Chapter 18

Minutes later she had chosen a nice pair of black jeans, boot cut, with black stiletto heeled boots, and a low cut sweater top. The jeans jacket she wore had wide lapels and zipped up. Pushing his dogtag necklace into her shirt, she accepted the helmet he passed her. Then she leapt behind him on his scoot and waited for him to gun the engine into life.

They shot out of the garage, and circled the drive before the X mansion. She laughed as she slid her arms around his waist and they shot out of the gate. Overhead they saw Storm gliding after Rogue. Both women were laughing as they chased one another in combat drills. Ororo waved, passing over them again before dipping out of sight.

"Where you heading, hoser?" Rogue yelled.

"Gambit wondering if you join him for pool, Cherie," Gambit called as he pulled up on his own motorcycle, a Plymouth Victory. Behind him, Jubilee was holding onto the sissy bar, her rollerblades whirling.

"When pigs fly, yuh troublemaker!" she taunted as she dropped down and flew alongside of him.

"Shut up and get on that bike, will you?" Jubilee yelled. "Enough with the angst!"

"Ahl right I will!" Rogue said as she dropped down and climbed on behind Gambit. Jubilee let go of the sissy bar and Gambit gunned the cycle away.

"Eat my dust Cajun," Logan yelled as Gambit and Rogue caught up with them.

"We'll see what dis bike be made of, mon ami!" Gambit laughed as he revved his engine.

"Am I gonna haveta make you boys behave?" Rogue asked.

"Dis I get for bein' a gentleman, neh?" Gambit laughed.

"Logan, save the gasoline, will you?" Michelle laughed.

"Once I wipe that smirk off Cajun's face," Logan grinned.

"You guys!" Jubilee yelled. "HEY!!!"

"Jubilee, you KNOW that's not safe!" called Storm as she swooped down and grabbed the teenager under her arms. Jubilee squealed as Storm flew away with her and circled back to the mansion to leave the two couples alone.

The Harley and the Victory roared off down the country road, amidst whoops and yells. Rogue laughed as she clung to Gambit, and Michelle as she held onto Logan. They were laughing and shouting verbal pot shots at one another rover the loud rumble of their engines. Then Logan veered off onto a country side road, and Mariko laughed as she heard Gambit's cursing in French.

"Sorry darlin, but I couldn't stand him flapping his yap," he mumbled.

"Rogue will keep him busy," she said. "So, where are we going?"

"To our little hideout�" Logan laughed.

"But we have school tomorrow�"

"Not till the afternoon�" Logan smirked. "Besides, you've been leading all damn week, why not take a break�"

"Every day with you is a vacation," she smiled as she hugged him.

They held hands like teenagers as Logan led her to the cabin, and slid open the door. She smiled as he swept her up and carried her inside and put her down. The small place was much as they had last left it, and she inhaled the familiar scents.

"I'll just start a fire�" Logan murmured as he stole a kiss.

"And I'll get some coffee going," she whispered as she moved off to the kitchen. Warmth filled her, as she saw him grab the firewood and crouch to arrange it. She got a nice shot of his jeans covered butt as he leaned over, and finished piling the kindling.

She could never get enough of him, she thought as she poured coffee into the instant machine. Once it was started, she grabbed the wok and started to fix some dinner as the rice steamer heated up. He would love a simple meal, she figured. The stir-fried beef and vegetables would suit both their palates, and she heard the crackling of the fire minutes later.

A record player hissed as Logan picked an Aerosmith greatest hits record. Other noises indicated he was lighting candles and incense, to set the right sort of mood. A no-nonsense, honest-to-goodness dinner, and some fun following. It was so easy to be around him.

Which was why she cursed when the cell phone at her hip vibrated, and she opened it. "Hello?"

"Cousin�"

"Shiro?" she whispered. "But� how� after all this time�"

"Cousin, I'm on my way to America. There's something that you must do, I need your help�"

"Are you all right� you said you'd escaped from Weapon X�"

"Indeed I have. I need you to come back with me. It's Uncle� something's happened to him�"

"Shiro, you know they won't accept me�" she trailed off.

"They are holding him prisoner. And your stepbrother is trying to hold things together, but he is only one person. He needs you�"

"He has you�"

"He asked for your help. Without you, he can't hope to get my father� your uncle back� and if he doesn't return, the clan could forfeit its right�"

"But surely they have the�"

"The sacred artifact is missing� and I need you� you've been training with the X men. If we stand together, we have a chance of getting my Father back� and helping save the clan�"

"Shiro I can't just leave�"

"You must. You are STILL a member of the family. I need you� the family needs you�"

"You made it clear that I couldn't ever be legitimately an heir with what Creed did to me," she said quickly.

