JUBILEE'S POSSESSION
PART TWO
A GULITY CONSCIENCE
As we flew back to the mansion, I watched Lady Deathstrike. If I had just killed Mariko, that would be one thing, but damaging her brain for life? I don't think I would be ok with that. After telling that to Wolvie, he said, 'Well why not ask Jeanie to scan her to see?'
"Jean?" I called to her.
"Yes Jubilee?"
"Can you do me a favor? Scan Mariko's mind, just to see if it's uh, you know, going to be whole again. I can't stand thinking that it would have been better if she died from that blast, instead of being brain dead or something."
"Ok, but I'm just going to make sure the damage you dealt is healing, nothing else."
"I'm not asking for anything else."
After a few moments of silence, Jean came back to reality saying "Well good news and bad news. The good news is her mind is healing, she's not going to be a vegetable or anything."
"And the bad news?" I asked dreading it.
"She's going to be a complete blank slate when ever she does wake, so much so, that she may need to learn to talk and basic motor functions all over again."
'Wolvie?' I thought.
'Yah kid?'
'I can't leave her like that. I, I know she killed you, and almost killed me, but, I have to help her, cause I did this to her. I turned her in to a new born.'
'Kid, you're too good. Well I won't mind, too much. In fact maybe with this second chance at life, Mariko won't make the same mistakes that led her here in the first place. But this is going to be a big job kid. She's deadly even with out her training. I guess I'll help too. It was me she was after, and it kinda was my fault her father died…"
'Dude, you killed him. But thanks Wolvie. I'll need your help.'
"Jubilee, JUBILEE!" Jean was shouting.
"What!" I yelled back.
"You were just mentally gone for a moment. You were staring out into space, and I couldn't sense your thoughts at all."
"I was talking with Wolvie. Sorry if I worried you. We decided to help Mariko learn everything from the ground up again."
"What?" was Scott's reply from the pilot's seat.
"I did this to her, I have to help her deal with it. And Wolvie said he'd help, cause he helped make her into what she was, and thinks he should make her second chance at life a good one, not filled with hate and vengeance like her last one."
