Kitty smiled and laughed as Riff~Raff and Aqua began training/playing. She watched and could easily see it was a fun yet effective way to train. Maybe they could pair up each time after doing their own specific training. It'd be cool, she thought. She was going to tell them to play nice but smiled again as she saw that she didn't need to.
Turning to D'mnchyld, she grimaced a little as the girl cut herself and allowed herself to bleed a little. She watched as the droplets of blood turned into little demons before they hit the snow, and she tilted her head in curiousity as she watched them talk and then saw two of them fight. "I wanted to discuss a few things with you, as well as ask a few questions. First, I want you to refrain from cutting yourself if you don't need to, okay? I think only in a serious situation you should do it, like in an important fight or something. Also, I have an idea. What would you say to going on a special diet where you eat a lot of iron and vitamins, and exercise a bit so you can have much stronger blood, therefore much stronger demons? Which also makes me wonder, can you understand them or speak or command them?" she asked, looking from the little demons to k'8.
While she waited for an answer from k'8, Kitty heard someone else come onto the courts. It was Clutch. She smiled, happy to see her back from Finland. "Hello Anastasia! How was Finland? And of course you can join!" she said, nodding and waving back. She saw her summon a bag with her telekinesis, and hearing its contents, she smiled. "Sure, that'll be fine! A little treat to look forward to after working hard," she said with a little giggle.
"For you, Anastasia, I've laid things out of different sizes and weights for you to try to lift up and control. Practice with them while everyone else continues doing their thing, okay?" she said as she pointed out the objects she laid out on one side of the court where no one had yet been.

Clutched widened her grin and nodded lightly toward Shadowkat. "Ya, it was fun, my family were very happy i go back for seeing them." she cheered, "And they find now that i am more not bad, which is good." she added with a small nod before putting more energy out and pushing the small bag over toward the edge of the court to not be disturbed. She felt it best to get something for everyone that she had met before at the christmas party, but she knew that other students would have joined...soo she hoped she had enough.
She spotted the motioned to area for her and nodded, smiling a little more softly at the thought of being involved before she had even arrived. "Thanks you much Shadowkat, very nice of you." she said sweetly before she half skipped over toward her place on the court.
Thinking to start off small, Clutch looked at the small formation of pebbles on a neat pyramid. Deciding that she would try individual movement before any collective thing, she tried to pull one toward her, feeling it shoot forward rather fast, and, if she didn't duck....would have hit her. ok....maybe not hard objects first... she thought warily.

"What do you mean 'refrain from cutting myself'?" Katie said in a slightly mocking tone. "You sound like my mother or my old therapist, and I hear that gummy worms have lotsa iron and stuff in 'em anyways." She looked back to her little friends fighting while the third cowered a little from Kitty mumbling up to k'8.
"I wont tell you what he said" D'mnchyld looked up to say to Kitty, "you would probably not like it. Besides I thought I could do this here, I mean it is my power and all."
She watched them play for a little while until the drops of blood that they were conscripted from lost their potentcy, their life essence, and the doorway to where ever they came from shut. They evaporated in a puff of gray whispy smoke that seemed to get sucked in to another dimension.
"I'm just messin with you Miss Pryde, If you want me to eat better then I guess so if it would keep my friends with me a little longer. But I'm serious about no spinach, or bruslesprouts, and no really big pills. I like Flintstone vitamins, mostly the Dino's and Barney's." She said with a shrug knowing she would probably still cut in her room anyway.

Heather laughed as she watched Riker take her hit. A eurphoric feeling of pride and joy spread through her body. She was getting better, considering when she first arrived to the school, she didn't even know how to summon her powers. She looked smirk to Riker as he placed himself in his "dog" stance. "Thank you," she said proudly. "You aren't that bad yourself. But don't bring gender into this." That was the one thing Heather hated the most: gender comparison. She was able to be just as strong, if not more, than a male. Hell Aideen was able to beat Ian if she wanted to. The thought made her giggle. She looked around them. Although it was winter still, she couldn't feel the cold. That was good. It meant she was working hard. Her strength however was weaker now and she was too tired to continue her training. By sections, Heather brought the pool water back into the pool, otherwise the temperature would create an ice rink out of the basketball court. Riker laughed as the girl lifted the water. "Dear, gender has nothing to do with this. My sister could whoop my ass any day. I'm just making an observation" he said with a smirk. He stretched out his limbs slightly. "Don't get cocky though dear, that will be your down fall one day, anyways, I was only using a portion of my strength, maybe next time I'll actually go all out" he said with a smirk. The statement was truthful, but he didn't intend it to insult her in any way, but the truth was he wanted to gage her before even remotely showing her how strong he actually was. He knew better than to let someone he was sparing with see all his strength. That was just plain stupid when it comes to fighting. He smiled at the girl before looking at Miss. Pryde. "If you don't mind Miss Pryde I think I'll begin running a little now. She looks a little tired to go anymore, I think it's best she rests some" he said with a smile walking towards her and the other two girls.

