Liu Kang hasn't always been one for parties. He has always preferred to stay at the Wu Shi and meditate in his temple. But the Fire God decided to humor Johnny and attend the party that johnny was hosting.

Being the protector of Earthrealm as well as the Titan of time, Liu Kang was the center of attention for much of the night. So many people came to him and started conversations, maybe they ask him questions hoping to pry out some answers for major moments in their lives.

Sometimes an entire entourage would form around him. You were almost knocked down by the crowd of people as they walked past you

Finally after some time the crowd around him finally lightened up giving Liu Kang a chance to slip away. That is how he came across you.

You had avoided him all night. Whether you avoided him out of intimidation or nervousness or maybe sometime completely different is still a mystery

But no matter your feeling you had always caught Liu's eyes. You had always been special to him. He took great care in crafting everyone's destiny in this new timeline he especially took great care when crafting your new life.

Something about you was just so captivating that Liu Kang couldn't keep you out of his head indefinitely. So when he found out you were here, he decided upon himself that he'd speak to you at least once tonight.

He finally spotted you in the sea of people he moved and started making small talk the best he could without revealing too much. But then he seemed to get lost in thought while looking at you "You have improved so much, considering who you were originally..."

He trails off for a second then realize his mistake

"Forgive me, I misspoke." He waves his hand as if he was shooing away a thought.
