Gambit has posed:
It takes a certain type of person to be on a rooftop in the heart of the city at close to Midnight. Usually it's just those that are either fighting crimes, or commiting them. Remy is sitting perched attop such a building, a pair of thermal binoculars in one hand as he takes quiet notes on the building a little less then a block away.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake was in the city for some errands and had to stay the night. Since he could not sleep, he decided to get out and do a patrol. He figures he knows the city ok, but it will keep him in practice for cities he is not totally used to. So swinging from buildings, he finds himself on a building and notices someone staking out another building. As he pulls his line in, he sighs as he has to remove some webbing from it, since Spider-man must have been through the area recently.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau doesn't look up from his binocs as he calls out, "Yah good kid. 9.95 outta 10. Yah'd make a damn good t'ief if yah put yah mind to it." He turns back to where Tim is perched and adds "Ah mean dat as a compliment by de way." He makes another small note and puts his notebook in inner coat pocket. "Yah a talk first fight after sort, or de ot'er way 'round, cause Remy really not in de mood tonight.."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over at the man, and his mask is running the face identifying the man as running with the X-men, and thought of mostly as a hero, but there is a flag on his entry about possible criminal activity. He will look over and says "Well there is some temptation to do the whole Robin Hood Little John scene from the movies, I figure it might be easier for both of us if I find out if your staking out the place or casing the joint." He will put the grapple away and pulls out his bo staff, but is leaning on it not attacking. Seems the two have a shared interest in weapondry.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a bit and, since he mentioned Robing hood and Little John, pops his own staff and leans on it in almost an identical fashion. "Lil bit from column A, lil bit from column B." He admits casually. "dey got somet'ing dat not belong ta dem. Remy plan ta liberate it from dem an' return it ta de family of it's rightful owner. Yah got an issue wit dat?

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmmm and will ask "Well, how about you give me a little bit more information and I get to make an educated decision. I do know there are some folks, who do such things, but I would prefer to know whats up. Besides, if Wolfram and Hart are up to no good, it would be another good thing to know."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau nods slightly and walks over to a small cooler. He keeps the cooler in full view of the young Vigilante and makes it obvious that he isn't reaching for a weapon but rather a water bottle. He tosses one, lightly and underhand to Robin before cracking the other. "Okay. In 1943 a Worl' War 2 veteran bough' a town'ouse wit' 'is GI bill. Bought it den, free an' clear. Dat town'ouse now wort' a couple million. A man wit' Wolfram an' 'Art stole 'is identity and took four of dose reverse mortgages out on de 'ouse. Imagine 'is daughter's shock when her daddy die, an' de banks are now saying she eit'er pays back millions or dey taking de house she born in."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake catches the bottle, and watches and listens to Remy. While the other man might be a bit of a criminal, Tim is going with one of the skills he has that at least one of his brothers does not do as well. He is reading the man and his sincerity. After a moment he nods his head a bit to this and showing he is trusting the cajun, he opens the water and takes a sip of it.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau nods as the younger man sips his water and sips his own. "Problem is, dis place got about de same levels of Magical protection as dat place over on Bleecker Street. Remy one of de best t'ieves yah evah likely ta meet, but when it comes ta Magic Ah'm all t'umbs. So Ah trying ta find a.. mundane weakness.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmmms and looks over the area, and scratches his chin a bit and says "Have you thought more about getting into the bank, and instead of messing here, setting it up so, the deed is paid off there and the guy who did the scam owes the money for something he owns instead?"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau nods. "T'ought about it. It'd be easier foh sure. But den de bank just out de money. If it look like she gonna loose de 'ouse foh sure, Ah go dat route foh sure, But foh Ah cross dat perticular Rubicon like ta expose de guy who actually de criminal, yah know?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and nods "You have a way to contact you, I might know some folks who can help, if you tell them whats going on. I know at least one guy who would probably be happy to stick it to a Lawyer.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau considers and does that slight of hand thing where he flicks his wrist and a playing card appears in it. An Ace of Spades with a phone number writen on it. "Its a burner," He says simply. "One use only, so yah know, don' use it just because yah 'oping ta get mah grammy's cornbread recipie. Specially since she didn' even share it wit' me."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake takes the card putting it in his belt, and will pull out a metal R "Push the botton on the back of it, and it will power up and send me your local if you need me. I will get in touch as soon as I can. It has no power till the button is hit, so not trackable, till then.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau raises an eyebrow and flips the R in the air once as if testing it's weight, and making it vanish in the same manner that he made the card appear. And then offers his hand and smirks slightly, "Good meeting yah... gonna 'ave ta try dat Robin 'Oood Lil' John fight some day..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods his head a bit and says "We will have to set up a time when it does not interfere with other things." He steps back and back falls off the building and as he is falling his grapple shoots out as he spins and is off to another building.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau looks mildly amused and turns to look back at the building again, mumbleing mostly to himself, "dat boy woulda made one 'ell of a T'ief..."
