Firestar has posed:
It is later in the evening. Angelica is dressed for sleep, but still working on her college work. Black tank top and black sweat pants. Barefooted and without her protective suit because she is alone.

She has a bottle of Pepsi within reach and is furrowing her brow on some Physcis problem she is trying to solve.

Wolverine has posed:
Logan is there knokcing on the door, he's wearing a bomber jacket, pair of jeans and a button up red shirt. His eyes focused on the door as he waits for the door to open up. Ocean blue eyes focus on the door as he waits for a few moments to see if Angelica opens the door.

Firestar has posed:
A curious frown and Angelica looks to the door. Sure it would be easy to ignore it this late, but that isn't her style. She does draw a little energy forth just in case someone is up to something this late. The neighbor talks to himself and in plural all the time. Eddie Brock. Strange guy.

She opens the door after looking through the peep hole and smiles a little,"Hello stranger. It's been a while." If he lets her, she will hug him tightly and otherwise she just invites him inside.

Wolverine has posed:
Logan waits for a moment. There's a pause and he gives a nod, hugging Angelica tightly to him. He rubs at her back slowly. "How ya been darlin'?" Logan looks back at Angelica. "Hows yer mythology studies?" he asks curiously, wondering how long she has been out of the X-Loop. His gaze looks at Angelica curious how she will react ot tha tquestion. "How have you been aside?"

Firestar has posed:
Finally, she slips from his hug and motions him into the apartment. She motions him to follow her into the apartment,"Come in." she tells him and walks to the kitchen area. She opens the refrigerator and takes out a bottle of Corona. She slides the brew his direction and shakes her head,"I am well. I have a little background in mythology, but not excessive. What's going on?"

She opens a cabinet to get a trail mix incase he is hungry, then she walks to the living room to take a seat, legs tucked under her.

Wolverine has posed:
"Because The Mansion got visited by yer textbook nightmare. The horse wit' the flames n' all that," he looking at her. Ocean blue eyes watch her as he follows behind going ot sit down in a chair. Those ocean blues focus on her as he waits for a reaction on that one. Not every day you can say the former home is invaded by mythology.

Firestar has posed:
She takes her Pepsi in hand and pushes her books to the coffee table. She raises a brow curiously as he mentions a flaming horse. She blinks once, twice, and seems to be looking for the punchline. None forthcoming, she considers.

"A flaming horse? I can't say I am familiar overly. Apollo maybe? Odin had a horse, but not a flame horse. Other than that you're out of my knowledge."

Wolverine has posed:
"Yep. A nightmare, n' some other stuff. Seems to all come from Greek. They just showed up outta the blue," Logan knows that sounds messed up, even by their stands. Like somehow this tilts the scales of something truly bizare. And they come from a world where people can bend minds, metal, and everything in between.

"People are lookin' inot it," he says, just not exactly a full force of people can go forward.

Firestar has posed:
"That is a nightmare." Angelica mutters softly. She shakes her head,"If they can bend metal with their minds and bodies. That's...yeah that's terrifying."

She finally takes a drink and nods,"I am glad people are looking into it at least. Not really my strong suit, but I can try to put some time into it if you wanted? I have NYU's library at my disposal after all."

Wolverine has posed:
"They couldn't. But what I'm sayin is, it was a strange day even by X-Standards," and Logan hates that such a term even exists. "Wanda's doin' some diggin'. Havok n' Storm spent some time in med bay. Rest of us are wonderin' how, why n' makin' sure the whole threat is gone," and this is just his way of keeping Angelica up to date on X-Men day to day.

"How are ya? No suit, means ya got no plans tonight. That a good thing or a bad one?" he asks curiously. The brow going up as he will gently prod for information. Angelica has, and will always have, a soft spot in Logan's gaze. So, he will make sure she's doing alright.

Firestar has posed:
A nod and she replies,"Ok. Sorry mistook that." She considers for a moment and asks,"I know you probably shouldn't, but if you can get me a picture or a little footage. I might know a lady to show it to. Sorry to hear about Havok and Storm though. That's no good."

She looks down and shakes her head,"Nah. No plans tonight. Just hanging at home, studying some, and contemplating sleep before midnight. Now, well good company is worth the late visit."

There is a soft spot for Logan in her heart as well. Unlike most people, she is almost always instantly at ease with him. That might throw some question to her good sense, but he's always been kind to her,"Over all I am doing well."

Wolverine has posed:
"Who's the lady?" Logan asks, it's not tha t he doesn't trust Angelica. Logan trust her, nearly completely. To him it's like getting a thirty party involved. It's someone he may want to do his homework on.

"Who's the compan?" he asks with a smirk knowing she means him. Still, Logan will toss out that question. "I ain't gotta beat someone up?" he asks curiously, kaing sure she's afe. That's him being overprotective to him.

Firestar has posed:
A soft laugh and she replies,"Her name is Buffy Summers. She is a legitamate vampire slayer. Bad little woman. Way stronger than she looks. She sort of deals with the weird on a regular basis."

The company comment gets and gentle back hand to his abdomen,"Wise guy." she mutters and sighs. She lays her head on his shoulder and teases,"It might be funny watching you trying to beat you up. I bet it would be brutal."

Wolverine has posed:
"I've heard of Buffy," he gives a nod. It's just someone hea's heard about. Logan and the supernature circles don't always cross. "It's magical. What does she know about magic?" he figures that those that aren't strictly wizards, sorcerors and simialr may be a disadvantage.

"Be meore sad n' funny than brutal,"Because Logan isn't sure how he would kick his own ass. He would try, but something about it would take some time and effort on his end. His ocean blue eyes slip to Angleica. "I'm happy you're thriving. I miss ya at the mansion, but ya got yer reasons." And that's all he'll say about the sore times.

