Characters are not mine...
Sorry to all of you who have been NICE about the length of my parts and
how long you have to wait for them.
3 Days after returning to the mansion...
Jubilee sat up in bed, propped up against a headboard, reading.
She is wearing a tank top and you can see the bandages she still has on.
Logan walked in and stopped and stared at Jubilee. "Well, aren't ya
gonna say anything?" Logan approached her and sat on her bed. "Oh,
darlin' I am so sorry. I should've never let anything like this happen
to you." He reached over and hugged her gingerly, being cautious not to
squeeze her too hard or move her bandages. Jubilee felt the first outlet
she had had since OZT. "Wolvie, it's not your fault. It's mine. I froze. I just let
Sabertooth attack me. I could have fought back but all I did was run...
not even fast." At this point, Jubilee broke down in tears. "Shhhh."
A few moments later...
"Don't go blaming yourself. You know you havn't been able to use
your powers since I brought you home from Bastion." At that name, Jubilee
shuttered. Logan felt her shaking in his arms. "Jubes, what happened
there?" No response. "I can't help you if I don't know what happened."
"Wolvie, I can use my powers." "Huh?" "I never lost my powers. I have
just been afraid of using them." "Why?" Jubilee looked at the ground.
"You can't tell the professor. He would kick me out of the X-men for sure.
...I broke the #1 rule. Don't kill if unnecesary." Logan studied her
face intently. "I won't tell." "I killed Bastion. I saw Bastion. First,
I just knocked him out. But I was so mad and tired and Oh, I don't know
but, I..I'm not even sure of what I did. I did something to his body.
All that was left was ashes...ASHES!" Jubilee was now shouting as her
mind recalled the images of Bastion's ashes scattered on the floor below
her. "That is why I havn't used my powers. I was afraid it might
accidentally happen again...or the Professor would find out. You are
my friends...my family...I don't know what I would do without any of you."
Now, she was crying into Logan's sleeve, lulling herself to sleep, while
Logan rubbed her back. "It's alright darlin'. We'll straighten
everything out tomorrow." And Jubilee went to sleep in Logan's arms
with the knowledge that everything truly would be better tomorrow.
TA-DA...I'M DONE...THANKS TO ALL YOU WHO STUCK WITH ME!
