giving him a reason

logan howlett x human!reader

fic masterlist

summary: you've been on the run from the yakuza and are taking refuge in an old, forgotten family home. logan's been protecting you this whole while because that's just who logan is.

content: i've lifted the setting straight from the wolverine (2013). reader is taking mariko's place--reader is mariko, mariko is reader (no names are taken tho). lovemaking ensues. this fic is super tender and gentle because bitches need to remember how tender and gentle logan really is (i'm bitches). this is porn with no plot lolol. f!reader.

warnings: extremely 18+ content. MDNI. i'll kill u if you do. tender love making, logan goes down on reader like a champ, piv, reader is a virgin but logan's vvvvvvvvv gentle and caring, there's hardly any talking but there is proper consent taking, logan just wants to take care of reader, all is good in the world (at least for now), and logan's lost his healing powers so several mentions of him having bullet wounds.

word count: 3k (oops? might've gotten a teeny tiny bit carried away)

a/n: back at it again, but publishing my first nsfw fic, praying y'all don't hate me. if you don't like this, istg the nsfw version of claw worship is NEVER seeing light of day.

you hear him groan behind the door and the sound makes your heart catch.

you and logan have been on your feet all day, save for the train ride to the small village in nagasaki you've finally reached. running from the yakuza had decidedly not been your plan for the day after your grandfather's funeral but what choice did you have in coming here really?

not to mention... logan saved your life yesterday. several times. he was shot seven times per what the doctor told you.

and he is not healing. your grandfather told you that kuzuri had exceptional healing powers. he'd told you this several times. but logan is not healing at all and it makes you tic. he'd told you that this was the doing of your grandfather's doctor. you cannot imagine the agony he must be in.

you've never done well with seeing or hearing people in pain. yukio always suspected you had some type of emotionally perceptive powers but you don't think so. you just have an inherent need to help and that's that.

carefully, hopefully noiselessly, you slide the door to the bedroom open and though he has his back to the door, his neck is already craning towards you. apparently whatever that doctor lady did to take his healing powers did not dull his hearing.

he's standing shirtless, feet shoulder width apart to keep his balance, skin glistening from a sheen of sweat.

"may i see?" you ask and he takes a long, deep breath.

you stand in silence, at first waiting for him to decide and then watching him turn around, bloodied black shirt in hand and an uneasy vulnerability in his eyes.

his stitches look mostly in place apart from the ones on the wound on his abdomen that have started to bleed. you pad over and reach a steady hand out to touch gingerly around the wound.

logan's jaw tightens but he lets you examine him, his breath warm on your face.

he's burning hot and it would be startling but he'd explained yesterday that it's normal for him. his fever had started when he was 9 and it never broke. so you ignore the unnatural temperature of his skin and step away to find him a cloth and some hot water to clean himself with.

when you return, however, he has clearly already showered and is trying to tie a dark kimono on. you have no idea where he found it and his efforts on keeping it in place force you to bite back a smile.

"let me." you offer, putting the contents of your hand aside to help him.

he immediately pulls his hands away in defeat and you find yourself barely an inch away from him yet again. his breath on you makes your toes curl this time. there's something different about his stance, something... more inviting.

"you need this tied like a proper samurai," you explain as you work on the obi.

there's a moment of silence, the pitter pattering of the rain comforting in the silence. he's thinking, you realise.

"your grandfather called me a ronin." his voice is low. tentative. "a samurai without a master. he said i was destined to live forever... with no reason to live."

that's probably the most you've heard him speak.

you swallow thickly. "was he right?"

"yes," he says, voice laced with such melancholy, it makes you ache.

he has taken seven bullets for you knowing he isn't healing. dodged perhaps a hundred more whilst protecting you.

you remember how he'd stood directly in an open doorway in front of a gun-wielding yakuza man to distract him so that you could run. you'll never forget the sound of those bullets hitting his metal skeleton. like nails on a chalkboard.

he'd put his life on the line for you over and over and over again.

aren't you reason enough then? haven't you become reason enough? after everything you've both been through? together?

you muster up all the courage you can and stuff it into one word. "still?"

your eyes dart up to his for a flash before coming back down to finish up. you pull your hands away but... but after the two dreadfully long days that you both have spent together... after seeing him fight to so furiously to keep you safe the way he did... after everything, you simply cannot bear the thought of stepping back.

neither can he apparently because one of his large, warm paws comes up and cups your cheek, ever so slowly pulling you into a kiss.

something about you has been haunting him since he first looked into your eyes three days ago at your family home in the suburbs of tokyo. especially after you, like a goddamned fool, tried to jump off the roof. he cannot pretend to understand why he's been so taken with you but he knows if he hadn't stopped you from jumping that day, another part of him would've died.

he supposes it's something about the saddest eyes on some of the most beautiful women ever that draw him to them. first kayla, then jean, and now... you. and that's only in the last half-century.

so he kisses you, warm and gentle and desperate to comfort. he kisses you like that until you mewl into his mouth, soft and needy. and then his own need shifts.

still careful to be gentle, his hands slip into your hair to hold the back of your neck to angle you better for himself. he's a tall man and leaning too far down is causing him pain he isn't very used to.

you feel so small in his hold, his hand wrapped around the entirety of the back of your neck, fingers resting under your ears, soothing your tingling skin.

pulling away a little, you run a thumb across his cheek. a small, very small smile spreads across his lips.

