A yellow cab pulls in through the gates after getting the approval and the gates opening wide letting it in. Rolling along the paved driveway and then pulling to a slow stop at the entrance to the academy. The cab driver gets out and walks around to the trunk and lifts the lid pulling out a large duffel bag and dropping it to the ground with a soft thud. He then proceeds to walk around to the door and knocks on the window. "Hey! Kid, we are here. Let's go. I ain't got all day."
The door clicks and slowly swings open. Out climbs a the passenger. He was wearing a green and black jacket that was a bit tight on him. Stretching a little from the long ride, he slowly looked to the large doors before him and sighed shaking his head. Reaching up his hand ran through his short Blondie hair and the afternoon's sun glinted off the metal implant on his hand. As his fingers slid along his head, his hair was pulled back with it revealing more metal disc's on his temples. The marks of what he really was. His mother had already paid for the cab so he leaned down and scooped up the duffel bag buy the long strap and slung it lightly over his shoulder. The cab drove off and out the gate. He turned to watch the gates close once again. He was back again. Home. he thought to himself and chuckled shaking his head again.
Looking at the doors again and then the gate. There was nothing making him stay here. The the look on his parents face as he screwed up again and got into more trouble. Causing them so much grief made him think otherwise. He knew he had to stay and he had to get his stuff together. He had been a screw up way to long. Especially here. Kyle did not know what to expect from everyone here. If he would be accepted or shunned. Emma had spoken to his parents and made the arrangements for his return. Sending him the new uniform and even assigning him a new Code name. "Fleet." He said out loud. "New name, new start." We will see. Ran through his mind as he began walking to the large doors of the foyer.

Late for art class because he had to take a wicked shit, Chase was running at full tilt up the stair in the foyer when the front door swung in wide. Standing there in all his glory, well actually looking a bit downtrodden to tell the truth was his one time roomie. "Holy MakkaFLIP! Mon I an I nevah tought ta lay me eyes on y'again!" Chase hollered down from the landing in his Jamaican accent.
He rushed back down and laughingly threw his arms around Kyle. "Hey man welcome back! Can't say I haven't missed ya, cause I really have, but it's gonna suck to have to share a room again." He patted him on the back and roughly grabbed up his bag from him as a plan formed in his mind.
"C'mon Kyle duuude, I'm late for art and you can be my excuse. We'll say I have to help you and all since we share a room. it just might work." He grinned pleadingly at him and goofily batted his eyes. "Whadda ya say buddie? Help a brother out?"

Kyle walked into the foyer and didn't get much further then the door when he was attacked with a hug. Chase had wrapped his arms around Kyle and Kyle wasn't sure how to react. Kyle wasn't really in the right state of mind to celebrate his return, so he didn't really hug him back. Though he did not object to Chase taking his bag. "Hey Chase, how's it going?" He asked to be polite and knew Chase wasn't going to go away. After seeing how Chase was acting toward him, Kyle kinda smirked a half smile. Chase was always there for Kyle no matter how stupid Kyle acted.
"Art class? Your taking an art class?" Kyle asked and blinked a bit. His usual cocky smile and sharp wit had seemed to have been dulled. The energetic and mischievous look was gone from his eyes. He really didn't want to run around with Chase right now, but he also didn't want to let Chase down for all the times he was there for him. "Ummmm.... OK I guess" He shrugged and nodded, his hand reaching up and running through his hair once again. It was an unconscious nervous reaction.
Stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets he smirked again. "Lead the way Bud." In a way Kyle was kinda grateful it was Chase that was the first to greet him. He still didn't know how his return would weigh on some of the other students. He also wondered how the team was. "Hey Chase, What have I missed? Is the team still the same?" He had no idea what to expect or even if Rogue was still the team Leader.

