Negasonic has posed:
Ellie is still in her medical lab bed, still connected to beeping instruments, and pipes, and what not. She still doesn't like it one bit. One major improvement, however, is she got her phone back. She's connected to the world that matters, twitter and social media. Hurray for that.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue was told to bring some stuff in for Ellie, food and a few other things. The Belle is new to the X-Men, doesn't even have her own uniform yet. So when she strides in through the med lab doors she's wearing a blue and gold jumpsuit zipped up to mid-chest leaving a tantalizing amount of dangerous Rogue-skin visible up to her throat (She's young and a bit scandalous at this age). In her gloved hands is a silver tray and she carries it easily whilst whistling a tune. When she spots the girl in the bed, Rogue cracks a big grin. "Well hey there, Sugah-plum. Someone's awake." She states in that thick thick thick southern girl voice of hers. "Brought ya some treats'n goodies."

Negasonic has posed:
Ellie has her eyes focused on her phone, the fact this place is new, and she still wasn't entirely sure she wasn't going to be tested or used in nefarious trials, helped her want to keep aware of her surrounding. So upon hearing a sound, she looks up, just in time to see Rogue walking in with a tray. "Not Sugar-Plum, that's for sure," she corrects with a very deep frown. "But I am awake, and I could use some goodies...not drugged, right?" She just had to ask.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue sets the tray down with a grin at the 'not sugar plum' part of the response. At the drugged question, the Belle just flashes a grin and snorts a little laugh. "Shit, I wish. I might hang out with ya down here if this stuff was properly drugged up." She turns then and offers Ellie a bag, its a Subway sandwich. "Got this, its turkey'n'cheese'stuff. Plus this." She raises up a lid-covered cup. "Cheesey brocoli soup. This stuff is /good/." Along with it she offers a spoon in a plastic wrap. "Also got you a... ipad thing, tablet?" She stares down at it. "Microsoft. I don't know. Whatever. Somethin' to type on bigger than that phone. Heard you were a techie fan."

Negasonic has posed:
"Seriously...?" Ellie is caught off guard by the reply, but if anything, seems more intrigued by it than freaked out. "So, you're clearly a good guy, is this place really safe?" She just had to ask, "nobody is going to put me through some Mutate Bonding bullshit?" She has her reasons to be scared. She takes the tray to set in her lap, before her eyes grow wide, "surface go tablet? Heck yeah!" She certainly seem to brighten at that, "what gives? Did I win the lottery or something? Or is this a consulation for my whole fucking country being killed?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue settles her butt down on a stool (likely Hank's stool) and then just places her hands on her thighs after handing the items over to the younger girl. She shows a sly grin at her, and at the questions she raises her dark eyebrows up a bit. "This place?" She asks. "Its nerdsville." She whispers that part and smiles quickly again before swiping that weird snow-white colored bangs out of her face with one gloved hand. "I've only been here a month or so. Truth be told, I thought this place was some kinda cult at first. But the guy I showed up with swore by'em, and he told me this place would do me good. And... month in, he's right. I've been livin' on the streets for two whole years, but here? I got a nice soft bed, warm as hell with a fire place in my room. Free food, and well, lots'a other things. I'm... sad to say, think I'm gettin' hooked. No Mutant Bondage stuff at all." She may have mis-heard Ellie a bit there.

Negasonic has posed:
"Nerdsville...?" Ellie quirks a brow, mulling it over, before deciding it sounds safe enough. There's something incredibly normalizing about a place being called nerdsville. It's so much better than 'concentration camp', 'mutant re-education center' and their ilk. "Hey...so you're new like me? And they let you walk free, no collar? That's promising!" Ellie blinks at the mention of Rogue being homeless, "wait...you were out on your own, on the streets? How the fuck did you get by?" The concept is pretty alarming to her. She'd need a place to charge her phone, how do you do that on the streets?

Being told there's no mutant bondage stuff, Ellie simply assumes Rogue meant prison, so isn't quite rattled by the thought. She just reaches to start eating her meal, "so what's your name? I assume not Sugar Plum?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had to be at X-Men 'Practice' a little later, which is why she's got the jumpsuit on, but she's primed for it so she's got the stool going back and forth a bit while she listens to the younger one on the med bed in front of her. She shakes her head and laughs lightly. "Odd jobs, mostly. Though I bummed around with a nice family for awhile, till I accidentally flew their kid up inta the sky. I can... uh... fly, and I forgot about it and when they saw me freak out and almost drop their kid, they told me t'get lost. Which sucks cause they made the /best/ Mexican Food. After that, I just... hit the road for awhile, making my way north slowly."

Rogue turns to grab a soda bottle off of the tray too and offers it to Ellie as well. "I'm 'Rogue' by name. Anna-Marie is my real name, Rogue is my true name. True name is what they called it back in the Brotherhood." She pauses. "I was with the Brotherhood, with... Mystique. You heard'a Mystique?" She asks with a titl of her head. "She's... bad news, that one." The soda is a Dr. Pepper. "But yeah, hah, I'm 'free', no collar... wait. Collar? What kinda shit have /you/ been dealin' with, Missy?"

