13:28:37/11/23/2009 | INITIAL REPORT

Arrived 11:35:00/11/23/2009. Taken from 23:12:00/25/04/2001, 138.1942° E 36.6485° N. Most likely scenario: time displacement and/or alternate universes. Network access confirms this. Previous mission failed as a result. Numerous targets left standing. Unsure of how to proceed. No known protocol for alternate universes.

Requesting information.

17:10:03/11/23/2009 | UPDATE

Completed mission. 3 (three) targets disposed of, and left [location of an abandoned warehouse]. Clean cuts, no evidence left at the scene, no witnesses. I.D. carried by 1 (one) of the targets.

Requesting assistance disposing of bodies. Size/number/location make it difficult to move them without being seen.

Requesting pick-up/transportation/clothing. No known rendezvous point.

Awaiting further orders.

Do you have a name?

#19994109?

[meowminx]

That's not a name.

You said you need clothing? What size?

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Who are you?

[meowminx]

Selina. Heard of Gotham City? I'm from there.

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

I have not. Country?

[meowminx]

United States. New Jersey. It doesn't exist in every reality.

You killed a teenage prostitute?

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

Understood. More issues with alternate universes.

Yes.

[meowminx]

I think we need to have a talk.

Where are you?

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

Talk here.

[meowminx]

I'm not talking to text.

[directions to a roof near the afore mentioned warehouse]

[action]

[meowminx]

[ And Selina is there shortly in full costume. She's prepared for anything... one of the last prostitute killers she fought was a Clayface, after all. ]

[action]

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

[X-23 isn't actually on the roof; she's some distance away, and spends a minute or two observing Selina. When she's certain that she isn't going to be able to ascertain anything else simply by looking, she leaps onto the roof, and stands a safe distance away from her]

[action]

[meowminx]

[ Okay, maybe she wasn't ready for that. ]

Laura?

[ Except this is the little Laura, the one she helped track down all those months ago. And Dr. Kinney hadn't called her Laura then. She'd called her... ]

...X-23?

[action]

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

[she's used to people from the Facility knowing her when she has no idea who they are, so it doesn't really surprise her when Selina refers to her as X-23. However, the part where she addresses her as Laura does confuse her a little]

[she nods]

From the Facility?

[action]

[meowminx]

I'm a friend of Dr. Kinney's. She told me a lot about you. But she isn't here anymore, and the Facility isn't here either.

[ She thinks back to the other times she "met" Laura for the first time. ]

Are you hungry?

[action]

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

Dr. Kinney is at the Facility. Not here. [shows something close to relief at the mention of her name, though, despite it quickly being clouded by suspicion] Doesn't matter.

[action]

[meowminx]

[ Time for another approach. ]

I have orders to look after you.

[ Considering Logan's letter, it's not that far from the truth. ]

[action]

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

[now that she understands. Her head feels a lot clearer, hearing those words, and she bows ever so slightly]

From Dr. Kinney?

[action]

[meowminx]

[ She'd always had the idea that Logan could smell lies. Better not to risk it with his clone -- she didn't really want to get in a fight with her. ]

No, though I did help Dr. Kinney find you when you were missing. There was... a version of you here before. From the future. Named Laura.

[ She pauses. ]

The "orders" were from Logan. Weapon X.

[action]

[noanaesthesia.livejournal.com]

[that's a lot of information to take in at once. Usually, X-23's used to being in life or death situations, in the midst of missions when she has to absorb that many new facts at once, but this—it's different. Alternate timelines. She understands that much. And Weapon X, well, she's never been able to gain any real distance from him. It should make sense to her. It should, but it's a lot to deal with]

I don't understand.
