A/N: As requested, I'm doing a follow-up for the follow-up of "Jack The Ripper". You guys seem to really like the idea of Chase coming back and getting involved again. I just want to thank everyone for reading this and wading through all of those chapters that sucked in the beginning and all the angst just a few chappies ago. I hope you guys like this one!

Mico-chan: I appreciate your glowing review and I'm glad the characters weren't terribly unlike themselves. Though I'm not entirely sure what brought on Chase's lines about leaving...

AwayForLunch: I thought it would be cute to kind of show the progression of the relationship, first one, then the other, you know? And yes, Tyler will always and forever be the most amazingly adorable character EVER! lol.

EternityIsALongTimeXX: It just didn't seem right to call him by his full name all the time. And besides, calling a "tough guy" like him something as silly as "Pogo" seems like a sure way to irritate him, especially if he's already angry-face!

Lil Kitsune-chan: I fixed that chappie just for you and you were right, I should've taken my time T.T And about your suggestions...Well...I took several key elements into consideration. Let's leave it at that. :-D

Marcus 1233: I know you didn't officially review, but I'm including you here anyways. I know how it feels to be bogged down by impossible amounts of work, and don't worry. Just keep working on writing in your spare time. Don't feel obligated to review, but know that I check my inbox almost daily, hoping to see a review from you that will make me think and re-consider some of what I wrote. :-D

When a door opens in a quiet classroom, everyone looks. It's human nature to investigate sudden noises. So when the door opened suddenly in the middle of Mr. Horowitz's lecture, fourty-five pairs of eyes darted to the portal. They all listened to the hushed conversation between Mr. Horowitz and the intruder and most of them watched as the intruder made their way to the back of the room.

Caleb smirked to himself as he took his seat. He'd shown up late and, from the looks of things, Pogue wasn't very happy about what that implied. Chase had decided to start class again in a few more days. (He was still a little out of it from the Power withdrawls and they both thought it best for him to stay home.) Of course sex would be the first thing for Pogue to think. I mean, after his outburst yesterday, that's probably the first thing Reid and Tyler thought too! Or, they would have thought if they'd actually been in class instead of in the back of Tyler's Hummer doing God only knows what.

"Your friend keep you up all night again?" Pogue demanded.

"Yep. He's in a lot of pain right now. He's hurting worse than that time Reid got drunk and tried stage-diving out in the Dells and no one caught him because he called out all the girls that he slept with that didn't mean anything."

Pogue almost allowed himself a smile at the memory of Reid crashing into the packed dirt under the little stage they'd set up. But when he remembered who the loveable idiot was being compared to, it drained him of his humor.

"Smile Pogue. He's not homocidal." Caleb rolled his eyes as they walked down the hallway.

"That's what you think. I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks about killing you in your sleep on a regular basis."

"Lay off, Pogo. It's his decision, let him live with it. If things work out, we've got brother number five back. If the prick tries to kill one of us again, we kick his ass all the way to the seventh circle of hell, then we give Cay the 'I Told You So' speech." Reid said, appearing from nowhere with Tyler in tow.

"Do you really want to let it get that far?" Pogue demanded.

"I don't think we're going to have any issues with that." Tyler shrugged.

"Like you know everything about everyone." Pogue seethed, pissed that no one was agreeing with him.

"Watch what the fuck you say." Reid hissed in Tyler's defense.

"Let's not fight now. There's no point to it. What's done is done."

The scene froze for a fraction of a second. Chase had materialized from the crowd, thrown one arm around Caleb's shoulders and interrupted their conversation. Pogue's eyes flashed black.

"Not in public, Pogue." Tyler said softly.

Chase tilted his head to one side and smirked at Pogue in a way that Caleb (guiltily) found incredibly attractive. Pogue ground his teeth together and stormed down the hallway. Reid watched after him with venom still in his eyes while Tyler peered over Reid's shoulder, watching Pogue rudely push people out of the way before sighing something about needing to send him to Charm School.

"What are you doing here?" Caleb demanded

"So you're not happy to see me?" Chase raised an eyebrow and Caleb felt like he was drowning in those honey-colored eyes.

"I never said that. I just thought we agreed you were going to stay home until Monday."

"I got lonely at home and the withdrawls don't hurt so much anymore, so I decided to start classes again early. Besides, I think a week is enough school for me to miss."

Reid and Tyler had turned their attention back to the not-pissed-of Sons of Ipswich and waited for Caleb to respond. He said nothing for a long moment.

"What the hell. It was worth it to see Pogue turn that shade of red." Caleb grinned.

Chase smiled in return and quickly kissed Caleb, despite the high risk of people seeing.

"Well! I think we're all going to be plenty late to history class as it is. Let's get moving." Reid said suddenly.

They all agreed and walked to the history class they had together. (Surprise surprise).

"I'm sorry about Pogue." Chase murmured as they hurried down the hall.

"Don't worry about him. He'll get over it. You should've seen how he reacted the first time he caught Reid checking Tyler out. I thought he was going to blow a gasket and Reid was in fear for his life for a few weeks. He's a hot head like this all the time. Don't worry about it. He'll eventually get over himself." Caleb promised.

------------------------------ONE MONTH LATER--------------------------------------

Pogue rudely pushed by Chase, knocking the smaller teen into a row of lockers.

"Watch where the fuck you walk." Pogue spat.

"You're the one that takes up the whole damn walkway. Tell me something, do you lift all those weights because Kate likes your muscles or because you're trying to compensate for something?" Chase asked, his familiar smirk in place.

Reid, Tyler and Caleb watched the situation warily.

"If anyone's got something to compensate for, it's you." Pogue said coldly.

"This is because I chose Caleb over you isn't it? I would've picked you, but that just would've broken Kate to bits and I can't do something like that to such a nice girl."

The air was charged with thousands of threats left unspoken and hundreds of comments best left unuttered.

"I think you're the one that's upset with being with Caleb. I mean, everyone knows I'm the epitome of perfection." Pogue smiled after a few long minutes.

Chase smiled in reply and the five of them laughed, all of them glad Pogue had finally gotten over his issues (just like Caleb promised), Chase was finally over his addiction (just like they had all secretly hoped) and things were returning to normal. Well, as normal as things could be or five teenage boys with an ancient magic in their possession.
