Coming Home
Alex was tired. He hadn't been on a long distance flight in some time and by the time he reached Alpha Flight's headquarters he was exhausted. He wanted to collapse on his bed and pass out, but there was someone he had to see first.

He smiled at the thought of seeing Mel. Alex had missed her a lot and had been looking forward to seeing her again. Emails and phone calls didn't take the place of actually seeing someone and talking to them face to face. Now he could do that for two hours before he had to change back into an animal form.

Alex went through the building looking for Mel.

	The scent of almond meringue wafts through the halls from the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Alex smiled and followed the scent. He entered the kitchen and smiled when he saw her. "That smells really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Mel smiles, walks quickly over, and hugs. "Alex!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Alex smiled and returned the hug and lifted her up off of her feet as he did. "Hi!" He set her back on her feet and released her. "It's good to see you again and it's good to be home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"It's good to have you back. Did you hear about the weird thing that happened recently?" She looks him over and blushes just a little. "Looks like they really helped you practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's good to be back," he said. "I did. I saw it on the news. Do we know who was behind it?"

He smiled when she blushed. He liked it when she blushed because she turned a pretty shade of purple. He blushed a little over the look she gave him.

"I'm up to two hours," he said with some amount of pride. He had spent the last few months not doing much outside of practicing.

	"No, not yet." "That's great!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"We will find out," he said. He smiled and blushed a little. "Thanks. I've worked really hard to get to this point." He nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "I...um...wouldliketotakeyououtsometime...you know now that I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Mel turned deeply burgundy. "Thatcouldbenice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 04:42 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," he agreed. "We'll go out some time soon." "So, was I mistaken, but did I smell some of your excellent baking?" he asked changing the subject to not embarrass her further. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 04:48 am UTC (link)
	She smiled again. "Yes. Almond meringues. They should be just about finished setting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Alex smiled. "They smell wonderful. Is there anything else going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"If there is, I haven't heard." And Mel will serve up those meringues now, and go to the fridge to pour two glasses of milk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Alex smiled at her when she placed the meringues in front of him. "Thank you. You're the best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Aw, thanks" And Mel squeezed his hand a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-15 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Alex squeezed her hand in return. "I've missed you. The others too, but...." Rambling. Sure sign of nervousness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-15 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Mel just makes a little affirming 'mm-hm.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-16 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Right. Food. Eating meant he didn't have to talk and embarrass himself further. Alex happily ate some of the meringues. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"Does it taste different, when you're human?" Mel asks quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-16 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"It does. Animals senses are different. It depends on the animal, but some are better and some are worse. Human senses seem dull most of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. That makes sense." Pause. "You still like them, though, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-16 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"Of course! They're still great no matter what form I'm in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Mel smiled. "Thanks." And she'll sit her chair a little closer beside his. Just because. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I got to see the Statue of Liberty while I was there," he said. "It was pretty neat. I flew around it a few times when I took Ellie Rasputin for a ride. I'd like to take you to see it sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"That could be nice. Grandma Killgrave lived in New York a while before Mom was born, but I haven't really been. Sounds like fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-16 04:22 am UTC (link)
	He smiled. "Yes. It does. If you want, I could also introduce you to the X-Men. They're all wicked nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	Another smile. "K. That could be good sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-16 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	Alex nodded as he took another meringue. "Anyone else around? Did we get anyone new or did anyone leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-16 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Lots of people are having....private conversations, I think. No changes to the roster, although Marrina's little sister has been staying here. She's nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-17 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Marrina has a sister? Cool. I look forward to meeting her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-06-17 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	"We got company?" Marrina asked, as she came into the kitchen, attracted by the smell of baking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-17 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Alex greeted Marrina with a smile. "Nope. Just me returning home. Hello Marrina." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-06-18 02:00 am UTC (link)
	Where Marrina goes, her boyfriend is rarely far behind. Mason's there as well. He recognizes the voice immediately. "...DUDE. SCORE!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-18 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Hey Mason, good to see you," Alex said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-06-18 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"I.... I have to go get something! Don't move!" He bolts out of the room, cackling as if seized by some inspiration. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-18 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Mel blinked at Mason's abrupt departure but smiled at Marrina. "Alex can go two hours as a human now. Isn't that great? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-06-18 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"Just for the record," Marrina said, "I have no idea what he's gone to get." She smiled. "But that is pretty awesome. Congrats, Alex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-18 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he said with a smile. "Professor Xavier was a lot of help and I worked really hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-06-18 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Mason returns, out of breath from his sudden sprint, clutching something blue and white under one arm. He holds it out to Alex. "Here. Happy... whatever we want to call this occasion." In his hands is a hastily re-sized Leafs jersey (thank goodness for artificial fibers). He grins. "No-one with a torso should be without one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-18 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	Mel giggles quietly and sighs a little. "The Box Brothers and hockey," she says softly. "Go figure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-06-18 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina was torn between rolling her eyes and laughing, and opted to do both. "Still trying to figure this particular brother out," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-18 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	Alex smiled and accepted the shirt. "Thanks, man. I really appreciate this." It was one of the first articles of clothing anyone had given him since his powers first manifested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-06-18 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Mason grins. "Nothing to it man. You're one of us, remember?" He smiles to Marrina. "What's to figure out? I'm awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-06-18 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Watch out. Jordan may retaliate by getting you a closet," Mel says quietly, smiling. "You know how he is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-06-18 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina smiled. "You are," she agreed with Mason. She laughed at Mel's joke. "It's probably already been built just for this moment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-06-19 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Knowing Jordan? Yeah, he probably does," Alex said. It was really nice to be able to sit and actually talk to people. Using actual words. (Reply to this)(Parent)
