Bobby was trying not to stare as Gemma walked past him into the danger room and stood in the middle of the floor looking up. God she looked just plain drop dead GORGEOUS in that outfit, with great effort he closed his mouth, she had enough troubles with out him drooling over her, maybe after she forgot about what had happened and settled in properly then maybe he'd tell her how he felt for her, but right now? He figured his attentions would be LESS than welcome

"So are the others here yet?" she asked

"Nah Cyclops was being his usual self "your about gems age bobby, take her to the danger room and show her the basics before we throw her into a team session, idiot, its not gonna keep it any easier afraid we're all on higher level, you really should have an hour on the basics before the kind of thing he throws into but hey, we'll work with what we have."

"I'm a quick learner" gem said, turning to grin at him, hands on her hips

"Lets see how quick, we don't need any simulation for this, but try and concentrate on your powers, try and recreate whatever you felt and/ or did when you first discovered them, aside from panic" Bobby laughed, "Xavier can probably help you better with this"

"Ok, I'll try, I guess" gem said hesitantly, she felt the light brush of a telepath on her mind, and this tie relaxed, she didn't know whether it was part of her powers that she could block telepaths or whether it was just evidence that she was very strong willed, or to put it not so politely PIG HEADED AS HELL.

She listened attentively to Xavier's voice in her head for a moment, (I think I've got it) she left the thought open to him, *do you think you can manage with bobby now?* Xavier's voice asked kindly in her head. (Yeah I'll be fine, can you please get out of my head, I don't mean to be rude, but it bothers me to have someone in here more than necessary) Gemma pleaded *quite all right, * Xavier thought at her, and then the presence was gone from her mind.

"Weird feeling talking to someone in your head huh" bobby asked, crossing over to the controls for the danger room, "yeah it is" gem replied "hey bobby, catch" she yelled throwing a single perfect crystal knife, blunted at the end, when he turned round.

"You are a quick learner," he grinned, catching the knife with one hand, iced up so it wouldn't scratch, gem beamed.

" Told ya, so bobby d show me the ropes"

"Bobby d? If you say so"

"Quit stalling and show me what we're supposed to be doing, I'm just aching for a workout!"

That bobby could believe, gem looked like she enjoyed a bit of exercise, she didn't look like she did the "twenty press ups and aerobics exercise" activities, she looked like she liked to run, move bike, dance, do things that weren't designed to keep you in shape but did while giving you a fun time, the kind of activities he liked, he grinned

"your on", danger room was the best workout in the world, and somehow bobby knew she would enjoy it.
