Part. 8 Okay so I´m gonna change her family history a lot so deal.And i Know this is not the best but I´m sick so I´ll blame it on that.
"You will tell me, not even your stubborn mind can keep locked forever" The cold voice that made her blood turn to pure ice whispered close to her ear. "What did your father hid his work before he died?"
"Fuck…you" She managed to say her throat being sore and dry and her lips were cracked and bleed. "SMACK!"
"Don't you dare talk to me that way you fealty disgusting mutant freak" He said to her delivering another fist towards her face. "You are noting remember that, nothing" He turned towards a few guards. "Take her to her cell we are done for now…and why don't you have some fun you have worked hard lately" He told the guards as he smiled evilly at her.
The guards smiled at each other before staring to unchain her from the wall were she was chained. They put a collar around her neck and tied her hands behind her back before starting to lead her towards the small dark cell where she was kept.
They went inside and the young 14 year old was dropped onto the cold metal floor and then a long painful scream was heard over and over again as the soldiers one by one forced themselves into her unprepared body.
Xapphire woke up trying to catch her breathe, the sweat was going down her forehead joined by a single tear that escaped her eye. This was the fifth night the nightmares had woken her up, she looked around her room and out the window seeing the full moon shining brightly at her. She had, had these dreams before how could she not? But then about the time she had joined Magneto they had gone away but now they were back again. She slowly sat up and looked down at Rain who was sleeping peacefully by her bed.
"That's right sweetie you sleep" She half whispered to the small cat. "I think am gonna try it one more time to" She said and picked Rain up before laying back down for another attempted to catch a few hours sleep.
Jubilee walked thru the corridor of Bayville High feeling the looks the so called "normal" students was giving her. She stopped by her locker and got her history book before heading for the class; she went inside and took her normal place in the back, in the corner by the window.
As she sat down she noticed that a note had been attached on her chair, she picked up and unfolded it reading the words "Mutant Freak" in big red leathers. She ripped it in half and tossed angrily into the trashcan.
"I got one too" Jubilee looked up at Kurt who sat next to her. "But I think my was written with a green peen"
"Yeah well they are all jerks anyway" Jubilee said and opened her blue backpack to look for her note book and a peen.
"God morning class" Miss Tanner greeted them as she entered the classroom. "Today we are going to continue to read about famous European kings and queen, now for you who wasn't here last time we had started to read about queen Victoria of England" After about an hours reading about an old dead chick Jubilee wanted to jump out the window even though she liked Ms. Tanner this was just to boring.
"Well now I think we now all we need about queen Victoria" Ms. Tanner said and but her book down. "The next subject on the list is a three days assignment in of coarse history" Many moans could be heard from the small group of sixteen year olds.
"Now class listen before you judge" Ms. Tanner told them. "This time I don't want cold facts, I want you to chose one of your favorite moment in history and by this I mean not just wars and presidents but it could be "Romeo and Juliet" a play that has had a big impact in our history or maybe a story from the bible or from another mythology" A brown haired boy on the front row raised his hand.
"Yes Brad?" Ms. Tanner said.
"So can we write about stuff like football through time?" He asked.
"Well yes you can write about football through history, where it came from and famous players" Ms. Tanner answered. "But yes there is a but, you will not do this alone I have paired you up two and two so you will half to compromise with your partner about what and how to do this"
"How we do it?" Kurt asked.
"Yes you can write it of coarse or maybe make a play about it or film, history is more then just facts, things some of us do today will become history in a hundred or fifty years from now" She told them. "Use your imagination and now everybody will get a partner and remember to compromise"
"Brad Conner and Susanne Bright" She started. "Michel Anderson and Jason Banks, Cole Wakefield and Megan McGrath, Jubilation Lee and Kurt Wagner, Kelly Turner and Christina Potter" As Ms. Tanner kept rambling up the names Jubilee wanted to hit her head hard into a brick wall, that was just great of coarse she would be paired of with an X-men that was just what she needed to complete her day. Suddenly a sharp pain went thru her head and stomach she had to bite her lip to not scream out load.
"Well I think that was all" Ms. Tanner said as the bell rang out and all the teenagers hurried to get out. "And remember three days!" She yelled after them.
Jubilee hurried to get out the room and headed strait for the girl's bathroom, as she reached the door the pain became almost unbearable she dropped her book and fell down onto her knees as flashes of painful memories went thru her mind.
"Jubilation?" She heard Kurt voice says from behind her, she quickly but a smile on her face and picked up her book.
