New York City, New York, United States of America
Storm
clouds grew over the X Mansion, or 'Xavier's School for Gifted
Youngsters' as the civilians know it. Professor Xavier was sat in
his office, wearing a metal helmet connected to his desk by wires and
cables. He was sat in his wheel chair, with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Rogue walked in. She remained silent
but sat in a chair opposite Xavier. Xavier then removed his helmet
and looked towards Rogue.
"Rogue, you have always wanted to
prove you can be a member of the X-Men," Xavier wheeled around his
desk, and stopped beside her "I have a mission for you"
"What
can I do to help?" Rogue spoke in her southern accent
"Magneto
has made contact with a docile mutant," Xavier hands Rogue a
picture of Remy LeBeau "His name is Remy, he lives in New Orleans.
He turned Magneto away, but I'm afraid that he might turn. I need
you to bring him here so I can speak to him."
"How can I get
there?" Rogue asked
"Your being driven there, by Jubilation
Lee." Xavier wheeled himself back around his desk
"Jubilee?
She can drive?"
"Yes, Logan taught her, and now she has her
license," Xavier smiled "Something you don't."
"Whatever,"
Rogue sighed "Is she in the garage?"
"Yes, she's there now
waiting for you."
Rogue stood up and walked out "Bye
Prof."
"Good Luck"

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America; The Next Day
Remy
was sat in another run down bar, wearing the same clothes he was
wearing during his poker game and meeting with Magneto. He was
playing another game of Poker, in which he had once again won
everything. Just as he had stood up, a 'biker chick' that must
have been about 17 years old was stood in front of him. Gambit, being
almost a foot and a half taller than her, looked down into her green
eyes, slightly covered by her medium length dark red hair. She was
also wearing baggy jeans, too long for her, big black biker boots, a
plain white t-shirt and a black leather jacket.
"You're Remy
aren't you?" She spoke with a slight Scottish accent.
"Yes
I am little lady, can I help you?"
"Can I ask you to follow me
please," She turned around and slowly walked off, without turning
back she shouted "Now please"
Remy followed her out of the
bar and into an abandoned building across the street. She led him
into a room with just a wooden table and two chairs placed opposite
each other, with the table in between them. The biker sat on one of
the chairs and Remy sat in the chair opposite her. She got out 3
plastic wallets and threw them onto the table.
"You are Remy
Etienne LeBeau, Nicknamed Gambit. You are a mutant with the powers of
Molecular Acceleration, Enhanced Agility and Hypnotic
Charm..."
Gambit interrupted "The agility is not a mutant
power, years of practice and skill, but how do you know all this?"
"I
am Rahne Sinclair, but you can call me Wolfsbane,' She introduced
herself 'I work for X-Factor Investigations and we're trying to
find a renegade mutant called Erik Lehnsherr, also known as
Magneto"
"So i'm guessing you know he came to see me three
days ago?" Gambit asked
"Yes, and we want to know what
about"
"Nothing important, he asked me to help him and to join
him"
"Why?" Rahne leaned forward and picked up one of the
plastic wallets. She took out the pieces of paper inside and flicked
through them.
"I don't know," He replied "I didn't hang
around with him for too long."
"Did he have any other mutants
with him?"
"Not that I saw"
Rahne sighed and threw the
papers down. "Another cold trail."
"Should I go now?"
Gambit asked
"One more thing, this man," She took out another
piece of paper and passed it to Gambit, it had the face of Professor
Xavier "This man will also be looking for you, wait for him to
contact you and then go with him, he will only help you"
"Okay
then," Gambit stood up "Goodbye Little Lady"
"Goodbye
Remy" Rahne replied, a slight smile on her face
