I Own Nothing
Thanks for the reviews and I'm sorry it took so long to update I've been busy.
Jubilee
Jubilation Lee or Jubilee to her friends was born in China; her parents had gone there to get the blessing of the matriarch of her mother's family for their union. They didn't get it, her family were very traditional and they did not like the idea that her mother had put the cart before the horse so to speak (sex before marriage). Her father was in some special branch of the U.S Army he was half American half Japanese, he did not know his parents as they put him up for adoption when he was young, he never was adopted, he stayed in the orphanage till he was old enough to join the army which he did.
Jubilee grew up on the army base, there were very few kids around and she was schooled in a small class, in fact when she thinks back she hardly ever left the base it was like some sort of very top secret base, even more so for her family Jubilee since a young age seemed to be able to make tiny explosions her father forced her to keep quiet he knew what the army would do if they ever found out.
'Dad, what you been up to today?' asked Jubilee jokingly knowing she would get the same answer she always did.
'Now Jubi, every day since you were 10 I come home and every day since you were 10 you ask me what I did and every day since you were 10 I have said...' her father stopped as both of them began to talk in unison '...I cant tell you it's a secret.'
Jubilee loved her parents especially her father she was a real daddy's girl, he looked like the most serious man in the world and when he was working he was but when he wasn't he was always full of laughter, Jubilee remembers one time he had turned up in her class as a clown on her sixth birthday 'Captain clown' wore full military uniform with big floppy shoes and a squirty flower, her father had took the day off work to surprise her and her classmates that day.
Jubilee walked home with her friends before turning off down her mini street which was on the base and built for soldiers families who were stationed there. Jubilee walked through the door to her hallway.
Jubilee walked towards the kitchen enticed by the smell of the brownies her Mom was baking, Jubilee's Mom was always baking or something, she had no where else to go it was not as if she could go clothes shopping on the base. Jubilee burst into the kitchen waving her arms in the silly way her and her mother did to greet one another. Her mother was not there, Jubilee threw her bag down as she walked round the breakfast counter pouring herself some milk from the refrigerator; she drank it down in one gulp before putting her glass in the sink and turning. Her face froze in a startled silence, she dropped to her knees in front of what she saw wanting to scream wanting to cry wanting to do something other then sit in silence. Her mother lay before her torso riddled with bullets as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
'Jubilation, listen to me' Jubilee turned to see her father standing over her with bloodied clothing 'I need you to leave, get off the base, there is a hole in the fence behind the house, go now, trust no one, I will find you' Jubilee tried to speak to her father but he shushed her 'We angered some very powerful people, they got your mother, they're coming back I don't think that I could handle it if they got you now go.'
Jubilee nodded as her father forced her from the door, she stood for a few seconds before running through their garden and sliding through the hole running away from the base her tears began to flow as she heard gunshots followed by her fathers screams.
In Jubilee's house there was a very different scene her mother and father walked into the kitchen carrying the weekly groceries laughing and smiling.
'Hmmm Jubilee is home, there's her bag' surmised her mother.
'Well done Sherlock' joked her father before walking to the base of the stairs 'Jubilee! Jubilee!' he yelled in his sweetest voice to no reply, he yelled again but still got no reply. He wandered up stairs looking for his daughter before coming back down 'must be at Michelle's' he guessed at his wife.
Midnights rolled around and by now the Lees were very worried, they had called Michelle's long ago and she had not seen their daughter since school, Mr Lee had phoned in every favour and gotten reports from every one of the bases personnel and no one had seen her. 1am took forever to arrive for the distraught parents when their door swung open revealing a man standing in front of them with a serious expression and an eye patch.
'Nick, where is she? You must know something?' asked Mr Lee knowing that if anyone in the world sneezed S.H.I.E.L.D.S best operative knew it.
'We have tried everything, every trick in the book; we have no idea where she is you taught her well.' Fury continued 'we do however know why she left, its you Stan, operation heavens light.' Mr Lee dropped to his seat after hearing this as Fury continued 'They used their best weapon to get her to leave, we think that if not already she is walking into the open arms of Emma Frost and the Hell Fire Club.'
