Chapter 13

***Inside the mansion***

            Jubilee sat watching TV, relaxing now that she was finished.  She looked up as she heard someone enter the room.   She watched Rogue walk in and noted the aggravated look she had.  Jubilee immediately hunted for an escape route that would get her out unnoticed.

            "Ugh, that stupid Cajun!  Tryin' t' get outta doin' any work an' havin me do it instead.  Lazy…Hey Jubes!"  Rogue saw Jubilee trying to sneak away.  That always seemed to be people's reactions when she was mad, probably had something do with having super strength.

            "Hey Rogue," answered Jubilee still glancing about for a way out, "Gambit getting to you again."

            "That swamp rat always weasels his way outta team activities."

            "Well, maybe you should get him back.  Play a joke on him, and teach him a lesson."

            A sadistic grin spread on Rogue's face.  Jubilee knew Gambit was about to be hit hard.  While she watched Rogue's mind working on the horrid punishment she was going to give Gambit, Jubilee was overcome with the urge to join in.  She was bored since everyone was still working, and this was sure to be a truly entertaining experience.

            "So Rogue, what's your plan?"

            Rogue's green eyes glittered with excitement while she explained.

***Just outside the mansion grounds***

            "Ughh…"

            Archangel rubbed his pounding head and looked around at the feathers that encircled him.  Gently he stretched his wings and with that action came a grating crack.  Despite the obvious fact that his wings were damaged Archangel made an attempt at flying.  He managed to lift nearly a foot off the ground before reacquainting himself with the dirt.  However, he was determined to succeed and also knew his only way to find his way back to the mansion was to scan from the air.  He tried again, going slower and softer then the first time.  Success still evaded him, and after several more fruitless attempts Archangel gave in and resolved to walk.  Ironically he chose to go in the opposite direction of the mansion, which was only a few minutes walk away.
