So...

She's not precisely a new team member - she was running around in the original black leathers before the X-Men were a gleam in the eye for most of you. But I'm very happy to be able to say that Tabitha has finally decided to reemerge from the library and get back into the training rotation.

I expect you'll all do your best to help her get back into the swing of things. And Tabitha, I swear that old betting pool about which of your training partners you'll blow up first will never be resurrected. Not even just between Ororo and I. Really.

Hah! Welcome back to the world of stupid trainee codenames.

(Not to say that the concept of noms du guerre isn't silly on its own, but it seems to be exceptionally so with this little hazing tradition.)

Dude. Does this mean we get to set her up with a silly trainee name? Because I TOTALLY want to do that!

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I sincerely hope so.

I still say that when Paige gets her slightly-wider-than-before butt back into the swing of things that SHE needs to get a trainee name for a while since apparently she missed it the first go-round.

I'll just say this: to train and to be a trainee are not necessarily the same thing.

Oh, come on. Tabitha needs a silly trainee name, because I don't see that she ever had one either! Something like "The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight". Or "Boom-Boom" if that's too complicated.

You could always just dub her 'Boom-Boom' unofficially and see how long it takes you to run afoul of her devious streak. If you've looked into her file, you know how long she and I worked together. And I fostered that devious streak shamelessly.

I would like to state for the record that this is unfair at new epic levels of unfairness. Not to slight Tabitha at all - she's got team experience from back in the days before the mansion had electric lights, apparently - but no one should go without the wonderful learning experience of being beaned with a dodgeball by the Juggernaut.

That's why you need to move faster next time.

If 'Boom-Boom' ends up sticking, she's going to completely meltdown on you. My ears are still ringing from her last charge in Afghanistan.

With the wonderful welcome I've received thus far, you may have to reconsider opening that pool...
