Chapter 4: Welcome to Xavier's, Part 2
Roughly 90 minutes later, the X-Jet landed at its base of operations underneath the Xavier School for the Gifted. The passenger ramp extended, and those onboard soon exited the vehicle and entered its hangar. Jubilee lowered her sunglasses upon being met by the harsh fluorescent light of the hangar.
"So, you're the new arrival." a man announced.
Jubilee turned and saw a bald-headed man in a wheelchair approach her.
"Who are you?"
"Professor Charles Xavier, headmaster of this institution and leader of the X-Men."
"Nice to know, but I was told that I needed to set up shop somewhere…"
"Dormitory 3, floor 2, room 6." Xavier replied.
And with that, he rolled out of the hangar, leaving Jubilee to collect her luggage.
"Some help he was…"
About two hours later, Jubilee approached the dormitory where she would be staying. A small grin materialized as she thought about her new life at Xavier's.
At least I'm not the only mutant here.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at her room and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Jubilee found herself staring at a blond girl wearing tortoiseshell glasses.
"Who are you?" she asked her newfound roommate.
The blond girl extended her hand.
"Gwen Stacy." she answered.
"Jubilation Lee, but people call me Jubilee."
"Will do." Gwen replied.
And with that, Gwen grabbed Jubilee's suitcase and carried it in.
"Trust me, you're not the only one who was in for a surprise today." she muttered as she set the suitcase down.
"Who else?"
Just then, a brunette girl phased through the wall, clad in little more than a towel.
"Gwen, we're out of soap again."
"Kitty, would it hurt to put a robe on next time?"
Jubilee raised an eyebrow.
"Allow me to introduce you two. Jubilee, meet Katherine Pryde, or Kitty Pryde for short. Kitty, meet Jubilee."
The two girls shook hands.
"So, you're our new roommate?" Kitty piped up.
"I guess…"
Gwen turned to Kitty with a look of irritation in her eye.
"So, I take it you're mutants too?" Jubilee asked.
"Kitty is, I'm not." Gwen answered.
Jubilee gave a small smile as she began to unpack.
