Kitty Pryde Kitty's eyes shine at Peter at the support he shows, and at how he injects some humor back into the moment that brings out a smile, and a laugh. She lets out a soft, happy sigh as she looks back to Peter.

Kitty reaches her hand up to Peter's cheek, resting her fingers there and slowly caressing his skin as she gazes back into his eyes. "I love you, Peter Parker," she whispers to him quietly. "Love you. And.... care about you very much," she adds, making the last part come out quickly as she gives a warm little laugh. "You mean so much to me. And you've made me so happy. I can't imagine my life now without you in it."
Spider-Man There are things that, even if you already know it to be true, sound so good when someone says it out loud. Peter could wait a life time for a lot of things and be content, he knows how he feels and he was already pretty certain it was shared... but hearing it?

Pete takes a slow deep breath and stares up at Kitty through the hands on his cheeks, the smile on his face is soft, but the look in his eyes? Scream to the rush of endorphines thst signal the rapid pace of his heart speeding up.

His hands come up and lay atop Kitty's, one on either side of his face, eyes staring right up at her.

"I've never loved anyone so much in my life."

The usually verbose Peter Parker says it simply, leaning up to kiss her.

whispering aftrr the tender embracr, "My girlfriend is a ninja... my girlfriend is a ninja..." laughing as he does a forward snake writhing st her, "whose girlfriend is a ninja?"
Kitty Pryde Kitty breaks out into laughter and she slips her arms about Peter's shoulders to hug him so very tight. "Your last girlfriend was a ninja too as I recall it," Kitty says, laughing. "Or, well, actually I don't even know if that's true. She's sneaky but I'm not quite sure what her style is," she says.

She leans her head forehead in against Peter's. "But you're mine now, Peter Parker. No one else's. I love you, and I want to be with you," she tells him, sighing. Kitty closes her eyes. "And my boyfriend is a superhero. He's an Avenger, who has saved the city from I can't even guess how many bad guys," she says quietly. "Do you keep count? Like a scoreboard somewhere. Or maybe a... I don't know, what's the spider-equivalent of notches on a stock? Like... webs in a corner?" she teases.
Spider-Man "I... okay..." Pete started to protest the facts, but they are facts... so he furrows his brow thoughtfully and joins Kitty's laughing, albeit quietly, "I feel like her style is designer of some kind, but if I get the image of you and Betsy fighting off traditional ninjas using a dulche leather belt as a weapon, so help me...." He teases, then nuzzles in his forehead against Kitty's

"Forever and ever, Kits." He murmurs to her, His arms drop from her hsnds and snakr around her waist to hold her close. "Probationary Avenger ic we're being trchnical, but I have kicked a lot of bad guy ass..."

Does he keep score? Pete glances side to side with a conspiratory look to his eyes, "I call it the spiders-web... and its where all of us krrp tsbs on who we've brought down... right noe its mostly me and spider-gir.... uh Ghost Spider, but theres more now and the numbers will grow!"

"This close I came to making a Rita Repunzle joke..."
Kitty Pryde Kitty laughs softly. "The Spider-Web, hrm?" she asks. It seems to spark other thoughts. "So, ok I realize you might not be able to talk about this, so if so just feel free to say so. But the other spider heroes out there? Are also from genetically altered spiders? I mean is that like... is that a thing or is that just you?" Kitty asks curiously.

She considers a moment and says, "I haven't really kept score. It seems like we end up dealing with really weird stuff so often. As Negasonic once told me, our leaves are really strange. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that's gone on," she says, shaking her head.

Kitty motions over to where Lockheed is stretched out, lying on his back over the belly of the lime green stuffed bunny, body arched over it so his head and tail are both hanging straight down on opposite sides of it. "Or, you would. I mean. I have a space dragon."
Spider-Man "Oooh. laawwd lemme tell you..." Peter uses s made up preacher voice for a second, flopping backwards with his fingers laced together behind his head, "Okay, so...."

"There's actually four of us... I'll introduce you to thrm as we get the chsnce, but here's the genetic mutated spider rundown: Three different genetically mutated spiders bit four different people in the span of 9 years... onr of thr spiders bit two different people onr the SAME DAY.... we're talking a statistical anomoly likebhitting the lotter three times in a row playing the exact same lottery slip each time... it isnt improbably, its impossible and thats just thr tip of the iceburg..."

"three of those spiders bit people who went to high school together..." his hands come out from under his head to pantomime his brain exploding...

Still smiling up at Kitty, those hands fall down around her neck and shoulders, "All that craziness aside...." He leans the short distance to her and kisses her softly, tenderly, "I love you, Katherine Pryde." and that felt really amazing to say.
