Disclaimer: I do not own Gambit or Blaze, the former belongs to Marvel the later is an OC belonging to Lamby
A/N: Just a short ficlet based on Lamby and Corinth's X-Men: The Movie timeline but separate to it. For more info on Blaze go read Lamby's stories, they are great. Basically what happens when Gambit gets home from the island after X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
Afterwards
"So where's your new friend?" A lithe red head asked as Gambit entered the bar, frowning slightly.
"Not a clue petite," He replied as he took a seat next to her, "And he's not a friend,"
"Oh?" The red head asked raising an eyebrow, "He beat you up didn't he?" She said laughing.
"Non," Gambit replied with a scowl, as the bar tender brought him a whiskey.
"Yes he did, a few people heard your fight and went to investigate. Saw you nearly getting run through, only to take him off in your new plane⦠You didn't lose it did you?" She demanded her brown eyes dancing with amusement as she teased him.
"Non petite, the plane is fine," Gambit said crossing his arms in annoyance, "I don't want to talk about it," he said and the red head laugh again.
"You're being so touchy Gambit," She said, "So what happened to him?"
"If you'll believe it, he got shot in the head twice and got up again. Couldn't remember a damn thing though, not even his name," He said taking a swig of his drink.
"Ouch, still it's not likely that we'll ever meet again right?" She asked and Gambit shrugged.
"Doubtful," He said and they sat in silence for a moment, "So Blaze, you manage to get what we came for?"
"Of course, we'll be able to head back to Paris in two days. Mercury said she'll throw us a party," Blaze smirked and Gambit raised his glass in toast, putting the memory of the strange man with metal claws out of his mind. After all, as Blaze said, they weren't likely to meet again anyway.
