Prexistence: FINALS ARE OVER! so decided to celebrate by having a book burning and updating this fic.
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men, they belong to Stan Lee & Marvel, the setting takes place in the movieverse. If I could I would change it, but I am not rich (yet).
They both stood as the elevator made it's way to the lower basement of the mansion. "So explain to moi, what is de purpose of de Danger Room?" Remy asked Rogue.
"Well Professor Xavier, the head master of this school wants ta make sure we can handle ourselves if we ever need ta. Plus it's suppose ta help us be able ta control our powers better." She replied as she looked down at her gloved hand. "Ah still don't know how its suppose ta help meh though." She whispered.
"Don' talk like dat, cher. Y' get control over y'r powers sooner or later." Remy tried to encourage her, but she only looked at him sorrowfully.
"Ah don't think so. Ah can't touch anythin, ya know how hard it is ta go around here and see all the happy couples hugging and kissing and knowin ya may never have that?" She said as she folded her gloved arms over her chest and stared at the doors to the elevator. The door finally opened.
"Actually, cher, I am." Remy said seriously, Rogue looked at him as they exited the elevator and the doors closed behind them. "Gambit ain' able to touch anythin' though. He passes through everythin' now."
"Thats ah think the first time Ah ever heard ya 'Remy or Gambit'." She gave a small smirk. "Ah guess ya do kinda know what it is like now. Except ya were able ta touch at one point in your life." Rogue pointed out to him.
"So were y', when y' were younger." He said to her with a grin on his face, knowing he was right.
"Wait, how ya know about when Ah was younger?" She questioned him, knowing only a few people knew of her pass.
"Comes with de job description. Y' had a home, den y' touch y'r boyfriend, y' drain em, den y' end up 'ere. Dat's all Gambit knows." He replied to her.
"Oh, are ya sure that's all ya know." She glanced over at him as she pressed a button on the side wall and a door opened. She stepped inside a metal looking room, the Danger Room. No one was in there, except for Mr. Summers who had his hands folded over his chest and looked like he had been waiting for quite a while.
"Dat and only de things y' told moi." He replied as he stepped into the room. 'Merde, dis is where dey train?' He thought to himself as he looked around at the large circular metal room.
"It's nice to see at least some people show up early." Mr. Summers said as Rogue made her way over to him. A few minutes later Carol Danvers, Bobby Drake, Kitty Pryde, Piotr Rasputin, Betsy Braddock, and Warren Worthington III entered the Danger Room. "It's about time." Scott mumbled to himself.
"It's not our fault, I mean you expect us to be here on a Saturday. Shouldn't be later on like towards night." Carol complained to the instructor. "Besides, its not our fault that SOME people have no lives, but to arrive on time." She whispered as she stood behind Rogue, who turned and gave her a glare.
"First of all we are not able to have them at night due to interferences, you all know what they are. Second, it is better to get your training done in the morning so you have the rest of the day to do whatever it is you please. Now please people, cooperate with me and you will be able to leave early.
"Quicker we get this done I can go to the mall." Kitty said as she looked over at Piotr. "You wanna come along." She asked cheerfully and smiled at him.
"Um, uh sure." Piotr answered her, looking unsure of himself.
"Oh, please. What is wrong with dis guy, girl wants to go out with y', y' say yes right away." Gambit said out loud, though Rogue was the only one who heard him. She shook her head, but did not say anything.
"Okay, now people. Due to Jubilee leaving as you guys were aware of since the last time that changed the teams. Plus with the arrival of Miss. Braddock and Mr. Worthington, the teams have been changed once again." Scott announced.
'Ah liked the team Ah was on last time.' Rogue thought to herself. The first time during training session it was her, Jubilee, and Piotr, while the other team was Bobby, Carol, and Kitty. The last time it had been uneven and now it looked like it still remained uneven.
"Okay, team red is Bobby, Kitty, Betsy, and Piotr." Scott announced, watching the teens meet with their team. "Blue team is of Warren, Carol, and Rogue." Scott said finally, even though there was no point, they were the only remaining people.
Carol turned to Rogue. "You better watch your back girlie." Carol said with a fake smile on her face, to make it look like she was pleased being placed on Rogue's team. "Angel it is great to have you on the team. Nice to know now we might stand a chance." She said as she walked over and shook Warren's hand.
"Nice to be on the team as well." Warren smiled at her. Carol then got closer to him and whispered something in his ear.
"If I were you, I would stay away from the skunk. You never met her, but Jubilee had to leave because of Rogue. She sucked her dry and she will do the same to you if you touch or go near her. She hates other people who can touch, while she can't." Carol smiled as she pulled away from Warren's ear and looked over at Rogue.
"Gambit say y' should go kick her ass. She be lyin' about y'." Remy glared at Carol. He didn'. like her the first time he had seen her and now he seemed to be disliking her even more. 'Dat bitch.' He thought.
"Ah don' care what her or anyone else says about meh. And Ah don't care if bird boy likes meh or not. If he is stupid enough to fall for what she is sayin without findin out for himself, Ah don't care if Ah ever get ta know em." Rogue whispered as she stood away from her team.
"Okay now this is going to be a bit different than the normal training sessions. As you know we change it around in here, sometimes you will be fighting programs designed for each of you, or sometimes on teams and will fight against whatever is programed. This time, it will be team Blue vs team Red." Scott announced. After the last time of everyone saying that the sessions were getting boring and needed to be more real, he discussed it with the Professor and this was the outcome.
