Guess not.

[It'll be a struggle, but hey, as long as Wolverine doesn't poke a hole in anything important, he can manage for a while. In retrospect this was a pretty reckless decision, though. Logan always makes movement seem so natural, he hadn't realized...]

You're... ah... you're pretty heavy, though.

Yeah. Turns out adamantium ain't exactly light.

[He's literally twice Billy's weight. Logan is carrying his own weight to some extent, but he's still a lot of pounds in a pretty small package.]

I'll try to remember that. [Ow ow ow- and he feels something tear at his side. There goes his shirt. Hopefully he can fix that later.] I'm thinking this place needs those moving floors. Like at an airport? Just stand there and let it carry you. That'd be great.

Yeah, great idea. You can write the Mallies a nice letter about that when we get out of here.

[Logan realizes what he did and holds his fingers out flat, before tightening them around Billy's arm. Not threateningly. It's just this way those claws are facing away from him now.]

You know? I think I'll do that. [Billy pauses a moment, swallowing hard; the effort of walking is draining enough, and he knows that talking is going to make it that much harder, but he doesn't want to just keep quiet, either. The silence is too much for him to handle, especially in the dark.] They're long overdue for a letter of complaint. There's- hn... plenty of things I'd like to say to them about their... services.

Be sure to tell them their door service is awful. [This is about as close as Wolverine gets to joking around. Cherish the moment. The talking is good, because it's something to focus on. Especially since he's starting to feel more and more stiff.]

[He will cherish it indeed; it's actually kind of eye-opening. So Wolverine does have a sense of humour- good to know. Then again, he'd been the one smiling - okay, smirking - at the Kree and the Skrulls when they'd come for Teddy...

Either way, he'll keep it up. It's kind of therapeutic.]

The apartment buildings need elevators and the sewage system is practically out of the stone ages. Don't even get me started on the lack of entertainment.

Could use some roads too. Decent transportation.

[His motorcycle. It sure would be nice for him to be able to get away from the village for awhile. Just him and a loud motor.]

You'll have to write your own letter if you want that. I don't have any problems getting around.

[Which is half a boast, half just trying to be informative. No sense in being secretive.]

Yeah. Teleporter. Just like the elf.

[Teleporters are pretty annoying.]

Elf? [Billy gives himself a moment to take stock of the X-Men he's aware of who might fit that description, and only one name is coming to mind.] ...Nightcrawler?

Yeah. Guess you've got all of us in your world, don't you?

[Good old blue boy. Billy's almost papa.]

Probably a lot more than you're used to, actually. Last I heard there were almost 200 mutants at the mansion.

[He'll just leave out the fact that that's a bad thing, eh-heh.]

[He snorts.]

Sounds like a headache.

Probably moreso for my world's Wolverine. He's with the Avengers, too, so there's a lot of location-hopping. Teleporting would be pretty useful for him!

Avengers and the X-Men? [he snorts, sort of a laugh.] Like I ain't got enough to do already with just the one.

Might be involved in more, who knows. He's kind of hard to keep track of, even for his teammates.

[He chuckles quietly at the tail end of his tease, but cuts himself off within a moment; he's starting to grow short of breath.]

[Wolverine stops moving. He can tell the kid is getting exhausted. And while he's all about pushing himself to his limit, he won't push people for his own sake.

Which is why he'll be letting go of Billy and pulling himself off.]

...hah... no, hang on, I can still-

[Billy tries to take a step towards Logan, reaching out as if to help, but his legs suddenly tremble and buckle in about two seconds flat, dropping him right to his knees. Apparently willpower is not, in fact, enough.]

Uh. I think... we might need some help.

[Logan catches himself against the wall when Billy goes down. At which point he lets himself slide to the floor.]

Well I didn't bring a journal. You made your point, so get going.

Billy wobbles on his knees for a moment, tries to stand, and then - after about three unsuccessful attempts - edges over to the closest wall and slumps against it.]

Sorry... think I just need a breather. My legs feel like Jello.

[Well Logan isn't going to berate him. Though one of his X-Kids would have totally lasted twice as long. Because he trains them up right or something. ~~Or he's full of shit.~~]

Sure. I ain't going anywhere.

[He's just a little behind on training, man.

Billy relaxes quietly for a long moment, giving his sore legs a rub-down, then glances cautiously over at Logan.]

...Are you mad? That I didn't leave right away, I mean.

There's a lot of things for me be pissed over, kid. That ain't exactly high on the list.

[Any of the X-Men would have done the same. Or at least tried to. Seeing as how he was in charge, they'd listen if he told them to leave him behind. Most of them anyway.]

Edited 2012-08-19 00:42 (UTC)

...Okay. That's good.

[He probably will have to make a run for it once his legs start behaving, though. Until then, they're pretty much stuck.

He sits and stews and gets a bit angry with himself for being too damn stubborn for a moment, then slides a leg up to hug his knee to his chest. It helped with Rogue, so maybe...

...well, it's a conversation starter, anyway.]

Actually, speaking of which... I don't know if Rogue told you, but I'm a mutant, too.
