Mutants of the mansion
Chapter 12
I would like to thank all those that reviewed X3 *checks email* Gnurd, Animal56, EroSlackerMicha, Amy Hunt (Guest) and Icon Raider. With the ship name, I think Rolee was the best. Sorry to the other one X3 also, I have no idea on how people can write drabbles. It just infuriates me if I upload something with less than a thousand words!
(Jubilee)
I blinked a few times, trying to register the light assaulting my face.
"Nooooo...go away sun..." I whined, turning over and dragging the covers over my head. No use. I'm awake. Throwing the covers off me, I sat up and looked at my clock. 7am. "Need new curtains." Grumbling, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stretched. 149,600,000 km from the earth, and the sun still managed to head shot me. Wait, is that distance right? Whatever. Padding into my bathroom, I got undressed and started to take a shower. Then somebody knocked on the door.
"Jubilee? Are you awake?" Cyclops. Of course.
"I'm in the shower!" I yelled back, listening to any possible muttering.
"Can you come downstairs?"
"Can it wait until I'm not nude and covered in water?" I heard somebody laugh.
"Or you can come down as you are, Petit."
"Gambit."
"What? I can think of somebody who wouldn't mind, no?"
"Gambit!" I had to laugh at the pair of them. "Just come downstairs when you're ready, Jubilee." I was finished anyway. One of the good things about short hair is that it doesn't take long to dry. But gauze can be tricky to put on if your hands are wet. Dark blue jeans, black shirt and red sports jacket Bobby gave me a while back. No socks or shoes because why the hell. When I put my shades on, I stepped out into the hall.
"Good mornin', sugah!" A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and my cheek was kissed. "Ahm surprised you're up this early."
"It was the sun. It headshotted me." I grinned, turning around and hugging Rogue back. "Not like I had any choice I the matter, Cy wants me to come downstairs anyway."
"He told me ta do tha same thing. Said it was some kinda test." Shrugging, I turned around again and began walking down the hall with Rogue's arm around my shoulders and our hands joined together.
"Rogue? Does this mean we're like, dating now?" Most people are still in bed at this point. And everybody else is out of earshot.
"If that's whatcha wanna call it, why the heck not?" It was my turn to kiss her on the cheek. Then I tripped over a random pair of shoes in the middle of the hall. And my now apparent girlfriend let go of my hand. "You all right down there?"
"The floor tastes bad."I mumbled into it, kicking the pair of shoes I just tripped over.
"Then why dontcha get up?" Lifting my head, I saw Cyclops and Gambit looking down at me with amused expressions. My head went back to the floor.
"I decided that the floor is comfy." I had no choice in the matter as I was lifted by the back of my shirt and placed on my feet. "Then again, people could stand on me."
"Now then." Scott sighed, getting the attention. "Gambit tells me that you are able to have contact with Rogue without being hurt."
"Like this?" I questioned, placing a hand on her cheek. I think both guys were about to dive forward and stop me. "Nothing happens. It just tingles a lot." He nodded in understanding.
"And no, ah can't use her power. Ah tried and it didn't work." Rogue sighed, looking down at her hands. "Ah'd actually like ta shoot fireworks."
"It isn't as cool when you short out a hell of a lot of electrical systems." I grumbled, trying to count the amount of things I'd broken. I need some more fingers. "Okay, I've definitely broken more than ten things."
"You sure made the electrical guy at the mall happy, Petit. I'm sure nobody was interested in surge protected plugs before!" Gambit ruffled my hair, then walked off while pulling something out of his pocket.
"I'm going outside." Cyclops grabbed the back of my jacket as I passed.
"Not without shoes you're not." With a grumble, I headed back to my room and changed. If I'm heading outside, I'm wearing my usual outfit. And instead of the door, I used my window. Shoving my hands into my pockets, I began to walk around the grounds, enjoying what Storm's garden had grown into. The usual dark brown soil had grown green stems, followed by vibrant blues, pinks and yellows. For some reason, the reds were on the sides. Then I noticed 2 boys messing around.
"Hey!" As soon as they caught sight of me, they started to run. "This is a private location! Get out of here!"Then one of them stopped.