Firestar has posed:
"She's impressive. Whether she knows it or not, she's helped me deal with a fear." she comments. A soft sigh and she admits,"I don't know how her power works, just that it works. I suspect there is magic in it because she is no bigger than me, but I saw her wrech a steel handrail from a post fighting a vampire."

She smiles a little and sighs,"Do me a favor and don't lets try to find out. I like you how you are." she comments,"I am thriving because you were there to pick me up. I'll never forget that, nor will I ever be able to repay you."

Wolverine has posed:
"I know good things come in small packages. I ain't quesitonin' that, look at who yer talkin' to. I'm just sayin'...might be a little outta her wheel house or ," he's not sure. He knows the supernatural world is vast. So, it has their own sub sections. Logan's just ocncerned this is one of those times somehow.

"Live life. That's how I want ya to pay me back. Anythin' else would be like an extra beer. Nice, but not needed to enjoy the firs tone," he admits looking at Angelica. That's what he wants, tos ee her thrive.

Firestar has posed:
"The best things come in small packages I think." she agrees and sighs softly again. Taking a drink of her Pepsi, she considers,"It might be out of her wheel house, might not. I won't bring it up with her. I haven't seen her for a while."

A nod and she assures him,"I am trying to live the life. Trying to make the most of everything that comes my way." She smirks again at the beer comparison,"Well I mean. That's pretty straight forward isn't it." she chuckles softly.

Wolverine has posed:
Smirking he shakes his head and keeps quiet for a second. Then he looks at her for a moment as Angelica talks about living. "Yeah, I don't ask much of people," he smirks. Logan always views himself as simple, this includes demands on people usually. "Besides, now ya can make the world yer own." he gives her a firm nod knowing she could do what is needed. Plus, if she needed more coin, Angelica could ask. They could talk about it.

Firestar has posed:
"Maybe that's why so many people are drawn to you. You cut through the nonsense, make your intent clear, and move with it." she comments and takes a drink of her Pepsi again,"I'm making the most of what I can with the world." she muses,"Chasing after dreams and trying to still be a useful member of the Justice League when I can."

Wolverine has posed:
And that comment makes him laugh. "People are drawn to me fera lot of reasons. Most of em' think of the bad boy image n' that sorta thing," Logan admits and he's not blind to that. The reputation goes long, and far, and he's not blind to it. "Trust me, yer probably useful," he gives her a small nod. "I know ya are."

Firestar has posed:
A soft laugh and she shakes her head,"You do have the bad boy vibe most fathers depise, most mothers want to steal, and most girls go weak in the knees for." she agrees. She winks as she adds,"Well nobody has asked me to leave yet so I suspect I am doing something right somewhere. Still probationary, but I am good with that. Still earning my stripes as it were."

Wolverine has posed:
"Careful or I'm gonna think ya know somethin' I don't," Logan says firmly as he looks at Angelica. she seems to know a bit about how people view him. Those ocean blue eyes look at her then outward. "I'm sure you'll lose the junior stripes soon enough," just a thing he has a feeling about.

Firestar has posed:
Angelica laughs again and nudgs him with her elbow,"When it comes to the behavior or women I just might. Whether we like to admit it or not, the majority of us like bad boys, just have the good sense to only like them from afar. Some of us, not so wise."

She takes another drink and hmms softly,"Hopefully so, but it not I can wait. I don't intend on going anywhere. So long as they'll have me I am in."

Wolverine has posed:
"So yer sayin' I am a bad boy?"he looks back at her obviously teasing. Then he smirks and opens his drink to take the first swig. "I'm sure they'll have ya," he adds after the first swig.

Firestar has posed:
"Ya think?" she replies with a hint of sarcasm. She takes another drink and then closes the bottle, tossing the empty into the nearby trash can,"I think so long as I weork hard and avoid doing anything too stupid they will. Just a chess match. Have to be patient."

Wolverine has posed:
"I'm sure ya can do a little somethin' stupid," Logan says with a smirk. That sarcasm is not lost on him. A half smile pulls at his lips as he just couldn't resist. Plus, Angelica could use to do something stupid. Just nothing that's too stupid.

Firestar has posed:
"Oh believe me. When it was Spidey, IceMan, and I we did plenty of the less than brilliant. Somehow we managed to survive though. I guess the we were charmed back then. Maybe the world took care of us because we were all kid and it wouldn't let us die yet."

Wolverine has posed:
"I got questions, but I ain't askin'," Logan says thinking that past is best left there. His ocean blue eyes on her for a moment as he gives her a nod. "You gonna be okay?"

Firestar has posed:
"You could ask. I make no promises of answers or that you'd like them." she replies. She catches sight of the clock and sighs,"You're welcome to crash if you want, but I have to be at the university by 6am. I need to shower and sleep. I don't want to run you off, but if I don't get at least 3 hours of beauty sleep I am miserable to be around."

Wolverine has posed:
"I ain't gonna ask," Logan smirks and nods. "I'll get out of yer hair if ya don't want to deal wit' me," he gives her s oft smile looking at her for a moment, just happy to see her about.

Firestar has posed:
She leans over and kisses his cheek gently,"I always want you around Logan. I just have to make sure I stay the course and right now the course leads through NYU." She stands up and heads into the kitchen to take something from her freezer and moves it to her refrigerator like normal people do for meal prepping.

Wolverine has posed:
"Speak like that n' you'll confuse a man," he teases softly and gives her a nod. Logan wants to just make sure she's okay. Angelica willa lways be a soft spot for him. He gives her a small nod. "Be safe," he says softly looking at her intently, not quite wanting to go. However, he understands.

Firestar has posed:
With that, Angelica goes into the bedroom and closes the door. She moves to the bathroom beyond and before long the shower is running. He is welcome to stay as she stated, but for her she needs sleep.
