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

[Lillypen]

Leaping after the explosion went off Rogue pinned the second man down on the floor, making sure both of the guns were well out of reach.

"Didn't your momma ever tell you that you should treat women kindly. Guess you need a lil bit more schoolin' on that matter."

Hearing Remy interrogate the other one she looked at the man pinned beneath her. Taking her cloak she wrapped it around his wrists real quickly before grinning.

"Shush sugah, let me see what got you boys all rowdy'd up to come see me."

Touching his cheek with the tips of her fingers she allowed herself to get a little bit of him inside her mind, sapping his strength in the process. Closing her eyes she let the memories flood into her, before letting go and looking over at Remy, getting the information he wanted out of the other attacker.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy watched her sap some of the mans energy and looked.-"What is the story cher....we need to get these thugs out of here."-he said.-"Just so we can keep looking."

 

[Lillypen]

"These ain't no Apocalypse worshipers sugah, they are redneck mutant haters though, and they got a lot of em in the area."

Rogue stood up, grabbing her cloak since she knew the man she sapped wasn't going to be moving too quickly too soon.

"Remy, our hands are going to be full with this bunch before too long, I didn't get any exact whereabouts from this one, he's too new to their crew. However they are organized, and they dangerously large."

Picking the man up off the floor deftly she put him over her shoulder.

"Lets get these two out of here, and see what we can do."

Looking down.

"And you might want to knock that one out, he's the one who pulled the gun on me in the first place."

Walking down the hall to the back entrance of the motel she slipped outside, setting the man down in the alleyway against a garbage can.

 

[NickisSora]

-Gambit rendered the other one unconcious and put him by his friend.-"so what do we do go back to the jet and use that for quarters?"-Gambit asked as he thought what they would have to do there is no way they be safe here.-"by the way cher that hurt before I have you know gambit knows when to be a good boy and change gambit always gonna be a dog but he knows when tricks get old

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue stood, looking at Remy as he spoke, then leaned in, giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Aw sugah, you know I was only teasin'. The jet may have to do, we'll just need to make sure we get some supplies to make it bearable for the time being."

Reaching into a pouch in her cloak she pulled out something, kneeling down next to the unconscious men.

"These tracking bugs on their watches should help us get a hold of where they are and if they decide to get to snoopin around us again. Lets go ahead and get ourselves back to the jet since in town isn't looking as good as hoped."

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy nods.-"Yeah....there is one thing that does bother me...how the hell they new we are mutants it isn't like we scream mutant you know."-he said and went back tot he room sto grab there gear as they each took a watch to examin.-"Gambit think Jacques will be good at using these to help us locate those punks."

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue held up the tracking device.

"Sugah, we won't really need Jacques if you put the watches back on them, thats why I slipped the tracking devices on them, so they would be easy to track. You old thief, if I'd seen you slip the watches off I woulda told you to put 'em right back already, now get before they wake up."

She laughed as Remy went to slip the watches back on the attackers. The boy was smart but every so often a newer piece of technology flew past his head. Either way he was right, how they knew they were mutants was beyond them, she hadn't gleaned any information about who they had gotten their info from, just a memory of a phone call telling them where to go and who they were.

The only bad thing about all that was that Rogue was coming up short on a list of people who knew where they were, beyond her Remy and his friend that is. She sincerely hoped she wouldn't have to tell Remy that his friend had betrayed them. She hoped someone else in the area was a telepath, and not one that wanted their interference with any plans they had either.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy fixed the watches back on and walked to there rooms to grab there clothes as they let the man keep the money for the next couple which was not long. Walking to there ATV they booked it to the jet hidden away in the outskirts getting there they settled in and Gambit sighed.-"Either way right now we sleep here if we cook here Gambit think we get pre made what ever....either way i think we will be ok just being out and about. But sleeping we stay here."

-Remy smiled as he walked off the jet.-"Let's get back to town."-Taking the ATV and there clothes safely back on the jet. They traversed the town and spotted one of the Cult members-"Let's park and search the town together what do you say cher?"

 

[Lillypen]

"Sure thing sugah, I could use a bite to eat, and we can blend in to see what we can do with getting this cult business tracked down."

Stepping into the crowd she mingled in, looking at the trinkets sold here and there, while making sure of course to keep her belongings close to her and in check. She knew Remy wasn't the only thief in the area, and regardless of what she wore she wasn't a local so she wouldn't blend in too well with them, but the tourists she could blend in with were always targets.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy agreed to meet her at the Gumbo pot in one hour and to keep in touch and keep her self safe. Remy slipped through the streets and had found several symbols for Appocoplypse.-"Gambit don't like the look's of these that make 5 so far. Ain't nothing but trouble brewing.-"Freeze Mutant....Hands in the air."-Gambit raise his hands in the air.-"Don't shoot Remy will go quietly....."-The man put Gambit's hands behind his back. The minute he did that Gambit grabbed the man's gun putting some Kinetic energy in to it.-"The hell..."-The man let go of Gambit's hands and dropped the gun. Rolling backwards Gambit watched the gun explode. Good thing he was in a back ally. Gambit took out the staff and extended it.-"Gambit don't know how you knew he was a mutant but Gambit gonna make sure you don't take Gambit because he a mutant."

