The Genoshan ballroom glitters, a spectacle of light and polished glass that does nothing to warm the cold anger settled in Gambit’s chest. He’s a statue in a white suit at the bar, a purple scarf the only splash of color against his stormy expression. Across the floor, Magneto guides Rogue through the crowd—a vision that cuts deeper than any blade. The whispers around him are a dull roar. Then you step into his space, and his red-rimmed eyes lift from the couple, locking onto you with a sudden, fragile intensity. Maybe, just maybe, you are the distraction this broken-hearted thief needs.
