Firestar	While Angelica can cook, it's always good to learn to do better. That's why this evening she is once again under the watchful eye of Vanessa, teaching her to cook new things that she isn't as familiar with and experimenting on some dishes she already does know.
Copycat	Copycat Smiles " Okay, now one teaspoon of nutmeg," she says as she makes a motion " The key for a good burrito .. is making a good mix of spices to add to whatever meat you wanna pick.. were going with beef, so that means these kinda spices " she grins " Since we're gonna be feeding a very large man.. we need alot of meat " She chuckles " So so a classic flank steak nicely chopped up would be perfect " .      The tall blue girl is currently cutting several flank steaks .. making cuts to help the spice get into the meat but also help keep it tender and apply a good sear when they cook it.. angelica is in charge of the spice mix.
Logan	Logan is honestly wandering to get a smoke. Tonight's path took him through the kitchen. There's a pause to those cowboy boots that go "clunk!" "'The Hell everyone don' here tonight?" It may sound lke a grumble, but the question is genuinely one of curiousty. Snffing at the air, Logan pauses for a moment. "Why are ya puttin' nutmeg in beef? Ain't that fer pies n' cobblers?" he asks genuinely. No one told him that the spice could be versatile. A brow raises as he watches the pair working together. He's a good six-ish feet from them. Just the way the path took him.
Firestar	Angelica looks over her shoulder and smirks at Logan,"Oh look. A guinea pig." She winks at Logan and motions him over as she goes back to getting the spices together. She nods and agrees,"That's the first I have ever heard of putting nutmeg in steak as well. That's why I keep coming back to pick her brain."
Copycat	Laughs " given the amount of other spices.. the nutmeg is gonna get drowned.. but what it does do is make the other stuff like the smoke paprika really pop," she grins " Kinda like onion and garlic it makes other flavors taste WAY WAY better " .      " Did you wanna sear the meat or leave it to me? " She asks Angelica " I figure with the eight flank steaks, that should be enough to feed that mountain of a man and ourselves," she chuckles. "Otherwise, we're in trouble," she chuckles.      " Besides, my old boyfriend said my burritos and chimichangas are the best on the planet.. and he has had them all over the world. The only thing he talked about more than them was you, " she points at logan.
Logan	Logan qurks a brow, "Poor choce of words darlin'," he says honestly. Those ocean blue eyes looking at the pair susupiciously. He takes a couple cautious steps forward. Not quite joniing them, but not as far away as he was. Staring ar the pair with the utmost guarded defenses. "Old boyfriend?" he says thinking there wasn't an old boyfriend just a boyfriend. "Sorry bout the loss darlin'," Logan says honestly.
Firestar	Chuckling softly, Angelica moves to the steaks and starts to prep them for cooking, light oil and gentle rub,"The way I see it, if this goes wrong you are the most likely to survive." she tells Logan playfully. She is a good cook already, but might as well play with him a little. The smirk she sends to Vanessa as she realizes the "wrong choice of words" and turns to laugh and then to sneeze as a dust up of pepper catches her nose. She doesn't comment on the old boyfriend bit for various reasons and leaves Vanessa to unpack that one.
Copycat	Copycat Looks over " Oh I'm sure wade is fine.. he faked his death on me before and came back with a face that not even a mother could love.. " she shrugs " He thinks I died, and now I'm blue ". She grabs the spice mix and starts to apply it to the meat " okay. Now I need you to start the rice .. and make sure to wash is till it's not cloudy ". She moves to start to open some cans of beans.. as she grabs some chili spice to add to the bean pot. " Were just making burritos for ourselves and warpath.. want some? ".
Logan	"Very funny," Logan grumbles as he is looking toward the pair. Unlike last tme, he's not moving forward. Ocean blue eyes looking back to the pair. That luagh sounds a little evil, he contemplates taking a step back. "You could do better," Logan says as he remembered -who- the boyfriend was. He moves to sit at an island nearby the pair. While he's not agreeing to be the first recipient, Logan's not stopping them either. "If I hate it, I'm beatin' both of ya," he says in a huff. Now, he simply waits to see what the pair are making. Yes, he knows the dish, but all the spices can throw him off.