"Jubilee" She corrected him.
"Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah just dropped the book" She said. "So about the history thing" She said quickly to change the subject.
"Yeah that's what I wanted to talk to you about" Kurt said as they started to walk down the hallway.
"So what do ya wanna do?" Jubilee asked mostly because she had no idea and she wasn't really up to do anything at the moment.
"I don't know maybe something about the human evolution that's part of or history" Kurt suggested. "The Professor says that if they know more they will start to understand"
"Two mutants talking about human evolution? What are we suppose to say?" Jubilee asked. "In about 6-7 generation you are all gonna be like us"
"You have a point but still if we do it right and explain everything from the Neanderthals, the Homo-Sapiens and to us I think that it will work" Kurt said.
"Yeah but I think that's what they are afraid of"
"What?" Kurt looked over at her.
"Well think fuzzy what happened to the Neanderthals when Homo-Sapiens came?" She asked him.
"They died out" He answered without giving it a thought until a few seconds later. "Oh"
"Get it they think that its gonna happen again and that's scares them"
"Then what should we do?"
"Well if ya think about it we could do it in a way that tells them that changes are good" Jubilee told him. "You ever seen Brother Bear? It's a Disney flick"
"No I don't think so" Kurt answered as they both went into the school library.
"Well its built on an old story that my grandfather use to tell me when I was younger" Jubilee said as they sat down, it was actually true her fathers father had been half Chinese and half Native American.
"He believed in the spirits and that they made all the changes and that they made them for a reason"
"That doesn't sound as bad as "We are taking over!" I like it" Kurt said
"Good then its settled, I think I the book my grandfather use to read to me from"
"Do you think they have a copy of it here?" Kurt asked and looked around.
"No its was a gift from his father it had been passed down from generation to generation" Jubilee paused for a second. "And it is hand written that's at list a B just there"
"Sounds good to me" Kurt told her.
"Okay I will bring it with me to school tomorrow" She told him and stood up. "Now if you will excuse me I´m gonna head home"
"But you have only been to one class to day!" Kurt called after her, Jubilee turned around with a small smile.
"Yeah well the rest its just to boring and I´m tired" She said before heading out the door.
She hurried around a corner she looked around to make sure no one was there before falling to her knees holding her stomach as the pain ripped thru her and flashes of her nightmares came before her eyes.
She felt her power building up inside of her crying out for realize.
Suddenly her body started to glow and she send of a big plasma plast from her whole body that went thru the wall she was sitting across from and further thru the class room and out making a small tunnel in its path.
She looked up at the damage she had done and she could hear the screams from outside, she slowly got up on shaky legs and went thru the big whole into the class room to the other whole that she made and looked out.
Her plasma plast had gone strait into the aula making the roof almost collapse completely; she stepped away from the opening and took of before somebody could see her.
She rushed thru the hallways ignoring the pains inside of her she looked around the crowed of students searching for a familiar face.
"Lance! Pietro! Todd! Fred!" She called for them, it was becoming harder and harder to ignore the pain and it felt like she was going to burn up, she sat down leaning agents a door feeling the energy building up inside of her just like it had before when she had shot out the plasma.
"Xapp?" She looked up and saw Lance and Pietro looking down on her actually looking really worried. The fire inside of her slowly went away as she saw them.
"Are you okay?" Lance asked as they both kneeled by her.
"No take me home" She said and looked at them. "Please I cant be here right now"
"Lance go and get the jeep" Pietro said as he helped Jubilee up, Lance took of heading for the jeep and parking it infront of the school; he opened the doors as Pietro helped Jubilee into the backset where she laid down.
"What´s wrong with her?" She heard Pietro ask.
"I dont know but I think she did that" Lance said and nodded towards the broken buildings.
"Come on lets take her home" Pietro said as he jumped into the jeep, Lance took one last look at the damage before getting into the jeep and starting it taking of towards the Brotherhood of Bayville boarding house.
3 Hours Later.
Jubilee slowly opened her eyes; the bright light from the sun hurt her eyes as she looked up at the window.
Her head was still hurting a little and her body ached but other wise she was fine, she sat up noticing that she was in her room. She was just about to stand up when the door open and Toad came in.
"Hey you're up!" He said. "Hey guys she´s up!" He screamed down the hall a short wail later the rest of the Brotherhood came up.
"Hey you okay?" Lance asked her as he forced her to lay down again with the palm of his hand.
