RIP to Jubilee who has to go through class with her chosen brother @dxrkeyes as the sex ed teacher. Bananas? No, he is bringing real dildos (this better not be from you and rogue's private collection!). Mojo come steal her again! Please! Nothing else will save her at this point! By the middle of the term, she is going to try and make him so uncomfortable back! It's the only way to survive this!

That was not the reaction she was hoping for, but what did the mutant expect. It had been two years since Robin had been magically teleported into her bedroom for the strange 'competition' that she and others suspected was on account of Mojo. The mutant had been hounding her on and off ever since, capturing her into a video game to make her an immortal hero, to which she had thankfully escaped.  Access, who could travel between realms, was even more elusive in tracking down but she needed this opportunity. Had to see the boy who she fell in love with, on sight, once more. Life had been hard in her realm. Maybe this had been a bad idea. Who knows what happened to him during that time and it showed a little on those features that were a bit different. His stance, his costume, the only thing that remained the same was his height compared to her own, both clearly not growing anymore as time went on.  Shoulders shifted a bit forward with her self consciousness questioning while a hand went to tug at the yellow sleeve of her rain coat. "Found a mutant who can travel between. Bought a ride here from him to see you." Only him. There was no one else in this entire world she knew and now it seemed stupid to have done. But their chemistry just clicked and it had never been easy like that with anyone else. "I thought… aren't you happy to see me, Robin?" The excitement softened and pulled back from in her tone. Jubilee really had not planned it through, impulsive in her wants and sometimes diving in ‘without checking da water’ as Gambit said.

@billyandhismultiples the kind of shit he would send to her phone. She is very entertained, billy.

[billyandhismultiples]

[Jubes✨]: hey i mean, why not tonight?? are you busy? i aint so might as well chitchat now, yknow? [Jubes✨]: now im curious about what your brain is buzzing about now too! [Jubes✨]: yeesh im gettin into your noggin like a dang gnat buzzin in ya ears, sparky 🦟 im flattered, really [Jubes✨]: third base you say?? whewww ill be over in 8 instead of 15 then 🏃🏃🏃 ... [Jubes✨]: do you like breakfast? pancakes or waffles or french toast? totally irrelevant to the convo btw. totally.

[liteemup]

⋆.˚✮ ✴ ✮˚.⋆ [Dupes ✌︎🫦] haven't heard sparky b4 [Dupes ✌︎🫦] don't get too excited there dups. it's a fat maybe! [Dupes ✌︎🫦] who doesn't love breakfast foods?! im lactose intolerant since we are mentioning it. will that stop me from liking cheese, ha no! [Dupes ✌︎🫦] such a dweeb Billy took ten. She could care less. By the time Billy had got there, Jubilee did not even say hello, just dug fingers into his shirt to yank him to her. Lips to lips, a hand slipping up so she could firmly hold the back of his head in place. Both stumbling, having no choice but to break it so they could find the couch. Now she was underneath him, pinned to the cushions with the weight of his body above her own. Fingers unable to stop rubbing the shaved part of his head as each kiss made her sink deeper and deeper. This was what she needed, to be kissed until she was stupid. To have a normal experience when the world was full of hate against her kind and distrust against his. Here they were just two young adults enjoying making out. When she needed breath, her face tilted to the side just out of reach of his lips, eyes closed while she panted softly trying to catch her breath. "That…" A wheezy laugh was given as she was still trying to inhale air. "Might be a solid 8. Getting there." Teasing about his kissing game.

Face turned back to his, neck extending to continue. Other hand slipped under the back of his shirt to feel his skin. A low whistled sound echoed from behind them as little sparks flickered in and out from that touch to bare skin elsewhere.

[liteemup]

how'd it go with the police? @rcliicta // umprompted

⋆.˚✮ ✴ ✮˚.⋆ In the dim lamp light of the ally, that voice from the dark made her jump. It was the glowing red of those eyes that had relief seep into her features while a hand remained on her chest from the surprised. Little sparks popped around her before fading as they drifted toward the ground. "You scared me, butthead!" Wait. What was he doing here? Spying on her more than likely! She tried to be irritated, crossing her arms over her chest in a huff, but she was happy to see him. "Fiiine!" Said in a rush and disgusted tone because well, she had been chased. So not all the way fine. Point was to not get seen. "They are slower than that sap Meph calls syrup, anyways. Not like they could catch me. I'm an expert." Arms uncrossed so her thumb could point at herself, pride in that stance. "What ya doing here? You spying for Wolvie? That's so lame!" Pointed finger was aimed at his chest now, poking it once lightly.