Miles away in a large Victorian building several men sit assembled around a circular table in front of a huge roaring fire sipping there various drinks, all of the men were dressed in period costume.
'Are the hellions assembled Shaw?' asks one large man with a huge amount of fuzzy hair on his face.
'Almost we have many new recruits and myself and Emma are working on it, Jubilation Lee is our next protégé' replied the man Shaw who stood before the others stroking his black sideburns.
'Lee, as in the vile offspring of that fool who has foiled our plans so many times?' asked another member of the group.
'One and the same, she is a mutant...' Shaw was interrupted by another man with brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. 'Shaw you say myself and Emma, as far as I understand the White Queen is the one doing all the work with her powers, what exactly is your contribution?' he cut in before Shaw could speak 'Send Emma in she will tell us.'
The huge doors of the room swung open and in walked a woman, this woman was in her late teens or early twenties it was quite hard to tell which, he tossed her blonde hair behind her shoulders as she walked, her clothes were like something from a burlesque show, she dressed all in white including a white leather and lace corset which pushed up her bosom.
'You wish to see me?' she asked knowing the answer she was psychic after all. Shaw sent her a psychic command and she began.
'Xavier may have beat us to Pryde but I got there first this time, Lee is ours, I implanted the thoughts in her head that her parents were killed, she is alone, scarred, desperate and will be ours in no time.
Emma suddenly stopped as if locked in combat as a voice spoke within her head. 'Frost, you lose, we may not be able to locate Jubilee because of your bloc on her but we know where you are, we have had our division which deals with special individuals severe your link to her so now neither of us know where she is. Let me just say this White Queen we have more resources then you and we will find her first' Emma scowled as the voice of Nick Fury which was broadcast by another telepath ceased to speak in her head.
Jubilee wandered through alleys clothes ripped and torn it had been a couple of weeks since she saw her parents slaughtered, she hid often from police and people she thought were after her, she didn't know what was going on but her father always told her if you are not sure who to trust, trust only yourself. Jubilee ducked into the mall where she spent most of her time through a back fire escape, she was going to sneak into the public washrooms and clean up, maybe get some food somehow, and she had become quite adept at begging for money and putting on shows with her fireworks. She remembered what had happened the first time her skills had shown themselves.
Jubilee was about ten when she had sneaked from her home to visit Michelle who was having some problems at home, she had been sneaking across this large open concreted space between where the girls lived when she heard a growling behind her, it was a guard dog, it had slipped its collar and was about to attack her, the dog saw her as an intruder as it lunged for her. Jubilee let out a scream and put her hands up as colourful explosions launched from her hands hitting the dog and sending it scurrying away, her father had seen this from his window and ran out scooping Jubilee up in his arms before disappearing back into the home.
'She's around here somewhere he professor has narrowed it down to this mall' Jean grey sent a telepathic message to the other members of the search squad, Rogue, Storm and Kitty who were all dressed in normal clothes as not to draw attention. The girls searched one on each level of the mall, when I say the girls searched Rogue, Jean and Storm searched while Kitty looked in stores whilst keeping her eyes open for Jubilee.
Jubilee was also keeping her eyes open but not for the X-Men or should that be X-Women but for the police who often busted up her shows, Jubilee went in to her finale as the fireworks crackled she caught something out of the corner of her eye, it was a man watching her, nothing unusual you might think but he had his finger in his ear and was nodding as if listening to someone else. Jubilee didn't like to take the chance she scooped up her hat which had been filled with money and made a break for it, she was right the man began giving chase he was after her, more men dressed in military style casual wear joined the chase, suddenly they flew into the fountain they were running past blindsided by some unseen force, the force was soon seen as the X-Women ran past the fountain, Jean Grey's powers always come in handy, Jubilee ran to the fire escape slamming it behind her as the women pushed Kitty phased through. 'Hello' Kitty was startled by the quite beautiful girl before her dressed from head to toe in white greeting her so politely 'Like good night Kitty, Totally' mocked Emma as she placed her hands on her head as Kitty collapsed after being attacked by some sort of psychic attack. Emma motioned to her car as Jubilee wandered over and climbed in in a zombie like way.
