- Jubilee has posed:
There's already a program running. Jubilee deep in the trenches of a run down warehouse that's got a few ne'er do wells as her targets. She's practicing both her powers and the art of subtly on a low level. One who can shoot sparks from their fingertips really doesn't have stealth on their side, but she's small and agile - which helps her slip into shadows and dodge peering eyes.
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan's watching from the observation, and control, area to the simulation. He doesn't touch anything. Just watches her be stealthy. Jubilee needs to learn to not be so loud. So, he's not going to impede progress. Thsoe ocean blue eyes just watching her move about.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee grabs hold of a pole and begins to climb onto the second floor, letting her feet land as silent as possible. She then makes three small motes of light and pushes them away to softly illuminate the path before her. The metal is creaky, she'll have to step carefully in order to not make a sound. Though at this point she sort of wishes she had chosen a gymnasium to just train in her acrobatics a bit more.
- Wolverine has posed:
Seeing how she climbs, he starts to make a few notes. His gaze stays on her for a moment. He'll make a few notes of how she moves thorugh it all. Seeing how the metal creeks. Logan gives pause and pulls out a coin. Flipping it. He'll catch it, smirk and anything he sees in the immediate, or nearbyish area, Logan sends a small ping. Like maybe that gate isn't as quiet as she thinks. Just something to keep jubilee improvising.
- Jubilee has posed:
A few more steps, and then she hits the weak part of a sheet of metal flooring that not only creaks, but in the still and silence of the room, damn near seems to not only echo but reverberate. Three targets come to attention and begin to move towards where the noise came from. Jubilee curses under her breath and then shifts to slip under the railing border, grab onto the lower bar before judging the landing and dropping down. She sticks the landing, only to come face to face with one target. Immediately she brings those lights back and has them begin to flicker in front of the target - intent on distracting them long enough for her to bolt away.
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan watches as Jubilee doesn't quite fumble.However, she ends up landing in front of a target. A flash of light and the target cries out. However, they blindly grab trying to see what they can fee. Jubilee has blinded her target for the moemnt. Logan smirks as he watches her think of a few things on her feet like this.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee continues to run and while most times the danger room doesn't pose real threats, there are things that will still hurt the trainees. In Jubilee's case, she goes to jump and grab onto another bar to hoise herself up, not seeing that part of the metal is poking up and she stabs it right into her hand. This causes her to actually lose her grip and fall onto the ground in a small heap of human. Curling up as she holds her hand, trying to stop the bleeding.
- Wolverine has posed:
Both of Logan's brows grow up as the hand gets pierced. Then the sight of the blood makes Logan give up a simple. "Heh. She turned up the difficulty." He looks over to see what he can do. He'll put in a few random commands. It may take her a little bit, but she does find a discarded piece of cloth that isn't too dirty. It could help stop the bleeding.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee finding the cloth may take a little time, and even when she finds it, she slinks into some shadows and uses the moment to tie it around her hand. "You know..." She says. "You could come OUT of the observation room and HELP me any time you'd like, Old Man..." Then she grins into the shadows before walking out of them, using her teeth as part way of tightening the cloth around her injury.
- Wolverine has posed:
"Why? Ya got the situation under control," Logan comments as he pauses a few things in the program then restarts them. Seh slinks back into the shadows to tie off the injury. He smirks a little bit thinking of ways to annoy her, or bring her problems. Still, he'll wait for the sarcasm to come out first. That'll help him determine what's next.
- Jubilee has posed:
"I'm literally injured in one hand. Do you know how hard it is to climb and do shit one handed?" Jubilee pipes back before letting out a sigh. "Actually, I think I'm done for now... wanna go to the kitchen and grab someting to eat?"
- Wolverine has posed:
"Tell me 'bout hard when ya gotta cut out n' eat yer own liver for survival," Logan will end the program. "Lightweight," he teases and then starts to head to the kitchen just taking his time to get there. He'll start making one of her favorite drinks because of the injured hand. Without a word he'll just hand it to her. "Here."
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee rolls her eyes. "Says the guy who could likely regrow the liver and everything else in the process with his healing...not all of us are able to self replicate..." She says this, sticks out her tongue at him, and follows him to the kitchen. As he hands her a drink, she sighs and takes a few swallows. "Mmn... hits just right..."
- Wolverine has posed:
"Figured. Lemme know if ya need a second," Logan says softly and then he pulls out a soda for himself. The beer he keeps in his own private fridge. Then he looks at her, "Need somethin' to drinkt hat with? Food?" Logan asks as he smirks and looks at the hand. "How does the pain feel?"
- Jubilee has posed:
"Pain's alright...for now. Once the adrenaline wears off it'll probably hurt like hell." Jubes says this before giving a shrug. "I was thinking food. Just not sure what. Maybe just a pizza, sure there's a few frozen ones in stock..." This as she shifts to sit at the table, taking another glug from her drink.
