"Uuuuhhn!" Jenn cried as the wind was knocked out of her by one of the danger rooms many mechanical arms.
"Get off yer ass kid! You gotta move faster!"
"Yeah yeah" she muttered when she got he breath back. Actually, that was the first time that had happened since they had started training, two hours ago but Jenn showed no signs of stopping, she could do it as long as he could!
"We can take a little break if you need one darlin" Smirked wolverine, although he had to admit the kid was impressing him, she was too slow though, the result of training with classmates that were below her ability level.
"If you don't wipe that shit eating grin off your face I'm gonna break you!" She cried sending a scorching blast of light right past Wolverine into a sentinel, he could feel the heat and almost smell his own arm hair burning, he's never realized light was such a powerful thing. "That's it, I'm pulling the plug" Beast said from the control room, "You two have spent way over the ruled time allotment in there."
"Fine by me Hank, but I think our little sunspot here wants to keep going. Whad'ya say kid?" But the question was posed to any empty room, she was gone. "I'm telling ya hank, I drive the women wild!"
"Must be your sparkling personality my impertinent friend. I'm off to dinner, join me?
"Thanks man but no, Prof. said he wanted to see me after w got done. I'll see you later huh?
"As you wish mon frer. Until then."
Logan headed down the hall to the Professors office.
"Logan, come in and have a seat."
"Well, I did what ya asked, satisfied?"
"Yes Logan, very much so, I think these sessions are going to be an enormous help, but we not only need to train Jennifer, we need to open her up as well, get her to interact with others."
"Prof. Why do you think she's like that, hostile to everyone, kid doesn't trust anyone or anything, reminds me o myself when I first came here."
"I've pondered that myself Logan, but I cannot go into her mind without her permission, and that is something she's very unwilling to give. I suppose we'll just have to do this the old fashioned way."
"Extraction through torture?
"No Logan! You'll have to get to know her, become her friend and perhaps win her trust."
"Whoa, back the truck up, it's one thing training the kid, but weaseling my way into her good graces just to get info? Naw professor, that's just wrong."
"Logan, obtaining information is not the main objective here. The child is completely alone in the world, she needs a companion and I believe you would be a suitable one for her."
"Alright Prof. But if she turns out like me you'll wish you hadn't said that."
"I'm sure. Now you need to start tonight but she's left the mansion already."
"Sense her leaving?"
"No, her silver corvette is gone."
"Oh."
"Anyway, I'm positive she's gone to Club Skunk, you'll need to go there too, it's only a few miles away."
"Are you kidding? I can't go there, that place is full o kids!"
"Which is exactly why she is there. She plays guitar in a band called "Crash & Burn" and they're playing tonight so I suggest you get going."
"You owe me big for this Professor." He growled and stomped out the door to hope on his motorcycle and ride into the night.
