6x06 - Promises Kept
//Heard that tumblr was being...interesting.
They deserve to be visited by this fella!
Stupidity often requires payment.
My sister calls it the Stupid Tax...
Kita didn’t give two shits what the people in town thought of her, but if any of them spoke ill of Stone, there would be hell to pay. So far they just avoided her, especially when she had first started going out, looking for him. She had been a wreck then.
And he was absolutely right in his assumption. Kita would rather make herself uncomfortable than allow him to exacerbate his injuries or put himself back on HYDRA’s radar. “Of course I’m up for it. It’s buying groceries, not fighting all of HYDRA single handedly.” She shot him a smirk in return.
“As long as you try,” the woman said quietly. “That’s all I’ll ask.” She tried to give him a reassuring smile, even though it was tinged with sadness.
Stone knew his being gone had resulted in changes but Kita pulling a 180 on going out and into town was not expected. He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or what. He shook his head.
“No that’s normally my thing.” He got up to put his bowl in the sink. “You know you don’t have to if you don’t want to.” He moved to lean against the counter. He almost suggested they both go but the odds of that being accepted was pretty small. He was still beat up and probably too jumpy for his own good.
“I know.” He nodded. He’ll probably spend more time staring at the dark ceiling with his good eye than sleeping but he’d try. Not like there was much else he was allowed to actually do.

Getting rid of the last of the glass, Kita sighed. Starting a fight hadn’t been her intention, but that could easily have been the outcome. Luckily they were both too exhausted for that, and knew each other too well. He recognized her outburst for what it was—a lash of temper. And she knew well enough to rein herself back in.
“Pretty sure you’re right about that.” She pressed her shoulder to his lightly, hoping it would make it clear that she didn’t want him to leave. She worried, and she’s rather have him close.
Stone let her finish cleaning the glass, trying to think about what else needed to be done. It was taking a lot more effort than he would have liked. He was just not at the top of his game. They both knew it.
“Pretty sure we both have reason.” He sighed, going to get a towel to soak up the liquor. If he wasn’t leaving he might as well help.
DEADPOOL (2016) Starters;
This is a (more-or-less) complete list of quotes from the film. Send a quote, or just send “💀💩L” for a random starter. Change pronouns as necessary. NSFW; includes strong language, sexual references, mentions of cancer, animal abuse, ableist/transphobic language, etc.

“I didn’t order the pizza.”

“I’ve been thinking. About why we’re so good together.”
“Your crazy matches my crazy, big-time.”
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you- but only because you haven’t gotten around to asking me.”

“That’s my line.”
“Oh, I feel just like a little girl!”
“Aww, Star Wars jokes.”
“Jesus Christ, it’s like I made you in a computer!”
“Pee break.”
“Here’s the thing: life is an endless series of trainwrecks with only brief commercial-like breaks of happiness. This has been the ultimate commercial break, which means it’s time to return to our regularly scheduled programming.”
“You’re clowning…you’re not clowning.”
“You look like you need a blowjob and a shower.”
“Can I help you with something?” ( optional: “Besides luring children into a panel van?” )

“This is my most prized possession.”

“You finally hit fuck-it.”
“Nothing warms my heart more than a change of someone else’s.”
“Just promise you’ll do right by me. So I can do right by someone else.”
“Please don’t make the super-suit green. Or animated!”
“This place looks sanitary.”
“My first request is warmer hands. Jesus, and a warmer bed!”
“Aren’t you a little strong for a lady?” ( optional: “I’m calling wang!” )
“I’m just excited for my first day of superhero camp!”
“We have another talker.”
“Is ____ your real name? Because it sounds suspiciously made-up.” ( optional: “What is it really? Mitch? Kevin? Bruce? The Rickster? Is it Basil Fawlty?” )
“My opening speech used to be full of euphemisms, like “This may hurt a little” and “You may experience some discomfort”…”
“You’ve heard the whole “make an omlette, break some eggs” bit, yeah?
“I no longer feel pain. In fact, I no longer feel anything.”
“You have something in your teeth.”
“Ahh, made you look!”
“One thing that never survives this place is a sense of humor.”
“What- you’re just going to leave me with angrier Rosie O’Donnell, here?”
“In order for this to work, we have to cause you intense pain.”
“Anything on my bucket list would have to involve public nudity.”
“Hey, don’t take any shit from him. After all, how tough can he be with a name like _______?”
“You are so relentlessly annoying.”
“Why don’t you do us all a favour and shut the fuck up before I sew that pretty mouth shut?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”
“What’s my name?”
“Enjoy your weekend.”
“Fucking hell! Looks like someone just lost his shot at homecoming king!”

