Mutants of the mansion
Chapter 7
The reason Jubilee swore after Rogue left shall be revealed~
(Third)
Wolverine was hungry. A training match with Nightcrawler that lasts the entire morning will make you work up an appetite. But, he knew that his snack would have to wait when he stepped on something on his way to the fridge. Something that made a slight 'oof' sound.
"What the- Jubilee, why are you laying on the floor?" The older mutant questioned as he looked down at his surrogate daughter.
"I'm confused." Wolverine was more confused as to why she was laying face-down with her legs straight and her arms by her sides.
"But why on the kitchen floor?"
"I couldn't think straight in my room so I decided to try the thought wifi down here."
"And?"
"It still sucks." Wolverine sighed audibly, then sat down next to her with his legs crossed.
"Talk to me." He grunted, tapping his leg. Jubilee turned her head to look at him for a moment, then got up and sat on him. "What's on your mind, Jubie?" He grinned, putting his arm over her legs.
"I think I like somebody." His face slowly turned towards being angry, but stopped when he got a hold of himself. "And I am really not sure if they like me back or not." He had always hoped to not have this kind of chat with Jubilee. He placed a thumb and a middle finger on each of his temples and rubbed them in circles.
"Have ya even tried askin', Kid?" He expected the head shake. "How are ya gonna know if you don't ask?" This was a dilemma for her. Wolverine had always told her that being scared is stupid, but she genuinely was scared to admit that she liked somebody. "What's his name kid?" Jubilee shook her head again.
"It isn't a guy, Wolvie." Anybody could tell that he wasn't expecting that.
"Why are you two having a chat on the kitchen floor?" Cyclops walked into the room just as Wolverine was about to say something to her.
"No reason!" Jubilee smiled, jumping up and waving to both of them before running out of the room and pulling at the bandages that cased half of her face slightly.
"So, Logan." Scott gave him a smug look as he leaned against the counter. "Your daughter might be gay. How will you react to this one?"
(Jubilee)
I flattened myself against the wall outside the kitchen to listen to them talk.
"Why, what do you think Scotty?"
"I'm fine with it." He might be right about the gay thing. Not that it matters.
"Good. I can't just disown her for somethin' like that. It ain't right." I had to let out a sigh of relief at that. I slid down the wall and sat there with a hand over my heart. "'Sides, I thought you were gay."
"That was one guy and I wasn't hitting on him, he was hitting on me." I tried not to laugh. Covering my mouth was the only way to stay silent.
"What are ya on the floor for?" Rogue whispered suddenly, making me jump. It felt like my brain wasn't working.
"I, ah, d-don't know." I managed. "Are you getting smaller?" The look of astonishment on her face was epic. And I was flying. "Oh crud." Then my head hit the ceiling. "I think this is a good stopping point, powers."
"Ah don't think that power is on command, Jubes." Then Wolvie and Scott had to walk out of the kitchen and see me.
"Uhm, help?" I tried reaching down but, I was touching the ceiling. "Before you ask, I have no idea about why this is happening."
"Do we need the stepladder?" Cyclops joked as Wolvie started jumping to try and reach my hand. When he caught it, I didn't come down. He floated with me. "I guess we'd need a couple tons of bricks if you can't get her down."
"Are you sayin' I'm fat?" That attracted the attention of Storm and the Professor in the next room.
"Is it bad that I'm not surprised?" Storm sighed, catching my shades when they fell off my head. "How long has this been going on?"
"This is the second time it's happened." It's kinda boring up here. "Any idea on how to get me down?"
"I Have never been able to get past your mental shields, Jubilation. That means I can't figure out why this is going on. And stop scowling at me." I just looked away from them all.
"So the basic plan is to leave her up there and hope she comes down on her own?"
"Hey! No fair!" I yelled to the five of them. I was actually stuck up here. "Oh, come on! Storm, you still have my shades!" I sighed and hung my head when they all disappeared. I guess this is a good time to think. Alright, first things first. I think I'm in love with Rogue. It's one of those sappy things that whenever she's in the room, my brain goes all stupid and I can't do anything right. That's why I also think I'm gay. People do say that age doesn't matter, and I don't think the difference between 15 and 22 matters that much. I'm not even going to try and figure that out.
"Jubilee, you're on the floor." Huh. I am on the floor. Bobby's hand gripped the neck of my shirt and jacket and pulled me up. "You need to stop having your blank moments." I just shrugged and walked towards the front door. There's only one way to get better, and that is practice. Leaving my jacket and gloves at the stairs, I started to concentrate.
(Rogue)
"I still wonder what made this happen." Storm and I were sat on the balcony at the front of the house, watching Jubilee try to get a grip on her new found power. It was funny watching her float a few feet then fall on her butt when she moved.
"Ah'm thinkin' it's a surge of emotion. In the mall, she fell from some gym 'quipment and stopped just as she was 'bout to hit th' ground." Storm just shrugged and continued to watch.
"Would you look at that!" The nervous teenager was actually getting the hang of it! "That wasn't very long at all!"
"Beginners luck?" I think it was a bad idea to blink at that moment. Storm was wearing Jubilee's shades, and the ball of hyper energy flew straight for us and nabbed them.
"This one is for leaving me on the ceiling!" It was like that trick where you got them to look at their shirt, but stronger.
"Jubilee, I'm going to get you for that!" Storm called, jumping out of her chair and flying after her. I thought for a moment, then joined the chase.
The next chapter shall hold more flufehness XD
