Part. 10
Okay so big "Warning!" some mention about sex. I don't see what the big deal is anyway come on if you cant handle reading about it then just don't. And some people have been asking me about what Bastion and OZT is so I will try and explain it. In the X-men and Generation X comics Bastion is a Sentinel robot in human guise that assembled an international paramilitary force called "Operation Zero Tolerance" (OZT), well anyway he managed to kidnap Jubilee and was torturing her for information about the X-men, but she didn't tell him anything and then she got out and was found by the X-men. I hope you got it.
Jubilee slowly opened her eyes and looked at her alarm-clock, it was a few minutes past four. Jubilee smiled to herself and looked over at the sleeping body of Lance Alvers whom was lying beside her.
"Well he earned it" She thought, over the last few hours they most have set a new record, Jubilee had stop counting after the seventh time and it had been many other after that.
They hadn't been able to stop touching each other, everytime had been long and sweet, hard or slow depended on which mod they were in at the time and since the rest of the Brotherhood were in school they hadn't needed to be quiet either.
Then about an hour ago they had fallen asleep.
Jubilee sighed happily and snuggled closer to Lance sleeping body, then she suddenly she heard the front door slam and she could hear the voices of the rest of the house residents. She quickly sat up and pulled on Lance black T-shirt that was on the top of a big pail of cloths, it stopped just a few inches above her knees.
She quickly jumped over Lance accidentally hitting him over the head with her foot; she almost flew over to the door and locked it just in time to hear Pietro and Toad go by talking about how to thrash the principal's car.
Jubilee sighed in relief and turned around to see Lance awake but still in bed smiling at her.
"What?" She asked returning the smile.
"Nice nightgown" He said, Jubilee looked down at the pale black t-shirt. "No really, you look hot you should wear my cloth more often" He told her still with a smile, and then he put his hand out towards her. "Come" Jubilee went over to the bed and let him pull her down into his arms.
"Guess we forgot to lock huh?" He said giving her a kiss on her temple.
"Yeah and Toad never knocks" Jubilee answered enjoying the feeling of having him there.
"Hey Jubilee can I borrow your red lipstick I can't find mine!" They heard Wanda call from the other side of the door that lead to the bathroom she and Jubilee shared.
"You have a red lipstick?" Lance whispered in a tone so that Jubilee could practically see his amused face.
"I just have it around if I would ever need it" She said back to him. "Its in my draw you can't miss it!!" She yelled to Wanda.
"Okay and Sparks?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah?" Jubilee giggled as Lance tickled her with light kisses on her neck.
"Tell Lance that he so aint using OUR shower" She said before they could hear her walk away.
"So ya think she´s gonna tell everybody?" Lance asked
"Well it looks to me like everybody already knows" Jubilee said.
"Really? I thought only Pietro knew" Lance said.
"Pietro knew?" Jubilee asked. "I´m gonna kill him"
"Yeah well that can wait until later" Lance said and wrestled her until he had her pinned beneath him and then he bent down and kissed her. "Yeah" Jubilee though "it could wait until later…much later"
The day had gone by pretty fast at list for Lance and Jubilee who had spent most of their time in bed.
But they had eventually gone up taking a shower and gone downstairs to get something to eat. And after spending about an hour of listening to Fred and Toad talking shit Lance had finally and literally shaking them out of the house. Jubilee knew that they didn't mean anything by it; it was just how they were.
3 Hours Later.
Jubilee sighed as she tried on her third top and looked in the mirror; she was trying to decide what to wear to the concert and that concert was only one hour away. She was trying on a top that she had shoplifted at the mall about a month ago, "No it wasn't right either what to wear? What to wear?"
Then she spotted her uniform and she smiled to herself, "Hey why not Wanda wear hers almost the time" She thought and went over to put on the black leather outfit, then she put on her make-up and fixed her hair so the ends fell down her shoulders in big soft locks. She looked in the mirror once again to see that she hadn't forgotten anything.
"God its blue" She mumbled to herself as she removed a piece of hair from her face before heading down to the kitchen to get something to eat before the concert.
She opened the fridge and looked around finding the lunch she had prepared late last night after everybody else had fallen asleep and then of course after she was done she had remembered that she was just going to attend one class; she had just been really tired and restless.
