Nightingale has posed:
     Oh, there had been plenty of warning a few days before, when Shannon was the only one of the Troublemaker Twins to show up to the danger room training session with Logan. She knew what was coming. She knew there'd be trouble ahead, and frankly, she didn't seem to mind it one bit. At least this time, she was finally out of her sling.

     Poor Pixie, on the other hand, had no clue....

     Shannon's not in her 'bumblebees', but rather, the black bodysuit she'd worn on the evening of Superman's rescue. She's got her hair pulled back in a bun, and keeps her wings tucked in tightly behind her. It seems she's largely regained most of the range of motion in her arm, but for some minor stiffness. She's stretching out in the DR, waiting for Pixie and Logan to arrive....

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn has been rather anxious about a danger room session with Logan. She had heard the horror stories, seen the bruised and aching students stumbling out. She should be scared. But actually she was kinda looking forward to this, and was quite determined to improve her abilities..Let's just hope she survives this!

She is dressed in her bumblebees, and smiles and nods nervously to Shannon as she joins her. "Hiii Shannon! All ready? Where's Mister Logan?"

Wolverine has posed:
As the door to the Danger Room slides open, Logan waits. Dressed in his usual white tank top and blue jeans, sans boots this time. He holds a bottle of beer, hardly drank, in one hand and a lit cigar in his other. He was watching old games of the Flames before he was called to join a session. As he locks his gaze on the two girls he lifts the cigar to his lips before taking a loooong drag off it. As he blows the smoke out he speaks. "So we're doing this again? And I'm guessin' she didn't listen?" Logan says as he aims his comment to Shannon.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon chuckles softly and shakes her head, shrugging. "I tried to tell her it was going to be messy. But she insisted." She rubs her temples a little bit, with a light, somewhat wry smile at the grouchy Canuck. "Is this how you felt, trying to knock some sense into me the other day?"

She ruffles her wings slightly, just enough to dissipate some of the smoke, sending it swirling away on little wisps and whirls of breeze. "Guess she'll have to find out the hard way." The last with a positively devilish smile to Megan. Uh-oh.

Wolverine has posed:
As he walks in he places his beer, with e glass meeting metal clink,on the floor followed by putting out the cherry of his cigar on the floor next to the bottle. "Did I say that? No." He says till his gaze goes to Megan. "Just so ya know this isnt a regular session. Its a bit different and the others dont like me doing this." he tells the usually chipper girl. As he pads barefoot to the center of the room Logan points to the spot where he had Shannon stand last time. "You know the drill. No helping and no moving from that spot. Oh and did you bring a bucket for other umm 'fluids'?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn pouts, folding her arms, "Heey I thought we were here to learn, besides, how scary can he be?" she smiles innocently, clearly not sure what to expect, "So, what are we waiting for? Let's get this started!" she does quirk a curious brow at the spot he orders Shannon to move to, "Sooo what's the drill?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon knows the drill and just nods, pointing towards the doorway. Indeed, there are the necessary cleaning implements present, in profusion. Reaching over to Megan, she tugs on her hand, pulling her over to the side of the danger room, in the same spot she stood the last time. "The drill is to stay out of the way, for now."

Wolverine has posed:
Logan loosens up, rotating his arms, shoulders and neck. With a sigh he looks to the girls, then shakes his head. "Initiate: Circle of Pain, wait for start." Logan says looking up. Soon three rings appear on the floor around him. As they start to glow, Logan starts to psyche himself up, breathing heavily before his claws pop out with a SNIKT!.
"Go!"
From the edge of the outermost circle, ninjas dressed in red sleek out. Each of which hold a sword in hand. It takes a few moments before they completely encircle the man called the Wolverine. "Alright, lets dance." Amazingly as soon as he says this the room fills with music, Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, just as the ninjas attack.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks as she's tugged along by Shannon, "Err...What, are we playing dodgeball?" she laughs nervously, but follows Shannon..and then Logan initiates circle of pain and her eyes widen fearfully, "Okaay, that does not sound fun.." she pouts..

Oh wait are those like, ninja? Her frown deepens, glancing at Shannon, "We'll, maybe they're not like ninja level?" she laughs nervously, and her first instinct is of course to spread her wings and lift skyward, peering around. "Fine, we'll dance!" her wings flutter rapidly, creating more of that pink glitter, spreading out her arms as she attempts to shower as many ninja as she can with the hallucinogenic dust. "Eat this!"

