Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge - OTA
Unlike Zero, John hadn't set out further rules as to the behaviour he hoped (and possibly expected) for from his assigned team. Not to mention he was pretty sure that Jack would keep things organised around camp, seeing as he was well known for his dislike of mutants and the methods he employed to ensure he got his point across

Out of everyone in camp, despite not always approving of his actions, John had always had a lot of respect for Logan. He was mostly level headed, though occasionally he could lose his temper which was probably the key reason why Wade wasn't allocated to his team. Not that John begruded the man for having actually quite a nice team it seemed.

Wade was however, looking for Logan and John. Or someone from the original team with a head on their shoulders that actually worked...which was, John or Logan. And how convenient they were both located in the same spot. But if one thing was to be noticed about the merc that was out of the average, was the side of his face, or possibly a large portion of the right side of his body was burned and/or scratched. He seemed to take no notice himself.
"Thought I smelled a tea party."

He stared at the injuries, taking a step closer to Wade and forgetting the fact that the loud mouthed ninja had snuck up on his as per usual.

"Fuck off, Wade," was all he said, barely glancing at the merc's injuries before he went inside, taking off his shirt and finding something nice and heavy to lift. The tingle of irritation running along his spine just smelling Wade reminded Logan how much he needed to work off his frustration.

Turning back to face John the mercenary straightened. "We've got a problem on our hands. I figured you two would be the best ones to inform, but clearly only one of you can let go of his dick long enough to listen without throwing a hussy."

John wasn't moaning, merely making a request.

Scratching at one of the burns on the side of his face Wade directed his attention to John. "Alyssa and I went out on a field trip and while we were in Kyoto visiting her old Master's house, the fuckin' mafia shows up and tried to blow us over the ocean and into China."

He got up off the bench press to stack some more weight on. "I hear Shanghai's lovely this time a'year."

Looking back at Wade, John pondered over the information for a moment. Unlike Logan he wasn't about to jump to conclusions, as despite Wade's track record he usually dealt with any 'issues' he had created without input from the others. Which is why it was so odd for the loud mouth ninja to be bringing this situation to their attention. "Why they come after you two? They anti-mutant or somethin'? An' for that matter is Alyssa alright?"

Again, Wade didn't care about anyone else, but if Team X went away, there went his current way of life. He wasn't about to let a good thing go. Rolling his eyes, he stuck his hands into his pockets. "I don't know, John, I've never come across them before. But they waited until we were desolate to attack us. Which makes me think they know where we came from..which means that they're watching this whole Team...and Alyssa is fine."
Reply
"You sure they weren't just after you?" Considering that this was Wade, Logan didn't feel the need to be subtle. Though there was another option too, of course. Screwing the weights in place, Logan shrugged his head. "Or her." Well, Alyssa's past wasn't exactly squeaky-clean either.

John had been pondering over if it was just a Wade situation for a moment but it seemed all too... coincidental. Though Logan was raising a fair point, John kept coming back to the fact that Wade tended to know his enemies and if he said he didn't know them? Well John was kinda inclined to believe him.
"You think they followed you back or what? You reckon they're watchin' us now?" John resisted the urge to scan the perimeter fence nearest them knowing the action would only draw attention to them.

If Wade had a confrontation with the Mafia, or anyone, he wouldn't lie about it. He would boast. And he certainly wouldn't be warning anyone else for that matter either. But the man was growing impatient.
"I think they already knew we were here. They had to follow us from somewhere to know that we were going to Kyoto, because it was spur of the moment. So that means they followed us from here. Someone on the inside is with them, or tipped them off."
Reply
"Say you're right..." And, as far as Logan was concerned, that was very hypothetical. "If they got someone on the inside, an' they wanna kill us all, why don't they just blow up this whole place?" Didn't seem like that was their goal, then, but if it wasn't... what was? Did they want to lure the whole team out? Were they looking to thin the ranks, hoping to take one or more mutants captive, to create their own mutant fight squad? Logan found himself thinking along in spite of himself, his exercise abandoned for now.
Reply
He was also thinking along the same lines as Logan trying to work out who in the team has the potential to be a mole as such. Half tempted to voice his query out loud John thought twice, that would only cause tension and accusations being flung about camp. Not good.
"Logan's got a point Wade... not that I'm discrediting your point just why ain't they done nothin' to us yet then if that is the case?"
Why the hell did Stryker have to go off camp now?
