Innocence Lost II: The Forgotten One
By Didi
Disclaimer: All the characters within this story is owned by Marvel. I take no credit but with the imaginative story line. This is story will hopefully lead to another so stay tuned.
Warning: Were this a movie, it would be rated at least PG-13. I will not be responsible for outraged parents.
Note: This is an alternative timeline so don't go jumping down my throat about stuff that's going on in the comic. It's well before Everett Thomas's death and that's all I'm going to say on the subject of timelines. Any new characters written by me would will noticeable by the complete lack of inventiveness.
**Oh, and this is a sequel so please go read the first part, it's not that long. This will make much more sense to afterwards. Thanks. **
Summery: Sequel to Innocence Lost. Jubilee takes back her life and repays a debt owed. AU. New character introduced.

Her name is Lexi. That much she was sure of. It was short for something, Alexandra or Alexis or something to that extent. What it actually was, she no longer remembers. It's been so long....
How long has it been? She doesn't remember anything clearly now. It's been too long. But a part of her knew that it wasn't right. She remembered thinking of her past only .... Was it days or hours ago? This is so confusing! What was happening to her?
The light, where is the light coming from? There's never been any light in there? Or has there been? She just can't remember. What's happening? Why can't she remember anything?
"Come here, child." The voice sent a chill up her spine. It was dark and cold and produced all kinds of nightmares for her. Yet she doesn't remember why.
Crawling slowly through a small opening, she stepped into the torch lit chamber. The room was not big but it was much more spacious than her little hole in the wall, literally. The sound around her remind her of.... Damn it, what did it remind her of?
"It's time to show me your loyalties." The man's eyes were dark pools of evil. His blue skin glistened in the firelight. "This will allow you to fly for now, once you're located your target, you will bring her back here. Then we shall augment your powers once more." The heavy metal pack weighed down her back and she almost toppled over from the weight of it. "You will return within 72 hours with the girl. Is that clear?"
She had a feeling that this wasn't the first time she's done this before. But she can't remember when or where this all seem familiar to her. Her memory was a big gapping hole in her head. She couldn't remember, couldn't remember anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everett Thomas led a good life. He was smart, athletic, charming, handsome by most standards and never had to endure some of the more awful realities of prejudices in life. He's never had to worry about money, job, or things of that sort. The petty problems of a normal 18-year-old kid had never plagued him before, including the over rout emotions like lust, passion, and jealousy...until now.
By all rights, he couldn't really be jealous of the man named Logan, or more commonly referred to as Wolverine. After all, the man was probably old enough to be.... Hum.... How old is that man? But Everett was deathly afraid that the green eyed-monster that's consumed his soul in the week that the man has been at the Massachusetts Academy was going to make him do something stupid and regrettable.
And all his problems could be laid at the little feet of a certain petite Asian beauty currently trying to take the head off a T-Rex along side of her mentor. Jubilation Lee.
The rest of Generation X were standing in the observation dome, watching the scene underneath them with great interest. Their once squeamish and often childish friend, their youngest member to date, was no longer in residence. In her place was someone that was... different.
"Well, looks like Jubilee's getting her fire back!" Paige Guthrie winced as Jubilee's sais moved like a blur and a trail a blood followed. "In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd swear she's more active now that she had been before the.... incident."
That's what they call it now, the "incident." Jubilee went missing for nearly a month and a half, tortured and experimented upon by Mr. Sinister. She came back with holes in her memory big enough to drive a semi through. The first months were hard, she wake in the middle of the night, screaming in terror but never remembering what it was that frightened her. No one was sure what was worse, not knowing what had been done to her or not be able to help ease the terror that kept her awake every night.
Then Wolverine came to stay with her for a little while, on the pretense of teaching the kids some defense techniques, and everything changed. That was almost two weeks ago. Jubilee was getting her life back with a vengeance.
She trained harder, practiced more and learned from the best there was. Logan spent every waking moment with her for nearly ten days now, doing what she wanted, training her, teaching her, and protecting her. They walked, talked, and acted as they once did, with the ease that came with absolute trust. The only difference was Jubilee wasn't the innocent she had been only weeks before, she was a new person with a new motivation. She had a mission in life now.
To be continued....
