Saying 'goodbye'... (Departure)
So much had happened in this place. She'd fallen in love and he'd disappeared. There'd been an explosion, where many were injured and over a dozen had people had died. People who wouldn't be going home.
Kitty Pryde had packed her things and left them on the bed in her room. Wearing denim and a dazed expression, she wandered the Residence, hoping to say 'goodbye' to the friends she had made Here. So many of them were from completely different universes that it was very unlikely they would ever see one another again.
At least the mystery of the waitstaff had been solved: Skrulls. Kitty hated Skrulls. All done now, though. All gone and sorted.
All that was left was memories. She took pictures with her cell phone as she walked along, wanting to show the team where she'd been all this time.
After a lot of photographs had been taken, including a few of some obliging people she'd met here who smiled and posed, Kitty wandered back to her room, strapped on her backpack of clothing and such that she'd acquired here, and picked up a tote back of special foods she'd gotten from one of the restaurants, as a surprise for the team.
Thinking of Tim Hunter and hoping that, wherever he was, he was safe, and hoping that Lee and Kara continued their relationship when they got home - and that Layla and Lucas would be able to stay together when they left Here - Kitty touched the cube.
Seconds later, she was in the main lobby of Xavier's mansion, a startled group of students gaping at her. She grinned.