"That may be, but half of your blood is Yashida. That fact does not change. And you are still my cousin. You are the only one I trust."

"Who has Uncle?"

"Lady Deathstrike and the one called Shaw�"

"Damn," she mumbled. "But that means Weapon X�"

"Not Weapon X. She and he are working alone. Along with the others� you must come as soon as you can�"

"I can't just�"

"Please cousin, I need you�" he urged. "Your brother needs you. He asked for you�"

"My brother has no great love for me�"

"But he knows duty and family are first. The three of us are the only hope� so many depend on us�"

"Damn, damn damn," she hissed. "I'll be on the next flight out� but I must tell Xavier�"

"Do so. But trust no one. There may be those that already know where you hide�"

"What if I bring help?"

"Only those you trust the most. And keep your mission secret� none must suspect� I must go. I'll wait for you at the compound�"

"All right," she nodded. "Hold on�"

"Got a fire going, and some of your favorite�" Logan started as he saw her stirring the dinner. "Smells damn good�"

"Good," she nodded as she filled two plates, and he carried them out for her. He smelled something different. A sense of fear and panic not present.

Smiling, he set down the plates and they sat next to one another. He started to eat, and noticed she hardly touched the food. Rather she was prodding at it with her chopsticks, a faraway look in her eyes. "Darlin, you okay?"

"It's nothing you should worry about�" she smiled quickly.

"Uh huh, yeah, right," he mumbled as he smelled otherwise.

"I'm going to have to cut the date short. I have to get back to the mansion�"

"So soon?" Logan asked. "You worried about Cyke� cause if you are�"

"Please Logan, I have to go back," she said firmly. "I know we promised to spend some time up here� but I need to go back as soon as we finish dinner� there's something I forgot to do�"

"What?" Logan asked. "Maybe I can help ya� if it's training exercises�"

"It's something I have to do myself� you shouldn't worry about it," she said as she picked up her plate and carried it out to the kitchen.

"Mind telling me what the hell's going on?" Logan asked as he got up and followed her.

"It's nothing you need to worry about� I'm fine� there's just something I have to do�"

"Wanna try again?" he asked, grabbing his plate and throwing it into the sink. "There's something wrong, and you KNOW I can smell it�"

"Logan, I have to go away for a while� if you want to help me, you can tell Scott and the Professor I've requested some time off�"

"Why haven't I heard about this�" Logan grunted as she began to wash the dishes. "You're not makin' any sense and I sure as hell wanna know WHAT's gotten into ya now�"

"Please don't ask me," she said as she felt her eyes stinging with tears.

"The hell I won't," he grumbled, grabbing her shoulder and spinning her around. "Are you gonna tell me what the hell's going on? Cause I don't like ya running around hiding stuff from me if I can help�"

"We both have things that we'd rather not share� surely you have your own parts�"

"Look, let me get this straight� what's so all fired flamin' important that you gotta suddenly drop EERYTHING and run away� are you in trouble� what just went down�"

"Logan please trust me. It's nothing you can do anything about� it's something I have to do alone�"

"What the hell does THAT mean?" Logan asked, agitated as she slipped out from his grasp and walked quickly over to the back bedroom. She was tossing some of her clothing into a suitcase.

"I need to go away. Something's come up� and I just need to leave�"

"From me?" he asked. "M'iko, what is this all about� did I say or do something�"

"No Logan� it's just� it's just personal business�"

"Oh yeah so damn personal you can't let me in on it? I thought I mean something to ya�" he said angrily. "What's this about� you owe me an explanation or SOMETHING!"

She sighed, as he caught her arm, and bit her lip. "It's� I got a phone call. I have to leave now. Someone's life is at stake and I'm the only one who can�"

"Who?" he asked.

"It's family business� I have to go back�"

"Go back where? Weapon X? That's bullshit�"

"Not weapon X� Logan�"

"Now that makes EVERYTHING goddamn clear�" he snorted. "What do you mean� are you actually gonna up and go to Japan of all places?"

She nodded. "Shiro called me. He needs me. I�"

"Why didn't ya tell me, dammit�" Logan sighed as he sank down on the bed. "Shit, you can trust me� what does he WANT?"

