Heather looked at her team leader and the demon spawner in shock. IGNORED HER?!?! Of course she ignored her. She was an immature child who couldn't keep her mouth shut. In Brooklyn, people got beaten up for being stupid and having a big mouth. Thankfully she wasn't associated with people who did such terrible things. However the local news was never shy of stories.
She glared at K'8 as she explained what had happened in the kitchen. She was "teasing" her? More like taunting her. Heather's jaw tightened, her patience decreasing every second K'8 spoke. As soon as K'8 finished, Heather retorted immediately. "First of all," she said forcefully. "You were not 'teasing me', you were bothering everyone. You came in here, and began opening your mouth about something that wasn't even true! I was being the better person and didn't say anything." Her finger was pointing back and forth between K'8 and herself. She only did that when she was really annoyed. It was unfortunate that her anger was at its worst towards a teammate. "And second," she continued. "I am NOT being your diet instructor anymore." Now she looked at Shadowkat. "I'm sorry but she is just too annoying and childish".
In a way, Heather was being selfish. However could she be blamed? She was done with drama. It was resolved with Lorelai the day before. And now more had to emerge? Why her? Why in Heather's life? She already had enough to deal with. She looked to her team leader, hoping she would understand.

Kitty's hand never left her hip as she heard k'8 answer first, and then heard Heather's angry retort, and was sure it was going to keep on if she didn't say anything. "Both of you stop. Now. k'8, seeing that biting your tongue was most likely an accident, and I hope that it is. Put your tongue back in your mouth before you make it bleed again, I can see it. And as far as the teasing goes, not everyone behaves with their friends like you did with yours. We are not your old friends, we don't tease each other here. We are civil enough and know how far to go. You went too far, and that's why I'm guessing Guardian interfered," she said firmly.
Seeing the girl hold up the apple, she nodded a little. "So I see," she said, and looked to Heather at k'8's statement regarding her, and then she spoke about the demons, her mind flashing back to the one who had been appearing as Kurt for a nanosecond. "As for your little demon friends, you need to learn how to control them, and they may be fun for you, but not for everyone else. You need to be more considerate of other people. Look at the mess your demons made. I should very well make you clean it up, they were your creation, your doing, like it or not. And stop with the stare, k'8," she finished when she saw the glare at Heather, who was quick to speak back.
Kitty let out a small sigh as she looked to Heather now. She was the more mature of the two girls; she knew not to start a problem or keep it going, feeding the fire so to speak. She let the retort linger in the air, for she didn't know what k'8 had been possibly taking the wrong way, but at the second part, she let out another sigh as Heather relinquished her status as k'8's diet instructor. "This is when we are supposed to try to overlook each others' flaws, but seeing as how you two simply just cannot get along, Heather, I understand. I suppose I will take this job myself now. k'8, you will be under my watch now, so you will continue to eat healthy, and you will learn to become more civil with the rest of your teammates, as well as the other students," she decided aloud, speaking to both of the girls now, awaiting a response.

"You're just gonna let her quit? Just like that?" k'8 asked looking a little hurt. "But, I was only teasing her because I thought she was cool and could take it and have a funny comeback. Shit, I don't even talk to anybody for like ever and then when I decide to try and be friendly she takes it all wrong? This sucks."
K'8 was honestly shocked. "What if I just don't want to try and do this whole diet thing, so I quit? Is that alright then?" D'mnchyld took the apple and chucked it at the wall right over Aqua's head. It splattered all over and she turned her back on them both. A grin curled her lips as she was truly loving all of the crap she was pulling. The thing that was bugging her was why she liked Aqua at all, she was attractive and smart maybe in a way Katie always hoped she could be, plus she had such a cool-ass power.

Heather sighed, thankful that Shadowkat understood where she was coming from. Good, she didn't have to deal with all this drama anymore. She could just continue with her life as it was and apologize to Ian and everything would be back to normal. When it came to dealing with K'8...well she would have to avoid her until their team leader began to create more practices.
She tuned into the conversation between K'8 and Shadowkat. Her eyes widened in shock, her anger growing into confusion. She thought she was cool? What? Heather's jaw opened and dropped when she heard K'8 explanation for her immature actions. She was being mean, to be friendly? Where the heck did this girl come from? Her anger returned quickly however, when an apple was thrown to her face. "WHAT THE HELL K'8?" she screamed while ducking her head. At that moment, the faucet in the kitchen exploded and water sprayed out, covering everything with water. Heather stared at the mess she made and began to feel helpless. God damn it I can't do anything right anymore, she said to herself. She stopped the water from spraying out of the faucet and looked down at her clothes. She was soaked, and began to understand what Ian must have felt when she played her prank on him: annoyance. Now she knew her AND K'8 would be stuck cleaning the kitchen. Perfect.

