Chapter 1

Jubilation Lee paced back and forth across the front porch, hands in the pockets of her trademark yellow raincoat and head sunk deep in thought. She didn�t want to leave. Lord knows she cried while packing her bags, but "Queen Emma" had spoken. No humans in the X-Mansion; even if you used to be a first-teamer, even if you were a first-teamer long before she retired her lingerie.

Still, she could only blame Emma Frost for so much of it. Emma was born a bitch. It was like she never really had a choice. She may even be looking out for her in Emma�s own bitchy way. It almost didn�t seem like it was personal� and while she probably did enjoy it, Emma Frost was not the one she was angry at.

"Damn you, Logan." Jubilee mumbled under her breath. What the hell ever happened to us? We were partners, inseparable, like peanut butter and jelly, death and taxes, Burt and Ernie.

Once, her and Logan were tighter than family. His somber moods were brightened by her personality. His seriousness brought her back down to earth. They just fit. It was kismet. It was the only time in her life when she really felt like she was part of something.

That had all changed when she�d "volunteered" to be sent to Massachusetts. She didn�t really want to go, but she knew Logan wanted her to. Finishing school with people her own age wasn�t the worst idea ever. Logan wanted what was best for her, and like a fool, she did it. When Frost�s Academy finally folded, she thought Logan would take her back with open arms.

"No such luck, Jubilation." Logan had to go find himself or whatever, like I couldn�t help.

Things were never the same.

The final insult was when Scott decided to divide up the teams. Jubilee was left off the roster. She begged to be put back on. Logan did not stick up for her. The �M-Wave� took her powers away. Logan didn�t console her.

She cried herself to sleep, everyday, for a month straight.

Logan never called.

She felt the tears well up in the corners of her eyes. Jubilee didn�t try to stop them. "What did I ever do to you?"

Emma Frost had e-mailed her, saying that the human staff would leave the mansion. All former dorm rooms were needed for mutant refugees, they would FedEx her things.

Jubilee traveled cross-country to pick up her stuff, but that wasn�t the real reason she came. She came to see Logan for one last time.

He wasn�t there.

Scott, Kitty, Hank and the white bitch had jaunted off on some mission. They took Logan with them. It was like being kicked in the gut for the hundredth time.

She got the message. Jubilation Lee was not good enough. Not for Logan and not for the X-Men.

She cried.

* * * * *
The Shi�ar Starunner dropped into realspace. Silently it glided across the vast emptiness, passing a crater marked moon that hung serenely above it. The avian looking vessel approached the little blue and white ball, the object it had targeted from a galaxy away. Unnoticed it gently cut into the upper atmosphere and pointed its nose at the North American continent.

* * * * *
Jubilee wiped away the tears for the last time. "No more," she told herself, "no more crying, no more regrets and no more Logan. Leave it behind." As she raised her head in renewed determination she spied the black speck in the blue sky.

She squinted at it, trying to make out what it was. Her heart jumped. "Blackbird returning?" She asked herself. No, the angle was wrong. She�d seen that particular jet return hundreds of times. This was coming in far to steep. A little twinge of fear shot up her spine as the speck grew into a dot.

Jubilee trotted over to the intercom. Luckily, she wasn�t the only one at the mansion. "Forge?" she didn�t wait for a response, "Are you tracking anything over the mansion�s airspace?"

His gruff voice crackled a reply, "No. Why?"

Jubilee stepped over to the edge of the porch, dodging the cardboard boxes full of her belongings and peering back into the sky. The dot was a ball, a flaming halo outlining its awful intent.

"Forge," Jubilee called to the intercom, "I think we have company."

The crash of a sonic boom shook the masonry. Jubilee�s arms pinwheeled, grabbing onto the railing for support. The fire-bolt streaked past her, a hundred feet overhead but still close enough to feel the heat of the flames. It appeared to be slowing, setting off sonic booms as it went. It passed over the mansion, disappearing out of view somewhere in the back.

Jubilee found her balance and made her way to the intercom. "Forge, keep the kids here. I�m checking it out." Jubilee headed towards the garage, hoping Logan left the keys in his bike.

Forge�s voice echoed uselessly out of the speaker. "Checking out what? I don�t have anything on the scanners."

* * * * *

The ship descended into the backwoods of the mansion grounds, finding a half-acre glen it could be concealed in. For several minutes there was no activity, the ship simply sat there, intimidating in its silence. Jubilee roared through the trees on her borrowed Harley, following a path normally reserved for jogging. Cutting the engine she got off and crept to the tree line of the shady glen.

