[Jubilee is once again sewing on things. These look like simple A-Line skirts that are in various colors. She's putting elastic in the waistband of what looks like a green and gold one. Her hands are covered once again in fingerless gloves.

That's not the important part. The important part is that Jubilee is full of fail and doesn't realize that

My last Christmas was spent on lockdown. My friends and I pretty much just played cards and drank beer all evening.

Lockdown? [An interested look.] Back home? [A smirk.] Not a criminal or somethin' are ya dude?

A criminal? With an honest face like mine? Nah, my boss just liked to keep tabs on all of us and never let us have fun.

[A grin. Wait until she finds out boss is NICK F'ING FURY!]

God, I used to live with more than one guy like that. Totally all about the work, and not about the fun. Got a couple living here like that now.

I'm Jubilee, by the way.

[It's not as glamorous as it sounds :| ]

I definitely feel for you. I don't think I could live with anymore self-righteous stiffs like that again, and getting away from the boss man is at least one good think about this place.

The name's J.T. Have you been around here long?

[God she knows. Raised by Wolverine, she's had more than a few run ins with the jerk.]

Eh. Just gotta know how to work around them. A lot of the time if you work it right, you can totally get away with stuff and they let it slide.

I've been here... almost a year now? Something like that.

[t-trade? :(]

Maybe the ones that you know. Mine thought that the marine corps. was too soft and kept us all under surveillance even when we were just going outside for thirty minutes.

That long, huh? So you must know all the ins and outs of this place.

[No! Her Wolvie!]

... Wow, I actually knew a guy like that back home. Thought he was kinda one of a kind. Because, seriously, no matter how many universes separate them, there shouldn't be more than one.

Actually, now that I think about it, my Dad was kinda that way too, depending on the situation.

Eh. I know how to get around. Whatcha need?

I don't know about that so much, since I met a whole little army of people like him, but he was definitely the worst of the bunch. Getting back to Christmas traditions, instead of Santa Claus, we got trained in telling if someone was a shape-shifting alien or not.

I think all parents have a little of that in them.

Just curious, mostly. I'm still new, and trying to get my bearings.

[thelittlestbub]

Shape shifting... [She shivers and whispers:] Skrulls, ugh. [Then, louder.]

Yeah, Dad was totally like that. He worked with one guy who was worse, but luckily I only met up with that guy a few times.

Well, if you've got any questions, totally don't mind answering them.

[bettertoburn]

[Just silence on this end for a minute or two. Did she just...]

What did you say?

video;

[thelittlestbub]

[Cue confused look.]

That my Dad worked with a guy who was worse than him? And that I'd answer any questions you had? Why?

video;

[bettertoburn]

No, not that. Did you just... They have Skrulls where you're from?

video;

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee stops and she really looks at him, through the NV, a scowl pulling her mouth down.]

... Yes. [A pause.] Your boss, what was his name?

video;

[bettertoburn]

[There's no doubt that she definitely knows about them. It's... Kind of nice to know he might not be the only person from his universe... Assuming Skrulls don't exist elsewhere.]

I'm probably not supposed to tell you, but since we're here [and the boss man already left him for dead.] it doesn't matter.

Does the name Nick Fury mean anything to you?

video;

[thelittlestbub]

Fury. [The name's hissed out between clenched teeth. Yeah, it means something to her.]

Do the names Wolverine or X-Men mean anything to you?
