Faith
Faith yawned as she sat up, noting that Logan still hadn't returned.
She rotated her shoulder again, feeling it crack slightly, and she grabbed some clothes and had a shower, then went to the kitchen to have breakfast.
Jubilee & Logan
"You are the most suspicious, distrustful, jackasstastic bastard I have ever met!" Jubilee yelled at Logan, who stood there solidly, frowning.
"You slept in my fricking room, to make sure my bf of a DAY didn't creep in there at night! You make me insane!"
Logan growled slightly and turned to go. Jubilee stomped after him.
"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you! Wolvie!"
Faith
Faith heard the yelling start and she smiled to herself.
It was starting earlier.
Logan, Jubilee & Kurt
Logan ignored Jubilee's yelling and went to get himself some coffee. Jubilee made a strangled sound of rage and went back to her room to get dressed, feet stomping loudly as she went.
"I hate you, old man!"
"Women," Logan groaned, going for the coffee as he entered the kitchen.
Kurt froze near the fridge, jug of milk held by his tail.
"Vas?"
Logan glanced at him.
"Eat your breakfast, Misfit."
Faith
Faith noticed Logan come in, and rubbed her neck, pulling her hair down a bit to hide the vampire bites.
Kurt & Logan
Kurt backed away quietly, putting the jug down on a bench and then pouring cereal into a bowl.
Logan gulped down a cup of hot black coffee, before turning to Faith.
"Morning."
Faith
"Morning."
Faith looked up at him and smiled slightly.
Kurt & Logan
Kurt opened a drawer with his tail as he poured milk over his cereal and grabbed a spoon with the same appendage. He took his breakfast and left quietly.
Logan's nostrils flared slightly, and he put down his cup slowly, then moved across the room to Faith. He lifted her chin in one hand and pulled down the neck of her top slightly with the other, exposing the vampire bites.
"Damn, darlin'. Explain."
Faith
Faith looked at him.
"Patrolling, you know, some vamps are stronger than others and... fine..."
She shrugged.
"Makes it easier than hurting myself, you know."
Logan
"Idiot."
Logan kissed her gently.
"IS he really worth it?"
Faith
"Sometimes."
Faith kissed him back.
"Sometimes you just... I don't know... want to be loved, want to feel like you have a family, and when that gets offered to you... I'm rambling, nevermind."
Logan & Jubilee
"Wish you wouldn't. Still your call though."
Logan sighed.
Jubilee knocked on Bobby's door, dressed in long cargos and a tight black minitop. She had her usual yellow coat on.
"Bobby, open up. And don't be naked! If Octavian or Julie are in there, make sure they're not naked either! Once is far too many times already!"
Faith and Bobby
Faith let Logan sit down, then perched on his lap.
"I know... look... bout last night..."
Bobby yawned, opening the door, rubbing his eyes, dressed in jeans and a singlet he'd pulled over his head.
"What's up, Jubes?"
Logan & Jubilee
Logan lifted an eyebrow.
"He's still alive, if that's what you're thinking."
Jubilee pushed past him, and checking there was no one on the bed or any suspicious stains, flopped down on it.
"I hate my life. I finally, finally dear god, find someone to fool around with a little and Wolvie goes berserkers on me. And Brand's nice, you know? It's not like he's going to push or anything...and he's a really, really good kisser. Is that something he got off Faith? Ew. Skip that. Anyway. Get this. Wolvie slept on my bedroom floor last night. I found out when I stepped on him this morning. Can you say over react much? I know you can."
Faith and Bobby
Faith sighed.
"I get that you're worried, but he really is a good kid."
Bobby nodded and sat next to Jubilee.
"You could talk to him."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan made a disagreeing noise.
"Sure, darlin'."
He poured himself another cup of coffee.
"I tried this morning. Didn't you hear me try? I could yell louder, next time."
Jubilee poked Bobby in the side.
"I'm not stupid, dammit. And I'm not like you either. If when Brand and me decide to go to home base, there won't be any problems or nasty little surprises in a nine months."
Faith and Bobby
Faith sighed.
Bobby shrugged.
"I haven't gotten anyone pregnant. Maybe Julie. But maybe not."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan sipped from his coffee slowly, looking at her over the rim of his cup.
"It's a dad thing. I think."
