A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

A Jubilant Bridesmaid

—-Sam—-

When Mary comes in she becomes a little bit defensive over me. Jubilee follows her in, this isn't very surprising if the professor told her I was upset she probably wants to make sure I'm alright.

"Why did you make her do that?!"

Luckily I can rest assured that the professor knows Mary doesn't mean to be disrespectful or anything she's just worried. She scoots into the cushioned seat with me and hugs me.

"Sam are you ok?"

Seeing her now after my dream last night strikes an unexpected swell of emotion from me. It's enough to calm my anxiety a good amount. I hug her too.

"Yeah... I- I am now."

I manage a small smile as she pulls away slightly to see my face.

"Why did you call last night?"

My smile disappears and Jubilee who's now sitting in the chair opposite me looks at us in curiousness. The professor's expression becomes concerned as images from my dream flood into my memory.

"I had a bad dream that you were in."

This is all the information I want to divulge at the moment.

"Oh Sam I'm so sorry. Well remember you can come over here any time even if it's the middle of the night ok? You're more important to me than sleep."

I sigh and kinda give up on trying to reassure my sister, mentor, and friend that I'm fine. I nod slightly and let myself lean on her. I hold my hand out for Jubes too. She takes my hand. I let myself relax and focus on steadying my breathing. Finally I've gotten back to a steady rhythm and take a deep breath as I pull away my panic attack now passed. Jubilee looks at me hesitantly.

"Sam...?"

"Yeah?"

"Has this been happening to you a lot since everything happened?"

She sounds so worried like she feels guilty for not noticing how bad and frequent my attacks were before.

"It's not so bad anymore... I used to get them every other day but now it's usually less than once a week."

"Sam..."

She goes quiet something that hardly ever happens. She hugs me remaining silent seeming to know that words can't exactly fix what's broken. I smile as she pulls away and I laugh softly. She looks confused.

"What?"

"You're just so quiet."

"Yeah well... don't get used to it."

My smile becomes a little bigger remembering part of the reason I came home in the first place.

"Jubes... I want you to be one of my bridesmaids."

She beams at this.

"Really?!"

She starts excitedly asking questions about everything I tell her details aren't up to me but she's so excited about it that she goes on blathering about it even after we decide to get some breakfast in the cafeteria. I wave to the professor as I leave. 'I hope you got what you needed.'

'I believe I may have I'm going to share what I've learned with Hank and Forge so they can look into the matter.'

I smile. 'Thank you.' He smiles back and I head off to 'breakfast'

I spend the rest of my visit by having a danger room session with Laura and Kurt, visiting the garden where I talk with Storm for a while, and boolin' around in the common room for a bit. I can't think of any other X-men to make my bridesmaids so around lunchtime I grab some pizza slices from the cafeteria and text Thor to pick me up before peacing out.
