Chapter 10
🕑 Added 2025-02-24 08:38:02 +0000 UTC"... I think the bacon might have burned some of my nerves, say that again," Kitty asked me after we had left the cafeteria and were heading to where our training would happen.
"... I can touch Rogue for a prolonged period, which is slowly increasing through my increase in resistance against her type of powers that drain life and I am also able to stop her from stealing my powers."
"... Yep, my brain is too full of bacon and too little coffee to show a good reaction to this," Kitty said and went back to the cafeteria most likely to get a cup of coffee, I wondered what type of effect it would have on my powers.
" Her reaction is pretty fair considering even people like Darwin, whose powers is to adapt to any situation to make him survive, have felt their powers being drained at least once from Rogue, but you? Nope." Kurt said his hands moving around and not shouting only because some of the younger kids were still sleeping.
"... Fair enough, where do we have to train? Outside?"
"Nah, come with me." He touched my shoulder, and poof, we were in a completely different area of the mansion that I hadn't seen before, but I assumed was under the ground floor.
" That is where we train," I said while pointing towards the inside of a room visible through a glass.
I shit you not, inside that room there was a sky, trees, and robots that were fighting Scot and Jean, and they were getting bodied by those two.
"... Where can I buy one?" My neck snapped to Kurt.
" Pft, yeah good luck, this thing took the minds of Professor, Henry, and an alien empire to even create, and it is being constantly upgraded, it's called the Danger Room."
" You didn't tell me a price."
He rolled his eyes and looked back inside it, where Jean and Scott had just finished dealing with the last robot.
"Sentinel Instance has been completed." A feminine voice said from inside the room.
" Who was that?"
" Danger, it's a basic AI that deals with the creation of the holograms that we use to fight."
" Right." Why did Voice recognition trigger that? It hinted to me that there was sadness behind those words, can AI be sad?
" Wanna try it?" Scot said after he had gotten out of the room, his breath still a bit short.
" Sure, just don't put me against those things."
" Don't worry the room will decide on an enemy you can theoretically defeat by itself."
" Cool." Okay, this AI seems to become more aware of its surroundings every time someone talks about it.
After checking my HP and SP to ensure both were full, I went inside, hoping that the room would not consider me a powerhouse because of my powers.

My mind snapped back to reality, going overdrive to try and catch every possible detail it could before getting attacked by whoever Jubilation Lee was.
'Duck.'
I followed my gut and barely evaded what looked like a luminescent soap bubble, but bubbles aren't supposed to explode.
The woman who had thrown it was thicc, with the double c, short hair, wearing shorts, a yellow trenchcoat and a leather t-shirt that showed her stomach, if she hadn't just thrown a grenade at my head I would have been attracted to her, now? Not so much.
Using the little information my mind had received from a small scan it had gotten of the surrounding area as soon as I saw her create another of those bubbles I ran towards one of the buildings that had appeared inside the room, the explosion that came as soon as I got inside the alley between the two building pushing my body forward, my jacket getting torn to shreds.
'Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit.' I thought while hurriedly getting up and continuing running trying to formulate a plan.
What followed was the most exhausting 10 minutes of my fucking life, more than once I almost got bombed right in front of my face and only survive thanks to the map that had been chosen, being very unfair to her kind of powers.
' I feel like shit.' I thought taking a moment to rest and let my Sp regen, while checking my HP and time left to complete the quest.
' Just another 30 seconds and I am done, I swear to god if this is worth-' My thoughts are interrupted by my gut telling me to run as soon as possible, and considering how it has been saving me quite a lot I decided to follow it, and used whatever little energy I had left on my body make a last dash for my survival, but this time I wasn't fast enough.
A smaller explosion than the ones before lands next to my right foot, making me stumble and fall to the ground next to the door of the car she had exploded previously.
I didn't feel any pain, but that had taken a huge amount of the little HP I had left, so going purely on instinct I took the car door and threw at Jubilee like a frisbee, and by pure luck because there was no way I had made a good throw considering how tired I was, I hit her right in the stomach, making her fall and letting the few seconds that remained on the timer slip past.
Panting and feeling like shit, I looked at the surrounding area completely disappearing, the room returning to its previous white look, the voice I had heard when the previous instance had been completed doing the same thing for this one.
'Nice job.' The feminine voice whispered inside my ear, but I was too tired to realize that an AI that was supposed to only have one job, had just complimented
I was about to get up when I heard the doors of the room open and voices shout at me.
" KID ARE YOU OKAY?" Logan asked while hurriedly rushing towards me, there also were Jean, Scot, Kurt, and Kitty, Ororo stayed at the entrance but looked more than ready to suddenly appear on my side and fight god.
" Never been better," I said, sarcasm dripping my words like venom.
" If you can joke you can move, do you have any idea what happened?" He asked.
" What do you mean? The danger room thought I was theoretically capable of winning against her."
" Yeah no kiddo, the danger room can choose an opponent, but if we think it's too soon for it we can switch to another one, this time we couldn't."
"... I think it might have been my powers," I said while looking away and scratching my head.
I didn't see it, but I felt in my bones a simultaneous facepalm coming from everyone both inside and outside the room, maybe from even outside the mansion but I wasn't too sure.
" Explain," Logan said. For some reason, I saw a glint of metal coming from his knuckles. Yep, I'm going to ignore that.
