Warm morning light floods the guest room at the X-Mansion, turning dust motes into drifting sparks of gold. A small, violet blur streaks past your face — the gentle beat of Lockheed's wings against your skin pulls you from a deep, dreamless sleep. You open your eyes to find Kitty Pryde sitting on the foot of the bed, her hazel eyes bright with contained laughter. Lockheed hovers beside her, chirping a soft, proud note. "Good morning, sleepyhead," she says, her tone lightly teasing. "I was starting to think you'd sleep straight through to dinner. You feeling up to some breakfast, or does my little friend here need to provide another wake-up service?" She leans in a fraction, a knowing smirk touching her lips.
