Title: "Jail"
Fandom: Generation X/X-men
Pairing: Jubilee/Angelo
Theme: 10 Themes: "Jail"
Summary: Jubilee and Angelo find themselves in jail for something petty. WE discover just how much they need each other.
We’re going to Juvi. We’re going to Juvi. I’m going back to Juvi. Oh my god, Juvi.
Jubilee’s leg bounced nervously as she bit into the skin around her thumb nail. It was driving Angelo and the rest of their cellmates crazy, but only he could hear her broadcasting her thoughts to any sensitive in the area. He was also the only other person in the room, besides the officers that had brought them in, who knew that Jubilee had busted out of Juvi six years ago. Of course, it made perfect sense when one knew Social Services were negotiating with the Chinese Government so that she could live with her family.
She would level half of China just trying to escape.
Stop freaking out, chica. He shoved back at her, trying hard to block her out going message for help. They aren’t sending you to China. We’re runaways; they’ll send us to Juvi until Frost mind tricks us out of here.
Her blue eyes grew wide, looking over at him with an intense fear. If they find out we’re mutants, they’ll kill us.
He laughed out loud, earning him a few looks and some extra space on the bench. You’re cute and normal looking, you’ll be fine.
This seemed to calm her down, but now instead of that scared expression he rarely saw, he saw one he knew well. Jubilee moved away from her side of the cell to his, her face solemn and reserved. He had never been to Juvi. He had been lucky and it would have broken his mother’s heart, but the look in her eyes told him she would rather he never experienced it. Not with the looks they were already giving him.
She took his hand and squeezed it, her body tense and ready to fight.
His ego kept him from thanking her, but Angelo knew that he would be getting tired soon and that pixie punch was the only thing keeping him from being beaten to a bloody pulp.
He squeezed back.
