The morning after the mission, all of the new students - Lacy, Riley, Shade, Devon - as well as students their age such as Kitty Pride and Rogue were invited to a room they did not know well. When asking for directions, Nightcrawler remarked: 'The Danger room? You'll have an exciting day." - as he pointed them to the room by vaulting through the air towards it, leading you on down the hall.
"Bobby still isn't feeling well." Kitty revealed with a frown. "He hasn't been able to manifest his powers."
"I hope he'll recover soon." Nightcrawler sympathizes, pausing before the door. "Here is your lesson. It will be exciting. Like nothing I'd ever done before. A miracle of science."

Riley followed and listened. He had dark brown hair now, but was still in loose clothing and looked fairly gender-neutral. He was excited about training with the others but also rather nervous. "So, why is it called the Danger room?"

Nightcrawler chuckles at Riley's question. "How about I show you? Walkinto the room. Its perfectly safe. I'll be in there in a minute." Nightcrawler waits for Riley to enter the room, then enters a past experience for himself. When he enters after Riley, he states: "This is what happened last time that I practiced here." The large blank room shimmered and a metal giant appeared. It was gray and purple. It was still for a moment, before it aimed a palm at Nightcrawler. "Its a Sentinel." Nightcrawler explained. "Designed to hunt mutants." Nightcrawler BAMFed as an energy cannon fired where he had been standing. As Nightcrawler re - appeared behind the machine, it vanished.

"Neat trick..." Devon said as she entered. Dark sunglasses covered her face and hit the fact that she hadn't slept all too well the night before.
She greeted Riley with a nod before she looked around the Danger Room. "It's called the Danger Room. But the danger is perfectly safe... Does that seem right to you?"

Shade watched the whole thing, trying to get a gauge on what was what. THe goggles helped a bit, but he supposed this was what they wanted. To see where he lacked.
That being said, he was more than capable of fixing the problem of 'too much light'. He just wasn't sure how that would work with the 'Danger Rooms' systems. Would the things he was fighting suddenly just...not be able to see?
He'd have to work on that. And he'd have to work on getting people to be able to work with him too. HOw that'd work, he had no idea.
But they'd do it.
"I saw...something." Thought it'd be neat to be able to do what Nightcrawler had just done.

Riley entered, as asked. He smiled and greeted Devon back, and even complimented her shades. He was very surprised, and also afraid at seeing the large sentinel. He quickly shifted back to a more feline state again, apparently hoping for enhanced reflexes to dodge any more blasts that come his way.
"How can the danger be safe? I don't think I could have any way of dealing with something like that, I usually just hide."

Hiding? Hiding hadn't down any of them any good. They had found Riley, and Shade. And Devon... well she still didn't know who had taken her or where she had come from before that. Maybe she had two loving human parents. Maybe her parents were dead. Maybe they didn't want her. Maybe they were just like the people that took her. Maybe they were mutants like her.... So many maybes. Devon didn't like maybes.
She also couldn't stand people that made everything sound like a question. But that was beside the point.
"Because nothing in here can kill you... And hiding didn't work out too well for you the last time. So this time, you learn to fight," Devon told Riley. She turned to Shade and grinned. "Ten bucks says I can take one of those energy blasts to the chest and walk away."
"I would rather you didn't test that out just yet," Storm's voice heralded her arrival. She smiled to the three students and Nightcrawler. "The Danger Room is design to train you; prepare you to defend yourselves."

"Exactly. I tried to hide last time, and they just flooded my hiding place with bright lights and blinded me. Then they drugged me and I woke up in a lab. A bright lab. Where I couldn't see."
Bastards.
"I know I can't. I'm kind of hoping for being able to break it's arm off before it can shoot." But he wasn't super-fast. He was just super-strong...and had uber-darkness stuff going on.
One wouldn't think it looking at him though. Shade was the epitome of 'Ice-Prince.' All blond and somewhat pale, with a delicately refined bone-structure and nearly perfect posture. Shade was definitely the sort of boy who would turn heads in a crowd. Even with the goggles on.
Learning how to defend themselves though? That would be a good thing. Definitely. "Can we learn how to actually fight? Like Normals do? I can bend the hell out of shadows, but I was never actually taught how to fight-fight. I just...improvised."

“This place sure brings back mem’ries.” Rogue stated as she entered the room. Her brunette hair was pulled back into a ponytail while the white locks hung down loose, framing her face. She looked tired and worn out, but seemed much more herself than she had been after being picked up by Storm.
“Ain’t no use in hidin’. You run or you fight.” Rogue told Riley with a smile, “I think learnin’ some hand to hand could do us all some good.” She smiled over at Shade.

"Yes, you can learn whatever you want here. Storm and the Professors are the embodiment of encouragement." Nightcrawler spoke with his heavy accent. "I'm not much for fighting." Kitty admitted. "But I'm getting better. We can learn together." A tentative smile as she looked between Riley and Devon, Rogue Shade.
"Security guards, Storm?"
Nightcrawler asked as he brought up the program. "3 Security guards? I'll set them for mild aggression with a 2 minute pause every 1 minute for instruction, if it please you."

Riley lowed his head a bit, surprised by Devon's direct way of telling him to learn to fight, he still seemed unsure."I don't think I could take on three guards at once. I mean, I know how to take down single targets, but with the element of surprise."
"..Then again, that lab did add significantly to the variety of my abilities." Riley smiled at the others, not wanting to disappoint.
