'Jubilee, the whole worlds going to hell and your just going to sit there?'

'Keep your hair on Wolvie I'm kinda busy here.' She paffed one of the robots shooting a laser beam at her, the safety was switched off in the danger room so she could fell the heat of the laser close to her skin. They were fighting in a mock castle ruins the aim was simply to avoid and destroy the mini sentinel robots that looked like the terminator unwrapped.

Logan was battling his way to a large set of intact wooden doors, once he had got there the simulation was over, If she didn't get there at the same time then she'd failed the mission. Logan was a few meters ahead of her. 'Come on Jubes, hurry it up.' He shouted.

She paffed her way through a bunch of Robots in front of her. 'JUBES WATCHOUT!' She turned around to come face to face with the cold steel eyes of the terminator rip off and the lighted up barrel of its gun. She felt an unbelievable stinging sensation as a flash of light surrounded her. 'JUBES. COMPUTER OFF! CYKE COMPUTER OFF!' He rushed over her, looking at the deep gash on her arm, that was gushing blood on to her uniform. 'You okay Jubes?' He said looking at her.

'Fine.' She wasn't.

He gently pulled away the material, which stung, like hell. He stroked along the uninjured skin. Making her heart beat faster. He kissed her forehead. 'Sorry, I should have been watching your back.' He apologised before hooking his arm behind her knees and lifting her into his arms. 'I can walk. Logan I'm fine.' He ignored her complaining and carried her to the med lab.

Hanks cheeked her over insisting that she have stitches and stay the night. He had made Logan leave while he did the stitches knowing how much the man would fuss over his young partner.

'Hank?'

'I sense something is not quite right with you today Jubilation.'

'Do you mind if I start training with you?'

'Working on your agility, good idea. I would be delighted to have your company Jubilee. However my training sessions are booked straight after yours and Logans, are you sure you would not be overworking yourself?'

Jubilee sighed. 'I'm going to cancel my training sessions with Logan.'

Hank concentrated on the stitches, frowning slightly. It took him a few moments to speak.

'Jubilee, that is not a wise decision, you and Logan are partners and you need to make sure you can work with him well.'

'HANK!' Jubilees sudden outburst surprised him. She continued, emotion pouring into her voice. 'I can't do it any more, I can't be near him. It's tearing me apart, I've been trying to handle it, wanting to be with him so much, being close to him, yet knowing he will never want me.' She started to cry. Hank stopped putting in the stitches. He sat on the edge of the bed, pulling her close for a hug.

'Shush, Jubilee, shush.'

'Hank, I, I, love him.'

'I know Jubes, We all know. We thought you'd grow out of it but now we all know it's true love.'

'He doesn't love me.'

'Yes, Jubilee he does.'

'Not in the same way.'

Hank moved in front of her he took hold of her hands.

'Jubilee, he loves you in the same way, we all see it, you both love each other. He's just stubborn. He refuses to listen to his own heart.'

They sat quietly.

'I've had enough of waiting for him; I'm not going to do it anymore. I'm leaving.'

Hank looked concerned. He sighed.

'Keep in touch Jubilee.' His voice downcast.

'Your not going to try and stop me?'

'I don't want you to leave Jubilee, but I agree with you that it is probably the best way to forget about him.' She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

'Thank you Hank, you're a good friend.'

'When are you leaving?'

'Early tomorrow morning, when nobodies up.'

'Your not telling people your leaving?'

'No.'

'Good luck Jubilee.'

That night she lay in bed wondering what the rest of her life would hold for her, and if she'd ever return.

'I know what few other people know. There are many different realities, many other Jubilation Lees and many other Logans. I'm not unique at the same time in the same place there is another Jubilation Lee laying on her bed thinking. You'd think that would scare me, wouldn't you? It doesn't because somewhere out there, there's a Jubilation Lee and a Logan who are together. I know it cannot happen in this reality but somewhere out there, I'm lying in his arms happy.' She wrote in her diary before curling up to spend her last night at the mansion.
