Ian listened closely to Colossus and then picked up the gloves and slid them on. "Yea man, I used to watch those on tv all the time. Like those Ninja movies and stuff. That's pretty radical. Knarly idea there Teach," he said to his leader and was quite excited as well as impressed by this practice. He was a pretty good boxer since his dad was a boxer and they used to work out on the punching bags in the garage together.
Ian studied the brick wall and balled his gloved hands into fists. He brought both fists up and put all his concentration at the wall. Bringing his fist back, he shot it forward and hit the wall with all his strength, making a deep crack appear in the wall. Unfortunately it also cause one in Ian's fist. "Aw crap that hurt!" he exclaimed as he began cursing explicitly and feeling his broken feeling fingers. He moved his fingers around for awhile and they began to feel slightly better.
Ian raised his other fist and prepared to hit the wall again. Hey maybe this time he'll break it in half! He never realized he had such a hard punch. It's kinda awesome. If he can crack a brick wall, he could KILL a person.... that was so radical!

Colossus watched him throw his first punch and was impressed with the hit and his form. "Very good Ian. You have had some training before. Did they ever teach you not to aim for the spot you want to hit, but to try and hit a spot six inches behind your target, as if punching through it?" It was just a suggestion. He knew that if Ian practiced hard enough and got his strength up he could possibly punch through a Sentinal.

Aleksey zoomed down to the Lawn, he landed in front of Colossus. "Sorry I'm late sir" he said, "there was something important I had to do" he added as he thought of his loving Leah.
He looked around and saw other team mates training hard, something he should too since he was too much of a nuisance in his first encounter with the brotherhood.

"I know you don't like me much Colossus, but at least I showed up for your practice not like this guy and I will do what you ask so OK? If you want big then HERE!" Kevin said and tried to make the biggest thing he could. It was a replica of the Epcot Center sphere that he had visited when he was a smaller boy with his parents before they found out he was gay and then they hated him. At least being a mutant was no big deal to them after that, but it added to him being weird and he just wanted to die sometimes.
It wasn't very acurate, his light-sculpt of the sphere was a bit off because he was upset, but it was certainly huge. It wasn't the real size of the actual one in Epcot center, but it was taller than the mansion. It was extremely fragile because it had to be so thin to make it so very big, and when the wind blew on it because of it's impropper design it began to crack and Kevin cried out "It's goona break EVERYBODY RUN! I'M SORRY!' He knew the thin filaments of light would be sharp enough to cut anyone in half so he grabbed Shimmer by the wrist to pull her away from the danger.
He might not like her for 'stealing' Riff~Raff from him, but he couldn't let Riker's love be hurt. No that would be wrong, and it would be all his fault. "Come on if it shatters and we're out here we could die! Run!!"

Ian grinned big at Colossus and looked at the brick wall, thinking about six inches from the spot he wanted. He moved around the wall that barely had another a crack in it ready to punch it when he heard Hardlight shouting. What is up with that kid? The next thing he knew there was a giant ball like sculpture. Ian stopped to look at it in wonderment before he saw a crack run through the thin light scuplture and Hardlight begab shouting. "Sh*t!" Ian cried and ran straight to Lorelai.
He scooped her up in his arms and ran like hell to take cover behind a large tree. "I gotcha Pipsqueek," he said as he cradled her behind a tree. "God damn, can we ever get a day where we dont have this sh*it to go through?" Ian shouted angryily. He had enough after yesterday and now even his easy going attitude was starting to get tested.

Aleksey heard Hardlight's remark, he felt really bad for being late. "I'm very sorr..." Aleksey said, but before he could finish the sentence, Hardlight yelled for everyone to run, without hesitating, Aleksey spread his wings wide and flew straight at Hardlight and Shimmer that were running away, he grabbed them by the arms and flew up out of the way.

Lorelai was trying to maintain her concentration as she heard Hardlight sound as if he was angry, or at least getting there. She wanted to try what she just did again, but hearing him made her look over to him with a confused and slightly annoyed face. Why did he have to complain? He seemed to fit in enough, at least she thought so.
The confused look became one with wide eyes as she saw him make a would-be replica of the Epcot ball, and its size was huge. She saw the wind affect it a bit and saw it crack as he started yelling. "Bloody he-"she began to say with an annoyed look, and was about to get up and run when Ian came and picked her up. When they were behind the tree, she smiled up at him, "Thank you," she said and kissed his cheek. She looked around the side of the tree when he shouted in anger, and seeing the glass ball's creator on the run, her smile turned into a frown. "What the hell is his problem? Like yesterday wasn't enough!" she said angrily, her Bostonian accent more apparent as she glared at the boy as he ran and then got picked up by the dragon boy.

Aleksey slowly descended back to the ground and placed Shimmer and Hardlight down gently. "Are you alright?" he asked them both.

