JUBILEE AND JUBILATIN

PART NINE

ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION

"Um, I have a question, but it's for Miss Gray, not the two Jubes." Jono started. Little did I relies that was going to be my new nickname, the two Jubes, or just Jubes when politely addressing us both. "If that's ok it is?"

"Well what is the question? I'll try my best to answer it."

"Well Miss Grey, um I may regret this but, the gel said the Phoenix is terrified of her. And then you kept saying that it wasn't without good reason. And that before her nobody who could, would do what she did. And before that Miss Frost said that Jubilation got the Phoenix to obey you, but I knew then that there was a hell of a lot left out. What the bloody hell did she do to it that was so god damn terrible that you think we're to young and innocent to hear!" H mentally Shouted. Hey he can only talk via telepathy now. And he's so good at it that you constantly forget that he's not actually talking to you. You just hear his Conakry accent. Till he gets mad and starts yelling and screaming. Then all you have is a world class headache. It's no wonder that after me, he's the one that Frosty tries not to piss off. The three of us, me, Jean and Frosty, and well Monet too, but to a lesser degree, she wasn't even near Frosty's class, and with this the stronger the telepath, the worse it is to them. Well the tree of us were just blinking, with our heads pounding, when he, not getting an immediate answer, started yelling more ad even louder. "I am sick and tired of when anything bad happens you adults try to hide it from us! It never works! We always find out! IT JUST PROVES THAT YOU HAVE NO BLOODY TRUST FOR US! GOD…"

I couldn't take it any more. I did what Jubilation did to Jean earlier today. I used my power to freeze him, but took it even further then that. I also froze his ability to communicate, by freezing the speech centers in his brain. When I recover, enough to be able to think strait again, I still had one monster of a headache, I realized that stopping his brain functions with my paff's instead of my telepathy was a very bad thing. And before irreversible brain damage set in I released him, screaming "JONO YOU FUCKING IDIOT! DID IT EVER ACCURE TO YOU THAT THE RESON YOU WEREN'T GETTING THE GOD DAMN ANSER WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE SHOUTING AT A TELEPATH? YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO THAT! FROSTY'S IN SHOCK, JEAN"S ALMOST AT A CATATONIC STATE AND JUBILATION PASSED OUT CAUSE SHE WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT AT THE TIME! IF I DIDN'T FREZZE YOU LIKE THAT ALL FOUR OF US WOULD HAVE PASSED OUT FOR GOD KNOWS HOW FUCKING LONG! AS IT IS JUBILATIONS OUT COLD AND I CAN'T WAKE HER YOU IDIOTIC PRICK! I HAVE HALF A MIND TO…"

"Jubilee!" Frosty shouted, brining me out of my rant. I turned to see her by Jean, who was on the floor. "Please stop yelling. I need to concentrate to bring Jean back to reality, and your help would be useful. She always was stronger then me, as much as I hate to admit it, but as the Phoenix, I just can't seem to touch her mentally. Her shields are too great even in this state." She sounded disgusted at that. It always stuck in her craw when that happened.

"Ok Frosty, lets switch places. You give Jono the chewing out he so richly deserves, and I'll wake jean up. But I think we've seen the last of Jubilation for the night, sorry, but she's passed out at the moment, and I can't wake her up. She'll come out of it when ever she does."

"Fine, don't worry about it. This was beyond both your control. You will face no repercussions for not having her out the full two hours. It was this boy's anger management problems that almost made us all pass out. He will pay for that, believe me, he will pay. I'm going to have to wait till I'm much, much calmer to decide his fate though. All I want to do now is feed him to Jubilation's righteous anger upon her waking, but that might result in the poor boy's death, so I need to be calm, be very, very calm."

"But Jubilee, are you sure you can bring Jean back alone? I mean you don't have much experience with your telepathy."

"That's true Frosty and even though I now know what Jubilation knows about our power, I'd ask for your guidance, if I was going through the shields. If this fails, please help me go through them. But first I thought I'd try the backdoor."

"Backdoor? What do you mean? There are no psychic backdoors, unless some one else creates them! Jubilation! She didn't!"

"No she didn't. Don't worry. It's not so much a true psychic backdoor, as it is a, weakness she has to us." Frosty still looked puzzled. She still didn't get it. Well time for an obvious hint. "Just watch me Frosty, oh and you might want to get out the fire extinguisher." I said turning around.

"Oh, no! everyone back away from the table, and Sean get that fire extinguisher now!"

"What's she doing Miss Frost?" Paige asked. She wanted to be the leader and still she could not see the brilliance of my plan.

"Paige dear," Frosty said with no emotion "She's going to wake the Phoenix, and ask it to wake up Jean."

"And it will listen to her?" Monet sounded almost board as she asked. A lie I tell you, a lie.

"Yes, it's too scared of her not to. Now be quite and no sudden moves as it wakes."

"Um, if it's gonna listen to the chica, why are we going to imamate statues?"

"Because my dearest Angelo, just because Jubilee scares it, doesn't mean it's scared of us. And it hates me with a passion. So, let's all play pretend children, let's pretend that we're trapped in a small cage with a hungry ferocious lion and the only thing protecting us is the lion tamer, because that is about to happen. Jubilee, we're ready, if you please?"

"Phoenix wake up you damn little birdie!" I shouted. The air around the unconscious Jean filled with fire in the shape of a bird. "Hi there little birdie, remember me, yes that's right, I'm the other half. Well Jean had something bad happen, yes that's right, she's unconscious now, so I need you to wake her up. Now, now. Don't be a bad little birdie and not do as I say, or you'll get your punishment from me instead of her. Yes she is too. But you know, if I have to punish you cause she's taking a little nap, well you'll get punished from her just because I punished you. And she'll be in a very, very bad mood when she punishes the poor little birdie. I've only seen her do her punishments when she was in a bad mood twice, and the second time it went on for a week and the poor little guy didn't make it. You don't want a punishment like that do you little birdie? No of course you don't. especially so soon as I've gotten done with you. That's right little birdie, you have no choice but to be a good little birdie. You'll wake your mistress up and continue to obey her because, that's right little birdie, both halves will punish the poor little birdie if it doesn't listen. That's a good little birdie, continue to be good and you'll have no problems from the two of us. Ah, the little birdie did it. It woke it's mistress. Well go back to where you belong little birdie, under your mistress heel. Bye, bye little birdie, we'll meet again." I said as it disappeared into Jean.

"Oh, my head, what happened?" I told Jean about the danger of Jono yelling and what happened after that. She shot a death glare at Jono, who shank back, and thanked me for waking her and making the Phoenix realize that both my personalities wanted it to behave.