Hours later Jubilee sat in a chair in front of The White Queen, Emma was playing around with her mind making her believe in things that never happened so that Jubilee will join The Hellions.
Meanwhile.....
'What is it you want Shaw?' asked a blonde man sitting in front of a huge desk which Sebastian Shaw reclines behind.
'Simple my dear Warren your time has come to ascend to your rightful place as a member of the inner circle' was Shaw's reply as he carefully watched the man seated in front of him wearing a long trench coat.
'No Shaw, My father made it perfectly clear and now I do as well the Worthingtons are finished with this club, we have paid our dues throughout the generations and we owe you nothing now, good day sir I will take my leave' Warren slid his chair away and began to stride towards the door, two guards who stood there stepped in the way blocking his path. Shaw began to speak 'That is truly a shame, your grandfather and his father before him and his father before him and even your own father for quite a while were valued members of the inner circle, in fact it was your father who brought me into the fold. One final point I think it would be a good idea for you if you remembered where the Worthington fortune came from.'
'That was a long time ago Shaw, we owe you nothing' replied Warren Worthington the third.
'True you owe us nothing but we owe you and your family a great deal, which is why we are making this offer, join us become the leader of our Hellions'
'What may I ask is a Hellion?' queried Worthington.
'You are not alone, through out time there have been beings such as you, such as us, the inner circle has kept its 'special' members safe and prosperous, with us you can be yourself with out fear and be amongst others with special gifts such as yours' Shaw smiled as he could see he had Warren's interest.
'I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about' replied Warren. Shaw quickly jumped in 'I'm sure you do' Shaw gave a nod as the guards seized Warren and tore off his coat revealing his giant white wings which stretched out behind his back finally unfurled.
'No more fear, no more dirty looks from your servants, you could have it all power, respect and normalcy. The Hellions are waiting, I'm sure I can trust you to make the right decision' Shaw smiled as Warren walked over the wall and opened the large windows leading to the courtyard.
'I'm sure I will, I'll think about it' replied Warren as he flew from the window leaving Shaw in the room with an evil grin across his face.
In the Xavier institute Wolverine and Nick Fury stood in front of Charles Xavier.
'I think it's a good idea Chuck, whoever they are they're holding a mutant girl who needs help, Fury says her family will have to go into hiding and it would be best if their daughter didn't go with them because if the military found out what she could do she could just become another weapon' Logan growled as he looked down at his hands remembering his own experiences with some super secret military operation where they experimented on him.
'Who are these people Mr Fury? I can sense there is much you are not telling us' asked Xavier as he watched the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
'Classified I'm afraid, lets just say there the power behind the power, they are as old as civilisation and many of them come into your specialist field. I just need to know Xavier can the girl stay here? We will free her ourselves. I understand you don't trust us but Logan does and you trust him' replied Fury.
'I never said I trusted you Fury but I know when your on the level, I can feel it, I can smell it just as well as Chuck' snarled Logan.
'Very well, Jubilation Lee has a place at this school, we will welcome her with open arms, good luck' Xavier wheeled himself from the room as Logan showed Fury to his waiting helicopter.
'You realise I'm coming with you right?' asked Logan.
'Your ops gear is already in the chopper' smiled Fury.
Jubilee sat reliving her greatest fears in the main chamber of the inner circle, Frost's mind games were working, in her mind Jubilee saw the Hell Fire Club as her friends her saviours from the government who had killed her family and was hunting her down.
'Very good my queen, I think the newest Hellion is nearly complete now nothing can stop us...' the guard spoke to soon as Wolverine and several armed soldiers burst through the doors led by Nick Fury.
'The girl is coming with us Shaw' commanded Fury.
'Now Nicholas we cant be allowing this, you cant just burst in here with armed soldiers and demand to take a student from our school don't you need a warrant of some kind?' mocked Shaw.
'Here's our warrant' growled Wolverine as 'SNIKT' his claws popped from his hands gleaming in the light streaming through the windows.
