Home Coming (Howletts)

[Jason Kingmen]

Jason pushed open the doors of Xavier’s Institute with ease, though he wasn’t counting on a group hug waiting on him when he opened the door he was fairly surprised to find no one really in view. If anything Ororo and Jamie were the first to greet him before his own father did. Still Jason didn’t put too much thought into it and shrugged before closing the door, he was home all the same. He started walking to his old room that was most likely still waiting for him untouched, he didn’t have a roommate and doubted they would assign him one while he was away.

Much like he expected the room as untouched since he had last dwelled in it. Jason tossed his backpack onto the bed before laying there himself staring at the ceiling. He wasn’t often here more times than not he was travelling to escape the wrath of his mother Kimura or for missions with the Young Avengers. Sitting up Jason decided to walk around say hello to a few friends and catch up on what he missed. Leaving the room he wandered the school eventually he found himself in the garden. He didn’t come to this part of the school all that much it was more Ororo and Jaime’s special place.

“Jason welcome home” Ororo said appearing from the garden to hug Jason. Ororo was like a mom to Jason since Kimura wasn’t much of a mother to begin with and Bethany had been murdered. Plus Jason was the half-brother of her son as well.

“Hey Storm” Jason said returning the hug with little enthusiasm. He would never admit it but he liked the way Storm smelled of Rain and fresh flowers. They had a small conversation before Jason excused himself to look for his siblings. It wasn’t that hard thanks to his heightened senses he was an excellent tracker but even in his family Jason was exceptional. The scents led him to the danger room obviously a training session taking place. Jason decided to wait till it was over not wanting to interrupt needed practice.

She paused in the doorway, and sniffed the air. A scent that she hasn’t smelled of in a very long time bombarded her, and she quickly followed it down to the basement level and to the danger room. She saw that one of the professors had decided to use the room for a training session, and knew that she couldn’t join them. She was just too dangerous for group training sessions, and everyone knew it. Even Kofi knew better than to startle her, and he was her little brother. She leaned up against the wall behind the owner of the scent she had easily followed down there, crossed her arms, and peered over his shoulder inside to take a better look. ”I don’t know about you, but I’m not allowed in group training sessions. And you were easy to track in a school full of mutants, you might want to work on that.” She said announcing her presence. She didn’t expect her older brother to come back, as he seemed that he couldn’t stand the place. If she didn’t feel so safe here, she might have left too. But of course she felt safe, as once her father believed her and knew that the government will not stop looking for her and wanting her back. She waited until he turned around and looked at her before giving him a smile that showed her animalistic fangs. She didn’t wait for an invite, seeing at the two of them grew up in similar situations, before she closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around him giving him one of her rare hugs that only a handful of people will ever receive from her Faith didn’t drag out the hug as that wasn’t her, and broke it off after a brief time. ”Honestly Jason, I didn’t think you would ever come back. So what have you been up to?” She asked him, knowing that she didn’t see the logic of pretending that he would come back. She couldn’t help but envy his freedom in that respect as she had always feared that if she left like him, she would end up captured again. And she was never going back to that place, never. 386 | jason/howlett family | she might have missed him this template was made by ZOE of caution 2.0 !

“I haven’t seen you or been around your scent for a while alright give me a break” Jason said but hugged his sister back less awkwardly than with storm but it wasn’t completely filled with brady bunch family type of love either. Though still the two had come a long way from the way that they used to be when he first found out he had a sister. When Faith told him that she had thought he would never come back there was a twinge of guilt. He knew he left often at times never with an explanation as to why or where was he going. But it was better for people around him this way, he was still being hunted by Kimura and he didn’t want the Facility coming after Faith and Jamie or even to capture him for that matter. The best way to do this was to constantly be moving around so he was harder to capture. His job at being a Young Avenger often helped with this.

“I’ve been fine sis, how have you been and Jamie? I didn’t miss much did I? No boyfriend I don’t know about?” Jason asked with a teasing smirk showing the family fangs a little. He analyzed Faith to see if there was anything that changed from the last time he saw her. She was maturing into an older teenager obviously and getting prettier. Eventually there might be a boyfriend in the picture if there wasn’t one now. It made him regret leaving only a little bit more, then of course in Faith changed that meant that his little brother must have as well. Did Jamie even like him still? He remembered that Jamie used to look up to him and followed him around at times but did the kid completely forget about Jason?
