Chapter 1: Early Morning Wakeup Call
…..Beep..Beep…..Be-SMASH!
Rogue grumbled as she swatted the alarm clock that was buzzing for the occupants of the room to wake up. She sunk deeper into her covers until the tips of her white bangs were the only things showing. She turned over and faced opposite of the clock, shifting her head deeper into her pillow.
"You know you're like going to have to get up Rogue," Kitty piped from the other side of the room. She was actually able to stumble out of bed and make it to their closet.
"Too early…." Rogue's voice came out in a muffle from the covers over her head. It was one of those somewhat normal mornings at the Mansion. Saturday morning, an early one at that, came quickly for the mutants and meant only two things, training session in the danger room and February break. After stumbling through her daily routine of freshening up, she followed Kitty out into the hall, shuffling slowly behind. The blinds from the windows were pulled high up, allowing the sunshine to seep through and illuminate the area. Kitty squinted her eyes from the intensity of the light and almost crashed into the person in front of her from the temporary blindness. As she stumbled back, she saw a blur of white that slowly focused onto a white waterfall of hair.
"Like sorry Ororo," Kitty yawned. Ororo was standing near the bathroom's closed oak door with Jean. Her white hair was a little disheveled and she looked as if she was going to fall over at any minute.
"It's o.k. I'm not that graceful in the morning either," Ororo said. She yawned and leaned on the wall by the door.
"We've actually got up at six thirty and still couldn't get into the bathroom before Kurt did….and his lovely singing," Jean sighed. The four girls stood there for a few seconds and honed in on the stifled voice that was coming through the shower and the door. It was no particular song that he was humming. It was just some random tune, a really awkward rock tune. They burst into a light chuckle when a high note shot out. "KURT! Hurry up in there!" Jean barked. A yelp and a few smashing noises were heard. There goes the soap and his dignity, thought Jean.
"Ach! I didn't know anyone vas out there! Hold on five seconds!" Kurt yelled.
"Yeah…. he won't be done for a while. Why don't you guys head down to breakfast, we'll meet up in a little bit," Ororo told them. Kitty and Rogue strolled down the stairs and chatted lightly as they entered the kitchen. As they entered, another X-man wandered in.
"Good morning!" Scott said cheerfully. He sat down at the table next to Logan and Piotr with his cereal bowl. The other two were silently staring at the breakfast and then grunted a hello.
"Someone's like grumpy," Kitty sang as she grabbed some toast and sat next to Piotr. He became amused at the sudden surge of energy Kitty had when moments before, she was like the walking dead.
"I am a little tired from the danger room session last night," Piotr mumbled. He rubbed his temples.
"So ah'm Ah," Rogue replied and sat near Kitty. "You know you're running us into the ground Scott."
"Oh quit your whining. Today's session is only going to be an hour," Scott quipped. "Besides, I wanted to get it done early to have the rest of the day off."
"Yeah, just make us keel over in the morning so that everyone will be out cold for the rest of the afternoon," Logan growled. "I'm surprised Jean can stand you."
"Hey!—" He was cut off by three others walking into the room.
"Surprised I can what?" Jean asked as she, Ororo, and Kurt settled at the table next to Rogue.
"I'm surprised you can last with Boy Scout over here. You're boyfriend's insane for scheduling so early," Logan answered. Jean flushed slightly at the term which made Ororo smirk.
"It's going to be so much fun," Rogue said sarcastically as she bit a piece of toast.
"Oh yes it is," Ororo added.
"You guys actually made it into the bathroom?" Kitty asked.
"Zey kicked me out," Kurt groaned. "Painfully."
"It was only a small zap through the key whole," Ororo chuckled. "There was no other way for us to get you out. By the way, where's Remy?"
"Who knows where the swamp rat is. He and Pyro are probably blowing up a shrub or something," Rogue stated with a role of her bright green eyes.
"Good morning mes amis!" Remy and John glided into the room with huge grins on their faces.
