Cast of Characters: Shadowcat, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Hood




Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty and Ellie drive down from the school to meet Jason. She'd given him the address of her new place in New York, 177a Bleecker Street. But hadn't really told him a whole lot about it besides the address. And that it was free, staying with a friend of Anna-Marie's. She also mentioned she'd be bringing a good friend of hers, one of the students from the school who could stand a trip into town.

And so Kitty's car pulls into a parking spot. She climbs out, waiting for Ellie to join her on the sidewalk. "This is it," she says, motioning towards the place. The building looks quite unique, standing out amongst those near it. "Jason should be about," she says, checking her phone to send him a text and see where he is.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie on the ride down notes she wants to get some NYC Pizza before they head back to the Mansion. She also fiddles with the radio until she finds a pretty punky station to listen to.

Sliding out of the car. "I can't believe you found street parking in New York..." and yeah she almost walks past 177a Bleecker before she realizes Kitty stops and backtracks to join her looking at it. "Hm I could have sworn..." she muses, not realizing the place has a misdirect on it.

Red Hood has posed:
For some reason, when Kitty send Jason the address, it seemed familiar to the vigilante. It tickled and teased his thoughts as he rode in on his motorcycle from Gotham side. He didn't leave the city often, and usually there was reason for it. When she sends him the text, it's an autoresponse of 'almost there'. A few minutes later, the bike roars around the corner and pulls up to a stop outside the building. Parking behind Kitty's Avalon, he sets down the kickstand and sets his helmet to the side, giving his hair a quick tossle before slipping on his baseball cap.

Noticing Kitty and the building she's standing in front of, he lifts a hand in greeting. "Hey. Was just napping before you called." Because it wasn't quite late enough for Batlings to be up and about as he slips an arm around her waist to greet her with a kiss.

That's when he notices the young woman with Kitty and releasing the counselor, gives a bob of his head in greetings towards Ellie. "'ey." he greets, before glancing back towards Kitty with a lift of a brow.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty tells Ellie, "I know, right? It's like there's always a few empty spots in front of it." Kitty grins, waiting until they get inside to start springing the surprise bits. Plus she wants Jason to be there for them.

And there he is! She moves over to return the hug and give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Sorry if I got you up early," she tells him. Kitty's eyes are warm as she smiles at the man, and takes his hand to lead him over to Ellie. "Jason, this is Ellie. Ellie, my boyfriend I mentioned, Jason Todd," she says by way of introduction.

Kitty will give them a chance to exchange any greetings. Once that is done though she'll say, "This is the place. It's not a normal house by any means. But let me get you inside before going into that," Kitty says, motioning towards the impressive looking building. She'll walk over with them and open the door to bring them all inside.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is wearing her usual gothy punk attire, a bit of extra spikes on her boots due to Rachel's influence though. She peers at the building thoughtfully and then turns when Jason approaches and makes himself familiar with Kitty.

That look she gives him, the slow up, then down, and then up again is wow teenage burning judgement. "Hey Richie." she notes.

Then she looks to Kitty and back to the house. "Not normal... god our lives are weird..." but she follows Kitty inside now.

Red Hood has posed:
"Eh, no worse than usual. Damn sunlight. Bleah bleah." Jason mutters with a terrible vampire accent after the kiss as he steps back, only to have his hand snagged and lead over to Ellie.

"Sup." he greets casually, untangling his hand from Kitty's to offer it to Ellie. And he's left hanging. "Please tell me she's not your little sister." is muttered in soto whisper to Kitty. "Because I already get enough of that teenage angst from /mine/." When she mentions the home being special, there could almost be an audible eyeroll from Jason. "You thought Wayne Manor was not normal, Kitty." he comments with a gentle tease to his tone as he lets Ellie go in first - just in case there's a pit trap on the other side of the door. You never know with these murder houses.

Shadowcat has posed:
No pit trap. And Kitty helped Wong clean up the blood from the last attack. The damage to the walls done by the giant beast is quite possibly repaired by now as well. So instead it just looks like this really, really amazing house.

