Liz shook her head, "Ze ground ist not normal und if she passed through any of metal plants, she it's not going to be fine in a minute. Some of ze plants are made of metal und stone. Und some of the plants have off-vorld poisons. I don't care if she can control plants, she needs to know how off-vorld plants work."
Suddenly, a plant reared up from the depths of the forest and charged right at Amy. It let out a roar and Liz smirked. This was a plant that grew on a planet in the Andromeda and it was part animal. Finger-like vines shot out of it and grabbed at the plant controller.

Amy glared at it and stamped her foot, "Sit!" she commaned in cherokee and shrank it to the size of a kitten. Picking it up, Amy studied it. the tentackles were tipped with a poison similar to avriletta's, it barked strangly and snuggled in her hands, "Liz?... is it supposed to be adorible?" it nipped at her and she regressed it to the size of a tadpole and squished it, "Spiteful little thing."

"You have no idea" Three more burst out. They now knew what she was capable of and were pissed that she hurt one of their own. Before the girl could react, one slashed out at her, cutting into her skin. The other two started to pick up rocks, throwing the Amy.

The one slashed her cheek and she shivered angrily, "You are a plant. . . And i controle ALL things plant." she pushed her hands forward agressively and the plant things turned inside out; the purple guts spilled from the sides of the repulsive things. others came that met the same fate with less effort. Amy looked pissed.

(Jack watches as the plant/animal things are killed like nothing. Jack turns to Liz.)
Mindcontrol: I think its time to crank it up a little.

"NO! Lizz Stop!" Avriletta was extremely upset, "If she keeps this up she won't come back! She's a plant herself. the closer she gets to them the father she gets from us," Avriletta looked at Emily, "Get me a status, and her mind back! the longer she stays like that the harder it will be to get her back!"

Liz nodded her head, "Her need to control vill be a problem. She need to learn zat not all zings can be controlled so easily in our universe." She typed in something on the console and the room seemed to expand thanks to the Danger room's hard light abilities. An arid platform of a planet stretched out. It was a simple scenario, but the way that the ground was constructed made it nearly impossible to grow anything.
Once again, Amy was off-world, though Liz herself would never have been able to tell which planet. She hit the intercom button, "I vould not try going zrough ze ground here. Ze soil ist poisoned. But beware, zere are plants on zis plant even vorse zan ze tigers you just faced." Her blood-red eyes narrowed as she ignored Ave.

"I don't go through the ground. i go though the plants," Amy said it as if it were common sense and every day knowledge.
"Ave., she's halfway gone," Emily looked concerned, "Lizabeth, it's not a controle thing. just because she looks partly domestic and partly in controle doesn't mean she's anything like that. She's a... well," Emily looked at Tiffany, who finnished for her.
"An unstable being subject to change in a moments notice. she's never really trusted anyone but Avriletta. we don't know why. she just chose Ave. She doesn't want to leave... but when she uses her powers too much, he humanity slips and she becomes more than just our little Aim.'s. . . she's not even Amy anymore."
Avriletta turned away, trying to think of how she would fare when Amy was gone. plants don't always live long.

Liz reached down and hit the abort button causing the danger room to revert to it's plain metal. She turned towards Ave, "I'm sorry. She can never be on zis team. If she cannot trust me, zan I cannot trust her. She sleeps in your room und she's out gardener now." She hit the intercom button, "Get up here und cool down." She let it off and rounded on the rest, "Avriletta. I vant you down zere now." Her tone was final her eyes blazed.

Liz's tone really pissed Avriletta off. Noone ever spoke to her like that.
"Ave.?"Emily looked at Ave. softly, "I can't feel Amy."
Avriletta shuddered, "there really isn't anything you can do?" Avriletta had only ever let a few select people see her cry, but now it didn't matter. if Emily couldn't even feel her she was lost, Ave. held Jacks hand as tears streamed down her face, "what now?" she whispered.
Stiff. walked over and started to cry too, her mono toned face looked at Liz, "I'm sorry for your loss. she would have learned to trust you as she did us. her loyalty to Avriletta was terrifyingly strong. . . if Ave. had told her to trust you, she would have in a hearts beat." Stiffania's voice was low, strong, and steady. the twins didn't know what to do, their leader was wrecked.

Liz just blinked, "She vould have lost es in battle. Zis ist not a safe for mutants. Es ist a place to train and push so ve are ready for ze next attack. If she cracked under a simple exercise, zan She never vould have made es. I am sorry." She turned to the rest of her team, "Vone of you go get her and put her some place safe. I vill be in my office, come und get me when you are done." With that she teleported from the room down to her office.

"no, she wouldn't have." Avriletta cried softly and left the room, "Stiffania, go plant her in the cemetary." Every one looked down into the danger room. A beautiful tree stood where Amy had been, its limbs looked lightly brown, the leaves where blue with purple veins.
"Yes ma'am." came the reply and Avriletta fled quickly.

(Jack watches Avriletta leave the room. She turns around to look at the others.)
Mindcontrol: I know I should talk to her, but something tells me she just needs to be alone.
(Jack receives sad looks from everyone, he turns to the door and runs out after Avriletta.)

"Emily, go outside and find the cemetery and summon us," Stiffania went into the room, "My little Amy. . . . I guess she always knew... that you would find a way to return to your mother earth... " stiffania embraced the tree and received a mental picture.
the picture showed the five of them working in the club and continued on in a memory slide-show of the dojo, Stiffania's face in a pleasant smile, Emily crying over the burnt chicken and Avriletta eating it anyways, Tiffany learning to throw knives with Ave., Stiffania teaching Every one how to play with a good pokerface... the images went on for what seemed like a eternity, then when Stiffania thought she couldn't take the previous joy any longer the images stopped on one.
It was of all five of them, then it vanished and though still a mental vision Amy appeared, "Stiffania." the voice came though the entire house, "Do not despair. I am not lost to the world, but i am stuck. . . it's a sort of limbo... I feel I've been here before and returned. When the time comes, I will reveal shelter from even the darkest of days. . . Tell Elizabeth that Wolf says hello."

The events that had just taken place in that one training session made Christina speechless. She couldn't believe Liz just pushed Amy too far. She just stood in shock until she felt someone leading her out of the room. Kitty thought the girls would want some privacy. As soon as they had exited the danger room and started walking towards the elevator, Christina pulled herself from Kitty's grip.
Christina: I can't believe Liz just did that.
Kitty: Christina, it was an accident. Amy just lost control because she overworked herself.
Christina: Yeah, because of the training session Liz set up. You heard Avriletta telling her to stop. Liz didn't listen. She pushed Amy to overwork her powers. And just think, that could have been anyone of us. Liz has definitely changed.
Kitty: We all have, ever since we got back from Egypt. We all suffered a terrible tragedy there. We lost our teammates and dear friends. Liz is just afraid; she doesn't want history to repeat itself. None of us do. Liz just wants to train us to be stronger so that it will never happen again.
Christina: That still doesn't make it right.
Christina entered the elevator in and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. Kitty followed her into the elevator and the two returned to the ground floor in silence.
