Logan looked at Jubilee, "You're a meta-mutant right? So am I... I heal fast." he took another drink of his beer, "No way you just happened to be in that mall, you live there. Where are your parents?"

Jubilee suddenly stopped for a moment then began overly focusing on cleaning up the medical supplies she just finished pulling out. "Oh...I guess you don't need this then."
She sighed and turned away put all the supplies back and looked over her shoulder. "And yeah, I live there...my parents died a little while ago. Please don't call the cops..."

Logan looked at her, "No bring those here, I need them... I may seem fine right now but... the Reavers did more damage to me than I care to admit."
He took the medical supplies from Jubilee and wrapped up his guts and his still open wounds on his arms and legs, "No parents, eh? I know that story. My parents were killed when I was younger than you."

Jubilee moved a little closer to him and watched as he banded himself up. She had kept to herself for the most part in the mall, and she hadn't particularly opened herself up to anyone. "I'm very sorry to hear that...mine were killed by the sentinels."

Dark Claw's mood lessened even beyond his normal brooding, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I didn't stop that."
Logan looked back up at her, "So living on your own... no family then?"

Jubilee shook her head as she helped tighten Dark Claw's bandages and began to clean one of the open wounds. "No family. My parents were immigrants, so I might find some distant relatives if I took the time, but I don't know any Chinese."
She walked over to the box and handed Claw a cigar. "But uh stop it? I doubt anyone really could have...except for the people who actually started the project. Don't blame yourself for it please."
Jubilee sighed. "Trust me, it wont help. I just want to survive."

"I could have stopped it, I was off with the JLA when it happened. I should have been in Gotham," Logan said as he lit the cigar, "But alright, if you want to survive; let's survive."

Jubilee gave him an odd look and just watched him for a moment. She sat up on the counter in the medical wing of his burrow as she fiddled with a pair of tweezers in her hands. "I wish I had done something too Dark Claw. They were just so...overwhelming...so huge. I made some fireworks but it just wasn't enough...and I was running too..."
She started to sniff as it felt like finally at that moment she realized how out of control her life became. Family dead, lived in a mall, and a mutant. Jubilee felt lost.

"Look darling, I'm not the kind of guy who makes offers like this." Logan said simply, "But that mall, it ain't a home for anyone."
He trailed off not completing his statement.

Jubilee looked at him with her jaw dropped. "You mean...stay here...with you?"
She looked around the burrow. "Well as long as I don't have to like...eat rats."

Logan jumped of the medical table and gestured for Jubilee to follow him. He went to a tube and pressed a button, it rose up rapidly over 50 stories until it released into a closet, "I don't live down there. I live up here."
He opened the door to the closet to reveal his penthouse.

Jubilee breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew! Thank god. It's kinda cold down there. But wow this is great! I'll be a good roomie, promise."

"You'll be my ward. Well in a way you'll be my daughter, I'll get LOGAN inc on the paperwork tomorrow." Logan said as he walked into the penthouse, "There are three bedrooms besides this one so you should be fine."
He went to his dresser to find some civilian clothes to wear. He didn't mention at all how his life as Dark Claw would effect her.

Jubilee looked to dark Claw as she felt this swelling emotion inside of her, she appeared as if she was moments away from crying. "You...you really mean that? To take me in like this."
She ran her hands through her hair, and realized how dirty it was. Jubilee flushed a bit embarrassed, she thought she must look like a brightly colored hobo. "Really..thank you Logan."

"I was an orphan once too, kiddo. We've got to stick together." Logan said with a smile, "Shower's through there. I'll see if I got anything you can wear."

Jubilee blushed for a moment, and ran over to Logan and gave him a long and hard hug. She felt the tears well up in her eyes. "This all means a lot to this crazy hobo orphan. I'll somehow make up for all of this one day."

Logan gave he a hug back a bit, "Don't worry about it, darling. You saved my life. Now I'm saving yours. We're square."

Jubilee looked back towards his bedroom at his secretive closet, full of Dark Claw costumes. "Soo...does this mean I'm going to run around in a dorky costume and fight crime?"
She had to stifle a laugh, she broke a few laws while living at the mall.

Logan raised an eyebrow, he hadn't considered that part of this, "Well, not if you didn't want to. And not without the right training."
He chuckled a bit himself, "So what do you think, darling? Want to run around with the legend of New Gotham City?"

Jubilee thought long and hard, and obnoxiously said "Hmm..."
She snapped her fingers and grinned. "Yeah! But only if I can be called Death Urge Overdrive."
