Professor Charles Xavier, Scott, Storm, and Logan were looking through the glass window of the Danger Room control room. In the Danger Room was Sam and Cody. Sam was being assessed, and Cody insisted he needed to exercise his powers and he might as well do it at the same time as Sam. Logan had put up a fight about it, arguing that Blink was being a showoff once more. But Xavier didn't mind Blink showing off a little so he agreed to the two being in the Danger Room together.
They watched as Sam thrust out her hand, a stream of water surging out of the palm of her hand. She was wearing one of the X-Men uniforms, and it seemed to fit her perfectly. The holographic robot fell to the ground and evaporated. Her hands moved towards each other as three robots advance. A floating orb of water was created in her hands. Cyclops, Storm, the Professor, and Logan leaned forward to watch it. She swung her hands outwards, and the ball widened and crushed the robots. The water had done its duty…but it could not be seen.
Blink was appearing here and there, it almost appeared as if he was a teleporter. When he ran, he punched and kicked. He had only a small amount more strength than a normal human teenager, but his speed helped with surprise. When they had each done about 40 or so, Professor Xavier reached out and pressed a red button, and the holograms vanished. Sam seemed a little tired, but Blink looked fine. It was Sam's first time in the Danger Room, so that could be excused.
"Did you see that Professor?" Cyclops said, amazed. "I've seen Bobby with his ice, and that's pretty impressive, but it's water…unfrozen, powerful, surging water…"
"Didn't look like she needed help controlling it to me," Wolverine said, pulling away from the window.
Scott, Storm, and Logan talked for a few moments among themselves, but Xavier watched Cody pat Sam on the back, Cody say something to make her laugh, and watched the two start to exit the Danger Room.
"Professor?" Storm asked, the control room quiet. Charles turned his chair around and said calmly,
"She needs more help then you think, Logan." The door slid open and the four mutants turned to see Sam and Cody come in.
"How'd I do?" she asked.
"Fine. Thank you for letting us asses you. Storm will show you your dorm and you may rest and cool down if you like. If you're hungry, lunch is in about a half hour. I'll see you soon Sam," Professor Xavier answered. Storm led Sam out from the room and she waved briefly before following.
"Blink, same to you," Wolverine said stiffly, and Cody turned to go when he heard Xavier's voice in his head.
Help her learn to trust people. Be her friend. Thank you, Blink.
Making sure that neither Cyclops nor Wolverine knew that he had received a telepathic message from Xavier, Blink continued to walk out of the room.

"I don't get why he picked me. He knew you way longer then me," Spike said, as he swung his racquet over the ping pong table. The small pink ball bounced over the net and Colossus swung back. Spike dropped to the floor as the ball whizzed over where his head was a moment ago.
"Sorry Spike. I told him that I'd be too nervous in front of so many people. Plus, I'd make the other guys look like dwarves," Colossus said, smiling. Spike grinned. "Maybe we shouldn't play ping pong anymore. What about darts?"
"Hey, my favorite game," Spike said. He turned towards the dart board and held his hand out towards the board. Three long, brown spikes shot out and landed near the center of the board. "No one can beat the Spike at his own game," he added, grinning.
Colossus laughed and suggested, "Okay, I'm game for basketball."
"No way man, you're like, as tall as the net."
"Football?"
"If I run into you, I'll be unconscious for three days. I'll miss the wedding."
"Frisbee?"
"Sounds good."
"You usually have an excuse for that one too."
"I do? Thanks for reminding me. Give me a second and I'll think of one."

"…and zen, the people kept clapping, and the vat man said 'Go Nightcrawler, go!' And so, they sent me back out into ze arena, and I did a vonderous trick. I climbed to the trapeze, and zere, I started to sving back and forth, back and forth. And zen, I leaped off ze trapeze and vonce in ze air, I zoomed towards ze ground. Only a voot away from ze ground, I teleported to ze ground, and all ze people could see was a cloud of black and zen me standing on the ground! Zat was the night zat people liked me ze most."
The young mutants around him screamed in delight and clapped wildly.
"Tell us another one Nightcrawler!" a young boy shouted, and the others immediately joined in with him.
"Tell us the one where you hid on the ceiling when the fat man was looking for his socks!"
"No! The one where Storm and Professor Jean Grey found you!"
"He told that one yesterday! Tell us about the time you saved Professor Xavier from the fake Cerebro!"
"Uh uh, when he saved Rogue when she flew out of the plane!"
"How about the one where he saved the other students by zapping them out of the jail cell?"
"If he zapped them then he'd be Jubilee!"
"Jubilee didn't zap anybody!"

"Colossus! Spike!"
The two friends turned around as they sat in the grass, throwing a baseball back and forth. Kitty was running towards them, smiling. Spike waved and Colossus grinned.
"Hey," Colossus said, smiling, as Kitty approached. She flung her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "I thought you were going to practice for the wedding."
Sitting down next to him, Kitty answered, "I was, but then Jubilee started to listen to that horrible music, and you know she's impossible to talk to when that happens." Colossus and Spike laughed, and Spike threw the baseball to Kitty. Her hand reached up and grabbed it and tossed it back to Spike.
"Did you guys do the excuse routine already?" she asked, lying down on her stomach.
"Yeah, sorry you missed it," Colossus said. "We can do it again if you want."
"No way Peter, I can't think of original excuses twice a day. I'm using up brain cells over here."
"Pretty please? For me?"
"Fine. But later you have to walk through a wall for me."
"Why do you like watching her do that so much?"
"It's cool. Plus, I can't do that so it makes it even more interesting. Okay, ready?"
"Yeah. Wanna play basketball?"
