The Jean Grey School- Tuesday night
Not that every day wasn't sort of a disaster anymore, but today it seemed that the X-Men were facing off against the Phoenix, and Kitty was still here, running a school while it went down. They had taken in the kids from Utopia, who had just been over at the Avengers Academy, Paige had just quit today so they were down yet another teacher, and not only had Kitty had it, but she figured the kids had, too.
So, she threw an impromptu dance, right in the middle of the week, because screw it, depending on how this fight went and whether the Phoenix up and ended the world, tomorrow could be very bad. If there even was a tomorrow.
The Stepford Cuckoos had volunteered to watch Cerebra, monitoring the lights to see how the battle was going and to provide a mental link if necessary. But inside the school, the kids didn't have to worry about any of it for a while.
However, Kitty had to keep checking on things, and finally she excused herself to find the girls, still in her dress from the dance. "All right. I can't stand it anymore," she said. "There's fire in the sky and rumbles in the ground. Is this it? Is the world ending?"
"She did it, Mrs. Pryde," said Celeste.
"Hope did it," said Phoebe, stunned. "She saved us. She saved the whole world."
"She dissipated the Phoenix," said Mindee. "She broke it apart and sent it away."
"New lights. New lights on Cerebra. That means..."
"That means somewhere out there, right now as we speak, there are new mutants being born."
It'd been a year and a half since M-Day, and Kitty had always sort of feared that it would never be fixed, that her entire race was going to die out with most of the world never knowing why, and... it wasn't going to go that way. She was actually shaking a little as she watched the new lights pop up all around the world in front of them. Before she knew it, she was pulling the girls into a group hug that they seemed to need just as much as she did.
And then one of them said, "The Professor..."
[And that much-shortened catchup is over. Taken from Wolverine and the X-Men #18, and now for Clint!]
