all this time we've talked about how comforting it is for logan to have wade by his side on his cold nights with all those nightmares and ptsd because wade can physically handle him. okay but what if he accidentally stabs althea, though?

maybe wade forget to tell her because for the first few nights together, logan stops having nightmares. but then on one summer night, it comes back unprompted. he's grunting, screaming, and al comes over to check and then he stabs her in his sleep while wade's still out working.

what if wade comes back to see logan's claws piercing through al's body, then they both stare at each other in horror before logan repeatedly mutters i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm so sorry and suddenly wade's on his side, screaming begging at him not to retract his claws yet as he finds something to stop al's bleeding? what then

what if logan runs away as wade's waiting for al's surgery in the hospital because he thinks he ruined it all over again, that he's hurting the people he loved again. so he runs because he can't have himself hurt wade's remaining family this time.

what if wade's in the hospital alone, thinking he wants nothing more than logan to be by his side, because he can't bear to lose another family member, because logan is family? what then

dp&w raised my standards because there is nothing more romantic than kidnapping the so-called worst variant of a dead hero and dragging him on a homoerotic timeline-saving adventure that ends with bringing him home to your blind coke-addicted grandmother figure roommate

logan was a man made to be practically indestructible. he was more than difficult to break. he was nearly unbreakable. a lone wolf spirit, metal bones, hundreds of emotional walls up, and a rapid healing factor.

so how did his heart break so easily when he saw you? you’d just moved in next door to him, wade, and althea’s apartment. “you’re gonna have a rough time when you meet the new kid on the block.” wade had warned him.

he was the one of the three that hadn’t seen you yet. not like althea had much choice. logan didn’t take wade serious, of course. why would he?

then, he saw you. in the hallway of your apartment floor. wearing those grey sunglasses with crimson red lenses and that signature button shirt with the top buttons undone. logan knew what happened to him in wade’s universe. but he wasn’t sure what happened to the others. the x-men. scott.

you look over to him as he’s just staring at you. a distant expression on his face, in his eyes. like he knew you but he didn’t. like he missed you but he never had you. after an awkward moment of silence, you just give him that awkward closed-lip half smile that he knew all too well before entering your apartment and shutting the door behind you.

he just stares at the door for quite some time. without even a word, you’d manage to chip the indestructible.

Wade: Whew. What a day. Who could've seen this one coming? Althea [raises her hand] Wade: Oh, please. After seven years, I finally move out of your house and within two days, I burn my new home down. You can't write this stuff. Althea: I could if I used your skin for paper and your blood for ink. Wade: As soon as we get the insurance money and repair the fire damage, Logan and the girls and I will be out of your hair for good. Althea: Unless, of course, you burn her house down again. Wade [laughs]: Funny. See, that's what we need at times like this, laughter. Althea: …Ha, ha, ha… Wade: I'm gonna take that as laughter. Trust me, Laura is a great kid and you're gonna love Logan. If you can open up your mind a little, you will really enjoy having them here. [from another room] Logan: Damn it, Laura, why would you try to flush a washcloth down the toilet? Althea: Not enjoying it yet, Wade. Logan [comes in]: Al, you got a mop? Althea: Laundry room. Logan: Thank you. Wade: Uh, need any help, sweetie? Logan: No, but if I need my house burned down again, I'll let you know. Wade: See? He is keeping a sense of humor about it. Logan: You've ruined my entire life, you know that? [leaves] Althea: You're right, I like him. We've got a lot in common.

Logan can sing.

But he doesn't sing in front of anyone.

When he is by himself (driving a car or even in the shower) he starts to sing.

And bc he is around 200 years old, he sings from every time period. Every song he knows is a memory of a purely happy moment: An old lullaby sang to him by his mom or adopted dad. A jaunty little jig played on an out of tune fiddle that played when he had a first dance with someone in his youth. An upbeat jazz number that played in a nightclub the night before him and Victor shipped out to the European theater in WW2.

He knows a lot of songs. And each one a memory that he feels is worth revisiting when the mood strikes him.

The thing is, Althea hears everything. She keeps it to herself. She likes his voice, especially the way he sings the oldies she grew up with. She knows he would be embarrassed and never sing again if she gave even the slightest inkling of knowing. So, she just listens.

