From Thief to Savior
Marie hissed in disgust as her car stalled in the middle of the street.
" Damn it all!" Rogue screamed the got out of the car and popped the hood.
Big Mistake.
Marie found herself surrounded by a group of rather large thugs, some with chains, a few with knives and several with guns. She quickly counted the number of men. Fifteen. She didn't like those odds.
" You can either come quietly or we'll have to make you." One of the men spat.
Rogue tried the most illogical approach first.
" Please, just let me go I'll give you my money, just let me go!"
" We want more then money, right boys?"
The men mumbled in agreement among themselves and began to advance Marie. As one of the goons wrapped his strong arms around her, she levitated into the air and rolled him off with her shoulders as if he were a feather.
" Oh shit boys she's a a mutie! Fuck her up!" Rogue removed her gun from the back of her pants and drew the hammer back, taking aim at the leader's kneecap then fired.
" AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man roared as he collapsed to the ground and sobbed in pain.
" Kill .her." The leader ordered to his lackeys. Soon she found herself pinned against a wall, being pounded at like a punching bag. There were so many of them that she couldn't shake then all off. Suddenly she looked up to see a shower of glowing objects falling towards the earth striking each man, sending them flying back away from Marie.
" Ain' nice to treat a lady dat way, damn yanks." The man growled in disgust as he stood from the rooftop taking in the sorry sight. He then leapt off the rooftop, landing gracefully upon the ground. He was dressed in a pair of tight black spandex pants and silver combat boots, His upper half, clothed in a crimson chest plate. Over this was a brown trench coat, the hood pulled upon his head so his face remained in silhouettes. The man then grabbed one of the petty thugs and pinned him to the wall.
" Apologize!"
" Mutie bitch deserves what she got."
" I said apologize!" The man's voice grew dangerously low as he reached into his trench coat pocket and drew the king of hearts into his hand. The card magically began to glow with a bright pink aura of light. " Or I'll blow you sky high."
While the card shark was preoccupied one of the thugs took the opportunity to aim his gun at the weary belle.
" Back off my boy Mutie or I'll shoot the bitch." The man turned and sighed as he released the charge of his card and placed his hands up.
Marie reached up for the man's bare hand and began to absorb his life force, quickly rendering him unconscious. Remy slid out several cards into the palm of his hand, charging them then tossing them to the rest of the lackeys, causing them to fall to the ground.
" Are you alright?" A low husky voice asked Marie.
" Ah'm fine."
The man then walked out to the street and flagged down the cab driver for her.
" Have a pleasant evening."
" Wait I didn't even get your name, I gotta reward ya or something."
" The name is Gambit, and I don' need no award."
Gambit then ventured up to the cab driver and handed him a hundred bucks.
" Take her home."
The cabbie nodded as Marie climbed into the back seat and sighed.
" Well thank ya.if ya need to get in touch my name is Marie Darkholme."
" Can I at least see your face?"
" Lady we gotta get goin!" The cabbie growled at her . Marie sighed as she opened the door and climbed in.
" Will I see you again?"
The man just gave a nod and walked off as the cab began to drive off.