Ominously a ramp lowered on the underside of the craft. A tall woman stepped out first. She wore the red and black uniform of a Shi�ar Imperium officer. Missing were the feathers of that avian race, instead she had short-cropped black hair. Tanned skin, an athletic build, and the way she carried herself cut an imposing figure.

Beside and behind was a fashion nightmare. Her skintight green dress had a plunging neckline so low it cut a "v" beneath her navel, only six inches away from the hem of her miniskirt. She wore a pair of Day-Glo blue moon-boots, a black feather boa and large amber sunglasses. Her outfit was hideous, but the girl was physically beautiful. She was average height, but that was the only thing average about her. Her face was angelic, a small nose and a large mouth that seemed more used to a smile than frown. She had gloriously long orange tresses, curly and full.

Both women seemed strangely familiar, but Jubilee couldn�t place where she�d seen them before.

Once they were clear, the ramp raised and the starship shimmered momentarily as its holographic camouflage activated, replacing the interstellar craft with trees, earth and sky.

Jubilee peeked through the leaves, watching the uniformed woman point at things in the environment. They are definitely not from around here. The big one seems to be in charge, the other is moving to where that one indicates. Guess I should see if they�re friendly. But just in case�

Jubilee quietly backed towards the Harley Davidson. She rummaged through Logan�s saddlebags, looking for a weapon. Her eyes lit up as she wrapped her hand around one of Remy�s collapsible staves. Looks like either I grabbed the wrong bike or Gambit�s been doing some joyriding. Stuffing the metal cylinder in her pocket, Jubilee made her way down to the clearing. I hope they speak English.

Before she stepped into view, she heard the orange-haired alien speak.

"This planet is so the suck," the fashion nightmare began, "it�s hot and wet and dirty and it sucks!"

"We�re in the wilds, Aura." The big one said her voice commanding yet familiar. "This isn�t the royal palace. And the temperature is warmer than planetary average. Lower your voice, we are on an infiltration mission and our landing already revealed our location. You�re prattle will lead them right to us."

The color-clasher, Aura, began to wave her hands in disgust. "I don�t care," she whined in playful sarcasm. "I just don�t want to get my outfit smegged up." Light started to radiate from around her body, a soft yellow glow radiated about an inch above her skin and clothes. She began to hover a few feet off the ground.

Jubilee hunched a little lower. Fantastic! Aliens that speak English and have superpowers. At least they seem friendly. Jubilee had to laugh a little. Getting dirty could only help that outfit though.

At the near silent sound of her laugh the big girl turned. She seemed to stare directly at her. The jig is up.

"Hello?" Jubilee called as she stepped into view.

Aura�s head spun, sending her orange hair whipping around. Her yellow light shifted to blue and her feet thumped as she dropped out of the air.

For a long moment there was a nervous stand off.

"Friends?" Jubilee asked with a smirk.

"Earthling!" She pointed at Jubilee. Aura�s halo switched from blue to red. A crimson beam of energy erupted from her extended finger. The nimble Jubilee barely dodged in time. The laser passed just inches from her skin, her coat caught fire where the beam had touched it.

"Aura!" The large woman shouted, "She came in peace!"

"No way!" Aura cried while still pointing that red-hazed finger, "I seen their flicks! They kill extra-terrestrials on sight!"

Jubilee dodged a second blast, this one even closer to her face. "Hey! This isn�t a movie! This is my life you�re talking about!" The intense heat from the laser singed the hair on her arm. Jubilee back-flipped and sprinted towards a downed log. Aura trained her finger on Jubilee�s back. The leader stepped in front of her.

"Cease!" She yelled, leaning down into the others face. "It�s infantile and counter productive. She has no powers or weapons. This human is harmless."

The red aura dissipated form around the orange-haired alien. She threw up her hands and stomped off towards the invisible ship. "Fine Savy, but if she cuts us open to see how our insides work, I�m blaming you."

With Aura leaving in a huff, the tall woman turned to the downed log. "You can come out now."

Jubilee peered over her makeshift shield. "Is your trigger happy friend gone?"

The dark-haired woman smiled. "She�s just looking out for herself. I don�t think she�s ever been off-world before." The tall woman shifted her statuesque figure to a non-threatening pose. "My name is Savant, I apologize for the misunderstanding."