"That doesn't seem that hard." Bobby said.
"I almost forgot to mention, Storm is in the control room and has set it so lasers will be coming out of the walls. They are not fatal, but they are a bit painful when hit." Scott added.
"Isn't that like child abuse?" Kitty asked, not liking the idea of lasers coming at her while she was fighting.
"No it is not child abuse, for one your not children, and they only sting a bit." Scott sighed. 'Can we just start already.' He thought to himself, but then someone else started to argue as well.
"But you said that it can be a bit painful. Well is it or isn't it?" Carol rolled her eyes, giving Mr. Summers a hard time.
"They do not hurt, unless they are placed on full blast. Can we just begin this session, please." He almost sounded as if he was begging them. 'I swear next time Kurt gets to train them.' He thought to himself.
Both teams went to the opposite sides of each other in the room. Scott stayed in the room in case of any horse play or joking that went on. "Okay you may begin. . . now!"
The teams were uneven, but still were able to go against pretty well. Angel took up for the air and sped and Colossus, dodging the ice beams that were being sent at him by IceMan. He rushed by IceMan and grabbed Colossus around the back of his red uniform and brought his heavy metal body into the air.
"Hey that's cheating!" Bobby yelled as he saw his friend being lifted.
"No it isn't Bobby, this may happen on the battlefield." Scott shouted over to Bobby.
Angel then threw Colossus into the wall. The metallic man hit the wall and slide to the ground. He shook his head and got up again. Angel did not have time to pay attention to him, since Bobby was busy throwing ice beams at his wings.
"So you think you can take me?" Carol laughed as she approached Psylocke, who had two purple psyche-blades coming out of her hands.
"Bring it on." Psylocke said as she stood in battle position, waiting for Carol to make the first move. Carol flew right at Psylocke, who raised her hands to try and knock Carol down with the knives, but missed. Instead Carol landed in back of Psylocke and punched her from behind, sending the purple haired woman flying backwards.
"One down, three to go." Carol smiled. As she looked over to see how Angel was doing, who had been able to take out Colossus finally and was not working on a way to rid himself of IceMans's ice beams. "Well maybe two then." She mutter under her breath as she looked over to see Rogue and Kitty, sort of fighting.
It was harder to fight Kitty, for one every time Rogue tried to punch or kick her, it would phase through and she would keep backing up. "Dis one is cheatin'." Remy said as she watched Rogue fight and would keep telling her of what to do.
"Okay this is like getting really boring." Kitty said as she got far enough from Rogue.
"I agree." A voice from behind Kitty said. She turned around and saw Carol standing there and was then had her legs swiped from under her before she could phase herself.
"That's not fair." Kitty yelled as she hit the ground, indicating she was now out.
Carol glanced over at Rogue. "Ah was doin fine. Ah didn't need your help." Rogue growled at her. Carol only smiled and walked a bit closer to her.
"Who said I was helping you. I was merely doing as I was instructed to do, take out the opposing team. I see Angel can do it and so can I, as for you." She began to laugh at Rogue, who clenched her fists at her side. "are out of your league girl. You should go back to wherever you came from." Carol said as she turned away from Rogue.
"Well at least Ah'm not some stuck up who thinks their better than everyone else, when they're not. Ya try to intimidate meh, but it never works like it did with the others. Ah ain't scared of ya Carol, your nothin." Rogue glared at the other woman.
Rogue turned her attention back to seeing how Angel was doing, from the looks of it he was not having much luck with IceMan. 'Ah wish this stupid session would just end.' She thought to herself.
"Cher, duck!" Remy shouted at her as he noticed Carol and turned around and was flying straight at her. Rogue hit the floor as soon as she looked back to see Carol. Carol missed her and flew over her.
"Ya got lucky one time, but believe me your luck is about to run out." Carol shouted as she flew straight down at Rogue.
"Chere, stay there." Remy suggested to her.
'What is he thinkin?' Rogue thought to herself as she saw Carol getting closer and closer to her. Then finally she knew why.
Carol was struck with one of the lasers that came from the wall, it hit her right in the back and send her to the ground. "Thanks Remy." Rogue whispered to him with a small grin on her face.
"Anytime cher." He smiled back at her.
"OKAY THIS SESSION HAS ENDED!" Scott shouted, enraged after what he had just seen. "Everyone, you may leave. Carol I want to speak with you, now!" Scott shouted at them all. Everyone left as quickly as they could, not wanting to be in Mr. Summers way when he was angry.
Rogue left the room and saw Carol getting up slowly and making her way over to Scott. "Serves dat fille right." Remy said as he followed her out of the door.
No one had waited for her, as usual when taking the elevator up. Rogue sighed and pressed the button waiting for the lift to return, hoping it was before Carol was done being scolded at. "Ah don't know what her problem is." Rogue said under her breath.
"She just jealous of y' cher." Remy said, trying to make her feel better, she gave him a yeah-right look. "Anyways, y' did good at fightin' in dere, where y' learn to fight like that." He asked her.
"Logan taught meh." She answered as the elevator finally arrived back down. "Ah got a headache right now, can ya be quiet until Ah get some aspirin." She asked, not wanting to sound rude, but at the moment her head was killing her.
"D'aacord."
