Chase walked in to the Rings Restaurant with Kyle draped on him and Katana was somewhere close by he was sure. He wished she had waited at the bus stop, but he knew she was near because he could smell her. It was a distinctive mix of bad breath and ass, or was it ass and bad breath. It didn't matter really because the stink was undeniable, it must be what one smelled like when they come from 'The Streets'.
"Hey let's grab that booth over there." Chase said and walked them over to sit at a booth nearby the door, but in a few booths. It looked clean and the place was bright enough and there was some activity. There were a few of the locals in there, some in booths and a few at the counter. The waitress came right over and he said to her "I need some coffee, my friend here could use some orange juice I think, huh buddy?" he asked to Kyle as an after thought. "Oh and we'll need three menus, we got another person joining us, thanks."

As they all sat at the booth, Kyle shook his head at the offer for orange juice. "And a Black and White milkshake too!." He spoke out quickly and as the waitress headed away to get the drinks and menu's. He looked to Chase and Katana and repeated his thoughts so only they could hear. "I think we should head to New York. Its big and there are a lot of people and we could disappear there easy." Looking to Katana and Chase hoping that they would agree. Kyle really wanted to get away from the school.
As the waitress returned with the drinks and menu's Kyle almost downed the orange juice in one long drink. Then he scooped up the menu and started looking over the breakfast choices. His head popped up to Katana and he smiled a bit again. Reaching up and running his hand through his hair and then scratching at the implant on his temple. "So Leah, have you ever been to New York? I was there only once During New Years with my Parents. You think we could manage there?" He asked wanting to hear what she had to say. Knowing he would need her to help show him how to get along out there.

Katana was walking up to the booth behind the waitress when Chase ordered the coffee and orange juice. As the waitress turned away, she heard Kyle order the milkshake she had offered to get him. She smiled at the waitress and said, "I'm the third. Could you bring two straws with that milkshake and make it extra large. I'm buying."
With that she slid into a seat next to Kyle. As she sat down Kyle suggested New York and asked her if she had ever been. "I've been. It's OK. Good for now." She continued lying, "We'll be alright." That said, Katana took a sip of the shake and just tried to relax and enjoy the moment.

"You two are really" Chase searched for the next word he wanted to say, but the truth would be way too hard for the grotesque bone freak Katana to deal with. Kyle was cute, especially with all the little electro studs sticking out of him and the look of exhaustion on his face. "-umm, adorable there sharing that milkshake."
He looked up at the waitress as the woman stood waiting to take their orders. "A milkshake for breakfast, wow. I have to admit lady this place is something, I would have expected you to say something like 'we don't serve milkshakes for breakfast' but wow! And you brought it so quickly too, I bet you're gonna get a big tip from miss 'I'm buying' over there. She wears the pants you know." Chase sat back in the booth seat on the other side of Kyle unfolding his menu in front of his face to hide his grin. He couldn't understand why Katana had sat there next to Kyle on his other side, now all three of them were sitting at the same side of the table. That damn Katana was so possessive and jealous.
"Hey, Mr. Moneybags, can you sit on that other side there, three on a side man you are crowding us here." Chase said at Katana as he flared his elbows out and squirreled up his lips in a look he was perfecting. It was a mockery of Katana's face when she got very mad. Hey looked up at the waitress and said "Can I have the special ommlett, with bacon and toast. Please?" He smiled at her sweetly and started to stir the sugar into his coffee.

