"Endless, that it is," Jacen muttered as he found himself running the same course through the same streets all over again. Of course, there were Sentinels after him. About three of them, all set for killing. Had Jacen had his wits, he'd have at least taken one out before rushing off, but he wasn't fully awake yet. That was until a concussive blast lurched the street in front of him forward, sending him crashing into the pavement.
He had barely enough time to open his eyes when he saw a pair of rockets flying at him. Within a second, he fired off a blast in an attempt to send at least one of them off course, the other though. As quick as he could, he rolled to his left, but was sent flying by the exploding rocket. Concrete and ash careened down upon Jacen as he struggled to regain his footing. The damage to his body was minimal, bruises that would heal, and a few stray cuts on his face. For a hologram, every wound seemed quite real. With a small surge of adrenaline, Jacen stood up as best as he could, and tried to face off against the towering robots.
He was taken aback by an arrow that appeared to short-out some of the closest Sentinel's systems, sending it down to a knee. "Can't let you have all the fun, can I?," Hawkeye yelled to the young mutant as he jumped from the Avengers jet down to a nearby rooftop.
"Spose not," Jacen said, dodging the other two robot's blasts, "But I don't spose you brought back-up?" One of the blasts exploded just above Jacen's head, to which he responded with his own massive bolt of energy. It hit, but did nothing.
The crippled Sentinel, regaining some function, fired a rocket at the roof where Hawkeye stood. Hawkeye fell maybe twenty feet before being caught by his teammate, Iron Man. The Sentinel who attacked was half-decapitated by a flying shield. Jacen only saw a glimpse of red, white, and blue out of the corner of his eye, but he had a damn good idea of who he had for back-up.
There wasn't a moment for Jacen to acknowledge the assistance, but he was sorely grateful for it....even though this was all happening the exact same way it had been. Take a new approach, he thought to himself as he looked around quickly for anything to try and use. When he saw a nearby fire escape, Jacen took a chance. "Watch my back!!," he yelled to the Avengers as they had their hands full taking two Sentinels, let alone all three of them. All I need is a second or two... With no grace, Jacen jumped up, grabbed ahold of the highest rung he could, and climbed with no concern for saftey. When he wormed his way around the outside fencings of the fire escape, he saw that he was at a good angle. In a deft motion, Jacen fired a small volley of energy at the nearly incapacitated Sentinel, trying to get it's attention. Being successful in his attempt was his goal, and when the Sentinel fired a huge blast aimed right at Jacen, he projected his energy around him in a convex, sending every amount of fire behind him and onto the building he was perched on. Jacen felt the fire escape move under his feet, and saw that the Sentinel was drawing back for a second shot. In that time, Jacen jumped from his perch, and expended as much energy as he could in one shot. He didn't know he was successful until he found himself being grabbed by Iron Man.
"Good shot, kid!," Stark said as they circled back to rejoin the fight. Unfortunately, the congratulations were cut short when there was a massive energy surge in Stark's armor. A surge so powerful it cut off his repulsor engines, sending both Scion and Iron Man towards the ground. Jacen managed to hit his shoulder hard into the concrete, but rolled with it. Iron Man dropped like a sack of taters.
"Hey," Jacen said as he crawled over towards Iron Man's prone form. "You alrigh...." He got a massive shock in his hand, but managed to roll the guy over, but he wasn't in good shape. Stark's body was convulsing violently until suddenly, it stopped, and Jacen couldn't see anyone's eyes behind the mask. It was, indeed, the same day all over again. A violent surge of energy rushed up inside of him, one that propelled him towards the fight again. As he was about to approach the fight, he felt a fire burning on his back, when he turned around, he saw nothing but orange flame...and felt a searing pain throughout his body.
********************************************************************
"Computer. End program," Emma called from the control room. "Jacen. Wake up."
"I'm awake, I'm awake," he said as he sat up carefully. The pain starting to subside now.
"What were you thinking out there?," she asked sternly.
"About trying a different approach."
"And what happened?," again with that same tone of voice.
"You saw what happened. I lost."
"That you did. Which should prove that for as unfortunate as that day was, there was nothing you could have done to prevent what had happened," she said, her voice easing a bit. Jacen only sighed. She was right. He knew he'd run this same simulation thousand upon thousands of times, each with the same result, his incineration. "I think you deserve at least a few minutes to rest....go get some breakfast, and meet us all back here in a half hour," Emma said as she left the control room, "And don't be late."

Cathy was standing in the kitchen listening to her CD player. The volume was blasting and she was wistling along with the tune. She probably should go and tweak her personal training program she made for herself after learning how to operate the danger room program. She was getting a little to fast so she needed to add more stuff to it. But, being the procrastinator that she was she kept putting it off. She finished making her eggs she sprawled onto a chair to eat.