Colossus watched as everyone sprung into action at the threat of the large energy globe. Once Everyone was in cover Colossus's body turned into its metal form and he reached up and punched the light globe shattering it. Shaking his head still as all the light fragments showered down over him. It was a good reaction by Ian and Guardian. "Very good job Ian and Guardian. I am impressed by your reaction and quick thinking." He then turned and looked to Kevin.
"Kevin I am not sure what your problem is, or why you feel the need to act this way. I have never said I didn't like you. If fact I think you are very intelligent. BUT I will not tolerate this kind of behavior. Your actions nearly got everyone hurt. If you are going to lose your temper like this and ruin the practice for your team and class-mates. I will have to bench you and confine you to your dorm till your ready to actually try." He reached up and ran his hand through his hair.
"Alright everyone, lets get back to what we were doing. The show is over." He grumbled and turned walking back to the section of wall he had set up for Ian and examining it.

Aleksey wasn't sure what was going on, he just got there. He walked up to Colossus and tapped him on the shoulder, "sir?" he said, "what should I do?"

"I don't have a problem, you do!" Kevin said and he pointed a finger at him. "I was here and I want to learn and you just want to make me go to my room? You are not my Daddy you know!"
He walked up to Colossus in his armored form and looked right into his face yelling "You think I can't do anything, just like him? Well I'm better than that, you don't know it but I am. I'm a good boy a good student and all and I just want to be a part of everything, and so what if I'm weird! I know you guys don't like me, it's nothing new for me. Why do you want to yell at me all the time?"
"It's all your fault, you said make something big, what else do you want? I'm trying and I'm wanting to be a part of your team, please don't throw me out, everybody throws me out- WHY !!??!!" Kevin said as he got exasperated and ran out of breath looking around at each of his team mates and then at his team leader thinking how he was about to get run out of some other thing that he was starting to care about. "Can I stay? Pleeaase?" he pleaded.

Gently coming out of Ian's grasp now that the giant light sculpture was eradicated, Lorelai came out from their hiding place as she heard Hardlight's outburst. She didn't get why he was acting the way he was, and she wasn't afraid to say it as she came out. "Hardlight, nobody hates you...and we want you to be part of the team...what do you think Colossus has been trying to do this whole time..have a team practice," she said, her accent still quite pronounced because she was still annoyed.
She walked nearer to him and shook her head. "Look, I'm going to be blunt. No one wants you to go, youre the one who doesn't want to be around us, always wanting to go to your room to practice. Okay? And you are a part of the team, though it may not seem like it to you since you refuse to act like a teammate and cooperate with us!" she said, a fist clenching. She was tenser than she thought and currently had a short fuse, and if he had an issue with her, then he could take it up with her.

A very noticeable frown came on Ian's face following Hardlight's outburst and particularly when Lorelai left his protective grip. She looked about as happy as he did. They were both so tired with all these fights and accidents from the past day that it was just too much. Ian got up and wrapped his arms around Lorelai's waist from behind, pulling her into his chest. He comfortingly rubbed her sides, wanting her to calm down.
"Calm down babe, it alright. Look Hardlight, we're all a team. I mean we got each other's backs. But its a two way deal dude. We got your back and you got ours and we all work together," Ian said with a sigh. He was slightly annoyed but nonetheless he realized the kid was probably having trouble adjusting. He wondered what Colossus would do to handle this.
He continued to rub Lorelai's sides, calming her down the best as he could. He could do a better job of that later but for now this was the best he could do.

"All I did was show up and talk about the weather. He told me I wasn't good enough HIM !" Hardlight said pointing to Colossus. "Then he wants something BIG, so I gave him big and I just don't want to be ignored like I'm worthless anymore."
He saw the ice princess's hands balling up into fists and his own rage grew. "So what if I'm not as good as you! Do you really think I care if you and that guy are happy and allowed to be holding hands and nobody thinks anything bad about it? Do you! Well?" Kevin was becoming more emotional and more emotional with every word he was talking the things that he was feeling had been building up for a long time and he had never been able to say any of it before.

Lorelai didn't hesitate to glare at the boy, his overdramatic attitude was driving her nuts. Her glare softened when she felt Ian wrap his arms around her from behind and heard him say to calm down. She took a breath and sighed when he kept rubbing her sides, but hearing Hardlight carry on angered her again. Fuse blown. "Take that up with Colossus on your own time then, don't take it out on us and almost kill us all! A good portion of us almost died yesterday, thanks, and no one's ignoring you, if you don't have friends, this is where you go out and make some!"
She let out a low grumble as he kept going, and she quickly retorted, "Who said I was better than you? Does it even matter? Does it even have anything to do with what just happened? And what does it matter to you about Ian and I? We're together. And? People can see that, and they don't have a problem with it like you seem to! What the hell is your issue?" she said, her voice getting louder as she got more pissed off. She was tired of bullcrap and was in no mood to deal with any of it.
