characters: Kitty Pryde, OTA who'd be around.
setting: SHIELD Headquarters - Training room.
content: Nothing bad.
summary: Kitty is working out because that's fun to do.
At some point, she thought, she was going to go looking for an apartment. She had been living in one hotel after another since she came back, and having a job now pretty much confirmed that she would be staying. But New York City was an expensive place to live, and realistically...she didn't have the money right now to afford a place even remotely decent. And if she continued to pay for hotels, she wouldn't have any money at all. Frowning, Kitty forced her knee into the punching bag, and then transitioned into a series of kicks and punches. Muscles burning, she continued on for several more minutes with the intensive exercises before she gave herself a break.
"Hey," she grabbed her bottled water and approached a guy twirling around a bo staff. "Practice duel?" She gestured toward the fighting stick and he nodded, grabbing the second one propped on the wall and tossed it to her. Chugging down the rest of her water, Kitty tossed the bottle and followed him to a clear area on the training mat. Kitty practiced her strikes for a moment before getting into position across from her fighting partner. She focused on him, waiting to be given the subtle cue commencing the round. And then he nodded and started forward while Kitty did the very same, the impact of their staffs making their first contact ringing down to her hands.
