X-men Jack of diamonds, king of Hearts
As they taunted "call" at him, a Jack of diamonds leaped from the sleeve of his beaten tan leather overcoat and into his hand. The men stared in anticipation as he threw his hand up in air, landing perfectly in formation card after card in the centre of the table.
"Din't y'all think I could win you?" he pushed his chair back from the comfort of his rear and stood, hands cupped to receive his winnings.
"And with that, Sirs I bid you a bonne nuit. The night is a lady and she’s a-callin’ my name.”
Staff in hand he walked languidly down the hall through a throng of gambling people to his left and right.
“Not so fast” a voice uttered from behind him. “Remy”, she looked at him; eyes lost in his purplesque irises for a moment.
“Remy” she spoke again, he didn’t turn.
“Mademoiselle, I have not business with you no more.”
“Daddy.” She spoke again in hushed tones.
Gambit turned to look at her, his eyes glowed, and then he was gone.
A few miles from the bar he was stopped by a man who approached him.
“Can I help you mon ami?”
The man did not speak instead he took a swing at him Gambit leapt back just avoiding the unprovoked attack.
“Have you got a problem wit’ me or are ya just drunk”
“I saw you cheat in that poker game.”
“Oh now Gambit gets it your just another sore loser.”
“I want the money you stole from me back.”
“Sorry but there ain’t no refunds in the game”
The man started to growl and his coat began to rip into shreds on the floor, there stood before Gambit was a huge muscle bound mutant. He took another swig at Gambit and another but Gambit was a lot faster.
“Ya maybe strong but you is slow” Gambit taunted
Gambit threw his cards at him as they exploded Gambit tried to make his escape but the mutant grabbed his overcoat and threw him into a wall of a building. Gambit groaned and rubbed his head trying to make heads and tails of what just happened. The mutant picked Gambit up tightly squeezing him around him stomach and ribs.
“Can’t we just start talkin’ bout this?” Gambit gasped
The mutant lifted Gambit above his head and slammed him into the ground, Gambit spluttered in his pain. He was about to get slammed again when a voice shouted out
“Hey, ugly”
That voice Gambit recognised it in an instance it was the same voice from the bar. Several spikes went flying and scratched the mutants arm making him dropped Gambit. He coughed as he tried to get to his feet. More spikes impaled the mutant making him fall over and giving Gambit a chance to get up.
“Daddy” she said as she emerged from the darkness
“Ya know I don’t appreciate bein’ called daddy by the likes of you Marrow”
“Gambit let me explain why I’m here”
Then an almighty roar came from behind them and two giant fists smashed in down and shook the ground cracking in all directions. Both Marrow and Gambit jumped out of the way.
“Shall we talk about this after we’ve beaten ugly?” said Marrow
“Sure thing” he agreed
Gambit threw more cards as marrow threw more spikes, Gambit drew his staff leapt into the air and hit the mutant on the head with little effect Gambit was hit by him and sent flying backwards. It was Marrows turn she ran up to the mutant he went to hit her she grabbed his arm.
“Not today ugly”
She threw him just as he was about to get up she threw a truck on him he was down and out.
“Ha we make a pretty good team Gambit” she said
She turned to Gambit he just glared.
“What are ya doin’ here Marrow” he asked
“Well I” she paused “Why don’t we get away from here before the cops come” she continued
The found a quiet spot to talk.
“Just what do ya think you’re playin’ at Marrow?” Gambit asked
“Gambit I’ve changed I can control my powers” she replied
“Is that suppose to make up for what been hearin’” he scowled
“Gambit look whatever you’ve heard”
“Ya mean how you got half of your team mates slaughtered in an attack against humans” he said in anger
“It was a mistake Gambit I...” she insisted
“Look missy your nothin’ but trouble and so am I so I think it best if we staying away from each other”
And with that Gambit walked away into the darkness. Marrow bowed her head in shame and walked away in the opposite direction.
"Din't y'all think I could win you?" he pushed his chair back from the comfort of his rear and stood, hands cupped to receive his winnings.
"And with that, Sirs I bid you a bonne nuit. The night is a lady and she’s a-callin’ my name.”

the long way home
The story starts inside giant metal man made tunnels hidden under the sands of the Chihuahuan desert a shadowy figure is walking down making their way further down where people are working. Machines flashing and making strange noises, wires flowing from one end of the room to another well in a corner a child sits behind bars like an animal in a zoo being watched by dozens of eyes but all she does is smile and giggle a little while listening to the people discuss her fate.
“We’ll see what makes mutants tick,” says one
“I can’t wait to see what see looks like on the inside,” agrees the other
Meanwhile down a motorway Gambit and Jean Grey are on a mission to the Chihuahuan desert to find the M.G.S.L, which stands for the Mutant Gene Slicing Lab. These human run labs are hidden under the Chihuahuan dessert they are use for capturing, experimenting and dissecting mutants. The reason they are finding this lab is to find other mutants held captive and to shut down the labs.
Professor Xavier has been following two mutants who have been captured at one of these labs or so he thinks. So he sends Jean Grey and Gambit to find and rescue them then shut down the lab.
Gambit and Jean Grey discuss and argue their mission from Professor Xavier. Jean explains the details to Gambit and the importance of the mission, but all Gambit cares about is his so-called Cheri namely Rouge.
