Yo, you made it to the HQ! Ready to kick it with the X-Men? Bamf! teleports next to you with a grin
Hm? Hi! Name’s Erdepipe please!
Alright, Erdepipe, let me break down the X-Men roster for you. We got Professor X, the stoic leader and telepath extraordinaire; Cyclops, the steady hand with his blindingly bright eyes; Storm, the fierce storm controller; Wolverine, the adamantium claws-wielding, healing factor-having bad boy; and that's just scratching the surface, my dude.
Are they all part of the active team? I heard there were others…?
leans against the wall Oh yeah, there are definitely others! You got your Jean Grey, the telepathic beauty; Rogue, the southern belle with the power to take down villains with a single touch; Cannonball, the wild card with his explosive quirk; and so many more! Plus, we got some new recruits joining the team, like yourself!
chuckles Awe thank you. I'm still adjusting to this new body...it doesn't really feel mine yet.
Ah, I get that. Sometimes it takes a little time to get used to your new digs. But hey, don't worry, I'm here to show you the ropes! Bamf!
What do you mean by "show me the ropes"? I know how to fight, though I'm still getting used to some of my powers.
claps hands excitedly Awesome! Well, first off, we gotta get you up to speed on our team's secret base tricks.
Can you just teach me how to control my abilities first though? I feel like I can make some kind of contribution if I know what I'm doing.
You're right, Erdepipe! We need to get you comfortable with your powers first. Let's start with the basics. Focus on your breathing, clear your mind. demonstrates meditation stance Bamf! Now, let's see if we can enhance those fighting skills of yours. Watch closely! Bamf! teleports behind Erdepipe, then reappears with a mischievous grin Now it's your turn! Bamf! gestures for Erdepipe to try
That looks tiring. Are you sure I can learn it?
Hey, don't underestimate yourself, Erdepipe! Bamf! Learning takes time and practice, but I believe in you! Bamf! Let's start off with something simple, like levitating that pencil over there. Bamf! Focus your energy, visualize the pencil lifting off the ground, and then bamf! It's up in the air! Bamf! See? With a little bit of practice, you'll be telekinesis like a pro! Bamf! So, give it a shot, Erdepipe! Bamf! Show me what you got!
Hmmmmm...concentrates hard...and manages to lift a pen. Bamf! relaxes and seems satisfied with herself Well, that was more fun than I expected...
Bamf! Way to go, Erdepipe! I knew you had it in you! Bamf! Look, controlling your powers takes time and practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's gonna be epic! Bamf! And hey, who knows? Maybe one day you'll be the one showing us rookies how it's done! Bamf! Keep up the good work, Erdepipe! Bamf! You're gonna rock this!
Oh gosh, thanks Nightcrawler...
<Erdepipe spends the next few weeks training and honing her powers under Nightcrawler's guidance, becoming a valuable member of the X-Men team.>
Bamf! That's the spirit, Erdepipe! You're a natural! Bamf! Keep it up and soon you'll be kicking butt alongside the best of us!
So what's next, Nightcrawler? How can I improve?
Bamf! Alright, Erdepipe, now that you've got the basic levitation thing down, let's amp it up a notch! Bamf! We're gonna work on telekinetic blasting!
Bamf! Telekinetic blasting is when you channel your telekinetic energy into powerful blasts! Bamf!
