Who: John and Kitty.
What: Comforting each other.
Where: John's place.
When: After he see's Tony.
Rating: Low.

John found his way back and Squirtle didn't actually have to work hard. He was able to be take a break from being his portable fire extinguisher. While staggering through the town he looked to the little turtle. "Thanks big guy." John offered a weak smile. "You've been a real big help. When we get back, lets make sure we take real good care of Kitty, okay." His pokemon looked up at him and sounded off. "Squirtle!" Fucking weird all they said was variations of their own names, but this turtle was not only adorable but also super useful. He was grateful.

Then they were at the house. He was worried to see the shape Kitty was in.

Going through the door he called out. "Babe?" Despite knowing she was suppose to be here, he was almost immediately panicked he didn't see here right away. Shuffling into the house further until he saw her. Thank small blessings. She looked sick, and terrible. "There you are, beautiful." He smiled right at her, a weak smile despite himself being pale and incredibly sickly looking. John moved right for her and when to move into kiss her, his hand passed right through her. His eyes went wide as he looked at her. "No. No no no.." His voice was in a panic.

"Yes, that sounds perfect, maybe some snacks for the pets too." They were building up quite a little menagerie between them, with Lockheed and Kasai, and Squirtle. Kitty liked it - it wasn't the same kind of gathering she was used to with the mansion and the school, but she liked that they were pulling something together like this. Something that felt a little bit like family.

And now considering what was happening she couldn't be more glad for it. To have this with him and to be able to come to his house and lay with him and find a little bit of comfort when things felt so scary.

"Oh I know, I've known that for years." She promised him with a laugh and then moved just enough for him to move closer to her, fitting herself against him as best she could and smiled. "You're the only one I'd want to be miserable with too." She agreed, being here was strange and weird and it pulled her life in a direction she'd never imagined but she found that she was happy, in a way she didn't think she'd have ever been able to allow herself to be back home.

"If I start to phase try not to touch me," She warned after a quiet moment, as much as she just wanted to bask in the feeling of comfort she got from being near him she needed him to be safe too. "I don't want to suddenly go tangible while I'm phased through you."

Squirtle piped up almost offended at being called a pet. Truly, the little turtle had too much personality for it's own good. "Not you. You're obviously not just a pet." He glanced to Kitty with a shrug. "But you are right, they also need treats. Can't leave them hanging." This was a strange family, but it was now his. This was what he wanted in life, well at least now. But it was easy in this place. No anti-mutant movements.

Lounging some he let his eyes close. "Oh, I'm sure you're well aware." Truth. They had tangoed on occasion before their now fated meeting here. How things get weird, being here with a girl he was heads over heels for, possibly dying from a completely insane virus being content being miserable with. Speaking of such he felt a twinge with his abilities as a flame was pulled from somewhere in the house and splashed against the wall starting it on fire. Pyro opened one eye, as he watched Squirtle do his job and put the fire out. Good man.

John glanced at here with a smile as sickly and weak as it was. "Well, I much rather be in you, than you in me anyway." Now wasn't a time for sexual jokes? Shenanigans. It was always time. "Seriously, don't worry.." John smiled leaning on her some. "We'll make this." At least she would. He'd make sure of that.

Lockheed gave a little huff at her calling them pets as well, but Kitty just stroked his back gently and he grumbled softly to himself but didn't say anymore. "Everyone needs a treat is what I'm saying. If they're going to be hanging out with us, it'd be only fair." And she liked that they were with them, liked having Lockheed with her again, just as she liked the addition of their pokemon. It was the kind of life that truthfully Kitty never would have imagined for herself, being able to settle down enough for anything like this had felt out of reach, but here - there was very little stopping them.

Apart from the illness that was threatening everything they had been building of course.

"Completely aware," He'd reminded her of that from the very moment she'd arrived here in this place. So it had been no shock at all that he could still be a handful. But she found there was so much more to him as well when he was given the opportunity to show it. And Kitty loved that she was able to see these sides of him, the parts of him that were funny and goofy. The part that left her skin hot and eager, the parts that had her wanting to press in close and have him hold her until they were better once more. He was a complex man, so much more than she'd ever been able to see in the past.

She huffed softly when he smiled and made a joke of her warning. At least things didn't have to be quite so heavy, the last thing she wanted either one of them thinking about was somehow either one of them ending up skewered because she hadn't been paying attention. "I'm going to worry a little bit if that's all right with you."

Their pets were absolutely their little family. They had personalities to go with it. The little bastard children they acted like. Not that Pyro would disown any of them to start with. They were here to stay, that was for sure. Letting his eyes close again completely, John nodded. "Yes. You are right. Treats all around." Nothing was going to take this away. Not even some virus.

It was rude to think anything less of John. He always said he was quite dynamic and very complex. No one listened to him though! Of course, not many stopped to listen when he was engulfing areas in flames. Most people just screamed for him to stop, but that wasn't the point. The person he was absolutely happy to share these parts of himself with, was right here now. Kitty had been in a short time, see so many strange parts of him. It helped that he just didn't care anymore. Going through the death and virus the first time, just sort of left you not wanting to miss out on things.

There was a soft chuckle as Kitty huffed. "Shh." John waved a dismissive hand. "It's funny. I'm hilarious." His hand placed on her face as he patted her face. "Just close your eyes, and not worry." He then confirmed. "You're not going to stab me with your leg or anything. I trust you completely."
