A Different Kind Of Love
When Fire God Liu Kang restarted history, he altered the fates of those he knew. For some, it was to neutralize the threat of malefactors. For others, it was to give them a chance to be better than they were before. Some threads had to be cut to weave time's fabric. His loved ones were different than he knew them a timeline ago. As the God of Fire meditated in the Fire Temple one night, he reflected on more recent events. Lord Liu Kang took in a child who was orphaned. Geras identified her through the Hourglass as Karen Barrett: the lover of Thunder God Raiden. It didn't take Liu Kang long to realize that Karen had reincarnated. When Karen fell in love with Raiden, they were adults mentally and physically. Here and now? She was six years old when he found her scared and alone. The girl was malnourished, possibly from being on the run for so long. He gave her shelter, let her rest and eat. All the while, he learned about the former Lin Kuei. Her name in this timeline is Li Shuang
