Why yes, Kite was on fire. Fortunately for Beast Boy, most of the flames had put themselves out by the time Kite reached him. Now he just got an almost uncomfortably warm hug from the AI--whether or not the combined impact from the two of them knocked the hero over didn't really matter to him at this point. If Kite had been capable of crying, he probably would have been at this point. Instead, he just settled for holding onto Beast Boy as tightly as possible in case he tried to explode again.

"Where were you?!" he demanded, a mixture of anger, happiness and sadness in his voice. "You just vanished, everyone was really worried and-- and we thought you had left, but I knew you'd come back, but you came back anyway! So..." He paused to catch his breath, sighing quietly into BB's shoulder.

"...And what the hell happened to you?!" He let go a little to stare accusingly at the gaping hole in his side, not to mention the torn clothes, the scratches across his face, the complete lack of shoes... "Beast Boy, are you completely incapable of taking care of yourself?"
