Firestar	Stress. It's really should be a four letter word. It isn't, so there's that. Angelica has books piled all around her. Some of them are teacher's text books and some of them are student text books. She has built them all around her bed in a little information fort and she is buried in them, trying not to think about other things. She turns a page on the book and takes a drink from a small glass. There is a partial bottle of Evan Williams sitting on the table next to where she places the glass once more. Not really even buzzed, just taking a little edge off.
Logan	A knock comes to her door. Logan waits for the door to open up. His gaze looks toward the door as he waits. In his hand is a small six pack of beer in glass bottles. Ocean blue eyes flick around the hall as he waits. Logan heard rumors that Angelica is back. So, he's waiting to see if the rumors are true. If they're not then he enjoys some beer on his own. Breathing out, Logan might push off the wall thinking Angelica isn't about.
Firestar	"It's open." she calls from ther fort, not ready to disengage yet. She takes a moment to mark something on the book and she mutters,"And I swear if it's Jimmy knocking again after I told him not to I'm gonna choke him." She shakes her head and finally looks up to see who is at the door when it comes open.
Logan	Logan's there and he holds up the beer. "Came to greet ya. Guy can miss a familiar face when it's gone fer a bit," and Logan doesn't share his beer often. It does get around he's a bit stingy with the stuff. So, him offering it to Angelica is a big deal.
Firestar	She smirks a little and shakes her head,"Jimmy, but not that Jimmy she muses and motions him in,"Come in. It's good to see you." she offers and looks around to see about moving books. Finally she sighs and gently rises out of the circle of books to float off the bed and touch that floor. She takes the bottle and cup and indicates two chairs nearby,"I missed you too. Come sit and talk with me for a while. I need something other than school and you are some of the best company."
Logan	"Depends on who ya ask," Logan says about the company part. He'll st down. "So, what do ya wanna talk 'bout? Can be about anythin'. It's yer place. I'm the guest," Logan smirks and he'll twist off the top to his beer. "I've been kinda an ass. Smethin' made me kinda grumpy," he says honestly on that one. His gaze goes toward her for a moment. Logan's not going to deny something fouled his mood.
Firestar	She snorts softly and takes a seat, setting her glass and bottle on the table between the chairs,"I make my own decisions. I don't need to ask anyone about my friends." she tells him serious enough. "I can have my moments too sometimes. Once a month for about three days I am not much fun to be around either." she teases mildly,"I've been thinking about maybe staying off the campus. Well, not staying here anymore. Maybe getting a place of my own or a place for Warpath, Vanessa, and I. I don't know. I don't ever feel like I fit in places. Might be right, might be paranoid."
Logan	Logan waits for a few moments to speak. "Yer an X-Man. I don't care if I gotta stamp that 'cross Jean, Scott, n' anyone else's head, I will," Logan says firmly. An edge starts to creep into his voice. "Yer one of us. If anyone tells ya other wise, send em' to me," he tries nott o growl. However, this is a Hill he will die on. To him, Angelica -is- an X-man.
Firestar	"You know, your approval means more than anyone else here. That you see me that way means the world." she admits and she takes the last drink of her Evan Williams. She sets the glass aside and nods,"Probably something a little less potent for a while." she admits. Her thoughts are her own for a moment and then she finally tells him,"I think I will fall in with you and Betsy for a while. X-Force might actually need me. She and I talked about it a while. A conscience that is able to level most any playing field if necessary. Maybe we will get set up somewhere with a good living area and I will do that. I don't know."
Logan	And Logan is quiet for a long moment. Things are about to gt awkward. "I don't think X-Force can afford me," he looks at her. Oh, things going to take a bit of a turn. "I don't trust two of Betsy's benefactors. The fact she's willin' to take anythin' from em'. 'Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes,'" he speaks the words firmly, fluently just with his accent. "Ever here the mythology behind Odin n' Ragnorok?" Logan asks, slipping into a -rare- scholarly like mode.
Firestar	She seems a little sad that he won't be joining them, but she doesn't press. Instead, she leans over and takes one of those beers he brought in and pops the top off of it. A slight raise of her brow and she asks,"Two benefactors? Should I think a little harder on my decision to join them?" She considers the question before her and admits,"My mythology is a little weak. I am better with Greek and Roman mythos. That said, I remember Ragnarock is like the Norse apocalypse or something? Like the Biblical end of days sort of thing?" %
Logan	"Odin got a vision 'bout Ragnorok. That's the end of the world. Kinda. Little more to it, Earth keps movin', but it's changed. Lots of Gods die, includin' Odin. So, fer the rest of his days he works on doin' everything to prevent Ragnorok. He doesn't realize til' it's too late, that hs actions -cause- Ragnorok," Logan says just giving a very basic rundown on the event. "Betsy is actin' like Odin. Especially if she trusts Nathaniel n' Lu (pronounced Lou)." He breathes out, "In a perfect world, Nathaniel would be in six pieces, wit' each piece buried on a different Continent."
