Well, here it is. The Almighty Danger Room Session Chapter!
Dum dum dum! I'm so silly. Anyway on with the chapter where I don't own anything but Pirate!
The professor and Logan watched as their new recruits had their first danger room session.
Wraith scanned the room. It was disguised to look like an old abandoned warehouse. From experience, he knew that Angelique was up on the rafters, Phantom was somewhere in the shadows, Blood was in the darkest corner he could find, and Victor, as always, was cackling silently off to the side. He, himself, was leaning against the back wall doing nothing as usual. The other girl, Ava, he thought her name was, was nowhere to been seen. He could probably have found her with his telepathy, but then again, its not like he gave a damn.
Suddenly, a large man with a suit of armor and a giant helmet on his head lifted out of the floor. His eyes were closed and his body was completely still.
"This is the Juggernaut," the Professor's voice echoed through the metallic room, "Once he starts moving he cannot be stopped. The only way to defeat him is to remove his helmet and then telepathically subdue him."
As soon as the Professor finished, the robot's eyes snapped open and he began throwing boxes around the room.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" He bellowed to the dark.
Wraith lifted himself in the air and flew up next Angelique. She nodded at him and turned her attention back to the ground.
Phantom was closest to the Juggernaut. He was weaving in and out of the shadows taunting him. Victor was shooting wildly at him, but it barely made a dent. Blood was still in his corner waiting.
"Now what is she up to?"
Angelique turned to see what Wraith was looking at.
Ava was standing still with something in the palm of her hand. Her face was scrunched up in concentration."
"Why don't you just probe her mind?"
Wraith looked at her and smirked. "Because that would be to easy."
Angelique chuckled and turned her attention back to the battle. She saw that Phantom and Victor were having trouble taking the giant mutant down. She knew that Blood couldn't help because his powers manipulated the mind but that other girl…
Ava's eyes snapped open when she heard someone snap at her.
"What are you doing?"
Ava looked at the girl next to her and then back to her hand. In her palm lay a half-dollar the size of a saucer. The image was still engraved in the metal but the coin itself was completely flat and from appearance, very sharp. She glared at Angelique and then threw the disc-like coin at the Juggernaut.
The coin made a loud, metallic clang as it hit one of the buckles on the helmet and slicing it open.
"That is what I'm doing. Excuse me." She said as she ran toward the burly mutant.
Outraged, the Juggernaut turned to see what had struck him, which gave him the perfect opportunity to unlock a latch himself.
Angelique smiled and took to the air. She then swooped down and unlatched a lock while Victor, Phantom, and Ava did what they could to distract him.
She was beaming when she landed next to Wraith.
"Ready, mon ami?"
"Aren't I always?"
By the time the pair reached the ground, Victor had destroyed the last latch and Blood was hypnotizing Juggernaut, who was now on his knees. Blood moved aside as Wraith stepped into his place.
The Juggernaut shook his head as he came out of his stupor. He snarled and began to lunge for Wraith. The teenage boy smirked and clocked the mammoth mutant in the face effectively breaking its jaw. He then sent a psychic blast that knocked him unconscious and sent him the ground.
The metallic walls of the danger room appeared as the illusion faded away.
"Well done, children. That is enough for today."
The teens nodded and walked out of the room.
"So how was your first day in the danger room?"
Ava looked up as Ray walked into the room.
Jubilee was out on a date with Bobby, which left Ava by herself.
"It wasn't that bad."
"Ha. Just wait. It gets worse."
"Right, sure." She replied rolling her eyes.
"Just wait in see, Ava, and don't come crying to me when you're so sore you can't walk."
"Sure, Ray, and just so you know, the last person I would come crying to would be you." She said as she moved over so that he could sit on the bed.
"Oh, now that's just hateful." He replied smirking at her.
A moment of comfortable silence passed between them.
"You eaten yet?"
"No. Why?"
"Come on, let go out."
"Ray Crisp, are you asking me out on a date?"
"You won't know unless you go, will you?"
Ava grinned and stood.
'This should be interesting.' She thought as she grabbed her purse, took Ray's arm, and exited the room.
"Are sure about this?"
Professor Charles Xavier looked at the person before him an eyebrow raised.
"Positive. Shaw is forcing them to do more and more training each day and each day they get stronger. Professor, they're almost invincible."
Charles Xavier shook his head and steeped his fingers.
"Charles."
He looked up at his name.
"You have to push them harder."
"They're children…"
"The moment they stepped through those doors they were no longer children. They were heroes. Now let them be who they are. And besides, it's never stopped you before."
Charles winced at the disdain in the person's voice.
"Very well. Thank you."
The person rose and nodded before slipping out of the room and into the shadows.
So Xavier's been naughty. Well, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Another chapter should be up tomorrow and it will probably involve shopping and a run in with one of our favorite evil mutant teams. Until next time, much love, Echo ) Oh and to Raven, I hope you enjoyed your pizza! I'm so jealous! And good luck at camp (wink)