[billyandhismultiples]

Simply a laugh rolled out at her remark about how people didn’t want to hurt feelings; a little tease that could’ve been taken as an insult by anyone else, but it being her with him, Billy didn’t even think of that as a possibility. Not actually meant as such, and he found it funny and appreciated her joking jabs.

Though a soft shift occurred; maybe it was the alcohol that languidly flowed through his veins, causing him to overthink small looks and movements and words that came from her. The way she shifted towards him, leaned closer, eyes darting to his lips then back to blue hues with intent—he couldn’t really help but have a shiver of anticipation shoot up his spine. Question then posed and the multiplier’s grin tugs wider with mischief as eyes now gaze at her own lips.

"Wouldntchu like ta know?" Voice matched in low tone, tease interwoven within the words as he slowly attempts to close the gap between them as she does—only to be met by her hand clasping against his mouth and kissing the back of it instead.

It startles him, jolts him from his little trance as if awoken from a dream, with brows raising and eyes widening. But after a few seconds of processing her jest, his visage softens again and he chuckles against her hand. She got him good.

Though, of course, two can play at that game.

A clone appears behind Jubilee as she’s facing the original, him sitting on the couch with his chin resting on her shoulder in a playful manner.

"Just cute when charmin’ someone? Not cute all ‘round? Tough crowd, tough crowd." The duplicate snickers before leaning over and pressing a single featherlight peck on the middle of her jawline. Light payback. "Ain’t too bad y’self, Jubes."

[liteemup]

⋆.˚✮ ✴ ✮˚.⋆ The firecracker had seen this happen before a few times, but that had been out there when they were scrapping with the police or humans. She jolted a bit, startled by Billy being in a different location, while his solid face was under her hand still. "Sneak!" Exclaimed, wide smile showing off those pearly teeth. A kiss to that jaw sent shivers over her flesh around it. "Double sneaky!" Not one to let someone top her shenanigins, Jubilee pulled that hand down, grabbing the original Billy's chin before leaning forward and pressing a kiss right against his lips. Full on so he could feel her dry lips. Those eyes closed as her smile pulled those mouths apart. Jubilee backed up to see his face. Did she surprise him?! "I know which of you to kiss." A blush began to flush those cheeks as she remembered his story. This was a better outcome.

[billyandhismultiples]

[Jubes✨]: ohhh, so you're holdin out on me with a more-than-PG, actual finished version then, huh? wowwww. im hurt, jubes 💔 [Jubes✨]: well, guess that means ill just be over your place in like 15 then so we can... discuss 😙 [Jubes✨]: that good?

A pause in his typing as he reads the description sent. Twice. Maaaybe a third time. And maybe his mind began to wander a little bit. Maybe a few chills danced along his spine as the details described ran through his mind a little too thoroughly.

✱ ˚｡⋆ ↪ 𝓣IME WILL TELL ... ( a collection of dialogue prompts originating from syfy's warehouse 13 SEASON 02. adjust phrasing / gendered terms as necessary, mature themes present. will be updated. )

are you getting a vibe?

... so that's how it works.

i've never been so happy to see you.

how could you possibly have survived?

i promised myself i wouldn't cry.

i'd recommend 24 hours isolation from light.

i'll take care of it all.

welcome to the future. let's change it, shall we?

i don't want to watch any more of that.

i know it's hard, NAME, but it's right there in front of us.

innocent people don't run.

looks like something heavy was dragged through here.

this place just gets more interesting every day.

really? that's your first thought?

nothing like a little 'war of the worlds' to put a toddler to sleep.

i'll explain when i get there.

... here? you're coming to LOCATION?

how do you not have jet lag?

no, that'd be like shooting off a big red flare.

there's no reason for me not to get my groove on.

you don't look like much of a threat to me.

i thought you might be trouble, coming in late.

the best place to hide is right out in the open.

i didn't think anyone was still here.

i seem to have left my ITEM here.

why call when i can fly 5,000 miles ... in coach!

i needed to talk to someone who knows me.

do you plan on running for the rest of your life? — because that's what it's going to take to get me off of your back.

i think i can take the risk. don't make me regret it.

will there ever come a time where you do as you are told?

perhaps you'd like to tell me why you're ransacking my home.

i thought english people were supposed to be polite.

don't they all turn on you eventually? men.

you've really held onto some anger.

that explains why my head still hurts.

don't speculate about things of which you know nothing.

the world was a different place.

do all your dates work out this way?

i'll admit it ... i thought she was hot.

in this job, there's no such thing as 'no such thing'.

are you alright? i thought you were supposed to be in the hospital.

you don't remember. you've been having lapses, blackouts.

you tried to kill me.

i can either run or lecture, i can't do both.

when do i get one of those?

