Time:3:30 pm
Location:Mansion forest
With his classes over for the day James had done some of his homework before coming outside, wanting to get some fresh air. At the moment he was still trying to adapt to living in the United States where he had been in Africa all his life, the home country of his deceased father. But he had settled in well enough since he knew english as his native language and very few African, though just enough he got by before. Now he was in a whole new place with others just like him, except he was one of those who had an unstable power. One he was having trouble controlling most of the time, if not all the time.
Being distanced from the mansion James was confident that if anything happen he could avoid hurting someone now. He had already blown up a few shelves, desks, the wall, and other things in the mansion just from his aurora blasts or beams, or accidently created a shield and a few constructs without meaning to. It was a little embarrassing and concerning for James. The last thing he wanted to do was harm someone by mistake and thus his reason for coming out so far from the mansion instead of staying inside.
Coming into one of the clearings of the forest the young man finally came to a stop, giving the place a look around. Satisfied no one else was around he sat down to begin trying to meditate, having started it up in hopes it might help his control. Unfortunately as he was closing his eyes he winced as he heard the explosion of wood, feeling some of the chips hit his face and shoulder, looking towards his side to see the extent of the damage. A once large tree was now splinters of wood and chunks were left where it had been. Seeing this made James facepalm and groan in frustration, knowing it would be some time before he got control.
And at this rate it wouldn't surprise him if someone came looking for an intruder or to see if something was wrong.

Emma was walking around the school when she heard and explosion, she placed her fingers on her temple and scanned the forest and realized that it came from one person. She connected to the boy and spoke to him "Is everything alright?" She slowly walked over to the edge of the woods and looked down at the boy who was meditating. She knew the boy vaguely and raised an eyebrow, "Trying to control your powers, James?" She looked down at the ground and thought that it was best not to get her white cloak dirty. So instead she closed her eyes and shimmered into her diamond form and punched down at tree, so she could roughly have a chair to sit on. She smiled lightly and looked down at the ground. "You know if you would like, I could train you with control, its all in the mind you know? I have worked with a few people that are far worse than you, So I believe I can help." She phased out of the blinding diamond form and returned to normal.
She looked around the forest and smirked, this was a decent set of scenery, but she was old fashioned, and prefered to train in the danger room, but that is physical training, what James needed was some telepathic training. "You're not alone, you know. You always have someone here to help." She looked up at him and smiled, she scanned around the school to see if anyone else heard the explosion, she would save them a walk out before they got to her.
She looked into the male's eyes and simply asked "So James, what are you having the most trouble with, I mean when does your powers become most active?"

James had to admit it he was quite surprised when Emma suddenly contacted him through her telepathy, making him glance around at first until she came into sight. "Well of course Ms.Frost, guess it just hasn't been quite that easy as I would have thought."He said as he turned around slightly to face her more directly. Though he quietly listened as she spoke being now quite aware there were others like him and even had the same problem, to which he knew many had this problem when they got their powers. Though he jumped a bit when she suddenly made the tree fall from her diamond form before relaxing again.
Though he sighed as he knew she was right about the help, he just hadn't been quite sure who to go to. "Your right about that, just haven't known who to go to when it comes to my powers. With having them only almost two weeks I haven't been certain if they were mental or not."He admitted as he watched her return to normal form, before he could only shrug as he hadn't noticed a time when his powers tended to show most activity. They certainly had seemed very random at times or when he was focused on something intently, school being a good example.
"Suppose when I'm focused intently on something, but besides this they have been relatively random moments."James said as he met the White Queen's gaze, his dark green eyes shifting to a more lighter shade.

Emma nodded as the male explained everything to her and she gently smiled as she pushed her hair behind an ear as she softly spoke "Well in my belief, all powers have some portion of the mind and emotions. As when you have a burst of a certain emotion it could effect your powers expontially. That is why I like to go into battle, I guess you can say calm." Emma looked deeper into the boy's mind, trying to catch up on how his powers became active.
She realized that she was dealing with a mutant that dealt with energy blasts. "Well based on what I could see, you have blasts that well explode objects, and you haven't figured out how to direct these blasts. So I believe after I help with my telepathy Cyclops would be an ideal teacher, after all he has discovered how to control these blasts."
She looked at the boy and nodded her head "Now if its okay with you I would like to scan your mind and see if I could figure out the key to your powers, but that is, only if you want me to." Emma shook her head and broke what ever connection she had telepathically, the rest would be up to James, if it was a student or a fellow X-Man she tended to ask before she did anything, purely due to the expierences she had just barging in on people's thoughts, even more so people like Wolverine. She cleared her throat "What exactly I am thinking is a scan of your emotional put out and seeing your past endevours with them, seeing which would be the best course on how to control them."

