Jumper had finally returned to his room after the meeting. He wasn't tired in any way. Pacing back and forth in front of his bed, a lot of thoughts running through his mind. It seemed he could not focus. The dy had been a very long one, and so much had happened. He was riding out his own emotional roller coaster.
He had practically begged Rogue to let him join the others in the danger Room. She had told him no. He wanted to prove himself. Prove he wasn't just some wise ass kid. Prove he could hold his own with the likes of the Hellions. Prove to Rogue, his team leader, he was worth working with. It more or less came from him wanting to prove to himself he wasn't just a screw up. But that was just the end of the day.
He mouthed off and disrespected Cyclops and Beast in the Med Lab. In front of Rogue no less. He had pushed and annoyed a couple of the fellow students. He had felt like he was going to die when he ran into Inflict. He just felt he was doing everything wrong. And to top it all off, those implants were itching. He looked to the one on his left hand as he scratched it. He probally should have told Beast everything while he was still here, in the Med Lab. But his stupid pride got in the way as usual.
Though he seemed to make a new friend in Chase. Even though he just met him tonight. Chase had stuck with him through everythign that happened. And even after he pissed Katana off, she had come back and called him friend as well. There was something about Katana that was a bit different. he couldn't place it. He just saw her different. He wanted to see her again. He thought of her as he reached to his temple and scratched around the implant there as well.
He looked at the back pack he had filled earlier when he was ready to run off and considered it again briefly, but shook the thought off. Walking back and forth still as he tried to concentrate and figure out what he should do next.

Coming back into the room they shared Chase smirked at Kyle. "Hey so you wanna drink some of this booze man? Or is it too late for you and you want to go to sleep?" He had gone to the bathroom and had steadied his nerves a little in there, not wanting to seem too flustered, and wanting to remain cool.
"So" he reached down behind the floor vent as he talked to the hiding place where he had hidden the bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, "what's it gonna be dude? Cause I hate to drink alone you know?" He pulled the bottle up out of it's hiding place and grinned at his roommate. "You got a problem if we don't have any glasses? I always say the alcohol kills the germs anyway, heh?" He held his hand ready to twist off the cap and offer Kyle some libations to chill his new friend's nerves.

Kyle looked to Chase as he pulled out the bottle. His brow raising as he considered the offer. Kyle was never one to drink, but at the same time he didn't want to seem like a little kid either. So throwing up his cocky smile he nodded and grabbed the bottle. OPening up and taking a deep drink. Having never tasted whiskey before he almost spit it out. Swallowing hard as his eyes bugged out, then gasping for breath. "Thats great stuff!" He lied as he was still trying to breath right again. Handing the bottle back to Chase.
He still paced but this time he turned away to hide the awful face he was making about the the whiskey taste. He was embarrased to look to Chase yet, and show him he never drank before. So Kyle kept pacing and looking down to the floor. Hoping the red in his face and cheeks would go away. "Drink up buddy!"

With a grin Chase watched Kyle drink. "Yeah it's awesome give it here." Chase took a long pull on the squared up bottle and smiled. "Mmmm burns good!" he said as he passed the bottle back to Kyle. "Is it hot in here?" he asked with a look at his friend.

Taking the bottle back, and taking a breath before tilting the bottle and taking a much smaller sip this time. The gasp still came out as it burned down his throat. He turned hearing the question and shrugged. "Nah, Im fine." Then walking over to the window and opening it up he looked out over the grounds. "There, let some air in." He looked to the bottle again and lifted it taking another small drink. He could only think this stuff was horrible, but he was drinking. And it was making him feel warm inside.
Kyle handed the bottle back to Chase. Then he reached to his arm and began scratching the implant there. He wasn't really thinking about it so much now, how the implants were starting to itch. He just pushed it off on all that recently happened to him. "So you think they will be able to get the other students back safely?" He sounded a bit concerned, someo of those that were missing he considered friends, even if they didn't think of him as such a good friend. Still staring out the window, he looked to the distance, knowing he could have been out and free, on his own if he had just ran when he had the chance.

"Thanks dude, hey." He saw his friend staring longingly at the grounds out the window and walked over slapping an arm across his back and grinned at him. "You ain't thinking of leaving still are you?" Chase reached over and grabbed the bottle from Kyle gently bringing it to his lips and taking a longish pull on the tea colored liquid and grimacing as the taste assaulted his tongue. "I'd miss the hell out of you man, come on and relax a little. It's been a weird week for you here? I only just got here myself not but a couple of days ago if that, ((who can tell anymore-Joking )) and it's been freaky." He held the bottle out for Kyle as he turned and leaned his butt on the windowsill.

