				Located a half mile below the Fitness Building, and accessed only by an express elevator requiring level 6 clearance, or other authorization, is the Training Room.&nbsp; <br><br>Crafted of the strongest metals known by man and designed by Tony Stark, the Training Room is built to challenge all of The Avengers, from Black Widow and Hawkeye to Thor and The Hulk, with a total of ten difficulty settings.&nbsp; The level 1 setting is difficult enough to make Captain America sweat, while level 10 was designed to defeat The Hulk.&nbsp; It requires two administrative overrides to proceed above a level 5 difficulty, at which time all safety settings are removed.<br><br>The Training Room is controlled by Stark’s state-of-the-art AI, Jarvis, and is designed to present over a thousand different combat scenarios in order to prepare the team for real-world circumstances.&nbsp; For instance, the floors and walls are capable of shifting and moving to represent urban and jungle environments.&nbsp; Robots, lasers, fire, mechanical saws, and bullets, varying from paint and rubber to real, are only some of the hazards one should expect while participating in a simulation.<br><br>A viewing area which grants a one-hundred degree view is stationed at the center of the room and is the most secure and fortified room in the entire A.C.E. campus.&nbsp; Moderators, and students, can watch the action from this room, control the difficulty level of the current simulation, suggest to Jarvis added hurdles, and manually override the system, should the need arise.&nbsp; For simulations without a moderator, Jarvis has been instructed to react to the words “Data Switch” which will decrease the difficult of any in-progress simulation.<br><br>IC tag:<br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=8]http://placehold.jpg[/img][/floatleft]<br>[b]Name:[/b] <br>[b]Alias:[/b] <br>[b]Dorm Assignment:[/b] <br>[b]Location:[/b] <br>[b]Date/Time:[/b] <br>[b]Tagging:[/b] <br>[hr] <br></code></pre>

				<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">GM Post</span></div><br>By the time 1400 rolled around on September 3rd, the first day of classes, ever, at the A.C.E. academy, the students had already been through four hours of lecture, two meals, and over an hour of physical exercise.&nbsp; Their minds were likely fatigued, and their bodies had been tested, doubly for those who woke early in order to participate in Elective Training.&nbsp; Team Building was scheduled for a good two hour chunk everyday and this promised to be the first of many.<br><br>After their Physical Education class ended, the students were escorted to the Fitness Center, told to remove any loose and valuable items, and then brought into the express elevator to the Training Room.&nbsp; None of the students had been here before; not even those who had been at the academy for weeks.<br><br>The elevator opened to a sterile hall, lined on all sides by what appeared to be polished steel, which led to two large double doors, so large that even the largest students could pass without stooping.&nbsp; The doors opened into a gigantic room, possibly larger than four American football fields.<br><br>As they entered, they were greeted by a voice that seemed to come from all directions at once.&nbsp; <span style="font-family: comic sans;" class="bbc_font"><strong><em>”Good afternoon and welcome to the Training Room.&nbsp; My name is Jarvis.&nbsp; I will be monitoring your progress and ensuring your safety, as will your human moderators watching from the viewing station.&nbsp; I wish you luck, ladies and gentlemen.”</em></strong></span><br><br>As Jarvis cut out another took his place.&nbsp; The speech filled the air and was much more human-sounding and likely recognizable to them, considering they had just heard it earlier that very day.&nbsp; <strong>“Good afternoon students.”</strong>&nbsp; Erik Lehnsherr wasn't someone easily forgotten.&nbsp; <strong>”Mr. Kalani, Professor Xavier, and I will be running this afternoon’s simulation.&nbsp; I should inform you that Captain America and Tony Stark are here as well.&nbsp; Apparently, you all intrigued them enough to stop by.&nbsp; Your first task at hand is to choose two leaders then you will then be divided into two teams.&nbsp; While you will be on different teams, in the end, do keep in mind that you will be working toward the same goal.&nbsp; It is my suggestion that you divide as evenly as possible.”</strong>&nbsp; The voice stopped for a moment as if contemplating before crackling back to life.&nbsp; <strong>”You have one minute.”</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Special notes</div><div class="spoiler_body">This is a moderated scene; as such please refrain from writing the results of your characters’ actions.&nbsp; This is like chess.&nbsp; You make a move, but you don’t play both sides.<br>Also, please be aware and observe the posting order once it is established.&nbsp; Posting order will occur in the order people post in the first round.<br>If anyone is not interested in writing in this scene, please let us know.