IC: i walked out of my room, smoke pooring out from the edges as i closed the door, i desided i needed something to drink, i walked into the game room/bar, somebody had been there. I walked behind the bar counter, ahhh...there it was, just where i left it, my jack daniels, nobody but me seemed to like it, sept the cajun at times, i wondered when his damn vacation would be over, that reminds me...when is mine??? oh well...i walked back to my room with my jack daniels, and close the door, i grab another cigar, and start to smoke and drink, several of my favorite things...(i won't get into the song...) i desided to lay back and get some rest after i got smashed, i wondered what had happened to storm, i didn't know what was wrong with her...she was hurt worse than before when i bandaged her up...and why did the area around her cuts turn red...man this was getting confusing, and i didn't know what to do, to figure out what had happened, or to help storm....

[Renegade]

Gambit

OOC: Storm sure seems to get around. lol Ok so uh let's just pretend that everything I write him say is in a sexy accent.

IC: I hated it when anyone could sneak up on me without warning. Even if Nightray was much older and experienced then me, the fact that someone could sneak up on me so easily was still unsettling.

After some short chating, I ask him "So where is Scott at anyways? I need to check in with him since he's in charge right now."

Nightray slightly grins as he tells me, "You missed alot of action while you were gone. I think it would be best if you talk with either Storm about all that has happened. She's supposed to be in charge of everything for now."

Storm was in charge of the group now? What the hell could have happened in just two months? Taking my things in my hands, I walk with Nightray as he leads me over to meet up with Storm.

 

[nightray]

We git in to the med lab in time to see storm trying to git up I look at her whith a stern expreshin on my face and say lay back dun or I will lay you doun. She looks at me with a sulin expreshin on her face and ses sumthing obout checking on sumbudy I just look at her a look that cuvade a timelsnes that sholwd that I wos much older and not to be agued with so she lays back down with a solin look on her face a look that you normly see duters giv ther fothers when they don't git ther way. I tern to gambit and say ther she is.

I see beast werking on sumthing so I go over to tolk to hem. When I say hello he looks up and asks if he can hav a sapil of my blood I fron and ask why he ses I'v neever sen som one whith hilling pur that is as strong as yours. I srug and holde out my arm and say take as much as you whont.

 

[Reignfyre]

Armist and Beast

Beast returns with a couple of viles of blood. I look up and see him enter.

"Nightray's, old friend?"

"Of course...his healing factor even surpasses Logan's. It's, for lack of a better term, unbelievable."

"I can imagine."

"I'm going to look through this, my samples of Logan, and of Victor Creed's blood and see if there is something in there that can help you out. Something in this blood was resistant to even the first strain of the virus that infected mutants...and from the looks of things, that is the strain you have."

"But I thought only mutants got that..."

"Well, there are two things that I can think of...one Mephisto is powerful enough to infect anything he should want to...or two you are a mutant afterall, like I hypothesized so long ago."

"How can that be, Hank? I am an elf."

"Yes, but you are much different than any elves that not only have the X-Men and the rest of the teams I have been affiliated with have encountered, but you yourself have said that you were more powerful than any elf in your land. You are different. This is why some worshiped you as a god, Armist."

"This is too much, I am going to go walk around..."

"You will need to ride in an older hover chair of the Professor's that I've fitted with a bubble. No Legacy Virus gets out."

"It's not an airborne malady, Henry-"

"Just a precaution, Armist. I will take the risk myself, but I will not subject others to do so against their will."

"Understood, Dr. McCoy," I say with a slight smirk as I get into the chair. Beast helps me put the bubble over me.

"Be carful, Keebs."

"I will," I say as I exit the Med Lab, hovering around the mansion.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

storm

(nightray just don't forget that she had been claimed a god before she moved to the u.s. storm is highly respected, doesn't take too highly with orders, and she is just weak right now.)


when i heard the word gambit, i jumped up. pushing spidey gently so i could see my eyes widened in amazment. "gambit?" i saw his same sly smile.

 

[Renegade]

Gambit

Keeping that same smile on my face, I take a seat near the two of them to talk. I notice that Storm looks different now that I get a closer look of her. The change was not physicly, she was still as beautiful as ever. She has changed slightly in her eyes, like something happened that has given her a different look on certain things.

