"You still havent told me why your here. Does it have to do with that cajun thief you got wrapped around your little finger?"
Rogue smirked. "What was your first clue? Th' fact that he's Ah dunno, passed out on your bench? And he has a name."
She looked around and threw her hands up in the air. "This is nuts. Ah don't even know why Ah bothered coming back here." She looked over at Gambit again and sighed. Turning back to Mystique, she softened her voice a little bit. She knew that there was really no use arguing with the woman, since neither of them ever came out on top. And she hadn't come to spend time with her mother, either.
"You might want t' add to that file of yours," She pointed to the briefing room. "Kurt's been injured pretty bad. Ah doubt that y'all's goons will have t' worry about taking him out. Is mah room still together upstairs? 'Cause Ah'm stayin' here until Lensherr there fixes Gambit."

Emma Frost walked in the room into the War Room. She looked around and saw Rogue and was astonished."What are you doing here!"Emma yelled out pointing at her. She then walked closer and looked at her straight in the eye. Today she decided to be nice and not go into her mind to find out and wait for an answer.
((OOC: Thanks for the Emma picture))

Moss Shrugged, and headed towards the door. he paused and took a seed from one of his bandoliers, and flicked it at Rogue. the tiny seed landed on her shoulder. Moss forced it to begin to grow. "Leaves of three, let it be," he said as he walked out, heading after Mystique.

Mystique shrugged. If Kurt wanted to play hero, he deserved what he got. A loud clicking sound announced the arrival of Emma Frost who, like Mystique, seemed shocked to see two of the X-Men standing in their foyer.
"What are you doing here!"
Mystique crossed her arms and waited for an answer. She wasn't going to do any talking for the girl. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Moss was making a move. She smiled a bit as a small plant grew on her daughter's shoulder, the smile widening as she realized that it was poison ivy.

"What are you doing here!"
Rogue stared right back at Emma. "Ah could ask you th' same thing! What, didn't your little school work out?"
Looking at her shoulder, she noticed a plant growing and identified it immediately as poison ivy. She grabbed it and crushed it in her gloved fist. "Nice try, newbie, but theres something that mah mother dearest must have forgotten t' tell you... Ah'm pretty much invulnerable. That ain't gonna do anything. Now why don't you scurry on back to whatever hole you came out of and let the grown-ups talk, hmm?"
She turned back to Mystique and Emma. "Ah'm here because Ah need t' be here. Mags there knows how t' get rid of whatever the thing is that's screwin with Gambit."

Raven smiled. "Well why didn't you say so? I'll go get my gun. A few rounds into your head should do the trick."

Moss didn't reply to Rogue, he just closed his eyes and the poison ivy in her fist just continued to grow, brushing against her face, and winding their way down her shirt.
"Hurtin' you ain' de' poin' chica." he said finally, standing beside Mystique. neither of the women in the room looked friendly. she was, so far, his only contact at the Brotherhood. he decided to stand beside her.

Emma looked into Rogue's eyes."No my school didn't fail I decided to retire, Banshee is in charge now dear"Emma said smirking. When she heard about Magneto knowing how to get the thing out of Gambit Emma raised her eyebrow. "Oh, Poor Charles couldn't help your little boy friend out?" Emma said evily. Emma already knew the answer because she had read Rogue's mind before she could answer.

Rogue was starting to get irritated. And when Rogue got irritated, things had a tendency to get smashed. She pulled the vines off of her body and threw them at Moss, then turned to Emma.
"You're just a bitch all the time, ain't you? Back when Ah was in this little club, they actually cared about who they let in. It wasn't just any old washed up telepath with a chip on her shoulder or... flower-man. You know what? Ah'm gonna go to my room, before Ah do something Ah regret."
She walked over to the bench and lifted Gambit up easily, then headed towards her room.

Mystique smiled. It was outbursts like these that made her long for the old days... speaking of which...
"Actually, dear your room is being occupied. Storage. Needed to put all of my extra things somewhere, figured that was the best place. Of course, I hadn't counted on you coming crawling back to us."

Emma smirked."Oh Mystique you're little girl is all grown up cursing at me"Emma said sarcastically. Emma grinned, she then put her mind into Rogue's and made her walk back into the War Room."Not just any telepath can do that Dear"Emma said when Rogue came back in the room."Oh and I'm not just a telepath"

Rogue paused and turned on her heel, facing them again.
"You're using mah room for storage? What the hell could you possibly have to store there? You've got your whole room, now that Irene's..." She trailed off. She knew that Mystique had taken the death of her partner very hard, and truth be told, Rogue herself was still a bit shaken by it. It was different than when one of her teammates died. Destiny had raised her. And, unlike Jean, she hadn't returned. "Ah'm sorry... you know what Ah meant." She took a deep breath.
"Bottom line is that Gambit's gonna die if somethin' isn't done, and quick. Magneto's dealt with this thing before, he knows how t' trap it. Ah...we couldn't wait for The Professor or Hank or someone t' come up with a cure. Ah know that y'all don't care for either of us, and believe me, th' feeling is more than mutual, but he's hurtin'. And if y'all really stand for what you say you do, and don' just exist to kill people at your own leisure, then you'll see this for what it is at the base. Another mutant who needs your help. So are you gonna help him or not?"
She saw a slight movement in the shadows and snapped her head in that direction. "Creed, you stay the hell out of this."

She clenched her jaw and fumed silently. How dare Rogue bring up that subject? It gave her a cruel sense of satisfaction, though, to see that Rogue's face grew pained right away. She should feel guilty.
She looked at her daughter and at the limp form of the Cajun. She'd never really cared for him. At first the reason was because it was he that she believed was going to create a rift between her daughter and herself, but now it was because it was he that had brought them back together. Sighing, she morphed smoothly into Gambit.
"Oui, we'll help you chere." It was a last act of defiance, she knew how much Rogue hated it when she assumed his form. But Rogue was right. He did need help. And it was the fact that at the base, the Brotherhood stood for the good of all of Mutantkind that kept Raven from going mad.
Changing back into her normal blue self, she sighed again, avoiding eye contact with Rogue. "You will find your room in the same condition as you left it."

Emma started to laugh when Mystique took Gambit's form. But then she was astonished that Mystique told her her room was the same. Emma then nodded she figured that it was alright because Mystique was her mom.

Moss had withered the plant to nothing before it touched him. he wasn't immune to its irritants. he huffed when she called him flower-Boy. he kept quiet because they all apparently knew each other.