"No problem," Jubilee said rising cautiously. "It kind of a tradition with super-types, don�t stress over it. You speak really good English by the way."

"I learn languages fairly quickly. Aura was raised speaking it." Savant turned her head. "Aura, please apologize to our new acquaintance. This mission will be very difficult if you can�t make friends."

Mission?

Aura trotted over with a guilty look on her face. She smiled. Aura�s body was bathed in light, an ever-changing halo of colors. Jubilee watched as the light shifted from red to yellow to blue all in the same instant. It was so strange and captivating, she didn�t look away.

"You want to be friends?" The alien spoke as she slowly approached. "Okay!" Excitedly the girl cried as she threw her arms around her and kissed the stunned Jubilation on the cheek.

Jubilee let it happen. It�s like a kaleidoscope, or the northern lights. Her light show makes everything seem so much� cooler?

Aura, smiled and gazed into Jubilee�s eyes. The enraptured young woman smiled back. "What�s your name new friend?"

It took a moment, but Jubilee remembered. "Jubilee�"

"Pleased to meet ya, Jubilee!" Aura said as she kissed her other cheek. "My name is Aura, 36-24-36. I�m a Pisces and my hobbies are dancing, partying and having a good ol� time. I love your eyes! They�re kinda slanty and mysterious, really pretty! Are they natural or did you get those done?"

Jubilee felt compelled to answer the girls prattle. She opened her mouth to speak-

"You�re mouth is cute too! I love the shape! And your lips look like so much fun! I haven�t knocked boots ALL day!" She gave Jubilee a dirty wink. "Getting that hot and needy feeling, ya know what I mean?"

Jubilee couldn�t look away. She wanted to tell this strange woman everything she wanted to know.

"Your skin is so cute. Is that like tan-in-a-bottle or is it natural?" Aura hooked her finger into the collar of Jubilee�s shirt and looked down it. "Wow! That is so cool�"

Peaking down Jubilee�s shirt forced her back to reality. She blinked and shoved Aura to the ground. "Hey!" She reached into her pocket and whipped out the staff. Flicking her wrist the segmented metal snapped open. "Hands off!" Jubilee shifted her weight into a ready position. Thinking quickly she lower her sunglasses down from her forehead to her nose. "Turn off that light-show before I-"

"Cease!" Savant said, a distinct tone of aggravation in her voice. "You had no right to mesmerize Jubilee."

Aura scowled from her muddy seat on the ground. "You said �make friends� Savy� how else am I supposed to make her my friend?"

Savant turned her attention back to Jubilee. "I apologize for the way you were treated. You came in friendship, this should not have happened. Aura?"

From her spot on the ground, Aura rubbed her backside and looked up at Jubilee. "Sorry babe. I tried to steal second base." She shrugged and gave a weak smile. "No big thing, right?"

Savant lowered her head and chuckled. She extended her hand to Jubilation. "I believe this is the traditional method of peaceful welcome." Jubilee took her hand; it was large and strong but still soft and feminine. "My name is Savant. I�m a scientist, formerly with a group called Project: Helix."

"Jubilation Lee." She responded while collapsing her staff. "Umm� formerly with the X-Men."

"Excellent." Savant said without changing her expression, "just the people we were looking for."

After another quick apology from Aura they were on their way. Jubilee found the going a little rough, walking back the large motorcycle slowed her down greatly. Aura sought to make up her earlier indiscretion.

"I�m really sorry about that." Aura gushed, large plastic earrings clanking as she spoke. "My only exposure to Earth culture has been through movies and television shows." She shrugged her shouldered, her teased-up orange hair bounced as she walker. "Between "Starman", "The Thing" and "E.T." I figured your people just shot off-worlders� on sight."

"You watch our TV?"

"Yeah," Aura said, "Its some kind of space warp. We started receiving your broadcasts about 50 years ago." Aura shrugged again making her puffy hair bounce. "Personally, I think they�re way rocket!"

Jubilee gave her a sideways glance. ""Way rocket", who talks like that?"

"The kids on DeGrassi High."

""DeGrassi High"? Never heard of it."

Aura shrugged, "it�s a pivotal show for my planets culture. It teaches the teenagers how they should act."

"Teaches?" Jubilee couldn�t help but be confused. As someone known for her incessant prattle, Aura seemed to be working on breaking her record.

"Isn�t that what the boob tube is for?"

"No." Jubilation had to correct. "It�s for entertainment."

"Entertainment?" Now Aura was the one confused. "That�s not what Burt & Ernie, Mr. Rogers, and the Electric Company say."

