Logan	The loud clanging of someone banging metal on metal reaches your ears with a loud clatter. Next, several choice words in, what appears to be the English language, assaults your ears. Then, a grizzled, hairy man wearing a greasy, white muscle t-shirt, greasy jeans, and a cowboy hat peeks up from a very old motorcycle on the floor near the southside bench.     Grumbling to himself, Logan wipes his hands on a cloth that was dirtier than he was, and tosses it on the bench, followed by the wrench causing the loud clatter. Sighing loudly, Logan moves to the bench, and picks up a green coloured can of beer...looks like "Keith's" is written on it.     Upending it over his mouth, Logan peers into the empty can with a sad look on his face. Another sigh, followed by a loud, "CRUNCH" as Logan crumples the can, and the tosses it in the Hank-ordered recycle bin.
X-Man	After talking with Alex a few days ago, Nate felt a little more comfortable wandering around the Mansion, and getting an idea of what is going on. He hasn't seen the younger (older now?) Summers in the last few days, and so Nate figured he'd take matters into his own hands. The sounds in the garage draws the young man's attention, and it isn't long before he's made his way in that direction. He takes a moment to look around, admiring the vehicles, before his eyes land on a somewhat familiar figure... at least from his past. Nate watches for a moment, thinking about how to start a conversation, and grins when he see's his opening. He levitates fresh cold one from nearby fridge, and places it on the bench where the old one happened to be, "Hi.." his voice calls out, since he's sure he's already been noticed if /this/ Logan is anything like the Logan he knows, "...looks like you could use 'nother one."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn doesn't have much to do today. She's had some rough days the last week. So today she's relaxing. Just wandering around a bit. Well, flying around a bit, with the rest of a fair corn dog in her hand, nibbling she ends up in the garage. SEeing what's going on, she giggles "Oh hello. Party?"
Logan	Logan opens up his fridge, right beside the bench, and takes out a cold beer to replace the crumpled can. As the others arrive, he sighs, and finds it in himself to offer each of them a beer. "Any of you want one? I'm only on my fifth, so got plenty still."     Logan watches as the beer levitates out of the fridge. Snorting, Logan says, sarcastically, "Sure. Help yourself. Ah kin always use another one. And another one..." Logan peers at Pixie and says, "Not a party...huh, well, maybe just for you Grey. Kid looks a little young ta be drinkin' at this time." Logan closes the fridge.
X-Man	"I was told it'd be rude to turn down a drink as a guest in someone's home.." Nate replies with a grin, and takes one of the beers from the fridge. He heads over to where Logan is working on the motorcycle, opening and then taking a long drink. His eyes glance up as Megan walks in, a warm smile greets her, "Hi, don't think we've met, I'm Nate..." as he takes up a spot on the other side of the bench. Putting the beer down, he asks Logan, "Rebuildin' or Fixin' it?" his eyes show a keen interest in the bike, "I've helped... ahh.. friends put together stuff in the past if you want any help."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn buzzes on over totake a seat on the fridge, sighing and looking at Logan. "Come on," she whines with a smile. "I've had to deal with two rapacious riot mobs this week. Tell me I haven't earned it." Once perched, she looks around to see who else is there, giving Nate a wave. "I'm Megan, hello!"
Logan	"Kirrsstclunk!" Logan opens his beer, and takes a big swig from it. "Need bigger cans..." Logan says, almost quiet enough for no one else to hear. "Yeah, true Nate. S'all good. I kin always get Kurt ta' get me some more. Quick jaunt to Halifax and back."     Logan watches as Nate speaks to Pixie, and then heads to the bike. While he was doing that, Logan smiles slightly, and nods to Pixie. "Hey kiddo. How old are ya, anyway?" Logan sniffs, and takes another drink.     Turning back to Nate, Logan moves to stand by his hog, and pats her gently. "Her and I...we been through a lot together..." Affectionate as he was, Logan adds, "...been givin' me a hard time fer about 10 years now." He grumbles. "So, both. Rebuildin' an fixin' Kin always use the help, kid."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn snickers and winks at Logan. "I'm 18 sir. Which... in most civilized countries is perfectly old enough to drink. I never understood why Americans push it so late..." Ankles crossed as she remains seated on the frige. "Of course, it's your beer, you can decide however you want. I'd help with fixing but I'm afraid I don't know the first thing about fixing one of those."
