5 Years Later.

He was a patient man, but being stuck in a car with Remy and Jubilee was getting to him. The girl talked constantly and Remy always talked about himself in third person. Remy wanna this and Remy gonna that. It was getting on his nerves. It didn't help that they, obvious to everyone but themselves, had a huge crush on each other.

"Mr.Suuuummers!" God, that girl has a high pitched voice.

"Mr. Summers, Remy is touching me!"

"Remy would never do that. Remy have taste!"

"Why you little…!" She squealed.

"SHUT UP! Look would you two please try to be quiet and act your age" They look at him with big eyes it is not often that he yells.

They remain silent for almost 12 minutes. A personal record for Jubilee he knows. Then, to his relief, they arrive at the mall.

Remy only needs new shoes and Jubilee just came along for the ride. But this is a mall and shopping is Jubilees religion so Scott cleared his calendar for the day.

"Can I trust the two of you to act like young adults if I send you shopping by your self? I will be right here having some coffee"

After assuring him that the thought of them getting in trouble is ridiculous. He watch them run of in different directions. He figures he has half an hour before Jubilee decides she needs more money or Remy hits on the wrong girl and gets in a fight.
Jubilee.

"Thank God he decided he needed coffee, Remy. Could you imagine having him tagging along? We would like look like total dorks having to be monitored like we're babies."

"You are a baby"

"Fuck you."

" You wish."

"Why do you always have to be such a total pig"

" Well, I know when I'm not wanted I go get my shoes and you can't come"

"Like I wanna be around you." Jubilee knew that the real reason she couldn't come was that he was going to shoplift and didn't want to get her in trouble but being A STUPID GUY he couldn't just say it like it is. Damn he was cute.

Speaking of cute, who was that guy? She looked at the tall muscular man by the store. He wore a worn leather jacket and jeans that stuck to his ass in a way, that made her wish, Kitty were there, so they could erupt in girlish giggles together. As he turned around she noticed that his T-shirt dressed chest was also a thing to be admired. He was a Male God.

He had a bored expression on his face, which properly mend that he like most men had been dragged here against his will. Not that he seemed like a guy, one could force to do anything he didn't want to do. Something in the way he carried himself told her he didn't get those muscles from weight lifting.

Like he sensed her looking he lifted his head and looked at her. She decided to pretend like she was just going to the store so she put on what she hoped looked like a "I'm just looking at the store -Not your ass" face and hurried by him. He was even better looking up close.

Inside the store they had a sale and she forgot about the male God, when she saw all the great stuff they had. It was still early in the day and the only other customer was a young woman with a white streak in her hair. She was looking at gloves and if Male God was her property, then perhaps Jubilee should buy some too, maybe that would get Remy to notice her.

She went to the pile of gloves and started looking. The loud tapping on the window startled her, it was Male God and he looked annoyed, it was obvious that he wanted his girlfriend to hurry up and finish her shopping.

The young woman just shuck her head at him with a smile and when she noticed Jubilee looking she said:

"My boyfriend just don't get that proper shopping takes time."

"Yeah, I came here with to guys and…" Jubilee was interrupted when two guys in Friends of Humanity T-Shits entered the store. She recognised them from a fight she and Remy had had with them. They recognised her too.

"Look Lance that's the mutie bitch from the fight in New York."

"And she doesn't have her little friend here now."

"Leave her alone!" The young woman said.

"Mind your own business mutie lover! Or perhaps your a mutant too" He said and looked at the white strike in the young woman's hair.

The woman's posture changed and it was obvious she was going to attack them.

*SNIKT*

Jubilee couldn't believe it, Male God was standing behind the two guys and he just shot claws out of his hands.

"You punks have exactly 10 seconds to get out of here before I gut you!"

They didn't need to be told twice. The look in his eyes wasn't angry; Not really, it was more of a "I hope your stupid enough to stay, so I can have me some fun look." They ran from the store. Jubilee took a breath of relief.

"LOGAN! Those were mine." The woman said.

"Yeah baby but we don't need the attention and you shouldn't be fighting in your condition"

"Bastard!"

"I love you too," He said with a smile.

"I think we all better get out of here before they return with mall security, none of us need that."He took his girlfriends hand and they and Jubilee left in different directions.

She was so surprised by the whole situation that she forgot to thank them.

Mr.Summers and Remy was waiting at the cafe and they left right away when she told them about the FOH looking for her.

In the car they asked her to tell what had happened and she told them about how she was in the store when they recognised her…

"…And then her boyfriend came in and like CLAWS came out of his HANDS and they left and his girlfriend was LIKE all, shit no fight, how boring, and…"

"Claws!" Mr.Summers said and almost crashed the car.

"What do you mean claws Jubilee." They could see that he had become all tense.

"Well – Not claws really but more like knives coming out of his knuckles. Why are you so tense Mr.Summers?"

"I'm not tense" he said and they could see he tried to sound relaxed, but he had been their teacher for years and they knew, that was not his relaxed tone of voice.

" I just knew someone with that mutation once"

"Well this guy didn't look like someone you would be friends with, Mr. Summers. He had this hole –I want to kick your butts and impregnate your women before breakfast –look going on."

"Well perhaps your right, Jubilee. Besides the man I knew is dead now." He said and sounded sad.

Jubilee couldn't resist. She had to ask, " How did your friend die Mr.Summers?"

"My friend could heal very fast, that was part of his mutation. Some so called doctors wanted to know what his limit was and they found it" The hate in his voice was unlike anything, they had ever heard him express.

"But how…"

"You don't want to know what they did and I don't want to remember it." He snapped at her.

"Sorry Mr.Summers"

"No, I'm sorry Jubilee, I didn't mean to snap at you. Its only natural that you are curious."

For the second time in a day Jubilee broke a personal record. She didn't talk for almost 20 minutes.
