"So. Shall we do this?"
"Yes, but we'll have to wait until Gambit wakes up. The containment device will have no effect until he's mentally active, all we can do now is wait until he's conscious again."
Magneto looked over his shoulder to make sure that Rogue wasn't in the vicinity. He lowered his voice slightly as he spoke.
"Until then, we might has well figure out how we can use Rogue to our advantage. What would you suggest we have her do?"

Mystique contemplated it for a moment.
"Jump off a very tall building? Without her powers?"
As nice as that idea sounded, it was most likely not what Magneto had in mind.
"Well... I'm sure that she wouldn't knowingly give up the X-Men, or do anything to harm them. She's already laden with guilt about all that she did to them when she was with us before."
Smiling, she added, "She tends to read her diary out loud after she's done writing in it. The locket, you know..."

Magneto sat there, pondering the best way to put Rogue to use.
"Jump off a very tall building? Without her powers?"
"Yes, very funny Mystique."
He let out an exasperated sigh, wishing that Mystique would try and put forth something constructive for a change.
"I do have an idea though. There is that mutant experimentation facility in South Africa...maybe we could use her to help liberate the mutants there. I'm sure her strength and invulnerability would come in handy, and it would be a good opportunity to try and persuade her to come back to us..."

She put her feet up on her desk and thought about it for a minute. Nodding, she used her computer to pull up maps on the screens across the room.
"Now would be the best time, Erik. It's still early at the X-Men's little zoo. "
Switching to a satellite image of the x-mansion, she smiled, noticing that it was calm and quiet.
"Shall I go fetch her?"

"Now would be the best time, Erik. It's still early at the X-Men's little zoo. "
"Indeed, I doubt they could adequately prepare themselves to intervene, with the state that they're in at the moment."
"Shall I go fetch her?"
"Yes, we need to get this up and running as soon as possible."

With a nod, Mystique left the briefing room and headed for Rogue's bedroom.
((Continued in, you guessed it, Rogue's room.))

She sauntered in and sat down at the table, taking what used to be her chair.
"What's the mission, Mags? And it had better be good, for me t' leave that woman in charge of Gambit."

"It's time for you to live up to your end of the bargain. There's a mutant experimentation facility in South Africa. You're to accompany me and help me liberate the trapped mutants inside. We are to leave now if we want to strike at the most opportune moment."
Knowing what was at the forefront of Rogue's mind, Magneto pre-empted her concerns.
"Don't worry about Gambit, I'll make sure Mystique tends to him and extracts the mutant trapped within him. Now let's get ready to go, we don't have much time."

She nodded and winced slightly at the reminder that Remy was quite literally being left at the mercy of Mystique.
"So, we taking a jet? Or flyin' ourselves?"
Best not to ask questions related to the event itself... the less she knew, the better.

"So, we taking a jet? Or flyin' ourselves?"
"We'll use our powers to fly there, they won't be able to detect us as easily that way."
Magneto's cape billowed behind him as he walked out of the briefing room.
((continued in Paul Martin Containment Facility))

Mystique sat down at her desk and pulled up all of the major news channels on the screens, satisfied to see that Rogue and Magneto's little trip had been picked up worldwide. Her smile widened as she noticed that Magneto had, for the most part, avoided being captured on film at all.

Jean-Paul had walked along at normal pace, not hurrying so Mystique had time to settle herself again when he got to the briefing room. He'd only had to search half the damn floor. "About your offer of membership," he began "what kind of terms are you offering?"

"We don't have dental, if that's what you're asking. Although ask just about anyone on this island for something and they'll give it to you if you're a member of the Brotherhood. You get room and board. Also, use of our medical facilities when you are injured though, like I said, we do not have a specialist and you'll have to go out onto the island for some things. We have a training area, fully equipped with whatever you might need. Speaking of which, If your powers are of no use to us, we will not let you join, regardless of how...warm... your personality is."

Jean-Paul was considering it. Seriously. Everything he'd read about the Brotherhood implied a high level of talent and a stunning level of incompetence. Maybe, they might even be able to do something useful. "I'm in," he said suddenly, almost before he had decided. "My powers include superspeed and flight. And I want a dental plan."

a rose seed left on Mystique suddenly burst into bloom. it grew not vine or stem. only one beautiful blossom with blood red petals. Moss was quite taken with Mystique. since he would have to pretend to hate her from here on out, this was his little gift to her.