Jubilee made a grrr noise.
"And to top it off, Brand's been acting all paranoid about kissing in public..."
She raised herself up on her elbow and looked at Bobby.
"Did you threaten him? Oooh, I bet Wolvie did. He is gonna get it off me. Paf! I'll singe his damn eyebrows off! And if you did it, I know where you sleep and where your underwear drawer is. You'll be scratching yourself bloody!"
Faith and Bobby
Faith nodded.
"Wish I knew how that felt. Well, not to be a dad but... nevermind."
Bobby nodded sheepishly.
"I just told him not to hurt you, that's all. I get the feeling everyone did."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan put his mug down and pulled her into an embrace, nuzzling her neck.
"DOn't worry, you'll get the mom feeling when Airlia grows up."
He grinned.
"Now, I almost feel sorry for the first boy she brings home."
Jubilee punched him hard on the arm.
"You jerk! Leave him alone, or I'll hurt you! I can fight my own damn battles!"
Faith and Bobby
Faith stuck her tongue out at Logan.
"I'll be very well behaved."
Bobby rubbed his arm.
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, did you come here for a reason? I wanna start packing."
Logan & Jubilee
"No you won't. Just make sure you give her a lot of crosses," Logan said.
"At least I know Brand isn't a vampire."
"Just to bitch and annoy you."
Jubilee made a sad face at him.
"Do you really have to move out?"
Faith and Bobby
Faith got up to get a cup of coffee.
"Well, it's alright. If I move out, then Brand can't sneak into Jubilee's room."
Bobby smiled.
"Yeah... I wasn't going to, but then it'd be easier. But I'll be back like every weekend to visit Hanky."
Logan & Jubilee
"Ah, but then you can't sneak into my room, little girl," Logan grinned.
"You won't miss me?"
Jubilee made her lip quiver, staring at him with large tragic eyes.
Faith and Bobby
"I could leave Brand there, under custody of someone... then I could."
Faith kissed him gently.
Bobby nodded.
"I will miss you, of course, Jubesy! You know Tav's going to Harvard or something? Always the last to find out."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan kissed her back.
"Ah, a plan."
"Wow, Harvard?"
Jubilee looked impressed, then saddened again.
"Everyone's going away. Damn it, it's not fair. I hate being 15."
Faith and Bobby
Faith's eyes flicked to the clock.
"Feel like a spot of training with me? Angel has this new theory that I should be training every day with you, or something."
Bobby nodded.
"Yeah, is. But we'll all be back to visit. I'll probably run back here begging to move back in after a week."
Logan & Jubilee
"Alright," Logan said.
He drained the last of his coffee.
"Let's go then."
"But I'll miss you!"
Jubilee hugged him, eyes prickling with tears.
"I don't want you to move out. It'll be no fun. Who else can I plot to turn Jean's hair purple with?"
Faith and Bobby
Faith nodded and headed to the Danger Room, stretching her arms.
Bobby hugged her back and kissed her cheek.
"Hey, why don't we, as a last hurrah, actually turn Jean's hair purple?"
Logan & Jubilee
Logan tapped a training sim into the controls, before they went down to the Danger Room proper.
The simulation opened, transforming the room into a warren of alleyways and buildings.
"Think you can find me, darlin'?"
Logan turned and ran off.
Jubilee sniffled slightly, then smiled.
"Alright. I can get into her bathroom alright...but what do we put in her shampoo?"
Faith and Bobby
Faith followed after him, feet making no sound on the ground.
She rounded a corner and ducked.
Bobby grinned.
"I hoped you'd ask..."
He reached under his bed and pulled out a mix of purple hair fudge, and food colouring.
Logan & Jubilee
Logan entered one of the buildings, closing the door silently behind him. He walked up the stairs quickly and then climbed out through a window to the building next door.
"Whoo!" Jubilee cheered.
Faith and Bobby
Faith closed her eyes for a moment and remembered the scant amount of training she'd actually picked up from her watcher.
Then scrapped it, and tracked Logan her own way, tapping into the Valkyrie DNA changes inside her.
Bobby laughed.
"But we might wanna talk to Jono or Bek about shielding us in case Jean gets snoopy."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan settled in to wait for her, after he smeared blood across the corner of a building, dabbing down some hairs for good measure. He could see where she entered or left, stilling his breathing right down, he waited for her to come.
