Ciara looked on in awe for a moment before waving her hands frantically, "HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLOOOO!" She laughed and waved. "Hooooow's the weather up there?" She called before it headed on it's way.

"Wolfie did you see that? Did you see how it made all that noise and-" She turned and realized Logan was nowhere in site. "Wolfie?" She asked softly, her breathing starting to become shallow. " Where has thou gone? Sire? Sire?" She began to panic, rushing around the crowd that had gathered before crouching down into a ball singing softly to herself, her hands entangled in her hair.

Nightwing was suddenly at her side, kneeling down he picked her up gently and brought her into the building where Logan was.

Ciara continued to mumble nonsense as she rushed into Logan's arms, "By blackish night- The snow fell down down upon the heads of the lambs- Sire, thou has yet to walk among the common folk- Tick tock, Tick Tock goes the clock. Apple pie never flew so high- Jack be nibble Jack be- Death! I saw death in the eyes of man that day. So cold and fearsome were the eyes of the puppet."

Logan immediately pulled her into his arms, "Hey, it's okay, I'm here Drip, i'm here." he hushed her.

It took several mins to calm her down. "Don't do that." She mumbled softly, giving him a light punch to the chest.

"Why didn't the dragon come down and say hello?"

"According to Oracle it's landing off the east coast" Robin commented as he listened to his ear piece, "She's picking up some chatter... oh my god" his eyes widened at about the same time as Nightwing. Batman even, as he stood there, clenched his fists tight in anger.

"Lets go" the dark knight stated gruffly as he turned to leave.

"Wait, what is it?" Gordon questioned from nearby

"You can tell everyone the government's mind has finally been changed" Nightwing told him, "They're coming in to save Gotham."

"Well that's great!" Gordon smiled, then glanced over as Batman walked out the door and away. "... what's the bad news?"

Nightwing turned to follow Batman as he replied, "it's Lex Luthor who's doing it."

Ciara looked around as they spoke and tugged on Logan's shirt, "Can we go see the dragon land? I wanna see it land." She pledged, "Can we? Huh? Can we? Everyone else is going."

"errr" Logan scratched the back of his head uncertainly, "Not sure that's a good idea Drip. Lets just keep you safe up in here"

She pouted, "Awwwwwwwwww. But Logan! Can we just go have a peck? Pllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase? We don't have to go up to it." She begged, her big puppy dog eyes becoming wide.

Logan looked away, "Nope. that's not gonna work this time bub, I ain't looking."

Ciara raced around Logan trying to get him to look at him. Finally she stopped, a large pout on her face, "Oh k..." She said softly, "I just figured you would wanna see too..." She turned and slumped down on a near by bench, kicking a piece of rubble. Her eyes looking downward.

Logan sat on the bench, ruffling her hair, "I do. I wanna know what's going on as much as you do drip, but it ain't safe. They find out I'm here and Genosha could get in trouble, they see you like the way you are right now and the press'll have a field day. It's just better like this. But not worries" he added, "now we can get you home soon, you can see Beast again."

"M'k... She said softly, crawling into his lap, "But I am home. Home is with Wolfie.." She explained, snuggling into his shoulder.

Logan couldn't help but smile a little as he held her close and stroked her hair gently, "yeah drip... I know how ya feel..." he kissed the top of her head.

((annnddd, skip to Genosha?))

((Sure))

Gotham seemed to be back on track to recovery. Ciara on the other hand, was just at the beginning of hers. Getting Ciara IN a metal dome to return home let alone out was a workout in it's own.

"No!" She shook her head, she couldn't quite understand the fact that the metal dome had taken her to a different location and the fact that all her friends had gathered to welcome her home did not seem to be helping.

"Thous a demon, WITCH WITCH! Lies, Lies. Within the heart of man. How long do you think you can hold your breath- Pin cushion, stab stab STAB STAB." She yelled, finally pulling out of Logan's grip and into a ball at the base of the sphere.

"Back up-would you back the fuck away?!" Logan snapped at them, his claws coming out on one hand as he pointed them at the people, just to make his point. Finally they did as he told them and kept their distance. Sheathing his claws, Logan knelt next to Ciara again, "Hey drip, it's alright..."

Beast approached cautiously, "Logan... may I?"

Wolverine shot Beast a glare before finally nodding and letting the fuzzy blue man approach.

Ciara continued to ramble until she noticed something blue approaching. She looked up, tears flowing down her cheeks. She tensed up at the site of him, and much like a scared animal withdrew backward with each advancing step he took, till she hit the side of the dome. She whimpered, trembling but not specking a word.

Beast stopped a few paces away and crouched down to her level, nodding to Logan so that he would back away. Clearing his throat softly, Beast began to speak, "for sooth, thou must be the most beauteous maiden that hath claimed the shores of the land of Genosha. Would thoust accept such a humble gift from a man of blue? tis treasure most delicious, thou hast mine word!" he offered her a lollipop in her favorite flavor.

Ciara's went directly to the candy. It was bright red. She looked at him for a moment, to see if he would truly turn into a beast of sorts. Slowly she crawled forward and paused a moment before taking the candy, "Thou talkest funny." She said softly, looking to Logan before popping the lolly in her mouth.

It was like her taste buds exploded from the richness of the candy, the water from the near by water fountain shot straight up as well as the hair on the back of her neck. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" She cried, her eyes widen with delight, "Tis so sweet and heavenly!" She commented licking and sucking away at it. "Is...Is your fur soft or rough"

Beast smiled and held out his arm towards her, "Find out for yourself"

Eyes filled with curiosity, crawled forward and sat down in front of Beast. Taking her hand she ran her hand along his arm and instantly began to Oouuu at how soft it was. "Fuzzy!" She wrapped her arms around his, rubbing her face and arms against his fur for a moment, "...So why are you blue? Did you roll about in a field of blueberries? Or is blue the latest fad, Mr. Fuzzy Bear man?" She asked

Beast chuckled, "I'm a mutant, this is just how I naturally look and feel."

"Hey drip, why don't you go along with Hank?" Logan offered, "I'm sure he's got more of that candy"

She looked up at Logan, "You won't be very far away will you?" She asked, getting up and going over to him, wrapping her arms around him.

Logan hugged her back tightly, "You call loud enough and I'll be there." he promised, "I've got really good ears."

"M'k." She smiled happily before letting him go and shyly going back over to Hank. "If Wolfie says tis ok...Then it's ok with mine." She wrapped her arms around Hank's neck, "Up Blue D up! Take me to the land of sweets."