Cyclops had led the new boy up to the mansion from the garage, he wanted to make sure everyone was getting in to the swing of training and teamwork. He watched a moment and saw how wonderfully Kitty was utilizing her people to help one another train, and decided to wait a moment and let the young man take it all in with him.
Seeing Kitty take pause to speak with one of the darker looking children he knew it wasn't quite time to interrupt, but when she glanced over and saw him there with the boy he led him over to her.
"Hello Shadowkat, the team looks great. I want to introduce this young man. He is your newest New Mutant member, Onyx. I'll be watching over his motorcycle-" Scott raised an eyebrow above his ruby quartz sunglasses as if to say 'he's already broken one rule so watch out for him' while he patted the pocket of his denim blue jeans where he held the boys keys. "-You have the privilege of watching over him."
"This is your Team Leader- Kitty Pryde, otherwise known as Shadowkat. She is responsible for each of these students and she is in charge of you too. Follow her instructions and I'm sure you will do fine." He spoke slowly so the boy with the limited English vocabulary would grasp some of what he said.
'Emma will have to do something about communication' he thought and then his eyes fell on Clutch and he smiled as he wondered if she spoke German, and said to Kitty "Do you know if Clutch speaks German?"

Kitty looked at D'mynchyld as she spoke, letting out a sigh and nodded. "I know it's your power, but I meant I would you to do it only when you need to is all. And good, we can work on your diet. I promise no spinach or brussel sprouts, or big pills, I don't like them either," she said with a wink. "I was thinking just healthier food, and yes, Flintstones vitamins too. That good with you?" she asked, looking from her to the little demons that soon dissipated.
Turning to Riff~Raff and Aqua, she smiled as she watched them and then when the boy stopped so Aqua could rest, she nodded in response to Riker's request to run. "Go ahead, don't stray too far, okay?" she said with another smile.
She looked around at her students training and in her little scan of the area, she saw Cyclops approch with a dark looking boy. "Hello Scott," she greeted with a smile and grinned more when he complimented their training session. She looked to the boy and smiled with a nod, and then looked back to Cyclops as he spoke more. She also didn't miss the look he gave when he raised an eyebrow, she saw it as a signal to be watchful of the boy.
When she was introduced, she smiled warmly at the boy named Onyx. "Hello," she said, tilting her head slightly. As Clutch was mentioned, she looked to her. "I believe she might. Clutch, could you come here for a second?" she asked with a smile, waving her over a little.

Clutch was still trying to not get herself killed by being hit by flying obecjt which still seemed very hard and harmful, none the less she needed to practise. "ARG!!! nyt kuluva on hölmö!" *ARG!!! this is stupid!*[/tt] she screamed, stomping her foot lightly on the ground and glaring at the multipal pile of objects she was to practise with. She couldn't get the hang of it at all, after the holidays she was so out of practise she either used too much thought, in which case the item shot at her full speed, or she used to little and it refused to move.
Her head shot up as she heard Shadowkat say her name, she looked over and smiled gently. Leaving the messed up pile of random things and walked over to hear teamleader. Noticing the headmaster she dipped her head slightly before greeting him too. "Hallo sir, i hope you are good ya?" she asked with a grin. She always liked to smile at people, as they usually smiled back. "Ya Shadowkat, you vish me?" she said with a tiled head.

"It's good to see you back Clutch. I hope you had a nice visit home" he said to Anastasia and then to the three of them, Clutch, Onyx and Shadowkat he said "If you will excuse me- and keep up the good work!" Scott looked over the team once again and smiled as he left them to their practice.

