JUBILEE AND JUBILATION
PART THIRTEEN
TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES
"Jubilee, I think it's time…" Doc Started. Then we were interrupted by a knock at the door."
"Miss Frost," Paige Said through the door "a Mister Fury is here to see Mr. Logan. He's being very rude. He won't wait till you finish your meeting, he says it's a mater of life or death."
She breathed deeply and sighing said "Send him in dear. Honestly, your friends Logan."
"Logan," Nick said striding into the room. "care to tell me What you did to get a anomonce billion dollar bounty on your head?"
"WHAT?' Everyone in the room yelled.
"Damn, that explains Sabertooth's Cheating. It wasn't personal this time. It was business." Wolvie said bitterly.
"So somebody already tried to collect. What happed?"
"I died."
"You look fine to me."
"Sit down Nick. This will take awhile."
After telling the story, yet again, Nick said, "You're the cause behind Last night's explosion in Canada? My god! The power ratings from that blast were off the scale! If this is true, then you must be Omega Class! You never ranked that high before!"
"Actually, Nick she's beyond the Omega Class." Henry said. He really doesn't know when to keep quite.
"Is that Possible? Then how strong is she?"
"We surmise that she is now the most powerful being on the planet." Henry said, Not taking the silent hints from every one to shut the hell up.
"This is a nightmare. I've got to report this to the president. Sorry but he charged Shield with finding the cause of that blast. You're lucky that this isn't a president that hates mutants he,"
"Prefers to keep tabs on them, yes? Like those Shield agents two doors down from us?' Frosty said.
"Or the ones across the street from the mansion?' Jean through in.
"I Told him you'd spot them. He said he didn't care if you did, just make sure no one else did. I'm sorry, but orders are orders."
"I know how it is Nick." Logan said.
I said "Jubilation just had the most wonderful idea."
"Who's Jubilation, Why are you talking about your self in the third person?" Nick asked.
"Did you not listen when I said she's a split personality? Jubilation's her other personality's name. What's the idea?' Wolvie shot at Nick and then me.
"Oh this just keeps getting better and better." Nick said.
"Well the presidents going to want to watch me, Right? Well what better way to watch me then to live with me, Hmm."
"And what do you get out of it?" Nick said supicisly. He was a smart man. He knew I was playing 'let's make a deal'.
"It's simple really. Bish thinks I need a body guard. He volunteered to do it, all by him self, but that's kind of impossible. I've been thinking. What happens when word of my abilities gets out? Will Some supervillen try to brain wash me to their side like what happened to Jean? And don't forget, if that happen, they'll get Jean in the bargain. So this is the deal, if Emma let's them in to her home, I'll let them follow me every where, because they'll be my body guards."
"What! You're asking for Shield body guards!"
"Hey, they'll be watching me anyway, might as well get some thing out of it."
"Jubilee,"
"Yah, Doc?"
"As I was saying before Nick came in, Why don't you introduce everyone to Jubilation, like your supposed to, remember?"
I sighed. "Fine Doc. One Jubilation coming out." And then she took control.
"Hello, I'm Jubilation." Everyone was unnerved by my sudden transformation, but Nick was the most.
"Those eyes, I only see those type of eyes in…" he said trailing off. He turned to the Doc and said "What flavor is she?"
"I beg your pardon?" the Doc asked shocked.
"Which is she, a psychopath, or a sociopath? The eyes don't lie doc, I've only seen those type of eyes on them."
"Nick, you're going too far!" Wolvie yelled.
"Nick she is a patent I can't…"
"If you don't I'll get a court order on your files. Now which is she. And is she dangerous?"
"Doctor Samson if you don't tell him I will. It changes nothing, Logan Knows, Jean's guessed, and the other would find out sooner or later. This way you can explain her not being a threat." Frosty spoke with reason in her voice.
"Fine. You're right Emma. The Jubilation personality would be classified as a sociopath." Gasps around the room at this. "Please do not mistake her for the common misconception of a sociopath, a remorseless killer. No Jubilation is a sociopath in the sense that she feels no guilt for anything she done. Not killing, not torture, nothing."
"But then why did she create Jubilee? It seemed it was out of self loathing, but a sociopath wouldn't hate themselves would they?" Jean asked.
"Well, usually not, but Jubilation, I believe, became a sociopath out of mental self preservation. But that does not mean that she likes being one. She also has a deep need to be liked and excepted, and can not see any liking her, which is why the Jubilee mask was created, it was to show the world the things about herself she didn't hate. Then she met Logan, and made the so called mask of Jubilee into the personality she is now, because she couldn't stand being behind the mask any more, she wanted to just go away and hide from the world and deny what she truly is."
"So we've got a self loathing sociopath on our hands. And you say that's not a threat?" Nick asked, shocked.
"The only times she's done anything that would be considered, wrong by society, is when she feels her safety is threatened. If she does feel that her safety is threatened, and is in control at the time, then yes, I'll admit, she could be a danger, but only to those that are threatening her."
"What could she do, if she felt threatened? What has she done?" Nick asked.
"I can't say."
"Nick?" Jubilation said.
"Yes, Jubilation is it?
"Let me give you an example, since were getting all this out him the open. Are you still looking for Bastion?"
"Yes."
"I suggest you stop. You'll never find even trace DNA of his remains."
"What the hell did you do to him?"
"If you must know, after he tortured and raped Jubilee, I came out and tortured him. Then I atomized the body."
"This is just fucking great." Nick moaned. "I have your word Doc. She only a threat to those that threaten her?"
"I believe it to be so. Yes you have my word."
"I'll call the president now. He's going to be fit to be tied, but I think you just won. You'll get those body guards. He's gonna want to watch you like a hawk."
As Nick went to a corner of the room to talk to the president, Jubilation talked to the others.
"You know she was a sociopath? And you're going to date her?" Kitty asked getting over her shock.
"Yes Kitty. But I've dated worse. Hell I married worse."
"Oh you just had to bring her up."
"Yes I did. Now you all heard the Doc. Jubilation only a danger to those that she perceives as being a danger to her. She's not going to go out on a killing spree or set out to conquer the world. Hell all she wants is to be left alone. We have to beg her to come out as it is. If not for the Doc making her come out at least two hours daily, I doubt we'd ever see her."
"May I ask a question?" Betsy said addressing the Doc.
"Go ahead."
"Why are you asking her to be out two hours daily? If she is even a slightest threat, why bring her out at all. Now don't get me wrong I haven't changed my mind about her, if anything this confirms my suspicions that she won't be a threat unless some one makes her one, but, she is more likely to feel threatened an reply, negatively, shall we say, then Jubilee."
"I'm doing it because, if she's out, around friend and family that will show love and support, then maybe she'll stop being so full of self loathing, which would make her less of a danger."
"I see. That is logical." Betsy acknowledged.
"Well," Kitty said nervously, "I hope to get to know you better. Do you think we can stat now?"
"How?"
"Uh, Smalltalk? I don't know. I never had to meet some one who's known me for years, but I don't know them."
"Smalltalk, eh?' Jubilation laughed. "I can't remember the last time I made small talk."
"Maybe you should try it again?" Kitty asked.
So Jubilation and Kitty talked about a semi neutral subject, Wolvie, while the others watch with total conviction.
