Ooooh oh! The build up the realization the keeping Jubes this is just spectacular an excellent integration of verses and having her specialize in pyrotechnics even without her powers <3

Of all the Generation-X and New X-Men, I'd always thought Jubilee would be most likely to be a lifer, ie) the one who'd be in the business forever in whatever capacity she could.

Thanks ever so for the review.!

*squish back* Thanks ever so! When you have two great characters with awesome canon issues history, you really can't go wrong.

Yay! Jubilee has a new team. In some (lots) of ways I hated House Of M, what happened to Jubilee sucked, but I feel better now that I know she ended up with Barbara, who definitely understands all she's going through.

Will there be a sequel?

Thank you kindly!

Yeah, I felt quite disappointed in how neglected Jubilee has been. Granted, in the 90's I was kind of sick of her being the perpetual teenage mascot ;) but she had a lot of potential. Hopefully somewhere down the line, a writer will do for her what Whedon did for Shadowcat.

This is a one-shot, I'm afraid because I've got way too many things on my plate to continue it *L* However, I do love crossovers so if you'll forgive my self-pimping, you can check out my website.

Oh, this is lovely! I love Babs trying to trick Jubilee into sharing what had happened, and Jubilee making explosives for all the Bats.

Beautiful story.

Thanks ever so. It was a great prompt to get because they have such similar issues now. they're both birds with clipped wings, if you'll forgive the pun.
