“Hmm… maybe molecular manipulation? Or maybe we could call it ‘transcendental transformation’ of an item.” Shin proposed while playing with a pen. Trancendental transformation? A bit dramatic, she'd say. She looked at Sam, wanting to hear his opinion as well.
“Well I was going to mention Alchemy, but Shin I think I like your description better.” came Sam's answer along with a small nod. Alchemy? Too dramatic.
Alexandra stopped from chewing the end of the pen and wrote down 'molecular manipulation'. She filled in the other fields , half concentrating on the paper, half on hearing what Sam was saying. She heard him saying something about seeing what she could do, something about his new office and something about a controlled environment where she could do this.
Her thoughts went back to her training session from the Mondragon Labs. The laser burn beneath her ribs was still sore and hurt every time she made some sudden move. Luckily, the one on her leg wasn't that bad. Back then, she thought she won't be able to walk normaly for some time. She shivered at the thought of being incapacitated and glanced at the paper once more checking if the information she wrote was correct.
"Sure, I'll do it." she replied to Sam about showing him her powers. She looked at Sam and held the paper up. "Here you go." she said while handing it to him.
"I'm ready when you are." she added, shifting her position in the chair. She just hoped that no more laser shooting robots will be involved this time.

“Alright,” Shin nodded, rising from his seat. “Bring on the laser deathbots! Er, I mean the danger room." He coughed. “Just some good, all-American holograms.” The pencil sailed back into the pen cup on the desk, and he turned to stand by the door.

Honestly, he was interested in her powers. It was always so interesting seeing what others could do. Would she be like Cutie Honey, and absorb the matter around her to make a sword? Would she transform one thing into another? Or would she do something entirely different? It was all so thrilling, a true mystery.

Taking the paper work Sam smiled to shin and said, “wasn’t thinking of anything to big just some small stuff…” getting up Sam walked over to his wall of vacant rooms and smiled grabbing a key and tossing it to shin, “Think you know where this one is…” it was on the same floor as his and Shins room but closer to Shin’s room to be exact to the three rooms to the left of Shin. “Right shall we?” asked Sam as he walked to the door and led them to the danger room, “We can grab the bags later…”

It took a few minutes and a ride down an elevator but they got to the danger room with no problems, “Shin,” Sam said trying to get his attention, “If you wouldn’t mind could you accompany me to the god room so we can see what she can do?” he gave Shin a small grin and then looked to Alexandra, “Al, if you could go threw those doors and walk to the center of the room and wait for the simulation to start that would be great….”

Sam turned around and headed off to the god room with Shin and when they were out of ear shot Sam asked Shin, “You ever work the Danger Room before, cause if you want I’ll let you run the simulation of your choosing just be sure to be careful with her…”

”Alright” Shin said and nodded at Alexandra. “Bring on the laser deathbots!” he added. Alexandra’s eyes widened at hearing that. Was he reading her mind or what? “Errr, I mean the Danger Room. Just some good, all-American holograms.” He explained coughing. Danger Room?
Her eyebrow rose as the memories of her training session were reviving in her mind. Laser robots? Come on, she just fought ones the other day…
“Wasn’t thinking of anything to big just some small stuff…” Sam replied to Shin with a smile. Alexandra breathed relieved, the thought of fighting another set of Circe-annihilating robots was a bit … creepy.
Sam rose from his chair and grabbing a key from the wall tossed it at Shin. “Think you know where this one is…”
Heading to the door, he turned to the other two mutants. “Right shall we?” Alexandra raised from her comfy chair as well and left herself to be guided.
“We can grab the bags later…” he added while leading them to the ‘Danger Room’. Just like in her simulation, they took the elevator. As Sam guided her and Shin to the Danger Room, she thought with amusement that she could have got to this Danger Room while holding her eyes closed.
Sam’s voice asking Shin to accompany him to the god room (god room?) brought Alexandra back to reality as her eyes turned to Sam just as he was turning around to speak with her.
“Al, if you could go threw those doors and walk to the center of the room and wait for the simulation to start that would be great….”
Alexandra nodded but couldn’t help herself to smile at hearing Sam nicknaming her ‘Al’. As Shin and Sam were going to the god room, Circe entered the Danger Room. The surroundings were feeling familiar to her and she breathed relaxed. You did this once. she spoke to herself as she positioned herself to the center of the room. She looked up to what she thought to be the god room then back to the metal floors.
Alexandra took off her jacket and shirt and, in lack of a better place, threw them at few feet away from her. She was now dressed in a black tank top, a pair of black jeans and black boots. She hoped that her movements won’t be slowed down by the jeans. Who thought that she would be thrown in the middle of some training session just as she got here?
With a sigh she rotated her shoulders then brought her hands forward while looking at the ground. Her eyes were beginning to turn from brown to blue as she was activating her powers. The metal of the floor in front of her began to wave in a slow motion as she was checking if she was right about the composition of this room. She shot a look up once again as she was anxious to end this.

