(Once the elevator doors opened, Jack made his way to the Danger Room, with Christina trailing close by. The two kept to themselves, not really saying muchThey reached the door, opened it and walked inside. Jack noticed that the lights to the Danger Room were still on. Someone was training very recently. He stood next to the Danger Room simulator and placed his hand on the machine. Jack turned around and looked at Christina, a curious smile on his face.)
Mindcontrol: So what shall you be fighting today?

Christina cracked her knuckles and began to warm up her limbs. She would love to have a simulation of either her gymnastics course or perhaps beating Graydon Creed's face in, but she quickly shook the thoughts out of her head incase Jack might overhear.
Christina: Just the usual, I guess. Haven't sparred in a while.

Mindcontrol: Gotcha.
(He gave the thumbs up as he started messing with the controls. Jack began turning on the Danger Room computer. As he waited for the systems to turn on, he turned to Christina.)
Mindcontrol: Alright, head down there and I'll get things set up here.

Christina made her way down to the danger room. She wrapped her hands up in tape to protect her hands. When she made it to the room, she began fully stretching her entire body for the upcoming session. As soon as she felt she was warmed up and concentrated, she looked up to the control room and gave the thumbs up.
Christina: Ready whenever you are.

(Jack nodded his head. Jack began programming the computer to create some robots. These robots were simple and could easily be defeated by any of the X-men. He wanted to give Christina a simple warm-up before moving on to something more challenging. Jack pressed one of the buttons and a loud horn went off, signaling that the simulation has begun. A moment later, three robots materialized on in the arena below.)

The three robots appeared and began firing a few low-voltage energy blasts at Christina. She immediately began dodging the blasts and running up to the robots. When she came right up to the three, all of them lined up their shots to her. As all three fired, Christina flipped over them, completely missing all the blasts. As soon as she landed, she grabbed one of the robots by the "would-be" shoulders and threw him again the wall. The other two turned into each other and prepared to fire at Christina in the middle. She just smiled and waited until she heard the final hum of their blasters. Then she went into a split, and the two robots shot each other apart.
Christina laughed at the stupidity of the robots, as the one she threw was finally getting up. She stood up and faced the robot. It took aim at her and began warming up its blaster. Christina shook her head and closed her eyes to concentrate. When she opened them, her eyes were glowing a familiar shade. The gun was just finishing its warm up when Christina raised her arm and swiped it across. The robot's blaster was ripped apart from its body. The robot became to spark until it finally shorted out and collasped. Christina turned around and looked up at Jack.
Christina: Is that the best you got?

(Jack raised his eyebrows as he returned the smile. He pressed a button on the intercom and spoke to Christina.)
Mindcontrol: That's just a warm-up doll.
(He placed his hand on his chin, pondering what he was going to use next. He suddenly got an idea for a couple of bad guys. He began programming the computer to create what he wanted. Once he was done, he pressed the button that would make his creations come to life. The horn went off and the second set of enemies materialized. Instead of three robots, there now stood five robots, ninja robots. Each one was equipped with a ninjaken sword and a set of special shurikens that would explode on contact. These robots were more intelligent in their programming than the previous scrape metals. This made it more difficult to destroy, but not impossible.)

Christina almost dropped her jaw when she saw her new adversaries. She looked back up at the control panel up at Jack.
Christina: Seriously.... ninjas? Are you kidding?
At that point, one of the ninjas threw a shuriken at Christina. The shuriken exploded and threw Christina halfway across the room.
Christina: Whoa!!!
Christina stood up to face the five ninjas. Some were preparing to throw more shurikens as the other two were beginning to rush at her with their swords. Christina dodged the swings from the armed ninjas and began to somersault to avoid the exploding shurikens. When she had put a good distance between her and the ninjas, all five began to throw shurikens. Her eyes and hands began to glow and she created a barrier of telekinetic energy around herself. The shurikens continued to bounce off as she held the barrier. Realizing she couldn’t hold it for long, she needed a new plan. When the next raid of shurikens arrived, she dropped the barrier and concentrated on stopping the shurikens. As she caught each one, the shuriken began to glow her color. She then sent all of the shurikens back to one of the ninjas and watched it explode completely.
The other four were catching on and all equipped their swords to attack her. Christina used her telekinesis to take one of the swords from them and began to fight. She swung the sword wildly to block the ninjas’ attacks and also to slice them up. She stabbed the unarmed ninja through the chest and began to beginning finishing the others. She flipped and rolled to avoid their attacks but still managed to cut off limbs and stab the robots until each one finally began fall. Finally, the last ninja fell and Christina was breathing heavily after that one. The sword in her hand as well as the ninjas just vanished as the danger room returned back to normal. Looking up at Jack, she smirked.
Christina: That was more like it.