- Wolverine has posed:
"Yep. It will, but you'll heal. Yer tougher than ya look," Logan says to her firmly. Then he'll make a second drink for a moment. he'll start up the oven for one of those pizzas. "Fer havin' wit' the food," he knows as time goes on the pain might ramp up a little bit.
- Jubilee has posed:
"I don't think it's as deep as I feared it might be... and this is my lesson in upping the difficulty..." Jubilee offers with a grin before downing the rest of her drink. "I wasn't doing too bad either, but then something caused the metal to be louder than I thought it would." A smirk. "I wonder how that happened..."
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan smirks as she gets accusatory. "Flipped a coin. Figured give ya chance to see how attentative guards were. They weren't trained soldiers, but ya weren't quiet," Logan says honestly as he looks toward Jubilee. Just letting her know he didn't go as intense as he could have. However, he didn't go soft on her either.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee rolls her eyes. "Just means I need to practice more, yeah? I'll get better." She kinda has to if she wants to be her best when the X-Men need her. With her first drink done, she takes up the second and sips at it. "I mean, be honest. I wasn't all that bad in there, right?"
- Wolverine has posed:
"You weren't as bad as ya think. Were ya as bad as yer first time? Hell no. Could ya use work? Yep. Not as much as ya think," Logan says honeslty looking to her for a moment. Giving her a moment to drink it all in. "It's the finer things. Harder to master, it'll take the same amount of time as the basics, but it talks 'bout yer strides as much as yer flaws." And he'll leave it at that lest Jubilee asks more questions.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee seems to think on it for a moment and then just nods her head and smiles. "So. What's our choices for pizza?" Asking as the looks to the freezer and then takes another sip of her drink. She's actually also going back through the danger room in her mind, trying to perhaps pin down the moment that things kinda went wrong. Squeezing her hand, she hisses a bit, and then unwraps it to look at the wound again.
- Wolverine has posed:
"Well, we could get a frozen one of like three varieties or we could go out fer a pizza," Logan says as he is looking at her for a moment. Those gears turn and he has to ask. "What are ya thinkin' so hard 'bout? It's just frozen pizza." He knows she's probably going over some fatal mistake, from her perspective. So, Logan's trying to bring her out of that. Get a fresh set of eyes on it later.
- Jubilee has posed:
"I mean you turned on the oven, but I suppose you could turn the oven off and we could go out for pizza." Jubilee speaks and then tilts her head one way while she still seems to think really hard until Logan tries to distract her. "Hmm? Oh. Just...stuff. From before. Trying to figure out where I went wrong..."
- Wolverine has posed:
"I know where ya went wrong," Logan says softly as just kind of matter of fact. When she gives a response, he'll be quick to add, "Yer over thinkin' the post mission. Gotta give it time to let it sink in. Think on it a day later," he grumps a little bit just helping Jubilee get out of her head. Well, attempting to.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee blinks and glances to him for a moment before she takes in a breath and lets it out slowly. "You know what a great distraction would be?" Asking this with a smirk. "Pizza. So why don't you take me out somewhere..." Offering this much as she downs the last of her second drink and then looks at her injured hand. "Might need to re-wrap this a bit better. With gauze and medical tape instead of a rag..."
- Wolverine has posed:
Going to the oven, he flicks it off. Logan then nods, "Hand first then food," waving about to folow him, Logan will head to the gathroom. Pulling out a simple med kit. Field medicine is something Logan's actually good at. "Hand on the countertop," he nods then starts to undo the makeshift bandage she had. First, comes the antiseptic to clean out the wound. A simple warning comes forward, "This'll burn," and thats when the liquid hits the wound. Small bubbles eminate from it as it makes a small sizzling noise.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee nods, standing up to follow him to the bathroom. Then she follows his instructions - because she has learned that there is a time and place to defy Logan and this is not one of those times or places. She'll brace before the warning as he pours the antiseptic to clean out the wound, hissing as it burns. "Mmn...yep...stings a bit..." Saying this through gritted teeth. "Thanks for all your help though. I think I'm doing better in some areas because of you."
- Wolverine has posed:
A nod comes Logan as she thanks him for help. Wordlessly he just readies the gaus and medical tape. Dressing the wound as best he can. "This'll hold up better. Might need to change it if ya get too much pizza grease on it." Ocean blue eyes look at her, "Try squeezin' the hand n' tell me how it feels." It might hurt, or feel tight, but it'll be good for tonight and maybe tomorrow for a bit.
- Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee watches him dress the wound and once he's done she'll squeeze her hand a bit. A little wince but better than before and she nods. "It's tight, but that's fine. I'll try not to get much grease on it." This and then she leans in to kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks again. So. Pizza?"
- Wolverine has posed:
"Pizza," Logan nods while answering in the affirmative. "Yer buyin', right?" he jokes knowing damn well she isn't. "Jeep alright because of the cold?" It beats freezing on the bike. Still, he figured asking would help. Those ocean blue eyes looking back to Jubilee making sure she's keeping up as they head out to the garage. Pizza awaits.
