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.

Chris has been doing a decent job of mingling. Understandably, the x-gene therapy is the talk of the... well, everywhere. And why wouldn't it be? Mutants, whether you're for or against them, represent a fundamental change in the global population. It's still all just chatter though, nothing that seems like a lead, and still no fresh scents on anyone familiar in the few brief shifts she's been able to pull off without being seen.

She hears her name called, and goes up to the stage, putting a cd into the player as she steps up to the mic.

Well...
Don't try to tell me
that you think you know where I belong
Don't try to tell me
That you've forgotten where I'm from
Don't try to tell me
That you have got what I want
Don't try to tell me
Cuz trust me, you've got me all wrong
Don't try to teach me
I'm better off being alone
Don't try to please me
Cuz I'm gonna do what I want

One day I'm gonna break out
Some day I'm gonna fly away
And you won't be able to catch me
when you fall so come on
I'm better off doing what I want

Don't try to tell me
Cuz I've forgotten all of your words
Don't try to tell me
I just found out that I've got the nerve
To go and be me
I'm better off being alone
I know, believe me
That I'm gonna do what I want
I'm better off doing what I want

Some day I'm gonna break out
One day I'm gonna fly away
And you won't be able to catch me
Be able to hold me back
Be able to reach for me
when you fall so come on, come on
I'm better off doing what I want

Don't try to please me
I'm better off being alone
I know, believe me
That I'm gonna do what I want, and

Some day I'm gonna break out
One day I'm gonna fly away
And you won't be able to catch me
Be able to hold me back
Be able to reach for me
when you fall so come on, come on

I'm better off doing what I want

Rose was far too professional to be checking her watch every five minutes to see if it was eleven pm yet. She knew it was early yet. Coffee. Bleah. What she'd really like was a beer, but the kind of girl Elizabeth Howlett was didn't drink. No, Elizabeth Howlett was a fitness nut (crafted into her identity to explain her extraordinary good health) who would never do such a think.

Even the danged coffee was decaff. She was reasonably certain Summers was pissing her off on purpose.

There. One of the scientists on the x-gene project. Young, but brilliant, if she remembered his dossier right. Dangit. She was going to have to flirt.

Anastasia was choosing not to mingle, for the moment. She sat at a coffee table, sipping on a latte, observing her surroundings.

A youngish guy approached Anastasia's table. His walk was a confident one, but the one of a guy very full of himself.

"Hey there," he said.

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?"

He was dressed casually, but a badge hung from his belt and identified him as part of the security team, science sector.

"I'm Mike," he said. "Mike Douglas. Don't think I've seen you here before."