</div></div>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/People/Males/booboostuart1_zpsdbd0c3cc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Ri'Staraa Sayed (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=200335.msg9791005#msg9791005)<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Eurus<br><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong> 2nd floor, #2<br><strong>Location:</strong> Training "Room"<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> 9/3, 2pm<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Everyone<br><hr> <br><br>Ri had followed along diligently, not really knowing what to expect. This indoor environment was enormous - how could he have missed it somehow from looking at the facility from the outside? Of course, they're far underground. This meant that the area was likely going to be one where weapon testing was going to go down. He smirked a bit and looked around while he listened to the two announcements. Alright, so they were going to be tested. No biggie.... maybe.<br><br>But then came the words "You have one minute" - and they had come shortly after the instructions to choose leaders and divide up. Clearly they weren't going to make this easy on the students. It would be chaos. There would be no strategy after those sixty seconds were up and they unleashed whatever crazy they were going to release on them. This was <em>exactly</em> the kind of situation that the boy liked to avoid. He tensed and rolled his eyes, his nose scrunched up in disgust. Looking around, he should have known that the bulk of the students were standing there, dumbfounded. It was time to make a move and get shit started - the sooner the better.<br><br>The Arab boy stepped out in front of the group of classmates and put his foot down, clapping loudly at the same time to get their attention. He brought an arm up to point his thumb at his chest. "All right, who's with <em>me?</em>" He wasn't making a ploy at being a leader - the last thing he wanted was having to be in charge of a group of confused, startled teens. He'd work better off on the sidelines. "Look, I don't care who's in charge, I just want to get this moving. So if you want a fair stealth fighter who can use a sword..." &nbsp;His palms rested on the hilts of the Eastern weapons strapped to his waist, "I can be a <em>whirlwind</em> to your advantage..." He wasn't quite letting his wind abilities be obvious, but he was alluding to it. If anyone was quick enough to pick up on the hint, then they were exactly the kind of people he wanted by his side. His eyes shot over to where Jean was in the crowd and he searched her face to see how she was handling the situation.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Hugh-Dancy-hot-british-actors-655455_992_1235.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Arthur Taylor<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Excalibur <br><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong> Floor 1/Dorm 2 <br><strong>Location:</strong> Training Room<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> September 3rd/ 2 P.M. <br><strong>Wearing:</strong> White Tee Shirt, Black Jogging pants, White converse shoes.<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open/ <br><hr> <br><br>Arthur stepped into the massive room with the rest of the students and looked around the area. He whistled a long breath and looked around for a moment. "Sure is big isn-" The voice of Jarvis came on before he could even finish his sentence. Then Erik's voice....It seemed like everyone was there to watch this group of possible Defenders first day of class. There would be a lot of pressure on the group of students. Arthur couldn't help but crack a nervous smile at the thought of all the pressure. <br><br>Ri had just stepped out in the front of the group and asked who was with him. Arthur thought it wasn't fair that the group only had one choice...He stepped off to the side of Ri and raised his hands up with his palms facing the roof. "Option number two." He said and nodded his own head over as if inviting everyone over to him. <br><br>The first thing Arthur thought about while standing there was: <em>"Why have us split into two teams? We could all work together for a common goal. Maybe we still are and we are attacking something from two fronts?"</em> He narrowed his eyes in confusion then looked around at the walls, trying to find the area that Erik, Xavier and the others were watching from. He wondered if Jean could hear his thoughts and if she knew something he didn't.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/96/KittyPryde2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Katherine "Kitty" Anne Pryde<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Shadowcat<br><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong> Floor 3 | Room 2<br><strong>Location:</strong> Training Room<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> SHIELD-Issued T-Shirt and Jogging Shorts | White Sneakers<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> September 3rd | 14:00<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Arthur, Ri'Staraa | Open<br><hr> <br><br><em>One minute.</em><br><br>There was a lot of absurdity that Kitty was able to stomach. Throwing them all into what had to be a combat simulation without any kind of formal training (at least in her case) before hand was strange but maybe this was just a test run to see what they were capable of. Hell, even the fact that something like this even existed in the first place wasn't enough to perturb her since, after New York, almost anything was possible.