25 Unicorn Street- Sunday evening

[throughaphase]

There had been some new people the last couple weeks, a couple loops to be thrown for, and naturally Kitty figured that one thing to do about it was to invite the grumpy alternate universe version of her mentor/big brother type figure to dinner to meet her family.

When you came from the world she did and had spent this much time in Fandom, this was completely reasonable and not uncomfortable at all. Sorry, Logan.

The place was ready, the pizza was ordered, and now Kitty was waiting to see if he'd actually show up.


[For those two!]

"You're one of those... Avengers, right?" The team that rejected Wade. That one?

[throughaphase]

"There's a few here," Kitty said.

[so_hawkward]

"Yeah, there's me, Steve, Wanda--Thor and Tony too, but they're not the same as the ones I know. It's a... complex map."

It was a hot mess, but that seemed meaner.

[theworst_verine]

Look, he was talking to two X-Men. A hot mess was kind of par for the course.

"It seems like it," Logan agreed, huffing a little laugh. "Know a guy who wanted to be one."

[throughaphase]

"Who's that?" Kitty wondered.

[theworst_verine]

"Wade Wilson. Deadpool?" Oh yeah, that guy.

And did he almost sound fond when he said that?

[throughaphase]

"Mixed feelings on that guy," Kitty admitted. She did not like hers! "Though I think at least back home everybody gets to be an Avenger at some point."

[so_hawkward]

"That's because we're the best and everyone wants to be like us," Clint said proudly. "I don't know if I want to think about having Tony and Wade on the team at the same time though, that might create a black hole of sarcasm."

[theworst_verine]

"I think he's moved on from that." Through the magic of saving the timeline and all that. "So, you're all safe from it."

[throughaphase]

Kitty clearly had thoughts on the 'Avengers are the best' thing, but it also was not the first time she'd heard it.

"Sucks for him, though," she said. "You hang out with Deadpool?"

[so_hawkward]

"I've run into him a few times in New York. He's surprisingly good about the whole--" He waved vaguely to his hearing aids. "--thing. But not someone I want to work with for long periods of time. Present company is much better."

[theworst_verine]

"Lived with him for a little bit," Logan said carefully, trying to ascertain what Clint meant there. "It wasn't the worst. Discussions on cocaine aside."

Damn you, Feige.

[throughaphase]

"Oh, that would explain a lot," Kitty said immediately.

Lexi didn't know what cocaine was yet, right?

[so_hawkward]

Not if Clint had anything to say about it!

"Well, you'll have some peace and quiet now. Mostly," he said. "I assume you've gotten the warnings about how weird things can be?"

[theworst_verine]

"Like magic and shit?" Lexi was right there, Logan!

[throughaphase]

"Maybe PG it up some," Kitty suggested. "Some people do magic, probably, but more like you might turn into a kid or a girl."

[so_hawkward]

Clint put his hand over Lexi's mouth to keep the inevitable swear from coming out of her. "Or an animal, if karma catches up to you."

"Daddy turns into a hawk," Lexi added, a little muffled.

[theworst_verine]

He earned his R rating, how dare you two.

"Seriously?"

[throughaphase]

"If you turn into an actual wolverine, just don't be surprised," Kitty advised.