Still leaning against the window and looking out over the grounds and towards the city.Reaching up and scratching the implant on his temple absently. He asked himself hat he was thinking. Was he still thinking of leaving. He was so confused. He wanted to stay and learn more, but felt he wasnt going to be able ot learn anything at the rate things were going. So much was happening around him, and he couldn't get involved. Even when he tried.
He had also started making friends that seemed to like him, for who he was, not for what he could do.Chase had stuck by his side when he was incapacitated by Inflict. And even now was still trying to calm him down and make sure he wasn't leaving.
Then there was Katana, she had stuck with him and even called him her friend. After how he treated her and pissed her off. She still came to his side as a friend. But Kyle saw something more there. He felt an attration that called to him that was far beyond what he had ever had as a friend.
Turning to face Chase and taking the bottle. He took another sip. Almost coughing it up. As he finished he handed the bottle back to Chase. "Yes I was thinking of leaving again. But I think I talked mself out of it. At leaset for tonight anyway." He said laughing a bit. " But I think I do need to get out of this room." He grinned wide as he started tinking up a way to get outside.

MEANWHILE...
Pushing her backpack, filled to almost bursting with the clothes she had quickly thrown inside before leaving her room, back over her left shoulder, she walked across the lawn trying to get back out to the road. She figured she could walk down to town and then swipe a car and get out of here. While the explosion had momentarily distracted her from her plan to leave this madhouse of a school, she was now ready to go again. She kind of wished Jumper would come with her. He made her feel a way she couldn't really describe. As she walked past the boys' dormitory she looked up at it trying to figure out which room was his. Outside he had that deer in the headlights look after the explosion so it kinda seemed he was as ready to bolt as she was. Not to mention, the teachers' complete lack of concern over Inflict and his gang which woulda been enough to confirm any one's fears.
With this in mind, she picked up a couple of rocks and threw them at the only lighted window on the dorm...the window, she figured, had to be Jumpers as everybody else was either missing, gone to rescue the missing, or down in the Danger Room doing crap knows what.

Taking back the bottle of whiskey he nodded to his buddy. "So, maybe a nice moonlight stroll?" he said with a wink, almost a come on line but not trying to come on to him, not so very much at least. "I guess nobody would notice if we snuck out for a walk everybody was looking pretty tired downsta-" Hearing a tap on the glass, Chase stopped talking abruptly.
"Wha-wuzzat?" His head whipped back to lookout the window as he raised a hand to the glass to take a good hard look outside. Holding the bottle low so that whoever was outside tapping on the glass couldn't see. "We're on the second floor, who here flies?" he asked.

Kyle blinked as he heard the tink of stone on glass while he was looking outside. Noticing Chase heard it as well, he opened the window and leaned out to see who was out there. It was cold out and it made him shiver a bit as he stared out and down. Squinting his eyes to see who it was out there. It took a bit, but he finally was able to make out a girl. And after his eyes adjusted more it became clear it was Katana. He was just thinking about her and now here she was.
Looking back over to Chase with a wide grin on his lips, and a mischevious look in his eyes. "I think it's time for a little trip outside. You think you are up to it?" As he leaned outside and called out to Katana.
"Hey you! What are you doing out there? Want some company?" Kyle asked as he really wanted to get out of this room and stretch. He was feeling pent up already. He turned and grabbed his pack he never unpacked. And moved back to the window looking to see if Katana was still there.

Seeing Jumper in the window, Katana's heart rose a bit in her chest. Funny feeling that. But there was somebody else in the window. Jumper's pesky new friend, what was his name? Chase, she thought. Great, she thought to herself, how the heck am I going to get him to come with me if that kid is hanging around him. Putting a smile on she yelled back to Jumper, "If you'll come down I'll tell you. Just you though...what I mean is I want to talk privately." As she spoke she adjusted her bag to her other shoulder and then she continued, "Look at me again and you'll know why I'm down here."

