Niki looked up at Ms.Frost and thought how much she hated her for being right, then she realized a moment too late that Emma already knew that, and she smiled. She almost said something, but then she remembered her agreement in the genetics-lab and held her tongue.

"Let's go Haven, we have yet to see the Acolytes and your old Team Leader Colossus." Emma said as she turned to walk away. Her concern over Cyclops appointment of Ember to the position of Team Leader was proved to be unfounded. Ms.Frost knew the girl was capable, but she didn't think the way Cyclops did, not in a military way- no she would have waited. His choice was more than acceptable, Ember was a natural leader.
Emma wondered how the girl would feel when she had to hand the reins over to a different Team Leader and resume her role as team member.

Lian bit her lip. As long as she concentrated, she might be able to take Jumper out unharmed, but she had never really tried taking other people through objects before. If she let go of Jumper halfway across...she didn't like to think of the result. She grinned at Jumper. Even in the midst of all this, he was still able to hit her with a jokey remark. 'Wait until next week and I might have a razor-sharp reply to that' she laughed. She took his hand and prepared to lead him out through the ring of flames.

"You have only know me such a short time and your already holding my hand. Isn't that sweet." He grinned and winked. Squeezing her hand tight. She had already rescued him from the tentacles in the danger room by doing this, so he had faith in her that she could handle this as well. "Ok, its a date, next week, you, me, and yoru witty comeback." Nodded and turned towards the fire. "Lets get out of here, its getting a bit to hot."

Lian winked back. 'It's a date. Hold tight, its about to get a lot hotter' She started walking through the flames, still going slowly. She wanted to make sure she got herself out before her team mate - not something she would normally even consider doing. In these circumstances however, she thought it would be easier to extracate Jumper from the flames after she had first cleared herself. 'Walk towards me and don't let go of my hand' she said to him, doing her best not to sound patronising.

Jumper moved quickly out of the fire circle holding onto Ripple's hand until he was completely out of the fire and away from it. Looking to himself to make sure he wasn't on fire he grinned wide and released her hand. "That was GREAT!" He patted himself down and spun around. "It was like swimming through air!" It was hot indeed. But he had made it out unharmed.

Aideen watched with cool calm eyes as she her two teammates came out of the flames. Job well done in her opinion but it could have been done in much less time. When faced with a dangerous situation there was no time to talk, and Ripple should have gone in and once she was sure she had control just get Jumper right out. After making sure they were far enough out of the fire, Aideen held out her hand and that very hot and powerful blaze sped right into her arm, her body absorbing and taking in the heat and flames as they disappeared from sight.
Aideen walked up to her two team members with her water bottle at hand. She looked at them both with her usual stony expression for a moment before she spoke. "Very well done. Though Ripple, if you ever encounter this sort of situation again, keep your mind on the task and do what you have to do without wasting your breath talking. Save it for when it is safe," she said softly to her teammate. It had been a long morning and for the most part, a good practice. She observed earlier that Ms. Frost had already left and looked back to the school.
"You are all dismissed and I hope you have learned something from todays practice. Until the next practice I ask that each of you take at least a half an hour out of your day and go for a run to keep you muscles warm and pliable. You may go," Aideen said as she looked at the three team members.

Jumper relaxed as he was dismissed and rolled his neck around a bit. Looking over to Ember he smiled and winked. "Good work out, SO you want half an hour each day of running. Got it. Now I think its time to get something to eat. Im starving!" Jumper turned to Ripple and smiled with a wink. Ill meet you back at the mansion." And with that he was gone in a blur. Running back to the mansion towards the kitchen.

Sad yet complacent Katana watched the practice between the other members. She was ready to leave when their leader dismissed them. She looked over at Jumper and watched him disappear and she looked back at the two other members. She wiped some mud off her face, turned around and started to trudge back to the mansion. She felt horrible and wanted to wipe this practice from her conscience.

Lian shrugged and began making her way after Jumper. 'Katana, you coming?' she said to the other girl, trying to be friendly. 'I don't want to sound stupid, but what's your power?' She didn't remember seeing Leah use her powers, nor did she think she had heard anyone mention them during the practice. She carried on walking back to the mansion as she spoke, having enjoyed the practice but quite glad it was over so she could have some time to herself for a bit.

Jumper was back in an instant walking next to Katana and Ripple. He had went to the kitchen to get a couple more bottles of fresh cold water. Offering the bottles to Ripple and Katana, he turned to see if Ember was walking back with them or not. "That was fun wasn't it? Except for you Katana, that looked rough, you ok?"
So Lian, where are we going on our date?" He grinned and winked.

'Oh thanks' Lian said, taking a bottle. She looked at him mischeviously. 'You decide' she smiled. 'I like my guys assertive' She pulled the kirby grips out of her hair and tucked them into the pocket of her tracksuit. She could feel the material of her uniform and rolled up one of her sleeves to examine it.

Raising and eyebrow at that he chuckled and nodded. "I see, I will have to remember that. " As he moved closer to Lian. He reached over and took her other arm and slipped it onto his as they walked, trying this assertive thing out. Taking a drink of water. He was only wearing his uniform now. The fire and all his running had all but destroyed his track suit.

Lian laughed and dumped the remaining contents of her water bottle over his head. 'Careful,' she warned him, 'You're starting to smoke' She ran a hand through her hair. She wasn't concentrating much on where she was going, just heading in the general direction of the mansion. She avoided a patch of mud and continued in a straight line.

Aideen watched her team begin to head back to the mansion and she waited patiently for her team to be out of view. She then sighed and walked over to the charred lines on the ground and used her foot to cover them up. The day had not gotten any warmer and she felt the blistering cold wind against her face. Thankfully Aideen's body was still warm from when she summoned back her fire and from the workout. Otherwise she probably would not be so well off.
When she covered the last line, Aideen looked up at the woods with her large dark eyes. The wind whipped her thick dark hair around her, despite the fact that her bandanna held it in place. Images of her nightmare flashed through her head, still as vivid as if she just had it again. The look on Logan's face as Sabretooth ripped his heart out sent chills through her unnaturally warm body. And no matter what she did, Aideen couldn't rid herself of the feeling of being pinned down by Sabretooth, his talons on her skin... she hated the feeling. She would not be able to go into the woods for a long time. On top of that she would have to keep up the facade that everything was alright with her. She would act as normal as possible and not let on what she had done and what she had been through. That was her secret and she would never shame herself with letting everyone know what she was responsible for. She wished she had never come to this school at time. The heartache she was experiencing was more painful than anything else she could have ever imagined.
She stared into the woods with hurt and pain evident in her eyes. For a long time she just stared at the forest not moving. A strong wind blew against her face, knocking her out of her trance. With one last look at the forest Aideen turned on her heel and silently made her way back to the mansion, allowing the mask to go back into place.