Thank god Jason can't read subtext.

Kitty motions to the house and says, "So, this is the Sanctum Santorum of Doctor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme of Earth," she says. She looks to Jason and says, "He's a wizard. Like the real kind though. Works with the Avengers. And Anna-Marie used to live here," she says. Kitty glances to Ellie to say, "Jason knows I'm a mutant, and a super hero. Knows this kind of stuff happens around me."

Kitty looks back to the place. "I came with Anna-Marie to seek an item to help fight some magic beings. And while we were here, she knew I was looking for a place in the city, suggested I stay here in her old room. DOctor Strange agreed. Just asked I help him sort some of his books and tomes, and digitize some of the fragile ones," she says.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Well the house is sort of alive. So yeah.

At Jason's tease "I'll assume you deserve anything you get from the teens in your life."

Once inside Ellie slows her roll and looks around. "Oh god... it's the mystic therapists house." she sounds like she suddenly has some mild dread, then fronts a bit adopting a look of who gives a fuck if they are in the Sorcerer Supreme's house.

"Wait.. okay .. now I am just utterly disappointed that mystic tomes can be digitized... they are supposed to be all sorts of crawling living ink and one would think the computer reading it might just summon a fleet of demons as you OCR it.." she sighs, mock disappointed.

Red Hood has posed:
There's a little laugh from Jason. "I'm still getting used to it all, to be honest. The more Kitty shows me, the more I'm impressed." No double entendres there. And of course, as Kitty mentions the magic stuff, he gives a nod. "I remember you telling me about the magic beings and all. It all seems so dangerous, I hope that you can take care of things and be back soon."

So /this/ is what it feels like when Bruce has to pretend to be a normal human. I'll apologize to him. Sometime. If I remember.

"I should introduce you to him, you may take back that words. Or you know, you two will be thick as thieves. I don't know." he admits with a shrug of his shoulders. Then the other comment causes a lift of a brow.

"Cyber-Sorcerery. I wonder if that's even a thing. I wouldn't think so, I mean. There's not like a 'SpellsRUs.com' is there?"

There is. But you have to be magically inclined to use it. Jason knows of it, but well, playing dumb. Not that much of a stretch.

"So are you a mutant too, Ellie?" he asks, as he looks around the house. "This is really lovely, Kitty. I can see why you'd want to stay here. Though my father had made the offer of you using the Brownstone and me moving back into the Manor. Something about my boxes being brough there?" he asks, with a playful narrowing of eyes at Kitty.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty gives a laugh at the comment about the tomes. "There may be some of those too for all that I know. If so I haven't gotten to them yet," she says, grinning over to Ellie. "I'm not really as up on all of the magic stuff. Friends are. And... I had a short run where I sort of had to stand in for one, but I never really... cast spells," Kitty says. She looks over to Jason and slips her arm about his waist. "Um, that's a story I haven't told yet."

As Jason asks Ellie about herself, Kitty does say anything, leaving it to Ellie to decide what to answer. Though Kitty would have reiterated on the ride down, that Jason knows she's a mutant and is good with mutants. But Kitty isn't revealing things about the school or the team to him, that would be up to anyone who chose to share.

"So upstairs here, is a room with a bunch of artifacts. Which I have no idea what they do, but they look awesome," she says, leading the way up the stairs. "So you've been here before then, Ellie?" she asks.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
To Jason about meeting his teenage sibling. "I dunno, I have exacting standards when it comes to high caliber snark and teen angst." and then she follows Kitty looking around now.

"I wonder where all the little cases full of wierd artifacts went... I could have sworn it was this floor." then she ahs and nods to Kitty. "Yeah.. I came through the mirror once by accident.. I bounced out pretty quick when the crazy Therapist House started trying to psychoanalyze me though." go figure.

"Also yeah RR, I am the badest ass mutant you will ever meet actually." yeah okay Ellie doesn't seem worried about hiding it since he knows about Kitty.

