"You're doing great Leah! Just make sure to wheel it out and dump it in that pile when you're done! Thanks a lot!" Sean said beaming at her while leaving her to the work. "Hey Lian since you're done with the feed room we got all them boxes of feed that we need to bring in. How about I bring them in and you stack them? I'll go grab them now." Sean went out of the stables, past the wrestling couple that earned a smile from him and past Alex with his head held high. He wasn't going to apologize for what he said and he felt that everything said was well deserved, especially since Alex never even tried to make amends with Lurai.
He went outside and grabbed a cart that was full of bags and boxes of feed. With a grunt, he pushed it inside, wheeling it carefully, and stopping once in awhile to pick up a box that fell off. Sean was glad that the work in the stables was going quickly. Jasper looked like he finished more than his share of stalls and Ana looked like she cleaned the entire tack room. The hayloft would be one of the last things that needed work, because there was still a lot of bales of hay outside.
"C'mon everyone we don't have that much to go! Gavin as long as your here it couldn't kill ya to help either," Sean said with a slight laugh as he wheeled the feed cart to Lian. "Alright Lian we got some stacking to do, and a lot of it. Come on we can probably finish this today at this rate," he encouraged while picking up the bags and putting them in a neat line along the wall. He was excited to get this finished and liked how it was looking.

With a powerful sweep of his wings, Gavin made a cloud of dirt fly into Heather's face from his position on the ground. "That's what you get for not minding the wings," he yelled and stood up to make Heather fall off of him. He laughed and pulled her to her feet, coughing from the cloud of dirt. "Whoa I didn't know I was dating a hobo," he joked when he saw how dirty she was and how her pale peachy skin was covered in dirt. "Jesus Heather have you ever heard of a bath? Seriously woman start taking care of yourself." Gavin was cracking up at the look on her face, it was just too funny for him to bear.
It was then when he caught the look Sean gave him from the feed room. "OH NO! It's the stable police! Hide!" he yelled in a girly voice and grabbed Heather to pull her into another stall. "We must hide! Quick you need a disguise!" Gavin grabbed the recently cleaned feed bucket on the door and put it on her head. "Perfect, now but a really ditzy look on your face... yea that's perfect!" he cried even though she had a normal look on her face. At this point Gavin was close in tears of laughter at this whole thing.
He held his stomach laughing for a minute, leaning against the stall door for support. "Oh man I need a picture of this now," he managed to say between laughter. It took him a minute to catch his breath and look at her without bursting into laughter. "Aw c'mere," Gavin said reaching out and taking her hand to pull her to him. He looked down at her dirt streaked face and bucket on her head and grinned down at her. "Hey," he said and tipped her head up, leaning down to kiss her.

Kat stood next to Kitty, her arms crossed over her chest and an amused smirk on her face. Standing next to her, she realized they were about the same height, so when she turned to look at her their eyes were level. She grinned at her when she tilted her head towards all the guys heading off to do their work. "This ought to be entertainin' to watch, eh? Some uh, sweat gatherin' round after some work in the sun?" she asked, her smirk turning mischievous as she gave her a small nudge. "And don't ye worry bout Riker, I know what he be like, and I'll soon as happily whip 'im into shape that be sure to teach him a lesson on how to behave," she said in a low voice, her smirk deepening as she wondered which context the teacher was thinking of while she took in what she said.
"Oh, and ye can borrow the amazin' name of Cap'n Silver for yer mate there with the Mini-giant. As long as ye give me the credit I be deservin' of, use it all ye like me fellow feline," she said, grinning as she had turned from looking at the guys to Kitty again. Her head tilted curiously as she had heard Riker speak about dealing with someone deserving something. "Who be Riker talkin' about? Deservin' something? I know he roughed someone up....who was it now, the funny looking one with the odd little button," she said, trying to remember if she learned his name. Kat couldn't remember if she heard a name or not, so she came up with one of her own like she always did. "Right, erm, let's just say the Orc?" she said with a careless shrug before going on. "What be happenin' with him?" she asked curiously, wondering how such treachery of a teammate could be condoned so.

