Gambit knew his sharp-mentor (Professor X) thought of him as a good recruit/pupil for the established Institute for gifted mutants. The Institute represented antiterrorism and 'proper' use/application of extra-human powers, and Gambit, acrobat/telepath, hoped to offer the good Professor some sharp languages of fencing for capitalism 'ethos' confidence in the face of his once-friend and now-rival (and adversary!) Magneto, manipulator of bad magnetism (wow). Gambit considered himself (therefore) his own Selfie age defender (for everyday thought/storytelling).



MAGNETO: That idealist Professor makes 'mark' of that Institute as a liberty-symbol.
TOAD: Damn...well, we've our own 'legion' (now!) of mutants of bad language, lord.
MAGNETO: Maybe we make some acid/erosion imagery at Ellis Island (immigration).
TOAD: The 'new' TrumpUSA has marks of American Homeland commerce watercolor.
MAGNETO: Good...we'll forge some hideous bridge of paranoia for world-hostels!
TOAD: Selfie-like (for leviathan/uncertainty).



Gambit parked himself at an American Homeland 'hostel' (Inn Express) where lounge-TV for 'view' of sportsmanship (football!) hospitality culture on any given Sunday prompted Earth world infrastructure standards and comfort(s) for things of mod-world woes and 'troubles' (e.g., piracy, terrorism, malady, jitters). Gambit wondered if Magneto's evil-mutant minion recruit (the Toad) would find tracks to make the Inn Express a stalemate-fear(s) of things dark (or jagged).



PROFESSOR-X: Good work, my friend.
GAMBIT: Toad tracked me to the hostel, sir (damn!).
PROFESSOR-X: Good thinking to use your 'magic' baton for mind/muscle for art!
GAMBIT: The Earth (and the American Homeland) offers smoke for smokers, sir, ok.
PROFESSOR-X: Well, our fine Institute for gifted mutants has mark of history now.
GAMBIT: Maybe it's Earth...Earth's jagged (cool).
