Danger ahead
Ellie could barely contain her excitement. She'd called Daniel earlier in the week and asked him if he wanted to come to the Institute to hang out for the afternoon. And he said yes!

She already knew what they were going to do that afternoon. It just so happened that Ellie was able to copy the codes to get into the Danger Room unsupervised...instead of having to hunt down Misha or Cait or one of the older students to let them in and set a training session for them. A baby level training session. That? Something that a baby could beat? That, just would not do. No, no, no, they needed something challenging! Something fun!

Ellie grinned. This was going to be AWESOME!

Of course he said yes. Ellie is made of awesome... mostly. A little of the boring old sugar and spice stuff, but she likes baseball and is learning hockey, and she's cute and likes him - so mostly awesome. At least 78% awesome.
He isn't aware of the danger room protocols and all, he's had access to the trainer for a while, though Reed still usually monitors him remotely, just in case. So its not that great a shock when he follows her down to the danger room, looking forward to seeing how this works.

"So what scenario are we running?"

	Ellie pushed a couple of buttons on the control board, grin still intact on her. "I'm thinking going up against an army of zombies. Very cool. And still kind of challenging without it being INSANE, like what Uncle Logan uses." She grabbed his arm, pulling him down from the control panel and into the Danger Room. "C'mon, let's go!"

	Zombies? Whoa, cool!!! He's after her like a shot, shutting the door behind them with a click of the security locks engaging. "This is going to be awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know!" She was nearly bouncing up and down. "It's going to be ten different levels of AWESOME!"

The Danger Room began to power up, and Ellie squealed. She'd been in on training sessions before, but Misha or Cait or one of the older kids HAD to supervise her and they were always BOOORING.

The room and the scenery began to shift...and Ellie readied herself from the zombies.

Only...those looked more like Senitals...and not zombies.

And...this was more like a minefield than a post-apocalpytic zombie wasteland.

"Uh-oh...."

	Super speed reflexes is the only thing that keeps this from being a lot worse. He dives for her to try and tackle her out of the way of an incoming missile, as he's struck in the back, and sent flying by the explosion. So much for safety protocols - his shirt is on fire. "Ow... that hurt you overgrown junker." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	poof 2010-04-28 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"I am SO SORRY!" She called out, as she crawled back to her feet. "I thought I set it for zombies!" She also thought she knew what she was doing. But apparently, that was also false. "EEEEEP!" She teleported out of the way of a Sentinel's foot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rocky_2 2010-04-28 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	He hits the jets again, shoulder-ramming the sentinel's foot that just tried to squish his girlfriend. "Its ok! Just don't get hit, I got..." He's hit by three blasts in unison, using that lovely robotic timing and communication, hammering him into the ground. "Ow, dammnit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"DANIEL!" She ran over to his side. This...was NOT going the way she planned it to. Yes. She was so unbelievably DEAD when they got out of this. If they got out if it. "Yikes!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, teleporting them out of the way of an oncoming missile assault. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a massive explosion behind them as she pulls off the save, giving him a moment to recover himself. "Careful, I think I'm still on fire. You ok?" he asks, shaking off the hits as best he can. These things hurt, super-durable or not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	poof 2010-04-28 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded, a little dazed. "I'm okay...no broken bones or missing limbs." She also wanted to just pass out right now. This was taking more energy than she had in her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He notices - that's not a good sign. "Ok, there's some rubble over there, take cover and stay down, ok?" He's at least had some combat training, even if they have yet to allow him on a mission.

"I'll give you some time to catch your breath." he volunteers - he has to.

He turns to the sentinels, cracking his knuckles. "Alright, your sons-of-Pintos, yer warranties better not be expired, CAUSE ITS CLOBBERIN' TIME!"

	Ellie nodded. "Okay..." she ducked behind some of the rubble. She'd catch her breath, and then she'd go help him. She just couldn't LEAVE him there. "Be careful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He rushes... and gets slammed back by an explosion. It does not make him happy. And as he gets angrier at them, more focused on taking them apart, he gets faster - and his running footsteps leave shellow impressions in the metal floor. The first one he hits loses a leg, which he uses as a baseball bat on the next one.

