EVEN SHE DOESN'T have the heart to tell her than whatever she was planning is most certainly over. it didn’t even stand a chance of getting off the ground. stopping again she looks over her shoulder lazily, one eyebrow lifting as she clears her throat. at this point it’s like being tailed by a stray animal. 

         —– that’s not an answer. that’s a sound

if she had less time this wouldn’t be an option. but for now she  humours her – stopping in her tracks to look down at the girl; who’s eyes grow wide for a moment. tipping her head, elektra begs an answer – or at least properly formed words

Image

IT’S VERY FLATTERING of Elektra to assume that Jubilee had actually been planning something rather than her poor fragile heart simply being overwhelmed by her presence and all that it entailed. Still, a need for a meal is a need for a meal. She’s been hanging around the area long enough for a target to have sprung to mind.

       —– yes, ma’am. sorry, ma’am.  but you can help me. 

shoulders squaring, tone smoothing out the frayed, rough edges as she channels the adults who had shaped her, jubilee withdraws a photograph from her pocket of a man in an exquisitely tailored suit and a shark’s grin, offering it to the other woman, her voice strong.

 —– i think we’re looking for the same person.

‘  –ENOUGH! you can’t know anything about the future!

despite her average height, she always seemed a little bit taller than she really was. the cloak added mass to her that wasn’t there, broad shoulders contributing to the statuesque nature of her frame. it was only heightened by how she looked down at her younger counter part.

‘  –now if you are done fawning…

image

‘  –I know you are, but what am I?

wow, she got o l d in the future. like, a distinguished, sexy, Tom Selleck kind of old, but all the authoritarian stuff was harshing her buzz. christ. not even cyke was like this on a bad day, even when the team would collectively ‘forget’ to set their alarms after partying the night away out at harry’s. what kind of stick did the future shove up her future self’s butt? 

‘  –don’t flatter yourself. i’m jus’ here to see if we’ve got jetpacks an’ flying cars.

‘ –yeah sure, whatever you say kid. you up shit creek too? i mean, not that i mind a change of scenery but this place is seriously boretown. i’m from limbo, shit gets real there. fam? what? man all these people acting like they know me, i’ve never seen them in my life.

‘ –ii said team, dumbass, are you deaf? of course they’re not my family. they’re the team. older an’ not obligated to help me.  i’ve been on my own for four dimensions now an’ fought off versions of them who weren’t all there. believe me, this place is a walk in the park. i’m jus’ glad to get some air.

Evening Post: August 12, 1899. “She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in a scientific fashion…” I would love to know what this means.

I think that might be code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”.

it is absolutely code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”

As is the case with boxing, it most likely means that she was precise and methodical. So, yes. She punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy.
