Part 6
N/A: Something filler to pass the time.
"Uhm, this my dress?" Kitty asked looking up and down to the said dress and hopes she´s sounding too bratty-no matter your age, you can always sound bratty and Kitty learned this on the harder way in the past-and Jean nods patiently as she explains the session once more.
"The forever 21 sponsors us. The money made by this partnership resulted to help mutants and humans in the shelter" Jean states and Kitty now looks at Jean again in the total conjecture of this situation being new to her.
"Wait, the mutants and humans in the shelter? I thought..." she looks a bit ashamed here but blurted heer opinion anyway. "it was all about looking pretty and nothing more" and Jean hummed easily lost in her thoughts for a moment. What a telepath could hide from the others?
"Though we´re shallow people who drink champagne and ignore the cries of our brothers?" Jean looks away from Kitty´s curious gaze again. "My family was the victim of mutant envy, however, as much the law punished them...it cost my mother and I could be angry. I could use my powers to get revenge..but that wouldn´t bring my mother back, so, I use my influence to help those who are mutant or even are in a less favorable situation to never pass for this situation again" Jean concludes playing with the ring in her hand and she looks sad again. "sometimes...I think I was lucky because there´re worse things mutant envy can do..."
Jean sniffs for a moment blaming her allergies and leave the room. Jubilee is the one ordinating the session. And to Kitty surprises, Ororo Monroe is there to take pictures-and she´s not wearing the glamorous dresses from the cover- and has a warm smile on her face.
"Kitty, are you ready?" there´s patient in her tone and Kitty can´t lie as she shakes her head saying nervously how she is afraid of messing things up and Ororo assured her it won´t happen.
"Me and Jubilee are here to help, remember? Trust on us...no X-lady will mess up. I promise you"
"Ok, so...which emotion should I convey?"
"Nothing, just think of your favorite memory and let the rest with us" Ororo promised and Kitty thinks for a moment recalling the time she discovers she was a mutant and how it was exciting and scary and fun at the same time.
Meanwhile, Jean is outside the room giving a call to one person in particular- no Emma Frost in the sight as she was called to do a photo session for Vogue- and Jean waits until the said person answers the phone.
"Hi, Scott..."
"I felt...you were thinking about my family´s story again"
"Can´t help...a new member sort makes me go there...did you felt?"
"Jean, I´m not a little boy anymore...I´m not going to cry over the fact my father abandoned me."
"Is just...the Shiars called me...Scott, your father will be arriving on Earth"
"I know...I know, and yes he wants to meet Rachel...am I not petty or unreasonable for not want Ray to meet him?"
"No, I´d not like him...and he´s your father. At the same time, I worry for Rachel and don´t want people to put ideas in her head about her other relatives"
"Yeah...ok, so...we must talk with Rachel about Maddy and my father, cool times. By the way, tonight we´ll eat real food...not pizza Jean"
"Damn!"
_________________________________________________________________________________________
On the shelters, is possible to see many mutants and humans who lost their homes from the purist groups and other groups who envy mutants- and nothing in life is a paradise, even if the media loves mutants, not everyone abides by this rule- and the shelters are sanctuaries for those who lost their lives, figuratively speaking, to the ignorance of those groups.
Cap Marvel is ever-present and helping the few Skrulls who seek sanctuary and wanting to be free from the war. So far, the shelters are working and those alternatives communities are living their lives in peace- of course, many people from several backgrounds help in keeping the communities safe- and at this very moment, a man who resembles Cary Grant is helping in the kitchen.
3 kids enter the kitchen asking what they will eat for lunch and the man, along with the other volunteers are ready to give the menu, however, it is cut short when Logan "Wolverine" enters the kitchen and makes some jokes about the choice of the menu.
"No wonder the kid would prefer to eat bug" Logan joke and the man who resembles Cary Grant. "Hey, Kurt, can I talk with you for a moment?" and Kurt goes saying the menu won´t be changed.
Once away from the kids and the others´ volunteer eyes. Kurt and Logan are speaking frankly. "Elf, I want to say sorry for the other day...I was angry and I shouldn´t have taken out on you" he looks grumpy and is an amusing sight to see. "My point is...for a model you´re very useful for the team and if it wasn´t for you...we wouldn´t find those missing mutants"
"You´re welcome" Kurt still remain using his disguise. "I won´t change the menu"
"Come on! Your food is horrible...and no one can even pronounce"
Kurt gives an evil stare. "Now you´ll get a big portion" and his cellphone rings a notification. "Oh, the new photos! Rogue is excited ...she loves to look at the new members and compare old stories"
Kurt is watching the photos of the members for a moment until someone is calling him from the kitchen, sadly, Kurt missed the part of a certain woman smiling for the camera and wearing a pink dress.
