That night was the first in a long time that Daniel didn't have nightmares. He woke up actually feeling refreshed. As he finished his shower, and was getting dressed, he heard a knock at the door. He had awoken, as he always did, at five. It was an internal thing that he had never figured out. He could go to bed at four thirty, and would awake, without fail, at five a.m. He finished pulling his T-shirt on and opened the door. Standing there was the girl from yesterday, except this time she was wearing purple and blue spandex. His eyes went wide.
"Morning," Kitty said brightly. "I know its Saturday, but Mr. Logan wants us to run a Danger Room program to see where you two newbies stand." She smiled.
Daniel shook his head and looked at her again. "Danger Room?" he asked, puzzled.
"You'll see," she giggled. He stepped out and she took him by the hand and lead him down to the training room.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hey, wake up sugah," Rogue said to her new roommate.
"Mmfff, sht p," mumbled the sleeping Reaper.
"Get up," Rogue said, hitting the other girl with a pillow. "Mr. Logan wants to run some training stuff with us."
"Tell him to off," Katie said as she rolled over.
"He will drag you down there in whatever you're wearing," she warned.
"Don't care," Katie said in an annoyed voice.
Rogue grabbed the bottom of her sheet and jerked sharply. It was then that she found out Katie hadn't worn anything but her panties to sleep in. Rouge snapped around.
"Goddess," Katie yelled when she realized she was nude to the world. She grabbed her bra from near by and put it on, and began to get dressed. "What the hell did you think you were doing?" Katie roared.
"Getting you up," Rogue smirked as she turned around.
Katie opened her mouth, but then closed in a wicked smile. "Tricky," she complimented. "Very tricky."
"Thank you," said Rogue as she watched Katie put on her cloak and hood.
"Do it again," Katie warned, "and you'll find out why I'm called the Reaper." With the threat placed, Katie snapped the hood of her cloak up and walked down the hall.
"This way," Rogue said, leading the way.

Phineaus unlocked the front door of the Brotherhood of Bayville Boardinghouse. He stepped in and immediately wanted to step out. The place was a pigsty. He heard something blaring in the next room. He walked in to find a short teen sitting on a couch watching a small portable television. "Ahem," Phineaus said to get the short one's attention.
The teen leapt up and turned in surprise. "Who 'r you?" he asked, a Brooklyn accent heavy in his dialect.
"Name's Phin Reicheart. Magneto sent me," He informed. "I'm also called Gore. You are Todd Tolenski, AKA; the Toad. A number of mutant powers that result in a frog-like appearance."
"Yup," Todd said in a quaking voice. "Magneto sent you."
Phin looked at him with a friendly smile. "You got a problem with me bein' in charge?" he asked.
"Nope," Toad squeaked.
"Good," Phin said as he threw his duffle bag in a corner. "Its Saturday morning," he smiled. "Everyone can sleep in for now, and we can work later. For now, lets watch some toons."
Todd's face lit up. "I'm watchin' Turtles now," he announced.
Phin sat down and watched with the froggy young man.
"Good call," he said with a smile.

"I'm your new nightmare," said Logan. "The older students can tell you, I'm am unrelenting, apathetic, and harsh. Any one caught slacking will be harshly . . ."
"Shut up and get goin'," snapped Katie.
Wolverine glared hard at her. He even moved right into her face. The entire class was silent. Present were Cyclops, Jean, Kitty, Kurt, Daniel, and Reaper.
"You will be randomly assigned a team color, and due to a number of factors, you have been assigned a number of health points. You will fight until your team color fades. When that happens, you are down." Wolverine checked to make sure they were paying attention. "You get out of the way and let the exercise continue. This is to find out where the newbies stand."
"Fun time," Reaper said as the lights went up. Everyone had a bright circle on their chests. Kurt, Jean, and Scott had red on their chest. Daniel, Katie, and Kitty had blue on theirs.
Kitty grabbed Daniel's wrist, saying, "C'mon Danny!"
Fortunately, Cyclops tried to attack Reaper first. She dodged easily and got too close. Cyclops was down in thirty seconds. Down and unconscious. Then she moved to Kurt. "Demon versus Death," Kurt said lightly. "Let's see how it goes."
Kurt could move quicker than Katie. After a minute of trying Katie backed off, realizing she couldn't get to him. Kurt used distance as his friend when fighting her. She smiled and let her hood fall low. Suddenly she simply dissolved. She became a shadow on the ground. The shadow moved quickly to Cyclops. Scott stood and shook his head.
Kurt teleported beside Scott and asked, "Are you okay Scott? Vhere did she go?"
"Right here," said Scott cruelly. Scott's fist connected hard with Kurt's jaw. After that Kurt got the idea; Katie had possessed Scott's body. He ported away, but that didn't save him. Katie had watched Scott firing his beams. She knew how to do it, and her aim was quite good. She nailed Kurt inside a minute.
Meanwhile Jean had gone after Danny and Kitty. She flew at them quickly, when Danny turned around, his hands flew up on instinct and Jean was thrown backwards. She stopped herself just before hitting a wall. "Impressive Danny," she said.
"Thanks," he said, a small note of pride welling up. He concentrated this time on going up. To his surprised it worked. He levitated a few feet at first, then he shot up. With each new feat he kept thinking, 'if this is possible, then why not . . ." and he would let his mind focus and try something new.
He didn't have much time to experiment though as Jean was once again hurtling straight towards him. He decided chicken was just the game for this. He used his own telekinesis to fling himself right at her. When they were maybe two feet apart their energy forces collided. They stalled, but both looked like they were pushing. Danny kept uping the force, as did Jean. The difference was that Jean was showing signs of fatigue already, while Danny only showed the strain of concentration.
Finally Jean was flung to the ground. She landed at the possessed Scott's feet. "Scott, did you see that?" she asked. She was answered with a round house kick to the head. Her light faded, and she was dizzy, but not hurt too badly.
"The exercise is over," came the professor's voice.
Reaper removed herself from Scott, who collapsed, but immediately began to regain consciousness. Kurt, limping slightly, but not too seriously hurt also joined them. Kitty was leaping for joy though. "We won, Daniel!" she cried loudly. "We did it!"
She hugged Daniel, and was about to hug Katie, but the look given her definitely prohibited it. She went back to hugging Daniel and even gave him a kiss on the cheek. He stepped back blushing, but smiling ear to ear. For a minute at least.
It started as a slight wince, obviously Danny had some sort of pain. Then his hands were at the sides of his head. Soon he was grunting. Suddenly a strip of flooring next to him ripped itself up and was flung across the room, as if by some invisible plow. He fell to his knees as the others looked at him. "Run," he grunted as tears welled in his eyes. "Run now."
"Morning," Kitty said brightly. "I know its Saturday, but Mr. Logan wants us to run a Danger Room program to see where you two newbies stand." She smiled.
Daniel shook his head and looked at her again. "Danger Room?" he asked, puzzled.
"You'll see," she giggled. He stepped out and she took him by the hand and lead him down to the training room.
