Interlude
Location: Westchester, NY Xavier's School for the Gifted
"Professor, it's been a while since we've heard from the Massachusetts Academy. Maybe we should pay them a visit and see how they are progressing?"
"That's an excellent idea Jean. Why don't you go contact Emma and Sean. I'll inform the others."
(30 minutes later in the War Room)
"When are we heading out Professor?" Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops, asked after he heard about the trip to go visit Generation X.
"Yes Professor. I can not wait to see how our young team is doing. Especially Jubilee." Ororo Munroe (Storm) said.
"As soon as Jean makes the arrangements with the headmasters."
"I say we just go."
"You would, wouldn't you Logan. But we must respect Emma and Sean's wishes if they decide it is not a good time to come." Ororo told her friend in a calm manner.
"That's right mon ami. But what is taking Jean so long?" Gambit asked.
"Ah don't be so impatient, my Cajun friend. Here she comes now. What news do you bring us Jean?" Hank McCoy, the Beast, asked as he saw Jean entering the War Room.
"I've been trying to contact Sean and Emma, but no one is answering." Jean said worriedly.
"Maybe they took the kids out for the day. There is no need to worry." Professor told Jean, which seemed to calm her down. "If we cannot make contact with them within the hour, then we shall make a surprise visit."
"Sounds like a plan. Jubilee will be excited about this," Scott said, and with a little smile playing on his lips added, "But Emma sure won't."
"Who cares what Frost thinks. Jubes will be glad to see us." Logan added in.
"Yes de petite loves surprises."
"Then it is settled. Everyone go pack and be ready in one hour." Scott ordered.
Everyone, except Jean and Professor Xavier, left the War Room and started getting ready for the said trip.
"Professor, do you think Jubilee has remembered anything about Angelo's death?"
"I do not think so Jean. If she has, then I am more then positive we would have heard from Emma by now."
"I guess you're right." Jean hesitated for a little while and then asked the question that has been bothering her for some quite time. "Do you think we did right by tampering with Jubilee's memories?"
Professor sighed and then said, "We had no other choice. Having Angelo die right in her arms was more than she can bear. We would have lost her that night too."
"Yes, that is true. She has been through quite a lot in such a young life. But what if she finds out that not only did we tamper with her memories without her permission, but that we know the people she thought of as her parents weren't her real parents and didn't tell her."
"I have been thinking the very same thing. As you said before, Jubilee has been through a lot at such a young age. At one point she was at the hands of Bastion, who was able to break through her mental shields and make her believe we were all dead. After Wolverine found her and brought her back, she didn't believe it was us, that we must have been clones. It took us a while to make her realize that we weren't killed and a little bit more to regain her trust. I believe that once she finds out what we have done and kept from her, she will lose trust in all of us once again."
"I pray that she will understand and forgive us. I love her so dearly and do not want to lose her."
"As we all do. For she is so full of life and energy that makes us realize what we are fighting for and our hope is restored. Come Jean, let's get ready."
(1 hour later)
"Alright, we have not been able to contact Sean or Emma. So it seems we are making a surprise visit. Everyone in the Blackbird." Scott ordered the X-Men, which consisted Storm, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, Jean and the Professor.
(2 more hours at the Massachusetts Academy)
"Eh… Fearless leader, de place looks to be empty." Gambit said observing the lawn, which was covered in weeds and dead flowers.
"Yes. It looks like this place hasn't been taking good care for a while." Storm said sadly that Gen X let their gardens die.
"Let's head inside. I'm sure Sean and Emma were probably to busy to care of the lawn." Professor said, wanting to leave such a depressing sight.
Everyone followed Xavier inside, but what they found was more shocking then what they saw outside.
"Oh my stars and garters!" Beast said quietly.
"WHAT THE HELL! WHERE IS EVERYONE?" Logan yelled.
Not waiting for an answer, he ran upstairs, Gambit following right behind him, to where Jubilee's room used to be.
Once in Jubilee's old room, Wolverine found his old beaten up cowboy hat that he had given Jubilee and when he sniffed, her scent was already fading away.
Gambit completely ignored what Wolverine was doing, and started searching the room for any clues. The only thing he found were pictures that Jubilee had taking of them inside a trash bin beside her bed.