Once I was sitting down, I tried to talk with them "So what exactly is going on around here, mon ami(see I can do it lol)? Where is Scott and Jean?"

At the sound of those names, I notice Storm slightly flinching at a memory about the two of them. Things sure had changed since the last time I was here. Everything was alot darker in the mood that filled the air. After giving her a moment to compose herself, I decided that I needed to push the info out of them.

Sitting up, I ask them both "Will either of you tell me just what the hell has happened? Did the whole team fall apart while I was gone?"

Just then, I notice a new face coming into the room on a chair like Xaviers. His chair had some type of bubble around it that covered his body from exposure to us.

Things sure had changed around here...

 

[nightray]

OOC ok lova lets just say that she resepets me like a fother becous I'm so old and whith out evin relisting whot I wos doing I overwelm her in your wekend state whith my mentil abilits becous of my cunstern dos that make sens. And one more thing it's nightray berthday he's 100 today If It maters in any way if you hav any ubjetshins just say so.

ic After giving beast my blood I go back to the game room to finsh my game of pool. As I play I think of how time seems to fly I'm one hunderd years old today and I still look like i'm in my erly twontys. I shrog and tern to the tv I see a good move on so I go to the lether recliner and lay down to whoch the move.

[LAVA GODDESSS]

THE ACCENT......i could just org...nevermind...

(lol, just pretend you forget an a an or the a few times, sort of broken english in a way. whatever. the accent, how i picture it...supurb job renegade. lol. im going to take a cold shower.)


all it took was a knowing smile and the incredible feeling of having an old friend back made me smile. i stared in disbelief as i felt my heart leap for joy. gambit, after months, he went away...leaving little explanation, and the falling apart of the original x-men sort of followed that, along with the disappearance of jubilee and.....i didn't want to think about it. i got up out of the bed, against spiderman's attempts to push me back down. i think i startled him, because just as he was turning his head towards a sort of noise that sounded it bit like xavier's chair, i threw my arms around his neck and embraced him like old friends. "in all that i know, i know that i have missed you." he wore the same old duster, that pale carmel color, the fabric still held the scent that was so familiar. as my wound on my stomach came in contact with fabric, i sort of pulled my stomach away quickly. breaking our hug. embarassed by my lack of keeping my 'leadership' guard up. "yes," i hung my head a bit in shame of the way things are running, "things have changed. some for the worse."

 

[Reignfyre]

Armist

I enter Storm's room accidentally when I see two other people in there. The first was Spider-Man who was a given to be in this very room...the other was someone who I didn't know personally, but I was glad to see him nonetheless. All of the stories I have heard from various people...let's face it, Gambit reminds me of myself when I was a dashing young buck so long ago.

"Excuse the interruption, Miss Monroe and Spider-Man. You must be Remy Lebeau, Gambit, I have been looking foward to meeting you. I'd shake your hand, but as you can see, that just isn't possible at the moment."

 

[Dirk13]

Wolverine

OOC: yo rein, its in the med lab for starters, and ...monroe???.....im lost....on that....DoH!


IC: i finished off my jack daniels but i had drank it too slow, and i was just fine. Damn healing strain in my blood, i got up and desided to check on storm, i put out my cigar, and opened the door, i shut it quickly so that the smoke wouldn't fill the hall way. I walked down the hall, before i could, i smelled a fimliar scent....THE BAJU BOY WAS BACK! has it been 2 months already? damn....i walked in and saw storm swaying, the keebler reject in one of xaviers old hover chairs with a bubble on top, and spiderman sorta shocked that storm was standing. I got over to storm, she was about to fall, and i put my arm behind her, and helped her sit down on the bed. "be carfull there storm, don't want ya to get hurt anymore than what has happened" i looked over at gambit, "so finally, i got a drinken friend, its been awhile cajun" i shook hands with him, "and whats up with the keebler reject in the bubble chair?" i looked over at spydes...i couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he had a wave of some anger and fear in him...*BANG BANG* god damn symbiot. I walked over to it, i pulled a cover around it, i wonder...do these things sleep? I walked back over to storm and the rest and leaned up against the wall by storm's bed, and pulled out a cigarette, and lit it taking a few puffs from it, i offered one to the cajun.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

ororo MONROE

( i think...monroe is her last name, sounds right, and i gots me all these fellas for attention. NOT LIKE THAT! sheesh. alright ...on with the story...can't post till renegade does...)