Sara smiled when she heard Cyclops ask if Clutch spoke German. Finally there was something that she might be able to do after a whole day of sitting shivering in the cold being useless while everybody else practiced their powers. At home she spoke Yiddish which was very closely related to German and thus she had no problem understanding German and being understood by German speakers. Glancing furtively over at the new boy and then to Cyclops and Ms. Pryde Sara said, "I can help if you want. I speak Yiddish and its really close to German so there should be little to no problem being understood."

Kitty nodded as Cyclops excused himself and left the new boy with her. She smiled warmly at him and turned to Clutch. "Anastasia, can you understand and speak German?" she asked, and then looked to Elixir as she came up and spoke. She smiled at her as she listened, and nodded. "Alright then," she replied to the girl, "We can try that."
Turning around to see where the rest of her students were, she called each one by name, "k'8, Heather, Riker, please come join me, Sara, and Anastasia." When they came, she extened a hand to indicate the new boy, "Guys, this is Onyx, he's our newest team member, so let's all give him a warm welcome," she said, smiling at her group and then at Onyx.
Looking at each of them after they were training, she turned to Aqua, who looked tired. "Heather, you look very tired. If you want, you can leave if you want. You've done a lot, and you've done a good job today. Riker, you as well. You've done well and you can go relax if you like," she said, looking to the two who had been playing and training at the same time.

After introducing herself to Onyx and waiting a bit to give him time to become acquainted with everybody else in the group, Sara turned to Ms. Pryde and asked her the question that had been burning on her mind since she first got to training that morning. "Ms. Pryde...do you have an assignment for me today or am I just supposed to observe for now?" Secretly she wondered if there would ever be an assignment for her. Unlike the other kids she simply could not practice her power, if she even had a power at all. She wasn't entirely convinced that the incident with her grandmother wasn't a neis, a miracle from heaven, that had nothing at all to do with any force under her control.

Riker nodded to the boy looking at him curiously. "Welcome to the team" he said simply before nodding to Miss. Pryde. He wanted to get started with his running. He jogged slowly over to the side of the basket ball court. She didn't want him to go to far, so he thought he'd run over to the hedge maze and back in a big circle. He'd use that as his route, that way he could practice keeping a constant fast speed and control over his movements. He crouched down on all fours and then took off starting at a good speed of around 85 kph. It would be good for him. Running always helped him when he was consumed by thought.

Kitty smiled as Onyx was welcomed by Elixir and Riff~Raff. As she heard Sara speak to her, she turned to her and smiled. "Ahh, Sara. You won't really be doing anything today, but I do have plans for you. Because your ability is to bring back the dead with your tears, you need a secondary ability. I was thinking I might teach you some of the martial arts I know. It can come in quite handy. What would you say to that?" she asked, a small smile on her face.

Heather laughed at Riker when he told her he didn't use the majority of his powers on her. She nodded and then smirked. "Well don't worry about me hon. Great practicing with you." She took several breaths of the cold fresh air and was able to relax and gain some energy back. For the day however, she was done with using her powers. Using that much water and controlling its shape too, was a lot to ask so far. However she liked the fact she was even able to accomplish that much so soon.
Heather looked to Anastasia when she arrived and smiled warmly. "Hey Anastasia," she said. She liked the Finnish girl. Their short encounter during the Christmas Party was amusing and she seemed to be a nice, well rounded person. Heather nodded her head to Cyclops as the headmaster appeared with a new student. Wow, they just keep finding more and more, she thought. She was surprised that so many new students were coming in at the current rate. It appeared that the Mutant X gene was truly beginning to "sprout".
She nodded to Shadowkat when she offered her to leave practice for the day. "I think that would be wise," she said with a giggle. "Didn't really expect to get this tired so soon." As she gathered her energy and finished placing all the pool water back, she walked over to the new student when her leader proposed her to meet him. He seemed odd, however had this "bad ass" look to him. She didn't really have an opinion on him yet. Granted he was attractive, however not drawn to him as she was to Ian; well... still is to Ian. "Hello," she said kindly and then stood back to watch Anastasia and Sara attempt to speak to the German boy in his native tongue.

"That sounds great," Sara said enthusiastically to Ms. Pryde. "I'm not in really good shape but I'll try to keep up and should get there in time." She was worried that she might dissapoint her teacher as in all honesty she had always been pretty badly coordinated and about as unathletic as anybody could ever be.