“This ain’t a life worth living, is it?”
“I’m gonna do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the 90′s!”

“Benefits of being a superhero? They pull down a gaggle of ass. Dry-cleaning, coffee shops, lucrative movie deals, including spin-offs as well as larger ensemble movies…”
“They’re all lame-ass teacher’s pets!”
“You know I can hear you?”
“Wasn’t talking to you!”
“I don’t have time for your X-Men bullshit, ________!”
“Who’s this? Your sidekick?”
“_________? What the shit? That’s the coolest name ever!”
“Can we go?”
“Look at me! I’m a teenage girl! I’d rather be anywhere than here! I’m all about long sullen silences, punctuated by mean comments, followed by more sullen silences! So, what’s it gonna be? Long sullen silence, or mean comment?”
“You got me in a box here, dude.”
“You’re really gonna fuck this up for me?”
“It’s not like I’m hurting anyone!”
“That guy was already up there when I got here!”
“Oh, your poor wife!”
“All the dinosaurs feared the T-Rex.”
“You ever hear about the one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest?”
“Do you have an off-switch?”
“Yeah, it’s right next to the prostate. Or is that the on-switch?”
“This is embarrassing.”
“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me!”
“You ever seen 127 Hours? Spoiler alert.”
“Are you there, God? It’s me, ________!”
“Rock, meet bottom.”
“You are…haunting.”
“You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado.”
“You look like Freddy Krueger face-fucked a topographical map of Utah.”
“You look like a testicle with teeth.”
“You will die alone.”
“Captain _______…no. Just ________. Definitely just ________.”
“________. That sounds like a fucking franchise.”
“Tell me where your fucking boss is, or you’re gonna die!” ( optional: “…in five minutes!” )
“Is it sexist to hit you? Is it more sexist not to hit you? This is so confusing!”
“I’ll take a footlong. Fully loaded.”
“You’re looking very alive.”
“You might wanna look away for this.”
“This little piggy went to…”
“Seltzer water and lemon for blood. Or wear red.”
“I got blood in your garbage.”
“A fourth wall break inside a fourth wall break? That’s like, sixteen walls.”
“She’s like the Robin to my Batman.”
“Smells like old lady pants in here!”
“Yes, I’m old. Yes, I wear pants.”
“Ah, but you’re no lady.”
“Ohh, so comfy!”
“How’s the Kullen coming along? Ikea doesn’t assemble itself, you know.”
“Please. Anything’s an improvement over the Hurdal. I’d have taken a Hemnes or a Trysil over a Hurdal.”
“Screw, please.”
“Just kidding, I know it’s been decades.”
“You’d be surprised.”
“Pretty grossed out.”
“Hashtag drive-by.”

