"Hey, Wolvie!"
A small Asian girl screamed as she bolted across the lawn. The burly man looked up from the motorcycle he was staring down out, bags in hand. He groaned.
He had thought that he might've been able to get away without her attacking him again.
No such luck.
"What?" he growled at Jubilee, who was now next to him, panting, and glaring at the much bigger man. No such luck with getting away them. He should have been used to now, he never got away anymore, now that Jubilee was here at the mansion and since she took over the responsibility of Rogue's well-being. She wasn't the only one though, as numerous other mutants also stopped him before he fled the confinements of the mansion.
It was getting harder and harder to slip away…
She glared at him still, and he scrunched up his forehead in confusion. "What?" he asked again, clearly not understanding what was going on. And she was clearly not going to tell him out right.
"Do you realize what you're telling her, by leaving like this?"
Or maybe she would.
"Right after Scott died and with Jean back," she said, still looking at Logan who was still looking confused. She gave an exasperated sigh, trying to get him to understand.
"You always leave her, right," she said, stopping him from speaking with a hand. "Save the speech, just wait, and listen, okay? She's hurt, real bad, on the instide. He was like her fucking brother, and he may have just got himself killed by his wife. Think about how she feels right now, not you with your…Jean complex. Please stay, Logan. She needs you."
She paused for dramatic effect. "We need you. There's no way in hell we're going to beat him without you, man," she finished, running a hand through her short hair.
Logan nodded, "Okay," he said, and her face and shoulders visibly relaxed, like a weight had been lifted off her.
"But I can't say that I'll stay forever. Just until we're done with Magnet dude, and then maybe until she graduates. That's all."
Jubilee's face brightened, and she threw her arms around him, squeezing him tightly, squealing "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" and then ran off.
"God," Logan muttered to himself, heading to the kitchen. "I got to get me a beer."

A/N: By the way, for those of you who don't read the comics – Jubilee is: a mutant, who's powers gave her the ability to generate explosive energy sparkles. A teenage "mall rat," she was the X-Men's youngest member in the early 1990s, often playing sidekick to Wolverine. She eventually joined the junior team Generation X.
She isn't known to be affiliated with Rogue in particular, but in various deleted scenes of the films, she appears to be the same age, so in the films, they would have some sort of relationship. I've played that relationship up a bit, but all in all, it seems realistic.
