WHO: Wolverine &OTA
WHAT: Exploring the new digs
WHEN: Mid-afternoon
WHERE: Welcome Center and a bit beyond
STATUS: Incomplete

If this hadn't been a very real,very dangerous, situation Wolverine would have found it almost funny.Though He was fighting his rage as it were already, as he extended his claws,titling his head to listen for any sign of an unprovoked attack.

Needless to say he wasnt buying this whole 'find a cure save the world bit',if he wanted that he would have stayed with charlies merry little band of dogooders, all he wanted to do was find a bar and get stone cold drunk after all that had happened in the last few days but apearntly he couldnt even do that.

A frown appeared on his features as he kicked some of the rubble,stepping through the threshold of the doorway into the abanded looking city "you gotta be kidding me"He growled, taking it all in.He didnt see any movement,not yet, but that mean there were others here, espically if that video those nutjobs 'sciencetests' had left were true.

Eyeing what he hoped was a building that held booze he took out on his cigars,lighting it up and re-sheathing his claws as he took in everything, not that there was to take in from the looks of things. Part of him wished charlie were here, the empath would probaly have a field day with this sort of thing.

The thought died in his head as he whirled, extending his claws once more as a rustling noise caught his attention.Eyes narrowing he focused his gaze on the spot it had come from "Show yourself"He barked, knowing it had to be a person, mostly because there hadnt been any signs,or smells, of wild animals when he had gotten here.

The small, lithe frame hadn't been lucky enough to creep up on him as she found his strange hair-do to be rather interesting. The moment he shouted, she seized up her body and slipped out of the brush she'd been hiding in. Once she was in focus, she dropped to her hands and knees so she was sitting on the ground, being as non-threatening as possible. Those weapons of his would most certainly hurt her and she wasn't in any position to fight him, weapon or not.

"S-Sorry. S-Sorry! Don't hurt me." Merope frowned, pleading for whatever life she seemed to have.

The girl was petite, long black hair to veil her face along with a tattered dress and a pair of shoes slightly to big for her small feet. At this point, she could have gotten better clothes but didn't feel safe going into public.

	Logans frowned deepened as a strange female came tumbling out the bushes,pleading at him.She didnt look,or smell dangerous,so he obliged her, resheathing his claws. "Look lady"He started,taking a step toward her "I'm not gonna hurt you alright?"He growled,his patience starting to grow thin with this entire situation all together.

Merope squicked, she leaned back a little so she was on her rear on the ground. "Promise?" She asked, hoping not to annoy him fully but she didn't get up just yet. Whoever she seemed to be, she was extremely timid in her movements and submissive in manner. It was clear that she'd been hurt before by someone as she flinched whenever he made a movement that didn't appear safe.

His growled caused further submission, she refused to even move now.

He chomped on his cigar as he took in her appearence.To him she looked like one of those starving children that were always in the commericals, though he could practilly smell the fear coming from as he stepped closer to her "yeah Kid I promise"He growled, though his tone was slightly softer.

"You live around here?"He questioned, glancing at the ominious looking buildings.He found it hard to belive that anyone could live in a place like this, but appearently he could be proved wrong

The moment that he promised, she pressed her hands against the ground and stood up slowly to show that she had nothing going on other than that. Now that he settled her nerves, she came a little closer, enough to be in front of him, but she was just as nervous as before,"...Kind of..but I don't like it." She moved her head up and rubbed the back of her head gently.

He quirked an eyebrow at her slow movements, obviously unused to such things "Oh?"He asked gruffly "Why's that?"He asked curiously,turning and gesturing, slowly, for her to walk and talk with him

"You got a name kid?"He asked finally, not wanting to be rude the women by calling her kid, or lady,all the time, one of the few manners charlie had managed to rub off on him

	Merope easily moved her body beside him, his gruff voice made her flinch whenever he moved. If anything, she appeared like an abused animal and she slowly moved beside him after his gesture,"My name is Merope and you?" She turned her head to his, nervously biting her lip.

"Wolverine"He stated absently, No one save for the X-men knew his real name, and he planned to keep it that way as long as possable.

He glanced down at her, flicking the remains of his cigar off to the side "Dont suppose you know where to get some grub around here?And maybe a beer.Or three.?"He might as well fill up before sniffing around and see if he couldnt find a way back

"Wolverine?" She perked, thinking his name was original as she never heard of a name like that. Raising her hand, she stopped for a moment and took his own, looking down at his fingers for a sign of the long claws that came out before. "Where are those things? You know? Those thingies?" She raised her eyes to his face, becoming too intimidated and lowering them immediately.

