<hr/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/J8PJSe0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Laura Kinney | Wolverine<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Danger Room<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 1st, 2017, early afternoon<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Piotr Rasputin | Colossus, Salem Summers | Cyclops, Jonothon Starsmore | Chamber, Betsy Braddock | Psylocke, Kitty Pryde | Shadowcat<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Wolverine gets distracted by the rough teamwork on display in the room, then nearly loses her lunch thanks to Chamber. By the time she gets focused, Laura gets lit up by Frenzy, but manages to get up and headbutt her enemy a few dozen times to put her down.<br/><hr/><br/>Laura soaked in the situation around her; Time seemed to slow down as she calmly analyzed her team and her enemies, and she prepared herself for her next attack or maneuver. Her three teammates were various mixtures of amateur and expert. Colossus calmly responded to the situation at hand. He helped dear leader to her feet, and effortlessly put down a few more Brotherhood members before he leapt to the roof to respond to Laura's callout. Cyclops herself seemed rattled by the injury to her shoulder, but after a jumpstart of confidence from Pete, she managed some semblance of bravery and began to call shots. Chamber seemed nervous as he mentally quipped at his opponents before firing off an inaccurate yet brutal shot of his psionic force flames.<br/><br/>She imagined what they must have thought of her. Wolverine was confident in herself, however. She knew that she was the best one in the room. It wasn't their fault that they couldn't measure up to her; She'd been bred for action, trained to fight and kill with ruthless efficiency. Adjusting her style to a team was difficult, but it didn't hold her back too much. She was so puffed up on herself in the heat of the moment that when Colossus shouted at her about Frenzy, giving her some pointers on how to take her out, she made a scowl that was somehow visible beneath her obscuring mask.<strong>"I... Got it!"</strong>Her original retort was meant to be more pointed and catty, but Laura at least liked Colossus. If it had been Slim, she might have really lost her cool.<br/><br/>Facing Frenzy again, she pried for an opening. The evil mutant was forced to her knees, thanks to the ligament slice and dice Wolverine had done on her a minute ago, but she was still dangerous and strong, and taller than Laura despite her injury. Frenzy was well-trained and had reach, and Laura held back, to give her opponent first move. Sometimes it was easier to react than to act. But when her foe went for the pistols strapped to her body, Laura knew she had to put her down before things got bad, very, very bad. She began to charge at her, claws still bared as she bared her teeth like an animal.<strong>"Don't worry, ain't gonna kill her!"</strong>Laura growled, preparing to pounce, only to be forced to backpedal as Frenzy got slammed in the back by a concussive blast that made it look like she was lunging for Wolverine. The navy and yellow clad X-Man hopped backwards and straightened her stance, dropped her guard.<br/><br/><em>I can't do this teamwork stuff... These idiots have me so turned around.</em>She hadn't asked for or needed Cyclops's interference, or Colossus's coaching, or... She hadn't been paying attention to Chamber, but when she glanced over at him, and saw him with his coat open, just a spine dangling around a bunch of purplish flame... That grisly sight, and the smell of human flesh roasting after he barbecued his mark, was enough to turn Laura's stomach.<strong>"Eeeugh... Oh god..."</strong>She had been putting aside the sensation of unreality that she'd felt early on in the danger room sim, but now, Laura couldn't help but break that illusion. She knew she was in no real danger, but suddenly the small inconsistencies in the holograms that only she could see and the uncanny simulated smell of simulated human flesh burning was a bit too much.<br/><br/>Between her queasiness and how annoyed she felt, Laura wasn't thinking straight as she reached up and pulled her cowl back, letting it fall around the back of her neck. She stumbled a few steps backwards and grabbed the nearest wall for support. She was pale and wide-eyed, wrestling down the urge to vomit all over the simulated bank. Only a few seconds had passed since Cyclops took out Frenzy, and the team leader was already making her way out of the room with Chamber, leaving Colossus and Wolverine herself to keep watch. Wolverine could only nod as she began to weakly pull her cowl back into place, finally getting the best of her queasiness.<em>Remind me to yell at faceless boy for making the bad smells later...</em><br/><br/>Cyclops hadn't even left the room before Frenzy suddenly popped back up. She'd only been stunned for a few seconds, and she reminded everyone that she was still very much a part of this fight as she screamed in fury and crashed her fists down into the floor, her insane strength rending the ground with a fissure aimed right at Slim. Laura jammed her cowl back in place in a hurry and popped her claws again, rushing back at Frenzy to put her down before she could do any more damage. But those big pistols were aimed back at her in a heartbeat, and a series of shots rang out as 50 cal bullets rippled through the air towards her. Red erupted around Wolverine's gut as she was struck, her forward momentum countered by the energy behind the bullet, causing her to do a violent pinwheel and crash to the ground.<br/><br/>It might have killed any of the others... Except for Colossus. And possibly except for Chamber. It might have killed Cyclops if she had been targeted, but Laura rolled back to her feet, and moved towards Frenzy again, a mask of rage and pain on her face that meant certain death. Her adamantium claws flashed and the sound of metal shearing pre-empted the clatter of two gun barrels as Wolverine disarmed her opponent.<strong>"RrrraAAAAARGH!"</strong>Her hands were on Frenzy's collar a second later, holding her still as Laura's face slammed forward, delivering a nasty headbutt... And another, and another... The sickening sound of crunching bone was heard again and again as Laura made it her absolute mission to break Frenzy's face with her own face. By the time she was finished, she dizzily backpedaled away, and her teammates could see the extent of her own damage. Her lower abdomen was completely torn apart, shredded organs and the tips of her lower rib cage bare to the open air, blown away by those explosive bullets. A fountain of blood was pouring down Laura's nose and mouth, and it didn't seem ready to stop just yet, not until the cartilage reset itself. She looked like a ghost out of hell, one foot in the grave.<br/><br/>She didn't sound dead as she spat blood at Frenzy and growled at her.<strong>"Stay down, bub."</strong>
