For all her mean mugging and bravado she was certain that this wouldn't be easy. Drawing on what little she knew of how John fought, she was relatively certain that she'd be counting bruises tomorrow. And that was assuming he didn't just set her hair on fire and call it a day.
They hadn't exactly hashed out any rules or guidelines for this, but couldn't rule out him using his abilities just like she was using hers. Her smack talking could probably use a little work, though. Eyes narrowing at his comment, she cursed herself for blushing. "Oh please, I never said I didn't think you're hot." That was part of her current issue with him, she actually found him very attractive, and didn't know what to do about it.
The big problem she was having was that her fighting style was mostly defensive. Kitty was aces when it came to using a persons' body weight and momentum against them. She wasn't good at attacking without a weapon and her punches and kicks were more annoying than damaging. Thanks to her phasing abilities she was downright excellent at avoiding getting hit, but John had an idea of how her powers works so that advantage was somewhat negated.
"I'm touched, truly," Kitty replied with a small grin, her words genuine and not dripping with snark. "Before we get started, did you want to lay down some ground rules, or maybe find somewhere less public?" And with less available potential weapons than what the hallway was offering.
