Hey Cuz
Seeing as how she was in Greenwich Village fairly frequently these days, which was really only a hop, skip, and jump away from Westchester County for someone who could, you know, teleport, Dawn wondered why she hadn't looked up her cousin before now.

Granted, David was almost ten years younger than her, but he was family all the same.  And Aunt Catherine was always great.  Besides, the Defenders were getting more and more exposure these days and now that her parents knew about what she'd been doing with her life lately (boy, that had been an uncomfortable, but eventually all right Thanksgiving), it was only a matter of time before the rest of her family found out.

So she'd phoned again and shown up at the Institute.

She rang the buzzer.

"Well I would too. I mean you do fight along side honest to goodness gods, Dawn," he says with a short chuckle. Her question though brings a serious look to his face.

"It started when I was fourteen. One day all of the sudden... my senses started going nuts. I couldn't go to school because everything was making me react really badly," David explains. Then he talks about how the Russians started looking into the Romanov family.

How his Mom saw Logan on TV and recognized him. Realized who he was and thought maybe he could help David.

"Dad pretty much insisted I start training. So I could defend myself. Mostly it's Misha and I. And all kinds of crazy stuff has happened. I even got to meet the new Alpha Flight. Not in the best manner though. Misha and I got abducted by Weapon X. They were going to use us as lab rats. Maybe even brainwash us."

He shakes his head. "The X-Man things just sort of fell into place. We helped the Shi'ar Prince with a problem. Have fought robots sent to attack us. And we've had to defend ourselves from all kinds of nutjobs who hate us for being different. To be honest I actually like it. I can help people. I'm a natural tracker.... Plus you know. There's a girl."

What. He is a teenage boy.

Dawn tried to keep her face impassive, and utterly failed at all the horrors David had endured. "Jesus, David, that's just... that's just awful. I don't know if I could still be up and walking after all that."

She smiles at the last part. "Oh yeah? Why am I not surprised?"

David somehow had been able to stay sane. It probably had something to do with working with his hands as much as he could. It had been pretty clear to Logan that was how David dealt with his feelings, he built and tinkered with things.

"Well I'm not going to let them win. If I didn't get up, that meant that they were right. And they're not, ya know? I figure I live to defy idiots like that. Plus I uh... Build things. To help deal."

He laughs and shakes his head. "Because I always had a weakness for girls? If I think it would help them, I'd do anything."

"Go with what works," Dawn agrees. "Beats the heck out of me babbling like a loon whenever I get worked out."

"You really do, don't you. So. Tell me about the lucky lady."

"You've always babbled when you were nervous," David recalls fondly.

"Well, her name is Rachel. She's... Cool. In a very non-conventional way. She's nice to everyone no matter where they come from or who they are. She likes planes and cars." He can't help but grin. "I was working on rebuilding a Mustang. She helped me with the wiring when I had trouble with it."

He smiles like a boy who is very smitten. "And she's brave. One of the bravest girls I've ever met. It's... Awesome. Ya know? To see just how honest she is and how willing she is to do the right thing."

Oh, the boy is definitely smitten, at least as far as she can tell.

"She sounds like a great girl," she agrees. "She your, ah, girlfriend then?"
