Day 311 [Action/Open] [Video/Closed]
[Action \ Open]
[Kitty is standing in a clothing store in Sector 4, trying not to freak out. She doesn't understand how it's possible, but she woke up decidedly pregnant ~~or at least her reflection did.~~ Not so much that it looks like she's giving birth any second, but more than enough to know it's not just that burrito from last night.

Shockingly, the prison clothing store does not carry maternity wear, but she needs something to...hide it. Until she can figure this out.

And eventually she'll have to leave the store, so there might be some attempts at stealth mode getting back to the apartment. Is it safe to airwalk through tree limbs while pregnant? Watch out for occasional falling leaves when she solidifies for a break.]

[Voice \ Closed to Reid]
Reid, I... Um, sorry, wrong number. [Such a good cover when you say his name.]

[Video \ Closed to Ton and Alex]
[Keeping it nice and steady on just her face. No full body shots for you yet!] I think I might need a doctor.

	No, we didn't get into a fight and I would totally beat you up for taking her side. [No, she wouldn't.] But she's normal? Or normal for her anyway? She's not...pregnant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My morning is about to get really interesting if she is. ... Waaaaaiiiit a second, missy. I just connected the dots here. Elaborate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She draws a breath and readjusts the video for the DRAMATIC REVEAL OF........nothing. Well, it's her including her stomach which looks the same as it always has.] It's gotta be like half way through a pregnancy already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-17 03:01 am UTC (link)
	[Maybe she's panicking and overreacting. Or maybe she just doesn't know how babies work. Because either way he's not seeing it. He frowns, puzzled.] Look, why don't you come down to the clinic and I can take loser look? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-17 03:06 am UTC (link)
	[She sees that look and she's not sure what it means. But everything is confusing today, so she just nods.] On my way already. Don't tell anyone else, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-18 11:55 am UTC (link)
	Wouldn't dream of it. [After a quick, suspicious peek at Chuck to make sure this really isn't some weird pregnancy thing gong around he heads to the clinic, arriving a minute or two before she does.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She'll be at the clinic waiting with her totally flat, well toned stomach that she is totally not touching thoughtfully as he walks in. At least her shirt is on?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-20 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Hello friend who is acting like a lunitic today. Again, totally not seeing the whole pregnant thing but maybe she took some sort of home test and is freaking out and messing with her stomach as a result. It's the only explanation he can think of.] Alright, let's do some doctor stuff and see what's going on here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-21 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods.] Right, doctor stuff is good. [Facts are helpful. Except she's not sure what she's hoping for here? Truth aside, does she want to be pregnant or not?] Where do you want me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-21 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Somewhere I can stick needles in you and steal your blood. So anywhere, really. [He finds some gloves and equipment.] So why don't you tell me what's going on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-21 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	[She heads over to sit on a table. That works, right?] You don't see anything different about me, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-22 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	[He shakes his head, rolling up her sleeve and disinfecting a patch of her arm with an alcohol swab.] No, not really. Part of my confusion, interestingly enough. What am I missing here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	The part where I look very, very pregnant. I don't...know if I feel pregnant. [The mind is powerful, it can play tricks and sometimes today she's been sure walking is taking more effort and using the bathroom more often.] It's probably a trick of theirs. [The words come out a little dull.] I just thought I should see for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-22 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	[Pause on the syringe grabbing.] You don't look pregnant. And I don't mean that in the tactful way you use it on self-conscious pregnant women. You look normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Eyes down.] Yeah, just... Just check anyway, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-22 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. [He tries to stab her as nicely as possible with the needle. Somehow he's got a feeling this is the sort of situation that only has sad outcomes.] So wait, how come you see yourself looking pregnant and I don't? They're tricking one of us here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. I haven't seen anyone else who looked pregnant to me. No one else has mentioned waking up pregnant on the network, but maybe they wouldn't. I don't know what it is. [Except kind of painful—the feelings, not the shot. Physical pain is nothing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Once he's got the blood he starts fiddling around with some of the machines lining the clinic walls. It's different technology than he's used to but he's pretty sure this one checks hormone levels among other things so he gets the sample set up. Either it'll work or explode so either way he's happy.] To be fair I just glared surreptitiously a Chuck and then came here so that wasn't the most thorough detective work on my part.

	I ask if you're girlfriend is pregnant and you just glance? Brave man. [She looks over at him.] How long before you know something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-02-22 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Well it seemed like an odd conversation to start the morning with and anyway if she was I would be morally obligated to abandon you here and be with her so don't get all judgy on me. [He turns his attention back to the machine.] Give it a minute, it's running the scan now. [More seriously.] You're not really going to be okay with either answer here, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	No judgement. [She knows she won this round. She watches the machine as if it will make it go faster. Her eyes pull away from it to him before answering.] Probably not, but I'll deal. ...Did you ever want them? Kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Yeah, she totally did.]

As if you don't have enough to deal with.

Honestly? Never even thought about it before coming here. I just wanted to blow up as many Imperials as I could before one of them took me out. I guess I'm learning and growing and whatever here since that doesn't sound so appealing anymore. [Its like a beautiful after school special with spaceship explosions.] We've talked about it though. Chuck, obviously. I think it'd be nice, even if I would be a terrible influence on a child. What about you?

Awhile back when Piotr got hurt and he wasn't up for the full missions anymore. I wanted to leave the X-Men. Start a family of our own. [Even on a dying world. Maybe it was selfish. But she was so young and life was so short. She didn't want her whole life to be about death.] We went into teaching instead. Training the next generation. They were kind of like our kids. [Nevermind the part where some of them were nearly her age.]

Reid and I have talked about it. But... You know. These aren't even our real bodies. So this can't be anything real. I wasn't pregnant in that pod. [But she still doesn't sound convinced even though it's a pretty airtight case.]

	wraith_7 2015-02-22 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah well one day we'll make our daring escape and live out the rest of our lives as boring normal couples babysitting for each other. You can yell at me when I let your children explode things in the microwave. [Its a joke but kind of a sad one and he hurriedly turns away as the test results scroll across the screen.] Okay, it's getting the results. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	[Normally shouldn't bring up exploding things in the microwave. She taught Tyki to do that in their better days. But she has heavier things on her mind right now.] As long as it's your microwave. [She slides off the table, to get closer.] What's it say? [There's an arm wrapped around her stomach protectively.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