X-Man	"Nice to meet you, Megan." Nate replies back, a grin showing at the good natured whine sent Logan's way. "Two mobs?" eyebrow raised in interest, "Sounds like you've been where the parties are at. I haven't run into anythin' crazy like that since I've been here." "Great.." Nate replies back, a smile on his face, "...haven't had a chance to get my hands dirty like this since I last worked..." He pauses, decides to take another drink from his beer, "...with Forge. Thanks for lettin' me help." "Finally got a chance to meet up with Alex a few days ago..." Nate adds as he takes up a spot on the other side of the motorcycle, "...had a long talk about our experiences in different Worlds. He told me I needed to come up here, meet some more folks, and figured that I'd take his advice."
Logan	"Uh huh. 18." Logan peers at Pixie for a moment, and then smiles. "Fridge is there kiddo. Help yerself. Just don't come crying to me when Jean of Cyke grounds ya, or gives you an F or somethin'". Logan winks at Nate. "Tough mentoring." Logan chuckles.     Logan waves towards the bike, and says, "Feel free. She's a classic, so might be tough, what with where ya' are from an all."     Logan takes a last drink, fronws, and crushes the can once more. "Love that sound...hate there's no beer left." Logan leans against the bench, and tosses the can in the recycle bin once more.     "So I should blame Alex then huh?" Logan grins, letting Nate know he was kidding. "Always good to meet people, drink, have a few laughs."
X-Man	Grinning at the response from Logan, Nate throws in his two cents, "Haven't met Jean yet..." his face shows hints of not really sure how that meeting is going to go, "...but I'd have to say that the consensus is that Cyclops is all 'bout the rules." Nate kneels down, his left eye starts glowing softly as he gets a sense of the bike using his telekinesis, his 'sight' moving in and around it. "She's a beauty, Logan." He chuckles as he continues to focus, "Yeah, Alex is the one to blame this time. He might of even said I had to mention somethin' 'bout sharin' the Whiskey I've got at Jubes place." His eyes shifting up from the bike looking across to Logan. "Heard you can 'pprecaite a good Jamison."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn bends way down to her side, to open the frige she's seated on, and pulls out a can. Securing the door tightly after. "I guess since, you konw, I started to fly before I could drive, I just never got into cars and stuff. Just... how things turned out." Then cracking the can open, she takes a first careful sip.
Logan	"Well, she's a winner. Plus, ah'm a sucker for red heads. " Logan smiles, and takes another beer out of the fridge. "An ya' got that right. Rules are Cyke's domain. He's alright though. Good kid." Logan opens another beer, and takes a drink. Sighing, Logan crosses his legs, and his arms, holding the now opened beer with his right hand.     Watching Nate carefully, Logan nods slightly, and says, "Yeah, she is. A classic. Older than all the kids here, an' most a' tha' X-Men."     Logan sips his beer now, and says, "Ah'd never turn down a shot or ten a' whiskey. Jamis' a good choice. Heh." Logan chuckles. "Anytime." Jubes place huh?     Looking over at Megan, Logan raises his can and offers to "clank" the two together, "Cheers!" Logan says with a smile. "Enjoy kiddo. Ya' deserve it."
Kaydin	Kaydin arrives shortly, looking around at the people and then looks to Logan. "Hey," He says as he looks to the people drinking beer. "I am not intruding am I?" He asks as he walks over towards the bike and waits to see if folks will shoo him off or let him stay.
X-Man	Lifting his beer in salute to Megan, "I grew up with a man that was a magician with machines..." He starts to explain to her, "...place I grew up was a hell hole. He wanted to make sure I could take care of myself. Taught me all kinds of topics.." His smile is small, a little pained, but obviously good memories. "That's what I'm hearin'..." Nate responds back to Logan about Jean. "...it's a little, uh, complicated why I haven't seen her yet." It's obvious /most/ everyone around here knows about Nate Grey and Jean Grey, but it hasn't made him any braver in actually /meeting/ Jean. "I'd like that, Logan. Jubes has wanted me to come and chat with you for awhile. Told me how you've been there when things..." he pauses, before adding, "..changed.. for her. Somethin' she, and I, 'ppreciate." His can lifted in salute to the man. When Kaydin comes in, Nate looks over to him, another person he hasn't met, "Hi. Nate." he adds in way of greeting.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn raises her can right back up to Logan. "Thank you sir," she laughs, before taking another sip. Settling back in after that reach around to grab the can, ankles crossed. "You knew a magician with machines? Well, someday I may be a magician with everything BUT machines." Kaydin she also raises her can to a moment.
