Gambit has posed:
Gambit and Rogue's adventure to the creepy manor on the hill proved a success. Right now they find themselves in a cupcake shop in Brooklyn called Sugar Muffins. Remy's contact a rather remarkable look alike for the (now dead in 2026!) actor known as John Goodman. This man could very well be one of his sons or a clone, if they were decked out in cybernetics.

They at least had time before this to go get changed, spend some down time which took over a good portion of a day and a half then find themselves here, smelling delicious baked goods and having the data they pilfered get cracked in to and decoded.

"Fence a good man, one of de most trustworthy thieves I know." Thats not saying a lot. Remy sits on an upraised bench, his hands on his knees grinning over at Rogue while their newest friend hums a song from behind the counter, back in the office. Having chucked his apron off and turned the sign to 'closed' they have had some freedom the past fifteen minutes.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue is pacing while Remy is sitting, he'd brought her to a cupcake store so naturally she'd had three cupcakes of different designs and was now just on a sugar high, trying to walk herself through it.

"A trustworthy thief, huh?" She says, glancing over to Gambit with a sly grin. "Thats like the Schwarzenegger movie... the one about Truthful LIes. Or whatever." Rogue lifts her cup of ice water up to sip from it as she comes to stand in front of the X-Men's own thief and she just eyes him with those pale green pupils of hers.

Rogue is now wearing a black hoodie and her gloved free hand is stuffed into the front pocket. "So where do we go from here with all'a this? Are we bringin' the others in on it yet? Jean, Scott?"

Gambit has posed:
"No good thief show up in any of those movies. You should be ashamed of even making that comparison, ma cherie." Remy grinsat Rogue as she moves in front of him. "Fence a good go to, make a mean cake and know jus' bout everything about technology."

Remy's fingers wiggle in the air like hes casting a spell at the word.

"Where do we go, uh, soon as we find out whats on there. It depends."A thoughtful sound, a finger rises up and rubs at his stubble, "We breaking rules in this or do we want to play with the rest of the team? I mean... " A shrug of his shoulders at the mention of both names. "I suppose, really, you wanting them or your Avengers, huh?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue sips from her water whilst she stares at his wiggling fingers and then averts her eyes over to his. She shakes her head back and forth, her white bangs waving gently as she does so. "Not necessarily." She tells him in regards to which 'team' they should use for this. "I mean, unless we dig far enough only t'find out that this is bigger than the two'a us can handle. But I know for a fact that if I can get ahold'a either'a those lizard men things... that I can mess'em both up easily. They were weak, gross, nasty little things. But if there's like some kinda... hive of'em?"

The southern girl just shakes her head side to side at that trail-off. "Maybe then we'd need some backup. I mean, I'm all proud'a you burnin' their home down though, that was sexy... don't get me wrong. But yeah, if we find a big hive'a these things, we may need some more firepower than just the two'a us."

Gambit has posed:
"Yeah, thats you, rest of us maybe not so much. They fast, all sharp and tough. Think what a buncha them could do let loose somewhere?"
"Be real ugly." Remy insists as Fence comes out of the back and puts his hands down on the counter, "Your pretty friend likes my cupcakes, on the house gorgeous." The big ma remarks.

"We need some back up, yeah, we probably about to find out who we gonna call." Remy adds in their conversation, his hand reaching out to pat Rogue on the hip, clothing safe.

A chuckle from the big man, "You guys know who AIM is?"

"You know I do." Remy says.
"Advnced Idea Mechanics. They got a hand in this, some of their patented strains in there, sounds like thats your next lead while I work out what the rest of this stuff is."

Rogue has posed:
"Thats a thing I don't wanna think about." Rogue says quietly about the Lizard-People being unleashed in great numbers upon people who couldn't defend themselves like she can.

But when the 'Fence' comes out and speaks toward her, Rogue just grins at him and saunters her way toward him with a saucey sway about her motions. Rogue switches to her fluent French, whether Fence knows it or not and she plays-up her husky voice and flawless accent. ~A man who gives a girl free cupcakes is a man a girl yearns to be near.~ She tells him, softly shaking her head side to side and tipping her chin up just a bit. She's a flirt. Remy knows this.

She's also just goofing around.

Rogue looks over to Remy then and grins at him. "Advanced Idea, what?" She says... apparently the newest full fledged Avenger has no idea who that company is. "Do they got a building around here? Like a.,.. uh, warehouse or somethin'?" Rogue glances back toward Fence. "These shadey freaks always got warehouses..."
