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.

"After I've cut his hand off," Rose corrected Joey. The jealousy was sweet, in her opinion.

She frowned. "I'm all for getting rid of it and all the notes and back-ups and all," she said. "...You shoulda heard the guy talkin'. He lost his grandparents in Fargo..."

"Shit." Joey says, understand why this guy would want to take powers and give them out at the same time. "They're gonna use Fargo to justify every thing that happens to mutants for the next century."

"They'd use this on Cassidy and any other mutant they felt was a danger. First, they might start out on all the dangerous ones. Then, they'd use it on anybody they wanted." Joey says.

"And no matter how carefully they guard it, someone is gonna slip in here some day and steal it. Imagine if someone like Sinister got their hands on this, or the Purifiers? How long do you think it would be before there no more mutants, one way or the other?" Joey asks.

"It ain't good," she agreed. "Ain't good at all."

"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me," she quoted.

"I trust Nate," she went on, "but I don't trust nobody else here a lick. And this is gonna grow way outside his ability to control. We gotta get it before anyone else does."

Just when Joey thinks Rose can't surprise him anymore, she does something like quoting Niemoller and he's surprised all over again.

"Okay, so you and I agree on this. But what about everyone else?" Joey asks. "You think they'll be on board if we call the play to get rid of this cure and kill all the scientists involved?

Do you think everyone on this team has it in them to go that far if they need to? Summers made Frost the team lead for this one. We can see what she thinks, or we can make this decision, just the two of us." he says.

What, she can't know things?"

Rose frowned and held up a hand. "Slow down, cowboy. I didn't agree to killin' nobody yet. I've hurt a lot of people... bad, sometimes, but I've always been able to stop before it gets to it."

Never killed intentionally, anyway. She's not sure, truly, if people had died later because of injuries she'd dished out. She knew how to kill, easily. But with the hope that she would never have to.

"These guys ain't evil, Joey. They're just tryin' to do what they think is right and safe fer folks."

"I'm not suggesting takin' these guys out lightly, Rose." Joey says, cursing his big mouth.

"I know they're not evil, Rose...but if we just destroy their work, they still know how to duplicate it. They'll just get back on track and we'll be back in the same position in a few weeks or months from now." Joey surmises.

"I'd suggest holdin' 'em down and lettin' Tina wipe their brains, but if Nate is as good or better than she is, we're still in trouble." Joey says.

Rose's expression darkened as she took in all Joey said.

"It's a flippin' no-win situation," she growled. "This whole thing stinks. And I don't think Nate knows the whole story. He'd never sign off on pure cure... There's more to this than meets the eye."

"I don't know, Red. This whole place is Nate's baby, right? I'd be surprised if he doesn't know." Joey says.

"This really does suck, but we may have to call an audible soon. If anyone else knows about this, we're just waiting on the bad guys to come after us." Joey says.

Rose nodded. "I wanna to see it up close, before we go makin' any big decisions," she said. "But we're gonna have ta do somethin'."

"Okay, Babe. You see what you need to see, then we'll decide." he says, turning to face her.

"Can you stay for awhile? I miss you." he says, as he hasn't seen her since Xavier's. The time they've spent building these identities hasn't left time to do much else.

Rose put her arms around him and kissed him.

"I got some time," she said. She kissed him again. "Miss you too."

Joey gets up and leads her to the bedroom to get reacquainted.
