I12DT - Don't Mind Me

The site of the recently restored Braddock Lighthouse. Aircraft hangars and other X-Men facilities, including a Cerebra unit and the Danger Room have been constructed around the foundations of the lighthouse.

Some time in the afternoon the systems at the Point would register a spatial disturbance for a couple seconds, followed by a structural alarm going off from inside the Danger Room.

Nick, who had just left after some training, rushed back in while swearing.

"...the fuck is it this time?"

"I didn't do it!”

Haley came out of the locker room in her training uniform, looking confused and a bit scared.

Cal, similarly looking worried, poked his head out of the other changing room. "Neither did I!" Haven't figured out how yet.

"Didn't say you did. Just hang back while I take a look," he said, striding forward to first look into the Danger Room proper.

Someone is standing at one of the walls, an utterly crushed and distorted wall panel lieing on the ground next to them. All that's really visible are are pitch-black wings while Aria is working on the guts of the Danger Room. She doesn't seem to notice Nick poking his head inside.

"...fuck..."

"Out. Now," he told the highschoolers as he dialed security on his cell. "This is Varkan in the Danger Room. I think I'm going to need backup."

He hung up and headed in.

"And who the fuck are you?" he announced, raising the panel.

"Nice try."

Nick then attempted to telekinetically pull her from the wall.

"Whoa! Hey! Ask a lady out first, will you?" she says as she's jerked back a little when suddenly the room turns weird. The part where Aria is 'working' seems to turn away to the side, the room turning into a curved hallway bringing her out of sight.

It weren't his senses that were being messed with. The room had turned into a curved hallway. Of course that wouldn't stop him from rushing into it and down a seemingly endlessly curving hall.

Meanwhile Anastasiya and the XI kids would see the room fold away in on itself until Aria was almost standing next to them in a much smaller danger room, pulling a holoprojector out of the wall. She seems surprised when she sees the rest of the group. "Ah crap, you're still here."

Nick would have a hard time holding on to her because it was hard to figure out where exactly she is. She's both right around the corner as well as a million miles away. Still, he had somewhat of a hold on her and she is taking a couple steps back and forth trying to shake his grip.

He felt his grip begin to falter, his telekinetic sense not designed for abstract geometries. He redoubled his efforts in one final attempt.

Aria is a little pre-occupied keeping Nick trapped in a möbius strip hallway and trying to shake his telekinetic grip to dodge Christie and Anastasiya so she dodges the giant woman heading her way and gets slammed by Christie.

The hallway Nick's trapped in suddenly collapses when Aria loses her concentration and the room grows to normal proportions agian and spits out Nick mid-air at the other end of the room.

Nick just barely catches himself before he crashes into the floor, unfortunately losing his hold on Aria. He righted himself and flew over quickly, going for the holoprojector.

Meanwhile, Cal was busy not fighting her and making his way as quietly as he could over to where she'd been working so that he could try to figure out what she'd been doing. He figured he could have helped, but if they wanted to steal the tools he made that would let him, he was going to take that hint and let other people do the heavy lifting.

Haley focused on the woman and made a determined attempt to freeze her in place with her TK, hoping the other distractions would make her easier to catch ahold of.

From what Cal can tell the woman had disassembled part of the holographic array hidden behind the panels and taken out one of the holo-projectors.

Meanwhile Aria gets slammed into the wall by Christie and the surprise knocks some of the wind out of Aria's sails. And suddenly she was gone and Haley's and Nick's TK would slam into Christie and Anastasiya.

"You guys are good, but try to keep up." comes Aria's cocky voice from where she's standing at the other end of the room.

Hm. Okay, no clue why she wants that. Still... Cal queried the Danger Room computer to see if it was still functional.

It is! Though it might not work perfectly with a missing projector panel.

Cal frowned, then shrugged, trying to put in enough instructions to make it compensate for one of the projectors being out. Then he started inputting the scenario. All right... let's see... Oh, why not. A volcano. Right under her. Localized gravity increase... oh. And robots. Yeah... robots, and make them go for that projector she stole.

"Safety protocols engaged." the computer complained, though otherwise obliged. Suddenly everyone was on the slope of a volcano on some tropical island, a squad of robots appearing next to the group, stomping up towards where Aria is. Or was. Turns out if you remove the floor under someone they fall down. At least temporarily, because a couple moments later she comes soaring out of the crater, dodging a couple pot-shots that the robots are taking.

"Thanks! It was getting a little cramped in here."

"Your robots don't fly? Oh what the hell," Cal muttered, adding that to the robot program as he started combing his visual logs for Stan's various passwords.

Haley swore as she hit her classmates instead, so she changed her tactics, trying to reach out for the intruder's mind. Did she really know what she was doing? Not really! Was that going to stop her? Nope!

She focused hard on Aria's mind, seeing what if any mental defenses she had.

Aria's mental blocks are top-notch as far as non-teeps go and Haley's attack runs into them like into a brick wall.

"Learned from the best!" she grins and stuffs the holo-projector into her satchel before going into a dive to meet the robots flying up towards her. At the last second she twists away, grabs one of the robot's gun-arms and spreads out her wings to jerk her back in mid-air like a parachute. There's a grinding whining noise as she wrenches the arm out of it's socket, mostly from the force of the robot's thrusters rocketing it past her.

Cal would probably have some of Stan's passwords buffered and some probably haven't been changed. Maybe? Only one way to find out! Meanwhile Aria is busy shooting down the robots that have flown past her before they can turn around and get back at her.

Damn kids don't listen. Total X-Men material.

Nick tore the robot arm into its component parts.

"See, he gets how this works." she laughs and snatches the power-cell out among the rest of the thing falling apart. Tinkering with it she flies away from the group to make a wide loop.

"Fuck...not a chance in hell of getting through that..."

Haley scowled, taking a deep breath and narrowing her eyes, trying to stay one step ahead of Aria before she unleashed her considerable--though not entirely perfectly aimed--power on her to try and knock her on her ass.
