Valley of the Queens: Exploring

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

Jubee drifted through the sky of the newest world she'd discovered, humming happily as she looked around, then grinned when she recognized the bio signiture of somebody she knew.

Swooping down she landed hard, rolling to a stop right next to the Jubal she'd known to be a hero, and have a wife named Saki. She'd been hoping to find him.

So, as soon as she fixed the many inconvieniances that her rough landing had caused, she go up and hug him.

He'd sensed his little sister coming as he crouched on the very edge of the Valley, but the sudden crash nearly made him jump over.

"Woah, chica!" He turned to look at her with a hand over his heart. "You okay?"

[mancalledjubes]

"Ack!" He darted away and hovered over the Valley. "No. I've just been thinking about a lot of other things."

He laughed and kissed her on the forehead, then brought them to a quiet side street in the Hell's Kitchen of 2030.

"Doesn't look much different from what I remember as a kid," he noted, looking down as he hovered at a level with the roofs of the brownstones. "Though I never went here. I saw the pictures."

Jubal realized that she'd noticed his glance and looked questioningly to Tikvah, who nodded. He nodded back, then put his hand on her shoulder so that Jubilee could see that there was indeed someone there, though she still couldn't see her.

"She's askin' if she kin touch ya," he reported softly, rubbing her back.

"Sounds right." He rumbled, then frowned and looked around for Jubal for a moment before shrugging and turning his attention to the little girl in his arms. "So where d'ya live?"

[random_xtras]

"Betcha could." He switched on the voice mail and got to his feet without putting her down. "Y' wanna room? I got a couple spare ones."

[random_xtras]

"Awww, hey." He went to one knee and put a hand out toward her face as though to wipe away tears.

[random_xtras]

He frowned slightly. "He hadta git goin'. But 'e said t' tell ya he wanted y' ta stay here."

[random_xtras]

He winced and chuckled. "Oww."
