Wolverine has posed:
Logan knocks at Angelica's door. He does have some Japanese beer, in cans, in the hand that doesn't knock. His ocean blue eyes stare ahead as he waits for the door to open. There's a lot to catch his friend up on.

Firestar has posed:
A thoughtful frown and Angelica steps from the kitchen. Dish washing, so much fun. She opens the door and smiles,"Well, at least I don't have to go put on the protection suit. Come on in." she offers.

She considers him for a moment and adds,"You look like you have the proverbial weight of the world on you. What's going on?"

Wolverine has posed:
"Nope. But I'll keep the beer away from ya. Can't have ya warmin' it up," Logan teases lightly. Then he looks at her. Honestly, there is a calm in those eyes.

"I got to stab someone, it helped. A lot," Logan's face is that neutral "There was a heist at the museum. Ghost Spider, Hawkeye and another X-Man was there. IT helped me," Logan chuckles. "Even if I got tossed into a window," Logan chuckles and sits down. "That's not the half of it, but it was a Hell of a good therapy sesion." He looks ot see what Angelica is doing.

Firestar has posed:
A smirk and eye roll and she turns to go back to the sink. Pans too big to go into the dishwasher are being cleaned. Nothing too exotic. She leans over to switch on a light and then goes back to washing.

"Getting a chance to stab is fun?" she asks curiously. She smiles and adds,"Ghost Spider. She is a good friend. If you get a chance you should get to know her more." she suggests,"I don't know Hawkeye and I can only wonder if I know the other X-Man." she admits.

She glances over her shoulder and adds,"Only you would find that as therapy." she teases lightly,"Still I had a little therapy a while back. If my aim was a little straighter I would have been happier I think."

Wolverine has posed:
"It is when it's someone tryin' to kill ya. Just avoid major arteries. His eyes look at her curiously. Just trying to keeep up with her as she moves about.

"Well, there wasn't time between Vulture and everythin' went to Hell," Logan knows Angelica has an "in" with the Spiders. So, he's not shocked to hear they're friends.

Well, it was better than gettin' a fight in a bar," Logan says back with a smile. Then he opens a can with a, "Pssshhh," as he cracks it open.

"What happened?" he asks her, curious what Angelica got into.

Firestar has posed:
"Touche'." she replies to the stab when someone is trying to kill you.

"Pesky bad sorts interupting social time." she muses with a sigh and drains the sing, then washes it out. Dishes done. She leaves them in a rack to dry and turns to lean on the island across from him.

"Oh it was weird. I walked out of the apartment on the street. There was a pretty blonde throwing hands with a guy. A started to go help her, though to be honest she was holding her own. His face changed, fangs appeared, and she didn't flinch. I almost blasted him, but I guess I still had a little hesitation where those things are concerned. Less hesitation, more startled by the sudden appearance."

A shrug and she replies,"Buffy and I had a conversation here for a while. Apparently she kills them as a duty or something. Hoping to get to spend a little more time with her. Learn from her."

Wolverine has posed:
It's only the talk of someone with long fangs that remind him of something. Logan looks at Angelica, "Ran into Dracula and some kinda copy of Polaris. She's associated wit' the guy, too," he remember how that fight wents. How he wanted to stake Dracula. And he's not expecting this portion of the talk to go well. Logan listens to talk about Buffy. That makes him very curious. Ocean blue eyes look toward Angelica as he wonders how Angelica will take all of this.

Firestar has posed:
She pauses and blinks when he mentions running into Dracula. In the past, she might have flipped out, but instead she sets her jaw a little,"You know for sure it was him and not just some poser trying to get clout?"

She grips the counter a little and the air just might be a little warmer than it had been. She blinks and reins it in. Walking over to the thermostat, she lowers the temperature a little,"Sorry."