She sat herself down and stared to eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich looking out the window at the early sunset.
She was about to reach down the small brown paper bag and grab a few cookies when a long green tongue came from the living-room grabbing the bag and then disappearing again.
"Toad" Jubilee said in an enjoying tone but she wasn't really that angry with him, a few seconds later he came jumping in landing on the kitchen table infront of her.
"Hey if you don't feed the Toad, this is what happens" He said with a grin.
"Yes of coarse silly me" Jubilee said sarcastic.
"Hey what's up with the uniform? There´s a fight I don't know about?" He asked jumping over to the fridge to find something else to eat.
"No I just decided to wear it to the concert" She answered.
"Oh I don't think Lance will like that" Toad told her,
"Oh yeah why not?"
"Cause you look hot in that outfit girl"
"I know that's the point, hey have you seen Wanda?"
"I´m here" A voice said and Wanda appeared from the hallway. "And Lance wanted me to tell you that we are leaving now"
"Now?" Jubilee asked looking at her clock. "Its early"
"He said he wanted to avoid the crowds so come on move yer asses" Jubilee sighed and got up fallowing Wanda and Toad out the door and into the jeep. She hurried past them so that she would get the set next to Lance and then they were on their way.
45 Minutes Later.
"You think the X-men are gonna be here?" Pietro asked as they entered the large building making their way thru the crowed of teenagers.
Instead of answer Wanda just grabbed her brothers' head to the right where they could see Scott, Jean, Rouge, Evan, Kurt and Kitty standing next to Amara, Bobby, Sam and Ray.
"Wow what is this, a school trip?" Jubilee said looking over at the large group.
"Screw them come on lets find the seats" Lance said sounding a little bit annoyed.
"You´re not gonna start a fight with Scott are ya?" Jubilee asked him as they sat down.
"He left Mystique" Lance almost growled.
"I know but think about it" Jubilee said. "This concert is shown live around the country you really wanna start a mutant fight on national TV?"
"I know you have a good point there" Lance said with a sigh, Jubilee smiled and leaned over giving him a quick kiss on the mouth.
"I know" Jubilee said and looked up at the stage. "Look I think they are about to start" A short but really cute guy with blond and green hair stepped out onto the stage.
"Hello Bayville!" He screamed. "Now it's my greatest pleasure to present to you Evanesence!!" The crowed went wild as the band came on the stage and the music began to play. Jubilee and the rest of the Brotherhood (except for Fred who hadn't really wanted come) stood up with the rest of the audience clapping their hands to the music. After a few songs they finally started to sing one of Jubilee´s favorites.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Jubilee started to move with the music noticing that some of the X-men were looking at her, were they spying on her? Well for the moment she didn't really care instead she went back to watch the band.
But suddenly the music seemed to become much louder so load her head was pounding, Jubilee looked around but no one else had reacted from the looks of it. She closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands as the pounding in her head became worse.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
Jubilee looked up and quickly moved her hands down to her belly as flashes of pain started going thru her again. "Oh no not here" She thought as she felt how the energy was building up inside. And memories all the memories that flashed before her, all the pain all the tears that could be put in more the just one lifetime, but it hadn't it, had been but in just one and one very short.
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
Thanks to the high music and the cheering crowed no one notes the little Chinese girl who was now bending over in pain. She slowly backed away from her teammates trying to make her way thru the sea of teenagers; she managed to stand up strait and looked around finally seeing an emergency exit not to far away.
She started to walk towards it but didn't get very long before she fell onto her knees as the pain became almost more then she could bare and without even realizing it she had send out a big plasma plast right into one of the large speakers by the stage.
"JUBILEE!" She could hear Lance yell after her but the only thing that was on her mind was to get the hell out of there. The music had stopped playing and the stage had caught fire screaming teenagers panic around her making her shoot of another plasma plast this time it went strait thru the crowed knocking several of kids down.
She hurried and got on her feet's hurrying towards the small exit she had spotted.
Everything had become to much all the lost, all the pain why her? Why had everything gone so wrong?
Each step she took was becoming heavier, it felt like someone had chained her down and as she finally reached the door she almost collapse opening it.