<br><br>But one minute?! Come on. Unless Mr. Lehnsherr expected them all to fail right off the bat, she couldn't see the reasoning behind such a stringent time limit. They all barely knew one another – how did he expect them all to know who to pick as leaders let alone dividing each other properly? Times like these she couldn't help but feel that knot in her stomach only tighten from what was about to come.<br><br>Protesting would have been pointless though, as much as she really wanted to do so. If Mr. Kalani's no-bullshit routine earlier during the physical education class he had put them through was any indication – her arms still felt like Jell-O from those pull-ups – complaining about how things were unfair would either only going to fall on deaf ears or be rewarded with time spent doing chores that sounded actually worse than failing. Brown eyes gazed at each of the other students, silently pleading and hoping that at least <em>one</em> might actually speak up since the clock was apparently ticking down. They all couldn't just stand there doing nothing. Well, technically, they could but who knew what the consequences of that would be?<br><br>She wasn't the only one with that train of thought as <strong>Ri'Staraa</strong> clapped to get their attention, the noise echoing off the walls of the large room they all had been ushered into. While Kitty hadn't gotten to interact much with the teen during the meet-up at the auditorium, she did recognize who he was pretty quickly. Blue hair was something that was hard to forget. His little speech about wanting to get things moving was met with a nod from her. He was right. They had to start doing something. Anything. It was better than staying still.<br><br><strong>Arthur</strong> also had the same idea, nominating himself as well. Ri hadn't made any suggestions that he be made a leader – in fact, he said the opposite – but it seemed like, just like that, there were two choices. Although the fact that stealthy swordsmanship did sound like quite a skill-set, Kitty found herself making her way towards the British student to stand besides him, giving the Arab boy a small silent look of apology.<br><br>God, if they wanted to start pitting the students against one another by having them make hard decisions, SHIELD was definitely succeeding. She just hoped that there weren't any hard feelings since there was no way their choices could mean anything right now. Arthur had a magical suit of armor that he could summon at will and the guy had been rather nice earlier, that's all. Taking a deep breath, she gave her new leader a shrug and a small smile of reassurance before turning out towards the rest, seeing where people would end up.

But today had almost exhausted her to the point where she was ready to go home.&nbsp; Having spent most of the night tossing and turning, and waking up at what felt like the crack of dawn, Janie had been ready for bed about twenty minutes ago.&nbsp; But instead of being allowed time to relax and recover, they were being shown into the underground of the school. Her eyes almost popped out of her head. You could pretty much put the whole of downtown Cottonwood Falls in this one room and still have room for more! <br><br>She moved silently along with her fellow students. She was still feeling a bit shy, which was so unlike her. But Janie had promised herself two weeks, and if after two weeks she still wanted to go home, well then she would contact her mom and dad and beg if she had to!&nbsp; Janie growled inwardly, she hadn’t even finished the first day and she was exhausted, there was a distinct possibility that she wouldn’t make it to her second week, let alone her second day! <br><br>The voice overhead sounded serious in his explanation, sending a little shiver down her spine. She couldn’t help but feel a little excited knowing that Tony Stark and Captain America were there watching them… unconsciously she smoothed her hair, tightening the high ponytail she had secured her long auburn locks in.&nbsp; <br><br>The one minute mark caused Janie-Lynn to react first and think later. She moved swiftly towards the group that was closest to her, since the voice specifically stated that the two groups were working for the same goal. Besides, this was meant as a training exercise, not a battle to the death!&nbsp; She smiled at Arthur and Kitty, the expression friendly but somewhat nervous.&nbsp; She didn’t really know anyone, but then she figured that most of the kids would be in the same boat. <strong>”I’m with you guys”</strong> greeted the redhead&nbsp; with a friendly smile. <br></div>

For the first time in weeks he felt something, it felt like a cold lash across his back as something pooled in his gut. <br><br>Jimmy's heart rate and breathing spiked, more so than when he was running his lap or consecutively hammering pull ups and crunches.

Jimmy was feeling like an animal backed into a corner and there was not telling what would happen. What had Professor Xavier missed inside of his head. Jimmy's hands tensed into fists, his wrists flexed back and forth as he looked up at those looking in at him. <br><br><div align="center"><em>(I want to be in the scene, but I thought this would be a great time for Jimmy to freak out.

