"Morph," Kevin replied, using his codename as well. His habit of being inquisitive, of being the media man he pretended to be, woke up, making him want to continue the conversation in a quieter place. He touched the woman's shoulder, indicating his intention to leave the dancefloor. "Let's go talk."

"Okay," Shade said. She wasn´t feeling too good about this. She didn´t know this guy after all, but for now he seemed merely curious in a way that was not surprising to her. They had just run from some giant sort of machine together and she was still feeling rather upset about it, needing to vent in a way. She looked around the place, not seeing Gambit anywhere.
They made their way a little away from the dancefloor where there were a few tables and chairs, snug corners where one could talk more or less in privacy. Some of those were empty. Had she had her full memory, Shade would have identified the guy´s face. Not immediately maybe, but she would have sorted it in, having bought the X Factor out of curiosity before.

Kevin sat down, fastidiously brushing aside empty beer glasses that had been left on the table. He had given his codename on purpose; seeing as she hadn't recognized him, he didn't want to flash his real identity around. "What were you doing before this thing happened?" he asked. "Was there any transition?"

"Just having a drink at the bar," Shade said, realising that the young guy she had been.... talking to earlier was gone. Probbaly off to find a new prey she thought. "and then I was suddenly somewhere else. How about you?"

"Nothing," Kevin shrugged, showing his complete lack of understanding of how this had worked. "I was just standing by a wall, looking around."

Shade possibly would not even have thought into that direction usually, but her mind was on a very careful track. The first thing she had thought when finding herself in the illusion was that someone had messed with her head again and made her lose another few years through another amnesia and now her thoughts were working slowly back on that line of thoughts.
She looked around. "What if this was someone´s powers kind of manipulating us?" she asked. "that might explain why there were several people at..that place."

"It's possible," Kevin agreed. The thought didn't bother him; in fact, it was the most plausible explanation in this place. However, it wasn't what he was interested in most of all. "But what I'd like to know more is, was the choice random? Why did we get to be there?"

"For that I think we´d need to know who it was if it was that." Shade considered. "Might be people in a certain radius. Or with certain powers... or random."

"Well, it's hardly possible to find out," Kevin said. "We can't find this person here. What are your powers?"

"Invisibility," Shade said. The guy seemed genuine, but she was still more observant and careful than she might have been a few weeks ago. "I guess you can do some sort of shapeshifting?" A guess into the blue. She hadt seen him morph earlier, but connected it solely to his name.

Well, his name did speak for itself, so Morph just nodded. "Doesn't seem related, does it?" he asked, wondering if there was something else that they could have in common.

"No, it doesn´t" Shade said, tossing a look into the crowd as if she was half expecting some mutant to stand out from it. Of course that didn´t happen. "Unless you go for the fact that we can both disguise ourselves with our powers." She gave a shrug. "But I don´t think that doesn´t make much sense. Maybe, if it was another mutant, there was just something odd going on with his powers or something." Something I could have lived without for sure, she added in thought.

"I can definitely say it's never happened to me before," Kevin said, "not here, nor anywhere else." Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was curious about it. It had been an interesting experience, whether it was a parallel reality or just an illusion, it had been interesting and useful to get a glimpse of something like that. However, it shook his foundations a bit. He couldn't be sure of anything anymore and he had seen a threat that was, probably, beyond his abilities to fight against. It made him feel too vulnerable for his taste, and up to now he'd been confident about his abilities to stand up for himself.

As soon as he levelled his breath, Remy rose slightly on his knees for a kiss. Well, he needed to dot the i. Betsy accepted the kiss, assuming it was a kind of conclusion. "Do you mind if I stay here for a little while? Just a few more minutes? I need to get myself together, but I'd also like to watch her a bit more." |

"No, 'course not," Gambit replied with a small smirk, rather flattered that she liked the dancer. "I'll tell 'er ya liked 'er dance. She's always happy t' hear she's 'preciated." He turned around and sat down on the floor with his back against the sofa, taking a small pause to rest and to enjoy Mirage's dance. He knew she'd be taking a break soon, and he was glad they'd caught her before it.