Red Hood has posed:
"Oh, you and him would get along swimmingly. Or try to ignore each other. Or you know death stares. Whatever." Jason offers with a shrug of his shoulders. "Yes. You look terrifying." comes the response to her being the baddest ass mutant he's ever seen. "I'm sure that your snark is lethal."

His attention drifts back to Kitty, and he arches a brow. "So magic artifcacts, tomes, teaching, transcribing, oh and part time modeling or whatever it is that you're doing for Miss van Dyne. I'm flattered you have the time for me still, Kitty." he offers with more than a little amusement as he gives a casual stretch out. Though he's not touching anything. Because well. Magic murder house.

Shadowcat has posed:
The not touching part is good. Kitty would probably jump if anyone even reached out to touch something. She knows enough to know to be careful at least. "There's also a really wonderful Asian man named Wong who lives here as well. Loves his ice cream," she says with a smile. Kitty grins at Jason and says, "Actually, I bet they would get along pretty well, at that."

Kitty reaches over and slips an arm about Ellie's shoulders. "Ellie is a definite bad ass. In fact I chose her to cover my back not too long ago when I had to meet someone dangerous." Kitty gives a quick squeeze to Ellie's shoulder and then immediately releases, knowing to keep such gestures brief.

Kitty motions towards her room. "Ah, Jason, actually, the vampire joke earlier? I actually ran into a vampire. And two werewolves, in the subway on my way to Gotham recently. The werewolves are apparently recruiting others to be turned that way. I may need to go out when we get back to Gotham. Try to get word to Gotham's Batman, it being his turf," she says. Kitty looks to Ellie to add, "Wolverine was with me. The vampire was actually on our side, which was... interesting."

Kitty stops in front of the door and says, "So, the room is magical. It'll take any form I want. I kind of have been thinking about skiing lately, so," she says, opening it up. It's like opening the door on a little ski chalet up in the mountains. Wood paneling. Views of a mountainside in winter, with frosted windows. A roaring fireplace with a rug before it. Big kitchen. Comfortable furniture and a door to a bedroom.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I'll be the judge of that." about getting along with absolutely anyone. For instance when Jason sarcasms about her badassery Ellie just narrows her eyes at him and considers doing something to demonstrate for the skeptic.

Which may be why Kitty times that arm around the shoulders and confirmation that Ellie is a badass. "Anytime Kitty." and yeah Ellie means it to, she backs her friends up.

"Huh Last time I ran into vampires they were definitely not on our side.. also in a train station... what is it with late night train stations. For Fucks Sake..." and then nods "Yeeeah.. definitely been in the magic room... though I wonder why when I was in it it was crappy... maybe it needs to be turned on." she frowns looking the door over now.

Red Hood has posed:
"Vampires? I thought I saw a story on that. I guess I'll stay away from the subways tonight." Jason offers, before he pauses, when Kitty explains the room - and then demonstrates it to the pair. Folding his arms over his chest for a moment, he peers inside as the room is there, and then she closes it, and his eyes drift over to Kitty. "Wow. Okay. That's impressive." She got him for once. Mark that down, Kitty. You managed to /honestly/ stun Jason. He's not faking that look of surprise.

"Or you need to give a token or something first..." he manages with a shrug of his shoulders, not sure what else to say on the matter. Or at least keeping himself in check. Because he is finally starting to settle into place.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde nods to Jason and Ellie. "The shooting in the subway? Three people hit. I pulled the slug out of the guy that had it almost in his spine, before going after them. It was the werewolves, shooting into the crowd," Kitty says. "Apparently you can't just kill them normally. I don't know what all kills them, but the vampire used silver. Even her bullets had some sort of silver in them. I grabbed one so I can get some copies of it made," she says, glancing at Jason as she says that part, though not so overt as to be obvious.

