Tina walked down to the danger room in her suit, after being called down by Cyclops. She didn't ask why, or what it was about and did as told. She been training by herself for close to two months now, and according to Professor X and others who been around her, while she was in a training session, she had been improving a lot quicker then most new recruits. And with all honesty she is just really quick on her feet, so she moved outta the way, and only use her energy blasts when needed.
Right when she walked into the danger room, she really just wanted to get down to business, but again fate wanted to play hardball. Along with Cyclops, Gambit was also in the room, Tina didn't really want to look at Gambit, so she ignored him and kept her attention to Cyclops.
"You wanted to see me Scott? Did I do something wrong, or what?" While both eyes were mainly focus on Cyclops, at a brief glance she notice that Gambit was looking right at the two of them.
"Hi Nightmare", Scott addressed her with her codename. He felt in the danger room, using procedure and protocol were best. It was consistency and regiment that were key in battle.
"I've watched your training sessions and they have been good, you've progressed. To do so on your own is quite impressive. I apologize for not seeing to your early sessions but I think early on, you have to figure out your powers on your own. You've learned allot about yourself and what you can do. Now its time to hone those skills". Cyclops paused for a moment gathering the rest of his thoughts on this mutant. He knew this one needed a push and Wolverine nor Storm were the right ones to get her to use her abilities to the limit. He scoffed to himself, he needed someone with charm to encourage this mutant to use her abilities to the fullest. Someone to cajole and irritate her enough to actually learn to let go and focus on her objectives and trust in what she can do.
"You've become comfortable with what you know in the danger room, its now time to take it to the next level. I'm assigning Gambit to tutor you. He will teach you how to use your energy wielding abilities, and help you with accuracy. Gambit is almost as good as Wolverine with hand to hand combat." Gambit snorted. Cyclops ignored him and continued on.
"Work out training times that do not interfere with anyone else, and we'll re-evaluate your progress in a couple of weeks. Are you ready for the next level Nightmare?" Cyclops asked with an expected yes answer, his stance and tone meant no fooling around.
Tina's pointer finger went up as she tried to speak, but nothing would come out. What she really wanted to say to Cyclops was more on the lines of 'Are you fucking crazy?'. Gambit would have been the very last person on a long list of people that she could have asked for to be partnered with. She had spent close to two months just avoiding the guy, and now she is pretty much being force to work with the guy. At this point she rather work with both of her asshole exes, who had no idea about her powers then being a shy turtle going into a shell to hide from this one guy.
Though with a silent sigh, she nodded her head knowing that there wasn't any other option to pick and choose from. "I am Cyclops…" were the only words that she would allow out of her mouth that wasn't every single swear in the book.
"Great," pleased with her acceptance of the new challenge.
He looked at Gambit "Gambit, I expect progress reports weekly and I want to do an evaluation at the end of two weeks." Feeling he said all that needed to be, he dismissed both of them and left the danger room to do other reports and to check on other recruits, Gambit followed him out.
After the both of them left, Tina fell down into the nearest seat, banging her head against the table. "He is fucking nuts, why him? Outta all of the people he can pick, he had to pick the one I act like a little awkward turtle around." hitting her head against the table again before getting up and leaving the room.
For the rest of the afternoon all of the female students were congratulating her on getting Remy as a tutor, and how lucky she was to be around one of the hottest mutants around. Each time that someone came up and said that to her, she had to keep herself from snapping at them. She was an adult, in her 20's, she didn't need to be treated like a child, or anything else in that manner. Though after she cooled off for a bit in her room, she went looking for Cyclops rubbing the new form bump on her head, she had been hitting her head against the wall a few times. But after finding out that he went out for the night, Tina gave up in defeat and walked around the school a couple of times until her legs got tired of walking, and ended up in a hallway rubbing her head while she sat.
"I just need to accept it, I am stuck with him and there is nothing I can do about it." Sighing heavily. "It fucking easier said than done though."
Tina slowly got up and made it into her bedroom, before laying down in complete darkness to get rid of her headache that was cause by the head banging.
