Dinner in this place was generally a mad house of grabbing before the others took it from you. It wasn't till the people with in the house sat down that they became normal adults and people. Jubilee played with the food at the end of her fork with little interests. This mornings events left her drained and worse off she wasn't even hungry, so the energy she lost wasn't getting replaced. The events of the morning had left a sickening feel in her stomach at the loss of her temper and the realization of how she could have hurt some one. 'Definitely more control next time J, or I might have to leave.' Jubilee thought to herself while stuffing a forkful of food into her mouth. Remy was eyeing her every once and a while and she really wished he would stop before she got tempted to throw a spark in his meatloaf.
'Anyway, like it would stop him. I'm starting to see why Vic told me to stay away from him. God is he annoying, kinda hot, but so very annoying.' Jubilee thought then retraced her thoughts to earlier this afternoon. The glass in the control had been replaced and tomorrow some person, whom jubilee didn't catch the name of, was to come and help figure the new shielding in place for her sessions. Jean eventually made her way to Jubilee's room and apologized from intruding on her mind. She also had the nerve to say that she would always lend an ear if Jubilee needed to talk about the things that happened.
"Not bad meatloaf Jean." Scott stated to Jean in a conversational tone. It made jubilee gag in more then one way. The two were obviously all lovey dovey so when they were getting married was the question. 'Bring them to me Jubilation, you don't have a choice.' The voices played loudly in her head and Sinister's face appeared full force. Closing her eyes and setting her fork down, Jubilee asked to be excused and left before anyone answered. She made it up to her room and closed it behind her gently then rested her forehead on the smooth oak door. She tightened her fists and tried to get the image of Sinister laughing at the heads of Jean and Scott. Not a nice image for a 15 year old to digest at first.
"It's times like these when I don't know why he wants you." A voice sounded behind her and Jubilee turned while getting into a fighting stance. "Don't worry girlie, I'm not here to fight you, couldn't even thought I would love to."
"Then go away Cyber." Jubilee stated looking at the 5'8 women in front of her. Cyber, called that due to her abilities to encrypt any type of coding and also call forth different things from cyber space, was about a good 4 inches taller then Jubilee, but that never much bothered Jubilee since she was use to being around a guy who was close to a foot taller and had a nastier personality then this chick. Cyber laughed in a rich tone while tucking a stray strand of gold hair behind her ear in a way that was more posing then normal.
"Can't do that, He wants his prize and says you have three days to get it and call for delivery or else he's coming for you and it won't be pretty." Cyber stated and Jubilee noticed the piece of mail she had received earlier was the point from which to hologram was coming. Smirking, Jubilee crossed her arms; tempted the just throw a few paffs at the mail. It was rare that she got a letter, only once and a while from magazines and such. Bobby or Kitty, who ever was on mail call today, must have decided to be nice and set the mail in her room.
"Tell him he can go to hell for all I care. Besides he can come but I'll blow him sky high before he can even touch me." Jubilee told the woman in a cold tone before walking across the room towards the window.
"Jubilation, I wouldn't do that. Sinister has controls on you that you wouldn't even know about." Cyber told her and Jubilee shot her a quick look of anger. Anger flashed in Cyber's eyes before it was replaced by calmness.
"Fuck you. And don't act like you care what happens to me. You made that clear when you nearly sliced my head open." Jubilee whispered hoarsely while remembering the moment in her life. David had commented that Jubilee was getting almost to his level of fighting skill and Sinister took it as an opportunity to test the girl. David swore up and down that he had nothing to do with it, but Jubilee could never fully trust his response. After all they were living in a place that you only survive by lies and careful watch. Cyber and her were to fight with no powers and when Jubilee was winning, Cyber some how pulled out a knife from where ever it is she gets her things. The knife missed Jubilee only by a few centimeters on account of her hitting it with a few paffs. Cyber was put in isolation by Sinister for a few weeks and the two never got along afterwards.
"He wants Scott and Jean, which you know. But be sure to grab the brown hair Cajun, Gambit I think his name was. Sinister wants him back." Cyber stated before the hologram disappeared and Jubilee sent out a hand full of paffs to destroy the box. Getting Scott and Jean into a trap with Sinister would be easy, if she chose to do it, but Gambit was to smart. Besides Cyber's last comment only made her suspicions of Gambit's past more accurate the before. He was some how involved with Sinister, the question was how.
