A brief respite from the chaos following Sound and Fury - Madelyn checks on Kurt to make sure he wasn't injured, and they end up talking for a brief while. There's comfort given on both sides.
What ifs and come what mays... Alison, Miles ~ There's always something to remind you of what you never had. Miles ponders that for a little bit, before deciding that maybe it doesn't matter, in light of what he has now.
The ties that bind... Sean, Terry ~ Father and daughter go run a few errands on their own before heading back to the foodcourt. The fact that they may have more in common than just their powers is a thought Terry isn't too thrilled about.
The mall can be murder before Christmas... Toad // Kyle & Terry ~ After Sabretooth knocks out Sean, both Terry & Kyle are left to face Toad, who after having ceded Miles to Mystique, decides to have a little fun with them.
When it all comes down to the basics... Sean, Terry ~ A segue into another scene, while Kyle and Toad fight. After Toad silences Terry and takes her out of the fight, Sean starts to recover and helps his daughter.
The warmth of blood // A losing proposition Creed // Alison ~ Sometimes, it's not even about wishing you'd stayed home that day. While Kyle faces off with Toad, Terry and Sean eventually joining in, Alison tries to hold her own somehow against Sabretooth. You do what you can, even when you know you don't stand a chance.
While everyone else is dealing with the casualties, Amanda takes care of Miles. Nates drops in and there is much reassurance that people are not going anywhere.
After Alex's conversation with Shiro about moving out, he goes and talks to Lorna, where he confesses about the 'kiss'. Then after angsty for a bit, they are cute as always. Also I am showing of my new shiny paid account thanks to the lovely Silensy.