-The rough man ran to Gambit and Gambit subdued him bringign him to the ground.-"Tell ya what.....Give me soem info and Gambit let you go......Where is the Cult......"-The man struggled but Gambit held tight.-"They practice underground that is all I know."-Gambit nods.-"How do you know I am a Mutant..."-The man seem reluctant to talk and Gambit knocked him out for now.-"Dam Gambit hate smashing heads."-Puting the man in a dumpster. He continued on his way. He paiged Rouge when he was in a Different Ally.-"Come in Cher."

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue had heard some commotion and an explosion one street over so it didn't surprise her when she heard Remy coming over their comms link. Making her way to a shaded area so she wouldn't be noticed she made her reply, keeping her eyes open to the street.

"Hey sugah, was that you in a scuffle over there?"

She was watching the street, making sure noone noticed her when she saw someone looking around, trying to find someone. Pressing back into the shadows she listened as the man came over, shouting at the vendor she had just been to.

"Where did the girl in the green cloak go!"

"Dunno, didn't see."

"Dammit! She was a mutant you idiot!"

"So? Not my problem."

The man asking about her walked off, obviously frustrated, and still searching. The vendor rolled his eyes a moment, then looked over towards Rogue, surprising her with a wink and a smile. Well Ah'll be..

 

[NickisSora]

"Yeah that be me alright turns out the cult practices under ground that is all I got though how bout you cher you safe?"-He asked as he looked around him and moved through the Allyways."

 

[Lillypen]

"Safe, but someone was trying to track me. Your call helped me give him the slip, I didn't even realize he was tailing me til he got frustrated with someone because he lost me. Something don't add up, we're being tracked when nobody should know we're here, let alone that we're mutants. If we don't have a mutant tracker or telepath in the area sugah then I'm havin' to worry bout your friend Jacques, and he don't seem the type to worry bout. Let's stick to the plan if we can tho, and meet up soon."

Rogue watched carefully before stepping out of the shadows, making her way to the vendor who had helped give her the slip.

"Thanks for the help there sugah."

"No problem miss, we's all gotta watch out for eachotta roun hear. Whatta pretti miss like you doin' in these pahts if you don' mind my askin?"

"Seein the sights, and checkin out the local wildlife. Been hearin the wildlife has been mighty fishy as of late." She winked and smiled softly, picking up a few nicknacks at his booth to not be overtly chatting.

"Yassum miss, we's gota all kinds of activity roun here lately. Iffin you askin me tho, I'd stay wary of both sides of the wild scene roun here, they may smell like fish, but dems lions and bears in disguise I gairontee."

"Hows a lady supposed to stay safe on vacation in these parts with these critters runnin' around?"

The vendor smiled, laughing slightly.
"Miss you don seem the type be needin help in bein safe, but de Uptown be de safest place for tourists of any sort, don neitha side be messin wit de money in dis town."

Smiling Rogue picked up a glass dog with red crystal eyes, handing him double the money for it with a wink. "Thanks sugah, your a lifesaver."

The vendor laughed and nodded as she left, flipping out her cell phone and giving Remy a call to let him know that the Uptown area was the place to go.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy nods.-"Then we get a motel there then and check it out down here later I will go and put in two room s one for me and one for you."-Remy headed back to the jest to get everythign ready taking the ATV.-"I will contact you when i get back down here to The Gumbo Cafe to meet me for food ok."-Gambit got to the Jet as he closed the door grabbed there stuff and began riding to town towards the uptown section. Gambit found a nice little place a motel and the rooms were a bit more expensive getting cleared by the professor he walked in waiting ot be helped.-

 

[Lillypen]

Walking through the street and eyeing the shops she would occasionally slip into one to check things out and to make sure she wasn't being tailed. After a bit of shopping she changed into a new outfit, to help her blend in even more. As she stepped out of the shop she noticed a few people clad in the strange garb that was supposed to be part of the Apocalypse cult. Deciding it was time to work on doing some tailing of her own she casually walked along a ways back, ducking in shops every so often to make sure she wasn't too noticeable.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy didn't hear back from rouge witch ment they be sleepign in seperate rooms. Once he paid for the rooms and put there bags in them. Remy headed back to the streets. wiping his fore head Gambit texted rouge just incase she was talking to some one.-"I am back in lower town meet me at Gumbo Cafe."-Remy drove down and got to the Cafe reserving a table for two for them both Remy began looking over the menu figuring it would not be long now.-

 

[Lillypen]

After a bit of tracking Rogue saw the members heading into an older building. Deciding it was best to not go in alone, she turned around, heading back into town. It wasn't long after she got the message from Remy about being back in town, and soon after that she was sitting across from him at the table.