"Dude, that girl is hard up or somethin. She don't want me around? Heh, she can just stand out there in the snow for all I care. 'Sides we got the booze, right?" Chase said to Kyle low enough that Katana couldn't hear.
Then looking down out of the window at her he said "Hey, Catch!" and hocked a huge snotty loogie at her. The nasty mucus ball he had spat at her hurtled down right at her head until at the very last moment he used his mutant power to stop it dead in mid-air, like hitting a pause button it froze right above her. The alcohol was giving him license to act up and he didn't want to be cut out of anything concerning his friend Kyle. "Whassamatter girl you don't want me around? It's not like i'd spit on you or anything. I'm just playin."
He took another drink of the bottle before nudging his room mate in the arm and handing him the Jack Daniels bottle. Shaking his head at the idea that Katana would be able to come between the two friends Chase sniggered at the scene, as he saw it the girl was just trying too hard. Throwin stones at a window- who did that? What was this some bad movie from the eighties? Was she going to raise a big old radio over her head and play a song for him or some crap? he thought.

Kyle looked at how Chase was reacting towards Katana and was a bit confused. For one she was on thier team. And two he was just being plain rude. Kyle thought it might have been the booze making him act out like that. He cleared hsi throat a bit. "Dude? What is up with you? Why are you acting like that to her?" Kyle shook his head a bit. He could feel the warmth in his body from the booze. He was feeling a bit loose to. "Would you tell me to go away if I needed to talk?" Kyle asked with a raised brow, and ran his hand through his hair.
Turning back to the window and leaning out he noticed she had a pack as well. He wondered if thats what she meant by looking again. He thought about what he should do, and after how Chase had just acted he shrugged and slipped his pack over his shoulder again. Leaning out a bit more he called out lightly. "Alright, I'll be down in a minute, just need to grab my jacket." He was a bit concerned why she would be trying to leave, but in the end it meant that he he choose to go with her, he wouldn't be alone. He moved across the room and grabbed his jacket and slipped it on.
A confused look on Kyle's face met Chase. "I am going to see whats up with her. We have all been through a lot. And I will not let the few friends I have out in the cold." He hoped Chase understood that he cared about Katana. As a friend, maybe more.

"Whaaaat uuup man? S'no big deal I'm just messing around with her. The bigger question is why are you getting all misty on her? It's no secret you are a player, and I thought you were gonna give it up for a while to get your head on straight, weren't ya?" Chase asked his tone going from a bit of a whine to one of sincerity and concern.
"Kyle, relax a little on all this" he moved his arms around in mid air making like a billowy explosion "stuff." He walked over and helped Kyle to fix himself. "I know we've all been through a bunch of stuff and some more than others, but for real getting all drama on the situation won't fix it. I mean look at you, most people wear their jacket under their backpack. Here let me help you dude."
Chase unzipped Kyle's Jacket and helped him put his backpack on correctly. He smiled at him shaking his head slightly "You really are a mess you know, maybe I should go down with you." he took his time helping his buddy out and made sure that he was discreet about checking him out and the way he touched him. His mind however was another story. He kept thinking how he really had wanted to say 'go down on you', but he would play it cool for now.
"Gimmie a minute to pack a bag and I'll come too. What are friends for anyway, right?" he said quickly throwing some clothes and some hygiene stuff in a backpack of his own. "Alright, I'm ready" he said "thanks for waiting lets go. I'll hang out just inside and you can wave me out when you're ready. I don't know about splitting the school, but I don't think you should go alone or with just her. She just looks like trouble man and I care is all. We cool?"

Kyle was a bit eager to get outside and felt a bit embarrased as he slipped his jacket over his pack. he laughed a bit at himself and just shrugged as Chase tried talking to him. As Chase began trying to fix his clothes and stuff Kyle felt a bit odd and moved away from Chase. "I can fix myself buddy. Your acting like my mom!" He laughed again and finished fixing his clothes, then slipping his pack back on. He tilted his head as Chase packed his own bag as well. "Your really gonna come with us and leave this place?" As he asked he moved back to the window. "Hey Chase you can freeze stuff in place right? So if I jumped out the window you could freeze me before I hit the ground, then unfreeze me so I only fall like two feet? Dont wanna be running through the halls this late at night."
Kyle then leaned out the window and waved to Katana. The grin on his lips wide as he thought of getting out of here and finally being free to have some fun. "He knew she had asked for just him, but it would be better if there were the three of us. To look out for each other. Like a team should. "We'll be right down. Then we can talk." Kyle didn't know why but every time he looked at Katana now he saw her differently. It wasn't like when he was gawking at the other girls. He really wanted her to like him for some reason.
