Kitty: Hey.

Kitty: I know I'm the last person you probably want to talk to right now because of the decisions I made regarding this whole situation but I just wanted to check how you're coping.

There's a spider in our apartment. I vote we burn it down.

Cassie stared at Kitty for a long time. When she was younger, the fight was about pride. About making her father proud. The fight was about glory, a lot of the time. She would admit that. Of course, at its core, it was always about helping people. Her entire lifestyle revolved around justice and fighting for the right thing, but now she was more scared than she’d admit to anyone… other than Kitty. The confession of just how scared she’d become had been hard, as Cassie had never much cared for her own fear, jumping into battle regardless. But now, the fear hung heavy on her in the majority of her life, essentially frying the blonde’s nerves down to the frays. If Kate wouldn’t care, Cassie took comfort that at least Kitty did. So, she smiled finally, nodding. Through her life, if Cassie had learned one thing, it was that she would do anything to survive something that tried to knock her down.

"Plus side of getting big: I can carry a ton. Literally," she chuckled softly, moving Kitty’s arm easily to hug her in thanks for the advice. After a moment, she shifted to look up at her mentor with a little more of a confident smile taking a moment to look at her, to really look for the answer to her question ”Are you doing okay?”

Kitty had supported Cassie’s decision from the second Cassie had told her that she wanted out of the fight. The only question she’d asked was; are you sure? All it had taken was a simple ‘yes’ for her to be sure that Cassie meant it. To Kitty, there was a strong difference between giving up and giving in. Giving up meant dropping it all together, giving in meant realising your limits and realising your focus would be better off somewhere else. That was the compromise they had come to when Cassie had admitted she was scared. Cassie would still be an X-Man, she would keep her uniform but instead of being a field member, she would play a role behind the scenes. The X-Men were not one group, they hadn’t been for years. There were divisions to them, squads all over the country doing different jobs. Cassie would become part of the technical squad, a squad Kitty was part of while still being part of the field squadron.

"Just because you can carry a tonne, doesn't mean you should," she chuckled in response. As had become a regular thing, Kitty had her arm wrapped around Cassie’s shoulders as they sat talking; it was a gesture she always opted for when Cassie needed comforting or reassurance. “I’m fine,” she replied and she meant it. She may have still been dealing with everything but she was better than she had been for weeks. “I’ve got everything under control.”