"So charmer, whats a girl got to look forward to at this restaurant. I can't imagine you picked it out without knowing how good the food was."

She smiled, sipping on a glass of sweet tea.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy smiled as he did the same.-"Be prepared for Gumbo or Crawdad because they make the best here. I am getting the 5 Cajun spice Gubo Seafood style." -Remy smiled as he folded the menu and looked to rouge lightly playing with her feet under the table and smiled.-

 

[Lillypen]

Rogue smirked as she felt him playing with her feet, deciding she would order the same as she leaned over the table.

"I managed to follow some of the clan people back to some building, whats say tonight we have a night on the town and see whats going on inside."

Leaning back she did a little playing of her own, deciding to return his favor with a lil calf rubbing with her foot.

"At least while we're here we are getting a little vacation and shopping to relax with. More than I can say back in San Francisco, or Utopia, always something going wrong."

 

[NickisSora]

"Sounds good i think we can do that tonight."-Gambit smiled at her flirting back and thought about it.-"This is true the lil vacation off to the side is not bad at all cher especially since we are at the moment any way in Louisiana."-Gambit smiled and looked deep in to Rouges eyes the boy had been smitten by this girl since day one he had no idea why but he sure loved her.-"Tonight should be a good time ot do it to i saw signs for a festival tonight."

 

[Lillypen]

"Festival huh, well that should be more than enough of a distraction to keep the eyes away from us sneaking in."

Rogue looked up and stopped from saying anything else as she saw their server coming with the food. As Remy dug in she took a taste of her gumbo, enjoying the flavor.

"Sugah, you sure can pick 'em."

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy chuckled.-"When it come to cuisine around here i know my places."-he chuckled and dug in to there food. Towards the End of the Meal Remy looked up seeing those Mutant Haters out in a car waiting for them.-"Don't look now cher but i think we may have a issue We better high tail it."-He slipped the money on the table after he asked for the chek as they got in 4 of them came in.-"Every one Freeze get those Mutants."-Remy shook his head.-"Gambit got to remember to quit speaking."-Throwing a card at the 4 men it Exploded to send them out the door. The Management was surprised and Gambit gave them a bit extra money to compinsate this. Running with Rouge they knocked the 4 men down again as they barely got up. Jumping in the ATV they raced towards up town and he sighed.-

"Cher......this be dangerious work.....i like it."-he chuckled. Getting to the Hotel he sighed giving her the key to her room.-"Here you go cher."-he said as he stretched.-"What you going to do till night?"

 

[Lillypen]

As Remy handed her the key to her room Rogue could see a look of exasperated disappointment on his face. She knew he still loved her, and she still loved him, but life always seemed to find a way to insert itself between them. Secretly she also worried about him a lot in this mission, since it didn't seem like all that long ago when he had been warped into one of the Horsemen, Death. She sighed slightly at his question before thinking on her answer.

"Well, Ah need me a good bath. All this muddin' around on the ATV has got me feelin like a mess. After that I plan on relaxing a bit, perhaps with something nice to drink." She smirked at her thought "Maybe if you're good I'll share some with you." She winked before unlocking the door to her room and slipping inside.

"I'll call... maybe." She closed the door behind her with that, leaning against it a moment, smiling. She was a fool for the man, and she knew she couldn't help it sometimes. She made her way to the bathroom and got ready for a long and relaxing bath.

 

[NickisSora]

-Remy could concure with her thoughts. Remy went in to the Shower to just rleax. After he bathed he put on a fresh pair of shorts and a tee shirt for now. LEaning back on the bed he walked over to the bags and unpacked again. Remy ordered a Tall sweet tea to be brought to him and sighed once it got to his room he kept his cell by him and sat in his room leaning on the bed's hed post watching a movie.-

 

[Lillypen]

After a thoroughly enjoyable bath Rogue slipped on a bath robe and set out a set of clothing for the outing later tonight when they went sneaking around. Thinking to herself that it would be so much easier if she could just recall any powers she had had before, like she used to be able to do. She'd turn on Kitty's power and just walk through the walls. Calling room service for a couple of things she waited until her order was brought up before placing a call.

"Remy, why don't you come on over. I slid the keycard under your door a second ago, just come on in so we can talk about the plans for the evening."

Sitting with her back against the headboard she poured two glasses of the chilled champagne, and relaxed, taking a sip while she waited for Remy to come in.
