So, You're Back? || Bobby and Kitty
Bobby walked down the stairs of the X-Mansion to the foyer, made a left down the corridor towards the kitchen and opened the fridge.
As he perused the rather dull selection they had (Who bought this cheese? Scott?) he realized that nothing would really satiate his appetite. So, he started looking through the cabinets and cupboards, with turned out with less appetizing snacks and dry foods; (Who the heck gets coconut pastries? I live with monkeys.) He turned to the pantry.
...Which looked like it had been raided by the students because everything was gone. Even Bobby's precious Oreos had disappeared. It was a sad day in the X-Mansion.
"Why is there no good food on this goddamn campus?!?"
Bobby turned around, moved quickly from the kitchen back to the foyer. He looked up at the stairs and saw-- No way.
Why was she here? She was supposed to be at school, away from here. She didn't have to worry about saving the world, not about the team. Not about him.
Then it all came back: her leaving, a rushed goodbye, words he didn't mean to say, and then that kiss. Dumb idea at the time that he had still regretted. It wasn't the last impression he had wanted to leave on her before she left for University.
Though, there she was. Kitty Pryde, Shadowcat, mutant with the power to become intangible. Bobby wanted to say hello, ask her how she was doing, but he didn't know even how she would look at him. Would she be excited? Scared? Pissed off? He had absolutely no idea.
However, the only way to find out, was to try.
"What did you do? Phase through the roof and just not tell anyone you came back? I find that not very prideful of you, Kitty-Kat."
