X-Men: 52 to 1 Odds on the Rouge. [closed for Lillypen]

[NickisSora]

-Gambit was playing some Basket ball out on the court getting his work out in. Shirtless his toned lean body showed off nice in the shorts and sneakers he had on glicened with sweat. Remy looked around and smiled as the sun shown bright and hot and everything seem to be going good.-"Well now a suny day and the girls are no wear in sight."-he chuckled.-"Gambit need some time to relax fromt he girls other wise Gambit be going crazy."-Rouge and him had been flirting a lot lately but she also been going out with Bobby Drake. Gambit didn't like it because of Bobbies playing around but Gambit was happy for her. Sighing a bit he herd a squak in the distance as a bird came an dlanded on his shoulder.-"Well now.....Ol Swit what you doing here..."-Taking the note on it's leg he read it and bit his lip.-"I see...."-Gambit grabbed the small pencil attached and wrot eback he is on his way. Letting the bird go back with the note.-"Gambit recon it's time to make a trip to Louisiana."-Gambit made his way back in side with his tank top and shirt running to the room he dashed passed Rouge running up the stairs to his room.-"Have to get packing and leave tomorrow."-Gambit said. Packing clothes and multiple X-uniforms to give Variety and different climet.-

 

[Lillypen]

Heading down the stairs Rogue pressed against the wall as Gambit rushed by.
"My word that boy just don' nevah know when to watch where he's goin' "
Her and Remy had had their long history together, and ever since she'd gained control of her powers with Professor Xavier's help things had been touchy. Through all that they'd been through they had hurt and loved each other more than most couples. It didn't help that at the time she had still been warring with feelings she'd had for their one-time enemy Magneto, Erik. Since then she hadn't done much dating with anyone. Bobby had taken her out to the movies the other night, but they spent most of their time wishing the other was someone else, Bobby still getting over his own sordid fling with Mystique.

Deciding to give Remy a piece of her mind Rogue made her way back up the stairs and to the door of his room.
"Remy, why are you in such a hurry boy? You damn near ran over a girl on your way up them stairs. I got a half a mind to shove you around right now."
Noticing the frantic packing he was doing made her tilt her head.
"Whats wrong Remy, where ya runnin' off to?"

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy stopped a moment and sighed and smiled.-"Sorry Cher....just got heads up.....A Wierd cult showing up down in Lousiana and look at this picture they were carrying."-Showing the picture of Apocolypse Remy put it in his suit case being all packed for 3+ weeks in one case.-"I need to talk to Professor X Though telling him what is going on."-Rouge stopped him.-"What wrong Cher?"

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue sighed, touching Remy's shoulder.
"Xavier's in Genosha right now, I'll let Scott know we're headed to Louisiana okay. There is no way Ah'm letting you go off on some fool mission by yourself."
Turning around she heads to her room, gathering some clothes and uniforms for herself, slinging the bag over her shoulder before heading to find Cyclops and let him know whats going on.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy and Rouge approached Scott as he was writing down tactical notes.-"Hey Gambit and Rouge what's up.-"Scott I recived letter from my friends in Louisiana Apocolypses cult might be tryign to revive them. Me and Rouge are going to check out the clues. We Will keep you informed on what is to happen. If anythign major start up You will know about it."-Gambit and Rouge stood close by Scott nodded.-"OK then you two take care of it. Keep in touch We have plenty of X -men to handle what ever trouble comes our way you two go on."-They nod as they headed for the Twin plane. This one had a back hatch for avehicle a ATV side by side for them to drive around.-"Let us hope we get out selves in to no trouble Cher."-Remy set the plane to take off on Auto pilot. After take off, Gambit went to change in the back hopign rouge didn't watch, secretly he did. Gambit changed to his normal get up with brown trench coat.-"I hope this visit goes well."-he said to Rouge as he made sure he was well equiped.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue watched as Gambit put the plane into autopilot, then slipped in the back. She also noticed that he left the door open a crack, and knowing him it was definitely intentional. Well if the old dog thought she was going to take a peek she wasn't in a hurry to prove him right, but flipping the tables on him might just be the way to go.
"By going well I hope you mean we find what we need and get in and out of Louisiana without having to beat some people to hell sugah, then ah hope your right."
Deciding to take the 'alone time' to get dressed herself she slipped on her green cloak. Making sure she spent an appropriate amount of time just in sight of the cracked door to let him take a peek at what he just might be missing.