She wasn't an incredibly athletic person, not like some of the ones she saw (aka ogled), but she held her own. And man did it get her adrenaline running and this was all so new and big and exciting! When they were ushered into the large empty room, her jaw dropped. <br><br>"Whoa... This is amazing... What do we..." But the rest of her sentence was cut off as they were all addressed and the first assignment explained. The blonde glanced around at the various faces, kids she'd not really gotten to know all that much if at all since she got there, and she had no idea who would be the best candidates for an awesome team. So...<br><br>She was about to go join the cute dark curls guy Arthur when Jimmy started sounding less than pleased. Em glanced at Janie-Lynn and then bit her lip for a moment, wondering if to butt in. It might not be the best idea considering how pissed off the guy looked and she didn't know him at all, but... He was cute and there was this gut feeling that he wasn't just pissed off. <br><br>But time was ticking and she hurried over to Janie-Lynn, Arthur and Kitty. "All yours," she announced cheerfully to them and then called out "Jimmy, you're with us, right?" Hey she had to at least try, right? The minute was bound to be up any second now.

They were supposed to go through months of this?&nbsp; Ugh.&nbsp; At least life would never be boring right?<br><br>She listened to the explanation and watched as people started to divide up into their teams and moved over to where Jean and Ri stood.&nbsp; "When in doubt always pick the team with the telepath.&nbsp; That's my new motto at least.&nbsp; For balance sake we might want to pick up some brawn." &nbsp;She still wasn't sure if she and Victor were on speaking terms or not and so she looked over the remaining students. Flashing back to their previous evaluation and the absolutely ridiculous upper body strength he'd exhibited she offered her new teammates a small almost conspiratorial smile. "Maybe if Jimmy is up for it we ..." only then did she actually look over at him as he emerged reluctantly from the elevator and her eyes widened slightly.&nbsp; "Guys, we might want to ... back off a bit." Now that she was paying attention there was that weird kind of tingle, that basic fight or flight almost panic that animals first felt when she ran into them in the wild, it made the hair on the back of her arms stand up.&nbsp; If this was part of the training exercise she wasn't amused.&nbsp;

Considering that failure was likely the only outcome of this trial, and their collective inexperience,&nbsp; she went unapologetically with the team that seemed more directly powerful. Plus she had deemed, upon briefly meeting Arthur before,&nbsp; that he had the potential for being a great warrior and such potential was evident from the distinction of being worthy of wielding Excalibur and being clad in such formidable armor. Plus he had shown respect and courtesy towards her.&nbsp; She had no experience of such with Ri and thus he was dismissed readily by her.<br><br>"I will stand beside you Arthur," she then stated succinctly to the Briton, before doing just that. Glad that more were rallying to his squad,&nbsp; she declined speaking more,&nbsp; knowing anything she would say now would be empty and obvious platitudes and advice. If they were worthy,&nbsp; motivation would come on its own,&nbsp; and it was apparent that regardless of the nature of this training, they would have a better chance sticking together since this was a team building exercise. Furthermore she hoped it was readily apparent to her comrades that they were likely to lose,&nbsp; as one often learned more from defeat then victory. <br><br>She looked upon Jimmy with more worry then concern or sympathy however. She found his reaction dismaying and hoped tge moderators would deal with his issues,&nbsp; because unless it directly affected her,&nbsp; she would not.&nbsp; If this was meant to stimulate battle,&nbsp; she would act accordingly and not be distracted by those who obviously did not belong.

