Kit Killovarras has posed:
When he's not out hunting, attending classes or studying the various bits of arcana that he's got sequestered away in his room, Kit can be found in the Danger Room. Inside the dome itself is a representation of New York's skyline from atop many of the buildings with various - though perhaps not so obvious - paths for the yeen to explore and exploit.

Inside the control room, there's a series of safety perimeters on screen, ensuring the safety of the student and monitoring his vital signs. Along with those signs is a strangely unique scale beside his vitals labeled D.E.L. or Dimensional Energy Levels. For the moment it seems like everything is within normal levels, but that might be because Kit is still simply stretching in anticipation for his afternoon run.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott Summers sees the Danger room is being used and enters himself to see who is there. Spying the student he knows the safety protocols are in fact set. "What's going on here?" He asks his tone light hearted happy to see a student taking the initiative to train even by themselves. He sighs reminiscently thinking about how much that reminded him of himself in those days. "A workout sounds fun." He chuckles as he starts to stretch.

Phoenix has posed:
The last few days have found Jean feeling a bit ruffled and stressed. And in times like these, there nothing better to relax her than a good old Danger Room session. Of course, it seems that this room is in use but apparently not locked to those of higher authority and so she peers in, making sure all safety protocols are being met. "Well, this is pretty tame, I suppose." she comments as steps in after Scott, dressed in her green and gold Phoenix costume, one of her favoured outfits after returning as The Phoenix. "Is this your program?"

Red has posed:
What on earth brings Alice back to the mansion, let alone the Danger Room? She had had her fair share down here... Though in comparison to other mutants, her powers might appear sluggish. Still, she's following along slowly after Jean and Scott, sighing at the sight. "Gosh, This brings back memories. Not the best ones though." She admits, brushing her hair back a moment, then shrugging. "Workout for you is time for me to watch I guess, unless Doctor McCoy allows me to grab his storage of 3D printer filament... Sorry, those things are light and forcefields."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
The door into the Danger Room would bring the three up onto one of the taller buildings in Bushwick where Kit is finishing his stretches and gives a glance back to them, giving a warm smile and a bit of a wave. Scott's comment about a workout being fun? He just gives a little chuckle and nods. "Sort of why I'm in here. Hope none of you have an issue with heights." Jeans question gets a little tilt of the yeens head and a simple, "Just exercising. Well, that and practicing jumps."

When he notices Alice, the yeens ears perk up a bit and he muses, "Powers aren't needed for this one, just a quick mind and some courage." as he shakes out one of his legs. "Good to see you back in here though. With what you told me last time we talked, I figured you wouldn't want to."

Then Kit finishes his 'limbering up', musing, "If you guys want a workout, try and keep up!" before turning and taking off towards the edge of the building, leaping off and quickly disappearing from sight. There's a crane bear the buildings edge and a fairly large girder suspended from it that seems to be the destination target for the hyena's jump.

A casual glance might not see it, but there are several possible paths, some more difficult than others and all leading safely to street level.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott Summers laughs and shakes his head. "Heights are no issue to me I'm a pilot." He says with a laugh. "And Jean can fly." Chuckling he looks back to Jean. "Not my program love, rather tame for something I'd run you know this

Phoenix has posed:
Jean Grey smiles, following alongside Scott. "As a firebird, I have flown higher than this..And it would be a good challenge to not rely on my powers for once." she is nit terribly strong but Afterall the training she is done,even without her powers Jean is fairly physically fit. But can she leap over buildings with a single bound?

She runs and leaps towards the crane, but she's not quite as fit as the hyena, or those who have more physical powers. Jean barely manages to grab the crane and slips a bit, hanging on for dear life. Oh this would be simple without her powers but where's the fun in that?

Red has posed:
Faced with the prospect of having to swing or jump and strain ankles and wrists, Alice stares down the sudden appearing building, then shrugs. "You say that... but you give me a challenge that I actually can handle... Just takes a little."

Takign off her jacket, Alice weighs it with her hands some, before shrugging again as her T-Shirt seems to melt and reposition, the pants joining in the shift and then ever so slowly the jacket seems to disslove too as she literally re-weaves the clothes into a wingsuit... just... it takes a while. The others might be up and down trice. "Sorry for being a slowpoke..." she comments as Scott and Jean are already on the way off and doing the parcours.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
The yeen sticks the landing pretty easily, running up to counter-balance the girder for the others and when Jean misses her jump? He just turns to watch her with his ears perked up, calling out, "It's set to reset at the starting position if you fall, so no worries!" with a little laugh. Alice's comment gets a toothy little grin and an amused, "It'll be interesting to see what ya come up with! I wanna see what you can really do with that power of yours."

Cyclops has posed:
Scott Summers smirks and runs taking that leap towards the crane, he lands it relatively easily he slides and offers his hand to Jean. "No one left behind my love." He laughs helping her to the top of the Crane.

Red has posed:
Alice needs time to work on the remolded clothes though... even if the fabric stays cotton and only is forced into a new shape. it's not fast either...

Phoenix has posed:
Jean Grey hasnt fallen all the way off yet, still hanging on. She smiles at Scott, grabbing his hand and climbing to her feet, "Still in the race, thanks, sweetheart." she smiles at him, and really it's hard to imagine these two not acting as a team as she races alongside him towards the end of the girder towards the next building, "I'm not done yet."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit watches Scott and Jean, giving a little chuckle as he nods and turns, continuing his own path down onto another rooftop and cutting the side short, half-walking and half-falling along the wall before springing off and catching the edge of another, lower building. He'll pull himself up pretty quickly, using his biceps like a spring and when he's on stable ground, he'll look up and watch the others.

He's been doing this a while and has run these courses practically daily, so he knows the ins and outs of the course. Though how many times he had to fall to get to this point is another thing entirely.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott Summers follows Kit's path with relative ease stumbling a bit here and there but over all still relatively keeping up. His body is honed for this and he is rather agile though it's the last rooftop grab that has him slip slightly hanging on as he tries to pull himself up.

Phoenix has posed:
Jean Grey follows alongside Scott, having practiced with him for so very long that she easily matches his longer strides. The run is a long one and the next climb is pretty tricky. This time she is not the one to slip l though as Scott starts to lose traction, it's her turn to reach out and grab his arm, maybe using a little telekinesis to her relatively weaker strength. "Hang on dear, almost there!"
