The Wolverine within the Logan: The Beast within the Beauty
Chapter 3: That Time of the Month
Wolverine ripped through the halls, his concern for Jubilee making him run faster. He had never seen her like this before. Sure he had seen her cry, lots of times in fact, but he had never seen her eyes look so accusing, and they had been looking at him. He had to know what was wrong. He smashed head first into Rogue.
"Hey. You seen Jubilee?"
He asked picking himself up and giving Rogue a hand.
"Sugar, it shore is good ta see ya too, but ya'll should watch where ya goin'. With your steel frame, ah think ya broke all that bone in mah body."
"Sorry"
"She went dat way hon, but. . . "
Before Rogue could finish, Wolverine was already off in the direction she had pointed to.
"Logan's always gettin' into trouble he can't git outta. Jubilee shore looked mad. . ."
Rogue trailed off. . .
Wolverine tore into the forest, and he wondered to himself why he was in such a hurry to find Jubilee. Then he remembered how luscious she had looked sleeping on his bed in one of his flannel shirts that he had left behind. He shook his head and growled angrily. He had no right to think of her in that way, but the memory of her long legs beckoned him. She had changed in his absence. Jubilee had matured in a way he would never have imagined possible.
Wolverine heard a sound behind him.
SNIKT!
"Wolvie?"
Wolverine's claws slowly retracted at the sound of her whisper.
"Hey ki. . . Jubes. . . why'd ya run out on me like that? Ya tryin' ta give me a heart attack?"
He sat down heavily next to her.
"Jubes I. . . "
"Wolverine I'm sorry for running out on you like that. I just. . . I'm sorry."
"Nah its alright. C'mon Jubes its yer Wolvie yer talkin' ta. Ya know ya can tell me anythin'"
"I dunno. . . I just feel so emotional. . . I dunno why though"
She lied. She knew exactly why she felt this way. Watching Wolverine gaze at Jean like she was a goddess was more then she could bear.
"Uh. . . well. . . its not yer. . . ya know? Yer. . ."
"my what?"
"uh. . . ya know? Yer. . . time?"
"my. . . time?"
"yer time of the month Jubes wat else?"
Wolverine burst out, and Jubilee exploded with laughter.
"No, its not my time. Since when do you ask stuff like that?"
Wolverine blushed a bright crimson.
"I dunno. . . I just figured. . ."
Jubilee screamed with laughter at Wolverine's obvious discomfort.
"Wolvie! I have never seen you like this!"
"well. . . I. . . I'm glad that ya find my embarrassment so funny, but we better get goin'. The others might be wonderin' what happened."
Wolverine stood up and leaned down to help Jubilee up. He underestimated his strength and pulled too hard. Jubilee crashed into him, their bodies pressed against each other's. Her laughter died on her lips, and she felt her heart speeding up. Wolverine looked intensely into her eyes, and he was lost in them. With her hypnotizing eyes, her soft, shapely body pressed against his hard, toned one, and her fragrance overwhelming him, he felt his animalistic nature taking over. Her breathless pants were driving him mad with want. He was beginning to become lost, he began to become the Wolverine. Then the Logan in him remembered, this was his Jubilee, his Jubes, he couldn't hurt her like that.
Logan stepped back abruptly, and without her body and her eyes looking deep into his, he began to regain his sense of control. He shook his head to clear himself of her fragrance, but he couldn't. It was imbedded deep into him, as deep as the steel in his body was imbedded. Jubilee's fragrance became part of his soul, both the Wolverine's and the Logan's. That worried him.
"Darlin' we betta get goin'. Boy scout might come lookin' for us."
Wolverine's voice was more gruff then he had meant to make it, as if his voice could cover up his emotions. Jubilee didn't understand what had just happened.
"That wasn't Wolverine gazing into my eyes like that. . . was it?" She wondered. "It couldn't have been, he thinks of me as a child, the kid that trailed after him like a loyal dog."
Her confusion made her feel bitter and disappointed, but she obediently followed him out of the fast, dark growing forest.
Wolverine was afraid, more afraid then he could remember himself being before. He was afraid for the next time he was alone with Jubilee and the Wolverine took over.
