Disclaimer: Writer not affiliated with Marvel in any way, shape or form, characters and original settings all belong to Marvel Comics. Just wanted to finally give these two a chance, been rooting for them since they met in New X-Men. Now let's all write Craig Kyle and Chris Yost and tell them to give these two a break in the comics, I think we can all agree they both deserve it!
Timeline Notes: M-Day has not happened in this timeline, nor did Laura/X-23 take part in joining the characters of NYX, but her personal timeline before NYX is intact. Claremont's X-Men run and by extension and the events in New X-Men have not involved Laura Kinney at all. Similarly, events that became possible by M-Day such as Civil War, Messiah Complex and Secret Invasion will not have occurred. (Mass mutant rebellion against Registration would have fielded advantage to the Anti-Registration side after all). Julian Keller has left the Xavier Institute approximately one year before the story takes place, but the Hellions Mini and his activity in New Mutants Volume 2 and New X-Men: Academy X have all taken place.
Character Notes: Estimating Julian to be 17 years old at the time of this and Laura to be about 16 years old given Comic timelines move in strange and mysterious ways and characters are suddenly younger and older for no reason. Maintaining Laura's tendency of not using contractions and slang when she talks as seen in New X-Men and X-Force. Also taking my best guess on Laura's personality in this time line and how it would evolve over time.
Note for "M" Label: Contains strong language, strong sexual themes with some graphic description in certain chapters with intermittent violence and some scenes of torture. Not for younger readers of course, but it's the internet and I doubt anyone's taking maturity labels seriously… Not all chapters will contain everything above, so relax, not a wall-to-wall smut fest.
Chapter Seven: Trespass
Julian had left Laura on his third visit with her, engaged in some banal conversation with King, bragging about Laura's subservience to him and his own prowess at making her obey him. Julian also had to make sure he knew about Bliss's offer, but stated as Laura suggested, he was still getting Laura to observe all his wishes and he didn't feel it quite time yet to reward her with having an Inducer enhance her pleasure. Julian wanted to make Laura completely submissive to his wishes by himself, it was more 'fun' that way. It was becoming mostly routine and Julian wondered if he was going to have to start writing himself a daily script for every visit he made to The Club from now.
Laura was in her usual position when King came to inspect how she had done, she kept her mind blank and he seemed pleased with the state of the room and Laura's obedience. It did not excuse her from her next conditioning session, but the hood stayed off, although she still wore her collar and shackles everywhere. It was her routine as she attempted to collect information that would buy her freedom, although it was not getting easy. She was not finding she could build any noticeable tolerance to Angel Dust's pheromones nor Bliss's treatments, though at least for the moment they were not affecting her overall mental health.
Laura and Julian would see each other again over the next five days with almost no issues, Laura would be able to actually eat and rest and fortify her mind. Laura exchanged fresh information with Julian, who took careful notes with her assistance and both took time to sleep. It had all been going so well until the next night they met.
Shit shit shit shit shit… Julian thought to himself as he frantically checked his pockets, it was gone, his scrambler was gone and he had just arrived at The Club, he hadn't realized the gravity of his error until that moment.
With his parents not having too much competition to deal with after his scuttling of the Stark-Roxon rocket, he had plenty of time to visit The Club and keep Laura away from her torturers. Five days went by without the slightest hiccup, they had a routine and he respected her modesty and kept his distance as well. He'd bought a trench coat to wear on his visits, which Laura could then wear, to feel less exposed and to personally help him so he didn't have to see what she wore under it, or what it left exposed. He kept his shirt off as she asked, although he still suspected, albeit he thought his mind was playing tricks on him in that department that she occasionally looked at him without his shirt on.
