Plot Summary
Although grounded to the school after the events of There Will Be Peace, Julian places a request in to the Professor to visit home for a few days over the holidays. Eventually the Professor agrees to allow Julian to leave on the trip, provided that he is chaperoned both to and from the airport by a member of the school’s faculty. Being around the mansion at the time, Kurt agrees.
However, Julian never gets on the flight. As the two begin to make their way towards security, Julian and Kurt witness a small, private plane on the runway as its brakes slip during landing and skids off. The de-icing crew apparently missed a patch during the freezing December conditions in New York. Julian and Kurt both jump into damage control, as Kurt grabs the boy and teleports out to help the victims. Fortunately, the only accident victims on the plane have only sustained minor bumps and bruises. Kurt and Julian have worked together to begin escorting those that do need a quick medical check-up out of the plane by the time the paramedics arrive on-scene.
But as Julian and Kurt go to greet the medical crew, they’re in for a shock. One of the first responders in the back looks very familiar. After giving vague responses to the paramedic in charge, they move towards the back where their suspicions seem to be confirmed, they’re looking at Nicholas Gleason. But there’s one problem, Nick doesn’t recognize either of them.
Julian and Kurt, still a bit in shock help the response crew finish their clean-up and eventually get Nick, or “John” as he calls himself to agree to meet with them for lunch afterward in the city under the rouse of wanting to thank the crew for their rescue efforts and stating that he reminds them of a friend.