 

[NickisSora]

-Gambit turned to walk out and did not know she was dressing till he looked and smiled watching her dress.-"Looking good Cher Wish you told Gambit you were getting dress. I woudl of looked away."-he chuckled and hid his eyes till she was done and walked out to the controls.-"I am just hoping we find what we need and no trouble...like Brother hood or something."

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue grinned as Remy commented.
"Don't lie sugah, you would've covered your eyes, but you woulda been peepin' through them anyways you old coonhound."
Sitting back down she propped her legs up, leaning back in the seat to relax.
"Yea, the last thing we need is Mystique runnin around with another version of the Brotherhood tryin ta cause us trouble. Who sent you that picture anyways?"

 

[NickisSora]

"A Good friend of mine Jaque down in Baton Rouge. He supports me joining the X-men and when i showed him Apoclypse once i told him to keep a eye out for that and any other trouble."-Gambit leaned back a bit and just shuffled his cards.-"So cher how was the date?"

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue rolled her eyes at the question. "Please, the last thing I need to think about is a date that went horribly Remy, not that that bothers you. Ah'm sure your jumping for joy under your unsurprised face."

She stood up, shaking her hair out a bit before heading towards the door.

"Ah'm gonna relax in the back a moment where the seats recline a bit better. Shout if there's any trouble you need my help with sugah."

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy smiled a bit.-"Will do Cher."-Gambit sighed looking around and moved him self from the seat the radar and other pick up were on so it be a matter of kepign ears open. Remy laid back in one of the seats. He laid out on the bench that was by the walls of the plane. Looking out the window he relaxed just thinking of everything going on.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue relaxed in the chair. She wasn't necessarily tired, just didn't really feel like talking about dating with Remy. Seeing him decide to lay out on the bench she smiled. It was the quiet moments like this plane ride she enjoyed the most about her time with the X-Men. Between all the crises, world ending issues and fighting there was always the quiet moments where you could relax and be normal.

Normal was a rarity, especially being a mutant, but any time you could feel normal was a great time.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy looked to the ceiling in thought. Time passed quickly as they were arriving in there destination. Gambit took the controls and landed them safely in the Bayou not to far outside the City.-"Come on Cher we got to take that Lovely 4X4 Side by Side out."-Gambit Grabbed his bag and smiled as he dropped to the smaller lower deck and stepped in tot the vehical. Starting it up the Hatch open and would close once they left. Once Rouge stepped in Gambit took off a nice pace of 35 miles in to the city.-"Let's see what we can find around."-Remy's es scanned the area as they drove through.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue sat back in relative ease while Remy drove. She much preferred flying, but it would be a little too obvious if she did. Keeping her eyes open she didn't see too much out of the ordinary as they made their way to the city. Maybe they would run into something once they made it into the city itself.

"Ah reckon you wanted more to show an old southern gal a good time muddin' than anything else when you decided to take this thing instead of a couple of dirt bikes." she laughed slightly looking at him. He always held a good poker face, you could never truly know what he was thinking sometimes.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy smiled and shook his head lightly.-"Maybe another time cher no? Any way Gambit already spots somethign wrong not many people out in the french quarter out here."-he said noticing the streets were barely filled up stopping he asked a local.-"Excuse me sir what is going on around here." "Don't you know stranger weird things have been happening so most people stay in side or just roam the street to get some place else."-Gambit looked.-"Why?""For those dam cultest."-He said and Gambit looked to Rouge and nodded.-"Can you tell me where to Find Jaque Marin"-The man nods and pointed towards the outskirts.-"He is in his old shack why?""Just curious a old friend gonna see him."-Gambit took off as he looked straight on spotting a cult person but wanted to make sure Jaque was ok.-

 

[Lillypen]

As they made their way past someone pointed out to be a cultist, Rogue slipped her hand out, her fingers trailing along the cultists neck as they sped by. As the sheer moment of memory faded in and out from her touch Rogue closed her eyes.

"I didn't get much from that quick touch, but the hatred that man was holding was somethin fierce sugah."

Strong emotions always were the most overwhelming when it came to Rogue taking a bit of someones self, but sometimes they were the best clues. Unfortunately she didn't have the time to get much beyond a quick touch, just enough to give her a glimmer of the mans mind before it faded from her consciousness.

