I13DT - Pointing Things Out

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 11:24 am

Miranda was sitting cross-legged on a mat in the middle of an empty Danger Room. Her head was bowed and her hands were folded in front of her. A target appeared silently in the room off to her left. She lifted an arm and pointed at it. The computer announced "Partial hit" and the target disappeared. Another target appeared ahead and to her right. She pointed again and the computer announced "Bullseye!" This exercise continued before it dropped into a meditation cycle and transmitted the score on this bit of the exercise to her power control file.

The computer plays a jingle, announcing the presence of someone in the observation deck.

"I see you're working on your power control. Would you mind an audience?" Nailah's voice comes over the intercom and she waves at Miranda from the observation window.

"Of course not, Mom. You can even come down if you want. I've got one more sequence to go to."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:22 pm

"Mister Stanton is with us. If you don't mind bit more of an audience..."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:24 pm

"I don't mind. Come on in," she said.

Samantha looks to Will's reaction when Miranda calls Nailah 'Mom,' curious.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:28 pm

As an action figure, Will's range of movement was still limited, but there was some puzzled thoughts at the time.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:31 pm

Nailah either doesn't notice or doesn't care to elaborate and just heads down into the Danger Room proper.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:35 pm

Miranda's second sequence starts up as they're on their way down and Sam can sense the focus Miranda is pouring into it. She's doing a little better this time, pointing at the bulls-eye more often than not.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:35 pm

"You'll have to excuse Mister Stanton," she says as she follows Nailah down. "He's a bit portable right now."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:41 pm

"I thought the term was fun-sized," she said as she finished up her last target.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:46 pm

"'m always funsized..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:50 pm

"You two already know each other but regardless, Miranda, Will Stanton, leader of the X-Men and currently too embarrassed to try and stop being an action figure. Mister Stanton, Miranda, Sam and my daughter."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:51 pm

"...I have questions."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:54 pm

"Feel free to ask them," Miranda said, getting up to give Sam and Nailah each a hug.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:58 pm

"Question one: Whaaa?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:59 pm

"That would be about the question she asked us, when we told her."

She smiles, giving Miranda a hug back.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:03 pm

"Black Air got hold of our genetic samples somehow." she says, leaving one hand on Miranda's shoulder after hugging her.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:07 pm

"Ah. I see.

That's horrible. I mean, I'm happy for the three of you, but...yeah.

If there's anything I can do..."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:14 pm

"I'm still getting used to it, but thank you."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:15 pm

"Well, I wouldn't want to interrupt this family reunion, so I guess I'll just be on my way..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:16 pm

"We already had the family reunion, Will. It's no trouble."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:17 pm

"Yes, stay. I can't imagine you came here to watch me point at things."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:26 pm

"Well, far be it from me to disrupt your training. You know, we want to create as normal an environment as possible for you," Will rambled.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:41 pm

"You're being evasive," Miranda pointed out, looking at Sam, "What's going on, Mum?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:43 pm

"Will's a bit nervous, I think."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:45 pm

"I've been caught red-handed spying on the headmistress. Boy, I wonder why I might be evasive," she grumbled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:00 pm

"And then we invited you here to satisfy your curiosity."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:01 pm

"Satisfy it in what way?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:03 pm

"You wanted to know how Sam acts when she's not 'on the clock' so to speak. You're about to find out."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:04 pm

"May I stay and watch?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:10 pm

"Of course, if you like."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:19 pm

"I don't understand. What's going to happen?" asked the action figure.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:25 pm

"I'd say that depends on what Sam is in the mood for."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:30 pm

"If he doesn't mind, I can hold Mister Stanton. At least until he decides to be big again."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:31 pm

"I 'cn be big now," Will said, awkwardly fidgeting in Nailah's hands.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:32 pm

"Don't mind the form he's chosen, aye?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:37 pm

"Why would I?" She held out her hand to Nailah. "Unless of course, you're ready to be big," she said to Action-Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:38 pm

"...isn't it odd that I look like your mom?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:42 pm

"No odder than anything else I've seen since coming here. And you're not *quite* like her. For one thing, you look younger than Mum," she says, grinning.
