[The video starts with her bare hand pulling away from the lens to reveal a woman in her young thirties sitting cross-legged on the edge of a high-rise building's roof. She's replacing her glove out of habit, and is otherwise covered from neck to toe. The stark white patch gives her identity away to anyone who may be from either her universe, or a similar one. At least, that's her hope.

She had debated whether to do this post via text or audio, but she's learned that hiding behind anonymity when trying to reach out to distrustful and likely persecuted people didn't tend to go over well. And this mutant Avenger wants this to go over well.

Clearing her throat, Rogue places her hands on either knee. Time to talk to the people and hopefully do right by Charles.]

Some of y'all might know me from home, or a similar alternate universe that's got the Avengers and people with strange and amazing powers. [She reaches up to tap her hair in an almost salute.] For those who don't, ah'm Rogue and back home ah'm known as the leader of the Avengers Unity Squad, a group of hero-types made up of humans, inhumans, and mutants put together by very one star spangled individual.

[The PR Squad trying to show the world that all the folks with superpowers could make nice and get along. Nevermind that Cap disbanded it for not coloring between the lines.

Without seemingly any effort, Rogue levitates above her concrete perch.]

That bein' said, before ah became an Avenger ah was part of the X-Men. [So mutant.] Back home we run a boarding school, helpin' those with powers learn how to control them and use them for good movin' forward. It a sanctuary, and ah'd like to organize somethin' like that here.

[Pushing her hair out of her face, she quieted a moment as though considering something else.
In the end, she chooses to simply smile and leave the threats for when she actually maybe has students to protect.]

Now don't feel you got to answer with video, or publicly. Ah get havin' a secret identity and truth be told ah might already know you back home without knowin' you here. [She shrugs. Tough cookies y'all.] It'll be weird, but in our line of work, weird is the baseline. Regardless, ah ain't gonna spill the beans, but feel free to take any non-aggressive preventative measures you want when contacting me.

[Or take aggressive measures. She doesn't appear worried about that option as she cuts the feed.]

[OOC | Apologies for the length of the post, but TL;DR Rogue is reaching out to Avengers, mutants/X-Men, and anyone with powers either wanting to help or wanting help. This is not just limited to mutants, but she is definitely looking for other mutants. Please reach out to me OOCly Schistto discuss any aggressive measures your character might take because I am definitely open to playing them out.]

Avengers, you said?

[Yeah, that got Tony's attention real quick.]

[ It's a young blonde woman, and her face is very close to the screen. ]

Are you a Jinn? Could you help me with my magic? Make it so that it can just do things without having to have a catch anymore?

[ Is that possible?! ]

Unity Squad? I like the sound of that.

[This is... actually nice news for once?]

Avengers Unity Squad? Jeez Louise, the team names keep getting worse. Steve come up with that one?

Avengers? [Wanda lifts an eyebrow, a curious but friendly expression on her face.]

I was recently one of those back in my universe, too. Before things got complicated.

I don't think there are enough X-Men here to pull together a whole boarding school.

Unless you brought the cavalry?

[voice; @hot.damn]

[circumitus]

[Hmmmm.]

So, what. You're planning on starting your own "Unity Squad" here, too? [There was never anything like that where Rey is from... though they probably could've benefited from it.]

Sanctuary, huh?

[It's a word that takes a little different meaning for Shalimar, but one that conveys the same sense of belonging. And while she hasn't felt too threatened here, she's also old enough and experienced enough to know she can handle things.

Back at the start, however...]

I gotta say, a boarding school would've been a better place than some of where I ended up as a kid. But sure, you need an extra pair of hands I know a thing or two about getting through to the scared and confused.

[Her manner isn't always the nicest, but she does her best with the patience she has.]

(Yeah, his username's not subtle.

He's wary, though, even though they've spoken at work, Brennan hasn't used his powers where others could see. It...wasn't smart back home, and here, well, he's still getting used to here. The idea of an organization, though, something familiar? That's enough to get his attention.)

So...I guess it's confession time...sort of. I just...our worlds are similar...I think, but...pretty different, too.

(He pauses for a moment.)

Can you tell me more about the X-Men? (Before I tell you about Mutant X?)

[Well, she had avoided saying directly who she was, what she was — but the temptation has been gripping her heart since the day in the elevator. So with that in mind... She supposes she should try to... make connections with her kind, wherever and whenever they may appear. After all, in her world there may very well be only mutants like the Transigen children left; if not that, then... there aren't enough mutants around anymore for it to be typical comfort.

She picks at the stray fabric on her jean jacket.]

I am one, too. I'm a mutant.

[She's not sure if Rogue figured as much, but she might as well just get it out there.]

My father was in the X-Men.

( What Clarice knows of the X-Men is decidedly complicated. )

you should talk to thunderbird.
he's been running a mutant underground back home.

( Like she hasn't been helping out ... but Clarice isn't good at accepting she's part of it too. )
