“Oi Slim”
Scott summers,the leader of the X-Men,one of the many children of the atom,turns to his Cajun teammate,Remy.
“Yes Gambit”
Remy,the tall Cajun man with black in red eyes,lays on his leader’s lap and looks up at him curiously.
“How does yo power work? Like ah know its lasers,but like..what's da lazers really?”
Scott hummed,and he didn't know if he should fully explain it,for his power was a bit unique. Regardless,he told him anyway since he was curious.
“Well Remy,my lazers aren't exactly lazers, they’re interdimensional portals to a non-Einsteinian dimension filled with pure kinetic, concussive force.”
Remy paused and looked at Scott like he had five heads. There's no way,he's fucking with him. That's not possible.
“So you sayin dey come from a punch dimension or some shit?”
“Yes. Exactly”.
“Dats…Pretty Stupid”
“I think it's unique, Remy”
“Non. Non dats bullshit slim! Deres no way dat makes sense! Punch dimension?!”
“Yes Remy. Punch dimension. Otherworldly ability to fire atomic particles at our enemies. Are you not able to keep up?”
Scott,the bastard that he was,had a smirk on his face as the Cajun had a conniption in his bullshit power. He's going to tell him the actual explanation in a moment. He’s savoring the moment.
“Dats bullshit! How does dat make sense?! Ya got a whole world in yo eyeballs dat da world can't see? Dat why ya wear de glasses?!”
“Yes. It's forbidden knowledge. If anyone gazes into the eyes of Saurin,they’ll be blinded Remy. That's why they get hurt when I use my ability”.
“WHAT IN DE LORD OF DE RINGS BULLSHIT IS DAT EXPLANATION?!”
“An explanation that's accurate. Hank has my records Remy,he can back me up.”
“Mon dieu ah don't get paid N'ough fo dis”
“We don't get paid at all Remy”
“Exactly”
Gambit sighed in defeat. His brain hurt. But I suppose it made sense..sorta. They traveled time,they faught death (himself),They beat apocalypse and the other bag guys,so this was the least weirdest thing. Scott started to chuckle at his expression,causing the Cajun to scowl at him.
“What so funny,slim?”
“You,you dork. Did you really believe that?”
“We do bullshit fo breakfast,so oui.”
“You’re an idiot”
“Quoi? Whatcha talking bout Slim?”.
“I’m talking about believing my joke. I was fucking with you”
“AH KNEW IT!”
Scott bursts out laughing as Remy sat up and shook him. He should do this more often. It was hilarious to see his gears turn slowly. Few seconds later,he wasn't being shook by the other man,he settled down and leans back a bit on the couch
“Ok..the real answer this time Lebeau. My powers are laser based,as you know. Think of it like a prism of light,which heats up as it passes through my glasses. Said heat causes massive damage,causing things to ignite”
“So not a Lazer,but a streak of light?”
“Yes, essentially”
“Huh..dats neat.”
“Yes. It's neat”.
Silence passed the two of them. Gambit decided to text Tony the joke answer to get back af Scott. Moments later,both men heard rapid footsteps. The door gets kicked open,and the shorter brunette points at Scott out of breath,eyes wide as he shook a bit from the adrenaline.
“TH-THATS…SO STUPID!”
