Chapter 449 Katherine Anne Pryde
"My friend from school said she would come back to see me tonight," Gwen explained, then looked at Yang Le suspiciously and asked, "I didn't tell you beforehand, and she didn't knock. How did you know someone was at the doorway?"
Yang Le first pointed to his ear with a smug look, then pointed to his eyes before explaining, "This is the second ability of the alien hero I transformed into now: super hearing that can cover the entire Earth and X-ray vision that can see through objects."
Although the former of the two abilities Yang Le introduced was more shocking, as a girl, Gwen was more sensitive to the latter ability Yang Le mentioned. Gwen subconsciously protected her body, her cheeks flushed red, glaring fiercely at Yang Le. Yang Le immediately understood Gwen's idea and was about to speak to explain.
"Knock knock knock!"
The knocking outside the house became more urgent. The sudden sound interrupted Yang Le's opening. When he wanted to speak again, Gwen spoke first, "Alright, quickly transform back. If you are still in this alien form when Kitty comes in, you are dead!"
Gwen glared at Yang Le fiercely, then, without listening to Yang Le's explanation, walked towards outside the house on her own. Of course, when she turned around, she didn't forget to cover her butt with her hand.
Yang Le was very helpless. If Gwen hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have thought of using X-ray vision to peep. Two emotions appeared in his heart at once: the feeling of being wronged by misunderstanding, and the feeling of having missed out by not looking.
In fact, under the X-ray vision of a Kryptonian, Gwen's action of covering important parts with her hand was futile. X-ray vision could easily pass through Gwen's arm. Only a few substances, like lead, could block X-ray vision. But Gwen was so unwilling. Yang Le really wouldn't knowingly walk into danger. This was too perverted, and he really couldn't do it. When Yang Le used X-ray vision, he subconsciously directly passed through skin. He could swear that he had never thought about peeping.
Hearing the sound of Omnitrix disengaging transformation from behind, Gwen finally put down her hand. To be honest, when she first heard about X-ray vision, Gwen did feel shy. But the reason she reacted so strongly wasn't because Yang Le might have peeped at her, but because of the guest coming home, her friend Katherine "Kitty" Pryde. You know, she's also a girl. If it were just herself and Yang Le, it wouldn't matter, but with Kitty... no, in short, it's not okay!
Gwen took a few deep breaths to calm her mood, and then opened the door of the house. As soon as the door opened, Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, with her chestnut-colored long hair, was indeed standing outside the door. Her face showed a hint of impatience from waiting.
"Good evening, Kitty!" Gwen smiled, opened her arms, and hugged Kitty, who was pouting.
"I'm not good, Gwen," Kitty said with a pout after letting go of Gwen. "Why did you take so long to open the door? I thought you were going to shut me out."
"How could I?" Gwen denied it outright. "I was just listening to music and doing homework. You know I really like music. Those wonderful things give me inspiration."
"Okay, I forgive you, but you have to treat me to a midnight snack," Kitty said charmingly, holding Gwen's right hand.
"Of course, no problem," Gwen raised her free left hand, as if swearing. "If you don't mind the weight you've gained recently."
"Hate you, Gwen," Kitty frowned. "I shouldn't have told you my weight. Now there's one more count to your crimes. You also have to help me with my homework."
"Seriously, Kitty," Gwen said with a sly smile. "If you convert those added burdens into grade, you'd definitely be the number one student at Midtown High School."
"Alright!" Kitty said in exasperation. "You dare to laugh at me! I'm going to get you!" Facing her friend's ridicule, Kitty's right hand, which was already holding Gwen, continued to control Gwen, and used her other hand to reach for Gwen's ticklish spot.
"Hahaha, I won't say it anymore, hahaha!"
"Too late, you must endure my punishment!"
Gwen, tickled on her ticklish spot by Kitty, laughed uncontrollably, but she couldn't do anything to Kitty. Gwen didn't dare resist Kitty's tickling because she wasn't sure if she could control her strength at this time. She was afraid that her tens of tons of power would turn Kitty into flesh paste.
"Cough cough!"
The sudden sound of a man made Kitty pause. She looked up and saw a strange Asian face. The sudden appearance of the stranger startled her.
"Finally," Gwen was finally free. She looked at Yang Le gratefully. If he hadn't intervened, she might have really lost control.
"Um, Gwen, who is this?" Kitty looked at Yang Le awkwardly. Acting silly in front of strangers, even an outgoing girl like Kitty would feel shy.
"Huff~" Gwen took a deep breath and composed herself before introducing them. "He's my boyfriend Yang Le. He's Chinese, and his name might be a bit tongue-twisting. You can call him Yang. Yang, this is Katherine "Kitty" Pryde. She's the good friend I've mentioned to you."
"So you're Kitty," Yang Le stepped forward. "Gwen often mentions you, saying you're a very lively girl."
"Ah, hello Yang," Kitty said. Knowing Yang Le's identity, she was no longer timid. She shook Yang Le's hand generously, but quickly let go. "My full name is Katherine Anne Pryde. You can also call me Kitty."
Because he had encountered so many comic characters, Yang Le was no longer shocked by the sudden appearance of a comic character in front of him. That's right, the girl in front of him was also a well-known character in Marvel Comics. She was a member of the X-Men, a mutant with the code name Shadowcat.
In the comics, Kitty's image isn't as fixed as other characters. Sometimes long hair, sometimes short hair, sometimes curly hair. Her hair color has also changed several times. She's the kind of character that's not easy to recognize, and even Yang Le couldn't recognize her at a glance. But Kitty's name is still very distinctive. Although the naming method of full name and nickname isn't uncommon in America, if both names are the same as Shadowcat, then it's definitely her.
However, looking at Kitty's current appearance, she probably hasn't awakened her ability yet. This is normal. Different universes have different outcomes. It's not impossible for Kitty in this universe not to awaken her ability.
"By the way, Gwen!" While Yang Le was thinking, Gwen had already chatted with Kitty for a while. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and said to Gwen, "The dance at Midtown High School is in a few days. Will you ask Yang Le to go?"
