Jubilee & The Undercover Sabretooth

Chapter 2

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

"What the fucking hell are you pulling Nick!?" yelled Jubilee as she raised her glowing hands. Her pafs might hurt the guy, but she was pretty certain she couldn't take him with his fast healing factor. Creed faced tougher and more experienced mutants than her and wiped the floor with them.

"She really does have a smart mouth," said Victor in a conversational tone to Nick.

"You have no idea," said Nick before taking another puff of his cigar.

"Why are you talking to.. to.. Him! Are you insane!? This guy would just love to tear the both of us to shreds!" shrieked Jubilee. Jubilee could feel herself reaching the point of hysteria. What was going on here! Was Nick really stupid enough to trust Sabretooth? They were so at ease with each other that they almost looked like friends.

"Hey look babe, no need to get uptight. How about you control your temper?" said Creed. Jubilee could only stare at him… Sabretooth, the man who would fight like a wild animal was telling her to control her temper. Sabretooth, the guy who would kill someone for stepping on his foot was telling her to control her temper. Jubilee did the only thing that seemed to come naturally.

She began to double over with laughter.

Both Nick and Creed stared at her with a combination of amusement and concern.

"So are you going to stop freaking out on us babe?" asked Creed as he took a step closer.

"HELL NO!"

BOOM!

Jubilee had to admit she was very impressed with herself. That man had to weigh at least two hundred pounds and she created enough pafs to blow him over a hundred feet into the air. And it felt reeaalllyyy good to finally do that to someone who called her babe.

"Nick I don't know what this is about, but we have to get out of here now!" said Jubilee as she grabbed the man's hand. Nick wouldn't move though no matter how hard she pulled him.

"Jubilee relax, that wasn't Sabretooth. Not your Sabretooth anyway," said Nick. He dropped his cigar to the ground and stepped on it.

"Huh?" asked Jubilee. Ok, so maybe it wasn't the most intelligent response. But she was having a weird day.

"That Victor Creed-"

Thump!

"-is from a parallel world," said Nick. The flying feral had landed on the street and was slowly getting up.

"You mean just like Dark Beast," said Jubilee as she swallowed. It wouldn't take long for Victor to recover from that landing. And once he did she was going to be running, with or without Nick.

"Yep, except while Dark Beast turned out to be one sick and evil SOB, this guy here actually fought with the good guys against Apocalypse," said Nick.

"Huh?" asked Jubilee. She really did have to come up with a more witty response. Nick moved his face near hers and opened his mouth.

"His-A-Good-Guy," said Nick slowly as if she was an eight year old.

"But.. but his Victor! Even if his a different one, his still Victor Creed! You can't seriously be saying his someone you can trust," said Jubilee. She mentally debated what Nick was saying.

Beast turned out evil in one world while ours is good. Doesn't that mean Creed could turn out to be a good guy like Wolvie in another world?

NO! Absolutely not… well maybe its slightly possible…

"Nick there's no way I'm working with this psycho!" growled Victor as he walked over to them. She had been so caught up with arguing with herself, she hadn't paid attention to him. Wait… did HE just call her a 'psycho'?

"What!? You're calling me a psycho!"

"Well do you see any other crazy girls who blow people up around?"

"I am not crazy! And what do you mean by working with you?" demanded Jubilee.

"Creed give me a second with the girl will you?" asked Nick. It had actually sounded more like an order than a question. The real Sabretooth would have torn apart someone who did that. This one just gave a glare before turning and walking away. That's when Jubilee absolutely believed Nick, this guy wasn't Sabretooth. He really was from a parallel world.

"Remember when I said we had the real Sabretooth locked up, but no one knows about it? Well we want to use him to go undercover as Sabretooth."

"Why?" asked Jubilee. Well it was better than the 'Huh?' response.

"Do you know how many lowlifes and scum hire Sabretooth to do their dirty work? The top crime and terrorist organizations hire Sabretooth. And with his help we can find out exactly who they are and who their targets are. Theirs just one thing, I don't want him to go undercover alone. He needs a partner to back him up in case he gets into trouble. And I want that partner to be you," said Nick as he took out another cigar. Jubilee could literally feel the shock just cause her brain to cease to function. It was too much information, Victor was good, Victor was going undercover, and Nick wanted Jubilee to work for Victor.

"Give me that," said Jubilee as she grabbed Nick's cigar. She puffed a cloud of smoke with it.

"Didn't know you smoked."

"I don't-"

Cough! Cough!

After much hacking and coughing Jubilee finally returned the cigar.

"Thanks I needed that, ok I have two very simple questions. First question, why me? I mean aren't people going to be suspicious that a former X-Men who worked with Wolvie is now working with Sabretooth?"

"You worked with Wolvie when you were a kid, you're twenty-three years old now. And you haven't been in very close contact with the X-Men this last few years. With a change to your hair color and some contacts to change those eyes, I think even the X-Men would have trouble recognizing you," said Nick. Those words didn't comfort Jubilee. In fact she flinched when hearing the last part. Nick didn't show any indication that he noticed.

"Also your mutant power and combat training shou-"

"Bull shit."

Nick arched an eyebrow as Jubilee gave her fullest glare.

"You must have at least dozens of people with every kind of training you can think of who are better at the whole James Bond spy thing. I haven't even been in a fight for years and I know you don't want me for my mutant power. So cut the crap and tell me the real reason Nick," said Jubilee. She really did have a smart mouth.

"You know the real Sabretooth pretty well, don't you Jubilee? I mean you were the sidekick of his most hated enemy Wolverine. I'd guess you had to have met him a few times."

"Too many times," said Jubilee. She tried to ignore the memories that were surfacing. The ones of him hunting her down, almost killing her. The memories of his taunts and teasing as he brutally committed murder.