"hey." he says, voice low and soft, making you blush.

this should feel wrong. he's the kuzuri your grandfather told you bedtime stories about. the kuzuri whose bravery and determination gave you the strength to also face your nightmares as a little girl. you shouldn't be doing this.

but maybe that's why it feels right. you feel safe around him. truly and wholly safe; something not harada or even your own father has ever made you feel. you've known this kuzuri your whole life and you know he'll protect you.

you don't even bother thinking about how you're engaged to noburo. no, you've heard enough whispers about him sleeping with other women after your engagement to him. it doesn't faze you in the slightest.

so you kiss him again, wrapping your arms around him and pressing your lips to his smile. you feel one of his hands run down your back, coming to a stop right atop the bow of your obi, sending a shiver of thrill down your spine.

you've never felt this excitement before. you and harada had never gotten this far and noburo... well, something about his predator like advances made you want to throw up, so you never even let him this close.

but here you are, in the arms of kuzuri, a literal predator, and you feel... warm. nice.

he looks at you, brows dipping in an ask for consent. when you nod, sucking your lip between your teeth, he yanks the obi open and gently slips your kimono off one shoulder.

your soft, smooth skin makes him bite back a primal growl. he'd hate to scare you off, but standing here in front of him in the glow of the moonlight, you look so edible.

leaning in, making your tummy do a backflip, he presses a hot, open mouthed kiss to your shoulder. it makes you squeak and hold onto him tighter lest your knees betray you.

"logan!" you whisper with a gasp, feeling his teeth sink in and your feet leave the ground as he scoops you into his arms and takes you to the mattress in the middle of the room.

carefully, he kneels onto the floor and sets you down, his movement so light and tender it makes your heart ache.

pressing another kiss to your throat and then your mouth, he moves to place himself onto the mattress, between your legs.

you look at him with such big doe eyes, he cannot help but bring your hands together and press a soft kiss in the middle of your palms.

he then moves to undo your kimono like a wrapped present and take you in fully.

you're beautiful. the moonlight makes you shine, so perfectly womanly and delicate in his gaze.

reverently, he bends forward, right hand wrapping around your left thigh and pulling your legs apart so he can finally claim you with his mouth. his wounds ache for relief, the position actual torture but he barely even notices, so taken he is by your presence.

you push a lithe hand into his hair when you first feel his tongue, tugging as your hips arch up and you cry out his name.

"logan, god–"

he smiles into your mound, not having expected such a reaction this quick, but it only makes sense. you've both been so wound up after everything, you obviously need this.

"i know, princess," he coos as he licks a stripe across your leaking pussy all the way up to your clit.

he brings his lips around the little bundle of nerves and sucks experimentally and he's forced to hold your hips down when you moan out loud again. he was not expecting you to be loud in bed but he sees absolutely no reason to complain.

his tongue works on you expertly, undoing you with every lick and stroke and bite and suck. his fingers squeeze into your sides painfully hard, so badly wanting to mark you as his. he runs his hands down to your thighs and gently pulls them around his neck, sitting up to relieve the pain in his wounds, pulling you up with him.

"lo–"

"i've got you, you're okay," he reassures immediately, making your tummy flip again. he's so so so gentle and it kills you to have seen him as nothing but a brute until you reached the village.

his mouth continues to perform its delicious hot magic on your nerves as your eyes roll back in your head and you unconsciously reach up for one of your bared breasts. he freezes when he notices your movement, distracted like a cat having heard a mouse scampering across a field.

your eyes fly open to finding him watching your movements with a dark and hungry lust.

"don't stop," he urges and though his voice is strained, it isn't unkind. if anything, it almost sounds pleading.

how can you possibly deny him that? especially when he says it in that voice, looking at you with that expression.

so you continue, cupping a handful of your breast and squeezing gently, making yourself moan. he groans into your heat and buries his mouth back against your pussy, eyes never leaving your hands.

he continues his good work, watching you like a hawk as you knead your breasts, biting your lip. carefully, you circle your finger around one nipple as he sucks on your clit again.

you lose yourself to it, the rhythm of playing with yourself, the beautiful way it harmonises with his mouth, it's all so delicious. just like that, you feel yourself winding up, up, up...

"c'mon, princess," he encourages, "let go for me."

and you fall. fast and slow, all at once, right over the edge. you fall and fall and fall, and he continues to do the wicked thing with his tongue around your clit, lapping at your pussy and you give your everything to him.

he works you through it, moaning your name softly, his hands bruising your thighs until you slump in his hold. gently pulling your legs off his shoulders, he sets you down and crawls over you.

his hands come to rest on either side of your head and the warmth is so inviting, the scent of tobacco and his earthy musk filling your senses.

"can you give me another, angel?" he asks, kissing you right on the mouth so that you can taste yourself on his tongue; heaven, the mix of his need and your release tastes like heaven.

you shake your head no, too overstimulated but he's already working his way down to your breasts, leaving wet, hot kisses in his wake. and when he gets to one nipple and sucks it into his mouth with a soft groan, it sparks the fire right back up in your core.

"watching you play with yourself..." he murmurs, trailing off as he licks a flat stripe up the valley of your breasts before looking up at you.

the look in his eyes and his unrelenting mouth make you whine. "logan... need you."

that makes him smirk. how quickly he's worked you out.

