Sometimes, a girl needs a friend...

Who: [personal profile] thelittlestbub and [personal profile] family_remains
When: Night, March 27th
Where: A hotel in Sector 5
Summary: Jubes and Sam have a meet up.
Warnings: Discussion of torture, issues and a girl crying... a lot.

Abby Howlett. If Logan heard her using that name, he'd smack her in the head.

Of course, if she had Logan, she wouldn't be sitting in a hotel, waiting for Sam to show up. Instead, she would have curled up in his lap and become thirteen again a long time ago.

But she couldn't. Because there were frost giants on the front lawn, and god knew what Deadpool was up to. She knew Kenzo was trying to understand but he just... he just didn't have the background.

The little she knew of Sam's life, though? That might be close enough and God, she just wanted someone...

She was pacing around the room, agitated and she knew that she'd start sparking if she wasn't careful. When someone knocked on the door, Jubilee jumped and popped off. Taking several seconds to calm herself down, she slipped open the door a crack.

"Sam." She let it out on a rush. "C'mon in." Jubilee went back to pacing and picked up a beer, wringing it in her hands. "I... thanks. I know you were kinda layin' low. I appreciate it."

"Don't worry about it," He answered, coming in and latching the door behind them. "you've done the same for me."

Sam wasn't sure why she decided to call on him but he was kind of glad she did. He'd been missing his friends lately, feeling isolated and skittish when it came to approaching anyone remotely involved in his crash and burn last month.

He hadn't seen any other option but to go off radar, either. He needed time to air out and think. This was a second chance he couldn't afford to screw up and it was time to do some serious soul searching.

So he'd locked his NV in a box and gotten a job as a farm hand in sector 7. Occasionally lurking on the network to make sure his friends and family were still alive and well.

But Jubilee was in a bad way. And she was still his friend for some weird reason, so he didn't hesitate to come to her side.

"What's going on?"

Woah...

He had to take a moment to process all of that. He fixed her a concerned look before taking a step closer and beckoning for her to come there so he could envelop her in a good, solid hug.

"Listen, you'll be okay. None of this is your fault." He murmured into the top of her head like a mantra.

Sam could feel his heart break for Jubilee. He stayed quiet, holding her against his chest, lightly stroking her hair. This was about how she was feeling, not his opinion of the situation, and he was going to keep it like that.

That that he had much of an opinion. He hadn't really sat down to form one. But he knew his friend had somehow been wedged between a rock and a damn hard place.

"It was never your job to keep him happy, Jubilee." Sam said, keeping his voice soft and careful.

"And nothing he's done is your fault. You can't hold on to that guilt. Believe me, it'll kill you." That sense of duty, the blind need to do her job and protect everyone, even if it meant sacrificing herself. He was far too familiar with the concept. And he knew what it could do to someone.

He felt for her, really. He knew what it was like to be in an impossible situation. He knew what it was like to be blind sided by someone you trust, or to have made a decision only because you had felt you had no other option and come to find you were suddenly alone. And so he stayed quiet, letting her pour it all out.

She didn't need him to say anything, because what could he say? She just needed someone to be there, to hear her side, to understand how impossibly trapped she felt. And he did, only breaking silence to offer a small "shh shh" now and then.

This whole thing with Magneto was screwed to Hell without a doubt. Sam could barely believe it when Cas told him, but it was definitely true. There was just something not quite right with the idea of Michael on the fritz cooped up with two less than sane angels. No telling what they could get him to believe.

Then, finally,

"Do you know how all this started?"

"Yeah, probably." He answered quietly, holding Jubilee's weeping form against his chest as he mulled over what she'd said. It was, in a single word, a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Then, finally..

"Castiel said the you changed the wards on the house." To let Lucifer in, went the unspoken end of that sentence.

An small probe into the gravity of the situation as Sam considered just how familiar Jubilee seemed with Magneto. Working with him to stall a war was one thing, but she was using nicknames. So that meant there was more. Right?
