Hawaii and Cerebro

Chapter 39

After a two day flight of nothing but free drinks and many bags of roasted peanuts, Jubilee and Creed finally made it to Hawaii. They were greeted by the native Islanders the way they normally greet visitors that come to their Island. Jubilee wasn't exactly in the mood for Hawaiian hospitality at the moment; do to the fact that she had to endure morning sickness and motion sickness at the same time on their ride down there.

"How much further do we have to go?" she whined.

"Quite a ways, Snow." He said, using the new nickname that he came up with for her while on their long flight. Her fur reminded him of a snowy white tiger, so he called her Snow for short or if he wanted to get on her nerves he'd call her Snow Flake.

"How far is quite a ways?"

"After we get our stuff and leave this damn airport, we have to head out to the ferry which is on the other side of town, and have a boat take us to one of the uninhabited Islands."

"Oh, you're kidding me! We have to go all the way out there?"

"Sorry, Snow, but that's the only safe place that we've got to keep out of Weapon X's reach and out of Logan's too."

She groaned miserably, as they made their way to the luggage, and picked it up, "So, we're not going to be around any kind of human society at all?"

"Nope."

"Not even a hospital."

"Sorry, Snow."

Without warning Jubilee's hand grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and she yanked him down to her level. She glared into his eyes and snarled through gritted teeth, "Listen here, Victor Creed! There had better be some form of medical facility on that Island, cause I'm not having the baby with only you as my only maternal coach! Got it?"

"Damn, woman!" he pulled away and straightened his shirt, "Those mood swings of yers could kill a man."

"They can. You care to find out?"

"Hell no! I know what yer powers can do."

"Good, boy." She smirked, as he snarled at her, "Now how's about arranging for me to have my own personal doctor for when the baby comes?"

"If ya'd let me finish earlier, I was gonna tell ya that I arranged fer ya to have yer own personal doctor on that Island for when the time is needed. Ya happy now?"

"I guess." She folded her arms in front of her chest and pouted.

Creed knew that pout, "What is it now?"

"Your child is hungry, as is it's mother."

"Again?"

"I'm eating for two now, Vic. It ain't like I have a say on when the matter."

"Fine." He growled. "Come on."

Jubilee laughed and rubbed her tummy, "You know what, baby? I think your Daddy is starting off on a good start. Maybe we can talk him into some good Chinese food or even Hawaiian delicacies."

With that they walked out of the airport, got into a taxi, and went to the nearest Hawaiian restaurant with an all you can eat buffet.

Meanwhile, back at the X-Mansion, Emma was using Cerebro to locate Jubilee, but unfortunately she wasn't having very much luck. Jubilee had developed stronger mental shields over the years that she is now able to keep Cerebro from finding her. Emma huffed in frustration and pushed the helmet away.

She pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance, "I trained that girl all to well."

"I thought you'd be proud of that." said Bobby, as he walked into the room.

Emma turned around to face him, "Normally I would, but when it's me trying to locate a former student, I don't become proud… I become annoyed."

"So… What are you going to do?"

"Well, it looks as though I'm going to have to contact some old friends and see if they can't help me look for her."

"What kind of friends?"

"Ones' who are better trackers than Logan and know how to get a job done right without loosing their temper."

"So, like the F.B.I.?"

"God, I swear you're too nosy for your own good. Look, I'll take care of this. You just worry about keeping your mouth shut and not letting the other telepaths in this house read your mind. Alright?"

"Damn, you're bossy. You can at least say please." Emma took a threatening step towards him, quickly he backed away, and headed for the exit, "Alright, I'm going! I'm going! Geeze. Some people just can't take a joke."

Emma sighed and stared off into the distance, mumbling under her breath, "Where are you, Jubilation?"
