Kitty swallowed thickly. It was no secret that Emma Frost intimidated her. Hell, she scared her a little bit. It was a bit ridiculous but there was something in her that felt cold and unreadable. It made her feel off balance and unsure of where she stood with the woman. “It’s no real issue,” she said quietly. She didn’t like feeling afraid or intimidated. She hated it actually. And after the last attack she’d realized something. She didn’t want to be weak anymore. She wanted to be able to hold up her head and face down anything.
“I was wondering if you’ve reached your TA limit.” She had to force herself not to look at the ground and instead keep eye contact with the woman. “Or if you’d consider me for a spot.”
“Excellent.” Emma retorted through the brief issue of silence. She let her eyes drift from the young lady down to the neat stack of essays on her desk. They were more like nine page papers. She immediately flipped them to the back side so that the contents of the text weren’t visible. Last thing she needed was to interrogate the girl on why so many of the submitted text sounded synonymous. Her fingers pressed together with her palms collapsing. Slowly, she rocked them so they would rest on her shoulder, brushing her hair all toward the back. “Take a seat. You may need the stability.”
While Emma wasn’t the most agreeable personality and often didn’t mix well with general populations, she was respected for her hard work. Her determination. She could read a person even without tapping into their mind. The fact she stood out. And in a world that was still being controlled by sexism, they understood what it was like to be under the Frost thumb. “I have not.” She answered the girl. “But, my list of requirements are relatively easy.” She crossed her legs at the ankle. “I require my assistant to be able to hold his or her own ground. You will, as my second, be faced with many complaint. You will be the first line of frustration. While aggression isn’t my recommendation, I require substantial confidence.”
Emma stood, drawing herself to her bookcase. “Are you inquiring or simply curious? I also require the highest ranking GPA. Don’t allow your tongue to be held, Miss Pryde.”
