Jason fell out of the cab as he chuckled and waved off his friends, he took his bag, stood himself up, and looked at the old place. the Academy's gates were like an old friend to him, perhaps menacing to some, perhaps just gates to others, but to him, they meant the two things that he truly loved in this world "Home and Family" he said to himself with a happy sigh, then he remembered what had occurred previously, but he put it out of his mind, sure maybe there would be no more chats with The Professor over tea, or helping Jean 'inspect' the desserts, or grabbing a cold one with Scotty after a long mission. No more ancient wisdom from the old man, no more.....no more......... "enough people are going to be sad and depressed, It's my job to make sure that they are able to do so on full stomachs" Jason chuckled to himself as he picked up his bags and waded his way through the sea of students rushing into the gymnasium.

Jason cocked an eyebrow at the strange behavior, usually students couldn't wait to get OUT of school, or at least, that's how it had been with him, but he supposed they were all afraid of what would happen if they missed even one minute of Ms. Ororo's grand opening speech. That woman, that woman was Jason's own personal hero, and Jason would follow her into the raging inferno of hell and back again if she asked, now that he thought about it, she just might ask that. So, perhaps Ororo wasn't the most relaxed, or short-winded, person Jason had ever met, but she GENUINELY cared about the school the people in it, and the memories of those no longer there, and she tries, really tries, to be her best, and that counts for a lot more than people give it credit for. Jason knew that despite how humble Storm is, she would make an excellent replacement for...for....yeah for him. Thrusting his bag over his shoulder, his hands into his pockets, and his gaze onward, Jason headed for his holy place.

Upon reaching the kitchen, he found it a mess, apparently while he'd been gone at R&Rfest (Rock and Relaxation fest, 3 straight Months of hard, classic, and soft rock, on the sandy shores of Ibiza, the tickets were actually for Me, Scott, Jean, and Cassie, My now ex-girlfriend, a gift from the um....uh...the uh...yeah..him.) the pots were everywhere, the pans were a mess, the refrigerator door was open, apparently Bones was back too, as Jason noticed a lack of the special calcium milk he had to specifically order from Norway just for her. That was good though, it'd be nice to see a familiar frown now and again. Jason finished his cleaning and made his way back to the auditorium, just in time to hear the last few bits of Ororo's speech, "She's really got a talent for oratory eh?" Jason chuckled in the ear of a kid who had almost fallen asleep. He winked at the woman who was probably his oldest friend. He was pretty sure she winked back, though he could never tell with her if it was a wink, or if it was just a trick of the light....
