Brushing her dark red hair back, Claire looked around the hanger. Looking at the jet, knowing that she would rarely be able to go on missions aboard her. Scoffing as she walked around the gigantic bird. Knowing that she would never get a chance to prove her powers to the time "Someday I will proof my worth to this team." Claire looked around the hanger. Seeing small weapons area, and some other areas for which she wasn't familiar with. Walking under the gigantic bird, she could see that it had been freshly washed down. Wondering when the next new recruits would be aboard it. Knowing she wouldn't be one of them. Claire took a deep breath closing her eyes, knowing she had to talk to either the Professor or Scott Summers. She knew the Professor would understand her concern but she wondered about Scott. Would he understand her point and concern. Claire's main concern was to be able to proof her worth. To show that she was capable of fighting in missions. She hoped he would see that she was a fighter.

Scott walked towards the jet, in his blue diver suit like uniform with polished metal visor. He always wore this when checking over the Jet...it was just habit he supposed, just like how he wore it when in hte danger room, though in there it made a bit more sense. He supposed it just made the whole situation feel a bit more...official, yes that was the right word for it and Scott liked it when things were official.
Just in front of him he saw a girl wondering around the jet, raising an eyebrow he thought about asking why she was there and demanding why she was in the area of the jet...but it really wasnt a bit deal, though he wished he could make it a restricted area it really wasn't and people were in and out all the time. It just tended to be empty because a big room with a locked jet in it really wasn't that interesting after the second or third time. So he simply walked up to her and asked "Can I help you?"

Claire turns around to see Scott Summers. The leader of the X-men. She wanted to join a team, she wanted to prove to people that she was strong. Her training in karate would be a great assist to the team. "Hello Scott. It's Claire." She stated looking at him, brushing back a strand of red hair behind her ear. She knew that in order to prove herself she needed to get his approval or the Professors. But she hated how he always thought that if someone wasn't strong enough he would disapprove. Scott...I need to talk to you. I want to join the X-men. I can be of help."

Scott looked at the girl, it was Claire, he knew her...sort of, she had been here for a long time after all. She was an animal telepathist, an interesting skill that Scott felt had slightly lesser practical applications, well...unless of course they were in an area that had a lot of natural wildlife, which was pretty much...well everywhere. Okay maybe he'd not thought that through very well.
He nodded her, curious about what she wanted, surely the Blackbird wasn't very interesting to her anymore? after all it must've been hardly new to her that a jet lived under the school. Then she spoke...so she wanted to be an X-man hmm... "You want to be an X-man? I suppose it could be done...but what is with your interest now? it's not very glamourous...and very dangerous, esspecially now

Claire walked around the front of the Blackbird, she knew the reason she wanted to go on missions. It was to prove that she was capable of fighting just like the others,"I've been here a long time, Scott. I think you might know why I want to fight. I get easily misunderstood cause of my power. I want to help in the battle against Apocalypse." Claire stated brushing back her hair. She wanted to fight and teach at the same time. She hated seeing her friends go into battle and come back home hurt, she was tired of it" I'm tired of seeing you all go into battle and coming home injured. I want to help. Please let me join Scott."

She had spirit, he had to give her that and in all honesty it wasn't as if he'd not trained mutants with unusual powers before. He closed his eyes behind his visor for a moment and recalled the line up for the current teams. He and Jean were currently co running a new smaller squad now that the original team was getting a bit full...after all organising a squad of eight in a battle sim was hard enough, let alone in the real thing...he could always try to slot her in there.
He looked down at her and kept his neutral looking, serious expression on his face. That was one reason he liked his newer costume, you could only really see his nose and mouth. It let him be all theatrical when he wanted to be "There is a spot open on one of the teams...I'll have to clear it with some other people but I could very well get you in...

It was easier then she thought. He offered to train her. THis made her very happy. It was giving her a chance to proof herself in a fight and to help with the coming battles against Apocalypse. She smiled softly at Scott,"Thank you Scott. I won't let you down. I promise." She walked over to him hugging her. Wondering when training would begin. Maybe it would enhance her abilities a little bit more."When will it begin?"

