"I love milk and fish. I've never been around catnip though." Nika smiled innocently. "I've hissed a few times but I also growl like a mountain lion when I'm fighting."

She watched as Daria shook Kesuk's hand and introduced herself back to him.

Daria laughed. There was a more personal question, about being in heat which she had expereinced right before Mike's coma but she decided to save it for another time.

She thought some more, after introducing herself to Kesuk. "Well then maybe the differences aren't all that great." she decided. "On first meeting you I just thought I was more cat like, who knows; maybe our mutations are more similar than I thought." she smiled and patted Nika on the head once more.

Nika was still purring when Daria patted her head again. In response she nuzzled Daria's ear with the side of her head. "Well, you still chase things and I don't do that unless I have a reason for it. It's not just on a whim. I guess overall i try to keep myself balanced between cat and girl cause I do love to shop." Nika giggled.

Daria's eyes widened. "I LOVE SHOPPING!!!" she wiggled her ears. "we should hang out sometime. Get lunch.." she thought for a minute.

"My parents owned a restaurant down in Dc where I grew up and I own it now and I'm kind of turning it into a chain. One just opened up in the city. We could do lunch there sometime and then go shopping!" she grinned, looking to Nika for approval, her tail waving excitedly.

Nika's face lit up at the thought of another shopping partner besides her roomie Nicki. "That sounds great. I'd love to hang out with you even if we don't go shopping. Umm..so what kind of food does your place serve anyways?"

Daria laughed impulsively. "Not rats and raw birds." she joked. "its a soul food restaurant, so things like fried chicken, sweet potatoes, mahs potatoes, collard greens. Of course you can always get a good old burger and fries or a salad."

She thought. "Now that we're in the city, thing's will probably be added." she said off handedly.

Iris shifted in her seat slightly. "Shopping's good..." she mumbled, talking in her sleep. "Jus' gotta find my credit cars..." She was actually sound asleep, but apparently just the mention of the word still got a reaction.

"That sounds like a great place to eat."

Just then Iris started mumbling about shopping and finding her credit cars. Nika couldn't help but laugh as she thought it was cute.

"Maybe we'll have another shopping buddy over there."

Daria laughed. "Sure! Whenever she wakes up." Daria grinned and sat on all fours.

"Sorry, I really do have to take this pain killers on schedule." She said. Suddenly, the pitcher of water that was on the table bubbled and emptied a little. The water then bubbled into a plastice cup next to it. And then the cup disintigrated on the table and then reappeared in Daria's hand. She drank some of it with one of the pills the doc gave her.

Deathstar presses hand on the scanner to open the door and walks inside the infirmary on schedule for doc proff lesson for the day. "Alright doc let's.....", she stops her train of thought and she notices two women and Iris. "Well! Well! Well!, look at what we have here!... oh let me guess girl scout meeting?" She says as she laughs to herself overhearing the girls talk about shopping. She continued walking shifting her attention toward the doc, "Doc I thought this was a private lesson, Not a Barbie's fan club meeting", she look at the other women with a grin on her face totally not noticing Iris condition.

Daria didn't know Deathstar but she couldn't tell if the girl was joking or actually that obnoxious. She kept her mouth shut though; she did know the girl was an Xmen in training and she didn't want to risk starting anything and then having the girl on her team during a mission-or having to train her.

"hey." she said finally.

Deathstar heard the woman speak, but never seen or met her, "And you are?" she says responding to the woman. "I guess the mansion let anyone or anything live here" she says as she raises her eyebrow while staring the cat looking woman. "Let me ask you this, when you bath do you use soap or cat shampoo?, oh!...I forgot you clean yourself with your own tongue right? obviously being sarcastic, Deathstar feeds off negative reactions. She looks over to Nika and Iris "....Hey" she nods her head toward the two and focuses her attention back on the doc.

Daria struggled not to hiss. "Weren't you at Tricity's baby's birth?"

Daria hadn't had any negative feelings toward the girl, just reservations. "I'm Daria, second in command of the Xmen and Ms. Tipper's assistant. I'd appreciate it if you were a bit more respectful." she said calmly.

The conversation paused as Deathstar entered the infirmary and started making comments. She had seen the girl before when Nika first got to the mansion but they never really spoke.

Nika continued to play blonde as she responded to Deathstar. "Oh man, I didn't bring a Barbie. I didn't know you had clubs like that here. Where's your doll at? Oh and depending on how dirty I get is what decides if I shower or clean myself." The young cat girl finished with an innocent smile.

Daria verbally put her foot down and Nika paused to listen. Apparently no one knew if Deathstar was serious or just very outspoken.

Deathstar turned around as Daria made her statement, She stood close to Daria's face and grin with an uninviting smirk upon her face. "Yes, I was present at Tricity's baby birth" she looked away for moment returning her eyes back on Daria, "A joyous occasion I may add" she said softly almost in a whisper.

"Second in Command!, I think we can do better, don't you think?", she says as she walks around circling Daria as if she is examining her. "You must not have met me, I'm Layla but call me Deathstar and I don't give a rats-ass about Respect", she stops circling her standing in front of her again, eyes peered and her eyebrows raised. "You have to earn it, besides I don't like cats, they leave fur everywhere!" she laughs out loud after saying her statement