As they stepped onto the back lawn, a modified SR 71 Blackbird began to lower itself into the secret hangar below the basketball court.

"Looks like the X-men are back."

"Excellent." Savant stated flatly.

* * * * *
By the time Jubilee and the rest had gotten back to the mansion, the others had settled in. Scott, as always, was overly cautious. Logan and Kitty seemed to accept them at face value. Emma was a bitch. Hank however, was genuinely intrigued.

Jubilee could not shake the feeling that she�d met these women before. They seemed so familiar.

While they ate a light lunch of fruit, bread and cheese, Hank asked questions and Savant answered. Scott listened intently like it was an interrogation. Jubilee tried to pay attention, and not stare at Aura staring at her.

"More aliens." Emma said in her cultured voice. "Like we haven�t had enough of those as of late."

Even after two glasses of wine, Emma is a bitch.

Savant spoke with all the passion of a tour guide. "There is a small planet in the Shi�ar Empire called Coconut Grove. 10,000 years ago they created a hyperspace conduit, a device still used in interstellar starships. Owning the patent led to tremendous wealth for Coconut Grove. Due to cultural promiscuity and parentage laws, 50% of the population is considered wealthy by galactic standards and 90% will never have to work. Over the generations, Grovians became obsessed with status and style, they culturally dedicated themselves to keeping up with the latest trends. Coconut Grove became a pleasure planet, full of private estates and nightclubs."

Dr. McCoy scratched the side of his muzzle. "Intriguing Ms. Savant. Their culture seems quite unique."

"Degenerate is the general consensus." Savant shrugged and drank from her glass. "Years of inbreeding by the idle rich caused a genetic terminus, they�d reached the end of evolution. They no longer mutate. Slowly they will fall victim to inherited weaknesses and inevitable extinction."

Emma chortled, "I suppose their royal family is named �Guthrie�?"

How can you still be a bitch? Jubilee thought, You don�t even know them and you�re sill a bitch.

McCoy leaned in. His interest was piqued. "So what did they decide?"

"They couldn�t." Savant added. "As a culture they had been following trends for so long, they�d lost the capability to innovate. Grovians had socially programmed themselves to become so concerned with what other people thought that their capacity for imagination had been reduced." Savant paused and let that sink in. "They knew they had a problem but couldn�t produce a solution."

Hank considered this. Jubilee tried to stay awake. Aura wolfed down a bowl of blueberries. Logan got himself another beer.

That makes five at lunch Wolvie, don�t think I didn�t notice.

Savant continued. "Luckily for them, another race, the Kree, were in a similar situation. They had also reached evolution�s end. The Kree Consortium contacted the Grovians and worked out a deal. They would share data and facilities, the Grovians would pay for all research, together they would reap the benefits. All they needed was to find a race that they were both compatible with who had not reached genetic terminus."

Scott crossed his arms in a smug manner, knowing what came next. "So mutants became their guinea pigs?"

"No," Savant said flatly. "The Kree had dealt with planet Earth before and did not want to call down the wrath of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, or someone called Rick Jones. Instead they hired a group of thieves to steal information from a computer called Cerebro."

At this point, Kitty Pryde raised her head. Things had finally gotten interesting. "So they stole from the X-Men?"

"Yes. They copied the information from the computer and gave it to Project: Helix. Cerebro only had detailed files on the genetic codes of the mutants designated X-Men. Using that they began to experiment with different combinations of DNA, mixing and matching until they achieved their first success. Me."

Jubilee�s mouth hung open with the realization. No wonder she thought they�d met before. The face is a little different but Savant could be Sage�s big sister. Jubilee took in the broadness of the woman�s shoulders and smirked. Okay, Sage�s much bigger sister.

"Quickly we produced a second subject, anxious for positive results. Aura was completed one month after I was, and another child in the next. Then the project slowed to a halt."

"Why?" Hank asked. "They produced results. If you have to breed two new races overnight you�d need�"

"Lawsuits." Savant interjected. "The Kree wanted to raise the experiments as soldiers and only lend them out for breeding purposes. The Grovian�s claimed ownership. Project Helix tried to claim guardianship. It was tied up in litigation for ten years. Finally the court decided the Kree, Grovian�s and Helix would each keep one test subject."

Jubilee found it a little disturbing. How can Savant keep referring to herself like that? She�d said "test subject" and "experiment", but they were living things. Jubilee felt her stomach start to turn.

