I could really use a drink or like fifty. Or some really wicked lovemaking till the sun comes up.

Now, I can drink any man under the table. Or male, if you aren't a human. But only one can slip between my sheets. And I can promise it isn't you. Unless you share two initials with my son.

I'm not that old, I'm afraid. I would have liked to have been alive during that time though! The music, the dancing, the clothes.

The time had some advantages and some disadvantages. But I enjoyed it either way.

I bet people were nicer, and had better manners. If you're anything to go by.

That, I will absolutely say is true. It still amazes me sometimes, the way people act since I've woken up here.

I've lived in this age and they blow me away sometimes. And I can be pretty bitchy when I want to be. Makes me want to grab them by the shoulders and give a little shake and ask : What the hell is wrong with you?

But then I was raised in the south.

I can admit I've been close to doing the same thing myself many times. Mostly to people I don't even know.

Feel free sugar! I'll stand by and tell them they've just had the sense shook into them by a national hero.

If I did that every time I thought someone was being rude lately I think I'd never be able to do anything else.

You might have to shake me eventually. I tend to get bitchy when people piss me off.

There's a big difference in getting upset when someone bothers you than being outright rude. Even I've done the former quite a few times.

I get downright mean though. I wish I could feel bad for it, sometimes. But I usually don't. It's like once I reach this threshold... I don't care anymore. I don't take it out on other people.

Sorry, I'm not meaning to treat you like a head shrinker. I would have never thought you'd be so easy to talk to. And now I feel a little bad for not having your poster hanging over my bed at Xavier's.

Well, anyone who treats anyone badly enough to get them mad probably deserves it anyway.

It's alright, I don't mind talking to people. I..get that a lot actually. I think being dead for so long made me more of a symbol than a person and it's easy to fall in to that. I uh...I kind of prefer that you didn't, seeing how many things they've put my face on is a little overwhelming.

I've recently found out that being called cruel, and heartless is a serious hot button for me.

I like talking to you.

Oh yeah, I know about that, but the Avengers, when I come from, were marketed almost as much as the 'Captain America' image. I had a poster of Tony, Thor and Bruce above my bed. But buying one of you seemed wrong in some way. Like I was buying a poster of the headmaster and putting it up to ogle. And I would get some black mark on something important.

You don't sem to be either of those.

That was just starting in the time I come from. The official things at least, the improvised t-shirts and things started almost as soon as the battle ended. Don't let Tony know that, he'd never let you live it down. That idea still always...amuses me I guess. I feel like most would be amazed at the way I was on those USO tours or while I was alone with the Commandos, history seems to have picked apart the highlights reel a bit.

I try not to be. Either of them.

When I was seventeen, eighteen, you could walk into a 'dime store' and get the posters.

To late, I kinda had a fangirl moment when he first got here.

Lord, the rumors in the mutant community alone would probably boggle your mind. There's one that says you and Wolverine were made before the Civil War. And you fought together in it. And you're why the Yankees won. Adamantium wasn't even a pipe dream before World War I or was it II?

When are you from? I didn't think they had dime stores anymore.

Fangirl? Is that a special thing or is it just a fan that happens to be a girl? 'Cause I think he's used to those.

Well, I only know rumors of Wolverine. I've heard his name but I don't know a whole lot and can definitely tell you we never met and I was born in 1918, not before the Civil War. And well, all I really know about Adamantium is that as of 1944, Howard said all that was left in the world went in to my shield.

I'm from 2017, and I was seventeen in 2009. And they don't it just sounds a little classier than the 99 cent store.

It's kind of when a fan is a girl, but there's a lot of squealing that may or may not get heard by the person being fangirled over. It's kind of a verb at times rather than a noun.

Really? They have you two fighting every war together in American history. Which doesn't make sense, with the Korean war and Vietnam, when both wars were counted as losses on the US' part. But the rumor isn't in any books. It's just hearsay among us muties.

And Howard was wrong. I don't know when Wolverine got his whole skeletal system laced with it, but the bad guys got themselves some and did him, and then turned around and made him a clone when he escaped, and planned on doing the same thing to her. When she was seven years old. Luckily for her they only dipped her claws.