Kitty glances towards the room. "I think it keys off of the person it's given to. Though I was able to let Carrie pick a room she liked when she was in the city." Kitty reaches over, squeezing Jason's shoulder. "Don't get upset she saw it first, you were busy unfortunately, and she was already here," Kitty tells him with a soft smile. She close the door, and then opens it back up. It's turned into a cabana on a tropical island from the looks of it. She steps inside, a ceiling fan turning lazily too cool the room, while ocean breezes blow in through open windows. "No mosquitos either," she says with a grin.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
There is a slow shake of her head "God this reminds me of Genosha..." which may or may not be a good thing. In any regard Ellie follows Kitty into the room now. "Also have I mentioned our lives are super weird..." she just trails off and sits on the edge of the cabana's bed.

"So RR... I imagine you playboys have seen all sorts of stuff. How does all this measure up. Weird?"

Red Hood has posed:
"Huh. So just like the movies. Don't like garlic either, or did you try that?" Jason asks Kitty curiously as he smirks slightly. "Oh, I get it. Show it to the best friend and get her approval before you invite the boyfriend over. Totally understandable." he says with a grin towards Kitty, reaching up to cover the hand on his shoulder when Ellie speaks up.

"Super powers seems to lend to the super weird, Ellie." Jason offers with a shrug. "At least that's how it's come across to me so far. Eh. I don't really do the playboy thing. That's more my public older brother." he admits with a shrug. "I tend to be more of a grease jockey."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde moves over to the fridge, pulling out some ice and some fruit juice and various bits of tropical fruit. She begins cutting them up and adding them to a blender to make smoothies. "I told you Ellie. Jason isn't what you had in mind," Kitty tells her friend, glancing over to the teen. "He grew up on the streets. A hard life. And there's still more streets in him than there is mansions or any of that."

The blender whirs, mixing up bananas and passion fruit and kiwis - skin removed to turn into a frosty concoction perfect for the suddenly warmer weather in the room. Kitty pours the drink into glasses, adds straws and then brings them to distribute.

"However, he has just as much snark as you do. So you two will probably clash until you realize how alike you are," Kitty says with a soft smile. She reaches a hand over to rub Jason's upper arm for a moment as she smiles at him. "But yeah. Our lives can be kind of weird," Kitty tells Ellie. "And you haven't even been off planet yet I don't think."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Okay so Ellie grudgingly gives Jason another look up and down and then up again. "Okay maybe. I do know Daddy Waynebucks is a ridiculous playboy and a corpratist vampire squid on the face of humanity though." a rolling shrug.

"No one has as much a snark as me... and yes this is the second time I was reminded I haven't got to go to space yet and be a space pirate or something.. it may be a startling new trend Kitkat." and well Ellie does accept the drink and take a sip "Mmm magic drinks."

Red Hood has posed:
Accepting the drink, Jason frowns. "No beers?" he asks with a lift of his brow. But considering the shape that Kitty found him in that morning, he begrudgingly accepts the juice to sip from it. "I'm not one to argue that some of the crap that Wayne Industries does rubs people the wrong way. Only thing I can suggest is that you not buy whatever it is that gets in your craw." There's a glance towards Ellie and a thin smile. "And I promise to feel a little sorry for you when I have my next drink back home, using the money that you fed to the captalist machine that in turn took a kid off the streets."

There's just the thinnest of smiles offered at that, before he shakes his head.

"All this money, and I can't even get out of New York. So yeah. Space pirates, dragons, all that stuff. Way over my pay grade."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty doesn't offer too much commentary to deflect what Ellie had to say of Jason's father. Not for agreeing with it, but thus is the price of preserving people's secrets. "I suspect he's a far better man than you give him credit for," she does offer, but doesn't try to push the matter beyond that with Ellie.

Kitty smiles over to Jason and says, "Well, we'll manage to get away before too long. Somewhere interesting." She takes a sip of her drink and then says, "And space... ah, you know. As great as it sounds? It's not like I've ever been where it was just an enjoyable trip. There's always the screaming and violence and trying to stay alive." She shakes her head and looks to Jason. "I don't know how I was lucky enough to find someone who can put up with my life being this crazy. But I'm really grateful that I found you."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Well he is no Lex Luthor..." she grudgingly admits. "Or Wilson Fisk... I once painted a mural on the side of Fisk Tower..." she mms "I think there was a vampire that night too. Jesus what is it with vampires." and Ellie sips her smoothie watching Jason.