She fell out into the ally knocking over a dumpster, she slowly managed to stand up and started to walk as fast and straight as she could not realizing she was walking out into the road.
Soft voices seemed to call her name but everything was so dizzy and the only thing she could really hear was her own heart beating.
Lance was making his way thru the panicking crowed with the Brotherhood close behind, as they hurried towards the door they had seen Jubilee disappeared thru Wanda almost tripped over one of the unconscious teenagers Jubilee had knocked down.
"JUBILEE!!!"
"XAPPHIRE!! They all called after her knowing that something was seriously wrong. They where about to go out the door when the X-men hurried up to them standing before the way out.
"What happened?" Scott asked. "Why did she do that?"
"She didn't mean to!" Wanda said in a defensive tone. "She can't help it!"
"Get out of the way Summers we need to get to her" Lance said pushing Scott away from the door heading out after Jubilee with both the Brotherhood and the X-men after him.
"I will contact the Professor and the others" Jean said as they stood in the ally looking around for Jubilee. "Her mind was so confused I couldn't even try to enter"
"She didn't have her shields up?" Pietro asked sounding surprised. "She must be losin it big time"
"Where fuck is she?!" Lance asked frustrated as he looked around. He could since her pain and judging by the fact that he wasn't even close to being a telepath she was going to break and go of any second.
And that was just it Jubilation Lee wasn't a firecracker she was a powerful atom-bomb.
Jubilee was going down the road.
"Crazy kid walking in the middle of the road!", "Move over kid!", "Are ya insane?!!" The drivers screamed as they passed her but to her it was just light whispers.
It was dark outside, dark and cold she could hardly see, hardly hear and every inch of her hurt like hell.
Suddenly something hard and cold hit her from the back and she rolled over the object hitting the ground hard.
She could taste the blood in her mouth and she could feel the red mass running down her face and stomach.
It didn't hurt though her mental pain had already overtaken her body not leaving any room for physical. The car that had hit her didn't bother to stop it just kept going faster and faster until it was out of sight.
Jubilee slowly stood up her body now surrounded by a multicolored energy and her eyes had turned completely ice blue.
Everything was just too much, she was burning up inside she needed to unleash the pain within, she needed to get ride of the memories.
She started to lift from the ground higher and higher up in the sky as the energy grew bigger around her.
"She must have gone down the road" Rogue said looking down the small road.
"Why is she running away?" Kitty asked.
"Because she doesn't wanna hurt anybody" Lance answered. "If she blows Bayville goes with her you dont mess with Alpha class"
"How can she be so powerful she is only a child?" Ororo asked she had arrived a few minutes earlier with Wolverine, Beast and Professor Xavier, after they had gotten Jean´s call they had hurried to the Black Bird and taken of. "Our powers is suppose to grow with time and she's only 16"
"She was pushed" Wanda said ignoring the glances she was getting from the rest of the Brotherhood.
"How do you mean pushed?" Professor Xavier asked.
"She is one of the few survivors that were taken by the Operation Zero Tolerance project" She told to them. "She had information that they wanted but she wouldn't tell them" Wanda stopped for a second. "I know what bad memories can do to you and with memories like hers she was like a ticking bomb ready to go of any second"
"What did they do to her?" Kurt asked, he and the rest of the X-men knew what OZT had done to people but he couldn't help but ask.
"Everything you can imagine and not imagine" Lance answered, nobody said anything.
"Well the important thing right now is that we find her and…" Beast begun but didn't get a chance to finish as a ball of multicolored energy lifted up high in the air not to far away from them.
"I think we found her" Toad said.
"Come on lets go!" Lance said and the large group took of towards Jubilee.
The air around her became colder as she went higher up, it became hard to breathe but none of that really mattered she could feel it but all the other pain was stronger and soon she wouldn't feel anything at all.
She was burying herself in her memories, she would soon reach the center of her mind and all her powers would be released.
She was back and he was there torturing her mind worse then ever making her go thru everything he had done to her three times worse.
"Leave me alone!" She cried out. "I don't know anything!"
"But you do miss. Lee and we will do whatever it takes to find it out"
And with that the pain begun again and this time there was no stop, she screamed, screamed at the top of her lungs wanting it all to stop.
