"How'd it go?" Victor stole glances at her when they were finally on the road.
"Well...I don't know, really." Jubilee shook her head, feeling the wind sift over her face. "Rogue isn't thrilled, but she gets it. Jean downright forbade me to go." She reached over, sliding her fingers through his hair. "Are you sure about this?"
"Sure as I have been about anything." He looked over, reaching up his shoulder and taking her hand. "Where to?"
"Hm." Jubilee toyed with his fingers. "I don't know. Do you know where this road will take us?"
"Somewhere together." He shrugged.
"Alright." Jubilee beamed, wriggling closer to him in her seat. "Let's get away from it all, eh Vic?"
"Let's go, Precious."

"How long had this been going on?" Jean Grey stood in the front of the classroom, eyeing the young mutants. "Someone has GOT to know."
"Jean, honey, I don't think this was something that could have been stopped, no matter who did or didn't know." Scott put a hand on her back. "This was her decision."
"Scott, let me to my own motions to fix this, please." She patted his cheek.
"Scooter's right, Jeannie. Jubilee did this on her terms." Wolverine grunted from the back of the room. He sat on a table, Rogue in his lap. "We couldn't have stopped her."
"Logan, you do not know how her mind works-for all we know, she's already in more danger then we could imagine."
"Excuse me, but I know how her mind works. Victor's too." Rogue spoke carefully.
"Rogue, No matter what Jubilation may have told you..." She closed her mouth as Rogue peeled off her glove and waved at her. Logan smiled, seizing the opportunity to kiss her bare fingers.
"No public displays of affection, please." Jean said after a few moments of silence. She glared at each of the students, eager to fix the problem. "Someone has got to know what's been going on between Jubilation and-"
"She's been seeing him for a month now." Kitty blurted out, burying her face in her hands.
"Kitty!" Rogue chided her, scowling.
"I'm sorry, it's just..."
"I know, I know." Rogue climbed off the table, taking Logan's hand and pulling him with her. She walked out of the room, the rest following suit.
"Now, Katherine." Jean sat down across from her as the room cleared out. "Tell me what you feel comfortable with."
~*~*~
Logan shut the door behind them as Rogue fell back on her bed.
"You know, Kitty was going to do that no matter what." He said, leaning against the wall.
"I know-but Jubilee is just so close still." Rogue sighed. "I wish she could have held out a bit."
"Well, that's Pryde." Logan sat down next to her. "I know she told you what happened-you just never told me."
"And for good reason." Rogue sat up. "You'd have gone for his throat. And then Jubilee would have gone for yours." She patted his chest playfully, smiling. "They met about 2 months ago, in Asia. When-"
"When she went in with Scooter to infiltrate."
"That's all I know." Rogue Nodded. "They've been back in forth ever since. He took her out for her birthday-dinner, a midnight dip in the ocean; the works."
"How sweet." Logan deadpanned. He was still uncomfortable with the thought of Jubilee alone with Sabretooth.
"I think she slept with him that night." Rogue thought aloud.
"Oh, Rogue. Don't do that. I don't wanna think about that." Logan rubbed his temples. "Beside the point-Jubilee's smarter then tha-"
"They were naked on the beach, Logan. Not to mention the serene intimacy that's pretty much taken over both of-"
"Really, stop."
"Sorry-I've been getting filtered pictures." Rogues stifled a giggle at his squeamish reaction. "I think It's time for bed."
"I agree, darlin." He nodded. "Good night."
"Night." She kissed him gently, a ripple going through her body. She smiled contently, watching him leave. As the door shut behind him, she darted to change into her pajamas.
"Well...I don't know, really." Jubilee shook her head, feeling the wind sift over her face. "Rogue isn't thrilled, but she gets it. Jean downright forbade me to go." She reached over, sliding her fingers through his hair. "Are you sure about this?"
