Kitty had her glasses on and her pen cap in her mouth as she marked over some papers of written out code. Absently she chewed as she marked out missing semi-colons and crossed out extra variables. Her idea of having her students write things out on paper was probably better for her eyes in the long run, but it made their mistakes all the more glaring. 

Kitty looked up as she saw Logan in the doorway. Weird, she thought he was off on his “memory/soul searches” again. Spitting out the pen cap and pushing up the glasses that had slipped waaaay down her nose she grinned at him. “Hey Logan.”

“Hey kid.”  He moved the rest of the way in, taking a look at whatever she was working on.  Which made absolutely no sense to him but Kitty looked like she had a handle on it.   “Well I have no fucking idea what that says but you look like you have it in hand.”   

Finding a perch he settled, giving her a level look.   “Got somethin’ to talk about with you.   You got a minute to take a break from that gibberish?”   Which should catch her attention because Logan never really wanted to talk.   He didn’t much like the fact he needed too now.   But the world was getting more dangerous.   Kitty’s skill set might be needed.

[phasingninja]

Kitty rolled her eyes as she twirled the pen in her free hand. “It’s not gibberish. It’s jQuery.” She said patiently. “Like Javascript?” Nothing. Well she didn’t exactly want to teach Logan. “It’s gibberish.” She sighed. Like she expected sophisticated tech talk. 

Well that was interesting, Logan seeking her out? For something other than extra danger room sessions or covering his classes? She put down the pen. “Sure, what’s up?”

Logan grumbled to himself as he went looking for Kitty.    He had a lot on his mind.  The most recent attack he dealt with meant he needed to talk to her.   She had some unique skills that would really come in handy if they really were going to actually face more of these things.

He never really wanted the kids to fight.  Logan would rather fight in their place.   To build a world without the struggles he faced.  Unfortunately everything told him that wouldn’t happen.  Instead he needed to make sure they would be ready to face whatever came on their terms.

Bobby hadn’t talked to Kitty in ages and although they had dated before he felt like the two of them were pretty close friends. He looked down at the box in his hand and wondered if she was going to be mad at him for disappearing for a while. He traveled around the tropics and had gotten her a gift. A few things he found on the beaches and a hand crafted necklace. Walking up to her door he reached out rasping his knuckles against it. The hollow sound made him arch his brows. “Kitty?” He questioned stepping back from the door.

Pulling off her headphones, Kitty pushed herself off her bed. She had taken a break from grading and was letting Cats Laughing blast out her eardrums. She was tempted to pretend she hadn’t heard the knocking but...that would be rude. Tossing her phone back onto the bed she walked to the door and peeped her head through it. Just to see who was there. 

Kitty was glad she had. “Bobby!” Slipping fully back into the room, she opened the door and gave her friend (ex boyfriend? friend) a giant hug. “You jerk, when did you get back?!”

Because Robots

Kitty had been bored. Soooo bored. All her friends were off doing their own things, classes were boring, she couldn’t pull too many pranks on Logan without him catching on, and calling her mother was beyond the last resort. So she was cleaning out her inbox when she found a spam email.

“ROBOT BATTLE!!! WIN BIG MONEY!!!

Lo and behold it was true. There was a robot battle in manhattan, you got paired up with a partner and built a robot. Well, Kitty’s partner was some guy named Peter Parker and after a few emails they’d decided to Skype. So she set up her webcam, pulled up her notes and set up the call.

[spiderofscience]

Peter had decidedly mixed feelings about making a robot just to fight with.  But the lure of a fun project plus prize money proved to be a bit more than he could resist.   So he signed up, and got partnered up with some student in Westchester.   Which would make in person meetings not exactly practical but that is what the internet was for.  

Thankfully by now he had a much more decent computer to do this with.   Plus some fun little engineering type programs to work with.  Hopefully making this enjoyable rather than a pain.   Thankful that he changed his username to something a bit more respectable Peter took one last glance around his room to make sure it looked decent before accepting the call.   

“Um, hi.  I’m Peter, obviously.”

[phasingninja]

Shaking some hair out of her face Kitty adjusted the volume on her computer just a tiny bit. “Yeah, hi. I’m Kitty.” Ugh Kitty sounded so babyish. Maybe she should think of going to Kate or something? No she knew like a bazillion Kate’s. And Katie’s. And Katherine’s. Kitty would have to do for now, or until she could legally change her name to Khaleesi. 

This guy was out in Queens so there was no way they could meet more than like once in person. Skype messaging and stuff was fine for right now. They could share screens and stuff like plans. And baby she had a lot of plans. “So did you have any ideas for this thing, because I drew a couple of things up?” She offered. No need to look like that person on her first impression. 

[phasingninja]

Kitty Pryde was not a morning person. In fact she barely considered herself a person at all until she got some coffee in her system. So she padded downstairs, yawning and rubbing her eyes underneath her glasses. She didn't have to teach any classes for a bit, so there wasn't any real reason to get dressed and put in her contacts. She'd just have her coffee, have some breakfast, and wake up all nice and on her own time. There might even be a couple of chocolate poptarts left over from breakfast.