The Brotherhood and X-men stopped as they reached Jubilee, the energy around her grew and all the air around her was becoming warmer.
"God it's hot" Kitty said. "Is she doing this"
"No its flying energy behind her" Wanda said irritated.
"JUBILEE!!" Lance yelled. "JUBS CAN YOU HEAR ME?" there was no response to the question instead they heard one of the most painful and inhuman scream they had ever heard.
"She is in great pain" Professor Xavier said as he put his hands over his head, the strong signal that was send out by Jubilee couldn't be ignored by anyone, Jean was on her knees as the sharp pain went thru her head.
"We half to help her" Xavier said. "If I could just get close enough to com in contact with her mind"
"And how were you planning on doin that?" Pietro asked. "If ya hadn't notes she is kind of hard to get close to!"
"From what I can tell she thinks she is in the past" Xavier explained. "But if we just could break that for a moment it would be enough"
"And how do we do that?" Lance asked.
"One of you most try to make contact with her somehow" Ororo said.
"Will it work?" Toad asked.
"It did on me" Jean said as she managed to stand up with Scott´s help. "When my powers got out of control Scott still managed to bring me back for a short wail."
"And then what?" Fred asked.
"Then Storm will take me to her and I will try to break the circle she is in" Professor Xavier said.
"What if it doesn't work" Pietro said. "What if you can't :Break: it?"
"We half to try" Logan said. "Or we´re all history"
"Well then Lance you go" Wanda said. "If anyone could bring her back its you right?"
"What am I suppose to say?" Lance asked.
"Just talk to her call for her" Ororo answered, Lance sighed and went so he stood under his girlfriend.
"Jubilee! Can you hear me?!" He yelled to her. "Jubs?!"
"Tell her to concentrate on you're voice!" Scott yelled to Lance. "Let it guide her back" Lance looked at him for a second then turned back to Jubilee.
"Jubilee if you can hear me I want you to concentrate on my voice!" He said not taking his eyes of her for one second even though the multicolored energy around her hurt to look at. "Come on baby, come back to me!"
"You can't hold it in forever mutie" The cold and evil voice spat. "I am going to break you, so why don't you just spare us the work and talk"
"No!"
"Stupid girl don't you understand, you are all alone, no one will come for you" He said. "Everyone you loved is gone, who are you trying to protect?"
"Fuck you!!" She spat back with pure hate in her voice.
"Well then just remember you brought this on yourself" He told her and pushed a bottom and the pain once again ripped thru her. The pain was almost too much to bare and she screamed once again but like as always it didn't stop.
"Jubilee!" A faint voice whispered. "Jubilee" That voice it sounded familiar but where was it coming from?
"Jubilee if you can hear me I want you to concentrate on my voice!" Yeah she knew that voice, she cared for that voice, she…loved that voice.
"Come on baby, come back to me!"
"Lance?" Her mind cried out and she opened her eyes, seeing noting but the energy around her.
"Now Storm!" Professor Xavier said, Storm nodded and her eyes turned white she carefully lifted herself and Xavier up in the air and brought them closer to Jubilee. It was hard to keep steady because of the circling energy and the rain that started to fall from the clouded sky.
"Charles I cant go any closer!" Storm called over the winds.
"I cant reach her from here we half to get closer!" Xavier yelled.
The rest of the two groups just watched helplessly as Lance continue to talk to Jubilee and Storm and Xavier were desperately trying to reach the young girl.
"We half to help them then!" Rogue said.
"Yeah but how?" Kurt asked. "If you get to close you are going to get seriously burned"
"But if we don't do anything we will all die!" Evan said.
"I have an idea" Beast said everybody turned to look at him. "Storm has to concentrate to hold The Professor and herself steady"
"Yeah we get that" Pietro said.
"So we just need someone else to take Charles and basically jump to her" He told them.
"And who is going to do that?" Toad asked.
"I am" Logan said and looked up towards Storm. "Storm!" he called. "Take me to Charles!" he told her, Ororo looked at him slightly confused.
"Just do it!" Wolverine growled and a few seconds later he was on his way up.
"Logan what are you doing?" Xavier asked as the short man came up beside him.
"Just trust me Charles and hang on" Logan answered and grabbed onto the Professor before jumping into the burning energy.
