Kitty sort of slid into the Danger quietly. It was just outside here, no more than a half hour ago, that Gambit gave her such a fright. Now he was in the room, ready with the rest of everyone.
Chill Katherine.. she though, This guy, he might be ok..
Still, she couldn't help but feel uneasy about it all. It reminded her of Lance, after all..

"Oh yeah, you'll see," said a voice over the loud speaker before the very air around them would shift and suddenly they'd be in a very different place then a round room.
What was once a circular steel chamber would now be a pine tree strewn forest, the sounds of night time animals coming from all directions. It wouldn't be night just yet however, the cloud strewn sky having a purplish western glow, which would have a rather similar effect on the fog that surrounded the trio.
"I was going to run this little program on two little jerky snatching runts, but then our new recruit here suddenly appeared and well.. lets just say Kurt and Spyke are nowhere to be found," said Logan's voice from what appeared to be out of no where.
"It was probably for the better, as the program Hank helped me cook up was really made for the most experienced of our team. I was even a bit hesitant for that, but now that you have dear old Remy here, I've decided it's time just to see how the two oldest students here have learned through out their years at the Academy."
Suddenly, from the darkening forest to the east, a blood curling howl would split the night. It was obvious it was not a wolf, too deep, to rumbling, to... for lack of a better term... evil. The sounds of the night time animals would cease, replaced by the sounds of multiple birds shooting into the night sky and the sound of small animals scurrying through the forest. Their direction? Away from the ghoulish howl that had come from the west.
"Oh and you get Kitty's help too.. trust me.. you're going to need it."

Gulp!
Kitty edged toward the familiar silhouettes of the team, and the sudden surroundings hissed and shifted menacingly all around.
There really was no Danger Room anymore. That place was another plane, just second ago and worlds apart. Twigs crunched under her boots as she came closer.

"Still just a round room Gambit?" Jean asked as the surroundings changed. It was always exciting during a new session, you never knew what to expect and at times it could be fun but other times it was a tad upsetting especially when you failed.
She looked to Scott, he was always team leader. She could hear the howl getting closer and to tell the truth it freaked her out a bit. Even though she had powers a noise like that was always an eerie one.
(( lol you have no idea how freaked out I got when I read your post Logan, right when I got to the part about the howl a coyote outside howled....now I'm to wired to sleep)) |

The room changed quickly to a forest type scene. Scott was actually sort of relived when he saw it. Usually Logan's sessions where a bit more tough looking.
"Is this the best you've got?"Laughed Scott. Suddenly he heard the howl and wished he kept his mouth shut."Okay everyone stay together. Splitting up would just cause a panic. Knowing Logan He's gonna try his hardest to take us down."

"What, all it takes to take you people down is a spooky forest and a scary howl. How did Magneto ever lose to you people? I was seriously thinking some laser beams or at least some kind of death trap to spring on us. Even a robot would be better then this."
Gambit took his staff from his back and extended it.
"Well, lets go kill us a boogyman."

Logan would be looking down from the control module, with a mug of coffee held in one hand. Taking a sip, he'd glance over to Rogue and give a bit of a smirk before going to look down at the group below.
"Okay group, time for a little background," came Logan's voice over the loudspeaker. "Each one of you, at the moment, is a member Alpha Flight. Alpha flight is a top secret Canadian government team made up of both "meta-humans" as they are known up in the great white north and skilled humans."
Taking another sip of coffee, he'd hit another switch which would suddenly cause a map and a compass to appear with a blue glow in front of Scott. A folder packed full of police reports and photographs would appear in front of Gambit.
"Your mission is as follows. You've been dropped in a remote part of British Columbia near a small warden outpost town. The town is pretty much made up of Fish and Game service employee's, their families and the people that live in the few remote cottages in the area," came Logan's voice again over the loudspeaker.
"About two weeks ago a few people went missing. They didn't make a big fuss of it at the time. Usually people just wander off to go camping in the wilderness from time to time. Then strange sounds came out of the woods. Sounds that the warden service didn't recognize... then bodies started appearing. Torn up, mangled, partially eaten. Bet you can guess who's bodies they were."
Gambit would be able to find a few photos of the corpses, mangled, bloodied, mauled so bad that they could be barely recognized as humans. One was a human torso missing it's head it's arms.. and most of the organs from it's chest. The other simply looked like somebody had been mauled brutally, then ripped in half.
"As of now, your priority is to make it to the town, which the Canadian government lost contact with sixteen hours ago. Your mission is to evacuate survivors first and if you can, investigate what's been attacking the town's populace second. I'd recommend doing it quickly by the way, it's getting dark and whatever has been doing the killing, well... it's nocturnal."
Scott would be able to find their location on the map, marked with a red circle with the words "Drop Zone" underneath. About a half a mile to the north west is the settlement. Even now, the sun would be sinking over the horizon.

