Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn had returned to the Danger Room and was searching through some of the old files for a particular training session that she had done recently with her team mates. Dressed in her black and gold standard 'Bumblebee' uniform, rather than her more custom made black and gold minidress, she's ready for business..

Too bad the controls are not co-operating however. Once she finds the appropriate program, she keys in the co-ordinates and attempts to start it, only to receive a loud buzz to the negative and loud words on the voice recorder to the effect of: "This program cannot be initiated at its current danger setting without a second team mate for safety reasons!"

She sighs, hitting the controls again, "Darnit, I don't need someone to assist me, I can do it all on my own.." Well one can always hope..

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles and saunters in dropping into the control room chair and letting it spin around, "Then why did you call me, menina? I must say that is a relief as I have gotten a manicure and I am not sure I am ready to take a chance on ruining it. He lets the chair make a small circuit and come back to face towards you before looking past his nails at you, "Oh, BUmblebee, this is serious, not fun and flirty." He smiles at you and looks at the screen, at the program and nods, "This was the one that you and Shannon were talking about?" Without being asked Berto, tirggers the replay of the last time this program was used and the view of the DR is replaced by one a little older, showing the day that you first got you butt kicked. Berto leans back and steeples his fingers watching, not looking at you.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn bliiinks slowly at that voice, turning around to face him and sighs. Soo awkward, but it can't be helped. He's already here so maybe he can let her in. "Heey, this is no night club, it's a training room, and yeah, it's serious. That's why I gotta prove myself, but..Guess the safety protocol wont let me go in alone, soo..."

She draws a deep breath, peering at the replay, where all the other X-men kicked ass, beating the robots to a bloody pulp, while she just...Flew around. And stuff. "But this time it'll be different, I can do this, I just need to try harder.." a nervous laugh is given. "So uh..Think you can help me out..?" Hey what's the worse that could happen? At least they're not at a night club this time. She'll just have to be careful not to spray him with her dust this time.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa stops and focuses on you, he looks angry, then he sighs and drops his fingers, "Hey, that wasn't on you, or me. Okay. It happened, we know that I am apparently very susceptible to your fairy dust in my human form, my powered form not so much, which is good, and I am sorry I was so forward, but I enjoyed dancing with you, and ..." there's a pause as Berto watches you, "I am glad you had the sense to back away and that it didn't go further. Thank you for saving me from myself, but we took responsibility for our actions and ... I am truly sorry, If I hurt you, and that I made you uncomfortable." He takes a moment, a deep breath and smiles, "Okay, so, I'm dropping the number and we'll work our way back up, This is going to be a bit of a marathon, but I can show you some strategies. Ready?" Berto is also dressed in the standard X-Uniform.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn swallows a bit, cheeks reddening a bit as she recalls that very awkward night..Although she did kinda enjoy the dance.."Heey, forget it, it's nothing, I just wanna focus on training, okay?" she frowns a little and shrugs. "Whatever happened, happened. So let's not bring it up here..Okay?"

Even as she speaks, Megan is already flying out of the control room and down to the training area, waiting for Roberto to join her. "Right, start from the bottom, work up to the highest setting, ready when you are!"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa jogs down the stairs and nods "Exactly, get the basics down and work our way up. Okay like yourself, I am not particularly durable. In this form I also don't have a lot of options, so I'll stay non powered for a few iterations, and show you some examples, ready?" He waits for a nod and initiates, "Danger run level 1." The robot scenario is a common one with a lot of variants, Berto polishes it off quickly, he moves into the grouping of robots and draws their fire into each other, using Judo to keep them off balance, moving and controlling the field but rarely attacking. He gets nailed once in the arm and yelps but finished the routine. shaking his head, "Okay, now you."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and bites her lip. "Oh..Right, you do that whole fire explody thingy, right?" she's never seen him in action before though, aside from that brief display at the club. For now she steps back and watches, studying his moves with some interest. And of course she has some basic combat training, although Roberto is more advanced in many ways.

"Oh..Wow, that was...Turning their strength against them, brilliant!" she nods and smiles, feeling a bit more encouraged as she waits for the next wave, digging in her heels and clenching her fists. Really, Megan is not a heavy hitter by any means, but she has some other tricks up her sleeves.

As the next wave of robots come, slightly stronger than the last and a bit more numerous too, Megan lets out a battle cry as she darts between the nearest as it aims its blaster at her, but fortunately she is faster, a near blurr of speed as she weaves in and out of the robots, causing some of them them to blast at each other as they attempt to shoot her down.