 

[Renegade]

Gambit

OOC: According to the bio that Lava put up in the beginning of the thread, her full name is Ororo Munroe.

IC: Taking the cigarette that Logan offered me, I light it up as I meet the one called Armist. From the looks of things, he had been infected with something. Most likely the legacy virus. But was he a mutant like us? There was much to talk about and much to do to pull this team together.

"Ok people," I tell them as I adjust my position on the chair, "I want you guys to tell me everything that I've missed since I've been gone."

One by one, each of them explain everything that had happened to me. About the Vampires, the Cyclops and Jean thing, the Symbiot, Armist and Toron, and what happened to Storm. After taking a moment to let all of this register, I stand up to toss what's left of the cigarette away.

Turning back to the others, I ask them "So which problem do you guys think we should work on first?"

[nightray]

As I woch the the move I start feeling restles I stand up and start to pace. I wolk over to the pool tabil and look at it not rely feeling like playing so I lev the room and wolk to the danger room I look at the door and cerl my lip it isn't my stile so I go to my room agen pasing jay room on the way I snarl as I fel thing heting up in ther. Once I'm in my room I go to the woll that my sword and gun are haging frum I take the sword dun and teliport my self out side to a smoll clering in a grove of trees. I star practising with my sword moveing faster and faster not slowing or hesitating my move ments a bler.

As I practis I notis the sun begin to rise I smile My minde finly cler and focist. I tern with out worning and cut two buterflys in two with two floed stroks of the sword. Then agen whith out any woring I stop ded still not moving a mucil a slite shen of swet on my ber skin. Afeter standing ther for 15 minits I shith the sword and teliport back to my room I put it a way and strip naked and lay down finly tird and comiuf to sleep evin thow it is morning.

 

[poohlive]

Spiderman looked at Gambit. He had never really been introduced to the man, but he seemed all right. Not an immediate threat anyway. Storm seemed to like him, and that was enough for him.
Spiderman kept his eye on Wolverine. He knew something was up with that guy (lol, I love it when I get Dirk nervous). He could tell that man was up to something deep dark and sinister. Spiderman looked down at the simbiot, it was still in it's jar, but how could anyone tell if a part of it wasn't still in Wolverine.
Making Wolverine want to kill Storm.
(someone turned into detective Spiderman)
Spiderman knew that wasn't possible, the simbiot was one piece, it couldn't break in half, or pieces. Spiderman had been attached to that thing long enough to know that.
The group kept talking, but he decided to stay quiet.
Spiderman made sure his mask was on straight, and stretched, the night was getting late. If he could squint hard he thought he saw the beginning's of dawn.
Another day in New york, what a blast...

strom-ororo munroe

i opened my mouth to explain my part of the story, and nothing came out. i breathed, and started slowly. "scott and i, got close, jean walked in on us. she got angry. it was all my fault. she took out her aggression on me." i was the last one to speak. "armist is a good friend of beast's , quite a wise man, good at his job. i don't even know much about him, " i smiled at armist. "and as for that thing in the containment bubble, that is a symbiot. tried to kill logan and attacked spiderman. logan has just been his normal self. we have a few new members, i haven't looked much into them, we have nightray now. we are researching his blood, fascinating components to it. stronger healing factor than logan." logan scowled. i reached over, almost ruffling his hair, i resisted, and drew my hand back. no more, i was keeping to myself. no more intimate involvment, just do your job, i kept telling myself. "and......that leaves jayden, strong mutant, hit me with a tree. long story. that wraps it up, i haven't been doing a great job."

Wolverine

OOC: oh man...pooh...i should just kick you in the nuts!....

IC: as i explained what happened, jayden, storm goen crazy like, the keebler elf, anything else that nobody had said, i tried to explain on. I looked over at spydes, why was he staring at me. He ubruptly changed his veiw, and looked down at storm's rashes. i looked over at the window, the morning was coming, it had been a long night. Half of it i was still lost on, and i wasn't sure what was to come, i just shrugged to gambit when he asked what we should do next, i had no idea.

