BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

There was a crackle of energy before reality split and portal opened up into the Portalocity Lounge. A few seconds later a figure popped through the portal wearing what appeared to be an environmental suit attached to an air supply hose going back into the portal. He then pulled out a tablet device and took some readings before stripping off the environmental suit revealing the teenager known as Barry Ween.

"Okay, Jeremy. I'm here and the atmosphere is breathable. Send the rest of my shit through," Barry said into his comm headset. "No. Just push it into the portal and pull back the suit. Jesus Christ! How fucking hard is it to push it through numb-nuts? Just fucking push it!"

Three suitcases and a large crate appeared through the portal. "About fucking time. Okay, now press the button to close the portal. Which one? The big fucking button that has a label on it that says 'PRESS THIS FUCKING BUTTON AND NOTHING ELSE.' Are you fucking kidding me? No. No. No! Just fucking forget it! Don't touch anything I'll shut it down remotely."

A couple of taps on his pad and the portal disappeared with a "plip." "All right it's done. Don't touch any of my fucking stuff while I'm gone, Jeremy. You hear me? All right. I'll check in with you later."

Barry looked up at the glittery sign bearing the name 'Fandom High' and grunted before going back to his tablet and taking further readings; muttering to himself occasionally when he found something of interest.

Kaylin sighed. "You will. All my teachers hate me. They say I'm not living up to my potential. Or that I'm rude and hopeless. One of them told me he wished he'd never been born if it meant he had me as a student."

She was pretty glum about it, but things were the way they were. "I'm always late and I fall asleep in class and I don't really care all that much about stupid politics and interspecies relations-whatsis. I learned to read and write, though! Mostly. That should count for something, right?"

"Something," Anakin agreed, looking slightly amused. "I think you'll discover classes here aren't quite as traditional as what you're used to."

"Will they help me survive? Or be a good Hawk?" she asked. "'Cause otherwise I don't really see the point."

"Um... Sorry," she added, belatedly remembering who she was talking to. "Sir."

"You'll have to decide on your own about that," Anakin replied.

"I always do," Kaylin said. "Just the teachers don't always agree with what I think."
