"Damn me and my luck, Jubes." As she muttered under her breath, she took the back of her left hand and swiped it across her eyes. Looking him straight in the eyes she asked him, "What the hell do you want this time, fur face?"
"Well frail, seems like you and me have something to finished. I wanted so badly to finish you off last time, but then Logan just had to come to your rescue." Hi face took on a sarcastic leer. "Did you like the woman that we sent him?"
Puzzled she asked, "What do you mean?"
"Me and my new buddy decided that Logan needed a new playmate. One that would keep him busy and send you to us. When you are completely disposed of, he will be mine to play with." Right after he finished the last sentence he came charging at her.
Quickly she raised her hands up at him and threw several paffs at him with her strongest fireworks. He stopped in his tracks, the spark harmlessly bouncing off of him. "Guess you've gotten weak." He started to charge her again.
As he got closer a young man with blond hair stepped out of the shadows. "Sabertooth! Halt!" He halted just seconds before reaching her. The young man was dressed in a black suit complete with tie.
"Who the hell are you?" She demanded at him.
"Well little one, I am Tommy. I don't have a nickname yet, but I assume I soon will. Sit down both of you and I will tell you a little tale."
She didn't want to sit and by the look neither did Sabertooth but sit they did. He was snarling at the man while she just glared at him. "Now since you both have experienced some of my power which is control of others, then let me explain my story."
"I was born almost thirty years ago, to a whore, on the streets of Paris. My life was a hard one; no one wanted to deal with a whore's boy. During my childhood I was beaten up repeatedly by the neighbor hoods' children."
Angry despite everything Jubes yelled at him. "So what. You where born a poor little boy, born from a cheap slut. Who gives a shit, certainly not me. Let me go asswipe!"
His brow crinkled angrily. "Don't patronize me, little girl." With a swipe of his hand Jubes head jerked backwards and in the corner of her mouth a small little trickle of blood appeared. He never even touched her. Her body started to tremble in fear.
"Shut up and don't speak." Even if she wanted to, she didn't think she could, "Well where was I? Oh yes, as a little boy…. Well needless to say I wasn't very popular. Now I know your wondering what the hell does this has to do with you? Here is the answer. It wasn't until ten years ago that I found out who my father was. The one who abandoned my mother and me to a poor fate. Your precious Logan is my Father." He waved his hands, "Now you can speak."
"No way. Logan would never abandon his family. Thirty years ago he was in the US. Your mom must be a liar as well as a whore."
"Insolent bitch." With another swipe of his hand her head jerked backwards and the other corner of her mouth started bleeding. "When I found out about the fact that Logan was seeing someone I thought to myself, it was the perfect time to get my revenge. I planted in his head that you and him were not meant to be. Then I found him a willing bed partner that he would not be able to resist. Gave you the thought that hey why don't you find him when he didn't come home last night. You fell right into my little trap" His right hand came up to rub his chin thoughtfully. "The only thing that I had not planned on was Xavier finding out about it. He did try to warn you, you know. But you just had to be thick headed."
She started to cuss herself out for her stupidity. If only she had listen to Xavier she would not be in this mess. Even if she took the time to listen to Logan she still might not be in this mess. "So what now asshole?"
"Now is when the fun begins. I had not counted on Logan having a natural enemy such as Sabertooth, but it's just a bonus. This is where I will say goodbye to leave you and Sabertooth to talk it out." He laughed an evil laugh, "Or fight it out. So I will take my leave of you. I don't think that we will meet again" He gave a mocking bow to her and vanished into the darkness of the woods.
All of a sudden they were standing up and facing each other. Sabertooth came at her again and she tried to paffed him but again it did nothing. With his claws extended he slashed at her face, catching her in the cheek. She dodges back before he could attack again and raised her hand to her face feeling the tare.
"Damn you, do you know how expensive cosmetic surgery is? Fur face." She yelled at him.
"After I am done with you, you won't be needing anything but a grave. Frail." Was his only reply.
She drew upon all her anger and channeled it into her hands and then paffed him. This time he went down. Learning from her last experience she ran towards the school. Yelling in her mind for help. Hoping against hope that the professor would tap into her mind.
Her breath started to come in short gasps as she ran out of breath. She could feel Sabertooth right on her heels. The school loomed up ahead. She could see it. Almost there. Claws racked down her back and then she went down. As she fell she saw, in the distance, the x-men come poring out of the school, with Scott in the lead.
Sabertooth took his claws and punctured her side. With his claws still inside her body he flipped her over with them. "I've got you now girly, girl." He stabbed her shoulder with his claw. Then his other hand started to get into the fray.
Feeling like a mouse caught by a cat and playing with the poor mouse, Jubilee was getting to the point where she felt no more pain but a blessed darkness. Right before she passed out she saw Logan come upon them and so engrossed Sabertooth was, that he didn't notice. Logan unsheathed his claws and sliced them across Sabertooths' throat and with that, Sabertooth was no more.
"Jubes?" Logan had shoved Sabertooth away from where he fell on her body. "God, please answer me. Jubilee?" He bowed his head as the x-men gathered around the body.
She heard her name being pleaded on a loved ones lips. It was only a matter of time before she knew her time on earth was up. Taking up most of her strength that she had left she opened her eyes, "Logan?"
"Darlin'. I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you I had no control. I love you." He was crying. His tears falling on her pasty white cheek and her bloodied cheek.
"I love you. Always have, always will." She took a shaky breath. So sweat, so peaceful, the darkness beckoned to her. "Logan don't cry for me please. All will be all right in the end. I will be waiting for you. Logan I have so much to tell you. I…the darkness it calls, I want…to tell y…" Her head lolled to the side her eyes wide open and staring into nothing.
"No!" He picked up her body cradling it to him. So absorbed in their grief the x-men didn't notice a nonbreathing Sabertooth rise from the ground behind the x-men under Tommy's' control. Before anyone could react Sabertooth stabbed Logan right where the heart was. When that was done Sabertooth collapsed once more.
The day of the funerals was bright and sunny. A small somber group attended the funeral of their dear departed comrades. Xavier was leading the eulogy over two coffins that were to be buried in the forest that was next to the school.
When the last shovel of dirt went over the graves everyone in the group looked to the forest where they could see two ghostly figures walking hand in hand among the forest towards the rays from the sun.
As for Tommy, Xavier had mind trapped him when he tried to get away from the property. He was trailed and sentence to death by gas. It was to take place on the anniversary of Jubilee and Logan's death.
Again thanks for all the feedback. Without it I probably would have put her
with Remy.
