Mimic and Kitty's plan works flawlessly, the scraps of the costume strategically covering Gladiator's naughty bits. Gladiator gets slightly embarrassed, and he starts to get weak. Gambit throws some charged cards, to stagger the weakening Gladiator.
"Now mon amis let's get this over with," said Gambit holds his staff by his side ready to strike if need be.

Kitty jumps off Juggernaut's back. She shies her eyes away from Gladiator's mostly naked form. She remains phased out. Lockheed blasts Gladiator's bare back with fire.
Juggernaut balls both fists and pounds straight down on Gladiator's shoulders. Juggernaut follows up with a couple more punches, staggering Gladiator. Juggernaut bellows, "You really know how to dress for a fight! When you're fighting the X-Men, that doesn't mean you have to get x-rated!"

Mimic prepares to finish Gladiator off. He looks to Betsy, who nods in understanding. Little more need be said here...
Mimic Actions:
1. Keep undermining Gladiator's confidence by telepathy.
2. Pound Gladiator with magnetic attacks.
3. Keep magnetic shields up.
Psylocke Actions:
1. Maintain shield around Gladiator's head.
2. Pound Gladiator with telekinetic strikes.
3. Keep TK shields up.

Gladiator falls and the simulation ends.
"So what now mon amis? I could use some food and a quick cat nap. Unless you wanna find Apocalypse now? If you want food I could head into Salem and get a few pizzas considering the mansion is destroyed," suggested Gambit.

Kitty smiles, "Pizza sounds great!" Lockheed growls in agreement.
Juggernaut says, "Juggernaut needs no food or sustenence. I'm unstoppable. And I want pepperoni and onions on mine. Make it 5!" he grins broadly.

"A workout always makes me hungry," Betsy agrees, smiling in satisfaction. "The rest of you coming?"
"Sure, I wouldn't mind," Cal says. "Count me in. Great work, guys. We can discuss options in the meantime."
Cal is satisfied with the results. They'd earned their pizza. And it wouldn't hurt to get to know his group better while they were at it...

"Well then let's hop in Logan's pickup mon amis. Juggernaut you'll have to sit in the bed," said Gambit.
The group headed to the underground garage and found it was relatively in-tact and hopped into Logan's spacious four-door truck. Gambit hotwired the truck as he didn't want to dig through the rubble of the mansion to find the keys. Then the team was off to Harry's Hideaway after they pressed buttons on their costumes that turned on an image inducer to make them look like they were wearing normal clothes, and made Lockheed look like a cat.
They made it to Harry's Hideaway, and the team ordered their food and waited for it to arrive...

Juggernaut asks, "Did you find out where the bums are so I can start smashing heads?"
Kitty rolls her eyes at Juggernaut, and sighs quietly, while petting the Lockheed cat, who surprisingly purrs.

Gambit got up from his meal and went to the bathroom, and let the group talk about previous battles and their battle plan. He does his business and looks down to wash his hands, a force field blocks off all exits suddenly and Gambit speaks, as he turned his communicator on transmit:
"Sinister,"
"Yes. We need to have a talk," said Sinister in his snake-like voice.
"You and I ain't exactly on speaking terms," said Gambit not looking behind him.
"I realize that but we have a mutual enemy, and I know his location. Most importantly, I'm willing to give it to you...for a price,"
"What price?" asked Gambit.
"Two mutants that I haven't been able to get samples from,"
"Which two?"
"I believe they are known as Sugar Man and the Dark Beast. I also need you to destroy the infinite plants as they are dangerously close to the enterances to my labs. Do that and I'll give you Apocalypse's location. If you decide to agree meet me here with the prisoners. I'll be waiting," said Sinister as he disappeared.
Gambit walked out of the restroom to hear what the team thinks...

(SPS - does Gambit come out and tell us about the bathroom visit? It's not quite clear whether he does.)

OoC: He had his communicator on so the rest of the team is technically eavesdropping on the conversation. So The rest of the team can react without Gambit telling them

Kitty frowns at the idea of turning over mutants just to get information, but she holds her tongue to hear what others say. She looks around the table expectantly.
Juggernaut asks, "Do we even need pasty face? I have no problems smashing heads to get what's needed. I could probably just take him out back and convince him the old fashion way." Juggernaut grins, then shoves a few more slices of pizza in his mouth.

Mimic finishes up a slice of pizza and turns to the others.
"I really don't like this," Mimic admits. "Dark Beast and Sugar Man aren't exactly the nicest people. I had a... friend who saw their handiwork up close. I won't feel bad about taking them down if we have to.
"But this is Sinister. Whatever he wants them for, bet it won't be good. He's got a plan for them. I don't trust him. On the other hand, I do trust that he'd want to stop Apocalypse. Sinister won't get his perfect mutant race if Apocalypse wins."
He listens to the others and then shakes his head.
"You can't take Sinister alone," he says to Juggernaut. "He's nearly as powerful as Apocalypse, and he has massive psi-powers on top of that. All he'd have to do is rip your helmet off, and you're done. And he can, with his strength. Brute force isn't going to be enough. Besides, Apocalypse is the real enemy right now."

Juggernaut skrews up his face looking like he's doing something distasteful. Something Mimic said made Juggernaut think, this was a strange event in its own right. Slowly Juggernaut speaks his thoughts.
"We have problems trusting Pale Boy (Sinister) and Big Lips (Appocalypse). We only saw three horsemen...what if Sinister is a horsemen? This then could be a big trap. Besides why'd he just approach the Bayou Boy (Gambit) instead of the entire group?
Juggernaut's eyes narrow and a smile plays across his face.
"Of course we could take him up on the offer and rearrange his face when he's not looking."

