This world was entirely different from hers. The sky was clear and not murky from the ash. Bombs weren’t going off and she wasn’t being shot at.
She had no idea what she was doing. Cable had no right to ask her here. If he wanted this done, he should have just stayed. There was no way she’d find her mom and dad in the streets of New York City. It was full of lame business people, hot dog stands writhing with ecoli, and people just waiting for their lives to change.
Zipping up her jacket left from her mother, she wandered toward District X, or where it could be. She needed a burger and booze. No, her mom wouldn’t approve, but she wasn’t here…yet. Pulling a red lock of hair behind her ear, she smirked.
The bar was known as Ace o’ Trades and run by Gambit. Exactly what Logan had said. ‘Course he’d never tell her to actually go in…
The door opened quietly and she plopped onto the stool “Can I get a whiskey and a menu, please?” She confidently asked, pulling out her wallet. “Shit, I don’t suppose you accept credits, here do ya?” She asked before pulling out a small computer full of credit from her future world

Pyro was drinking his sorrows away. It wasn't the best thing he could do and he knew that, but right now Losing Skye. She was the love of his life and now she should have done something...he should have done more to save her. Maybe there was something he could do? Go back in time? If anyone it should have been him. And their daughter? What was he going to do about raising her? It was just too much for him right now. She had kept him grounded and he knew that. He was his own person no one should be alone. He was her rock and she was his...and now she was gone. He looked up to hear a young woman's voice talking about credits as if she was from the fifth element. He giggled a little bit as he looked at her with a grin. He had needed that. He looked to her and said " Hey Lee Loo where did you come from?" he asked continuing to grin. It would give him a much-needed break from his grief and emptiness.

Remy came back from the stock room with his arms full with a box containing various bottles of liquors. He nodded his head to Pyro as he was here quite often since the death of Skye. He felt for the poor guy. He knew the pain of loss from the various dames.
He set the box down as he noticed who Pyro was talking to. It was good to see him flirting a little bit. Remy started to put the various bottles away as he looked between the two of them. He looked at the young woman as his eyebrows knitted together.
"Well credit cards are always welcomed here. And one whiskey and menu coming right up."
He pulled out a glass and some ice. He filled it with the caramel liquid as he handed it to her and the paper menu. "Just let me know when you are ready to order, missy."
He turned his attention to Pyro, "How ya holding up?"

Rouge went to the Ace of Spades to look for Remy. Ever since the march things seemed different all around. Not that the future had been certain in the first place, but now what happened was pretty much impossible to predict. It was a scary world to live in. It would be nice to talk to a friend. She saw he was speaking to Pyro. Though she never spoke with the man and they were on opposite sides, she sympathized with his loss. And she may disagree with their methods but certainly not all of their reasons. She sat at the bar and observed the rest of the bar as she had a drink.

John hoped Gambit didn't think she was hitting on the poor girl. He for once was trying to be pleasant as the idea of "credits" amused him more than he had been able to be amused for quite a while. Or at least the idea of calling a credit card "credits" was amusing. He still also hadn't really looked that intently at the girl's face. Something seemed familiar about the girl, but he couldn't place it. He shrugged and hoped he could get a smirk out of the new person at least. He nodded at Gambit and said "I'm trying. I need to. I know I need to get it together. I need to for her. Skye's sacrifice is meaningless if I leave her all alone." He knew Gambit would know he meant Olivia...his baby daughter. He needed to get out of this misery for her. He needed to do what he could to make sure Olivia was taken care of.

Remy nodded as John spoke of taking care of his baby girl. Family was important to a lot of people. He placed a hand on the shoulder of the man. "Grieve is hard for a lot of people. I get that. I think your heart is in the right place for your daughter. Just don't beat yourself up too much. It will get better as time goes on. I am here for ya with whatever you need."
He noticed that Rouge had come to the bar. He noticed that one of the other employees had gotten her order. He made his way over to her table as he smiled softly at her. "Everything to your liking, chérie?"

"Thank you, Remy" He said with a nod. He didn't know what else to say. He knew what he needed to do but right now it was difficult. He continued to sip his drink and see if the new young woman would say anything. He did hope she knew he wasn't hitting on her at all. He had found her...verbiage talking about credits amusing. He knew he would probably have to go home soon as well, and at least try not to think about his own grief for a little while. Perhaps even try to be somewhat glad that Olivia was alive and be the anchor to her memory he may need to smile again. At the very least he knew Skye would never want to see him this way.

Rouge couldn't help but smile when Remy came over to her. And she nodded "Always. And as always I'm glad to see you sugar. I see business is going well here?" she said looking around. It was always nice to just sit and enjoy a drink and meal with him. In here it didn't matter where you stood on the politics of the outside world. In here, you came to get away from that and just spend time with those that understood. She ordered her food and another drink. After it came and she was enjoying the food she finally decided to talk more as she had been hungry. She wiped food off of her face and asked Remy "Any interesting news? I know I haven't been able to come here in a few days. There have been odd people lurking around the mansion. Government people, asking Xavier questions. I can't say much beyond that because of closed doors and such but it has certainly been making people nervous." She stated as she shrugged and took another sip of her drink.
