Dodgeball in my EYE.

You'll heal. Be thankful it was only a dodgeball. Remember, if you can learn to dodge a ball, you can learn to dodge a fireball or a plasma blast or whatever they chuck at you. Those hurt more.

(note to self, next time, flaming dodgeball...)

Dude. I have a black eye. I mean, okay, it'll go away in like, an hour but still.

Oh can we? NOT.

Cain, are you and Wanda swapping notes? Because that's one of her favourite training exercises for me.

And don't listen to her when she mentions wrenches.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

If he throws wrenches at us, I'm blaming you.

[xp_daytripper]

It only hurts the first couple of times. ;)

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

yeah, after that, you can't feel anything. anywhere. you're numb from the brain down.

Remember, if you use the flaming dodgeball, you need the fire extinguisher right to hand, Cain...

I think you are supposed to dodge the dodgeball, yes? So that it will not hurt you?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was the idea, but Mr. Marko had other ideas. "Trainee exercise" my -butt-.

At least I'm not Forge though. He's like Jr. Trainee X-man Dodge Ball Magnet.

I hope we never fight bad guys with Dodgeball powers. Forge is SO screwed if we do.

Oh, bite me. I have bruises in places that have never even seen sunlight. I think my arm has a dent.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Not my fault you discovered your second mutant power today, and that it's "Attracts Dodge Balls from across the room"

I gotta admit though, Jan on Mr. Marko's head? BEST THING EVER.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

I figured, hey, he wants to hit me with a ball, he can hit himself with a a ball, too!

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Hey, it'd work on people who chuck plasma or fire or oatmeal or whatever.

Course, that I was laughing my butt off is why I got a dodgeball in the EYE.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

Can you imagine someone actually having the power to thrown oatmeal? I mean, oatmeal they make same as plasma or fire, just oatmeal instead!

Of course, some people are immune to their own powers so the actual plasma/fire idea might not work too well all of the time.

Because, you know, the following scenario would not make me too happy.

Jan: < lands on the head of Evil Flame Villain > "You want to get me, come flame your own head!"
Evil Flame Villain: "OK, I am the mighty Flame Villain and I cannot hurt myself with my own fire!" < flames head >
Jan: "Shit!" < gets burnt to a crisp and dies >

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I think that'd be messy but tasty. Well, unless it was gross oatmeal. Then it'd just be messy.

Yeah, maybe it's a strategy best used on people not immune to setting themselves on fire.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

Oh! If the flame person had a partner or a minion or something who wasn't immune to fire, I could land on THAT person's head!

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Actually, pretty impressive tactical choice, there.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

You see the part about not doing that with people who can flame their own heads and live to tell the tale? Because that would not be any sort of great tactical choice, would it?

But yeah, hiding on top of Cain's head.... great idea, and funny too!

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There's a reason I didn't sit on your head.
