Buffy Summers has posed:
After a brief and somewhat awkward meeting with her cousin, Buffy had stayed in town for a few days (At Logan?s cabin no less), planning to meet with him in a more casual setting. Perhaps a surprise visit was a bit too abrupt for the seemingly uptight Scott (And truth be told, it was sheer coincidence that Logan knew Scott and offered her a ride there). This time she had called in advance and arranged to meet him for lunch at this quaint 80?s diner she had heard so much about. So here she is, anxiously waiting to talk properly with Scott. Buffy had chosen a cozy little table in a corner with a window and she peers at the menu as she awaits his arrival.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott pulls up outside on his Harley. He climbs off and leaves his helmet on the bike. After a quick glance around he makes his way into the diner. Black boots, blue jeans and, a white NYCFC t-shirt and black leather jacket accompany the ever-present glasses.

Scott spies Buffy over in the corner and makes his way to her.

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting," he says with a smile in greeting. "Do I hug you or shake your hand?" he asks with a faint curl of a smile.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles warmly upon spying a Scott, and chuckles at his question, reaching out to pull him in a heartfelt hug. "C'mon, I know it's been a long time since we used to play in the park while our dads talked, but doesn't mean we gotta be strangers right? You're still family and I'm sorry I didn't get in touch with you sooner!" she smiles. "How have you been? You look well..I'm sorry I just popped up out of the blue the other day, guess I should have given you a little warning. Didn't expect that Logan already knew you and was on his way anyway.."

Cyclops has posed:
Scott gives Buffy a squeeze and settles in across from the younger woman.

"Logan and I go way back," Scott says dryly. "Way back. Small world though. How did you meet him again?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow, detecting the slightest intonation in his voice. "Oh yeah? Guess you guys must be good friends then. And don't worry, your secret is safe with me!" she seems quite sincere as she says that. "Yeah, it really is a small world. Actually he ran into me while I was fighting vampires. Guess he initially assumed I was just some 'helpless damsel' until he saw me in action." she winks. "Guess we kinda became fast friends from there, oddly enough. He even offered me a place to stay while I'm in town .." she seems thoughtful as she sips on her lemon water.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott tilts his head. "In town?" he completes for her. To his credit there is only a hint of a crease in his forehead.

"Nobody better to have in a fight with you than Logan," he says. "What were you doing fighting vampires? No offence, but I'm surprised you /weren't/ a damsel in distress."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers chuckles a bit nervously for some reason. "Yea..Figured I'd stay in town for a couple days. Logan promised to show me some awesome hiking trails.." and..Other stuff. She bites her lip. "Hmmm, guess you're not the only one with a secret. I'm not a mutant, but I do have some unique..Abilities of my own.." she takes a deep breath. "I'm the Slayer. You know, Vampire Slayer? It's kinda my job, complete with my own set of freaky super powers.."

Cyclops has posed:
Scott's eyes narrow at Buffy.

"I have no idea what that means," he admits. "I would to hear about it though...."

They are interrupted by the server and Scott just orders a coffee.

"So, is there anything I should know about you and Logan," he asks flatly once the server leaves.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles up at the waitress. "Hi!" he greets cheerfully, "I'll have a turkey burger with fries and a bowl of ceasar salad!" once that's dealt with, she gives Scott a moment or two to order before continuing.

"Oh, you haven't heard of the Slayer? Guess I'm not as well known as I thought. I guess I was destined to fight vampires, demons and other supernatural entities. I guess it's kinda my destiny.." she sighs, taking a long sip of water. "When I turned sixteen, one day I woke up with the whole package: super strength, speed, endurance, reflexes. I guess I was..Called..To slay things that go bump in the night. This guy called the Watcher tracked me down, trained me in how to battle demons. Fun stuff, really." she shrugs as if it's all common place stuff. Which of course it's not.

And then there's that dreaded question that she just knew was gonna tear it's ugly head. She hesitates to respond, clearly nervous. "...Me and Logan? Ummm..Were just..Umm, friends..Good..Friends.." asides from the distinct reddening if her face, she laughs a bit nervously, and takes another loooong sip of water. Phew. Awkward..

Cyclops has posed:
Scott shakes his head when Buffy explains who she is. "That's... Hard to believe. Huh. Not the Buffy I knew anymore," he says. "But if I was going to trust someone with that kind of power, you would be a good choice."

Scott just sits and watches Buffy when she gets to the part about Logan.

"Sure," he says and makes a bit of a face. "Good friends. Jesus."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers shrugs and smiles, "I could say the same about you. I mean look at you. You're a teacher for a school for 'gifted' students. Guess you have a few unique..Abilities of your own huh. But I can see you as a good leader.. she smiles, tapping hedging era anxiously in the table.

She can see he's not buying the thing between her and Logan however, and it causes her to wince. As a kid, she always sought his approval, always thought of him as a surrogate big bro. But now, she's getting involved in his team mate. And that's bound to have repercussions.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. It's not like..Well..He's not such a bad person you know? I mean, Okay, so he's almost 200 years old. I dated a 300 year old vampire once. Besides, it's not like we're dating, we're just...I dunno." she sighs, rubbing her temples.

Cyclops has posed:
"Teaching was a sideline. I won't be going back this fall. I'm too busy. I guess Logan told you a few things about what he does?" Scott asks.

When Buffy gets to the Logan part, Scott looks away. His jawline tightens then relaxes. He puts a smile on his face and his glasses hide the fact it does not reach his eyes.

"Look, it's none of my business. You're a big girl," he grunts. "So when you're not, not dating Logan. What is life like now that you're the Slayer?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow. "Oh yeah? So I'll guess you'll be saving the world like Logan too, huh?" she smiles, "Well that's cool." she shrugs, "Yeah, he told me a bit about what you do, fighting for mutant rights and all." she leans forward in her chair a little.

"Listen..If you ever need help in protecting the school, you know you can count on me for help. I know you haven't seen me in action and may find it hard to believe I could even fend for myself but..Id like to be able to help out my cuz whoever I can.."

she smiles before she settles down in her chair, flinching only slightly as he mentions her complicated relationship with Logan. "Thanks, I appreciate that. And I also appreciate your concern."

Shes not too keen on further discussing her confusing feelings for Logan however, and is only too eager for a change of pace. "Oh..Well, y'know, fighting all manner of demons, protecting the innocent..Saving the world from apocalypse in ways that no one was even aware of, the usual stuff."