But she may just be burning off too much energy at once. The trick wont work forever and as more robots start to focus on her, aiming their blasters at her simultaneously, one manages to blast her in the shoulder, pretty hard. She yelps, spinning off balance to the ground, where they start to swarm her.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa pulls the sunlight from the room his form darkening as he lets loose with a barrage of low powered blasts, strafing the robots you conveniently swarmed, taking the group out easily. He smiles and reaches out a hand to help you up, "Danger, Pause. You okay?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, a mere foot away from being flattened by a robot or two before Roberto blasts it to oblivion. She frowns, climbing slowly to her feet as she reaches for his hand, wiping the dust off her uniform. The slight darkening of the room catches her attention for a moment, peering at him in a mixture of wonder and awe. Wow..That was pretty cool..And that probably wasn't even his highest level. Megan smiles softly, almost smirking as she glances at her wound.

Her shoulder is a bit bloody and bruised but not seriously enough to do more than sting. "I'm fine..Just a bruise. You think a couple of robots can take me down?" she laughs and shakes her head, "Think again! Danger, continue! Level..Five!" right, Megan's really going for it now as she skips a couple of levels..

More powerful robots emerge on the platform now, and more numerous too. Looks like they're gonna have to work together to defeat them. "Hang on..I'll blind 'em, you blast 'em..This is one thing I can do!" okaay, maybe they're immune to her illusions, but not to the blinding dust storm she can create! Megan is already climbing high into the sky, beating her wings more quickly as she generates a maelstrom of pink blinding dust, sweeping it down on the group of robots like a crop duster...

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa raises an eye brow recognizing the bold need to prove oneself, he whistle briefly as they jump to level five. And then grimbles as megan flies away out of his range to protect but he opens up on the robots. Taking them down in single shots, moving, using his strength, grabbing one robot as a shield he triggers its laser cannon taking out others. Saving his energy using the cover effectively. Hes actually holding his breath the entire time, waiting for the robots to clear and the routine to end.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn swoops down low, finishing off the few robots that Roberto missed, copying his own tactics as she tosses one robot at anoth by throwing it off-balance, ducking so that another blasts another with its own blaster. Of course her moves aren't as refined as him and she does watch him with a bit of guarded admiration as the next level begins.

"Wow..Maybe later you can teach me a bit of Judo, hmm?" she grins.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa grins and nods, this round Berto leaps into the air, following along with pixie maintaining as much closeness as he can, and any stray shots have the energy sucked from them. He leads the way dropping down into the robots streaking through and watchibg as they take each other out in crossfires.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks as he takes to the skies, quite surprised. "Wait, you can fly too? So cool!" as they finished up the current round and go into level 7 by now, Pixie is working more furiously to dart around their blasters as she takes to the skies as well, though she doesn't have a lot of firepower so she ends up ducking behind him a few times as the bots continue to focus their attacks skywards.

"Ph wow, you have such cool powers.." she marvels,wishing she could kick some butt more easily..

But of course Pixie has one more trick up her sleeve and as she uses Sunspot as a flying shield, it gives her time to focus on a large group of robots below. "Okay here goes.."

Eyes narrow but this time she peers around at their surroundings and spots a giant Boulder. Ooo this should be fun..

"Sihal Novarum Chimoth!" the Boulder vanished, crashing down with some force upon several of the robots crushing them instantly. "Huzzah!" she cheers as the program nears its end.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles "Good one, see, you're doing quite well!" He continues to use acrobatic flying to evade the robots. He's still picking them off but this time uses lesspowerful blasts hearding them playing sheepdog to get the close enough for an even bigger boulder drop. "Get'em Megs!"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn beams, really getting into this now. "Hey, this isn't so bad afterall!" she steps back for the moment as Roberto flies thru, blasting down the bots and she focuses on those remaining, nodding to him as she holds out her hands. "Got one better! Sihal Novarum..Chinoth!" she aims at the pond this time, opening a portal underneath the deep pool, then creates another portal above the robots' heads, dumping a couple tons of water on them from above. Those that don't get short circuited or crushed are likely to get swept away in the tidal wave that follows.

Hopefully Sunspot isn't weak to water. Ummm oops?

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa gets caught in the deluge, but powers through with a laugh, spinning as he rises out of a small cloud of steam. The water does wash away all the excess dust from her earlier dust storm so that works out to kinds of a... wash. "Thanks for the Bath, Abelhao." Berto chuckles, "Will definitely help me keep my cool." He swoops down and lands next to you, "How many waves to go? Or did you want some judo pointers?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn laughs as she flies through the deluge herself, quite enjoying the refreshing little shower. "Yaaay that was sooo much fun!" and with the program almost finished, and her breathing a bit lightly by now, Megan is more than happy to pause for the moment. "I think I'm good, I learned a lot today, thanks! But um..Maybe a few judo moves would be good? I supppose I can't dry off as quickly as you though.." and now she looks like a drenched insect with her hair stuck to her face and those bug wings.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles and motions for Megan to move closer, and he radiates heat and dries her off, moving his hands closer to her form but not touching her, tracing her form heating the air around her. It takles a few minutes but he manages to dry her off, her hair spinging to its natural state and the wings dried off, "Okay, that's better." He nods and calls out, "Danger, Judo training session, two persons, robot assisted."

