It has been a few days since he came back, still most of the students didn't know and he wanted to surprise them. He had a talk with some Cable guy as he told him, that he really needed to train the students, and so he was going to do that today. His new visor from Cable, that helped him with much more stuff.
When he entered the Danger Room he was going to do something that was survival. They needed to control their powers, work as a team and really need to focus on it. If Cable didn't lie, then these students weren't ready and should become now. So he waited for the students to arrive.

Kitty zipped the front of her suit to her neck and stared at her reflection. It was strange, to be walking out into the Danger Room and see Scott all suited up, ready to teach. Part of her preferred it the other way, when he was gone. Not because she didn't like Scott, she loved him like an older brother, but because she'd started to get used to the hole his presence gone had left her. What if he was taken away again? She'd have to start all over again to get over it.
Her sigh echoed in the empty locker room and she stepped through the door and out into the large metal room. She was an X-Man for a reason, and unlike most of the students, she practiced in the Danger Room every day. Keeping herself in peak condition made her feel more in control of things. The Professor had not made her an X-Man for no reason, he'd thought she was ready. So she should him that she was just that. Everyone took her for a gentle and careful girl, but she was determined to begin to show them just how strong she'd gotten since working so hard lately. And she wanted to impress Scott as her mentor. It was imperative to her that her work paid off and he saw the difference in her. Even now, without working on anything but approaching him, her jaw was set in determination, her walk was more of a stride, ready to take on whatever she had to. Her fists clenched and unclenched at her sides as she joined Scott.
"Ready for class, Mr. Summers." She nodded once to him, standing at the ready for the rest of the students to join. She had always had a knack for being slightly early, being ten minutes early every time showed she was a head of her schedule and eager to learn.

John wore an outfit much like Iceman's but his was made of very conductive material. He looked at himself in the mirror. He was sitting down on a bench. He loved the thrill of fighting. But that was what scared him. God, did it scare him sometimes. He often wondered would he be able to stop. When he got into a fight sometimes he became a monster, as uncontrollable as the Hulk. John let out a deep breath. ~Alright. Let's do this~ John stood up with a smile of on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he loved the thrill. He smiled as he entered the danger room. He hadn't seen Scott in a long time and it was quite refreshing to see him back. Although, he always wondered if something would happen again. Well, he was here for now and that was all that mattered. He smiled when he saw Kitty. She was definitely...interesting. His smile got a bit wider as some inappropriate thoughts came to his mind. He blushed, he had Grace. "Hey Kitty, let's do this why don't we? Ready, Mr.Summers?"

Zack was running late. He was in his room. ~Damn it~ He paused for a second then smiled. ~I really am an idiot~ He walked over to the shadow created by the window and sunk into it. He reappeared outside the Locker Room door from the shadow it created. He ran in and got his costume. It resembled that of Iceman and John's outfit except his was almost pure black. He got his costume and ran outside, sinking into the Shadow outside the door. Whilst in the Shadow World he put on his outfit, as time wasn't really a factor there. He reappeared behind Kitty, emerging from her Shadow. He smiled as he spoke. "Hey, Kitty." He stepped back and cracked his neck. "Ready to go, Mr. Summers?"

Kitty heard the door to the men's locker room open and turned to see John stride out. His obvious nervous blush made her smile with interest. Why was he blushing to see Scott? She pondered a moment before realizing something she didn't quite understand: Was it for seeing her?
"Hey Kitty, let's do this why don't we? Ready, Mr.Summers?" John asked, his body looked filled with eagerness like Kitty's.
"Hey," she smiled and placed her hands on her hips, thinking absently as she waited for Scott's response. Didn't John have Grace? She risked another glance at him and turned away, inspecting Scott's outfit with new interest, anything but looking at John now. She had Pete, though he'd been rather sparse around the mansion lately. So, why was John looking at her so? Guys seemed to really start acting strangely around her lately.
Just then, she felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. Someone was close, she whipped around, poised crouched and ready, fists raised but just as she did, her shadow seemed to move and take on its own life, raising and becoming another student. Whom apparently knew her name and she didn't know him. She took a breath as he said "hello" and she stood relaxed again. Kitty was too on edge for her own good.

Scott looked to Kitty as she entered. His sister figure just stepped into the room as he looked to her. He smiled as he walked slowly to her. "You might think it is strange, I know you saw me before one of these days, but I am here again for you Kitty."He said as he gave her a quick hug.
Scott didn't like the fact that people missed him, but he hated it more that, people couldn't change that he was back. He didn't like the fact about that, but he shaked that off. He saw some other students join as he looked to them.
"If I remember it well, John right?"He asked as he looked to him. If he remembered he could control electricity. Zack entered later as he saw him appearing in shadows.
"We aren't going yet students, we will wait for the rest until we can go further."He said as he looked around waiting for the rest of the students.