"So, Remy was right, Sinister be holding dat little piece of heaven over your head. How much he pay you girl? 2, 3 grand a piece?" Remy asked as he rested on her windowsill. Kicking herself in the mouth for not realizing he was there, Jubilee narrowed her eyes.
"He's not paying me anything, not that it would matter. Just go away Remy. I don't want to talk to no one, especially not you." Jubilee stated and sat down on her bed.
"I can't do dat chere, if he ain't paying then he's got something over you. Not de best position in the world for a petit' one non." Remy stated and swung his legs over the windowsill and stood up in the room.
"Not that it matters to you." Jubilee whispered weighting her possibilities in her head. She could just do what Sinister wants or she could run. 'Vic, why aren't you here. I need you right now.' Jubilee whispered in her mind and sighed. She would and could do this herself, but she just needed to get a plan worked out.
"Ah, Cherie, it does matter to dis thief, 'cause he was in your situation once before, only slightly different." Remy whispered and Jubilee looked him in the eye. There again was the look of pain she had seen only the night before. She almost wanted that look to go away, but no, you don't want anything like that for people you are suppose to be avoiding. It only leads to problems in the future.
"Whatever, look, I can deal with this myself." Jubilee stated harshly and stood up walking across the room from him. She slides a CD in to her portable player and grabbed the headphones to put them on. Not the best way to ignore someone, but sure as hell the most effective. Remy grabbed the headphones and player out of her hands before she could say anything to stop him.
"He got you tagged? He has too to know you're here. That means we gotta get hank to remove it." Remy said more to himself then to her. The thought of going back to the cold, distilled medical lab sent shivers down Jubilee's spine. An image came to her mind of Sinister with a needle full of light purple liquid.
"No, I'll take it out myself before I go back down there." Jubilee stated with tears hitting her eyes and spilling before she could stop them. She hated them, those stupid tears, they made her feel so helpless and she knew she was anything but that. She quickly wiped them away and grabbed her stuff from Remy.
"Chere, Gambit don' mean to make you cry, but we gotta deal wit dis before he show up." Remy stated softly and ran a finger over her cheek where a tear fell again. Jubilee pushed the hand away and took a few steps back then opened her mouth to say something, but the door opened and interrupted her.
"Before who comes?" Logan asked wit ha growl in his throat. Jubilee swallowed and frowned while looking pointedly at Remy as if saying, See, now look what you've done.
"Nothing, Remy was just about to leave before I paff his butt for being in my room." Jubilee stated and tried her best to look calm. She knew Logan could smell the tension in the air; hell she could cut it with a knife if she wanted to.
"Yeah, well you got a session in the morning with me kid, so you might want to consider not staying up late." Logan stated and looked over at Remy, who in return did his best to ignore Logan. Instead he just found an interesting spot on Jubilee's wall that happened to hold a picture of Pink.
"And how ya gonna pull that one off, the Danger room's, like, el friedo. And Stop Calling Me Kid." Jubilee said through her teeth.
"Who said anything about the Danger Room. Just be out front of the mansion before sun-up or you ain't gonna like how I get you up." Logan said in a deep growl and then went out of the room.
"Remy pity you chere. Logan look pretty happy about training ya." Remy stated with a smile. Jubilee knew why too. Not that it really mattered.
"Not my fault pictures of kitty taking a shower accidentally showed up in the guys rooms. Maybe she should be a bit more careful about where she showers." Jubilee stated with a grin and narrowed her eyes at Remy.
"Are you using some of that charm on me Cajun, cause if you are I swear I'll gut you like a fish." Jubilee stated and Remy smirked.
"You'll just never know now will ya, Petit'." Remy stated and slide out the window as Jubilee let out a colorful string of language. Jubilee shut her bedroom door and locked it before going over to the window. Sliding it shut and twisting the latch to make sure it didn't open, Jubilee frowned.
"Just what am I going to do now. I gotta get a hold of Creed tomorrow. He has to be around somewhere. Besides He would just leave me alone with a bunch of people with their thumbs up their arses." Jubilee whispered and her mind nagged her from the side. 'Or would he, maybe this was his way of getting rid of you.' Jubilee thought and frowned. Not the first time she had thought that in her lifetime, but alas she knew better. If Vic was gonna leave her then she would still be in Sinister's ever loving hands.
Jubilee turned and laid down on her bed trying to come up with some plan to get her little but out of this mess, the only problem was most of them involved doing something she didn't really want to do.
