It had been over a month since Jubilee had vanished. Wolverine sat at the mansion, sulking. He had tried to follow all his leads, and came up with nothing. He was watching a movie, but not really watching it, when the doorbell rang. Maybe it was Jubilee. Maybe someone had information. He was up in a flash, and ran for the door.

When he opened the door, his mouth dropped open in shock. There stood a beautiful young girl, older than Jubilee, perhaps seventeen or eighteen years old. She was covered in dirt and blood, but that wasn¡¦t what shocked him. What shocked him was her hair and eyes. They were both an amazing color. Or colors, rather. In a sort of tie-dyed pattern of pink, yellow, blue and purple. As she looked in his eyes, he noticed the colors were shifting around.

She fixed her intense gaze on him, making him very uncomfortable. She opened her mouth.

¡¦Wolverine?¡¦ she weakly whispered. She then collapsed.

Logan lurched forward to catch her. He then carried her back inside the mansion and shut the door.

Once inside, he shouted, ¡¦ORORO! ROGUE! GET DOWN HERE, NOW!¡¦

Ororo and Rogue ran down the stairs, followed by Remy. They took one look at the girl in Logan¡¦s arms and their mouths dropped open.

¡¦What the-?¡¦ Rogue said, looking at the girl¡¦s torn khaki¡¦s and shirt, now stained with mud and blood.

¡¦She doesn¡¦t appear to be hurt, thank the goddess¡¦ Ororo said.

¡¦Why, look at dis hair. The petite got some mighty colorful shades¡¦ Remy said with a mixture of awe and shock.

Logan laid her down on the couch. ¡¦She knew who I was. She asked for me by Wolverine. You guys don¡¦t suppose she may know Jubilee, do ya?¡¦

Remy shrugged. ¡¦Could be.¡¦

Ororo left the room, in search of Beast, while Rogue looked at the sleeping girl.

¡¦That¡¦s some right purty hair she¡¦s got there, huh?¡¦ She sighed.

¡¦Oui, right purty face she got there too.¡¦ Gambit said.

Rogue cleared her throat and Gambit looked at her sheepishly. ¡¦Sorry, Chere.¡¦

Logan looked at the sleeping girl and had to agree. Even underneath that mud and blood, her features were strikingly beautiful.

¡¦Well, show me to the patient, Ororo.¡¦ Beast could be heard coming down the hall. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the girl. ¡¦Oh, my stars and garters. Her hair-¡¦

¡¦Yeah, Hank, it¡¦s nice. Now, this girl needs our help.¡¦ Logan said, picking up the girl and carried her to MedLab.

Jubilee sat in the metal room crying. She didn¡¦t know where Regan was, if she had even survived. If so, did she find the mansion, or what? She hated Sabertooth with an even more fierce passion than before. She hated him for taking her, for trying to bait Wolvie, and for using HIS OWN SISTER as a lab rat. Her head throbbed. It was the new inhibitor that Creed had placed in her head.

¡¦Try to carve this one out, I dare ya.¡¦ He had said to her. She, in reply called him a name that would have made Logan blush.

She felt fresh tears coming to her blue eyes, and she blinked them back. She wouldn¡¦t give that bastard the satisfaction of making her cry.

The door swung open and Creed sauntered in. ¡¦Well, hello, frail. Howya doing? How¡¦s my little bait?¡¦

Jubilee waited until his face was right in front of hers, and she spit in his nasty face. He roared in anger and slapped her as hard as he could. As her head hit the wall, Jubilee winced. Right before she blacked out she muttered to herself, ¡¦Wolvie.......Regan......¡¦

***

Regan¡¦s eyes fluttered open. The last thing she remembered was a short, square looking man open the door and look at her. She lifted her head and saw the same man sitting next to her bed. He was leaning a chair against the wall and his eyes were closed. He was snoring. She exhaled in relief that she had made it, and his eyes fluttered open.

¡¦You ok, Darlin¡¦?¡¦ he asked.

¡¦I¡¦m fine. Let me guess. You¡¦re Wolverine?¡¦ Logan nodded. Regan sighed with relief. ¡¦You look the way Jubilee described you.¡¦ she continued.

