Cyclops is still adjusting to the fact he and the other Rusherz are not anywhere near their enemies, trying to learn and get use to the new surroundings. And luckily, he's not alone anymore.

A Titan amount of Adjusting

December 5, 1920...

Cyclops was very hesitant. He had been since he and the others got to earth. Out of all of them he was having some trouble adjusting to the new environment, and the humans. What happened a few days before rang in his head the most, shaking thinking on what almost happened.

With the President's request, all who worked at the White House gave Cyclops the time and space to get use to his surroundings. They were honest, him being with the others Rusherz again was a huge help to him.

...

Cyclops wandered the halls, looking in awe at the festive decorations.

Cyclops: Spot was right, this really is a festive time of year here. And there are so many holidays-how many holidays do humans have?

Cyclops gentle played with a pine needles, taking in the fresh pine smell. He sighed...he was so confused and lost. And yet, he was happy he was not alone anymore and that these were not the foes who harmed and torture them for years.

?: Cyclops?

Cyclops stopped and turned to see Stallion walking over, concern on his face.

Stallion: Are you alright?

Cyclops: Y-yeah just-I am so confused on alot of things.

Stallion came over patting his back.

Stallion: Just take your time on this. You've been in the wilds for months and had no idea we were in a completely differnt universe, or where we were. It's understandable you will need some time to adjust to this, believe me we all are still too. But, we're happy you okay and back with us.

Cyclops turned and gave a small smile to Stallion, giving him a hug.

Cyclops: Thanks, and thank you-for not stop looking for me.

Stallion hugged back warmly.

Spot: *looking at the snow* It's so beautiful guys. I saw the whole town light up with lights and the smells from the restaurants was amazing! Can we all go down there when i get better, you know before the holidays are over?

Claw: *nuzzles his head* Of course. You paint a very pretty picture so I'm interested in seeing the town deck out.

Spot was sitting on the sofa covered in a blanket, his fur slowly gaining color back, as he watched the snow fall with Claw and Sonar.

Sonar: We should be more cautious going out in weather like this then. We don't want you to go into a relapse.

Claw: *nods* Right. I can see why now Edith was so insistent on us bundling up-

They heard a knock on the door, turning.

Claw: Yeah?

Stallion's voice: It's Stallion and Cyclops. Mind if we come in and check on Spot?

Claw: Always welcome!

The door opened as Both came in, Spot smile growing as they walked over.

Spot: Hi guys!

Stallion: Heya Spot. Looking more colorful each day.

Spot: Thanks! Been working hard to get better and make sure I'm up befo-coughs-.

Spot covered his mouth, Sonar rubbing his back.

Sonar: Hey easy, get your working hard but don't work yourself up.

Spot nodded, his coughing subsiding. Cyclops heart broke a bit seeing Spot still recovering.

Spot: S-Sorry about that.

Cyclops: *sits next to him* No no, it's okay. Your still recovering, make sure you take it easy too.

Spot nodded as Liberty came in the room, ruffling Spot's head.

Liberty: Hey there, doing good?

Spot nodded as Liberty turned to the others.

Liberty: Got a question; would one of you mind going on a ride and picking up Freefall from Uni? Snows pretty deep so it would be good to have some extra hands just in-case.

Cyclops: Uni?

Sonar: AH right! Freefall got a scholarship to go to a university here on Earth after a, *bit of blush* very interesting lecture.

Cyclops: Interesting-

All present: TELL YOU LATER.

Cyclops nodded, then went quiet before-

Cyclops: Um-I-I could go if you like?

All turned to him fast hearing this and got a bit worried.

Spot: Cys a-are you sure?

Cyclops: Y-Yeah I-I want to see what the place is like and-you got me curious on this university.

Liberty thought on this, then nodded.

Liberty: Okay, but let us know if all this gets too much okay?

Cyclops nodded with a small smile.

Later, Georgetown University...

George M. Kober:-So at this time you shall be let go; please remember to be cautious traveling during this time of year okay.

All the medical wing students sat and listened to the dean, nodding as they got up to leave.

George M. Kober: Freefall! *Freefall looked at him* You wanted to speak to me after classes yes?

Freefall: Yes sir.

The students left leaving the Rusher and Dean alone in the room.

George M. Kober: Freefall, is everything alright? I heard of what happened with Spot.

Freefall: *Warm smile* I-I am now. I did this with the other professors, but I also wanted to thank you.

George was surprised at the response.

George M. Kober: T-Thank me?

Freefall: *nods* Yes. One of the lessons before that day was about Hyperthermia, so hearing all the information regarding it was a huge help that night. I-I want to thank you for offering me the scholarship to your university. I-I learned so much thanks to these courses and from you.

George couldn't help but let some tears fall as he smile.

George M. Kober: We are so happy to have you along our alumni and you learning with us Freefall. Do not be afraid to ask any of us, no matter what University or collage we may be, if you are in need of help.

