illyana snarls as she’s thrown back from the creature a few feet.  she lands on her feet, heavily enough to feel it all the way up to hear teeth.  fury whips through her white-hot and lightning fast, and she spits at the monster’s feet.  blood and spit at its feet a sign of her utmost contempt.  ❝ go to hell. ❞  

when she strikes again, there’s something other-worldly in the flash of her sword.  hellish.  her sword passes through its body like it’s nothing, but it buckles nonetheless.  before it can collapse entirely, illyana kicks it square in the chest, back a foot into the inky black circle behind it.  the demon-like monster is swallowed up by the portal and illyana is left panting as she comes back to herself.

        ❝ i had it handled, da ?? ❞  

kitty pants heavily, backflipping away from the monster. she reaches up with her forearm, wiping away sweat at her forehead, watching as illyana took care of the monster. kitty was a skilled fighter herself but not nearly as effective in these kinds of situations, she was great at fighting normal people, not so much giant hell monsters. “i see that.” kitty managed to chuckle, her breath still heavy. “i totally coulda done it but i was letting you have your shot, y’know. equal opportunity and all that.”

               ‘ okay, i need to get some food. i havent eaten all morning. ‘ 

“yeahyeah you do that. also---while you’re at it get me some too.”

     “ come on, kitty.  i don’t think i could kill anyone.  not on accident.  i’m not that good at any of my stuff.  nothing more than a few broken bones, i bet. ”

“you never know. i never thought i could kill anyone----and look what happened. even broken bones aren’t fun though. let me break you arm and then you be cool with it.”

[prydcisms]

titanhera:

   “ i guess i don’t really understand the problem.  i didn’t hurt anybody, did i ?? ”  no one’s really taught her that responsibility with your abilities goes beyond whether someone get hurt or not.

“that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be more responsible. if you’re not people could get killed in the future y’know?”

“You were being controlled like a marionette and I stabbed you in the heart, my make-it-better kiss could have gotten lost somewhere in that messed up noodle,” Illyana jested, forcing a smile as her knuckles knocking lightly on her friend’s skull for effect. “Oh, right, yes. That is why I did it.” Illyana’s shoulders heaved up and down as her lungs expelled a breath of air. “Right, you have feelings for me.” Covering her nervousness by shifting position on the couch, Illyana’s eyes softened, the barest hint of a smile inched across her lips. “May I ask, do you feel an increase of heart rate when I speak your name? When I touch you?” Fingers reached out, sweeping a few stray locks out of her best friend’s face. “Can you keep your eyes off of me when I’m in the room?” A hand traveled down, coming to a stop once the fingertips found the softness of her best friend’s cheeks, thumbs lightly tracing the corner of her lips. “Because I can’t keep my eyes off of you, and my heartbeat grows faster, it’s so fast. When we’re together, I feel everything.”

“well even with all that i didn’t forget. i’m not sure i could exactly forget the person i’ve been in love with since i was 13 kissing me.” she retorted with a small smile as illy knocked on her head. it felt strange to finally say it out loud considering how long she’d kept it to herself but she was tired of hiding it. she was going to be honest with herself and illy even if it meant things changed. kitty felt her breath hitch in her chest as illyana reached out and brushed the hair from her face. “’yana i feel that way when i even think about getting to see you. when you text me. when i hear someone else say your name. my heart feels like its going to beat out of my chest right now. “ she replied softly, her eyes locked on illyana’s. before kitty even realized what she was doing she leaned in, grabbed the front of illyana’s shirt and pulled her in for a kiss. seconds later she pulled away slowly, a smile playing on her lips. “sorry---i’ve just wanted to do that for so long.”

how have you been since the court took control of your mind?

“not great. i mean--they made me do things i’d never do and i can’t exactly forget about them either.”