"Yes indeedy," Jubilee agreed.
"Do you think the prof will scan us?"
Faith and Bobby
Faith sniffed slightly, then went around the corner.
She walked down the hallway slowly, and touched the building, and ducked quickly, and kicked around around the corner, hitting Logan.
Bobby snorted.
"Us? But we're so innocent!"
Logan & Jubilee
Logan whirled, catching her foot and pulling her off balance. He punched her in the face, then leapt onto a girder that spanned the alleyway.
"Nice trick, darlin'."
"I'm virginial, you're a bad boy," Jubilee pointed out.
"Sides, he knows I don't like teeps nosing round in my head. Picked that up off Wolvie."
Faith and Bobby
Faith flipped to her feet and licked at the blood from her nose, then sprinted after him, running up across the wall and flipping in front of him.
She punched him hard, then ducked, jumped and roundhouse kicked, feeling her foot connect with his cheek.
Bobby nodded.
"Indeed. I don't think he'll suspect it's us anyway."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan grunted slightly, then slid in under her kick to throw her off the girder. He watched her hit the ground, and winced slightly before climbing higher, driving his claws into the wall to make holds.
Jubilee giggled.
"Ah, but we rock. And Jean's frigid."
Faith and Bobby
Faith flipped up, and with no more than a shrug, she scaled the wall, with almost unbelievable speed.
"Whoa... didn't know I could..."
She waited for Logan, then kicked him off the top of the building as he was getting balanced.
Bobby chuckled.
"Yeah... hey, you wanna go see Bek and his royal majesty Starsmore and get the shields?"
Logan & Jubilee
"Damn!"
Logan swung out with his claws, fixing them into the side of he building and arresting his fall. He sliced it open and swung inside.
"Alrighty, Booooobby!"
Jubilee jumped to her feet.
"I can't wait to see Jean's face..."
Faith, Bobby and Rebekah
Faith kicked open the roof access door and jumped down a few slights of stairs, feeling a slight rustle of air, and knowing it was Logan.
Bobby got up and grabbed another shirt, then led Jubilee out and up to Jono's room.
Rebekah yawned, opening her eyes and smiling faintly at Jono.
Logan, Jubilee & Jonothon
Logan struck silently, one hand pinching a vital nerve at the juncture of neck and shoulder and unleashing his claws to dig in slightly against her stomach.
"You're dead, darlin'. Want to run the sim again?"
"Because, because we can! We do it cause we can! And we, we rock!"
Jubilee bounced after Bobby, grinning.
Jonothon smiled back gently.
"How are yer?"
Faith, Bobby and Rebekah
"I might wait until the internal bleeding stops."
Faith grinned, then pushed Logan to the ground, straddling his waist.
Bobby chuckled.
Rebekah sat up, rubbing her eyes sleepily, and pulling a jacket on over her pj's.
"Good, little sore, but good. How was your night?"
Bobby knocked on the door.
Logan, Jubilee & Jonothon
Logan raised an eyebrow at her.
"Getting all hot and sweaty?"
Jubilee knocked after Bobby, then ran a hand through her hair.
"Please don't be screwing, that's not something I want to hear."
"Fine. I think I broke someone's mind."
Jonothon glared at the door.
"Sod off."
Faith, Bobby and Rebekah
Faith laughed.
"Aren't I always?"
Bobby chuckled.
"No!"
Rebekah rolled her eyes.
"Why is it he can always ruin a moment?"
Logan, Jubilee & Jonothon
"Point."
Logan trailed his fingers down her sides.
Jubilee grinned.
"Beeeekkkkkkkk...we need you for something. And Jono. You want to help us, you do."
"No we don't."
Faith, Bobby and Rebekah
Faith bent her head and kissed him hard.
Bobby just opened the door anyway.
"Come on, you'll be interested in this..."
"I doubt it," Rebekah replied.
She brushed her hair from her eyes.
Logan, Jonothon & Jubilee
Logan rolled them so she was under him, fingers working at her pants.
"Get out!" Jonothon exclaimed in annoyance, getting up from the bed.
"Tasty," Jubilee remarked.
"We want you to put up a block so Jean miss super snoop can't read us."