"yeah? don't worry, babygirl," and he's spreading your legs apart again, "i'll take care of you."

he pulls the kimono off himself so quickly, you suspect it might have something to do with the claws that retract into his hand. you didn't even realise when he took them out.

he's... glorious. every muscle in his body is taut and stretched across his body like a work of art. his tan skin is dusted with hair so fine it makes your mouth water.

your eyes cross his pecs, his wounds, his bruises, lower and lower until... fuck. he's... big. big and so red, surely it must be painful.

he brings a hand up to your face and you think he's going to cover your mouth but he simply says, "lick."

you oblige shyly, savouring the salt of his skin. he pulls it away, spitting and then wrapping his surprisingly long and thick fingers around his cock. he runs it up and down the length, watching you with such intensity, it makes you blush as he positions himself in front of your opening and you bite your lip, looking up as he crowds you again.

you feel him push into you and within seconds, he's already stretching you open so wide it makes you grab the pillow behind your head in desperation.

he stills, gauging you. he knows this feeling. he's felt it in other women before; the squeezing of walls so tight there could only be one explanation. you're a virgin. shit, he needs to be careful.

rubbing your thighs with both hands, he gently and carefully pushes in just a little bit more.

"never done this before?" he asks, leaning down to press the softest kiss to your lips.

of course he's right. you have no idea how he knows but it makes you redden that he's caught onto your inexperience. are you making it that obvious? oh god, are you not making this good for him?!

immediately noticing your agitation, he pulls all the way out and kisses you again.

"easy... easy," he says, stroking your hair away from your face. "just gotta relax."

his voice is so even, so warm and soothing, that you cannot help but nod.

"good girl," he smiles encouragingly, once again positioning himself at your entrance.

he pushes in again and this time it's easier. you aren't quite so wound up and he slides in smoother because he's already made you adequately wet. still, he goes slowly, making sure it is good for you.

until you realise he's going too slow.

"lo–" you gasp, voice more a squeak than you'd like. "more– need more, please..."

around anyone else you'd feel pathetic. begging for something so filthy, so raw. but with logan, it's so comfortable. knowing he'll give you anything you ask for, even if you've known each other only half a week.

so he pushes himself completely into you, and he's so fucking big, so fucking much inside you as he whispers words of encouragement into your ears, kissing and biting at your neck. the ache of the stretching almost immediately gives way to a sharp pleasure that shoots through you straight from his tip and into every last nerve in your body.

it makes you wrap both hands around him, needing so desperately to be as close to him as possible.

you initiate the kiss this time as he starts moving in you. you slip your tongue into his mouth, sliding it against his, making him groan. the sound is so delicious, you roll your hips to cause it again. his hands grasp your waist, steading you, moaning your name around your tongue.

one of his hands comes up to grab the back of your neck again, taking charge of the kiss as he starts thrusting into you with more vigour.

you cannot imagine a better feeling than being right here. being held by him, being kissed by him, and being filled by him.

tentatively, you squeeze around him, realising you're reaching another orgasm quickly. he growls into your mouth at that, picking up further speed. it makes your hips buck and you're skin feel like it's on fire.

"logan, i'm... i'm..."

"me too, angel," he grunts.

and with one final thrust he presses all the way intp you, making you cry out as you come undone again. he snarls your name, a man possessed, the squeezing and fluttering of your walls pushing him over his own edge.

he fills you up, forehead coming down to rest against yours. he pants softly, never having felt tired like this before. but he realises... he doesnt mind it so much, not when he's tired because he got to make love to you.

you kiss him sweetly, breaking him out of his thoughts and he smiles at you.

"so beautiful," he murmurs, pulling out of you and lying down next to you.

he tugs you onto his chest and presses a kiss into your hair.

"logan?" you say, so spent your eyes are already drooping.

"hmm?"

"still?" you say and he realises you're repeating his question from earlier.

he hugs you tightly at that, wrapping his arms around you, warm and possessive.

"no. i don't think so."

Recordando Nagasaki e Hiroshima - Wall Street Journal / 23 de diciembre de 2011

Por YUKA HAYASHI

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204879004577108954246383844.html?mod=WSJ_World_LeftCarousel_3

KASHIWA, Japón: la lucha por comprender las consecuencias para la salud de la catástrofe nuclear de Fukushima Daiichi lleva un pasado inquietante en Japón Todavía se debate quién es víctima de las bombas atómicas que destruyeron Hiroshima y Nagasaki en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El miércoles, en la última de una serie de demandas de alto perfil, cuatro de cada cinco personas que estuvieron expuestas a la radiación de los atentados, pero no estuvieron presentes en las explosiones reales, obtuvieron el reconocimiento oficial como víctimas. Hasta hace poco, Japón sostenía que solo las personas que experimentaron las explosiones reales a corta distancia eran víctimas, porque la radiación secundaria representaba un peligro insignificante.

Este debate resuena hoy porque muchas víctimas potenciales del desastre de Fukushima habrán recibido solo radiación secundaria, por ejemplo, al comer alimentos contaminados o inhalar polvo.

Esa es una de las razones por las que Takashi Asahina, de 79 años, dice que recientemente llevó un megáfono a la estación de tren de Kashiwa, una ciudad en alerta máxima porque se han encontrado "puntos calientes" de radiación de Fukushima aquí, a 120 millas de distancia.

Mientras los viajeros pasaban apresuradamente en una lluvia de invierno, Asahina advirtió a las madres que pasaban que mantuvieran a los niños protegidos de la lluvia y aconsejó a cualquiera que escuchara que controlara su exposición a la radiación. "Los efectos de la radiación no aparecerán de inmediato", dijo. "No bajes la guardia."

Es una lección que Asahina dice que aprendió de su propia batalla judicial de años para ganar reconocimiento como víctima de Hiroshima. No estaba cerca del hipocentro, o zona cero, para la explosión en agosto de 1945, pero fue allí dos días después, colocándolo en una categoría conocida como "primeros participantes". Un sobreviviente de cáncer, fue reconocido como una víctima sólo en 2008.

