we should be legendary
It was gone.
Jubilee stared in disbelief at the wreckage of the Chinese food restaurant before her- and somewhere in that wreckage, was her apartment. She released a heavy sign, wincing as the expulsion of breath aggravated her slowly healing ribs. Now, not everything she'd owned was in that apartment, but most of it was.
Thankfully, most of her most precious belongings were either in a safety deposit box or in her room back at the mansion, but many pictures and little gifts from friends through the years were probably lost. She barely heard what the police officer at her side was saying, something about them contacting her if anything was able to be salvaged.
Jubilee nodded vaguely before turning away, ignoring the officer asking if she was alright. She couldn't have answered the question anyway. She didn't know. Yes, she was alive. Yes, she's healing. Yes, she can go back to Xavier's with no problem. She'd gotten lucky.
She wandered around, not really sure exactly where she was going to end up, observing the destruction left by the invasion. Piles of rubble and pieces of broken glass littered the sidewalk, and all around were people from all walks of life, helping each other clear the mess as much as she could.
She turned a corner, her eyes glancing from face to face, hoping to spot someone familiar. Her prayers were answered when she spotted a large, strong, orange man hauling immense chunks of stone and plaster over his shoulders and into a truck. Jubilee watched him for a moment. Ben looked fine, but honestly how could she tell? She walked up to him slowly, waiting for him to drop the mess he was holding before placing a hand on his arm.
"Hey," she murmured with a small smile, lacking her usual exuberance. "Can I do anything?"
