"fuck, fuck, fuck."

he didn't plan on sticking around the emergency room long enough for the doctor who would supposedly be 'right with him' to show up, but unfortunately for logan, the nurse hadn't been kidding about that. his fingers are hovering over the needle stuck in the crook of his arm, poised to yank it out. huffing a sigh through his nose, he tries to think of some sort of excuse that will get him out of there without any fuss.

"it looks worse than it is."

as much as he likes to keep to himself, logan still feels his attention drawn to the man who takes a seat at the bar to his left, leaving one empty stool between them. he's not one to stare or strike up conversations with strangers, but there's something about the guy - a scent that clings to him that's both unfamiliar and dangerous - and if he can put a stop to trouble before it even starts, then he damn well will.

"hey pal," he calls out, picking up his beer bottle and using it to point. "i don't care where you've been or what you've been up to, but if you've got somethin' hot on your heels that's lookin' to fuck shit up, let me know now so i can get outta here."

〝 are you so pleasant to everyone you nearly barrel over , 'bub' , or am i just so fortunate in my run in with brutes this morning ? ♥ 〞

eyes them up and down and back up again, then shrugs. "seems t'me like yer just lucky."

logan's eyes rolled. "summers threw a hissy fit 'cause he couldn't play second fiddle to you? typical." and jean chased after him. also typical. he harrumphed and flicked cigar ash into the tray near his elbow, annoyed. "sounds like shit's really hit the fan. i dunno if it helps, ro, but i got yer back."

"Vague as usual, but I suppose that is to be expected of you." She paused. "I guess ya get credit for dropping by. The Professor... well, no need to say how he's doing. He puts on a good front but I know he's bothered. Then there's Kitty..." She took another sip of her drink, regarding him carefully. "Scott ran off and Jean went looking for him. Scott and I had a fight about leadership roles, I beat him and so here we are."

[backoffbub]

startled, logan's hand pauses with his next drink halfway to his lips, one brow arching up as he eyes ororo. "i just got back into town, this is my first stop. i didn't know jean and scott were gone." belatedly, he remembers she asked him where he's been. of course his answer is as vague as can be. "i was up in canada."

"That depends on what you mean by change. Nobody stays the same for very long. The world kinda has a means of forcing change. We may not want it, but ya gotta if you mean to stay alive." She paused. "Where you run off to anyway? First you. Then Jean and Scott."

[backoffbub]

"far as i know, i'm yer guy." logan taps her glass with his shot of whiskey before knocking it back. "don't know how long it's been, but i haven't changed much. have you?"

:｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆ || @backoffbub || s.c.

"Fancy seein' you around. How long it's been?" She turned away, going back to her drink. "Then again, maybe I shouldn't assume you're the one I know. A lot of funny wormhole stuff going on these days."

can't say he didn't all but ask for that.

"you think yer real cute, dontcha?" logan swats at her without an ounce of force behind it, then shifts so he can wrap an arm around her and pull her tight against his side.

"and you are. real cute, that is. but how are you gonna feel if i sink my chompers into you?"

the threat is punctuated when he presses his lips to the side of her neck, kisses there, and nothing more.

❛ okay fine. hi!!! ❜

she's staring at him with her big, brown, eyes giving him the i've never done anything wrong ever in my entire life!!! innocent face, and doesn't move from her spot. she even looks like she might even settle down next to him, but just give it a second, wait for it, wait for it, andddd —

with a tilt of her head, she leans into his space to bite the curve of his neck ( maybe a little harder this time ), before pressing a kiss to chase away the sting. her smile can also be felt against his skin, since she's not moving away either.

❛ better? i said hi first this time, @backoffbub ❜

[backoffbub]

bites him ( affectionately) 🥰

"whatever happened to sayin' 'hi'? i mean, you can do that again if ya want, i was just wonderin'."

he isn't exactly in a hurry for a good reason. well, it's a good reason to him and no one else. he's just getting away from people as quickly as he can. kids. he's surrounded by them all day, every day, and if he doesn't get a break once in a while, he goes a little nuts.

there's a cigar in his pocket, the weight of which he's acutely aware of, and he's bound for the outdoors so he can smoke it. even if he has to go to a designated spot so he doesn't face the wrath of xavier.

a woman he doesn't recognize has him stopping short of the exit, and his first instinct is to blow her off. once upon a time he would have, but he's an x-man now, and there are rules one has to follow when one is an x-man.

logan manages most of the time, if just barely.

"uh, yeah." a moment of hesitation before he takes her offered hand and gives it a firm shake. "that's me. i assume you're supposed to be here since charles hasn't sounded the alarm. you a new teacher or somethin'?"

She's only been to the mansion for a few days now, not having quite ran into everyone juyst yet - that is, until she's in the hall, noticing someone else beginning to walk by; either perhaps towards her, or simply going down the hall just as she was.

Polite smile is easy to rise, daring to be the one to approach with a hand held out towards him. Thoughts race on just which person this might be she's least heard about, just as she wonders if words been going through the mansion about herself.

"Hi, I'm Marie - You're. . .Logan, right?" Head tilts curiously as gaze cant help but flicker over him, relaxing as she lets her gaze see further, noticing the vibrant, orange aura around him. Something like fire, or maybe a sunset. . .interesting

half the time ( christ, maybe more than half ) he has no idea what the hell wade is talking about. this would be one of those times. logan's pretty sure the man just loves the sound of his own voice more than anything. if they could hold a normal conversation for once, maybe he wouldn't get so irritated.

"just keep yer drool offa me, bub, got it?"

@bonesrot *

bitey. someone woke up on the right side of wade's humiliation kink!

and soon his bed pls pls fingies crossed?

"look, torso a torso"—-(((mano a mano, you fucking normies)))-—huge 'Short Midriff' ackman, "any and all drooling happened strictly inside the mask. upstairs and... well, y'know which way the wind blows."

as above, so blow. ✝️❄️⛄🌨️

[backoffbub]

"ah shit."

he might heal quickly, but it still hurts like hell. the older he gets the easier it is to shrug most of the pain off, but even a metal spine knocked out of place is going to mess him up for a hot minute. the moment tony's pulled him up, logan's legs give a wobble, and as much as he hates to show weakness, he's still grabbing onto the man's armored forearms so he doesn't faceplant in the middle of the street.

the moment passes, the piceces of shrapnel have all made their way out of his body, and the pain subsides. his only discomfort now lies in the blood that's drying on his skin. well that and the look tony is giving him.

"i handled it, didn't i?"

there's going to be a lot of clean up that he supposes stark industries will have to write a big, fat check for, but that's never been a concern of his.

"bad guys are dead, i'm not. another day in the life."
