June 18, Jubilee's office

Postby Narrator » Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:40 am

THe morning of the 18th, there was a knock on Jubilee's door, a tired-looking X-Corp employee standing outside, having just left his charges through the next door in the lobby.

The man handed her a stack of paperwork. "Mutant relocations, two of them that came into X-Corp's custody from child services last week. Just finished high school. Just a few problems with them."

"Define 'a few', please." Jubilee said, with a little sigh "On a scale of graffiti to Galactus."

"Just look at their files and you'll probably see half of it," he said. "The other half... well, you'll meet them in a minute. THat'll give you a better picture than I can."

"Ah, good, you've seen the problems." He handed her the last of the paperwork. "And now they're your problems."

With that, he turned and went to leave before he could get pulled any farther into this mess.

As the girls appeared, hand in hand, in the doorway, Anna kept her eyes amusedly on the retreating man, letting her sister look at Jubilee. "My my. Quite unprofessional wasn't that? Almost..."

The girls both smiled at Jubilee, speaking seemlessly over each other as they finished each other's sentences. They were dressed alike, walking in step, they even seemed to blink at exactly the same times, barring something blowing at one of their faces.

"Hi!" she said, smiling brightly "I'm Jubilee. I hope that we'll get along great, and that you won't cause any problems. Because I just had the carpets cleaned, and blood is a bitch to get out."

They even breathed in time with each other. Both of them watching Jubilee like she was some colorful little amusement visiting their world.

Anna giggled as she started talking. "Using threats to try to put us in line, Marie. Obviously not usually in charge of this. And possibly..."

"Ok, I see you've got your dorm assignments." Jubilee said "You'll be staying over the summer, like a lot of the students. I can see about setting you up with a job, if you want, since you won't be joining the teams."

Anna just gave Jubilee a smile that said 'we'll see about that.'

Famous last words?
