Here is chapter 2

I wanted to get this out pretty quickly while my muse and ideas were flowing.

Also if you check back on chapter 1 you'll see I have decided on going with Jubilee being an Inhuman, there were several reason for this, one major one being Inhumans in 'Agents of SHIELD' do end up facing a lot of public prosecution and hatred/fear. Much like the Mutants in the X-Men universe (film and comic) so I thought making Jubilee one of them would work well with her character, as well as other reasons which will be revealed later on. (Can't go giving too much away XD)

The sound of an alarm clock woke Jubilee from her slumber.

It took her several seconds to remember where exactly she was, as the alarm at first sent memories of the facility she had been in rushing back, before realization set in.

Reaching over she quickly flipped the alarm switch on the back of the small bedside clock she had placed a few meters away while she slept. Letting out a small yawn, she unwrapped herself from the thick warm blanket and stood up and took in her surroundings.

She was currently standing in an employee break room. There was a small table near her right and several chairs, a sink and several mugs and plates stacked on a drying rack beside it, as well as a small fridge in the corner of the room and a small lined bin beside it.

Looking over to the counter top connected to the sink, Jubilee walked over and retrieved the plate and mug she had used, situated next to a kettle. Quickly washing them under the warm water of the sink, she placed them in the drying rack before turning back to pick up the blanket and pillow she had been using as a makeshift bed.

Even though she had only had three hours sleep, the sun was just starting to rise, and she wanted to get out of here before the employees came in for work and risk them finding her.

That was the reason she had grabbed the alarm clock and set it to wake her up an hour before anyone would arrive; Jubilee had seen the sign on the door which had the store's opening and closing hours, and had planned accordingly.

The store itself was situated out the front, with twin doors leading into the break room and another set of twin doors leading out the back to a larger storage area. The storage area being were Jubilee had been able to get inside, one of the windows having a faulty hinge, which allowed her to open it from the outside and climb in.

She hadn't cared what kind of place it was, as long as it was empty, but luck had seemed to shine on her, as the building was a thrift store. As soon as she got inside she surveyed the inside of the store, using a torch she picked up under the cashier's desk to get a better look of the inside, not wanting to risk turning on any of the store's lights in fear of attracting attention.

She had firstly used the toilet and bathroom to relieve herself, before raiding the break room fridge and eating several sandwiches worth of bread and peanut butter that had been available with some hot chocolate.

It may not have been much, but to Jubilee, who had been eating nothing but bland gooey porridge like slop served up on a tray for the past few months with water, the sandwiches and hot chocolate in comparison was the most delicious meal she had ever had.

Folding the blanket up in a semi-neat fashion, she walked back out into the front of the store, not a very large building, but there was plenty of space for what was provided. She placed the blanket back where she found it, with several other similar ones, before walking back into the break room and through a door next to the storage areas, which led to the small employee bathroom.

She quickly did her business and freshened up, using the small sink and hand soap to clean herself as best she could, drying herself with some paper towels. Jubilee took a moment to take in her appearance, she had lost weight during her captivity, and while they fed her every day it wasn't exactly the type of food a growing thirteen year old needed. Her skin which had previously sported a nice healthy glow and a slight tan was now a light pale color.

Her dark black hair had grown somewhat and was now down to her shoulders, she ran her hands through it to find some knots, she could sort that out later however.

"First thing's first, some clothes" she said to herself after leaving the bathroom and heading back out into the front of the store, there was a large selection of donated clothing to choose from, so she browsed through the selection, grabbing some underwear first after ditching the hospital gown, making sure to place it on the cashier counter top.

She grabbed some black socks and dark blue converse, setting them aside as she browsed through the pants selection, finally deciding on a pair of dark blue jeans with a simple black belt. She grabbed a black t-shirt that was a little loose but fit well enough, and a pink scarf that she wrapped around her neck loosely.

Jubilee also grabbed a brown backpack that she quickly stuffed the hospital gown into, making a mental note to dispose of it later.

Lacing up her shoes, she stood up to see how they felt. Satisfied with them, she than walked over to a table with a small box on it, the box was filled with watches. Grabbing a simple light blue watch, she checked the clock on the wall before syncing the watch with it and strapping it on her wrist.

Placing the backpack around her shoulders, Jubilee prepared to exit the store through the back, going the same way she came in. She knew there would be some traces of her being here, the most obvious being the missing food, but she hoped that it wouldn't cause too much of a fuss.

As she walked past the racks of clothing however, realizing another piece of clothing would probably come in handy, in case it got a little colder. Turning to the nearest rack she pushed a few clothes across before pausing on one in particular.

Taking it off the hanger she held it out in front of herself and inspected its size for a moment before tucking it under her arm and turning and walking back out through the break room.

She had wandered through the city for a while, taking in her surroundings after realizing where exactly she had been taken. She had been in Chicago with her foster family before having run away from that place, and her later abduction.

Jubilee now found herself in Washington DC.

She was currently sitting on a park bench as she tried to formulate a plan. She didn't have any money, food or shelter. While she had managed before when she had been in Chicago after running away from her foster home, it was different now.