"Kyle man you really were out of it huh?" Chase said clapping an arm around Kyle's shoulders as they headed up into the upper hallway heading to the art room. "No problem man, let me catch you up. Nightcrawler's back. They're all back from limbo, cept for two students Elixir and Guardian. They didn't make it." His voice was strangely without play for the moment as he asked him "Did you know them? Sorry to bring it up like that if you did, but yeah" he dropped his arm off the guy's shoulders to switch hands with his gear "they died in that place, and the kids that came back from there are not even the same."
"As for the team, whoa it's been through some rad changes too." He grinned at Jumper and his mood lightened as he started to tell of the Paragons. "It's got like double the number of people on it now, a couple of new kids just showed up like yesterday and they seem pretty cool. I'm keepin everybody pretty much in line as best I can while still havin fun-" he bobbed his head saying " cause that's the way I roll. We got the hottest and coolest chicks in the high school levels man! Wait till you see 'em. I know you'll love this new chick Kat, but we got Lian and Sky still and we still got Veronika- Oh yo! I know you were kinda sweet on her but thank freakin god we got rid of Katana." He looked over at Kyle to gauge his reaction "Yeah swapped her for Frostbite, who still has yet to make any kind of effort to be like one of us."
"Hey, but maybe that'll change tonight. Cause you're in luck buddy" He said with slick sarcasm. "We got team practice tonight after the Hellions roll outta the Danger Room. As unofficial team Captain I got the word from Nightcrawler hisself deewd." He made a funky looking made up gang gesture. "Yeah so I gotta tell everybody else on the team, who uh, who didn't hear him say it at lunch time to all of us." He puffed out his chest and started a proud strut saying "Yeah so like I said I'm like the big cheese, head honcho -" then he relaxed sorta chuckling at himself "ah whatever, hey I ain't foolin you man. Look seriously though we have practice tonight and I have kinda had it put on me to be like sorta the go to guy, no biggie really but yeah. Wolverine's been riding my ass for weeks now man it's a bitch."

Listening intently as Chase went over a lot of the events Kyle had missed. He smiled a bit hearing nightcrawler and Wolverine had made it back along with all of the students. That died away when Kyle heard of the two that didn't make it. He had only briefly known the two students. That sent a shock of how real it was to be here. He had made some serious mistakes and knew he had gone off the deep end. "Yeah.... Out of it. I'm glad most of them were able to get back. I'm sure Guardian and Elixir's sacrafice will always be remembered." Kyle kept walking along with Chase, his hand stuffed into his pockets like he was trying to hide his implants on the back of his hands.
As Chase kept talking about the team Kyle's eyes sparked up a bit. Hearing that Chase was the unofficial team captain had answered one question. Ember had been the Captain, so he could only assume she wasn't on the team anymore. She was much more talented, he knew that, and was probally the reason Kyle had acted the way he did all those weeks ago. She probally got promoted to one of the older teams. He was glad to hear that the team had grown and Chase was so excited about it. "That's great buddy. I'm sure you earned it. I can't wait to meet the team again." And Kyle meant it. He needed to be a part of something again. "We lost Katana? She was traded? Why what happened?" It was no secret he liked Katana, though she most likely moved on to one of the other guys here.
"So I'll meet the team at practice then. Sounds good. I could use some practice to get back into things." Kyle spoke softly, his voice didn't show to much interest, but he really was wanting to get back into it. To get his mind off recent events. "Well buddy, I'll have your back." He nodded to Chase and then kept walking. A whole bunch of thoughts of what's to come running through his mind.

Kyle wasn't the same, he looked like he was a shadow of his former self and there was something missing, it was aparent enough that Chase wasn't even atracted to him in the least anymore. He was just back from home and that attitude thing sometimes happened, maybe he was just homesick for good old mom's pb&j's or the pain meds he was probably on might have been messing him up. "Hey so you feelin OK? You were a mess when we got you back here, what they got you on? Percazaps? Oxychromedine M&M's? Huh - what?" he poked him a couple of times in his ribs and patted his pockets. "I know you got somethin, you gotta bring it out. Share the wealth my brother."
The two arriving at the door to the art class got Chase into his excited routine of coachin up Jumper. "Ok so we been gettin you squared away right? Follow my lead cause you are so gonna save me from a late slip and I do NOT want to wash any more dishes- ready?" he squared up his body and got ready to op[en the door, "Oh man Katana?" he said over his shoulder as an afterthought "I do not want to talk about that wackjob. Good riddance is what I say, she almost got you dead that night. 'We gatta walk in a slushy muddy ditch'." He said in a mocking tone as he reached for the door handle.

Walking along Kyle saw they were getting close to the class, he heard the question. "I'm OK I guess. It's just......." Kyle was about to say something and then he stopped and shook his head. Reaching up running his hand through his hair once again. "It's nothing. No, I'm not on any pills anymore. I got off them a while ago." He tried to pull a smile to his lips but it came out looking weak. He wasn't sure he was ready to meet up with some of the other students yet. Though he knew he had to get it over with.
Nodding to Chase's story. "Yea, I got it. you were helping me get settled back in. So who teaches the art class?" He asked with a slight tilt of his head, wondering what teacher he was going to see first, and what they would say to him. He hoped it wasn't Rogue, he wasn't ready to see her again yet. "Hey Chase, Crazy or not. Katana was still a friend and tried to be there for me too. And I know you were trying to look out for me." Kyle did appreciate his friends, the ones that he thought would still be here for him. "And Thanks." Was the last thing he said as he prepared to walk into the class.