Lance voice became weaker and weaker until she couldn't hear him no more.
"I told you" Bastion´s voice echoed in her mind. "You don't have anybody left"
Jubilee was about to close her eyes again when she saw someone coming towards her and before she knew it someone grabbed her head and entered her mind.
Logan and Storm fell to the ground as the energy field grew larger, you could barely make out the two persons in the middle of it all.
Jubilee tried to fight the intruder in her mind, but it didn't work the pain was strong and it was hard to concentrate as images of her painful past flashed before her worse then ever.
She had to hide, she had to bury herself deep down inside where the memories couldn't reach her, but she needed to get rid of them first she needed to unleash everything and then hide, hide forever.
"Jubilation?" A gentle voice asked a kind voice not Bastion. "Jubilation, my name is Charles Xavier and I need you to listen to me"
"Why?" She asked in a confused voice, Professor Xavier looked around trying to find her as he went further into her mind the memories stared to flash before him sending the pain into his mind.
"Jubilation listen to me you need to concentrate!" he told her trying to keep the pain away. "You half to confront the memories and take all your energy back"
"I can't!" Jubilee said shaking her head no wildly. "I can't! It hurts, it hurts to much!"
"I know it does but if you don't everyone and everything you love will die!" He told her as he continued to search for her. Jubilee´s eyes flew open she was in a dark place in the back of her mind, there was a dead forest around her and everything seemed frozen.
She looked around; someone was going to die but whom? Why couldn't she remember? Everyone she loved was already gone; he had told her that she had nobody left.
But then why was she so afraid that someone would be hurt?
"Hello?" She called out. "Is anybody there?" A cold and evil laugh could be heard and moments later Bastion stepped out to stand infront of her.
"I have told you freak you are all alone it's just you and your pain" He said and grabbed her by the hair. "And the pain never goes away"
"Leave me alone" She said trying to break free from his grip but she was too weak. "Why can't you go away?"
"Because why should I go when you are letting me stay?" The cold voice whispered in her ear, tears begun to spring from her eyes and she begun to sob quietly. She was just lost, so alone and afraid, she needed help yeah know she could admit it when it was too late and everything and everybody was gone.
"Jubilation?" The gentle voice asked again, she turned her head as much as she could still in Bastion´s grip a few steps away from her stood a bald man in a suit. "Listen to me, I can help you just take my hand" he told her and held out one hand to her.
She looked at him studied him; he looked nice and friendly he was surrounded by a warm glow.
"Your friends miss you they want you to come back" He told her.
"It's a lie all your friends are gone" Bastion told her and tightened his grip.
"They are all very concerned about you" Professor Xavier said ignoring Bastion. "Especially Lance"
Lance…Lance! She remembered Lance, he wasn't gone and not the others either they where okay, they where all okay! She remembered it was just memories, the past not the present not the future the past.
"You half to confront it and take control or the ones you love will be hurt" Xavier told her but still in a gentle tone. Jubilee looked at him and then at Bastion and then back to him again, she then pulled free from Bastion with what felt like her last powers. She slowly stood up and looked at him.
"I hate you" She told him. "More then anything I will ever know" She then turned to Professor Xavier he smiled at her as she reached out and took his hand.
"Its gonna hurt isnt it?" She asked as he put his hands on her head.
"Yes maybe more then anything you have ever felt but I will be here all the way and so will your friends" He told her and closed his eyes, Jubilee did the same.
When she opened her eyes again she could see all the energy that surrounded her and she could feel the hard cold rain on her face, she was back.
"Draw it back, make the energy go back inside you with the memories" Xavier told her. Jubilee looked up into the sky her eyes turning completely blue again and she held out her arms trying to command her powers back. The pain that know went thru her was so big that she could feel that death was near but she wouldn't stop, she wouldn't hurt them.
A painful scream went thru the night sky and the two teams below could see how the energy went back inside of Jubilee.
And then there was just a thin layer of multi colored plasma surrounding her and Professor Xavier.
"Just let me help you" He told her. "Lower your body towards the ground" She did what he said feeling his help in her mind as she did.
She could then feel how her feet´s touched the ground but she didn't have any powers left to stand, so she sank down onto her knees, resting her head against Professor Xavier.