Negasonic has posed:
"Fly...damn, that's cool," Ellie offers, but she doesn't look as surprised as someone who never heard of powers might be. "I'm Negasonic Teenage Warhead," Ellie says with a grin, perfectly happy with 'mutant names' it seems. "I feel just like you about it...my given name is Ellie." She shakes her head at the mention of Mystique, "I'm not sure I have...not really, but I'm from Genosha, and well, we had Magneto as our king. He was the strongest mutant ever, and even he couldn't save us from the genocide. Humans are the worst."

She doesn't offer much about what she's been through, but the mention of Genosha should be enough, if Rogue knows what happened there before Magneto cleaned house.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue just grins lightly as she listens and shakes her head. "Careful now." She warns Ellie. "Girl with the name Warhead in it, as wild'a name as the rest've it is... I'm guessin' you can do a fair amount'a damage... Not /all/ humans are bad. Thats the kinda stuff Mystique wanted us t'believe in the Brotherhood. see, Magneto was one'a her pals. Far as I understand it, he helped her make the 'Brotherhood' as it were. Trust me though, for every asshole human ya meet, there's a whole gaggle'a good ones worth fightin' for too. So don't let the bad one's sway ya south on'em all. That's just gonna lead ya t'bein' a sour puss. And you don't strike me as the type, Nega... Sonic." Rogue leans forward then and whispers. "I'll spare ya from the Hedgehog jokes."

She leans back then, up straight with her legs crossing at the knees. "Why don't ya get healed up already and I'll take ya outta here, we can go inta Salem Center and meet my friend, Jubilee. She's workin' at the Burger Joint in town. We'll score some free fries from her, yeah?"

Negasonic has posed:
Ellie grins conspiratorily at Rogue, nodding along as Rogue muses about that fancy codename. "You got the gist of it, makes people think twice, as well they should! I'm not just some kid...I deserve respect." When Rogue makes the case for good humans, Ellie snorts, "humans are the one who put me in a collar and enslaved me since I was a kid...I don't buy anything those monsters are selling. Magneto was absolutely right in anything he ever said about them."

"Hedgehog...?" Ellie arches a brow, before shaking her head, "it's Negasonic, not just Sonic, although I can move fast!"

"Wait...burger joint? Can this Jubilee chick hook us up?" Ellie is already sold on the concept of American Burgers. "Let's do it!"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue just grins ear to ear at the other as she reacts to some of the stuff, not all of it, the Sonic stuff in particular. "I know, I know... really I get it. I've seen a lot of shit head humans in my day too. Stories I'd tell ya all about, but I can tell you're a bit too young for'em, and if I told them t'ya now, people'd find out and start flailin' their arms at me and I don't need that right now." She huffs out a laugh and a sigh at the same time. "Hell yeah we can score some ^free food from Jubes. Her manager has a thing for me, ya see. I just give him a little wink'n'smile, maybe a saucey little lean forward and shoulder shake... and he'll just load up a tray'a whatever we want." She might be embellishing some for the sake of fun conversation, but... she's got some skills in seduction too!

"You wanna get outta here and go see some movies too, we can do that also. But ya gotta heal up. As it so happens that Hedgehog has a movie in theaters right now, I already seen it once, but I missed most've it on account'a see'n it with a rather hot guy on my arm. I wouldn't mind givin' it a second chance if'n you wanted t'go. Though there's plenty'a good stuff we could see." The Belle reaches out then and softly hits Ellie's shoulder with the back of her fingers. "So eat your food, rest up, and when you're on your feet we can go roll around town together, yeah?"

Negasonic has posed:
Being an utter foreigner to getting stuff for playing a flirting game, Ellie seems to buy Rogue's stories, at least for the time being. "Cool, its' settled then, soon as I can stop being a freakin' cyborg, connected to all this shit, we're going for real American Burgers," Ellie smiles brightly at the prospect. That's actually something she's been dying to try, she saw some amazing instagrams of American burgers before. When Rogue once more mentions a hot guy in with her, Ellie murmurs, "you're really good at that guy game, aren't you? That's cool." She gives Rogue a thumbs up, and goes about finishing her meal, so she can play about with that tablet.

This place sure wasn't all bad, "thanks for coming to see me, Rogue, I'll hold you to those burgers!"

Rogue has posed:
There's a big grin as the Belle moves to stand up from her chair. "I'm good at /all/ games, Sugah." She states then, before pausing and smiling with a little shake of her head. "Negasonic, I mean. Forgive me!" As Rogue turns then to get a few more things in place on the tray, some cookies and chips and such she makes sure they're within arms reach of Ellie's bed.

"Now then, you come find me upstairs when you're outta here. We'll swap phone numbers and yeah, I think you'll like it here. We'll have some fun." She turns then and stuffs her hands into the pockets of the bomber jacket she has on over the blue and gold suit. "Bye now." She says back to the girl over her shoulder on the way out back where she'd come from.

Negasonic has posed:
"I forgive you, I get it by now you weren't trying to offend me," Ellie notes, her eyes largely on the tablet, as she swipes about its screen, looking quite mesmerized. "This thing is neat, thanks for bringing it to me." She nods at Rogue for good bye, too enthralled by her new device to really be more polite than that.