At the mention of Jubilee¡¦s name, Logan¡¦s head popped up. ¡¦You know Jubilee? How is she? Is she alive? Is she hurt? That sonofabitch had better not of hurt her or I¡¦ll...¡¦ He looked up to see the girl crying.

¡¦Oh, I¡¦m sorry. Yeah, my name is Wolverine. Well, the real name¡¦s Logan, Wolverine¡¦s kind of a code name, ya know? But, almost everyone calls me Wolverine.¡¦ He cursed himself silently for being so nervous in front of this girl. He blushed and held out his hand.

¡¦My name is Regan. Everyone calls me Regan.¡¦ She smiled and shook his large hand. So large, in fact, his hand practically swallowed hers.

¡¦So, are you Jubilee¡¦s age? I mean,¡¦ He blushed again. Damnit. ¡¦you don¡¦t look a day over eighteen.¡¦

¡¦Well, actually,¡¦ Regan said, smiling. ¡¦I am a day over eighteen. Two weeks, in fact.¡¦

Logan just looked at her. She was even more beautiful when she smiled.

Regan continued. ¡¦Jubilee sent me here to come and find you. My brother, Sabertooth, had her hostage, and....¡¦

*Shinkt!*

Regan looked in surprise as three claws came out of each of Logan¡¦s hands.

¡¦Your brother? Creed is your brother? What are you, some kinda spy?¡¦ Logan said.

¡¦NO! It¡¦s nothing like that. I¡¦m trying to-¡¦ Regan tried to explain, but Logan cut her off.

¡¦NO FAMILY OF CREED¡¦S IS WELCOME HERE!¡¦ He then ran across the room, charging toward the young girl.

Regan raised a hand, her eyes flashing brightly, and Logan felt himself stop short. He then felt his claws sink back into his hands. The young girl then managed to lift him up into the air. As she lifted him, he noticed a thin trickle of blood start from her nose. She threw him against the wall, then collapsed. Logan stood up and shook himself. What just happened? This little kid had managed to pick him up. He stormed out of the room, stomping past Remy, who was going to visit the young girl.

As Remy went into the room, he noticed the girl struggling to sit up. As his crimson eyes met her rainbow ones, he noticed they were extremely bright, even more brighter than they were when he first saw her. She looked into his eyes and cried. That little ¡¦incident¡¦ with Logan left her exhausted, physically and mentally.

Remy walked across the room and hugged her. She cried hysterically into his chest as if it would never stop.

¡¦Dere, Chere, it will be ok. You tell Gambit what¡¦s botherin¡¦ ya.¡¦ He said, soothing her cries.

She sobbed, ¡¦I...told him I was Sabretooth¡¦s sister, and he tried to kill me. If I hadn¡¦t picked him up with my powers.....¡¦

¡¦Den, Gambit would have arrived and saved you. It¡¦s ok, petite, Gambit is here for you.¡¦ A wry smile then crossed his face. ¡¦So, you picked Logan up, eh? I would have given anything to have seen dat one.¡¦

Regan smiled and pulled away from the Cajun. ¡¦So, do you have any idea where I can get some clothes? I wanna get out of this nasty hospital gown. Then, we have figure out the best way to help Jubilee.¡¦

Down in the MedLab, Beast was looking at samples taken from Regan Creed. He looked at each of the test tubes under a microscope. When he got to the last slide, he sucked in air in a sharp hiss.

¡¦Oh my stars and garters.¡¦ He muttered.

***

Inside her small metal room, Jubilee was going insane. She jumped around, kicking walls and doors. Her pafs may have beeen gone, but her kicks and punches weren¡¦t. She flipped her bed over, and in a fit of rage, began to kick it. She stopped as soon as she heard Sabertooth coming down the hall.

She turned the bed over and sat on top of it. Let that hairy bastard come in here, she thought. I¡¦ll kill him.

¡¦Hello, my sweet frail. I¡¦m home. Show me what you-¡¦ Creed¡¦s words were cut off as Jubilee¡¦s foot connected-hard-with his ribs. Before he could say anything, Jubilee unleashed a bunch of punches to his face. She was going in for the knock-out when he grabbed her hand and yanked it upward.

