Three people surrounded Danica who was unconscious on the examination table with wires attached to different parts of her body. Her eyes were closed but Lane could still feel a powerful wave of energy come off her every so often.
"What happened?" Bradley asked.
Lane hung his head, "Her powers got the best of her,"
"Will she be okay?" Wade asked.
Lane shrugged.
"So you challenged her?" Bradley
Lane got up quickly sending the chair he was sitting on flying backwards into the wall.
"So you're saying this is my fault?" he said angrily.
Bradley stood too, "Looks like it,"
"Well news flash, I didn't force her too,"
"Really? Cause according the students in my class you were the one who kept challenging Danica until she couldn't refuse,"
Lane was about to charge at Bradley but he slammed into an invisible wall and fell backwards.
"That is enough gentlemen," a voice said roughly.
Lane got to his feet and gave Bradley an angry glare while Wade turned to Charles.
"Is she okay?" Wade asked.
Charles stood before Danica and gently placed his hands on her forehead and nodded.
"She will be okay Wade,"
Bradley and Lane stopped their staring contest long enough to listen to the professor.
"It seemed that the energy that Danica conducted was a combination of kinetic and magnetic energy both considered dangerous if used improperly. Danica's mutation helped her survive because of the shadows she had under control created an invisible force field somehow which protected her greatly,"
"Force field?" Lane asked, "Shadows don't create force fields,"
Charles looked up and took his hands away from Danica's head: "No...but a student here can, a couple I'd say,"
The rom was very quiet as Bradley, Lane and Wade figured out what Charles had said.
"She can steal powers?" Wade said quietly.
"Not stealing, borrowing. She can only borrow the powers of another mutant as long as she has the shadow or person under control, the power doesn't stay permanently. The explanation for the energy that was building in the shadow funnel is the energy of the students,"
"Students?"
"Danica can steal energy and make it her own she doesn't borrow. The energy she takes is turned into magnetic energy, kinetic energy and plasma energy by the powers of the students,"
"So she can drain energy from students and their powers,"
"Through their shadows, it is possible also she has to have a lot of energy herself to do such a thing. Or at least something to get her mutation built up with enough energy,"
"What happens then?" Bradley asked.
Charles looked at the computers and sighed, "What you witnessed that afternoon was only a small display of what her she can do. Once her mutation has enough energy it has the reflexes of expelling an attack, but if her mutation has too much energy...,"
"It has the power to wipe out Washington," Wade finished.
Charles nodded, " Which is why I want you three to watch her very carefully, her mutation seems to still be 'immature' which is when the mutation can be dangerous,"
"We can watch her," Lane said.
"Good," Charles got up and headed for the door, "I will also teach her lessons on controlling her power,"
"Why?" Wade asked, "She was fine a couple of years ago,"
"A couple of years ago her mutation was only able to take so much energy before she would exhaust and collapse. Now her mutation can take as much energy as it wants without any limits,"