Lian bursted out in laughter, not able to contain how funny and great everything in her life was turning out to be. Besides the fact that she was currently in the process of carrying out her punishment and had dish washing duty for the week, Katana was being a suitable origin of amusement. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuh DUH!" Lian said again with her retard impersonation. "That is called dust dude. C'mon say it with me. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuust." Smirking and chuckling while not bothering to hide it one bit.
God you make it too easy man, she thought as she decided to help Sean with the remainder of the chores. She didn't really mind the idea of stacking the bags of feed against the wall. It was the fact that they would be able to finish their work early that caught her attention. Without hesitation she headed to Sean and the cart. "Get a freaking room!" she joked with the aggressive couple as she passed them. She tied her thick hair back and started getting to work.
Rubbing her hands together, Lian said "OK" and grabbed the two ends of the first bag. Picking it up quickly, knowing to use her arms and legs only, the weight was a bit heavier than she suspected. "Ohmygodjesuschristfreakingkillme," she grunted as she placed the bag on top of one that Sean just placed. She really needed to workout more.

Eyes narrowed and fists clenched, Heather looked Gavin dead in the eye and nudged her head away from his grip. He knew how to bother her and make it bad to the point of her wanting to throw the entire lake at him at once. However she had her ways of getting him back, even though they weren't as creative or well planned as Gavin's. She snatched the bucket and aggressively placed it back from where it originally was. With a smirk she decided to get back at him and what was better than to use her own power.
"Well if you're dating a hobo then what does that say about you?" she asked as she backed away from him and out of the stall. She then turned away from Gavin and went to get the fresh water. She was dirty anyway and dirty girls needed to be cleaned. More importantly, dirty boys needed to be punished. Lucky for Heather, she was wearing a white t-shirt.
Heather turned on the water and bent over, making sure that Gavin could get a good look. She wet her hair and got as much dirt out as she could. Then in one sweeping motion threw her head back, causing the water to trickle down her back. She looked back to Gavin and gave him a deceptive innocent smile. "Well you got me all dirty," she commented while batting her eyelashes. She then used her powers, making sure that her guy couldn't see, and brought the stream of fresh water over to her chest. It was pretty cold and make her jump slightly. But it worked perfectly with her plan.
"Oh God that's cold! Oh no!" she said as she turned around to face him. "I'm soaked, look at what you made me do!" She looked at him innocently again and smirked. Ha, she thought victoriously. She basically looked like a chick at a wet t-shirt party and since her build made her look even better when wet, she hoped her new found confidence wasn't making her look like an idiot.
Two months ago, Heather would have never done this. She wasn't exactly prude but she wasn't one to be joking around in a sexual way either. Currently she was still "proper" if that was the correct word. However she definitely lightened up compared to how she use to be. Plus now that she and Gavin were dating, it gave her the ability to abuse him in any way possible; he didn't seem to be holding back at all so she didn't see a reason to either.

The first thing that Kitty noticed was Alex making his way out of the stables, looking very shaken. "You guys go on without me, I have to take care of something. Riker," she looked over at her Alpha wolf with a stern look on her face. "You are not to leave unless Pete gives you permission for any reason, and that's an order." She held his stare for a moment longer before jogging over to the stables, getting closer to Alex. "Oh Alex your wrist!" Kitty said with wide eyes when she caught sight of him cradling his wrist. "Wait right here okay? I'll be right back."
Kitty ran into the stables to the area by the tack room, grabbing the first aid kit and running past the others, nearly colliding into Sean's cart, but phased through it in time. "Ok! Come on Alex, take a walk with me to the to the paddock back there and I'll fix up your wrist for now and you can have Dr. McCoy look at it and fix you right up," she said taking his arm and leading him to the training paddock, on the opposite side of the grazing paddock where the others were working. It was time that Kitty had a true heart to heart with Chupacabra. She had taken him aside to talk to him before, but Kitty found that it was usually better to leave it up to the kids to find their place without her holding their hands through it all. In this case however, it was obvious that she needed to take another approach with Alex, because things had gone far enough and she feared the worse at this point, Kitty had a good handle on her team, but she did worry about Riker and Lurai sometimes. Wolverine explained to her that though the wolf part of them is a mutation, because of the way they were raised makes them first and foremost wild animals, and the instinct was prone to take over.
They didn't speak till they got to the paddock. "Okay, hand me your wrist, easy there," she said in a gentle voice while taking his injured wrist carefully. Balancing the first aid kit on the post of the fence, she opened it and took out a wrap. "I'm just going to wrap it for now and put a splint on it. Beast will do it better for you later okay?" Kitty looked up at him and smiled as she wrapped his wrist carefully to set it right. The she took the two long flat wooden boards from the kit and securing one on either side of his wrist while wrapping it tight. She focused on her task, watching her work the whole time. "You had a rough couple of days huh?" Kitty said quietly as she tucked the last of the wrap with the metal pins to secure it. "I'm sorry Alex, I see now I should have stepped in earlier and helped you when you were struggling. I admit that I was hopeful you might assimilate into the team better with enough time, but I realize that it doesn't always work that way with everyone."
Kitty leaned against the fence, smiling at him as she let go of his now set and wrapped wrist. "There you go, that should hold you for a bit," she said admiring her handy work. "Now I want to talk to you about what's going on with you and the rest of our team. It hurts me that things aren't working out well. With the incidents the past two days its obvious that its not going to change." Kitty sighed and gave Alex a grim smile. "I want to know what your side of everything that's going on is. I already know Riker, Lurai's, and the rest of the team's side, and what I want to know is what you think of the whole thing." Her smile became encouraging as she looked up at the troubled young boy. "Anything that's said between us will stay that way, I promise. I just want to help and the best way I can is to know everyone's point of view," she said gently to let him know that she was someone he could confide in, especially since she never gave him a reason not to trust her.

