Streets of Fandom, Tuesday Morning

[theworst_verine]

Well, a man could only ride that whole found family high for so long before the the reality of staying with Wade Wilson and his seventy something, cocaine addicted roommate started to kick in. The itchy feeling of needing to move on was always there, even as he stubbornly refused to give in this time.

But Wilson was better at observing things than Logan really felt he ought to be or he was eager for a little privacy as he and his girl were circling around each other to figure out what they were now. Could have been a bit of both, honestly. And then meant a place of his own close enough to get dragged into whatever bullshit was happening around the little group he had if the need arose. (And for Laura to keep an eye on him too. Not that Logan would acknowledge that was a thing she needed to do.)

But the castle? Hadn't expected the castle.

"He better not have sent me to fucking EuroDisney."

More than a little. It'd been a hot minute since the era when all the male-coded X-folk were drawn like linebackers.

"Wandered in from Baltimore in between superhero gigs. You?"

[theworst_verine]

That... did not actually make any sense. But this was Logan, so he was just gonna ignore it. This was possibly how he managed to be around Wilson as long as he had.

And maybe, possibly, semi-considered him a friend.

"Looking for a place to stay." That wasn't New York. You know. Bad memories and all.

[knightinshinarmor]

"Place has got plenty of those," Remy said. He hooked a thumb back towards the boarding house. "I went with the sentient house back there. Feels a bit like the old days at the mansion, you know?"

Did you know about the mansion, Logan? You were, like, a full foot taller than you should have been so Remy had to guess here.

[theworst_verine]

Oh, he knew it! And Remy was treated to a complicated little face twitch at the reminder.

"Apparently I got an apartment. A sentient house?" Enjoy the judgement as a nice distraction from all his issues! You know. As a treat. "Guess it's a step up from the void."

The lowest bar. And that included living inside a dead Scott Lang's head!

[knightinshinarmor]

"It keeps an eye on my cats when I'm away," Remy said with a shrug. "Your Gambit lives in a void?"

[theworst_verine]

"He's not my anything, bub," Logan replied before this Remy could go and get it twisted. He claimed no one and nothing! Kind of! Work in progress! "Just ran into him there."

And there was a team up.

[knightinshinarmor]

"Just meant he's from your universe," Remy said, snorting. "You're a bit of a stretch from the guy who got me fired for thieving." Remy held his hand at about his Wolverine's height, and then brought it up to where this one was. "And not just vertically."

[theworst_verine]

"Still a no on the universe thing," Logan grumbled. TVA bullshit and the like. "Apparently it got pruned."

By development hell. So sad. So sad.

[knightinshinarmor]

"Universes get pruned?" It was saying something that there was something about the multiverse that could still make Remy blink. "And it pruned me??"

It was one thing to hear another him got killed saving the world. It was another to hear he'd been, what, cut for the 'verse's survival.

[theworst_verine]

Oh, how Logan wished he had a drink for this conversation. What kind of Gambit didn't have booze for him to angrily steal? God, no wonder you were here.

"Lots of people got pruned apparently. That annoying kid with the fire powers. Sabretooth."

Killed the hell out of Sabretooth, though. It was great.

[knightinshinarmor]

Remy was also disappointed he didn't have any booze on him right now. Stupid character growth.

"Merde, of course Sabertooth should get pruned. But not Gambit."

He had depth! He was an anti-hero-turned-actual-hero! Sometimes! Depending on who was writing him this time around! What, was this all decided by Charles Xavier, who had cheerfully sacrificed Gambit explicitly on at least one occasion?

"That's just rude."

[theworst_verine]

Yeah, that sounded like Chuck.

"I'll make sure to say it was rude next time I see them," he replied oh so sarcastically. Clearly he didn't think that would happen, but he didn't realize that Wade was right about the whole 'til he was 90 thing.

[knightinshinarmor]

Sorry, Logan. The multiverse loved you.

"Damn right," Remy muttered. Then sighed. "Well, welcome to Fandom. I'll buy you a beer sometime. Pretty sure Kitty mans the bar at Caritas Tuesdays. Maybe I'll see you there."

[theworst_verine]

Well, now Logan couldn't go to that bar! Because Kitty had actually existed back home!

"Right," he said with a frown. It was fine. He was fine. "Thanks."

[knightinshinarmor]

Well. At least this Kitty only barely resembled the MCU Kitty? Who might actually be a "Kyle" by now.

Remy tossed him a sloppy salute. "See you around, Wolvie."

[theworst_verine]

Well, they were all dead too. So there was that.

"Logan," he growled back. But it was better than being called 'Peanut'. Just barely.

[knightinshinarmor]

Awww, did that mean you weren't going to call Remy "Gumbo", Logan? That was so sad.

"Mmhm. Okay, Wolvie."

Remy still called Ororo "Stormy", despite her telling him not to every single time for 40 years, Logan. You were doomed.
