[While there's a part of him still worried that Phoenix somehow snapped his mind or something, or that he's just hallucinating all this, Logan has been more or less talked down from the notion that this is all in his head.

Which means he attacked and threatened a lot of 'figments of his imagination' who ...weren't after all.   Way to make friends, Logan.  He's hardly about to apologize for it, or explain himself to anybody over the journals.  He's suffered enough public humiliation thanks to Julian's pranking.  

The pain of hearing about Jean's death - even if it was in a world apparently somehow unlike his own - intensifies his own claustrophobic sense of  despondency, stuck here with no plan for how to save her, even if he did get back home.

The whole alternate universe thing is still bugging him.  He knows the possibilities of what he could be like, given different circumstances, different choices.  Seems like other-Wolverine wound up with the X-Men too, though, and that thought's a little heartening.  

Still no word from anyone he remotely recognizes, which leaves him to feel the need to figure out exactly what kind of 'chain of command' he's dealing with around here.  He sits up on the roof, one arm slung across his knee as he looks out over the beautiful landscape.  It's breathtaking out there, he'll give it that.]

This is Wolverine.  [He feels like an idiot, talking to a book, but he sucks it up.]   I wanna hear from any X-Men stuck here, see what kinda numbers we're dealing with.  Who's in charge of the team?

[He sounds much more level-headed now, as if he hadn't shown up and trashed the place, or broken Julian's nose, etc, etc.  

He'd be happy with never speaking about his arrival in general again.  After a moment he adds:]

[Laura / X-23]

I wasn't trying to kill him.

Did Julian provoke you? Insult you? Someone you know?

:>

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

You're three for three.

He started it!

[ never learns :( ]

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

You tryin' to start it again? Because there's more where that came from. [Quick, anyone, these two need an adult 8( ]

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Think I can't take you? I've taken you out before.

[ FUDGING IT but when doesn't he. ]

I told you what happened to her! You were the one who started talking like a nutjob!

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

And you're the one who decided to treat what happened to her as a joke.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me!? She's died and come back so many times! Do you know how hard it is to feel bad for her at this point?

/JACKS FROM

[batfail.livejournal.com]

/TAKES IT BACK

[unhands.livejournal.com]

None of your business, Stephanie.

/BREAKS IT

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you need to show some tact before you start calling me Sdebanie again.

/PUNCHES

[unhands.livejournal.com]

[ what the hell is tact ]

Fuck off.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Wow. Really.

I like how our conversation before went in one ear and straight out the other, Julian. You're not even trying.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

[ HE DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS NRGNGHHGHGH ]

Shut up.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Broken record.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Nosy idiot.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Let me get the book of insulting things I could call you, hold on. It's thick.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

I don't know what kinda crazy world you're from, but back home, we just got her back after we thought she was gone.

And then this thing woke up instead of Jean.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Phoenix, right? Yeah, that happened like, five years ago.

Ms. Grey was my teacher. I know what I'm talking about.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, that's what the Professor called it.

So maybe I'm not from another world. Maybe we're from a different time.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Tuh. Maybe.

[ doubts it ]

I don't know. My powers didn't even manifest when that shit happened.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

[Masochism... kicking in... Hrnnngh. ASKS:]

How'd it end?

[unhands.livejournal.com]

The first time? She went crazy, died, and then came back to life.



Actually, that pretty much summons up everytime. The Phoenix Force would take her over randomly though.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

You said earlier she was dead. That they both were.

[unhands.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she died while I was at school. So her as Phoenix died.

The Phoenix Force isn't dead though. It can't die.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

How? Who stopped her?
