[When Kurt steps out of the tunnel today, he's relieved. It's kind of like being back home, if home was a place where you were at the mercy of scientists and bureaucrats and the subject of weird experiments. But it's got friends and family, so he's still relieved to be here. Not to mention having a sky over him again. It's kind of refreshing to actually be chilly! Although a little sore from two weeks of teleporting, he's content to make his way back home.

... where he'll find out Jubilee is gone. Not to mention that Melanie is still away. It's kind of a bummer on both count. But he keeps his chin high and remembers that he still has friends. Jubilee went back to the X-Men she belongs with, he's with the X-Men he belongs with, and he'll be ready the moment Melanie comes back.

After spending some time getting settled back into the X-House again, he goes out for the evening, looking for some fun to stimulate a Kurt who spent two weeks of fighting and boredom (and people staring at him like a freak). Good Spirits, Cloud Nine, and the Rec Center are all stops this evening for him. A successful mission completed deserves a little celebration, after all.

At some point, he pops open his journal to ask something he's been thinking about. From what he knows of Kotetsu and Pao-Lin's world, it almost seems to have 'mutants' like him. But unlike his world, they seem to have a better lot than mutants in his world do. After two weeks of being stared at like a freak, his own mutation is pretty heavy on his mind. Maybe other worlds are like this too?]

So a lot of us have powers, yeah? How many people were born with them... but only by accident? I don't mean like some kind of magical powers, but something totally random.

And... what do the people of your world think of that?

Oh, totally. You should meet him sometime. He's one of the coolest guys I know. [Yeah, Kurt basically thinks Scott is the best guy ever.]

I'd like to meet him. Hey, if you think he's awesome... [Yes, she's teasing.]

[He's not entirely following her teasing though.]

Well... he is. He's an X-Man like me.

[She lets it go and just nods.] I'd like to meet him.

He's around. Just look for the guy with the ruby red sunglasses. You can't miss him.

I'll be sure to introduce myself. I'll tell him that you said he's awesome, so he better not disappoint. [She laughs a bit.] So. What's good here?

Well, there's the booze! Or you can go for the smoothies. Everyone loves smoothies.

No booze for me. The smoothies sound more than awesome.

[He lets out a mock sigh of relief.]

Good! Now I don't have to pretend to like booze.

You don't have to pretend on my account. But that's sweet.

Well, you know how it is. You walk into a bar, find a depressed friend and... you don't get a milkshake.

Nothing cheers you up quite like a milkshake. It's one the top ten list of best comfort foods.

Well in that case, milkshakes it is!

I'm right there with you.

So then, what's your pleasure, frauleine?

It has to be strawberry. There's nothing better.

Now those are fighting words, you know.

Now what makes you say that?

Strawberry is fine, Alexis. But I do have to stand up for the classics. Everyone knows chocolate is the best.

Well, of course, if you're looking for something hot to drink. But cold? Gotta have strawberry.

Well that's where we have to disagree. I like my strawberries separate.

I like mine frozen and whipped into deliciousness. Or covered in chocolate. That'll do, too.

[He shakes his head, amused but feigning disappointment.]

And to think I thought I knew you. Oh well.

I am many things, my friend.

And one of them is a traitor!

[So he says as he goes to the bar to order their milkshakes.]