(Jack smiled at Christina. This was the perfect solution to help Christina cope with her stress. He pressed the button for the intercom again and spoke into the microphone.)
Mindcontrol: You're doing in excellent job. I assume you want me to take it up a notch?

Christina: Yeah, just a bit.
She began to warm-up her limbs again to prepare for the next upcoming fight. Jack was right; this was just what she needed. She was deciding whether or not to limit using her powers this next go-around. She just really felt like punching something in the face.

(An idea for Christina's next fight popped into his head. He began setting up the program that would create the next enemy. Jack pressed the button that would create the simulation. The buzzer went off, signaling the start of the next fight. Inside the arena, the outlines of two tall figures about fifteen feet appeared. A moment later they materialized into sentinels. The machines were slower than the previous two fights, but they were heavier. Plus taking into account the stronger armor. This made it harder on Christina by limiting the effectiveness of her telekinesis. She would have to use it in a creative way to take down the two sentinels. Also, that doesn't take into account the robots' lasers on their hands and the mutant detecting systems on the eyes that would fire rockets once it locks onto a mutant's DNA. Jack garbed the microphone and spoken into it.)
Mindcontrol: Alright, here's the challenge you wanted.
(Jack knew Christina could take the two sentinels down. Though he was eying the red shutdown button from the corner of his eye, just in case anything went wrong.)

Christina looked up at the two giants before her and began thinking maybe she should use her powers for this battle.
Christina: What the hell are these things?
As soon as she said that, both giants looked down straight at her. They both stuck out one of their hands.
Sentinels: Mutant DNA located. Target mutant. Eliminate.
Christina: Aw s#!%...
Christina quickly dove out of the way as both Sentinels fired rockets out of their hands to where she was previously standing. But the machines just simply turned around and targeted her new location. Christina quickly jumped to her feet and ran. Christina knew there was no way she could take them down physically. She stopped running to try using her telekinesis. One of the giant robots staggered but didn't fall, while the other robot fired another rocket at Christina. She was thrown across the room and slammed into the wall hard. As she slid to the floor, she groaned loudly as her back ached from the impact, definite bruising. Both robots walked closer to her.
Christina: Damn.

(Jack watched the scene below him with intensifying eyes. He moved his hand toward the emergency shut off switch and removed the cap that covered it. That way he can shot everything instantly. He looked back at Christina. Jack began muttering to himself, as if Christina could hear him.)
Mindcontorl: Come on! There's a way you can beat them, you just have to use your head!

Sentinels: Eliminate all mutant beings.
Both sentinels had her cornered and targeted with their rockets. Christina struggled to move out of the way, but only ended up crawling right beside one of the robots' massive boot. The sentinel across from her relocated its target to her position and fired. Again, Christina was thrown, but she also noticed something. The rocket also knocked the other sentinel down. It was still functioning and began to stand up again. Christina caught a second wind as well as a new plan.
Christina: It doesn't matter where I am, it will still fire at me.
That being thought aloud, Christina took off running towards the fallen robot. The robot was still bended on one knee and just before it came to rise, Christina jumped ontop of its leg and began to climb up along the back of the sentinel. But it wasn't the easiest climb. As soon as the sentinel was standing, it began moving and looking around for where Christina was. With a few risky jumps and the use of her gymnastic skills, Christina finally made it to the shoulder of the sentinel. She hid behind the sentinels head until she spotted the other one right across. The other sentinel immediately looked up and spotted her peering around the sentinel's head.
Sentinel: Target mutant located.
The sentinel raised its arm to fire, and Christina had to wait to time it perfectly. As soon as she saw the fire from its hand, she threw herself off of the sentinel and began freefalling. The rocket hit the other sentinel dead-on; its head completely blown off as its body fell backwards and crashed into the floor. Christina saw the ground coming up fast and instantly she was thinking maybe it wasn't such a great idea. She threw her hands up and closed her eyes, waiting for the impact... But it never came. She opened her eyes and saw herself floating a couple of inches off the ground. Her body incased in a purple aura. Then, the aura faded and she fell the last inches to the ground. Not as much damage as it would have been from 15 feet. She stood up and faced the other sentinel remaining, just one left.

(Jack laughed in excitement when Christina finally figured out how to take the sentinel down. He threw a fist into the air with much enthusiasm. Even though she had one more sentinel to destroy, the second one was going to be more difficult without the "help" from the first. He continued watching to see what her plan would be next.)