Once his question came up, she nodded,"There is some places, but it's not normal food...it's like a little ration. I could take you there.." She shivered a little, feeling slightly cold due to her lack of mussle.

He raised an eyebrow, Jerking his hand back instantly when she touched him "what?"He barked, confused for a moment "You mean my claws?"He asked.This chick was getting weirder and weirder by the minute.

Noticing her shivering he titled his head, giving her the once over.She didnt look like much, like she was about to drop any minute "You ok Kid?"He asked, slightly concernced, He didnt exactly want her drop dead on him, he wasnt that heartless.

Merope took four steps back when he jerked away from her, she moved her hands to her face when he barked,"Y-y-y..." She was stuttering, he clearly frightened her to the core with his barking,"S-s-s-sorry..." She took a further step back. Granted, her disposition she seemed easily frightened of those who barked like her father.

"I-I didn't mean..I-didn't mean..." She frowned, her eyes raised to Wolvervine not looking directly at his face, so she was alright for now.

	He instantly took a step foward, not really meaning to have scared her, most of the x-men were used to his gruff exterior and those that werent, stayed out of his way for the most part. "What, you've never seen a Mutant before?"He asked,popping his claws for her to see and waving them in her general direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The step forward made her cower, but his question made her shake her head. The second his claws popped out, she moved to approach him again on her own, she reached her hand out and her delicate fingers waited to see if he'd jerk away. "Can I touch it?" She looked at him, her hand reaching out and withdrawing whenever he seemed too quick for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No"He said matter-oh-factly,resheathing them and continued walking a few feet before stopping,waiting for her to catch up. "How old are you kid?"He asked,curiously, as he jammed his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket.She didnt look much older then rogue, perhaps one of the reasons he hadnt just left her there.

Merope frowned when he pulled them away, she was curious and was hoping to touch them. A sigh passed through her lips, fixating on his face but she followed him like a lost kitten, letting him lead a little even though she knew where they were going. Merope was a small thing, no more than five foot, a lithe frame and she seemed much younger than her voice declared,"...I'm eighteen.." She pulled her arms around herself.

That's when she noticed his arms,"You are so big, Mister Wolf-ervine." Yes, she said it wrong on accident, unsure if she was saying it right as it sounded strangely with her british accent.

	He nodded, just as he had thought, she was rogues age "You dont look it"He grumbled, raising an eyebrow at her statement, glancing down to see where,exactly, she was looking. "Wolverine"He corrected her with a scowl,shrugging "I guess, Kinda comes with the job"He said,not used to people giving him compliments, stares and curses yes but compliments?no.

Merope always looked away and down, her severely issues with intimidation had her stay submissive as if she were a slave of some sort. Oh, she was thinking back to the day where that tall male who was Tom had touched her, eased his hands over her delicate face and gave her the complete feeling of ease.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to agitate you again, Mister Wolverine." Granted, she didn't know how she was feeling, if anything at all at this point. "I don't look my age?" Merope tilted her head a little at him, just barely allowing him to see her eyes before they disappeared underneath the veil of hair.

As she walked slightly ahead of him, they came to a road and she started going left. Merope's pace was rather slow,"I like those things you have." She said becoming dazed at her own thoughts.

	He raised an eyebrow, half tempted to light up another cigar but thankfully didnt, no telling how long those would last in this damn place. "Relax kid, takes a lot more then a few questions to get me riled up"He assured her. When she informed him that she liked his claws he had to laugh, she was a strange one "Well thats a first" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Merope raised her eyes, her hands crossing over her chest until she found the small ration building and walked inside. Gently, she pressed her body against the door and waited for him to pass her, her hand gesturing inside.

"There is rations, you can get it from the front of the line...I'll stand back here." The girl leaned back against the wall, pointing for him to go forward.

	wolverine sniffed the air slightly,but enterted the building relucently.Eyeing the food,though none of it seemed to be anything he'd want,he took it anyway,meeting his 'guide' at the door with a scowl (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merope watched Wolverine walk around, his feral body making her uneasy in the first place. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she leaned into the door and frowned when he came back, looking so unhappy,"Wolverine....don't be upset." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wolverine shrugged,brushing past her and letting his gaze sweep to and fro, though when no real prey seemed to show itsself he turned his attention back to the girl.

"Eh,I'll be alright kid"he grumbled,raising an eyebrow.It wouldnt be the first time he had been stranded in a situation that would cause most people,mutants or not, cringe and want to go home.Wolverine could care less, as long as he could beer and cigars,and maybe even make some money, then he was ok "You know any bars 'round here kid?"He asked
