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.

	"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)

Raven rolled onto her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows, legs kicking lazily behind her. "You're a pilot?" she asked excitedly. "You'll have to take me sometime!"

The vibe between them was starting to feel more like one of friends rather than the complicated mess that was mother-to-be and son-from-the-future. It was strange, still, and maybe not where the relationship would logically lead, but Raven found it a relaxing change.

It was still definitely strange. But Kurt wanted to know her, wanted to know his mother because she was already so important to him - perhaps she already had been all along. And being friends with her was certainly better than nothing. "Of course I'll take you, Raven," he promised, chuckling a bit at her enthusiasm. "The X-Jet is still here and...we can always go flying."

A bright smile lit up on Raven's face at the mention of the X-Jet. "They fixed it!" Well of course they'd fix it, she thought to herself, it's Hank's baby. "Can we go now?" She sprung off the bed and grabbed his hand, meaning to pull him along down to the hangar, but she paused long enough to gauge whether he'd agree. He was the one who'd be flying it, after all.

	"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."
