Rachel Summers and Kitty Pryde: A Like-Like Story

[auggie18]

Okay, so one of my favorite not-really-a-canon-couple couples is Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers. (I guess her switching it to Grey didn't stick?)

Not there haven't been canon moments that hint at a slightly more intimate relationship. If you look at them in the right way. And are willing to see things that were probably not super intentional. (Then again, Claremont.)

ANYWAY!



What? Just some perfectly innocent full body hugging.



Yep. Just some good old heterosexual tucking in. Nothing more than that.



I, um. Huh.



...well.




Yep.






...hmm. (I know, I know, wrong Phoenix.)





D'aw.



I think I've figured out why Rachel's relationships tend not to last.




Ladies, take as much time as you need.

I think that was more of the 'insecure teenager wishes she looked more like an Interdimensional Super-Empowered Sexy Lady (tm) who brings all the boys to the yard, rather than an accidental slip. Given Kitty's personality for years was feeling inadequate around the various X-Men goddesses, that seems about right.

Correct. That statement is taken out of context for what's going on with Kitty at this time. She's feeling very insecure about her body image considering the curvy, busty, sexy Meggan and Rachel on the team. It's a re-occurring theme through out the Alan Davis run of Excalibur. She constantly finds herself in a situation where she's in outfits better suited for busty women and constantly out-shined by the "goddess" types around her. So her expression here is more of a "I'm an ugly duckling surrounded constantly by swans".
