Angelica, Peter, Dani, Monet
Angelica flew into the air, as their surrounds started to change. Peter stood ready to fight, as did Dani, who was also looking around for the targets. She, like most other times, was given the leadership position. She didn't mind. She just thought that someone else should be given a go. She couldn't see the potential in herself, that Xavier could.
Dani turned to the left, to see a map.
"Capture the Flag!" the monotone female voice of the Danger Room said.
Dani looked at the map & decided in an instant waht to do.
"Angelica, you will go aerial with me while Peter, you will use your speed & stealth to get there. Do not fight unless necessary. This is capture the flag remember. We'll take the roof of the building, while you take the best entrance. From the map, the back door looks the best. Then we'll need you to make a distraction so we can make our way there. If any guards, take them down. If they attack, retalliate. Okay, lets do it!" Dani commanded with confidence. She may have been feeling bad lately, but when it came down to it, she knew what to do, how to do it & when to do it.
Angelica lifted Dani into the air, as Peter prepared to make his way toward the building the flag was in.
"And remember," Dani added, "This is being timed. And make sure no civilians are hurt!"
With that, Angelica & Peter started to make their way to the building. Once of the roof, Dani laid out the game plan to Angelica.
"Stealth tactics all the way. Its dark in there, so I want you to create some sort of light in there. Just as long as we know whats in there." Dani said, peering into the window on the roof.
"No probs. Hey, how sweet would this be if it were real!" Angelica said with a smile.
"I suppose. If there weren't real people involved. Maybe we can be secret agents?" Dani said with a smile as she opened the window.
Angelica created a dim light with her power, lighting up the room. Empty. She lowered Dani & herself into the room. And looked around.
"Flag is that way" Dani said & pointed to the door ahead of her. Suddenly she heard a ruckus from downstairs. The firing of guns. The sounds of ricochets of metal. It was Peter.
"He's doing well." Dani said.
She made her way to the door quickly, Angelica floated behind her. They snuck out the door & heading towards the room holding the flag. As they neared the door, Dani heard a yell from behind her & saw Coloussus running towards them.
"Get it!" he screamed, & Dani & Angelica turned to run towards the Flag. They ran into the room to find themselves in a room surrounded by armed soldiers, most guarding the flag. Coloussus ran in after them & closed the door, blocking the pursueing soldiers from entering.
"Get it!" he screamed but Dani had other ideas.
She started to concentrate. The Danger Room gave each image of a soldier its own fear, making Dani able to use her power. She showed them their greatest fears & dreams, making them lose concentration. Thats when she was about to strike, but her images started to take physical form & start to do what they were doing in the vision. Abusive fathers started attacking their sons; men started to find spiders crawling all over them. All the soldiers feel to the floor, leaving the flag wide open for them to capture. Once Dani placed her hands on the flag, the simulation ended & the room returned back to normal. v She turned to see Xavier wheeling himself into the room with Monet behind him. He looked straight at Dani & smiled.
"You are showing great progress Danielle. I have to express how pleased I am with you today. You have not only overcome your recent bout of depression caused by you growing powers, but also have shown your are starting to be able to control them" Xavier said, smiling at Dani.
Dani looked at Angelica, & smiled happily & Angelica smiled back. Angelica was mainly happy that Dani had been able to get over the feelings she had, caused by that night at Haven. Dani then looked at Monet, who seemed furious.
"You may all leave now" The Professor said. Everyone walked out the room. As Dani exited the door, she heard Xavier say into her mind "Logan would like to see you Dani" & then he rolled past her, looking at her & smiling as he passed.
Dani couldn't believe it. "Why would he want to see me?" she asked herself, and made her way to the main hall, hoping to find him there.
Logan
Logan uncoiled himself from the chair he was sitting in as he saw Dani enter the room. Nyx followed his line of sight. She nodded. "Another one for the extra training?"
"Straight martial arts. She ain't ready for you and Spike yet." Logan looked at Nyx. She reached up and kissed his cheek.
"Such a flatterer."
"Yeah, well. See ya, babe." He kissed her a bit more firmly then she had him and then walked over to Dani. "Hi, kid."
Dani
"Uh...hi." Dani said nervously & then remember who it was. It was Wolverine. The Logan!! She had always been so afraid of him for some unknown reason, so she figured, he'll sense it. So she straighted up her back, lifted her head & put her out out for him to shake.
"I'm Danielle Moonstar. You can call me Dani if you like." she said confidently & with a smile.
Logan
Logan shook her hand. "Wolverine...call me Logan." The corner of his mouth twitched upwards. A slight smell of fear to her, yet she was standing up and looking him in the eye. Good for her then. "Or you can just call me sensei. The prof wants me to take you on for a extra round of martial arts."
Dani
"Yep! I'm taking this One Hundred Percent seriously, so i'll call you Sensei. I don't like not knowing how to defend myself if my powers ever stop or whatever. You know what I mean? You also train two of my friends, Johan & Doug." Dani said trying to make conversation.
Logan
"Yeah, they're good kids." Logan looked at her seriously. "If I train ya, ya learn. I don't pull my punches that much, and I don't expect ya to either. I can take whatever ya want to dish out and more. If ya manage to break one of my bones during sparring, I'll take ya out and buy ya a drink. That's on the table with all of my students."
Dani
Dani laughed. "Is that a challenge or a statement Mr Logan? Oops, sensei...heh"
She watched his face to see what his reaction would be. Would he laugh? Smile? Get pissed off?
Logan
Logan smiled almost grimly. "Both. And if you can manage to do it, I promise to buy you that drink. I don't welch on my promises. I'll see ya bright and early at 6:00. Meditation."
Dani
"Okay. Cool. I'll be there. Until then sensei." Dani said with a nod & walked away. The main thing on her mind was setting her clock. She didn't want to make a bad first impression on the first day or training.