Tetsuo looked up, seeing Gen in the doorway. He emediatly looked away. Still very confused about what had happened, he didnt blaim her, he just didnt wan't to be seen...
Just then, Dr. McCoy walked into the room. He was here to see what was up with Tetsuo. Expecting to see the light blue raptor-boy, he was very surprised to see a very normal-looking young man. "Interesting..." He mumbled, walking over to Tetsuo. He began to examine him closely.
"Huh? What? Whats wrong with me?" Said Tetsuo, looking at Hank with a very confused gaze.
"Nothing...There is absolutly nothing wrong with you, atleast from a physiological standpoint. You're perfectly normal." Said Hank, looking at Tetsuo.
"But I'm not suposed to look like this." Said Tetsuo, holding up his light-skined hand.
"Well...This may be part of your mutation...or a temporary loss of your powers. I won't know unless I run some tests..." Replied Hank, raising a brow to Tetsuo.
"Tests...?" Squeeked Tetsuo, staring at the blue ape.
(that sucked hard!)
(EDITED! *not realy*)

 he clock-radio beside Kai's bed had been blaring for some time when she finally stirred. It wasn't so much that she was a heavy sleeper, but more that she found it so hard to function in the morning with no willpower. If her brain didn't want to move, there was very little her body could do about it. A warm, sleepy bed was wehere she wanted to stay, and the thought of getting out of that warm bed to get ready for school immediately put her mind into a "Nope, not gonna.." mood. The bed was simply too comfortable. "... coming up just after ten o'clock, but before that, here's Bachman Turner Overdrive with 'You ain't see nothin' yet.' This is Bayville 98 FM... "You ain't seen nothin' yet... Dun dunnn... B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet..." Shattering the invisible barrier of slumber, the time echoed in her head. It was nearly ten o'clock. She was late for school, again. Throwing off the bedsheets and scrambling towards the duchess, she ripped out a quick ensemble of matching colours and threw them on. She neglected to brush her hair, it was flatten as the day went by, and she grabbed her wallet from the dresser and rushed out the door, locking it as she went. The walk/run to Bayville High was frought with peril. She tripped over a garbage bag left out the front of the apartment block, nearly got run over by crossing at an intersection at the wrong time, and nearly dropped her apartment keys down the drain when she turned to glance at an attractive young man. She was all but spent by the time she passed the gates to the Xavier Institute. She walked slowly as she passed it, wondering what was going on inside. It was no great secret that this place was home to mutants of all ages and experience levels, that much had been explained in full by the Professor himself not too long ago. Mutants like Kai frequently wandered past, wondering what life would be like to live there with a host of like-minded mutants. As she stood in front of the gate, a gruff-looking man on the motorbike with a newspaper under his arm whistled at her to get out of the road. Skipping to the side of the grass, she obliged the man. The sturdy gates rumbled open, and with a roar of engine, the man tore down the driveway and the gate closed behind him. She watched for a while as his bike disappeared into a garage in the distance. When he was out of sight, she went to pick up her schoolbag... Then slapped herself in the forehead. "I knew I forgot something when I left the apartment! Ohh... I can't go to class late and without my books!"

Regina followed Porter back to his room, seriously considering asking that day for another room. It seemed to her that it was the end of living like dorm students with Penny. They both had someone they were fond of now and it was probably for the best. She knew she didn't want to wander in on something some day...
Gen frowned a bit and looked down, feeling even worse about the situation.

Kidd tried not to panic, she took a deep breath. she could handle this. she calmly resumed her walk but now she was looking for a store that was open, to ask for directions. she'd noticed ever since her came to Bayville she'd become more and more confident. the person her was now was different then the one that was too scarred to enter the institute on the first day she arrived. she looked into store window hoping to see the neon Open sign but all the windows were dark. After walking for god knows how long she stop on a bench. she was beginning to feel that knot in her stomach. how would she get home? she looked around and tried to remember the area around the school. There was water behind it but she saw no water. from the school you could see a umber of large building, but none of those building were around her now. She could have gone the totally opposite direction when she left the bar. and she was beginning to believe she had. Kidd looked down at her clenched white fists. she began to shiver, and since she never got cold it must have been nervousness and fear taking over her.
Deciding that sitting and shaking was doing her no good she decided to return to her search for an open store.

A tall female makes her way up to the gates of the Institute, she tugs her long black trench coat close to her, she looks over her shades at the Institute behind the gates, "Woah!" she mutters slightly, not that she did not seen such a grand mansion before, she just cannot believe she is finally here. She looks around for the bell, she then press on the bell, she sighs slightly and mutters to herself, "Alright Ravyn, this is it...you are here," she then waits for someone to answer the gates.

