Author Notes: As much as I'd like to call this chapter 5 part two I won't haha. I'm being lazy and saying this is chapter six. So there! It seems like this fic is picking up more and more readers which is always awesome. Thanks so much for reading guys, all your favorting/alerts/reviews really inspire me to keep writing. I'm going ot have my friend who is an english major read over my older stuff and edit it a bit, so I'll be reposting earlier chapters most likely in the future. I'll make an announcement when that happens though.

GLEE!

Blaine shifted in his seat. He assumed they would just go to the mall or something to get his clothes, seeing as it was right above the damn base. Unfortunately Kurt didn't feel that was quite good enough. They were driving somewhere down town in the GLEE SUV, he was impressed how smooth it handled. Kurt had explained that it had been reinforced and custom made for GLEE, it was more armored vehicle than SUV anymore.

Aside from that brief conversation the ride had been a silent one. Blaine didn't know what to say to the other man, part of him wanted to ask a thousand questions and the other just wanted to hug him and thank him for what he had done. Both of these things however made him slightly embarrassed. He knew Kurt was psychic, having been on the receiving end of his powers a few times. He felt self-conscious, he hoped Kurt respected the privacy of his thoughts, he was sure he did but he could never be sure.

Kurt on the other hand was also feeling awkward. Blaine was giving off an endless variety of strong emotions and it was making concentrating hard for Kurt. He wanted to ask the other man to take a chill pill, but he didn't know how to let Blaine know that strong emotions had him uneasy. He was comfortable in GLEE, everyone there had received a fair amount of psychic training so they could repress their thoughts and emotions from becoming too strong. Blaine has had no such training and probably didn't even realize Kurt's empathic powers were sensitive.

"You can relax you know…" Kurt's voice was strained, awkward. "It's not like I'm going to take you to some secret prison and torture you." He left out the part about them actually having a place like that, he'd find out in time.

Blaine took a breath, "Sorry… just a bit overwhelmed." He looked out the window, embarrassed. He tried to focus on the passing buildings and people. It didn't take long however for them to come to a stop in front of a rather fancy looking shop, very upscale very expensive.

"Here we are… Dalton's" Kurt smiled and got out of the car, Blaine got out as well looking around.

"This is a bit much isn't it?" Blaine felt uncomfortable, living a frugal life had beaten the fashion out of him. He got by on mostly old sweaters and gap jeans.

Kurt made a face of repulsion, "You can never look too good Mr. Anderson. Remember that…" He smirked and held the door open for his older companion.

Blaine sighed and entered, the place was spacious and well lit, not overly bright, just the right kind of mood lighting that seemed to fit the clothing. There was lot of chose from it seemed, although the clothes leaded towards the more business/professional end of the spectrum.

"Oh, Agent K. We were waiting for you!" A tall Asian man walked up and shook Kurt's hand. He was dressed in a navy blazer with a chest on the upper right side with a large "D" on it.

"Thank you Wes, my associate needs some proper clothing for our work." They exchanged a knowing smile and Blaine felt a small tinge of jealousy at their familiarity. He briefly wondered about their relationship but Wes pulled him farther into the store.

"I have a feeling David will know what to do with him best, he has more of an eye for the masculine types." Wes commented to Kurt, Blaine was starting to feel like his presence was a mere pretense for Kurt to shop.

They came to the back fitting area where a black male was standing with some measuring tape. "Oh this is the one we are dressing today?" he extended his hand and Blaine shook it. He was looking around more nervous than ever.

"Yeah I suppose… I mean, don't go over board or anything…I don't need anything too expensive." He tried to sound practical but all three men were looking at him with amused expressions.

Kurt sighed, "Money is no issue… once you get your first pay check you'll understand that…" his cool voice sounded a bit distant for some reason. He adjusted his hair a bit while David took Blaine's measurements. It was funny to watch Blaine squirm and twist as David's bold approach to finding his sizes. Kurt guessed Quinn's little physical had been less invasive than this, which was saying something.

Blaine was relieved when that process was over; he had enough of people roaming his body today.

David and Wes were discussing something and looking him over from time to time. Blaine wished he could hear them but it was all mumbled.

"Got it… you get the stuff and I'll get him ready." David said to Wes as the other gave him a salute. Blaine chuckled a bit at their antics; they didn't seem like the owners of a high end clothing store.

David pushed Blaine into a dressing room before he could ask any questions, Wes then handed him a small stack of clothes. "Put them on…" was all the instruction he got. Shrugging he decided to indulge and give them a try.

"So Kurt, where did you find this one then? For someone who dresses like that, he seems like a good catch." Wes smiled giving him a nudge. Kurt raised an eyebrow, and gave him a 'you're crazy' face.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, he's a new co-worker and I can't stand people looking like they haven't opened a fashion magazine in over 20 years. Finn is bad enough… and let us not get on the subject of Rachael." Kurt's face twisted at the thought of his leaders' taste in clothing, it's the fashion blind leading the blind.

Blaine soon emerged from the changing area and Kurt had to admit he looked amazing. Blaine stood in a tasteful three piece suit; it didn't look like he was trying too hard which was a plus. It was dark gray and fitted oh so wonderfully to his body. The vest could be seen under the jacket, it was pin striped for a bit of contrast in textures. The light purple shirt he wore under it really sold the piece, giving it a splash of color yet not being too over powering. Kurt nodded to David in approval. It was official; Blaine looked good in a suit.