Faith, Bobby and Rebekah
Faith licked at Logan's neck, nipping slightly.
Bobby chuckled.
"Yeah, we're going... for a last hurrah before I leave."
"If we shield you, you'll go away, right Bobby?" Rebekah asked.
Logan, Jubilee & Jonothon
Logan and Faith had hot sweaty sex on the Danger Room floor.
Jubilee nodded.
"Course!"
Jonothon sighed and then gestured for Bobby to step a little closer.
"I'm not letting Bek in your head..."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby laughed.
"Worried she might like it?"
He stepped over to Jono.
Rebekah gestured to Jubilee.
Jonothon & Jubilee
"Nah, she'd have to go in for brain washing to get yer filth out," Jonothon retorted.
"Me, I'm used to people like you."
Jonothon put his hands on either side of Bobby's head and concentrated.
Jubilee stepped closer so Bek could put the block in.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby grinned, wiggling his eyebrows.
Rebekah put her hands on either side of Jubilee's head and closed her eyes, slowly building up a shield that Jean couldn't break through.
Jonothon & Jubilee
"Jesus, you're dirty minded."
Jonothon finished and wiped his hands like he was cleaning them.
"Get lost."
Jubilee smiled at Bek.
"Ta."
Bobby and Rebekah
"Come on, Bek would love to see that... she'd get hot and bothered. Anyway, thanks."
Bobby grabbed Jubilee's hand.
"Come on, Jubesy."
Rebekah nodded at Jubilee, then stretched.
Jubilee & Jonothon
Jubilee scampered after Bobby as they left, laughing evilly.
"Can't wait to see her face. Memo, must get photo for posterity."
Jonothon cracked his knuckles slowly.
"Bobby is disgusting."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby joined in the laughter.
"Wanna do it now? Then if you feel like going into the city, I'm picking Hank's cake up today."
Rebekah leant over and kissed him softly.
Jubilee & Jonothon
"Cake! Cake for Hanky!" Jubilee exclaimed.
"Yes, gimme the stuff. She'd be looking after Joyce at the moment and Cyke's out in the garage."
Jonothon kissed her back gently.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled.
"And I got him a present. Come on, let's go turn Jean's hair colour!"
Rebekah kissed his nose.
"You know... I feel a little sorry for Xavier, especially after last night's effort."
Jubilee & Jonothon
Jubilee nodded, grinning. She snuck into Jean's bathroom and mixed the hairdye and food dye into her shampoo, before sneaking back out. She gave the empty containers to Bobby.
"Mission accomplished. Let's be elsewhere when she first discovers it. Alibis be good."
Jonothon grinned slightly.
"I think he's used to it by now."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby grinned and froze the bottles, then tossed them out the window, causing them to shatter as they hit the ground.
"Wanna come into the city?"
Rebekah giggled.
"Oui, but don't you feel a little sorry that he has to hear it?"
Jubilee & Jonothon
"Yeah-eh!"
Jubilee nodded.
"Chaos!"
"Eh, a little."
Jonothon ran his fingers through her hair.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled and then scratched his head.
"I might have a shower first though."
Rebekah kissed Jono again.
"Dr McCoy's taking my cast off today, I think."
Jubilee & Jonothon
"Good idea, cos you smell."
Jubilee bounced off.
"I'm going to go grope my boyfriend."
"Great."
Jonothon smiled.
Bobby and Rebekah
"That sounds like fun."
Bobby bounded off to the bathroom.
Rebekah stretched again.
"Feel like coming down with me to get that done now?"
Jonothon
"Alright."
Jonothon got up off the bed and started to dress.
Rebekah
Rebekah got up and put some clothes on, then waited for Jono.
"Hey... if... could you help me play guitar again?"
Jonothon
"Course."
They walked down to the medlabs together slowly.
"Did yer think I wouldn't help?"
Rebekah
"Well, if I were you, I'd run for the hills."
Rebekah reached up and kissed Jono again.
"Merci."
Jonothon & Hank
"I don't think you would."
Jonothon opened the door to the medlabs.
"Dr McCoy?"
"Coming!" Hank said.
He emerged from his lab, wiping his hands clean with a towel.
"Ah yes, Bek. You would like me to remove your casts, I presume?"
Rebekah and Bobby
"If it's not too much trouble," Rebekah said.
