[for kitty] AUs Eat Brainz

[morally_cryptic]

[ooc: a long time ago in a state far away, shadowed_kat's mun and I created an alternate universe that we dragged into wherein somehow Kitty Pryde and Anakin Skywalker meet and fall for each other and...er, the rest is history. Some of that history can be found at au_eats_brains. Anyway, that was years ago, literally. We wanted to resurrect it. So we're starting anew with

She's scowling, as she slips through shadows and walls alike, watching carefully and doing her best--which is quite well--to not be seen in turn.

This is Emma's fault. Emma was the one who convinced Scott to reactive her, and Scott...

Well, Scott had told her that she was needed, and Kitty had yelled at him a lot before groaning and asking if her room still existed. With the rate they rebuilt the mansion, she wasn't sure.

But it's still Emma's fault, and the fact that she gave Kitty a piece of shit Skrull ship--and she knows Skrull ships, thank you very much, since someone had once downloaded most of their entire culture into her brain--that had--

She thinks, is the thing, that it's the equivalent of a flat tire, something that should be easy to fix so she can get back to the right side of the universe instead of being stuck on the far side and only able to travel system by system

[ahahaha, tis Kitty who's stuck this time. :)]

Things had seemed normal enough, though Anakin wasn't exactly on high alert. Well, normal enough until he came across something .... not so normal.

At first it was just a hint, a whisper of something in the Force, something that didn't quite fit. And being a curious sort, Anakin settled himself on following the "tip" he'd been given by the Force. So to speak.

As he drew closer, it became apparent that whatever -- er, whoever -- it was wasn't exactly happy. And...seemed to be walking right through walls?

He paused at the mouth of an alleyway, muttering, "that can't be right."

[Turnabout, fair play, the likelihood of EITHER of these two playing fairly utterly ignored, etc? :D]

You held out until the caffeine craving hit, you moron, silently fumes at herself.

She's trying not to phase more than necessary--because she doesn't know much about the tech here, and the material of the buildings...doesn't hurt like adamantium, but it's weird to phase through.

She's half in the wall anyway, crouched behind boxes. One movement and she's in either the building or the ground; move another way and she's launched at someone with hopefully something akin to the element of surprise.

I am not getting cuts where I can't even reach to treat them on my own. No. Thrice in one lifetime already was more than enough.

She can't really see the shape of the man, but she's listening. Very, very attentively.

It didn't feel like an ambush. But it was a conveniently apparently deserted alleyway.

Anakin sighed, shrugged, and pretended he couldn't imagine what Obi-Wan would be saying in this situation as he walked slowly down the alleyway, one hand not straying far from his lightsaber. Just in case.

Still...maaaaybe it couldn't hurt to give the benefit of the doubt. "Hello?"

Because that doesn't make you sound like an idiot. he scowled inwardly.
