During a training session with X-23 in the danger room she caused her teammates: Pavel Rasputin/Colossus, Rico, Oliver Raven, and No-Name; to lose the session because she was afraid if she went all out her feral nature would have taken over and put everyone in danger. After the session, she was very upset but her friends carried her out to a local club to cheer her up [GeneXt #1].
