Lifting

[Wolverine]

Logan clenched his teeth slightly as he pushed, all the veins in his arms forming as the bar lifted up from his chest. He usually spent a lot of his time here, a good place to think, and a good place to get all of his frustrations out without beating the hell out of Scott or anybody who likes to piss him off. Johnny Storm is one of them. Even after Johnny and his stepdaughter Amiko got married and had children, there is still a tension between them, well, a tension on Logan’s part anyways. So every time Logan punched a punching bag, it was his fist breaking his body, and the speed bag, it was Johnny’s face getting batted around by Logan’s fists. Sure helped him get a workout all right, a good one too.

The burly man lifted the bar a few more times, letting out a light growl as he lifted one last time before letting the bar catch on the rings with a loud clank. Logan wiped himself off quickly with a towel before taking a glance around to see if there were any others around. Not much has been going on lately here at the Xavier’s school. It was always the same old stuff, no trouble, only students getting detentions and so on. To be quite honest, Logan was starting to miss some of the action. Not even the Brotherhood has been prowling about looking for trouble, not that he knew of anyways. Boring. That was the word to explain it on.

As he started to put the weights away after using the bench press, his music was interrupted and turned to another station. Blue eyes immediately shot up and over at the boy who was now looking at him like a deer caught in headlights. The fact that the kid just stood there like an idiot didn’t make it any better. “Change it back, bub..” he snarled with a warning growl.

“S-sorry Mr. Howlett James sir.. I saw you putting the weights done and just figured..” the boy tried to explain but just trailed off as he pointed to the radio.

Logan just shook his head and lit up a cigar with his small zippo, the symbol ‘X’ carved in it. The boy just looked at him again with that dumbfounded face that was really starting to annoy the hell out of him. “what?” Logan asked bluntly, tensing his shoulders in an intimidating manner, “never seen ah guy smoke before?”

The boy licked his lips before answering. “You’re not permitted to smoke in the gym, sir, its on the rule list over there Mr. Howlett.”

“What are ya my mother?” Logan snapped with a disgusting look on his face, never even giving the rule poster so much as a glance. This kid was pathetic to the point it made him want to vomit. Without another word he carried on to the next machine.

The boy was just speechless, his head just kind of following the bulky man, mouth loosely open. Slowly it closed and he swallowed.

[Steamin' Hot Hotty - Kit]

"He's right you know..." Miss Kita Storm stated as she made her way through the gym door. As she looked around the young headmistress used a finger to move a strand of dyed red hair back into the short mess of black and red streaks of hair. "Don't make me due what mom used to." She said to her grandfather with a smirk.

She then turned to the student, who was obviously very new to the school...He had to be if he chose to pick a fight with Logan. "Jimmy, why don't you try coming back a little later?" She suggested. The boy seemed not too happy with the suggestion, but it beat getting cut to shreds by Logan.

Once the young one was out of their hair Kita picked up a set of free weights to use. She hoped he knew that she really didn't care where he chose to smoke, so long as it didn't interfere with others..."So...You seem in a cheery mood..."

[Wolverine]

The boy nodded at the girl and couldn’t help but scope her out.
Logan didn’t even seem like he noticed Kita as he marched on over to the cable cross fly, adjusting the weights to a reasonable weight for a man at his fitness. A puff of smoke let out his lips as he straightened himself up, using the machine. “Yeah?” he finally asked bluntly, not honestly caring much about seeming like an asshole. People always thought he was an asshole, it was his nature, and if you didn’t know that by now you’d be quick to find out.

After pumping the weights a few times, letting his chest bulk up, his blue eyes fell on his granddaughter. “How’s you’re mother? She sick of your father yet?” Even though Kita knew that Logan was just being him usual self, the fact of him bad talking her father would likely get under her skin, then again, maybe not.

[Steamin' Hot Hotty - Kit]

Kit just rolled her eyes a bit, far too used to hearing her grandfather badmouth her dad. "Still living together, still in love, and still married." She answered as she looked up to Logan a bit, lifting the weights with both hands behind her back to work on her triceps.

