There in line stood Coach Sue Sylvester.

Blaine couldn't believe his luck this was a chance to make a powerful ally at Kurt's school. To get the support of the woman that resigned as principle over what had happened to Kurt.

 Blaine felt his stomach drop a little when he realized it wasn't what ‘had happened' it was what ‘is happening' to Kurt. Kurt still had to bring an extra change of clothes with him daily in case of slushie facials or dumpster tosses. Kurt still was covered with bruises from locker slams. It was still happening and Blaine knew Kurt was going through daily abuse that was causing more than just physical damage.

Blaine needed to help Kurt. Blaine needed to win over Sue.

 "Excuse me, aren't you Ms. Sue Sylvester the coach that won six consecutive National Championships? The genius with the avant-garde style, I mean last year's competition was the best." Last year's competition was also the only one Blaine had ever seen. "You added vocals, which was unheard of until then.  Then to have the whole routine based around a male cheerleader, it was revolutionary!" Blaine was certain he had just gone too far. He had been playing this so far over the top not even an egomaniac like Sue would believe anyone cared that much.  

Sue gave him a calculating glare then said "I'll do you a couple favors Napoléon, first: I won't turn you in to the EPA for that oil spill on your head. Second: I will let you feel like you actually matter" Sue turned to the barista "Give me the largest most expensive drink, cookies and pastries you sell here ‘The Mayor of Munchkinland' is paying" Sue stated as she gestured to Blaine.

Why Sue needed a 70oz cup of coffee or half the items in the display case was one of those things Blaine would never understand. Blaine had no idea you could spend so much at a coffee shop in just one trip. That was his coffee budget for two months, gone on a scheme that may or may not help.

 Kurt was more than worth it though. There was nothing Blaine wouldn't give or do to have things back to how they should be.

Blaine was completely preoccupied as he left The Lima Bean. He accidently bumped in to someone, Blaine knew the taller boy.

It was Mike Chang and he was looking guilt-ridden as he tried to hide the copy of ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops' he was holding.

 Blaine knew Mike well enough to know he had a cousin that could get him games before the release date.

"Wow, I didn't know that came out yet" Blaine told him pointing to the game. "I'm Blaine Anderson by the way" Blaine offered Mike his hand and a charming smile.

"Mike Chang" he said as he shook Blaine's hand and returned the smile "and the game hasn't... technically come out."

"Well then I guess you are very lucky. I wish I had the opportunity to play it before the release date." Blaine didn't really care about the game but he did miss hanging out with Mike. Blaine was fishing for an invite to Mike's place. Blaine knew Mike would have a bunch of guys over every time he got a game early.

Mike just seemed uncomfortable at Blaine's obvious desire to be invited to his house.

Blaine knew there was two things that could win Mike over so he used them "Well, I have to go I need to work on a dance routine for Glee Club and make sure that The Asian Student Council Meeting hasn't been changed" Blaine turned to walk away.

"Hey, um...Blaine, my friends and I are going to get a couple pizzas hang out and stuff tonight. Do you want to join us?" Mike asked with a friendly smile.

"Yeah, sure that sounds like fun" Blaine beams. Today may have been a little costly but it was going wonderfully.

"Let me get your number because we're still working out where we are going to hanging out" Mike said as he passed his phone to Blaine.

"Tired of Hummel already? Is this your new boyfriend?" Karofsky jeered, earning a laugh from his friend Azimio. 

"Don't worry about your vampire chick I got something for her to suck on now that you changed teams" Azimio said trying to provoke Mike into a fight.

It indeed worked because Blaine was forced to hold Mike back.

Blaine rounded on Karofsky "You clearly don't want to show up on the radar of a guy like me." Blaine gave Karofsky a knowing look that he changed into his best impression of Kurt's ‘bitch glare' that he could muster. This was all it took confirm that he knew Karofsky was gay. "So, unless you want to continue this conversation, I suggest you walk away"

 Blaine's statement went unnoticed by Mike who was still eager to find out what kind of damage he could inflict on Azimio.

Karofsky was petrified and it showed. He looked to make sure Azimio didn't understand the full meaning of what Blaine said. "Let's just leave these girls alone" Karofsky said nervously hoping to convince Azimio to leave.

Azimio left reluctantly, practically being dragged away by Karofsky.

Blaine wouldn't have outed Dave. Dave was going to become a decent guy but right now he was an unstable asshole. Karofsky was the one that had been hurting Kurt the most. Blaine couldn't let that continue anymore.

"Dude, that was awesome how did you get two guys twice your size to back down like that?" Mike looked rather impressed and mildly confused unable to grasp what Karofsky and Azimio found intimidating about Blaine.

Blaine laughed "You were there. You saw everything that happened, Mike"

Blaine handed Mike back his phone "Text me your number. I have got to go, I'm running late"

When Blaine got to his car he had two new texts. One from Mike saying he would see him tonight and the other a mass text from Wes reminding all the Warblers that they were meeting this morning.

Blaine remembered he needed to call Wes.

 "Hello"

 "Hey, Wes. Do you think it is too late in the year for me to join The Asian Student Council?"

"Blaine, are you Asian?" Wes asked uncertain if Blaine qualified to join that club.

 "I am a quarter Filipino" Blaine told Wes proudly.

"Okay, I'll email you a schedule."

After a reminder about the importance of being on time to practice and their goodbyes Blaine was running ten minutes late.

There may have been some minor traffic violations but Blaine made it to Warbler's practice on time.
