Danny Green

Nothing much really happened with Danny the past couple of days. After the event that took place in Biology, the red headed boy had time to think about what was said during that little debate. He could admit he did sound a bit crazy and even threatening when he mentioned that nature was going to fight back at its oppressors. It was a habit for him to admit what he said was loony only after the fact he said it. Oh well, you live and your learn. From then he kept to himself most of the time by spending time galloping through his garden and experimenting with his plants in the greenhouse that seemed to be a second home to him. No one seemed to bother him while he secluded himself away from the rest of the students in fear that they would either get scolded or get their ear talked off. Even so, Danny still enjoyed having time to himself to spend with mother nature and her creations.

Danny was now being walked into the Danger Room with the rest of his teammates for another assignment to go horribly wrong. Even though the last one didn't go so bad, they still had time to develop and grow. Either way, he knew they were all about to get their asses handed to them for another time. Immediately a knot formed in the pit of his stomach as he saw the scenery in which they would be tested in: A school gymnasium. This brought back horrible memories for Danny as he remember when he first started school and having to endure the taunting from boys his age. Of all places where they could be tested, it had to be here. Danny would have it in the bag if it took place outdoors or in a forest. But alas, scenarios like this is what made him a better mutant, to be able to survive in places that weren't exactly his comfort level.

After a few warm-up exercises, the professor walked them over to a wrestling style mat to explain to them what they would be doing. Danny jumped when he was immediately faced with an exact replica of himself, down to the very style of clothing he was wearing which was a mere green t-shirt, capris pants and some Vans. The only thing that was different was the fact they were in black and white while being slightly transparent. 

"Today we are going to start by facing the greatest foes you will ever have....yourselves."

Not a moment too soon after Professor Pierce made that statements, the clones proceeded to attack the students by tackling them into the ground. Danny hit the floor with a loud thud that seemed to knock the wind out of him. So much for being transparent. The boy was more shocked that the clone who was supposed to be like him in every way was that strong. Maybe he didn't know his own strength after all. However now wasn't the time to over analyze his doppelganger. With a loud grunt, Danny pushed his clone off of him and stood up immediately, not taking his eyes off of him. From a distance, he could hear his teammates already struggling with defeating their counterparts. This was going to go horribly wrong fast. With no vegetation in the gymnasium, Danny did was he did best and reached inside of his seed pouch he had around his waist and threw a handful of seeds throughout the floor. A lot more than what he threw at the previous Danger Room session. Raising his arms, he commanded the seeds to sprout with grass and vines growing around his feet and over a vast amount of the gym. He was still struggling with the fact that he was seeing himself which would probably take a toll on him later.

Danny wasn't ready when his clone began to manipulate the very seeds he planted, animating vines to spring forth from the grassy plane that was created and sicking them on the human counterpart. He tried to move as fast as he could but it didn't work. The vines wrapped themselves around his arms and ankles, restraining him so he couldn't move an inch. He tried to use his own power to remove them, but it was no use. As trees and bushes began to sprout forth throughout the gym, the vines started to drag Danny to his black and white counterpart as if being caught in a trap. With every tug and jerk, it only made the vines tighten their grip around him as he looked up to see an evil grin on the clone as he was approached him fast. The clone jumped up and landed right on top of Danny, immediately going to right and left hooks across his face like a human punching bag. He started to spit up blood as he cried out for his clone to stop hitting him.

With a last mental strain, he managed to remove the vines with his abilities and telekinetically shoot them towards his attacker. Like tentacles, the vines started to tangle themselves around the clone which now started to grow sharp thorns. He was this clone like him? He was not evil and cynical like that. This had to be some kind of mistake. Even though the vines had subdued his opponent, it began to laugh at Danny, taunting him. So the clones could speak too? This was just becoming too weird.

"C'mon Danny. I know you can do it. Finish me off. It's your true nature," it said coldly.

"No it's not..." Danny was getting choked up hearing his own voice speak at him in such a way. He almost couldn't believe he was speaking back at it. This illusion was getting too real. "I'm not evil. I could never be like you."

"Oh yes you are. You're an Eco-Terrorist in the making. You want your plants to rule the world and to eradicate humankind. You're no better than Magneto," he spat.

"You're Lying! Stop saying that," Danny shouted as he increased the grip on his vines on his counterpart in pure anger.

"I'm not lying and you know it's true. You're a bad bad Danny boy," the clone said as it began to chuckle. "Now kill me! You know you want to."