"Speak of the devil…." Jean laughed. Remy walked over to the table and was going to take a bite of Rogue's toast until she smacked his hand away.
"Are you not supposed to be outside with the recruits for training," Piotr added without even looking up at the Aussie.
"Ohh shoot you're right!" Pyro sped out of the room, managing to grab random pieces of food with him.
"Wierdo."
"He's probably going to bother Amara….and zen it's going to go downhill from there," Kurt sighed. He glanced outside to see the New Mutants running through an obstacle course. A dash of orange came into view as Pyro sprinted toward the group. "Zere he goes. Oh and here comes ze flames." John somehow was able to agitate Amara in less than five seconds.
"Well since you're all in here, the Danger Room session is an hour, like I said before, and the Professor wants to see us all afterwards," Scott explained. "I'm off to get ready." After the students finished their breakfast, they left the kitchen to get their uniforms on.
A few moments later…..
Jean, Colossus, and Gambit were sitting on one of the metal benches in the hallway of the subbasement. On the other side were Ororo, Kitty, and Rogue. Cyclops was standing by the Danger Room doors, leaning on the metal plated wall. Once Logan and Kurt came in, Scott began with the briefing. He unfolded his arms as he got off the wall and stood at his full height.
"Now, the task is to get from one end of the Danger Room to the other without getting shot at. Any questions?"
"No, I think you like made it pretty clear Cyke," Kitty replied.
"Lead the way ol' Fearless Leader," Logan retorted as he walked to where Scott stood. Scott's face seemed to have darkened a bit. Jean picked up the death glare that he gave Logan and went to stand by him before any more insults made the session any longer. Jean was the first to step through the door and stood to the side as everyone poured in. Within the Danger Room, Professor Xavier was sitting in the observation area above them. Once the doors shut, the room began the simulation. The scenery in the room faded into darkness and buildings began to pop up out of nowhere. Where the metal walls once stood, a city appeared. It was dimly lit from the lamps placed at the sides of some street sidewalks. A thick fog rolled in from every corner, making it very difficult to see past a few feet.
"Wow this is creepy," Storm shuttered. She was standing by Rogue and Wolverine. The rest of the group was farther ahead and blanketed by the fog.
"Ah'm not surprised if some crazed maniac jumps out from some alleyway," Rogue said. They took a few steps forward.
"AAAHHH!" Storm and Rogue screamed as two mysterious figures jumped at them. The light from the nearby lamp revealed Nightcrawler and Gambit who were doubled over, laughing.
"Ah'm going to kill you!" Rogue yelled as she punched Gambit in the arm.
"Oui! That hurt chere!" Rogue smirked at the Cajun. Storm made a thundercloud go over Kurt.
"Hey!"
"This is not that bad," Piotr inquired. Before he could say anything else, a gun was fired.
"Spoke too soon," Kitty breathed as she catapulted into the air and missed a bullet that whizzed by her head. Piotr was not in his steel form and dove behind a building wall. Another shot sounded and instead, it was a bright red laser. Kitty jumped toward Colossus and phased him before the shot could hit him. She felt her stomach have butterflies from the close contact with him.
"Thank-you," he smiled. Kitty blushed and continued to watch for more bullets on her side. Colossus covered in metal and deflected some of the bullets that came his way. Further ahead, Gambit, Rogue, and Kurt dodged bullet after bullet. Rogue somersaulted into the air as a bullet whipped underneath her. Gambit jumped to the side and used his staff to deflect some of the lasers.
"Sacrebleu!" Gambit tumbled to the ground as a laser hit his trench coat. Kurt teleported out of the way and grabbed Rogue before another laser could hit her in the back. He then teleported Gambit a few paces ahead to where Storm, Wolverine, Jean, and Cyclops were.
"Where are zey coming from?" Kurt yelped as he ducked behind a wall.
"Hold on," Storm commanded as she rose into the air on her winds. Her hair whipped around wildly as she searched the buildings. "They're coming from the street corner cameras. Blast as many as you can and let's run to the other end." She dropped to the ground and ran with the others toward the end. Cyclops fired his optic blasts at one of the corners and sped toward Jean.