Possibilities sprung up in his mind like puppets in a whack-a-mole game. Put the litter in the trash-can mission? He imagined her plucking up a grape soda can and dropping it into the can with a tinny ting. Naw, too easy. Maybe a bank scenario? Stopping a robber by peacefully laying down the law? Or maybe… squirrel tokens. Millions of squirrels rushed across central park in his mind, and he stifled a grin. Protect the people, save the world.

“Sure, I’ll help run a simulation.” Shin replied with restrained excitement. He needed to put a leash on that imagination of his. “We should probably start it on the lowest setting. I was thinking a ‘protect’ mission might be good. Have her defend a person or group of people from ‘noun’. What do you think? Squirrels alright with you?” He stared down at the controls, lost. “How do I work this thing, anyways?”

Laughing at Shin’s enthusiasm he clicked a button and said, “well shin speak into the mic and tell the computer what you want, or if you want you can look through one of my training simulations I use for my students and pick one of those…” he pointed to a monitor that said ‘Sam’s Simulations’. “Go easy on her I don’t want her to get hurt, last thing she needs is a trip to DocProf, he won’t be to thrilled about the situation either…”

Leaning forward Sam looked down at Alexandra and smiled when he saw what looked like the ground shaking in her presences. Grinning slightly Sam said, “Al, ready when you are, take it easy and try not to hurt yourself okay?” Sam said waiting for her response then Shin’s decision on the pick for the simulation.

The simulation wasn’t starting yet and a very impatient Alexandra could be found in the middle of the Danger Room, occasionally glancing at the god room. What were those guys doing in there? Planning her death? She sighed as she absently began to tap her fingers against her hips.
“Al, ready when you are, take it easy and try not to hurt yourself okay?”
Alexandra raised her head to see a grinning Sam speaking to her. Alexandra smiled back while mentally raising an eyebrow. Why does he think I am trying to hurt myself?
“I am ready Sam-” she stopped herself as she was about to call him Sammy. Something made her doubt that he would have taken that lightly. And right now she needed to get out of this room, let’s hope, not very badly wounded.

“Speak into the mic, huh? Alright, where’s the…” He glanced around, searching for it a moment, then found it. He grabbed it in his hands.

>>“Go easy on her I don’t want her to get hurt, last thing she needs is a trip to DocProf, he won’t be to thrilled about the situation either…” Sam said. Shin looked at him, serious-face on.

“Don’t worry. I want to challenge her, not hurt her. I’m no lady killer. The last thing I’d want is for that to happen… quick correction, who’d want that? Alright, danger room,” he turned his attention back to the microphone, leaning in close to speak. “Generate a city street modeled after Abbey Road from the album cover of The Beatles album of the same name. Now, put an elderly lady on the right side of the street next to Alexandra. Make her German in appearance, pushing a silver shopping cart, with hair of the same color. Thick glasses, friendly face. In the distance, a car is coming. She’s trying to cross the street. Alright, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later.”

Shin stepped away from the microphone to breathe, smirking about his mission of infinite justice.

"Oh, and add a giant blue turtle with hydro pumps on its back as a design graffiti'd on the pavement of the crosswalk." He added as an afterthought. “There, perfect.” He smiled at Sam.

"Simulation, start." The danger room shimmered into the scene.

Grinning slightly Sam nodded in approval to the simulation so far, “Doesn’t seem to difficult.” said Sam to Shin. All he would do in that situation is either skate over and knock the little old lady out of the way or create a bridge over the old lady for the car to drive on. Either way he was curious to see what she could do.

Walking over next to Shin Sam watched the screens that had angles all over the city, if things got bad all Sam had to do was press the big red button that said stop or verbalize his commands, either way he didn’t see how Alexandra could get hurt.

The image of a metal room began to blur slightly and soon, Alexandra found herself standing on the side of a road. A city, road, old cars parked on both sides, huge trees, red brick buildings. Her eyebrow rose with curiosity. She wondered what's it gonna be... A stalker? A sentinel? Her eyes fell on the giant blue turtle graffiti from the pavement. Pokemon?
Then on the old lady standing on the other side, with a shopping cart that soon she began to push, her intention probably being to cross the street. With the corner of her eye, she caught the glimpse of an incoming car.
Alexandra blinked surprised. Her intention was to laugh but stopped. Come on! Save an old lady from being hit by a car? Now this is a true test to see if she was a spy. The one that made it must have been a genius. Or just have a strange sense of humor.
Her hand raised up as the street seemed to bend, creating a wave that made the old lady to be transported back to safety. With another wave she created another wave behind her to prevent her from being thrown in the wall. Making a fist from her hand, Circe turned the street flat again, few seconds later, the car driving away with no incident.
She shrugged. Remembering her training session from the Mondragon Labs, she actually appreaciated Slate for the choice he had made back there.

“Mmm, interesting.” Shin touched a finger to his lips, thinking. The simulation had gone off without a hitch, but he wondered how she’d do in a combat situation. Maybe… he leaned inwards, speaking into the microphone. “Hey Alexandra. Would you like to try a combat simulation? We’re interested in seeing how your powers work for self-defense.”

If she didn’t want to, he’d accept a ‘no’. Still, it was too good of a chance to pass up. He pulled away from the microphone, speaking to Sam.

