Look, Gambit's gone now. He's been gone for awhile.

So do me and yourself a favor and let me go too. There's no real point in keepin' me there.

[sigh] Yeah. Not that mom really sees it...you'd think one of his evil schemes would stick around long enough so she would notice.

At least he's not very good at it.

[dontmesswith]

Considering that he has the word 'evil' in his company name, one would think she'd realize it right then and there.

How...or why did he do that?

[vanessasaryd]

She hasn't taken him seriously since he built Norm.

...he's a twenty foot robot with a humanity complex. [waves off her own explanation] Just, don't ask.

He wants to take over the Tri-state area. I'm not exactly sure why, other than he's evil. Sometimes.

[dontmesswith]

Wait, an evil villain that only wants to take over the Tri-state area?

And not the world.

...Is your dad even qualified to be a villain?

[vanessasaryd]

[defensive] Well, yeah, he's got a nemesis. Some secret agent keeps messing up his plans. [She'll just leave off the part where he's a platypus.]

[dontmesswith]

A nemesis that's what? A teddy bear with a coat and hat?

[vanessasaryd]

[arms crossed] No.

[dontmesswith]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Then what kind of secret agent is this nemesis?

[vanessasaryd]

...fine, he's Perry the Platypus. [This is embarrassing.]

[dontmesswith]

[..trying to hold back a snicker or a laugh.]

Uh-huh.

[vanessasaryd]

Maybe my mom is the lucky one. [unamused sigh]

[dontmesswith]

At least ya have her.

[vanessasaryd]

Oh.

[Ouch.]

M'sorry.

[dontmesswith]

[Shrugs]

Don't need an' apology or pity. 'S fine.

[vanessasaryd]

Yeah, I guess.

[She'd miss her mom something awful if she was gone, not that Vanessa would admit that aloud.]

I'd be willing to rent my dad out, if you want. [She smirks, kidding]

[dontmesswith]

Uh, no. Don't need a parent around me, thanks.

[Well..Logan and The Professor don't count. They're just...mentors to her.]

[vanessasaryd]

No problem.

Hey, if you're ever in Danville, we have the best junkyard raves. My friends are pretty cool, you could come hang out. Or not, whatever. [Either way, Vanessa wasn't into telling people what to do. Just wanted to let her know, she was welcome.]

[dontmesswith]

I don't do raves.

[Beat.]

But thanks, I'll keep itin mind.

[vanessasaryd]

You're welcome.

[Oh yeah, forgot about names.]

I'm Vanessa, by the way.

[dontmesswith]

I'm Rogue.

[vanessasaryd]

Rogue. Cool.

[Good name.]