Savant continued. "So the Kree took one. Aura was raised in Coconut Grove. And I became a junior scientist in Project: Helix." Savant didn�t show much emotion, but Jubilee swore she could see a wistful look in her eye. "We were never told about each other."

Savant was interrupted by a loud snore. Jubilee turned and Aura�s head was face down on the table. Jubilee gave her a little nudge. "Sack time�" Aura mumbled as she swatted at the hand. Jubilee settled for picking a lock of long orange hair out of the bowl of fruit.

Savant smirked at her sleeping �sister�. "Years passed. Aura became your typical Grovian and I excelled in science. Helix valued my mental abilities. They�d given me Sage�s intelligence and analytical ability. Eventually all research was made available to me, or at least I thought it was. When I discovered secured files I had to know what they where hiding from me." Savant seemed to smirk, almost proud. "I decrypted their files and discovered I was one of three tests. I wanted to make contact but Helix denied a meeting between us. I accepted their decision and went back to work, until the day I discovered the flaw."

"Flaw?"

Savant took another drink and explained. "A factor the initial research overlooked. A genetic anomaly that would cause eventual system failure."

Jubilee shook her head. How can she so calmly talk about her own death?

"I tested myself in secret and learned it was true. Due to the mixture of genes and the nature of Grovian brain tissue, my mental faculties would eventually burn out. I�ve noticed a loss in processing speed already." Savant spoke solemnly. "I suspected that a similar situation might develop in the other Helix test subjects, so I took matters into my own hands."

"So you went for the other two," Scott added. "But why come here?"

"Aura was easy to find. The Kree however did not enjoy us breaking onto one of their military bases. We got caught in a fire fight and never had the chance to rescue that test subject." Savant drank form her glass. "We tried seeking amnesty in the Shi�ar Imperium. The Kree hired bounty hunters to track us down. They charged me with kidnapping Aura. After the incident on Sirius 5 we were declared criminals in Kree space. I don�t want to get into the legalities but basically they had one of us and we gave them the excuse to try for the whole batch." Savant looked back at Logan who was staring at her. After a long moment he looked away. "Our ship was damaged in the pursuit. I knew of one place we could get help and the hunters would be remiss to go."

Emma stood up quickly. The chair shot out from under her. "So you�ve brought them down on our heads? How very considerate." Scott opened his mouth to say something. "I already know!" Emma blurted as she stormed out of the room.

Scott held his face in his hands, seemingly in pain.

Hank looked at him. "Does she always shout both mentally and verbally?"

"You should hear her orgasm."

Kitty phased through the chair and headed for the door, "I�m gonna go forget I heard that."

Logan crumpled the empty beer can in his hand. "This �escaped experiment� shtick is hitting to close to home. I need to cut something." He left, heading into the hall. Jubilee couldn�t help but feel a little �stood up�, since he didn�t ask her to join him (again), but maybe Logan would be in a mood to talk after a few hours in the Danger Room. Her thought was cut short as she felt a hand on her thigh.

Aura looked at her with bleary, sleepy eyes. "Heavy vibe," Aura spoke while putting her sunglasses on. "What was that about?"

Jubilee didn�t give an answer

"You ain�t yippy-skippy with that stumpy dude, right?"

Jubilee just looked at her.

Aura took her hand off the girl�s thigh. "You want some girl talk? Maybe I can help?"

Jubilee shrugged, "Okay. Just don�t hit on me again."

"No problemo, baby." She held up her fingers in a peace symbol. "You can show me your planet."

Aura and Jubilee left the table quietly while Scott, Hank and Savant still talked.

Hank turned to Scott. "I need to do a full run of tests, find out if they do have our genetic codes and if there is a treatment for their condition." Scott tried to look away, but Hank put his paw on his friend�s shoulder. "SHIELD may even back us up if our genetic codes were stolen. In the meantime Forge can help them fix their ship."

Reluctantly Scott nodded. "Ms. Savant I offer you and Aura the mansion�s protection for the next couple days, till Hank is done with your prognosis and Forge is done repairing your spacecraft."

Savant�s demeanor seemed to ease, "Thank you, Mr. Summers. I will try not to be a hassle."

* * * * *
On the outer edge of the solar system, another vessel targeted the small blue orb third from the sun. Unlike the first, this ship was much more bulky. It didn�t slide through the air so much as loom. The open gun-ports and cannons bristled, twinkling in the weak sunlight with awful intent.
