"Dat is where yah come in, cherie." Remy said with a smirk. "Remy figures if yah had her in yer head once..." He trailed off and rethought his words. "Remy's not askin' yah tah relive her life or anyt'ing, jus... maybe find out wheh she migh' be hidin'" He suggested with a shrug. It didn't seem like a plan Rogue would like. Going through Mystique's thoughts and memories might involve actually understanding the other woman a bit... Plus she'd have all the thoughts swarming in her brain even after the effects wore off.
"O' we could search every house and street in hopes ah findin' 'er." The Cajun added with a look that hinted he found that option unreasonable.

"Ah guess Ah could try ta remember some of Mystique's...memories," agreed Rogue slowly. She didn't like the idea of sifting through the shape shifter's thoughts, but she could see the annoyance behind knocking on every single door, especially if Mystique was in disguise.
Taking a deep breath, Rogue closed her eyes and began to sift through all the thoughts in her head. After a while she began to concentrate on all the memories she had involving Mystique. There was the memory of being taken in by her, a few late night conversations at the boarding house, the day she found out Mystique had lied to her... the list went on until Rogue began to remember some of Mystique's own thoughts.
There was the memory of running and dropping a baby Kurt into the river...there was the memory of teaching Rogue how--Rogue shook her head, not wanting to relive her own past. Taking another deep breath the southerner concentrated on a house. It was a large house...one Rogue had never been to or had ever seen. A lot of trees surrounded it. There was a wall--a large stone wall that acted as a boundary for the large house. In fact, the more Rogue concentrated on it the more it resembled a mansion.
There were people inside the mansion. A family. A man, a woman, a boy, a girl. They were happy. They were rich...they didn't speak English. It sounded more like Spanish. There were three floors to the mansion, with more rooms than Rogue wanted to count. A library, a study, a kitchen, and a stairway leading down to the the kitchen. There was a mirror somewhere. It must have been on one of the floors, or in someone's room. Looking into it Rogue saw an unfamiliar face. A woman with dark hair, tanned skin...a uniformed dress.
Rogue opened her eyes, blinking in complete surprise. "Hey, Swamp Rat, are there any mansions in Cuyo? 'Cause Ah think Mystique might be pretendin' ta be a maid or somethin' at one of 'em. Ah don't know why since she hates all humans, so servin' some wouldn't make any sense...'cept Mags probably wouldn't look for her there."

Remy smiled in appreciation as Rogue opened her eyes again. He thought hard and sighed before shaking his head. "Prob'ly, Remy's never seen it... but if we start askin' around about a big house we're bound to run into a few..." He admitted and thought he could faintly hear a helicopter.
"Hold on tah yoh seat, Chere... We're bein' followed." The Cajun warned and then floored the jeep.
((I g2g, but I figure we can start another thread in Cuyo or something))

Rogue glanced in the side mirror and grimaced. "Ah'm startin' ta think maybe they really do wanna buy ya off of meh ta fight those wild cats, Swamp Rat. Why else would they keep comin' after us? Unless we've made new friends," she quickly amended as she studied the helicopter following behind them.
As their own vehicle sped up Rogue began to wonder just how many car chases Remy had been in before. He seemed much to comfortable in the driver seat, and he acted as though he was very much in control of the situation, which was fine by her seeing as how they seemed to be putting a fair amount of distance between themselves and the helicopter behind them.
"How many more times d'ya think they're gonna go after us?"
(A new post is fine by me.)
