When: Evening, Friday, February 1
Where: Pure, a mutants-only nightclub in southern Westchester
What: In the reign of Magneto, the only clubs that are publicly open are mutant clubs. Unfortunately for MJ, she's not a mutant... but Kim has a great way of getting around that idea.

These days, they kept a bouncer at the door who was checking mutant powers. Sapien interference was a scary thing, especially with the Friends of Humanity causing trouble. Another club had been destroyed a month back with a sapien suicide bomber going in and blowing himself up. They didn't want any of those fuckers coming in.

MJ really felt kind of guilty about doing this. It was deceptive and she was concerned about being caught, but... if she really needed a night of dancing that badly, she had to be willing to take a few risks. She was all dolled up in a dress she hadn't worn in forever, a glittery silver number that was probably just a little too sexy for a young mother. The knee-high black boots were surprisingly pinchy and needed to be worn-in again. Peter probably would have died if he saw her in such an outfit. He put her up on this pedestal, thinking of her as the sweet girl-next-door ... and.. he knew better than to do that. MJ had grown up with a party-girl persona that often got her into a lot of trouble. So sue her, she was tired of being wholesome tonight. She wanted to break the rules, and if that meant sneaking into an all-mutant bar and dancing until dawn... then fine. Peter had May for the night and MJ needed to let loose before she exploded.

"Oh, God!" MJ shrieked, tumbling onto the bathroom floor as Kimberly turned over her purse and shook MJ out of it. "That is so weird, Kim. That is so weird." But... it had gotten her inside the club. Pulling herself to her feet, she mussed her hair in the mirror, checked her lipstick.

"All right. I'm set. Let's do this thing."

Who: Bennet, Remy, and OPEN.
Where: Xavier's school - Roof (and eventually elsewhere)
When: Feb 2, 2008 - early morning. (forward dated a couple hours)
What: Exodus was warned about Mirror by Remy. Mirror is now missing and in the clutches of Sinister. Since Exodus can't defeat Sinister in a fight, he directs his rage toward the cajun that he believes delivered her to Sinister.

The night's wind blowed steadily, pushing clouds over the large moon overhead. Exodus glided the winds, the tails of his battle coat, the one crafted for him by Mirror, billowing outward like twin leather wings. His powers carried him effortlessly, his mind and his eyes scanning the land below for his quarry. Psionic shields were in place, for within Xavier's below rested two telepaths who could hinder his plan. He did not want to anger either of them, though he could see no other way. He had to speak to the one codenamed Gambit. Only he, in Exodus' mind, knew Mirror's secret location. It was a break in logic. Nevermind the fact that Sinister would have certainly moved her to a different location. Nevermind that he wouldn't reveal that information, even to his subordinates. There was futility in Exodus' plan, and it tore at the sides and back of his mind like so many sharp needles. His subconsious thought was simple enough. He couldn't hurt Sinister, so hopefully he could hurt Remy in his place. It was part of his grand scheme to dismantle Sinister's work. Whether or not the cajun was actually involved with Sinister, or sincerely concerned for Mirror made no difference. There was little of Bennet's rational mind within the action. There was only Exodus for the time, and Gambit had been judged and found wanting. He turned Mirror over to Sinister, in Exodus' mind, whether true or not, and he was found undeserving the kingdom of Avalon... he deserved only pain, and Exodus intended to deliver, if he could not be useful.

Scanning below, he caught the briefest flash of a lighter and a wisp of smoke trailing upward. He hovered a bit lower. Black Box had provided the visuals that he needed, and the man smoking confirmed them. It was the man he had spoken with during his stay at Xavier's, however brief. Such was the way the world worked sometimes.
