Oct. 9th, 2018 07:08 pmShe starts laughing as she enters Alastaire's office. "Good morning. I think I might have broken Pete--at least mentally. So please go easy on him today if he seems out of sorts." She goes back to her work space and sets up her computers. She gives Alastaire a sly smirk.
The First Evening
Oct. 3rd, 2018 08:08 pm They arrived back home after midnight and she was anything but beat, despite how she had been awake for around twenty hours. She felt wired, and not just from the coffee and sweets that she had consumed. It had been a long time she had been so giddy and content.
She starts to unpack some of her essentials--change of clothes for the following day, a night shirt for bed, tooth brush and tooth paste, hair brush, and makeup--and left everything else unpacked. She could deal with it later in the weekend.
Even though things had seemed to move along pretty quickly, she wasn't going to automatically assume that he necessarily wanted her in his bed tonight. That might be a little too fast--or not. It was difficult to say. But she was still looking to Pete for his lead. She leaves her brand new ID card on the dresser and slips back into the small sitting room, dressed in a long blue t-shirt, underwear, and matching socks.

Back to Work
Sep. 29th, 2018 07:24 amKitty spends another three hours on site. There was a delivery scheduled at the time the hybrid beings showed up. There was a double decker bus that had arrived. Windows blocked out, plates obscured. She was going to need to watch the CCTV footage from the city to learn more about where the bus even came from.
They had also collected hair and fibre samples frim inside the store. They got the names of all of the present employees for possible further questioning later. They also took the body of the dead stock worker. Kitty herself got all of the internal security footage.
Then it was off to Whitehall. It was unfortunate their grocery shopping trip got scrapped. She was going to check to see if Tesco delivers.
She accompanies the retrieval team back to Whitehall and gets stopped at the front desk for not having a security badge. The front desk guy calls up the MI-13 office for approval.
"Working a developing case and I get stuck at security," she laughs. "Fantastic." She takes her cellphone from her pocket and calls Wisdom directly.

Sep. 27th, 2018 08:24 pm"Do you know how long it has been since I've done my own grocery shopping? About eight years ago, when I was in grad school." She smirks and takes a cart. "That was an interesting time in my life. I was working at a bar as a bar tender. There was leather involved in addition to a fake tattoo. First time in my life I ever lived alone too." Kitty had lived an extensive life since they broke up and she wanted to make sure he knew how much. Grad school, living in a giant bullet in space for two years. Living on a spaceship. Being engaged to two different guys. There had been two other boyfriends in there too. Seth and Bobby. Seth was insane and Bobby broke up with her because he came out as gay to her. The 'lets be friends' talk was interesting.
England had a way of giving her a chance to reflect. In all honesty, she had one hell of a crazy fucked up life. There was a whole period of time where she thought she had to live that way. It really had a way of sucking a person in.

Sep. 23rd, 2018 01:37 amIt was the first time since the wedding she had gotten to bed at a reasonable hour. Being physically and mentally exhausted took a toll, and the leader of the X-Men's job was never done.
She felt a bit selfish, going to bed before 11pm--but she was going to take advantage of her good fortune. It was perfectly fine to carve out some time. She recalled Ororo' s ritual of communing with her plants--when she had her abilities and after they had been stripped away. For Kitty, a good morning jog often proved to be what the body required, but tonight? It was definitely rest. A stressful few weeks demanded some self-care.
She fell asleep effortlessly into a dreamless sleep. Upon waking, that's when she became aware that something wasn't right. A sunbeam streaming in her room rousted her. She opened her eyes while still groggy and felt a cold shiver run down her spine. This wasn't her room. She jumped out of bed and went to the window. The grounds! The mansion was back in Westchester!

An Offer You Can't Refuse
Apr. 25th, 2012 01:41 amIt wasn't every day that Kitty was invited to Stark Tower. She could not hazard a guess why Tony Stark needed to speak with her--and his receptionist had been less than forthcoming with the details. The meeting was made for her earliest convenience--the Tuesday after her weekend spent at the Mansion. The weekend in question had gone quite well, if she did say so herself. No sudden attacks, no having to save the universe from some immediate threat, just peace and quiet time that she could spend with her family. Though she felt that peace and quiet, the pending meeting with Mr. Stark that was to follow left her feeling puzzled when she pondered it.
The only times she had actually met the man happened some years ago when she was an X-Man, and then later on when she was with Excalibur. They each had some sort of connection to SHIELD, but she wagered that he saw more of them than she did. She would make her monthly reports and a handful of times during the year she would speak to one of the field operatives, or Director Fury himself, but that was the extent of that. This was a tad out of the norm, which left Kitty feeling even more curious.
Kitty arrived to the Tower's lobby ten minutes before the meeting time. She was wearing a dark blue drape front taffeta dress and gold colored three inch heels. She had left her hair down, but she had smoothed out some of its unruly waves while she was getting ready. She rarely had an occasion to dress up in such a way, and she thought this meeting might call for it.
"Katherine Wisdom to see Mr. Stark," she told the receptionist. The woman directed her to sit, but Kitty opted to stand at the far end of the counter, letting her eyes drift over the door she presumed that she would be entering. She crossed her arms, fidgeted, and shifted her gold bangle around her wrist.
