[It was like blacking out. One minute he was boarding a chopper with Nick Fury, detailing his plan for dealing with Apocalypse, the next moment he had passed out. Now he was waking up groggily in a dark place. It was small, confined, and it smelled like a person he was reasonably sure he was going to not end up liking. After trying to bang his way out, eventually his claws slide out of his wrists and he tears the door down. Bursting out from the closet is a hairy, angry man with a set of three razor sharp claws on both hands. He's pissed and he wants answers. Hi Tony.]

[After getting his answers from Stark, Logan was out on the town. His first job was taking care of his clothes. He found some stuff that fit soon enough, as well as his uniform. He slipped that one first, then a jacket over top of that. After what he'd heard, it was better to be prepared. His next step was tracking down his team. He didn't need directions for them. His nose was keen enough that he could smell them in the air. So he spends his time tracking them down, one by one, to wherever they currently were. At their home or elsewhere. That takes up most of his day, taking in all the information and making plans for their next move. If any.

By the day ends, Wolverine is in a bad mood and makes his way to where heard the bar was. Ordering his drink is more like snarling that he wanted a beer. He's not in the mood to talk and he spends most of his time at the bar scowling. Stuck in Luceti? No way to get out? Fate of the world in the balance? There's not enough booze in Luceti to make him happy.

People can catch him at the bar, or earlier in the day after he's found his uniform. He'll be exploring the place and stop a lot to start sniffing at the air, as if he's looking for something. For the most part his claws will be retracted unless someone threatens him. He's also 5'3. Comment on his height at your own peril.]

[During new feather season, Robin spends a lot of time outdoors. The friendly welcome-y people generally have introductions handled well, but Robin figures if he's alert enough he might be able to find someone at the moment of arrival, and at least have a chance of witnessing the phenomena of appearing for himself. No such luck so far, but it had to happen sooner or later.

The stocky guy sniffing around the edge of town is a bit of a concern, though. The behavior marked him as an animal hybrid, which might also mean he's someone to approach with caution. Robin slips behind him as easily as he appears behind anyone, though Logan could probably smell the faint remnants of pizza grease and hair gel from early into Robin's decision to stalk.]

Hey. Are you lost?

[Action]

[snikting]

[He did. The scent made him think 'kid' and not a serious threat. But even though he could tell her was being followed, he could tell he was being followed by someone exceptionally good at what they do. His fist tightened and he growled lowly once the boy spoke. But no claws. Not yet.]

Do I look lost, kid?

[Action]

[teenwonder]

[Okay, so this one growls. That's all right. It doesn't mean things have to escalate.]

If you didn't, I wouldn't have asked.

[Action]

[snikting]

[You know what? He already got into a fight with Hulk. (Who knows how bad that was.) He doesn't need some costumed kid sneaking up on him.]

Well turns out you're wrong. This is what us adults call exploring.

[Action]

[teenwonder]

[So what, does the guy need a band-aid or something?]

You must be pretty new here if there's still things left to explore. How long has it been since you got here?

[alloys]

[...Okay, so that was a particularly destructive sound inside his house. One that was not caused by him, as far as he can tell. Huh.

Cup of Noodles in hand, Tony heads toward the source of the sound--the closet at the end of...well, shit. That sure is some hairy man with knife claws and he does not look happy.

This was going to be fun, wasn't it.]

Oh, good. You're a New Feather. Well--it's your lucky day, because you woke up in my house, and not in a tree or on the roof or in a body of water, so, um--stand down? Relax? Whatever I need to say to get you to not butcher the rest of my house. Or me.

action;

[snikting]

[Oh good. Someone to interrogate. What Tony has to say is of little consequence. Stalking forward, claws still out, he starts to close in on Stark, getting in his face as best he can. Those claws he used to shred the closet? They're now in Tony's direction.]

I'm as relaxed as I'm going to get, bub. [He reaches up to grab Tony's collar.] Now I want some answers.

action;

[alloys]

[...Yeah, really should have brought a gauntlet with him, at least. Well, hindsight's 20/20 as they say.

He holds up a hand in surrender, stiffening when Logan grabs him.]

Answers? Well, why didn't you say so? But--see, you've got to have questions before you can get answers, so. fire away. I'm all ears.

action;

[snikting]

[Good. He pins Tony against the wall. And starts sniffing suspiciously.

