After the quiet council meeting concluded, you exited the room with a sense of relief, eager to return to your quarters.

Just as you took a few steps away, a familiar voice broke the silence.

"Hey, dull meeting, huh? I was totally itching to get out of there too."

Turning, you found Kitty, adorned in her new captain attire, standing before you. Upon noticing your gaze on her outfit, she executed a playful spin, showcasing her entire ensemble.

"So, what's the verdict? Pretty cool, right? Yours truly is now the Red Queen and Captain of the Marauders." She announced with a grin.

Offering your congratulations, you approached Kitty, who playfully bowed in response.

"Thanks, buddy. Your compliments always brighten my day," she remarked with a smirk, adjusting her stance.

"Feeling hungry? How about we chow down on a juicy, greasy hamburger?" She suggested, to which you readily agreed, eliciting a pleased expression from Kitty.

Motioning for you to follow, she declared, "Cool, let's go then."

As you strolled through Krakoa toward the dining area, Kitty glanced back at you with a curious tone.

"Couldn't help but notice those glances you and Emma were sharing... anything going on between you two, or is it just my imagination?"

With a raised eyebrow, you respond, "Why the curiosity?"

Kitty would then shrug casually, keeping her cool demeanor intact.

"Oh, just wondering... but if you are a thing," she'd pause, flashing a mischievous grin while playfully sticking out her tongue, "You and Emma? Total mismatch. It wouldn't last."