Alex began to hyperventilate. Between the pain and the emotions it was a lot for Alex to take. Was this really how he felt or was he remembering the feelings. His mind wasn't on that topic long. He saw Ms. Pryde. She ran toward him and expressed concern. For some reason it calmed him down immediately. He like Ms. Pryde and was extremely grateful that she had come when she did. Another minute and only God knows what would have happened. I felt like falling apart. why? Alex didn't have much understanding of his feelings.
She returned with a red box and grabbed his good arm and led him away from the stables. As they walked away Alex felt the emotions slowly wearing off.She eventually led him to a fence where she worked at his wrist. He just nodded when she told gave him instructions. He winced a couple of times as she worked on his wrist. When she was finishing up Alex sighed in relief. He felt much better, not physically though. She continued to ask about his day and Alex sharply exhaled out of his nose and thought, Tell me about it! She then apologized and Alex felt a small pang of guilt when she realized that she was counting on him to fit in. He did partially know that it was his fault for going about things the wrong way. The road he took was not the way to attain power smartly. Now he was trying to play the game in a more witty way.
She let go of his wrist and leaned against the fence. Alex followed suit and put his back to the fence and his good hand under the other arm. He looked at Ms. Pryde when she spoke. Her worry made Alex felt cared for. And her smile made Alex feel secured. I guess she could phase through more than solid objects. Alex thought for a second before speaking. He looked away from her and up at the trees and the leaves that were beginning to grow. It was a sight to behold. It was truly his first spring. He though it was beautiful. To be bare in the winter just to grow in the spring. He was growing and he could feel it. Something was changing inside of him. It was like a spring for himself.
"Ms. Pryde. Thank you for the wrist," he sighed," Um, where to start. Well firstly I recognized I was in the wrong but I felt that I wasn't the only one. But it is true I let my anger get the best of me from time to time but it has always been difficult for me ever since I woke up alone in Puerto Rico with no recollection of my past. And I've always felt lonely. Siempre. And I guess I tried too hard to fit in and was treated like a runt and I guess that's where it started. I didn't like being treated like trash. I felt that we are all people and have equal say in matters. Also it started with my fear of my powers. I can't control them. It scares me that I might hurt someone. And that was why I was provoked and I fell for it and loss control. I never meant to hurt her. Never would I hurt someone perversely. If I knew what I was doing I wouldn't've attacked Lurai. I wanted to say sorry to her but I'm afraid now because I don't know what'll happen between her and Riker. And with Riker I approached him and apologized and tried to make amends and he just said to show it instead and I intend to show everyone that I'm better then I acted. Right now I think I just want help with controlling my emotions and my powers. Then I think I can help the team efficiently. Sorry for talking your ear off Ms. Pryde." Alex felt the release from talking. It felt good to let the stuff off his mind. He just weakly smiled at the fact.

Gavin stopped for a moment and took a step back, getting a nice big eyeful. In truth he was impressed that she was willing to risk giving all the other guys an eyeful like that, but he wasn't going to complain. He didn't say anything for a moment and just stared openly, eyes zeroed in on her chest. Just as quickly as he started, he stopped and screamed, "AAAHHHH RAPE! RAPE! SOMEONE HELP!" Gavin yelled and backed up in the stall, beating on the wall just cause he cause he was willing to bug her all the more.
"SHE'S GOT ME ALONE AND SHE'S TRYING TO SEDUCE ME!" He wailed in a frightened voice. "HELP! SHE'S TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY RAGING HORMONES!" Gavin was having a blast now screaming his head off, especially since he saw Kitty whiz by just a moment ago. He had a nice fill of looking, but had yet to sate the need to bother and embarrass Heather. Plus this was too funny of an opportunity to pass up.
"OH GOD SHE'S BLOCKING THE DOOR! AHH NOOOOOO I'M TOO YOUNG! SAFE WORD SAFE WORD!" Gavin yelled, his acting coming out in full bloom with his terrified voice. He clawed and banged on the wall again just for effect with a terrified look on his face before he just couldn't take it anymore and collapsed on the ground laughing. "Ahahahahhahahaa, oh man, ahahahaha that was ahhahahahhah amazing!" he laughed holding his stomach.