Laura would have new information, extra details about the facility, the estimated size of the slave quarters, names and descriptions of another mutant she suspected to be what she termed the Elites. Laura had told him from what she could gather, the Inducers had come to The Club either willingly, or had been abducted and then offered the power, since their abilities did not require them to engage in sex acts to entertain clients. They had either joined them or been broken down first, but managed to regain their status, the Inducers seemed to have a particular influence even over the male guards. Laura was almost certain now they had managed to make King addicted to their abilities to wield their power. Laura also noted that two other of the girls seemed to be 'elites' as well, a shape shifter called Mirage and an Exotic called Ruby, whose skin, hair and even her eyes were pure ruby-coloured with no irises. There were mutants with similar mutations to Ruby, but only she had risen to the top, it was possible they had been elevated to their position for serving King personally or the Elites had arranged it. The Inducers wanted to have other types of mutants in their small group to more easily establish authority and keep the other slaves hopeful of rising up and therefore doing whatever was asked of them. Laura also noted that Angel Dust seemed to be favoured by the Inducers and guessed by her powers, the Inducers thought her one of them and planned to add her to the Elites to once again, either help influence King or outright control him at times. Laura had so far counted over eighty separate slaves and suspected there were more she had not accounted for.
Julian had managed with her help to work out a much better idea of the slave quarters, their adjoining areas and how much distance between them and the client areas. The area Laura described for him roughly doubled his estimate on the size of The Club and Laura had once initial insight. Laura determined The Club was underground, based on the dispersal of air vents and the overall layout, it reflected that off an underground bunker, but heavily modified for the Club's purposes. The information that Laura had so far collected had left Julian feeling optimistic, at least he didn't have to worry that they were in some interdimensional space or five hundred feet below water. The club had to have surface exit, if only in case something happened to the teleporters King used.
They would share information, Laura would practice her thought masking and Julian would leave her be and think up new ways to convince the X-Men to help him. Julian also spent time working on another way to secure her release without their help, but nothing seemed workable. A couple of times Laura decided to take a dip in the Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and just relax, it felt very nice to let the jets massage her body and forget where she was. Then when he had to go, they would tear the room up and leave a trail of evidence like they would spend the night as an owner and slave would. Julian always respectfully kept his back to her when she undressed and never dared take a look at her naked body, less he make her think he was planning to use her in some way.
Then the accident had happened, he'd been out flying and trying to unwind when he ran into that damned SHIELD Helicarrier, or nearly ran into it. He had probably been flying faster than he should have, but he didn't exactly wear a speedometer and just had to guess how fast by how long he took to go from point A to point B. Then he came through a cloud and there it was, he had to veer right very quickly and got so spooked when a set of flying cars suddenly left the side of the Helicarrier he was flying along and he almost hit them, he panicked and lost control of his telekinetic field for a moment and fell. It had been during that fall he guessed that he had lost his scrambler, it seemed the only logical explanation of where it had gone. He had restored his field for flight rather quickly and sped off quickly through the clouds, then he tore straight down until he was flying only few feet off the ground in case he was going to be detained for having a near-miss with a SHIELD Helicarrier. If they did send anything after him, he lost them quickly enough when he finished flying over a forest canopy and then landing and dodging inside a McDonalds.
He had made his mistake but he was also in a bind because he now had to find an excuse to why he couldn't do what he had to pretend he wanted to do. There she was, Laura was right in front of him, masked, chained, painted and barely clothed for his benefit, it was a purple bustier and thong with purple stockings with attached garters. It would have been very hard not to stare but he had too since he was in front of King and playing his part.
He had to appear confident and he was wasn't doing well at the moment, while he tried to figure out an alternative, maybe King had stopped trying to tape him in the act, maybe he could find the cameras and cover them not likely, probably so small I wouldn't see them if I looked right at them. Shit, what do I do? Say I've changed my mind? Not in the mood? Urgent business call? FUCK, THINK! All the while, buzzing his TK as an extra precaution in that moment, he couldn't be quite sure how well the psi-blocker was working. The problem was, he wondered how long Laura would be able to keep Kin out, she had to be anticipating this and King was likely listening in to what she was thinking at the moment. He made his decision, he'd have to say he had a received an emergency message just as he was teleporting and he had to get back to deal with the problem immediately.
"I'm sorry to say this, but I think you got my little Doll dressed up for nothing. I got a call just as you teleported me in here. Business can't wait, someone needs something urgently and I am rather a unique agent." Julian said, trying to be cool while he looked Laura over appraisingly then turned away and started walking back towards the departure lounge.
