Rooms

(after this)

[The few things that Logan thought he did well did not include comfort or support or anything involving other people that didn't involve pain. Basically. He was better than he used to be. When he first arrived in this Hotel world, after his first interaction with the X-Men, he was still a wounded animal. That feeling never left completely, but he had grown used to being a part of the fabric of a team after his years back in that world.

It was really weird to come back here and not have that team structure. To live at a mansion without X-Men. Without Jean or Scott or Ro. And now he was fucking things up with Rogue, so. Great. So while he might not know much of a thing about Steve, he knew a hell of a lot about feeling out of place. He was always winding up as a stranger in a strange land, either without his memory or the only one to remember what was going on.

He could at least get the guy a beer, and Logan did recognize him from that one time Logan had helped out the Avengers at the Osborn complex. The mutant was already at the bar, sipping his beer, until he noticed the good Captain America enter. Logan gave him a nod and a grunt to get his attention. Welcome.]

House seems quieter.

[Public as Steve R; beneath this sketch.]

[During and after this: a telepathic link in Marvel, wide open and unintentional. It starts with an explosion of pain in his head from the first hit and morphs into a steady, all-over throb that sits heavy in his chest and in his skull. A sickly rage. He wants to fight back, but that gets overwhelmed by the unsteady urge to vomit all over the alleyway.

Then only darkness, and the outburst falls silent for a minute or two before he totally regains consciousness. Then it's just pain. Hands that shake with a flood of adrenaline and anger. Dizzy. He needs to get up, but he's dizzy.

And still, he doesn't realize that he is projecting all over New York.]

[Back after many, many years by his reckoning, Logan has just one thing to say.]

Fuck. What year is it?

Who: Logan and so many flashforwards
What: Logan wants to know more about his past. The hotel meets him part of the way, and gives him more of his future [aka, a canon jump!]
Where: Mansion/X-Movieverse
When: over the next week [fyi, Logan will be gone for about a week~]
Warnings/Rating: basically all the events of X2 - "Days of Future Past"

( In a way, the hotel was going to give him what he wanted. Or at least, give him more memories. )

[As Logan, locked to Avengers participating in the Oscorp rescue and Charles Xavier]

As much as I love getting roped into a good grapple, anyone care to explain what the hell was going on now? Is there any indication this isn't over, or can I enjoy my beer in peace tonight?

[After this.]

[Same Avengers lock as Jack C + Sharon C + ETA: Logan H]
Tony, are you sober yet?

I can be back in the city in a couple of hours, but I need feet on the ground now. Who's around?

Natasha, Bucky, if you're available, I want you on point.

Sharon, can we get ambulances on the scene? We don't want to draw attention to the facility unless absolutely necessary. Can S.H.I.E.L.D. help with medical attention?

[Locked to Gwen S]
Gwen, I need a moment.

[Locked to Charles X]
We have a situation with a facility of Oscorp victims. It's near the Mansion. For those not badly hurt enough to need a hospital, would you have room to put them up temporarily?

[X-Mansion Crew - current and former etc- you know who you are]

Is everyone all right?

Please tell me this school place doesn't do cheesy costume parties anymore.


[Logan]
I still don't like it here.

MY LOVELY FREAKY MUTANT AND SUPERPOWERED PEEPS AND PEEPETTES--

The best of the parts of the years is upon us. So what are we doing for Halloween?

I SAY...pin the tail on the Logan.

[Locked to Professor X]

Hey. [This is so awkward, and the period is a bit over emphasized with force. Growls at himself before writing.]. Professor, this is Logan. I'm not sure you remember me, but I need your help. [Sigh.]

[Text message to Rogue]
-I've sniffed our most of New York
-Out
-Christ this keyboard
-Nothing like sentinels

[The location wasn't hard to find, because no, New York hadn't changed much between the worlds in terms of smell or public transit. The only thing that might slowed him was whether he was making a mistake in seeking out this stranger on his own. He wasn't worried about his own safety, of course. Logan severely lacked any instinct to be concerned about survival. He did survive, no matter what, and would be the one to throw himself head first into any fight. But it might be foolish. Vulnerable wasn't a word used to describe Logan, but when it came to his gnawing need to figure out his past, he was, a little. He could be fooled or used. He could only remember the past few years of his life, so maybe he had gone back in time to work with Magneto and Xavier. Maybe he had known Steve Rogers or Carol or Jessica or some other Avengers. The only thing he could say with confidence was that in his present there were no Avengers. The public didn't have a history of them, or other super teams. But that didn't mean that he didn't know them in some other way.]

[And whether or not they knew this version of him, Jessica claimed to know about the past of some version of him. Some details might vary, but maybe he would get another clue, if versions were similar. He had to at least talk to someone.]

[He went into the bar and, as Jess suggested, simply followed his nose. God, it made him want a cigar. Was he allowed to smoke in here? Did he care if he were allowed? Of course not, but he didn't have a cigar on him. Shame. He took a seat next to her, the furniture creaking under his weight.] I'll buy the first round. [Since he invited her. Don't ask how he got the money. New York hadn't changed so much, and some people would always pay to watch a fight.]

One thing's for sure, this still smells like New York.

Who: Logan and Rogue
What: exploring the mysterious hotel
Where: Lobby, Passages Hotel
When: ...now?
Warnings/Rating: nothing now, just general Logan gruffness, but perhaps future reference of torture/experimentation(?)
