Where: Sub-basement
When: Tuesday Evening
Rating: Timid
Status: Complete


Remy had been bored out of his mind. It really was a losing battle here and even he saw it. Two weeks without pulling something? Yeah, not going to happen. So what was the most obvious thing he was going to go for? Security. Always security. He needed a good challenge, and since the moment he had been here he had literally been scoping it out. Well, he had been trying anyway. It was hard when people seemed to like to watch your movements, regardless of what they were. That also didn't mean that he hadn't made a few lewd comments regarding being watched so closely either. But that wasn't the issue right now.

Right now he was going to see just how far he could get with what information he had. It was perfect timing, regardless of what he currently knew about the system. There seemed to be some new folks that arrived and all the chatter seemed to be on that. Most eyes being off him, how could he say no to temptation? It wasn't like he was really up to no good. He wasn't looking to hurt anyone or do anything to the place. It was just something that was becoming of him, to say the least.

And it wasn't that he wasn't thankful for actually being able to actually commit to doing a few things as it was. 'Training' with Raven and fixing that car with Lorna, only to go blow up a few things. Yeah, he had been having a little fun, besides flirting with women. Mostly. Okay so he did a little more then that too, but that was pretty much expected by anyone that knew him. So, figuring he would try out the weight room and the pool in the basement level, he went looking for a possible point of entry. More gossip and curiosity over whoever showed up here meant less use right? Or that was what he was going off of. And any snooping he did, he did his best to cover up just what he was up to.

Finally finding himself alone, Remy was excited to have found his entry, as he unscrewed the small cover and hopped up and into the small hole that was barely large enough to hold his frame, quickly replacing the cover, he had only wished he hadn't been a little wet from having used the pool and really wished he had his shirt on, but there wasn't time for all of that. Who knew what kind of slim window he had? Finding that his little hole only seemed to go in one direction, he found himself a bit curious when he found the only exit had a few wires attached to it. Well that was interesting. It didn't help that as he was looking at the wires and trying to find himself a way out of this without getting caught, only to find something very wrong. His little porthole suddenly vibrating, as if unable to hold his weight, sent him straight through. He was barely able to catch himself with his foot, or at least that is what he would claim. Truth be told, some of those wires had found themselves caught around his ankle.

Hanging upside down, he groaned only to wonder if he had tripped the alarm. Reaching for his foot while hanging upside down, he tried to loosen the hold on his foot as to attempt to get down before someone found him.

Yeah, well, Lorna couldn't be certain how sincere Remy was being. "No, not really," she admitted. "Especially when I am not being smart."

If she were smart, she'd have left the smarmy Cajun to his fate. Let Jarvis take care of him or taken him to Ororo for breaking the rules. But no, she had to be be nice to him and let him take advantage of her soft spot. Dammit.

She ignored the comment about needing someone to vent to. Remy had no idea. She was still avoiding Kurt, still avoiding Bobby and still avoiding Jean-Paul for the whole incredible sin of mentioning Scott's name. Because she was tired of hurting people accidentally trying to help. Apparently at least Remy wasn't so easy to break. Might be his only selling point, but it was a big one after alienating so many of her friends over one stupid comment.

Well, at least he was looking forward to showing off for her. Although Lorna was very sure he was just looking forward to showing off period. Good enough for now.

Lorna was surprised when he admitted to actually reading up on her specialty. What the hell? The man just did not make any damned sense.

Sighing and shaking her head at herself, Lorna turned around and headed back down to the sub basement. What was the saying? No good deed goes unpunished? Yeah. That.

Now all she needed was Ororo to find out and ream her. That would just be the perfect ending to this.
