((OOC: This occurs after page thirty five of "Pietro and Wanda's Dormitory."))
::True to his word, after Kitty had left, Pietro finished his reading, changed as well, and still beat her to the basement. Such was life at the speed of sound.
He had not entered yet, and had not been here since his last use of the room...which had not been for combat training. He was the definitive angry young man, and he had to work that off in creative ways at times. However, he had more than enough confidence that he could set it for something to help her train, and he could use the exercise as well.::

Kitty raced to her room and changed quickly into a pair of dark gray yoga pants. They were as comfortable as sweat pants, but not as baggy. She pulled her sneakers back on, making sure they were tied tight, and ran down the stairs and to the elevator to the basement.
Exiting the elevator, she saw that Pietro was already waiting, which wasn't surprising. "Sorry I took so long." She joked.

::There was no way she could have done anything but; Pietro was used to it. Quickly, he appraised her, and decided if she could move in sweatpants, that was her choice.:: "It's fine. Are you ready?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, I'm don't really know what I'm getting into." She was nervous, and it probably showed. She braced the palms of her hands against the small of her back.

"You wanted to try recon training, yes?" ::Pietro asked, his method of questioning emphasized the fact that he wasn't a native speaker, despite the years upon years living in America.::

She nodded. "Yes, but I've had limited experience, so I'm kind of scared." She bit her lip, wary of his reaction.

::Pietro was living proof that one could be injured in the Danger Room, and he was not one for false assurances. However, they had two points on their side.:: "I won't let anything happen to you. I will be there with you, and if it gets too intense, we shut it off."

Kitty trusted Pietro, so she nodded again, signaling that she was ready.

::With her nod of assent, Pietro entered the code for the Danger Room to give them entry. The doors slid open and he walked inside, revealing the familiar metallic walls. With it, as always in the basement, he felt that sense of unease, which came from what easy prey they would be should Magneto take action; for the moment, and for her sake, he had to assume they were alone.:: "I had thought an earthquake might be a good start, but we can do anything."

Kitty stepped inside and took a deep breath. "An earthquake?" she repeated uneasily. She was completely clueless. Up to this point, she had used her ability to retrieve things that people had specifically asked her to retrieve. She had no idea what other possibilities there were.

"Yes, it's a natural ticking time bomb," ::Pietro explained, hearing the unease in her voice. He turned to face her, crossed his arms over his chest as was his habit.:: "We would need to rescue a few people and some equipment before everything collapsed. And it's better than fire. But as I said, we can do anything."

Kitty smiled and nodded, "I like it, let's do it."

"I'll program the room," ::Pietro said, as she was excited about it. The doors had long since shut, leaving them alone, hopefully to remain, and he crossed to the area where the controls lay, to begin coding as he would for a session alone.::

As Pietro walked towards the controls, Kitty bit her lip and cracked her knuckles. She braced herself, waiting for the room to transform.

::It took no time at all to program; Pietro had used the Danger Room enough in the past to be well-acquainted with programming, and he interfaced well with machines. They worked on a similar mental speed. When finished, the walls around them began to fade, changing into an apartment building. The ground beneath them trembled as he returned to her side.::