That certainly explained a lot, especially with the kind of powers Emma had at her disposal. Well and it made quite a bit of sense as James never considered if it could potentially be connected to his emotions. Or a certain emotion. Considering when his powers had activated when nearly being beaten down by the low time gang he had created one of his shields, so perhaps it was out of will that he did it? Likely so. Still that didn't explain why this kept happening every so often that he was destroying things rather then defending himself.
Though perhaps his powers were both offensive and defensive now that he thought about it. But whatever the case he decided to take her advice in possibly approaching Professor Summers in helping him to know how to handle this better. Of course, after Emma had her chance to see if she could find the source of controlling his power. "I shall certainly try and see him Ms.Frost."He assured her before he gave a decisive nod when she inquired of being able to scan further into his mind, which still was kind of weird to feel.
Of course this was coming from the fact he had never encountered a telepath in his life until he came to this school. "Go as far as you need to Ms.Frost, I'm ready."He said with some confidence, more then willing to try and discover what triggered his powers.

Emma nodded as she was given the permission that she needed, she slowly sat up and brushed off her cloak and walked over to the male. She moved behind him and gently whispered "Now I need you to relax, close your eyes and allow me to penetrate your mind." She placed her hands over the boy's temples and she closed her eyes, forcing her being into his mind. She was reliving memories and tried to find what caused his powers to be out of control. She then learned that his powers could also create a shield. "Genius, so its a defensive mechanism too." She said to herself. She knew that his powers were not just tied to his emotions but in their own way had a mind of their own. If he needed to be protected, it would create a shield, now she needed to figure out what exactly causes the mysterious blasts.
She moved deeper and deeper into his mind, almost to the point of where she could feel what he feels when the accidental leaks happen. She looked into a memory of where he first discovered his powers and then had an idea, she lifted her hands away from the boy and smiled "I think I have an idea on what we are dealing with." She returned to her tree chair, and looked at the boy and confidently said "Your powers are indeed tied to your emotions but more importantly they have a psychic connection, like when you where attack a shield manifested and protected you." She nodded and went over everything in her own head before she spoke "Now with the uncontrollable part of your powers, I think I have a solution. How often do you use your powers, on purpose though. I think your powers are backing up and causing mysterious and uncontrollable explosions, I think if you use your powers and release some of it you will be able to not be a threat to yourself or to anyone else."
She looked at James and smiled "Now all that means is first we have to see how is the best way to redirect your power so you can aim it and control its destination. Once we do that then you will be put on Danger Room sessions under my careful eye and protection and then I believe we can stop the unwanted uh-ohs." She nodded firmly and smiled once more "How does all of this sound James?"

Doing as Emma instructed, relaxing his body and closing his eyes as her mind penetrated his own, giving him at first a reaction to tense before getting use to it and allowing her to do what she needed. Through the whole search he could feel Emma trying to seek the solution, the trigger that had resulted in his powers manifesting as they had. Though to his surprise it did not take her very long in the least as she was soon lifting her hands away from his temples and he opened his eyes to look at his teacher to see what she had to say.
Emma's findings confirmed some of what he had been wondering for the last week and a half now, realizing that his emotions were likely to play a big part in his powers next to his own subconscious mind. Again however he listened closely, but he could say he was guilty of not using the powers quite as often as he probably should have, mostly out of worry of hurting others and having been so confused on what happened the week before. It seemed he would have to adapt to this much more quickly then he realized if he didn't want to risk being a danger as Emma had said. But if it was thing he was better with was with defense, not offense. This now made it contradictory with his powers as they were proving to be more of a offensive power then defensive, but again as Emma had said and as he had seen his powers could work on a subconscious level to be able to defend him. Perhaps it was the same with attacking as well?
"For the most part it's definitely a relief to know what is causing all this I have agree with that. But I am more then up for finding ways to better channel the energy, even if it means sessions in the training room to do it."James finally spoke, thinking this may actually be the only way to help until he could better improve on his own abilities. But the question now was what kind of method could the use to find that control? "But Ms.Frost how exactly are we going to accomplish this?"

