The untold story of Kitty Pryde.

bandages for the wounded soul

*the next morning Kitty struggles in a wheelchair to take a shower then she is taken to a therapist where she stays silent and glares the whole hour and the therapist leaves the room to talk with Nick who has an annoyed face as he walks into the room*// Kitty- satisfied Sir * she glares*// Nick- cut the shit you aren't taking this serious// Kitty- stop forcing me to do shit or I swear to god I will snap! just back the fuck off!! by tonight I will be out of here and you can all stop with the mollycoddling me, get out go on! go away* 

* Kitty falls asleep as the door knocks and she opens her eyes blinking to adjust, Oliver Queen walks in with a bunch of flowers as she smiles through tired eyes*// Oliver- it's so good to see you alive * he kisses her head and puts the flowers aside*// Kitty- always good to see your face Ollie// Oliver- you had everyone worried there... heart stopped twice and yet here you are, triumphant as ever// Kitty- I don't feel it, what are you doing here// Oliver- I came to see you// Kitty- no you didn't// Oliver- no I didn't * Kitty smiles* well I did but I also have a favor... star  labs... Barry Allen the flash... can you set up a meeting with that Dr wheels guy// Kitty- Dr. Wells? I mean I could try// Oliver- perfect, can you call?// Kitty- what now?// Fliss- smooth, Oliver// Oliver- yes, asap... please// Fliss- she'll need to know why// Kitty- nah- uh save it, I will stay in the dark for this one * she grabs her cell and she calls Dr wells and he answers*// wells- Miss Pryde? how? I saw on the news what had happened, how are you? do you need anything// Kitty- I'm okay, I'm getting there. sorry this isn't a social call I have a friend here a Mister Oliver Queen and he has asked if I can set up a meeting for you guys if possible// Wells- I wasn't aware that you worked as his assistant// Kitty- Oliver is pushy as you can tell, barley alive and he is asking favors * Oliver smiles and wells chuckles*// Wells- well when is he looking to meet?// Oliver- * whisper* tonight at Queen consolidated// Kitty- did you catch that// Wells- I did yes, I can make it at 2, is that good for Mr Queen * Oliver nods*// Kitty- that would be perfect, thank you Dr Wells// Dr wells- and kitty, feel free to pass o my number to Mr Queen// Kitty- thank you, sorry to call you and I hope you weren't too busy// Wells- never to busy for you, Uh I have to go, we'll talk again soon// Kitty- can't wait, bye * she hangs up*// Fliss- you got him wrapped around your little finger// Kitty- shut up// Fliss- are you okay?// Kitty- yeah, fine * Fliss looks at here// Fliss- do you want to talk about it// Kitty- I just really want to get out of here and it is hard with everyone around me// Oliver- they're only trying to help// Kitty- and I don't need any help// Fliss- Oliver, maybe you should go. I'll get a cab back or something// Oliver- are you sure?// Fliss- yeah, we just need some alone time// Oliver- whatever you need, look it was good seeing you and I appreciate the meeting, I'll keep you guys in the loop * he leaves*// Fliss- god he is just so hot in that suit, I mean his ass looks amazing * Kitty pulls a face looking disgusted* oh come on, you know I can not resist a man in a suit and especially a mask, or in his case a hood... I am rambling but whats the goss?// Kitty- I saw a therapist today// Fliss- that's great, isn't it * Kitty shakes her head* why not?// Kitty- because I don't get to be low in my line of work// Fliss- maybe engaging will help you out * she looks at Fliss annoyed* right yeah, so what are we gonna do// Kitty- wait to be discharged, I still have't seen my team. I feel really bad// Fliss- where are you gonna stay when you leave?// Kitty- at the manor until I feel like myself * the doctor wheels her to physio as she stands and does her best to walk slowly*// Kitty- see I can walk, any chance that I can go home now?// Nurse- not just yet, I think that we are going to keep you in for a few just just to be on the safe side// Kitty- and if I refuse// Nurse- look.. I am gonna be honest with you.... given what you have been through and shield know that you have been hurting yourself if you refuse to stay I am under strict instructions to section you// Kitty- got it * Kitty looks at Fliss who looks tense* // Nurse- I don't want to do that to you, please just jump through the hoops they're presenting and play ball until you're discharged... not our problem then, if you know what I mean * the nurse and Kitty look at one another as the nurse smirks and Kitty suppresses a smile* I do need to warn you, therapist is pushing for meds... I don't think that is a good idea and have pushed forward for talking therapy// Kitty- I do love a bit of therapy but these last few weeks I am not ready to talk about// Nurse- you have ptsd, ptsd meds can help but after reviewing your medical file I will advise against it// Kitty- thank you // Nurse- I do hope that when you are ready to talk about it that you will reach out... we have a mutant therapist he is a great man// Kitty- no thank you// Nurse- I will pass on your details and he will contact you in a couple of weeks... just to be sure. we can always contact your old therapist * Kitty sighs annoyed as she is taken back to her room and  Fliss looks at her in the wheelchair sad*// Kitty- and you can stop looking at me like that// Fliss- looking at you like what, I'm not looking at you like anything. hey look Wolverine is here * Kitty turns as Logan walks in* hey Logan, how's it hanging? * Logan looks at Fliss confused* how are you?// Logan- yeah, fine. you?// Fliss- good and I am great, apart from the the fact Kitty is impossible to get a smile out of oh ad she refused a therapist// Kitty- fliss, stop talking now// Logan- right * he sits on the hospital bed and sighs* you know you have to play by shields rules and you refuse therapy// Kitty- I swear to god if more more person lectures me I am gonna go mad// Fliss- all the more reason to see a therapist// Kitty- stop! I am being serious now * Logan rolls his eyes and looks away* just act normal, that's all I want// Logan- team are waiting to see you, Charles has held them off until you're feeling upto it// Fliss- see that will give you some time to process it// Logan- Bruce been here// Fliss- no, are you avoiding him after the whole blame game// Kitty- what blame game? * Kitty looks at them both// Logan- great Felicity// Kitty- what are you talking about?// Fliss- when you we're waking up Bruce and Logan kinda had words// Kitty- what words? * she looks between them* tell me?!// Fliss- Bruce kinda blamed Logan for you being stabbed// Kitty- that is fucking bullshit and he should know that// Logan- but it is my fault, I knew I should have came with you// Kitty- You are not here to protect me, we have a job and these are the risks. is this why you have been off with me?// Logan- I haven't been off with you// Kitty- you have, is it because of this? * Fliss looks at Logan who exhales*// Logan- no, I feel liek it is my fault, whatever you say I will always be guilty over// Kitty- what else was said?/ Logan- I don't remember// Kitty- yes you do, I can see it on your face, just tell me// Fliss- he was yelling because Logan and you we're doing the deed and he didn't see your arms you know, because of// Logan- we get it! yeah I wasn't happy about that but he had a point// Kitty- you didn't see because I didn't want you to see// Logan- because you didn't trust me// Kitty- because I didn't wanna let you down, I didn't want you to see this and think of me this way and look at me the way you're looking at me now// Logan-  I ain't looking at you anyway// Kitty- yes you are, can we all just be happy I'm alive// Logan- that isn't the point Pryde// Fliss- at this point you were better off you know, biting the dust * Logan glares at Fliss as Kitty holds back a smile*// Logan- and that's funny * Kitty rolls her eyes annoyed*// Logan- no, you're taking this as a joke, and you know what wasn't a joke? watching you flatline multiple times// Kitty- like she said I would have been better off// Logan- you're hard work, how the fuck is that fair on us.
