Mystique has posed:
Mystique Smiles as she walks with logan.. she's over the moon she convinced the poster boy for the grumpy dwarf to go shopping with her.. some people would say that it was impossible or a myth.. but here she is.. even saying that she looks over " do you think I should go like this? " She shifts slowly her whole body, even her clothes shifting to make herself look like Taylor swift! " Or, " She shifts again, "Now she's Kim Kardashian."

Wolverine has posed:
Logan isn't exactly grumpy about this, but he's not thrilled. Too many previous trips of being the chaperone turned pack mule. Logan is just expecting similar by this. "No celebrities. People are gonna want yer autograph n' be disappointed when they discover Taylor Swift don't sign the paper write," he says looking at her. "If ya wanna catch some attention pick a model from a fashion magazine. Get the looks, but none of the autograph askin'," he says and doesn't want to be swarmed by people thinking he's paid security.

Sarah Connor has posed:
So here was Logan's school. By the outside it was a pretty expensive school. Something he hadn't mentioned. As it was, Logan was supposed to be in the garage, or close to it. Which made Sarah a wee bit nervous - what if the children saw her? Why did she have to find Logan *right now*? On second thought, maybe she should backtrack and try this again another day..

Mystique has posed:
Mystique Thinks and sighs as she walk right into the garage as she's slowly shifting " Your right ADRIANA LIMA suits me best right now right ? " She smirks showing off. Logans known her long enough to know she hates to be herself with outside or out and about.. Besides she likes to be arm caandy for somebody doing her a favor .

Wolverine has posed:
Logan is walking with Mystique changing again. "It'll work," he says knowing there's going to be heads turning. The heavy foot falls of his boots touching the concrete echo, drawing attetnion of anyone nearby. Logan's easy to spot as he is going for a particular Motorcycle in the garage. It's a modern Indian, bike. He prefers them to Harleys, just a nostalgia thing from a life he can no longer remember. Dipping a hand into the inside pocket of his bomber jacket. He snags the keys and a scent catches his attetnion. Sniffing the air, the man starts to look around thinking someone familiar is near.

Sarah Connor has posed:
There's the garage.. And there's..

Holy fuck! A ..terminator? She knew they could be anyone, but she's never experienced one who could morph into another's body quite that way. Immediately Sarah pulled out her handgun - the only weapon, other than knives, that she had brought with her from the truck.

At first she didn't see Logan. And then she did.

"Get away! I'm not sure, but this one is pretending to be a student.." Or close. Sarah wasn't certain how old the school ran too. As she told him, she drew closer to them.

Mystique has posed:
Mystique Years year and years of people pulling guns on her and always having them on her.. she tends to hide them with her powers, so of course, when somebody snaps a gun.. it's like you blink, and she has one too pointed back.. even if she's using a model's face, so it doesn't seem correct. "I'm not a student I'm a teacher," she says camly.

Wolverine has posed:
"Stop!" he says to both of them. "Sarah, this is a mutant. Her name is Mystique. She's a shapeshifter. Trust me, she don't smell like metal, gears, blood or anything' like that," well she might smell like a few things. However, Sarah didn't need to know some of Mystique's life choices. "Mystique this is Sarah. Sarah's trust worthy, but jumpy," he doesn't tell Sarah's story either because it's not his to tell. Right now, he feels odd knowing both their stories. Yet, he should be quiet bout them to the other party membrs.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Still, Sarah held steady - even with a gun upon her. "Sure. A teacher. Nice try. So you've got a gun on me. 18 years of dodging your bullets.." In other words, she's not afraid.

Logan spoke up at that point, saying he trusted this.. Mystique. But he did mention the lack of metal gears. Still..

"Hey Logan." She nodded with her chin, still focusing on Mystique. Though she didn't fire her gun. Yet. "This could be a new type of terminator? They're getting trickier these days." What with John almost out of high school, and ready to take up the resistance.

Mystique has posed:
Mystique Blinks, as she looks at this girl and slowly shifts back down to her normal state ", Are your terminators blue? " She asks, putting a hand on her hip as she looks at the girl.. if Logan said she's okay she just puts her gun down.. something tells you she's doing that because she thinks she can still get you. What's more, she doesn't let go of the gun just lowers it.

Wolverine has posed:
"Sarah. This ain't a Terminator," Logan looks at her for a moment. "It's her power. She can take the form of anyone. Shapeshifter. There's a couple about n' she's the best," yes, that is a compliment.

He looks back to Mystique, "Sarah's seen some stuff. Most of it revolves around robot assassins called Terminators. They're made to look human. Perfect killin' machine. Somethin' that sneaks in, learns, kills wit' efficiency n' repeats it," he says trying to ease the tension between people. Right now, any form of social protocol is promptly tossed out. "And I've been 'round Mystique on and off today. Her scent hasn't changed much. The few changes, normal people stuff," he says just pointing that out there.

