Ok people this is part 7 of my crossover between Labyrinth and the X-men...
The same disclaimer form the first 6 stories applies here as well.... The only character I can truly say I came up with is James
Enjoy!
X-treme Circumstances Part 7
James paced about his room. He still couldn't sleep with what was going on in the infirmary but he decided to hide out in his room to avoid getting asked questions.
He heard alight knock on the door. Opening the door, he found Scott standing there.
"What is it?", James asked.
Scott smiled, "Thought you'd want to know that they returned with the crystal and that Jareth is healing well."
James ran out the door towards the infirmary.
*******************************************
Sarah looked at the newly young Jareth and smiled. Jareth was safe. That thought gave pleasure to her and she wished that his safety will last.
"He should be waking up soon," Beast said when he noticed her smile.
Sarah was happy but she felt strange. What do you say to a man who loves you after you had turned him away?
"Perhaps those feelings aren't there anymore...," she thought sadly, "Maybe he saved my life this time just
because he felt he had too?....Not for matters of the heart."
Jubilee looked at Sarah with concern as she noticed Sarah's smile melting away to reveal a frown.
"What's wrong, Sarah?"
"Nothing," Sarah tried to fake a smile.
Jubilee didn't by it.... Sarah wasn't telling the truth and she felt it.... maybe she needed some privacy.
She turned to Beast, "Let's leave Sarah alone with jareth for awhile."
Beast looked at Jubilee slightly confused until he realized why she had suggested that, "Oh....ok."
*******************************************
Jubilee and Beast walked out of the infirmary. As the door, Beast spotted Jean.
Walking over to Jean, Beast smiled, "Full recovery in process."
Jean smiled, "I know. Scott and I met with Wolverine and Gambit."
Jubilee nodded and looked around, "Where are they now?"
"Gambit and Wolverine went to look at some security videos for some reason and Scott went to get your friend James."
"James's here?!," Jubilee asked, "Why?...How?"
Jean nodded, "He came here looking for you and Sarah. He didn't see you at class and didn't find you anywhere else on campus. He got worried."
"Speaking of James," Beast added in, "You won't believe what he did..."
*******************************************
Sarah looked at Jareth, "I'm so sorry for saying the words," she apologized, unsure of whether or not he could hear her. She felt tears forming in her eyes, "If I had known......"
Jareth's lips parted, "It's okay........could happen to anyone..." His eyes opened.
Sarah stepped back. "Jareth, you're awake!," she observed, "How long ago did you wake up?"
Jareth sat up and looked at the confused girl, "About the time the crystal's energy came into me..." He jumped off of the table onto the cold marble floor, "Magic works in wondrous ways and quickly too. His trademark smile appeared on his lips.
"So you were playing possum....," Sarah commented.
"In a way."
"Why?"
Jareth sighed, "Sarah, when you have been shot, gone into a coma, and just woken up, you don't exactly jump up and do a jig right then and there.... Frankly, I was tired. I've faced death,and for awhile I died and if it wasn't for you and James, I'd still be dead."
"James?," questioned Sarah, "what did he do?"
Jareth smiled, "It's amazing what you can over hear when you are in a coma... Your friend James was very worried about you and so stopped by here and decided to spend the night to meet up with you and that other girl...Jub...something..."
"Jubilee?," Sarah voluntered.
Jareth cocked an eyebrow, "Whatever... You know I'm not good with names..."
"I know.... you kept calling Hoggle by the wrong name."
"As I recall, at first you did the same thing.......Well anyways to make a long story short, My heart stopped and James started it up again."
"How?"
"I'm not sure... I'm guessing some type of energy transfusion thing...Come to think of it, I'm going to have to check up on that guy. the amount of energy he used on me must have been tiring.... Enough about James now...," Jareth said as he peered into Sarah's eyes, " How were you enjoying my Labyrinth this time?"
"Not as much as the first trip though," she answered. realizing how that sounded, she blushed.
Jareth grinned, "tell me more."
*******************************************
"He did what?," Jubilee asked.
"He started Jareth's heart up just by touching him. If he hadn't of done that, that crystal you guys brount would have been useless.," Beast repeated.
Jubilee tried to grasp the situation. James was a mutant?
"Why didn't he tell me?," she whispered to herself.
Beast heard the comment and understood, "I don't think even he knew. He was just as surprised as us."
Jubilee felt sorry for James. it was hard enough for her four years ago but at least it occured when she was just forming an idea to what type of person she was. She could not imagine what life would have been like if she had learned of her abilities in college.