Nightingale has posed:
     "PIXIE! NO!!!" Awww, hell's bells. This was NOT good. Shannon calls out a warning to Logan. "HEADS UP! She's dusting!" Hopefully that would be enough warning for him to get out of the way. The young healer in training grimaces, flexing her fingers. Yeah. This was going to be a busy afternoon. She tries to keep her nose and mouth covered, and not breathe in any of the pixie dust.

Wolverine has posed:
Now into his sixth ninja. Logan hears something which causes him to hesitate as see the cloud of dust coming his way. "Aw shit." Just as the dust hits him two swords are put through his back. "Gah!" He cant tell the program to end. He?s been his with stuff like this before. Make it hard for him to function right. As the artificial ninjas continue to stab him. There comes an animalistic roar from inside their ranks.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn was actually not informed ahead of time that the goal was to rescue, not defeat, Logan along with the ninjas. But with his super healing factor he should be able to take it. Hopefully at least some of the ninja are caught up in hallucinations and too confused to join the fight. Megan winces at the sight of the ninjas closet to Logan stabbing him and apparently unaffected by the dust.

"Tch, go figure.." she rolls her eyes, doing her best to glide over the ninja, trying to get closer to Logan..But not too close.lHe seems to be in a berserker rage now and that's not gonna be fun. "Okaay, then guess I'll focus on the ones not already stunned.." and she pulls out her soul dagger, stepping back defensively. and focusing on the nearest ninja, taking a swipe or two. These ninja are probably better fighters than her, but one stab is all she needs to knock em out.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Merde!" All bets were off. Shannon was /not/ about to stay in range of the pixie dust, or the ninjas who had been hit with the stuff. It was very possible they'd pick up on her as a target and that would be that. With a few strong downstrokes of her wings, she takes to the air and heads for the doorway. For a moment, it looks as if she might leave and not come back, especially when she takes the bucket with her.

     None of them inside the DR could be more wrong.

     Shannon does indeed return, lugging what looked to be a very full, very sudsy bucket into the air above the fray. "Think this would wash up some of the dust, Pixie?"

     And hopefully not make things worse on the ground in the process....

Wolverine has posed:
What was violent to start has become even more so as Logan continues to cut through his assailants. He?sgone through half of them by now. Little slower than usual. But he does have half a dozen swords sticking through him now.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks at Shannon, still thoroughly confused at what the actual goal of this session is. But Logan seems to be doing a good job of cleaning up the ninjas at least? She finds herself locked into combat with one of the remaining ninjas stabbing it with her dagger and letting it drop to the ground before turning on another. She's quite surprised at Shannon's bucket of soap and water.

"Why? I thought we wanted to turn them against each other..But maybe douse Logan with it before he turns on us? Now that he's taken out at least half if the bad guys..Assuming we actually *are* targeting the ninjas, we dont want him turning on us next.." she sighs and turns her eyes, what a mess but at least there's still a chance to use it to their advantage?

Nightingale has posed:
     Unfortunately, Shannon had not had a lot of weapons training other than the bo staff. There had been many a good sparring session by the lake over the past several months that covered some basic hand-to-hand, but let's face it--not everyone carried their own set of blades, ready to hands. She knew better than to test her skills against ninjas fighting at Logan's level. "He told me there'd be something in store for us but I sure didn't get a lot of specifics! Now let's just hope these yokels aren't packing any shurikens!"

     Unfortunately, that was a very real possibility. But maybe this would not only wash the pixie dust off of Logan, but level the playing field as well.

     Winging her way through the air till she's just above Logan, she calls down, "HEADS UP!", waits a three-count, and then... yep.

     Bath time.

     Suds and water -everywhere-. Maybe it might make things a bit difficult for Logan--but the playing field would be even. If he went slip-sliding--so would they.

Wolverine has posed:
A problem seems to be rising. Hes getting to the point where hes almost out of ninjas. And with him in full beast mode this could get troublesome. But thats until hearing a voice above him. With a snarl towards the flyer its clear Logan has left the building. That is until the water hits him causing him to sound like a drowning dog.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn flinches as she watches Shannon douse a berserker Logan, "Nice aim, now let's hope he's not too cranky to help us out?" she glances around, using her dagger to block another strike, wincing at the focus it takes to make her dagger solid. She's probably nit as good a fighter as the ninjas, although Illy's taught her a few tricks, and she has wings to her advantage which she uses to launch into the air again as a couple of ninjas rush at her pincer like. With a frown, she hurls her dagger at one of them, causing it to crumple to the floor, briefly stunned. She summons the dagger back, glancing around, fluttering higher into the air to assess the situation.

