25 Unicorn Street, Sunday

[so_hawkward]

When Clint had looked outside and noticed the rain, he started to question whether or not he wanted to take his sore, bandaged body outside to walk Lucky.

When Clint had looked outside and noticed the shark rain, he hid the leash in the closet. "Sorry boy, you've got to hold it for a little while."

Lucky looked out the window too at that, and didn't seem to have any complaints.

By the time Kitty got from the Kwik Stop back to Clint's, she was wet, and tired, and since he knew she was coming over she just went ahead and phased through the wall, trying not to drip on the floor.

"Pretty sure I just concussed a hammerhead on the way here."

[so_hawkward]

"What the hell?" Clint said, getting up from the couch to go over to her. "Are you all right?"

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, I'm fine," she assured him, a little hesitant to touch him while dripping. "Just wet, and ugh. Ugh."

[so_hawkward]

Yeah, well, Clint didn't mind getting a little wet, judging from how he was pulling her into a hug. "How does it rain sharks? I just--yes, ugh."

[throughaphase]

Okay, well, she was totally glad for the hug, though she was still being careful considering he'd like broken his torso the other day. "I've decided Fandom is grounded, and I want to go somewhere where there are no sharks."

You'd think that would be anywhere. You'd think.

[so_hawkward]

"Are you just saying that, or do you mean it?" Clint asked. "We could go somewhere? Without sharks or rain or anyone who knows us?"

[throughaphase]

"I think I mean it," she said. "At least it doesn't rain sharks anywhere else, you know?"

[so_hawkward]

"That we know of." Not that Clint was wary or anything. "Are you sure you're not hurt?"

[throughaphase]

"Totally fine," Kitty told him. "A little freaked at having been swimming with sharks without knowing it, but I'll live. Mind if I make with the clothes-stealing? I'm kind of tired of these."

[so_hawkward]

"Absolutely. It'll make my clothes smell like you," Clint said with a smirk. "Lucky is fully prepared for cuddling, but that's his typical state."

[throughaphase]

"And this is why you're my favorite boys," Kitty grinned, leaning in to give him a kiss. "I'll be right back."

[so_hawkward]

"Aww, did you hear that Lucky, we're her favorite," Clint said, scratching Lucky's head as they headed back for the couch. As much as Clint might have been pretending to be strong, he really did need to rest a little, when Kitty wasn't looking.

[throughaphase]

Kitty went upstairs and was gone just long enough to get out of her wet clothes and hang them up to dry a little. She came back downstairs in one of his shirts and a pair of boxers, basically because she could, and came to sit with them on the couch. "This is so much better, you don't even know."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh yes, so much better," Clint said, sliding his hand up Kitty's leg because hey, contact was comforting, right? "You're not leaving again until everything's back to normal, fyi."

[throughaphase]

"Oh, is that so?" she asked, shifting a little closer if he was going to do that to her leg.

And yeah, she hadn't been planning on leaving for a while.

[so_hawkward]

"Yup. And I'm willing to use whatever tricks I have to to keep you from leaving, so you probably just shouldn't even try," Clint said with a solemn nod.

[throughaphase]

"But this is the perfect shark-killing outfit," Kitty teased.

[so_hawkward]

"You are not getting shark bits all over my clothes," Clint said, pressing himself closer. "And I just got you here and you're starting to get dry again..."

[throughaphase]

"You did just get hurt a couple days ago," Kitty pointed out, since that was a big worry for her.

[so_hawkward]

"I'm fine," Clint said automatically. "Wait, no, I mean, you're right, I'm still hurt and I can't function by myself. Does that mean you'll stay?"

[throughaphase]

Kitty giggled, leaning more against him. "Yes. Though which one of those gets me to stay longer?"

[so_hawkward]

"I might still be feeling bad for the whole rest of the day," Clint said, putting his hand on his side, though not where Kitty was resting against him because that was just fine. "I'll totally repay you for taking care of me."

[throughaphase]

"Well, with that kind of promise, I guess it'd be terrible of me if I didn't stay all day," she said, like there was anything at all to consider here.

[so_hawkward]

Lucky wedged himself against the side of Kitty that wasn't pressed against Clint, because he was the best backup ever.

"It wouldn't be terrible. It just wouldn't be smart, and you're very smart," Clint said with a grin.

If Clint was paying attention out his window, he would see a shower of glass from the storefront of the vacant business next door exploding out into the street as Batman rode a shark that was apparently desperate to escape. He held on as it flopped down the street, bucking wildly to lose the caped crusader to no avail. With every leap, Batman drove another punch into the shark's belly, until the process of flopping around was too painful.

Only then did Batman get up and fire a grapple at another shark whizzing through the air above. And then, he was gone, off to take down another straggler.