Of course, meanwhile, he's beeing shot, burned, and at last, all appears over when he's stepped on - before he forces the foot upwards, tossing the sentinel back - but its not doing him any favors either. He's bleeding, burnt, and breathing hard - but he has to keep it up, to keep Ellie safe. He has to.

	"DANIEL!!" She jumped over the rubble that she was hiding behind, running to him. She had to get them out of there....if she could just get to him so she could teleport them up to the control booth.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was at least making progress. When he hears the shout though, all thoughts of forward disappear. "Ellie! No, get down...!" he shouts, trying to get to her - aided suddenly by explosive rockets to the back sending him hurtling towards her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	poof 2010-04-28 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I've got you!" She caught him..or more like, he slammed into her, sending them both into a wall. "Ow....you alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rocky_2 2010-04-28 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Is he ok? No. He's pretty sure he's not. Thankfully, if they can get out of this, he heals well. Now its getting out of this. "Yes." he lies as convincingly as possible. "No one is monitoring this, right? And we can't shut it down from in here?" This is probably a really bad idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	poof 2010-04-28 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah....really, the only thing TO do is let it run it's course...I can try and teleport us to the monitor room...but I can't really see...with all the smoke and everything." Yes. Worst idea EVER. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, they're blasting through our cover, no idea what marks end of program other than maybe winning or... well, losing. I have an idea... but you need to be ready to teleport us /up/. Can do you that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ellie nodded. "Uh-huh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He's going to have to trust her. He might be able to go a few more rounds, make some progress - but he can't do that, and protect her, and she can't teleport forever, even if she's saved his butt a couple times now. He can only think of one way out of this.

Getting in front of her, he slams his fists down, then again, then again, harder and harder, faster and faster. If he does enough damage to the machine, he's pretty sure it'll turn off. If not, some of the sentinels will go down in the quake, and others will get buried in rubble - as long as he has his confidence and will behind it, he can do anything - he's sure of it. And for a pretty girl... he can do this.

The room starts shaking, then the surrounding rooms. Stuff starts falling, the floor splits with a sound of tearing metal, and with the vibrations shaking off the walls and through the floor, once it gets going, it keeps getting worse.

"Ellie! Now, get us above the worst of it!" he calls, diving back at her. If she can get them above the first few tons, he can probably shield her from the rest - as long as he makes sure he can dig them out, not let them get buried, they'll be ok... they'll have to be.

He'll worry about the damage to the Danger Room later.

	"Okay!" Ellie said as she caught him, teleporting them above the worst of the rubble. "Wow," She said, looking down at the pile. Oh yes. They were so DEAD. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rocky_2 2010-04-29 12:31 am UTC (link)
	After shielding her from the secondary rubble, and feeling some of the rush fade, he doesn't even notice the rest of the results, more or less collapsing on top of the pile, trying to ignore the throbbing headache. "Nnnggg, you ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh my stars and specially-tailored garters," Sylvie says as she, having made it into the room, climbs halfway out of her chair to press a few other precautionary buttons on the wall for good measure. "Ellie, what did you think you were doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	poof 2010-04-29 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Ellie plopped down next to him. "I'll live." Her face turned as white as a sheet when she saw Sylvie. "Uhh....training session?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rocky_2 2010-04-29 12:50 am UTC (link)
	He reaches out and puts his hand on hers. It'll have to do. Psychic backlash after pushing his powers - or rather having them push him, hurts at least as bad as the robots' blasters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, training isn't supposed to break the room. Are you two okay?" She scrambles over the rubble to them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ellie gave Sylvie a weak thumbs-up. "Super-duper, Sylvie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Daniel mumbles something akin to 'backlash headache', probably discernable to the highly educated McCoy despite the words lacking vowels when he says them right now. After all, the Danger Room has done fine with Colossus, Warpath and others - even if they weren't specifically trying to destroy it. And honestly, had Ellie not been in danger, he wouldn't have been able to do much either - other than eventually get pounded by robots. This headache is going to last a while.