Wolverine has posed:
The water hit the Wolverine like a ton a brinks. Luckily he was breathing in at the time it his. Allowing his lungs to get a good amount of the bucket. It takes a few moments till a familiar voice returns "End!" yells a voice as it continues to cough up the water. At the sound of the gruff voice the rings, the ninjas, and all the swords sticking through Logan vanish. Good the dust wasnt too far in him and the water was fast thinking. With a few more coughs his eyes peer up to the two fliers. That look? He isnt angry, he just looks it.

Nightingale has posed:
     A deep sigh of relief escapes Shannon as she sees the bucket of sudsy water had the intended effect of shocking Logan out of his berserker state. With the program ended, she lands nearby, tucking her wings in neatly behind her. Even knowing his strong healing factor, she still stands ready to help if it turns out the water did more harm than good. "Welcome back," she says quietly, with a small smile. Motioning to Pixie, she smiles. "Everyone okay?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is breathing moderately, quite exhausted from taking on the few ninjas that were left after Logan's berserker rage. "Phew, that was quite the workout, just a few scrapes and bruises for me.." one ninja gave her a pretty bad shoulder wound and a few bruises, but she won't know how severe til she checks the damage underneath, "I'll live, how are you two?" she bites her lip, unsure if she's gonna get a mouthful for pulling that trick.

Wolverine has posed:
Logan says nothing right away as he gets to his feet and pops his neck from side to side. Then quietly he moves over to the bottle of beer he left by the door, leaving his bloody footprints all the way, picks it up and downs close to half of the entire thing. Still he hasnt said one word to them. Grabbing the cigar now, he puts it in between his teeth and lights it, using a zippo he had in his jeans pocket. With a drag that makes the cherry burns bright enough for him to lead a sleigh on Christmas eve. He looks down as if trying to find the words before looking at the girls. "Clean that up." he finally says to them calmly pointing to all of his blood on the floor before walking out of the Danger Room.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods once, getting the mop and setting to the grisly task of cleaning up the soap, water, and blood. "No problem." With that, the Wolverine has left the building. She glances over at Pixie, and smiles a bit. "Told you things could get messy in here during one of his training runs. You going to be okay?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn shivers a bit, staring after Logan. "Umm....." she swallows, waiting for the other shoe to drop. it then he's gone. She just laughs nervously, grabbing another bucket, filling it with soap and water if none are available and grabs a mop and starts cleaning up, wrinkling her nose. "Heh, that's for sure. That was sooo confusing and weird and...And bloody.." she sighs, "Think you could check out my shoulder later? Think I got stabbed.."

Nightingale has posed:
     "Confusing, and weird, and yes, sometimes pretty bloody... I don't know how much you've been in the field besides the few times we've both of us been out there, but it can get that way and worse." Shannon presses her lips together in a thin line for a moment, her voice gone very, very quiet, and tinged with a bit of sorrow that might never entirely be forgotten. "No more Daniels. I'm willing to go through sessions like this, training with someone who is probably one of the best at what they do. Even if that something isn't always very nice. If it means I can learn to keep myself and my patients alive out there, it will be worth every minute."

     Setting her mop and bucket aside for a moment, she has a look at Megan's shoulder. "Looks like one of 'em got ya but it's not too deep. I should be fine by midnight snacktime." Likely it would be sooner than that, but hey. Smiling a little bit, she rests her hand on Megan's shoulder, letting her gift do its work, to leave the other girl whole--and her own shoulder with the stab wound.

     "Urgh. I'm just going to go get that bandaged up real quick and come back down here to help you finish this off, m'kay?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn frowns a bit, "Hey, I don't mind, if it gets me more practice.." she shrugs, "Well like most students, I haven't had a lot of exciting adventures, although I've done a few things here and there." she shrugs and chuckles a bit, "Oddly enough, you seem to have been in more adventures than most of us students combined, But now I'm of age I wanna get enough practice in to do the test to become an official Xman, and I'll get whiter prtuce I can." she smiles as her shoulder is healed, flexing it, "Thanks! See you later." with a sigh, she stares at the mess. This may take a while..
