I would love the following line (PSL, but the potential to take it to a game if you're up for that) for a movie!Days of Future Past Rogue (under the cut for spoilers):
Looking for either a Pyro or a Gambit tweaked to fit into the future dystopia we see in Days of Future Past. As for Rogue, she's taken from the Rogue Cut, with some made-up backstory.
When Trask, the government, and a bunch of metal robots attacked and took over the Institute to use it as an experimentation facility, Rogue was one of the mutants captured. The whole thing was a place to experiment on mutants, finding ways to utilize their powers to help the government develop weaponry and tools to get rid of mutants... or at least depower them. So she was there for Day One of experiments.
Initially, she wasn't hooked up to a neural suppressor (or whatever was on her head?) and locked up inside Cerebro. At first, she was just like the other mutant prisoners: stripped of her powers by a power-nullification collar and kept in a run-of-the-mill prison cell.
I'd really love to have a line where another mutant was in a cell next to her, where they helped keep each other sane via talking through an air vent or something. I really like the idea of a Pyro, because they obviously knew each other before and have some major issues (hello, setting fire to the Cure Center anyone?) to work through. And I'm all about chatter that's like "I don't want to talk to you but you're literally the only thing keeping me together in here" and/or lots of snark. But I'm also open to discussing a Gambit for this line.
Obviously, at some point Rogue is removed from her cell, which is where we can go AU with this for some sort of breakout and aftermath. I have some ideas for how that would work, but I love to brainstorm and plot so... yeah. If there's any interest, talk to me, I'd love to chat and hopefully work out a line!
