[For any that may be watching the new recruit's arrival they would recognize the instant she became conscious, even if she didn't move from the bed. Her form shifted, a change in coloration, blue skin to tanned Caucasian and fiery red hair to glossy blonde. Despite looking like she was still asleep and resting Mystique was hyper aware something was wrong, trying to identify her surroundings through her other senses as she continued to mimic sleep.

Yet several long minutes later after no attack or sounds of another living being, she rose smoothly and cautiously from the bed, eyes darting around to her new surroundings. Her face was stiff, frozen in a forced calm expression while her mind raced to figure out what the hell was going on. It looked like a facility, similar to the one Scott Summers had trapped her in and left her to be experimented on. A flash of white hot rage at the memory shot through her but she quickly shoved it back. She was repay him ten folds for that, but for now she had to focus on what was going on.

Her exploration of the areas was only increasing her frustration and anger, ignoring those others trapped with her for the time and slipping out of their way to try and discover what was going on. Yet it was another discovery that angered her greater than anything else; the augment. She had been chipped, a fucking implant placed in her, and if it wasn't for the information that was ever so slowly trickling through it, to tell her that no, this wasn't a government base holding mutants, or even related to mutants in any way, she would had ripped it right out of her skull. She was still considering it actually.

Instead she looked to find the cameras, the ones she now knew were watching her, unable to keep a snarl from her face as she let her true form show.] Whoever thinks that I'm happy to be part of your little freak show, you're sorely mistaken. Or you will be once I get my hands on you.

'I' don't, [Let's make that very clear to start with.] And it's Mystique. [As far as she was concerned 'Mystique' was her real name, Raven was reserved only for Irene to use.

Yet this did strike up her curiosity again, since she believed she knew all of the X-Men.] Who are you?

[Yeah, she's worried about Kurt here.]

Kitty Pryde. Or Shadowcat if you really want to be formal.

[Mystique stared long and hard at the screen with that reveal, before finally talking.] Is that so? [Yet it was really rhetorical in nature than a real question.

Interesting, very interesting.] Can see your concerns regarding my position on the X-Men then.

[She watches the woman for a moment.] Did the name ring a bell?

Yes, one of Xavier's students, a girl capable of phasing through matter. I can only assume that covers your mutation at well.

You got it. Do I really look that different?

It's not just your physical appearance. [The girl was light years away from what the Kitty Pyrde of her world. This one, this one seemed more observant, something Mystique would have to be more careful around. It was so much easier to deal with idiots who didn't ask questions or looked too closely, as frustrating as it was to be surrounded by such individuals.]

And to think you haven't even seen me smoke. [Or fight.]

[If Kitty was going for a shock factor then it was lost on Mystique, she not even battering an eyelid at the comment.] A lack of peer pressure not to start in your world?

[It was lighter than that. Closer to a joke. She's not sure how to treat or see this Mystique. She's still working out the boundaries. She'll need to talk to Kurt too.]

Logan wasn't always the best influence. [She appreciates all the influence he was anyway.]

And that would be the understatement of the year. [Humor may be a bit of a stretch, however Mystique was more than capable of sarcasm.] Wolverine isn't the best influence on anyone, let alone children. [Not that she was really one to talk.]

Mine wasn't called Wolverine. Someone else was going by that name. [She knows it's the name other Logans have used though.] He was Weapon X and good influence or not he was a great mentor. [Still protective of him and proud to have been his student because it's something she's held on to so long she doesn't know how to let it go. For now she'll just not think about the stories Kurt told her about what happens...afterward.]

[Oh look, another glassy-eyed young girl caught up in the need for Logan's attention. He did seem to have a way of attracting them. It was rather sickening to see.] I'm sure. [Her tone said otherwise, an undertone of boredom running around it.

However none of this was overly important right now, and it was starting to lose it's point in being interesting to her. Mystique did not need to know whatever bonds this Kitty had made, just the fact she existed, was also stuck here, and the knowledge of other universes existed. It was more than enough to go by for now.] Is there anything other than name dropping you are offering?

Oh, now you want to accept help from one of the X-Men?

I do have some extra gum. [Have a smile to go with her oh, so generous offer.]

[Highly unamused by both Kitty's comment and tone, the only response she got was hardly a mature one, but possibly the best outcome to the entire thing; Mystique's line going dead.

Yes, she just hung up on you.]
