[The only truly surprising thing about this situation is that it's only just happened. Cable keeps tabs on Wade, enough to know that he is so thoroughly annoying if it were a paying career they wouldn't be sharing a bed.
He also doesn't want Wade to be in the habit of texting him to bail him out of his own holes. Cable doesn't want anything to do with Wade's holes. Truly. But he also doesn't want to ignore a message of true importance.
What he has ascertained from the message is that Wade is cognisant but in physically critical condition. Cable is aware that this means something different for Wade than any other idiot, he's also seen what happens when he regenerates from scratch. He really, really hates it. If he can mitigate that, he'll be doing himself a favour.
He has also ascertained that there is an assailant at large. Wade never gives an answer when it might be useful or personally embarrassing, so there's suspicion in Cable's approach. He moves quietly, approaching from another level of the mall so he can scope before wandering into what could be a trap.
At his vantage point, he can see the scattered remains of Wade and.. Logan. With his claws out. And Wade is pleading, potentially. It's hard to parse, but he's done dawdling.
Cable drops behind Logan with a soft thud, swiftly kicking Logan's legs out from under him. Once he's grounded, Cable grapples him into lying on his front. He rests a heavy knee on his back, pinning Logan's wrists with his hands and staring at the back of his head. Then his claws. They're awfully clean. Fuck.]
If you had nothing to do with this, I'm gonna apologise and get off. [A beat.]
