He might sneeze pumpkin snot on you or something. Do you really wanna have to deal with that?

Dealt with worse.

You really think you oughta be crackin' wise to me the same week I had to suck spider venom outta my arm 'cause you thought it'd be a good goddamn idea to not tell anyone you were turnin' into fuckin' Shelob?

It's part of my annoying charm. Call it a coping mechanism.

But enough about me, Wolvie: what's your game, here, really? Just busting Normie's chops because you can, or...?

Gotta pass the time somehow. Asshole's been askin' for it ever since he turned up.

[pause]

Never thought I'd see you defendin' the Goblin, Parker.

Only when his name starts with the letter H, man. I'm more worried that Norman's probably up to something and this'll put him on guard before I can find out what.

You see him flyin' around the city in that shiny stars and stripes getup of his and you figure he's probably up to somethin'? [snort] You're gonna put Xavier outta business, kid.

Whatever it is, he's already on guard. Gettin' shot at will do that to a guy.

Just call me Professor S! _{Though the whole school for mutants bit may be a taaaad outta my league}

Aaaaactually, you'd be surprised. He's cocky when he thinks he's got everything going for him. All it should take is one little slip-up to set him off again.

It doesn't bother you a bit that somebody killed four people in broad daylight and then tried to kill this other person?

[voice; Japanese]

[heavymetalclaws.livejournal.com]

It does, little one. But what he's done back in my world bothers me more.

[voice; Japanese]

[amnotaweasel.livejournal.com]

So you don't care that something bad has happened to him because he's a bad person? I can understand that, there are people where I'm from I'd feel the same way about... But what about the people who got killed?

[osreborn]

I won't play into their game, Wolverine. I'm not afraid of any hired gun; if they want me, they'll have to try harder.

[heavymetalclaws.livejournal.com]

I figure they ain't trying hard enough.

[osreborn]

Obviously not. But they're welcome to try again if they think they can.