Alex looked at the last of his money and decided that soon he would be at the academy and he didn't know how the food there was so he decided to indulge. He entered the rings family restaurant, there was some locals and a group of people in a booth near the door .The staff looked at him and waited for him to take a seat.
He sat down and looked at the menu. His eyes sprung open when he saw the breakfast menu, it was so vast. "Can I take your order?" Alex looked up and saw the young waitress.
Alex said," Si, I'll have the Pile of Pancakes with sausages."
She scribbled down the order and said," Any thing to drink?"
He said, "Orange Juice, por favor."
"Anything else?" she asked
"Nope, gracias mi amor."
The food came and it looked delicious. The tender meat was juicy and the pancakes were perfect. Satisfied he paid and sat back down to wait. It was just about noon. Excitement was all that he could feel. He felt as if time couldn't move slower. He shook off the excitement and tried to relax. He looked around and looked at the other people. There was some locals and a peculiar bunch of kids in a booth near the door of the restaurant.
Noon came and past. 12:15 came and Alex got up nervous not knowing what to do. He begun to look for the directions Emma Frost sent him and he couldn't find it. He looked around to see if he had dropped it somewhere. Maybe I dropped it outside. He began leaving and when he past the three kids he tripped and fell on the floor hard.

"Chase," Katana said sharply, "why don't we give the sarcasm a break there, ok." Swallowing the pride that made her want to beat his ass in right there she continued even handedly, "We've all got to work together to get by so you and me fighting isn't going to help anything." Painfully aware that Chase was going to try to sock her with the bill for his food, which was far more than anybody else in the group was eating she added, "Also I'm paying for Kyle's milkshake, not your food so you splurge on your own dime. I promised him a milkshake, remember." She had wanted to take on, Call me Mister one more time and I'll break your knees, but she did NOT say it.
As the waitress left a young boy went sprawling to the floor. Katana caught a glimpse of him and he looked out of place. Maybe it was that reason her heart went out to him, so instead of laughing or turning away, she looked over concernedly and in an almost motherly way, asked him, "Are you alright? Didn't break anything there did you?"

Laid out on the floor Alex knew everybody was looking at him. He felt the eyes of the whole restaurant pried on his back. He anticipated laughter. He felt highly embarrassed and felt the feeling spread through his body just like in the alley. Then a soothing voice broke the trance Alex entered. He looked up and a girl was looking down at him. He sat down on the floor with his legs crossed and tied his long flowing red hair back. Alex looked up to the girl and gave a gentle smile. "I guess I'm Fine mi amor, thanks for asking. I just seemed to have lost something and I was looking for it when I fell."
Alex stood up kind and gave a short laugh at his blunder. He brushed the dust off and held his hand out, having yet noticed the blood that leaked from his forehead, to the caring girl. "Hi, yo soy Alex."

Kyle was not feeling himself and although the drinks helped he still was not right. "I'm hungry too, Katana would you order me something?" he said as he placed his head down on his arms and closed his eyes for a moment. Not even realizing there was a new kid there until he felt more like himself, which he was sure would be very soon........or at least it was hoped he'd be feeling like himself soon.

In the Car
Colossus took out the black SUV and together with Ripple, they drove the long ten miles to the bus station in town. The drive was filled with idle talk about general subjects ranging from tv shows to music, pleasant talk to pass the time. "You know, the Dazzler came to the school the other day, you should try and talk to her, she is a very nice and quite a lovely lady. I am sure she will give you an autograph," he told Ripple with a smile as he thought of his good friend.
Colossus pulled up to the bus station area and looked around. "Alright, I checked quickly the schedule on the message board, his name is Alejandro and he came all the way from Puerto Rico. Keep an eye out for someone who has a bag and looks out of place," he told Ripple as he looked for a parking spot and kept his eyes pealed for the new student.

Lian's eyes opened widely. "Really??! I LOVE her. She is so awesome and I can't wait for the movie," she replied with excitement. Lian was always a fan of the Dazzler although her preferred music was that of heavy metal rock, Dazzler was still rock and she "rocked" at it. Lian smiled, feeling pretty cool that THE Dazzler was at the mansion. She flicked her cigarette through the open window as she inhaled her last drag. Colossus was nice enough to her let her have just one since she had been deprived of it all day.
Once they reached the station, Lian listened to Colossus and nodded. "No prob," she said and began to scan the crowd of people around the area. She couldn't see anyone who looked like they were Hispanic. "Might be inside," she said plainly and waited for her professor to park the car.

