Date of Scene: 28 February 2018
Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: X-23, Daken




X-23 has posed:
With the recent cases of mutant kidnapping in Mutant Town, Laura has taken to being much more careful, unsure who is behind those. It can always be the Facility looking for new candidates for weapons, and Laura isn't interested in being caught. So she found herself one of the tallest perches in the city, the rooftop of LexCorp Tower, where she sits on the edge, looking down at the world below.

Daken has posed:
Daken was a little curious about the mutant kidnappings too, though he had no desire to be captured himself. But then again, always the most chill person in the room at any given moment, he decides to check on Laura and make sure she is presently safe and sound. Oh look, there she is!

He walks up behind her, dressed in a trench coat with fur around the neck and lace of the coat itself, a red tanktop underneath and black jeans with combat boots. fingerless gloves on his hands. "So this is where you'vebeen stalking. Hey sis." he smiles.

X-23 has posed:
It's a bit of a cheat when Daken is on the look for Laura, able to track a target much in the manner she does, making it extremely difficult to stay hidden. At least from him. "You keep following me..." Laura notes without even looking back, she can smell him all the same, and apparently she still hasn't figured out the whole 'looking after' concept.

Daken has posed:
Daken offers Laura a two finger wave even if she doesn't look back. "and you keep failing to understand what 'looking after' means." he takes a seat right next to her. It's lazy in it's set up, but it's experienced. He's not going to fall off that ledge, after all. "Came to check and make sure you were alright. Heard about the kidnappings."

X-23 has posed:
"I am a weapon, I don't need looking after," Laura intones, almost as if it was a memorized response to any manner of questions and comments. She turns to look at Daken for the first time since he arrived when he sits next to her, "I am still free, I am alright."

Daken has posed:
Daken yawns a moment as he sits down, apparently a little tired! before he watches the sunset, eyes looking over at Laura as she tells him that she's quite alright. "So I can see. Well then, I know you don't, but it's something siblings do for each other anyways." a smile then.

X-23 has posed:
"I don't understand having a sibling," Laura intones, which is a fair enough excuse, she's not used to being anything beyond a weapon, a tool of the Facility, to be aimed and fired at a target, who eventually winds up dead. "Am I to look after you as well?" It's a genuine question, asks devoid of all emotional input.

Daken has posed:
Daken chuckles softly. "Neither do I, but hey." he teases her softly. Though as she looks at him with that kind of question that would make others stop dead in their tracks, he chuckles softly. "You don't have to. After all, I'm the older brother." he shrugs.

X-23 has posed:
"You think you're better?" Laura asks, her nostrils flare at the perceived slight to her skills. "You haven't seen me in action." She seems confident enough in her skills.

Daken has posed:
Daken grins softly. "Oh, I know I'm better, and you haven't seen me fight either. Though I don't really have an interest in fighting you, sis. After all, supposed to watch each other's backs right? Try not to be so confrontational." he grins softly to her.

X-23 has posed:
Laura snorts, "you want to fight me?" She asks, apparently not appreciating being slighted in this manner without a trial. She glowers at the comment to be less confrontational, growling quietly, as she turns to look down at the street, "don't agitate, if you don't want to fight."

Daken has posed:
Daken shrugs then. "heh, not really little sister. But if you really want to.." he stands up then, cracking his neck. "Really want to take a crack at the older brother?"

X-23 has posed:
Laura continues to glower at Daken, shrugging at his taunting remark, "I don't need to, I know my worth, I outperformed Weapon X, I am good." She sure sounds confident of her abilities.

Daken has posed:
Daken chuckles. "So have I, kid. Case you missed it, Weapon X is our father. That said, your worth was never doubted to begin with." he shrugs then, looking at that sunset...
