Bedside Manner[Forge, Conduit, Wolverine]

Rayen looked back at her brother. "I'm not from there... though I was there." She sighed. "I'm his sister."

"His energy will be spent running around these machines instead of rebuilding his body. There's a price to pay when we come in contact with it... and I think I can help him." she nodded, and left it at that.

"Of course I don't want to hurt him. But what THIS hospital-" she jabbed a finger towards the hallway "-doesn't know about his mutation is a lot."

Logan looked between the two, then nodded in agreement with Conduit. “Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Hokey name, impressive school. It's a place for young mutants – but it's also the headquarters for the X-Men. We're mutants who beat other mutant ass when it goes scumbag.”

He grabbed his jacket, and slid it on. Considering still what method was best for getting the injured man out of here.

“Forge was part of our team, though it was only his third day. The school is probably better equipped to handle his special circumstances.”

Immediately Logan liked Bishop's no bullshit style, and respected another guy who thought trite social dance was to be damned. The fact that Bishop seemed to know about Forge's mutant abilities and didn't care raised a question though.

“You a mutant, Bishop?” Second time today he'd asked a similar question.

Bishop laughed, humourlessly. "What the world in general doesn't know about mutation is a lot," he said. "His sister, huh? I never knew he had a sister - and we shared some pretty in-depth conversations when we were serving together. Good to meet you. Got a name? You already know I'm Lucas Bishop. 'Course your brother probably mentions me ALL the time, we're like THAT." He crossed his forefinger and middle finger together.

He looked her up and down, then looked over at Logan.

"Yeah, I'm a mutant," he said, a tad defensively. "Or filthy mutie scum as my former commanding officer preferred to think of it." He surveyed the other man thoughtfully. "So you'll be causing the distraction and I'll carry old Hopalong there out, do you think?"

Seemed that he was already counting himself in on the plan.

"Rayen Tandaka," she said, and left it at that.

Looking between the two men, she smiled a little. Big mutant guys came in handy some times.

She cleared her throat, blushing.

Wolverine didn't inquire much further about the man, who seemed willing enough to help Forge out of here. Again, no bullshit.

He nodded, and added: “Name's Logan, I'm called Wolverine. I'll go into the hall... you'll know the distraction. You have a vehicle here? Institute's a couple hours away.”

He looked over at Conduit, picking up on the fact that she was very relieved they were so willing to help... at least, that's what he thought that look meant. It was difficult to read.