Wolverine has posed:
"Called himself Dracula, his minion called him dracula, and he looked like Dracula," Logan looks at her for a moment. Then he looks at the raise in temperature. "I'll stay on the couch if ya want to make sure Fangface stays dead if he tries something stupid," Logan just offers without flinching. Not the first time he would be a guard dog.

"I insist," he'll say before she could counter. Angelica is under his protection, so he will try to protect her.

Firestar has posed:
She sighs softly and shakes her head,"I need this. I really need this." she grumbles. She rests her elbows on the counter and lays her face into her hands. She does start to argue, but when he insists she finally nods,"All right. Maybe you will meet Ghost Spider someday." she finally manages.

She walks over to the living room and takes a seat. Slumping a little, she looks out the window,"I will have to talk to Buffy again. Make sure I remember. If memory serves, vampires can't enter without an invitation. I won't be inviting anyone that I don't know already."

Wolverine has posed:
Logan sees how Angelica reacts to that news. How the face goes into elbows. How there's something that looks like frustration and exhaustion. It's why he offered in the first place. "Ya tryin' to set me up? I did kinda meet her at the museum. Ghost was there, but it's not like we went out fer a beer after," which is Logan speak for "We didn't talk after."

"What can I do to make you feel safe?" Logan asks seirously.That kind of question may seem simple, but the answer could be very complex. Emotions, and fear, cna complicate the simplest of answers. And os, Logan is waiting to hear something that seems "impossible." Possibility is something he can decide, no one else, especially since this involves him.

"I mean it. What would it take? Say anythin'."

Firestar has posed:
"Nah. Nothing like that. I think she has someone. At the very least someone on the line. He's pretty intense, but seems to like her. It doesn't hurt that he has money either." she replies about Ghost.

She shakes her head and admits,"I don't know. You know me. Research is the name of the game. I will reach out to Buffy later and try to meet with her. I want to make sure what does and doesn't turn them. Where they can or can't go." She sighs softly,"Religion has always been outlying for me, so not sure holy symbols will help. I mean I believe, but I am not really practicing anything. Not sure that will help or not."

Wolverine has posed:
""Ya sure?" Logan asks curiously. Ocean blue eyes stay on her. He just feels that demeanor change. How it's palpable. IT's a little disturbing.

"I want ya to feel safe in yer own home. Talkin' like this, screams ya ain't. So. What can I do besides get salt n' books," Logan knows some basics. However, that nitty gritty stuff is new to him.

"A blank slate is probably uesier to use than a partially used one." Logan looks at her as he can feel Angelica worrying about religion. "I can tell ya scared. That's why I'm willin' fer as long as ya need a body guard," he says honestly. Angelica does matter to Logan, much like others before her. She will be protected come one way or another.

Firestar has posed:
"I'd appriciate it if you stay some yes." she replies,"I don't want you to have to rearrange your entire life over this. The chances of him being here after me...sounds like he had bigger fish. Still." She sighs and shakes her head,"I am so divided. Part of me says get my crap together and go back to Mac and Heather. Part of me says Dracula is only here for his own ends and how could he know if I was here or not. One small part of me says I'm exactly why he is here, but that part more paranoid than arrogance."

She smiles a little and adds,"You're a protector by nature my friend. You have taken care of me so many times. I thank you for being willing to do so again."

Wolverine has posed:
"It's not like I'm gonna disappoint a woman. Oh no, you made my beer last a few days or weeks longer," Logan says with a little sarcasm. "Yer not turnin' my life upside down. "Mac and Heather?" he asks making sure names are properly remembered. "Well, whatever you need from me. You got it," he gives a nod to Angelica. "And yeah, it sounds like there's a new plan in motion. Just...I ain't letting him goin' after you," and that's as simple as that.

"We both know if I was gonna charge ya fer my help, I woulda cashed in. No need to thank," he waves off him doing it again. To Logan this is just the most recent situation. There would be others down the road, they both know that. And he would be there again. "Just tell me if there's any rules. Don't wanna disturb yer home balance much."