“It’s about the size of a KFC spork.”
“I’ll bet it feels huge in this hand.”
“Found out who our friend in the red suit is.”
“We’ll put him out of our misery.”
“Can I get you anything? Maybe some clothes that aren’t monochromatic?”
“I’m looking for a friend of mine. Was wondering if you could help.”
“Uh, sweetheart, you might want to look behind you.”
“Probably not the best place to do that.”
“That’s alright, we’ve got everything we need.”
“Enjoy your midnight screening of Blade II.”
“We got a serious fucking problem, and by we I mean you.”
“Is there a word that means afraid and angry at the same time?”
“Have you decided what you’re gonna say to her?”
“Fuck me!”
“Uh, maybe not start with that.”
“You can’t buy love, but you can rent it for three minutes.”
“Go get ‘em, tiger.”
“Every time I see her, it’s like the first time. Especially from this angle.”
“Some guy was asking for you. Something about an old boyfriend.”
“I knew it was you.”
“You have ____ to thank for this.”
“Motherfucker! Cock-juggling jiminy-fuck!”
“That’s the shit emoji. You know, the turd with the smiling face and the eyes? I thought it was chocolate yogurt for so long…”
“I need all the guns!”
“That’s all the pieces in the apartment.”
“Careful, Ronnie Milsap! We’re downrange!”
“I have to admit, this is holding my interest.”
“I’d go with you, but…I don’t want to.”
“45 cal. I like it.”
“If I never see you again, I just want you to know that I love you, very much.”
“Wanna get fucked up?”
“Ripley! From Alien 3!”
“Fuck, you’re old!”
“Ha-ha! Fake laugh, to hide the pain!”
“That bad guy you let get away stole my girl, and you’re going to help me get her back!”
“____? Is that you?”
“Yeah, it’s me, ________, and I’m here to make you an offer you can’t refuse!”
“I’ll just wait out here.”
“It’s a big house. It’s weird that I only ever see two of you.”
“…And that is why, in my opinion, the movie Cocoon is pure pornography.”
“I’m so proud of you.”
“He’s so dead.”
“Cue the music.”
“Hey- where’s your duffel bag?”
“We’re just going to have to do this the old-fashioned way: with two swords, and maximum effort.”
“Thanks, dickless.”
“You’ve got the wrong girl.”
“My boyfriend’s dead.”
“See, I thought that too. But he just keeps coming back. Like a cockroach.”
“I may not feel, but he does.”
“Let’s see how he fights with your head on the block.”
“Oh, I’ma fuckin’ spell it out for ya.”
“That’s why I brought him!”
“I prefer not to hit a woman.”
“I mean…that’s why I brought her?”
“Oh no, please. Finish your tweet. Go on. Hashtag it.”
“Finish fucking her the fuck up!”
“Language, please!”
“Suck a cock!”
“Look away, child! LOOK AWAY!”
“I’m gonna give ya’ll a chance to lay down your firearms in exchange for preferential, gentle, possibly even lover-like treatment.”
“That is so sweet!”
“Does he write you notes too?”
“Climb on!”
“You were right, red really is my color.”
“I hope they blocked pain to your every last nerve, ‘cause I’mma go looking!”
“You grow back body parts? When I’m finished, parts will have to grow back you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m gonna get you out of that shitbox!”
“Let’s dance, and by dance I mean let’s try to kill each other!”
“I’ve played a lot of roles. Damsel in distress ain’t one of them.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this under control!”
“I got a plan. You’re not gonna like it.”
“Just take it slow.”
“You really thought there was a cure for that?”
“It sounds even stupider when you say it.”
“As stupid as admitting you can’t do the one thing I’m keeping you alive for?”
“Four or five moments. That’s all it takes to become a hero. Everyone thinks it’s a full-time job- wake up a hero, brush your teeth a hero, go to work a hero- not true.”
“Over a lifetime, there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you’re offered a choice to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend…spare an enemy.”
“You were droning on and on!”
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m just a boy who’s about to stand in front of a girl, and tell her…what the fuck am I going to tell her?!”
“I deserved that- and that- ah, maybe not the nethers-!”
“Start talking!”
“I live in a crack house with 12 other people. Every night we spoon for warmth…everyone fights for Noelle, she’s the fattest. There’s nothing we don’t share. Floor space, dental floss…even condoms.”
“So you live in a house?”
“Hey after a period of adjustment and a shitload of drinks, it’s a face I’d be happy to sit on.”
“I should’ve come and found you sooner.”
“The guy under this mask, he ain’t the same one that you remember.”
“I’m not the same under this suit, either. Super-penis.”
“Go be a really, really big brother to someone!”
“Tell _____ to quit shitting on my lawn!”
“And you, Sinead O’Connor- Nothing Compares 2 U!”
“And now for the moment I’ve all been waiting for.”
“You’re still here? It’s over. Go home!”
“What were you expecting, Sam Jackson show up with an eyepatch and a saucy little leather number?”
“We don’t have that kind of money.”
“Don’t leave your garbage all lying around. It’s a total dick move.”
hydrawillfall:
More guilt. She knew full well what a struggle his bad days could be. Kita wished she had some sort of alternative that would work for him. She went for runs to clear her head when it got to be too full of thoughts and memories.
“I’ve got it,” she murmured, leaving to return with a towel and clean up the mess, careful to gather all of the glass.
“I’m sorry.” Her voice was low. “I worry.”
Stone nodded as she accepted the responsibility of clean up. He’d intended to leave but honestly he wasn’t sure what to go do. They had work that needed to be done so that they could get the house back to where it was but he was sure neither of them were in the mood. He rubbed at his temple. “Pretty sure we’re both too good at that.”
hydrawillfall:
“No, they certainly won’t,” she replied, returning the grin. She would protect him until the day she died—she’d sworn that to herself. Joseph Stone was a good man, crazy perhaps, but good, and the best thing that had ever happened to her. Kita wouldn’t let harm come to him, not without a fight.
“I can go out, Stone,” the woman offered. It made her nervous, still, to leave the house, but she was doing better now than she had been before. She didn’t like the idea of leaving him alone either, but it was what it was. They didn’t have much choice. “It’s not a problem anymore.”
When she’d finished eating, Kita stood, taking her bowl to the sink. “You sleeping tonight?” she asked. He needed it, that she knew. She hoped he would at least try to sleep.
Stone nodded. He sometimes wondered what people in town thought but in all honesty he didn’t care. He hadn’t in a very long time. He was just curious what the rumors were about the woman that had just seemed to show up. He shrugged it off.
He raised his eyebrow at that. Last he knew she hated going out. He smirked when she said it wasn’t a problem. He found that a bit hard to believe. She just preferred her own discomfort to him being out and about in his battered state. “Well, if you think you’re up for it.”
He finished his meal and debated waving off the question but she’d probably push on this topic. “I’ll attempt to.” He suddenly found the empty bowl very interesting. “But no promises.”
The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.
Nikos Kazantzakis (via emperiamall)
“I’m going to say more—but if any of them so much as look at you wrong they can deal with me, so what does it matter.” Kita kept stirring the pot of spaghetti, something to focus on. A pause and she looked up, back at him. “But I don’t think that you should be going out any time soon anyways.” She said it like it was a suggestion, but if he tried to leave and go out now, there would be a fight.
The food done, she drained the noodles and poured some into a bowl for each of them, handing him his. “It’s good to have you home, Stone,” she said quietly.
For now she would leave out the part where she owed SHIELD a favor for their help.
Stone nodded. He could see the logic. “The poor fools wont know what hit them.” He grinned. He appreciated the fact she’d act as his protector. It was something he was still accepting.
He nodded again, he figured she wouldn’t want him out and about. “I guess there are ways to get supplies delivered.” He had done that in the very beginning, for a while a few loyal SHIELD friends would help him out but he was never much for company so they eventually stopped coming around. He had started the store runs if only for a reason to check the town hadn’t become overrun with crime or HYDRA. His town may not look at him the same but it was still the place his family had lived.
He offered her a small smile as he accepted the bowl. “Thanks.”
She saw him tense, and a pang of guilt struck her chest at the reaction. Her intention hadn’t been to scare him, but rather to make a point. Alcohol hadn’t done either of them any good at this point and she didn’t want it near them—especially him.
“No more,” Kita replied, her voice flat. “It doesn’t help, you know that damn well.”
Stone sighed and shook his head. “There is a difference between a glass and a bottle.” He slowly stood up and moved closer to puddle but mindful of the glass. “Guess I’ll have to find another way to make the bad days tolerable.” He moved to leave. “And I do hope you plan on cleaning that up. I’m not one to humor temper tantrums.” He glanced back. “At least I haven’t for a rather long time.”

