 Rebecca watched him silently for a moment and shook her head. She chuckled softly as she looked around. When she saw that nobody was watching she rose slowly from the ground, her hair flapping in the wind. She hadn't used this little power in a long time. It felt good to be up in the air, the wind moving around her. She easily caught up with Michael and she winked at him. "Lead the way."

 Michael Callaway Michael chuckled as he accelerated into a fluid loping stride, leaping from rooftop to rooftop quickly. He pushed off, twisting as he somersaulted and rolled with the landing before he pushed off quickly, catching the edge of the ledge before he let his muscles jerk upward with the compressed energy of his body much like a coiled spring releasing. He shot upward, landing on the top of the ten story building and dome in a crouch before he half turned. He blinked upon noticing something glittering on the edge of one of the ledges before he unsheathed his claws and climbed up towards it. His eyes widened as he noticed the staff embedded in the concrete. His hand brushed it and almost the moment his skin touched it, it released a concussive sound like a whipcrack as it blasted itself free, landing in his palm as he twisted, dropping backwards before landing and skidding almost to the edge of the seven foot ledge with the silver and black staff in his grasp. His eyes were closed and he was breathing hard as he felt the energy pulsing in the staff, which had a faint reddish pink aura flickering around it and condensing around his hand where it touched the staff.OOC:

Rebecca flew quickly after Michael, enjoying the sights of the city from up above. It was a sight that nobody ever got to see, and she was lucky enough to have this certain power to achieve the unthinkable. She too had seen something glittering at the same time as Michael. As he moved to the ledge from where it came. Everything seemed to happen at once. Michael touched the item and a massive sound whipped through the air, starting Rebecca enough that she momentarily lost concentration and began to fall from the sky. "Ah s**t," Rebecca muttered to herself as she stopped her rapid decent. She flew back up in time to see Michael coming dangerously close to the edge of the ledge. She shot a force of wind at him, keeping him from falling off. It had been close. She landed next to Michael, bending down to look at him. "Michael..are you okay?" She could clearly see that he was still breathing, but his eyes were closed.

Michael Callaway Michael's eyelids fluttered before he spoke quietly, though the voice that came out wasn't his. It had a fluid but strong Cajun accent to it. "Don' worry too much, chère; feels different, though with Claws in 'ere it ain't too boring," he said with an edge of amusement as he straightened, his eyes opening to reveal the scleara had turned a deep black though his irises were still the deep emerald green they naturally were. "Eh, so Foudre Princesse's here too?" he said with the amusement growing stronger in his voice. OOC: 'Lightning Princess' in French

Rebecca's head tilted to the side as she regarded him. The accent, and the massive sound wave... "Gambit," Storm said with a chuckle. "Looks like he and Logan are gonna have some time to chat it up." Rebecca chuckled a little. "Yes, Storm is here as well," she said as she tapped her head. "It's a pleasure, Gambit." She smirked a little as she looked around. She wondered how his staff and ended up way up here.

Michael Callaway Michael grunted as he inhaled, spinning the staff in one hand unconsciously before his finger brushed the button that retracted it. "Damn, didn't expect that to happen, though I guess Logan may have guided me to some extent. Regardless, Remy and Logan have plenty of time to catch up," he said with a sigh. He noticed Rebecca's surveying glance before he chuckled. "I know you're wondering how Remy's staff got up here; frankly even he doesn't know the answer to that," he said wryly. He was curious as to how he'd never known something like Remy's staff was up here when he was at or near this spot a few hours everyday.OOC:

"It is a bit out of reach," Rebecca said with a nod as she smiled at Michael. At the moment she was glad she only had one other voice in her head where he had two others to deal with. She placed her hand on her hips and grinned at him. "So, do we continue on to what you wanted to show me?" Her head tilted to the side slightly, catching the rays from the sun, making it seems as if her head was on fire.

Michael Callaway Michael looked up at the dome before he chuckled. "Why, when we're here?" he said with amusement. There were a few other places he could have led her, though some of them were... less than pleasant both in scent and locale. This one, however, was close to her home and fairly easy to get to; the view of the park and more distant bayou was impressive as well.OOC:

Kaosujin Ryu might be a bit between posts..trying a game Rebecca looked around and smiled a little. It was a beautiful sight up here. "It's nice up here." She closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the air this far up. She turned her gaze back to him. "Do you come up here often?" She pulled back her hair and let it fall down her back. Even though she had just flown here with the wind twisting her hair, there were no knots.

Michael Callaway Michael shrugged one shoulder as he sat on the edge of the ledge with his legs dangling. "Every few days or every other day when I can," he said quietly. "Most people underestimate how seeing things from a different viewpoint, whether mentally or from a different height, can change things for a person," he said quietly.OOC:

Rebecca sat down next to Michael, looking out across the city. It was beautiful up here. Calm, peaceful. Her legs dangled back and forth slightly. Her head tilted as she looked over at him. "Well it's a good place. Nice to relax and just think."

Michael Callaway Michael chuckled. "Why do you think the webhead always swings around getting place to place?" he said with amusement, unconsciously using Logan's nickname for Spider-Man. "Besides, when life seems to get harsher than I like... I have a few places like this that help me relax; I chose this one to show you mainly because it's close and because I was pretty sure you could get to it easily. As for the others, they probably have a better view, depending on your preference, though a couple of them are higher to get to," he said wryly, a slight Cajun accent slipping into his voice as he spoke.OOC:

Rebecca was surprised that he had thought to show her this place before. It wasn't like they were close friends or anything. He just sometimes gave her information she needed when she was working a case. Maybe it was the knowledge that they were both bonded with someone else that made him want to show her. She looked at him, her head tilted to the side. "I don't know if you noticed, but getting to high places isn't exactly a challenge for a girl like me," she teased with a smile on her face.

Michael Callaway Michael shrugged. "Didn't know you had a little help from a mutual friend. To be honest, I wouldn't have minded meeting some of them in person," he said with amusement. He heard Remy chuckle with amusement as Logan snorted. He knew without having to focus that the more feral mutant had rolled his eyes.OOC:

Rebecca chuckled softly as she sat next to Michael. Up here was pure peace. No hustle and bustle of the city, no bad guys to stop. Nobody hunting down and killing your sister... Rebecca shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. Most of the time she was able to keep them at bay, but the closer it got to the anniversary of her sister's death, the more she thought of it. People were often surprised she could push it away at all. After all, finding your own sister's body in that terrible way left scars on most people. Oh it had left scars on Rebecca, but she had found a way to live life with those scars.
