Maybe a bit of smacking things around might make Kitty feel better. Really, she was tired of life throwing curveballs. But if you hit the curve-balls you could at least have a little fun, and it wasn’t as though she didn’t enjoy a good fight.

She loved a good fight. She showed up with her Katana. It wasn’t as impressive as Dani’s sword.

“Nice sword.”

"Thanks. It showed up in my house one day."

Dani flicked the blade off to one side a bit to clear some of the alien goo off of it. Was it blood? Did you call technological creature goo blood? She had no idea. It probably didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The only thing that really mattered right then was pacing herself. Because there didn't seem like there was going to be much of an end to this in sight, "I ran out of arrows a few hours ago. If you see a spare rifle with some ammunition in it, let me know."

“I’ll send it your way.” Kitty edged around a bit, covering Dani’s back as she scanned the area around them. She hadn’t even bothered with the mask part of her costume. For the first time since the rescue mission she felt like she could face something like this. “Yeah, this was a good idea. A little old fashioned aggressive negotiations...”

"It's great therapy for anything that ails you, definitely," Dani agreed. She scanned the area that Kitty couldn't see from her vantage point. The two of them, with Kitty's phasing, could probably handle one of the big ones if it ran this way. She thought, anyway.

"I swear I want to be an executioner for a living. Chopping heads off is just so much more satisfying than my former day job was."

“Oh yeah. I’m so sure.” Kitty laughed. “But your arms would get really tired after awhile, don’t you think?”

Something rumbled in the distance.

"Well it kind of depends on how many heads I'd have to chop off a day, doesn't it?" Dani joked. She glanced in the direction of the rumbling noises, and squinted, "I think that's one of those big ones, coming this way."

“Sounds like fun.” Kitty spun her sword in the air. “Got a plan, boss?”

Dani thought through the skills they had available to them and nodded her head, "You can still disrupt electronics, right? These guys are mostly tech. So the plan is, I distract the big guy with my shiny sword and then you sneak up on him from behind and phase through him? You know, like a ninja or something."

“Works for me. Get all kinds of distracting and try not to get killed. Doom will cry. Do you wanna make a squirrel cry?” She darted off!

"Cry? You don't really know my squirrel very well, do you?" Dani snarked, while flipping her sword in her hand and putting her game face on.

It was really more likely that the squirrel would bitch out her dead body for up and dying on him like that. No more trail mix for him, oh the travesty! She snorted a bit, then started running towards the thing.

It was a pretty gutsy move, all things considered. Possibly even suicidal. It roared at her and swept its big arm out, and she dodged off to one side while whacking her sword rather uselessly against its armored shell, "Yeah? Roar at me some more. You're big and ugly and I don't like your attitude."

Kitty decided to ask Dani to tank for her in the future. It was super effective! The Brute charged after Dani with uncanny speed, and Kitty had to sprint to keep up. She lept into the air and disappeared inside of it. She popped out the other side as it spasmed and thrashed, then swung it’s arm hard.

Kitty was flung through a broken window.

"Oh shit," Dani shouted. The thing wasn't under any control at all now as it slid forward towards the ground, either, and she had to do some quick dodging to keep from being squashed, herself.

"STAY PHASED OR SOMETHING!" She called after Kitty. Hey, it was good advice, at least until she started sinking through the ground, right?

The juggernaut bitch Brute slowed to a stop, and then tumbled onto its side.

Kitty stumbled out of the window, rubbing the back of her head. “Son of a biscuit.”

"'Phase through the Brute, Kitty! Nothing can go wrong with this plan!'" Dani quoted herself, while shaking her head. She looked Kitty over, then wiped some sweat and dirt off her forehead.

“Can we get ice cream? I need ice cream and a shower,” Kitty remarked, leaning over and resting herself on her knees.

“I'm going to suggest we take that shower before we hit up the ice cream place." Dani remarked, eyebrows raised a bit.

She took in the sights around them and shook her head, "I hope this is over soon. It could be hours. Or days. Days is really going to suck."

“Come on, lets get back to my place. We’ll clean up there, eat, and then wait for word from Scott.” Because god knows what’s next.