Kitty sighed at k'8's outburst; it was a way to remain her normally calm self, but she did see the slight little hurt look on the girl's face. "From what I gathered just by this, Heather wasn't expecting this kind of treatment. I can understand a little bit of teasing, but ragging on someone isn't friendly, at least that's how I see it. Why don't you try explaining to her how you are with your friends? I want you to have friends here, but you must think of how others might take the way you act towards them," she explained calmly, and then spoke again when the demon spawner spoke of quitting her diet.
"No, because we're trying to help you get stronger so you can learn better control. Isn't that what you want? You don't want to improve your ability? That can't be tru-" she stopped in mid sentence as she saw her hurl the apple she had in her hand right over Heather's head. "K'8!" she yelled as the girl turned her back to them, and looked to see if the water girl was alright. But she wasn't, for she had yelled, and the next thing that happened was she saw that the faucet exploded, and on instinct, Kitty rose a few inches above the floor as she phased, the water that went everywhere went straight through her and splashed on the ground. "Heather, please calm down. k'8, end it, NOW. Acting like this will not help people to like you better, whether you think so or not," she said, still hovering over the floor. She wanted her to have friends and be able to feel like she belonged, but pulling these stunts were not going to help her in the least bit. "Heather, since the water was your doing, granted it was done on emotions running high, you're going to clean it up. I am sure you won't have too much trouble since you know how to move the water already," she said to the other girl who stood soaking wet.

"Yeah, I want to get good with my powers like Aqua is with hers. I liked that she was gonna help me, but I didn't want to have to say it. DUH!" K'8 stomped her over-sized boot down on the floor turning back around.
"You want me to be 'nice', well that's not me. Like I don't even care now. Whatever" k'8 said as she pulled out a chair and sat down at the table flopping her head down face first and banging her forehead on the tabletop, wrapping her arms over top of it to block out the world.

"Well then if you want to get stronger then you need to work with us, and I'm sure you didn't want to have to say it, but you didn't act like it, so what else could your actions be taken for?" Kitty replied as k'8 turned around. As she spoke of being nice, the team leader shook her head. "No, I want you to be nicer. You can still be how you are, but just keep in mind at least some consideration for your teammates and classmates. They're who you'll have to deal with here, surely that is something you can manage."
Now that k'8 sat down, Kitty looked to Heather, pointing to a chair next to the demon spawner with a look of authority, and then she looked at both of them. The water would dry, eventually, and the rest of the result of the chaos would certainly be taken care of soon enough, but she had questions to ask. "Now I wonder, can either of you tell me a few things that have left me the slightest bit confused....firstly, where did that creature that was with Sara, a golem I am sure, come from, and why was he in here, and then the next minute...running out? And I also wonder, why exactly was Guardian shooting fire...in the house? And better yet, why did no one try to stop what was going on? Enlighten me. I came in the last part of all of this, so I caught everyone as they left," she prompted, her mind flashing back again with another pang to how the little demon that had been on fire had become Nightcrawler.
Why had she seen that, or, why had the demon taken a mockery of his shape? It was almost unnerving for her to see, almost only because she had managed to keep her cool and not show the pain behind knowing that he simply had to be dead after the whole Brotherhood attack, and she had to get down to why it all happened. Something was up, but what? Things like this had to mean something was wrong, but what was it? Tons of questions surrounded her ever-working mind as she was trying to get to the bottom of it all, ones about what happened, why it had gone that far, why a visage of Kurt had appeared. She knew that everything happened for a reason. But what was the reason for all of this? What went down was something that Kitty had to find out.

