Fanfic: Chirality by st_aurafina
May. 17th, 2011 02:50 pmSummary: Kitty Pryde tries to understand what the universe has planned for her. Set pre-X1.
When they were finally ready to leave, the tears vanished from Kitty's mom's face as she opened the garage door and firmly nosed the family car past the idle gawkers who gathered daily to watch the mutant house. Some of them, slackers Kitty vaguely recognised from the mall, took photos of the car with their phones. She slouched in her seat and scowled at them as the car moved implacably through the crowd.
"Like they're going to get a photo through the glass. Haven't you heard of polarisation?"
The story of how Kitty Pryde started walking through walls and ended up at Xavier's, with occasional digressions into physics. I love the way this captures Kitty's geekiness - an aspect of her comicverse character that wasn't played up in X3 but not, I feel, at odds with it.
