25 Unicorn- Thursday

[throughaphase]

For the most part Kitty actually had a positive attitude about this whole not having a solid body thing. Sure, it sucked, really hard, for a lot of reasons, but she was alive and there was still a chance this wasn't her permanent state, and there was plenty to be positive about there!

And then after spending a morning trying to kick around baggage that kept falling around her- see, she could make it productive- she'd given up, put the suit back on, and sat on the couch for some mindlessness.

The meta for Ghost was on. And if that wasn't annoying enough, a giant trunk labeled "STUCK INTANGIBLE" fell right in front of the TV, blocking her view and sending poor Rook running into her lap.

"Now look what you did," Kitty glared at the trunk.

[Open!]

Clint grumbled a little as he came inside, kicking a box that said USELESS SUPERHERO away from the door. "I hate days like these," he said, closing the door a little harder than necessary. "Are you getting slammed too?"

[throughaphase]

"It's like I don't already know," Kitty grumbled at the trunk, cuddling Rook. "Your box is wrong."

[so_hawkward]

"Not entirely. I am the only one without powers," Clint pointed out. "Some of these boxes don't make sense. Is yours supposed to make you feel bad? I mean, I know it's bad, but..."

[throughaphase]

"I mean, it is some pretty heavy baggage right now," Kitty shrugged. "Literally and figuratively."

[so_hawkward]

"I'm sorry," Clint said, sitting down next to her. "Are you still feeling the same? Has there been any news about getting you back to normal?"

[throughaphase]

Kitty shook her head. "Jessica's looking into some stuff, but according to Dr. Rao, basically if I'm ever going to get solid again I have to suck it up and make it happen."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, that's helpful. Because you're not trying or anything," Clint said with a sigh. "I wish I could say the brainiacs at SHIELD came up with something good, but they're clueless too. I mean, I only gave them hypothetical info to work with, so they're at a disadvantage, but still."

"It's part of the fun of being the only person on Earth with these powers," Kitty told him. "At least I know I can do this. I did it before. It's just a lot harder this time."

[so_hawkward]

"Is there anything I can do? I'll cheerlead you all you want as long as no one ever sees the pictures," he said.

[throughaphase]

"And that's why I love you. And why I'm tempted to throw pom poms at you," Kitty smiled. "As long as you put up with me, that's all I can ask you to do."

Don't think she didn't worry about how things would go if she couldn't get back to normal.

[so_hawkward]

"Putting up with you isn't that hard. That whole crazy-in-love with you thing makes it easy," Clint said.

[throughaphase]

"When I can't even really touch you," she pointed out. "I haven't been able to kiss you in like a month."

[so_hawkward]

"I know. And I miss that. I miss getting to hold you more than anything," Clint said. "Which sounds goofy, and I'll deny it if you tell anyone."

[throughaphase]

"I miss that too," she said, turning herself a little to rest against him a little. "I'm ready to be over with this. Get back to the good stuff."
