Kate frowned, not having fond memories of Emma Frost.<em>Her lessons in psychic defense seemed more like torture than anything.</em>Trying to push past it, she shook her head, and smiled slightly.   "I see, Emma asked you to attend?" Realizing some of her feelings about the poor girl's mother are in her voice, she changes the subject.  "I'm not actually drinking yet." She gestures to the cider glass. "Just cider for now."<br/><br/>Then Martin Blaire came up to them, trying to act suave, and Kate had a moment where she wasn't sure if she should laugh or sigh.  Here she was, fellow X-man, talking to the daughter of two, and the team's newest recruit didn't recognize either of them. She decided to be kind.<em>After all, the poor boy wasn't trained here, and he's never seen me out of costume.</em><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/4/41/Lightspeed_Head.jpg/440px-Lightspeed_Head.jpg)</div>Turning, she gave him a warm smile.  "I'm flattered, Martin, or should I say, Helel?". Softly she says, "Costume on.". In a very subdued way, suddenly, with no seeming transition, Kate is wearing her tight black and yellow costume, and odd white boots.  Martin can't help but recognizing as his teammate, Energizer.  "Costume Off." she says again a second later, and the cute blond in the pink dress is back before many people around can even notice the double change.<br/><br/>"It's a good thing your not in my class, Mr, Blaire.  I'd have taken points off for lack of observation." She's smiling warmly at him as she says this however.  "Enjoying the party so far?"