"Is it gone?" She asked.
"Yes, yes its gone" He answered and then not being able to keep her eyes open she closed them and allowed herself to fall into deep sleep, the last thing she heard was Lance voice saying her name softly.
At The X-mansion.
It had been almost twenty-four hours since the incident at the concert but Jubilee was still resting in a deep sleep. They had taken her strait too the med-lab letting Hank look her over, she had lost a lot of energy and was very weak. In the first few hours her heart had stopped twice before Hank was able to get her stable, non of the member of the Brotherhood had left her room once other then to go to the bathroom.
Lance were sitting beside her holding her hand, Wanda and Pietro were sitting in a small and hard sofa and Fred was sting in a chair with toad beside him sleeping.
Hank was coming know and then to check up on her and to replace the IV.
"How is she doing?" Lance asked him as the big blue doctor took her pulse.
"Much better" He told them with a smile. "Her powers are coming back slowly but still, she is going to be fine" Lance sighed in relief giving her hand a small kiss. Hank gave them another smile before going back to the lab where Professor Xavier and the other X-men waited for some news.
"How is she Hank?" Xavier asked when he entered.
"She is going to be fine, it might take a few days though" He told them. "But I must say that from what you told me Charles it is her mental state I am worried about"
"Yes me to" Professor Xavier said. "She's been through torture, rape and she has been abandon more then ones and never once has she talked about it"
"Is that's why she lost control?" Scott asked.
"Yes and her powers are big for someone her age, she wasn't suppose to have them get" Hank answered looking over her x-rays.
"No one should ever half to go thru that" Jean said. "She needs help"
"And we will help her" Professor Xavier said. "I am going to talk to her as soon as she wakes up"
I just wanna say that I really do think that the Brotherhood have a soft side, they just hide it very well.
Jubilee slowly opened her eyes the light in the room was soft but it still hurt to look, everything was blurry and it took a few seconds before she could make out the things around her. She slowly turned her head to the side feeling the pain going down her spine. Lance was sting in a chair beside her with his head on the bed sleeping peacefully, she looked around some more and saw the rest of her "Family" sleeping in different parts of the small white room she was in. She turned her gaze back to Lance who was still in his sleep holding her hand tightly.
She sighed loudly and tried to sit up but she didn't get very far as her body protested wildly against the movements. She was know half sitting up in the small bed and it was not very comfortable, she looked down at Lance again and squeezed his hand gently, his eyes opened right away looking up on her.
"Hey handsome think you can fluff my pillows?" She asked with a sore but still cheerful voice.
"Your awake" Lance said sitting up pulling her into a hug, even tough it did hurt Jubilee didn't mind she felt safe in his arms. "You really scared me there firecracker, don't ever do that again" he whispered in her ear.
"I wasn't planning on it" Jubilee whispered back.
"Hey you're up!" A high voice suddenly said. "Hey guys wake up, Xapp alive again!" Toad said and jumped up and down waking every single soul in the room.
"Hey!"
"How are you feeling?"
"We were so worried!" Was all Jubilee heard as they all hurried up to her side.
"Well I´m alive" Jubilee answered. "Atlist I think I am"
"Are you hurting?" Pietro asked her.
"Yeah some but its not to bad" She said trying to smile. "But a little magic pill wouldn't hurt" She added.
"I´ll go and look for the Doctor guy" Pietro told them and took of before anybody could response. Jubilee looked after hi and then looked back at the others.
"Lance?" She asked.
"Yeah?" He answered stroking her hair lightly.
"Did I…did I hurt anybody?" That question had been in the back of her mind ever since she woke up.
"No, no you didn't" He answered. "Well you did knock over a few people but they are fine nothing serious"
"Ah awake and up I see" A voice said from the door and Hank, Professor Xavier and Pietro came inside. "May I ask how you are feeling Miss. Lee?" the blue doctor asked her.
"Well its hurt everywhere my head is pounding but other then that I'm fine" She answered with a small voice, Hank nodded and went over to her fishing up a medicine bottle from his pocket and pored her a glass of water.
"Take these two, they should help with both the pain and headache" He sad and handled her the glass and two small green pills. "I will ´´prescribe´´ some more of these for you later on"
"Thank you" She said and swallowed the pills fast wanting the pain to ease.
