Kitty just had to remind herself that friends was better than nothing. "Good. Because I'd rather have you as my friend than not around at all." The diminutive mutant was always an honest person like that, even after all of this time. She didn't want to force him into something that he wasn't open to. The future him had been over Tina, the person sitting next to her, hadn't been stuck in the apocalypse long. At least he was alive.
"Good, that means you're pretty much set." Kitty didn't figure that Mike would want to acclimate himself to fighting. She didn't fight unless she had to, but she knew how. Kitty took Mike's hand when he offered it, pulling herself up. "Thanks." Letting go of his hand, Kitty found herself looking up at Mike. "It was nice seeing you." She forced a light smile, even though it was hard she knew she had to be doing the right thing.
