Kate, in the middle of describing the Thing's reaction to being apparently used as cover by an unrepentant Longshot during an inexplicable moment when all the Machines in New York seemed determined to destroy their creators, pauses at the sound of micro explosions from the woods.  She pauses mid sentance, and hovers straight up two feet, not so much out of alarm, as concern.  Seeing Petra, her sleeve missing, coming out of the woods looking disgruntled but unharmed, she lands again.<br/><br/>"Excuse me, Martin, Gwen.  I'm going to just ask Petra a question."<br/><br/>Walking towards the girl, she appraises the extent of the damage... approvingly after a moment.  "I had no idea you'd gained so much control, Petra.  Well done!  May I ask what happened?  Paparazzi?"
