Seeking Help
One of the few benefits about being a shapechanger who was stuck in animal form was that Alex always traveled light. He didn't have to worry about clothes or toiletries or other stuff like that. Of course he'd still rather be able to take human form again for a lot of reasons. A certain purple girl was one of them.

Alex flew down to Xavier's in falcon form and landed just inside the gate. He would have preferred dragon for a long flight, but he didn't want to scare anyone. It was best not to ruffle the feathers of the natives when you showed up asking for help. Not to mention he didn't feel like getting into a fight over a misunderstanding.

He landed and shifted to orangutan. He would have used the gate buzzer, but not being able to talk made it a little difficult. Taking a deep breath, he made his way to the front door and then knocked.

	Someone else was taking advantage of the good weather and coming back after taking the bike for a fast run. Misha left the bike in the garage and walked up to the mansion while taking off the helmet. He was sweaty and sunk deep in his thoughts as he went around to the kitchen entrance.

	Alex heard someone approaching and opened an eye. //Hey.// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Misha paused and looked around. Okay, how did he miss the white tiger? While not totally clueless about the possibility of it being more than just a tiger, he wasn't up on telepathic communication with a shifter.

"Did you just say something?" he asked it. It was a beautiful creature. If he'd known it better, he might've offered to scratch its ears like he did with Danielle.

	Misha squatted down to have the conversation at the same level. "Yeah, I am. I'm a Wolverine brat. My brother and I met some Alpha Flight members last year. Were you there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The squatting was making his knees creak. Misha sat down on the ground. He put the helmet in his lap. "You shift into different animals. I remember a dog, and monkey, and dragon. Or I hallucinated the dragon." He shrugged a little. "I was drugged then. I heard from Dad that you guys do good work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	//Yes. You didn't hallucinate the dragon,// Alex said as he shifted into said dragon. He looked down at Misha. //Thanks. We try. Still wet behind the ears and getting our footing though.// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha looked up and sudden felt like somebody's afternoon snack, and not in a good way. "It's the only way to learn. I've been on the team since I graduated high school and I'm still learning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	//That's cool,// Alex said as he shifted into the beagle. //I just joined Alpha Flight right before we rescued you.// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha grinned as the dragon turned into a beagle. His eyes followed it down to the dog in front of him. "I grew up here in the mansion. They're good people. What brings you here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	//Thanks. I appreciate the offer. Uh, I have to ask. Who does the cooking around here? I can't exactly cook for myself.// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a rotating schedule to help out with the cooking for lunch and dinner. Everybody pitches in. A few cook in between meals because they like it. You just have to check the kitchen to see who's up and what they're doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'll be in good company. With some of the cooks, we're all begging when they start rattling the pots. Uncle Scott, Mr. Summers, will assign someone to make sure you're taken care of until you have your powers under control and can cook for yourself.

	Misha laughed. "That'll work. Anytime I'm heading into the village, feel free to catch a ride. The hamburger place is pretty good and I'm a frequent customer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Salem Center is a little more tolerant of the kids out here, even if we can't get a pizza delivered, but I get your meaning. If you ever feel like masquerading as a service animal, we can give it a try." He tilted his head as he envisioned it. "A service dragon might be hard to explain, though."
