*beep beep beep*
"Gad, what's that?" I slowly opened my eyes in my still dark room. I looked over at my alarm clock. It read 6:00am. I didn't remember setting it. Maybe it was automatic.
I tried to turn it off, but couldn't figure out how. I threw it on the floor, but it was apparently made of titanium or something, 'cause it didn't even falter. It didn't even dent the dang thing!
"Screw it." I muttered, and threw it into the shower until later. "I'm getting some more rest."
**********
"TRENT!"
"Ahhh! What the hell? Who's there?"
*It's my. Professor Xavier. I'm speaking to your mind.*
Alright. Why?
*It's 7:00. Are you dressed yet?*
Uh... no.
*You were awaken an hour ago.*
Whoops.
*You have 5 minutes to get ready. Wear something comfortable. Get awake. Be ready.*
What exactly did this guy have in mind?
**********
5 minutes later...
*Bam bam bam*
"Who's there?"
"Scott. Open up. I'm here to pick you up."
And I followed him once more down yet anothr long corridor in the mansion of endless horrors.
**********
Another 5 minutes later...
"And this is?"
"The Danger Room."
"Uh..."
"You're being tested. We're seeing what you and your powers are capable of."
"Dah..."
"They'll explain it to you." He pushed a button and opened the door. And there stood a huge room. Full of people. Big, scary looking people. Including short hairy guy and Gambit. And Rogue *sigh*.
Xavier floated to me and began to speak. We are going to try to attack you, and you try to defend yourself. We'll see what you can and can't handle. How advanced you are in both your powers and your combat training. Remember to stay alert. And have fun."
And I knew at that moment that he was the devil.
"What? You... you're all attacking me at the same time? I can't..."
"You will."
Gulp.
"Ready?"
"I guess."
Xavier floated out the door. The room changed to a city-scape looking thing, like a holodeck*. And we were mentally told to begin.
I stood there, unsure. What do I do? He said defend, but no one attacked yet. Scott was there, about 15 ft. away. I went to ask him when we started, and when I got within 3 feet, he hit me. Hard. In the stomach.
"Bah..." And I doubled over in pain right before passing out.
**********
"Why'd you hit him so hard?"
"We had started. I thought he was going to attack."
"You knocked him out! He's only 17, 145 pounds, 6 foot 9..."
"But he has super-strength. He apparently doesn't know. Xavier sensed it, but the kid hasn't tapped it yet. Xavier thought that the training excercise would raise his adrenaline levels, and make him tap into it..."
"What?" I sat up.
"Nothing."
"It's about me, tell!"
"Ask Xavier. You have a meeting with him tomarrow."
"And when was anyone going to ask me?"
"I just told you. That's all you need to know."
And he walked out, just like that. I turned to the guy Scotty was talking to.
And there stood another fuzzy blue elf, but bigger. This elf was huge, and pretty dang scary, except for the humongous Hawaiian shirt he wore. He wore gargantuan pants that were obviously home made, 'cause they don't make pants that big.
"Are you that Kurt guy's dad?" It's all I could think to say. I mean, I saw the resemblance. They had to be related somehow.
He got this weird look, then kinda chuckled to himself.
"No, I don't suppose I am. In fact, there is no relation between Kurt and myself."
"Oh..." What else to say...
"So, what's your name?"
"Dr. McCoy. Call me Hank. I am the mansions physician. And yourself? I don't beliweve we've been introduced?"
"Call me Trent. I don't do much of anything yet. They already beat me up. Do... do you thing I'm going to make it? I mean, will they kick me out?"
"Oh no, no. That's what training's for. Don't worry. It was your first attempt. You just didn't know what to do." He walked from the room. I did the same, and went to my room (if I could ever find it again.)
That's good, I thought. Plus, this guy seemed okay. He seemed nice. I seemed to have made another friend. And he wasn't another female!
**********
I awoke the next morning, not by my alarm clock, but by that blasted Professor in my head again. I remebered my clock was still in the shower.
*Come to the Danger Room now, for more evaluation.*
"But I need to bathe..."
*Now.*
No wonder Scotty looks up to this guy. They're very similar.
I put on some baggy green pants, my black FoxRacing T-shirt, my orange hat, and my usual pair of Adidas sneakers (although I wore my Airwalks when I didn't plan on being too athletic.) I pushed the same buttons I saw Scotty push, and when the doors opened, I saw the same scene. Same cityscape, same people. And Xavier gave me the same instructions. At the end, he added, "Remember to learn from your mistakes. I will discuss with you what I observe both here in this room, and in your mind, after you have both finished here and eaten something. Meet me in my office exactly 1 hour after we finish here." And he left again.
I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on my task. I didn't even know what their powers were, for God's sake. I started to calm myself by counting to ten, but suddenly Xavier mind-spoke to us, "Ready, begin!"
To be continued...

It's not as humorous as the last one. I was mainly trying to dig deeper into the story in this, and let you see a bit more of... well, I don't rightly know... hope you enjoyed it despite that, but R/R, even if you hated it! C'mon, you know you want to! Puh-leez?
