Shogo was finally asleep in his bassinet in the kitchen under the watchful eye of the Mousehole’s resident Martian. Her knuckles were wrapped. The music was bumping. The lights were set to on, because that, disappointingly, was their only setting other than off in the auxiliary gym. There was tension in the air. 

“Tonight on WWE,” she hollered, holding the boom box on her left shoulder, “It’s the grudge match of the century. Sisters from another mister with a weird old man who united them both in combat and cooperation,” she continued, vamping, “Only to disappear whenever either of them needed him most…..Jubilation ‘Jubilee’ Lee versus Laura ‘X23’ Kinney!”

Fireworks of pink and blue and green crackled around them as she dumped the boombox off to the side. Jubilee grinned at her sparring partner. “Girl, I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of bubblegum.” She held up the back of her hand to her mouth and whispered at Laura. “Don’t worry, babe. Not really out of bubblegum. Just gonna knock your motherfucking socks off.” She tossed a spare piece of gum over for Laura.

Awww all that love right back atcha!

Honestly, given how passionate they both are about Rage, I really doubt it goes away entirely. They’ll probably take an extended hiatus as Justin collects his bearings in NYC, and he’ll probably be really busy trying to break into the art world, but then I definitely think they’d keep on with it. In fact, I can actually see them using Rage as a pretext to keep in touch on a regular basis. They’re good friends by the end of the series, but sometimes when a friend moves away there can be that awkwardness as you’re trying to figure out your norms and how you’ll continue communicating. I can see both of them calling each other up “to discuss this new idea for Rage,” and then just transition into sharing updates on how their lives are going. So ultimately I think fans may have to wait a bit longer between editions, but it’ll continue on!!!
