Logan listened quietly, then remained quiet for a long time, staring at the map and trying to wrap his brain around the new information. He didn't doubt it for a second, Xavier had a tendency to get these things right, he was just trying to process it all into something he'd understand.
Wolverine wasn't an idiot, regardless of what some claimed... he proved this by then saying something so intelligent that he pronounced it all very carefully, as if doubting that he of all people could get it right.
"So what yer sayin'... is that this thing... whatever the city is... lives on people? And when it was done with those who were already here it just... grabbed more from diff'rent places to snack on?"
It seemed to make sense. In his head at least. It was probably wrong, but... well, it would explain things.

"That is my theory put simply yes, but here's the odd thing" he typed a few things on his keyboard and a couple graphs showed up "the one on the right is the one I put together for the flux of people. You see the flux of people there? From what I can tell, it's the same people, just disappearing and coming back."
He sighed "I don't imagine it fully consumes people, I can't figure it out honestly, because as many people as I read, none have any recollection or even thoughts of people being taken or appearing out of no where."

"Well, I happen to be a bit of an expert on not rememberin' stuff, Chuck... so... could be that there's another Weapon X thing going? They've built fake realities before, I've been stuck in 'em."
And he'd been rescued from them... by people who were now in here as well.
Shit.
((This references a Wolverine storyline. Weapon X had been reassembled, with Sabretooth among the 'recruiters' and there was a Matrix-like fake reality going on while they tinkered with the subjects.))

((I remember, except sadly it came from an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men. I read up on it later, it was pretty spot on XD))
"No, I've looked in to it, Erik-" he stopped "-and I, along with the portal tech have made sure this isn't just some simulation. Our portals are real, this world is real, just parallel to ours."

Logan appeared to think this over for a while before reaching his conclusion.
"Well, shit."

"Agreed, it is shit" it wouldn't have been the first time Charles had cursed, but he'd finished another half a beer and was quite the lightweight these days.

"Charles, language!" Logan laughed and winked at the other man.
"Can't have both of us dragging the standards of this place down."

"If you knew me as a younger man sir, then you know that my standards for speech are only saved for the young and the elderly."

(THAT SIG! <3)
Logan actually snorted at that.
"Youth catching up with you again, then?"

((Thanks, it's getting passed around tumblr pretty quick too I'm very proud of it haha, makes me all ooey gooey.)) "If only" he smiled "if I only I never aged, like a certain clawed friend of mine" he gave a small sigh and turned off the projector. "There is still so much left to do Logan and I am running out of time."

"I'd gladly give ya some of it if I could, Chuck."
Not ageing wasn't exactly all it was cracked up to be...
"Though I can't say I'd mind a chance to grow old with someone," he added in one of those moments of honesty this night seemed to be drawing out of him.

Nodding solemnly he looked over at a picture of him and Erik, it had been right after the new Cerebro had been built. They'd celebrated with champagne and salmon.
"It's a chance, everyone should be able to get."

He laughed "You've got a wisdom Logan, a wisdom no other man could ever fathom."

"Best not... it'd give 'em one hell of a headache."
Logan sighed, remembering some of the 'results' from the times when the other man had tried to solve bits of that giant rubix cube that was Wolverine's memory.