Heather groaned at the mess she created. However Shadowkat was correct. Heather could clean the mess with no problem, thanks to her powers. Being a mutant did have its perks. She listened to K'8 answers. Heather couldn't help but sneer. That was her reason? She just couldn't be nice, or as their team leader put it "nicer.
The whole situation was ridiculous and Heather wanted to leave K'8 (who in her book was now scary and weird), and spend time with someone whom she liked. Maybe her and Lurai could spend some time together. They were supposed to talk about making her clothes. It would be fun. Heather needed to take some measurements of her tail's diameter and circumference; as well as where to place the hole in her pants for them. It wouldn't take long but it did require perfect measurements. Hopefully Lurai would be able to stay still.
Waking up from her thoughts, Heather heard K'8's head banging against the table. God this chick has problems, she thought, no longer feeling sorry for her own. It was clear that K'8 had much worse problems than Heather did, and in a way, it was a good reason for why she behaved so...dark. Heather sighed, listening to Shadowkat's reply and bit her lip. She looked to the empty chair that her leader pointed to and rolled her eyes. Great, now I have to sit next to her. She sighed again and nodded while she plopped down on the kitchen chair. Slouching into the chair and looking at her instructor, Heather listened to her question about Amos. "I have no idea," she retorted with a shrug. "All Sara said was that she was taking care of him and she brought him here and that is all I know." She emphasized on the word "I", for there was a possibility that Alexsey or even K'8 would know more about the golem situation. Heather then continued. "And the only reason why Alexsey used his powers was because of K'8 here," she said while pointing her thumb to the demon girl.

Not having a watch, Sara was not sure exactly how much time had passed since she and Amos left the kitchen. Still she had decided to go back as Amos seemed calm now, she still needed to get him breakfast, and she assumed that Shadowkat would now have things under control. Also she would need to talk to her teacher about arrangements for Amos. With these thoughts on her mind she returned to the kitcen with the golem in tow. Upon entering she was happy to see that Aqua was still there but scowled on seeing Kate. She was also somewhat happy to see Shadowkat had not left yet, but was at a loss for how to start explaining the situation. So she sidesteppe the issue,saying just, "I hope I'm not interrupting, I just came back because Amos needs the rest of his breakfast and I was hoping things would have calmed down by now, as you" she said to Kate, "had him pretty frightened earlier." As she finished the sentence her tone became quite cold, and was indeed even colder than she had intended.

"I don't know either the new kid was here when I showed up and Guardian? Well, I guess he got mad when the putty-man made itself look like him. That jerk, he flamed him" k'8 said, her voice muffled under her long floppy sleeves and from being face down on the table. Picking her head up she caught sight of the look on Heather's face, a mix of disdain and pity, as she was laying blame the blame on the daemon spawner again.
"Look, I said it before. I didn't make them come this time, and I DON'T have any control over them when they show up! Is that so hard to believe, I'm not as good with my powers as you are Heather, damn." k'8 siad as Sara walked in with her big weird looking friend.
"Well there she is Miss Pryde ask her about that thing." k'8 pointed to the two of them as they walked in and when she heard how Sara spoke to her she jumped up out of her chair and slammed her hands down on the tabletop screaming back at her "I ALREADY SAID I DIDN'T DO IT !"

Kitty unphased and landed gently on the floor as Heather obeyed her order and took a seat next to the girl as she banged her head against the table. She looked to the water bender as she spoke first, slouching in her seat and speaking her part, emphasizing that it was only for herself she spoke. Her answer was something the team leader could understand; and she listened and saw as Heather pointed to k'8 regarding why Guardian had flamed a demon. She looked to k'8 for an answer or a retort, but in waiting, she heard someone come in and saw that it was Sara, and her golem that she had seen in the doorway when she first came to the kitchen.
"Oh, good. Sara. Maybe you can answer one of my questions," she said after the girl spoke, obviously trying to avoid the subject at hand and her tone growing cold. She also saw that she looked at k'8 accusingly, and inwardly heaved a sigh. All of the bickering and the pointing of fingers. k'8 began to speak, and so Kitty let her. She didn't know about the golem either, so Sara would have to fess up whether she liked it or not. Kitty listened to why Guardian had breathed fire in the kitchen: because one of the demons had mimicked the way he looked; that had to have been it, a mockery of him, like when she came in there was the flash mock version of Kurt before it dissipated into smoke. Hearing k'8 speak to Heather, Kitty shook her head. "I know you don't have control over them, but this is why you are here, to learn control and become stronger," she reminded her gently, as she glanced at Heather, who looked as if she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. But her chances were about as good as k'8's, which weren't good.
As the demon spawner spoke, pointing out Sara, Kitty turned her glance to the girl and her golem. Now that the girl was there, she asked her, "Now Sara. Enlighten me as to where that golem came from, and why you brought him in here? I am quite curious, though from the commotion I came in on, I can see why he had run out. But still, don't avoid answering my questions. I won't let you leave until I'm satisfied."
But as she waited for an answer, Sara's statement seemed to have struck a chord with k'8, who exploded and started screaming. Kitty's head snapped to look at her and she put her hand on her shoulder and pushed the girl back down to sit back on the chair she jumped up from. "K'8! ENOUGH! Hold your tongue right now and calm down!" she said, her grip on her temper was getting harder to hold. Emotions were running at a constant high, and what was being said was not helping in the least bit. She kept a firm grip on k'8's shoulder as she turned her flashing eyes to the girl who had just come in. "Sara. If you have something to say, say it to me. I am the one you are answering to, no one else. Speak to me. Now answer my questions," she demanded, and looked to the two girls sitting down. "Not a word from either of you," she warned as she turned back to Sara, waiting for answers.

