Tanwen was eating some chicken strips when Logan entered the kitchen.
"Kari here is going to whip up something much better than those things" he said, "traditional Oriental food. Ever had it before?"
Tanwen replied, "can't say that I have. Most of what we ate at home was fried stuff, typical Scottish fare. Me dad loved it, but me mum told him it was bad for the skin, bad for the heart, bad for everything that kept you in the land of the livin.'"

Kari quickly walked down to the kitchen and in a flurry she was slicing frying and performing all manner of tasks at a mind boggling pace. Though most oddly was the use of her talons to chop vegetables. She sliced them to pieces in mere seconds but with a single talon, and every bit as fast as a professional chef, only she had a better "knife"

Tanwen watched Kari work, trying to keep track of her movements. He stopped to avoid getting motion-sickness. "You could make a name for yourself as a very efficient barber, Night Angel" he said, getting plates and utensils out.
"I wouldn't count on it kid" Logan replied, "last time she tried to cut my hair at super-speed, I ended up looking like I went ten rounds with a wood chipper."
He was not trying to diss Kari, he would never do such a thing, he was just joking around. His slashes and hair grew back within a couple of minutes.

Kari gave Logan a dirty look for a moment. "Yeah whatever, Xavier never complained about me maintaining the shrubs. So I figured hair might be easy as well... It's not the same." She continued in a flurry preparing each of the items as needed.

"Could be the real reason he stayed bald?" Logan replied, grinning, "he consciously kept it from growing so he wouldn't end up with a topiary 'do. Shrubs can't complain, but if they were sentient they would haul up their roots and flee."
Tanwen arched a brow. "You are a very brave man Logan" he said, "hell hath no fury like a clawed woman scorned. I'm stayin' on Night Angel's good side."

That last statement about Charles hair influenced the lightning fast release of an adamantium covered feather from Night angels hand tossed like a throwing knife. The feather grazed the slightest bit of Logan's sideburns before embedding itself in the wall behind them. Kari crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her fiancé was very daring indeed. "You might want to keep this in mind honey..." She said turning around to grab a carrot which she tossed above and behind her spinning around to slice it with her claws just before catching the very finely sliced pieces in a frying pan.

"I'll keep it in mind" Logan replied, patting his cheek to make sure his sideburn was still there.
Tanwen walked over to the embedded feather and pulled it out of the wall. He sat back down to examine it. "This would make a great knife for up-close combat" he said, "I could channel my energy and super-heat it." He turned to the feather over between his fingers, thinking.

"Possibly but be careful, as it is that feather is extremely sharp. Drop a sheet of steel from two feet on that feather and it'll go right through. Clean." Kari said facing the stove again. Within a few minutes she had a ramen style soup and oriental broth prepared, and pulled a large batch of spring rolls out of the oven and began to serve up the food.

Tanwen very carefully set it aside. "Is there any material to make a sheath out of, that it won't cut through?" he asked, though he was immediately sidetracked by the heavenly smell of lunch.
Once they had their food, Logan and Tanwen picked up their chopsticks and dug in.
"This is delicious" Tanwen said, "much appreciated Night Angel."

"No sadly there isn't any material that can be readily made into a sheath that would be effective, and certainly not easily obtainable." Kari picked up her chop sticks and dug into her plate. "You're welcome Tanwen."

"I'll put it away for now then" Tanwen replied, "if some way to safely carry the knife is found, I'll wield it." He resumed eating his lunch. After a while, he pushed back his plate and leaned back in his chair.
"Anything good on the news?" he asked, "now that I've got plenty of energy, I'm up for putting down some evil-doers."
Logan got the remote and switched on the big-screen TV mounted in the wall, changing the channel to the news.

"This just in Ms. Marvel is back and doing her heroic thing once again-"
"Wha-? Marie..." Kari said instantly becoming petrified as she watched the footage of Carol Danvers in the flesh bringing planes safely down to the ground and all manner of heroic deeds.

"I've heard of her" Tanwen said, "she's a real beauty, and a great heroine." Hearing Kari's exclamation, he added, "did you know her?"
Logan's attention was fixed on the TV.

"No I never met Carol Danvers. But if Ms. Marvel is free, then Rogue may not have any real powers. She could be defenseless. Logan we need to find her immediately I'll get Psylocke on Cerebro." Kari said standing up quickly and walking hastily to Cerebro.

"Logan, where should we look first?" Tanwen asked, "I'll get my suit and meet you in the garage."
Logan replied, "not sure yet. Psylocke can pinpoint Rogue's location and we'll head there immediately. Might be faster to take the X-jet if she's far away."
Tanwen nodded and hurried to his room.