Yeah it is totally with lack of remorse or anything but teenage judgement. It might not be fair but who can blame the youth of 2027 being irritated about corporations and billionaires.

Red Hood has posed:
"Hey, you know, I could always just imagine one of those space movies with the floating stations and all that zero-G stuff and that would work, huh?" Jason asks Kitty with a rise of a brow. Totally not putting ideas in his head, is he? There's a glance back to Ellie and he considers.

"Hey, I don't blame you. Hell, if the old man hadn't found me trying to steal his wheels and decided to adopt me instead of incarcerating me in juvie? I don't know where I'd be today, Ellie." he offers with a shrug. "There's not a moment I know I didn't hit the lottery in the game of life." Even with it's outrageous tax. "So, I have that going for me."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde sits up and her eyes widen. "Oh my god, I didn't even think of that," Kitty says as Jason mentions turning the place into a space station. "I don't know if the room would give us zero gravity or not," she says curiously. "Though we could try. But like... I could show you the racial soul of the Acanti probably. I mean, you couldn't feel how it felt when we freed it and they were saved, and we were cured by it, I'd imagine... but, I could show you where Lockheed saved me for the first time!" she says, face bright at the memory.

Kitty smiles a little though at the change in direction of talk between Jason and Ellie. "I do think Mr. Wayne has in mind doing a lot of good. Yes, his company makes a lot of money. And, he enjoys the spoils of that. But I get a definite sense that he cares far more than some. I mean, I'd put him up there Warren Worthington," Kitty says. Who is obviously a mutant, so not a surprise she knows him, perhaps.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
When Kitty says Acanti ...well Ellie says gesundheit.

"I'm not sure I'd put him on Warren's level... I mean I've seen all the online gossip and news sites... he reaaaaally enjoys yachts and models." Ellie isn't wrong, she is just wrong about it being Bruce and not his cover.

"Still I guess I can't completely hold it against you RR." she eyes Jason. "Some people win the lotto and other peopel get shafted... I guess it is fine as long as you remember where you came from and don't become a douche."

Red Hood has posed:
"Bruce is a bit of a manwhore." Jason agrees with Ellie, giving the teen a wink. "See, in my case, it taught me to just stick with one woman, because otherwise, I end up all over the news, so it's better to just be as boring as possible." he admits with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Oh trust me, I know plenty of people that have gotten screwed over by the lottery and life as well." he admits with a shrug of his shoulders, before his hand settles in Kitty's. "I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to explore everything you could want to show me, Kitty."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde's hand rests in Jason's, squeezing back softly. "Yes, from what I can tell? Any amount or douche in Jason was there previously," she says, giving the man a teasing laugh at the end and leaning over to brush a kiss to his cheek.

About this time, Ellie might notice there's something new going on with Kitty's hand. On her left ring finger is a ring. It looks like it has some history to it, not a brand new ring but more like a family heirloom.

729ed1beef33ed7e545b48504543ef08.jpg

Kitty looks over to Ellie to say, "Seriously though? He's a good man. And I'm really happy that I found him," Kitty says, eyes going back to Jason. "I don't think I was ever this happy with someone before," she says. "So I just sort of.. know, with him."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Good plan and happy to hear it. You know we just want you to be happy Kitty." and somehow Ellie manages to not bring up any of Kitty's exes right now. Maybe she is saving that for another fun time.

To Jason though "You know if you hurt end up hurting Kitty I will blow you up." she says it so casual matter of fact while sipping her smoothy. "There will also be a line behind me..."

Red Hood has posed:
"I think you're gonna have to get in line behind some of my own family and friends, Ellie." Jason responds as he glances towards Kitty. "She's trying to so overtly show you that I've actually made a promise to her." he points out with more than a little amusement and kisses Kitty's cheek. "Teenagers aren't all gushy over that stuff, hon." he points out.