"I wish you didn't ask me� I�"

"Is he in trouble� is it�"

She buried her head in her hands. "I don't WANT to go� but I have no choice� I have to leave� leave the X men� and you� I�"

"M'iko, be STRAIGHT with me�" he growled as he grabbed her shoulders. "I'm not just letting ya slip away without�"

"You can't help me where I�m going, Logan. This isn't an X men matter. I've got obligations�"

"To yer family� is this what I THINK it is?" he asked, voice low and angry. "Is it that Yakuza bullshit? Cause if it is, I can't let ya go off without�"

"Don't you realize what they'll DO if I drag the X men into it? It isn't their fight� it's�" she trailed off. "I can't run away from this Logan� I can't� please, you have to take me back and tell Scott and Professor X that I needed to go away for a while�"

"M'iko, I'm not gonna do that�"

"Please if you love me�"

"Dammit, I'm NOT letting ya go alone! They could KILL you! Those bastards� you don't know what you're up against� they�" he tore at his hair.

"He needs me� and I have to go�" she said as she removed his hands. "You think I want to leave the X men? You? But I can't expect you to�"

"Tough shit, cause I'm going with ya�" he said angrily. "Cause I'll be DAMNED if yer gonna get carved up by those goddamn butchers without ME around t' protect ya!"

"But your duty to the X men�"

"What about MY duty to YOU?" he asked slowly. "All this honor an' duty bullshit� don't ya trust me enough t' let me help? If you really love me, you won't shut me the hell out� if anything every happened to ya I'd�"

She buried her head in his chest, hugging him tightly. "Dammit Logan I don't want to go�"

"You're not gonna face it alone� I'm with ya in this�"

"But I might not ever be able to COME back�" she whispered.

"All the more reason I should be with ya. You need me. Sides if anything happened Red would kill me anyway," Logan joked.

"You don't know what you're committing to," she said softly.

"I'm not stupid, M'iko. I know what this thing you gave me IS," he said.

"I thought you didn't read Japanese�"

"I've been learning here and there� I was just fooling when I said that. This here thing that you passed onto me ain't just some trinket. It's something that yer family members give t' the person they trust most. The person they pick t' be their bodyguard or consort�"

"Damn I wish you weren't so smart�"

"Like it or not I AM involved. And all that duty n' honor garbola� in your society they AIN'T gonna accept a woman's authority without some kinda man standing alongside her. Bunch of shit, but that's what yer up against�"

"I can't ask you to�"

"You ain't asking cause I'm volunteering," he said sharply. "Sides, how in hell ya gonna STOP me?"

"True," she whispered as he wiped away her tears.

"Well runt, ain't life just special," Victor Creed mumbled as he pressed his ear to the door.

He had been following them the past week. Finally he had tracked her down, the bitch that had tagged him. He licked his lips, tasting her scent in his palate, and longing for the taste of revenge he thirsted for. Now he had been preparing to take her out from under Logan's nose.

"You belong to ME, girly pie," he mumbled. "Even though the runt thinks yer his, you ain't. I smell his stink on ya, but that'll change�"

Creed slipped away into the bushes and arousal hissed as he moved back. From a distance he lifted binoculars and watched as Logan and Michelle exited the cabin, carrying bags that he strapped to the Harley. He watched as Logan climbed on, and they roared away.

Grinning, Creed got into his HUMVEE and turned the key. At a discreet distance he traveled knowing Logan's destination. So he'd decided to be dumb enough to chase her to Japan, he thought. Better. All the better to be able to get to her through him. Either way it didn't matter. Shinobi Shaw he had a score to settle with, and he was damned if Shaw's plan would take out the girl before he got his shot.

He glanced at the scrap of communiqué he had gotten from Silver Fox. The squaw had some loyalties after all. She'd scribbled him an email, and circled in yellow highlighter was the words, "Thought you might like this, dirtball. Go piss up a rope� and weep�"

"Yer right. I hate she's with the runt, but you just saved yer pretty ass," he spoke to nobody in particular. For after it were the details of a secret communiqué that she'd intercepted? Seems Hydra had gotten a contract to carry out a kidnapping. And through that, an assassination.

"Lady Mariko's been found all right," he laughed. "Wouldn't ya piss yer pants if ya know I knew where she was all this time�"

Oh he'd been able to track her. After the fire boy had taken her away. He had wanted to kill her for what she had done. But as the time had passed, he had come to feel a strange warm gladness for her. She had a backbone after all. Any frail that tried to off him had his twisted respect.