“I can’t wait to get this over and done with, for my Cheri awaits me” Gambit said excited
“Rouge shall be fine” Jean exclaims
“If you didn’t want to leave then you should of said so” jean said
“Weren’t my fault I came wit’ you the professor made me sayin’ I was the appropriate person for you to work with, or somethin’ like that” he explained
“If the professor sent you then you must be useful” she said hiding a small giggle
All Gambit can reply is “This is gonna be a long trip”
Back to where the little girl is. The people there were getting ready, ready for the surgery and experiments. They laid out scalpels and put on protective clothing, the girl was strapped to a cold metal table once again she giggled at them knowing that in just a few seconds they would all disappear and she was right the people who were surrounding her were all vanished one by one. Another girl soon set her free, her friend. Things were going according to their plan like it has done before. More guards came into the room armed to the teeth with guns and ammunition but it didn’t matter as they vanished in an instant by the little girl. When all the humans had gone they continued buy taking things that could be of value and then destroying what was left of the lab until nothing was left but a pile of rubble.
A few hours later Jean and Gambit arrived shocked at what they found. A crater with burned metal, broken glass and rubble everywhere.
“Looks like someone left the gas on and lit a match” Gambit joked
“This isn’t the time for jokes,” Jean said
Jean could not understand what had happened. She started to examine the wreckage. There could have been a number of things that could of caused this much damage but with the lab being underground the most logical explanation was the mutants. But the most confusing was the fact that there were no bodies of the workers. She pulled out an electronic map to decide where they should go next Gambit pointed out a park a living desert state park not far from where they were in Carlsbad. They began to head towards it. Jean’s guard was up because she could feel something that was not right.
The two girls were not in the town when the oldest girl sensed Gambit and Jean following them they hid and waited for them to confront them. When Jean and Gambit came close to the girls Jean stopped because she knew they were hiding just in front of them and called them out. The two girls showed themselves Jean began explaining the situation about the X-men.
“The school is a safe place sort of a haven for mutants even for those who have been abandoned by their families” Jean Explained
The oldest girl showed no interest while the youngest asked questions
“How many are there mutants? Is there cake? Are there lots of toys?”
Tension started to rise between them so Gambit introduced himself and Jean the girls introduced themselves as Dream and Nightmare. Jean asked again if they wanted to join the X-men, the oldest gave a hesitating answer.
“It is tempting but we have things to finish” Nightmare replied
“Killing more people and destroying buildings,” Jean yelled
“If you knew what those buildings were and what those people do you would do the same” Nightmare hissed
“We know what they doing in those lab,” Jean said calmly
Jean tried to convince them that the X-men were thing to do something about the labs and trying to convince them into coming with them and after so much talk Nightmare’s temper ran short and gave a final answer.
“We’ll come with you only when we finished what we started until then do not interfere”
After she said that Gambit disagreed and said that seems a bit harsh but his sentence was cut short when Nightmare knocked him off his feet and then knocked over Jean and warned them once again to stay away and vanished. Jean and Gambit got to their feet.
“Well now what?” Gambit asked
She explained that there was another lab but it was far from where they were. Gambit could not believe they had to walk it.
“Oh C’mon we have to walk it?” he said shocked
“Yes we do” Jean answered
“Can’t we just hire that jet you use?” he asked
“No, we don’t want to arouse suspicion” she replied
X-men characters
Nightmare: good character
She is a dark sinister character who likes to put people in their place, she takes delight in toying with people’s minds, and she is frighteningly intelligent and plans at least twenty steps ahead, scaring victims half to death comes naturally, shows hardly any emotion and when emotion is shown it is mostly anger. But despite all of this she is a good guy and fights for what’s right because of her phrase “bad guy’s never win” she knows a winning team like the X-men. She enjoys anything sweet (like cake) and is closely attached to dream due to an accident years ago. She is 18.
Her powers:
She can send people into another dimension made of nothing but darkness in this realm she is like as her name suggests a nightmare she can create images scary enough to send people into shocks, comas, close to death and is useful for interrogation. She can also send beams of dark energy at people. She is also great at close range combat.
Dream: good character
She is the complete opposite to Nightmare but loves her anyway because of an accident; she treats everything as a game or a chance to have fun, loves sweets, she cries when scared, she always smiles and giggles, when under pressure, cornered or stressed she becomes less approachable and insanely strong and scary, people who underestimate her are soon regretting it. She is 10.
Her powers:
Like Nightmare she can send people into a different dimension but she does not scare people unless she in angry instead she makes herself look big and creates a doll house and turns her victims into her dolls. She emits a sonic echo when she cries if scared this also alerts Nightmare of her location and that she is in danger. She prefers long range combat mostly because she can’t do any fighting if she needs to do close range if her opponent is male she will punch them where it hurts as she learnt from Nightmare.
Adonis: evil character
Like his name suggest he sees himself as a lord, he is delusional, and criminally insane, his plan is to recreate the world saving only mutants and killing all humans, Nightmare and dreams goal in life is to kill him. He has had many attempts in the past one which links nightmare and dreams goal to kill him
His powers:
He is super strong, an intelligent, he can shoot a beam of pure energy from his eyes he has basic powers of levitation.
