"Yea I bet, now that you mention it I am too." Michael and Justin walked through the hallways still talking about life before they were seperated. Some girls would giggle and smile as they past them. Michael and Justin were faternal but both shared good looks from their parents.
"What's a cerebro?" Michael thought out loud.
"Don't ask me." Justin replied laughing.
Michael made it to the kitchen, it was an hour or so before supper started but they decided to eat early anyway. As they sat eating Michael remembered the physical tests.
"O! Justin speaking of your fighting days in Charlette, they have a special room that lets you practice with your powers. I haven't been in there yet but maybe we could practice together."

"Awesome! I need a good workout. I haven't fought in a week." said Justin, "God this place is sweet."

"I know," Michael paused to remember the warm welcome he got when he first got here, "We should see if we can room together. Maybe I could ask Remy to switch rooms. Remy's cool he probably would. So how are your powers coming along?"

"Pretty good, I have complete control," said Justin, "but then again mine r pretty easy to get down, haha. How about you?"

"I've gotten good control, I haven't practiced that much since..." Michael stopped. He looked at Justin, Justin knew why he paused.

After showing Xavier and Jean the updates to Cerebro, Mark went to find Wolverine. After finding him, he proposed an idea.
"What have you got bub?"
"I can control computers, perhaps I could test out my skills on the Danger Room computer."
They went to the Danger Room, with Wolverine going through the course Mark set up. He came out of it with a few cuts and gashes but he healed up quickly.
"Pretty good kid, lets try something else."
They spent the next hour experimenting with the Danger Room, figuring out what worked and what didn't, giving Mark time to familiarize himself with the AI and the holographics. "Pretty good bub, I'll see if Wheels will let you use it on the new kids."
Mark went to dinner, not surprised to see Michael and Justin not there. With all of the weirdness around here I wouldn't be surprised if he got a little disoriented. I know I did. It's insane around here.
Wolverine was talking to Xavier.
"Hey Wheels, you should see what the kid can do with the Danger Room. He's got potential. Maybe he could give the Shepard kids the introductory training course? He can make it a lot harder than I can. Of course, I don't use holograms either."
"Yes, I think that's a good idea. It will give them a chance to bond. I fear that with Michael's unique side effect of his powers, he's going to need all the support he can get."
"You think the kid's dangerous?"
"No, I'm just saying we should be careful. People with such extreme powers sometimes have issues."
"I know where you're coming from bub. I still can't remember much of what those SHIELD guys did to me, just that I killed a lot of people I shouldn't have. I'll keep an eye on the kid."
"Thank you Logan."
"No problem, Wheels."

Michael and Justin walked through the mansion. Michael saw Mark looking rather excited and hurried.
"Hey Mark what's going on?" Michael asked. Mark looked over and smiled.
"Hey guys follow me, we have something to show you." Mark said motioning down the hall.

They followed Mark into a large room with panels on the wall and a viewing area up top. Logan came out of the elevator to the viewing area and Mark took it up.
"What's going on? Who is this?" Justin asked.
"My name is Logan, but you can call me Wolverine. This is the Danger Room. It's where you'll be using your powers for combat simulation. I would have rather done this outside but Mark has something for you once he gets set up."
As Logan said that the whole room seemed to change at once, all of the sudden there were trees, grass, wildlife, and even a sky around them.
"What happened?" Michael asked, looking at Justin.
"I didn't do it." Justin replied.
"Don't worry about it kids, it's all holograms, but they can hurt you, so be careful. You're objective is to infiltrate the facility due East of your current location, capture the flag, and bring it back here. There will be obstacles on the way. Keep an eye open for the unexpected." Logan looks up to where the control room would be if they could still see it and shouts, "Go ahead and fire it up kid, start them out on level 2."
Mark concentrates, sending small projectiles after the Shepards. That should keep them busy.

Michael turned and saw small rockets flying towards them. Michael lifted his hand, the nearest rocket lost its power and collided with the ground. Michael clenched his fist, brought his hands back, and pushed out with the energy. The remainging rockets collied with the force and blew up a safe distance away. Michael looked over at Justin and nodded.

"Nice job, bro," said Justin smiling, "Just leave some for me next time."

Michael smiled, "Can't promise that," Michael taunted running ahead of Justin. They ran in unison.
"Ok we need a plan to get into the place, we cant just charge in. I can tell it wont be that easy."

They hear a voice that seemingly comes out of nowhere. It's Mark. "It looks like you guys are having too much fun. Looks like it's time to knock it up a notch."
With that they hear a roar, as a giant T-Rex starts running towards them. They also see a horde of pterodactyls soaring overhead, coming down to attack.
This holographic imagery system is awesome! I wonder what else I can do with it...

Michael smiled, "Well I guess we'll be well prepared when the army of dinosaurs tries to take over the world." Michael said sarcastically. Michael motioned at Justin. Justin ran and jumped in front of Michael. Michael gathered energy and pushed it against Justin's back sending him into the air. Justin collided with a pterodactyl, dissappeared and took out another one.
MIchael focused on the T-rex. He took the energy pulsing through its giant leg muscles, and gathered it, making the energy lock in place above his knuckles. Michael ran over to the collapsed T-rex and punched it with the energy making full contact with the beasts skull.

Darn, that didn't work.
Wolverine walks into the control room. "Looks like the kids are good. I've got an idea."
As Justin and Michael finish up with the dinosaurs, about 20 rabid wolves circle around them from every direction, cutting off any escape.
"Nice bub, but I was thinking something more like this." Wolverine goes to one of the consoles and types in something, pulling up a preset program.
Michael and Justin see the wolves and are ready to attack when they whimper and run away, almost as if they are scared of something. The sky turns dark and they look up to see a battalion of giant robots flying in to their position.
Cool, he started up the Night of the Sentinels program. This should be fun to watch.
"Good one Logan, but are you sure they can handle it? That's about a level 20 program."
"Don't worry, they can take care of themselves."

"Let's go." Justin said. He dissappeared and reappeared in the sky. He started taking on the sentinels. Michael watched There's gotta be some way for me to get up there! Michael re membered the energy floating in his palm. Michael gathered the energy he had remaining and put all its force toward the ground. He lifted slowly, Michael place a hand behind and took off up toward the senitnels. It took up lots of energy but he made it to the sentinels, landing on one he punched into its head. He grabbed the wires and absorbed the power inside.
Justin teleported a sentinel into a tree and dissappeared before it collided. Michael jumped into the air and hovered. He took the immense energy from the sentinel, and sent it around two of the sentinels. They crumpled as the energy pushed in around them. Michael allowed himself to float to the ground. He watched as justin fought the last two sentinels.
