Some Call Me the Gangster of Love
With the fake backgrounds and IDs Summers and the rest of the crew, getting into Providence (Rose and Tina inserted in one group, Chris and Annie inserted in another, and Joey with his own plan) as part of differing immigrant groups had proven surprisingly easy.  Fake IDs listed them all as a little bit older than they were, but not impossibly so.  They'd passed the background checks, taken aptitude tests, and been given various placements within Providence society.

Per the initial meeting outline, they'd purposefully avoided each other for the first three days on the island itself.  Now, however, it was time to meet.

Rose--whose fake ID identified her as Elizabeth Howlett--sat down on the park bench that was X-Force's rendezvous point.  She took a long sniff, breathing in the air.  It was cleaner than back in the states, clean like the wilderness.  Whatever Nate was up to here... it sure seemed to her like he was doing something right.

There was a girl with dyed green hair waiting near the stage when Chris left it. "That was... wow!" she bubbled.

Rose approached the young scientist, keeping her walk confident but not the somewhat predatory way she usually moved.

She sipped her coffee to give herself a pause. "Um... hi?"

Brad Simmons looks up from his own coffee and blinks.

Was she talking to him? His smile brightens a bit.

"Hi. Hey...aren't you the new aerobics teacher?" Brad asks. He's a little overweight, and she's probably seen him around the gym she's been teaching at.

"Do you wanna sit down?" he asks, getting up to pull out a chair for her.

"Thanks," Rose said, as she sat.

She sipped her coffee again before she answered. "Uh-huh," she replied. "I just moved here this week. It's all been pretty overwhelming."

She looked down, made an effort to look nervous. "Oh, jeeze, I'm sorry. I'm Elizabeth."

Brad smiles again, trying to remember not to stare. There's something exotic about this woman, something he wouldn't mind getting to know more about.

"Hi, Elizabeth. I'm Bradley Simmons. I'm one of the lead Research & Development scientists here on Providence." he says.

"I know it can be overwhelming, trust me. We were a little worried when the Boss told us his dream, but he's followed through on every promise he's made so far. How do you like it?" he asks.

Rose can easily smell the slight changes in scent a body gives off when it's attracted. Her free hand played with her "hair" a little. She couldn't wait to chop this off.

"Nice to meet you, Brad," she said. "Wow. I'd never have... I mean, you're so young!"

"It's beautiful here, practically paradise."

"Well, I've been paying my dues. Did five years at UC Berkeley and went into the Army as an office. Did four years there and now I'm here. I just want to help people, and there are a lot of unfortunate mutants with powers they can't control." Brad says.

"The work we do here changes lives, Elizabeth, and each person has a place, be they mutant or human. We've already had several success stories, and hopefully, we can help prevent tragedies like the one in Fargo, Georgia." Brad says sadly.

"I lost my grandparents in that." he says.

It was an extremely good thing Rose had already trained herself not to swear (her mom insisted), because mission mind-set or not, she might have otherwise. Guilt that they hadn't been able to do more for Fargo touched her mind, and brought Cassidy back to the forefront.

In her heart, she didn't truly hold the kid any malice... but it was hard sometimes.

"I saw that on the news," she said. "I... I'm sorry, Brad."

"But it works? The x-gene thing everyone's talking about?"

"You didn't do it, Elizabeth. I just wish the whole thing didn't happen in the first place." Brad says.

"But our gene therapy program does work. In over 200 trials, we're at a 99.5% success rate. We can help those who don't want to be burdened by abilities they can't control live normal lives." Brad says, taking a sip of his coffee and enjoying the music.

"We're also in talks with various governments to provide a limited amount of the therapy to prisons where mutant criminals are being housed. People who use their powers to kill and hurt others can be safely neutralized and held." Brad says.

Something in his expression is a little off in that statement, if Rose is of a mind to pick up on it.

Rose is an observant girl, and picks up on what's off there. Like Cassidy, she thought, completing the thought for him. She was inclined to be on the kid's side out of basic species loyalty here.

"That's good," she said, keeping her disgust from showing. "I heard... I think I heard someone say it can work the other way too? You can make people into mutants?"

"Well, there's nothing stopping the reverse from being true, I guess. Officially, though, we aren't dealing in that." Brad says, a smug smile on his face.

He looks at Rose intently, as if he's waiting for her to ask him to continue.

"Elizabeth" rose to the bait.

"And... unofficially?" she asked. It was more of a Rose question than an Elizabeth one, but she figured it would still work. Especially with the little bit of flirty look she was throwing his way.

Brad looks like a kid at Christmas time as Elizabeth looked at him.

He points at a small sugar container across the room jerks his finger to the left.

It slides off the counter and falls to the ground. Brad looks pleased with himself as he looks back at Elizabeth.

"Unofficially, I was a regular guy last week. Now, I'm a telekinetic." Brad grins.

"Uh... thanks." Chris is caught a little off-guard.

"Nice dye job." She manages a smile. Girl's cute too.

Chris pauses, then tilts her head carefully.

"Seriously? I mean... I've heard rumors, but... they can make it that specific? The x-gene therapy, right?"

"Wow.." She plays up the awe, then smiles at the girl.

"How about I buy you a drink and you tell me more?" She extends her hand. "I'm Greer."

Vicky shrugged. "I don't know about that. I just want to be able to fly or something."
