Tramping past guards, security fences and an abundance of other mutants Teddy spent his first day lingering in the background, taking his old war skills and using them as a level of secrecy over his otherwise magnetic personality

To get to work in the Med Bay, Hope had to cross the camp. She enjoyed these little walks a great deal because it was probably the only time outdoors she'd get, except when she walked back to the barracks after her shift was up. She strolled instead of her normal brisk walk, though there was still a spring of purpose in her step.
Usually, she didn't encounter a dust storm. Of course there wasn't a "usual" around the camp so past the initial surprise at finding a bunch of dirt flying around she just sighed and raised her voice above the noise.
"If you wouldn't mind just pausing that for a bit, I'd appreciate it."
It takes the older man a few seconds to hear her, but once he does he quickly stops the increasingly dangerous dust storm and gives her an easy smile. "Sorry bout that, just working out a few kinks."
Show-off. It's the first thing Logan thinks as he spots the dust storm, assuming it to be a new addition to the team, though there's a couple of existing members who could probably pull off something like this.
"Hey, pal, d'you mind? My team's trainin' here in a coupl'a minutes."
Grumbling as he lets the steadily increasing dust storm stop and fall in a heap at his feet, Teddy brushes off his shoulders before he sees Logan, and stops for a moment to just stare. "Logan?!."
It takes Logan a lot longer to recognize the man, staring and subtly sniffing to better catch his scent - but then, it's been so long. Even when Logan finally connects the dots, it's difficult to believe what he's seeing. God, the guy's gotten old... Hard to imagine it's been that long.
"... Teddy? What the hell're you doin' here?" Not that Logan minds, he just doesn't understand. But then, this is the guy who just sent dirt flying. Teddy is a mutant?!
