Liz: Not zat bad. I vas only off by about a block.
(She looks back at Chaze.)
Liz: Come on. Ve have to get moving.

(Wolf looks at her with awe. He shakes his feeling away as he shakes his head to clear the dots. He can still feel the charge in his head, but he can get the fragments out some other time. He turns to Liz and follows her down the alley. As they get to the end of the street, Wolf looks at her.)
Wolf: Hey, you're something huh? I mean, you're great. And I'm glad that you're so happy about who you really are. But, for the record, you may wanna change now. Unless you want me to change and we can stroll to the airport scaring little kids.

(Liz looks down at her body and screams softly as she realizes that she never changed back. She teleports away for a moment and comes back looking like a normal human. She smiles shyly up at Chaze.)
Liz: I did not even realize zat I had not changed. Forgive me.

Wolf: It doesn't matter. I'd be proud to walk out there with you, scared, but proud. Anyway, let's go.
(Wolf and Liz walk the block towards the JFK airport and into it. People stare at the bareshirted man and the armored woman, but Liz and Chaze quickly disappear into a clothes store. Liz hands Chaze her swords and he hides them in a dressing room. As one of the clerks come up to Liz and asks her if she can help, Liz blushes. One of the security guards walks over to Chaze and escorts him out. Chaze can feel the guard's eyes on his scars, but ignores the feeling of awkwardness.)
Guard: No shirt, no service buddy.
Wolf: You got it. But hey, can you at least buy me a shirt so I can get back in there and buy some threads for my trip.
(Chaze smiles widely at Liz as the woman begins to measure her and escorts her to a dressing room. The guard returns with a button up white shirt.)
Wolf: Thank you
(Wolf walks back into the store and starts grabbing shirts and jeans.)

(Liz comes out of the dressing wearing a pair of loose jeans and a nice shirt with an "X" design on the front. In her arms are a couple of dresses and skirts, three more pairs of jeans, and several other shirts. She bites her lower lip as she looks for Chaze. She spots him and walks over to him.)
Liz: I have all I need from here. If you do too, then let us pay und get out of here.

(Wolf turns to her and smiles. He can't help but smile at her appearance. From kicking the a$$$ of soldiers to looking like a model, Wolf is constantly surprised by this woman.)
Wolf: Go on. I gotta get out of this damn camo.
(He walks into the dressing room, and changes. When he comes out, he's wearing baggy jeans and a blue muscle shirt. He has the Weapon X jacket on over the shirt and sneakers replace his combat boots. Under the rest of his clothes, he's carrying Liz's blades. He slips them to her and then pays for all of the clothes. As they leave the store, Wolf glances at Liz again, and smiles. He puts an arm around her as she slips her swords into one of her bags.)
Wolf: Well that was fun. I'll have to try to never to do that again.

(Liz laughs at both his comments. Her walking adjusts every now and then as she gets used to having shoes on.)
Liz: Danke for buying me ze clothes. Und do not vorry. I do not like to shop either, so I vill not be dragging you off to shop anyozer time soon. I hate having shoes on!

(Wolf and Liz walk into a Burger King and order. As they wait for their orders, they continue their conversation about origins and get to know each other a little better. The two sit down across from each other and eat. Liz looks at her burger suspiciously. Wolf can't help but laugh.)
Wolf: Don't worry. It won't bite.
(Liz takes a bite but afterwards, scarfs it down and goes back to get another. Wolf merely watches her as she leaves. In the back of his mind he can hear Sabertooth's words. "Love is for the weak Chaze. You're not weak are you?" At the time, Chaze had told Victor "No," but now, he wasn't so sure about that. As he watches Liz rock on her heels, waiting for another burger, he can't help but smile. Chaze waits for her when she gets back and they continue their conversation.)
Liz: Zis ist gute, but nozing compares to freash meat.
(Wolf looks at her....)
Liz: Vas! I used to go out und catch mein own meat vhen I vas younger. Vone must learn how to hunt vhem you live out in ze middle of nowhere
Wolf: Well, that's definitely something we have in common.
(The two get up and leave. They go and find the arrivals and departures screen. As Liz finds their flight, Wolf goes over to a clerk.)
Wolf: Excuse me ma'am. I don't suppose there was an earlier flight to Egypt.
Clerk: As a matter of fact, there was.
Wolf: Did you see a man come through here with a few friends. He had a scar running from his left ear to his nose?
Clerk: I'm sorry. I can't give out that kind of information. Sorry.
Wolf: Thanks.
(Wolf didn't need her to say "yes," her eyes told him that she had seen Radar. As Wolf walked back to where Liz was standing, he let out a deep snarl.)

(Liz looks back over as Chaze returns and she takes a step back from as he snarls again. She places a hand tentively on his shoulder, not knowing how he would react.)
Liz: Chaze? Vas ist wrong? Vas did ze voman tell you zat has made you so upset?

(Wolf shakes his head and smiles at Liz.)
Wolf: Radar's been here, and he's taken an earlier flight. So the race is on. But we still have the element of surprise, and we hold most of the cards.
(Wolf takes her hand from his shoulder and gently puts it at her side. He flashes her a quick smile.)
Wolf: You do know that wasn't me you were fighting? I was being controlled by Smith's serum. I don't want to hurt you. I'm sorry that I ever did. So, don't be afraid of me.
(Wolf smiles again.)
Wolf: I'll go buy the tickets. Wait here for a sec.

(Liz smile back at Chaze. She sits down and watches him go up to the counter. She remembers doing the same thing back in Germany only three years earlier. The people either coming up to her to poke her just to see if she was real or running away screaming in fear of the same reality. A single tear fell as she looked down at her body and hands. She looked up as she heard Chaze come back. She wipes her face and smiles up at him.)
Liz: Vell. Vhen do ve leave?

(Wolf spots her tear, as little as it was though. He wonders if he should confront her about it.)
Wolf: Uh......oh yeah, the flight. Um, yeah. We leave in an hour. We have to transfer flights in Madrid, but then it's nonstop to Egypt. We should arrive there at seven. Hey, you ok?
(Liz nods her head, but Wolf doesn't buy it. He steps forward slowly and carefully. He slides his arms around her and hugs her gently. He whispers carefully into her ear.)
Wolf: Hey, it's ok. You're doing fine, and no matter what happened, or what will happen, you'll be fine. You're strong and you've got a good head about you. You're doing ok. The rest of the world may not understand people like us, but I'd like to think I understand you. And you'll be fine.

(Liz smiles softly and pushes her nose into Chaze's cheek in a very animialistic manner.)
Liz: Danke. I know I vill be fine. I vas just remembering mein first time in any airport. People vould either come up und poke me or run screaming in fear. I am glad zat I gained zis power.

(Wolf smiles and is once more overcome with the sensation to kiss her. He pushes her away gently and gazes into her blazing blue eyes.)
Wolf: I hope you don't mind.
(Wolf barely leans down and lightly touches his lips to hers. As he pulls back, he smiles at her, and realizes he was holding his eyes closed.)
Wolf: Sorry. I guess I just let out the wolf in me. I apologize.

(Liz smile back at him and lightly touches her lips with her hand. She goes to repeat the nuzzling motion, but this time lets her lips her rest on his lips for a moments in a return kiss.)
Liz: Zere ist nozing to be ashamed of.
