The room is fairly large, with a full size bed against the far wall. The bed is usually covered in emerald green sheets and has a small collection of stuffed animals on it. She has a large walk-in closet and a bathroom. Against another wall sits an antique desk, with a state-of the art computer system on it. An overstuffed chair sits in the corner, with a lamp above it for reading, and a bookshelf to it's left.

(continued from the Rec. Room...)
She flew up the stairs (quite literally) and slammed the door, trying her best to avoid having to answer any questions. Locking the door was really an exercise in futility, if someone wanted to come in, they almost all had alternate means available. Still, it provided some odd sense of comfort. She heard the click of the bolt as it slid in securely, and she leaned against the door.
Worried and slightly irritated, she walked over to her desk and threw the locket down, picking up the phone and dialing the number of Remy's cell. After a few rings, a familiar message played, and her frustration grew.
"Rem... it's me. But ya probably know that. Probably why ya didn't answer. Look, forget Ah ever brought it up, ok? A buncha the girls are all goin' into the city tonight, so Ah probably won't be here when ya get back...you are comin' back, right? 'Cause the team really needs ya... Hell, who am Ah kiddin', Ah really need ya. Just... Ah'll have my phone with me. Call me. 'Kay? Ah hate leavin' messages." She tried to laugh, but it came out more like a choking duck. "Please call. Or Ah'll beat the living shit outta you when you do get back." She laughed again, making a slightly better attempt, then amended her threat. "Ah'm kiddin' of course... Rem, it's just that--" She was cut out with a loud beep, as the tine was up for leaving the message. "damn."
She tossed the phone onto her bed and followed it, landing face first, her head effectively buried in the sheets. After a moment or two of just laying there, she floated herself over to her closet and finally opened her eyes.
"Might as well get dressed..."

She looked in the mirror, making sure that she was adequately covered. Going out was always an exercise in not only fashion, but also strategy. This time, she had settled for a pair of thin leggings and a short leather skirt, with a sheer green top over a black tank top. She tugged on a pair of black gloves and started searching for her boots. After searcing for awhile, she remembered that she had taken them off somewhere else. She finished getting ready, brushing her hair and applying makeup, and grabbed her purse. With a final check in the mirror, she left the room and headed down the hallway to retrieve her shoes.
((continued in Gambit's room.))

She threw the door open, not caring that it hit the wall behind it with a loud cracking noise. She was pissed. Pissed that her clothes were ruined, pissed that her night was ruined. Just plain pissed. She threw what was left of her clothes into the garbage can and kicked the door closed. Rummaging around in her closet, she pulled out a sweatsuit and started to peel her battle uniform off.

Remy stood out side the room. The door was shut and he knew if he bust in while she was changing he'd get a slap, and when she slapped him it took a while to wear off. Bah it was worth the risk...
He cracked the door and stuck a boot around it. Nohing happened so he slinked in. Rogue was just pulling on a hooded sweat top.
"Dyah enjoy that, huh?" Rogue looked up.
"What little I saw, yeh," said Remy smiling cautiously. "Look chere, I have something I been meanin' to talk to you aboud for a while."

She pointed to the bed. "Sit."
Walking around to the bathroom, she took out her brush and sat down herself, brushing out her hair.
"Ah'm sorry about earlier... Ah was just..." She sighed. "What's up? Other than you tryin' t' sneak a peek at me while Ah'm gettin' dressed, that is..."

"Well since... Antarctica things haven't been goin' so great for me. A lot of people have been sayin' t'inngs an... well I haven't really bin helpin' at all. Somet'in happened in Antarctica. There I was layin' in de snow freezin' to death when, something grabbed a hold of me and helped me get to shelter. It, well she actually, has been kinda in me ever since and, to be frank, she don't like you... I know dis all sounds kinda weird but, it's de truth, and i feel a fool for not tellin' you from de start but you really weren't in a talkin' mood." Remy sighed and stared at his feet.

The second she heard the word "Antarctica," she tensed up. Setting the prush down on the bed next to her, she looked at him quizzically.
"Theres...someone inside of you?" She wasn't entirely sure that he was being straight with her, but his face seemed genuine. Standing up, she grabbed her brush to put it back in the bathroom. Before she turned to put it away, though, she shook it at him.
"Well you'd better tell it...her... whatever, to come out here and face me if she hates me so damn much."
She walked into the bathroom and slammed the brush down on the counter.

