WOT: Unexpected arrival.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

Logan carefully stalked through the building, glaring as he kept every sense on high alert for his foe. Sabertooth was as good as dead, provided Magneto's new pup didn't get in his way again. The matter-changing kid was almost too much for Logan to handle on his own. Almost.

He turned a corner, then stopped when he saw the orange kid.

"Sh-" his curse was stopped as the kid raised his hands and a beam of enery hit the old fighter in the chest. Where the projected powers hit the skin and organs began to turn to stone. Where his flesh hadn't already turned to stone it felt like it began to boil, every cell on fire.

Logan bellowed, pain enveloping him as another blast shot him backwards, out of the window, hitting the glass of the opposite building with a crunch and blacking out as he started to fall. He didn't even notice when he landed in something that wasn't hard... then actually caused him to float.

Up on the highest tower of the castle one of the little dragons craned its neck and looked at the floating body, then folded it's wings and dove, swooping up at the last moment and flying through a window to arrive in the massive main hall, where it bowled into the legs of the man training there.

Kurt looked down with a grunt, lowering the Bo staff and frowning, bending the scritch the critter's chin. "Vat is it, little von?" he asked.

The little male nipped at his hands, then turned and loped toward the door, making an urgent mewling sound that the blue man would have never heard from a dragon before.

He frowned and walked after him. "Vat is wrong?" he said.

"But, Liebe, that's never ben fer us t' say." Concern for him showed on her face; distracted her from thinking of the wounded man.

"Nien. He'll be fine. But I don't vant him here. He'll destroy it, as he has every uzzer place I haff dared call home," he said.

[random_xtras]

Her ears went back. "Naught kin harm t' WOT."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Nien. Not physically," he said, bitterness heavy in his voice.

[random_xtras]

"Ye vait till me Boss decides it's time 'n then yer there."

"I got people t' see to, darlin', ca't do that," he said, groaning as he pulled himself up to his feet.

"Take it up vit' t' management." She turned on her toes and walked inside to find her husband.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He watched her go, then looked around. Seeing something that looked disturbingly similar to a drago he did his best to catch up.

"Wait. Hey, winged broad," he groaned.

[random_xtras]

"Vhat am I tae do? Go in there 'n take his life? Vill that stop yer bloody var?" she snarled right back. "Ye murderin', hypocritical @#$%&$#@#@! Hae ye naught better tae do nor crow over gittin' some second hand whore 'n drag up a mon's past?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He glared. "His life'd be a start. N' don't you call my woman a whore. She made a mistake, goin' with him, n' tried t' break it off easy. He went mad."

"He'll die fer his sins vhen ye die fer yers." Her voice had gone deadly quiet, and there could be no doubting whose daughter she was now as her black eyes bored into his.

Then she leaped into space, seizing him by the collar even as her teleporter engaged. They both vanished with a swish and a slight flash, leaving the little dragon to mewl fearfully and watch the place where they'd been.

They appeared in Charles Xavier's study, where the man sat conferring with Storm and Cyclops, and she threw Wolverine down at the white-haired woman's feet.

"There's yer murderin' hypocrite. Gimme one good reason he shouldnae die here 'n now fer 'is sins."

The lot started and stared, then Ororo beant quickly. "Love?" she said.

"I'm fine," Logan grunted, slowly pulling himself up. He looked at the young woman. "Get outta here. Go tend ta yer man and home yer old man doesn't know about it."

[random_xtras]

Her dark eyes burned. "Were ye ivver Onslaught in this reality?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're taling about," Xavier said patiently.

[random_xtras]

"Nor care." She vanished with a swish and a slight flash.

[random_xtras]

"Aye...." Her ears flicked back slightly in a small puzzled frown. "The vone betveen human 'n mutant."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"It started?" he blinked, looking around. "Really?"

[random_xtras]

"Aye," she said heavily. "'N volk're cursin' yer name fer it."

[random_xtras]

She stared back, unaware of the greyish cast creeping over her skin, then turned and took a step toward the far edge of the roof. "I hae a var tae stop."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Vait! Liebe, nien, you don't understand! Zis is ze best zese people can hope for," he said, then frowned. "Vat's wrong, liebe? Are you ill?"

[random_xtras]

She passed a hand over her eyes as they seemed to go hazy. "(I love you, my darling. I always will)."

And then there was a rush of mighty wings and she was gone.
