"Easy does
it" whispered Jubilee in frustrated excitement as she tried in
desperation to remember the lock combination to The Mansion's Laboratory,
Cyclops had told it to her a month or two ago and it was only to be used by her
in a case of extreme emergency. To her, this was a case of emergency, Professor
Xavier had recently acquired some plans for a revolutionary new time travel
device and Jubilee had certain reason to time travel.
You see, the date was
getting close that over almost two decades ago, the legendary punk group, The
Misfits lost their original frontman Glenn Danzig. Jubilee had first gotten
into the Misfits when she noticed how much Danzig reminded her of Wolvie, both
short in stature, muscular, and both had the burliest sideburns she had ever
seen in her life.
It was, Ironically
Wolverine that had gotten her into The Misfits. Last summer she was having one
of her sleepless nights, and decided that she needed a drink of water. Walking
out into the hallway she saw the lights on in Logan's room and decided to find
out why he was up so late. She found him sitting on the floor going through one
of the largest collections, of vinyl 45's, records, cassettes and compact discs
in the United States.
"Wolvie, what're you
doin' up so late?"
"I'm trying to find
some old albums I don't need anymore to get rid of, they're takin' up too much
space."
"Mind if I take a
look?" asked a newly rejuvenated Jubilee.
"Knock yerself out,"
replied Logan.
After an hour and a half of
sifting through the collection Jubilee began to grow weary again.
"Metallica, Bruce
Springsteen, Guns N' Roses..." she finally came across a box of 45's that
they hadn't checked yet. "The Misfits" said Jubilee, "I heard
about them." "They were big back in the day." recalled Logan,
"Here, take this" he said, handing her his turntable, "see how
they suit ya."
(Back to present
day)
"I'm close, I know I'm
close" she was trying every combination she could think of
135...136...137...138... Suddenly something began to happen, the door began to
open and inside she found a pod about the size of a dumpster stood on end.
Inside she found an array of levers, buttons and screens. "Hmmm....Let's
see" she thought, recalling the movie "Back to the Future".
Unbeknownst to Jubilee's
knowledge No one could hear the noise she was making in the compound separate
from the mansion, except maybe someone with a heightened sense of hearing and
hair-trigger reflexes.
Wolverine burst awake in
his bed. "What in the hell is going on out there?" He wondered aloud
looking out of his bedroom window. Quickly he threw on some black jeans, black
tank top, leather jacket and some black biker boots. Outside the mansion, he
made his way through the dark to the lab compound.
Jubilee had entered the
correct date as it said on the Misfits timeline she got on the Internet,
"October 29, 1983" she read aloud. She set the coordinates to the
CbGb's in New York (Author's
note, I'm not sure if that is where the Misfits performed their last concert,
it was just assumption)
in the middle of New York's punk scene. "Ok here goes" Jubilee,
without thinking pressed the button and in a flash of light, but oddly quiet,
she was gone.
The machine appeared in an
alley in back of the club, Jubilee covered it with a tarp that was covering
another dumpster and entered. Then she saw them, in all their glory, the
original Misfits, Looking like the undead on bass, Jerry Only and quite
Frankenstein-esq on guitar Doyle, and leading them on was The man she had come
to see, Glenn Danzig. She had entered during the chorus of "I Turned into
a Martian"
I Turned into a Martian
Whoa oh oh
I Can't Even Recall my
Name
whoa oh oh
Sometimes I never
hardly sleep at night
whoa oh oh
I turned into a
Martian today...