His nose wrinkled, as he smelled something. What was a frail doing out here? He frowned as he stopped the Humvee and climbed out. Two frails, and a tin man. Coming close.

Of course he was in the X mansion's territory. Masking his scent with that high tech group that Maverick had given his way. The runt couldn't smell him a mile away cause of it. Made it less fun. He slid alongside the fence and followed the smell of the two frails, and hid.

"Pete, I don't like this� Logan looked so� distant when he came back�"

"He has his reasons," Peter Rasputin said as he walked by with Kitty.

"But they were so�"

He waited as they disappeared, and another scent joined his. A young scent that was gliding past quickly. Delicious, and mingled with the runts and that of Yum Yum. Licking his lips he wondered whom it was, and then smiled wickedly. The kid. The little firebug herself.

"Guys, what's UP with Wolvie?" she called. The smells of Kitty and Peter returned, and he heard their feet pounding.

"Did you hear�" came a German accented voice, and Creed almost sneezed at the scent of brimstone. It smelled familiar, almost like something in his past.

"Hear what� what's going on?"

"The professor and Polymer were talking," said Kurt softly. "She's going away�"

"Where?" Kitty asked.

"Shit, what's going on?"

"Shh," said Kurt. "From what I shouldn't have heard, Michelle has to go away. And Logan's going with her�"

"Where� what's�" Kitty trailed off.

"I think they mentioned Japan� but we're not supposed to know�"

"Michelle's from Japan� do you think�" trailed off Kitty.

"No way� they can't just up and leave� why are they�" Jubilee demanded. "And why didn't we know?"

"Please, meine freunden� the only details I can relate is that Michelle is having family problems and she's handing over leadership of X Men red to someone else� she doesn�t know how long she'll be away� and Logan won't either�"

"But they� they don't know that we know�" Kitty whispered.

"Say what?" asked Jubilee.

"She's part of clan Yashida, you dummies," whispered Kitty. "The computer files don't lie. It's like we thought all along� she's probably going to help the family kick butt�"

"What do you know about�" Jubilee hissed.

"Enough to know that Yashida's a big family, and they're in some kinda trouble with the Japanese mob. They could be in a big mess," said Kitty. "We have to help them�"

"Katya, they don't want us interfering� they'll know we�"

"Well tough, cause I'm gonna book a one way ticket to Japan now, on Travelocity� and if you guys have ANY sense you're gonna come with me�"

"Nein Katschen you cannot�" Kurt trailed off.

"Stop me or come along, your choice," Kitty hissed. The Bamf sound was accompanied by the receding scents and Creed laughed inwardly.

"Getting more an more fun," he nodded. Another series of smells told him that someone else was watching, and he tucked himself into the trees as he waited for the runt and Yum Yum to exit the mansion.

Kitty Pryde had packed her suitcase. She zipped up her jacket and put on her sunglasses, picking up the case. The door opened, and Peter Rasputin was standing in her way.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Out," she said.

"But they've already left� there is nothing you can�"

He was trying to get in her way as she phased through him. "You can't stop me, Peter� the taxi's almost here�"

"But you can't�"

"They already left in the minijet�" Kitty snapped as he rushed down the stairs after her. "Now are you gonna help me or not�"

"Kitty I cannot condone this�"

"Then scram� I'll go with our without you!" Kitty snapped.

"Katya!" Peter cried as she phased through the walls, and out of his grasp. She climbed into the taxi, and he rushed after it as it squealed off.

"Kitty!" he yelled.

Kurt materialized outside the mansion, carrying two suitcases. "I was afraid of this," he said as he watched the receding taillights of the taxi.

"I can't believe� I couldn�t' stop her�"

"That's why you and I must go after her," said Kurt. "Professor X told us. We're a team. Surely Logan won't like it� but�"

"What's this� you've packed me a bag?"

"Ja, and we have two tickets on the next flight to Tokyo," said Kurt.

"And that's not all, mes ami," Gambit said as he trotted down the front steps. "Remy's goin' along�"

"Now I know this is insane," Peter sighed as he took the bag kurt handed him.

"Professor's orders," said Nightcrawler. "Gambit's skills may come in handy. His family has knowledge of the Yakuza's skills�"

"Bein' a tief has its perks, no? So are we ready t' go?" Gambit asked as he slid cards into his long brown coat. "Da car awaits�"

"I hope we won't piss Logan off�" mumbled Colossus as he picked up the suitcases and followed Gambit.

"Hey wait for me!" Jubilee yelled as she rushed after them.