Lurai was drawn to the stables by all the smells her sharp nose could pick out and all the different voices her ears could catch, so after her run she started walking on just her feet to go see what was going on. She could see that Riker was busy working on a fence like he used to when they were back home. She was tempted to go bother her twin, but she decided not to since there were always plenty of opportunities to, besides, seeing him working with Ian under the watchful eye of Colossus, she decided against it…this time. She could be mischievous when she wanted, but this time she’d let him slide.
There was a bunch of other people around the stables themselves, and she could discern all of the different scents of the students from the smells of the stables being clean, but the piercing scream of rape caught her attention. Her interest piqued, she went over to the stall where Gavin was laughing and she figured it was probably just a joke, however she couldn’t resist feeding into it a little. She had learned the difference over time about whether it was real or not, and it helped her not seem so odd to the rest of the students. It helped, of course, that she had her team to help make sure she got what was a joke and what wasn’t.
She poked her head around the side of the stable, her ears twitching as looked in to see Gavin laughing his head off and Heather with a wet shirt. “Rape? Attempted rape? Surely not? That would be something Riker might do, but you Heather? You surprise me,” she said before lifting a hand to point at her wet shirt. “Your shirt is wet. You should get a dry one,” she suggested before referring to a line she had read in a book that gave her an example of what it was like to flirt, or be funny about flirting, “Gavin should give you his, and we would all benefit from it. But you most of all, I suppose,” she said, a toothy grin coming on her face, revealing her sharp, shiny white teeth as she attempted to join in the flirty banter she heard everyone using.

Piotr looked back at Kitty in time to see her leading Chupacabra away. He knew it had been on her mind and was glad that it would get done. Looking back at his own kids, he knew to get right to work. "Alright everyone we have much to do. Kat," he turned to look at the spirited Goth girl. "Would you work the lawnmower? I ask because you are the smallest and it will be easier for you to fit in the seat," he said pushing the lawnmower over to her. "I took the key too, and the controls are simple. Start from the middle of the paddock and work your way in a circle around. Use the setting to only trim the grass to a medium length, the horses need something to graze upon." Piotr held out the little key that dangled from a plastic key chain. "This is to start the ignition, please be careful," he said giving her a knowing look.
He then turned to the two boys and looked at the hammers, nails, and pile of wooden boards. "As for you two, you will help me with mending this fence. It will not be easy, and it will require a good deal of patience." Piotr picked up a hammer and some nails and walked over to where Ian had started repairing the fence. "Both of you are here in part because you lost your patience with someone, and what you both need to do is learn patience. To make a sturdy fence, you must level the wooden boards, make sure they are set in nice and strong. It will take a lot of time and you must make sure you do it right." He straightened the board that Ian was nailing and made sure it was solid before he stood up.
"I hope that you take the lessons that come with something as simple as building a fence and learn to apply it to your life. To accomplish anything, be it a confrontation with a rival or you must look at it from all angles before you decide to act. Otherwise it will take much more work to get everything right again," Piotr said to the two boys with raging tempers. "Now lets get to work and make sure these horses have a nice home." He picked up some boards and went to another part of the fence, getting right to work.

