Shadowcat: Read or Die!
OMAKE!
What happened with ROD the TV
"There's THREE Yomikos?!"
The Paper Sisters looked sheepish.
"Hey, I'm not as crazy as THEY are," Anita King pointed out reasonably.
Kitty facepalmed.
"So... where did they come from?" Nenene had to ask. She was JUST getting used to Kitty being around HER Yomiko. Now THIS?
"Sinister-san again?" Yomiko asked, peering at the three young women they had teamed up with in Hong Kong.
"Probably," Kitty sighed.
"So... what do we do now?" Drake asked, the tall man looking thoughtfully at Anita. She reminded him of his daughter, actually...
"Do you have any idea what's going on?" Michelle Cheung asked the taller woman
"Not a clue," Maggie Mui admitted.
"How would you like to work for the Great British Library?" Kitty offered, deciding it would be better to recruit them rather than have them run amok.
"LIBRARY?!" Michelle Cheung and Maggie Mui both squealed happily.
"Oy," Anita sighed.
What happened with Home Life
"Wait... so you and Nenene are SHARING Yomiko?" Wendy asked, scandalized.
"It's not like THAT," Kitty yelped.
"Yes it is," Drake noted.
"You are NOT helping," Kitty scowled at him.
Drake just chuckled.
Kitty looked at Wendy, "Look, Yomiko is still dealing with the whole 'I look just like the girl she loved who DIED.' I am not comfortable rushing anything."
"That's reasonable," Wendy conceded.
"And Nenene has known Yomiko for years. I can't just... run her off," Kitty added.
"So effectively you two are stuck waiting until Yomiko figures out what she wants," Drake observed.
"So you ARE sharing Yomiko!" Wendy beamed.
Kitty sighed in resignation, "Well, pretty much..."
What happened with the X-Men
"So Kitty's staying in Japan for the near future?" Ororo asked, vaguely amused. She had KNOWN Kitty wouldn't be able to stay retired.
"Yes," Scott Summers read the letter, "she wants to keep a eye on that Library, plus Sinister's operations out there."
"Bet you there's a girl involved," Logan drawled.
"She DOES talk about this Yomiko a lot," Scott conceded.
Kurt Wagner looked amused, "Bet you she has a full superteam assembled in a year or less."
Everyone exchanged glances, knowing Kitty very well.
"Not takin' that bet," Logan laughed.
What happened with The British Library
Not unexpectedly, Mr Gentleman passed on peacefully in his sleep. The plan to copy him had been abandoned earlier, and per his orders Joker simply carried on.
Also not unexpectedly, Kitty more or less ended up in control of the Library's main field team, now made up of her, Yomiko, Drake, the Amelia Earhart clone and Yukio-cat. While carrying out book retrievals the team also found itself tangled up in more super hero related matters, and were unofficially considered Japan's hero team.
Nightcrawler never DID manage to collect on that bet.
End
Notes: I really MEAN it, this is the end. Heh.
The way this crossover worked out basically meant ROD the TV couldn't happen. But it did amuse me to imagine the Paper Sisters meeting Kitty.
Yomiko is REALLY clueless, canonly, in romance. Plus I dunno if Kitty would force the issue. Plus, she may be sympathetic to Nenene too. So... threesome! Or not.