"Creo que los casos judiciales servirán como un gran libro de texto para la gente en Fukushima", dijo Asahina en una entrevista. "Durante mucho tiempo, el gobierno rechazó la noción de exposición interna", dijo, refiriéndose a la ingestión de material radiactivo.

Hay algunos indicios emergentes de que el impacto del desastre de Fukushima en la salud pública puede no ser tan severo como algunos temían. Investigadores de la Universidad de Hirosaki, al norte de la ciudad de Fukushima, encuestaron a 5,000 residentes afectados en refugios en el área entre el 15 de marzo y el 20 de junio y encontraron solo 10 personas con niveles de exposición relativamente altos; no eran lo suficientemente altos como para necesitar descontaminación.

Aún así, hay poca ciencia sobre las consecuencias para la salud a largo plazo de la radiación de bajo nivel. De hecho, Fukushima brinda al mundo una de las pocas oportunidades para comenzar a llenar el vacío científico.

Durante años después de los atentados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Japón mantuvo vagos sus criterios para el estatus de víctima, sin decir nunca de una forma u otra si la exposición interna (u otras condiciones) calificaba. Pero antes de 2008, a prácticamente todos los "primeros en entrar" a las áreas bombardeadas se les negaron los beneficios, según un funcionario del Ministerio de Salud.

Vastos estudios de los hibakusha de Japón, "las personas expuestas a las bombas", proporcionan una base para la comprensión científica de los efectos humanos de la radiación. En la actualidad, estos estudios son la base de las normas mundiales de seguridad nuclear.

Pero los estudios de hibakusha se centraron en las personas expuestas más intensamente a las explosiones. Prestaron una atención mínima a las personas que se encontraban a pocos kilómetros de la explosión o que visitaron los hipocentros más tarde, y a las personas expuestas con el tiempo a alimentos contaminados, lluvia o nieve.

El accidente nuclear de 1986 en Chernobyl en Ucrania profundizó la comprensión de la exposición interna. Cuando el cáncer de tiroides surgió entre los niños allí, se rastreó hasta la leche de vaca contaminada que habían consumido. Aún así, los datos de Chernobyl cubren solo un cuarto de siglo, no hay tiempo suficiente para estudiar los efectos completos de la radiación, y la información no es lo suficientemente extensa o consistente, dicen expertos japoneses y estadounidenses.

Los críticos argumentan que la falta de investigación sobre la exposición interna o de bajo nivel significa que las políticas actuales pueden restar importancia a los riesgos para la salud, ya sea para los sobrevivientes de bombas o para las personas cercanas a las centrales eléctricas.

"El gobierno siempre ha subestimado el impacto de la exposición a la radiación", dice Shoji Sawada, un sobreviviente de Hiroshima y físico nuclear retirado que aboga por una mayor atención a los efectos de las bombas en la salud.

Hay grandes diferencias, por supuesto, entre las bombas y Fukushima. Las estimaciones varían, pero entre 150.000 y casi 250.000 personas murieron en las explosiones. Las personas en un radio de 2,5 kilómetros (1,5 millas) recibieron un promedio de 200 milisieverts de radiación, según la Radiation Effects Research Foundation en Hiroshima.

Por el contrario, la exposición de tres de las ciudades más afectadas de Fukushima fue inferior a 5 milisieverts para el 97% de la población, según la prefectura de Fukushima. Un portavoz del propietario de Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Co., dice que la compañía no tiene conocimiento de ningún residente local o trabajador de la planta que se haya enfermado por la exposición. El portavoz dice que Tepco cree que los funcionarios del gobierno han tomado las medidas adecuadas para proteger a los ciudadanos.

Sin embargo, la planta de energía emitió más radiación que cualquiera de las bombas porque contenía mucho más material radiactivo.

Tatsuhiko Kodama, médico y director del Centro de Radioisótopos de la Universidad de Tokio, ha criticado a Japón por no brindar a los niños de Fukushima suficiente protección contra la exposición interna. "Debemos elaborar una estrategia asumiendo que el desastre de Fukushima Daiichi, como Chernobyl, liberó una radiación equivalente a varias docenas de bombas nucleares y generó cantidades mucho mayores de lluvia", dijo en una sesión parlamentaria de julio.

El gobierno ha dicho que Fukushima liberó cesio-137 en una cantidad 168 veces mayor que la de la bomba de Hiroshima. Liberó aproximadamente la mitad de la cantidad de Chernobyl, dijeron los expertos. El cesio, con una vida media de 30 años, es probablemente la principal amenaza para la salud a largo plazo de Fukushima, aunque los vientos predominantes durante el accidente de marzo llevaron la mayor parte al mar.

Los funcionarios japoneses admiten que los pasos en falso pueden haber expuesto a las personas a la radiación. "Nos disculpamos profundamente por los residentes en las áreas cercanas que han sido expuestos", dijo Yukio Edano, un ministro que supervisa la industria nuclear, en una reunión del comité parlamentario el mes pasado. Dijo que el gobierno proporcionará chequeos médicos "continuamente a los residentes afectados".

El gobierno defiende sus estándares, lo que sugiere que las personas pueden haber reaccionado exageradamente al riesgo de exposición de bajo nivel. "Necesitamos ver cuál será exactamente el impacto en la vida diaria de las personas por una exposición adicional de uno o dos milisieverts", dice Goshi Hosono, ministro de estado a cargo del accidente de Fukushima. "Es posible que aún tengamos que pedirle a la gente que continúe con sus vidas después de tener en cuenta ese impacto".