When Sara walked into the kitchen, Heather couldn't help but agree with K'8. Now that Sara was there, she would be the perfect candidate to talk about the golem with. She was the one who "found it". As Sara spoke and blamed K'8 for Amos' fright, Heather jolted slightly in shock when K'8 banged against the table again to only yell......again. She seemed to like that a lot. Heather stayed in her seat, not saying anything. She truly was annoyed at the whole situation. And she couldn't help but think why drama, that involved her, always occurred in the kitchen. She planned to eat her breakfast elsewhere from now on.
Heather heard K'8 complain about "not being as great with her powers". She couldn't help but roll her eyes in response. What did that have to do with anything? The whole situation wouldn't have happened if she started acting like a child and laughed like an idiot. Then again, K'8 did have a point with controlling the demons. Their evil doings weren't in her control. But then again, she didn't attempt to stop them while they were terrorizing the group and causing a mess. No, K'8 was wrong and she needed to learn that. Heather stood her ground and kept her composure for what ever K'8 was going to say next. She needed to control her temper and learn to control her anger. It seemed that eventually, the entire school would flood the day Heather's anger ceased any control.
She listened to Shadowkat calm K'8 down and then speak to Sara, asking for information about Amos. It was about time that they got the full picture and story, and K'8 would finally shut up. The only thing that Heather dreaded more, was having to clean up the kitchen with the demon spawner, after the discussion with Sara. This is going to be a fun morning, she thought sarcastically.

K'8 sat down looking up at Kitty. Her tongue really hurt now and she wished she had just stayed in bed. Today was already totally crap!
She didn't speak or even sigh or roll her eyes or stomp her big clumping boots. She simply sat down and let Kitty take over, she was done for now and if either of these two nasty bitchy teammates of hers pissed her off anymore today she would just get her revenge later.
Like the Klingon saying goes 'Revenge is a dish best served cold!', at least that's what it said in the beginning of the Kill Bill movie.

Sara, sighed and tried to explain as best she could. "His name is Amos. He's a baby really. So he needs me around to take care of him. I took him here to get some breakfast and everything was fine until the demons started causing havoc. I was spoon feeding him cereal and he was being quiet and getting along with everybody." She stopped to catch her breath, knowing that she was going to have to answer the second part of Kitty's question, about where Amos had come from. "I left a note about him on the fridge for Ms. Frost...I can only assume she got it. Basically I was scared the other day and went into the woods and I made Amos not really thinking anything would come of it, just a statue really, but when I got scared and cried he came to life. He's not really a proper golem, a golem is a dumb thing that just follows commands and nothing more. He's got his own mind...it is just that he's a baby. He needs me. Punish me if you need to, but don't hurt him, he's a complete innocent here," she said finishing with a note of panic in her voice. She was terrified that Kitty might order Amos away or worse that the teacher might decide to kill him, thinking that he was just a golem and could go right back to the dust. Sara would die before she would let anything bad happen to her golem.

"My guys mighta made a little mess, but lookit that thing dripping slushy mud wherever it goes! That's gross and you love it, so lay offa my daemons, or else!" K'8 was really mad as hell at this fat ugly little girl. 'Who does she think she is? A baby my ass, it's about as cute as a muddy fart in a bog and it can't even feed itself !?!' she thought.
Actually it was kinda cute and k'8 would have enjoyed it if it wasn't for Sara being such a prissy little thing. In fact k'8 could see herself playing with it in the snow, but was concerned for it as the thought crossed her mind that if Amos stayed indoors 'he' might just melt clean away, so she spoke again saying "I think you should keep him outside or in the freezer, cause he looks like he's gonna pull a 'frosty-the-snowman' on you and melt into the carpet."
