Logan and Ororo | Friday morning

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

Logan stops by Ororo's room with food. Eating ensues, and they end up arranging... a date?

( This was the shit she grew up on? No wonder Africa was starving. )

Crystal and Forge - Expect the Unexpected

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

Crystal goes to the garage to thank Forge for the spotlights at the Winter Ball. An international incident is narrowly avoided, and they end up discussing their viewpoints on what it's like to be a mutant. Surprisingly, Crystal reveals her manifestation experience to Forge. Always remember: expect the unexpected.

( I tend to like to avoid embarassing incidents with foreign royals who happen to be in position to stomp my face. )

Phalanx: Molon Labe

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

The X-Men receive a call from Val Cooper, relaying a request for help from the Greek government. A military experiment has gone out of control on an island the X-Men know very well.

( They call it Phalanx, after the old Greek military formation. )

Nathan and Jim, Friday afternoon

Nathan and Jim clean up after lunch out in the boathouse with Moira and Rachel. They chat about various things, including Jim's new code name, before they're both interrupted by their beepers.

( Hopefully everyone's too polite to point out the obviously weird logic hole that the Jewish guy's referencing the New Testament. I'm just not that creative. )

Phalanx: "Flashed all their plastic spathas bare / Flash'd as they turn'd in air"

At the briefing, Forge delivers the technological solution to the Phalanx implants and advice on how to use it. It's all very straightforward.

( So, let me get this straight. We're going to jump into an island held by highly trained and regimented armed military squads, and our strategy is to run up somehow ahead of the machine gun fire and hit them on the head with an Eaton's toy department sword? )
