1 - [Action]
[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.]
[ action ]
Oh my Gawd, Logan!
[Watch out - you have a nearly twenty-year old mutant who normally avoids being touched barreling into you as fast as she can. At least she's fully covered from head to toe today.
/sob.
You don't even know, man. You don't even know how good it is to see you, she almost - but doesn't, of course - cries. He'll be able to smell the tears, though, hot in her eyes and denied any form of release.]
[ action ]
But things were definitely different here. And not in a good way.]
... you sure you're Rogue?
[ action ]
[Sure. Rogue. Both.
She pulls back quickly. No excuses. No reasons.
It's been almost two years.
Kurt's gone.
I'm a mess, Logan.
I hate being in charge of us.]
Gawd. I don't know how you're gonna stand it here.
[ action ]
Seeing as I already went a few rounds with big green and ugly, probably not too well.
[ action ]
[No wonder you turned off your music. She does your sensitive hearing a favor and doesn't turn it back on, taking a few steps away again and leaning against the counter.
She glances him over, concerned.]
You all healed up, or did they slow that down too?
[ action ]
[ action ]
[Blathering. She's blathering, and she recognizes this, but. At least it's purposeful blathering.]
Unless ya wanna wait an' see how long it takes.
[She doesn't bother asking if it's bad. She knows he's as used to pain as she is.]
[ action ]
I'll pass. [By now it's just bruising. By the time they're done talking, he'll be more or less in good shape.] Where's the others?
[ action ]
[That's not a hint, just information.]
An' a fighter. Uses water like Bobby uses ice.
[ action ]
She's a mutant?
[ action ]
Different worlds, different rules.
[Hell, the first guy I touched here was a plant!
But she manages to bite that back. Even her relief over seeing him can't get her to talk about other people's lives.]
Don't suppose you glanced at the guide between gettin' here an' gettin' in a fight with Hulk.

[ action ]
You know that ain't good enough for me, right? [Until he goes to the barrier and smashes his claws against it, he won't be satisfied.]
[ action ]
[If she thought there was the smallest chance of it working, she'd go with him. But as it is, it's New Feather season, and she's needed in the Item Shop.
And her heart goes through the complication calisthenics of just having him here to having him gone - that's what happens when you open up, Rogue - can't trust him to make it all alright when no one can make it all right.]
Ya want gear for the trip?
[ action ]
[He saw a map briefly, but not enough to get a sense of scale.]
[ action ]
[It's a big cage,]
There's a giant wolf god in the forest. Moro. Other'n that the way should be clear.
[ action ]
A guy claiming to be Tony Stark said the elf was gone.
[ action ]
About two weeks now.
[Not that she's keeping track or anything.]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[She snapped gloved fingers.] Boom, you're here. [Snap] Boom, you're not. That's the only way back home anyone's ever figured, an' it's got not a thing ta do with us.
[ action ]
[ action ]
[Pause a beat.]
Lemme guess, you just saw me, right?
[She even tries to smile a little. But Logan could smell the lie on her if she told it, they make her so uncomfortable. Besides there are certain... physical changes.]
[ action ]
You and me were on our way to SHIELD's helicarrier.
[ action ]
...so you're from around the same time Kitty is.
[And then she looks at Logan very seriously.]
She says the last thing she remembers, she was knocked out.
[Yes, Kitty, she tattled, all right?]
