"Is the newbie awake yet Scott?" A gorgeous red head opened the door to admit the young mutant into her room. She grinned at her boyfriend and allowed his lips to press against hers as a greeting.
"Like, eww!" An energetic young brunette rolled her eyes as she peeked up from a history text just in time to see the lip lock.
"Oh shush Kitty, one day you'll like it too." Scott grinned and sat next to the girl as she flipped a page and glared up at him when he noogied her head.
"Scott!" she pulled away and sat up to fix her ponytail. "Jean!" she whined, "make him leave me alone!"
"Scott... come one, tell me, is she awake?" Jean placed her hands on Scotts cheeks, making him look up at her.
"The wild thing is awake and growling." He confirmed, wrapping one of her hands in his own.
"Like, Cool!" Kitty giggled and winked, "I'll see you later!" The book flipped closed as the girl phased through the wall to her own room on the other side. She then phased through the floor to fall gracefully to the space just on the other side of the Profs office door.
"Hey, half-pint?" the deep, almost growling voice above the girls head had her jumping in shock. "Watch where you're go'in."
"Oh! Sorry Mr. Logan!" she giggled and pulled her hand out of his stomach. "I just wanted to meet the new girl."
/Kitty?/
"Coming Professor!" she skipped through the door and smiled at the wide green eyes watching her with awe. "Hi! I'm Shadowcat!" she winked, "But mostly people call me Kitty."
"Thanks for coming Kitty." The Professor said dryly, well aware the girl would have been determined to be the first to meet Shiva anyway. "Logan." He nodded as the large man entered the room by opening the door first. Shiva immediately smelled the blood on him and shrank behind the Professors chair.
"What's up Chuck?" his nose immediately sniffed the fear coming from the young girl, and he relaxed his shoulders and sat down to try to appear less threatening than he normally did. "Relax kid, I don't eat cats."
"Yeah! He's, like, totally house trained!" Kitty giggled at the growl that exited Logan's lips. Shiva smiled shyly and inched out from behind the Profs chair. "Oh wow!" Kitty exclaimed, "You're fuzzy like Kurt!"
"Fuzzy?" Shiva rose an eyebrow and crawled over to the couch across from Logan's seat.
"Yeah, but he's, like, blue too." Kitty cocked her head and grinned. Her eyes sparkled as she smacked a wad of bubblegum into submission. "Hey Professor?"
"Yes Kitty?" Xavier folded his hands together and was once again reminded how Kitty was such a wonderful person as she asked,
"Do you think she could stay with Rogue and me? I mean, I know things are a bit hectic with the new mutants around, and I don't think Rogue would mind." She shrugged, "Too much."
"Shiva?"
"Could I Professor?" Shiva grinned up at him and purred when he gave into temptation and scratched behind a feline pointed ear.
"I don't see why not." He agreed, and let Kitty take charge.
"Awesome! Come on Shiva! I'll show you everything!" Shiva's hand was barely in Kitty's before the young brunette dragged the new girl to her feet, and out the door, once again omitting the handle. Logan smirked as the cat girl yipped on the other side.
"So... you anticipating any trouble with this one Chuck?" He got to his feet and walked to one of the wide windows over looking the spacious grounds of the mansion, and watched a few kids playing basketball in the court. He grinned as one of them fell, duplicating into others in shock. Five of the same kid sat on the ground blinking identical near sighted eyes before falling back in on the original. A tall black teen, his hair bleached blond, helped the younger boy to his feet before snagging the ball and shooting it directly to the basket. A teen with ice blue eyes shot an ice pick from his forefinger and knocked the ball off course. Logan could almost hear the debate over powerless basketball versus "new ball" as it had been dubbed. Spyke was just as annoyed that the powerless rule had been ignored, as he was about his shot being knocked off course by Bobby, the "ice man".
"No more than usual, though I am debating whether her mother should be contacted. It seems she was kicked out when her powers were revealed... these are the tricky ones."
"Poor kid." Logan muttered. He did feel a little bond with the cat girl, almost immediately her eyes had conveyed the ease of a natural hunter, something the wolf himself recognized as dangerous and intriguing.
"Just keep an eye on her, as the rest will be doing. I'm sure if she needs your help, Logan, you'll know it."