Sarah Connor has posed:
No, she doesn't *think* they come in blue. But then again, if it was a new terminator, they might be blue in order to facilitate the quick morphing. But one thing they never did was put down their guns. If Sarah had a bead on them, they most certainly would fire, and come up with a tale later. If. Usually, they didn't worry about tales.

Between that, and Logan's standing up for her, Sarah finally put her weapon away, muttering "If you're wrong, we both shall pay." *grumble grumble*

"Mystique? Is that your name? Or should I call you something else?"

See Logan? She's playing nice.

Mystique has posed:
Mystique Chuckles " it's my Mutant name.. I gave up my human name over a hundred years ago " She shrugs as she shifts her dress to put the gun back at her thigh and putting it away.. before she shifts back into the model she has a feeling the woman is here for something.

Wolverine has posed:
Logan sees the pair putting away the shooters. Ocean blue eyes regard them evenly. Breathing slowly, he speaks, "We were going to the mall. I know that's a lot of eyes," Sarah does hate prying eyes.

"What brings ya to my doorstep, Sarah. What happened," he says to the woman, curiously. This is the first time she came to him. "What will make ya calmer?" he asks, trying to find some form of middle ground. The ground may be shaky, but it's stable.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Sarah almost smiles. Well as close as she gets. "Trust me, you could be a terminator. I'm getting older." To her -everybody- could be a terminator. But she knows a pseudonym. She uses hers constantly. To the point sometimes she doesn't recognize her real name.

She raises a brow at Logan. "You? Shopping?" She guffaws. "Nothing too important, just I remembered your talking about training together. And much as I hate the prospect, I have to admit, pitting myself against someone I can reasonably count on.." She almost said 'trust!'. "..makes a certain amount of sense."

Mystique has posed:
The now tall brunette walks over and leans over to hug logan and smile " Yep he's being good I wanna try some new clothes so i can copy them and we need to get some gear for the kids to fight with " She says simply " but if you wanna spar with her you can logan I'll watch "

Wolverine has posed:
"I end up bein' a pack mule," Logan admits. "Unless it's fer a bike, coat n' maybe some boots, I ain't browsing much," he's not complaining. However, this is abundantly clear that it's a favor for someone, out of the kindness of whatever he has for a heart or a combination.

"She's a good shot, too," he gestures to Mystique. "The three of us could train," and Logan can almost hear that magic word from Sarah. "Any good army has people ya gotta trust when yer in the foxhole," the words come with a weight of experience. He does have flashes of his time in the military from the last war to end all wars. It's small bits of detail. Shattered images, but they do have an impression.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Some people had gardens. Or took care of their car. Or thousands of things to spend their time on. But Sarah had one thing. Two if you counted keeping John alive. Which brings her back to the other thing..

After 18? 19? years shooting - all types of shooting: guns; rifles; grenades; military rocket launchers; to name a few.. she was probably as good as Bucky, which is nothing to sniff at. Logan though had the air of someone like Bucky. He didn't have to be proud for everyone to see him. He just was.. was.

For Logan to say that Mystique was good? She must have made a impression on him. "Yeah?" She turns to Mystique. "So you are good?"

Mystique has posed:
Mystique blinks and sighs and shrugs her shoulders " I'm as old as this one " She jerks her thumb towards logan " And I've seen just as many if not more wars than him " She says but the way she says it .. that's not a boast more like just saying a fact.. thiers a sadness a madness in her eye's.. the kid that only comes with watching horror unfold watching war happen .

Wolverine has posed:
Logan would argue about his age, but he doesn't All of it stowed away for a moment. "We've had run ins before becomin' allies. I've been on the other end of those barrels," he admits. Just letting Sarah see where hs assessments come from. It's a very candid, firsthand experience. Plus, the stories Logan knows about.

"Thats' why you keep tryin' to bounce back n' keep doin' what's right. It keeps ya sane n' grounded," he says trying to jsut be a shoulder for Mystique. Although, Mystique remembers everything. Logan doesn't. It makes him sad for the woman. "Least ya can do the one thing models can't. Look good while holdin' a gun n' know how to shoot it like an assassin," this is his way of trying to cheer her up.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Sarah takes in Mystique's very matter of fact explanation, and she nods. "I know what it feels like." Maybe she doesn't have quite so many years, but Sarah would stack her life against Mystique's life. "Bummer, isn't it. You think you are going to live one life, and life gives you another." She shrugs.

She almost laughs. "I had a few times with Bucky that almost were fights." She nods at Logan. "I hoped you would be available every now and then at the parks. Perhaps somewhere else for one on one." She lifts her chin up towards Mystique. "Bring her along if you want to. You know where." Sort of. She changes it up quite often. "And when."

Geeze, she doesn't make easy plans to follow. Where. When. The only thing she has said was sometimes at the parks.