As Hank moved off to another part of the room to get something, Tetsuo looked back over at Gen, now confused as to why she looked so depressed. He was about to say something when Hank came back over with a very large needle. "Ready?" Said hank, a devilish look on his face, holding up the needle. "AIEEEEE!!" Yelled Tetsuo at the sight of it, literaly tumbling to the floor with a thudd. He glared up at the blue ape, eyes glowing yellow.
"Just as I suspected..." Said Hank, putting the needle down, "Just another part of your mutation." He said, smiling at Tetsuo's glare.
(Tetsuo now officialy hates Doctors...XD)

Jacen wearily made his way to the kitchen. The toils of the last program ran exhausted his reserves, and breakfast was most assuredly in order. It took him all of seven minutes for him to go from the basement levels to the kitchen. Not too bad considering he was on a time constraint.
The smell of eggs wafted into his nostrils, sending his stomach into a growling frenzy. "....Don't like eggs, but...that smells good...," Jacen said as he walked into the kitchen to see the girl that was antagonzing Evelyn earlier in the morning. She had already a plate of eggs in front of her, but she seemed oblivious to anything, her ears and mind immersed in whatever music she was listening to.
Without so much as a word, he walked by her and to the cupboards. He needed a quick bite to eat, and the only thing that could be eaten fast enough was a bowl of cereal. And so, after pouring a bowl of cereal and getting a piece of fruit out of the fridge, Jacen stood by the counter to eat.
"Enjoying being anti-social?," the girl asked Jacen as it looked as if she noticed him in the kitchen.
"Of course. It's one of the things I'm good at," he said between spoonfuls of his cereal. Before he continued eating, he spoke up with, "Name's Cathy, right?"
"Yup. And you're Jacen. I've seen you around."
"I'm sure you have," he said dryly as he finished up his cereal, cleaned off his bowl, and proceeded to munch on his apple. "If you'll excuse me, I'm crunched for time, and I must be getting back to my sessions."
"Danger Room training?," she asked as he walked out of the kitchen. He didn't respond though. There was no need to really. If anyone knew him, they knew he spent alot of time in the basement levels. Not that he didn't have anything better to do, but he didn't....and he wanted his skill to remain sharp. He knew that in this line of work, if you didn't stay sharp, you'd wind up dead. Something that he did his damnedest not to wind up as.

"Have fun!" She called after him. Cleaning off her bowl she walked after Jasen. More out of curiosity than anything else. "Hold that eleva...." Doors slide closed. "...tor....figured...." She shrugged and punched the call button. "That's what I get for taking my time I guesses...." She said stepping onto the elevator as it arrived and hitting the button to take her down.

Sonya ran through the halls of the institute, looking for Penny. "Teacher! Teacher!!" she yelled through the halls. Then suddenly boom! Sonya ran into something and fell on her butt. "Ow," she said rubbing her head. "What did I.." she looked at her feet. Laying there was Penny herself. Some sparks where on her. "Oh I'm sorry teacher," said Sonya, "I didn't mean to run into you...or shock you. Teacher, teacher, please answer me," she said as she shook Penny.
Sasha moved up to her room. Pietro had brought the crib in the room. Pietro was allowed to move in her room with her because of the baby. But don't make any more,warned Mr. McCoy. Sasha laid little Ana in the crib. The baby laughed. Sasha went to the bathroom and started the bath. "So you want bubbles?" asked Sasha. She turn around and Ana was actually sitting up. She walked over to her. "Ana, you're growing too fast for me," said Sasha. She picked up the baby and they both got in the bathtub.

Markus walked out of the locker room by the danger room. He decided to do some training there not reilizing that a class was already in sesion. Stepping out and walking to the control room he spied Emma. "Miss Frost..." He greated her. "Sorry, I forgot to look at the schedual."
"Quiet alright, I'm waiting for Jacen to return before we start again." She said sitting in the chair. "Planning on running the maze again?" She asked.
"I was going to browse some of the simulations and pick something new." He admitted.

Dr. McCoy looked over to Gen, "Yes, he is absolutly fine" He said, helping Tetsuo to his feet.
Tetsuo Wobbled alittle, catching himself on the edge of the bed with his right hand. He wasn't usted to ballancing himself without the aid of his tail. He also realized that he was atleast 7 inches shorter than before. "Uhh...Ok, then I guess I can go..." He mumbled, walking slowly towards the door.
"Not yet," Said Hank, taking hold of Tetsuo's right arm. He pushed the sleeve up, examining the robotic arm closely. "What fine handywork," He mumbled, "Who built it?"
"My father..." Said Tetsuo, pulling his arm from Hank's grasp. "You said I was fine, so stop that" He continued towards the door, finding a new hair-tie in his pocket. He pulled back that now black hair, leaving the top spiked as it usualy was. Once out of the infermary, he leaned against the wall right beside the door and sighed...He didnt quite know what to think of this place. After everything that had happened, one might think he would leave...but something else was keeping him from thinking that.
