Perhaps this was the Professor’s way of getting the two cocky twenty-somethings to ‘bond’, like some metaphor about energy with element. Either way, John and Bobby were getting along. Not only were they being more than civil towards each other, but they were working together to accomplish a task set forth by a Danger Room program created by Xavier himself. That creator, woke four seemingly random X-men up in the middle of the night to run through this program, two of which were Pyro and Iceman.
From pajamas to x-suits, the four mutants stood in the middle of the danger room without any scenery. A voice boomed over the intercom which was no doubt the Professor.
“I know you’re all tired, but sentinels don’t sleep. You have exactly one hour to eliminate the enemies in this program. Work together.”
After the echoed remnants of his instructions, the artificial surroundings began to materialize. It was night time and storm clouds blanketed the sky. Heavy rain poured from above and rumbling thunder could be heard every few seconds. At first glance, they appeared to be in the middle of a field with a nearby forest full of large ferns and redwoods. The only visibility came when lightening illuminated the surroundings like a quick flair. Aside from the storm and a few owl sounds, there was complete silence.
“I’d rather be in bed right now,” Bobby complained while the cold water beaded down his suit.