"Hi I'm Leah," Katana said to the new boy at the same time as she flagged the waitress. Before the waitress could come over she continued, "That's a big bag you have there. What brings you to town?" She could guess that he was coming to the school which meant that there might be somebody coming to pick them up. She turned from the boy, which was rude as she had just asked him a question, and motioned to Chase to lean in so that she could whisper to him and Jumper quietly, "He's probably going to the school. We need to get out of here. There are some wrapped sandwiches, all ready to go in the case in the front. What say we grab some and go out the back door?"

"Huh? What are you a retard or something?" Chase had had about enough of this butchy dyke Katana to fill a lifetime and a half and he had only been hanging with her for one night. "Some kid falls on his face, oh hi by the way kid" he said to the bloody headed boy "and you jump to some freaky conclusions? What's up with you and this lump sitting next to me?"
"Hey" he said talking to the boy with the bloody head "hey there, you. Uh, 'Soyalex'? 'Hiyo' to you too. What is the deal anyway? You savvy English? You going to the school over there?" Chase asked. He didn't know how or why Katana would think that the dishwasher from the back of the restaurant would be a reason to steal a bunch of sandwiches and beat feet out of there, so he wanted to get to the bottom of all of this.
"You are one crazy ass bitch Katana, you know that? What is your damage anyway?" Chase caught site, out of the corner of his eye, of some of the patrons in the back of the establishment getting up out of their seats to come over. Whispering he said "Now lookit what you've done. Talk more about stealing and the school why dontcha?" he said getting angry at her and pointing a finger into her face.

"Chase, the sandwiches in the case are there for take out. You know when people go up to the counter, next to the nice case, and pay the nice lady and they get to take the sandwiches. You understand now, powder puff?" As she glared at him the waitress came back to the table and asked what they wanted. "A check," she replied. "And we'll get three of those sandwiches from the case...can I pay for them with the main check or only up at the counter?"

Colossus found a spot in front of a busy diner and pulled into the parking spot. "That is a good idea, it is very cold outside so I am sure he came inside to escape the cold," he said and turned off the ignition, getting out of the car. Colossus opened the door for Ripple and then locked the car. "The station house doesn't look too crowded. Here I have a sign with his name on it, in case he sees us before we see him," he said and handed Ripple the sign so she could hold it up.
They looked through the station, and didn't find any boy that looked young enough to be one of the students. Colossus stood at the bus stop and spotted a busy diner. "I suppose he may be hungry after such a long trip. Perhaps he stepped in for a bite to eat. Come on Ripple let us see inside the diner," Colossus said and walked with the young girl inside the diner. He stood by the door, and looked around at the diner, that seemed a bit busy since it was the lunch hour. "Do you see him Ripple? Hold up the sign," he said and looked around the restaurant.
His eyes stopped at a both right by him and his eyes widened. "Kat- I mean Leah?"he said in shock. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?" Colossus asked gently, though he was strict he always took a gentle approach with students who all had their share of troubles, no matter what team they were on.

Weary of the question Alex thought it through before answering. Ms. Frost said that there are people who don't like people like me so I guess I should just not say the whole truth. "Well nice to meet you Leah, and I'm here in the states because I lost my memory and there is place where they said they can help me." The girl Leah had turned her head before Alex finished talking. She whispered with her friends. Alex tried to listen but to no avail.
He felt a warm liquid run down his face and he wiped with his arm. Alex looked at what he wiped and it was blood. He picked up one of the napkins from the table to wipe off the blood. That's when the kid with the orange hair begun to speak and said something that offended Alex. Alex tried to keep a level and replied, "Yes I understand English pendejo, oh and look I speak it too." said Alex in the most sarcastic way he could think of, "And no, I am not going to the school if you was paying attention, " Then the kid with the orange hair blew up at Leah trying to keep his voice down but his anger betrayed him.
There seemed to be a lot of tension in this little group so Alex decided to make a get away. He turned and the door to the restaurant opened and a huge man and a young girl holding a sign came in. He looked at the booth and looked at Leah and said something to her. Alex looked at the girls sign and it had his name on it. He looked up to the big man and asked, "Are you Senior Summers?"
