Bruce wasn't going to call back about this issue. Clearly it was an issue for the authorities.
"Hello. I'd like to give an anonymous tip. I've come to understand that somebody in town is looking to punch a kitten. Repeatedly. I don't have a name, but the suspect is male. So please be on the look-out for a boy who looks like he wants a cat-fight, if you will."
"I trust you'll use this information appropriately."

"Hello, Ms Pryde. This is Phil Coulson. You may remember me from last week. I know this is short notice, but I'd like to use the back room at Caritas for an Olympic viewing party tomorrow. It seems like a good place to have some drinks and show blind nationalism in sports."
"Please let me know if we can make this happen as soon as possible. I just opened Photoshop and I'd like to post flyers around town ASAP if it's happening. Thank you."

Maybe Topher had Kitty's phone number through legitimate game-night-planning means. Maybe he had it because he had tech skillz at his disposal. It would always be a mystery.
Unless someone asked him, probably.
Anyway, it was booze night, the night of ill-advised texts, and so:
LiVE ACTION ANGRY BIRDS NEXT GAME NIGHT Y/Y?
Topher, don't take away the thing that made Warren special.

And sadly, Kitty wasn't used to drunk texts.
Kitty had sort of failed at treating college like a college student.
Like with real birds?

no like with warren, Topher explained. he"s an x-man with wings.
That was helpful! Wasn't that helpful?
That was helpful! Wasn't that helpful?
Yeah, I know him. I don't know that Warren'd be cool with that...
Topher's response was just a picture of Warren flying toward a wall. Doing the whole Angry Bird thing.
Soooo... yeah.
Soooo... yeah.
So! Guess who hadn't expected that!
WTF ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
Said she who'd never had a guy slingshot her at a monster or anything before, really.

Topher, the all-caps was one thing. The spelling was another.

Willingly???
Again, like she'd never done something like it, but it was for work, which totally made it better.

yup! See, it was legit, Kitty! do you want to play cuz i think drinking nights are guys only but if we did it OFFICIALLY you could like phase everywhere. to cheat.
...Probably not.
...Probably not.
She could walk on air...
Wait, you guys are drinking and throwing Warren at walls? This sounds ill-advised.

What, did she think his spelling was this bad all the ti-- okay, that held up.
ITS OKAY, Topher promised. WARREN IS DRINKING TO.O
That made it okay. Yes.

That made it okay. Yes.
Topher did not seem the type to edit all his typos, let's say.
Oh that helps.
She did not think it helped.

Somehow (don't ask how, precisely), Bobby had gotten ahold of Topher's phone. And after squinting at the text messages, was dialing Kitty.
"I wouldn't worry too much," he said into her voicemailor directly to her if she wanted to pick up, whichever. "He volunteered. And he's got this whole healing thing going on, so..."
"I wouldn't worry too much," he said into her voicemail
Oh, she totally picked up. Yes she did.
"And how drunk is he? Or you?" she asked... tiny Bobby. God, this was still weird sometimes.
Because if everyone was sober she'd totally be asking Warren if he wanted to do this for game night. Drunk, not so much.

"Uh," Bobby frowned, trying to think that out. "Very? But it's cool. We don't get hangovers."
You and Warren didn't get hangovers, Bobby. Everyone else on the other hand...

"I'm going to laugh really hard when I hear radio with everyone hating themselves in the morning," Kitty said.
Except Bobby and Warren.
Except Bobby and Warren.
"Oh, the chances of us waking up on island are... slim," Bobby confessed. "Once we ended up in Madripoor. And another time we were in Canada."
"...Where are you now?" she checked, suddenly worried she was talking to someone in Timbuktu or something.
"Ummm, the Drunken Unicorn," Bobby admitted. "Buuuut there might be some safari plans later? I think Tony and Ben are gathering tiki torches."
"You guys have way more fun than I do."
Yes. Yes, they did.
Yes. Yes, they did.
"Yeah, we really do," Bobby said shamelessly. "Hey! Hey! You and me should hang out more before I go back home. Sometime."
"Sure. I have no life, so I'm always around," she said. Okay, that wasn't entirely true, but she said it anyway. "Just let me know when."
