#human kitty

Boa, in person, is nothing more than a gentle old lady, making Kitty remembering her own grandmother, none of them is scary at any level. Boa takes Meggan´s hand and reads her future.

“You will be married to a man you love deeply, it will be a good a good live, two kids, a nice house, the man will be sick in a few years and things will get tougher but you´ll found a way to care for them. Your love will change the lives of many people” Boa explained and when Meggan asked who the man´s name is the old lady smiles “Brian Braddock, congratulations, Gloriana. Your future will be lovely”

Meggan is overjoyed. In fact, it prompts Kitty to ask to have her own future reading, when Boa takes her hand the woman immediately takes out as it scorched the woman´s skin. That wasn´t expected.

“You…you will have his eyes, all of his eyes are under you, he knows, he always knows,  chaos and darkness will follow you as not even death dares to take you, he sees, he knows and you can´t escape him” the woman speaks in a frightened tone.

Kitty and Meggan leave with a bitter taste in their mouth. Meggan´s future is wonderful, yet, Kitty´s future is …cryptal to say the least.

“Oh, nevermind, she was just trying to scare us,” Kitty said. Meggan nods trying to agree with her thinking but Boa was never wrong before._________________________________________

Kitty is an X-men, so, of course, the woman is used to her own share of bizarre events, yet, Kitty has to admit, lately everything is way off than usual. Jubilee becomes a vampire thanks to kitty´s blood(it was black for a moment and then is normal), Beast becomes crazy over spirals almost going too far in this obsession (Kitty doubts any student will feel safer with Hank again), Wolverine becomes a literal animal…that is always looking at the shadows in fear and Jean…Kitty prefers to not think about the horrid woman, maybe it was karma finally giving the woman a payback.

Thinking about Karma, Kitty takes her cell phone and text Karma, Xian and the other New Mutants have a sort of book club where they relax and make fun of the most atrocious books ever.

The world won´t be perfect, that´s a given, prejudice lurks around in several forms, but, mutants are allowed in many places and Kitty is in a coffee shop where the staff is made by mutants(she asked them if they are being treated alright and they confirm that) and no one has any objection to the mutants working.

Kitty text Xian.

“Hey, the book club is still up? Kitty asked

"Sure, by the way, the new book we will talk is a bit different from our usual session” Xian replied with a few emojis.

“Oh, is erotic?”

“No” Xian replied and send a picture of the book provokes to Kitty jump of her chair, no one seems to care, this coffee shop has few clients today.

“Xian, why this book?” Kitty asked.

“I saw and…thought in to give to you, ” Kitty ponders in to tell the rumours of the book, yet, Xian continues “it was a gift to you”

“Thank you, Xian, but this book has  bad fame, where did you get it?”

“I don´t know, I was walking with my brother and when I realize the book was already in my plastic bag wrapped nicely to you”

One of the mutants, a green man, is pouring more coffee for a man wearing a suit that is reading the newspaper, no one is looking at Kitty….the woman can feel eyes on her.

The woman leaves the coffee shop._____________________________Yana arrives in the New Mutant´s headquarters and looks at the book, Kitty is holding the book for her own life. Karma explained once again how she got the book, it was easy to deduce that the woman was not possessed, but, persuade in a way that no one saw this before.

It was sort like Killgrave, but, it was so natural…it scares Xian as her twin brother, Tran, made a scan on her to see if she is being controlled. No, she is free. There´s no trace of manipulation left(unlike Killgrave)

“And the book?” Kitty still holding the book dearly contrasting her horror expression.

Magik look at the book and immediately avert her eyes.

“The legends don´t come close to the truth, Katya, this is not a normal book, nor a mere evil book….is much more” Magik then use a spell to violently yank the book out Kitty´s hand(it bruises her hand a little but Kitty is not caring) and put the book in a bubble as slowly darkness surround the space of that bubble.

“Katya….the book…it has eyes on you,” Magik said and Kitty remembers Boa´s words but shakes her head at this, no, Boa is just an eccentric old lady, right?

“What we do?”

“Nothing, for the love of God, no one enters in this room, nor even look at this book, I think I know what this is …but I hope I´m wrong,” Magik said and leaves the New Mutants plus Kitty with more questions.

