"Dat been somethin' ya learned when chased by de Sentinels," Gambit explained, as he recalled he had definitely told her about those. "It goes beyond invisibility - ya can disappear from infrared sensors, give off no sound, no nothin'. I'm not too good on the details 'ere, but I remember it would drain ya when ya used it."
They pulled over near the workshop, the nondescript little warehouse.

Shade blinked as she tossed him a short glance, an eyebrow raised before looking back ahead at the road. "Neat." she said, after three seconds or so of considering that new bit of information. Immediately she felt like trying to test this. Maybe later, during training. She had no idea how she had done it, had no knowledge that it needed a different kind of focus of her powers than mere invisibility, but just like the news that she had learned to widen her powers to hide objects and people had made her daring and wanting to experiment as she had done after that, this made her want to try her stealth. She took a mental note on that for mater, since they had arrived. She noticed, when she opened the door to get out, that theirs was the only car around.

Gambit raised his eyebrows briefly to show that he agreed.
They went inside the workshop; as was to be expected, they were the only visitors there. The master was already waiting for them.
"Here it is," the man said after a brief nod of greeting, reticent as ever. He walked them to a stand where Shade's costume, still colorlessly black, was pinned and waiting for them. He gave Shade a stern look as if to make sure she hadn't changed her body over the past weeks, wasting his work to nothing. "It might require some adjustments around the thighs and under the arms, but we'll see."

The master seemed to be one of the kind of persons that were difficult to read. Not with regards to any kinds of powers that might have assisted Shade there - powers she didn´t have - but difficult to read even with gut feeling. Thus, she was not suspicious, but not too openly trusting either.
She stiffled a giddy grin as she approached the costume. "Is there any place where I can try it on?" she asked, tossing a glance at the man. She sure didn´t have any trouble undressing in front of Gambit and her usual procedure would have been to merely dropped her clothes and unceremoniously changed them with using her powers. But she didn´t know that guy at all and this was neither a moment for socialising where talking about powers could be an ice breaker nor was it a dangerous situation where she needed to use her powers, therefore something inside her was reluctant about revealing what they were.

"That way, there's a changing room," the man replied, showing the direction with his hand. He took the costume off its display and handed it over to Shade, adding the boots separately.

Shade took the costume and the boots and was unable to keep the smirk off her face. It apparently wasn´t completely done yet, being all black, but she was still giddy about trying this on, more so than trying on a posh dress even. So Shade. She winked over at Gambit and walked into the small changing booth that was a little hidden behind a stack of crammed boxes.
Getting into the costume wasn´t easy. First, she wasn´t used to it. It apparently was simpler to put on than Gambit´s which seemed to have a complicated many little details and layers to it, but it still took a bit time for her to get into it. It turned out lighter than expected, giving her full range of movement. She tested the arms and legs, finding that there were barely any inhibitions. She couldn´t really tell whether it was perfect fit everywhere, around the waist there might be improvement possible, obviously she had gotten a little slimmer there in the last weeks and no wonder. She put on the boots, zipped the costume up and tried to make use of what little space the booth offered to try and view herself from different sides, feeling badass. She wasn´t quite used to clothes fitting that slim though. Stepping out, she was still moving her arms testingly for a moment. It fit really well, she hadn´t expected that.

"Now don' hide dere, woman, come over here," Gambit waved impatiently. He didn't know if she already tested the costume herself, but whether she did or not, he had a 'test program' of his own.

Shade walked over, spreading her arms. "How doI look?" she asked. Some part of her was starting to grow impatient already, not because she was annyoed, but because she wanted to run, climb and test this thing.

Gambit didn't care if she'd be bothered by him rolling his eyes. "Woman," he said in a tone of annoyance. "Raise your arms, will ya."

Shade raised her arms, and her eyebrow, but decided that there was no sense in any comment on that right now. She could still kick his ass later. Yes. Of course Shade. Would be the first time.

"Feels okay?" Gambit asked, stepping slowly around her as if she were a piece at an exhibition. "Bend over."

Shade did so, touching her toes with her legs stretched- just because she could. This was...feeling a bit weird. Probably because there was one person too many in this room. "Yeah." she said. "I think so."

"Nothin' pulls anywhere, nothin' gets in the way anywhere?" Gambit asked, looking her over in search of possible flaws in the costume. The master did the same, which was a common part of his work. "Try t' do a transverse lunge, stretch your leg as far back as ya can," he suggested. (( transverse lunge: )) |

Shade was feeling kind of funny with the two men staring at her like she was a car or something that was going through a final checkup. A few weeks ago she probably wouldn´t have known what a trans verse lunge was, but now she could follow that easily. The material of the costume was surprisingly elastic and she tried it with one leg, thenwith the other. "No, looks fine to me," she said.

"Bon," Gambit said, very pleased. He knew the master knew his craft, but it was still nice to see yet another proof of it. "Try t' bend backwards now," he said, offering her his hand to support her behind her back for that.