Jubilee screamed as she heard the bones in her hand break. The pain threatened to knock her out. She began to see black spots, but snapped herself back. She wouldn¡¦t give up. That was weak. Instead she started kicking Sabertooth quickly. He then grabbed her foot and threw her on the bed. The headboard connected with her lower back and she saw spots. This time, she did let unconsciousness come. God, please let Wolvie come soon, she thought. I can¡¦t take much more of.....Everything went black.

Regan sat on the couch, telling her story. She looked at everyone as she told it. Gambit and Rogue had identical looks of shock and fear on their faces. Scott looked confused. Jean looked like she had bitten into something sour. Beast was listening attentively. Logan was the only one not meeting her eyes. He kept sheathing and un-sheathing his claws, and cursing under his breath.

When she finished the story, the professor, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, opened them and looked at her. ¡¦Well, I think we¡¦ve all had an exciting day. I say we all go to bed. I must talk with all X Men in the morning.¡¦ With that, his hoverchair left the room.

Regan stood up, stretching. The light blue shirt and the dark red skirt that Rogue had given her fit perfectly. She decided to go for a walk when she felt someone grab her arm. She looked down and saw Logan looking at her.

¡¦Darlin...I¡¦m sorry...I had no idea...¡¦ He couldn¡¦t finish. He looked into her rainbow eyes and felt his heart race. He cleared his throat and walked away.

Regan watched as he left, disappointed. She sighed, and walked out the front door.

Logan sat upstairs, the framed photo of he and Jubilee, along with her stuffed bear lying on his dresser. He looked at the picture and began to laugh. He could almost hear the events in his head. Jubilee begging to go higher, higher, higher, and laughing louder and louder. He sighed aloud and wasn¡¦t surprised when he felt the tears coming. He lay on the bed and tried to go to sleep.

Regan, walking along the mansion, looked around and took in her surroundings. She realized that she was out of place here, no matter what Gambit, Rogue, or any of the others said. She knew what she had to do. She ran upstairs to pack a bag. She would leave a note for the others, telling them where to find Jubilee. She was upstairs packing when she winced at the sudden pain in her head. She began to cry as the pain grew more intense. She felt the blood began to trickle out her nose. Suddenly, she heard Jubilee.

*REGAN! REGAN! HELP ME!! PLEASE!! OH GOD!*

Jubilee, hang on. We¡¦re coming.

BRING WOLVIE, PLEASE!

Yeah, I¡¦m going to get him right now.

Regan didn¡¦t hesitate. Grabbing her bag of clothes, she ran to Logan¡¦s room at break-neck speed. Bursting through the door, she watched as he snapped his head up and unsheathed his claws. She screamed, ¡¦LOGAN! GOD, WE HAVE TO GO NOW! HE¡¦S HURTING JUBILEE!¡¦

Logan took one look at her and knew she wasn¡¦t goofing around. He put his claws back, jumped out of bed, put on some clothes, threw some clothes in a bag, grabbed Regan and ran downstairs to his bike. He threw a helmet at Regan which she put on and jumped behind him on the bike. Then they shot out of the mansion, at breakneck speed, heading for Creed.

***

Back at the mansion, Xavier and Beast watched them go. Beast sighed and looked at them on the motorcycle. ¡¦Well, I guess it was unnecessary to try to persuade them otherwise.¡¦

Xavier looked at them and replied, ¡¦Wouldn¡¦t have worked. You know the relationship between Logan and Jubilee. Now, Henry, what did you have to tell me about that girl?¡¦

¡¦Well, Charles, when I ran the test on her, I took the liberty of running a CAT scan on her. You know, looking for and head damage from her incidents with Creed. Upon examining the results, I noticed a growth on her brain. Blood tests confirmed it. Young Regan has a brain tumor. It can be operated on, but whenever she uses her powers, as she did with Logan today, the cancer growth accelerates greatly.¡¦

¡¦Henry, does she know about this?¡¦

Beast cleared his throat. Yes, I told her after the incident with Logan. She understood, and said she would refrain from using her powers.¡¦

Xavier sighed and looked out the window. ¡¦I hope she does, Henry, I hope she does.¡¦
