Who:

What: Battle dome date (sort of)!
When: October 7th, late evening.
Where: The battle dome
Summary: It’s Friday night. What better way to spend it than to go through a bunch of combat simulations?
Rating: Probably no more than PG.
[They had discussed doing this shortly after Kurt came back – a little get-together at the battle dome. It works for Melanie since she needs the practice, and it works as another chance to spend more time with her... what, boyfriend? She’s still not entirely sure what word she should use to describe her relationship with him, but whatever it is, she likes it.

Either way, there wasn’t much of a chance to do this earlier. It would have been way too confusing, what with that bizarre fairytale experiment, but that’s all over and done with and now is as good a time as any. So, Melanie’s outside the dome, wearing her suit and waiting to see where Kurt decides to pop up.]

[Excellent. At this rate, they should have Inque taken care of in no time. As it is, the amount of space on the ground she can be on is decreasing, and now she's more focused on staying out of the water than attacking either of them.

Melanie sends another blast straight for Inque - the only difference is that this time instead of reassembling herself, she'll be washed away.]

I guess there's just one left, now.

[Kurt nods in approval at seeing Inque dealt with so handily. Does that means she was actually ink? Water is a pretty lame weakness. Especially for someone who was so dangerous just then.]

We need to use his strength against him. [They need something big and heavy that they can knock on to him. Or trick him into running into. Just the walls themselves wouldn't be neough.]

[Thinking, thinking... and dodging from time to time, too. Getting trampled by Blob isn't exactly something Melanie wants to happen.

They need to use his strength against him, okay, sounds simple except what can they actually use to do that?]

What if we get something big to collapse on top of him, and you just 'port us out of there before we get hit?

Well, it's kind of a cliche at this point, but fortunately the Blob is kind of dumb anyway. You go find something big and heavy, I'll keep him distracted!

[And then he bounds off, jumping on Blob's head, and causing him to flail around as the mutant attempts to pry Kurt off.]

[And Melanie is off to go find something big to topple on top of the Blob. Mostly it's just cells and the like, but that can't be all there is because that's not all she programmed in there. Just a bit further, and...

Ah-ha. Narrow hallway and a big staircase.

If they get the Blob to run into it, it should collapse... and so should the rest of that hallway, considering just how much force he would be packing.]

Kurt! [She found something!]

Coming! [Hopping over Blob's head, he starts bounding towards Melanie. No teleporting just yet. He wants the Blob chasing them until the very last second.]

[And Melanie will run further into that hallway until she's directly under those stairs. It shouldn't be long before Kurt comes bounding in, and then the Blob should be charging through and collapsing the area shortly after. She'll just... rely on Kurt to get them out right before that happens.]

[Once Kurt sees the stairway, he quickly catches on to Melanie's plan. Smart, very smart. He bounds ahead until he's right next to Melanie and takes her hand. Hopefully she trusts him enough, because he's waiting until the last possible second to move. He doesn't want to give Blob any time to slow down.

Once Blob is within but a few inches of them, that's when they teleport, reappearing several meters behind him. At that point, he hits the stairwell and the structure starts to fall apart.]

... okay, I think running is a good idea now.

Running is definitely a good idea. [Melanie's a bit wobbly thanks to the teleporting, but it doesn't last long, which is good because now would be a terrible time to fall down. Either way, she's running away as quickly as she can until she's finally a safe distance away.]

Well... I guess that takes care of him. [Or she hopes so, at least. Because she doesn't have any other ideas at the moment.]

[Safe and clear, Kurt leans against the wall, grinning despite himself.]

I think so. Guess that means we win, yeah?

I guess so. [Melanie grins and absently brushes a stray lock of hair behind her ear.]

That was fun.

[Fun? Well, it certainly had its moments. He dusts off his hands and smirks.]

Yeah, that wasn't so bad. We make a great team.

We do. [She'll just smirk right back.] Maybe we should make this a regular thing. At least then neither of us will get out of practice.

That wouldn't be so bad! Me and Rogue usually try to train once a day in here. Not exactly stuff like this, though. [It's a little more... intensive than this scenario. Rogue can almost be as brutal as Logan.]

Oh? What kind of stuff do you normally do?

Well, you know... lots of obstacle courses, lasers, sometimes buzz saws. Stuff to keep us on our toes. [It's a wonder the X-Men never die.]

[Melanie can handle all sorts of things, but all that stuff at once sounds like a bit much. Then again, she's human, so.

Either way, she's still grinning.]

I think I'll stick with the fake prison breaks for now.

[Hey, hey. Rogue can do it. And she never has powers during her Danger Room simulations.]

In that case, we should get matching guard uniforms, yeah?

[... Okay, the thought of herself stuck in a guard uniform is pretty amusing.]

I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

[Well, seeing as they're all done here, he'll drop a hand on her shoulder.]

So. Do you want a trip home?

Can't say that I'd mind one. [She's ready when you are, Kurt.]

Right then. Here we go!

[And bamf! They're gone!]
