xp_logs | Aftermath: Kane and Tandy

Kane re-assures Tandy after the mission she did well.

The ceiling of the med lab slowly swirled into focus as Tandy opened her eyes. The young woman was in one of the beds, and had company in the room. Several other beds were filled and lesser injuries being treated all around her as response to the mission. Beside her, perched on a stool, was Kane, still in his bloody leathers. He gave her a nod as she woke up and turned to him.

"Hey kid. Docs said you'd likely come around once Collins' crap was flushed out of your system. How you feeling?"

Blue eyes blinked slowly as she focused on the individual in front of her. "Kane." She slowly sat up. "Did we win?" Looking around at the others and winced as she touched her nose. "Didn't work did it?"
“It was a hell of a smart idea but against the wrong enemy.” He said. “But yeah, we won. A few of us got banged up but we got the intel we needed. In part thanks to you.”

"I'll take a broken nose over a heart imploding." Tandy tilted her head, "Me? I felt like I didn't contribute to anything in this mission."

"You drew her out which gave me a clear shot. That's why we're a team." Kane patted her on the shoulder. "Next time, I'll let you deal the knockout blow. I mean, Magneto is out there somewhere."

Tandy smirked as she felt the pat on the shoulders. "When you put it that way, I am glad I could contribute to something. And yeah, that is a scary thought. Isn't he really old now? At least with that one I know not to wear metal."

"Right, you've been out of the loop. Magneto is really old. He just doesn't seem to look it any more." Kane shook his head. "When I was stuck with the Brotherhood, he looked like some matinee idol from the 70s. All he needed was a cool brown leather jacket and some Tony Lama boots to be in a John Cassavetes film immediately."

Tandy shook her head at that, "Wait, he doesn't look like it? What did he do? I want to know his secrets. Could make a lot of money from eternal youth. I know people in the industry that would love to know the secrets." Tandy rubbed the back of her neck, "So what do you think? I didn't do much on this mission, but it was supposed to be my evaluation."

"You did fine. You're a little rusty, but nothing that a couple of weeks in the Danger Room won't fix. And, even if you didn't get a lot of licks in, you did everything right on this deployment." He sighed. "Too bad we ran into a foe we didn't expect who knows us all."
