The Bet

This takes places in the sanctuary universe. It is mostly a Zimmerman and Ashley Magnus story. With a dab of other people of the sanctuary of old city and some of the five.

Some of the story chapters have been changed, some I have removed all together. I hope you Like this new version of the story.

When the nubbin Ashley had taken to her nubbin tried to keep Will back by peeing on his shirt, forcing him to remove it. So she could dry off his chest and abs. His chest and abs where harder and firmer than she thought possible. Than she found him a shirt that fit him perfectly.

'If he was hiding those muscles. Than what else was he hiding.' Ashley thought to herself.

So she challenged Will to go one on one in the ring with her. If he could last five minutes in the ring with her. She would go out anywhere, anytime with him.

When he said yes and she smiled to herself. Because she knew she would never have to pay up.

When the abnormals and people of the old city sanctuary found out about the bet between Ashley and William. Soon their where side bets going on. Some on how fast she would knock him out. Some about how long before he though in the towel. But only Henry bet on Will.

Henry bet that not only would Will defeat Ashley, but he would knock her out before the five minutes where up. And he would take on all bets. Everyone in the sanctuary thought this was easy money.

Even Tesla and Druitt where getting in on the action. They laughed and joked with each other in the library. Tesla with his wine and Druitt with his whiskey.

"Did you know that Henry is just giving his money away? He betting not only will William knock out Ashley but with five minutes to.


Dr. Helen Magnus was sitting at her desk in her office when the phone rang. "Hello Helen?" One of heads of household asked.

"Yes Delcan." Helen said.

"What are the odds on the Ashley/Will fight?"

Magnus just stared at the phone as if it was a snake. Then hit end call and slammed the phone down. She got up and went to the library to talk to Druitt and Tesla.

The library door slammed open. "Druitt, How long have you know about the Ashley/Will fight?"

"A short time now." Druitt said.

"How did you find out?" Tesla asked.

"The Head of the house in england called to find out about the odds on the Ashley/Will fight." She answered Tesla.

Druitt and Tesla look at each other than burst out laughing.

Magnus looked at them than sighed and left the library.

Druitt joked to Tesla that Will did not stand a chance against his daughter.


The day of the fight a ring had been setup in the main gym of the old city sanctuary. Most of the sanctuary had shown up to cheer Ashley on to victory. Some to see how fast she would knock out Druitt and Tesla where their to cheer her on.

As Ashley entered, almost everyone cheered for her. She walked down the center aisle like she own the place to the ring. Then ducked under the ropes into the ring. She wasted no time in walking around the the ring with arms above her head and hands clasped in victory. As if the match was all ready a for gone this sign even Druitt and Tesla started cheering louder for her.

When Will entered he was booed and cat called by the crowd. Only Henry had come to watch him defeat her in under five minutes.

He walked down the same aisle that she had walked just a few minutes before. He looked over the crowd to see if Magnus was here. She wasn't.


The Big Guy was their to enforce the rules of the gym.

They both where wearing all the protective gear for the fight. Ashley took off her robe first. She was nothing but skin tight spandex suit over her protective gear. She knew she looked good and knew how best to show it off to the crowd. Most of the crowd cheered but a few just leered.

When Druitt noticed those few. He gave them a death glare then turned back to the match and ignored them as he watched the match.

After the cheering had died down a bit Will took off his robe. The crowd grew quiet when they got a good look at the muscles that he had. They knew he was built but not this built.

The only one to see him in his birthday suit was Sally the resident mermaid and she wasn't telling anyone.

'I'm more built than you thought right Ashley. And more skilled in hand to hand as you are going to find out soon enough.' Will thought to himself.

Not even Dr. Helen Magnus knew that before he was trained as a forensic psychologist. He already had a tremendous recall of sights, sound and events that happened around him. But like Dr. Helen Magnus he knew for the blessing and curse it really was.
