Rocco only frowned as he was rendered useless once again. He could have made it very quiet but so did Iris and it seemed it took her no effort and no sound. Rocco released a sigh as he followed the girls in. He followed somewhat behind them as he was not good at sneaking about and he made a fair bit of noise splashing. Why was he even picked out for this mission. The professor must have been off his rocker.
Rocco tried to smile to X-T and her attempt to lighten his mood but it had the opposite affect. Rocco was only reminded at how bad a fighter he was despite his grand size even if he was only average height.

"Sorry Rocco," Iris said shyly as she caught up with the group after coming through the boulder herself, "How much further X-T?" she asked.

X-T held up a hand.
"Shh," She spat sharply as she took out her binochulars, her eyes picking up something.
"...Yeah chief. I hear ya. Take post, ok," A voice said ringing in X-T's ears. X-T turned to the two and put a single finger on her lips. She quickly ran under a rock, sticking her head out to see the man above her on the ledge above.
"I don't see anyone here... I know you heard voices, chief, but I can't shoot on sight if there's nobody here to shoot," The man said, his back facing towards X-T. Quickly, X-T jumped onto the ledge, ran foward, jumped off the mans back, took out her dual pistols, and shot the man in the back of the head before he could turn around. The man's body fell to the ground, his walkie talkie colliding with the rock side. X-T landed in a croutched position, her pistols resting on her shoulders. She turned around and smiled to the two, waving her hand at them telling them it was alright.
"I promise ya guys get the next bunch," X-T said with a smirk.

Rocco stopped walking unsure of why Iris had told him she was sorry. Rocco turned and faced her a little puzzled but it was only because he was unaware that she was a telepathy or even that he was so easy to read that people did not need powers to know how he was feeling right now.
"Pardon? Sorry? For what?" Rocco asked slowly as he rolled it all through his head. The pattern of his speech clearly showing his one track mind working at it's best but coming up with little.
Rocco went dead silent holding his breath as XT told them to Shhh. Rocco heard nothing at first then he heard someone saying something and he crouched down unable to move from his spot without making to much noise.
The next thing Rocco was aware of was that XT had killed a man right infront of Rocco and Rocco had no idea as to what to do. He stood there in shock and did not move or speak but was acutely aware that he was totally the wrong pick for this mission now. He did not want to be here now. What started out great had turned for the worst.

Iris was about to open her mouth when X-T went a shot some guy in the back, "Are you crazy?" she asked, "Well we avoid them hearing the boulder, but heck now they've heard the gun."

"They're almost mile away," X-T said with a smile, "Besides, this is they're only way out, so's we know they can't get away another way. If they heard that, they would have began runnin' though, eh? Or they prolly thought that was this guys shot," X-T rolled the man's body over with his foot, then bent down to collect the bullets and other necesities off of his belt. She picked up the assult rifle the man had and held it on her shoulders.
"Who wants th' big gun?" X-T said with a smirk.

"No thanks," Iris said adjusting her staff, "Either way we should pick up the pace, the faster we get this over with the better."

Rocco said nothing but looked between after snapping out of his shock. The professor was mad to send Rocco on this mission. He threw up his hands to show that in no way was Rocco going to use a rifle. He rather be shot by his enemies before he would commit to such and act.
Rocco wondered if they were to kill all of the humans why not use there powers. What was with this game the professor was playing with them. Was it a test? Rocco was terrified of the answer no matter what Rocco was wishing he was still in the med bay.

"Over still stands," X-T said, attaching the gun behind her backpack. X-T turned around and looked up, sniffing the air and walking forwards.
"Dry land ain't to far away. It'd be easier if we jus' climb up, but whatever floats ya guys boats is alright wit' me," X-T said with a smile.

Iris looked up and shivered, she wasn't fond of heights unless she was on a broomstick covered in runes to keep her from falling off, "Let's go," she said weakly.

"On up climbin'? Didn' know ya were th' type, Iris. But if ya insist," X-T said swinging her grabble around for fun, then threw it around an arch that used to belong to be a building. Making sure it was tight enough she jumped up, letting in some of the rope, and swung forward, swinging over the pit that was below and landing on a platform.
"It ain't hard!" X-T said with a smile, "Jus' gotta get alotta umph in the first jump,"

If the floor or walls were dirt Rocco could almost teleport over but since they were stone he was forced to rely on other measures. Rocco would not be able to a grappling hook at all so powers were the only option left.
Rocco merely walled up to the wall then up the wall and walked across the wall over the pit to the other side. It was easily done because the cavern was stone. Stone, earth, minerals are elements that Rocco has control over and they will do much at his asking.

"I won't scream," Iris whispered grabbing the rope and swinging over, stumbling as she hit the other side.

X-T smiled and nodded at them both.
"Nice job to ya both," X-T said with a grin, she walked forward. X-T looked up, seeing no platform to climb up or jump onto to get to the next cliff.
"Hmm," X-T said looking around, trying to find something that could be leverage for all three of them to climb up or something like that. Seeing a large enough rock that would be easy enough to climb up laying up against the rock walls, a smile grew on X-T's face and she turned to Rocco.
"Hey, does that offer still stand ta move th' rock?" X-T said with a wink.

Rocco grinned slightly and moved to the wall where he needed to make a ledge. Rocco put his hands against the wall as direct contact made it easier to shape and mold rock or dirt. Rocco focused so it would be quiet and sturdy. Slowly the rock unlike the others thought was formed right out of the cave face making it one piece from the wall and far more secure. Rocco stepped back from the wall with a feeling of a job well done.

"So that's what your powers are," Iris said curiously, "For a minute I was wondering why Xavier sent you along with us, but now I know."

"I can do much more." Rocco said to let the others know well still being as modest as possible. Rocco knew his strengths and a most of his weaknesses. Everyone could take their best guess and try their lucky and/or skills if they wished. Normally though he was much more helpful.
Rocco was still curious was he was sent. Doubts as to the professors true intentions lingered about his mind like a a noxious gas that would could not escape as they moved about.
"Then you can let me know." Rocco said expression at the professor's logic in sending Rocco on this type of mission. The uncertainty was abundantly clear in the tone and mood of his voice. Something is very wrong here.

"Well, if th' perfesser didn' put ya on this mission, I'd say ya doin' trimendious in Danger Room sessions," X-T said with a smile as she held out her hands as she walked up the rock. X-T smiled, seeing where the water did cut off and land was visible.
"Lovely," X-T said, walking through the water and stepping onto the land, making footprints with her steps.

Rocco had no powers at all in the danger room and would not be sent in there for practices. Rocco was made to due exercises outside how ever and Rocco enjoyed the work out and practice very much. Work was something that never scared Rocco off. More over if it was physical labour. Rocco is of the type to never shy away from work and always wanted to do his fair share.
Rocco gave X-T a shrug to express that he did not mind the exercises. Then waited for her to take lead once more before he followed in step behind her.

X-T walked up on shore, tightening her pony tail. After walking a few feet, an entrance to what seemed a temple became in sight.
"Aw, look at it," X-T said, taking out her binochulers.
"Ah yes, this is where you three need to enter in. The artifact should be inside," The professor said over X-T's head piece.
"I ain't complainin'," X-T said, then hearing the helicopters not to far away, "Aw, here come th' bullies ta ruin th' fun," X-T looked around, biting her lip as she thought of a plan.
"I got nothin', ya guys got anythin'?" X-T said turning around to them.
