Jubilee solo book where she’s trying to find her place in things away from the X-Men (but not too far away, there will always be appearances) and it deals a lot with grey areas and finding hope in less than stellar situations. And also raising a baby who is approaching toddler age. And Mystique as a recurring character who has motives no one can figure out at first. Is she the villain? Is she something else? Why is she so interested in Jubilee? She doesn’t even attack her, just keeps popping in to check on her, nudge her along maybe, instill some healthy paranoia of “okay mystique, wtf do you want from me?” and just... can I petition Marvel for this? Can I WRITE this for Marvel?

[ as always, something shifts behind her ribcage on meeting this other, this nameless one.

something shifts and pulls and warmth spreads throughout, a genuine pleasure at seeing a familiar face.

this time, however, she’s facing her with a face much different to her usual. disappointment nips at her heels at having to hide herself from someone she so obviously wants to greet. ]
