That ain't what I want. Look- there's no need to be hostile, sugar, I'm one of you.

I'm usually the one going to people. Like "us." [ Lorna isn't convinced but it will prove itself in time. ]

You're gonna have to trust me on this one.

I'm with the X-Men.

[ She laughs once. It's absurd whether it's true or not. ] Lucky me!

Look- Lorna- can I call you that? My name's Rogue. Like I said, I'm with the X-men. And we've heard about the things you've been doing.

Hi, Rogue. My name's Polaris. [ "Lorna" won't fly yet. She crosses her arms and does another quick take of their surroundings; it seems to be just the two of them still. ] Why don't you tell me what it is I've been doing.

[notmarieanymore]

From what I can gather? You've been doing pretty damn amazing, working hard to protect people like us from the people that want to hurt us.

I think we could really accomplish a lot together.

[mutants]

And what exactly are you bringing to the table? You guys haven't exactly been competing with the Underground for headlines lately.

[notmarieanymore]

Well, money for one. Our resources. Training facilities, medical care, a safe environment.

[As much as they could really offer in these times.]

I know we went underground for a while, but we're back and stronger than ever. And we want ya'll at our side.