 

[NickisSora]

"Then they may be willing to do what ever it takes Cher....we gonna see if Jacques ok then we can go back in to town and look around."-Once to the old shack Gambit approached out of the car and he knocked.-"Hey open up Jacques it Remy."-Jacques a slim man in overalls and a tee shirt and boots answered.-"Come in Remy."-They both walked in ans when Jacques was about to not let Rouge in.-"Hold on Jacques she is with me."-Jacques bowed to her.-"lovely southern bell you have here."-Gambit chuckled at Rogues light blush.-"So i am glad your ok...what happen."-Jacques looked back.-"Those cultist are trouble nothing but it to. On top of that another group came in no to long ago don't know anything about them."-Remy nods.-"Then you stay here hear me."-He said as Jacques nodded.-

 

[Lillypen]

Entering the shack Rogue blushed at Jacques compliment. Standing to the side she listened closely.

"Two sets of strange people in the area... Remy, its starting to sound like we're going to have our hands full."

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy nods as he sighed a moment.-"Let us grab our selves a Motel cher unless we would be ok with you Jacque."-You should be after all no one really comes out here."-Remy looked to Rouge.-"It is your call Cher. We share a couch here or a Actual bed what do you prefer."-Remy chuckled just catching the unintended pun.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue smirked at Remys obviously intentional use of share in his question.

"No offense to your friend sugah, but that couch looks awful small for sharing, but you can always use the couch while Ah get me some beauty sleep in a bed to myself."

She smiled, laying on the southern charm a bit thick in the end. She had no intentions of letting him think he was good to be back in bed beside her regardless of the obvious tension between them.

"Thank you for the information Jacques, we'll get down to the bottom of the issue in town as soon as we can."

After blowing Jacques a kiss and giving him a wink she sashayed outside to the ATV. She knew Remy was comfortable with the area, which meant she also knew he left the keys in the ignition. Starting it up she started a mental count to see how fast he would be running out the door, laughing to herself quietly.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy Ran out the door and shook his head and chuckled.-"You gonna give a guy a heartattack cher."-he shook his head a bit as he said his good byes and drove off with Rouge. They found a small motel just on the outskirt of the city and parked there Car and went to get a room for a few nights. After paying they went to there room bags and all.-"You still think Gambit tryign to break in ot your pants or something?"-he chuckled as he grabbed soem more casual clothes so they would not be spotted as X-men hopefully. Remy changed in to a Red tank top and Denim Shorts with white soxs and high top shoes.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue leaned against the doorway as Gambit grabbed some casual clothes.

"Sugah, you been tryin' to get into mah pants since you laid eyes on me. Ain't a thing changed, you still chasin' me."

She grinned as she turned her back to the room, and crossed the hall to her own room.

"Just like the old dog you are, always chasin' and dreamin' of the catch."

She laughed as she went into her room and put her bags away. Remy may be one for changing clothes twenty times a day, but her green outfit was going to be just fine, she'd wear the cloak as a shawl over her shoulders, grabbing a pair of sunglasses to complete the look.

As she finished putting her things away she heard a knock on her door, smiling she walked to the door.

"That was some fast changin there sugah."

As she opened the door she found herself staring straight at a man in jeans and a t-shirt, holding a gun to her face. Another man standing out side Remy's room waiting for it to open.

"Scream and I shoot, now call your boyfriend out here and don't try nothing funny."

She narrowed her eyes at the man, thinking to herself that he had no idea what he'd gotten himself into.

"Remy dahlin', did I leave those two bags of makeup in there with you?"

 

[NickisSora]

-Darlin.....Remy an't never herd him be called darlin. Remy would use the code words they had while in the field.-"Two ugly bags?[bad guys] Do they have Handles or no Handles to the bags?[Guns or no guns]-Gambit charged a card ready to slip it under the door with a nice flick of the wrist.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue listened closely to what he said, knowing full well that he had caught on.

"Handles sugah', makes 'em easier to carry. They're probably right in front of your nose dahlin'"

Rogue tensed up slightly, ready to take the gun and sock the man in front of her in the face the moment Remy made a move. She also made sure she wasn't channeling her power, she had no intention of knocking these guys through a wall, not unless that ended up being the only way to take them down.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy charged just enough energy to cause a bit of a small concusion Explosion the card was slipped under and the man looked down before a word was said. The card went off pushign them both down the hall 5 feet making them drop there guns. Gambit ran out and jump kicked on guy tacklling and grabbing him holding him tight.-"Ok Buddy who are you?"