Kita didn’t believe him but she didn’t push the matter. She’d hardly seen the man cry. (Had she, even?) And he’d been so desperate for her to stay, so much like he had been when she had considered leaving before. He needed her, just like she needed him.
“How long before I can go home?” she asked him, trying to keep her voice even, even though this terrified her, being in a hospital. The mutant refused to look at the IVs, focusing on him instead.
Stone thought about his answer, part of him hated being there at all. Something like this should have never happened. The other part of him didn’t want her to leave the hospital before she was ready.
“That depends.” He shrugged. “If you put up fight then they’ll have to work harder and it’ll take longer.” He knew that from experience. “You relax and rest you might heal faster. Once they’re sure you can move somewhat independently and aren’t going to either rip stitches or drop into a coma or worse from a blood clot or brain hemorrhage they should let you go, but...” He grinned. “It is a SHIELD doctor so we might be able to play the mutant card to our advantage.”

With a crash, the bottle slammed into the wall, the whiskey smell seeping into the room. Kita stood across from the mess, eyes cold and a scowl on her face. If Stone expected an apology, he would be sorely disappointed.
Every muscle in Stone’s body tensed. His body still not back to being used to these kinds of things happening but not being followed by blows from former captors. He forced himself to relax. He watched the liquid makes its way slowly down the wall and onto the floor as he let the edgy feeling ease a bit, but still prepared for a fight. A verbal one if necessary. Kita was clearly in a less than ideal mood. He would try and tread somewhat lightly.
“Having fun redecorating?” He finally turned to look at her. “I mean if you didn’t like the wall color we could have changed it without having to cover the floor with glass.”

Kita struggled for a moment, but her trust of Stone outweighed her fear of the situation she was in. Slowly she had come to see that this was a hospital and not the Institute. Calmed, she sunk into the hospital bed, looking up at him.
Stone smiling was a bizarre occurrence (or at least, this kind of smile, not one edged with madness).
“Are you okay?” she asked, knowing that he had just faced his own hell with her nearly dying.
Stone relaxed a bit more when she finally calmed down. He was glad he didn’t have to fight her on the topic.
He genuinely laughed when she asked if he was okay. “I’m not the one that almost died, this time at least.” He shook his head and waved it off. He’d normally have said fine or okay, but he’d humor her. The faster to convince her she was the one in trouble meant she’d listen to him faster. “I’m good.”
