When Logan finally caught up to Paige, she was just coming out of the girls bathroom down by gym. She looked like she'd been running, which gave her a flush look of verility. Logan wasn't above taking a glance at her before she noticed him, after all, she was very attractive.
"Paige?" He asked, eyes back on her face before she'd even turned enough to notice he was checking her out. "Mind if we talk for a few minutes?"
Oh jeez. He had to find her NOW, didn't he?
She wiped sweat off her forehead with the back of her arm and gave him her best smile. "Yeah, no problem."
Was this about her brother? Or joining the X-Men. Her heart beat harder just thinking about being asked to train for possible membership. It was all she'd wanted since her brother told her about the X-Men when she was just a kid.
Logan nodded. She was fit, this was good. It was one thing for a mutant to have impressive powers, but to be an X-Man, there was an intense level of physical fitness that needed to be upheld. Spraying some kind of energy was neat and all, but if you couldn't run or dodge, it did you little help.
"How do you feel about the X-Men?" He asked simply, not being one to beat around the bush.
"The X-Men? Heck I've known about them since I was a kid. Not sure if you've heard of Cannonball, my brother Sam? He went to school here a few years back. Didn't become an X-Man but man.. I never knew why. I've always wanted to be one." She smiled. "Since before I knew I was a mutant, actually."
Logan couldn't help but smile at her southern accent, it suited her nicely. "Yeah, read his file too - there was an attachment of it on yours. Pretty neat to have siblings that are both mutants. You should call Sam up and see if he's interested in coming up and helping us out... I'm out recruiting today."
Thinking about it, that sort of brought him out of his point, so just as she was about to answer, he added: "Which is why I've come to see you, actually. Wanted to know if you were interested in training for the team?"
Paige beamed, her heart skipped a beat. Maybe Sam hadn't gotten to Logan after all!
"Are you kidding? That's the only reason I'm here!" She laughed, clapping once. "Just tell me where to sign Logan, I am all *over* it." She jumped a bit.
"Outstanding. OutSTANDING!" She laughed.
