   “ That- …. Feels like a trick question. If I say yes, can we drink it? “

“Yes,” Kitty replied. She opened a bottle and poured two glasses for herself and the stranger. “I have to warn you, though. Whiskey is an acquired taste, my friend. If you don’t like it, don’t come crying to me.”

“That’s a fine, if pessimistic, summary of humans. They have infinite choice, and fall back upon the same handful of mistakes. It almost sounds as if you are used to it.”

“When you’re my age and you’ve seen the things that I’ve seen, you get used to it. I mean, I’ve been fighting off people that have been trying to close down my school for ages and that’s been going since way before I was the principal.”

       “ well, sure, but can’ guarantee it’ll go well. lotta people down dere ain’t a fan o’ me. got banished once or twice, but i’ll take da kids. kinda miss bein’ down dere. ”

“Do you want me to come with you so that I can phase and scare the living shit out of those meanies that banished you? I mean, can you imagine the looks that would be on their faces when they see one of my hands through their bodies?”

“Remy, how do you feel about taking some of the kids on a field trip to New Orleans over winter break?”

“Well, you won’t have to go anywhere ideally, “ Jen smiled softly, taking the portfolio. She really should open things and read before talking, but that wasn’t her here. She hears mutants, she hears court, she jumps.

“It’s on the house.” She handed the folder to Bradley across the room working on her coffee maker. She had to install a new one, and by she, she meant Bradley. Typically, you gave more time to review and decide before taking a case, but Jen wasn’t afraid of a challenge. One crimelord who used power to bump off people he didn’t like? Oh boy, she never dealt with that before.

“Least I could do.”

“Thank you,” Kitty replied with a relieved smile. She honestly didn’t know how Jen would react to all of this given that the X-Men and the Avengers had fought a war not that long ago, but it was good to know that she had someone out there who was looking out for her interests and those of the kids, of course. 

“That slimeball is trying everything in his power to clear this city of superheroes,” Kitty took a seat in an armchair and crossed one leg over the other. “Mutants are an easy target. Everybody hates us. We’re not exactly the most popular people in this city even though we are some of the most visible. Of course, he could have gone after Spider-Man or Daredevil, but those targets are harder for him to get his hands around.”

She could think of other people that Fisk was probably thinking of eliminating as he moved down the line. He’d probably start with the small heroes and work his way to the top. “The thing is that this eviction notice for us is probably only the beginning,” she said after a moment. “But I want to put a plug in it legally. It’s what Professor X would have wanted me to do and I hope I’m not a coward for trying to do what is right instead of just phasing into Fisk’s apartment and killing him with my own bare hands.”

Kitty remembered Halloween in Chicago. She had never dressed up as a princess as far as she could recall. She was too smart for that. One year, she had gone trick or treating as a CIA spy from a show to which she had become addicted. Then there had been the year when she had dressed up as Ursula from The Little Mermaid eight legs and all, but those weren’t her favorite costumes. Far from it.

“Did you see any nice costumes this year?” she asked. “Or was every boy dressed like Spider-Man and every girl like The Wasp?”

“How is that hot dog treating you, Spider-Man? Is it as good as the ones in Queens?”

Sitting in Dr. Lecter’s office, all Kitty could hear was the incessant ticking of the clock. She had driven out to Baltimore for weeks and she didn’t feel like she was getting anywhere. She had gone over the same territory numerous times – her parents sending her to Xavier’s School, having to grow up overnight, having to fight enemies that were bigger and much more powerful than herself when she had never hurt a fly in her life. She had recited all of it like some kind of poem that she had had to memorize for English class, but it was all just words and stories that were wasting the doctor’s time.

“I know why my parents did what they had to do,” she said looking up. “I get that my mutation scared them to death and they wanted to help me, but what kind of parents help their child by sending her to a school hundreds of miles away? What kind of sick fucks think that the best place for a child is a place where she gets turned into a fucking soldier?”

   “ whoaaa  –   that really is cool! “  shyleen  exclaims,   wonder and delight painting over her  young  countenance as she  watched  the movement of the other woman’s  fingers.   “ i wish i could do something really cool like that,  but my power is … um …  extremely uncool,   literally speaking.  i mean,  i could heat up your coffee, if you wanted …!    that’s something,  i guess. “

“Knock yourself out,  kid.” Kitty slid the coffee mug across the desk as she freed her phased hand. “And there’s no such thing as an uncool mutation around here. What you have is actually really, really cool. Pyrokinesis is the technical name. A lot of people have it, but we could use someone like you around here.”

// I really hate how certain writers and artists infantilize Kitty. Reading Astonishing X-Men is so frustrating because it’s a great Kitty story, but Joss Wheatbread has to turn her into a gum chewing teenager every other panel when she’s probably way into her twenties at this point in the continuity and hasn’t been a teenager in a long ass time.

And, yes, I do understand that Kitty is naive to some extent. However, she’s also extremely smart and isn’t as dumb as some writers would like her to be.