"Petit, don't make dis any harder," said Gambit as he put her suitcase out of the trunk of his sportscar.

"You can't go, Liebchen, it's too dangerous!"

"And Kitty can?" Jubilee snapped hands on her hips as she grabbed her suitcase and tossed it in the trunk.

"We don't have time for this, malishka, you can't go�"

"Logan and Michelle are my friends, and teammates I can't just�" Jubilee protested as Colossus climbed into the passenger seat next to Gambit, and Nightcrawler put her suitcase out of the trunk. The engine roared into life, and Gambit started to pull out.

"Petit, stay put, and dat's an order�"

"You're NOT the boss of me!" she snapped. She seized it from him and planted it back in.

"Your problem," Gambit said. "Let's go� we already late�"

"You can't leave me behind�" Jubilee huffed as she ran around and stood in front of the sportscar.

"Jubilee, get outta da way!" Remy huffed.

"I'll stand here till you take me!" Jubilee yelled, arms spread out.

"Let me handle this," Kurt whispered as he teleported away. At the last minute he grabbed Jubilee from behind and tugged her out of the way. Gambit pulled out with a squeal of tires and shot out onto the driveway.

"Hey!" Jubilee cried.

"Liebchen, please we must do this�" he whispered as he kissed her cheek. She snorted in protest as brimstone filled her nostrils.

Nightcrawler was gone that next second, and she saw her suitcase tossed out of the car as it passed around again, and circled away. Angrily she grabbed it, and started to race behind them on her rollerblades. "You get back here you�"

"Au revior, petit� be brave!" Gambit's voice drifted to her as she struggled to keep up.

Slinging her suitcase over her shoulder she pushed her hands behind her, and let loose with a streak of pyro that pushed her ahead. Faster and faster she shot forwards, and the taillights of Gambit's car were visible.

"Show you jerk oids to leave ME behind," she snorted as she hunkered down, and reached for the back bumper.

However a burst of speed from the car shot out a cloud of exhaust and Jubilee was forced to let go. She coughed as she was again outpaced.

Gasping and coughing she felt her skates jerk out from under her, and she was out of control. Rolling over the side of the road into the ditch. Dirt filled her mouth, and her suitcase went flying as she lay still against the side of the road.

Slowly she blinked, coming to as she felt the cold air around her. It was far later than she realized for the stars were out, and the moon was slipping behind the dark clouds. Shivering she felt the throbbing in her head and tried to move her arms and legs.

"Great move, Jubes," she mumbled. She reached for her communicator, and found a few busted pieces. No doubt it had broken when she tumbled out of control.

Here she was at least a mile or so from the mansion. She glanced at her watch, and saw it was nine at night. How long had she been out? At least an half-hour. A trickle of something dribbled down her forehead and she realized it was blood when she trailed a finger through it and tasted it. Her helmet and padding had protected her, but she heard a ringing in her ears, and realized she was bleeding from several places.

"Great," she mumbled, feeling woozy as she stumbled to the roadway, trying to keep her balance. She moved back and found her suitcase, battered but intact. Nothing more to do but try and blade back to the mansion and hope that Rogue or Storm could notice she was gone and help her.

Shaky legs made it hard to steady herself. She felt her balance going, and she slid into the gravel by the roadside as she tried to stop herself from falling dangerously. Moaning she rolled to sit up, and glanced left and right. Was that a light from an oncoming car? Surely it was dangerous to have a stranger give her a ride, but hey, she was an X man. If any trouble happened, she could paff them and�

She sat up; glancing as the car pulled to a stop, and she realized someone had seen her. The reflective strips on her padding and her neon coat were unmistakable as she sat there on the guardrail. The large shape pulled up, and the window slid down. She glanced up at the blonde man sticking his head out.

"Hey what the hell are ya doin' on the side of da road, frail?" he yelled. "Doncha know it's friggin nine at night."

"Scuse me," she mumbled. "But I kinda need someone to call like the police. Do you have a cell phone�"

"I can give ya a ride, girly� ya shouldn't be out at dis time o' night all by yer lonesome," said the gruff voice that sounded vaguely like Logan's.

His eyes were covered by shades, and the lights of the humvee were bright. "I don't take rides from strangers�"

"Hey, here's my phone girly� you make a call, an I'll wait wit ya," came a laugh. She caught the object as he tossed it out. Sighing she punched the X mansion and tried to get a dialtone.

"Hello� someone pick up," she said.

