Where was Gambit? He had been gone a long time. Ever since particular events happened he had been gone. And if anyone did manage to see him, He would of been sure he wasn't recognized.

but then again, what other mutants would be following him in Maine?

He was on his way somewhere to fix something that had been done to him recently. As far as absences go, his was a lot longer then usual.

He was going to continue onwards, and keep his silence. Better to protect the rest from the possibility he was to become.

[Gambit's Currently MIA. Due to both my computer in the shop and a storyline with Apoc. If you really want to see where Gambit is, profiles would be best. At this point in time "The Thunder God Thor" 's profile would be best. ]
