"Yeah, Ah heard it," murmured Rogue glancing around the grounds carefully. "Maybe it was just a bird or somethin'."
Rogue hoped that's all it was...she couldn't afford to be caught now.

Ray continued to look around, before pulling the one side of the gate open enough to slip through without havving to side-step; "Wanna wait out here?" he asked once he was on the other side; "I won't leave 'til I can close this," he said, then added; "just a habit."

Rogue nodded and slipped through the gates as well. It was better to wait outside the gates than inside. Out here she was less likely to be found--unless Logan decided to sniff her and Ray out for not being in bed, but she figured no one would notice they were gone.

Ray closed the gates, shaking them a little to make sure they weren't loose and it wouldn't be obvious that he and Rogue had slipped out. He turned and took in a deep breath of air, then stuffed his hands in his pockets before walking off down the drive. He waved back at Rogue, and said a finaly goodbye.
"Tell the Cajun I said hey!"
Ray smirked to himself afterward. He loved to get people second-guessing and thinking.

Rogue narrowed her eyes as Ray walked away. She was going to make Tabitha pay for ever talking about the stupid Cajun in front of everyone else...but it would have to wait until later, when Rogue had returned from her search.
Instead Rogue plopped herself down on the ground, glancing around suspiciously in case anyone tried to attack her or something.
"Stupid Swamp Rat," she muttered crossing her arms in front of her chest. If she didn't need his help she'd make him sorry he had ever laid eyes on her...but Rogue needed him. "He better get here soon or Ah'm leavin' without him."

"Ma cherie, dat would jus' be pointless." Came a cocky cajun voice from her left, accompanied by two glowing red eyes that seemed to be floating until he was close enough for her to see him. "Change ah plans, yah ain't gonna drain yah friend. We headin' tah Cuyo." Remy said quietly with a glance over his shoulder. He figured she'd appreciate not having to drain Amara for two reasons, less conflict with the mansion and one less person up in her head.
"Deh bikes parked down the street, Remy didn' wanna wake anybody." The Cajun explained with another quick glance over his shoulder.

Rogue scrambled to her feet the moment Remy emerged from the shadows. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, glancing behind her at the mansion one last time. The good news was she wouldn't have to absorb Amara, but looking at Remy it seemed that he was on edge too.
"Where's Cuyo?" she asked as she followed him to the parked bike. She shifted her knapsack yet again as she waited for an answer.

Rogue gasped in surprise as Kurt appeared in front of her. This was not how she envisioned leaving town. Rather than answer him herself, Rogue quickly stepped behind Remy, pushing him forward towards Kurt.
"Tell him, Swamp Rat," she ordered in a quick whisper.

Ray had made it to the main road thanks to cutting through the woods. He paused, ducking back behind a bush a a cop car wheeled into view. He remained motionless until the cop had passed, and then sighed with relief. Straightening up, he froze again as he heard, well, felt, a pulse. There had been a dramatic shift in the enviroment. Ray was sometimes too atune to his surroundings; being able to pick up on the flow of electrons, neutrons, and all of that was not exactly a walk in the park. But this had been dramatic. Now, he turned, looking up at the mansion. Something in his gut told him to walk back.
But when he had ran back up the drive,Magneto was there with kurt, Rogue, and Gambit, and then through Gambit to the side like he was a ragdoll. Ray Froze. His hand idly went to his torso, where beneath his clothing was a bandaged side and busted ribs. He'd learned his lesson when dealing with Lensherr's.
But Magneto didn't perturb him like Wanda did.
He kept quiet, eyes turning a brilliant blue, and knew the crackling of his fists lighting up with electricity would give away his position.

((Sorry its kinda long, but I had a couple different scenarios to respond to.))
"Argetina." Remy replied as they walked to the bike. "Checked deh bosses computah, and dat's one o' Mystique's hiding places." He explained and jumped slightly when the smell of brimstone reached them, accompanied by a fuzzy blue elf. Remy glance back at Rogue, and over at Nightcrawler with a small smile forming on his face. "A club, on a date." Remy announced, though his joke was short lived as Magneto dropped down.
Remy opened his mouth to say something in reply to Magneto's accusations but, given that it was Magneto, he was tossed to the wall before anything managed to make its way out of his mouth.
The Cajun glared up at Magneto, and without a second thought he reached up to both his shoulders and his chest. The metal shoulders pads and chest plate glowed as the kinetic energy filled them, and illuminated the angered expression on Remy's face for a split second before they blasted apart. Now he was left in the simple black, blue and red body uniform, knee length black boots, and his gloves. He had taken the liberty of buying boots while he was out in case of such an occasion.
"Sorry boss, Remy's got his own priorities." He quipped and ripped his gloves off, the metal rings around the wrists weren't much but with Magneto anything was possible. Now he was free of metal, and though Magneto had metal to use against them he wouldn't be tossing Remy around anymore. He was glad him and Rogue had made it to the bike before Magneto arrived, all this infront of the mansion would have woken someone up.
The Cajun tore a deck of cards from his pocket and raised an eyebrow at Magneto. "Now yoh mistaken, She's goin' wit' Remy and if yah wanna work dis out when he gets back, fihne. Try anyt'ing moh now and dis Cajun is done workin' foh yah."

"Alrighty then, Ah think that's our cue ta leave, right?" asked Rogue edging away from Magneto. She reached out and tugged at Remy's arm. "Argentina is waitin'..."
She glanced over at Kurt with a strained look in her eyes. "Go home, Kurt. Ah'll call ya as soon as Ah cahn. This is somethin' Ah've gotta do without ya."

Ray steadily backed away, intent on dissapearing in the woods. This was none of his business. Be damned if he got in the middle of it.
"Good luck, Rogue," he whispered, not knowing what she was up to, but if Magneto didn't wantit happening, it was certainly major.

Remy gave Magneto a strong look that made it obvious he was dead serious about quitting if Magneto further interfered. "Yah Cherie, dat's ouh cue." Remy replied in an angry tone, his eyes still on Magneto.
"Au revoir boss." He spat out the last word like poison and turned away from the bike. The bike was metal, and belonged to Magnto, Magneto didn't support this mission and Remy didn't want anything to do with him at the moment.