Kitty smiled as Scott hugged her. It felt...so very comforting. She had missed his hugs. It was him she always went to with things before. She'd finally gotten used to bottling it up when he'd returned. It was strange to stare at his grave stone for so long only to have him here in front of her, it shook her to her core. Scott was her big brother and she'd always loved to watch he and Jean together, it had made her happy. But after awhile, it stung. She'd been overlooked by every male in the entire Mansion, they all went after Rogue. She had been forgotten, though lately nearly every one of them was looking at her now. And she had no idea what to do.
She stood next to Scott, nudging him lightly and whispering between just them. "I need to talk to you, whenever you're free." She murmured quietly.

Scott hold the hug as he looked to her. The memories came back as they always did that. She was his little sister and he could always help her. Ok she could help him too, but that was different. He didn't mind it, she was a nice girl, that really liked to help. It must have been terrible for her to see his gravestone every time, or at least that I wasn't there to hold her. Scott thought as he looked to her again.
When other students entered he let her go, as he heard the whisper. He whispered back to Kitty as he looked to her. "I will be free after class."

She nodded slowly and shoved the memory of seeing that stone so many times from her head. She'd fallen asleep against it nearly every night for weeks until she'd begun to get nightmares about it so strong she woke in a cold sweat. Seeing the stone both meant he was with her and he wasn't. Both truths that helped and stabbed her. That stone had been cold, hard, but Scott was not. He was warm and loving. And she'd missed him dearly.
He was the only one that could make sense of the world when no one else could. He'd held her so close when things went wrong, but when Jean had died...he'd locked himself in his room. She'd phased in once and saw him asleep on his bed, knowing he hadn't slept in weeks, she left him be. And after that, he had vanished to Alkali Lake. She cursed herself, she should have woken him, been with him, tried to help and offer her love to help him get over Jean. But she hadn't.
Kitty stepped away from Scott and stood a few feet from the gathering group, trying to shove the memories into the box in her mind and lock it tight.

Zack looked over at Kitty. He was silent as the students entered. But his eyes were on Kitty, transfixed. He couldn't help himself...He sighed, waiting. ~Get a hold of yourself. You can't be with her. You're a freak, bro.~ Zack shivered. Why was it so cold? He felt a sudden urge to call forth Grim...He wanted to hold the sleek black scythe in his hands. He wanted to feel it with his fingers. He clenched his fists. No! He wasn't going to give in. He was control here and no one else. Zack closed his eyes once more...One thought was on his mind...~Kitty.~

Scott looked to the group as he then looked to Kitty who nodded. He gave a soft smiled as he looked to the group. Most of them aren't ready, Cable wanted me to train them but if it is really going to happen, then these wouldn't be ready, most of them wouldn't. Scott thought as he looked to a young boy, that got behind Kitty the last time. "Zack could you please, stop thinking out of your mind and focus on the lesson."He said as he looked to him. "If this was a real lesson and it would be in real life, you could have been death right now."He said.
"All eneter the Danger Room, we are going to do the Survival Training."He said. "It will be much and many times harder as you all will be trained under my training level."He said as he put it on 8. He then entered the Room as he looked around, the room changing into the Apocalypse stage as it was a terrible sight. He fought or met Apocalypse once, and now he was doing it all again in the training room. He waited to see how the students handled the army of Apocalypse,

Kitty nodded to herself. Focus. She had to focus. That was simple, forget herself, forget what problems she had as Kitty and become Shadowcat. She was an X-Man. And she would not forget that fact. Scott was here, it was time to begin to prove herself. The Apocalypse, something they all had to face. It was the worst scenario next to a personal attack on someone that could be run through.
Kitty tugged her yellow gloves back into place, ready to go. She just wanted to fight, to forget, to fight off that wave of pain that came crashing toward her. So much to deal with, so many questions and so few answers. Yet the answers that did come brought on worse questions that she didn't want to face. She didn't want to face herself.

Zack's eyes darkened at Scott's choice of words. Zack was far from scared of dying. After all, so many nights did he die. Death visited him in his sleep, conversing with him. So why would he be afraid of seeing her again. His dark eyes narrowed at Scott for a quick second but not long enough for him to notice. A Dark Shadow loomed over Zack as he walked up to a student. Kamikaze rose forth from the student's shadow and Zack snatched the Gray Scythe. He was no longer Zack but a Shadow of what he had been. He was now Reaper, an agent of Death with Darkness at his command. Any soft touches in his eyes were gone, filled with cold Darkness. His body urged to summon Grim, to become one with the beautiful black Scythe, But he would not. He would not let the Darkness eat him so much. No matter how small, he resisted.

John smiled. He was ready. He was ready to quench the thirst that raged inside him. He needed to destroy something and now he was going to. Lately he'd been feeling pent up and restrained. He figured it was a side affect of his powers. If he didn't release energy then he became pent up and stiff. But now was his chance. He hoped the opponents wouldn't be Sentinels. But if they were, there had better be a lot of them. Sentinels were too easy for John, as long as they were made with metal and ran on electricity, they were useless against him. His eyes turned a crystalline Ice Blue and his hair spiked up a bit as electricity crackled through it. He cracked his neck. John had long been gone. In his place stood Volt, The Lightning Beast and The Lightning King.