Kitty watched as the sun did settle. It reddened slowly, creating contrast such that what brush and branch wasn't engulfed in the sun's final rays was absolutely lost in the midst of deep shadow.
"Erm, Scott?" Kitty looked around at the surrounding trees. They seemed to be closing in, becoming thicker still with the loss of light.
"..what's the plan?"

"Okay First we find this town then we'll check out those reports." Said Scott.
This was beyond anything the Logan had ever set up before. It was like the was trying to push them to thier limit then push them even harder. Som threat must be emerging soon for him to push them this hard.
"Alright lets move. the town is to the north." Said Scott as he looked at the map and compass.

Gambit listened as Logan told them about the mission. Then Scott came up with a plan.
"Yeah, Yeah. Big scary monster that's probably really a mutant, village in trouble. You guys really have no imagination with your training. I'm pretty sure I have seen this very storyline in a horror movie at one point."
Gambit started walking north with his weapon drawn but his grip a bit lazy.
"Well, are you coming or not. This Boogyman isn't going to stop itself now is it.

Scott just laughed. "It's not that simple. You don't know Logan like we do. There's so much more to this than you think."
Scott easily matched Gambit's steps and walked beside him.

"True, but I don't need to know the man to see where this is goin'. Now time to shut up and get moving. I got other thing to do today that I can't do from in here."
Gambit seemed to start taking the training mission more seriously as he griped his staff more tightly and started to listen for any sounds.
"So everybody shut up and keep moving."

"This isn't how things work around here Gambit. We work as a team, as one whole. Ideas are open and we don't yell at each other." said Scott.
Scott walked forward and took the lead.

"I wasn't yelling, I was tellin' you to shut up. The plan was set so there was no need to make any more sound. I thought I heard somethin' but your mouth blocked it out."
Gambit pushed forward, moving in front of Scott.
"And if you supposed to be a team, why are you givin' out orders. Team's don't have leaders, real teams can work off each others strengths without ever needing orders or even to talk. That's what real teamwork is."

"One I don't act like a leader i just give suggestions on what we should do if you've got an idea then vocalize it. If you heard something just say so instead of telling us to shut up. I find that unessisary." said Scott as he took the leat from Gambit.

Kitty couldn't tell where these guys' ego clash was taking them, but she didn't like the direction it was going. Not with everyone heading North to some grizzly disaster.
"Guys! You're going really fast!"
She struggled to keep up with them as they shoved past one another to be lead.

Jean rolled her eyes why were men like this? They always had something to prove to each other. "Guys cool it ok?" She asked but it was more of a command than anything else. "We aren't going to be able to do anything if you two keep this up." She shook her head; ego got in the way of what little brain men had to use. ((Sorry its short going out to dinner)) |

Gambit stopped talking and just walked. Jean was right, although he hated to admit it, they needed to stop fighting each other and focus on whatever was up ahead. After a few more feet he thought he heard something again and raised his hand, motioning for them to stop.
"Quite."
Gambit stopped moving and closed his eyes, listening into the darkness. Then he jumped into a tree and disappeared. A few moments later he was back.
"Sorry about that. But I found some footprints, and they don't look human. We aren't alone in this forest. Whatever Logan has cooked up is not going to be easy."

"God I really screwed that one up." thought Scott after relizing his mistake.
Suddenly Scott heard something. Gambit had been right from before.
"I heard that too." wishpered Scott looking around to see if he could locate whatever made the noise.