"So. How often are you going to be here?" he finally decides to ask. "I'm compiling what's becoming a very long list of places I need to check if you ever go missing."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde gives Ellie a warm smile as she speaks so protectively of Kitty. "Thank you, Ellie," Kitty tells her. She reaches her hand over so Ellie can see the ring she's wearing. "He gave me a promise ring," Kitty says, smiling warmly to Jason. "It belonged to Mr. Wayne's mother. He wanted Jason to have it for me," she says. "And my mother gave him her blessing, and my father's too. He's in Genosha so couldn't come, but talked to her before hand," Kitty says.

Kitty takes a sip of her smoothie, smiling at the taste and then setting the glass down. The ceiling fan sends a nice, cool breeze across them, and outside they can hear the soft calls of sea gulls above the sound of the gently breaking waves on a nearby beach. "Well, I figure some nights I'll have to stay late enough I won't really be able to make it to Gotham. So this will let me stay overnight close to Stark Tower," she tells him. "But... maybe two or three nights a week here? A couple of nights at the school, and then a couple of nights in Gotham. I don't know exactly how it'll break out. Other than, I plan to be at the brownstone a lot," she tells Jason.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Is a promise ring like a really old timey way to say engagement ring Kitty?" she pulls her phone out starting to google it now "Ooh.. it is a pre-engagement ring.. that... is fascinating.... huh." she keeps typing on her phone now though and then lifts it up snapping a photo of Kitty's ring and her hand.

"Also damn Kitkat.. don't burn out... we need you firing on all cylindars mentally now."

Red Hood has posed:
"I guess I'm gonna have to come into town more often." Jason offers with a small chuckle as Kitty shows off her ring, and he shakes his head in mild amusement. "Well, I believe there is an old song lyric about putting a ring on it? It may be a while yet before we get there.. but I wanted to go ahead and secure my intentions now."

There's a squeeze of Kitty's hand. "And I agree. If you need to take some time off.. or you know, you can't come over some night, Kitty, I'd understand."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde smiles to Ellie and gives a warm laugh. "Right, it's a sign that you're serious. But not ready yet for a proposal. Which, I think sums up where we are," Kitty says, looking to Jason. "I think our hearts are in the same place. But we also are smart enough to take our time. This has been a whirlwind in some ways. Though at the same time, I feel like we've been together forever sometimes," Kitty says.

She looks back to Ellie to grin. "Well, I'll try not to burn out. There's so much to be done though. I'm just grateful for a job where they understand the complexity of my life. I revealed my identity to the Avengers, Ellie. So Mr. Stark knows, and they know I will have to spend some time dealing with the things that come along. Werewolves in Gotham. Or, the magic creatures that need dealing with." She looks back to Jason. "I don't think I'll often need a night of from you though. But thank you," she says, smiling to him.

Kitty looks to Ellie and asks, "By the way, how are classes coming? Any idea what you want to do then once you graduate? College getting any consideration?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie squints at her friend. "Well we have the giant robot problem that should be absolutely the number one priority problem right now.... to be fair."

The college question surprises her and she smiles a bit there "I am not sure.. I mean yes college sure... major though.. don't know. Maybe engineering .. computer or electrical."

Red Hood has posed:
"The Sentinels." Jason says. He knows of that problem. "There is a push to have them banned from the airspace of Gotham altogether." he says with a rumbling noise. "There are enough issues in that city without adding them to the mix.. especially after those fucktards in the Friends of Humanity got their hands on them and Kitty was nearly..." he gives her a squeeze, in full supportive boyfriend mode.

"Hey, not everyone can have three degrees like you, Kitty." Jason points out to her. "I mean, I haven't had a lick of college, and I do alright. Though most of my work is in private security." he admits with a chuckle. "And if she can make things explode, she may have a career as Michael Bay's special effects expert."