'Ah Weapon X, good to see you again' Shaw spoke with as ever an unwavering calm and tone in his voice that made you hate the man with a passion. Fury stopped Wolverine from surging forward and killing Shaw for his transgressions of calling Wolverine by his old codename Weapon X. Wolverine didn't know how but this man knew about his past which is more then Wolverine did which could only mean one thing this man was evil.
'Now we are all civilised people here...' Shaw stopped and looked at Wolverine 'well mostly, why don't we settle who takes the girl with a game of chess or something.' Shaw smirked 'I didn't think so, fine how about the age old way of the hell fire club, to stop the needles blood shed of our fine men and the nation's finest operatives one member of each side in a fight to the death?' Shaw smiled again at the soldiers.
'No way Shaw, how about we just take the girl and let you live' countered Fury.
'I'm sorry did I give the impression you had a choice?' Shaw clicked his fingers and the large man from earlier smiled as the soldiers dropped to the ground holding there chests and heads only Wolverine remained standing.
'Just one of our specialities, this man to my left can control forces exerted on others, your friends are slowly being crushed. Now let us begin' Shaw nodded to Emma who then stared into nothingness. The doors to the room opened as in stepped a teenage girl clad in leather with buckles and straps across her body, he skin had a very pink tint.
'This is Marrow one of our Hellions, she will be your opponent' stated Shaw as Wolverine turned to him.
'I will not fight to the death, I am not an animal' Wolverine growled at Shaw.
'My dear Weapon X you are, as is she' replied Shaw as a large spike of bone was driven through Wolverines back and out of his stomach as he collapsed in pain, the battle had begun.
Marrow circled the fallen X-Man twirling a long javelin style piece of bone which she had shed from her body, bone plates now covered her body making her look very in human.
'Stop wasting time and kill him' ordered Shaw knowing of Wolverines abilities to heal.
Marrow twirled her spear as she jumped forward driving it into Wolverines shoulder, Wolverine swung his arm cutting straight through the pole and rolling out of harms way before pulling the remainder of the pole from his shoulder, Marrow raised her arms and began to fire spikes of bone at Wolverine, which he had great difficulty dodging due to the fact he was not healed yet. Marrow darted at Wolverine as he dodged and swept her legs out from under her, he pounced on her sitting astride her making it impossible for her to move, Wolverine suddenly went flying as he was struck from behind by flashing lights, he turned to see Jubilee with her arms outstretched towards him. Wolverine growled knowing she was being controlled as he leapt forward slashing as some of marrows bone plates, his Adamantium did little but make a scratch.
'Her plates are almost as hard as your metal Weapon X' laughed Shaw as Marrow made her way to her feet and the two circled one another.
Suddenly the wall seemed to explode, debris flew across the room causing everyone to shield their faces, the dust settled to reveal Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Nightcrawler. Wolverine used this distraction as he hurtled forward driving his claws into the chest of Marrow driving them through the bone plates and through her heart.
'Almost just isn't good enough' sighed Wolverine as he brought his claws back in catching the fallen Marrow in his arms, 'I'm sorry'.
'Fine you win, the girls is yours' Jubilee crashed to the floor as Shaw said these words, Emma had released her grip and in that instant Xavier had cleansed her mind of Emma's illusions.
The soldiers stood and loaded Jubilee onto the X-Jet with the rest of the X- Men.
'Your lucky I don't bring you in Shaw' threatened Fury.
'Whatever for the girl came to us we gave her a roof over her head, then you burst in and kill a defenceless teenager, what would the authorities think' Shaw smirked again as did the other members of the inner circle.
'We will meet again Shaw and next time you wont get off so easy' threatened Logan as he stepped onto the jet as it took off.
'I don't believe we lost the girl' pouted Emma.
'No worries my dear, she was only taken for revenge, her powers were to weak to be of any real use. I think you are missing the bigger picture though....' Shaw stepped over the body of Marrow and began to pour himself a drink. '....She did what she had to, she was a brilliant distraction while we completed phase one of our plan' the inner circle laughed as they continued to drink.
