Patchverse; Hell: Pain

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

It was midday in Hell when Jubilee toppled out of thin air, banging into a table and then hitting the floor with a loud thud and disrupting the mellow mealtime with a low moan. She was still wearing the outfit she'd snuck away in, but now the clothes were a little tighter, and her jeans were an inch too short for her legs.

Her face, though strained in a grimace of pain and glossy from sweat, was still hers, but looked aged about two years, and likewise her hair was almost a foot longer, reaching her lower back and sparkling with static electricity.

She lay in a crumpled heap, shivering and whimpering, then rolled over on her back, gasping as her body trembled.

"Wolvie...." she sobbed softly before blacking out.

Jubes sighed contently, then fell back asleep in his arms, still slutching the front of his jacket.

He sighs and carries her out of the apartment and down the stairs and out the back way and then home, where he carefully gets her shoes off and tucks her into her own bed. Tikvah vanishes with a little flash, and he can feel her hand on his shoulder as he straightens.

"I'm alright, darlin'. I'm jes' fine now."
