“it won’t be forever, buddy. besides, folks could never resist these — ” she sent some small colorful sparks up from her palms “ — even when people are afraid of mutants. no one could ever tear their eyes away from these shinies.”

bucky was, of course, security for this dance which found him standing outside, full combat outfit, just waiting for trouble to break lose. he hoped it just meant a few teens getting drunk that he’d have to tell off, but after the school’s last few events, he doubted he’d get the night off. rolling his shoudlers back, bucky spotted someone leaving the venue, whom he smiled to out of courtesy. “dance borin’, huh? i thought people loved ‘em? i certainly did back in the day. different dame every night an’ all that.”

“not really boring, just not my cup of tea.” jubes approached bucky, returning his cordial smile. she had seen her fair share of dances as a child, but considering how little she enjoyed thinking about her childhood, the memories were mostly corroborated. “you draw the short straw or what, then? why isn’t your ass in there pickin’ up broads?”

“Sorry. I was just curious.” Jude frowned. She looked down at her feet for a moment before looking back up and saying, “I take it you get asked that a lot?”

“it’s okay. sorry, i guess i just lost my temper a little.” jubes pushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear. “oh, you have no idea. some people who know me go years without even knowing that part of my life. i just don’t like to bring it up too much.”

“I totally got it. I’ll make sure to repeat it to anyone that asks about it for you.” Natalia smiles as she looks up at Jubilee – baby James awake in her own arms.

jubilee gave natalia an appreciative wink. “thanks, kiddo.” she looked down at the baby in her arms. “how old is he now? he’s getting big,” she observed.

“I wouldn’t judge you for drinking blood away – I can eat garbage for nourishment so no room for me to say anything.”

“yeah? what would you say if i told you i still got a little hungry every now and then?” she joked. “and i can’t believe you just compared junk food with blood.”

“I’m a single malt fan myself – but I’m honestly curious about the last bit.“ Cassidy peeked out from under his drawn up hood, a slight scowl on his expression. “As someone who’s still dealin’ with that shite… How’d yeh manage that? The only one I can think of that could get rid of it don’ seem to be listenin’, and I don’t think He’s gonna be startin’ anytime soon.”

jubes let go of a smirk at the mysterious man’s first comment. she had been known to down some poison herself. “i’m honestly not really sure. my friends found a cure — this was years ago — the rest is history. who else do you know that shook the disease?” she asked.

Hazel held her hands up in surrender. “Hey, I never said you were a vampire. And even if you are- were-, I’m fine with it. Vampires are cool.”

jubilee couldn’t help but smile at the other’s naivety. “try being one for a few years. trust me, it can wear you down faster than you think.”

“ ah really? so that means i gotta stop makin’ all those sun screen jokes? “ anna-marie teased as she looked at her friend who seemed annoyed, smirk pressing on her lipsticked lips. 

jubes rolled her eyes at her friend. she could tell that anna-marie was just teasing her, trying to get a rise. “you and logan just need to realize that dad jokes don’t add up to a legitimate sense of humor,” she jabbed with a smirk.

“Neat! You used to be one? I’m a vampire! It’s nice to meet you! I have to drink blood, but I can go out in the sun! I can also turn into bat so that’s fun! I’m Blayze, sorry, too much information?”

“slow down, kiddo,” jubilee advised, but there was a smile on her face. she always liked to meet people who she could sympathize with. “it’s nice to meet you, blayze. my name’s jubilee.”

“you mean you don’t want me to make any more dracula cracks?” logan quirked a brow with a straight face, “fine, bleh, jubes.”

“did you just bleh me?” jubes asked, almost incredulous. “real mature, logan. also, i don’t care that you make fun of me for it, i care that your dracula cracks suck.”

“i honestly don’t know why i keep having to explain this,” jubilee sighed. “no, i don’t drink blood. yes, i can go out in the sun. no, i am not a vampire...anymore. got it?”

( LUCY LIU, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ) — ✧ that looks like JUBILATION LEE, known as JUBILEE! they had children with MEGAN GWYNN and they are TOGETHER. i hear they’re ASSERTIVE & CONFIDENT, but tend to be OVERWHELMING & PESSIMISTIC. she works as a PYROTECHNICS TEACHER at paragon.

hey y’all this is my newest child jubes, pls continue reading if interested (tw: murder, vampirism)

history

full name jubilation lee, she pretty much goes by everything but that. be it jubes, jubilee, jujube, ju, juju, jubie, wondra, or even just lee, she’ll respond to basically everything except her full legal name.

a first generation american immigrant, her wealthy parents came from china to beverly hills, where jubes grew up privileged and proper until her parents lost a hefty chunk of their money in the stock market and were assassinated by mistake, all in the same weekend.

jubes was on her own, scraping up what she could by putting on minor fireworks displays at the mall, until she was picked up by a group of x-men.

she stayed with them for some time, developing meaningful connections with many of them, especially wolverine, among others.

long story short, jubes got around. she went on many a mission with the x-men, traveling the world several times over. she made and lost friends, became a vampire, etc. etc. (this was eventually cured (mostly))

during her restoration from vampirism and while on a mission with the x-men in budapest, she picked up what looked to be a misplaced baby boy on a train. she brought him back to the x-men after looking for any living relatives he may have and, finding nothing, named him shogo and filed for adoption.

somewhere along the way, she came across megan. lovely megan. they fell in love and lived happily ever after. kind of. it happened rather slowly, the pair of them leaning on each other to help parent their respective children. but their co-parenting relationship quickly became...more.

anyway, jubilee is now the proud mother of shogo, aeronwy, and manon. also proud grandmother (woah) of frankie.

below the surface

ju would die for any member of her family. this includes each and every x-man she has ever interacted with. having had her parents murdered, she tries her best to never take the positive influences in her life for granted.

while most of her side effects from being a vampire have faded, some have decided to stick around. for example, she ages slower than the average human and is particularly bothered by sunlight, although it is no longer fatal to her.

even though she proudly advertises herself as Big Gay, she actually identifies as pansexual and has had plenty of other partners in the past. 

possible conections

exes!!! all kinds of exes tbh. exes with an angsty history. exes who she’s become bffs with. exes who are super awkward with her or vice versa. exes from a long ass time ago when she first joined the x-men. just like...all the exes.

shogo. this one is v....specific but like bring a mom her Son pls. 

students she looks on really fondly. ju has a v strong motherly instinct and will try to mom anyone who looks like they’re lacking one.

megan. also v specific but pls bring jubes her lover.

friends. colleagues. etc. other professors at paragon. people she participated in the x-man with. just people she can grab a drink with tbh.
