The door opened to a large circular room. If I had to guess I'd say that the radius was about a hundred yards and the ceiling was about ten feet up. I was sensing a trend with all of the circles and chrome.
There wasn't much that was dangerous about this room I mean come on it was a circular prism. I walked to the center of the room not noticing that grid-like lasers were following me. when I reached the approximate center of the room I turned around slowly, trying to decern what was so dangerous.
When my eyes passed the halfway point on the wall I finally saw the laser grid. It startled me and I jumped into a different laser behind me. When I did the danger room doors closed and all the lights shut off.
"Shit!" The lights turned a deep red and i saw several large humanoid figures. "Shit!"
I crouched hoping that what ever the hell these things were they weren't smart enough to know that i had no clue as to what I was doing.
I sensed movement behind me and jumped down and to my right as the humanoid behind me slashed from top right to bottom left. I landed in front of another which chopped downward with both hands. I placed both of my feet on its shins and pushed back toward the center of the room. Apparently I did have some sort of idea of what I was doing as I dodged the Humanoids for a good half hour. I was starting to get cocky when i got slammed in the back by a humanoid I wasn't watching. Goddamn did that hurt! It drove the breath from my lungs but I couldn't stop because the more tired I got the more these humanoids fought harder. I couldn't stop dodging because I knew these things would not stop trying to kill me. I just knew it.
So I kept going. I had no clue how to fight nor did I even know if I could even do anything to these guys. I was getting very tired very quickly. I was reaching my limit and I was going to hit it like a wall. I needed to find some way to stop these things. That would mean going on the offensive, which 1) I wasn't good at 2) I didn't even know if it would work and 3) I probably shouldv'e done half an hour ago when I wasn't exhausted.
I jumped up and backward as the humanoid in front of me swiped downward with both hands. It hit the ground hard enough to break the ground cause its hands to get stuck. I used his hands and arms as a ramp up to his head. Standing on the shoulders of this thing I had maybe half a second before it got its hand free. I crouched down and held onto the head with my left arm for balance as I aimed as many punches as I could at its neck. After four or five hits the humanoid started to fall and I quickly jumped to the next to do the same thing to its buddies.
After ten minutes I was surrounded by fifteen unconscious humanoids. The lights went back to normal and all the bodies vanished when the final body hit the floor. The door opened to a very surprised Logan, Jean and Professor Xavier. There was also a few new people I hadn't yet met. A woman with shoulder length snow white hair and a tall guy with the coolest sunglasses I had ever seen.
"Hi," pant pant, "How's it goin'?"
I passed out. Honestly I'm surprised I didn't pass out sooner.
I woke up in the medical ward again. Only this time I didn't have nearly the amount of sensors. Thank goodness.
Jean Grey was staring at me as though I shouldn't exist. Logan, Snowy hair, and the guy with glasses all looked impressed. I couldn't place Charles' expression. He had his hands in his lap and a perfectly blank expression on his face. I didn't know how old he was but I could see all the lines of his face with absolute clarity.
"You keep surprising me son." He said. "The Danger Room was designed to give the premium training relative to the strength, speed and intelligence of the person or people that entered the room."
"So if a very weak, quick guy walks in the room he'll get weak quick opponents?"
"They would get a challenge equivalent to their skill set, yes."
"Then why did I get fifteen strong, slow guys?"
Logans jaw dropped. "You thought they were slow? Kid I couldn't even see them! Let alone you!"
Now I was confused. "What do you mean Logan?"
"Follow me! Charles is there a way to show him what we saw?"
"No there isn't but we can show his relative ability levels."
Logan and Charles led me to the door to the Danger Room. There Logan touched a panel on the wall which then lowered revealing a touch screen. Logan touched it a few times causing it to show different things. when he finally stepped away from the screen to show me what it showed. In the top left was "Blackstone,David" and going to the right was "Speed, Reflexes, Strength" and few more labels. Underneath each label was a column with numbers along each side.
"The top of each column is the best the Danger Room can handle." I looked at each of the columns. "Your speed and reflexes are maxed out." I couldn't tell where they stopped so i guess that was true. "Your strength and intelligence aren't maxed out but they do surpass the regular standards for someone your age weight and build. At least once the test began the Danger Room doesn't start measuring until the door closes. And it stops once the doors open again."
"Kid you were moving and reacting fast enough that the Danger Room couldn't keep up with you!"
"What does that even mean? I have no clue how fast you have to move to do that!"
"The Danger Room can keep up with an object that moves at five times the speed of sound."
