When: Sunday 8/9 midday
Warnings: None

There's no place like home, York thinks as he grins up at the building he's been away from for almost exactly two months. It hasn't changed at all, not that he'd expected it to, but the familiarity makes him smile so wide it almost hurts his face.

Sure, he's wheelchair bound and will be until he can get the strength back into his legs, but he's finally home and will soon be back among his friends. Plus he knows the medics here, so the care will be with people he's familiar with and who are familiar with him and that will make things a hell of a lot easier.

He's wheeled up to the door where he insists on letting himself in, tapping in the codes he's known for years and thanking God for the hundredth time that the bullet to his head didn't damage his motor functions. Learning to deal with only having one eye had been hard, recovering his speech is going to be just as tricky. Having to relearn how to move, how to use his hands would have been beyond torture.

The door swings open and he's pushed inside, grinning even at the plain hallway while he takes his helmet - his own helmet, finally returned to him that morning - off and holds it in his lap. He's been practicing with Obi for this.

'I'mm o- h-ho~ome!'

Sigma is right behind him in the arrival party, carrying a duffel bag full of York's belongings. His heart swells to see York doing the combination, to hear him calling out into the base. York is so happy to be home. He's just grateful he could be here to witness it.

"Where should we go first?" Sigma asks. "Your room, the recovery ward, or the common area?" York's friends have cooked up a bit of a surprise for him.

Wash perks up at the sound of York's voice. He's back! York is home. Wash is already beaming as he finishes hanging up the last of the streamers. Decorating the kitchen is clearly an idea that makes sense, right? That way the pancakes and the coffee and the good smells are all in one room.

"York!" Wash bursts into the common room and practically launched himself on top of York. "You're back! For good! Really, really back!" He gives his friend a hug before adding, "We've got a surprise for you in the kitchen."
