*for a moment, Jason is taken aback by the wreck room...this thing was like a holodeck from Star Trek. However, he quickly pushes that strange feeling aside, focusing his mind on the object at hand...find the flag. Simple enough. After all, he already saw the building where it was hidden. With a confident smirk, he nods to Metallic* No problem. *and with that, he sets off jogging towards the building where he had seen the flag just moments before*

*a chuckles issues from his lips as the overeager rookie takes off without waiting to see what the catch was..just for that he ups the stakes* Metallic sequence 24B *and steps back out the door, letting the kid run gamut himself....*A shot rings out shattering a window near Jasons head, pieces of sharp glass go flying...another shot breaks the pavement just centimeters from his foot and a figure steps out before him, Shotgun raised...*Wrong move kid *as the last word issues form he figures lips the trigger is squeezed*

*as soon as the first shot is fired, Jason dives away from the sound of the shotgun, catching the glass full on. The second shot startles him a bit less, but causes him to jump again, bringing him face to face with the figure with the shotgun. One thought goes through his mind as the trigger is squeezed, "Oh shit!" Without thinking, he drops to the ground, simply hoping to avoid the last shell.*

*From outside Micheal watches and nods appreciatively at Jasons reactions...*well at least the kid tries to move *He keys in a sequence as he watches the shotgun blast heading directly for Jason, fading out most of the pellets, however allowing a few to graze his skin, just to prove that this can be real.... as the pellets impact the gunman vanishes from sight, leaving the path apparently open once more*

*Jason winces as the pellets graze him...between that and the glass shards, he wasn’t exactly in stellar condition* All right...so this is manhunt CTF. I can work with this...*he could work with it better if he had a gun of his own, but then beggars cant be chooses. This time, Jason looks around for any alleyways or cover he can use to get to the building, his eyes darting around frantically as he darts from cover to cover as quickly as he can*

*....Ahead of him to his right is a darkened alleyway partially blocked by boxes....straight ahead on the sidewalk are a series of small concrete garbage cans, and on the left side of the road is a loading dock with several large barrels arrayed along its edge.....The visible gunman may have vanished from sight, but elsewhere there was obviously someone else as bullets rain down around him, none hitting but all coming close, some perhaps too close*

*he manages to get out of the way of the bullets as soon as he hears the first few shot, but isn’t able to determine exactly which direction they are coming from, but he is quickly becoming annoyed at all the snipers in this place. In order to throw off the shooter, he begins zigzagging around the street as he closes the building with the flag, trying to take as much advantage from cover as he possibly can by ducking in between the barrels on the left side of the street*

*The shots track him perfectly, just dogging his heels as he zig zags across the street....Outside the room Mettalic sighs* such a predictable move, he's watched way too many movies *..once more he sighs as Jason ducks between the barrels...but then again, this sequence wasn't meant to be won by a rookie...a low thud can be heard as a bullet impacts with a barrel then it explodes, the explosion dramatically less then what it could be*

Despite the fact that the explosion was less than it could have been, it caught Jason totally off-guard, and in fact throws him back several feet, a few pieces of shrapnel from the barrel cutting up his extremities a bit as he tries to shield himself from the blast. The shock from the explosion was enough, for Jason though. Suddenly, all around him red energy flares to life, the air around him literally crackling as the power builds up for all of a split second before washing out in an eight-foot radius around him, causing any inorganic material within the radius to violently explode, causing several more explosions to impact Jason, who was now being thrown around like a rag doll, barely remaining in the conscious world*

*Metallic shakes his head as he watches the kid get thrown back and injured* Sequence end! *he issues the words as he steps through the door into the room..the illusions fade and once more it is merely a bare room..He stands back watching for a few brief seconds as the energy crackles around Jason...having no direct effect on the room,...it being built to withstand anything that unnaturals could dish out,...but everything is recorded about the power* Okay Rosebud...that’s enough..trainings over! *unsure if you could hear him above the sound of your own powers he uses his own to direct his voice so it seems almost as if he is shouting within your ear.. he watches you carefully knowing full well that new powers were difficult to control, and quite often freaked the rookie out*

*Jason winces when Metallic shouts in his ear...he was still aware of his surroundings, but barely. His ears were still ringing from the series of explosions that he had experienced at near point-blank range. Right now, he was next to delirious, and definitely unsure of what the hell happened. The last thing he remembered clearly was one bullet hitting a barrel, then a huge series of explosions. His clothes were burnt to a crisp, and his pockets had been destroyed as everything within them exploded as well. For several moments, he doesn’t move, partially out of the lack of energy to do so, and partially because of the pain and loss of blood. Finally, he groans, stirring softly as he attempts to get back up*

well, Rosebud, *a smirk crosses his face* ya didn't do too bad for a first timer...*he walks over to the kid, shakes his head then offers a hand to help him up...obviously no healing factor here...* lets get ya fixed up

*taking Metallic`s hand limply, Jason struggles to get back up again, but he is about as sturdy as a wet tissue when he finally does get up again, forcing him to lean on Metallic heavily. Quietly, in a throaty, pained voice, he mutters* Next time...I get a gun. *with that, he coughs, a little blood following as he does so*

*he chuckles lightly* sorry Rosebud, no firearms till ya at least pass the lower unarmed levels...*He easily takes the kids weight and leads him out of the Wreck room...he glances over at Shane* Ya wanna key up the meds? tell 'em I gotta rookie from training and get the tape to records and Pole for review while your at it.....*Shane nods while he keys it all in* sure thing Mike, bar tonight?...*Michael chuckles* hell yeah! see ya then *He supports Jason up the hallway and around the corner.. one of the med labs was close to the Wreck room, for events such as this..the door slides open and a nurse directs Jason over to a table* Ya should be ok in a sec...we got good stuff round here

*as soon as he reaches the table, Jason collapses on it, barely staying awake as the medical staff begins to patch him up. He can barely hear anything that is being said to him anymore, his ears still ringing from the explosions, but he gets the jist of it all before unconsciousness finally claims him*

*He shakes his head as the kid passes out* Oh well, he’s young...*not that Michael would probably have been any better, but then he had been trained since before his powers came out..Jason had actually done better than some newbies out there...this training had served multiple purposes...to awaken the kid to what was really happening, and to revel his powers..both seeming to suceed..Micheal sticks around for a bit hitting on the nurse then once Jason is patched up he turns to leave...assured that the kid will be none the worse for wear*