"I don't think Sinister is working for Apocalypse," Betsy says. "He's too powerful for Apocalypse to control, and too devious and treacherous to trust. Still, Cain's right about there being a missing Horseman. We can't step lightly."
"Sinister's probably playing his own game," Cal replies. "My guess is Sinister is trying to use us to take down Poccy for him. No matter who loses this fight, Sinister wins. And if he can profit off it, so much the better for him."
Cal nods at Juggernaut's suggestion. He'd been toying with the idea himself.
"We could play along, at least for now," Cal says. "Might not be a bad idea to find out what Dark Beast is up to, anyway. He's a mad scientist in his own right. Could be he's up to something Sinister wants to put a stop to. If we know what, we might be a step closer to figuring out what Sinister really wants."

"Did you ever think Dark Beast may be working for Apocalypse? It makes perfect sense. According to Xavier's files and the time Havok spent with the other Mccoy Dark Beast is from an alternate reality where Hank was Sinister's second in command. Maybe Apocalypse is protecting the Dark Beast from Sinister?" suggested Forge.
"As for Sinister appearing only to me. Him and I have a...connection because I met him at the turn of the century...long story, but since Scott isn't here he appeared to me. I guess he trusts me. But it surprised me that he didn't go for you Mimic, you being from another reality and all," said Gambit
"As for the fourth horseman I think Storm should be a top suspect, with her corpse missing. Though it would make sense that one of us could be it. Apocalypse would've needed to known what we were doing somehow," suggested Forge.
OoC: Gray give a hint when your ready to hit the first Infinite Plant.

"Dark Beast was an Apocalypse loyalist on his world," Mimic agrees with a nod. "So was Sugar Man. It had crossed my mind. It's possible that Apocalypse could be sheltering them in exchange for their services."
Then this dark thought hit Cal. He didn't like it, but he had to voice it.
"Which means Apocalypse has two people on his side who know alternate worlds," he says. "I can see one use he'd have for them. I couldn't detect Apocalypse or any of his captives even with Cerebro's global range. We may be facing the possibility that the captives may not even be on this planet. In which case, we need to find out where they are."
"Either way, we need to hit those Infinite plants," he concludes. "I'm thinking of starting with the Pacific Ocean plant, since they seem to have the softest opposition. Deadpool is a threat, but the others should be well within our limits. The sooner we can take them out, the better, then move on."
Cal patiently looks to the others for a response...

Juggernaut chuckles, "I'm sure when he sees me, he'll be happy to give me a hand. After all, the last time I saw him, I did take one of his hands."
Kitty rolls her eyes at Juggernaut's bad joke, "Let's get going so I don't have to listen to anymore outa him." Lockheed hisses at Juggernaut.

"Pacific Ocean sounds good to me Mes Amis," replied Gambit
"Same here," replied Forge
"We should get back to the mansion and hop on the Blackbird," said Gambit.
OOC:We will be heading into a combat situation soon so here are the enemies we will be facing in the Pacific:
Deadpool-augmented strength, speed, agility, endurance, and reflexes, regeneration factor, cursed immortality, personal teleportation unit
Random-Entire body is composed of a morphing protoplasm which can remold itself to alter his physical dimensions in order to increase his physical size and strength to some degree, shape his forearms into projectile cannons that fire ammunition made of hardened protoplasm from his own cells, and assume a gelatinous state in which he can flow between tight crevices or collapse into a formless puddle. Utilizes the adaptability of his body to negate and reflect any mutant ability or other force directed at him.
Senyaka-Drains the life-force from others upon physical contact, increasing his natural strength, endurance, reflexes, and healing powers enough to bring his body back from certain death. He can manipulate his excess of life-force to form psionic whips out of bio-electric energy which can channel his absorption ability, ignite nerve clusters to cause pain or paralysis and sear into the flesh of others.
Katu-A 'living satellite dish', able to siphon off a portion of the Earth’s electromagnetic field, converting it into discharges of destructive force while creating a vacuum in the environment that causes inter-atmospheric anomalies, counteracting natural weather phenomena. His size and bionic arms suggest enhanced strength as well.
Barnacle-Initiate a chemical reaction that turns moisture into a solid shell, containing someone within a constrictive carapace, providing himself with an indestructible armor, and spraying through the air a stream of hardened barnacle crust.
Vindaloo-Produces a flammable gel from his pores that ignites upon contact with the atmosphere, which he can then direct as explosive releases of liquid napalm.

The Blackbird streaks toward the Pacific Ocean base arriving in minutes and the bases defenses are attacking. Deadpool is sitting on a balcony of sorts watching "Golden Girls" in his underwear.
"Ooh! Looks like I get to kill something! Better send the cannon fodder out first," said Deadpool aloud as he grabbed a communicator.
"Attention cannon fodder! Yeah I'm talking about you whip-man and crusty old dude, and friends! It's time for you to make a meaningless sacrifice in our lord Apocalypse's name. Yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. Would you believe he actually makes me say this?" said Deadpool into the communicator and grabs some pants, his katana, and the rest of his gear.
Vindaloo is the first to attack as he quickly uses his powers to bring down the Blackbird...
