===Early Life===

When the trio left the mall via a portal, Jubilee went through and discovered them living in a temporary base in Australia, and started to secretly hide there despite the mutant Gateway knowing of her presence. The X-Men would leave the base as the Reavers started to establish themselves there, and Jubilee discovered Wolverine hanged on a cross left to die. After nursing him back to health, Jubilee and Wolverine traveled to Hong Kong where they fought against the Hand. Once they dealt with the Hand, Jubilee returned to the United States with Wolverine and Psylocke (whom was previously brainwashed by the Mandarin) and became a member of the X-Men, but her teammates often worried of putting her in danger.
Despite her age, Jubilee proved herself to be a useful member of the team after dealing with Omega Red, the Brood and the Skrulls, and developed a father-daughter like relationship with Wolverine. During her stay at the X-Mansion, Jubilee became friends with Illyana Rasputina and Kitty Pryde, and mourned Illyana's passing alongside her brother Piotr.