Now Jubilee was worried about being taken once again. She kept looking over her shoulder and glancing at people with suspicion.

She really needed a plan, some way to hide or stay out of sight and hope that everything would blow over; that whatever group had taken her would lose interest or get taken down.

Jubilee knew she was merely wishful thinking, but there was little more she could do.

"Come on Jubilee, keep it together." She told herself as she leaned back on the bench and looking up at the sky.

She didn't have her mother here anymore to help her. She did have an Aunt, she knew that much, her mother's older half-sister.

Jubilee didn't really know her, only having met her a few times in her whole life.

And her Aunt hadn't taken custody of Jubilee after her mother died, which was a sure fire sign that she didn't want anything to do with her.

Despite this, Jubilee had held on to a small amount of hope when she had been placed in the system, waiting for her social worker to come and say her Aunt had filed for custody and she didn't have to stay in any more group homes.

But she never did.

As she sat on the bench, feeling the gentle breeze and the sound of young kids playing in the distance, Jubilee took a moment to take in the sounds and surroundings, including the warmth of the sun's rays. All things' she had missed while having been locked away in that room.

Her back suddenly straightened, she sat up as a sudden idea came to mind.

It was crazy, and a long shot. She wasn't even sure it would work….well she was pretty much certain it wouldn't work. But it was better than nothing.

She had no clue where her aunt was, or how to contact her. Not that Jubilee put much faith in contacting her anyway.

Jubilee also didn't have much faith in the person that came to mind now. But at least she knew where he was.

If she could get to him, and explain her situation, she might be able to get a place to stay, at least for a little while. And being who he was, she could at least count on more protection.

Though again, he presented a similar situation as her Aunt did, she knew he didn't want her either, after multiple attempts by her mother to contact him over the years only to get nothing in return, Jubilee's mother had come to the conclusion he wanted nothing to do with her or her daughter, or more accurately, their daughter.

The man Jubilee wanted, or more accurately needed right this moment, didn't want her.

Her own father…

Part of the young teen's mind hated the thought of going to him, after not even bothering to reply to her mother's correspondence. Her mother hadn't been seeking financial support, or anything similar, all she wanted was for her daughter to have a chance to know her father, and for him to have a relationship with her.

But the other part, the paranoid and afraid part, saw him as perhaps the only person she could go to right now.

Letting out a long sigh, she stood up from the bench and closed her eyes for a moment.

She knew where he was, it was not exactly a secret. Jubilee knew her father lived in Malibu, and she would need to get there too.

But to do that, she would need money for a bus ticket, and the only way she could get it in her current situation, would be to steal it.

Pick pocketing was something she had done a few times in Chicago, not always successfully, sometimes having ended up running off empty handed.

It also wasn't something she liked doing, but she justified it as stealing in order to survive, not out of greed or malicious intent.

Besides, it wasn't like she was mugging people with a gun or anything.

Opening her eyes once more, she let out an exhale before grabbing the yellow hoodie she had grabbed earlier, zipping it up and picking up the backpack off the bench she set out, now with a clear goal in mind.

She would definitely need a fair few wallets to make up the amount she'd need, or at least a few fat ones.

Jubilee let out a small snort, the thought of grabbing a few rich people's wallets gave her a sort of Robin Hood vibe, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. And right now, she definitely fell into the 'poor' category.

…The fact that she had a hoodie on didn't hurt either.

That night, Jubilee was once again in the break room of the thrift shop, having returned there after closing time and entering the same way she had the previous night.

She knew it wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do, returning to the same place. But she had spent most of the day attaining what cash she could, as well as browsing over various bus schedules.

The staff of the thrift shop hadn't seemed to have picked up on Jubilee having slept there the previous night, or at least it appeared that way. The window was still busted in the storage area, and there was no apparent changes made to the locks.

Seating herself down on a stool and emptying out the backpack on the table, she had several wallets that fell out, as well as a few small purses and some loose bills.

Jubilee quickly counted up the amassed cash, adding it up in her head and checking over the various bus schedules and ticket prices she'd gotten.

Adding that to the estimated cost of food along the way, during the various stops, Jubilee was close to her goal.

If she grabbed a few more wallets the next day, she could be ready to leave late afternoon or early evening.

It would take roughly three days to get to Malibu, which was if there weren't any unplanned stops or complications along the way.

Placing the wallets and cash back in the backpack, she moved over to where she had once again set up a makeshift bed. Placing the backpack on the floor near her, she grabbed the alarm clock and set it to wake her up good and early.

There was a lot that she needed to do tomorrow, and hopefully by this time tomorrow night, she'd be on her way to Malibu.

Or more specifically, on her way to Stark Industries.

Jubilee has her destination set, now it's just a matter of getting there without any trouble.

Also don't worry, Jubilee will be getting her yellow coat later in the story, I thought of her getting it in this chapter, but decided to switch it to a hoodie for the time being.

(Her pink shades/visor will come later too XD)