"Miss. Lee I was wondering if I could have a word with you?" Professor Xavier asked. "In private" He added looking at her teammates. "There are some food prepared for you, you must be hungry"
The Brotherhood turned to look at Jubilee.
"I´ll be fine and half to eat think of little Pumbaa over there" She said and nodded towards Toad.
"Hey!" Toad said.
"You sure?" Lance asked ignoring his friend.
"I wont die or flip, promise" She told them with a smile since the pills had already begun to work. Lance sighed but stood up giving her a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room with the rest of the team close behind.
"They haven't left your side since we got you here" Professor Xavier told her. "I don't I have ever seen Scott so chocked"
"They aren't bad, maybe a little illegal, bad manners and stuff but still" Jubilee sighed. "I wanted to thank you by the way, for bringing me back" Professor Xavier smiled at her.
"You pulled yourself back Jubilation I simply gave you a push" He said.
"Yeah well thanks anyway"
"You are quit welcome" he told her. "And I wanted to talk to you about your powers"
"I didn't mean to do that, I just lost it" Jubilee said looking down in her hands.
"I know it wasn't your fault you never got a chance to deal with what happen to you" Xavier said. "And in the end it became too much for your mind" He paused for a second looking at her. "Well my point is that I think that you need to talk to someone"
"Like a shrink?" Jubilee asked looking up at him.
"Well yes, I have a friend who is a specialist in this aria" Xavier begun. "She has been thru a lot herself and I think that she would understand you and it would make things a little easier fro your mind"
"Yeah I guess I wouldn't flip either would I?" She asked. "Sure I´ll talk to her"
"Good I called her when you were asleep just to let her know"
"How often do I need to see her?" Jubilee asked.
"Twice a week maybe at first and then we could cut it down to one and that leads to the second thing I wanted to talk to you about"
"Okay what?"
"Even though the talking will as said make it easier on your mind your powers are still much more then you can control" He told her.
"Yeah I know" Jubilee said.
"You have both very powerful mental and physical powers and you need to learn to control them, its hard and it would take some time but I would like to help you"
"I can't leave them" Jubilee said. "I couldn't do that"
"I know and I wouldn't ask you to, but I would like you to come her atlist two times a week for sessions with me" he told her. "Its for your best, we wouldn't like you to go thru that again"
"Yeah I guess that sounds okay, I´ll talk and go to your sessions until I get control of my powers…I can do that"
"Good we will decided times later but know you must be hungry" He said soft.
"Try starved" She told him with a smile.
"I will ask on of your friends to bring you something and then Hank will be giving you a final checkup before he sends you home" He said as he was on hi way out the room.
"Okay and thanks again" She called after him.
"Your welcome" A gentle voice said in her head. She smiled to herself and lay back down again waiting for the food to come because she really was starving.
After another twenty-four hours Hank had finally let her go with the instructions that she needed a lot of rest and that she should take two of the greens pills a day one every morning and one at lunch. The Brotherhood members had taken her home as fast as they could not really wanting to stay with the X-men much longer. Lance had carried her inside and put her down on the sofa since she had nagged him the whole ride over to let her watch Buffy…hey everybody has there "things".
So know they were sitting there infront of the TV, Jubilee was curled up on the sofa with her head in Lance knee, Pietro was sitting by her legs, Fred was lying on the floor and Toad was in the big chair trying to get closer to Wanda who was in the chair next to him.
The music from the TV was filling the room and giving the room a soft glow, Lance had his arm over her and was stroking her skin lightly, and at that moment she just felt so safe so protected... this was the moment no one else saw. That they were more then just a "hood" they were a family all of them…in their own little way.
"Toad get away from me!"
"Oh come on sweetums you know you want me"
"No! know get away"
"I don't know Wanda your do kind of fit together"
"Shut up Pietro!" SMACK!
"Aw! What did I say?!"
"Hey I´m trying to watch TV here!"
"Oh be quiet Fred!"
"Wanna go to bed Jubs?"
"No, I wanna be right here, I´m fine don't worry Lance"
"Okay but let me know if you get tired"
"I will"
"Toad get of me!!"
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
