25 Unicorn Street- early Thursday morning

[throughaphase]

Kitty hadn't thought much of the nightmares last night. It was weird for some of the stuff to come up after all this time, but she hadn't been that worried about it. Then came tonight (...this morning?), where she'd dreamt of being thirteen and on a table, having her memories removed and replaced with false ones, like everything about her was removed to turn her into a killing machine.

It was invasive, and terrible, and when she woke up she was left with the thought of just how hard it had been to come back from that, how much Logan had had to push her to make her own choices and work past the brainwashing when all she'd wanted to do was run. It wasn't even like she hadn't had to deal with Ogun twice since then, and the randomness and detail of this now actually made her mad.

She sat up in bed, rubbing her face, and apparently she was awake now.


[For the guy in the bed!]

"Did you have this last night, too?"

Ugh, this island, why.

"Yeah, I just didn't say anything. I thought it was a one-time nightmare," Clint said. "I guess it's been quiet for too long, huh?"

"The new mayor did get the timing right," Kitty said wryly.

Clint snickered and gave Kitty another hug. "Do you want to try to get back to sleep? Or do you think you're up for good?"

[throughaphase]

"Oh, I'm done with sleep," Kitty said immediately. "Maybe forever? We'll see."

"Then I say we find something ridiculous and funny to stream so we have something else to think about," he said. "And in case it wasn't clear, you're still the most amazing woman in the world."

"I love you," she said, leaning over to give him a kiss. "Let's have some ridiculous."