Emma intwined her fingers together and sighed "Now I think with the help of Cyclops, we can determine what is the easiest way for you to redirect the blast without putting strain or pain on you. I am thinking that you will be able to use your hands, but if not perhaps its all connect through your mind, and possibly you may be able to just tell it where you want it." Emma looked at the boy with a serious look upon her face and then lightly smiled "I think that I will be training with you, of course in my diamond form, and we will see if physical fighting will help you with your powers, I think that is honestly the best and safer way. Then you will actually get some senses of danger which could help you realize how your powers work." She looked around the forest and heard someone walking around the school, she shrugged them off and returned to James.
She smiled "Now its not going to be easy, you will probably be going to bed sore for a while, but with all that power blocked up inside you, it needs to be released before it releases itself." She looked into the boy's mind quickly and went back to the explosion before she came to him. He was meditating, so in other words, releasing the tension. She looked at him and thought to herself, the best way was to make him believe he was in a life or death situation, then maybe his powers would come too. That is why she wanted to be present during his sessions, so if anything were to go wrong she could stop it. She nodded her head and smirked "And perhaps after we find out how you channel your powers we could have you do a one on one fight, and see if you can control both offensive and defensive powers. As far as I can see, your nature is passive, but your power is offensive, yes it has some defensive aspects but it wants to be used offensively so even if you have to do target practice then that is what needs to be done."
She shifted to her diamond form and looked at him "Now can you try to do another explosion, preferrably at that tree over there." She pointed at a old rotting tree. In her book it needed to go anyways.

So it would still would need Scott's help for him to learn to control the blasts it seemed, even the beams he occasionally made that he noticed came from just about anywhere. Though it didn't help the fact that she further confirmed his concerns of it being all offensive, or mostly so. Much to his dismay this was the case and he would have to further his knowledge in offensive fighting compared to the defensive style he had come to adopt for himself, mostly finding the offensive wasn't always needed. But in this case for the sake of his powers James just would have to accept this fact.
Though being bed sore didn't surprise him, having faced that many a times during his training and some of his matches back in Africa. James though knew this was going to be a long road ahead of him for some months to come, if even a few years before he would realize the full extent of his powers. Heck, he didn't even know if they could be affected by true auroras in fact.
For now he pushed this aside before he also stood from his meditative position, James turning to look at the old worn down tree, this one looking like it wouldn't last long any way. If someone didn't handle it then the rotting trunk would certainly do the trick. "Alright here goes nothing."He said under his breathe, letting out a deep breathe as an aura appeared around him a flowing water like motion, closely resembling that of a natural aurora of different shades of green. And again his eyes changed color to a bluish-green this time. But still it took him a moment to concentrate on his power, tapping into it's energies as it seemed to begin to gather in swirling colorful orb between James' hands that he brought in front of his chest. When he was sure it was enough he looked back at the tree, sending the aurora beam firing towards the rotting plant and blasting it to pieces and then some.
When the beam ended all that was left was part of the stump, pieces of branches, and a few chunks of the trunk. Besides that there wasn't much left of the old tree and even some of the healthier trees had been skimmed at least fifteen feet more further in.

Emma nodded as James went to go forth and show her, his overwhelming power. She took a step back as he readied himself and she examined an aura glowing around him as he started charging up his power. She phased out of her diamond form as she heard the tree crumble. She looked at the male and thought to herself. She spoke up gently "Does your meditation help your powers be controlled, I have a theory. Now its just a theory but I think I know the one thing that could solve all of your problems." She looked at the forest and smirked. She took off her cloak revealing her leather outfit, white of course. She sat on her cloak and looked at the male "I wish for you to enter your meditation, pretend I am not here, and I will observe all your patterns."
She cleared her head, preparing herself for what she thought she had to do. She had seen another mutant like James, one she lost when she lost her academy so she was vaguely aware of the fighting style James would soon come to know, she would have to teach him the right hand to hand combat and explain to him how to use his powers for offense and defense. She crossed her legs and sat perfectly straight, clearing all the negitive energy from herself, she was going to observe him closely but try to make it so he wouldn't know that she was, so she could see exactly what happens every time he meditates. She looked at the boy and smiled "Do you feel better after that? I mean you must have released some of your power."

A theory huh? James was quite interested to hear what his teacher's theory was exactly but she didn't seem quite yet ready to let him know. But he had to admit meditating did tend to help him get through some of these occasional accidently blasts he never meant to happen so it did help in some ways. "Suppose it helps more then having to deal with it all day."He replied to her before he was surprised that Emma asked him to return to his meditative state again. Well if she had a theory then might as well cooperate. So as Emma had said he sat down once more crossing his legs and began to fall into his usual meditative state, closing his eyes.
But at the moment James was really left to wonder what Emma would have to do when it came to discovering his abilities more, especially with the type of training she would have in mind for him. At this moment he was willing to extend his knowledge on anything, even if that might mean more hand-to-hand offensive fighting. Not that they were already encouraging them to at least know some to avoid chancing in a situation they couldn't use their powers. "More so then before Ms.Frost, but there is still the risk it could happen short time after that."He explained to her, having seen it happen within a few hours of intentionally using his power.
