    Summary

    Logan can feel them watching him as he yanks the box of cigarettes out of his back pocket. It feels good to be wanted. He’s not a weapon to them, or at least not to Vanessa. And the way Wade feels about his weapons, well, Logan doesn’t really mind being a weapon to him. He nocks the cigarette in his mouth, fishes around for his lighter, and flicks it open one handed.

    It’s funny. He does this more times a day than any human should be able to withstand without dying of seven different types of cancer. To him it’s a familiar motion, the muscle memory grounding and getting him out of his head. But even with his eyes closed on a deep inhale, he can feel them looking at him. Wanting him. And it’s the same way he’s been wanted before and wherever his Scott and Jean are, they at least have each other and that maybe makes it okay to want this.

    (He wonders if this universe’s Scott and Jean wanted him like that. He wonders if this Logan ever found out what happened in his past. For the first time since being here, he kind of wants to find out.)

    Logan exhales, eyes slipping half open to land right on Vanessa. “How much blood are you willing to get on your furniture, sweetheart?”

    Summary

    “What,” she says, her heart racing, “was that.”

    “What was what?” Korg asks, frowning up at her. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

    Valkyrie squints suspiciously at the ship.

    “Oh my god,” Korg says. “You did! You saw a ghost!”

    Summary

    “The most important thing to know about swordfighting,” Nandor explains, rolling up his sleeves and hefting the blade in his hand, “Is tempo in relation to distance. Let me show you.”

    (Shortly after Théâtre des Vampires, Guillermo shows up on Nandor's doorstep with a seemingly-straightforward request. Things escalate rather quickly.)

    Summary

    Loki was, as it turned out, pretty far along, as the Jotnar reckoned pregnancies. They carried for fourteen standard months and only really started to show in the last five, and it was those five months, apparently, that Loki was in now.

    His Aesir body had hit a point where it was no longer equipped to carry the child, and some unconscious reflex had shifted him to a shape that was more accommodating. Apparently—magically—his two forms usually coexisted somehow, which was how he’d managed to get knocked up in the first place.

    “They have similar instances on Earth,” Thor said, almost absently. “Something to do with waves and particles—and they have a breed of undead cat, you know, it’s both alive and dead at the same time. It’s all very interesting, the way things coexist.” He cleared his throat. “What are you going to do?”
