WARNINGS: Just some spazzing on Mindy's side
SUMMARY: Where are all the comics?
FORMAT: Prose for now whatever you want later.

There were few things in the world that Mindy needed. She didn't care for dolls or toys (unless they had a blade), but she did care for comic books. Maybe not as much as Kick-Ass, but certainly enough that without Daddy, she needed something to do. So she had finally gotten herself to look around town for something that she could read.

It had never occurred to her that when you lived with the super heroes, that you weren't going to find the comics. So when she had gotten to the store, and couldn't find Batman of all comics. She kept looking, There was no X-men, or Superman, or Spider Man, or even Watchmen and Sandman. How was this store even open?

It wasn't a panic that set in, but she frowned. Comics were her entertainment when she wasn't killing people or making pipe bombs or training. And now even most of those were gone.

This place was starting to look a bit more like hell.

That was a weird question but she could answer it.

"Lots," she said, "Not as much as Batman but I know the basics of what's going on currently. Like Cyclops took over the X-men recently and they're trying to save a baby."

She hadn't been paying as much attention to the X-men comics as she should have, but between moving around all the time and all the other things Daddy and her took care of, she didn't have a lot of time to be reading comics.

Cyclops was Scott's codename, she remembered. "What about Logan? I mean Wolverine?"

Tony hadn't been able to tell her anything about what had happened with Logan back home, but maybe another source would have more information.

"Hm, Logan..." She put her hand to her chin and thought, "He's part of the new X-force that Cyclops created right now. And they're looking for Cable..."

She nodded, "That sounds about right. I think they were going to Alaska."

"Doesn't sound too bad." Maybe he'd been dreaming of grizzly bears. "He's a... friend of mine," she explained to the girl. "Was just a bit concerned about him."

She tilted her head, "He was here too, then? Did he go away?"

She wondered who else was here.

"He's still here. Just spent some time back home." She tilted her head a bit. "You a fan?"

"Sort of," she said, "Not as much as I like other comics, but Wolverine is cool."

It felt strange and yet kind of cool that she was talking to someone she'd grown up thinking was a comic book character her whole life. It didn't help that they were talking about other comic book characters. It was kind of surreal.

"Yeah, he is pretty cool," she said with a bit of a smile. Granted, she'd never really thought about it in those terms before, but it was true enough.
