It was one of those nights where Kitty couldn't sleep no matter what she did. For as busy as she was right now, sleep should have come easy but it was as elusive as ever. Deciding not to fight it and make herself frustrated any more, she grabbed her iPod, turned her laptop on so Terry would have noise, and walked through the wall and out into the hallway. Before sticking her earbuds in, she took a walk down the girls wing to make sure all was well. It was her duty, after all. When she was satisfied that the girls were all asleep and well, she turned on her music, stuck the earbuds in, and started for the stairs.
She wasn't even around the corner when the music stopped.
Kitty stopped as well and pulled the iPod from her pocket to look at it. Completely dead. How was that even possible? She'd just charged it. Maybe Theresa had been using it? But even so, unless she'd had it on all day it should have been fine for awhile. With a sigh, she pulled her earbuds out and started walking again. At the turn of the corner she realized something was wrong. The hair on her arms stood on end and a thrill of fear ran down her spine. She turned to look out the tall windows across from her room and gasped silently.
The reflection she was was not only her profile, but a wan coming up behind her. She went intangible quickly enough so that the shots fired went right through her. The glass shattered, disrupting the sound dampening with outside noise. Suddenly it felt like her sense of hearing was on overload. The dampener had released his hold as soon as the glass was broken. Kitty moved quickly, phasing through her attacker, then going solid as she spun around with a roundhouse kick. There were others in the hallway, going down further into the dorms. Thinking quickly, she grabbed the gun and smashed it into the shooters face. She then reached inside the machine to pull out a fistful of mechanics before sending it all out the window.
Running at top speed, she knew she had to try and protect the girls and get them to safety before anything else.
