The thing about living with Natasha was that she made Clint want to be a cleaner, more organized version of himself. Now that she wasn't here, it hadn't taken long for Clint to slip back into being, well, himself. What was left of his dinner was still sitting in the pot he'd cooked it in and eaten it out of, although to his credit it was positioned on the coffee table out of Lucky's reach. He was lying on the couch, with Lucky at his side on the floor and Rook perched on his chest while he tried to find something decent to watch on television. Surely, some channel was showing syndicated repeats of Dog Cops. If he had to settle for reality TV, he was going to be annoyed.

When Kitty's portal dropped her off in Fandom, she didn't even bother to go to her own apartment first. Instead she went to Clint's, still carrying her overnight bag, and stuck her head through the door. "Miss me?"

throughaphase: (all the frustrations!)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
The half-frustrated, half-strangled sound she made as she came all the way inside and dropped her bag by the door should answer that.

"Yes," she said, coming to sit next to him (but not without letting the dogs hello first). "I have spent almost all my time since last night dealing with students freaking out about a new so-called mutant cure, so there's that."

"From what they're saying, the mutations themselves. If I took it, no more phasing ever," Kitty said. "Because of course having an extra gene is something that needs to be cured."

Even if she'd spent last night trying to keep people calm, she wasn't happy about this at all.

"It's probably going to get worse," Kitty said with a sigh. "I was trying to talk Emma down from actually killing the scientist behind this, but the thing is, she's not wrong. There are already people who would have us registered or sterilized or hauled off to camps if they could. If this gets into the wrong hands, it could be messy. And that's not including things like the self-hating mutants and those who are fine with what they are but their families aren't..."

"Getting it to the ones who want it, you mean?" she checked.

"Yeah. I mean, I've seen Rahne think she was evil because of her powers and Kurt's been chased by angry European mobs because of how he looks and don't even get me started on Rogue," she said. "But that's tricky, too. Because there isn't anything wrong with being a mutant, and what are other mutants supposed to think when you voluntarily give that up... No matter how it goes, it's a mess."

throughaphase: (stoic)

"Thanks," she said. "So yeah, the kids are freaking out, I had to make Scott promise to call me if anyone tried to assassinate any scientists, but I'm not entirely sure Emma's not pulling his strings, so. And then Hank's considering actually taking the cure, so he and Logan wrecked a wall of the lab fighting over it, SHIELD won't help us with anything at all, and also we got to face off against a new alien guy we know nothing about."

It'd been an eventful 48 hours.

"Oh, and I was on the news, I think. Reporters are idiots."

"I'm not so sure about that," she said, and she was just gonna stay close to him. "A mutant took out New York. It's kind of hard to align yourselves with mutants right after that. Even if half our goal is to change our image."

throughaphase: (optimistic)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"You're doing awesome at helping me," she assured him, smiling a little. "It's just... different than I thought it'd be. I don't know if it's because I'm used to being a student or if it's just because my world sucks for mutants more than usual now, or if it's just that I'm a PR stunt/watchdog, apparently. It's gotta get easier, right?"

Date: 2014-09-26 08:04 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (hmm)

"I'm gonna cross my fingers because this is not allowed to be my life forever," she decided.

"I don't even have a mask and code name to hide behind anymore," Kitty said. "I am a crazy person."

throughaphase: (okay well)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"No mask with the new costume," she said. "Everyone else on the team is outed. We stopped some lizardy guy holding a benefit hostage and when the reporters asked what I called myself, I had no idea what to say."

"I'm honestly not any more worried than I was before," Kitty admitted, turning her head to kiss his cheek. "I'm not going to be googling myself anytime soon, but maybe it's a good thing. Showing I'm one of the good guys by just being myself."

"Yaaay, I'm doing something right," Kitty smiled.

Archery opportunities in Brazil less than ideal. Practice when I'm in Fandom next y/n?

Chief of Staff to the Hegemon sending out some very important text messages, here.

From: [personal profile] whenshewasnice
More like I don't want to get sued for injuring a staff member in the compound gardens.

Sure, she could probably have asked Peter for funding for a range, but. There were probably better uses for that money.

whenshewasnice: ([neu] Sighworthy.)
From: [personal profile] whenshewasnice
Ahaha.

Well, maybe she was back to some form of fun these days. But there'd been some rough times.

We had a coup. But it's over now. How is Fandom?

whenshewasnice: (Do not feel like it.)
From: [personal profile] whenshewasnice
Come over here and take my place the next time a crazy guy tries to kill us and we have to flee to space.

So that had been a thing.

Guaranteed lack of boredom.

Wasn't really a maiming situation.

Because their fleeing had been pre-emptive. Although ultimately very smart.

But thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Mostly I'm looking to not be in that situation again, though.

Because, you know. There was the thing where the culprit had been shot at point blank range right in front of her. But she wasn't going to get into that over text.

Capslock and the extra L both.

That's when I'm needed most, though. But I'll try and visit sometime soon, anyway.

I've had enough Parents Weekends to last me a while. So maybe next weekend.
