Sky blinked her eyes open and looked around, feeling an intense tightening in her chest as she took in her surroundings. She jumped when she felt someone touch her hand.
“Hey, take it easy Sky. You don’t wanna bust your stitches,” Caleb soothed with a slight smile.
Skylar blinked a bit, “It’s you… Caleb.”
Cal nodded, “Yeah. I said I’d stick around.”
“I didn’t really think you meant it,” Sky admitted.
Cal cocked his head to the side slightly, “Why not?”
Sky shrugged, ‘Mom always said she’d never hurt me… she’d hurt anyone that tried to.’
“Hey,” Caleb called out to her, gently squeezing her hand.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but stop it. You look like you’re about to burst into tears again,” He gently scolded.
Sky nodded a bit, laughing a little, ‘if I don’t laugh I will cry.’
Caleb shifted so he was sitting on the edge of her gurney.
“Where am I?” Skylar asked.
“You’re in the infirmary at the Xavier school for ‘Gifted Youngsters’. Jean… one of the Prof’s first students, well she became a medical doctor. She’s also the telekinetic I mentioned,” Caleb answered.
“A guy my mom knew when she was growing up, Logan, started your treatment in route to here. You’re in New York now. You’re safe here. She won’t be able to come after you,” Cal added.
Sky blinked a bit before slowly nodding, “thank you.”
“I know it’s hard, leaving everything you knew behind,” Cal admitted.
Sky shrugged, “I never really had many friends… my eyes… they’ve… they’ve always been different.”
Caleb nodded a bit, “I see.”
She looked him over, he was wearing a blue muscle shirt and baggy blue jeans with flip flops.
“Umm…” she blushed a little.
“Jean and Ororo went shopping so you’d have some clothes but they’re in the middle of experimenting with some new fabrics, that’ll cling to you when you transform so you don’t revert back naked,” Caleb stated.
Skylar turned a shade of red that would’ve put Jean’s hair to shame, “Na-nak…. Oh my god!”
“Don’t sweat it. I didn’t look, I promise. Yeah, I’m a guy but I’m also a big brother… and you’re real close to Kiara’s age. It didn’t feel right. I did look to see where the wound was so I could keep pressure on it but that’s it,” Cal rambled in an attempt to calm her. Seeing her hide her face in his hands he decided to take a different approach.
“If it’d make ya feel better I’ll strip,” He joked.
“Don’t you dare!” Skylar exclaimed, bringing her hands down and glaring at him.
Caleb chuckled, cupping a hand over his mouth, “sorry… I couldn’t resist. You looked so stunned and embarrassed. I had to say somethin’ to bring ya to your senses.”
Sky quirked a brow at Caleb as he telepathically communicated with her before calmly replying, “You’re really a weird guy.”
“Look whose talkin’ miss pussy cat,” Caleb shot back.
Skylar’s mouth gaped at the cat reference, “Oh stuff a sock in it!”
“Mee-oww!” Cal started to mimic a cat but ended up exclaiming in shock as Sky punched his arm, leaving a red mark behind.
“Geez, do you box or somethin’?” Cal asked in a stunned tone as he eyed the future bruise.
“Serves ya right, brain boy,” Sky remarked.
“Brai—oh you are so gonna pay for that when you heal up,” Cal jested.
From the doorway, a 5’3” stocky, muscular figure watched the two kids teasing each other, ‘Yeah… he’s just like his parents… and this would be giving Liz a nostalgic sense of déjà vu.’
Sky blushed when her stomach growled.
Cal chuckled a bit, “I could go for a bite myself. What do you want?”
“Huh?” Sky asked, her face still tinged with red.
“What do you want? I’ll get it for ya,” Cal offered.
“Umm… steak?” Sky asked.
“Alright, how do you want it cooked?”
Sky thought for a moment, “Rare… very bloody.”
“God you are an animal,” Caleb teased in good nature as he stood up.
“Alright. I’ll be back… so no panthers runnin’ around cause you’re scared I’m gone, alright?” Cal bargained. He waited for Sky to nod her head in agreement before he left the room, hands stuffed into his jeans pockets and heading towards the kitchen.
"No, I don't have a crush on her," Caleb stated as Logan walked along side him.
Logan's brows knitted together in curiosity, "You readin' my mind?"
"I didn't need to. You, Dad, and Mom are all the same everytime I'm near a girl or mention one. You all always wonder if I have a crush on every girl," Caleb replied.
Logan chuckled a bit, "one day we'll figure out your type."
Caleb shook his head, "Whatever."
Entering the kitchen, the teen opened the fridge and took a few steaks out. He paused for a moment and looked to Logan, "You want one?"
Logan shook his head 'no', "Nah, I'm good."
Caleb nodded a bit, "Alright." He unwrapped the steaks and got the frying pan out before hesitating.
"What?" Logan asked.
"Just wondering how I should season them," Caleb replied.
"It'd take too long to marinate them in balsamic vinegarette dressing... but some montreal steak spice goes nicely... although if her tastes are similar to an animal she might not like that," Cal thought outloud.
Logan snickered a little before he lost his inward struggle and howled in laughter, "Listen to you. A five-star chef!" He joked when he calmed down enough to talk.
