- Wolverine has posed:
Today is a quiet day at the Mansion. As quiet as it ever gets around here. The clouds are fluffy, the day is warm, the wind is gentle, and the birds are singing. That was true...outside. Inside, the man known as Logan is working on his old Harey Davidson in the Mansion's garage. The bike was almost as old as he was...
Logan is wearing a pair of jeans, an old, beat up cowboy hat, and a grease stained white t-shirt. The cloud of smoke around his head also reveals he is smoking one of his fine cigars.
Taking a deep breath, and letting it out, Logan grabs a rag from the shelf, wipes his hands, and picks up a can of something. WHat could it be? Ah yes, a can of cold, Canadian beer. Taking a swill, he pauses mid gulp, sensing something. Shaking his head, Logan grunts, puts the can down, and glares at his bike.
- Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Likely the bike was heard long before it reached the garage. Coming up the driveway, parking outside. The rider getting off and walking toward the door to the garage. He may even be able to tell who it is as the door opens, the air bringing her scent in the door.
Natasha peeks her head through the door first, opting to try the garage first. If that doesn't work, she'll head for the back door. Better to avoid the front since she doesn't want to really announce her presence to everyone on the grounds. Especially two someone's.
As she spies Logan, she smiles and enters, walking in his direction. Natasha is dressed casually today, wearing a pair of black slacks and a green button up short. A lightweight black leather jacket is worn over her shirt, although the weather isn't really suitable for such. Boots cover her feet.
"Just the man I was looking for. How've you been, Logan?"
- Wolverine has posed:
"Ah." Logan can hear it in the disatance. The thrum of the bike. That must be what set his senses off. A sound that seems almost familiar...tossing the now empty can in the recycle bin, Logan leans against the bench, and waits for the person to show themselves. As the engine fades, and the doors open, his eyes fall upon the person who is visiting.
A large grin covers his face, and is truly reflected in his eyes. "Tasha!" Logan says, perhaps a bit too loudly. Moving with the speed of a Wolverine, Logan moves towards her, and with his arms wide, embraces her in a very warm, and probably uncomfortable hug!
Letting her go, Logan chuckles, blushes just a bit, and grumbles under his breath, "AH'm good Tasha. How are you?" He looks up at her, and says, "WHat birngs ya' out ta' tha' mansion this time o' day?"
- Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
The hug is returned just as warmly. It's been too long since she's seen her old friend. Although she had another name for him but she behaved and didn't say it.
"I wish I could say it was just to come catch up over a few drinks but hopefully we can do that soon as well." Before she continues, she catches sight of the bike. "Is this new or one you had?" she asks, moving over to look at it with obvious interest.
"And I came to talk to you about Bobby Drake and Doug Ramsey." She hunkers down by the bike, checking out the engine more closely before glancing up at him. "They came for a visit to the Triskelion."
- Wolverine has posed:
"Sounds good. It's a date." Drinks would be nice. Logan sees her expression, though, and says, "She's an old one. Been tryin' ta' put 'er back together fer a while now. She's not being too cooperative though." His smile returns. Small talk is good. Then the true topic comes up.
Shaking his head, Logan says, "A visit? Ta' tha'...? Seriously?" Logan's eyes flash, but he controls his grumpiness. Logan instead sighs, takes the cogar out of his mouth and puts it in the ashtray. "What did they do this time?"
- Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
"Nothing. It was what they wanted to do. And by the way, if you guys are teaching them to be sneaky, you suck at it," Natasha points out in a good natured tone. She stands back up, hands tucking into the pockets of her jacket. "Doug was really the innocent in it all. He seems a good kid, despite being undead or whatever he is. He said something about having just recently coming back from being dead?"
A story for another time, she's sure.
"Bobby put him up to using his skills. They were acting suspicious in the lobby so it was brought to my attention. They gained access to a security hallway somehow. Not sure what Doug's powers are but he is the one that got it to open. I met them, took them to an interrogation room and had a little chat with them."
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan actually chuckles at that. "Yeah. Well, I ain't their ninja coach. Which is prob'ly why they suck at the whole stealth thing." Logan feowns again. Lots of frowning.
"Okay, I'll deal with them. If I haveta, I'll spank them myself." Logan frowns, shakes his head, and adds, "Ah don't know if Doug was so innoncent, but maybe. He has mean computer skills. Reads it like a language 'er sumthin'." Logan pauses, and takes a deep, calming breath.
"Ah appreciate you comin' ta' me with this, Tasha. The dumb kids coulda got themselves killed." Sighing again, Logan looks mounrfully at his empty beer can in the bin. "Interrogation eh? Ha! Bet that was sumthin'. Heh."
- Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
"Bobby played it, pun intended, cool. Doug sang like a canary. I don't think you need to do any spanking, I'm quite sure Doug won't be helping Bobby with any more schemes like this one." Natasha smiles a bit, her green eyes flashing with amusement at something. "I didn't even have to play bad cop for Doug to tell me what they were doing. And that is why I wanted to see you personally. It involved you."
She gives it a moment to sink in before she continues, a hint of laughter in her voice. "Their intention was to gain access to the SHIELD file that is maintained on you and modify it."
- Wolverine has posed:
"Sang like a..? Nice." Logan grins. "I betcha had him singin'." Logan winks at Natasha, and adds, "I wouldn't bet on it though. They gotta taste o' it. Ah'll keep an eye on them though." Logan moves towards the bench, and leans against it again. "AH, the "Black Widow Badcop!" Logan remembers that with a jagged smile. "Tha' good ole days. Ha! See n ya' make plenty o' bad guys "sing like a canary."
Then it sinks in. "Me? What did it have to do with me?" For some reason, his Canadian brogue clears up a bit. "Why would they be after my file?" Logan looks at Widow, puzzled. "Modify it? Strange..." Logan trails off, thinking.
- Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
She can't stop herself. Natasha laughs outright, a happy sound that is so at odds with the persona she utlizes. Only a few people get to see it. Those she considers true friends. Even family.
"Seems they felt that your file had a glaring error. We have your gender listed wrong. So they were going to fix it and change you into a female."
Breaking onto federal property, chancing charges and jail, for a prank on Logan.
- Wolverine has posed:
Nodding, Logan says, "Ah see. Huh. Female..." Logan's eyes flash, and he shakes his head. "All this fer a prank? AH'll deal with them..." A flash of anger, followed by a slow pause. "AH've got a better idea." His eyes take on a touch of guile and maybe a bit of...evil?"
"Maybe there is a way ta' get back at these hooligans. Heh." Logan taps the whiskers on his chin. "Revenge is a dish, Tasha. A dish that can be very cold when yer an IceBoy." Logan winks at the Widow, and he smiles.
