Leo stared at the uniform in her lap, the navy and lilac contrast took her
breath away as she stared somewhat in awe at the suit. Spandex was a
little much, but when you spend your life up on a beam in lyrca, it wasn't
that big a deal. She touched the fabric, before looking up wide eyed at
the Professor. "You mean, I get to be-"
"One of the team?" He interrupted, finishing her sentence. She wasn't just
a trainee with the same old suit. She had something unique to show for
it.Just like the rest of them. "Yes. Aside from the outstanding bravery
you demonstrated last month when dealing with the Brotherhood, along side
the others, and again the month before that with your unexpected assignment
in the gym, you've shown outstanding progress with your mutations-" He
reached across setting his hand atop her own, squeezing it gently. Leo
spoke quietly.
"Oh, Professor, thankyou, thankyou so much, I-" she was cut off again, his
hand raising as a signal for her to calm down.
"this doesn't mean you shouldn't be mindful of changes to come, you're a
psion, Leo, and an untrained one, with little focus, can be deadly. I
don't want you, or anyone else hurt. This uniform doesn't mean you've
completed your training. Far from it. You just have more control, you
show potential, like the others." Leo nodded her head, picking up the
uniform, she looked at it once more. Grinning from ear to ear, before she
looked up at the Professor, moving to a stand. "Can I go try it on?"
"Of course you can."
Leo beamed, turning she pushed herself up from her seat, rushing toward the Professor, who looked more than a little surprised when she hugged him tightly. Only after a moment of shock, did he respond. Perhaps not a man of close contact, he seemed somewhat stiff. He called them his children and yet clearly, he'd never had any of his own, the awkward way in which he responded to affectionate gestures. "Thankyou, Professor." She spoke quietly, before breaking away, springing off into the foyer, and up the "Gone with the wind" staircase. She was calling at the top of her lungs. "Hey you guys!! You guys!!! Kurt! Kitty! Kyle!! Big news! Hey!! YOU GUYS!!" she was almost laughing, waving the uniform over head, she looked across the hallway, before a door opened, Kyle's head, covered in a baseball cap peeked out, raising his brows at Leo, before stepping out. "What's with the shouting?" Leo grinned, before unravelling the uniform, holding it up against her self she turned from left to right. "whoa, man.When'd you get that?"
Leo was grinning from ear to ear as she bounded toward Kyle, hopping about excitedly. "Today! The Prof gave it to me! Isn't this awesome??" She was damn near laughing, before she caught a figure emerging from the wall opposite. "Like, what's all the commotion-ohmyGod.Is that like, a uniform? Lemmie see!" She squealed in that girlie fashion that made Kyle noticeably wince as he stepped out into the hallway, hoarding around her, oogling the suit as Kitty snatched it away, holding it up to the light.
-=BAMF=-
"Kurt!" Shrieked kitty excitedly from the huddle in the middle of the corridor, waving the uniform around, he wasn't really looking at it, but rather, looking past her, watching with a twinge of jealousy, regret as Leo was swept up in a congratulatory hug by Kyle, swinging her round in a circle, she yelped, clinging tighter. That should be him, shouldn't it? He winced inwardly, his chest tightening as he watched the pair of them goof around. "Kurt? Like, helloooooo! Earth to Kurt! You're like, totally zoned out! Are you okay?" Kitty was waving something in front of his face, which he blinked and grabbed from her. He held it up, and Leo's voice hit his ears, or rather, bypassed his ears all together and entered his mind. ::Pretty neat, huh?:: "The professor just gave it to me, cool eh?"
Kurt paused, letting the uniform fall open. Oh yes, talk about fuelling a young boy's dreams.He liked this.It was very basic in shape, with a lilac mandarin collar, the front of the torso was lilac in colour, spreading and separating at the back to form a lilac 'X' upon a black background. Attached to the sleeve of the collar, only temporarily, was a small mask in dark blue, to go over her eyes, in a cat-like fashion. Kurt found himself grinning awkwardly at the uniform, only to have it snatched away from him by Kitty, who appeared to be trying to untangle Kyle from Leo, in order to congratulate her personally.
Suddenly, he piped up. "Congratulations, Leo.This calls for celebration, don't you think?" His tail lashed lightly from left to right, glancing toward her hopefully. Leo was beaming and nodding enthusiastically. "Definitely. But where?" Kyle eagerly volunteered.
"How about the joint? You know, the diner on the corner?"
"oh! You mean the one we like, go to every day after school?" Kitty quipped, folding her arms over her chest, as Kyle glowered at her, before imitating. "Like, do you have a better idea, Kitty-cat?" He almost sneered.
Leo took a few steps back, near to Kurt as she watched, turning her head to whisper as the pair bickered. "They won't be much fun if they bicker all day. C'mon." and before Kurt could protest, she'd boldly taken him by the hand, and was leading him down the staircase. She moved quickly, and Kurt willingly followed, not checking behind him to see if Kitty and Kyle had stopped bickering, he was concentrating too much on this small hand in his own, worrying that his fur might be matted, or dirty, itchy, or a little bit damp. For a moment, he forgot completely what they were doing when Leo hauled him out the front door, chattering like there was no tomorrow. "I can't get over this, this is so amazing! I'm one of you guys now, not just a trainee! Oh whoa.I love this, but do you think I'll cut it? Kurt? Hello? Something wrong?"
Kurt snapped his head up, looking at her, before blushing, and smiling that fanged grin of his. He turned on his image inducer, his fleshy self, blinking into view, Leo smiled faintly, watching him. There he was again.In all his glory. It made her heart flitter a little, before she cleared her throat, picking up her pace, they walked.
Leo beamed, turning she pushed herself up from her seat, rushing toward the Professor, who looked more than a little surprised when she hugged him tightly.
