Raven stood once again in the Port Authority bus terminal, newly purchased ticket in hand and butterflies in stomach. "Well," she told herself, "it's bite the bullet time." She handed her ticket to the bus driver and found herself a seat. Once seated, she lay her forehead against the cool glass of the window and closed her eyes, wishing for sleep. She'd spent most of the previous night awake, worrying about what would happen when she arrived at her destination. Unfortunately for her, she didn't have much time to fall asleep on the 10 minute bus ride to Grand Central, but she had better luck on the hour-long train ride to Westchester. After getting off the train, Raven hailed a cab for the rest of the journey, a feeling of nostalgia growing in her as she rode down these familiar roads.

The cab dropped her off outside the mansion's iron gate. A sign on top read 'The Xavier-Lensherr School For The Gifted.' Raven guessed Charles had ordered it made before the events which led him and Erik to part ways, but found it odd that he hadn't taken it down in the two years that had passed. The gate was locked, but easy enough for Raven to climb over. Once she had gone far enough up the gravel driveway to be hidden from the road, she abandoned her blonde disguise and continued on, finally feeling comfortable to be in her own skin, feeling... at home, in a way she hadn't since that day two years ago. With one last shift to flatten her belly, Raven stepped up to the door, took a deep breath, and rang the bell.

He had to admit that he was kind of glad Raven asked him to stay. Just having her here was sort of comforting, in a way he couldn't quite explain. "I'll stick around," he promised, and sat on the edge of her bed. His tail curled nervously around him, and he shoved it out of the way - the stupid thing had a mind of its own sometimes.

"Do you want anything? Are you hungry, thirsty...Mother?" He added that as an afterthought, swallowing the symphony of frogs performing a concerto in his throat. Maybe she didn't even want him to call her that.

	There was nothing else Raven could say to that. She could only wrap Kurt up in her arms and do her best to cry into her sleeve instead of on his shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't worry," She said, patting him on the knee, "there's plenty of time for that." She crossed her arms behind her head and lay back onto the bed casually. "Your turn. Tell me all about yourself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I like it a lot," he replied immediately, and that was the truth. Kurt didn't even have to think about it much. "There are lots of opportunities here, things I wouldn't get to do in Germany. Like getting my pilot's license." That was definitely something he was proud of. "And it is stressful, yes, but we are also fortunate. It's good to remember that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I...well, yes, they did!" He was glad he hadn't been around for any initial crashing. The X-Jet flew like a dream and Kurt was always glad to have a chance to man the controls. Grinning, a flash of pointed teeth, he allowed Raven to tug on his hand and he began the trek toward the hanger. "Alright, we'll go now. Just don't jump out or anything. Not without a parachute."