Scott was surprised and caught off guard by the hug. He wasn't a hugger...really, he didn't hug anyone who wasn't Jean. They made him feel quite self consious, much to the amusment of some of his friends. In responce he hid a slight grimmance and responded with a light pat on the back for her. Surely that would suffice? "Um...yes, right. I'm sure you won't let me down."
Now he just needed to decide when to start this little exercise. The danger room was being used a fair bit these days but he should be able to book it for an hour or two to train his team. He'd just have to wait a few days to do it. "I'll put in a request to use the Danger Room. It'll takea few days but I'll let you know when the training session is"

Claire smiled brightly. Saying he would train her, it made her so happy to be able to protect her friends. She wondered how training would go. She wanted to prove herself to the team. To protect her friends and her family. Knowing the dangers of the world, she needed to prove to them so was strong. Her ability may not be of great use unless surrounded by wildlife, but she did have martial arts training. She would use that training to prove her worth on the battlefield.

Scott nodded to her before he spoke again, there were a few things they needed to talk through before they actually implemented her in to the team. Cyclops had already planned several strategies that would now need to be re worked to fit in the new team member. It wasn't much work but it needed doing, and Scott loved doing things like this.
"Come with me in to the Jet, I need to run some checks on it, and we need some stuff to talk about" He walked in to the jet via the ramp, guessing she would follow him in. "First off, we need to discuss different uses we have for you and your skills. So we can work them in to team strategy. Have you had anything in mind so far? and second...well you need a Uniform, do you know where you get one from?"

Following him into the Jet, Claire looked around. Never had she seen something so glamorous she wasn't use to such technology. She heard him talk to her and she smiled at him. Knowing not only were her skills in animal telepathy benefical she also was a martial artist, " Well I am a martial artist. I believe I could help in protecting people in danger. With my ablity, well thats different. I am able to communicate well with all sorts of animal." She stated watching him walk around.

Scott listened to her as he sat down in the Jet's leather pilot seat. He indicated the matching co-pilot seat next to him and said "Take a seat" Well she was a martial artist, so she had combat knowledge...that was good. Granted if someone pulled a gun on her she'd have to be good at dodging bullets as well but he was sure she knew that.
He was interested in learning about her Animal telepathy as well, exactly how it worked and how he could use it. He typed some buttons on the control pannel and the ramp came up. "So...your Animal Telepathy, how does it work? is it the ability to command them or...gain their knowledge...or abilities or something? tell me if I hit the right button He then begun to run a diagnosis on the engines, those were probably the most important part of the jet.

Claire walked inside the Jet taking a seat, placing her hands on her legs. She looked around the magnificent beauty. It truly was glorious. SHe turned to look at Scott, he seemed impressed with her combat knowledge. When she heard him ask of her abilities she smiled, Well you've hit a few correct buttons. Ah can talk to them, gain information, and also ask for their help in battles." She smiled hearing her accent come out a bit. She wondered what it was that would help her in battles. She wanted to help her friends as much as she could with her abilities.

It was better to have some idea of what she could acomplish, now he knew exactly what she could do and an idea popped in to his head almost immediatly. She would be perfect for Recon deep in enemy territory, fliers now days were ten a penny and they could be spotted fairly easily with modern technology but if one of their team could tell a bird to fly over the base and return, they could see what emplacments and defenses before the enemy even knew they were there.
The engines were running perfectly, airflow was at maximum intake so that meant he wouldn't need to clean them out that was good. Next he checked the navigation systems "I kind of like the sound of your powers. What limitations do you have? like...if you sent an animal off to do a scouting mission it would it get distracted and start doing it's own thing after it got a certain distance from you?"

SItting there brushing her hair back. SHe never really knew how far she could keep a link with an animal. Trying to think, Claire tried remembering how her longest link was.Well I'm not sure of my limits. I've never been tested on it." She looked at him knowing that links with raptors and dogs were some of her most strongest. She loved communicating with birds of prey. They seemed so free and beautiful. Dogs understood her and comforted to her often.