Shadowcat has posed:
"Two," Kitty corrects Jason in a humble way as she leans her head against him. "I'm not sure if I'm going to finish up the astrophysics or not. It is going to depend on how things go at Stark. It would be nice to have? But at this point I probably stand to learn far more working there. And really, learning is what drives me in the long run."

Kitty smiles over to Ellie and says, "I think any of those would be great. I saw how well you were working with that drone. I can't help with engineering, but if you want a letter of recommendation anywhere for computers, let me know," Kitty suggests.

She smiles to Jason. "You do very well, I agree," she tells him. "And Michael Bay would be lucky to have Ellie. Actually I wouldn't trust him with her. She's far too lethal. He'd probably get her to blow up the whole movie studio, egging her on," Kitty says. Though the grin she gives Ellie is more one of respect for Ellie's power than it is casting any doubt on her ability to control it.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I'm thinking Computer engineering.. still hardaware.. has a solid electrical engineering base sort of best of computers and electrical engineering." it is also one of the hardest degrees out there.

"I'd feel really bad blowing up Hollywood..." is mused by Ellie. "I do actually really enjoy quite a few genres... if I could blow up just romantic comedies then maybe..."

Red Hood has posed:
"...you'd break Kitty's heart." Jason finishes the thought for Ellie, and grins over at her, before he shrugs his shoulders. "Just remember, only people require the proof of a piece of paper that you know what you claim to know. It's on you to prove it." he points out.

His atention turns back to Kitty and presses a kiss to her cheek. "I should start getting ready for work." Even after last night and the events with the subway, he seems ready to push himself to head back out.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde breaks out in warm laughter at Ellie's comment. "But I liked Shakespeare In Love," Kitty complains to Ellie. She takes another long sip of her smoothie and then gets a sudden, worried look. "Wait," Kitty says, sitting up in alarm.

What is it? Hydra goons attacking? Brood sleazoids invading Earth? The Serpent Society assaulting some financial institution? No no, far worse.

Kitty puts a hand to her head. "Brain freeze," she says with a groan, wincing.

After a few long seconds it passes. "Ok, better," she tells them. "Well, I can help with a recommendation letter for that, definitely," Kitty says. She's as good at building the damn things as she is at programming them.

Kitty looks over to Jason and says, "Want me to maybe come by? I know you don't need me on your rounds, but... well, you know. Vampires and werewolves around, don't know why they'd target anywhere you work with, but... an extra pair of hands?" she offers.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"RomComs are a crime against Nature KitKat..." Ellie seems gravely serious about that fact, like it is without question.

Then Ellie goes still when Kitty sits up with alarm .. she picks a pillow at the announcement of Brain Freeze and thwaps her with it solidly. "If I don't stay and do it from the school.. but yeeah I appreciate it Kitkat."

"Rounds?" she peers at Jason an then at Kitty "Isn't it late to go to work.... ?"

Red Hood has posed:
What is it, Kitty, did Timmy fall down in a well? Fine, Jason can't say that out loud. But that sounds good in his head. "While I have access to billionaire playboy funds, Ellie, I do work for a living. I have a security firm, and I tend to work late nights. That said, no Kitty. But you're welcome to come home with me and stay?" he asks her hopefully.

"Though I definetly do plan to come back here and have.. plans for this room." Probably too much info for poor Ellie.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde grins to Ellie at the pillow whap, letting it hit rather than phasing to avoid it. Kitty doesn't add to what Jason says about earning his own way, she just shines a very approving look at him for it. And Kitty gets a soft laugh at the mention of things that might be done with the room. Her own cheeks seem to flush just a little bit for some reason. Though she too doesn't go into it, Ellie is a teenager at the school after all.

"Let me go ahead and drive Ellie back to school, and then I'll come over to Gotham," Kitty agrees to Jason. "And I'll be there when you finish up," she says.

She wants to go with him. Especially after last night. But she respects his wishes on the matter.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Ugn..." she takes another thwap there with the pillow tryng to catch Kitkat sometime when she isn't phased out of reality like that. Especially after Jason's room comment. "Yeah have to get back ..bloody curfew.. god September can't come soon enough..."
