"Let me out of here! You can't keep me here!"
*When I get out they'll be sorry that they ever did this to me. How could they shrink me and keep me locked up like this?* Viper was fuming. *I can't believe that Logan found my Hands just in time for that bomb to explode, this has to be the unluckiest day of my life. I wonder how he shrunk that kid and me? Hey, maybe I could get my Hands to steal it. It could be a very useful weapon. I wonder which one of my enemies I would squash first?*
"Rooaaarrr, Popsicle you had better get your icy little butt back here with that picture" Wolverine's voice echoed down all of the halls.
"Yo, Wolverine chill out it's not such a bad picture, really," said an ever-growing Jubilee.
*Her she's the one that did this, I'm going to get her!*
"Just keep running Jubes! When we find a place to catch our breath you can spend your first one explaining this to me." Bobby said as he grabbed Jubes by thw wrist and draged her away from the snowpile mountain at the other end of the hall...a snowpile mountain that was now erupting molten hot and angry Wolverine.
"But Bobby! You need a suit! The space suit like I have. Head for the med lab."
When they reached the med lab and locked the door behind them Bobby turned to face Jubes. "Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do!"
"The short version goes a little like this: Hank built a shrink ray, but whatever he shrinks carries the radiation and exposes anything else it's near. I was in the suit to keep from contaminating everybody else."
"You already told me that. WHat do I need a suit for if you are in one?"
"You're shrinking too."
"I am not!"
"Then how come your shoulder is only doorknob high?"
"What!"
"Cripes Jubes why didn't you say something earlier?"
"I tried to tell you!"
Just then the door shook as Wolvie pounded on it from the other side. "I know you're in there Popcicle!" Hand over the photo and I'll let you live!"
"What photo?" Jubes asked. Bobby looked at her like her IQ had just shrunk as well.
"Don't worry about it Jubes. But if you help me out I'll take you to the mall."
"You were gonna do that already Wolvester. Try again." She giggled.
"What are you doing?" Bobby whispered
"Get over there and photo copy this thing! Like a hundred copies, move Icey!"
"You're not helping that overgrown pile of ice cubes are you?" Wolvie asked from the other side of the door while trying to figure out a way to open it without clawing it to shreds and compromising the radiation barrier it provided.
"Me? Help Bobby? Why never Wolvie."
"All right kid, what do yo want?"
"I want...a chance to beat up some baddies, back to back with the ever awesome Wolverine."
"Jubes that could be dangerous--"
"That's what I want or you get no photo."
"All right. One night."
"Yess! Just like the old days! Spark and Slash is back on the beat! Thanks Wolvie! You're the best, you know that?"
"Jubes, the photo already. No trip till it's in my hands."
"You got it Wolvester! Come here you little Frosty wannabe!" Jubes said loudly and dramatically. "Take that! And that! And one of those! And some of this!" Jubes paffed him good.
"Oww! Jubes that really hurt! Where did you learn to do that? Oh, Emma, nevermind. Oww!"
"Fork over that photo of my buddy!"
"Jeez Jubes," Bobby said rubbing his icy behind. "All ya had to do was ask."
"Hide the copies in your underwear." Jubes whispered.
"Why there?"
"Cuz Wolvie will never look there." she whispered.
"Now you frozen freak! Into the radiation cell!"
Bobby didn't move.
"No really I mean it! Into the cell! It's the only way to fix the shrink radiation I've exposed you to while fighting you for this photo of Wolvie that I never saw and still refuse to look at! Into the cell."
As she was shutting the door Bobby said, "Do you REALLY think he bought that mumbo jumbo you were blurting out back there?"
"Does it matter? Unlike you, he won't kill ME, Bobster."
"Hurry up in there darlin'. You know the mall closes in 2 hours. Not that I care, but I can think of a certain little firecracker who does."
"Just lemme check and make sure the suit is fully closed so I don't shrink you again. OK." Jubes said and opened the door. When Wolvie came in she handed him the photo with her eyes closed and her arm fully extended.
Wolvie eyed her askance and with one hell of a Wolverine smirk. Something was up and he knew it. And as soon as he spotted the photocopier by Hank's desk he figured it out. "Thanks darlin'." He said as he reached for the blowtorch.
"Mall now?" Jubes asked tugging on Wolvie's jeans.
He reached down and patted her waist high head. "Right after I check on the little wife."
Jubes laughed. "The LITTLE wife! That's a good one."
"Let me out of here! You can't keep me here!"