🔥     meddling in x-men affairs was never danny’s idea of a good time. hell– he barely liked meddling in his own affairs. but, having heard (and witnessed) what had happened with kitty, he felt a need to check in on the girl. after all, who could you trust if not the x-men? okay, there’s a long list of people, but still. carrying a frothy and overly drizzled drink in one hand and a simple chai tea in the other, he placed the drinks down on the table and sat across from his company. “so– should i ask how you’re doing or do you just wanna tell me?”

kitty didn’t answer immediately, instead, she reached forward picking up her drink and taking a small sip from it. she hadn’t talked much about what had happened, instead she resigned herself to her room and crying. kitty hated herself for what happened, she’d killed people, innocent people and even mutant teens that she’d promised to protect. she’d been told it wasn’t her fault but she saw it far differently. she knew she should have been stronger, should have fought their hold harder, instead she’d given in completely and had almost lost control of herself forever---and probably would have if it weren’t for illyana. “i’m fine.” she lied, with a simple shrug before taking another sip of the drink. “mostly at least, my stomach still hurts from getting stabbed by ‘yana but i’m sure that’ll quit eventually.”

Illyana hadn’t been avoiding Kitty; while she was incredibly relieved that her best friend had been too busy to be with her the past week, she wasn’t intentionally avoiding her. The kiss they shared left little doubt as to where Illyana’s heart lay, but her mind was left in a painful uncertainty. And so, a war brew inside her, heart and mind in constant turmoil; a war she knew she would lose nonetheless. “Katya,” she greeted. “I suppose we have to,” she corrected. “I thought I was going to lose you so I—” Illyana went silent, allowing the young woman to continue. “Oh,” she breathed out once Kitty elaborated. Illyana couldn’t tell if she was relieved or heartbroken that maybe the kiss they shared hadn’t been as memorable to Kitty as it had been to her. “You don’t remember?”

kitty looked over the other woman, thinking of what she wanted to say next. “i---of course i remember ‘yana. how could i forget? its what helped break their hold over me.” her eyes fell away from illyana and she knitted her hands together nervously. “i...i know that you know how i feel and that’s why you did it. we’re okay though right? my feelings don’t make this weird or anything i hope.”

kitty eyed the other woman at the side of the room and made her way over to her slowly. “hey uh-’yana, can we talk?” she asked, softly. sitting next to her. “about what happened with me and everything? and um-how you stopped it? we haven’t really had much of a chance to talk about it since then with me having gotten treated and the whole maze thing.”

    emma gestures towards an empty chair for kitty, but remains silent while she waits for the young woman’s question.  it actually manages to surprise emma, and she tilts her head as she regards kitty.  “ that depends on how you mean.  do you mean weak of will ??  or do you mean whether you could use to do more push ups ??  because, if you’re asking the latter, then yes. ”  a pause now, a suggestion of a smile.  “ if you mean the former, then no.  far from it. ”

kitty took a tentative seat, her eyes not daring to even glance in emma’s direction. she was ashamed of herself, hated herself for what the court had done to her. “if i’m not then why was it so easy for them to control me? why could they just make me do those things---kill people?” tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke. “I’m an x-man. i should have fought it but i couldn’t.”

[prydcisms]

@fabergcs)

kitty walked into the other’s room hesitantly, fingers knitting nervously in front of her. “hey uh-emma could i talk to you for a second please?” she asked nervously, her hands falling to her side. “i just have a quick question for you, i promise. it won’t be long. i don’t want to bother any of you more than i have to.” a dull pain echoed through kitty’s lower half, a stark reminder of what illyana had accidently done to her when kitty had lost control of herself. “am i weak?”

[prydcisms]

fabergcs:

    “ no, i don’t think i can. ”  emma crosses her legs and sits back in her seat casually.  “ i think you should tell me about what important thing you have to get to. ”

kitty glared across at her, scanning her features. “i don’t think that’s any of your business, now is it. i’m not one of your little cuckoo’s frost. i don’t answer to you or anyone else around here.” her arms crossing over her chest. “why am i so important to you now anyway? shouldn’t you be finding out who’s been killing the mutants around here? i mean----you can read minds right? it shouldn’t be too hard for you.”
