Just to let you know that if Colossus has a accent, then I'm sorry, cos I don't know how to write it.
SMACK!!!!
Rogue's body hit the danger room wall. Being hit with one of the those weird metal tentacles was no fun at all, she decided as she stood dusting herself off. Turning she came face to face with a laser.
"Ahh. . .. .shit!!" Rogue knew that she didn't have enough time to move, and that it was going to sting like a bitch. Closing her eyes, she braced herself for the impact, which never came. Opening her eyes Rogue came face to face with a wall of moving metal.
"Thanks Colossus" grinned Rogue, staring at the Russian giant.
"Your welcome." replied Colossus.
"Hey, tin man, throw me" ordered Wolverine, appearing out of nowhere.
"Pardon?" asked Colossus confused.
"Throw me, bub." repeated Wolverine
"Da. ok," Colossus agreed. "What at?"
"The big ass laser in the middle. That thing has shot me at least four times so far." Wolverine growled, glaring up at it. The laser itself was situated in the middle of the danger room. It looked like a huge giant floating sphere, shooting multiple lasers. "Do it now, tin man."
"Da, comrade." colossus grabbed Logan's shoulder and leg, lifting him up and spinning him, before hurling Logan towards the laser.
"That's move goin' t' need a name, mon ami" Gambit was casually leaning against the wall. He had obviously seen the whole thing. "Ya, ok Chere?"
"Ah'm fahne, Swamp rat" Rogue stared at him, wondering how he could stay so calm, around all this chaos.
"Jus' asking Chere, ya hit de wall sorta hard."
"Simulation executed" Commanded an electronic voice. All the laser and obstacles disappeared as if they had never been there.
"Chuck! What the hell! Why the fu-hell did you stop the exercise." Roared Logan, staring up at the control room.
"Because, Logan." Xavier's voice echoed through the circular room. "the new instructors have arrived. Everyone you have 20 minutes, meet us in my study."
"I thought that the instructors had arrived this morning." stated Ray. Ever since Apocalypse, six months ago. Logan had changed the danger room sessions around, so it was right after school. Also they had individual sessions, to focus on their particular power. These sessions were on Roster and always happened after dinner.
"No, there was a flight delay, they actually arrived an hour ago. But seeing as you were only in the first fifteen minutes of your session. I decided that it would be best to leave you for a while." explained Xavier. "Now, as I said before you have 20 minutes." the x-men quickly filtered out of the danger room, with Logan growling about cutting the session short.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kitty phased through the wall, taking a few short cuts to get to the Professors study. She was the last one out of the locker room. Kitty knew that the Professor wouldn't start the introductions without everyone present, and it was unfair to keep everyone waiting. Sometimes she really wished that she wouldn't take so long in the shower but she always did.
"Katya" Kitty turned to see Piotr looking at her amused.
"Hi, Piotr." Kitty blushed, ever so slightly at the fact she was in his presence. Ever since she had come to the realization that her feelings for him were more than friendship, she had developed a habit of blushing in his presence. It wasn't obvious, just a slight darkening of the cheeks, but Rogue and Kurt had noticed and teased her mercilessly about it. "Your, like running, late too?"
"Da" he smiled at her. "Bobby, thought it would be funny to hide my jeans."
Kitty's blush darkened. "That, like, Bobby, is like, totally, like an idiot." Kitty, also noticed that whenever she in his presence, her 'like' and 'totally' doubled, this really only happened when she was nervous.
"Da, he is, Katya" Piotr grinned. "it is almost a shame that he will be sleeping on the floor tonight."
"The floor?"
"Well, unless he wants to sleep outside. As his bed will be in the middle of the garden."
"How, like are you going to like mange that?" Kitty questioned, smiling at the mental picture of Bobby, when he found out.
"Kurt." explained Piotr as an explanation. Ever since he had come to the institute, Piotr and the furry, blue elf had become fast friends. With Piotr more than willing to help Kurt with his art work. While Kurt returned the favour, by pulling pranks on Bobby, for Piotr.
" So do you, like wanna, take like a shortcut." Kitty offered her hand. Piotr smiled, and accepted the offer, gently holding her hand. Kitty, quickly looked away, knowing that her blush had darkened even more. "Hold on" she stepped through the wall, pulling Piotr along.

