Welcome home, Doctor
May. 7th, 2019 07:26 pmReturning to Roswell had never been Kyle's plan. Not when he first left with a full ride scholarship to Michigan, and not when a bad tackle had literally ripped any pro dreams out of his hands when it had caused a tear in his knee and ankle. Surgery had fixed them enough for him to walk without a limp, but his future career had been ruined. It was his surgeon who had talked him into switching over to sports medicine, realizing he had the grades and the mind for it. Even if he hid it a lot behind bravado and machismo.
It was then he had started to change. Realizing the asshole he had truly become, and the man he had thought he would be. Throwing himself into his classwork, his labs, pulling himself out top ten of his class and with a lot of prospects.
And then Lovelace Regional had called and everything changed. Suddenly he's back in Roswell, facing a town he never thought he'd see again.
That night is meant to be a celebration, but in the end Kyle realizes he's really like none of his friends still in town. They had never grown, never changed, and now he is becoming the man he wants to be, and it's not like these assholes. Which is what started the fight.
If not for Maria they would have come to blows, and she ordered the others out after they had circled Kyle, ready to take him down, and shoved Kyle at the bar, pouring him a shot and ordering him to behave.
