Who: Tabitha and Bobby
When: Nearly three years ago now!
What: Secret Origins Post!Young Bobby Meets Younger Tabitha for the First Time!
Where: The main hall
It had been three days since Tabitha was found by Charles Xavier, sleeping in an old bordello that had been boarded up years ago. He'd sent his extraction team to pick her up, did the whole mind read thingy, given her the peace and love and welcome-home-if-you-want speech, and had even given her a hot meal and an attempted bath.
She had run away the very next day. First it was a woman with red hair that had caught her first and brought her back by a hand on the wrist. Then when she'd run away the second time, it was Charles himself sitting patiently at the end of the drive, waiting for her.
This time, it was the scruffy chain-smoking Logan. He had her by the scruff of her neck, lifted up off the ground like a puppy. Without ceremony she was dropped in the hall.
"Stupid old man! That hurt! I don't wanna come back, this whomps!! I can take care of myself, you black-lunged biker freak!"
Logan gave her a oh please look as he put out his cigar on his boot heel. "Look kid, I just do what Chuck tells me. And some fourteen year old brat ain't gonna get by me, trying to hop buses. Next time get creative."
Tabitha blushed bright red. "Yeah!? Well you and baldy can just stuff it! No one asked you to look!" But Logan had already left the room, unconcerned. So little Tabitha just sat there, fuming and arms crossed in her over-sized flannel shirt and torn scruffy jeans. She looked like a real boyish ragamuffin alright. Even her short choppy hair was a mess.
But as she sat there, angry and bitter, a sound caught her attention and she whipped her head about to see who was there.
