Chapter Nine: The Return of Gleeks past
The news of Kurt and Blaine's death seemed to spread like wild fire through the small city of Lima and the family that remained was working together to get every little detail straightened out before the end of the weekend. Finn had made his way home opening the door to be bombarded by the twin girls who rush hugged him. "Hey girlies.. What's going on?" He asked giving them a hug.
"Our papas' friends are here.." Andrea offered holding Finn tightly in her arms reluctantly releasing her hold on him.
"Okay. Let me go say hello real quick. We're heading out for dinner." He offered ruffling their hair giving them the smile. Finn made his way to the kitchen where a group of people sat around the table most of them he should have felt a strong feeling about yet nothing came. He wondered if it was because of them gathering together after the loss of such important people that the feelings weren't coming.
Mercedes, Tina, Mike,and Pukerman sat softly talking about Kurt and Blaine. They were talking about how time crept up and bit you or as Puck said it poetically, "Came and bit you on the ass because you had your own crap to deal with."
The former members of glee rose from their seats once their former leader arrived. Hugs and greetings were exchanged and still Finn felt out of place. This entire thing was nagging at the back of his mind and he couldn't help but feel the beginnings of a headache in the right front section of his head.
"How are you guys?" Finn asked only to notice Puck watching him with an arched brow. "What? I got something on my face now Puckerman?" He asked arching his own brow as he wiped at his face.
"Nah.. It's just been ages.. The pool business is booming. Annnnd I just got a script accepted last week for a possible network hit." Puck offered with a small smile before frowning again. "Sorry for your loss Bro.."
Mercedes was still dabbing at the corner of her eyes with a tissue Tina had given her earlier. "Kurt and Blaine were such great people.. I don't get why stuff like this happens.."
Mike had been rubbing a very pregnant Tina's back as she blew her nose. "All I know is that who ever it was better get the full sentence."
Tina once again on the verge of hysterics glanced up at Finn only to break down. "They.. They both were so young..." Se forced out before dissolving into sift of loud hysterical tears.
The sounds were enough to summon the little girls from the front room heavy coats half on. "What go on?" Stephanie asked before looking at the adults as her own eyes began to well up with tears.
Finn sighed motioning both of them to come over wrapping them in his protective hold. "How about we all go to Breadstixs and think about all the fun times we had with them instead." He offered since he no doubt had someone who would be meeting him there in about fifteen minutes.

Natasha had gotten home and rushed up the flight of stairs to her room to find something to wear for dinner. Technically she shouldn't have been thinking this was to lead to anything but she couldn't help the desire that was burning in her to make a good impression. The horrible thought had been dancing madly in her head on her near sprint walk home that evening.
With all her control she couldn't help but hit the contact information and open the line and the door to her current big brother. 'What have I done..' Was the loud blaring question in her mind as Tony Stark with his ridiculously yet naturally looking red dyed hair motioned for her to lead the way to her closet.
"Pepper has way more of a color pallet.." He began as he looked at the various assortment of blacks, reds, and greys in her closet. "What is this?" He asked quickly reaching for it it was the only odd color out as he held it up to her a smile on his lips. "Dear little Spider.. Purple suits you." He offered as he removed it from the hanger and tossed it at her. "Purple with a flowly grey skirt.." He said only to notice her expression.
Natasha held the long sleeved purple cowl turtle neck in her hands. Her eyes wide as she trembled a bit. "Clint bought this for me.. It was when we celebrated our... Our partnership. I.. I have his give in my nightstand.." She offered looking at the blouse as if it were the last remaining part of her partner.
"He's not dead Tasha.. He's going to be waiting for you at the restaurant and you'll sooner or later pick up where you all left off.." Tony offered as he sat down beside her pulling her into a half hug. "Come on.. Who's the deadliest assassin I know who's got a date tonight?" He teased.
It actually seemed to work since Natasha seemed to laugh it off. With a natural laugh that was rarely heard. "I am.. And I do.. Thanks.." She offered with a smile as she glanced at her out fit on the bed.
"No problems little sis.. See you at work or will we be primal aged for another family breakfast?" He asked getting up and lingering in the door way.
"Breakfast it is.. Something easier than pancakes are on the menu.. Waffles and bacon. Tell Steve to bring the juice." She offered with a smile before escorting him out of her home so she could change.

It would seem the entire group had gathered at Breadstixs. Several tables were put together as the former Gleeks were once again reunited. All of them sat around the table some of which had just gotten back into town surrounded the table. Sam, Britney, and their two year old son sat on the edge of the table as they began updating the group on the failed apocalypses over the years.
Santana sat beside them talking about the world of major business that she discovered after graduating from university at the top of her class. She even smirked at the potential 10 she had waiting for her when she got home.
Quinn had begun talking about how she scored a lead roll in a play in San Fransico. It had been her dream to act and now she was finally going to get that chance.
Artie had his fingers laced together as he observed the crowd. His mind working on his next film to direct as his wife Sugar talked about how she missed everyone and would really miss the guys.
Unique sat beside Mercedes completely heartbroken that one of her inspirations was gone. Mercedes sniffles once again as Mike did his best to keep a hormonally unstable Tina from making a scene.
Puck had been helping Finn get the girls into the booster seats at the table when a woman caught his eye. "Ohh.. Who's that?" He muttered only to notice Finn freeze.
Natalia had made her way towards him. Her hair up in a ponytail wearing the purple and grey at her brother's suggestion. "I didn't know there was going to be all these people.." She offered as she waved a small hello at the mass of people surrounding the table.
Finn smiled at her, her presence relaxing him, making him at ease as he pulled out a chair he had saved besides Andrea for her to sit down. "They aren't people.. Their family Natalia. This was the Glee Nationals group." He offered with a smile.
Everyone introduced themselves, pleasantries were exchanged, stories and jokes passed about the past. All seemed to be going well and Finn's hand slowly made its way to cover Natalia's.
It hadn't caught her attention as she spoke with the twins about school and music. It was when she felt his grip on her hand tighten that she looked up at him a brow arched.
The woman who had broken his heart entered the building no man attached to her arm as she rushed towards him. "Oh Finn! I'm so sorry about everything.. Kurt and Blaine its horrible.." She said quickly wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him tightly.
Finn's hold on Natalia's hand went slack as he hugged Rachel in return.