Laura hasn't ever heard him sing, but she notices that when they're in a car together he insists on letting certain songs play. He never sings or even hums. He just listens. But one day, while they were picking up Althea's medications and geoceries, Joan Jett and the Blackheart's "Bad Reputation" starts to play. And Laura, can't help it. She loves this song. And starts to sing to it. Logan looks over at her perplexed. "I didn't know you sing?" He says to her. "This song is about you, you know," she taunts back. He snorts. But then he starts bobbing his head to the beat. Laura notices and sings a little more enthusiastically, hoping he might join in his own way. He hums low, while turning up the volume so she can't hear him. Laura sings a little louder and even does a little air guitar. He just watches and smiles. Laura doing her one woman revival of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

They get back and Logan hands Althea her bag of meds. "Make sure Wade doesn't find this stash," he says. Laura unpacks some of the groceries then heads out for the night with some friends. Wade is out on a job, so it is just Althea and Logan. They sit on the couch, Logan flips through channels until they find something they both like. They more often then not gravitate towards the Turner Classic Movies channel, or some trash reality TV that catches their interest. This night, Logan lands on "Singing in the Rain," and he stops. It is the titular moment when Gene Kelley and Debbie Reynolds are kissing on the stoop, before he breaks out into the big musical number for which the movie is called.

Althea notices this immediately. "I never took you for a guy who liked musicals," Althea quips. She hears the remote creaks in Logan's hand. He is going to change the channel. But Althea is quick to stop him, "Nah, uh....I like this part. Don't change it."

Gene Kelley put his umbrella aside, starts to hum that catchy tune and the music swells...Althea noticed she could feel a slight thumping on the ground. It was Logan's foot, tapping to the beat. She also heard a very slight creak of the remote, still in Logan's hand. He was tapping his finger to the beat as well. Althea smiled to herself: this guy really is full of surprises.

They watch the whole movie. The entire time, Logan kept his hand on the remote but never made a move to change it. His finger and foot tapped to every song.

As the credits rolled, Logan began moving furniture to pull out the futon. Althea walked around to figure out where he was putting the furniture so she wouldn't trip over it in the morning.

"I saw that movie with my dad when I was probably 9 years old. It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater," Althea said.

"Me, too," Logan said. "First, time in a theater."

"I figured you'd be into westerns with how you act like Clint Eastwood up in here."

"Clint Eastwood was in a musical, too."

"What?"

"Something like...Wagon Paint? Can't really remember. We were watching it in the barracks in Vietnam when we were suddenly being rushed..." his voice trails off and the room tenses around him.

Althea didn't need eyes to see that Logan was having a traumatic flash back. She knew not to touch him. Instead, she quickly fiddled her hands to where she last heard the remote clank. When she finally grasped it and found the power button, she realizes she had no idea what movie was playing next. Hoping it wasn't a John Wayne war movie, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a song she vaguely recognized belonging to the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," an obscure one for sure. But hey, better than what was happening in Logan's head right now. Howard Keel was full on belting about how some girl was the girl for him, so Althea jabbed the volume button as loud as it would go, neighbors downstairs be damned.

Eventually, she heard Logan move. It sounded like he took a step, like he was turning towards her.

"Althea?" He sounded a little dazed and confused, but atleast he was here, and not lost in his thoughts. She didn't want to embarrass him.

"Sorry, Logan, I read in the TV guide that this movie was on next and I just had to see it."

"You read the what?"

"Just lay down and watch this movie with me for a bit."

And so Logan found his place on the futon, Althea on her sitting chair. And they just let the music and movie take them away for a bit.

"Thanks Al." Logan, said.

"Don't mention it."

When the movie ends, Althea turns off the TV and makes her way to her bedroom. As she dozes off, she hears, rather clearly, Logan singing. She can't make out what he is singing. But it sounds vaguely like Joan Jett and then morphs into Singing in the Rain.

Wolverine: (about Wade) He’s a real nice guy... He’s real funny.

Al: You started a relationship for funny? Logan, if he’s funny LAUGH

[mintaikkcorpse]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i find it so funny that Blind Al only has one bed. Makes sense; she lives by herself. But also no, because this horny murderer lives there now, and he brought his boyfriend and his ugly as shit dog (affectionate, I love Peggy).

A couple of options then. They can all share a room; Althea gets the bed while Wade and Wolvie get mattresses on the floor. Or one of them can sleep on the couch.

But also; Wade and Althea canonically sleep like this. All three of them are probably going to share the couch and sleep like this every night, while Dogpool gets the bed

[bumblesteak]

Most of Leandra’s friends bug her while she’s working ☺️😒💦

[mayakern]

wanted to make new character/portrait art of althea since it’s been a while