    He smiles as the room shimmers and becomes a dojo. with fighting dummies and two robot sparring partners, "You've had the basics, I know, and this should play to your strengths, likes it down to my own, it Judo it's good to be small and agile." He flashes you a grin and a wink. "I'll show you a few more advance moves and we can go from their?"

    Berto runs through three of the more advance moves he knows, Taking hold of the the robot and throwing it with ease over his shoulders, then sets up for a hip throw, and demonstrates. and lastly an arm throw, that functions in reaction to being grabbed. He goes through them at full speed and then half speed so you can pick up the basics, "Okay, you go."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, standing very still as he dries her off. admittedly, it feels pretty nice and warm like standing under a gentle blow drier after all that flying ariund and getting soaked. "Wooow, what an awesome power!" she's trying not to swoon but...

When the scenario changes, she peers around curiously, then back to Berto. "Soo how are we gonna do this?"

Ahh, that's how. She pouts a bit. "Ohh but that looks kinda hard..I mean, do t you need a lot of strength to do that?"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles and shakes his head, "Not at all. Your small size should make it easier, here." He stands before you and motions for your to get in a ready position, He then gets into a matching positions and guides you through the move, at quarter, speed.

    His touches are professional and light, guiding your hands, placing them and showing you how to direct his body, pressing your body into position to allow his to drop over you as you pull and trip him, he shows you the mechanics of the move.

    HIs reluctance around you seems gone and after the rinsing, and with help of the uniforms gloves, Roberto seems unaffected by your pixie dust. As he teaches you the first move, going over it, again and again until you can feel the flow of the move, like a dance. And that chemistry starts to come back, in a very positive way. He starts and quarter speed and then at half speed until your ready to try it full speed, "I think you have this do you want to try?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and bites her lip as she follows, shadowing his movements albeit a bit awkwardly at first. "Ooh, that's actually not as hard as I thought.." she's a bit worried about the dust still, but seems more relaxed around him at least. "Soo...Like this more?" she tries the movement again, with a bit more confidence.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa nods and smiles excouragingly, "Exactly." and then he is on his back looking up at Megan, and Berto laughs and smiles, "Yes, just like that." He gullps just a little, and nods"Yes, we can try it with he sparring robot now." Berto rolls onto his shoulders and ki-yups from his back onto his feet, standing, "Excellent work Megs. Great job, really."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is quite surprised when she puts the bigger Roberto down on the mat, blinks and giggles, "Ooh that was kinda fun!" but now she's getting too close for comfort, which causes her to blush a bit, climbing quickly to her feet, wiping the dust off her uniform. "Sorry about that..Right, I'm ready to take on the robot guy!"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa nods "Not at all, that is the point of the exercise." He smiles with a wink and chuckles then continues with the rest of the lesson with the robot as the shared target of their aggression, he notes her discomfiture and pulls back from even his minimalistic style. Using words and gestures and only touching when absolutely necessary. He takes the time to demonstrate the hip throw and then works withe her till she is ready to try it on the robot by herself."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and sighs, "It's okay..You're just showing me by example and you're being professional about it, so, we'reccool!" she smiles, to show she's more relaxed around him perhaps, but follows his movements more closely, already showing rapid improvement. This time, it doesn't take quite as much effort to throw her robot. A bit hard but. "Wooo I did it! Did you see?"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa claps and smiles his eyes twinkling with pride, "Very good, Menina. Gracias, I am, as are you, I also think we work well together. You are driven but you know how to have fun." He steps forward and was probably moving to give you a hug, but he thinks better and smoothly transitions to offer a high five, instead. Berto resets the robot and says, "Try again. Feel how it's in the hips and when the throw connects and the robots weight just takes it."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles a little sadly as he pulls away, about to say something about that, but just steps forwards to wrap her arms around his neck in a friendly sort of way. "It's okay, I'm glad we got to clear the air, and..Thanks for teaching me all this cool stuff! I really feel more confident now, like I can take on the world, Yknow?"

She glances back at the robot, sighs and nods. "Okay...Right. but after this, I wanna get some ice cream!" she smiles sweetly as she gets into position, airing for the bot to advance, and then she uses those practised moves, more refined this time as she hip throws the robot. Almost a perfect move. Huzzah!

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa blinks and smiles, letting the hug happen, he wraps his arms about her mid section and squeezes just enough to be friendly he even leans in to rest his head against hers, "Me too, Megs, Me too. You are an excellent student. Anytime you need help you can call me. Yeah, and I always knew you could. I could tell-."

    The robot falls and there is much rejoicing and another high five, and the copious amounts of ice cream as Roberto explains the proper ratios of whip cream to hot fudge to ice cream and even makes sure that the bowls stay cool while the fudge stays warm. The twosome sit amicably on the back porch under the stars eatting hot fudge sundaes chatting like true friends, there is a whip cream fight and Berto even offers some sage advice about asking Boys out to Prom.
