Stranger Things (X-Force)
Since Summers still didn't want Christina doing anything combat-oriented but couldn't put her on desk duty either (not to mention still couldn't pin the unusual disappearance...and later discovery of the remains of his car on her) he put her in the only other place he figured he could keep her out of trouble: Cerebro duty. For the last week she'd been spending her days up with Jenny Elston and she still wasn't quite sure what Elston did, powers-wise. She was a telepath to be sure, but when asked about anything else, she'd clam up, shrug her shoulders, and say she didn't have the greatest social skills so Professor Xavier figured she was best off monitoring Cerebro--but she was glad for the company. Cerebro was, most of the time, boring.
"So your latest power acquisition is omnilingualism, huh?" The girls had taken to playing poker during some of the really quiet moments. Jenny kept winning and looked up at Tina over her cards as she awaited an answer.
"Yeah. My boyfriend loves it because I can talk dirty to him in a ton of languages now."
"I'm surprised you haven't picked up some weird armor plating, dating a Rhodes. They're kinda close with the Starks."
"I do diamond armor. And I only pick up other mutant powers. Not technological genius. And how do you know anything about the Rhodes and Starks?"
Jenny just smiled. "Same way I just beat you. Again." She tapped her temple. "Are you sure you're a telepath? You don't seem to do a lot of mind-reading."
"Spent way too much time in my childhood doing it. Dammit, you did win again." Tina started to gather up the cards when the Cerebro alert went off, loudly. The two girls rushed to look at the console.
"Oh shit, that can't be right." Jenny's eyes widened. "Yesterday, there were five low-level mutant signatures there. Now..."
Tina tapped the glass.
"Now it looks like a power bomb went off." The two girls looked at each other. Last time this had happened, it was Fargo. Tina started out of the room. "I'll get Summers."

Ten minutes later, Tina was banging on Summers' office door.