The End
Well if you can't tell I'm using Jubilee to set up for future storylines I'm hoping to do (Evil laughter ensues).
Next time on X-Men Evolution- Jamie Madrox a normal boy, well normal boys, form birth he has been able to duplicate himself and share a sort of collective mind but what happens when he reaches the age of 12 and his duplicates begin to show parts of his psyche and he cant control them?
Thanks for the reviews and I'm sorry it took so long to update I've been busy.
Jubilee
Jubilation Lee or Jubilee to her friends was born in China; her parents had gone there to get the blessing of the matriarch of her mother's family for their union.

Shaw smiled again at the soldiers.
'No way Shaw, how about we just take the girl and let you live' countered Fury.
'I'm sorry did I give the impression you had a choice?' Shaw clicked his fingers and the large man from earlier smiled as the soldiers dropped to the ground holding there chests and heads only Wolverine remained standing.
'Just one of our specialities, this man to my left can control forces exerted on others, your friends are slowly being crushed. Now let us begin' Shaw nodded to Emma who then stared into nothingness. The doors to the room opened as in stepped a teenage girl clad in leather with buckles and straps across her body, he skin had a very pink tint.
'This is Marrow one of our Hellions, she will be your opponent' stated Shaw as Wolverine turned to him.
'I will not fight to the death, I am not an animal' Wolverine growled at Shaw.
'My dear Weapon X you are, as is she' replied Shaw as a large spike of bone was driven through Wolverines back and out of his stomach as he collapsed in pain, the battle had begun.
Marrow circled the fallen X-Man twirling a long javelin style piece of bone which she had shed from her body, bone plates now covered her body making her look very in human.
'Stop wasting time and kill him' ordered Shaw knowing of Wolverines abilities to heal.
Marrow twirled her spear as she jumped forward driving it into Wolverines shoulder, Wolverine swung his arm cutting straight through the pole and rolling out of harms way before pulling the remainder of the pole from his shoulder, Marrow raised her arms and began to fire spikes of bone at Wolverine, which he had great difficulty dodging due to the fact he was not healed yet. Marrow darted at Wolverine as he dodged and swept her legs out from under her, he pounced on her sitting astride her making it impossible for her to move, Wolverine suddenly went flying as he was struck from behind by flashing lights, he turned to see Jubilee with her arms outstretched towards him. Wolverine growled knowing she was being controlled as he leapt forward slashing as some of marrows bone plates, his Adamantium did little but make a scratch.
'Her plates are almost as hard as your metal Weapon X' laughed Shaw as Marrow made her way to her feet and the two circled one another.
Suddenly the wall seemed to explode, debris flew across the room causing everyone to shield their faces, the dust settled to reveal Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Nightcrawler. Wolverine used this distraction as he hurtled forward driving his claws into the chest of Marrow driving them through the bone plates and through her heart.
'Almost just isn't good enough' sighed Wolverine as he brought his claws back in catching the fallen Marrow in his arms, 'I'm sorry'.
'Fine you win, the girls is yours' Jubilee crashed to the floor as Shaw said these words, Emma had released her grip and in that instant Xavier had cleansed her mind of Emma's illusions.
The soldiers stood and loaded Jubilee onto the X-Jet with the rest of the X- Men.
'Your lucky I don't bring you in Shaw' threatened Fury.
'Whatever for the girl came to us we gave her a roof over her head, then you burst in and kill a defenceless teenager, what would the authorities think' Shaw smirked again as did the other members of the inner circle.
'We will meet again Shaw and next time you wont get off so easy' threatened Logan as he stepped onto the jet as it took off.
'I don't believe we lost the girl' pouted Emma.
'No worries my dear, she was only taken for revenge, her powers were to weak to be of any real use. I think you are missing the bigger picture though....' Shaw stepped over the body of Marrow and began to pour himself a drink. '....She did what she had to, she was a brilliant distraction while we completed phase one of our plan' the inner circle laughed as they continued to drink.
The End
Well if you can't tell I'm using Jubilee to set up for future storylines I'm hoping to do (Evil laughter ensues).
