psy speech
In the kitchen Angelo had launched a food fight with Dorian. While Shan gave a fleeting attempt to stop it, even she and Clarice saw the fun in it, but the ordeal sent Monet fleeing from the room.
There was only a few pieces of cereal flying through the air when Jubilee burst in. "Ladies and Gents, children of all mutations may I- - aw man! What happened in here?" she blurted out.
Angelo popped his head up from behind the table, whipped cream plastered across his face. "What's up Chica?" then before Jubilee could speak "Oo, fresh meat!"
"Ange?" Jubilee screeched sending a few pafs across the room. "This is Miss Frost's sister, Cordelia, please be civil."
"I guess shock is the proffered reaction around here..." Cordelia stated flatly as she walked across the war zone to grab a perfectly good sundae.
"Uh, kinda..." Everett cleared his throat. Cordelia locked her eyes on him as she began to eat her ice cream. Watching the way she seductively licked the spoon clean made Everett a little hot under the collar. "Heh, I should go... gotta check on Monet, before afternoon classes start..." he said backing toward the door before breaking into a full on run for it. The rest of the students looked around the room trying to read each other's reactions toward their newest classmate. Jubilee was too busy cleaning the cream off of Angelo's face to notice, but that didn't stop him from noticing why his friend had left. Shan looked rather torn between disgusted and intrigued, while Clarice was looking as if she wanted to run from the room too. Mondo hadn't even noticed, and Dorian just didn't get it.
"Dorian is not the only new student? How exciting! We should be friends." Dorian said grinning at her.
"Sorry but little green men don't do too much for me, if you all don't mind I'll just be getting myself settled in the dorms."
She stated flatly placing her bowl on the counter and turning to leave.
"What about class?" Clarice finally asked.
"Who needs it?' she replied with a shrug.
As she left the room Jubilee mentioned the fact that Cordelia didn't even know where the dormitories were, or which room was hers. Then she turned her attention to Shan who was still looking toward the doorway where Cordelia just exited. She made a quick mental note before stating that it was almost one in the afternoon. Shan snapped to life and darted out the door.
"Hurry or we're going to be late for class with Mr. Pierce!" Shan shouted running down the hallway.
"Oh Pierce has all day, I wouldn't worry too much." Jubilee called after her futiley.
"Yeah, that hombre never does anything around here. He thinks giving some dumb lectures makes him important, the guy's not even human." Ange called after her as the rest of the students began filing out of the kitchen.
"He's just as human as we are." Clarice said sounding almost argumentative.
Angelo defended himself by saying "No way, the guy voluntarily gave up his appendages, it's like he walked out of some sci-fi flick."
"Well just don't say anything about it you'll get us all in trouble. Frost and Pierce are pretty buddy buddy."
"I'm not so sure about that." Jubilee said.
"What are you talking about? He's part of her court."
"That's true, but I heard he had something to do with the disappearance of the last class."
"'Last class'?" Angelo inquired.
"Yeah, there was a group of students here before us, I remember Emma talking about them once..."
That night Emma retired to her office a little earlier than usual. She didn't bother to turn on the lights because the large bay windows allowed for most of the room to be bathed in moonlight. She flopped down rather lazily into the chair behind her desk. She sighed and looked across the dark office as a shadowy figure emerged. "Wow Frost, your sister's a REAL winner..." Jubilation lee said as she stepped clearly into the light.
"Jubilation." Emma snapped as she got the her feet, "How dare you comment on Cordelia? You've known her for less than 24 hours. And HOW did you get in here?" she said, visibly annoyed.
"You know. I used my other talents to shield my thoughts, and my street skills to shield my body."
"Stop acting so high and might. It really doesn't become you." Sitting back down at her desk Emma continues, "Now, with regards to my sister... she may be a little rough around the edges but she's truly quite harmless." After a moments pause she continued. "To be perfectly honest Jubilation... we've never been very close, my sister and I, but she came to me asking for help and I respect that."
"That's really nice Frost, but I've been chosen by you AND the inner circle to lead this team on our missions. Some of which we risk everything, and I refuse to take a complete enigma on assignment." Jubilee's face showed that she was all business and wouldn't put up with Emma being overly snippy.
"Fine then. Your new assignment is in Kentucky. Choose a team, you and three others. Standard recruitment. Don't make me look bad. I'll deal with the rest of the students here."
"You're serious? I get full access to resources? And there's no one looking over my shoulder?" Jubilee asks, trying to sound serious but finding it hard to mask the growing smile on her face.
"Do I ever jest? You get access to anything necessary to the mission, and I for one won't be checking up on you unless you give me reason to. Unfortunately I can not speak for the rest of the Hell Fire Club. You know how Shaw's been recently..."
"Yeah... I guess that's a little bit of my fault though. Angelo and I refused to speak to him when we got back from our last mission. Everyone else just kind of followed suit until we got to see you. I'm sorry." Jubilee said honestly.
"It's all right Jubilee, but you should be getting to bed now, we have quite the training session planned for tomorrow morning." Jubilee just stood there smiling for a few moments.
"What's that smile for?" Emma asked inquisitively.
"You called me Jubilee." she responded before turning to exit the room.
