Movie Sign Theater 3000- Thursday evening

[throughaphase]

It'd be pretty sad to say that Kitty thought she deserved a pat on the back for managing to wait like 48 hours for date #2 with Clint. So she wouldn't say it, but if anyone wanted to pat her on the back anyway, the line started right over here.

While there were probably wiser choices than sitting in a dark theater watching what would probably amount to an awful movie, they weren't as fun. So with plenty of time before the show started and any needed concessions gotten, the most important question was asked when they got into the actual theater: "Where should we sit?"

She was going to take a wild guess here that they weren't going anywhere near the front.


[For he who gets to pick the seats!]

"It's not so much about hiding as... well, I don't think I know anyone who can do something amazing who hasn't had to pay some kind of price for their abilities," he said. "Have you always been able to do that?"

[throughaphase]

"Since I was thirteen. I'm a mutant," Kitty said, and she was fairly confident he wouldn't run screaming like a lot of people wanted to. "I've always had the gene, but I didn't know about it till I started falling through floors."

[so_hawkward]

Clint still didn't know a whole lot about mutants thanks movie universe, but he was a pretty difficult guy to faze overall. "That sounds unpleasant. I take it you have better control over it now?"

[throughaphase]

"Much. I mean, intangible's my natural state now," she admitted. "I'm solid because I want to be, and I'm really really stubborn."

Not joking, either.

[so_hawkward]

Clint looked at Kitty with something probably close to awe as he took that in. "Oh, wow. So, it's not like you turn your power on, it's like you're constantly making it stay off?"

[throughaphase]

"More or less. It's not hard to do anymore," she added quickly. "It's as natural as breathing now."

[so_hawkward]

"Still, that's a lot of effort to have to put into something," Clint said, cracking a smile. "Really, really stubborn, huh?"

[throughaphase]

"Yep. I've even got science to back me up on it." She smiled and patted his knee. "Good luck there."

[so_hawkward]

Clint smirked, and tried to put his hand over hers before she could move it away. "I don't need luck. I like a good challenge. Especially when it's in regards to someone who's pretty amazing." Sure, she said it was easy, but that didn't make her any less awesome.

[throughaphase]

Considering she seemed pretty incapable of passing up opportunities to touch him, her hand was going to stay right where it was. "You're only saying that because you don't know me very well yet," Kitty teased.

[so_hawkward]

"What, I don't know that I'm up for the challenge? Or I don't know that you're pretty amazing?" he asked. "Because I'm pretty sure about both of those things."

[throughaphase]

"I think you're pretty amazing, too," she told him. If she didn't, Wednesday wouldn't have seemed nearly as long.

[so_hawkward]

"Yeah, well, I don't have any kind of fancy powers. Maybe you don't know me yet very well either," he pointed out.

[throughaphase]

"Who says you need fancy powers to be amazing?" she countered.

[so_hawkward]

"Lots of people?" Clint suggested. "I mean, I know I'm pretty awesome. But I could be awesomer. Which I've decided is a word," he added after a moment.

[throughaphase]

"Give it a couple years, it'll be in Webster's," she agreed. "So okay, you go off saving the world and everything, without powers, and you don't think that's impressive?"

[so_hawkward]

"I don't usually go by myself," Clint pointed out. "Someone's pretty much always got my back."

[throughaphase]

She still didn't buy it. "Are you an Avenger here too?" she checked.

[so_hawkward]

"Kind of?" Clint said. "I mean, we're all here, technically, but some people are from different versions of our world, so it's weird. We did all manage to come together to save Tony's dumb ass though, so that might count."

[throughaphase]

She considered that, and said, "I think it does."

Kitty brought her hand up to kiss the top of his hand before settling back on his knee. "Then give yourself more credit. And remember the really, really stubborn thing."

[so_hawkward]

Clint grinned and gave her hand a soft squeeze. "I have a feeling you're not going to let me forget the stubborn thing. Not that I mind."

[throughaphase]

Kitty had to laugh at that. "Good, because otherwise we might have a problem there."

[so_hawkward]

It was awfully nice to be around someone who thought he deserved more credit than he could give himself. There were all kinds of smart comments Clint could make, but none of them seemed like a better idea than just leaning over and giving Kitty a quick kiss.

[throughaphase]

That was unexpected, and quick kiss or not, she was going to lean in a little closer than she had been. "Is that what being stubborn gets me? I'll take it."

[so_hawkward]

"It's what liking me gets you," Clint said with a laugh. "Being stubborn gets you me liking you back."
