Well, here it was. The one place that besides the Complex, held the most memories for the lot of them. He stopped when they came to a rest outside the door, his green eyes passing over the sign that declared the club's name. He stood staring like that, silent, for a good 30 seconds before he was capable of any kind of speech. "Here she is...." He looked then to Tori. "Goddamn, I knew it'd feel weird to see it again, but I didn't think it'd be this crazy." He took a deep breath and was about to reach for the door handle, when something silver caught the corner of his eye. He turned, and sure as shit, there was Eleanor, in all of her glory.
"Oh Goddamnit." The vehicle was here, which meant it's owner was too. He hadn't been quite ready to face his crew yet, but he'd adapt to it. He squeezed Tori's hand. "Looks like we're going to have a family reunion. C'mon." With that, he opened the club door, and stepped inside.
The sight that greeted him was astounding. A good amount of the crew were seated along the bar, knocking back drinks, some of them even chuckling. He caught the tail end of Toby and Laurie Ann as they pecked and he felt like he'd stepped backwards into years long past. It all looked so....right...or almost right, anyway. There was no mistaking the tension on some of their faces as they gave their best efforts to hide it.
"Well holy Hell, Tori...would you look what the wind stirred up?" He said, loud enough to get the attention of the group. He glanced at the beauty at his side, smirking. He knew there was a chance things could get ugly...there was a lot of pain a lot of rage pent up in a lot of the people he'd considered family. He just hoped it'd fizz out before any real damage was done.

Tomorrow we could drive around this town
Let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place
