The mutant known simply as Rebel in the current time stood alone at the statue. In her left hand she held a bouquet of flowers, and in the right she held a small plaque. "Well Professor.." she started to say. "Ah ain't realleh suppose t' beh n da grounds at dis moment, infact ah shouldn't even beh in dis tahme." she said and let out a sigh.
"Ah jus' came beh t' realleh give y' da flowahs.." she said kneeling down and putting them on the grave. "An' dis..well..dis is in memory of da people dat were los' in meh tahme...mos' of da names are x-men, includin meh Mama an' Papa. Din..da othahs onleh realleh ah wold know, but..ah mean dey were da next generation, lahke ah am. Weh were da children of the X-men. Ah gave dat name up long ago t'ough...afta ah was branded, aftah ah became Rebel. Ah 'aven't been Desiree Marie LeBeau f'r 6 years"
"Ah guess ah came 'ere as closure. Ah lost everehbodeh professor..ah lost meh family, meh freinds, Izzy an' James..dey stayed wit meh, dey're da reason ah am alive, an...dey made meh run..dey told meh t' come t' dis tahme. Ah come 'ere an' everyt'ing so much betta.." she said dropping to her knees. "Ah don know what t' do. Ah am 18 years old, in a tahme where nobodeh knows meh, ah don' know what t' do..Ah can't stay 'ere..ah jus' can't.."
Rebel brushed her hair out of her red on black eyes. The white bangs she had fell right back into her face as she leaned her head down. "Why can't y' be 'ere. Ah could talk t' y'..ah could tell y' every'tin' "

Gambit had walked up behind Rebel and only thing he heard was the last words he spoke... She hadn't noticed him walk up and was unsure if he should speak, afraid to scare her.... but he figured if he didn't say wnything then she might be more wierded out.. He then spoke softly to her.... "ya know chere'... weh all miss da Professor an wish 'e were 'ere right now.... we all got so many problems dat his input and knowledge woulld beh greatly appreciated....." he stopped momentarily....
"But alas.... he is gone for good an weh are left ta take care of ourselves... good thing we got so many people 'ere ta help out one another...." He then looked down at her, "if ya evah need ta talk, ah or one of the other senior X-men always gots our doors open for ya..... even though we ain't no Xavier..."

Desiree whirled around hearing the voice. Her eyes widened and she froze. It was the face she was afraid to see and that had been the person who had encountered. Her red on black eyes looked straight into his and she backed up slightly. "Ah'm sorreh M'sieur.." she told himd brushing her hair way form her face. "Ah..was jus' payin meh respects.." She said. "Ah've been livin wit'out 'is 'elp f'r lot longa din y' tink M'sieur"

"it beh ok ta come out 'ere and pay ya respects... dat is what it is 'ere for.... and ah got no doubts in mah mind 'bout ya hav'n ta beh witout help for a long time..."
He smiled and sat down next to her... He didn't seem to notice her eyes, or just decided not to mention it. He did seem to notice her accent and proceeded to ask, "So were ya from lil one? Ah notice ya got a lil bit of an accent goin' dere....."

"Ah'm a babeh of da south" Desiree said. "Ah lived in Mississippi f'r 7 years. Din ah lived in Louisiana...and din ah went t'rough a tahme where ah was in da north. Ah moved back down t' Louisiana and been dere since. Until now" She said looking at the statue. "What 'bout y'?" she questioned playing along just to try and fit in.
She glanced at her watch for a moment before looking around. She seemed to be getting anxious about something. It was really nothing big, just as it was getting darker she was becoming more antsy. She wasn't used to being out so late at night. Though it was not yet dark, the sun was starting to set.

Desiree looked at him straight in the eyes. "Non...atleas' ah 'ope not" she said simply and looked down, hugged the jacket she had on close to her. "M'sieur..dere lotta stuff dat 'appen...dat ah can't realleh talk bout...ah jus'..ah wish ah could but..ah ain't suppose t'.."
"Where ah'm from, mutants are not allowed t' beh out afta dark, if ya are..ya shot an' killed" she told him. "Or y' 'ave a worse fate.." she shhok her head a moment. "Would dere beh room for a stray M'sieur...ah promise not t' cause no trouble da bes' t' meh 'bility.." a small smile formed on her face. "Ah seem t' feel realleh safe 'ere.."

"Dat all sounds horrible lil one....

Dis a pretty big place for da most part wit a lot of people 'bout and who knows ya actually might like it 'ere..."
He paused for a moment and then started to look back towards the mansion, "actually, hav' ya even seen dis place yet or did ya jus' come 'ere to the memorial?"

Desiree was silent for a moment not knowing what to tell him. She could say she had been there before, but then epople who knew she wasn't would say something. But she had been there and if she said she hadn't..she would be lying, and then he would think that she hadn't ever been there yet she would know her way around. "Umm, non..never been 'ere.." she whispered, telling the lie.
She brushed the white bangs out of her face and slipped on a pair of sunglasses over her red eyes, to keep anyone else from seeing them. "Will..y' show meh 'round?"

Ah t'ink dis would beh a good tahme t' go in" she told him as she shivered slightly and pulled the jacket even closer. As she stepped away from the memorial she looked back with a slight smile and mouthed 'thank you'
