Logan's hand shot out and grabbed Jubilee. He yanked her towards him. Taris growled at Logan now. The fuzzy Canadian knew he wouldn't attack though. He had recognized Logan as Jubilee's "master." The feral inside Logan was taking over, but Logan still had control of it. Taris the half man half tiger slowly backed down. He knew Logan would do everything and anything to protect Jubilee.

The X-Men stared at the scene with wide eyes.

"How did you do that Logan?" Asked Scott, his fearless mask up again.

"I made him accept the fact that Jubilation is my daughter in a way." He replied. "It's all in the pheremones." There are things he won't understand about what's been done, but he knows Jubilee is safe with me at least.

"C'mon Jubes," He gruffly said. "I think it's time to getcha outa his way." He started pulling Jubilee towards the door when she pulled free of his grasp.

"No," She defied him. "I wanna know why my friend attacked me." She stood stubbornly in the room, denying Logan's order to take her out of the lab.

"Jubes, I'll tell ya out there, away from him." Logan pointed at Taris with his thumb.

"Wolvie, I know you, and when you've like, got that tone of voice, I know I'll never find out." Jubilee walked up to Taris and looked him square in the eyes.

"What is like, up with you man?" She put her hands on her thin hips and leaned forward slightly. Taris growled deep in his throat. He took a deep wiff of her scent in and slowly let it out. He was memorizing her scent forever imprinting her on his memory.

Is that strawberry's I smell? She must use a strawberry shampoo. Thought the part of Taris that was defying his feral part. Taris grinned ferally. His fangs were sharp. Unlike some of the Shi'Aki, he was against making them dull.

"I said, what is like, up with you?" Jubilee was frustrated, he could smell it. She put her hands on his shoulders and brought hre face inches from his. Bad move.

"Like, answer m...!" Her demand was cut short as Taris closed the distance between them, and pressed his lips to hers. Honey, she tastes like honey. Logan rushed over and pulled Jubilation from Taris' grasp.

"That answer yer question frail?" Said the white tiger to her telepathically.

"Don't listen to him right now, his feral is in control." Wolverine warned her.

"I'm gonna make ya mine Jubes, just wait 'til I get my hand's on ya."

"Shut up Taris." Logan's feral was itching for a fight. The mix of tiger and man grinned.

"I don't want to know what you're gonna do to me if you "get your hands on me," but I do know, this is NOT my friend talkin' so I'll tell you this, I want my friend back, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to help him get control again." With that she turned on her heel and left the room.

Jubilation went straight to her room after her confrontation with the animal in Taris. The fact that Taris was talking in his feral state through his mind must mean that there's still a bit of him left. She put two fingers on her lips. He kissed me. It was not meant to be anything but a kiss of pure want, but part of Jubilee still got excited. Taris wanted her, HER. She would never let him know that she was excited. If he wanted to play tough, then Jubilee was more than ready for him. But first things first, time to make amends with Bobby. Who knows when I'm gonna need his help.

Jubilee began her search for Bobby in the kitchen. Just where I figured He'd be. Jubilee stiffled a giggle as she watched Bobby dig through the pantry searching for Hank's hidden stash of twinkies.

"Try the cabinet above the fridge Bobster." Jubilee suggested.

"Oh, thanks Jubes." He replied then reached into the cabinet. Mid reach he frozed solid and looked at her.

"Hiya Icy." She attempted a small smile as he glared at her.

"What do ya want?" His voice was cold and clipped.

"I figured we shoud make amends 'cause we ARE best friends afterall, and I mean, what I'm tryin' to say is..." Jubilee was rambling on but she couldn't stop herself.

"Spit it out already." He demanded.

"I miss you Bobby!" She blurted out. "You're my best friend, can we just forget the prank and get over it?" The sandy haired boy sighed.

"I've missed you too Jubes, I guess my feelings were just a little hurt." He confessed. "But it was probably my pride gettin' in the way."

"Yay!" Jubilee launched herself into his arms. "Thank God that's over!" She smiled and they laughed together.

Back in the lab the X-Men were trying to calm Taris down so they could help him.

"Taris, could you please listen to me?" Jean's frustrated voice pleaded. Taris in his half tiger half man form was growling at anybody who got close.

"Jeanie, you might as well give up." Logan's gravelly voice told suggested. "Just leave this to me." He walked straight up to Taris and look him in the eyes. The white tiger growled ferociously. "Look kid, let's just get straight to the point, you aren't going to get Jubes in yer bed anytime soon so why doncha just fight me instead of takin' yer anger out on them?" Taris was screaming internally at his feral side. Stop this! You're not a monster! You're a man! His screams were to little avail.

"Sure." The feral Taris said.

"To the danger room boy, no need to mess up the lab." Logan motioned for Taris to take the lead. As soon as Taris was in front of him, Logan smacked him in the temple. Taris dropped down to the floor unconcious.

When Taris woke up he was strapped to a table in the infirmary with a splitting headache. He groaned. Oh crap, what've I gotten myself into?

"Ah, I se you're awake." The beast's voice seemed to be a yell in Taris' ears, making his headache worse.

"Please, lower your voice." He whispered.

"My apologies, how're you feeling?" Hank's voice was much lower this time.

"Like I just got hit by a semi going sixty miles per hour." Hank chuckled.

"I thought as much, Logan did hit you quite hard."

"Why am I strapped to the table?" Taris tried to scratch his itch on his arm but could not reach it.

"Well, when you were feral, we didn't know if you would wake up the same way, or go back to your old self." Hank actually looks unsure!

"You don't have anything to worry about Hank." He smiled at him. "See? All me, completely in control."

"I'll have to ask Jean or the professor to check your mind before I let you out."

"It's okay Hank, I already checked out his mind." Said Jean, standing in the doorway leading into the infirmary.

"Jean! I did not hear you come in! You say you have checked his mind?" Jean nodded. "He is back to himself?"

"Yup, he's all back to his good ole self." Jean smiled at Taris.

"Thank God, I did not enjoy being... that." Taris shuddered at the memory.

"You best get used to it Taris, from what the professor says, it's your mutation, to become the white tiger, so we've scheduled you up for some training with Logan, so he can help you with your feral side." Jean explained.

"And here I was hoping it was just a phase, now you've gone and dashed away my hopes." Taris sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Is that sarcasm I sense?" Jean inquired full well knowing it was. Taris smiled and raised both his eyebrows multiple times quickly.

"Seems you are out of luck this time my friend." Said Hank with sympathy.

"Well, I have to go help Scott with his next class." Jean said excusing herself from the room.

"And I must finish some work in my lab, so I shall bid thee farewell." Said Hank. As soon as they left Taris realized they had not released him from the table

"Crap."