"You know...After all these years one would think you'd at the very least accept the fact.." She added. "But yeah she's doing well." After a few reps she changed the position of the weights. Though she loved her grandfather she always found conversation with him on the awkward side, never knowing just what to say. Sometimes she just wished he'd be more like regular grandparents...But then she remembers just who taught her mom all she knows...who in turn taught Kit all she knew.

After a moment or two she just let out a sigh as she placed the weights on the floor. "So how's my favorite ojiisan?" Ojisan of course being Japaneses for grandfather.

[Autumn Kulas]

Unlike most in the school Autumn was not put off in the slightest when she saw Logan in the gym. In fact, he was one of the few in the school she looked up to...he was an animal, as was she. As she made her way past the headmistress she just pulled her long wavy blond hair into a neat ponytail before nodding a hello to the girl.

As always Autumn wore a half torn tank top tied just high enough to show off her flat stomach along with a pair of workout pants and sneakers. She glanced over to Logan half wishing she stretched before heading into the gym but the thought of it quickly passed away...After all, there were more annoying men in the school to worry about...Kit's brother for example. As she stretched out her legs to prevent cramping she quietly listened to the two being reminded once again of the family ties the two shared.

[Wolverine]

“I’m your only grandfather,” he said almost bitterly as he continued his work out, giving the young girl a smile to let her know he was kidding about it not being a good thing that he was. The guy had a rough outer shell but he loved his family, just hid the fact best he could. Why? That was just the way he was.

Logan’s attention was then struck by someone else coming into the room. He has seen the woman around at the training sessions in the danger room before. Autumn was her name after it took him a minute of thinking to remember it. His eyes squinted a moment as his blue orbs were glued to her as she bent over in front of him to stretch.

“Your brother staying out of trouble?” he asked, his dirty man eyes still watching the woman stretch on the other side of the room,” heard he’s been causin’ some trouble lately.”

[Steamin' Hot Hotty - Kit]

Kita just smiled back. "That doesn't make you any less my favorite, Ojisan." She replied as she continued her workout as well. "Yeah he's doing fine...Takes more after dad at his age I suppose...I'm hoping he'll find a nice girl to settle down with like dad did with mom..." She paused shrugging a bit before noticing Logan's attentions weren't exactly on the conversation.

All she could do was let out an elongated sigh...Too bad her water was boiling hot...She could tell by the look in his eyes he could use a bit of a cold shower at the moment. "But then again when does David not cause trouble? Honestly...He has mom's rebel streak and dad's....well he is his father's son..."

[Autumn Kulas]

"You mean his father's libido." Autumn chimed in as she stepped onto the treadmill, starting a nice steadily paced jog. She couldn't help but smirk at herself for the remark, quite glad David didn't come around the school any more often then he did. And she was sure if he ever decided to hit on her there would be a world of pain in store for him. Honestly, she couldn't see what girls saw in the son of The Human Torch.

Noticing Logan watch her just made her smirk all the more... Her cat like eyes not on him, but watching as he lifted the weights. "And honestly Logan...if you're going to stare, you could at least make it a bit less obvious...Or at the very least wait for something to really stare at." She commented in a half joking tone, wondering if he knew after the treadmill she tended to work on her acrobatic skills...Of course, she could stay on the treadmill for hours before that...

[Wolverine]

Logan gave the woman an odd, unreadable look when she called on him for checking her out. The man eventually let out a light chuckle and nodded his head. “If that’s what ya wanna call it, bub. An what if I was? Gonna run t’daddy an tell?”

Logan continued to work out, despite the looks he knew he was getting. He could practically feel her stares burning him whenever his back was turned. “If yer gonna stare, how bout ya do it at da bar tonight. I planned on goin..”

(sorry my writing is just dead XD)

[Steamin' Hot Hotty - Kit]

Kit couldn't help but smile at the scene that had been laid before her. She gently put the weights down before stretching out her arms a bit. "Well, as much as I'd love to stay and chat...I believe I have some work to do." She stated...Of course it was a lie, she just didn't want to interfere with this little...meeting, she'd be afraid that she was ruining a good moment by interrupting something.
