"You're front-loading the queue," Kitty drawled blandly in St. John Allerdyce's direction.

She had taken over the IT requests board on Scott's behalf three weeks ago, and since that time, not only had she rescued Hank's computer from his negligent defragging ways and convinced Ororo that threatening any kind of electronic machinery with iminent electrical destruction was just. not. healthy., but she had also become burdened with the most technically-challenged individual on the face of the earth. He had to be.

St. John flicked open his lighter and snapped it shut deliberately. He knew she hated that sound. (One of the disadvantages to sitting in front of him in English class, besides wondering every second if flames would come crawling up her back, was that he knew every single thing that irritated her enough to break her focus ( ... )

Thank you, sweetie! I was so good. I didn't edit this a wink. So I was kinda worried about it. :grins:

*SQUEE* Omg this was so cute!! Very in character, a plausible storyline. I always forget about Kitty's affinity with technology. I loved it! I also like the way Kitty referred to him as St John. Nice nod to the comics there :P Not everyone bothers with that part lol. Well done :D

Thanks for sharing, too! I'm going to check out the drabbles now :P

(and yes. I have icons now!)

I never got to see more than the first movie (it's amazing what solid researching can do), so I relied heavily on pulling data from comics in addition to movieverse. Besides, I hate adding OC/situations when there's such a rich canon to draw from.

And I do love Kitty's technical brilliance. It's so fun to play with. :grins:
