Chapter 2: Debriefing
By LinandraEvergreen
Mayhem had taken over inside the danger room. As it was the first day back and indeed the first day ever at the Xavier Institute for the new recruits, most of the students hadn't gotten chance to learn control over their powers. Thus, when the panels on the walls of the danger room had slid back to reveal huge lasers, panic ensued. As it was only level one, the older x-men paid little heed to the lasers, indeed they found themselves more concerned about being hit by one of the younger students.
'Like, do you mind?' Kitty snapped as a one ran right through her, shivering in the process. The boy turned around, terrified expression on his face 'I...I'm sorry' he stuttered not concentrating on the 6 feet tall laser behind him. 'Hey! Watch it!' Scott yelled him. Too late the boy noticed. Scott rolled his eyes.
"Madrox, yer out" Logan's voice echoed around the room. The boy, still shaking, walked to the exit. A relieved expression on his face
"Evan? You come with Storm today?" Bobby slid down to where Evan was lazily letting his spikes loose on oncoming lasers.
"Aunty O? Nah, she's not arriving for a couple days anyway. Some top-secret work or something like that".
They both ducked as several balls of lava flew over their heads, straightening up it was clear who caused them. A young girl with long brown hair and matching brown eyes groaned "sorry, I can't help it"
All the new recruits save some of the braver ones failed to make it further than the first level, and the ones who did, didn't last long there. Soon enough only the older X-men remained
"Zey barley made eet to level two! Any bets on just ow angry Logan vill be?" Kurt vanished as a laser shot at him
Scott sighed "Really not the time Kurt" he spun around shooting down a laser that had come up behind him
Bamf! Kurt appeared above him "Vhy? Zis is still level 3 isn't eet! Zon't vorry chief, nothing can touch zee fuzzy one"
"Kurt!" Jean had just glanced over to where he was standing
Another laser had emerged from the floor right behind where Kurt was perched.
Scott groaned.
"Like Kurt, maybe you should join the new recruits training" Kitty laughed hysterically as Kurt stomped out the door.
Scott blasted through a laser aiming down at him and looked over to where Kitty was still laughing "Watch out Kitty!"
The same laser that had hit Kurt only moments earlier shot directly at her
It was Kitty's turn to groan "Like are you serious?" and with that, she stomped out of the room after Kurt.
"Right, lets move up to level four... Or is that too much for you ladies?" Logan's words were dripping with sarcasm.
"Lets try not to do anything stupid, Ok?" Scott looked around at the three other remaining X-men.
"Man, sensible is my middle name" Bobby straightened himself up
Jean raised her eyebrow wondering whether Scott's words were also aimed at her.
You especially he winked before turning around to face the oncoming attack
Behind him, Jean stuck out her tongue
"For God's sake Grey" Up in the control room Logan was loosing what little patience he had left
Ten minutes later and a heated argument between Evan and Bobby, Scott and Jean found themselves the last remaining students in the danger room. After they'd demolished a number of the Professors lasers, Logan's voice growled out through the speakers, all patience obviously gone
"That's it. Debriefing in five" and with that the lasers returned to behind the panelling and the lights went up.
"This should be fun" Scott muttered
