An aching pain

We see a lot of stories where Jubilee is killed leaving Wolverine to deal with his emotion afterwards. This story provides a different perspective. I wrote it after reading "Tears in Heaven" by Sacha. In my universe Ev, Scott, Cynjen and Jubilee's parents are dead. Also Jubilee is seventeen.


Sabretooth had come and kidnapped Jubilee from the Massachusetts academy again. Issuing a threat that if anyone but "the runt" came after them the frail would make a nice throw rug when he was done. Wolverine followed after them issuing similar threats to the X-men if they followed. Sabretooth and Jubilee were already deep into Canada, headed for a place they all knew, before Logan caught up. The irony of the situation was not lost on Logan. They were headed to the cabin where Sabretooth had killed Silver Fox. Logan knew this area well enough so he raced ahead to confront Sabretooth before he reached the cabin.
Wolverine found Jubilee in a clearing; tied to a tree hanging limply in the ropes. Sabretooth was standing next to her. He slapped he across the face. "Wake up frail Sabretooth called, yer runt here ta save ya." Jubilee came around and her eyes met with Wolverine's speaking volumes with only a stare. She strained against the ropes trying to break free.
Sabretooth: "Na uh frail this fight is between me and the runt." He said as his claws traced a path down her cheek, "But don't worry I'll get ta ya I'll gut ya right before he dies so he can hear your screams." Wolverine had just stood there knowing that there was nothing he could do while Sabretooth was standing so close to Jubilee. "That's it Tooth, said Wolverine. No more games one of us just ain't walking away this time this has gone on long enough." A wet "shuckt" punctuated the end of Wolverine's sentence. With that, the dance of death started. Slash duck twist, Kick spin punch, hours passed as these two experienced fighters tried to gain the upper hand on the other. Jubilee could only watch and struggle to get out of her bonds so she could help Wolvie. Both me were tiring, there healing factors couldn't keep up with the continuous punishment. Sabretooth panted, "Getting tired runt? Your frail was way more entertaining than this." Wolverine screamed "I'll kill you" in that instant rage clouded his judgement. This was just what Sabretooth had been hoping for. Wolverine charged into the trap. Sabretooth side stepped and sunk his claws into Wolverine. Logan fell into a crumpled heap on the ground, breathing barely. Sabretooth dusted off his hands, " And now time to play with your frail. Her scream can send you off to hell." Adrenaline pumped though Jubilee lending her the strength needed to break the ropes.
"Wolvie NOOOOO, howled Jubilee. You killed him Sabretooth." Fear and anger fueled the fireworks she shot at him. These emotions opened the door to Jubilee highest range of powers. She blew Sabretooth up on a cellular level each cell imploding individually. It took minutes for Sabretooth to die. Wolverine groaned, and Jubilee ran over.
Jubilee whispered in his ear, "Wolvie, your alive you can heal. Sabretooth can't hurt either of us anymore, he is dead I killed him. We're safe now." Her blue eyes met his. Wolverine coughed splattering blood on Jubilee. His voice was weak when he spoke, " Darlin' I'm not going ta heal this time. Sabretooth knew what he was doing. Tell Kitty and 'Ro to take care of each other and that I love um both." He broke into another fit of coughing. "Darlin' , Jubilee, he whispered, I will." The coughing returned and then stopped his eyes turned cold and unseeing. "You will what, Jubilee screamed, come back damn you." She beat on his chest. You can't leave me like this. Wolvie I never got to tell you how much I love you. Please come back to meeeee," she sobbed into his chest.
In both Massachusetts and in New York every telepath woke up in a cold sweat. Knowing the exact detail of Wolverine's death and the pain of the girl that grieved for him. It took the combined efforts of the Professor, Jean and Emma to contain her cries to a small section of the astral plan. The blackbird left immediately for her location in Canada. Jubilee cried and sobbed for hours rocking Wolverine's body in her lap. She slowly came to the realization that he wouldn't be back. A healing factor only worked if you were alive. Jubilee stood up laying Wolverine gently on the ground. She wanted to sent him off in true firecracker fashion. Jubilee formed a blob of energy between her fingers. She let it go and it encircled the body of Wolverine. The she then stretched the blob as high as it would go, reaching far into the pre night sky. The column sparkled and changed colors, the northern lights were paled in comparison. She held the flame as long as she could longer than she ever thought possible. Others saw Jubilee's tribute. The blackbird was just about to land when the column was formed. The Glow lit up the inside of the blackbird. By the goddess, Oh my stars and garters, What the hell is that, asked the X-men? Professor Xaiver answered their questions. "That my X-men is Jubilee's tribute to the man she loved. Wolverine's body is in the center of that fire and as his body burns so does a piece of her soul." The blackbird landed, and the Professor contacts Jubilee
*Jubilee we are here. Well that was quick Prof, she thinks . We came as soon as we heard your cries on the astral plane. Oops sorry I was so loud. Can you do me a favor Prof? Tell Kitty and 'Ro what his last words were. No, you can tell them will be there in 5 minutes.
The X-men left the blackbird to enter the clearing where Jubilee was waiting. As soon as they all gathered. Jubilee started talking,"He is gone and it is my fault. If had just been stronger Sabretooth never would have caught me and Wolvie wouldn't be dead." Jubilee looked close to breaking down. She fell to her knees, and Gambit strode forward to comfort her. "Wait,she held up a hand, I need to tell Kitty and 'Ro something. She stood and walked over to were Kitty and 'Ro stood huddled together. Wolvie's last words were for you, he said that he loved you both and to take care of each other.
The X-men just stared at her for a moment. Gambit spoke, " 'tite, Gambit wonder where is Sabretooth now?" The rest of the X-men nodded in agreement. He must be brought to justice they said. A smile crossed Jubilee's face, "Funny you should say that Gumbo. I think he should be getting his justice right about now. I killed him." "Are you sure petite, asked Gambit? Sabretooth have a healing factor." She sent everyone and image of Sabretooth death. I blew him up on a cellular level I am sure he is dead. The X-men were shocked that Jubilee could kill anyone. "I know, she said. X-men don't kill, truthfully X-men only do one thing really well they die. I am leaving . I can't deal with the stares from you all and the blood on my hands. Jubilee fled into the darkness.
Gambit went to follow. "No Gambit," boomed the Professor. "Jubilee was wrong she must face that. She broke the founding rule being an X-men, she took a life." "Professor Gambit spoke up, the petite may have killed Sabretooth but some people deserve killing. You forget Jubilee only 17 and seen more death than some of you. Now her second father dies without any goodbye his last breath used on Kitty and Stormy. Dis how ya'll are going to act?" He looks accusingly and the X-men. Gambit not want to be an X-man right now den." Gambit followed after Jubilee. The remaining X-men just stood there in shock. Something caught Storm's eye glinting in the pale moon light. The X-men circled around a patch of scorched earth. There laying in the center were six adamintum claws crossed in an X. Storm alone stepped into the circle. Storm picked up the claws cradling them in her arms. "I will take these in memory of my friend, Logan. A tear escaped her control and a gentle rain began to fall. The X-men filed back on to the blackbird. Returning to New York to plan a memorial service for their fallen team member.



To Be Continued..... HA HA HA
I will be writing this story in two parts for a little bit one for the X-men and one for Jubilee.
I have the next part written and assuming I don't get a lot of homework I should post it soon.
P.S. I write these stories to help my grammar and sentence construction so if you find any glaring errors tell me I'll fix them and repost a corrected version of the story.