do not deviate one iota from what i'm about to tell you.

this place is full of booby traps.

if you're gonna grab me like that, i need some sweet talk.

it should be me driving right now!

all said and done, that wasn't terribly difficult.

so a long way to go for nothing, eh, NAME?

i'm disappointed, but not surprised.

i wanted you to see what i saw.

all this time i thought i knew the truth. i'm sorry, NAME.

if anybody should be shellshocked, it should be me.

you? YOU were the victim?

go easy. we've all been through a lot.

thanks... for coming after me.

okay, why is everyone hugging all the time around here?

you're gonna have to chase me.

how do we navigate once we're in there?

i've been thinking about this for a very long time.

why on earth would you do that?

so NAME... NAME's cute.

we've seen stranger things.

since i knew what to look for, it wasn't hard to find a pattern.

something you'd like to share?

that only makes me more curious.

i appreciate the advice, but can we just get back to work?

just try not to be 12 years old, okay?

NAME? NAME, what's happening?

it just happened, it was like a nightmare. i couldn't help.

i couldn't help, i had to just stand there and watch.

that's easier said than done.

i'm gonna say yes, you're gonna say no, but i'm right.

no, i meant for me. black, no sugar.

i'm here to take your pictures. ready to be beautiful?

what did NAME ever do to you?

relax, NAME, you'll get wrinkles.

it's like a game of gay clue.

explain to me again why i'm doing this and you're cowering 10 feet away.

it's more like a pie - slash - coffee ... summit.

just... you know, be yourself.

i guess i've just had too much caffeine today.

how many of these things can you drink, anyways?

why all the questions about my past?

i was wondering if you had any sisterly advice.

you know, i'm always amazed at the correlation between being beautiful and being a complete bitch.

with one look, i could stop a war. or start one.

when i'm out there, i tear out my soul and offer it up for everyone to see.

sounds to me like you're glad she's dead.

i'm just curious about the people i work with.

i wonder if the next girl will ask what happened to you.

you've got a pretty whacked-out definition of hurt.

they could afford to pay.

they're the good ones, not legal here yet.

you're gonna go home, and you're gonna call in sick.

i couldn't believe it when you finally called.

what kind of advice is 'be yourself'?

are you decent? you know what, screw it, i'm coming in.

don't you dare laugh.

i don't want you to go out there.

what? no fight, no argument?

you don't ever listen to me.

i'm not the pretty one.

i can't say it to the back of your head either.

NAME, you are a stunningly beautiful woman.

wait a minute, i came here to talk you out of it!

you are gonna tell me EVERYTHING.

i hope it hurt, like you've hurt me.

well, can i interest you in ... staying alive?

you've been peddling a second chance at life.

lay off, we might need this guy.

do you doubt that my friend wants to beat you to death?

the doctors say you're doing great.

i'm not giving up on you, don't you give up.

you and i, we're never gonna happen.

everything i did was for you.

how many innocent lives has your vitality cost?

i'm so glad to see you looking like the old you.

you didn't make me a trainwreck.

i hate that, don't use that word– 'cute'.

stop trying to confuse me!

guess how many croissants i shoved into my mouth?

should i have worn something more business suit-ey?

how'd it go with the police?

you would've done something, stayed calm at least. i totally freaked out.

i know what it's like to do good work and no one notices.

you think i'm involved? you're out of your mind.

pressure is good. it makes you win.

you seem kind of new at this.

if i need anything, i'll circle back.

i'm sorry you had to come all the way to LOCATION just for this.

i place myself in your hands.

maybe i'm wrong, but ... are NAME and NAME sitting in a tree?

instinct is just a fancy way of saying i've done this 1,000 times.

human beings are predictable. people rarely surprise you.

it seems we're forever destined to meet at gunpoint.

you are going back to prison.

the brain requires ... oxygen to ... speak.

i'm not a killer.

he would have quite happily killed all of you.

did you just happen to show up?

if you didn't believe me just a little, you would've shot me by now.

he can't find you in here. he hasn't met me yet.

i'm wondering what you're doing messing around with my things.

[billyandhismultiples]

"I know, I know, I know." Repetitively spewed out through a laugh, head thrown back against the couch cushion behind him in giddy fashion. "But what was I gonn' do in front a' everyone and her? Say no? Teenagers are ruthless! Woulda gotten made fun a' the rest a' the night." And with the group he was with during that time, ruthless was an understatement. "Was just kinda hopin' she'd choose the right me. I mean, she had a thirty-three point three, three, three... many three's percent chance, but oh well."

Another grin appeared amongst his features following her bump against him, using his own shoulder to playfully give one in return. "So, yours only kinda counts too, like me. Though it counts more than mine, that's for sure." Hell, a cheek kiss from grandma counts more as a first kiss than the one Billy just told her about.

