The Holiday
Kitty and Logan were released from the hospital just a few days before Christmas. Kitty was frustrated to learn that Evelyn was called away for a family emergency, meaning she was on crutches until the Healer got back. She had managed to convince the doctors that she could handle the crutches and would not need the wheelchair like suggested. So, with a bit of help, Kitty managed to get upstairs to the family room where she stopped dead in her tracks. The entire room was littered with Christmas decorations, complete with a huge tree taking up residence in the corner of the room with a mountain of brightly wrapped presents underneath.
"Holy shit." Kitty looked up at Tony. "It's like Christmas threw up in here."
"Yeah, Steve went a little overboard with the decorations." Tony admitted with a grin as Kitty used her crutches to enter the room.
"Welcome home!" The group of people in the kitchen screamed in unison and Kitty couldn't help but smile. All of the Avengers were there, including Logan and Peter Parker. Even Deadpool, who was hiding in the corner, was present. He hadn't come to see her since the pain medication altercation in the hospital and Kitty was pretty sure Peter had guilted him into coming.
"Thank you, guys." Kitty said as she gave Steve a one-armed hug. "This means a lot to me."
The party only lasted an hour and a half before Tony interrupted it. "Okay, okay. I'm pretty sure she's tired." Tony reminded the group and Kitty couldn't even argue. She was exhausted from trying to keep up with the competing sounds in the background while trying to concentrate on conversations.
"Yeah," Kitty agreed as the crowd dispersed. "I just need to talk to Deadpool first." Kitty used her crutches to get over to the corner where Deadpool had stood the whole night. "Hey." She said softly.
Deadpool immediately pulled up his mask to his nose, having recognized the difficulty she was having hearing certain sounds. "Heard you were poisoned."
"Me and Logan were, yeah." Kitty nodded.
"Kinky." Deadpool paused before saying, "I'm-"
"I know." She interrupted. "I know why you did it, too."
"You're not mad?" Deadpool asked hopefully.
"A little." She admitted. "But not enough to hold a grudge." Kitty hugged him with one arm, then said, "Oh, by the way, I read those comic books you gave me."
"Really? How'd you like them?"
"I found them creepy as hell." Kitty laughed and tucked a strand of her behind her ear.
"Yeah," Deadpool sighed. "Just wait till you have your own movie."
"Ooh, I think I'd want Charlize Theron or Margot Robbie to play me."
"Charlize Theron is a little too old and definitely too tall. Margot Robbie wouldn't be bad," Deadpool nodded. "But isn't she Harley Quinn?"
Kitty just shrugged. "It wouldn't be the first time someone has crossed over into different franchises. Katie Cassidy?"
"Eh, the eyes aren't right. Maybe Natalie Dormer?"
Kitty nodded. "I could see that. Sabrina Carpenter?"
"I got it!" Deadpool revealed. "Emily Browning!"
Kitty's bottom lip quivered. "You think that I'm as pretty as Emily Browning? Awh, Sarge!" Kitty couldn't resist giving Deadpool another hug.
