Kitty hadn't really thought on where she was going...she had some drop her off and she just went for a walk. After all what was the point of training even more? She was already near the peak of her level. She could burst through the ceiling...but right now she was nearing her peak.
With the headphones from her iPod in place Kitty continued to walk and a defined pace...that would switch ever three minutes or so...her music dictating it...

St. John was sitting on a bench, trying to write. In general he never wrote in public and he never used a notepad. Still, it was never too late to try something new. He chewed on the end of his pen, trying to think.

Kitty was still bouncing to the beat. If one watched enough they'd notice she wasn't totally solid. Every once in a while she'd become solid and open her eyes. But for the most part Kitty stayed intangiable. Her smile was soft and benign.

He saw her out of the corner of his eye, taking notice when a leaf blew right through her. So Shadowcat's out and about, he thought, this could be interesting... He lit a cigarette, tossing the still burning match on the ground and making the fire snake towards her like a small thin worm.

Kitty didn't notice...why should she? One of the main X-men team, and although she didn't have Rogue's power, or Jean's. She had a weapon sharper than any sword...her mind, and the fact that heat doesn't hurt that which is not solid...plasma is fire...and still matter.

St. John rolled his eyes. She was either ignoring him or incredibly stupid. He snapped his fingers, setting a nearby garbage can on fire. If she doesn't react to this, then she is rock stupid.

In the brief moment that she was solid Kitty felt the heat. Her eyes having snapped open she cast her gaze towards the pyromaniac Aussie and she let loose a low growl.
"And just what, do you think you are doing?" Her eyes probably blazed brighter than his flames at that moment...Kitty wasn't exactly in the mood to deal with, what she viewed as a mutant terrorist, someone that gave her whole species as it were a hard time fromt heir actions.

"Getting your attention," he said, waving a hand and making the flames disappear. He blew his cigarette smoke away from her and grinned. "And is that any way to treat an old aquaintance?"

"Looking at the fact that you helped destroy the UN building...then yes...yes it is a perfect way of treating you." Hell never mind the fact that her first 'love' if you'd call him that died in the same attack and was made into a martyr over the whole thing...someone had even taken up his old code-name over it...

Kitty rolled her eyes this time, "They hadn't passed anything until AFTER the fact you killed nearly every person in the building...and don't you dare act like you didn't mean to...the building was practically made of glass...Magneto knew exactly what he was doing...and did any of you stop and think?"

"Yes," he said. "I thought it over very carefully, and I personally had pretty clear intentions of killing every mutant-hating sack of shit in there." He sat up, looking at her. "What we did is called rebellion. What you did is called playing for the wrong team."

Kitty laughed, and it was dripping with sarcasm, "Oh yes...France and Britain planned to VETO any measure to make any form of anti-mutant law be passed. And America planned to abstain. That is until you people attacked and pretty much proved everything they worried about right...because of you China and half the third world is imprisioning and eliminating their mutant populations...because of YOU."

"I can't believe you honestly believe that," he said. "France oped to abstain, Japan and China are in favor of making mutants into killing machines, and America wants to wipe them out." He looked at her for a while. "You're really naive, aren't you?"

Kitty rolled her eyes, "Now! The fact is had you not started a damn war, because that is what this is, there would not have been this many problems. Things could have been fixed. But instead...you started a terrible war...and just so you know...Japan wasn't even ON the security council at the time...Russia had always planned to make them into super soldiers so there was no way of stopping them."

"Too well-off...and too blind, do you realize you, Colossus, Gambit, Sabretooth and Magneto made it start in the FIRST place," they actually had the first sentinel used on National television.

"It began long before I became involved with Magneto, babe," he said. He stood up, tossing his cigarette on the ground and grinding it into the pavement with his shoe. "And you have the benefit of living in that quiet, secluded, luxurious mansion. Have you ever been beaten senseless because you were different?"
To be fair, he hadn't; Toad had at one point, though.

Kitty rolled her eyes, "People get beaten for being differen mutant or no. It doesn't matter are you JUST fighting for mutants St. John, or are you fighting for everone? Gays, Jews, Blacks, Asians, Native Americans? Or just mutants?" Kitty's eyes narrowed at him, "Because I only see mutants...and even then your starting most of the fights...they didn't even really KNOW about us until that first incident."

"That's bullshit and you know it!" he said, "the government has known about us for ages. Just ask your pal Wolverine; I believe they were trying to turn him into a weapon before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye. We didn't hit first; we struck back. It's self-defense."

Kitty laughed bitterly, "When did OUR government mess with mutants? Captain America is human. Canada messed with Logan...and even then it wasn't totally known what he was...the term was metahuman at the time."

"The good old U.S. of A screwed with your friend Logan, they just worked with the Canadians," he said. "The US government has been experimenting on mutants for decades. You should've been on the Brotherhood's last mission - we freed about a hundred mutants who were being experimented on and tortured."

Kitty sighed, "The world is falling apart...it's just there are those that fight the legal way and there are those that fight your way...if you remember one half of my team could trounce yours...and the new team thats comming around is supposedly more powerful than yours..."

"Supposedly," he said. He lit a match, watching it burn for a bit before scooping the fire into his hand and making it into a small ball. "We'll just have to wait and see, I guess."