“For this one, we can use one of your simulations. I get the feeling I let my imagination run a bit too wild on the last one.” His eyes fell on the Blastoise staring up at Alex from the street.

Grinning at the job well done Sam patted Shin on the back who was ready to pick up one of his simulations. “Got a better idea,” opening the glass that separated the god room from the rest of the Danger room Sam said, “Come on, think out of the box!” Sam jumped from the window and yelled, “Look out bellow!” as he created a slide that circled around for a bit then touched down to the ground. Once on the ground Sam slid for a bit and then stood up.

Waiting for shin to follow on the slide or use his barriers to come down Sam grinned towards Al and said, “Though I’d be a little creative for this one Al, we are going to play a game of keep away!” Sam looked to the God room and yelled, “Computer Flags!” the ground opened up in a small circle and one brightly covered red belt appeared, “Here” Sam said as he picked it up and handed off to Alexandra.

Looking at the screen now Sam said, “Computer Ten minutes count down on the clock.” Grinning at Alex, he said, “Object of the game is you keep those three Velcro flags on you at all times, me and Shin here are going to try and take them. You can use your power all you want, Shin and me can only defend and maneuver but we can take the flags without our powers…” Sam smiled and flashed a small friendly wink Alexandra’s way as he tapped shin on the shoulder and walked off to the opposite side of the danger room.

Looking to shin once he reached the wall he smiled and said, “The room is going to work against us, it’ll have traps, and road blocks trying to get us from getting to her, basiclly it’s us two verses Al and the room, think of this as training.” Sam put his hand on the wall and called out “Ready” turning his head to Shin he said, “Make sure you don’t hurt her alright?” he said with a smile knowing that if he could help it Shin would never hurt a resident, “Set….GO!”

As she was waiting more or less patient down in the Danger Room, Alexandra soon found herself accompanied first by Sam and moments later Shin. Of course, a big entrance included, as they got down on an ice slide.
Circe closed her eyes and rotated her neck tired as she waited to see what this was about. And she soon found out that Sam's creativity was going to turn into a guard away game.
As three flags and a red belt appeared, Sam handed the items to her and proceeded to explain her what she was supposed to do.
Her current mission was to keep those three flags away from Sam and Shin for 10 minutes, the Danger Room being on her side this time. She blinked, nodded at the two other mutants and put the belt on. As they went to the other side of the room, Alexandra thought those are gonna be the longest 10 minutes of her life.
"Ready" she heard Sam call out, then turned to Shin and added "Make sure you don’t hurt her alright?”
She huffed. Boys. Why did he think she needed him to tell Shin not to hurt her? She exhaled, annoyed. Too bad she was planning to play the weak this time. She smiled as she watched the two men getting ready.
“Set….GO!” Sam said as the Danger Room came to life.
"Let's see what you got!" she said calmly.

“Um… I’ll take the stairs…” Shin turned and walked himself down to ground level, stepping out just in time to catch Sam’s description of the scenario. It seemed fun. He wasn’t sure it was the best usage of their time, though… they’d already determined what her power was, and seen an example of its application. Still.

“The room is going to work against us, it’ll have traps, and road blocks trying to get us from getting to her, basiclly it’s us two verses Al and the room, think of this as training.” Sam put his hand on the wall and called out “Ready” turning his head to Shin he said, “Make sure you don’t hurt her alright?”

“Alright, and why do you keep worrying I’ll hurt her Sam?” She seemed strong enough to handle herself...

“Set….GO!”

“… that didn’t answer my question, but okay.” Shin darted in low with his left hand reaching out to grab a flag while his right went to grasp one of her wrists. How things went from here was all about how she deflected that grapple. How good was she at dodging, he wondered...

Grinning at the over eagerness of Shin to get this game of keep away started Sam quickly followed his lead keeping an eye out for traps and things that could be labeled as dangerous. Grinning to Shin as he picked up the pace running towards Circe, “Just giving you a hard time bud- hwoa!” Sam yelled as the platform he was running on lift up and turn inward to reveal a deep hole in the ground.

Sliding towards the hole Sam put some ice and covered the hole sending him sliding to the other tilted platform which triggered something because the started to push them selves in closing in on Sam. “Oh!” Sam said slightly surprised that the Room was pulling all the stops out. To put him out of the game early, he didn’t hear Shin yell for help so he figured the room would target one at a time but then again he could be wrong.

The walls were closing in on him now, as he had to think fast. Sam skated on his ice and then tucked and rolled to just barley making it out of the walls closing in on him, “Close” Sam said as he got up and spotted Shin closing in on Circe. Was it going to be this easy?

Spotting movement from above Sam spotted a gun pop out of the side of the wall, he wasn’t worried about Circe after all the room was supposed to protect her, ”Shin! Rubber Bullets! To your left!” Sam was to far to throw up an ice wall and he couldn’t attack the gun after all they could only defend and maneuver.

It took Sam a minute and a few dodges of the rubber bullets to get to her and Shin but he was closing in on her, “Better think quick Al!” Sam called out with outstretched hands.
