X-Men: Black and White

---------------

Jean watched with fascination as Logan entered the Danger Room in the fitting black and white uniform that the entire team was accustomed to. She was sort of amused at how he kept pulling at the fabric and fiddling with the silver belt.

Cyclops saw Logan come into the room, standing with his hands across his chest in a very 'leader type' fashion, letting Logan know that *he* was the boss.

Jean took hold of Logan's arm, leaning into his shoulder and smiling. "You look good."

Logan just grunted. "This really ain't my style darlin'." he told her, gesturing toward the uniform.

Jean untangled herself from his arm and started toward the elevator that would take her to the control tower. She winked at Logan, then playfully glared at the both of them, waving a finger in the air. "You boys play nice now."

---------------

Cyclops grinned as Jean finally left so they could start. He'd already had the perfect simulation logged into the computer to start at his voice command. "You ready for this Logan?" He challenged.

Logan smirked his stance calm and casual. "Yeah, I'm ready. And in here, you c'n jus' call me Wolverine."

Scott adjusted his visor. "Cyclops."

Logan nodded, squinting as he peered up into the control tower to see Jean in the window. She looked concerned...and he felt bad for that, but he didn't want her worrying about him, he could take care of himself.

Cyclops nodded, glancing to the side. "Computer, begin simulation: Cyclops 12." he commanded.

Suddenly the entire metallic Danger Room changed, the walls were no longer there, in their place was only a thick, jungle-like atmosphere.

Wolverine grunted, looking around. 'That's nifty.' He thought to himself with an amused grin. He watched Cyclops begin to take off into the thick of the trees. 'Hmph, what's he runnin' from?' Wolverine wasn't yet quite sure what the simulation was going to do, but he would be ready. 'Did Cyke ferget ta mention somethin'? Like uh..an objective maybe?' He rolled his eyes, thoughts dripping with sarcasm. Wolverine unsheathed his claws with a metallic, *SNIKT!* He grinned ferally, remembering the feeling of his claws. He hadn't used them since first encountering the werewolves.

---------------

Meanwhile, Cyclops slipped silently through the simulated trees, knowing exactly what he was doing. Just as he went out of sight, Cyclops heard what sounded like a blade being unsheathed. He peered through the thick trees to see Wolverine standing there with three metal claws protruding from between his knuckles on each hand. He raised his eyebrows, moving on. 'So that's his power huh? I mean, besides the whole 'healing' thing. Hmm..it's different.' Cyclops shrugged, turning to blast a simulated dinosaur as it emerged from the brush infront of him.

---------------

Jean stood in the control tower, nervously hugging her arms around her shoulders. As the normal Danger Room setting dissappeared, she realized she couldn't see Logan very well. Jean watched Scott leave, and it seemed Logan remained in place. 'What is he doing?' She thought to herself worriedly. 'Didn't Scott brief him on the type of session they were doing?' Jean sighed, turning to the computer screens to see if she could spot either Logan or Scott.

---------------

Wolverine saw a red flash through the trees, and heard something that sounded like a loud screech from some kind of animal. 'That wasn't normal.' he thought to himself, keeping his senses alert for any danger. A russling noise came in from behind and Logan ducked just in time to avoid a whipping tail from some dinosaur-like creature. 'Whoa. I thought these were robots or somethin'...I actually smelled that thing...'

Wolverine ducked again, rolling to the side as another creature attacked him. Now he was battling two of them. He groaned, holding his middle for a second as he got to his feet. 'Rrg, that hurt more'n I thought it would.' Wolverine leapt upward as one of the creatures dove at him, landing multiple slashes across it's back. 'Hmm..these things even bleed...interestin'.' He smirked, continuing with his battle.

---------------

Cyclops took a light blow to the side, falling to the ground. He quickly recovered from the fall and let loose another optic blast from his visor, making a confirmed kill. Now noticing there were no dino's after him for the moment, Cyclops jogged through the brush to where he'd last seen Wolverine.

Just reaching the scene, Cyclops saw Wolverine standing over two downed dinosaurs. He rolled his eyes with a slight smile. 'Hmph, so he can hack it...even injured.' He noticed how Logan seemed to be favoring his side. Scott was just about to give Wolverine a hand when he witnessed one of the larger simulated dinosaurs jump out of the brush at him. "Look out!"

Wolverine turned to where he heard the yelling, but it was too late. The other creature caught him off-guard, headbutting him from the side and sending Logan crashing into one of the fake trees.

---------------

Jean had seen nothing from the cameras, the simulation was too good and the jungle atmosphere too thick. The next thing she heard was from Cyclops.

---------------

"Computer! End simulation NOW!" Scott yelled to the computer, running towards the fallen man. 'Great, what've I done now.' He cursed himself.

---------------

Jean gasped as the computer terminated the simulation and the room's normal setting came back. She saw Logan sprawled out across the other side of the room, Scott running over to him. She quickly got into the elevator to take her into the Danger Room.
