Chapter 2: Farewell
"With the Hollywood Mall in ruins, the press has this to say: where were the X-Men this time?"
Walker turned off the television set.
"Figures that they wouldn't have known it was you guys unless you brought somebody else along."
"Somehow, I find it difficult to believe that Wolverine would willingly come here." Storm deadpanned.
Jubilee rolled her eyes and looked around the parlor. Before her were three of the X-Men, her parents, and a representative of some weird think tank.
"So, what's the deal? Can we just go back to normal now?"
"How long did you know that your daughter had an active X-Gene?" Walker asked.
"Two, maybe three years." Mister Lee answered.
"Did you sign her up with the Mutant Registration Board?"
"Yes." Mrs. Lee answered, sniffling.
"Is there anything we can do to make sure she's safe?"
"Wait for the Sentinel program to be scrapped." Gambit snarked.
"Xavier's." was Walker's response.
Jubilee tilted her head.
"Xavier's School for the Gifted. It's a private school up in New York state. Most of the students are mutants, and those who aren't are some of the best students in the country."
An awkward pause settled over the room.
"I'll go."
Jubilee's parents turned to their daughter in surprise.
"I promise I'll write."
Mister Lee sighed as Walker produced the paperwork from his briefcase.
"Welcome to Xavier's School for the Gifted, Jubilee."