 

[Phoenix]

JayDen in " Look Who is Sleeping my bed"

Listening to Rogue's response, I could honestly say it was kinda refreshing Especially after the usual repsonses I got from Jeannie and her "don't worry being an X Man is like being a member of the family. No matter how much they all don't like you. They will grow on you." As I pondered Rogue's answer I almost did not realize that she was crawling into bed with me. Now I know this is supposed to be a family atmosphere but dammit between me and my uhh....Southern friend ( and I do not mean Rogue this time lol) this woman was not like my sister in NY at all no no this was definately not the family vibe here.

Uh oh I do not want to give her the impression that I am just some hornball trying to get into her pants (even though I am hehe). I better think baseball. OK Sammy Sosa, Mark Maguwire, the Yankees, the Mets, stealling bases, first base, second base..........waitaminute stop that brain you are making me horny. Waitaminute she is touching me. Damn she is gorgeous I almost can not resist myself. When she turned over on her side to face me. I slowly leaned in and kissed her tenatively at first then I intesified it a lil more. It felt amazing. After we slowly broke our kiss I looked Rogue in the eyes and almost whispered " What about your powers Rogue. Last I checked I should slipping into a coma." Lil did I know that the barcode on my neck was glowing which meant that I was absorbing her powers without her knowing. Not enough to make her weak or anything hell it was not even a quick drain like Wolverine who always whines and moans when I do it to him. No no this was almost like it was a link of sorts. While I did not know what was happening all I know is that I felt closer to Rogue than anyone else here ever right now.

OCC: GEEZZ hit one gorgeous female X-Man with a tree and they never let you live it down.

OCC #2: Waitaminute the whole Gambit coming home after a break up with Rogue and JayDen in bed reaks of the whole Jean and Scott. HMMMM I wonder how our spicy Cajun friend reacts. After all Storm was Jeans best friend and she hated her. Gambit and Jay hardly know each other even though they are from oppossing guilds, Gambit is thief and Jay is an assassain. HMMMMMM this should be fun. and poor Rogue is caught in the middle. EWWWWWWWWW manwich. lmao

[Renegade]

Gambit

IC: While I listened to what everyone was talking about, I noticed Spider-Man looking towards Logan for awhile there. He turned away when Logan noticed, but he was definatly watching him with much interest for awhile there. To tell you the truth, I noticed Logan acting somewhat different when he came in here earlier. It was nothing major, just something that someone who knew him well enough could notice if they watched at the right moment.

I suggest to the others, "Well I think we are going to need to get some rest for now. You've all been through alot in one night."

Walking away from the others and over to Logan, I asked him "Is there something going on between you and the spider guy, Logan? I noticed you two giving each other some looks earlier?"

OOC: I know this kinda sucked, but couldn't think of much to do with the situation he's in. We need some villians to attack here soon. But don't worry Phoenix, they won't attack your guy and Rogue... yet. lol

 

[nightray]

ooc ok i'll try to be a villin for now any way.

ic I sit up in bed my eye still shot as venom taks cuntrol of my body throw the link that I forgd detwin us so I would now wer he is at all times.

[LAVA GODDESSS]

holy shit batman...

(nightray, good post, nice way to ruffle feathers, just remember you can't knock everyone unconscious...)


i notice a blur come into the room. i feel someone knock me over, pinning me to the floor. i gently push them away, getting up i notice it is nightray, and.......i didn't believe it. what on earth was going on. i saw gambit's cards flash as he threw them in the direction of the two. a huge flash and smoke filled that half. i ran over to him. "Told you i haven't checked up on everyone. i have to get spidey some help, get him protected, " "TEMPERATURE DROP!" i screamed as i saw nightray's presence blur. the temperature change seemed to slow him a bit. my eyes flashing white i scowled at myself. stupidity.
"we have to get outside, or im of no help to you." i said as i clenched my side. i ran over to spiderman, slapping his face a few times, he came to. i heard him mutter 'mommy' or something. i laughed. "get up. let's go." i saw him stare at me in horror. i turned and there behind me was nightray. and his friend.
