Jubilee has posed:
Having been out earlier with some of the team, Jubilee did a quick check up on Lorna, then found herself rummaging in the fridge within the teacher's lounge. She is hunched over the fridge, digging, digging, until, "Yes!" She tugs out a jar of peanut butter which appears to have a honey flavor to it, then ambles over to the cupboard to fish out some chocolate candy bars for dipping. Humming to herself, she hops up on the counter, unscrews the lid, then begins to unwrap a Snickers. "You earned this trip to the Dentist, Jubes. You blew up a mutant hating robot. That's pretty big time there. Maybe I should call myself Meltdown.." She trails off. "... Naaaaah." Amused, she takes a bite of her sweet, then sighs dramatically. "Mmmf."

Colossus has posed:
Piotr has been back for a few days now, but hasn't had a chance to bump into everyone yet. He left not long after him and Kitty broke up, but made it clear he would be back once he could 'find himself again'. Here he is.

The big man makes his way through the door and is heading towards the kitchen. He's clearly been working out in the garden, as he often does. Grass-stained jeans and a sleeveless shirt, and battered boots make up the big man's outfit. He pauses to turn and head to the sink to wash the grass off his hands when he spots the girl. He smiles widely.

"Jubilee, little one. So good to see you again," he offers in his pleasantly deep, accented voice.

Jubilee has posed:
Glancing up towards him mid-bite of a candy bar, Jubilee's eyes widen. She chomps, bites, chewchews, then swallows. "Petey! Holy cannoli!" She slides off the counter and darts forward, throwing her arms about him in a firm hug. "Wow! Long time no see! I heard rumors you may be back. You look great. How are you doing? Everything cool?" She takes note of the grass stains, and sniff-sniff, the smell of outdoorsy dude working in a garden. "Oof. You need a shower." She says with a laugh.

Colossus has posed:
He wraps a muscled arm around her slender form and laughs softly before he nods. "I do, I do. I was checking up on the flowers after being gone." Piotr flashes her a smile, before he gives her choice in snack a brief, critical glance. He then turns to wash his hands in the sink. "I just needed a snack before I went and took one. It's great to see you, Jubilee. You are looking great, of course."

Jubilee has posed:
"Of course. I always look great. I'm pretty much a rock star. Well.. guidance counselor actually. Both Ki--.." Jubilee pauses. "Err---, for kids. You know, the students here. They tell me their problems, I listen intently and give them very mature and life changing advice and feedback." She nods her head, then nudges him a candy bar and the peanut butter. "So how is the garden these days? Still full of flowers and colorful and all that stuff? I haven't been out there in awhile."

Colossus has posed:
"You do," he states in response to her 'always look great' comment. He finishes washing his hands and grabs a towelette to dry them before he turns back towards her. He smiles but shakes his head at the offer of candy. "Thank you, but I might make a sandwich or grab some left-over chicken from the fridge." His accent is not as thick as it once was, but it is certainly notable. His brow furrows softly at the redirection from Kitty's name, but then he smiles softly. "It's good. Needs a little love, but...I can give it that."

Jubilee has posed:
"Or it could use water, sunshine and fertilizer big guy." Jubilee screws the lid of the peanut butter back on, then angles for the fridge to stick it back inside. She puts the last two candy bars away, now suddenly feeling a bit foolish for eating like a third grader in front of her teammate. "So, hey, you hit up Scooter and Jean yet? I know they will be happy to have their heavy hitter back on the team, and Logan is always complaining about how no one has thrown him around in awhile at a bad guy. Lots of work to do."

Colossus has posed:
He smiles and chuckles at that. I's a deep, lovely sound. "Well, sure. But it can get both, can it not?" He nods a bit at her question, leaning back against the counter and crossing his arms over his muscled chest. "I reached out, yes. They know I am back. I'll be picking up my classes again soon to teach art, and begin training again as soon as possible..."

Jubilee has posed:
"Groovy." Jubilee says as she leans against the wall, staring out the window for a bit. "It's like the A-Team is back. So is Kurt by the way. He's been bouncing around here and there. Um.. there's Rogue, Logan.. me of course.. Jeany, Scott... Bobby... Kitty.." She says the last name softer, and a mumble, "Oh and Lorna is here too, though she's not like official, but she's kiiinda a princess."

Colossus has posed:
The big man nods to all of that as he gets a glass of water from the faucet in the fridge. "Well, I am happy to hear all of that. How have you been, little one?" His use of the word is never said in a demeaning tone. Loving, perhaps. Warm. He turns back towards Jubilee as he takes a sip of his water.

Jubilee has posed:
"Not bad, tin man. Just busy with the kids mostly, and whatever side mission Scooter will rope me in on. He's been inviting me on more of them, so I'm assuming I've impressed him. Feels good to get out there with the team too and not just duck and hide." Jubilee grins over towards him. "Besides that? My life is boring. FYI, Bobby been on a pranking thing lately so he may freeze your boxers or something and use them as place mats. I don't know.'

Colossus has posed:
He blinks at that and then laughs. "It is good to know that...not everything changes, I suppose." He rolls a big shoulder and takes another sip of his water. The big man briefly finds his gaze dipping over Jubilee, and she might notice it as well. He turns aside, though, realising it.

Jubilee has posed:
"Well, I don't think he'll ever change. He's kinda in a weird spot. He could use a big brother about to straighten him up. Though good luck if you take on that challenge." Jubilee gives an amused chortle as she props herself up with a foot behind her, resting against the wall, then folds her arms over her chest. "So, what were you up to? Back home, right? Tell me some stories! What'd you all do?"

Colossus has posed:
Colossus hears that first part and considers it for a long moment. "I will seek him out soon," he says after a moment. "See if he needs my help. I am happy to lend it." He shakes his head, then, and turns back towards her. "I went home, but...I only spent a week there. After that I hiked across France, actually. I worked at a few small farms along the way. Nothing...really interesting..."

Jubilee has posed:
"Uh.. you went to /France/ and hung out with cows. That's pretty interesting Petey. So, what did you do out there? Just work? Didn't get married to a French lady did you? Cuz' if you need help with the language, I'm sure Remy's tongue can be good for something besides kissing." Obviously swamp rat has a reputation. Jubilee looks amused. She's on fire with the zingers today.

Colossus has posed:
He grins at that and shrugs. "I did not get married to a French lady, no. I haven't been with a -..." He trails off at that and immediatly changes the subject. "I know French, but thank you, little one."

Jubilee has posed:
Brows raising upwards, Jubilee gives him a wry grin. "If it makes ya' feel better, Russkie, I haven't been with a French lady either." She is all jokes today it seems. "I tried French once and it was terrible. My Chinese tongue is not built for such complicated flowery words of snobbery. I'm way too American for that."
