There are people on the streets, but they all feel stiff and manufactured to Selina's eye: going about their days with none of the flair of life. There aren't even any bums sleeping under cardboard in the alley, and that's just downright weird.

Stopping next to a dumpster, she cranes her head up, then pulls Tits off her shoulder. She's gentle but firm, and hands the kitten out to Fives.

"Seriously? Why is it weird?" She's not sure how to answer that, so she just sighs. "Hold her for a sec."

Once her hands are free, she closes the dumpster lid and pulls herself on top, using its height to jump and grab the bottom rung of the fire escape's ladder. She uses her weight to pull it down, and perches there, looking at Fives.

"Can you climb with her?"
