"The day of the week doesn't change what the purpose of a gym is for. And I have a feeling we're going to be needing it." "I can't say for certain, but consider it a hunch. And everyone needs to be ready."

"Last I checked, gyms were for training— Not for posing."

Likewise. Never in a million years. Never if he were the last man on the planet. Never if my life depended on it.

"If anything, wherever Logan goes is bound to smell like that guy. As for lust? That's not a conversation I want to be having with you and I can assure you it's anything but that.."

"X-Men's great leader, everything I've ever done for the greater good of mutantkind.. for peace between the homo-sapiens and homo-superiors..." "And now I'm getting relationship rumors like a kid in highschool. With 𝘩𝘪𝘮 of all people."

// It ain't much, but it's honest work. 👨‍🌾

"You never get used to the sniffing." A drawn sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I work closely with Logan as I've been doing for years now, just less so these last few. It's strictly business. We're X-Men.."

"Please stop listening to pointless gossip and rumors."

Averting my gaze from Bobby the remainder of the day. As far as I'm concerned.. Nothing is happening.

"Maybe we're due for an X-Men beach trip."

. . . ?

"Soup for dinner tonight."

"Logan. How often is it that we aren't at each other's throats? So don't you think by now we've come all this far and you want to play teammates?" "That or your budget's cut and you want me to pay in which ... Not happening."

"Oh? We were playing friends today? Or coworkers? You? You're saying you want to get burgers together?" "And unless someone put you up to that I'd find the quality time initiated on your end almost concerning. If you're sick we might need a doctor."

🫩

"And last I checked you were plenty capable of feeding yourself, or did you come looking for handouts today?" "I'm sure there's some salmon in the river somewhere you can catch."

My monkeys, my circus... But that's a problem for Scott tomorrow.

"No, I'm sure I said cereal. If you want Five Guys', that's on your dime there, Logan." "Though I'd warn you there's no endless bottles of liquor that way."

"Pretty sure I've been adult a good few decades now. Fortunately, anyway."

"I'm thinking... maybe cereal for dinner tonight."

// Dee has me crying going off the Batman's mentor joke

I'm proud of the man you've become.

Transmutation to a bat creature. It was always difficult for him to maintain a more .. human form. It was hard emotionally, socially. But he overcame it and learned to tame the beast within. Our own Beast had taken him under his wing as well. But the shedding was a lot.

Dinner.

"Shame, I was looking forward to actually beating you."

Not a single scar on my heart came from an enemy. They all came from people who “love” me.

"Logan not being a team player per usual. Then again we already established who was winning anyway." "So by default looks like I win. Better luck next time."

// Someone's very excited... (We will be macking later)

// 🪽? ❄️?

// the itch I have for one other x-men ... We'll see. Don't wanna go overboard after such a long hiatus

"I have plenty balls."

"Oh, c'mon, Logan. It's a team building exercise. Because like it or not we ARE a team, you and I." "Can't handle a little friendly competition??"

"Small."

"With his eyes closed, he says. Big talk... for someone so—"

"It's not just in the classroom where you're getting schooled, but out on the court."

He was a difficult student.. Tried doing things his own way rather than learning through a mentor. Always stubborn. I'm just glad he has his abilities under control these days. There's nothing easy about training get an omega level mutant.

It's been an honor teaching him everything he knows

My brightest student...

"Still losing either way."

"Sounds to me you'd just rather skip out on a game because you know you'd lose." "I can understand that. Sleep away."

You've had plenty time to hibernate, Logan.

"Days like this— training's best done through recreational means."
