“It’s unlikely. More lives have been saved here than lost.
In this timeline, anyway.”
❝ ———- Good to know. Not to sound, like, bratty or
anything but I’m not gonna have to share a room
with anyone, right? ❞

“It should, for the number of times it’s been destroyed."
[ she closed the gate after her, and gestures for May to walk up the main path ]
she jogs after her.
❝ Wait, destroyed? ❞

“Good.."
[ she keys her code into the side panel of the gate and causes it to open ]
"Come in.”
❝ Coming! ❞
( she swings through the gate after her and lands
on the ground just behind her. )
❝ Geez. This place looks amazing. ❞

.”“I’ll believe it when I see it. If anyone asks, you enrolled yesterday but you’ve had your powers for a while. Try and keep the story straight.”
❝ Hey, don’t let my dad’s reputation be your point of reference for me — — I’ve been told that I’m the tolerable Spider — — And don’t worry, I’m a pro at keeping my story straight. ❞

“Well, it’s Katherine, but everyone calls her Kitty. I can get you a room in the mansion, but it would be better if you didn’t tell anyone that you’re from the future, or who your parents are in said future, ecetera. ”
❝ Oh, okay. Makes sense — — So basically, keep my mouth shut? — — Believe it or not, I can do that. ❞

“…Right. And you need a place to stay?”
❝ I told you it was stupid — — And yeah, that’d be great. At least until she gets back to me — — Wait, is her name really ’Kitty’? ❞

“I teach teenage mutants. Nothing is too stupid to believe. Try me.”
❝ I sort of got…shot through a wormhole — — And now I can’t get back, so I’m pretty much stuck here. ❞

“Maybe you just never met me. But no. I really doubt it was the same as mine. How did you get here?”
❝ I guess, ‘cause I know I’d remember you if I did — — It’s actually a very embarrassing story that’s too stupid to believe. ❞

“It’s happened a lot lately. People from the past, from the future, from other realities… Kitty told you that I’m from the future as well?"
[ she raises her eyebrows in question ]
❝ Sounds crazy. And yeah, she did. — — Guess it’s not the same as mine, I don’t recognize you. ❞
– { Taking in the Stray | Rachel & May
“Sorry. Had to. We’ve had our trust taken advantage of before, we can’t afford to have it happen again. You’re from the future?”
❝ It’s okay. Just know that I know when you’re in there — — So no funny business. ❞
( she nods. )
❝ Yeah, that’s me. — — I shouldn’t be surprised that that doesn’t surprise you. ❞
