002 Video Day 78

[Jubilee looks fresh as a daisy. Her hair's up and washed. She's munching on something. Her feet kick up behind her.

For those that are really observant, though, there's the faintest trace of red in her eyes, and just the hint of strain around her mouth.

She at least swallows her mouthful before speaking.]

Logan is gone. I still have the pups, but he's... he's gone.

If any of the newcomers are lookin' for a place to stay, I've got a spare room. Bonus if you know how to cook.

Wait.

Magneto cooks?

[thelittlestbub]

The one at home does. He used to make stuff for Kitty all the time. The one here claims he can. I've yet to taste, though.

[She stretches, ignoring the grumble of the wolves when she makes herself more comfortable.]

[agentx13]

[ Sharon makes a face. ]

I'm not sure I'd trust this one to cook. We've had... difficulties. For some reason I don't trust him as much as he feels I should.

[ MAGNETO IS AN IDIOT. ]

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee stares, then starts giggling.]

Sorry... sorry, just some things never change. He's Magneto. He's not going to trust a SHIELD agent. You gotta know that, right? He barely trusts me and I at least rank on the mutant scale.

[agentx13]

I know he has trust issues. It's just- [ Sharon tries to think of how to say what she's thinking - i.e., that Magneto is a freaking asshole whose head she wouldn't mind smashing against a wall a couple times - and fails to think of a nice way to phrase it. She shrugs. ]

At least the Professor can help keep him in check.

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee sputters.]

Only if, they're like way different from ours. I mean, geez, have you seen some of the aftermath of their bitch fights at home? They may love each other, but they also know how to rip each other apart.

[agentx13]

[ Sharon lifts an eyebrow. ]

Oddly enough, you X-Men didn't exactly keep SHIELD apprised of everything you guys got up to at that mansion. And then when SWORD came along, there were some jurisdiction issues.

[ And since Abigail was dating Hank... ]

[thelittlestbub]

Dude, I'm talking about the stuff you guys know about. Or did you think Magneto just randomly decided "Huh, today I will take over the world"?

[agentx13]

What? He didn't do that because his boyfriend was pissing him off.

[ Holy shit. OR DID HE? ]

Nooooooooooooooooooo...

[thelittlestbub]

Okay, no it wasn't always that, sometimes it was "flatscans are stupid and I can do a better job" but yeah sometimes it was "my boyfriend is being stupid and I'm bored."

[DUH.]

[agentx13]

[ Sharon groans. ]

And then he pitches a bitch-fit because nobody understands him and people just want to hurt mutants. Jesus.

[thelittlestbub]

Well, to be fair, he's right about the flatscans wanting to hurt mutants. I mean... look at me. I've personally been injured because "god doesn't believe in evolution".

[Direct quote]

[agentx13]

Yeah, but those people are idiots. They don't represent all humans.

[ Sharon's one to talk. But they won't get into that right now. Or ever. ]

[thelittlestbub]

[Her hands curl into fists, protecting the scars on her palms. She's wearing fingerless gloves like always, hiding the marks she carries from being crucified.]

You'll get no argument from me.
