"Returning to Westchester"
Chapter 2
Train Station
Westchester, New York
The Mutant X team got off at the Westchester Train Station. They were all dressed in black and headed to get their bags. "Come on, let's sit down and then we can call the school," Adam told them.
"But if you call the professor, then he'll think that we were late picking you up," Scott Summers greeted them. The Mutant X team turned around to see that Scott Summers and Jean Grey had come to greet them. "It's good to see all of you again."
"Hello Scott, Jean. Thank you for coming to pick us up," Adam told them.
"Well, all of the kids wanted to be here. Ororo and the professor wanted to be here, too, but we thought that might be a little too hetic," Jean explained.
"If everyone's ready, why don't we head to the school?" Scott suggested.

Scott parked the car in the garage and they all headed into the house. "Your rooms are exactly where they were last time," Scott informed them.
"We're going to go check in with the professor. You know where we are if you need anything. See you at dinner," Jean told them as she and Scott left them.
"Let's head up," Adam told them.

Shalimar's Room
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Shalimar was unpacking, thing about home, and all that had happened in the last year. Shalimar finished neatly putting her things in the closet and dresser drawers. Shalimar looked up from the drawer at her reflection in the mirror that was aprt of the dresser. So much had changed, she thought. A knock came at the door and she looked down from the mirror and then opened the door. Brennan was waiting. "Yes?"
"Hey Shal', can I come in?" Brennan asked.
"No," she said seriously.
"What?" Brennan asked laughing, surprised that she hadn't said yes. She looked...uncomfortable, home sick, and a little scared. "Shal' you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" she asked crossing her arms.
"Shal' ?" Shalimar walked over to the bed in the middle of the room and sat down. Brennan walked in and closed the door behind him. "What's wrong?" he asked approaching the bed.
"Nothing," she told him looking down at her hands.
Brennan sat to the right of Shalimar, "it's obviously not nothing or you would have looked at me when you said that and you wouldn't be looking so sad." Brennan pulled Shalimar into his arms. "Shal' you know I'm here for you, right? You can talk to me."
"I know," she said softly.
"Then talk," he told her.
"Brennan," she said sitting up and turning around to face him. "It's not that I can't talk to you, I...I just need to be alone right now."
"Why?"
Shalimar's head fell back down to look at her hands that were playing with her shirt. "I...I just can't," Shalimar told him almost crying.
Brennan saw tears forming and the sound of her voice. Brennan was frustrated, he leaned out and kissed her forehead and hugged her. "Why can't it be like it has been like at Sanctuary?" Brennan asked and then got up and left.
As Brennan closed the door Shalimar answered softly," because this isn't home."
A few minutes passed and there was another knock at her door. Shalimar ignored the knocking and just laid down on the bed. The door opened and someone walked in, Shalimar had turned over so she didn't know who had entered. The person sat beside Shalimar on the bed. "Shalimar," Adam said as he turned her over so that she was facing him. She was crying and trying not to look at Adam. "I know the last time we were here you weren't very thrilled to be here, but it's either here or back at Sanctuary."
"Sanctuary..."
"Shalimar, I'm trying to do what's best for everyone. I wanted to keep all of you safe from Gabriel. Now Gabriel already got you and...Shalimar just know that we are here."
"Adam?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"I saw Brennan come out of here a few minutes ago. He didn't look happy."
"I know...did you see where he went?"
"Into his room."
"Thank you," she said as she sat up and hugged Adam. "I will try to be happier," Shalimar told him as she wiped away her tears and tried to smile. "I'm going to go see Brennan."
"Okay."
Shalimar and Adam headed out of the room. She closed the door and watched as Adam walked to his room. Shalimar walked over to Brennan's door and knocked. "Go away!" Brennan yelled.
Great, she thought, I've rubbed off on him. Shalimar opened the door anyway to find Brennan lying on his bed face down.
Brennan turned and yelled, "I said go away!" Brennan stopped quickly when he saw Shalimar standing there.
"Sorry," she said quietly. Shalimar turned and almost made it out the door.
"Wait!" Brennan told her grabbing her arm and pulling her back. Brennan kicked the door shut and turned her around. "I'm sorry for yelling."
"I'm sorry for, well, isolating myself and rubbing off on you...I just really miss being at Sanctuary. Brennan?"
"Yes?"
"Can we try a relationship?
"Relationship? What kind of relationship?" Brennan asked taking both of her hands.
"Something more than friends."
"Dating?" Brennan asked as his head rested against hers.
"Yes, I would like that," she said smiling.
"Kissing?" he asked pulling her closer.
"Definately."
Brennan leaned into kiss Shalimar, but was interrupted by Jesse's knocking. "Brennan! Dinner time! Let's go!" Brennan kissed her forehead, "sorry."
"Later?"
"Definately. Let's go to dinner," Brennan said.