Dos años después de que Estados Unidos bombardeara Hiroshima y Nagasaki, la ocupación estadounidense en 1947 inició estudios de supervivientes. Los estudios continúan hoy bajo la Radiation Effects Research Foundation, o RERF, financiada por los EE. UU. Y Japón.

Durante décadas, se rastreó a unos 120.000 supervivientes. La exposición se basó en la distancia de las personas a las explosiones, ajustada por si estaban protegidas por un edificio, por ejemplo.

La investigación no tuvo en cuenta los efectos de la lluvia radiactiva a lo largo del tiempo y "no abarcó el impacto de la exposición interna", en su mayor parte, dice Takanobu Teramoto, director permanente de RERF. "No teníamos datos sobre los comportamientos detallados de las personas que nos hubieran permitido estimar eso".

Durante décadas, la conclusión oficial de Japón del estudio fue que alrededor del 1% de los 400.000 hibakusha tenían problemas inducidos por la radiación, y el gobierno los compensó. Entre el 99% de los hibakusha considerados no afectados se encontraban decenas de miles que vivían a pocos kilómetros de los hipocentros, o aquellos que, como el Sr. Asahina, que portaba un megáfono, eran "los primeros en entrar".

Cuando los hibakusha que afirmaban tener una exposición de bajo nivel comenzaron a buscar una compensación en la década de 1960, se enfrentaron a una especie de Catch-22: se les dijo que no había evidencia concluyente para probar los efectos en la salud, porque la exposición de bajo nivel no se había estudiado. Muchos denunciaron dolencias similares a las de las personas que habían sido golpeadas directamente por la explosión: pérdida de cabello, sangrado y, años después, cáncer, cataratas y problemas cardíacos.

Llevaron a los tribunales y lanzaron un notable debate de décadas, en parte científico, en parte legal, sobre los riesgos de radiación de bajo nivel. Los casos ofrecen algunos de los registros más completos reunidos sobre una pregunta hoy en el corazón de la evaluación del peligro potencial de Fukushima.

El movimiento se fue construyendo lentamente. Pero en 2000, la Corte Suprema se puso del lado de una mujer de Nagasaki que relacionó su parálisis parcial con la exposición y la proximidad a la explosión, a unos 2,5 kilómetros de distancia. El tribunal también dictaminó que el gobierno debería considerar compensar a los hibakusha que recibieron radiación de bajo nivel a mayores distancias.

Ese fallo abrió las puertas. Desde 2006, alrededor de 300 hibakusha han ganado en 30 demandas colectivas en todo el país.

En muchos, los jueces dictaminaron que los "primeros participantes" también deberían obtener beneficios. En efecto, este fue el primer reconocimiento oficial de que la exposición interna podría causar problemas de salud, dado que estas personas no estuvieron expuestas a las explosiones, sino a las consecuencias posteriores.

En 2008, Japón flexibilizó sus criterios para los beneficios para sobrevivientes, otorgándolos a personas con ciertos problemas de salud que se encontraban a menos de 3,5 kilómetros de los epicentros, en comparación con 1 o 2 kilómetros anteriormente. Además, ahora se incluyen los "primeros en entrar" que se acercaron a hipocentros dentro de las 100 horas posteriores a los atentados.

Ahora, justo cuando los casos judiciales están llegando a su fin, el debate sobre Fukushima se está construyendo. El descubrimiento de radiación en los cultivos de arroz de otoño de Fukushima ha puesto a la gente en alerta. Se espera que el gobierno dé a conocer pronto un cronograma para el regreso de los residentes evacuados de la zona de 20 kilómetros alrededor de la planta nuclear.

Para tomar decisiones clave, Tokio se ha basado en las directrices de un organismo científico con sede en Canadá, la Comisión Internacional de Protección Radiológica, que utilizó los estudios de Hiroshima-Nagasaki como piedra angular.

Muchos expertos en radiación dicen que una población enfrentará un aumento mensurable de cáncer solo si se expone a dosis definidas como 100 milisieverts o más en un período corto. La comisión sugiere una política de limitar la exposición de las personas después de un accidente nuclear a la "parte inferior de la banda de 1-20 milisievert por año". A medida que se desarrolló el desastre de Fukushima, estas pautas dieron forma a la decisión de Tokio de evacuar áreas con una exposición anual estimada superior a 20 milisieverts, dijo el gobierno.

Las pautas de la ICRP no provienen de estudios de primera mano sobre la exposición a esos niveles, sino que se extrapolan de los niveles mucho más altos de exposición a las bombas. En Japón, 300 de cada 1000 muertes anuales son causadas por cáncer. Si la población se expone a 100 milisieverts de radiación, se estima que aumentaría a 305, según el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Radiológicas de Japón, en parte porque las víctimas tienden a desarrollar cáncer antes que el público en general.

Pero algunos expertos médicos sostienen que eso es solo conjeturas. Una teoría: la exposición prolongada a niveles bajos podría ser más peligrosa que una ráfaga única si una dosis alta y breve solo mata las células, mientras que la exposición interna podría dañarlas incluso a niveles bajos y, en última instancia, causar cáncer. Otros expertos dicen que es simplemente prudente tener más precaución con la exposición de bajo nivel, ya que existen pocos datos.

Las pautas de la ICRP reflejan el "consenso general de los expertos científicos", dice Michiaki Kai, profesor de la Universidad de Enfermería y Ciencias de la Salud de Oita y miembro del comit�� de la ICRP. "Es cierto que el riesgo es incierto para la radiación de muy bajo nivel. La cuestión es cómo responder a esa incertidumbre. Es una cuestión ética, no científica". ¿Debería la gente mantenerse alejada "hasta que los niveles de radiación vuelvan a cero?" él pide. "¿O les permitiremos volver a casa antes de eso para que puedan reanudar sus vidas?"