"I think so, how long have I been out?" Jubilee asked as she pulled her cover over her.
"About three hours" Pietro answered. "You look worse then death when we found you"
"Oh geez thank you Speed, you always know what I wanna hear" Jubilee said sarcastically.
"You know what I mean"
"Yeah…"
"What happen to ya?" Fred asked. "You made a whole thru a classroom well two and the aula is thrashed"
"Did anyone get hurt?" The last thing she wanted to do right now was to hurt anyone.
"No not really couple a scratch and bruises nothing to bad" Toad told her. "But once again what happen?"
"I…I don't really know, I remember getting this big headache and it just went boom"
"Maybe we should take you to a hospital" Pietro half said and half asked.
"No!" Jubilee said and sat up quickly. "No, no, no, no, no, no! And NO!"
"Okay, okay" Lance said trying to calm her down. "We wont go to any hospital, they wouldn't treat you anyway"
"How do ya know that?" Toad asked.
"One she is a mutant and two she has a mutant problem" Lance stated. "You really lost control there Jubs"
"I know" She said and lay back down. "Sorry"
"Hey don't worry, no one got hurt and nobody saw you" Pietro told her.
"How do you know that?"
"Because then they would have been here by now with an angry mob" Jubilee smiled at them.
"Yeah I guess your right"
"Since when am I wrong" Pietro said and smiled back at her.
"Yeah since when" Lance said sarcastically and then turned back to Jubilee. "You should get some more rest" He told her, Jubilee nodded.
"Okay" The guys all smiled at her and left the room. Jubilee sighed and picked up Rain whom was playing on the floor by her bed, she put the little kitten beside her on the pillow and closed her eyes falling asleep as she slowly petted Rain.
The Next Day. Okay so I know that in this story the Brotherhood didn't attack the X-men at the school-board meeting but Kitty still called Lance a hood when they were fighting later on.
When Jubilee had fallen asleep the day before she had really been what they call a heavy sleeper she hadn't woken up until the next morning when Lance started to shake up the hose because Fred and Toad was teasing him about Kitty calling him a hood. Jubilee slowly pulled on a dark blue tank top and a pair of black jeans before starting to take small slow steps towards the kitchen. Amazingly enough she had, had a really good nights sleep, no nightmares at all.
It was like she had put all the pain and memories into a ball of fire inside of her and then it had just exploded causing her little incident at school, and after that she had been able to get a full nights rest.
It had hurt like hell but then after she had let it go it had felt…good really good. This in a normal case would be a good thing but not when you were an alpha class mutant that had been called a living atom bomb.
She entered the kitchen finding an angry looking Lance and she could hear Blob and Toad laughing in the living room.
"Having a nice morning?" She asked and gave him a teasing smile; he looked up at looking like he was ready to destroy the house although she knew he wasn't angry at her.
"You´re up" He said. "We thought that you were dead there for a moment"
"Nope I actually feel really alive" She said as she took a coke and a slice of leftover pizza from the fridge, she smiled and sat down beside him on the kitchen sofa. "What´s up with the shaking they on your back again?" She asked.
"Yeah like always" He said and kind of looked down.
"Hey" Jubilee said. "Are you okay?"
"I´m fine" Lance answered giving no feeling into the words at al.
"No your not, your sounding just like me when I say I´m fine" She looked at him. "So spill"
"Really its noting" He said and stood up going over to the fridge pretending to look for something.
"Hey you going to school today?" Jubilee asked knowing how it felt when people tried to get her to talk about things she rather just forgets.
"Yeah why?" He said and looked over at her.
"I just need five minutes to put my make-up on" She said. "Don't leave without me" She was on her way out of the room when Lance grabbed her arm.
"You're going to school?" He said not so mush in a questing way but more of a no way you're going anywhere.
"Yes I am its Thursday and I promised Kurt that I would bring a book with me today" She told him.
"Kurt? As in Nightcrawler?" He asked still holding her arm.
"Yeas Ms. Tanner paired us up in history class"
"I still don't think you should go" He told her.
"I´m feeling better, really come one "Mother" let me go" She said sarcastically realizing herself from his grip and continued up the stairs.
"I don't think we should let her go" Lance turned around and saw Pietro standing behind him. "You saw her yesterday she needs rest"
"I know" Lance said as he looked up after Jubilee. "But if we tell her that we "wont" let her go" he begun.
"Ya gonna tell Xapp what she can and can't do?" Toad asked as he and Fred entered the hallway. "Ya all gonna die!"