Bobby finished his shower and went off to find Jubilee, flipping his keys around his fingers.
Ok, Scott's keys.
Jubilee, Brand & Hank
Jubilee giggled softly as Brand's fingers drifted down her sides.
"Whups, I'm ticklish."
"What, really now?"
"Brand don't you dare! AHHHHH!"
Jubilee shrieked with laughter and squirmed as Brand tickled her.
"No! Get off! Stop! Ahhhhh!"
Hank smiled at her.
"Of course not."
He went to get the things he needed to remove the plaster.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah looked at her nails and made a face.
"I'll have to get those fixed. I have a slight claw thing going on here."
Bobby made a big show of singing loudly to get Jubilee's attention.
He wondered if Tav would wanna go into town with him as well...
Jonothon, Hank, Jubilee & Brand
Jonothon shrugged.
"If you want, luv."
Hank smiled and then started to tell BEk what physio she would need to do to get her hands back to normal.
Jubilee blew her hair out of her eyes and looked at Bobby. Brand sort of hid behind Jubilee.
"We going now?"
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded and cracked her fingers slightly.
"So, with the physio... how long until they're back to the way they were?"
Bobby nodded.
"Hey Brand. Yeah, let's go. There's a cake with Hank's name on it! Literally..."
Hank & Jubilee
"They may never be quite the way they were before," Hank said gently.
"But you should regain most use of them, as long as you do the exercises. It may take over five or so years..."
"Whoo! Cake!"
Jubilee jumped up and followed Bobby out.
"Bye Brand!"
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah swallowed heavily, realising this could mean the end of her guitar playing.
"Ok..."
Bobby flipped the keys again.
"Thought we'd take Scott's car, in the grand tradition of annoying the Summers's. Plus, he left this one outside."
Hank & Jubilee
"It would be wrong of me to build your hopes up," Hank said softly.
"But there is every chance that you will regain most use of your hands."
"Yeah, silly boy."
Jubilee scrambled into the passenger seat.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded.
"That's ok, really."
But the disappointment was etched on her face.
Bobby slid into the drivers seat and started the car, speeding off into the city.
Hank, Jonothon & Jubilee
"It would be cruel of me to offer false hope," Hank said.
"Can we go?" Jonothon asked.
"Yes, of course. Just remember to do the exercises every day."
Jubilee bounced in her seat and reached over to turn the radio on.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded.
"Merci doctor."
She turned to go.
Bobby grinned as a good song came on.
"Come on Jubesy! Sing it with me! Yes I'm grounded, got my wings clipped..."
Jonothon & Jubilee
Jonothon led her out quietly.
"It'll be alright, pet."
"I'm surrounded, by this pavement," Jubilee sang.
Rebekah and Bobby
"Oui."
Rebekah kept her eyes on the ground.
"Guess I'll circle, while I'm waiting..." Bobby went on.
Jonothon & Jubilee
Jonothon squeezed her shoulder gently in reassurance.
"Waiting for my fears to dry, someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar, someday I'll be, so much more..." Jubilee sang, fingers tapping against the dash.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah turned and touched his face with her finger tips.
"I'm ok."
Bobby zoomed into the city and parked on the side of the street.
"Ready? Hey, maybe I could do another underwear dance... on the other hand, the only panties in here are likely to be Jean's and that's just... bleugh."
Logan & Jubilee
Logan lifted an eyebrow.
"He's still alive, if that's what you're thinking."
Jubilee pushed past him, and checking there was no one on the bed or any suspicious stains, flopped down on it.
"I hate my life. I finally, finally dear god, find someone to fool around with a little and Wolvie goes berserkers on me. And Brand's nice, you know? It's not like he's going to push or anything...and he's a really, really good kisser. Is that something he got off Faith? Ew. Skip that. Anyway. Get this. Wolvie slept on my bedroom floor last night. I found out when I stepped on him this morning. Can you say over react much? I know you can."
Bobby and Faith
Bobby nodded and sat beside her, rubbing his eyes.
"Well, move out... ok, that's a little drastic. Why don't you just talk to him? I know it's easier said than done..."
Faith poked at her breakfast.
"Yeah... look... we're not going to see eye to eye on that, and I can get that you're worried about Brand doing something, but I know he won't."