Freefall smiled grew at this as both shoke their hands.

?: You-

Both turned to see Cyclops at the doorway, having heard everything.

Freefall: Cyclops.

Cyclops: Um-can i come in?

George M. Kober: Of course. *Cyclops walks in* You are Cyclops right?

Cyclops: Y-Yes sir um, I-overheard what you did for Freefall-thank you so much for teaching him more information and skills on the medical field.

George went down smiling.

George M. Kober: Of course, he's been an excellent student and we are happy to have him.

Cyclops slowly smiled as he turned to Freefall.

Cyclops: Liberty wanted someone to pick you up due to the weather. So I volunteer..this city is so different form what we got use too.

Freefall nodded as all were now smiling. George got up nodding.

George M. Kober: Well then, don't want to keep you boys hanging. I want you both to have a safe ride back, so you two have a good day.

Both Rusherz: Thank you Dean George. You have a good day too!

With that the two left, Freefall noting that Cyclops hesitance had decreased a bit.

Later in the car...

Cyclops was watching the snowy outside world go by, still in awe as Freefall watched him.

Freefall: I'm glad you and Dean George got along.

Cyclops blinked turning to the Seahawk Rusher. He blushed a bit there.

Cyclops: He's a really good being...Freefall, I-I-

Cyclops trailed off, worrying Freefall.

Freefall: Hey, you can tell me anything okay?

Cyclops sighed nodding.

Cyclops: There is-SO MUCH information on this whole planet we're on. These humans are so complex; history, relationships, definitions, beliefs and don't get me started on romance.

Freefall hummed blushing red a bit at the last one.

Cyclops: And yet, there are so many good souls here. I-I keep thinking back on that night, at the cathedral. People of different walks of life came together just to help save Spot, and we only been on this planet for a year. A YEAR, and they wanted to help us. We're basically outsiders and yet so many of them want to help us. It's-so confusing, and yet comforting. A-Am I being weird thinking like that?

Freefall shoke his head fast, placing a hand on the Titan's Rusherz' shoulder.

Freefall: No no, you feelings are understandable. We think the same way too, but it has decreased during the months. In fact, we were in hiding too worrying we were on Anticoria...until Peck got hit by that truck-

Cyclops: *horror* PECK WAS HIT BY A WHAT?!

Freefall calmed Cyclops down, apologizing to the driver whose heart lept out of his throat at the scream.

Freefall: He's fine, you saw he is fine. But, and granted that also horrified me, if not for that incident we would have never find out where we actually were. We-We were given a new game-plan and slate here now. We're-actually growing, unlike Cordalion.

Cyclops listened to Freefall with new found calmness and inspiration, a new outlook on the opportunity.

Cyclops: That's, true. Yeah, *smiles slowly* Yeah your right. Thanks Freefall.

Freefall smiled as they continued to converse on the ride back.

Evening; White House...

Freefall: *opens and walks in with Cyclops* HEY GUYS! WE'RE BACK!

Fang can running over smiling.

Fang: Hey Freefall! How was the lesson's today?

Freefall: Very informative, as always. I thank the dean for the scholarship, never thought we be in a dire situation so soon.

Fang smiled as he turned to Cyclops.

Fang: How was the trip over?

Cyclops: I was...needed. I feel much better now. Still gonna need sometime, but I'll be okay.

Fang smile grew and warmed.

Fang: Your just in time, Beast cooked up something called chicken and gravy.

Cyclops mouth watered hearing that as Freefall and Fang chuckled.

Freefall: Oh yeah, that's sounds perfect for the weather today. Shall we?

Cyclops nodded as all three went off to dinner.

...

Cyclops: *beaming* Will admit, I can get use to this.

Beast chuckled as he sat down with the rest.

Beast: I know, been learning all the tips and trades fro the chefs. Can't wait to learn more.

All thirty two Rusherz were eating and talking amongst eachother. Cyclops listened in on how their day was and what they learn-

Spot: *worry* Cyclops, are you okay?

Cyclops: *stops* Huh?

Cyclops looked around, the others having the same worry on their faces.

Cyclops: I-*touches cheek*

He felt something wet on his face...he was crying. Cyclops gave a small chuckle and smile as he wipe his eyes.

Cyclops: I-I really missed this. I'm-I'm glad you guys are alright.

Cyclops felt two hands on his shoulders, turning to see Liberty on one and Stampede on the other.

Stampede: We're glad your safe too. We really got worried for a while there, so to see you are safe really calms our hearts.

Cyclops: *Smile grows a bit*

Liberty: Just let us know if you need anything, we're all still new to this planet so there will be some learning curves.

Cyclops: *Smile warms* I-I will...thank you guys.

All smiled warmly as they continued to eat...ALL THIRTY TWO safe and warm as the snow fell.