"I need someone who knows Sabretooth to work with this guy. To let him know how to act and what not to do. I have him reading file after file of Sabretooth's motives and psyche, but the only real chance he'll have is if his partnered with someone who knows how that killer thinks," said Nick.

"There's others who know Sabretooth a whole lot better then me," said Jubilee. Wolvie being one of them.

"True, but those people I either can't trust or would never take up this job," said Nick.

"Which brings up my second question. Why would you think I'd be stupid enough to take this job Nick?"

"What are you going to do with your life Jubilee? Become an actress? Keep working at that bar? You're a fighter Jubilee, you like having danger in your life. And while this whole college thing was nice for you, I'm betting your itching to go kick some ass again," said Nick. His words came so close to the truth. Way too close.

"Maybe I'll become an X-Men," said Jubilee. The words were out of her mouth before she knew what she was saying.

"That's true, how many X-Men did show up for your graduation two weeks ago anyway?" asked Nick. Jubilee narrowed her eyes. It seemed Nick has been doing a little spying on her.

"Cheap shot Nick," said Jubilee as she felt her hands glow. It really would be stupid to paf Nick Fury, Leader of SHIELD. But then Jubilee just couldn't resist doing the stupid thing sometimes when it felt good.

"Just making a point Jubilee. Even though they didn't plan to, the X-Men are giving you the cold shoulder. So caught up with the next crisis of the world that they can't keep tabs on former members. So what do you say? Want to become a SHIELD operative?" asked Nick with a smirk.

"Nope, your hours up," said Jubilee as she turned towards the bar. She didn't really think about the offer. She couldn't think about the offer. It was crazy, it was beyond crazy.

"If you ever change you're mind, call this number," said Nick as he pulled out a card. Before Jubilee could protest, he put it in her hand.

"I won't change my mind, seeya Nick," said Jubilee as she pocketed the card. She headed towards the Blitz without looking back.

Thump!

Jubilee slammed the door as she entered her apartment. She headed straight for the phone and dialed the number to the X-Men. She had just asked her boss for a week off so she could go visit them. So maybe Emma and Nick were right about her being distant from them, but that was easily fixed. Jubilee was a girl of action, by the time next week was over she'd be best buds with them once again. She just needed to show them what they were missing out by not having her around.

"Xavier Institute."

"Hi Paige, how's my favorite farm girl doing?" asked Jubilee with a grin. It was a relief to hear someone she knew picked up the phone.

"Jubilee! How are you doing? You wouldn't believe great I looked in my dress at the wedding last week! And Warren couldn't keep-"

"Whoah whoah! What wedding?" asked Jubilee. Suddenly she could feel a sick feeling at the bottom of her stomach.

"Why Gambits and Rogues wedding last week! Oh you um.. weren't there?" asked Paige. Her voice quickly turned from cheerful to soft.

"Oh that wedding! Yeah I had too much work at the Blitz. Couldn't make it," said Jubilee while trying to keep her voice from shaking. Actually she could have easily gotten time off.

"Sorry to hear that Jubes," said Paige. Thank god Paige was one of the most naïve girls in the world. Jubilee wasn't sure if she could handle Paige guessing the truth. That no one had bothered to invite her to the wedding. Or even inform her that there was going to be a wedding.

"Yep, just calling to see how everyone was doing. Well I gotta go Paige, food burning on the stove. Give the X-Men my love," said Jubilee. This time her voice did shake just a little, but Paige didn't seem to notice.

"I'll do that! Seeya Jubes!"

Jubilee hung up the phone. Slowly she turned and sat down on her couch. Two weeks ago no one, but Emma could make it to her graduation. A week ago all the X-Men had a wedding for Gambit and Rogue. Jubilee could feel her whole body just go… numb. And then the tears came. Hot tears that streaked her cheeks. She couldn't stop them this time. She shakily pulled out the card Nick gave her. With watery eyes she dialed the number on the card.

Ring Ring

"What is it?"

"I'd like to meet," said Jubilee as she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

"I'll be by your apartment in ten minutes."

Click!

Ten minutes later there was a knock on the door. When Jubilee answered there was Nick Fury. She gestured him inside then took a sit at the coach. He could probably see the tear streaks on her cheeks. But Jubilee was beyond caring.

"You know it's funny… I always knew that Gambit and Rogue would marry. Ever since I first met them. And you know what's funnier? I used to think that when it happened, I could be a maid of honor? Isn't that just fucking hilarious?" asked Jubilee. She could feel more tears come down her cheeks. Why couldn't Nick have said he'd be here in an hour? Or maybe even a day? When she wasn't looking totally pathetic.

Nick pulled out a handkerchief and offered it to her. Jubilee took it and began wiping her face.

"Thanks," said Jubilee. It wasn't just a thank you for the handkerchief. It was a thank you for not rubbing it in that she was being weak. For not showing pity by saying how sorry he was.

"If we're going to do this. You're going to have to get along with Victor. Don't go holding any bad feelings towards him for the things his double did," said Nick.

"I'll try."

"If you're going to work under me Jubilee. You can't 'try' anything. You either do it or don't do it," said Nick. Jubilee swallowed and looked him squarely in the eye.

"Ok I won't confuse him with his double," said Jubilee with determination. A minute ago she felt grief over finding that the X-Men forgot her. Now she was going to prove that they missed out on how important she could be. By doing the best damn job she could for Nick Fury.

"Good, I want you to spend three weeks with him at SHIELD headquarters. Get to know him, see what this guy is really like. I'm not saying you have to be friends with him. But you have to get along with him if you're going to accomplish the mission," said Nick. Jubilee nodded. It looked like she was going to miss a whole lot more than a week from the Blitz.
