"My poor Ninja Koga," Juka said with the softest possible sympathetic pat on the shoulder once he had finished his origin story. It wouldn't do be have his sympathy cause more pain than he was all ready in, kind of defeated the purpose of being sympathetic. "Many people don't understand mutants but the solution to that problem isn't violence and death, its education and showing them through example that not all mutants are bad. We're human too, we just happen to have powers along with everything else." Almost funny to be talking about education given how much of an indifferent student he was back in high school.

"Ssspeaking of hurt, I think I might be ready to casssh in thessse achesss and painsss for an advil or two."

A sudden realization, at those words, that Juka might actually be able to take an advil for his pain now that his bubble was gone. Oh, happy day, happy happy day. One never knew how much they would miss such things until they were forcibly taken from you. And, joy of all joys, he might actually be able to sleep now too! Not that he really felt tired, his bubble only having disappeared recently, but if he could only figure out how to become tired...It stood to reason that if his bubble could make him less tired then perhaps it could make him more tired too, right? Things to consider.

"Now that trainin' thing sound really good. I'm in. C'mon I'll walk ya down to Doc before I go to bed. We all deserve some rest don't we."

"You wonderful, beautiful woman, I do believe you just read my mind." Unfortunately the walk to the good Doc's infirmary was going to hurt, wasn't it? And there wasn't even cookies at the end of that trip. Oh well, sometimes sacrifices had to be made and if he was going to be a proper super hero he would just have to get used to them.

~~"That's exactly what I was hoping to hear." "Now that trainin' thing sound really good. I'm in."

Koga Grinned . “ Well we have our cell of three then, jussst got to wait til the x’sss get back and we can ssshow em who hasss been keeping the ssstreetsss clean while they were gone. Or you know wreaking havoc in central park asss the cassse may be.””

“Yeah, I got a letter from my grandfather sssaying he would visit sssoon. Sssp not every one isss ssso ignorant.”

"Thanksss, and yeah we do."

Koga took the helping hand after wrapping his swords in his gi and setting them on the mantle. He wasn’t carrying them to the infirmary. The odd trio hobbled and groaned their way to the docs office and so was the tell of Christmas morning. At Xavier’s sister school, Santa didn’t stop by because too many of the children were awake and nursing their wounds, oh they hadn’t been naughty but they had been awake.