Firestar	"To stop the end, you create the end." she muses softly and takes a draw from the beer. She is quiet for a while and adds,"If the Ragnorok happens we will feel the fall out I'll bet." She pauses and considers his words,"You're not really inspiring me with a lot of want to remain with the team. Her personality is in flux I think. A lot really. Who are Nathaniel and Lu? If a perfect world sees him in pieces then I really want to know who he is so I can me watchful around him."
Logan	Logan is quiet for a bit. "I know she means well, but she turned to help I don't trust. You gotta talk to her. I even briefly thought of makin' a counter team, like X-Corps or X-Factor to stop X-Force," he sighs knowing it's complicated. "I know the visions she's havin' is genuine. She is doin' what she thinks is right n' I'll never fault her fer that," he admits and breathes out. "I thnk you'd make a good fit, but we're kinda package deal ain't we?" he says not expecting that. It makes sense, he just doesn't expect it.
Firestar	"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Visions have to have a source I would think." she mutters softly. She listens to his ideas about making a counter team,"I would think if they were really going off the rails, the X-Men and Avengers would probably try to stop them." She nods and agrees,"She definately believes in the vision that she saw. No question. It is a vicious game, over thinking dreams and times lines." She takes another drink and admits,"I would rather you were there yes. Mostly because then I know at least one person I am comfortable with if things go off the rails as it were." she explains.
Logan	Logan pauses for a moment, "I'll meet wit' Betsy again. You n' I both need somethin' to cling to. You deservethe best n' I don't want ya gettin' into trouble," Logan says thinking about that one. Angelica does matter in his world. and the last thng he wants is her going into a Lion's Den. Especially if she goes into that den -because- of hm. And it worsen if Angelica goes in there -without- him. Like sending family to the dogs or somethng equally horrific.
Firestar	"I think they need more than one compass my friend. Maybe they need someone to be able to trade blows with. That's not me yet, but I'm working on it." She smiles a little and takes another drink of her beer. She studies him for a long time and tells him,"I get in trouble without too much effort my friend. I went out for a walk last night and ended up with a scrap with Spidey, Ghost Spider, and Spider Woman against the spider slayers. It was...exciting and not a little frightening will all the people around. As usual some wanted to blame Spidey for it."
Logan	"Yer stronger than ya give yerself credit for," he takes a sip of the beer. A smirk pulls at his lips. He'll take another sip of the beer. "I tried gettin' out there, but traffic came up," Logoan didn't steal one of the Mansion's resources. Sadly, he wasn't at the mansion. And so, Logan was forced to use his bike. And he couldn't get htere fast enough. "How did it go?" he asks.
Firestar	"I have good teachers." she replies to him with a wink and drinnks hr beer again. A soft hmm and she smirks,"It was exciting for sure. It was easy for me because none of them drew on me. I cooked one without any trouble and tried to back trace the remote controllers to their origin, but when they couldn't shake me they self destructed. The last I saw the spider family as it were had gotten a handle on the last one."
Logan	"You okay?" Logan asks honeslty and looks back toward her for a moment. A brow raises for a moment as he waits to gt the obvioius answer. "What else is goin' on wit' ya. You okay othrwise?" Logan has a few talks to make and maybe some asses to kick.
Firestar	She chuckles softly and takes another drink,"I am as good as it gets my friend. Outside you, Tabby, Vanessa, and Warpath sometimes I just feel like the round peg in the square hole. Probably just me over thinking things. Makes me tired and so I throw myself at my books." She shrugs and laughs softly,"Sometimes the stories about women are true, we don't know what we want either."
Logan	"'That's right. It goes in the square hole,'" Logan quotes the one tiktok video he knows. He looks at her, "Gotta think like that. Knowin' yer shape n' the hole may not match, but it still fits," he says honestlya s he looks at her for a moment. Thos eyes focus on her for a moment.
Firestar	She returns the gaze for the longest time, studying the features and lines in the warrior's face,"Sometimes it is fun to try and make the piece fit, like it or not." she comments, laughing softly. She takes a drink of her beer and sighs softly,"Thanks for coming to check on me tonight." she adds.
Logan	"Didn't mean like that darlin'," Logan takes another sip of his beer. A moment later, he takes one of the bottoles, leaving the remaining three with her. "Stay safe darlin'," Logan says firmly and starts to head toward her door.
Firestar	She watches him prepare to go. A hand rises to stop him, but she lowers it again. Instead she forces a little smile and tells him softly,"I still have a lot to learn my friend. Take care of yourself, thanks for the beers and the company. I will see you soon."