Jubilee	The roar of another motorcycle rolling into the garage alerts everyone to the arrival of another on a Harley. The candy apple red bike with classic flames stops short of the group and Jubilee kills the bike, then puts down the kickstand before dismounting. Her hair is wind-tousled seemingly beyond repair, so she runs her fingers through it as best she can and twists it up, sliding a pair of ornamental chopsticks into it to hold it in place. Brass goggles atop her head hold the rest back out of her face. Dressed in black cargo pants and boots, a pink tanktop and black leather jacket, but no helmet, she looks over at the bike and then to Logan. "Had to call in reinforcements this time, Hon?" She chuckles and moves over to the bike, squatting down to take a look on the opposite side from where Nate is peering in, giving him a playful swat on her way past. "What seems to be the trouble this time?"
Logan	"Hey kid." Logan says to Kaydin, "Naw, welcome aboard. Yer never intrudin', 'till I say ya' are kid." Logan smiles. Turning his attention to the others present, Logan takes a drink, and says, "Gettin' homey in here."     Listening intently to Nate's description of growing up, Logan waits until he was done, and adds, "Ah hear ya' kid. Things like that affect a man." Logan nods sagely. "Grey's should talk ta' each other kid." Logan adds to the Grey and Cyke conversation.     "Seek her out." After tapping cans with Pixie, Logan takes a moment to reach waaaayyyy up, and puts his hand on the man's shoulder. "Ya' need ta' have that talk."     Removing his hand, Logan snorts, and says, "Jubes huh? SMart girl. Anyone bringing liquor is always welcome." Logan finishes off another beer, and peers into the empty can mournfully. Listening to the roar of the motorcycle, Logan nods, and says, "Speak a' tha' devil." Logan shakes his head and says, "Always, Reinforcements are required."
Kaydin	"Kaydin." Kaydin says as he offers to shake the guy's hand. He then looks to the bike and smiles. "My dad used to have me help him fix his bike when I was a kid." He says as he then looks as another bike enters and Jubilee enters. He smiles and looks to her. "Heya." He says as he offers a hand to the woman. "Name's Kaydin."
X-Man	"Yeah, a mutant like us, and could pretty much build anythin' he put his mind to.." Nate explains to Megan, "...even managed to fix up his body when it'd get blasted up. One of the best men I've ever met." After another drink, Nate smiles up at Mega, "Real magic, huh? I haven't done much with that, but have heard stories..." Nate moves his hand along the camshaft, "No radiator right?" He glances up to Logan, "Somethin' this old is all air cooled, gotta keep it movin' or it gets hot real quick." He can hear and sense the new comer before the sounds of her bike lets most everyone else knows. "...and she shows." Nate grins at the comment about Jubilee. "No, I will..." Nate adds in response to Logan's suggestion about Jean, "...she's been busy. I'll see if she's got time soon." A promise to Logan, given even though he is a bit unsure on how the conversation will go. When he sees Jubilee, he winks at her, "Heard us talkin' 'bout you is more like it..." Nate adds with a grin. "Nothin' wrong, just givin' some TLC to her." and he shakes Kaydin's hand, friendly smile given to him in return, "Nice to meet you, Kaydin."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn raises her can to Jubilee, before taking another sip. "Hi, So I was right, it is kind of becoming a party. Just with some fixing going on. Wish I could help, but yeah." Looking to Kaydin. "You remember anything about fixing engines and things then?" To Nate, she winks. "Well I only have one spell so far."
Logan	Nodding at Kaydin, Logan says, "Nice. Didn't really know my pappy much." Logan then turns towards Nate. "No radiator. Huh. Good eye." Logan nods. "She's a trouble maker, that's fer sure. All air cooled...why I like ridin' her up ta' Canada." Logan grins and gets all distant looking like. Coming back, he says, "On yer onw time kid. On your own time. Jean, and tha' rest kin wait fer ya."     "Yeah, Megan, it seems ta' be becoming a party." Logan grins, and tosses the now empty can. Placing his hands on his hips, he turns to face Jubilee. "Jubilee. Indeed."
