Part 17
N/A: Amanda has no idea what she´s doing. Emma is not your friend nor ally. Fun fact, Emma is brunette but she dyes her hair.
Emma Frost is a gorgeous woman. And that´s something she knows and thrives for. Emma Frost is, as some machinist may not believe, an incredibly savvy woman in business, politics, and much more. She´s the president of Hellfire and is using the company to do good- Sebastian Shaw had some illegal ideas to gain more money and Emma was more than happy to provide evidence and get rid of him. If that happens someone else, well, Emma can count in this large group as well- and all and all, Emma Frost is a powerful woman and can be a powerful ally or enemy.
Kitty Pryde, though, is a lucky one. No one is dumb to challenge Ororo and expect to come victorious. Besides, Kitty Pryde shows no desire of being a model for longer.
Well, I´d not need to like her...
"Frost" her bodyguard Elektra Nachos begins walking closer to her ward. "Are you sure this is a good idea? Shaw may be arrested but many others would love to try to put a bullet into your brain" she responds peeved at such carelessness. "And I know, diamond form and telepathy, but, still...who says you´ll be the target? The enemy can shot a civil and the media will blame you" Elektra concludes and Emma is letting those words sinking in.
"Well, it wouldn´t be the first time. Elektra. I hate the new X-lady and if you hate an X-lady ...you´re automatically a bad guy. If I´m the bad guy, then I´ll do on my terms" Emma explains and takes heer Gucci glasses. "Besides, I´m not here to eat a mere sandwich. No, I´m here to bully that plain thing as much as I can"
"How going here means bullying to Kitty Pryde?"
"That was her favorite place, right? If her favorite place suddenly loves me more...that would be a nice gesture. And as I must add, I´m not touching on the single lock of hair from Miss Kitty Pryde." and her smug expression is victorious as Elektra shakes her head but follows along.
"I change my mind. You get to be way meaner when you´re back to be a brunette"
"I know darling"

Amanda Szardos watched a video about Kitty Pryde- in her mind, Kitty is too plain and dumb, and even if this interview on the small screen was recorded and is a bit old. It certainly didn´t stop Amanda from trash talk, Kitty- and decides to take control of her life. She dumps Alex and is shocked to see he agrees without hard feelings and has a next date set.
Well, whatever. I need to have my dog back. And I need allies.

To say Emma was pleased would be a lie. This place is not the usual 5 starts restaurant she used to go to. Yet, the fact her photo is bigger than Kitty´s own photo serves as poetic justice- She could do worse, but, she needs to play the game and find loopholes...no one wants to face Storm or Jean Grey and the red hair is not shy about her intense dislike towards Emma- Elektra is getting paid well, but, still doesn´t see the point in doing bullying with someone who clearly couldn´t care less.
Then she wields her blades and points to a blonde woman who wanted to come closer. "One more step and you´re dead" and as the others are muttering nervously and slowly leaving. Elektra adds begrudgingly. "I have a license to kill" and if she utters a magic word, people get a bit calmer- though some are slowly leaving- and Emma is looking up and down at the other and is not impressed. She lifts his hand and Elektra drops the blade.
"Is ok, Elektra is ok. Now you sure must want something. A proposition, huh? So, tell me, Amanda...the most pathetic woman in this world who lost a man to Kitty Pryde. So, tell me. What I can do for you?" the cynism is laced thick in Emma´s voice and Elektra would laugh if Amanda didn´t seem to truly believe in her words or chose to believe anyway.
"We have an enemy in common. Let´s ally. I want Kurt back"
"And I want to eat my sandwich in peace. If I was to help a delusional person...I would help Shaw, at least, his dreams are so pathetically easy. You? You boring me...now, please leave or I´ll make you fall in love with Quire"
And Amanda is not disturbed. "Don´t you want to get Kitty for what she has done?" And maybe this would be the question that would change the tides, however, Emma only furthers her cynism.
"Darling. What you do you think I dislike Kitty?" and Looking around she adds. "Darling, me and Kitty are different as night and day. All I want is to eat my sandwich in peace ...you´re the one talking about deals and revenge"
And Amanda points out how Emma blatantly mentioned how she hates Kitty Pryde- Amanda didn´t understand that Emma was blocking some parts of the conversation from the other's ears for her own convenience- and Amanda then uses her trump card. "I´m a witch. And I seek revenge. She stole my lover. And by the rules of witches...I have the right for blood"
People listen to this and are tweeting this line and recording.
"Ah, excuse me, are you a real witch?" a timid woman asked. "Like Scarlet Witch?" this question sour her mood, but, Amanda nods. "And Kitty Pryde stole your lover? So...are you really going to fight her?"
"Is my right as a witch"
And this became viral in seconds.

Kitty Pryde was doing some photo sessions. The idea was to incorporate the seven sins and since there´re only Kitty and Yana. Both revised to do each version of the sins. In the end, Yana´s photos are the winner- Kitty can´t complain as Yana really nailed all the poses- and once is all done. She saw Kurt coming towards her.
"Hey, more training?"
"No, not today. Unless you want"
"No, not today" she parrots him.
Kurt swallows and speaks again. "Look, about what happened in that party"
"I know...crazy ex!"
"You...don´t hate me?"
"I never did...and if that crazy ex of yours give you trouble ...please, let me know...I can kick her ass for you"
"Inversion of values here but thank you"
His phone and Kitty´s rings and they pick up to see one big headline.
AMANDA SZARDOS CHALLENGES KITTY PRYDE TO A WITCH FIGHT.
And Yana is the one to answer. "HOLY SHIT. Kitty, can I go in your place? Witch fights are awesome"
