It's been a while.
Back at the Institute again, clutching a slightly ragged bundle of daisies. Art was still at their place; he had business to take care of, but could handle it alone for now.

And there were some things Leech had to do. He knocked on the front door.

	Cait was on her way down to the lake, surprise surprise, when the knock on the front door came. She detoured to answer it. The door was opened with a smile. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hello, Cait." Leech responds with a small smile. "You've gotten taller." He indicates the flowers a little. "Won't get in anyone's way if I use the tunnels-door, will it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Leech! Nice to see you again! Yeah, I grew a little bit more since the last time you saw me." She saw the flowers. "Of course not. You're always welcome here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Leech's smile widened as he came in. "How are you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-04 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm doing really well. How are you?" Cait asked as she shut the door behind him. "It's been awhile, no?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-04 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Glad to hear it. Me, too." He nods, talking as usual in the careful tones of someone who's had a lot of speech therapy. "We haven't meant to stay away, but school's kept Art really busy. I don't know how he does it." He smiles. "I guess that's why I've been sticking to being a garbageman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"School can be a bear. I can sympathize with him on the school thing. Hey, if it's what you want to do and you're happy to do it, then so be it. We all miss the two of you." Cait had known Artie and Leech since they were both tall. Now Cait was almost eye to eye with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Leech nods and smiles. "The hours are good, and I've never been sensitive about smell. How are you with school? You've finished here, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-04 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Cait nodded. "I finished here and now finishing up a semester of college. I'm dropping out to go into the Coast Guard in January." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-04 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Leech listens and thinks. "The Coast Guard sounds like it could be a good idea for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-04 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Cait nodded. "Much better than sitting around in a classroom. Though I know I will have to go back to school at some point. I will need something to fall back on if I can't do the Coast Guard thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-05 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"It's always good to have options." He nods. "It's good to see you, Cait. I'd love to talk more later, after I go down for a bit." It isn't that he believed Mama and the girls were waiting on him. It was just something he needed to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-05 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Go. I'll see you after you're done if you're going to stick around for a bit." She smiled. "It was good to see you, Leech." (Reply to this)(Parent)

Leech made his way down underground and found the little side-tunnel that had been 'home', rusty card-table that passed for a dining area and all.

He spread the flowers out and sat on the pipe. And he talked to his mother and sisters. About work. About Art. About how much he wished they'd had a chance to really get to know Art. About coming back. About everything. Grammar was eventually abandoned when his throat got tighter.

He took a few moments to breath, and finally stood.
"Miss you. Always. Love you all."

And he made his way back into the house.

	Lounging in catgirl form on one of the couches placed comfortably under a heating vent, is Chris. Her ears twitch at the passing of someone, and she rolls over, opening her eyes and smiling lazily. "Hey stranger. Welcome back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-09 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Chris. You've grown." Not surprising, just a pleasant observation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-12-09 12:28 am UTC (link)
	She smiles and hops to her feet and moves over to hug him, pleased to find no tingling of the power suppression, her form holding just fine. "What have you been up to? It's been a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-09 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Leech concentrates on keeping it that way, although Chris was always a weird situation. "Paying a few bills and making sure Art eats, mostly. Takes more time than you'd think." He smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-12-09 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, you're working hard, no surprise it takes up a lot of time. What brings you around here today?" Chris cocked her head curiously. "Everything alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-09 01:10 am UTC (link)
	"I had some days off stored up and Art could do okay by himself, so I wanted a visit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-12-09 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"Cool. You know you're always welcome here. You hear about our latest arrival? One of those nutcase kids of the Pride out west. She seems pretty cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-09 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"I hadn't. I'm sure she's nice. She's come a long way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-12-09 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Chris grins. "Yeah, she's a nice kid. Gonna be my date to Stark's big Christmas shindig. Already working on a dress for her... and believe it or not, something formal for myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-09 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Leech feigns shock. "Be careful, Chris. You know fancy things scare me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-12-09 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Oh I know. It's a most terrifying prospect, the idea of dressing up as if I were some normal beautiful girl." Chris laughs. "Meh, it's good practice at least, in case I ever design another gown like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
