(OOC: Ducky, check out OOC, I'll do a quick post for Kat now, but if you get a little bored waiting for me to get my laptop back feel free to take control of her.)
Kat heard the running footsteps of another person and she quickly turned towards them, flicking out the blade of her pocket knife. A pretty girl came running up towards them, the first girl Kat had seen since she'd said goodnight to her mother the night before everything had gone bad. The old man called her "Al", Kat thought a pretty girl should have a nicer name, like Ariel or Jasmine or something. The girl jogged up to Jim, and then turned in surprise to Kat, "A child?" Al questioned.
Kat puffed out her chest furiously, "I am not a child!" she said, quietly but firmly.
Al began to talk to the old man about mutants, Kat scrambled behind the old man and down the steep stairs of the door on the ground, her heart pounding. The last thing Kat wanted was a confrontation with a mutant, she had never done it without James there. Without James protecting her. And she knew her best bet was to trust Jim, and hope he could protect her. After all, he was a grownup.