Dale Preston, investigador estadounidense de hibakusha en RERF durante más de dos décadas, dice que los estudios demostraron que la exposición a la radiación aumentó el riesgo de cáncer incluso en dosis bajas, pero en proporción al tamaño de la dosis. "

Varios expertos y defensores de la lucha por Hiroshima y Nagasaki se unen ahora al debate de Fukushima.

Shuntaro Hida, médico de un hospital de Hiroshima en el momento del atentado que ha tratado a más de 6.000 supervivientes, fue el testigo experto clave en una demanda colectiva en Osaka que concluyó en 2006. Allí describió en detalle los síntomas de " primeros participantes "y contó la historia de una mujer joven que entró en Hiroshima una semana después del atentado, en busca de su marido, que murió rápidamente de una hemorragia.

Ahora con 94 años, el Sr. Hida vuelve a ser el centro de atención. Dice que recibió llamadas de más de 50 lectores de su reciente libro sobre la exposición a la radiación interna, en su mayoría de madres ansiosas, después de Fukushima. Una mujer estaba desesperada porque se detectó cesio en su leche materna, dice. A otros les preocupaba que las hemorragias nasales o las aftas bucales de sus hijos estuvieran relacionadas con la radiación.

"Les digo, una vez que la radiación ingresa a su cuerpo, no se puede revertir y que no hay medicamentos", dice el Sr. Hida. "Les digo, ahora les toca a ellos tener una actitud positiva".

Asahina, el sobreviviente de Hiroshima, dice que trajo su megáfono a la estación de tren porque teme que la gente haga lo que él hizo cuando era joven y simplemente evite el tema de la exposición a la radiación. Cuando era un estudiante de secundaria de 13 años, se acercó al hipocentro dos días después de la explosión, dice, para buscar los cuerpos de sus compañeros de clase. Encontró solo botones y cinturones.

Pronto, el Sr. Asahina mostró síntomas de enfermedad aguda por radiación, incluida la caída del cabello y sangrado de encías. Pero una vez que pasó el momento, dice, trató de olvidar esos días, a pesar de años de problemas de salud, hasta que finalmente le golpeó el cáncer.

"Los japoneses tendemos a mirar para otro lado cuando sucede algo realmente terrible", dice Asahina. "Tenemos que aprender a afrontarlo".

Hana (X-Men Arc)

This is my first attempt at FanFic for X-Men #wolverinestyle #xmen 

Origin

Victor and James find Hana as a child in an abandoned village and discovers she is like them. She has spikes that extend from her elbows. As Hana matures to an adult, Victor finds ways to change her. She becomes an excellent assassin. James become the object of her affection, as they end up getting closer, which infuriates Victor. It fuels him to be more of a killer. After the stunt in Lagos, James leaves and tells Hana to come with him. She doesn’t go because Victor threatens her the night before with James’ life. James tells her that he would “see her on the other side”, his own way of telling her they’d find each other.

Stryker visits James, who has started a new life with his girlfriend, Kayla. He tells him that Victor went crazy and has killing their old crew. Victor is after Hana and need his help protecting her. James, obviously loving Hana, wants to protect her. The couple leave for Miami where Hana is supposedly hiding.

He finds Hana working at a bar on the beach. She is unsure of Kayla and feels like she might be a threat to James. She doesn’t want to go because she had known about Kayla before when she went to look for James after she left the team. James talks her into coming with them back to the Canadian Rockies, after the two get into a fist fight with 2 locals. At the cabin, things go fairly back to normal. Hana gives Kayla a chance. James goes back to work. Hana opens up to Kayla a little. Hana gets a whiff of Victor’s scent and leaves for the woods. After a bit of searching, Hana spots Victor and Kayla. Victor kills Kayla and goes after Hana.

James agrees to Stryker’s deal and is given the adamantium. He goes after Gambit and tracks down Victor. Through Fred he finds out that Stryker and Victor were always in it together. He gets to the facility where Stryker is holding the mutants hostage. He discovers that Stryker had given Hana the adamantium, but her body isn't adjusting as well as he’d hoped. Through pain, Hana begs Jim to kill her. Stryker wants to study the effects more. Kayla is alive and was part of a plan (to save her sister) to get James to become Wolverine and captures Hana who is now part of the Battle Angel project.

Victor and James battle Deadpool. James decapitates him. Victor escapes but take Hana in the process. Kayla manages to save the mutant kids, but is killed in the process. James tries to save her but is shot in the head by Stryker, which wipes his memory clean.

Ending:

X MEN

James, now Logan, is living on the outskirts of Canada. He and a young girl named Rogue are saved by Storm and Cyclops (Ororo and Scott). They are taken to Xavier’s School for gifted children. They are shown around by Xavier himself. He leads Logan to a room and tells him that is his. Jean Grey studies him, where he starts to fall for her even though she is Scott’s girlfriend.

Later the same night, the kids that reside at the mansion are excited to hear a familiar motorcycle sound approaching. Xavier exclaims that she has returned. He leads Logan to the main window where they watch a woman get off her motorcycle and gets greeted by the smaller children. When the girl sees Logan and calls him James, she wraps her arms around his neck. He gently pushes her off saying he has no idea who she is or who James is. Xavier telepathic tells her that Logan had an incident and that he could help him with her help. She reintroduces herself. Hana. She regards Xavier as her father.

