Liz walked out and over to the elevator. She would've just teleported up, but she wasn't sure how the younger mutant would react to it.

Angel scrabbled after Liz, making it into the elevator a fraction before it closed. She slid in, yanking her tail behind her before the tip was smashed.
"Your people certainly live in an interesting place..." She offered conversationally. And, it would seem, to be a dangerous place as well... She thought, flashing back on the wingless woman in the infirmary. Another shudder ran down her spine. To distract herself from thoughts on a fate worse than death, she asked, "What is this 'Danger Room'? Please tell me it isn't exactly what it sounds like...full of traps and such..."

The elevator opened again to show a control room that overlooked a huge metal room. Liz stepped out and walked over to the control panel and started typing in a command that she wanted to use. She turned around to answer Angel's question, "It depends. Ve can make it look like anyzing ve vant it to. It can be a gymnasium from an Olympic gymnast's dream," She hit a button and such a place popped out from the ground, "Or it can be a place of somevone vorst nightmares."
She sighed and sat down at a chair at the panel. She figured that explaining the danger room now might make it less frightening later, "Zis room vas vonce a very simple vone. Just flying daggers, lazers, zings like zat. Ze Professor used zem to train ze original X-men, but zen it vas up graded, both zis one und ze vone in New York. He used alien technology that used hard light. Vith hard light, ve can create anyzing from a romantic sunset to a distant planet. However, ve alvays have to remember zat zis room is to train... so ja... it can get very dangerous in here."

Angel followed Liz into the control room cautiously. Looking over a panel of control buttons, she could look down into a huge metal room. In awe, she watched as a gymnastic set suddenly appeared in the center of the room, the rest of the shivering into the proper setting. She, herself, shivered at some of Liz's words...
It can be a gymnasium from an Olympic gymnast's dream...Or it can be a place of somevone vorst nightmares....
"Flying daggers and lasers are simple things?" Angel teased lightly, but then frowned. Truth was, a room set up to be dangerous to its owner, on purpose, seemed a very bad idea. Like buying a guard dog, only to practice it's skills on yourself. "If its all electronics, can't it go haywire? Short circuit and such?"
Angel began to wonder if, upon being welcomed as part of this fighting family, she would have to train and prove herself in this strange room...

Liz smiled and nodded, "Compared to vhat it is now, zose are simple zings. As for going hayvire, ve have Kitty for zat. She's our resident computer expert. She fixes vhat she can fix it und orders any parts we can get. If zere isn't a way to replace it, ve have to send an order out to the Shi'ar und trust me. Dealing vith aliens can get touchy at time." She cleared her throat and looked down at the Danger Room, "Sit und relax. If anyvone comes in for me, just send zem down."
She teleported from the control box to the main gym. She had landed on the runway of the parallel uneven bars and she took off running, grabbing onto the lower bar and starting her exercise.

Kitty and Christina entered the danger room control room looking for Liz when they found the new girl.
Kitty: Oh hi. I'm sorry about earlier. Everyone here has been a little on edge lately. My name's Kitty Pryde, and this is Christina Collins. Is Liz around?

Angel flinched before she could help herself, then turned to face Kitty and the new girl, Christina.
"Um...hi...again." She said, mentally chiding herself over how lame that sounded. Steeling herself, she nodded towards the room below. "Liz teleported down there...I think she's setting up one of the training simulations?"

Kitty looks as Tiffany walks into the control room as well. She debates talking about the situation at hand in front of the other two girls. Mainly, she didn't want to worry or scare either of them. She walks to the control panel and sees Liz downstairs starting the gymnastic program. She pressed the intercom to call Liz.
Kitty: Liz. I need to talk to you. Can you come up?

Liz looks up at the control room and nods. She dropped off of the bars and teleported back up into the room. She lands in front of Kitty and can immediately tell that something is very wrong. She reached over with her tail, putting it on the phaser's shoulder, "Kitty? Vas ist wrong?" Suddenly she was very worried.

Kitty takes a steady breath and looks at the other girls in the room. They would probably find out sooner or later, so Kitty decided it wouldn't make much difference if they hear about it here. She faces Liz again with the same grave face she held on the phone.
Kitty: I just received news from the other mansion. A member of the Sovereigns attacked there. There were two causalities, Psylocke and Leech.

Liz blinked in shock before leaning against the wall, her hand over her heart, "Betsy und Jimmy are dead?" She had just seen the little boy just barely a month ago when she was there to talk to Bobby about getting parts for the Danger Room. She and Betsy were never close, but they had swapped training ideas for telepathy on more than one occasion. The teleporter sighed shakily and shook her head, "I can not believe it. I need to get down zere und soon."

Angel listened to the exchange. As she watched Liz's reaction, she was surprised to find that she shared the pain her newly-found friend experienced. Moved by the blow, she lowered her tail and wings in an extended expression of sadness for her newly found friend.
The room tensed at the news and Angel looked to Christina and Tiffany, wondering what was running thought their minds. Liz's words had sound like she was ready for a fight, and if this group of people...what had Kitty called them? The Sovereigns?...if they had killed an extended part of Liz's team, then it sounded like a fight was to be had.
Would she fight with them? Angel pondered on this. Would she go and stand, side to side, with a group of strangers that opened their home to her? A sudden flush of assurance ran though her mind.
Yes.
Yes, these were the sort that you didn't have to be born into their clan to fight along side them.

Tiffany found herself angery with herself for not pausing them when she might have been able to so that she could have just killed Sara and this mess might have ben prolonged. She would have to talk to Ave. ASAP.
"What were their powers?" Tiffany needed information for Emily so that she could tell Dame Himmel Kaiserin of this.

Liz sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose of a moment. Betsy's powers were often hard to explain. She looked up, sighing again, "Betsy's powers vere precognition, telepathy, mental bolts, mind control, telekinesis, und generating illusions. Using her telekinesis, she could create a telekinetic katana. She vas a very powerful voman."
Her red eyes teared slightly as she moved to explain Jimmy. A small smile crossed her face though, "Jimmy...Jimmy vas basically ze source of the cure. He vas able to nullify ze abilities of ozer mutants zat got vithin a six foot radius of him..." She laughed softly as a single tear ran down her face before looking over at Kitty, "He vas finally adjusting to life at ze mansion. It vas you who saved him. Ze two of you vere close."