Firestar	Angelica turns to the rice and starts to work through the water soaking process, getting it clearer with each cycle. She glances back at him and winks playfully,"Relax my friend. I have been cooking since I was able to stand. Vanessa is just helping to hone the proverbial sword. Just like you are. Trying to expand my horizons." She smirks a little and nudges Vanessa,"See. You coud do better than the ex." Her attention back to Logan and she looks up,"Damn ceiling isn't tall enough." She attends to the rice, water getting clearer yet,"I haven't killed anyone with my cooking yet."
Copycat	Copycat Laughs " I'm the school chef so I think we're fine " she smirks as she works on cooking the meat up for the burritos.. While the meat sears.. she cuts up some tomatoes making sure to add some spices to them as well. " Once you're done with the rice.. can you start pulling out and cutting that corn off the cob over there "s he points and looks to logan " Your right.. and I did do better," She grins, looking to angelica.. before she looks back to logan " I'm sure you'll like my burritos," She says "With our without cover sauce? "
Logan	:ogan grumbles a lot toward Angelica. No words just a small smatterng of begruding mutters. Those ocean blue eyes flick toward Vanessa. The pair are bantering a little bit. Then there is a pause as his fingers moves between the pair, "Are you two?" The brow of his raises again. There's nothing wrong with it, but Logan's just seeing he's reading their banter properly.
Firestar	Rice in clear water down, starting to cook it. She takes a good sized knife and starts to cut the corn off the cob carefully. There is a nod and she tells Logan,"Party of three? Yes. Jimmy is one of the luckiest men on the planet." she adds,"Just ask him, he'll tell you." Carefully doesn't mean slow and Angelica makes short work of the corn,"You OK with that yes?" she asks him curious,"I wondered if you could smell them both on me when we are training, but then I figured I am around the schhol enough to not carry too much of any scent other than mine."
Copycat	Copycat Laughs as she shakes her head and smirks. " From what Wade tells me logan is one of the most understanding men on the planet.. he doesn't judge because he's done worse.. helps when you're over a hundred years old " .      she looks over her shoulder " Besides.. I'm told I'm basically the 2.0 version of your old girlfriend mystique," She says as she chops the various items to add into the burritos " As a former hooker, I'm not picky.. well, maybe I've gotten picky now " she looks to angelica.
Logan	"I don't ask questions n' why should I care? If I ain't behind yer metaphorical, or actual, bedroom door then I ain't got a dog in the race. Long as everyone's consentin' adults, then yer good in my book. Long as the three of ya make it work," Logan shrugs a little bit. "Someone better not tell the Cajun then," then Logan wonders if Gambt is in on it, too. "I'm sure you'll get some stares, but screw em'," he shrugs a little bit. "Ain't their business either."
Firestar	Angelica nods and wipes the juice from the corn off her hands and checks on the rice,"Wade was right about Logan I think. Wrong in disappearing on you though. His loss, my gain." Looking over the steak and studying how Vanessa prepared it she nods. Her attention looks back to Logan and she nods,"Remy's ego might not survive knowing Jimmy has two women?" she asks curiously. She does nod in agreement,"I don't much care about how people judge me anymore. I try to value everyone for who and what they are, but my circle is still pretty small. The two of you and Jimmy. Lorna and I are getting closer. So far, that's about it. Casual accquainces of course, but..."
