''Of course you'd be with Kurt! Ready to get some training done?''

Tigress shrugged, feeling awkward as Jessie smiled in her direction. Tigress was about to ask the group something before she remembered the one thing she wasn’t supposed to forget. She scampered over to Jessie and grabbed her wrist, tugging her alongside her and away from the group. Tigress looked back and made sure that the two were out of ear-shot. Tigress nervously fumbled around in her pocket before pulling out a small, clear, square-shaped box. Inside, you could see about a dozen syringes filled with thick, clear liquid.

“Those… those are… umm…” Tigress held them shakily in her hand before handing them to Jessie. Tigress shook her hand and rubbed them on her pants, as if wiping something off of them. She huffed a breath before looking up (unfortunately) at Jessie. “They’re… they’re sedatives. Tony told me to give them to you to use on me if I get… out of hand.” Tigress shifted on her feet, as if uneasy about something.

“You have to understand. This isn’t a joke. There’s enough in those needles to kill three fully grown men. You can’t use them on anyone else, and only in dire situations. You just… stick it in my shoulder, arm or thigh, and I’ll pass out within seconds, and I’ll be out for a few hours.” She once again stared down at the ground, shuffling her feet. “Thing’s have been… weird lately. Ever since you guys left New York, my behavior has changed.” Tigress spoke as if she was describing some wild animal.

“I’ve been… snapping a lot faster. Its super weird. That’s why I’ve been very perky since I got here. I’m trying to remain happy so I don’t accidently maim someone.” Tigress huffed, nervously running her fingers through her hair.

“What are you guys talkin’ about over there? Why are you being so secretive? Aren’t we supposed to be training?” Tigress growled softly and glared at Kitty who shouted at the two from across the room.

“Let’s just go train…” Tigress sighed and walked back towards the others, her tail flicking around behind her irritably.

“So what should we start with?” Tigress asked, her tail swaying behind her rhythmically.
