Kitty had spent a significant amount of time before her arrival in space, gallivanting as Star-Lord and traveling the universe. Still, after you'd spent a few years fused to a bullet, the idea of space still made her queasy. She'd kill for Peter's helmet though. And maybe the jacket. What? It worked in space.
Her first thought though was to look around for Illyana. A morning person, she was not. Not until she got about three gallons of coffee in her, and who knew how long this would take. The speeches were given by holograms, but after they flickered to life, Kitty couldn't tell they were holograms at all. She also forgot they were until they were done and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as it was done, she got to her feet, phasing through tables and people alike so that she wasn't running into anyone as she looked for her wife.
