A/N: Sorry this is so short, and took so long to post, but with the holidays, it was kind of hard to write. I think I have picked a title for this thing. It is inspired by one of my favorite poems. Please review and let me know what you think of the way this thing is going.

Chapter 5

The next morning

Frankie wakes up feeling slightly better and decides she has had enough of lying in bed for the moment, so she gets up and walks into the kitchen, making noise so as not to scare whoever may be in there. To her great relief, she found Jubilee in there making breakfast. She walked up to her and put her arms around Jubes waist. Jubilee turned around to see how Frankie is doing and was met with a kiss.

"Hmmm that was a better hello than yesterday morning.What are you doing up so early? How are ya feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine. I usually get up around this time every morning so I can do my running. Thought I told ya that yesterday."

"You did, but I thought since you were hurt, you would sleep in. You can't go running with those bruised ribs. Besides, what if that mob is out there again today?"

"I've done my run with worse than bruised ribs, and they won't be there today because they won't be expecting me. Most likely they think I am hurt worse than I am, or else they wouldn't have stopped when they did. If it will make you feel better, you can come along with me and afterwards we can swing by the warehouse district to try to find one that will work for our training. Maybe we will be lucky and find one with some living space so we can live and train in the same place."

"How about you skip the run today, just to put my mind at ease? I would feel better if you waited a few days before you went running again. The warehouse search sounds good though. Let me finish making breakfast, then we can get ready and walk down there."

"I really don't see the big deal about me running. I don't want to skip any days because it will be way to easy to just stop doing my runs altogether. I'll lay off today, cause you asked so nicely, but tomorrow I am doing my five miles."

"You think you will be up for some light training later today? I was thinking of showing you some of the, lets say more unique ways I have of training when I am not in New York. I want to see if they will help you any."

"Sounds like fun. When did you plan on doing the training?"

"When Kitty gets back from her class. She only has one today, but it lasts for around four hours. That should give us plenty of time to see if we can find a warehouse. If we don't, then we will just work on building your shields today."

"Sounds like a plan. Now, lets eat. I'm starved."

"Well, since you haven't eaten since at least yesterday morning, I would think you would be hungry. Just don't expect this to be a gormet meal. I am not the best cook in the world, but it is really hard to mess up eggs and sausage."

Later that day

"Wow, can you believe the warehouse we found? It is perfect for us. Plus it has a living space attached. Wait till Kitty sees it." Frankie was exclaiming as they walked into Jubilee's and Kitty's apartment after they secured the lease on an abandoned warehouse in a secluded part of town.

"Wait till Kitty sees what?" asked Kitty as she walked into the room.

"We found a warehouse for our training. The great part is, there is a living space above it with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Talk about perfect. That way we can also save money on rent. Now all I need is to find a job so I can put my share into the lease payments, and we will be set," Frankie replied.

"Who said you had to put anything into it? Don't worry about it Frankie. It's being taken care of. The important thing is we have a place to train you. That way, you can be better prepared if that mob tracks you down again," Jubilee told Frankie.

"I don't like not contributing my part. Guess it's just the way I was raised. When I can, I will pay you back for all of this."

"You can pay me back by getting better control of your powers so I don't have to worry about leaving you alone. I don't know how it happened so quick, but I care about what happens to you. I can't imagine what I would do if what happened yesterday happens again. I was afraid I lost you, just as soon as I found you yesterday morning. I want to make sure if I'm not there to protect you, that you can watch out for yourself. And don't give me the 'I used to be a cop, I can take care of myself' line either. If there are enough people, even you can't take them all."

"I wasn't about to give you that line. I worry about you too when you aren't with me. How did you worm your way into my heart that fast anyway?"

Kitty sensed that Frankie and Jubilee had something serious to discuss about their relationship, so she quietly went back into her bedroom. She didn't think she would be missed for the moment anyway.

"So, you feel the same way? I've heard of love at first sight before, but I never thought it would happen to me," Jubilee said as she made her way into Frankie's arms.

With that, all conversation stopped as thier lips met and they showed each other how they felt.