"What's da matter, nobody at home?" he asked. She noticed that the door was open, and he was sitting in the front seat.

"Hi it's Jubes� I'm gonna call the police now� I'm waiting by the side of Grimalken lane with some dude�"

She said to the machine. Then she dialed the police and gave her information. Still the engine of the Humvee rumbled as the mysterious blonde guy waited, the radio turned onto the local rock station.

"Take yer time girly," he said.

"Here's your phone, mister," she said as she wobbled to her feet and tossed it back. "Thanks. I'm just gonna wait for the police�"

"Kinda cold ain't it?" he asked.

"Sorry dude but no thanks�" she said as he opened the door.

"Suit yerself. I'm gonna wait here till the cops show. Frail like you shouldn't be out here. No telling what sickos could come an' cause yer pretty ass trouble," he said.

"Dude, just chill, okay," Jubilee mumbled. Creed tossed a blanket out, and she grabbed it, realizing he knew what she was thinking, and was honoring her wariness. The blanket made a better seat. Minutes passed and she sat, and so did the guy in the Hummer. He was sipping on a bottle of water, and she caught the one he threw out at her, trying not to appear too desperate as the minutes crept into a half-hour.

"Don't look like anyone's coming. Ya sure ya don't wanna ride?"

"No thanks�" she mumbled, feeling faint. She raised her hands as she saw him climb across the seat and step out, his steel-toed boots hitting the pavement. He was tall, and his hair was shoulder length. Something about him gave her the creeps as he approached her.

Another vehicle was approaching, and he turned towards the sound. Jubilee saw him tense, and heard him growling. "Shit� just perfect�"

"Police are here� I'm just gonna go now�" Jubilee murmured.

"Dat ain't da police, frail�" he mumbled.

"Get off it," she mumbled as he turned, standing and blocking her view of the other vehicle pulling up. It was a massive shape, larger than the HUMVEE and certainly not a typical police vehicle.

"Dat ain't the police, ya stupid skirt," he muttered as he reached down, and snatched Jubilee up. "If ya wanna live, come with me quiet like�"

"Let me go you dweeb!" Jubilee yelled as she kicked and screamed.

Victor Creed grabbed her and the suitcase and tossed her into the front seat. "Shaddup girl, I ain't kidding around� unless ya wanna get waisted, shut up and sit still�"

"Let me outta here or I'll�"

"Shut up," Creed hissed, putting his hand over her mouth as the vehicle pulled up, and he belted her into the seat.

She gasped when she heard someone rolling down a window, and Creed slid his window up. A face poked out, and she saw its visored helmet looking at Creed. "You need help, mister?"

"Nah, just helping out the kid," he said. Jubilee kicked against him but he held his hand over her mouth, and pulled her body alongside his tightly.

"IF you're smart you'll let her go�" said the voice, and Jubilee's eyes widened at a gun muzzle. Whoever it was, it wasn't the police.

"Eat my shit," he muttered, and then a gunshot made Jubilee scream against his hand. Creed jammed on the gas, still holding her mouth with his hand that gripped her body. The HUMVEE peeled out, and she heard gunshots cracking all around them.

"Oh shit, oh shit, what the hell is going on!" she yelled.

"Shut up and stay still if ya wanna live�" Creed snarled at her.

"Who the HELL are you?"

"An old friend of yer buddy Michelle�" he laughed.

"Now I know you're full of shit," Jubilee snapped as she tried to free her hands.

"I ain't lying, frail. Dose idiots are way worse then me� and since you were stupid enough to poke your nose into this sitch, you're stuck with me for the ride," he snarled as he reached out, and pushed her down.

She yelped as he pulled out a gun and fired out the window. The car lurched, and Creed yanked the wheel to the side. "Who the hell are they?"

"Hydra, kid," he mumbled. "Believe me, I'm a Boy Scout compared to dose assholes�"

"Sure you're a regular NICE guy�" she snorted.

"If you wanna get your pretty self outta here and help yer friends, you'll help ME," Creed snapped. "Get those fireworks of yours ready when I give the say so�"

"How do you KNOW�"

"I'm not stupid, frail. I seen you and da X men training�"

"But�"

"I'm an old buddy of Wolverines� he and me go WAYY back," he said.

"Oh yeah like I'll believe THAT," Jubilee snapped. She yelped as a bullethole exploded the glass beside her, and she raised her hands to paff at the helmeted shape aiming a gun at her. The world exploded, and Creed tugged the steering wheel around to the left.