"Don't be sorry Alex, I'm glad your talking to me, it's giving me a better understanding of this little conflict within our team, or 'pack' rather," Kitty said with an encouraging smile. She didn't want their to be bad blood in her own team. In a way she sympathized with Chupacabra, knowing what its like to be the odd one out on the team. She was the youngest X-Men ever, and in the beginning it drove her crazy how everyone just saw her as a burden or a little kid who couldn't take care of herself. It wasn't until Wolverine took her under his wing that she became more assertive and independent. Before that she had attached herself to Storm, who mothered her more than anything else. It was Wolverine who gave her that push she needed to grow. Perhaps with some work, she could give Alex that push he needed to grow into his own person.
"Okay, so let's figure this out then. I know it's been hard because of how our team works and perhaps that's my fault because I didn't explain it enough to you when it's obvious you don't understand it," Kitty began and decided then and there that she needed to start from scratch with Alex and lead him with small steps. "It was my decision based on the personalities of your team members that I made the decision to form our team into a pack of a sort. Riker has a dominant personality but an incredibly strong sense of loyalty to family, as does Lurai and I found others felt the same way. If you look carefully, everyone on the New Mutants is very family oriented. Some, like you, don't have any other family, so they hold our pack very close. Others have a family but need that sense of family to function right. Based on that, I found that the best way to form our team is as a wolf pack you could say. I know I explained it before, but bear with me as I go into detail for your benefit so you understand it better." She smiled at him again and spoke to him in calm and sweet tones, wanting him to fully understand so he could maybe better fit in with the team.
"Yes Riker does act as the Alpha with my permission, but it is not just for his benefit, it's for everyone's as well. He knows how to lead by deciding solely what's best for everyone as a whole, and that's something innate for him. Its what a team like ours need though, even you. I know you aren't on the best of terms right now, but know that no matter what, he would defend you to the fullest against any outsider. The reason I think terms are rocky is because he doesn't feel that you are pulling your weight the way everyone else is. Let's face it though," Kitty said with a raised eyebrow, leveling with him now. "You have refused to try to go with the team's flow since you came here. That's the only reason that they don't treat you with the respect that you feel you should be treated by. Now you have never given me any disrespect, and for that you get mine. You need to apply that to our pack though. The way a pack works, and please remember it was my decision to treat it as such, is that everyone has a certain duty to the others and an obligation to the pack as a whole. Though I don't always agree with his methods, everything Riker does is always for the good of the pack. He will never do anything that would threaten our pack, and he would do anything for anyone within it. Lurai, yes I know she's a little hard to handle, but she has a good heart. Even though shes a little more wild than Riker, she understands basic human nature much better than before."
A slight sigh left Kitty as her hands moved back on the fence posts, hoisting herself up to sit on the top post, making her just a little taller than the boy now. "I know you feel that you aren't given respect as others are, but Alex look at how everyone else treats each other. They care and respect each other and each make that extra effort to put their differences aside and realize that in this school, they are all they have. And just look how different they are! Very few of them even have the same group of friends, yet in the end they are all there for each other. That's what I love about our little pack more than anything! Its amazing for me to see how all these kids with different backgrounds, different experiences, manage to get along so well and look at each other as a family!" Her eyes shined just like they always did when she spoke of her team, the care for them evident in her passionate and caring tone. "Alex, we would all love for you to be apart of our little pack, but we can't do all the work. You need to do your part to and show all the New Mutants that you do want to be apart of them!" Kitty beamed at him, not wanting him to think it was too late to change things.
"And as for your emotions, you can control them, with maybe a little help. What you need to do is channel them, channel your anger, your sadness, your happiness. You need to remember that its all about mind over matter. When you let yourself get angry or sad or anything, its how problems start. Yes I know sometimes you can't help it, I've been told more than once that I have a nasty temper," she said with a small giggle. "But I always have that little voice in the back of my head that if I grab it, I get back that control. You need to start doing that too." She stopped for a moment as a thoughtful look came over her face, taking a moment to think. "How about this, from now on a couple of nights a week, starting tonight, I will work with you to channel those emotions and give you some control. I'll teach you the forms of Kung Fu, and with that mindset you will learn how to get control through the movements and mentality that Kung Fu embodies. How does that sound?" Kitty asked eagerly, very much liking the conclusion it came to after talking to him.

