"Kate," Teddy hissed into his phone, "help me."
There was a moment of silence, broken by a chuckle that Kate was unable to completely stifle.
"This isn't funny," Teddy said, a little more sharply than he'd intended to. He was sure Billy would agree with him on that. "He -- she -- he says his back hurts-"
"Can't say I'm surprised about that," he heard Kate mutter. Teddy sighed, closing his eyes and biting his tongue to keep from snapping again. Billy's mood had gotten worse and worse since the magical backfire that had turned him temporarily (or so Teddy hoped and Dr. Strange insisted) female, and it was affecting Teddy too.
The fact that Tommy had been teasing Billy none too gently about her 'really great new rack' until being forcibly ejected from the Lair didn't help.
"A bra that fits might help," Kate suggested. "And if you can't talk Billy into that, try some ibuprofen and a back rub."
"Billy won't let me touch... well, anything," Teddy told her miserably.
"Then Billy gets to suffer a backache," Kate replied, not in the least bit sympathetic. It didn't help that it'd been a long day for everyone, and now Teddy was calling her well after Kate had gone to bed with this latest "emergency".
"What do you usually do when you feel like that?" Teddy asked with an edge of desperation.
"Pop a Midol, grab a plate of sushi, and watch really bad horror movies."
There was another pause as a kind of slow, creeping horror filled Teddy. "You don't think-"
"I hope to God not, because I don't wanna be the one who explains things to Billy. Now go and comfort your boyfriend and let me sleep."
