Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is down in the Danger Room with a group of 5 or 6 new students. They are all wearing the yellow and black bumblebees as Doug would call them. Sam is wearing his normal clothes today, but does have his goggles around his neck. "Ok, today we are going to work on a quick reversal one of my teachers taught me when I was around your age." He taps something on a tablet, and a hallway will appear with a metal flagpole sticking out at the end. "Ok you want to fly as fast as you can at the flagpole, and then when you get to it, cut your forward movement as you grab the pole. You then should slide around it to bring you back into this direction." He says and says "I will show ya once." He does head down the corridor and makes the turn as one of the students a 15 or so year old brunette says "Yea he used to not be able to turn worth a dang, lost track of how many trees he took out." The other students snicker a bit but she and they are quiet again by the time Sam is back and landing.
Firestar has posed:
So Jean says Angelica can only be in the Danger Room with a team memeber present. It was just coincidence she turns up, she wasn't watching the elevator anything. Really. She steps in with the others, remaining quiet and leaning against the far wall.

She watches Sam run the course and smiles a little. He's gotten better since the years have passed. For now she stays quiet, not wanting to interrupt.
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie once he lands the others are nodding and seem to think they can do it "Ok Melody your first" He looks at him and says "Call me Aero." He shakes his head and says "Not till you earn it brat." He is smiling as he says it though and she sticks her tongue out at him, and then is starting to head down the path. He looks down at the tablet watching her there and it tells him someone has entered so he waves Angelica over.
Firestar has posed:
She pushes away from the wall and starts towards where Sam is training the kids. A smirk at the exchange and she mostly minds where she is walking, but does watch the girl take the flight path,"It's as bad having all the kids at home?"
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Well it can be a bit of pain when one of your kid sisters is the ring leader." He jokes, and Melody does pretty well, she seems to have a field around here, sorta looks like Sams, but less blasty and is not moving as fast as he does. She makes the turn with a bit of a slip, but recovers well before making it back to the begining.
Firestar has posed:
She looks back at the sister and smirks,"Well, she's cuter than you at least." she teases mildly watches the returning flyer,"She's got a good handle on the idea at least. Give her a few more passes and she'll be turning circles around you before you know it."
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and says "It is possible, it is possible." He looks to the next student and tells them it is their turn. Melody comes over and says "Who is this big brother, she one of your girlfriends?" Yep kid sister trying to embarrass her big brother. Sam says "Melody this is Angelica, Firestar." He offers both her name and code name. "The Angelica?" She asks, and Sam raises a brow at this.
Firestar has posed:
Her smirk widens when ht talks about the possibilities. When Melody approaches she looks to the younger woman,"He wishes." she teases lightly. Then it hits her she's been spoken of. She raises a brow and turns towards Sam,"You've been talking about me Gutherie. How much may determine if you have children of your own some day." The theat is mostly in show, mostly.
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and shakes his head a bit to her and says "Nope not me." He confirms, and then Melody lets him sweat for a bit before she says "Na, he aint told me anything, but Paige told me she heard some things." Sam mutters under his breath and says "BErto."
Firestar has posed:
The brow remains quirked for a moment longer and she shakes her head finally,"Lucky for you Sam. You get to live to have children, assuming you can find someone to play along." She sighs,"So Berto needs to be skinned is what are you saying? A good friend he has."
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Well I am sure Berto let a lot slip when he was dating paige, but no telling how much was true and how much he exaggerated." Melody looks to them and says "So, was she your first kiss or not?" The girl asks bluntly trying to keep the footing on her terms.
Firestar has posed:
She sighs and nods,"Maybe Berto and I should take a midnight flight, to the upper atmosphere. See how well he talks then." Of course the doesn't mean it, but it does sound...unpleasant.

She looks at Melody and tells her,"He might have been mine, but I question if I was his." There's something to mess with the siblings heads,"Your brother was quite the ladies man. A legend in his own mind." Trying to stay ahead of the flash of red threatening to hit her face.
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie shakes his head and says "I don't know about that, I think more Berto was the one who thought he was a legend, and he has learned to fly so not as good a threat as it used to be." He looks to the others kids and Melody "Ok everyone get in line and I want you each to do the turn five times, one pass, and then next person till you have all done it." Melody seems to want to argue, but Sam gives her the look and she turns to go do the course.
Firestar has posed:
"There's a difference between flying and being able to beat the Earth's gravatational field." she replies,"Just saying." She looks down the line of students and considers what they are doing,"Have you taught them the physics behind what you are wanting them to do or just expecting them to know?"
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Some of them, the thing is depending on how they fly some have different physics working on them, like if they have wings, or of they are flying with TK."
Firestar has posed:
"Mmm hmm." is all she says about that. She looks at the students and back at Sam. A shake of her head and she mutters softly,"Men." She winks playfully and then watches the students again,"They look like you have taught them well at least."
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, Ah try to help them as best Ah can, Ah remember how discouraged, Ah would get when it seemed like everyone one else was making progress with their powers, and Ah was literally still running head first into the same things."
Firestar has posed:
"Somehow I figure you still run head first in to some things my friend." she teases lightly and looks at the class making their way back,"They are good. Have you ever taken them out to fly or maybe play a game in the air. Not just the drills?"
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "I have gotten them playing a bit of tag, but not something I can really play with them, have a bit of an unfair advantage and all.
Firestar has posed:
"Mmm." she intones softly. She looks at him and up at the control room,"Teach them to play at fox and the hound. Put yourself out there to chase down, try to catch you. Maybe use something akin to laser tag or the like to make it a hide and seek."
Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, a bit and says "You want to join in sometime, think you might be a bit better for them to chase and find a lot less roar than me. You able to hide your aura when ya fly?"
Firestar has posed:
"I could if you want." she replies with a shrug,"I enjoy a chance to be in here for whatever reason. It is good training. I'd hate to get fat." She winks,"Too much pizza with Vanessa." She nods as his class returns to the start of the excercise,"You're back on teacher."