"Jean!" She whipped her head around to see a laser pointing at her. She lifted her hands and caused the air to pulse around her. A protective telekinetic bubble formed and caused the bullets and red beams to ricochet off. She concentrated harder and made the bubble expand to hit the gun.
"Thanks Scott." Kitty and Colossus were able to catch up by now as they ran through the alleyways.
"Kitty, phase through some of the guns and disrupt them," Cyclops ordered. She nodded and jumped ahead. She phased herself and was able to walk on the air toward the guns. Bullets went right through her as she reached toward the gun and put her hand through it. The machine fizzed and then dropped. On the ground, Storm was back to back with Logan. Her eyes turned an electrifying white as she called the lightning down to hit the lasers. Wolverine was using his claws to slice through anything that came their way. Gambit grabbed one of his cards and charged it with kinetic energy. He threw it at a few of the lasers which then exploded.
"Keep moving forward," Cyclops yelled from the front with Jean. With that, everyone started sprinting ahead. In the corner of Wolverines eye, something large and dark was heading straight for him and Storm.
"Hit the deck!" Storm ducked down as a car was catapulted from the side. It was mere inches from her head and flew straight at Wolverine. He jumped into the air and sliced through the vehicle. It separated into two and flew to the sides of the group.
"What was with the car!" Ororo yelled. Wolverine came over and helped her up.
"Um… heh.. surprise?" Cyclops said confused. "Keep moving forward guys!" He jogged up to Jean and they both saw the end of the street, which was the other end of the Danger Room. Jean glided forward and used her telekinesis to bring Scott with her.
"Almost there," Kitty said relieved as she, Colossus, and Kurt were running up behind him. Shadowcat phased the two through some of the lasers that came directly at them.
"I almost had my tail singed off!" Nightcrawler yelped. He teleported ahead to Cyclops and Jean. "I zink you should make ze session harder Scott," he replied sarcastically. The front of the group finally reached the end and stood off to wait for the others. Shadowcat skidded to a halt and was almost knocked over when Piotr collided into her. He stopped her fall as he grabbed her shoulders. Behind them, Ororo flew above Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine.
A stray red beam came at Gambit and burnt another hole in his trench coat. "Sooner or later Gambit's gonna have ta get insurance on dis thing. Oof—" Rogue jumped at him as another shot went by them.
"Watch where ya going swap rat!" Ororo laughed at the two from up above and swiftly lowered down to where Logan was. Her cape whipped behind her as they managed to reach the end of the street. Before they reached the end, another object blasted toward them. Storm commanded the winds to slow the speed of the object as it just missed Wolverine's shoulder.
"Was that a hubcap!?" Wolverine growled.
"I think that the Danger Room is out to get you," Storm chuckled. They stepped aside with the other group and waited for Rogue and Remy. After a few seconds, they sprinted to the group.
"End simulation." The whole scenery faded away, revealing the plated metal walls and the steel floor.
"Thank goodness that's over," Jean sighed. The steel doors the group was standing next to opened with a whoosh. The all turned to see the Professor wheeling into the room.
"Good job everyone. You all used teamwork which brought you to end in one piece," the Professor explained. "Now for the briefing. Since you all and a few of the younger students are going to be at the mansion for a week, I have decided on a vacation for everyone to go on. You don't want to be here for a week doing training sessions, do you?"
"No!" Everyone practically yelled simultaneously.
"I thought not. You all will be going to an all exclusive resort in the Alps. It has skiing and swimming at the base. I hope you guys will enjoy yourselves."
"Thank's so much Professor. Like, aren't you coming too?" Kitty asked as she flipped a stray piece of chestnut brown hair out of her face.
"No. I have a few meetings to attend to," he said with a smile. "You are all dismissed for the rest of the day." As he left the room, the X-men dashed up the stairs to get ready for the vacation ahead.