Brows raise curiously at the next question posed, the upwards tug on the corners of his mouth turning just a bit more sly. "Hmm, well, not ta sound all that but I have been told in the past that Imma pretty good kisser. N' who would I be ta not listen n' take ta heart such nice feedback?" A chuckle as he shifts on the couch, turning his tipsy self fully towards Jubilee with pure amusement dancing in his eyes. "I'm sure ya've gotten the same."

[liteemup]

⋆.˚✮ ✴ ✮˚.⋆ Jubilee gave an eager nod in agreement, kids were ruthless. She was one of them once upon a time (not much had changed). "That's low." Pointer finger angled towards her open mouth as she faked gagging, making the hurl noise. "Math. That's your problem! Basing it all on numbers and not feelings." A sway given when Billy bumped her shoulder back. "Sure sure, we can say it's fifty fifty. Your girl wanted to kiss ya, but didn't, mine may not have wanted to, but did." Like a magnet, her knees shifted toward him too, hands on the couch as rosy cheeks from the heat her body was producing. "Sometimes, people don't wanna hurt feelings." That voice went lower, signaling the tease on that cusp of possible insult. "Sure have." Question was, did she want to prove it? Leaning closer, eyes went to his lips then back to his eyes. "You sayin' ya know how to show a girl a good time, billyboy?" Even closer, hands shifting on that couch. "Maybe we just..." As their breaths were about to mingle, she smacked her hand over his mouth and kissed the back of it, curtly. A giddy laugh given while her hand remained there. "You're cute when charmin' someone."

[billyandhismultiples]

🍻 + “tell me about your first kiss? Any compared since then?” drunken confession || (always accepting) || @liteemup

A long sigh left the mouth of the duplicator; drawn out, exaggerated, since he knew exactly the answer to Jubilee's question.

He was currently hanging half off the couch in his living room with her, somewhat haphazardly upside-down, drink on the coffee table in front of it. Probably not a good idea being in this tipsy, teetering-on-drunk state, especially since the dizziness paired with the blood rushing to his head was making him feel anything but delightful.

"Maaan, this' so embarrassin'." Billy grumbles out as he shifts his tall self right-side back up onto the couch, now sitting like a normal damn person with a huff. "'Cause y'know what, Jubes? I dunno if I can even count it as it bein' m' first kiss 'cause the girl kissed a dang clone, not me!" Saying it out loud, it was funny, and he even let out a chuckle because of it.

"I was like, I dunno, fifteen. Silly-ass game a' truth 'r dare with a duplicatin' twist, her tryina' figure out which one was the real me outta three. 'Course, just like anybody else, she got it wrong, ended up smoochin' a clone instead. But it just so happened that that was technically m' first kiss so..." A dramatic shrug from the multiplier.

"I mean, I kinda felt it when it happened, but it ain't the same, y'know?" A tease of a kiss for him, really, only feeling the ghosting effect as it happens rather than the full physical of it.

"I guess actual first kiss was more typical, was with the first person I got with a few years later. Nothin' crazy, n' yeah, have had better since then. Usually kinda strive for that, y'know?"

[liteemup]

⋆.˚✮ ✴ ✮˚.⋆ "Oh noooooo." Already those eyes squinted, a warning of her on coming laughter. She reached out to touch Billy's shoulder before it bubbled out. Chin tilted just a bit, mouth open with it before she could contain it down a little. "Billy! You set yourself up for that, ya dweeb!" It did sound like a fun game though, if she had that ability it would def be top five. Cheeks were rosy with the heat of that fruity drink in her system. Just on the cusp of tipsy, when everything was funny or she wanted to try and lift herself off the ground with her sparks. "It's a good goal, otherwise people wanna stop kissin' ya." Now that he was sitting upright, she bumped her shoulder against his, making them both rock a little. "My first kiss was a stolen peck. Don't even know if the fella liked me much as I liked him." sighed in thought, the tip of her yellow boot scuffing at the floor before that smile returned. "You sayin' you're a good kisser?"

[liteemup]

"your hands are so much smaller than mine." @billyandhismultiples .ᐟ⋆

The bubble had doubled it's size, held that shape before caving in when Jubilee sucked the air back out of it. All at once, the wad of gum was back in her mouth, pushed against that cheek. "Duh, Imma woman." That did not stop her from extending a hand up into the air, mocking a high five but wanting to compare them despite the call out on it. Except when Billy did it, she curled her fingers down between his to hold fast, letting sparks zap across his skin while colors bursted from their touching palms. A delighted giggle escaping with hopes of catching him off guard.