(Back Downstairs)
Professor, Scott, Jean and Storm could hear Wolverine going through the rooms upstairs. They couldn't believe it. Emma, Sean, and the kids were gone. A few pieces of furniture were still there that showed that at some point someone lived there, but that was about it.
"Professor what could have happen?" Storm asked, walking around with Scott and Jean hoping to find any clues that might help them determine what happened.
"I do not know. It does not seem as if they were attack. It looks more like….."
"…The packed up and left," Scott finished for him. "But why?"
Just then, Beast came back from searching other sections of the school.
"All the equipment is gone. Every bit of technology that we left them and the one's Forge built for them has been taking. What is going on Professor, Scott?"
Gambit and Wolverine came back downstairs just in time to hear what Beast just said.
"Logan, Gambit, did you two find anything?" Jean asked hopefully that they did find something.
"Nothing. Everything, but some furniture, is gone." Gambit answered in disbelief, not wanting to show them that he had found some pictures of them, with Jubilee in some, in a trash bin crumbled up.
"Logan, can you still get any of their scents?" Scott asked.
"Barely. Their scent is old and almost gone. No one has lived here for a while."
"All of you hold it right there! You are all trespassing on private property!" Someone yelled from behind them, pointing a gun right at them.
They all turned around and once the person saw that they were all wearing an 'X' symbol, he put the gun down.
"You must be the X-Men. Emma and Sean warn me you guys would be coming."
"Yes officer we are the X-Men. I am Professor Xavier."
"Chief Authier. Thought you guys were coming earlier then this. I'd almost gave up hope on you guys ever coming."
"Alright, bub! Where is everyone?" Wolverine said about to lunge out on Chief Authier, but Storm was able to stop him before he could get his hands on him.
"Don't really know. They just asked me to keep an eye on this place and said their goodbyes to my daughter and me. Sure do miss them though." Chief Authier responded, not even bothered by Logan or anyone else and looked around. "This place sure needs a good dusting, but that isn't part of my job description."
"Chief Authier, just how long have they been gone?" Professor Xavier asked.
"Just about 3 months, maybe 4."
"Did Emma of Sean leave anything explaining where they went? A message or a note?" Scott asked.
"Oh yes. Emma left you this. She said she didn't care who I gave it to, just as long it was one of the X-Men." Authier then took a note out of his pocket and handed it over to Scott.
Scott read out loud:
Dear X-Men:
If you are reading this, then Chief Authier has done his job. There is really nothing to explain. We packed up and moved, as I am sure you can see. To where we moved is really none of your damn business. No need to ask Authier, for he does not know. Sean and I might have told you, but out students did not want us to. And this does include Jubilation, especially Jubilation.
Have a nice life and maybe we just might see you in the near the future.
Sincerely,
Emma Frost, the White Queen
P.S.
Everett does not know either; well he did until I erased it out of his memory. The only way you can get it out of him is if you get go in his mind yourself, but that would cause him serious brain damage if you do for I made sure you will never find out.
"Well, I'll leave you guys alone. But before I do, I must ask you all to leave. Like I said, you are on private property."
With that said, Chief Authier left the X-Men alone.
"None of our damn business! Once we find her and Sean, I'm going to rip them to pieces and spread their remains all over the world!" Wolverine fumed, pacing up and down, extracting and retracting his claws.
Storm took the note out of Scott's hands and reread the note to herself.
"Logan." Storm said his name calmly at first. When he didn't hear her she yelled, "LOGAN!"
This made Wolverine stop and look at her.
"WHAT!"
She was still looking at the note, with tears forming in her eyes. "They didn't want us to know they left or where they went to." Was all she could say.
"Especially de petite." Gambit said as he too reread the note.
Wolverine, Scott, Jean and the Professor let that sink in. No one said anything for a while.
Scott put his arms around his wife, who was on the verge of tears herself.
Beast then spoke up and said in a sad voice, "oh my stars and garters."
No I decided not to add in Bra. I erased the part where i wrote that she had a sister if you guys want to re-read that part, but that's the only change i made.
So in the next chapter...
Goku secretly trains Jubilee.