So there's people from the future here too. I didn't expect that. I've seen a few of those, the 99 cent stores, they don't uh, feel the same, as the dime stores used to be.

Oh yeah, I've seen some of those, they're...loud.

Well, the only war I've ever actually fought in was WWII and the battle in New York if you count that as a war. Sorry if that's disappointing or anything.

That's, wow. It still amazes me the things people are capable of. Sometimes I wish I knew more about the Adamantium, it's saved my life more times than I could count.

No they don't. There was a Woolworths still open when I was really little, down close to where I'm from.

I be you have, all studly in tight leather, or spandex.

It's not. It explains the smirks Logan wore at times. I kinda knew they were just rumor, probably put in place to keep us inline or as inline as they could get us. Not sure if SHIELD started them or someone on our side.

I'm not even sure Tony knows more about the Adamantium. It's kept a big hush hush secret among the people who know how to use it. I'm not sure if Laura could tell you more or not. She was it's latest victim as far as I know. But the bastards that did it to her were some horrible people.

I used to love going to Woolworths with my mom when I was a kid. I could never get as much as I wanted but she'd usually find a way to give me a nickel or two. It was always fun to try and find something that I could take home and would be mine. I even remember drawing the building a few times when I was in school. I was pretty bummed to know it was gone when I woke up.

I uh, well, I don't think the leather is tight or anything and the spandex is...different. Still getting used to that.

He may have done more than I have but I was 'asleep' through everything between the war and 2012. And well, some of them could just be...rumors. I know there were thousands about me even back when I was still fighting.

I know it's not all that's in my shield, Howard made some kind of alloy with it to make work the way it does but he said it's mostly Adamantium and that it's basically indestructible, absorbs shock, doesn't vibrate...it seems like an incredible material. And well, anyone who does something like that to someone unwilling would have to be a pretty horrible person.

My grandmother took me and my brother once, when she was in town. Let me and him pick out a couple toys each. I managed to hide my doll fro It was awesome.

Leather has a habit of looking tighter than it feels. Spandex is a pain in the ass. But quite useful if it's modded to reshape and fit.

Oh yeah, he was awake the whole time, but I'm not sure he remembers all of it. Someone screwed around with his head somewhere along the line.

It doesn't get dull, and can cut diamonds. It's supposed to be the strongest material known to man. But it has it's own rumors too.

It used to be one of the biggest places in the city to shop, mostly because it a one of the only places people could afford.

It's probably mostly sentimentality but I just like the way a leather jacket feels, everything else I've tried since I woke up seems so...weak. It seems alright, it's a lot easier to move in than my old suit. But I'm still on the fence.

Horrible people have a tendency to do that it seems.

Well I can definitely say it doesn't seem to get dull, it can stand lots of cold and lots of heat; Tony's repulsors don't damage it and Thor's hammer couldn't hurt it so it has to be pretty close if it's not.

By the time I came around it wasn't in a very big place. It might have been about the size of a nice sized grocery store.

It depends on who you get the spandex from. I'm thinking the stuff that comes from SHIELD and the X-Men is a little more... protective than your run of the mill tight shorts.

Yes they do.

I don't know if I count myself as lucky or not, but I've never dealt with it, more than seen what's on Logan's and Laura's claws.

Up until 1929-30 I think, it was the tallest building in the city. I mean the store wasn't the whole building if course but just knowing you were in such a big building was kind of cool then. And we'll, a lot of things seemed bigger to me back then.

Oh I meant the jackets! I'm sure whatever SHIELD gave me was as strong as possible. I just remember looking for a jacket to wear and they were all cotton or thin, I liked the leather mostly because it felt like it would actually last, even if I did have to get it custom made.

I'm just glad to hear that all that's left of it seems to be on our side.

I think everything is a lot bigger to anyone at twelve. Though I was pretty close to the same height I am now, that I was then. So you're still huge!

Oh! I have to show you this great faux vintage shop. They might have something your size, without you having to have it altered.

If there isn't, then they're keeping it a big secret. But the badguys do have a horrible time keeping secrets.
