The Nexus

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Jubilee glanced over her shoulder as she quickly stuffed a blue silk shirt into her backpack, along with some jeans and makeup. She knew the others wouldn’t be back for at least a little while longer but you couldn’t be too careful. She’d wanted to check out that new club for ages and considering you had to be eighteen and over to get in, and she was currently only seventeen, she hadn’t been able to think of a way to do it without someone saying no.

So, sneaking out seemed the best bet, and the best way of sneaking off was in plain sight. She’d mentioned wanting to be alone to work on her Christmas surprise, and how she might be gone awhile.

Of course, she’d actually have to think of a Christmas surprise if she didn’t want to get caught out later, but there was still time for that.

In the mean time, she had a fake ID to try out and a club to try it out in. Hefting the backpack onto her back, she walked out the door, singing Christmas carols under her breath.

Later...

She’d made it out of the school grounds; with a bit of cross country work and having scaled the wall that surrounded the place, she was standing on the road leading into town. At first she’d pondered hitch-hiking but had then realised even if she could protect herself against weirdoes, the press heat the town would get from a 'Mutant attack' wouldn’t be great. So, instead she was going to rollerblade into town, it might take a little longer but it had been ages since she’d had a chance to blade. Putting on her blades, she looked down the road towards the town, that club wouldn’t know what hit it.