Hana and Rogue become friends, as she can see that Logan has taken her in like a little sister. A lot like how they had started. Rogue tries to ask her questions about Logan, but Hana doesn’t really answer them. The next night, Logan accidentally walks in on Hana and the Professor talking. The Professor thinks that Hana should keep going on about keeping their past hidden until Logan is truly ready for it. Reluctantly, Hana agrees. Logan tell the Professor that Jean is waiting for him in the lower levels.

Logan walks with Hana back to her room. He notices that she keeps looking at him with sad eyes and asks if they really know each other. Hana lies and tell him maybe in another life. She put her hand on his arm and he can feel her emotions.

Rogue hears Logan having a nightmare and goes to him. He accidentally stabs her. She takes his power. She runs away because the other mutants are afraid of her, so she was told to believe. Then get kidnapped by Magneto to be used in his plan to turn the world into mutants. The Professor tries to track them but is put into a coma. Victor has a run-in with Logan again. Hana stops him from killing Logan. Logan goes to Rogue to save her. Victor fights Hana. He confesses he had always loved her. But he was an animal and if she didn’t kill him he would always be there and always be a killer. She cuts into his chest with her blades and he falls from the Statue of Liberty.

The Professor wakes up from his coma. Logan is greeted by Jean, whom he has a crush on. They are interrupted by Scott who is accompanied by Hana. Xavier tells Hana that it must have been hard to do what she had to do, but it will all be ok.

Later that week, Hana gives the Professor coordinates to where Logan would find some answers that might wake his past without harming him. She tells him that she is leaving for a while and that she would be back when she felt the time was right. She runs into Logan who is leaving as well to go to the place Hana had given the Professor. He asks hers to be honest and tell him if they shared a past, she smiles, walk to him and kisses him and says “I’ll see you on the other side”.

X2

Logan finds the location in which his experiments were done, but does not find any answers.  Logan comes home. He is greeted by Storm and Jean who are getting ready to go to collect Nightcrawler, who attacked the President. He finds Hana in the rec room with some of the kids. He heads to his room to drop his stuff off. The Professor and Scott go to Erik who are all taken by Stryker.

Logan has another nightmare and goes for a walk in the mansion looking for beer. He finds Bobby and Hana eating ice cream in the kitchen. Logan gets flirty with Hana and suggests they pick up where they left off. They are attacked by Stryker’s Team. Hana is shot by a serum saving Bobby. She feels sleepy but cannot use her blades. Most of the children are collected. Logan, Bobby, Rogue, John and Hana escape and go to Bobby’s house on their way to find Storm and Jean.

They are found by Storm and Jean. Hana accidentally walks in on Logan confessing to Jean. Jean tells him she loves Scott. Hana goes off on her own to clear her head. She knows Logan is not her old James, but she can’t help but feel heartbroken. Jean comes to her to see if she is ok. Hana makes her touch her mind and see what their life was before. Jean hugs her because she is experiencing her pain.

Logan fights his way in to save the professor and the children. Stryker does not given him the answers. As the dam breaks, Jean sacrifices herself to save the rest of the group.

X3: The Last Stand

Hana went away because she couldn’t use her blades. She goes to Japan to where experiments were done on her.

(Story stays the same.)

Compound 6: The Battle Angel

Hana is captured by a group called Supreme Hydra. They tell her that she belongs to them and that she was one of their first experiments. She tells them they are wrong because Stryker make her what she is by fusing her with the adamantium. They go on to explain to her that when she was a child, they had taken her from a small village in Malaysia. They wanted to make her their weapon, but it was stopped due to the attacked by the Americans.

The Wolverine

Haunted by the fact he had to kill Jean to save the world, Logan goes into hermit-mode and lives in the woods of the Yukon. Yukio has collect Logan and taken him to Ichiro, a friend he made in WWII. After Ichiro dies, his granddaughter is attacked. He and Mariko go on the run and escape to Nagasaki, where they spend the night together. Logan goes outside to breath the fresh air. He catches a familiar scent. He thinks he sees Hana and starts running after her.

Hana isn’t sure if she, herself is hallucinating, or if she is really seeing Logan again. But she isnt ready and takes off again. Logan catches her in the wooded area of the mountains. She fights him telling him to go away. Then she realizes he’s not healing. Touching his skin she can tell there’s something foreign in his body stopping. She hugs him tightly to which Logan says “I just don’t understand women”. He explains why he is there. Hana can feel his guilt for killing Jean and what it's done to him.

On their way back down the mountain, Logan sees Mariko being taken by Yakuza. Yukio comes to get Logan, seeing things happen. She is a little leery of Hana because she sees Hana in her mind with Logan’s heart in her hand. When they get back to the House of Ichiro, Logan puts himself on the machine to track what Hana feels like might be inside of him. Logan cuts himself open and has Hana reach into his heart to grab the “bug”. He survives and fights Mariko’s father. Logan defeats him. Logan goes after Viper and Mariko. Hana stays with a half dazed Yukio.

Yukio and Hana arrive as Mariko kills her grandfather, who was just draining Logan of his powers. Logan passes out and says good-bye to Jean. He whispers his always love her. Yukio is going with Logan back to America. At the airport, Logan notices that Hana is not there. He tell the private jet pilot to wait so he can go get her. Hana had turned around to disappear again. Logan calls out to her, she stops for a moment and continues. He tells her to come home with him. She tries to explain to him that she can’t because she still loves the old James and it’s hard to be around Logan knowing he doesn’t feel the same about her. He grabs both of her arms and throws them over his neck, kissing her deeply. “No more. No more ‘I’ll see you on the other side’.”