Sam, fidgeted on the armchair waiting for the last X-men to arrive. He couldn't stay still for very long, a result of extra energy built up from his mutation. Looking around, he realized the that the only two missing were Kitty and Piotr. He had a feeling that Piotr, running late was a result of Bobby. It seemed that Piotr was the target of the month. Sam shook his head, Bobby was sometimes so stupid, he had clearly overlooked the fact that Piotr was very good friends with Kurt, the other resident trickster. As for Kitty, well she was a girl. And a girly one at that, so no wonder she was running ever so slightly late.
Sighing, Sam turned his attention to the five people standing opposite the x-men. The others, were mostly shooting them quick glances, assessing them, except Bobby who was almost drooling over the young model looking Asian women, who sat calmly in her seat, she was gazing around the room, with a mild fascination, clearly ignoring Bobby, and his drooling. On the sofa next to her was man, tanned skin and dark hair, he was lean, athlete build. On his right, sat a women, tanned skin and dark hair, she looked very similar to the man that she was sitting next to. Sam guessed that they were probably related, either cousins or siblings, too much alike and close in age to be anything else. The other two were standing behind the sofa, quietly conversing. The female's pale ivory skin, and dark hair, made her seem slightly ghost like. While the man, was of African descent and built like a tank, he probably gave Logan a run for his money.
Xavier's voice stopped Sam's trail of thought. "Now that everyone has arrived, we can begin."
Sam gazed shifted to the right where Kitty and Piotr were standing, holding hands.
"Like sorry Professor." panted Kitty, still out of breath from the mixture of using her powers and running, as well as pulling Piotr along.
"It's quite alright." Xavier reassured her, turning to the new instructors, he nodded his head signaling him to begin.
"I'm Elizabeth Braddock." smiled the Asian women, her purple hair a clear give away that she was a mutant. "but call me Betsy luvs."
The man next to her spoke up. "My name is Jean-Paul Beaubier, and this this is my sister, Jeanne-Marie." his sister smiled warmly at the x-men.
"Lucas Bishop." said the man built like a tank, standing behind the others.
"Tessa Fox." said the ghost-like women, her voice sounded strangely monotone.
Chuck Logan projected, we got to introduce ourselves?
No, don't worry, I told who you all were before you arrived, Xavier projected this to everyone in the room.
"Now, all the new mutants, can go and get ready for dinner." Xavier declared, now that the introductions were over.
"Amara, Rahne," Storm spoke up, "Would you please make sure that the young ones have done their homework and are ready for dinner?" she requested.
"Sure Storm." replied Amara exiting the room with Rahne.
"Well now that we're all here, I thought we could run through a few things before dinner."
Xavier started. "First our new arrivals will be attending missions as active x-men, but there is a catch." Turning to address the new instructors. "Now, you'll be required to attend the group danger room sessions, if you want to participate in group missions."
"Fine by me, been wanting to see if this danger room of yours, lives up to all the hype." Bishop spoke up, grinning ever so slightly.
"Just me, it does." replied Jean.
""specially when Logan changes it protocols without tellin' anyone." Rogue growled. Remembering a few days ago, when she and Kitty couldn't end a simulation on voice command, resulting in Kitty being knocked out, and Rogue having to borrow her powers to phase them through a wall to get out.
"You still ain't forgiven be for that yet then, stripes." grinned Wolverine.
"Ya tryin' bein' hit over th' head with a baseball bat and see if ya like it." she retorted.
"Enough, you two. Kitty, Rogue, please take Betsy to her room. Jean could you show Jeanne-Marie to hers. Storm please show Tessa to hers." Xavier turned to the boys. "Scott, could you show Jean-Paul to his' and Kurt, Piotr could you take Bishop to his room" everyone began exiting the room.
Once alone Xavier sighed, what was he getting himself into, opening the world's first ever mutant boarding school. He stared out of the window and shook his head, it was hard to believe that in a little over three months, 198 students would be learning here. With the instructors teaching them everything from mutant political studies to how photosynthesis occurs to the easiest and fastest way to destroy a sentinel. Well, Charles mused at least they won't be complaining about how boring school is.
