A Night Out (Open the X'ers)

[dolemeck]

His probation ended a few months ago, and Dolemeck learned quite a bit since then. He learned that he was being a selfish, self-centered twat, and needed an attitude adjustment. That was quite hard to take in, as well as fix. But he worked on himself in therapy, and was not a bit better.

For now, he was sitting back in a chair within the rec room. A new pair of leg braces were on his legs, made with better materials than the old ones. They even had a nifty black and yellow "nuclear" logo on the sides to cover up where the screws were. Some feeling had returned to his legs, so he went back to using the braces.

Dolemeck flipped through various channels on TV, a bit bored. It was the weekend and he had finished his homework, attended physical therapy, and completed a report that was not due for another week. Perhaps he should go find someone to hang out with, or if there was any sign of a good concert in town, tonight.

"Alright, you do not have to sing." It was hard to hide a laugh at what Fred said.

"Hmm... I think there is some local club that has a teen night, tonight. We can go there for some dancing and socializing. Plus we would get back in time for curfew."

"If you say so. You're certain my appearance will not cause any trouble?

"Have you not seen the papers? Mutants are heroes, now! No one is going to bother you over your appearance. In fact, you might be popular!" A look of pride came across his face.

"Come on, let's grab Kayla and go have a good time! No more worries!"

Fred almost said "I'm still alive because I worry," but decided that perhaps a little less caution than normal would be good for health.
