Patchverse: Night trips

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

Jubee giggled and Arnold explored her shoulder, nose twitching as he moved. Jubee herself had a large cardboard box of parts she'd found in a dump, playing with the tools she'd bought to try making things without her own hardware. The mess sat on newspapers and stretched over a good five-foot square area of her bedroom floor, beyond which the room was its usual pristine self.

So far she'd managed to make a small assortment of action heros, all standing almost a foot high and made out of various gadgets and parts, some with bent metal plating. She beamed and looked at Pikachu, who had his own small wire-made Arnold Jr. sitting on top of his head.

She looked up, sensing it was getting late. She smiled and wondered if Wolvie wanted her to go with him again to the basement bar they'd been visiting the past four nights.

Logan frowned at himself absently in the mirror, then smirked as he felt Tikvah's arms close around him from behind. "Hey, darlin'. Gonna take the kid t' see Roy 'n the gals."

An intangible kiss graced his cheek and he grinned, then sighed as she let go of him. "Love ya, darlin'."

The little green frog appeared with a pop and clung to his collar as he walked over to Jubilee's room and knocked.

"Come in, Wolvie!" the girl giggled, finishing her Wolvie figurine as she carefully placed a tiny wire cigar in the tin mouth and tried to think of what to make next.

"Y' reckon they oughtta?" He paused to look down at her.

"It would be funny to see Kurt dance," she giggled. "And he's too serious sometimes."

[random_xtras]

"Y'don' wanna wait fer Murdock?" he teased her.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"He's comin', right?" she looked up at him questioningly.

[random_xtras]

"Still packed a pretty good kick." He smirked as Kurt turned to look at him with shock.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn'tknow," she said innocently and laughed, swinging his hand. "I can't wait! Is it a really cool place? Bar or club?"

[random_xtras]

"'Bout half an hour," he said as the waitress left. Then he glanced up as a wind blew overhead. "Hey, Mistral."

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

She looked up and smiled.

"I've always loved Hell," she said, then looked around again and hugged Logan. "Thanks for bringing me, Wolvie!"

[random_xtras]

"That's alright," he said gruffly, hugging her a little tighter.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"I guess so," she hid her face in his chest, closing her eyes and trying not to sniff.

[random_xtras]

"Hmmm, hold on a snap." He turned and strode to the bar, then returned with a small device in his hand. "Here, Shard useta use this. It programs you a caffeine buzz."

Logan blinked and cut a glance at it, suddenly understanding all the times the photonic life form had come back to Xavier's buzzed out of her theoretic skull.

"Really? I've never felt one before," her eyes get huge and she took it and then gave him a hug. "Thanks, Gator!"

"Murdock, don't salt the boyscout. Salt ain't fun in fur." Logan growled at the young lawyer, whose eyes were as bright as Jubilee's.

Matt flushed guiltily as his senior partner gave him a look of mild reproof over K'tara's head. "Sorry?"

"Are you?" Kurt stole some of his steak.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"You guys are silly," she laughed.

[random_xtras]

"Jubilee?" K'tara was suddenly there, golden eyes questioning and concerned.

Jubilee climbed down and hugged her, laughing. "This is so awesome! Roy saw me!! This is so freakin' cool!!"

[random_xtras]

"Missed you too," he rumbled softly, fishing a pair of wire rimmed glasses out of the chest pocket of his vest and trying to put them on one-handed without setting her down.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

She giggled and helped him, then kissed his nose. "You were great tonight."

[random_xtras]

"I know." He grinned sheepishly.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"Can we Wolvie?" she looked back up at him, eyes big.

[random_xtras]

"So? I don't gotta nother one." He frowned and looked down again, ignoring Roy as the big man fell prey to the snorting giggles.

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"But it's Roy's sweat and fur and stuff," she giggled. "You'll get hairballs!"

[random_xtras]

"Ya sick?" He looked at her with quick concern, then turned and offered her his broad back, hands ready for her legs.

She hoped up slowly and sighed, laying her head on his shoulder. "No... just... worn out. My tummy aches a little, but it's just my head that's real tired," she sighed, arms looping around his neck. "It's cool. It feels... real."

[random_xtras]

He stopped halfway down the steps and turned with dismay. "Don' open 'em out there. Come on in 'n shut the door."

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

"Don't open what, Wolvie?" she asked, skipping inside and closing the dorr, holding the package close and safe.