"Who's gonna die?" Jubilee suddenly asked as she came down the stairs with her make-up in place and her back-pack on her back plus a big old book wrapped in brown leather.
"I am" Lance answered, Jubilee at him like she was searching for something.
"Why?" She asked, Lance looked over at the rest of his teammates whom was suddenly finding the floor and roof very interesting.
"Well….." Lance started.
"Your not going to start about school again are ya?" She asked. "I´m fine don't worry I won't blow anything" She told them as she went pass them and out the door on her way to the jeep.
"That's not what we´re worried about" Lance sighed and looked after her.
"Well we can't stop her, so we just gotta keep an eye on her" Pietro said. "Come let's go".
The day by pretty fast and before Jubilee knew it she was in the liberty after school working on her history project with Kurt. She was writing down some information about the good that had come out of the biggest "changes" in their history and Kurt was looking over her book.
"This book is great" He said as he carefully turned a page. "I don't understand half of the stuff that is written in but anyway" Jubilee smiled at him.
"Its written in an old Indian languish, it's not so hard my grandfather though me" She told him.
"So you cane speak this?"
"Yes and Chinese and French and Spanish" Kurt just looked at her.
"Well my grandfather wanted me to know this and my father wanted me to speak Chinese as well as English, my mother singed me up for French lessons and I had a friend from Spain" She explained. "Now take a look at this and see what ya think" She told him a and gave him the papers she had written, Kurt took it and handled her his papers he had apparently done the night before.
"This is good we should take mine first and save yours for last and then the book" He said. "Sounds good?"
"Yeah I´m just gonna fix it up with the help of the almighty computer and print it" She said and got up as Kurt was trying to read the little English that was in the book.
She sat herself down and started to type when the sharp pain from yesterday came back; it was like someone had pierced her with a sword thru her stomach and her head for that matter.
Her breathing became heavy as flashes from her nightmares came again, she felt hove the fire started to build up inside screaming to come out.
"No" She said quietly to herself. "Not again" She left her work and looked around for somewhere to "hide" she opened the first door she could find and ended up in what looked like a very old bathroom that no one had used in like a 100 years and for a good reason.
She sat down on the floor and put her hands on her head like she was trying to press out the images she was seeing.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw that her body was glowing, she could feel her skin burn and she knew she couldn't hold on much longer, and as the next flash of pain and memories came she screamed and put her hands agents the wall infront of her and a few seconds later she was looking out at the woods behind the school and some fallen threes that her plast had taken down in its way. Jubilee slowly opened her eyes happy that school had been out for an hour and that it wasn't a crowed that fallen instead of those trees.
"Are you alright?" A voice suddenly asked her, she looked up and saw Scott and Jean standing beside her with concerned faces. "What happened?" Jean asked. Jubilee quickly got on her feet and without looking back she opened the door and rushed back into the school.
She picked up her work at the computer and then the book from Kurt who had come to see what the big bang had been.
"I´ll finish at home" She told him as she continued to run and she didn't stop once until she reached a payphone far away from Bayville High. She searched her pockets for some cash and put them in the phone and dialed a number.
"Yeah?" Came a voice from the other end of the phone.
"Fred" Jubilee managed to say. "Can you come and get me?"
"You can't walk from school?" He asked.
"I´m not at school I´m by the mall, please I did it again" She confessed.
"Okay don't move" Fred said and hung up, Jubilee put the phone down and went outside to tired to stand she sat down and leaned agents the telephone booth. She put her headphones in her ears and put the music on as she waited.
Oh now I found myself
Wish I was someone else
My hands are stained with love
Wish I could take it away
I hid behind the shell
In time the pain will melt
My heart is stained with love
Wish I could fake it
I gave my life away
There's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your own way
You take it in your own way
My selfish enemy
Still has the best of me
Empty and feeling numb
Wish I could take it away
I can't control the need
To weak to not concede
Wish I was deaf and dumb
Wish I could fake it
I gave my life away
There's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way
I gave my life away
There's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way
I can't pretend we're the same
I can't pretend we're the same
I can't pretend we're the same
Oh now I found myself
Wish I was someone else
My hands are stained with love
Wish I could FAKE
I gave my life away
There's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way
She could hear a car coming down the street and closed her eyes somehow she knew it was them and she just couldn't keep her eyes open, she had used too much energy. Her breathing became slow and even as she felt someone and by the feeling of it, it was Lance picked her up and lifted her into the car.
"Safe" her mind told her. "Your safe"
