"So bub, are we gonna do this the easy way? Or the fun way?" Logan, no... Wolverine asked as he unsheathed his claws right under the bastard's chin, not in the mood for waiting for answers.
He didn't know how exactly Damian had managed to find a guy from Facility with just a casual walk in New York, what were actually the chances, but like hell he was gonna let this chance go.
Not when these bastards had used his DNA in order to make clones and then turn them into weapons!
Facility wanted his abilities? He was gonna give them a first hand experience!
"Step aside, and we will do it the easiest way." But before he could actually do that, a hand clamped on his shoulder and pulled him back.
Wolverine wanted to object, he wanted a piece of the bastard dammit, but even he could admit that a telepath properly taking the information out of the bastard's head would make things easier than plain old torture. Of course such a decision had nothing to do with the glare Ororo was sending his way, nope not at all.
"Now be a dear, and open up to me." Damian said with a demonic smirk, that was made possible through shapeshifting his mouth into something far larger, and put his hands on the Facility man's temples. Then the man started to scream.
Wolverine could see Ororo's frown grow deeper and a vindictive light appear in Laura's eyes. Both quite worrisome but before he could ponder any further on it, the screams stopped and Damian turned to them with a smile. Oozing off an aura of a true smug bastard.
"I got us a location." At least he was a competent one.

"Logan, can I talk to you for a second?" Ororo asked with a frown as she pulled the Canadian mutant towards herself, staying a little away from the rest of the group on their way to the Facility's facility. Pun unintended.
"What's the matter?" Logan asked, trying to appear as uncaring and free of worries as always but Ororo could see the slight tightening of his hands and shoulders clearly, a skill she had picked up from her years on the streets.
"Are we really sure about doing this?" She asked. "Going after the Facility without any back up and with two students by our side."
When she had first followed after Damian and Laura, she had done that cause she didn't think they would actually be able to find anything. Instead Damian had managed to catch a discount ninja slash hitman that worked for Facility and had taken information about the organization straight from his brain. Speaking of which, Damian's use of telepathy had made her get a newfound respect for telepaths like Professor who could go through mind without anyone detecting.
Mostly because the only other option was to accept that Damian had gotten the information out in a painful way just for the hell of it.
"Look, I'll try to be as nice as I can about this." Logan said with a groan as he pulled a cigar out of his breast pocket. "Do not think of Damian and Laura as anything like the other students." And lit it.
"I understand that Laura had a… difficult past and that Damian is a bit violent and… weird by the standards of our other students but…" She started to talk but was cut off by a snort from Logan.
"Yeah no. You had a difficult past, what with living alone as a child in Cairo and then the whole mumbo jumbo about you being worshipped as a goddess…" The mention of that brought a scowl on Ororo's face, she didn't exactly like the way Logan and Professor viewed her time as the deity of a small village. "…what Laura had was a shitshow with bunch of eggheaded morons and more than likely some corrupt rich people trying to create their own pet me. She is surprisingly well adjusted with a past like that but she is pretty much a cuter version of me with slightly less baggage and murder instincts."
"And what about Damian?" She asked with a frown, not liking the way the Canadian mutant had described Laura but also not willing to push it yet.
"That kid is just mental, plain and simple." He said with a laugh.
"There are some kids like that, those who are super prone to violence for the fun of it and willing to use power for whatever they want. Yet also smart enough to act like a part of the 'civilized' society with no problems. Damian is like that, except the amount of power he has is far above others like him and yet possesses just as impressive self control over his desires." He said with a frown.
"You didn't see him when he smacked down that clown whose horse they stole, I haven't seen someone get so much joy from a simple act like that in years." Logan said with a sigh before turning back to her.
"So long story short, you don't actually need to worry about this more than any other mission. You also should stop thinking of those two as students and more as back up for this moment, I don't really care what you think of them when we get back to the mansion; that's your business." He said with a laugh.
"I… don't think that I entirely agree with you, but I guess I'll accept it for now." Ororo relented with a sigh and then got a clap on her shoulder by the shorter mutant.
"That's pretty much all you need to do. Now let's go kick some ass. Or shock some ass in your case." He said with a laugh as he walked back towards the two they had been speaking of.
Ororo still was not sure about the whole situation, but not for the reasons she had talked with Logan. A part of her was afraid, afraid for Laura. Of what she might do once face to face with the people who hurt her in the past, and what her only friend would likely allow her do.
