xp_logsClea is in the XF office looking at files when Kevin finds her and welcomes her back into the fold.
It wasn't that Clea wasn't supposed to be there, and Amanda did say she was still on the team, but she still felt sneaky about it. She hadn't made mention to the rest of X-Force that she had returned and she figured that they would eventually find out. Cata was in front of the office door peering out, like she was on watch, as Clea was digging through some old files. She had told Amanda she would get more information on the Masters of the Mystic Arts, but she wanted to know what they had on them first. Cata let out a low mew and Clea looked up, "Oh is someone coming?" She looked around at the open box and files around, "You are supposed to let me know before they are almost here." She said in a low whisper as she started to make the room more representable.
"You know, it is easier to hide tossing an office when you don't have a magical cat obviously watching out the front of the doorway." Kevin tone was wry as he stepped into the office. "Also, there's the whole key card access and such, but we haven't really trained you for that kind of infiltration yet.'
Clea looked up and smiled brightly at Kevin ignoring the pile of papers on her lap, "So you're saying we shouldn't use Cata for future operations? And my second question would be, will you train me in that kind of infiltration? Sounds fascinating."
"I'm saying the cat might need more training as well." He said, walking over to perch on the edge of the desk. "Had a talk with Colbert. She said you're still working through your schooling?"
Clea looked at Cata, who looked like she shrugged and continued to look out the door, "I'll work on her." Clea nodded, "I am in my final few classes for actual schooling. For magical training, I was deemed safe enough to enter back into society. I've also mastered the sling ring so they couldn't keep me confined anymore." She nodded. "I've asked to continue my training into the more complex magical aspects. Did you miss me?" Clea smiled up at Kevin.
"I always miss the pretty girls." He said, arms crossed. "Especially the ones that need training. Looks like you've done a solid job in Kamar-Taj, Since you're going to be going back and forth, we'd like you to manage that relationship. Sefton normally takes point on the magical side, but you've got the better relationship. Nothing official... just keep your eyes and ears peeled while you're there for anything that might fall in our sphere of interest. I also want you to take over the New York drop schedule. It's a milk run, but it is a good start in terms of getting your training back on track. Even between the two, there should be plenty of time leftover weekly for you to finish your last few courses. Sound good?"
The redhead nodded, "I'll keep in contact with Amanda regarding the magical stuff. I am already working on files for her regarding the different Masters." She picked up a small file, "Just seeing what was already known and filling in the blanks. But everything else sounds great. You won't make me run miles, right?"
"Why would I do that? I trust you to keep yourself in shape for this job." He said. "We'll see how all this goes for the next couple of months and then sit down and put together a more thorough plan, once we all have a better idea what you feel you're best suited to. "
Clea gave a low evil chuckle and took out her phone to send a quick text. "I have the best boss ever." Clea looked up at him, "That sounds like a plan. I should have completed my last of my classes by then. In the meantime, I'll do my best and we should get Cata training. She is intelligent enough to follow orders."
"Potentially two cat agents? Christmas came early." Kevin said dryly, standing back up. "So that's your special project to work on. What's the best way to train and utilize Cata in the field. Two weeks from now, you'll present a plan to Colbert how you think it will work. So, you know, welcome home."
Clea tilted her head, "There is another cat agent? I want to meet them. Cata come here." The fae cat left her post and trotted over to the redhead. "What would you like to do? I am sure we can come up with something brilliantly." Looking back at Kevin and giving him one of her charming smiles, "Thank you. It is good to be home."
"Welcome home kid. Now grab your files and I'll treat you to entirely too many celebratory drinks I'm certainly using your return to justify ordering."