Jean sensed what Jubilee was feeling, "I understand Jubilee. Just take in mind that we have to do our best to help James get used to the idea of having such abilities."
"Yeah," Jubilee said sadly, "Not often do people realize that the life of normality they knew will no longer be there. It will really be hard on him if his parents react badly to this."
"All we can do is hope for the best for him.", Jean said.
"Hope for what?," a voice spoke out.
Jubilee recognized the voice and turned around, "Hi James."
*******************************************
Wolverine and Gambit walked into a media room and over to a set of TVs. Putting a disc into a player, the images of several rooms appeared.
Gambit looked at the date indicator and realized it was footage of the compound durning the time they were in the Labyrinth.
He looked at Wolverine who was advancing the images twenty frames at a time, "What are we looking for, Wolverine?"
"Mystiques smell was in some of the hallways. I want to know what rooms she's been in and what she was doing there... So look for anything out of the ordinary.", Wolverine explained.
Gambit nodded and studied a screen. As the images flew by he saw nothing out of the ordinary. when the disc ended, Wolverine started the disc again and both of them looked at another screen.
On the third time through the disc, Gambit sighed. This was taking far too long! Looking at the screen something occurred to him, "Wolverine, move the images back a few seconds."
Wolverine nodded and the images moved back frame by frame. After the images reached where Gambit wanted them, he signaled to Wolverine to stop. He pointed at the first and third screens. "If that's not out of the ordinary, I don't know what is."
Wolverine's eyes widened, "I was right.... Gambit, find Cyclops and bring him here."
*******************************************
James looked at Jubilee and smiled, "I'm glad you're back."
Jubilee's cheeks flushed. She liked the attention she was getting, "Thanks. I'm glad you came here." Jubilee smiled.
Jean looked at the two and grinned. This was turning into a regular love story. It made her wish that Scott was there.... She felt a hand touch her shoulder. turning around her heart soared as she saw Scott smiling back at her. "While you're at it...," she thought, "I wish for a million dollars..."
She hugged Scott and soon forgot about Jubilee and James. She and her Beau left the hallway leaving Jubilee and James with Beast.
Beast noticed Jean leaving and took that as a hint, "I think I'll go check on Jareth now.", he said as he opened the door and walked in.
*******************************************
Walking into the room, Beast stopped, "Oh dear,... Sorry."
Sarah turned away from Jareth, feeling slightly embarrassed. He had caught ther kissing Jareth not on the cheek but right on the lips! Composing herself, She called out to Beast, "It's okay. I should be the one apologizing."
Beast shrugged, "I came in here to check up on Jareth." He then turned to the Goblin King. "I trust that you are feeling better?"
Jareth nodded, "thanks to the help of you and the others."
Beast smiled, "Your welcome... ummm....Jareth, do you mind if I do some quick tests to make sure everything is back to normal?...relatively speaking that is."
Jareth shrugged, "Sure."
As Beast went to work checking his reflexes, Jareth's mind wandered to what had just happened between him and Sarah. they had been talking and all of a sudden, Sarah was kissing him! Although unexpected, it was a pleasurable sensation to him. Even so, it was confusing. Wasn't this the same girl who had rejected his love tall those years ago? What could have caused her to have such a change of heart? She didn't even want to see him after he was shot... The change of heart must have happened in the Labyrinth.
Jareth frowned, What if she was just caught up in the moment? Maybe that kiss meant nothing at all... His heart sank.
Beast finished his check up and smiled, "Jareth, you are definitely in better health than you were yesterday."
Jareth came out of his little trance, "I could have told you that." Beast laughed, "Ithink I'll give you two some privacy now." He began to walk to the door.
"Wait beast," Jareth asked, "Where is James? I would like to thank him."
Beast smiled, "That is a question I can definitely answer... He's outside the room with Jubilee."
"Thanks." Jareth smiled again and followed Beast to the door leaving Sarah alone in the infirmary.
Watching the two leave, confusion swept all over her. Why did She have to kiss Jareth?
She cursed herself for being weak, "Come on Sarah," she mumbled to herself, "You were able to conceal these feeling before..."
She sighed. Why did she have to kiss him like that? Where was her self-control?
Her eyes grew wide as she realized that those feelings were not those of the girl who was going though a little crush, without her realizing it, her feelings for Jareth grew over the years.
"Could I be in love?," She thought.
*******************************************
Jareth felt strange as soon as he walked through the doorway.
"Jareth, this is James," Beast introduced, "And this is Jubilee."
Beast walked down the corridor smiling.
