-We find Reimu having just completed a work out in the gym, towling himself off and looking quite chiseled and sweaty. Which is really weird because usually this guy is sleeping all day and inhaling the snack cabinet in the lounge. But hey, it's that time again, after all...-

I always get this itch when things feel like they're about to get hectic. Like I can just detect incidents. It's a good instinct for someone in my line of work to have.

I'm guessing this incident with these "U-Men" is going to become our problem pretty soon. So I'm making it official. Team Hakurei is recruiting.

You'll have access to myself, Marisa Kirisame, and Flandre Scarlet for training purposes, as we're the original team. Or at least what's left. So there's that. But for the most part I want to know who's willing to get out there and actually learn the trade of the X-Men.

Serious inquiries only.

Yes, a great big slow green target with tiny arms. -Cold, Reimu.-

It sounds good on paper, but you'll need to prove you can keep up with the three of us, regardless.

[Oh come on! Beast Boy chokes back an impulsive challenge to a man vs tyrannosaurus race. It's killing him to go from one jerkwad team leader to another, but he badly wants a spot on an experienced team.]

What can you guys do?

Kirisame can manipulate light and heat energy. Flandre can literally destroy any structure by taking out its metaphorical lynchpin. I can use my barriers to protect, strengthen, fly. I can even turn them into projectiles or literally "seal" someone in place.

[That's quite the trio. His eyebrows go up, betraying his surprise. What do they do, torch everything in their path?]

Sounds like you could use someone else who doesn't blow stuff up.

[And he knows just the guy!]

It might help.

I'm not going straight to Danger Room trials, in spite of your experience. Instead, you and I are going to spar.

Just give me a time and place!

In the Danger Room itself. After class. There will be no simulations running other than a neutral arena.

Sooo that's official permission to go downstairs? You'll set up all the security stuff so I can get in?

[That's enough to extinguish the last of his irritation. What student hasn't tried to sneak down to the sublevels at some point? Everyone knows that's where all the juicy stuff is.]

You are easily excited, aren't you?

I'm sorry, sir, but it's The Danger Room we're talking about here! 100% Danger and a mere 10% Room, it' rumored to be the world's foremost training facility! The actual practice room of the X-men? What mutant doesn't dream of one day treading in the footsteps of some of the biggest, baddest heroes that ever existed?