Copycat	Copycat Smiles and hips bumps angelica " Were happy .. anybody else is just jelous " She says softly before she brings up the steaks and starts to cut them up into smaller bits.. now that everythingis together.. she starts to cook up the masa she made before making home made tortias to put the stuff into.. wrapping it up and giving it a final crisp on a cast iron .. before she brings over the plate " So cover sauce or no? " she aks holding a nice pot of spicy sauce for logan." you can have it plain or with cover sauce.. this one is a spicy chimichurri "
Logan	"Stop callin' him Jimmy think of a new name fer this conversation," it's throwing him off. Logan doesn't openly admit this, but "Jimmy" is his name. Every now and again he thnks he's living some kind of double life ala multiple personality disorder. A brow shoots up again at the but. He doesn't say anything, Logan just wonders why that statement dangles. Still, he remains mum. None of it really phases him. Logan's not the type to clutch at pearls and scream, "Think of the children!" "Long as everyone's happy. Ain't none of my business," Logan states his position again. The man doesn't mind anything. Again, the man has no skin in that game. So, there's no need to care as long as the arrangement stays relatively drama free.
Firestar	"Uhh...kay." Angelica replies when he tells her to stop calling him by his name,"Warpath then." she tells him, not sure what is up there and not pursuing it deeply. She waits to see if Logan takes the food to try and thurns to stir a few things. "The sauce smells fantastic, but I haven't tried it yet." she comments and then stirs the cooking meat,"I would say everybody's happy as we all agreed to step up and say as much if we aren't."
Logan	Logan takes the food and starts to try it. Cutting into it. Waiting for a moment to see how the mdley of food hits his senses. Ocean blue eyes looking at the burrito. His gaze locked on the food. "Whut?" he asks and pops the first bite onto a fork. Then it gets plopped into his mouth.
Firestar	Angelica goes about trying to repeat what Vanessa did, making up another that is mostly the mirror image of what Logan got. She shakes her head, shrugging,"I don't know. That's just the first time you asked me not to call him by his name. Threw me off a step." she admits.
Copycat	Copycat Keeps making more for the man in question putting them to the side.. having made two for herself and two for logan.. letting angelica make her own before she pours the cover sauce on her own and walks over to sit with them.. she is a very very very good cook and well these are her specialty
Logan	"Well, everyone was lookin' at me 'bout the burrito," Logan says and shrugs a little bit. Ocean blue eyes looking toward Angelica for ra moment. "Why did ya let that 'But' dangle?" Logan knows. Still, that's a lot for various people to accept. Eventually there will be a line. Hopefully, it never gets to that point.
Firestar	Angelica shrugs and makes up two for herself as well. She smiles a little and once they are made she turns towards Logan again,"I don't know really." she admits,"I saw Wanda for the first time in a while the other night. It was great and it was like the family grew or something, but I just have a hard time with new people and trust. It was good to see an Alpha Flight member again for sure. Outside the Alpha Flight and the X-Men, family has become pretty scare. Aside from Spidey of course, but I rarely see him anymore."
Copycat	Copycat sighs " Don't get me started on him.. wade wouldn't shut up about him either " She sighs " I kept telling him to just go gay but he didn't like that idea " She smirks as she eats her burriot .. se looks to logan to see what he thinks of her food.. like him she just avoids the ackward stuff.. or well just talks about it.. she's a rather blunt woman
Logan	"It's not bad," Logan says of the food. The man's still kind of judging the taste. Just letting it linger. This is what he does. While he doesn't remember a lot of the when, where and how, Logan remembers the tastes. So, it makes him a bit judgemental with new tastes. Not against them, but he discerns like a foodie rather than a bar fly. "Family's what ya make it. Just remember if ya cross some lines wit' family may not be uncrossed. Depends on the person n' situation. Crossin' it fer one person may not do damage, same way fer another might cause damage beyond repair. Remember that darlin'," Logan says, just trying to make sure she doesn't get heurt along the way. Angelica cherishes family and friends, and he doesn't want to see that circle shrink because of miscalculation. "Maybe spidey rejected him once before?" Logan doesn't know Spiidey much, but it's possible. He shrugs a little bit, "IF ya want Spidey in yer life Angelica. Find him. Send him a text, somethin'," and he takes another bite of the burrito.
