A/N: Remember the summary? Where it says crossover? And she tells Tommy she went to another dimension? Welcome to her other life! Thanks again to all my readers and most especially to my reviewers. You guys are the best!
The man grinned. "Good to see you, too, darlin'." His grin faded as his gaze took in the ice pack hanging forgotten in her hand and the bruising lump over her eye. His eyes hardened and he clenched his fists at his sides. He growled, "What happened? Did he-?"
"No!" Jennifer answered him hastily, stepping forward. Out of the corner of her eye, Jenny caught a flash of black just over his shoulder, and briefly acknowledged the young woman standing in the doorway.
"Hey you." Jenny flashed her a quick smile. "I guess I had better make the introductions before we get into explanations. Dr. Tommy Oliver, Jubilation Lee and Logan. Jubilee and Wolverine, Tommy."
Tommy was surprised, but covered it well as the two men shook hands and Jubilee caught Jenny's eye. Jubilee raised her eyebrows slightly and gave a small nod toward Tommy. Jenny responded with a short nod of her own. Jubilee's eyebrows climbed higher and Jenny gave a negative shake in return. Both girls returned their attention to the men who were watching them, amused and slightly puzzled at the exchange.
"What?" both girls chorused.
Logan shook his head. "Secret code." he said shortly to Tommy. Then he addressed Jenny. "We need t'talk."
Jennifer sighed. Tommy spoke up. "Let's sit down."
"Deck." Jenny said. "Especially if you think you're smoking a cigar, Logan."
Tommy spoke to Logan and Jubilee. "Follow me, please." As he moved past Jenny, he took her hand with the ice pack in it and placed it back over the lump and smiled at her.
Once they were all settled outside, Logan lit his cigar and then returned his attention to Jennifer. "So what did you say happened to your eye?"
"Nice try, but I didn't say. First things first." She turned to Tommy. "As you might have guessed by now, Jubilee and Wolverine are from the other world. I tend to think of it as 'Marvel Universe'. That's where I was for so long - well, sort of."
"Sort of! You were with us for five years!"
"Five years your time." Jenny gently informed the girl. "I returned to discover that only two months had passed here."
"Wait a minute." Tommy raised his eyebrows. "X-Men, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Captain America? That Marvel Universe?"
"Yep. Eight months ago, I disappeared from this world and appeared there. Six months ago our time, I returned."
"Hold on!" Wolverine interrupted. "Here you were only gone for two months while you were with us for five years?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because," jumped in Jubilee "You also say that you've been back for six months, but you've been gone for six months."
Jenny frowned as she thought. "I'd guess it may have something to do with my leaving my own universe."
Wolverine frowned. "Then it works the other way 'round, too. While we're here, time slows there."
"Or speeds up here." said Jubilee.
"Whatever." Logan waved his hand impatiently. "It means we have more time than we hoped."
"For what?" Tommy asked.
Logan studied the young man for a minute. His senses were dulled here and he was unable to tell if he were trustworthy or not. He quirked an eyebrow at Jenny, who smiled sweetly back.
"Can't tell, can you?" she teased. At his low growl, she chuckled. "Don't worry about him - you trust me and I trust him."
Wolverine scowled briefly and nodded.
"Oh, whatever!" Jubilee cried, rolling her eyes. "Jen - Beast needs your help."
