A/N: I'm sorry that the chapter is short but this story has been giving me a bunch of problems. It's so annoying! You wouldn't believe how long it took me to write this chapter!
iamhollywood: Thanks for your review! I'm a big fan of pairings that you don't usually see; kind of how you paired Amara with Todd.
dizi: Thanks for the review. This is about as far as my brainwave goes for the moment. I have a few ideas but their more like random images.
B Oots: I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I should be updating Portal Home soon, I just need to finish off the chapter and wait until my co-writer gets back from holiday. It should be posted in September as she is gone for a month.
When Jubilee heard the familiar Russian accent and felt the arms holding her shoulders securely, she couldn't stop the feeling of euphoria that suddenly swept through her body. She became lost in her own world as she tried to decipher the reaction her body was making towards Piotr.
She peered up at Piotr's face and studied his chiselled features. She could see his mouth moving; he was trying to tell her something but the words weren't making their way to her ears.
"Huh?" she asked, her face projecting her confusion. She realised she must have looked like an idiot but that was the most coherent thing she could say. Piotr let out a sigh, "I asked whether you were alright. You seemed to be having trouble with your powers."
Being able to understand what Piotr had said this time, Jubilee quickly pulled herself together.
"Who me? I'm fine. Perfect, in fact. How are you?" Jubilee could tell that Piotr wasn't buying it. He could always tell when there was something wrong. Before he could have a chance to say anything, she swiftly steered the conversation into a new direction.
"Ya know, I've been meaning to talk to you, in fact, I was looking for you. We haven't had a chance to just hang out so I thought we could, you know, catch up on old times I guess. Whaddaya think?" She knew he would have noticed the topic change but was hoping he would go with it rather then ignore it and bug her about it.
Piotr frowned at the sudden change of topic, he knew there was something that wasn't being said but he also knew that Jubilee would tell him in her own time. He nodded in agreement, "I would like that very much, maybe we…"
A sudden yell from the food court cut Piotr off. Both Jubilee and Piotr looked at one another before heading over to the commotion.