Pouring a generous cup of coffee she added some milk and idly paged through the paper that someone had left sitting on the small staff table. Must have been Logan, the sports scores were right on top. She only cared about that when it was baseball season. Taking another long drink of coffee, she nearly spat it out when she skimmed the editorials page. Kitty had thought she was done with this! The public had finally stopped freaking out about the girl who had walked through walls and now it was all over the Bugle!!! 

"What the hell?" She looked up, eyes blazing. "Can you believe this?"

[phasingninja]

Okay so here she was. In the middle of Central Park, celebrating Captain America's birthday, with all the Avengers. Somewhere someone was having way too much fun with this. Kitty was no where in her league! She remembered being a teenager when Tony Stark announced he was Iron Man, hell there was a Black Widow plushie guarding her snack drawer! And now she was watching them mill around and do things other normal people did. Also she was promised swimming. Hopefully that would happen. Kitty had gotten a new suit and she felt very grown up. Otherwise she would probably...just try to see how the hot dogs measured up or something. Casually she walked over to the cooler and grabbed a soda.

“Sure you do.” Kitty grinned. Logan was the king of the 1D10T error. But he was better than Bobby the former porn King. No Logan’s browser history was more trying to order old cigars on eBay or watch pirated westerns. If Logan understood what an aesthetic was, his browser history was an important part of his.

“And isn’t there a bridge you should be guarding?” She grinned back. School troll wasn’t her best comeback, but it was the weekend. “No training sessions today?”

“I’m old kid, not incompetent at technology.”  Equal parts amused and exasperated, a small amount of those emotions leaked through to his tone.  Why him, why did he always get the mouthy ones to look after.  Now he just needed to nudge this one off the couch and to actually doing something.

Logan simply raised an eyebrow at the troll come back.   “Not unless you are volunteerin’.  You got the hang of your gift fine, but sometimes you do actually have to physically interact with people you know.”

[phasingninja]

Kitty just grinned to herself. Suuuure. "Good because I'm taking a day off."

That got a real genuine laugh out of her. "Pot meet kettle." She grinned. "You're, like, the most anti social person here!" And that's when he was here. "You sure you're not just projecting onto me?" That psych course really was useful.

Logan got to meet all the cool people. Captain America, that dude with the missing glowing eye...so not fair. She had better people skills than he did. And she was taller! But...that wasn't saying much. Must be why the former symbol of the nation was giving her the skeptical eye. Oh to be taller.

"Oh! Yeah. Of course!" She felt her face warm as she stepped aside to let him into the foyer. So where to take him that would stop them from being mobbed by students. The Professor probably didn't want her showing off the basement levels, her own office was a disaster zone. The teachers lounge. That would do. "Right this way."

Mission: Ross's Office

It was kind of ironic, Kitty mused as she walked down the Washington DC street. The little girl who could walk through walls, who had spent YEARS, trying to prove she was harmless, was now using that talent to steal from the government. Was that irony? Maybe. But this was something that had to be done. Ross was a bad person, no sugar coating. With the Accords and how it was riling up the public towards mutants, it was only a matter of time before someone knocked on their door. And it was terrifying. The last time registration had taken any traction was in the 1940s and everyone knew how THAT ended. She was going to put a stop to help mutantkind. Even with phasing power the real trick here was you couldn't use the doors. They had alarms and sensors. Luckily this place had a large lobby and lots of construction. Taking a look around to make sure no one was watching, Kitty walked through the glass wall and through the security desk. Looking at the list of businesses she sighed. Of course Ross was on the top floor, and taking the elevator was too risky. It had been such a long time since leg day. After longer than Kitty would have liked she walked through the wall into the office that took up the whole floor. Thankfully no one was burning the midnight oil. It didn't take long to find Ross's office at the end of the hall. Well this was interesting. He had a keypad lock instead of a key. It had obviously once been a latch and key lock but someone had welded a keypad lock on. And what was he trying to hide? She had a couple of electronic tricks up her sleeve but really wanted to use those later. Time to use that handy dandy mutant power! Reaching through the door up to her shoulder, Kitty felt around until she found the latch then turned it. That THUNK sound was really satisfying. Why spend the headache to toy with and break technology when you can go around it? Now for that laptop....

Kitty absently curled her hair around her finger as she marked her technology class’s papers. Marking papers and not checking her World of Warcraft account. Had to learn self control sometime. Besides she was twitchy. Probably had something to do with why she had been thrown into dance classes in the first place. Let the girl burn off some of that excess energy.

But this was different. It was the Sokovia Accords, the only thing that anyone here was talking about. Who supported them, who was against them, and what they would mean for the future. The thing that Kitty had none of the answers for. And she hated that. Okay she was getting nowhere. Time for a break. She got up and walked towards the kitchen, get a soda or steal some of Bobby’s ice cream. Then the doorbell rang. Someone had probably ordered pizza, or maybe it was a door to door pamphlet person. It had been a long time since she had scared off one of those. She opened the door. “Hi, can I help you?”