Jubilee	"While I do appreciate Logan addressin' me by my legal name, I prefer Jubilee to 'the Devil' anyday." Jubilee stands and grins at Kaydin. "Welcome to one of Logan's super secret garage parties, which are thinly-veiled attempts to get other people to work on his bike, cause he's just flat tired of it." "Clearly, you've got yer doohicky stuck in the hootis, and it's groundin' out the dealyhoo over there." Jubilee points vaguely in the direction of the motor. Then, more seriously, she looks back up to Logan. "Is she actin' up or ya just doin' a bit of upkeep?"
X-Man	"That's one more spell than I'll ever know!" Nate chuckles as he winks back to Megan. "I've heard Rogue is talkin' to someone that knows 'bout magic while she's goin' to college. Sounds like you two might have somethin' to chat about." Then he returns his focus back to the bike. His left eye glows a little bit more, and out from the motor will start to flow various debris... old dirt, oil, and various gunk... Then a glob of grease seems to move and flow around the out engine compartment, leaving no trace of it's passing, and then quickly followed by a similar sized glob of oil... "Cleaned up, and greased the camshaft. Should help with the Intake and Exhaust. Added a bit of oil, she wasn't bad, but figured it might help since I cleaned out the inside." "Hey Jubes, how was the ride?" His voice a bit absent as he continues to focus on Logan's motorcycle, "I invited Logan up to your place for some of the Whiskey I got when he has a chance. Maybe we can cook somethin' on the grill..." He chuckles at her expert advice, "I don't think you should be tellin' Logan what to do with his doohicky or where it's stuck..."
Kaydin	Kaydin watches the various people and seems to be listening in for the most part. He laughs when Nate tells Jubilee about messing with doohickies and where it is stuck. He then blurs out moving with super human speed away from the garage. He comes back a few minutes later with a pizza in hand and offers it to those here. "How about some food. I am starving." He says with a grin.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn slowly rises back into the air. To Nate, she nods. "Yeah, Doctor Strange. He's the one who helped me to do this. And ifyoull excuse me everyone, I have to um, get some laundry done. Sorry I Coudln't be of more help, Logan."
Logan	"Hey! That's a secret Jubes. Awww." Logan frowns, and crosses his arms across his chest in a sulking manner. "Gone and busted tha' secret..." Logan winks at Jubilee. "And if ya' must know...she's actin' up. Must be a "she" 'cause she never treats me right, and work fer a change."     Logan sighs, and uncrosses his arms. "Ya' want a beer as well Kaydin? Megan grabbed one...are ya' 18 as well"" A pause. "Up to you." Logan waves towards the fridge. "Help yerself. As fer food, kitchen is that way.""     "Thanks Nate. Huh." Logan inspects the handiwork. "Not bad. Neat little trick there." Logan nods in approval. "That will help. Nice work." Logan then turns, and nods, "Will never turn whiskey away darlin'. Good incentive Jubes." Logan grins. Then blinks. "Doohickey? Huh. Well." Logan frowns.
Jubilee	"Well I mean, to use the TECHNICAL terms, yeah. Maybe I shoulda dumbed it down for the laypersons here." Jubilee grins and leans back against the wall. "See, THIS is why I keep Nate around. He's good at all sorts of tricks. Got me to where I can walk in the sunlight, and feel my heartbeat again." She looks fondly at Nate, then back to Logan. "Hopefully what he did there will keep 'er heartbeat up and runnin' too."
X-Man	"Thanks for the pizza, Kaydin." Nate grins, and takes a piece of pizza which promptly disappears. "Mmm, still warm. Even better." "No problem, Logan. Forge would be pissed if I couldn't help out a bit." He stands up, finishing his own beer, and tossing it into the recycle bin. "Let us know when you want to come up, and I'll make sure we got all the food and drink we can handle." He smiles again, and adds "And if you see Jean, uh, please let her know I'd like to talk with her. Thanks." He walks over to Jubilee, and picks her up in a big hug. "Least I could do..." his smile is genuine, and the light in his eye dies down to normal. "Totally worth all the trollin' I get on a daily basis."
Logan	"Pizza. Huh. Nice trick kid." Logan says, grabbing a slice from Kaydin. "Ah'm impressed." Logan smiles Then, he regards Nate and Jubilee thoughtfully for a moment, and nods.     Remaining silent about heartbeats and such. Logan simply takes a bite, and says,"No problem Nate. I'll tell her. I am sure she wants ta' talk to you as well." The hug was nice. Jubilee needs that kind of affection.     "Thanks fer coming everyone. This is nice. Ah'm glad that you all joined me here. Makes for an interesting afternoon."