"Flawless, you got it right on the first try again David." Kurt smiled and Blaine gave them all a rather dapper smile. They all exchanged a look; perhaps they had created a monster. "The hair though… it's sort of fancy free as it is I suppose but we need to style it a bit."

Blaine ran a hand through his curly hair, it was true, he had not tamed it in a while and it would look better gelled back.

"Oh well, something to address at a later date." Kurt clapped his hands once to clear his thoughts, "Wes, David we'll take ten more similar style suits but don't be afraid to through some variety in there. Dress shirts are a must as well so pick something tasteful. And charge it all to my tab."

"What? No way. This is too much Kurt." Blaine protested. Kurt shot him a look to silence him. He knew he wasn't going to back down and he didn't need to get on the psychic's bad side. He just hated how Kurt's generosity seemed so one-sided. Blaine couldn't repay him for any of the multitudes of things he had done for him. Even if Kurt didn't even realize what he had done for him, even if he did it for himself, Blaine would be grateful. In this dark scary world he entered, Kurt was his savior.

GLEE!

The SUV pulled into the parking spot next to the metal door. Kurt explained there was a psychic perception filter that blocked people from noticing the entrance. Blaine didn't really understand but said nothing. He hated how Kurt talked about GLEE, everything was so clinical, so rehearsed. Blaine could tell that GLEE was somewhere Kurt didn't want to be. HE got the same feeling from all the members; GLEE was their home and their prison.

Carrying the boxes of clothes was made easy by Kurt simply having them float next to them. Blaine offered to carry some since it looked taxing to keep up. Kurt wouldn't hear of it though, the blue of his eyes glowing brightly, he really was amazing.

As the entered the base Blaine could tell something was off. It was quiet in here, but not the normal quiet, the awkward uncomfortable kind, it was still. This put him on edge, he was a little paranoid now a days.

They walked up the walk way to the main area and suddenly from several directions the other popped out, "SURPRISE!" they all shouted making him jump.

Blaine grabbed his chest, he had expected to be eaten by giant bird aliens not for his co-workers to pop out. His anxiety faded quickly when he saw them smiling, a small cake sitting on his station. They had thrown him a party? That was the last thing he expected to happen.

"What is this?" he asked breathlessly.

"A welcome to the team party!" Rachael smiled and handed him a small wrapped gift. Blaine wasted no time opening it, smiling at what was inside.

"Wow..thanks…" He pulled out a small lapel pin that had the word GLEE surrounded by a small shield. He quickly pinned it to his jacket a small sense of pride filling his chest. Yesterday his world fell apart and he thought he'd never smile again, now he was surrounded by people he knew could understand his pain, who were good and kind.

"Dude don't cry..it's a party." Finn laughed and patted him on the back, handing him a beer. Blaine smiled and took it, embarrassed for getting so emotional.

Quinn walked over to him with a coy grin and tugged at his jacket a bit, "You clean up nice coffee boy…" she winked and went to fill her glass with wine. Blaine blushed and saw Tina giggling off to the side.

Kurt was pulled aside by Rachael after everyone started to get settled, he looked at her confused for a moment then felt her tension. "Rachael what is it?" he whispered he wanted to get back to the party but he knew this was important.

"Management called… CHEER is protesting letting Blaine join. Shue said we had nothing to worry about though. I just thought you should know that they said they'd be keeping an eye on us, we have to be careful from here on Kurt." She gripped his arm a bit, more ot stop herself from trembling.

Kurt nodded and breathed deep, "Thanks Rachael, I assume the others know…" She nodded, "Good… CHEER is serious business and we don't need them on our backs. Not again." He looked over at Blaine and clenched his fists, "Don't tell Blaine… no need to worry him."

Rachael nodded, "Yeah… it may turn out to be nothing. He doesn't need to know any of that yet." She tried to smile again and held Kurt's hand, "It will be ok Kurt… GLEE is protecting us all."

Kurt smiled wryly, suddenly tired. "Yeah… that's one way to put it, better than the alternative right?" He downed the remainder of his glass of wine. He normally didn't drink but this news had 'inspired him'.

To make matters worse a sudden alarm sounded in the base and Tina ran over to her station. "Guys… Void activity… it's not in the city…15 miles North West of it." Her voice softened, "Nothing serious it seems but we need to check it out, see if anyone needs help."

"I'll go…" Quinn said setting her glass down, "I've been cooped up for too long." Finn and Rachael nodded.

"She'll need back up so I'll go too." Kurt said simply walking to the door and leaving, not waiting for Quinn who just walked at her own pace, not letting the other rush her. Blaine could see her upholster her gun giving it once over before putting it back.

He realized that this life wasn't easy; there were always emergencies to tend to. He needed to get serious; he needed to help these people. If he could help ease their burden even a bit he had to try. He needed to learn how to be a GLEE member.

GLEE!

Author Notes: So David and Wes made a cameo in this chapter and it was totally not planed, It just sort of popped into my head. I needed a place for them to shop, and as I was writing them in the car I thought of Dalton as a name for the shop, then I was like 'Why not have Wes and David work there?' and that's how that happened. Even though I write outlines out for each chapter most of the stuff just seemed to happen as I'm writing and I love that.

Also! we are getting back into the mind set that GLEE is kind of a big deal. They have to be ready for anything and Blaine is realizing he needs to step up his game. I hope Thinkgs don't feel like they are happening too fast or that it's hard to follow the logic I'm using. Oh well... please comment and review. Really guys it helps so much!

Also Also! Yay over 1000 hits! I'm so proud hehe~