Firestar	A smile as the duo get pretty tall praise from Logan. She takes a bite of her own food and closes her eyes for a long moment, savoring the flavor. A slow inhale and exhale. "I have made a good family I think." she tells Logan and glances to Vanessa with a laugh,"Spidey is a prince, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. He and I have a past, the type that could have gone the way we have, but he respected that I wasn't ready for that. I could never forget that." She glances to Logan and smiles,"I have his number and I do miss him, but he spends most of his time trying to do the things alone the rest of us manage together. I love him to pieces, but he's still too much of a loner to not fight, study, sleep, fight. Stubborn." She winks at Logan and adds,"Reminds me of another of my favorite men in this world."
Copycat	Copycat Smirks " I could break em " She says with a eyebrow wiggle " But if he's a prince I won't taint him " She says with a chuckle .. as she thinks " You should call him.. I'd love to meet him.. is he a mutant too? " she asks wondering she's figured alot more heros are mutants than she thought so she's kinda curious
Logan	Logan's bite turns slow as the talk of Spider-Man comes up. All the details from Angelica. The talk about corrupting him. And all of it has the gears turning. Looking straight at Copycat, "You. Out. Give us two minutes," Logan speaks the words firmly. Ocean blue eyes looking at her, "Fer Angelca's ears only." Angelica has earned a spot in Logan's small inner circle. Copycat hasn't. It's not that she couldn't. Anyone could. Angelica just managed to make her way in. Taking another bite of the burrito, he simply waits for compliance.
Firestar	A soft laugh and Angelica shakes her head,"I am afriad you'd break him just suggesting things. He's a little...high strung. Part of why I adore him." Angelica admits,"Jean needs some help with a project and I got him to agree to come and help us once we're ready. A good chance you'll meet him then." She shakes her head and replies,"Spidey guards his secrets pretty tight, but he's not a mutant no." She pauses when Logan tells Vanessa to step away for a moment. She looks confused and looks to Vanessa. A moment to shrug and she asks softly,"He has his reasons. Can you give us a minute love?" she asks softly and looks at Logan, concerned a little.
Copycat	Copycat Stands and walks out grabbing her plate she blows a kiss and walks out!
Logan	Logan waits for compliance from Vanessa. Ocean blue eyes just watch her go and he'll even listen. "Tell yer friend, he's gotta trust someone. I've had the gift of time on my side. I could afford to be a stupid, stubborn asshole 'bout needin' help. Needin' someone. It'll hit once. Then it'll keep hittin' him. Might be how empty the bed feels. A situation where he's in over his head. There's a long list. Years of mistakes I could kinda make up. He ain't got the time. Ya gotta smack some sense into him, trust me," Logan says honestly about the situation. "Tell em' the advice comes from someone like him that does the savin' n' beatin' thing a bit more quietly. I did it outside of New York. One day he's gonna realize his stupidity n' there may not be time to undo it. I ain't askin' him to love n' trust the world, but to pull his head outta his ass. Trust a small few, trust me, he needs the support system," and Logan doesn't go into too many details. However, Angelica's comments about being similar to Logan rattled something in him. "'N I found out a long time ago, I went by 'Jimmy.' Callin' yer boyfriend that made me think I was havin' a MPD episode n' that life was partyin' wit'out me," Logan admiits honestly since it was just them. "Call him that when it's date night, switch it when it goes 'unconventional.'"
Firestar	Listening to him, Angelica nods slowly hanging on his every word. She smiles as she admits,"I will talk to him. He knows I am here if he needs. Neither of us have seen Bobby for a long time, but I am sure if we reached out for him he'd come running if at all possible. Part of me thinks part of why he is such a loner comes from when our team went their ways." "I will talk to him. I will try to knock some sense into him. Alpha Flight took care of me when I went up there, Mac and Heather helped me get it together." She smiles as he admits about his name,"I see. THat's what you meant. OK. I will do my best to make sure to come up with something else to call him around you and certainly when the unconventional. He's Warpath as soon as things go sideways."
Logan	"Thanks fer understandin' darlin'," Logan says about the name. "You can get yer lady now," he says not wanting Copycat gone too long. Just long enough to say his peace with security and comfort.
