Mutants of the mansion
Chapter 17
This is my longest fanfiction so far. Shows how much I've lost interest in Adventure Time.
(Jubilee)
"Come on, Jubilee. I just want to see how you managed to get downstairs. I have never seen anybody do it."
"Well, what if I don't want to come downstairs?" Why did Hank drag me upstairs anyway? Can't somebody else do this?
"Come on, kid. You got down here before." Hank, Wolvie and Jean were stood at the bottom of the stairs, after they dragged me up here to see me how I got down the stairs in my wheelchair yesterday. "Why can't you just show us how?"
"You guys are just fighting a losing battle." Jean smiled, leaning against the doorframe. "If Jubilee doesn't want to come downstairs, you're not going to get her down here." At least somebody knows me.
"That sounds like a challenge."
"It isn't a challenge, Wolvie." With a sigh, I turned around and wheeled away, much to Beast and Wolverine's dislike.
"Come back here, Kid!" Wolvie called as he started to climb the stairs after me.
"Nope!" And so the chase begins. With a grin, I started off at a good speed. I'm pretty glad nobody else was around. I'd get into a lot of trouble if I crashed into somebody.
"Jubilee, this ain't very safe!"
"You started it!" Damn. A corner. I shouldn't be worried! I'm smart! Right turn, stop the left wheel! Duh! Clamping my hand onto it, I realised that my plan wasn't all that smart. I ended up skidding across the floor and hitting the wall with my right shoulder. And just my luck, it was Storm's room. And she was trying to sleep. "That didn't go as planned." I groaned, with a hand on my shoulder as Wolvie ran over.
"Did ya seriously think you could turn a corner like that?"
"It was worth a shot." Doesn't feel dislocated. He rolled his eyes and pulled me away from the wall.
"Made quite a good dent in th' wall, kid."
"Can I ask what is going on?" Storm was stood in her bedroom doorway now, dressed in a robe that looks suspiciously like what Frosty used to wear. And she looked very tired. And irritated. "Why, when I am trying to sleep, are you two running around the halls, yelling about who knows what?" Running? Ouch.
"It was just a game, Ororo." I watched as the adults argued, and rolled my shoulder around to make sure it really wasn't dislocated.
"A very loud game."
"Jubilee is still a kid. You can't get mad at kids for being loud."
"I can get mad at you for being loud." Walked straight into that one, Wolvie. "Logan, go back downstairs." He was about to protest, until Storm gave him a really harsh glare.
"Fine. Crazy woman." He grumbled, shoving his hands in his pockets and stalking off. Oh no. Don't leave me with a cranky Storm.
"Hold on a moment, Jubilation." Crap. Just as I turned to get the hell out of there!
"What's up, Storm?" I smiled as I turned around again to face her. Please don't trap me in a block of ice. She looked both ways down the corridor, then waved me over as she walked into her room. Rolling my eyes, I rolled my chair into her room, then attempted to face her. "Damnit- I thought I had control over this. Crutches would be better." I grumbled as Storm closed the door. "Trying not to kick anything."
"Just sit still, child." She sighed with a smile. I was turned to face her when she sat down on her bed. "I just want you to know something." This time, I was turned sideways so my hands could be held. "I am truly sorry for the way I acted before. I should have not reacted so strongly when I learned that you were dating Rogue."
"It's fine. You didn't hurt me. Only the kitchen." I grinned. "Besides, I knew somebody was going to have a major freak. Granted, Wolverine and Gambit teased us to no end when they first found out. And Lau-" I was cut short by a hug. A really tight hug.
"I'm just relieved that you harbour no ill will against me. The last thing I would want is for you to not speak to me." After letting go, Storm gave a wide yawn, and then passed it to me.
"Tired?"
"Somebody had to keep an eye on you this morning." I paused for a moment to think.
"So you made it snow?" She nodded. "That is so cool! Did you like what I built?"
"Even if our snow doubles were a little short." Pouting, I pointed at the chair I was sat in. "I know."
"Is that part of being 16? I still need a parent to watch over me?" Storm paused. "Hey." I shook her arm. "You all right?"
"You think of me as a parent?" I shrugged and nodded, which resulted in another hug. Wolvie doesn't get wound up over it. Why is Storm being so huggy?
"You can let go now." Nothing. "Storm?" Oh great. She's asleep. After trying to push her off, I ended up face-down on her bed, with her arms still around my neck. Does being tired really make you strong? All right Jubilee, let's try and get out of this.
(Rogue)
"Y'know it's goin' over, Gambit."
"Not on my watch, Cheré." And it fell.
"For somebody who uses cards so much, you suck at building card houses." Kitty grinned, starting another level. Why am I even sat in here? Wolverine was sat next to me, sipping liquor and offering random words of encouragement.
"Throw me a pack. Ah wanna try." I smiled when the Cajun slid a pack of cards over to me.
"I'm never gonna understand how you can get four levels, Kit." Wolverine grinned, taking his arms off the table.
"I guess I'm just cool like that. Why don't you try it, Logan?" He answered with a wave of his hand.
"I ain't got a steady hand. Mine'd fall over in no time." I still have no idea why we're sat here, building card houses, but it's amusing. Second level...and down it goes. And now Kitty has 5 levels. My phone buzzed in my pocket, surprising me into knocking over the two cards I had.
Help. Storm has me in a chokehold and she's asleep.
Please get me out of here.
-J
Oh, what in the hell...
"Ah gotta go grab somethin'" I sighed, putting my phone back in my pocket and getting up to leave.
"That sounds ominous." I shrugged at Logan and continued walking. Now what is going on? After trudging upstairs and stopping outside Storm's room, I heard something clash with metal.
"How in the hell does somebody's strength increase when they sleep?!" Well, I should expect anything. With a sigh, I opened the door and found Storm sleeping with a smile on her face, and my girlfriend weekly trying to sit up, since she was laying next to her with two arms around her neck. "Rogue! Oh thank god! Please help me!" Jubilee whined, trying to reach out to me. "I thought I'd be here for hours!"
"Okay, okay. Ah'd calm down before ya wake Storm up."
"NOTHING wakes Storm up." She pouted, reaching out to me again. With a smile, I gently pulled Storm's arms apart and lifted the grateful teenager up. "I thought I'd die there. I had no idea if she would ever wake up."
"Ah think that's a bit of an overreaction." I couldn't help my grin as I brought Jubilee and her wheelchair out of the room, then sat her down.
"It's going to be so much easier when my leg gets better." I didn't have the heard to remind her that it was an 'if my leg gets better'. I just shrugged and followed her. "Wanna see how I get downstairs?" She grinned, balancing at an angle, then basically bouncing down each step.
"What the-" Wolverine wandered out out of the kitchen, looked at both of us in turn, then put his hand in his face. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't think getting downstairs was that big of a deal." He threw his hands up, and wandered back into the kitchen.
"I knew you would not have noticed, Jubilation." Beast looked like a kid at Christmas. Swinging across the ceiling, then grabbing a camera that was taped to the wall. "And now I have the answer."
"Well, damn."
Since nobody added me on Steam for Xbox live, I'll assume none of you hold such accounts. Also, next chapter, there's going to be a plot point! You'll want to read it if you've been following me for this long X3 Also, Thanks for following me for this long.
