TenchiNacht

2:27 when Darek and Jubilee arrived home. Andrew was still at work, it would be another hour before karry came home from school and Granpa.... well who knows.
Jubilee watched Darek asend the stairs and kistened for his music to start.
"Good." She picked up the phone. "1-8-0-0-c-o-l-l-e-c-t ..........Jubilation Lee..... Hm hm hm Lets get physical physical I wanna-"
"Your call is connected."
"JUBES?!"
"BOBBY! How are you."
"Better than you're going to be, we've been calling your appartment and now it's been torn down. Where are you? Man Logan's bout to come hunt you down."
"Is he?" (I'm supprized he'd get out of bed to eat let alone worry about me.)
"Jubilee?"
"Rougue?"
"Girl where in the sam hill have you been where are you staying?"
"I'm fine Rogue I have a place to stay I'm doing good. Hey how's Remy?"
"He's grabbin at the phone right now, back off swamp rat I'm talking to her, listen girl I'm glad yo--"
"Petite! Gambit been worried sick! If you don' call home for tr'ee weeks again you no going back to dat school."
"I'm sorry Remy I was busy."
"BUSY! to busy to call home? Non non non. Poor Hank's not been eat'n his twinkies he so worried."
"Oh can I talk to him."
"Jubes it's Bobby again Beast Storm and the professor are out."
"DARN well tell them I called and I'm safe K?"
"So you want me to get Logan?"
There was a dead silence even from the group at the other end. Jubilee hadn't even thought about why Derek's music stopped playing.
"You know what popcicle I should go the collect calls get expensive.'
"Okay Jubes, well we miss ya. Bye bye."

She hung up the phone and rested her chin on the arm of the sofa.
"Popcicle?" Jubilee turned her head ever so slowly to see Darek perched on the banister leading up the stairs. In his hand a cordless phone. He smirked. Her fingertips burned, her face went crimson.
"My friend Bobby." her voice was low almost a whisper.
"And the one who couldn't use pronouns, ugh I got a headache listening to him."
Her eyes were glowing, sparks tipped her fingers. She approach him gracefully. He hopped from his perch to stand right in front of her.
With a quick leg sweep she had him on the ground. One thing Wolvie did have the Darek did not was his martial arts training. Darek was on his back with a very angry mall rat on him hitting him in the chest. He laughed.
"Do you really think you can hurt me?" next thing he knew his shirt was burning away. He stopped laughing. He pushed her hands to the side, which cause her to tumble on to her back. He gripped her wrists trying to redirect her paffs, until her had to pinned them to the floor above her head.
"Darek!!" The two looked up to see grandpa. "That ain't apart of our heritage, you treat frails with respect."

"Fine," grumbled Darek as he released Jubilee. Jubilee gave him a smirk before the words that grandpa had just said registered.
"Hold it!" exclaimed Jubilee as he followed the old Feral when he was leaving. Grandpa paused and turned towards her.

Ignore the nakedness Jubes, ignore the nakedness.

"What did you call me just then?" asked Jubilee. She had to be sure she heard right.
"A frail, now if ya-"
"Why did you call me that?" asked Jubilee. He could see the hairs on the Ferals back bristle as he began getting annoyed, but Jubilee didn't give a damn.
"Its just something us Ferals call women. Sort of tradation in our family. Now if ya excuse me," said Grandpa as he began walking on all fours towards the kitchen. Probably planning to get a beer.
"I've known another guy to call women that too."
"Don't say."
"Yeah right after he killed them. He was one sick psycho."
Grandpa paused and slowly turned.
"Yeah?" said Grandpa simply. His stare revealed absolutely nothing. He could give Gambit lessons on how to bluff during poker.
"Yeah, his name was Victor Creed. Called himself Sabretooth also. He had a healing factor just like you guys and Wolvie," said Jubilee. She expected some response. She wanted some response and they both knew it. Instead Grandpa simply turned and continued going to the kitchen on all fours. It wasn't the response Jubilee wanted. Without a word Jubilee pointed a finger towards Grandpa and fired a paf. It gave off sparks when it hit the ground, causing Grandpa to growl and turned back towards her.
"Watch it frail. Ya shouldn't play with fire," said Grandpa as his whole body seemed to take a stance. It was the stance lions took right before they pounced onto their prey.
"There's a connection between Wolvie, Sabretooth, and you guys isn't there," said Jubilee as she kept her finger pointed at him. During this whole conversation, Darek looked between the two in confusion.
"Maybe," said Grandpa simply with a smirk. Smugness it seemed was hereditary.
"I want answers damn it!" shouted Jubilee as she fired another paf. Grandpa easily leaped over it and was ontop of her within a second. His large hands kept her wrists pinned. Jubilee was starting to get sick of this position. And it wasn't helping that it was naked Grandpa this time as well.
"Thought we were suppose to treat frails with respect grandpa," said Darek as he grabbed the old Feral's shoulder. Grandpa seemed to totally ignore him.
"Ya want answers lady, ya find them. I aint gonna offer them to ya. Yer gonna have to hunt down those answers yourself," said Grandpa as he slowly got off her then galloped to the kitchen before she could retort.
"That.. that.. perverted old man!" shouted Jubilee after him, knowing with his sensitive hearing he could hear. Darek simply shrugged and helped her up. He actually looked kind of good without a shirt on. Yep not-
"I'm going to my room," said Jubilee as she quickly passed Darek. When she began seeing Darek as attractive, that was the sign to take a time out from the Ferals.