It has eyes on you.________________________________Kitty´s dream are often too lucid, sometimes making the dreams being amusing, other times, make the dream being anything but pleasant. Tonight, the dream is odd and very lucid.

A man in a white suit is in the centre of the large table, the said table has a perfect set tea party that any little girl would love. Kitty looks at the man and somehow she feels compelled to run…but nothing happens.

“Is you, isn´t it?” Kitty asked.

The creature only smiles with sharp teeth.

“Is you?” Kitty asked again.

“Eat something, then we talk,” the creature said amusingly.

Kitty is about to refuse when she, without realizing, already give a big bite on a red apple. The woman wakes up confused and scared.____________________________________Kitty is hardly someone that likes to jog, but, after the last dream, the woman can´t stay in bed. The park is empty, actually, since when this little park was so big and dark? Is her mind playing tricks on her, she was sure the park was smaller.

Bumping in a man is never a good signal for Kitty as she was expecting the man to be furious, instead, the man with dark hair and white streaks seems to not mind.

“Is a bit too earlier to jog or maybe I´m mistaken” the man gives his name and Kitty realizes how is good to talk with someone in this big(?) park.

“I like to run” Kitty jokes as they talk idly. The man likes to feed the birds and Kitty only nods, nothing unusual for this park.

“Bad dreams?” the man asked politely.

“Odd dreams, what eat an apple could mean?”

“Acceptance, at least, that was I have been told, I could be mistaken” the man replied and Kitty nods politely, she then is about to leave when the man gives another advice “don´t stop thinking about it, if you want to know about this dream…then keep thinking about and eventually you will know” the man said pleasant and Kitty only nods politely.

When she starts jogging again, she notices something, the man said he wanted to feed the birds…but Kitty saw no bird food with him, and as she looks around the park looks bigger and different by each minute.

“Maybe I´m in the wrong park”______________________________“I know it´s you” Kitty points at the blue fuzzy man wearing a white suit, another lucid dream “Stop, why are you doing this?”

“Because I got my eyes on you, Katzchen, and you are worthy” the creature speaks happily.

“Of what?”

“Of getting your deepest wish, I´ll grant it”

Kitty wakes up sweating again. She mutters that is only a dream, but, when a student complains of getting bruises in his back prompts Kitty to take care of…she takes a huge shock.

Is not a dream anymore. Is written in the Student´s flesh.____________________________________________Magik is back with bad news, well, the woman didn´t need to try to hide as the X-men are mutating into something that sure is not part of the grand speech Magneto is always giving.

Scott and Rogue are intact by sheer luck. Ororo did leave the X-men(it was a suggestion made by Kitty, something is wrong here and if Ororo has the chance to leave, she should go…Ororo invite Kitty to go with her, but…Kitty declines as IT HAS EYES ON HER)

“Katya” Magik speaks looking at the sky, there´s a moon now, but…is still day, Magik is pale now. “I know what is causing this…but I don´t think we can defeat him, the best case scenario is put wards and hope for him to get bored”

Magik offer no other explanation as she created wards blocking the moon, which is now red, as the wards are ready the place turns into a hellish dimension. If even Illyana is scared, then, the situation is bad.

“Belasco talks about him” Yana speaks"he has many names but we never dare to say the name so freely"

“I know…I know it´s him” Kitty revealed as the book is back with Kitty “and I know what he wants” she hugs Yana as another golden moon shows up.“Sorry”

She said running away from the wards.

“I´m here, you won, just please, leave them alone, is me you want, right?” Kitty shouts to the moons, yet, something lightly touches her shoulder.

“Of course, I want you, but I admit, it was a fun mess with you X-men” the creature speaks and seems pleased that Kitty is with the book “Good, you take it back, it was really rude not to use my gift, but, I forgive you, no one ever gives you such gift”

“Gift?” Kitty´ll hardly think this book as a gift but better not anger the monster “Are you going to eat me here now or later?”

“Is that a sexual innuendo? Well, I´m a bit shy to do this in front of an audience but if you prefer”

“Stop joking, just ends this already”

“I want you! only that” a tentacle wrapped around her waist gentle “and I think you humans prefer a more direct approach, here I´m, now Katzchen, I said I´ll make your dream come true, you want to see more of life, I can show you.”

“All I have to do is saying your name?”

“Yes”

Kitty now looks at the X-men then to the entity in front of her.
