Robin's forehead develops bit of a worried crease as she watches the vegetation shrivel up. Yeah, it's probably just because they physically can't rejoin the rest of him, but it still somehow looks wrong. More so than the cloud precipitating into inert clay.

"Just like that? Nothing to reclaim?"

"No, nothing to..."

The blob started, as it twisted it's way back into a humanoid form.

"Nothing to...one sec..." he squeaked out, before emptying the contents of his stomach onto the cell floor.

Robin winces.

"Eww... You need anything? Bucket or a glass of water or something?"

"N...no, I'll...

"I'll...I'll keep, I'm sure.

The breakout...Callileach...she was...one of the guards," Will said, trying to clear his head.

"I know she's out. There's something we can talk about with that later."

"Right now, you're what's important."

"Nnnh." Will grunted. "Like a herd of wildebeest dancing on my head."

"Hey, can we get this door open?" Robin asks, looking around for somebody official who might have the authority to do so.

"It might be best for us to keep him under observation for a bit," Dr. Cole began. "To make sure that he's fit to return to your campus."

"I. Don't. Know." Robin says defiantly. "But you keep him locked up and we'll find out together."

"Erm...no thank you, Sam, I... I'll be OK, given time..." Will said, unsteadily rising to his feet.

"It's actually not up to him; he's under medical surveillance and you don't let patients just check themselves out when they've been committed," Dr. Cole clarified.

"But I suppose, considering his unique situation, that the three of you should take him back to Xaviers. If there are any problems or relapses, do not hesitate to bring him back," he said, entering his personal code to open the cell door.

"Damn right." Robin says, vaguely shaking her fist at Dr. Cole. She's still not very threatening.

Will carefully took a few steps towards the door, resting his hand on the sides of the cell as he carefully stepped out, very unsteadily.

"Do I have to...sign any paperwork or anything?" he carefully asked, as he began to make his way down the hallway.

"No, just...take it easy for a while. Your system is unique, so we don't really know what sort of aftereffects you may experience."

"I've been through worse. I'll be OK," Will said, trying to dismiss Sam's concerns.

It would probably be more convincing if he wasn't laboring to walk down a hallway.

Will shook his head, shying away from Tosh some.

"No, no, it's alright, I've got it..."

"I can do this," he said, perhaps a little more forceful than he intended. "I just...

...I'm just going to go home, now."

"Let's hope nothing more actually goes wrong getting you home," she sighs as they make their way for the hangar.

"Not that this is your fault, but our luck's been... interesting."

"I think I'll just take the train home," Will said, hesitating, and then passing it off with a joke. "I'm not sure I trust these A.I. pilots; I can never get Flight Sim to run without crashing."

"Yup, those two are exactly the same." Robin chuckles with a shake of her head. "You sure? If you need a moment or some fresh air we can wait a little. Or you could convince them to let me fly the thing." she adds with a grin.

"I...that is...

"I'm sure the people who work here have a way to get home. There's probably, uh, a ferry or something to the mainland.

I'm not going to immediately re-shoot up with MGH, if that's what you're worried about..." he said, his eyes flickering between Sam and Tosh.

"I'll...I'll keep, Sam. I'm sure there are more important things for you to worry about at the moment. I've been through worse than this, and I've found my way through before."

Tosh didn't think Will would immediately drug back up, but he was still unsure that his friend should be alone right now.

"I trust you Will, but are you sure you should be alone right after detoxing?"

"Why don't you guys take the jet and I'll catch up with Dad on the ferry." Robin says after glancing back and forth between the three.
