Following Shannon's advice sounded like the thing to do, but announcing in one of the journals that Rorschach had scared the hell out of her the day before, yeah that did not seem smart. So she decided that in person would work much better. Well, somewhat better. Not much better, just a tiny bit though.

Okay, so she was scared. Not about telling Logan, she never even thought that he would hurt her. But she was standing outside the Gym where she had slept alone for the last two nights, bundled up in the overalls she had arrived in, only done up for once. With the flannel shirt she had borrowed before from Logan himself, nearly swamping her, rolled up to her wrists.

Her arms wrapped around herself, Kaylee kept her eyes open and looking around herself. The last thing she wanted was to be taken by surprise again.

Logan headed over to the gym after Kaylee asked him via journal to meet her there. Even in the journal, something seemed ... off.

The moment Logan got a look at her standing outside the gym, he knew /something/ was up. The bouncy, happy eagerness that seemed to be Kaylee's normal state of mind was gone, replaced by a twitchy nervousness.

He sped up a bit to close the distance between them. "Hey, doll. What's wrong?"

When she caught sight of Logan coming up, Kaylee relaxed just a little, her arms still tightly wrapped around herself. Partially because it was gorram cold out here, partially because she was still a little freaked out about the whole Rorschach thing.

Shannon telling her that he was the one harassing her, and everyone else, on the journals really had not helped. Especially when she had gone back and looked herself. Rants about whores and sluts and drug addicts.

Not that she had anything about whores.

There really was not much she could do to dance around the topic at hand. "Do you know someone named Rorschach?"

	"Asswatcher? Yeah, I know him. Likes to make judgement calls he's got no business making about folks. Stinks worse'n Laura does, and that's saying something." Logan supplied. "Why?" Logan had a baaaaaaaaad feeling about this. Add the question to Kaylee's atypical twitchiness and ... dammit, no, he was NOT going to assume. Yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"He called himself a Night Watchman," Kaylee delayed just a little. Maybe some minor background would be helpful, "Yesterday morning, I was working on finishing the water heater. I didn't really think anybody else would be around."

She fidgeted slightly, knowing what she was going to say was definitely not going to make him happy in the least. "He came out of nowhere and grabbed me from behind, saying that I might be making some kind of weapon." The man had really scared her, and she did not like it at all. "He wears some kinda mask, so I couldn't see his face when he let me go."

One thing about Logan ... that the X-geeks had found out ... was that he could go from calm to murderously pissed in half a second flat.

This was one of those times.

"HE DID WHAT?" Logan roared, expression going deadly pissed. "Fucking goddamned psychotic motherfucker. I should have fucking /known/. I fucking /told/ Shannon there was a chance that fucker ... goddammit, I'm going to kill his sorry ass. Slow and fucking /painfully./" The look on his face, the tone of his voice all lent weight to the fact that Logan was NOT KIDDING. Or exaggerating.

Even Kaylee quailed in the face of his anger, if only a little. Not enough to take more than a half step backwards, she had lived among soldiers and mercs long enough that she had seen blood and violence and anger quite enough.

Still, Logan truly angry was frightening to behold.

With a heavy swallow, she stepped forward again, when he started cursing and threatening things he seemed quite intent on following through on. "Logan, wait, he didn't hurt me."

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. Logan wanted nothing more than to go find Rorschach /right fucking now/ and gut the motherfucker. But a tiny, insistent voice of reason somewhere was insisting that slaughtering the fucker, however personally satisfying, was not the brightest idea, what with there being a shitload of people here who'd not be too happy, and Logan kinda had to live with them.

Snarling in rage and frustration, Logan turned and punched the shit out of the side of the gym a few times. Tore his hand up, but with that and a few deep breaths, he managed to get the rage under control. It was still /there/, but he wasn't half a second from murdering someone.

"He better not have." He half snarled, half growled. "You /sure/ you're all right?"

Eyes wide, Kaylee to that step immediately back when he turned and unleashed violence on the building beside them. With enough force, when he pulled his bloody hand away, that it left indents and cracks in the outside wall. She gasped, her hand going to cover her mouth, between blows

Okay, so there were few things that seemed to be as frightening to behold as Logan in a raging fury. Niska was probably up there, with his cold manner and love of torture. But that was more icy fury, while this burned hot and sudden as opposed to slow to build behind the scenes.

She nodded when he stopped, slowly dropping her hand away from over her mouth. "He scared me, is all."

Within moments, the raw, bloody hamburger was replaced by perfect, unmarked skin. Logan wiped the remaining blood off on his pants, then took one last deep breath. "Sorry about that, doll." He managed a lopsided grin. "I got a bit of a temper, but it ain't never gonna be aimed at you."

Ror, on the other hand? Dead man walking.

"You gonna be ok?" He wanted to know.

This actually was the first time that she had seen him heal from more than simply his blades sliding in and out of his skin, so she just had to stare for a second as his hand healed itself as if it had been nothing at all. And, despite the fact that he had been gorram scary just a second before, Logan did not look all that frightening when he grinned at her again.

Or, at least, less frightening about it. Kaylee relaxed, at least a little bit. Especially as he was back to calling her doll, like most of the women here, and looked less as if he was about to remove Rorschach's intestines through his throat or something.

She nodded quickly, "I'll be okay. Really, he just took me by surprise and I don't like being held back, is all."

	Removing Ror's intestines through his throat would have sounded like a really, really good idea to Logan, if he'd known what Kaylee was thinking. "Uh huh." He didn't sound like he believed her too terribly much. "If it happens again, scream. I got good hearing ... and you'll have the pleasure of watching the asshole get his ass beaten bloody."

See, once you got to intestines out people's throats, and ears being cut off, and duels for womens' honors, it just got messy. Then you ended up with dead bodies in boxes who were not really dead at all, and people kicked into running engines...

An unexpectedly dark laundry list from Kaylee's mind, better avoided. Rorschach simply was better avoided, just as much. He only served to remind her that not everything was of lightness and fluffy creatures, of sex and strawberries. No, Rorschach would remind no one of either sex or strawberries.

...He probably hated strawberries.

"You don't have to beat him up," the mechanic tried to tell him, despite her rampant dislike for Rorschach. "I jus' don't want him anywhere near me." Still, she nodded to agree that she would scream for help. Kaylee dredged up a smile from somewhere, who knows where, there really wasn't a power in the 'verse to stop her from being cheerful for long. Just as the Cap'n was always saying. "Thanks Logan. I hafta go and look for River some more, she hasn't said anythin' at all back from my message. And I haven't seen her in days."

	Logan snorted. He somewhat (ok, more than somewhat) disagreed on the idea that he didn't have to beat Rorschach up. But he was going to refrain, for now. Next time ... well, that'd be an entirely different kettle of fish. "All right. Seeya around." Logan said. "And be careful, all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

With a smile and a cheerfully drawn up, "Sure thing." Kaylee nodded. Before she turned and set off in the snow towards the thrift store, needing to find her friend and know just where she had been for days on end. Lately she had done her best to not worry overly much about the younger girl, because she knew that sometimes River just wanted to be alone, and Kaylee surely did not want to smother her or nothing.

But this was too long, and while the mechanic had never actually been around River when the girl had not had Simon in attendance to make it all better, she had to do something.