Alex got more comfortable on the fence as his team leader spoke. What she was saying was seeping in to Alex. She had succeeded in lowering his defenses and and It allowed him to take in everything she was saying. He nodded when he was supposed to and allowed her to speak not once interrupting. She made Alex think about his team now. He never once took the time to really comprehend the why. He really looked at the way everyone treated each other on the team. He wanted to be apart of that but he knew he had gone about it the totally wrong way. And even the way he was going about it now might still be the wrong way. Was it possible to share a bond with people like he did with Leah. Alex thought he just got lucky with Leah and that it was a matter of circumstances. Alex felt he still had a lot to learn.
She continued about the pack but the way she said it made Alex feel that they were talking about a totally different thing. He listened to her reasons for putting Riker as leader and for a second he was going to be opinionated but decided to give his team leader the respect she deserved. She continued talking about respect and why he wasn't respected. She said he had to apply that to the team. He nodded and really felt her words taking affect. She made him feel open minded. She went on about how amazing the pack was because of how everyone got along and how she wanted him to be a part of it. She made him want to try. To try his best and not let her down. He wanted to try it her way and not his own. His own ways got him into this mess and now he felt he was given a way to get out of the mess. He didn't want to go against the grain anymore.
She made Alex pay extra attention when she was talking about emotions. He was nodding when she talked about his emotions getting him in trouble and he knew that all too well. He laughed along with her when she mentioned her bad temper. Then it got serious. She told him to grab the voice in the back of his head to gain control. Then the next thing she said made him excited. She was going to teach him Kung Fu and teach him control through that. He almost jumped off the fence.
"Are you serious? That would be awesome! I would love to! Oh man I can't wait. When do we meet up for this and where?" He said sounding like a kid getting something from the toy store. He forgot most of his worries at this moment. He forgot what he was mad about a few moments ago.

Her eyes were narrowed more than ever, and the "cute" look was the last thing she wanted to show Gavin. Gavin had won this round for now and Heather wasn't happy about it. Even if he did like what he saw, he was able to bother her and resist her "charm". Sometimes I wish I had Veronika's ability, she thought while shaking her head. Their entire method of "who can piss the other one most" was humorous to everyone but Heather at the moment. She had the desire to punch Gavin square in the gut, but she allowed her annoyance to subside.
Looking at Lurai she giggled and then easily removed all the water from her clothing and hair. The water levitated and collected itself into a ball. "Oh Lurai," she teased with a smirk. "Want to get a bath!?" She knew that cats didn't like getting wet unless they did it themselves, but Lurai was part wolf. However Heather wasn't sure when it came to Lurai and she had a feeling it was the same idea as a feline not liking to get wet unless they wanted to. Having all the fur wet did pack some extra pounds and had the ability to make someone uncomfortable.
Without waiting for Lurai or Gavin to react, she divided the one ball of water into two; one levitating over each hand. She smirked and threw the first to Gavin, making sure it hit his face. The second was thrown at Lurai, rather than to actually hit her. Heather was focusing more on getting back at her guy than her friend. In the New Mutant's eyes, Gavin couldn't win.

Oh, Riker bloody owes me later, Kat thought as she had taken the key from Colossus with a bow and a salute, walking to where he had pushed the lawnmower. She climbed up and looked at the different settings on it to see which ones she'd have to switch around. Putting the key into the ignition and turning the mower on she moved it to where she was told she should start before changing the settings on certain buttons and switches. Once she took care of the ones that looked like they would do for her what she was asked of, she made it start trimming the grass, medium length like she was supposed to.
She was watching the boys for a moment before remembering she needed to start the curve of a circle, forgetting herself a moment and jerking the wheel sharply. It caused her to jerk as well, and it was a well earned squeal as she looked around with big, innocent looking blue eyes to make sure no one saw that before focusing on her task. Taking hold of the wheel with one finger, she focused on the green grass ahead of her that still needed a good trimming. She kept curving the cut along where she should have been while she then called out to Colossus. "Hey Cap'n Silver! Be I doin' it right so far?" she asked, risking the quickest glance back to where he stood to make sure he heard her.

Kitty beamed at the enthusiasm from Alex on her suggestion, glad to be the one to give him a new start and a chance to better understand his power. "Hmm... how about we start tomorrow morning instead? We'll wake up nice and early, and get out to the hedge before anyone can bother us. I'll teach you the forms for all the animals you can change into, as a way to channel that animal and get control of your emotions," she said brightly and hopped down from the fence.
"I'm glad you're excited for this, I am too! This is going to be a new start for you, I promise. I'll work with you and we'll get this power of yours under control. And everyone deserves a fresh start, and you're no exception, but you need to meet me halfway okay?" Kitty said looking up at him with a beaming smile. She reached out and hugged him quickly, just out of excitement for the new start.
"So tomorrow at seven, we'll meet up at the start of the hedge okay?" She asked excitedly letting him go and grinning at him. "For today though, take it easy and enjoy yourself! We have the spring cookout in a couple of hours and you can use it as a time to apologize and maybe make amends?" Kitty suggested the idea with a slight shrug, encouraging it, but not wanting to force him. "Now let's go, I'll help you out with your punishment since you're hurt. Afterwards though, go straight to Beast. That's an order." She winked at him and took his arm gently to lead him into the stables to help him finish his work.