Logan

(FF after Oklahoma City incident. Charles goes into another seizure. Logan wants to go Alaska to hide and begin a trek toward Nevada.)

Hana had run away years ago. After the death of so many, she ran even further. For 30 years,she had thought Logan was dead and felt too guilty to go find him. A quick glimpse of Xavier, a little girl and Logan on tv almost makes her pass out. Xavier leads them to Hana, who was working as a volunteer doctor at a free clinic. Logan is wounded and needs to be taken care of. She takes them to her little home, and tells them to stay the night but to be gone by the morning. Charles excitedly tells her about Laura. Laura becomes clingy to Hana because she is also part of her. Hana lays next to Charles and holds his hand so she can feel his emotions. He feels hers and tell her to go to Logan.

Hana and Logan talk in the kitchen about what happened with him. She sits on the counter when he slips a ring on her hand and tells her that he'd been holding it since their return from Japan. She puts her arms around him and kisses him. But tells him to leave in the morning. They leave before Hana is awake.

Logan, Laura and Charles are attacked. Logan gets them to safety, but again is deeply wounded. They go back to Hana’s office. Hana is attacked and she fights alongside Logan. Noticing Logan is slowing down a lot she tells them to go North and to meet her at Neptune's Castle, a motel a few hours away. Logan waits for her outside. Once inside the dingy, Laura hugs her waist and doesn’t let go. Hana hugs Charles and kisses him. Logan hands her fresh clothes. He notices that the scratches on her face aren’t healing. (Two conjoined rooms.) While cleaning herself up, Hana’s more obvious wounds aren’t closing. She wraps herself in a towel and grabs her bag. Logan notices her from the other room and walks back to the second room. He sees the fresh blood on the floor. He tries to get into the bathroom but Hana tells him to mind his own business and go away. He breaks the door down. She sewing her palm. He holds her as she starts to sob, because she’s dying too. They make love.

Hana talks Logan into taking them to North Dakota. She tells him if there’s nothing there, there would be nothing to lose. And if that was the case, she wanted to go to Canada and live out the rest of her days with him, Laura and Charles. Logan agrees but stresses that they should lay low for a week since the Reavers were hot on their trail. Though Laura throws a fit, Charles calms her.

A month later, they start their journey again. Logan is getting much worse. Hana knows it won’t be much longer. Charles finds out Hana is pregnant and urges her to tell Logan, but Hana keeps it to herself. Charles has another episode, forcing the group to take a more secluded route. They end up helping a couple and their son after a near fatal crash with their horses. The family invites them back to their house for dinner and offer them a place to stay for the night. Charles tells Logan that Hana and Laura need rest. Hana helps Logan take Charles to the bedroom upstairs. She makes Laura comfortable next to Charles and kisses her goodnight. She makes sure that Laura can feel her emotions to tell her she is loved and that everything will be ok. Logan watches her from the door. She walks over to him and kisses him. Charles laughs and says that Laura loves to see them together and that they were a family. Logan grunts and goes away. Hana goes to Charles side and tell him she will come back for them. Before she leaves Charles tell her how proud of her he is. Before she leaves she tells him she loves him.

Logan helps the man with the water. Charles is killed by X24. X24 takes Laura. The family is killed by X24. Logan and X24 fight, and Logan is wounded badly. He takes off with Laura. He buries Charles in the woods, and passes out. Logan wakes up in a clinic. Laura had driven him there. He leaves the clinic with her. Laura speaks to him finally and tells him they need to find Hana, whom she calls mama. Logan gets mad at her for calling her that but it doesn’t stop her. Then she starts screaming to go to North Dakota repeating names of children who she escaped the facility with. Logan is tired and he has lost a lot of blood. As he is getting ready to leave, Hana shows up. She catches him as he falls out of the car. Hana motions to Laura to help her get Logan into the back of her truck.

Logan passes out in the back while, Hana drives them to the east. They stop at an abandoned barn for the night. Laura is asleep in the front, Hana climbs into the back with Logan who is in and out of sleep. Hana helps Logan find a little solace and lulls his mind to a peaceful sleep. She kisses his cheek and tells him to push just a little longer, and that there will be 4 of them soon. Logan half smiles and falls into a deep sleep. Hana leaves the barn so she won’t wake the others. She mourns the death of her father.

She is fooled by X24 who cuts the fetus from her and leaves her to bleed to death as a warning to Logan. Logan wakes up confused and sees Hana sitting up against the barnside with blankets around her. He gets up to greet her but notices the trail of blood to where she is sitting. He screams when he discovers she can not heal from this and she says her goodbyes. Laura holds her hand and Hana tells her that she couldn’t have wished for a better girl. Logan holds her as she starts to fade. She touches his face and shares all her favorite moments with him. He feels all of her emotions. It ends with her showing him a dream of raising kids and getting old together. She tells him to live long enough to save “their daughter” and that she’ll “see him on the other side”.

Nonostante le diversità, la loro comune passione per la musica porterà i percorsi di vita dei due ragazzi ad intrecciarsi.

Isshiki ha lanciato il manga nel 1998 sulla rivista Young Magazine Uppers. Dopo la sua chiusura nel 2004, la serializzazione è continuata su Morning fino alla conclusione della storia nel novembre del 2015. Un mese dopo Kodansha ne ha pubblicato l’ultimo volumetto, il 26°.

Nel 2007 lo studio Madhouse ha prodotto un film d’animazione basato sull’opera, distribuito in Italia da Kazé con il titolo “Piano Forest”.
