In no time at all Charles and Derek arrived outside of the Danger Room.
Once they did Derek headed inside.
While Charles went up to the rooms control room.
After he did Charles activated a series of speakers in the room.
"Alright Derek. I'll be monitoring you from here. So if anything goes wrong I'll act immediately. Now then, please begin when you are ready."
"Any advice you can give me?" Derek asked.
"Just trust your instincts and let them guide you." Charles replied.
Derek resisting the urge to roll his eyes at Professor X, words.
Even if the man was partially right.
Derek knew some of the things he had the potential to do. Now he just needed to see if he could make them a reality.
So with that he cracked his neck from side to side.
"Okay, showtime." He told himself.
Once he did Derek made a list of all the powers Static Shock possessed.
First off, electrical generation and manipulation.
Check.
Electrical blasts
Check.
Electrical construct creation.
Raising his left hand in the air Derek focused, picturing a shield in his mind.
Once he did he fired off his electricity and then began working to manipulate it.
Sweat appearing on his forehead in the process.
"Come on, come on." Derek muttered to himself.
Continuing to focus and discharge electricity.
Five minutes passing until he was able to shape his electricity into a shield.
Once he did Derek cancelled his powers.
Taking the next few seconds to catch his breath.
As well as realizing just how much practice he would need when came to using his powers as easily as breathing.
Seeing Derek winded state Charles furrowed his brow. "Derek, are you okay to continue?"
"Sure am, Professor." Derek replied. "Just need a moment to catch my breath."
"Okay then." Charles replied.
Now watching the Danger Room wish an even more focused expression on his face.
Not paying any attention to this Derek finally caught his breath.
Once he did he moved onto the next power he remembered Static having in his arsenal.
Ball Lighting.
Electricity dancing on his hands Derek held them both up in the air, deciding to pull a Goku. For once he did this he focused his electricity together into one pure orb of lighting energy.
Then once he did Derek threw it into a nearby wall.
An audible heavy sound ringing out across the Danger Room.
Yet his attack didn't do much to the wall he launched it at.
Despite this Derek wasn't upset.
Given he has just confirmed another power in is arsenal.
Moving on.
"Time to kick this up a notch." Derek spoke.
He then closed his eyes and began to focus.
Focusing and focusing, until he finally began to feel the electricity all around him.
Then once he did Derek almost willed it to come to him.
A second after he did electrical energy came the Danger Room walls and hit Derek.
Filling his body with power.
"Amazing." Derek spoke. Unconsciously forming a blade of electricity before raising it into the air. "I have the power!" He shouted.
Derek suddenly releasing blasts of electricity in all directions of the Danger Room.
Until eventually he had released all the energy he had absorbed.
"Man, I'm good." Derek mused. Patting himself on the back.
Bedford moving into the next power.
Wavelength Tuning.
Closing his eyes Derek began focused electricity into his ears.
But when he did all he could hear is Static.
"Fuck!" Derek spoke.
Stopping the flow of electricity to his ears.
"Okay, so I have that power but it doesn't seem to want to work right." He muttered to himself. "Speaking on that."
Focusing electricity into his eyes Derek suddenly found himself looking at not only sources of electricity, but also objects made of electrical signals.
"Okay, enhanced vision. Check." Derek muttered.
The same for telepathic resistance.
Confirming his enhanced vision Derek began trying to cycle through the electromagnetic spectrum.
Only to immediately feel the stain on his eyes.
"Dammit " Derek muttered.
Closing his eyes until he could turn the flow of electricity to them off.
Once this occured Derek raised his hand towards a panel off the Damaged Room wall and then blasted it with electrical energy.
A few minutes after he did the panel itself began levitating into the air.
Derek smiling as he just verified his abilities related to electromagnetism.
Leaving only a few powers left.
Such as changing his entire body into electricity and even mechakinesis.
Though until Derek got better control of his powers he wasn't even going to attempt the former. Lest he kill himself. But as for the latter he could work on that at his leisure.
"Overall a good assessment in my book." Derek mused.
Charles still observing him from the Danger Rooms control room.
While he did he couldn't help but be slightly reminded of the powers of his old friend, Erik.
"To think I would encounter a young man with abilities similar to his." Charles mused. "Is this fate, or something else?"
Having no idea about Charles thoughts Derek turned around and left the Danger Room.
Charles arriving to meet him a few minutes later.
"Quite the display in there young Derek. You have power." Charles spoke.
"Yeah." Derek agreed. "But not enough control. At least to a level I am comfortable with for myself."
"But that's why you're here in the first place. To learn the control you are seeking." Charles said.
"I know." Derek replied.
Once he did the two of them headed back upstairs to the main mansion.
After which Charles guided Derek to a room.
"This will be your room." He said.
Derek nodding to Charles as he opened it up.
Where inside was a bed, a closet, a desk with a chair.
All of the things inside simple.
Yet for now Derek couldn't ask for much more.
Stepping inside Derek quickly inspected the room.
"It'll do." He said.
"I'm sure it will." Charles replied. "Now then, I'm sure you must've worked up an appetite. So follow me and I'll lead you to the dining hall for breakfast. Where you can also meet the other students."
"Alright, let's go then." Derek spoke.
Itching to meet the rest of the X-men.
So with that the two once more got on the move.
