X stood before the gates of 'Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters'. To the normal viewer, it would have been quite impressive, but X was X, and not interested.
She read the plaque. Hadn't Xavier died or something some time back? Details had been skimpy at the time, but she'd find out soon enough. Meanwhile, this place looked nice.
Quite frankly, X-23 was tired of looking around for a place to live. Ever since she had destroyed the lab that had used her as an assasin and human weapon, she had been wandering. And, truth be told, X was getting quite sick of sleeping on the dirty streets, where even less pleasant people roamed. Of course, if they had pestered her, they would have regretted it. Forests were nice to sleep in, but not exactly the most comfortable, with all the pine needles and poison ivy and such. So she had come to check out the Institute. Someone had told her it was a safe place for mutants, and she most certainly was a mutant. She unsheathed the two claws on her hand to be sure. Yup, they were still there, and glittering as brightly as ever. It had hurt having them coated in adamantium, but now, she could fully agree it was worth it. Sharp, sharp, sharp! Much better than bone.
Without unsheathing her claws, she cautiously opened the gate. She'd been through to much to go in trusting and unprepared. Never knew when someone would jump you. "Anyone there?" she called, tensed

Soft beads of sweat poured from Logan's forehead. It was unseasonably warm day, and he had spent it trimming the hedges, mowing the lawn, and doing every conceivable manual labor on the school grounds. Normally, a team of groundskeepers handled this. However, Xavier had fired them, claiming they were too "nosy." Wolverine wondered what caused Xavier to come to such a conclusion, but he assumed that it was all in his capable hands.
Suddenly, he heard someone at the gate. He put his tools down and made his way to the entrance. From a distance he saw it was a teenaged girl. It looked like she was holding some kind of weapon in her hands. He unsheathed his claws, ready for combat if necessary. He came nearer and was surprised to see that she had metallic claws similar to his. Was this another Lady Deathstrike?
"Who are you?"

Instinct kicked in. X unsheathed both her claws on her hands. If she was going to fight, she was going to come prepared. And her ace in the hole would be the claws on her feet. He wouldn't know about them, and she could kick, and he would be hurt. Her logic was quite infallible.
It was then she truly looked at him. Woah... he looked like a male version of her! With sideburns, no less! He even had claws, which were shiny and metallic like hers, though he had three. Who was this guy? Well, at the moment, kind of a threat, though she could heal up in a trice. Maybe he could do that too, so many people had healing factors these days.
Was it safe to tell him who she was? Probably. Unless you had an amazing grapevine, you'd never hear about X and her previous assasination jobs. She stiffened. "X-23. Who're you?"
She was getting a bit nervous, just a bit though. He looked kinda scary. "I'm Canadian. From Weapon X?" maybe he'd heard of it. Maybe it'd scare him off.

(in the movie it's called Team X, and no, he doesn't know about it anymore. the wolverine movie is only relevent to his history. since he can't remmy his past in movies 1-3, it won't matter as far as how you play him)

(( OK thanks!  )) She was only teenager, and he knew the danger of underestimating the abilities of young mutants. On the other hand, she could just be a scared kid looking for a place to stay. It wouldn't help if he frightened her enough to go to the Brotherhood. He decided to withdraw his claws, though he was still on his guard. "My name's Wolverine," he said. Perhaps she would recognize the name. "What's Weapon X?" |

"Just some place," she answered, adding mentally, 'Where they torture and kill.' Ah well. That was ancient history. They wouldn't come here if they valued their life. She looked back at the man who looked so scarily like her. She frowned. "It's not very nice to go around with adamantium claws out, y'know. I might have called you a threat, and then there would've been this big fight, and yada yada yada, blood and so on, but in the end, I probably would've won." She had no clue that he was probably more powerful than her, and could beat her in a moment. X-23 was confident.
"Who can live in this place?" she asked, switching her tone back to emotionless and a bit sullen. She gazed around and up at the Institute. It was nice.

(( No, I haven't. ))
He ignored her comment about winning the fight. Logan wasn't the type to be easily frightened.
"This is a school for mutants. We take anyone who wants a safe place to stay," he replied.
He had a feeling she was a runaway. He had no idea what Weapon X was. Maybe it was another group like the Brotherhood. He'd probably have to talk to Xavier about it. It sounded like it could be a threat.
"We take in Canadians, too," he added with a hint of sarcasm.

(not you, X-23. Don't want to sound mean or over-critical but...she's playing the character completely wrong. XD)

(I would like to apologize if I came off as rude in the previous post and replace it with a new one of more constructive criticism:
X-23 has a very dark personality. She rarely ever speaks, even to her employers or...customers. She's not a sarcastic, arrogant teen. I wouldn't even call her confident, rather...methodical and efficient. She's so serious and blank-faced most of the time that you'd almost think she's on drugs or something. While she does experience deep emotions, you can almost never tell. In addition, she seems to have a problem with depression, to the point that it keeps her healing factor from working. Whenever she kills and innocent, she scars herself on the left fore-arm with an X. If you'd like to read her comics just post your email and I'll let you have a look at some)
