"I'm 'in' to get somebody out. Call me Logan." His voice was as rough and deep as he looked, his eyes hard.
"Flicker, and if you're in here to break mutants out, then it's good to meet you." Flicker shifted around to sit propped against the bare metal wall near this new and curious inmate. "How exactly do you plan on doing that without your mutant powers?" he asked ascerbically. "You are wearing a collar."
"Hah. Doesn't matter. I'm strong enough and good enough for the weak little guards here without 'em. Not like this collar actually interferes with my powers," he said sneering. "Watch." He brought his left hand up, took his index finger in his other hand, and bent it 90 degrees to the side with a quick jerk and a sickening snap. Flicker flinched, but then watched, one eyebrow lifting and his eyes widening as the finger straightened itself and reknit bone right in front of him.
"Oh. I see." Well, that changes things. "So, tell me about this whole, getting mutants out of here thing you've got going on..."
This... looks very, very promising. This Logan is really on top of stuff. That, and he's started teaching me Tae Kwon Do. Looks like I might finally get out of here soon. Ooh, time for Demoralization! I'd been in solitary for so long I'd forgot they let us Outside! Hah, they think if they show us the graves of our brethren it'll weaken our resolve? Maybe that works for some people, but show me the bright, free sky and show me my slain friends and tell me you slew them and it's just gonna make me feel like fighting.