There were a variety of them, and all with wildly different powers and abilities. They needed to learn their own capabilities as much as they needed to learn everyone's in order to work together, so this would make things more manageable. Already, people seemed to be splitting off in to groups, and while he wasn't the first to step up, he settled down next to Ri, Jean and Dani, whom he hadn't really spoken to yet. It was mostly in the interest of keeping the teams even, but, spending more time around Jean was a plus as well. Despite the fact that Erik had stated they would be working towards the same goal, Scott still found himself sizing up the other team as competition, trying to puzzle out where their strengths and weaknesses might lie compared to his own team. Ri had spoken up first, but didn't seem to have much interest in leading, so Scott was prepared to volunteer, should it be necessary. He had swapped his glasses for the more useful visor before entering the room, and was fiddling with the controls, making adjustments when he heard Jimmy, who seemed to be in some distress.<br><br>"<strong>That's... Probably a good idea.</strong>" Scott mused in response to Dani. Still, he stepped towards Jimmy, keeping a bit of distance between him. "<strong>Jimmy? Nobody is stuck here.</strong>" He pointed out, gesturing to the wide open area. It was a massive room, and all of the other students were there. "<strong>It's just more training. Want to come join the group? We could use your help.</strong>"<br><br>He wasn't really sure what was eating at Jimmy, besides the concern about the facility and staff in general he had voiced before. Whatever it was, Scott certainly wasn't qualified to deal with it. Still, he did want to keep things from going sour, so he did his best to keep his fellow student task oriented and at least reminded that he wasn't trapped alone in some cell. Hopefully things wouldn't start before they could get Jimmy sorted out, or they would have to begin with one man less. One of the teams would, anyway.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_megqfcheNg1qau5mb.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Zoe Hennesy<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Zo<br><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong> Floor 1.Room 6<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> White tank top, black shorts, running shoes, hair in a messy bun.<br><strong>Location:</strong> Training Room.<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> September 3rd.1400<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> All.<br><hr> <br><br><div align="center">Zoe was surprised at the amount of effort this whole day had taken. In fact, she wasn't sure that she could wrap her head around the fact that many kids across the world went through school like this every day for so many days a year. She wasn't sure if every school was like this, or this was just special, but either way she had a little pity for regular school going students. Not that her own schooling was much lighter, she still had early wake up calls and days full of learning... this, just seemed different, though. Either way, she was happy that the day was almost over. After that gym class, she really thought she would be able to just go and relax, she had no idea what they meant by 'team building'. But, seeing as how they didn't have the chance to change back into their every day clothes, she was a little nervous about what was to come. As she followed the leaders, mostly behind all the students, she kept her eyes and ears open. Her suspicions hadn't decreased since the beginning of the day and she wasn't about to let her guard down now, especially as her nerves started kicking in. <br><br>As they entered into an elevator, she leaned against the back wall, stretching her hands out from fists and then balling them up over and over again... a nervous little tick she had developed over the years and wasn't about to quit. She was too much in her own world to notice anybody else's anxieties, but by the quick glances over the students she had down, they were all pretty much in the same boat. Although, a few stood out to her as more calm than herself or more anxious than herself, she calculated that they were all feeling the same pretty much. Letting her eyes look around the giant room, she stopped just as she entered the doors, looking back at them a little nervously as some of the students started to speak. Not surprisingly, they were met with a quick hello from a... robot? And then the impending directions she had sensed that they would be told. Listening carefully, she rolled her eyes as the man spoke on. <em>'Really... this is 'team building'... fucked up. It's the first day, dumb asses.'</em> She thought a little harshly as she looked up and around for the people who were supposedly here to watch them. <br><br>The whole idea of being watched didn't sit well with them, being watched she felt more like a fish in a bowl or a tiger in the zoo. It wasn't right, but there was really nothing she could do about it. 'One minute', Zoe shuddered a little bit. <em>'Yes... make a bunch of teenagers, who don't know each other that well, split into groups. Already trying to divide us, I see.'</em> She thought as she watched the students start to break into groups. Listening carefully to what everyone was saying to each other, and as they all started to rationalize their decisions, she didn't think it was anything more than who they liked better or something of that nature. To her, she had no idea who she was supposed to go with. But, her eyes snapped to Danielle, listening to her words. Her pale eyes quickly moving to Jean, and then back to Danielle. Zoe didn't know of anybody's powers yet, and knowing of a telepath made her a little nervous as she felt that her mind would be picked. So, she tried to avoid eye contact, as if that would help or something. Considering she wasn't very trustworthy or knowing of Jean and her powers, and Danielle had just rubbed her the wrong way ever since their dorm meeting, Zoe started to take a step towards the other team.<br><br>As her first step landed, her attention was drawn to Jimmy who was one, if not the only, person who was doing worse than she was with this whole situation. Looking over to him, a surprisingly soft look came over her features as she listened to his words. As other words came from around the group to try and seem to help him, she shook her head a little but stayed quiet. It seemed that none of them could really do anything to help him, but that was just because she didn't know what to do. Instinctively, after growing up with younger siblings, she took a step towards him, moving out a hand to soothe him gently. But, she stopped, bringing her hand back to her side as she knew it wasn't her place, and he didn't seem to want anything to do with any of them. She stayed where she was, though. A little closer to the group without Jean and Danielle, towards the man names Arthur, but not moving. It wasn't like she had any other idea to help Jimmy, but she wasn't going to distance herself in case she could help. All she could do now, was look over at the ones gathered in Arthur's group and offer a small smile. Looking back a the man in distress with caring eyes, her arms by her side. Not knowing exactly what to do, all she knew was time was dwindling down.</div>
