As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret
Characters: Calvin, Kurt, and Kitty
Setting: The Institute
Content: Some possible bickering
Summary: Shield drops off the newest resident of the mansion and he's not quite so eager for rehab.
There were some things in this world that just never seemed to change. That was the rule. To make a long story short, Calvin waited a very long time in a very dark place. He was a jail bird and at long last it was finally time to open the cage. But, there was a catch. Oh there was always a catch!
Shield just couldn't let him go. Oh no, it wouldn't be right. He was an American, that much was true. And he did have rights. But they were limited because of genetics. In this day it still made a person different. They called him a person of mass destruction to hide behind that fact, but what did saying that even mean? Calvin knew the truth. They were fools. But even fools have their toys. So, when it came time for the justice system to spit old Rankin out of his cell his case had to be made special. He was free, but not free. They made him play by their rules with a toy around his neck. It was a collar. Really, a leash. And it made him one of them. I guess you could say weak.
Now here he was. On another long bumpy truck ride. They were taking him by armored car to one of the few places he didn't want to go. Westchester county. There was an old mansion there. Oh, He remembered making a few mistakes there. Turns out though, the school was still open. It was incidentally going to be his new cell. He wondered if anyone even remembered him anymore. It had been long time since anything with an X had been on his shirt.
The truck came to stop and the armored doors cracked open letting light shine in. The guards hustled him out and pushed him past the gate. It was like they couldn't wait to get rid of him. Well, at least they were leaving him his meds. Calvin could give them that much. So, it was time to meet the other children of the atom. And maybe get some answers. He didn't even know what day it was.