Mary sighed. She had been hoping that Remy would be able to keep this all to himself. No matter, though. She was in control, and if he couldn't come to terms with that... well, they'd made a deal.
With a muted whoosh, she exited his body and stood in the corner of the room, holding him down with her mind, keeping him from talking.
"You wanted to bring her into this, you will be the witness as she is brought OUT again."
She smiled as he tried to talk back to her but found that no sound came out of his mouth when he did.
"I told you, Remy... I own you."

She looked at herself in the mirror. "This is nuts." Turning back towards her room, she heard a muffled voice that definitely wasn't Gambit's. But who? She walked out into the room.
"Kitty? Is that...holy shit." She looked at the giant green smoke-like woman, then back at Remy, who seemed to be trying to say something.
"Guess you weren't joking, Sugar." She looked at the woman, who had floated towards the ceiling and was partially covered by the canopy on her bed. Raising an eyebrow, she floated upwards and peered over the cloth at the woman...if you could call her that.
"Is there somethin' you wanted t' talk to me about? Remy here says that y'all have some issues..."

Mary smirked. "From what I've seen inside of Remy's mind, 'y'all' have more issues than can be counted."
She laughed as she sensed Rogue's anger rising. Thanks to her unlimited access to Gambit's mind, she knew exactly how to push Rogue's buttons.
"Still, you're going to be a problem, I see. Your being around is only going to complicate things."
She had spent some time and a great deal of effort keeping Remy alive and in good shape. She wasn't about to lose it now.

"From what I've seen inside of Remy's mind, 'y'all' have more issues than can be counted."
She clenched her fists. Not only was this thing mocking her accent, but she was also mocking, oh, I don't know... her life.
"That ain't none of your business."
"Still, you're going to be a problem, I see. Your being around is only going to complicate things."
She frowned. "Ah could say the same about you. Here Ah thought that Remy was just actin' weird on his own accord. Now Ah find out that some strange ghost thing is inside of him... Who are you anyways? And give me one good reason why Ah shouldn't just pummel you right here, right now."
She wasnt entirely sure that she would be able to pummel her, given the fact that the woman didn't seem to be very solid, and Rogue herself was somewhat spent from the battle earlier. But rage could be a great motivator.

This was getting boring. She turned to Remy, who was still struggling against the invisible bonds that she put on him.
"What do you see in her? There's nothing there."
Turning back to Rogue, she extended a hand as if in offering a handshake. "The name is Mary." Squeezing the hand, she knew that Rogue was feeling her insides start to fry. "And This is unnecessary. Goodbye."
She smiled, satisfied, as Rogue's lifeless form dropped to the floor with a loud thud. Turning back to Remy, she laughed. "And you thought that she would pose a problem. Silly boy."
She reared up and re-entered his body, taking over his psyche completely.
"I'm in control now." The voice, though it came from Remy, was not his own.

She felt the strangest sensation and realized that the woman was doing something to her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel the pain like she did. She put up her mental shields as quickly as she could and fell to the ground, as if the woman's trick had worked. She pulled herself under the bed and watched quietly as the being re-entered Remy.
"And you thought that she would pose a problem. Silly boy. I'm in control now."
Reaching out from under the bed, she placed one of her bare hands on Remy's ankle, bringing him down to his knees, green smoke curling from his ears. He buckled over, his face right next to hers. Her eyes glazed over as she absorbed not only Remy but also this green being... Mary Purcell.
Remy keeled over, completely unconscious, and Rogue emerged from under the bed, flashes of two different lives playing in her mind. She tried to concentrate on Mary, tried to figure out what had happened, before the memories faded and became harder to access. Concentrating on what happened just before the two met up, she saw something that she definitely had not expected.
Mary was in a tube, having been caught after attemting to posess...Magneto? Something was wrong. But Rogue knew where to find out just what that something was. She grabbed her recently discarded uniform and changed back into it. Grabbing Gambit's limp body, she headed out the door, not bothering to leave any message about where she was going.
As soon as she got outside of the mansion, she whispered to Remy, "Keep still, we've got a long flight ahead of us and Ah don't want t' have to knock you out again."
She leapt into the air and took off, speeding faster than even the Blackbird could. ((Rogue flies to Genosha))

She opened the door and walked in, turning to invite Ash in as well. "Come on in... sorry about the mess."
She made her way to her closet and gestured towards the bed. "Why don't you go on and have a seat? Don' worry about burnin' anything, Ah hate those sheets anyways."
She rummaged around in her closet for awhile and finally re-emerged with a shoebox.