... there's sulfur in the house. Not just any sulfur, but the kind from the brimstone universe. Not only that, but there's an even fainter scent. Rogue. Wolverine tightens his grip and pushes Tony into the wall even further.]

You can start with who you are and what you know about the X-Men.

[Hulk saw Wolverine entering the clothes store right before he walked in. But it was only a glimpse as he was super jumping through town. So Hulk waited. He waited on the outside of that building (he couldn't exactly GET in the shop too easily) until Wolverine finally decides to finally come out after getting his clothes.

Remember your old friend Wolverine? Because as you leave the store and start your strut around the town, you might hear some deep growling behind you as the Jolly Giants shadow looms over.]

Little Man...

[Action]

[snikting]

[He thought he smelled something green. Wolverine immediately spins around, claws out and growling back. He's never seen this big jolly jerk (sorry bub), but not even Juggernaut or Blob are as big as this guy. Not. Good.]

You got a problem, bub?

[Action]

[howsmashing]

Yeah. You punched me.

[Well TECHNICALLY it was Bruce. And he DID kind of send you flying for it in canon already. But hey details, right? It's rather easy for the Hulk to form grudges. Especially after people apologize and then punch him!]

I'm here to return the favor. Bub. [Yeah. He just jacked your line to mock you.]

[Action]

[snikting]

[That's funny because Wolverine is pretty awesome at grudges. And he may be on the verge of establishing a new one.]

You've got the wrong guy, cabbage patch. [He positions his claws and gets in his typical pouncing position.] So I'd strongly recommend you back off before someone gets hurt.

[touchofrogue]

[Here she is. In the Item Shop. Listening to Metallica.

The journal's open on her desk, and she's working in the back, sorting the new stuff.

Yup, another day in Luceti.]

[ action ]

[snikting]

[Okay Wolverine is in an even WORSE mood because he just fought Hulk. And he's glad to see Rogue is enjoying herself. He leans on the counter, turns off her music, and tries not to growl too much.]

Pack up, Rogue. We're getting out of this town. Now.

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[I'm sorry, what?

That was, at least, loud enough for her to hear two rooms away - as if someone shutting off her music and thereby touching her Mp3 wasn't bad enough.

But she knew that voice.]

Logan?

[Approaching cautiously, but quickly. Very quickly.]

[ action ]

[snikting]

[GOOD. He didn't want to have to go hunting her. He turned around to lean against the counter, crossing his arms.]

There you are. Where's the others? [Kitty and Kurt. He knew they were here.]

action;

[phasingthrough]

[Well, Kitty is gonna be home for a change, listening to the music on the iPod Kurt left her as she wrote in her journal. Gotta make sure she keeps up with everything going on here and enjoy her alone time.]

action;

[snikting]

[... this place. It's definitely the home of the X-Men. He can pick up that Rogue and Kitty live here very easily. There's still traces of Kurt's scent, but they are scant and not as thick. There was something else there too. Someone else. He didn't recognize her.

He'd already seen Rogue, so Kitty was next on the list. If they were indeed being 'domestic' in this place, he could offer at least a courtesy knock on her door.]

action;

[phasingthrough]

[A knock at the door? That's weird. Kitty just did her phasing thing and headed toward the front door. For a change, since she's been freaking people out, she opened the door instead of phasing right through it.

Her eyes widened in shock.]

Mr. Logan!

action;

[snikting]

Hey half-pint. [Look at her, using a door. He'd be proud, but he's too serious to be sentimental. It's not like he hadn't seen her an hour before arriving in Luceti after all.] Not much of a mansion, is it?

[herotypical]

[ well before the slayer receives some less than good news about her kidnapped boyfriend (namely that he is indeed kidnapped), she's kicking back during a shift at good spirits.

and then someone snarls at her for a beer.

and buffy isn't getting paid for this job so she figures she'll put her foot down.

even as she's popping the beer's cap (with the edge of her thumb, mind!): ] You know, saying please gets you pretty far in life.

[snikting]

[Wolverine doesn't say please, except ironically. And usually if he has his claws pointed at you. In which case 'please' is a way of saying, "don't make me kill you".

So his response to the admonishment comes in the form of more scowling.]

Saying please isn't going to get me out of this prison.

[herotypical]

No, but it will ensure that while you're in prison? The barmaid doesn't spit in your drinks.

[snikting]

That I wouldn't recommend. It wouldn't go unnoticed. [The nose knows.]
