[Video]

[dontmesswith]

[The video turns on to show a very young, girl with brown hair parted down the center and white bangs. There's dark eye shadow and lipstick on her wearing a black tank top with a faded sweater over it with the sleeves off her shoulders and going down to her wrists. Her shoulders are exposed whereas her hands are gloved.

There's no mistaking the serious expression on her face. She's not pleased in the least.]

This is gettin' old very fast. Someone better start talkin'.

Re: ..I think dw ate my post.

That ain't so bad, then. Jean-Luc LeBeau might not win any awards for good upbringing, but he still worth a little risk to save.

[Almost nostalgic]

[dontmesswith]

He was the only one Gambit mentioned. Only one I saw him walk away with.

After that, didn't see him. Had the X-Men pick me up and headed back to Bayvill. [Shrugs]

[notinthecards]

The one I don't know, he don't matter so much. No reason to talk about him. The other...

I got smarter with age. So the Remy you know, maybe he wind up not so bad in a few years.

[Shrug.]

Maybe not.

[dontmesswith]

I don't even know if I'll see him again. Like I said, didn't see him after that. [She looks him over again before shaking her head.

She's gotten enough information from him, now it's time to find a way out. Maybe touch one of the doctors to get their memories. Though if those memories or personality is too strong, it could overwhelm her.

It's a risk she'll take.]

Anythin' else I should know? About you or this...place?

[notinthecards]

You got the basics on both, I think. I wait and tell you the rest later. Maybe after you try to break out.

[dontmesswith]

[Was she that easy to read or did he know her that well?]

Think I won't be able to get out of here?

[notinthecards]

[Mostly the second.]

I wouldn't bet against you. But I wouldn't bet at all, cherie. Nobody give me odds on a bet like that. People been here three years. They say Magneto was here, tried to get out until he get in trouble and the government make him disappear. 'Release,' they call it. Maybe that means they send you home, but maybe not. Until Remy know, best to sit and play solitaire and watch it all play out.

[dontmesswith]

[Then he will understand why she gets stubborn at this point. No, she will get home, return to the Institute and have a 'semi-normal' life. She doesn't look phased hearing Magneto was on New Moore once. Really, where hasn't that man been?]

Tch, just watch it. Kitty and me will be able to go home and leave all this behind in a matter of hours.[Okay more like days, BUT THEY WILL GET HOME. YOU WATCH HER DO IT :|]

[notinthecards]

[Laid back.]

I'll be cheering for you. You think of a way this boy can help, you just call. I spread my coat over any puddle you can name. Just in case that Gambit of yours swan back into your life someday a little brighter.

[dontmesswith]

[When is the man not laid back? Honestly...somethings will never change.]

...you really think I'd call you over a puddle. [Sarcasm, she loves it so.]

Doubtful Gambit will come back, but stranger things have happened. [Like now for instance.]

[notinthecards]

It's a strange world. And the puddle just an expression, cherie. Any kind trouble. I think you know better than to underestimate what the Cajun can do. Bail you out, break you out, fight an army... you're the most stubborn woman I know, so if you call, I know it be something important.

[dontmesswith]

I know you're not above flirting and kidnapping to get your way. And possibly more stubborn than Logan. [She knows this first hand and though she might appreciate his help, there's still an issue of trust between them. He's gained something of her favor with the ego-stroking, but only time will tell if he lives up to his words.]

But bailing me out? What makes you think I'd even get caught int he first place? [Sarcasm and tiny ounce of playfulness there.]

[notinthecards]

Best to hope me and him never get in a stubborn contest.

I don't think you get caught, cherie. But better to plan for more than just what I think happen. They tell you you have one phonecall, you keep me in mind, that's all.

[dontmesswith]

[....okay that is a little bit funny there, making her smile slightly before going back to being collected.]

If you're the only one on this island, maybe I'll give you a call.

[notinthecards]

Now you hurt my feelings.

[dontmesswith]

You'll get over it. This isn't the first time I've done that.

[notinthecards]

Truer words, cherie. I sit here and mend my broken heart a while. By the time I'm done, I think, either you be on your way home, or maybe my phone be ringing.

[dontmesswith]

[Rolls her eyes.] Mending your heart won't last long, not until another girl comes 'round.

[For both their sakes, let's hope it's the former and not the latter.]

[notinthecards]

I let you in on a little secret, cherie, if you want.

[dontmesswith]

And what would that be?

[notinthecards]

You got a mutant power you don't know about. For me, it's been seven years since the first time I lay eyes on you. Since then, cherie? You turn all the other girls invisible.

[dontmesswith]

[When he first mentioned her having a new power it fills her with dread, but when he starts to expand upon it....she turns her head to hide any pink coloration that may or may not be on her cheeks.

Of course he'd throw in a pick up line.]

Haha, very funny.

[notinthecards]

I'm not laughin. Tell me then -- of all the people in the world who might have helped him, why your Remy come to you when he needed help?

[He stood up, stretching, not hurrying away but still making ready to go. Maybe he'd said too much. More than he should, any rate. And it was bad manners to overstay a welcome.]

[dontmesswith]

Probably as a last resort...? [She should go, but damnit, he's making it hard to leave.]

[notinthecards]

You really think his last resort be someone like you? No. Dangerous people, cherie, people he don't ever want to think about, but their type always be around, and always willing to do a favor now for a bigger favor later. Someone like this boy's last resorts never going to be an X-Man like you. Maybe not his first choice for a rescue mission, that I couldn't say, but you his best resort, for certain. I promise you that.

[Sighing, patting his pockets.]

Well. We both got places to be, no? You see that boy before you see me, give him my regards. And take care of yourself and the Shadowcat.
