A/N Goddess Foxfeather, Queen of Mad Plotbunnies, BUSIEST WOMAN ALIVE ™, Prophetic Muse, Hamster Witch and Uberbeta… It’s nap weather. InterNutter, TC, Maxwell Pink, Dracena and Greywolf are loverly and wondermous for archiving/hosting. J ProPhile: They really would have been terrible last words. Morgan: *stalks a tiny bit more * Readers/Reviewers: Okay, I’m going to have to update the archives in a block since my computer is still wonky. When I get it settled, I’ll fix the chunkage but tonight, it’s all going up in chunks.
“Did you ever know that you’re my hero?”
“Shut up.”
“You’re everything I wish I could be.”
“Bobby, I am so going to kick your ass…”
“You are the wind beneath my wings[1],” he said quickly, dancing back out of Kitty’s reach. “Oh, come ON,” he laughed, using Amara as a human shield rather ill-advisedly, “lighten up. This is going to be fine.”
“It was going to be fine when it was just Kitty and I,” Amara replied archly. “Now it’s turning into a circus. All we need is one of those odd bearded lady people Kurt told me about.” She barely put any effort into heating her skin beneath Bobby’s hands, but he yelped and jerked away, drawing a few odd stares in the midst of the food court.
“Look,” Kitty muttered sotto voce, “just be calm and normal, okay? The more you look like a fish out of water, the more likely you are to draw unwanted attention.” She jerked her ponytail into a semblance of neatness and nodded firmly at Bobby and Amara. “Okay, now, I’ll stay down at the far end of the courtyard, by the library, kay? You do what you need to do and scream if you get killed.”
Bobby raised a brow and a hand. “Uh, what? I thought we were reconning. That’s why I came…” He leaned in closer to the two girls, his own voice dropping conspiratorially. “I told you about my theory, didn’t I?”
“Yes,” both girls sighed. Kitty pinched his arm lightly and added, “Twice now. And honestly, I do get it but I just don’t think it’s a good idea to base our entire plan of attack, so to speak, on that, you know? Now…” She paused, her eyes widening slightly before she slid down into her plastic seat. “Oh, Hell.”
“What?” Amara’s head whipped around and she uttered a noise that sounded like ‘meep’ before ducking behind the pillar near the table, dragging Bobby with her. “What the Hell are they doing here?” she hissed to Kitty, still low in her chair.
“I don’t know! Registering for premed?” she spat back, trying to hide her face from Lance, Rogue and Todd. The large man with them was scanning the sparse crowd in the food court, his face set in a grim smile as he ushered the three teenagers forward, heading in a path that would take them just feet away from Kitty, Amara and Bobby. “Shit shit shit shit shit,” she muttered, sliding down so far in her seat that she slipped, hitting the floor with a gasp and a thud. Wincing, Kitty forced herself to sit still as the voices and footsteps neared. She could hear Bobby utter a muffled gasp himself, whatever words he was trying to say coming out a jumble, like he had something in his mouth. The four pairs of feet did not stop by their table, but it looked as if Lance slowed a bit. Soon enough, they were past and Kitty, craning her neck, saw the group go between some nearby tables, heading towards the door leading to the far end of the courtyard, away from the bonfire set up.
“WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?” Bobby shouted, recoiling around the pillar as Kitty emerged from under the table. “That was just uncalled for!”
Amara was wiping her lips delicately with a linen handkerchief she kept in her bosom, her brows drawn together in distaste. “It’s not as if it was a shining moment in my life, either,” she shot back. “Where did they go, Kitty?”
Kitty pointed silently past them towards the exit doors. “Did you kiss Bobby?” she asked, her voice somewhere between a laugh and a choking noise.
“Yes,” Bobby hissed. “Gah, I’m not hetero-phobic but ew!” He scrubbed at his lips one final time, giving the Nova Roman a baleful glare.
“It was to hide our faces,” Amara sighed, rolling her eyes. “Not all of us have Kitty’s adept hiding skills,” she added, arching a brow at her friend. “We’re going to have to split up,” she continued, veering off onto another tack. “Kitty, come with me and Bobby, you go ingratiate yourself with the males setting up the fire.”
“Uh, fuck no,” Bobby retorted. “Not only am I gay, I’m a mutant. You think that’s going to go over really well with these KKK wannabes?” He folded his arms, shaking his head vehemently. “We stay together for this. I want to know what they,” he nodded in the direction in which their friends had disappeared, “are doing with what looks like the chief cook and bottle washer of this whole shebang.”
“If we make ourselves known to them,” Kitty said slowly, “we might blow our cover, you know? These guys might not be all stupid. One of them is bound to have heard of the Institute or seen us on the news at some point…” She chewed her lower lip nervously, gazing out the large plate glass window that overlooked the courtyard. “But if we let them know we’re here, maybe that would help, you know? Six is better than three…”
“Unless,” Amara cut in, “you’re trying to be covert. Then more is not merrier.” She followed Kitty’s gaze out the window, frowning deeply. “Bobby, Kitty, you let them know you’re here. I’m going to do a little more…looking around.” She did not give them time to respond, peeling away from them and walking quickly through the food court, heading for the far exit that led to the biology wing.
Bobby let out a low whistle. “She’s crazier than usual, isn’t she?”
“Yeah,” Kitty replied on a sigh. “I think she’s taking me along with her. Come on.”