"Chink?"
"Oh not you guys!" I groaned, rubbing my face with my hands.
"Wait, you go to school here?" Now they're waking towards me.
"That's close enough!" They stopped about 10 feet in front of me. "I live here. And my name is Jubilee." They both looked surprised.
"I thought this was a school for special kids." They looked like twins. They even had the exact same clothes on.
"Remember the bandages bro? Exact reason of why she's here." Alright Jubilee. Don't let them get to you.
"You two had better clear out. Storm isn't very nice to people to people who ruin her garden." I sighed, pulling my gloves further onto my hands.
"Who's gonna make us?" The first boy snarled, leaning close to my face. "You? Don't be stupid, Chink." That was supported by a blow to the face. I don't care if the adults say you shouldn't hit back. These two are asking for it.
"You should be careful about who you say mean things to." I grinned, watching as the second boy came into the same proximity. I did a neat little back flip, kicking them both in the nuts then chin respectively. "Adiós!" I grinned, pushing them both over and making a dash for it.
"You're gonna fucking pay!" They both roared in unison. Fat chance. Making sure to take the safe path out of Storm's garden, I vaulted over the wall, grinning in content when both boys ran straight into it.
"You guys don't know gymnastics, do you?" I laughed after I jumped onto the wall and crouched there like I've seen Spider-man do. "I like saying that I was accepted as an Olympic gymnast."
"Why de hell did ya quit?" One of them mumbled through a pinched nose. So they seem to be taking an interest in my life.
"Because my parents were murdered just before the qualifying rounds." I smiled softly as I remembered the warm smiles that I barely ever got. They looked up a me with a mix of shock and sadness. "Oh come on. Weren't you guys gonna beat me up?"
"True. You're dead." The second snarled as they both got up. I got off the wall and made a dash for town.
(Rogue)
"Take a look over there, Rogue." Storm announced, waving her hand past her garden to where Jubilee was crouched on a wall, looking down at two boys that were around her age. "Are they not the two that were racist towards her?"
"Yup. And ain't it in the rules that a kid can't wander off on their own?" I couldn't help but smile at the teenager. Storm wasn't looking when she kicked them both. "Don't worry. Ah got her." I smiled when Storm was about to get up. "Jubie probably just needs time t' 'erself." I was judged for a second.
"Alright. But bring her back by dark. Okay?" I gave my friend a thumbs-up, then flew off in the direction Jubilee took. I'm not even sure on what I should call her. It's only been a few hours since we agreed that we were dating. Nobody knew yet. I don't even want to think of anybody's reactions when they found out. I returned to walking when I got to the edge of the town. I'm looking for my friend, not to be arrested. It took me about 10 minutes. And I only spotted her because she was wearing her yellow coat.
"What do you mean I can't watch the movie?!"
"I'm sorry miss, This movie is restricted to those 15 and up." That isn't going to go down well.
"I'm 16!"
"Do you have any ID?"
"I turned 16 two days ago! Of course I don't have any damn ID!" I better not let this go any further.
"Can ya let her in if ahm here?" I smiled, putting an arm on Jubilee's head an my other hand on the small counter. "Ahm a teacher at her school." The man seemed surprised, but handed us two tickets.
"Thanks Rogue." I got a kiss when we walked through the doors. "I managed to lose the two guys. I was going to watch a movie so they would leave me alone."
"Don't you worry about that. Ahm here for ya." I put my arm around her shoulders, and hers went around my waist. "What movie is this anyway? 'Killer Bite'?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
"It's about zombies. I wanted to see some violence." With a roll of my eyes, we walked into the correct theatre and picked some seats in the middle row. "Again, thanks for vouching for me."
"It's no trouble." I smiled, leaing my head against hers afer it rested on my shoulder. "Ahm just wonderin' how the heck we're gonna tell the team."
"Let's wait a while." Jubilee chuckled. "Maybe they'll get the hints."
I'm not sure if I should do a timeskip, or just keep going at this pace. You guys can vote if you want. And you can also say if you want a minor timeskip which will be from a few weeks to a month, or a major one that will go from 2 months-5 months. Your choice!
