Rough draft for this one was started December 15, 2003.
Disclaimer:
Everything X-Men in this fic belongs to Marvel, I don't have permission to play with their toys (unless you count the plastic ones Griffin and I horde), but because I can't make any money writing this I don't see why it would bother them too much. This fic goes to my best friend Linda J. who has been putting up with my madness longer then anyone else. Sorry I've been out of touch so much Fluffy.Part 1
Walking through the mall, headphones wrapped around her head and gum popping, Jubilee headed straight for the arcade to get her hands on the newest fighter game, 'Unlimited Mega Dead Madness 7'. She could see it from the doorway, when suddenly her world tilted, something covered her eyes and the strong smell of latex filled her nose… for some reason no one saw anything.
Three hours later:
Logan arrived to pick Jubilee up from the mall, but she wasn't waiting for him at the door, so grumbling to himself he parked the jeep and went in to find her.
"Knew the kid would get me to go into the blasted mall, probably all the way on the other side of the place so she can drag me into every shop on the way back to the car. I'm gona drag her out by her hair if she even thinks of try it." He promised himself as he reached the arcade, where he detected the slightest whiff of Jubilee near the door, but that was hours old and oddly covered by the smell of some kind of latex. He entered the beeping, buzzing, and screeching world that catered to raging adolescent hormones, only to find no trace of his pup near the game she'd said she was going to be playing, the adrenalin rush from the game alone should've had the kid's smell everywhere, but Logan got zip in the whole place. He did a quick tour of the rest of the mall, getting odd looks from the shoppers, but aside from her sent starting from the outside door, there was no sign she'd even been in the mall. Getting anxious he called the mansion.
"Xavier's school for the gifted, I'm his best student, how can I help you?" Bobby chirped.
"Bobby, is Jubes there?" Logan asked.
"No, you were going to pick her up, I don't not 'Pick her up' as in you're dating her but as in giving her a lift home. Did you forget what you were doing, Alzheimer's start to set in Wolverine?" Bobby joked till Logan growled into the phone,
"Has anyone heard from her after I dropped her off at the mall?"
"No you're the only call we got since you two left this morning." Bobby hesitated, but he had to ask, "Um… Logan is- is Jubilee missing?" Logan's mind exploded,
'Missin' the kid is missing!' Someone had kidnapped his Jubilee… AGAIN! After the whole being tortured by Bastian thing that had happened to her, Logan vowed that he wouldn't rest till he got her home.
"Logan, Logan?" Bobby called, but no one was there to hear his voice come from the receiver that was swinging back and forth from the payphone.
In a room far away from normal things, a girl sat arms crossed in anger.
"I'm not cheerful like 'ALL' the time just because my name is Jubilee, the bright yellow coat is just an old rain coat not an affirmation of my youthful vitality. Heck I'm almost 16 bub!" But the one watching her, with the big grin, didn't buy what she was selling and decides to let her sit there and 'think' about the offer they'd made some more.
