JUBILEE AND JUBILATION
PART TWENTY ONE
NICK'S LIST
Well it was Monday again. That meant school, Ugh. Well for the second school day in a row, some thing interrupted my schooling. "Jubilee, please come to my office, the paperwork's here."
I got up and left, with the class and Sean wishing me 'Good luck.'
As I got to the office, Frosty, s (I will not call her mom. She'll always be Frosty to me.) lawyers were looking over some documents, and Nick and Frosty were talking. "Well Jubilee, after these monkeys say everything is in order, and Frosty signs on the dotted line, you'll be Jubilation Frost, how does it feel? Any questions?" Nick told me.
"Well it feels great, but I do have a few questions for you, not pertaining to this though."
"Well what are they?" Nick asked.
"Well the first was, how the hell did I get on that list?"
"What list?" He asked looking puzzled.
"On being your fourth choice for back up. Are you nuts? The first three are the greatest warriors I've ever met! On can I be after them?"
"Yes Nick. It did seem a little strange to put her after them. And I won't even ask how she met Frank. I can see the answer already. Logan does introduce you to some, interesting people Jubilee."
"I won't even ask how the two of you know about that. I couldn't take it. Remember that bar brawl down in Manipor? You know which one. Remember what you did in it?"
"Oh, that. I take a knife for you and that's it?'
"What?" Frosty yelled.
"Well it was like this, some idiot broke the only unofficial rule of a bar brawl in The Princess, no weapons. He went to stab Nick here in the heart, with his back turned. So I did the only thing I could think of. I put my arm in the way of the knife taking the blade in my forearm."
"Then she brought the guy down. Braking his nose with her other fist and his knee with her foot."
"Then I passed out to blood loss and pain. And that stupid stunt put me on that list?"
"They're not just on there for fighting prowess, which you have plenty of, as I've seen. No they're on it because all four of you, even Frank for some god unknown reason, I doubt he feels guilty about that, but maybe, anyway, they all try to make sure if I'm fighting them, we both come out alive. You'd do that to. You'd make sure we'd both come out alive. I can tell from your fighting. You want every one of the people you're fighting with to make it home safely, and you'll do anything to see to that. That's why you're on that list."
"Nick," I began, but then he said
"That's enough about it Jubilee, the next question?"
"Fine. Why are all my records and stuff being taken over by Shield, not that I'm not grateful to never have to deal with the IRS, but…"
"Control, Jubilee, control."
After that, the lawyers broke it up saying every thing was in order, Frosty signed her name, and I went back to class Jubilation Frost.