Jareth studied James. He could feel the energy pulsating inside of him. Jubilee and the others had energy in themselves as well but his energy was different.
James noticed Jareth's stare, "What?"
Jareth looked away, "nothing..."
"No, really...," James prodded.
"What are you, really?"
James sighed, "Figures you would ask something like that, Its what everyone else asks."
"I don't mean to be rude."
"Don't worry about it. I'm not sure myself. But every thing seems to point to Mutant."
Jareth shook his head, "James, you are no mutant."
Jubilee's attention was caught, "So, does that mean that he's like one of you?"
Jareth looked at her, "A Faye?... No. his powers is not that strong. truthfully, I don't know what he is. He isn't a mutant and he is not Faye. I wouldn't know."
James frowned at the news, "So I'm just a freak even to the abnormal people? Great."
Jubilee frowned at James's statement, "Don't say that James, you are not a freak. You just have some abilities that are unlike the rest of ours. There is no shame in that."
"At least you know what you are," James muttered.
Looking at Jubilee's face, James felt guilty. He had hurt her feelings, "I'm sorry Jubilee...," he said as he took her hand in his, putting on a reassuring grin, I just have to get used to the idea."
Jubilee smiled, "I understand."
James felt better seeing Jubilee smile. He wanted to always be happy. A thought entered his mind troubling him once more.
Jubilee noticed James's grin deteriorating, "James, what's wrong?"
"I'm just wondering how my parents will take it."
Jareth cleared his throat and thus bringing attention to himself, "One way to find out is to tell them."
"Are you sure?"
"They have to know. They ARE your parents."
James sighed, "Very well. I'll tell them. But I'd rather tell them in person."
Jareth nodded, "That's a reasonable thing..."
"Do you want us to come with you for support?", Jubilee asked.
Jareth looked at Jubilee in disbelief... did he hear her right? "Us?" Oh god, now even the Goblin King is being given orders. He was glad Sarah was not related to her.
"Sure," James answered, "there is strength in numbers."
"Al right!," Jubilee gleefully exclaimed, "I'll go get Sarah."
*******************************************
Xavier smiled as Beast came to inform him of Jareth's condition.
"Good," the professor commented, "Perhaps now I can ask Jareth if he has any knowledge to James's abilities."
Beast smiled, "Jubilee told me that he's told James all he knows. He felt James's energy. He said that James doesn't have mutant energy or the energy of a Faye."
"hmmm...... interesting.. So , what is James up to now?"
"James decided to tell his parents about his abilities. Jubilee, Jareth, and Sarah went with him for support."
"Oh, ok... So they left already?"
"yeah."
*******************************************
Wolverine turned around as Gambit accompanied Scott into the media room.
"What is it Logan?," Scott asked, pissed that he was interrupted from his time with Jean, "This better be important."
"Yeah, Yeah," Wolverine said in an annoyed tone, "Just look at that screen 'one eye'."
Scott looked at the image of him outside talking with James, "What about it?"
"That's you then?"
"Of course it is! Now why is this so important?!"
Wolverine wanted to reip his head off with the attitude he was giving, "It's important because I was trying to determine which was you and which was Mystique."
"Mystique's been here?"
"No I just like saying her name for no reason whatsoever," he replied sarcastically, "Duh!"
He brought up the other screen.
*******************************************
Cyclops is seen entering the infirmary. Other than Jareth, Cyclops is the only one there.
Walking over to the table Jareth lay on, Cyclops traces her fingers over where the bullet wound once was.
A look of surprise mixed with awe appears on his face. picking up a chart, (most likely jareth's) Cyclops studies the doctor's notes. After reading the notes, he puts up the notes and turns to the door. On the way out he strokes one of Jareth's cheeks and leaves soon after.
*******************************************
Wolverine stopped the disc, "Now you know why we asked you about the last image. The stroking of the cheek thing could have tipped us off but we thought about what you were like."
Scott wanted so much to punch Logan right then but refrained from doing so, "So what does this mean?"
"To quote Wolverine 'duh!'", Gambit commented, "Think about it, why would Mystique want to get information on Jareth's condition? It certainly isn't for revenge, she could have easily killed him at the time. She is monitoring his recovery time... why?"
"She's interested in him for some reason. Perhaps the people she's working with at the time want more information about him.". Cyclops thought out loud.
"They are determining whether he's truly friend or foe.", Wolverine surmised, "They are planning to try and recruit him... and knowing the type of company Mystique enjoys, they won't ask nicely."
"We better tell the professor and warn Jareth," Cyclops commented.