Steve was tempted to not wait on the front door step and go to explore the school grounds. His school, way back in the ‘40′s in Brooklyn, wasn’t anything like this and curiosity was niggling at him inside of his mind. Everything looked so grand! But he wasn’t here for a school tour and he had to remind himself of that.

The door opened and a woman he didn’t recognise was stood there. “Good afternoon,” he said, “I’m hoping you can help me. I’m looking for Logan or any of the teaching staff here? I’ve got something I need to discuss with them.” In his few conversations he’d had with Logan, Logan had mentioned that the majority of the teaching staff were a part of the X-Men team, and that’s who Steve wanted to speak to.

[phasingninja]

Hooooooly crap. This was Captain America. Captain America was standing in the doorway. No wait. Steve Rogers was in the doorway, that was the right name, she was pretty sure. He wasn't Captain America anymore. But that wasn't the point. The point was he was standing right here!

Discreetly standing up straighter and shaking her hair out of her face, Kitty crossed her arms. "Logan's actually not here." Probably at Harry's or somewhere else. "But I'm on the staff. Can I help you?"

Kitty munched on a handful of popcorn as she lounged on the window seat. All of her friends had such rich social lives, she had been trying to cut back her WoW hours, and it wasn’t even baseball season anymore. She kind of missed being a kid. You could just go up to anyone and do whatever. Now everything was so dire, so important. No one ever joined her Star Wars marathons anymore. So Kitty Pryde was going to treat herself to a good pout. That was until a rumbly voice interrupted her thoughts. “I’m not fixing your computer again.”

He huffed, “I know how to operate a computer just fine, it doesn’t always need fixing.”   Logan studied her posture, his gaze flicked between her and the screen.  While he didn’t understand everything that went through her head, this seemed like boredom.

“What are you doing inside.   Aren’t there like, malls or something you could be hanging out in?”  Yes he knew that wasn’t all she did.   Just a bit of needling to get under her skin.   

[phasingninja]

"Sure you do." Kitty grinned. Logan was the king of the 1D10T error. But he was better than Bobby the former porn King. No Logan's browser history was more trying to order old cigars on eBay or watch pirated westerns. If Logan understood what an aesthetic was, his browser history was an important part of his.

How to Celebrate

At least she wasn't too overdressed. Kitty was in her one and only little black dress and heels that had cost more than her computer. But this wasn't parent teacher event at Xavier's, this was a birthday party at Tony Stark's. This guy knew how to party if TMZ was any indication. Music pounded, booze flowed and women wore next to nothing. Was this what it felt like to be a grown up in the 1%? Well so far she was standing by the window she sipped at a glass of white wine. Why did all wine taste like nail polish remover? Even Logan's stuff tasted better. But this was what adults drank at adult parties. And she was certainly an adult. Besides, with the amount of Asgardian mead around she wanted blackmail. Looking at the light she finished her drink.

Keeping track of the damn kids could be a pain in the ass, even for him.   Sure he could track just about anyone or anything anywhere.   A good thing considering a bunch of mutant kids could and did get just about anywhere.   The more difficult part the confined space where old and new trails criss-crossed over the space.   So tracking down one, while familiar took a bit more effort than normal, although not by much.

Logan grumbled the third time the trail ended at a wall.   Of course mutants often had a few more tricks up their sleeves than most when it came to getting to their chosen destination.    Lucky for him, he knew most of this particular target’s hangouts of choice.   He just needed to find the right one.

Finally, he found her.   Logan watched Kitty for a moment before his voice rumbled to get her attention.  “Hey kid.  What are you up to?”   Regardless of how old this lot got, they still would be kids to him.  Especially this one.

Roaming around the busy streets of Midtown while staying close to a safe house was one thing for Steve. He was just getting the hang of it, blending in while watching his own back, to the point where he had figured out the best times to go for a run or when to get fresh supplies for him and the others staying with him. But getting out from the safe house all the way to West Chester really put Steve’s stealth skills to the test.

He took various modes of public transport, making sure he didn’t look directly into any security cameras. He made it to West Chester with no trouble and it wasn’t difficult to search out his destination there. The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was on the outskirts of the town and to the north. Steve arrived at the gates and stared in for a moment, suddenly unsure if anyone inside of the school would actually want him there, much less talk to him. The history between the Avengers and the X-Men had never been smooth after all.

But he needed to know where the X-Men and their allies stood with the Sokovia Accords and whether he had any allies within that team should he decide to make things even more difficult for the Accords as they stood presently. Logan had helped Steve recently but Logan was only one person out of a large team.

Steve made his way through the gates, up the long driveway, and to the main entrance of the grand, old building. He rang the doorbell and waited. It was still early in the morning and he hoped he wasn’t going to disturb any classes. He could hear some kids playing somewhere on the grounds which caused a small, lop-sided, closed lip smile to appear. Those kids sounded so carefree, Steve found he was slightly jealous of them for it.