"Ah of course, we could leave her as is in your room if you think could resolve this matter quickly, do you think that would be possible?" Master asked after him, ever the opportunist with his clients.
"I think that would work. I'll call within the hour if you should just put her back as she was." Julian said, he would know within the next hour if he could get what he needed.
Julian got what he needed, it cost him twice as much as the first one he had bought because he'd needed one right that second. It was similar to the one he had before, a bit bigger but still easily carried, probably just an older model. There wasn't time to wait around for a better one to be found or hunt for another supplier who could give him what needed. Julian did say if he could have two more available as backup pieces, he would pay very well tomorrow. Julian didn't want Laura to be tortured for another day while he found a better one and was without her respite from her 'conditioning'. He had to take the chance, she probably wouldn't forgive him if he explained it was his carelessness that got her another round of torture.
He called for his teleport and returned, marched straight back to his room where Laura had been put down on the floor and forced to kneel with her head touching the ground, still shackled and hooded. Julian quickly got the restraints off of her as he kept saying sorry about taking so long come back.
"Why did you have to leave?" Laura asked as Julian examined his scrambler again, it seemed to be working properly and it would warn him if there was a problem.
"Long story short, went flying to try and clear my head, ran into SHIELD Helicarrier by accident, lost my concentration and fell, so I lost the scrambler. It cost me more than most people make in a year to get this one." Julian said as he examined the scrambler one more time, than pocketed it
Laura eyed him suspiciously at his explanation than shrugged it off. Julian was far too honest, or so she had found when it came to explaining himself to suddenly lie to her as to why he'd lost the device. She also knew it was important that he actually try to keep a clear mind, the situation they were in continually troubled him so he needed some respite so he did not become unreliable. Laura then went to work practicing her new form of psychic defense.
Everything was going fine, until Julian heard the quiet beeping. Julian found it was his scrambler and panicked, it was officially the worst piece of bad luck in his entire life.
"What is wrong Julian?" Laura asked as she looked up, hearing the sound as well.
"I think it's about to stop working, the bastard sold me one with a shit fucking battery!" Julian said as he examined the scrambler and noticed the battery warning. His good one had been able to run consistently for days straight with no need to recharge it, this one had worn out in about forty minutes.
"Strip." Laura said as she quickly stripped off her own clothes, then took them and threw them around the stripper pole, to make it look like he'd had her give him a private dance.
"What?" Julian asked, then realized what she meant, in a few minutes, the camera was going to come back and they'd look awfully chaste for a man and his sex slave.
"We are going to have to physically couple to maintain our cover, unless you are prepared to break me out of here in the next ten seconds or have a plausible explanation of how you noticed a low battery warning while you were coupling with me while we wore all our clothes." Laura said as she reached down to the floor and reattached her collar.
"No, there's got to be something else we can do…" Julian started, but Laura looked him right in the eye with a very commanding stare.
"There are a lot of things I had to do to survive even before I was brought here, this will not harm me any worse than what I have done before today. All you have to do is follow through on those feelings you have had towards my body since you first saw me. I know you look at me when you think I do not notice and that you are find it very hard to control your sexual attraction towards me sometimes. I will play the obedient sex slave and you just do what you have to do, or tell me what you want me to do. However if you try anything really over the top and we make it through this, I will inflict serious harm on you." Laura snapped at him, telling him what they would have to do get through the night.
Julian felt troubled, but he realized it could go a lot worse for both of them if they didn't go through with this. He sighed, he'd wanted her physically since he'd seen her, but he knew this was a betrayal of what he'd try to do for her since the start. He took off his sneakers, socks, pants and underwear and discarded them around the chair near the dancing pole, then brought his shirt and jacket over and left them there as well.
"Two minutes, bed, floor, wall, Jacuzzi, or something else?" Laura asked as she kept her mental countdown of the timer she'd seen on the scrambler's warning indicator.
"Bed." Julian replied, reluctantly pulling off his boxer shorts as he watched her walk towards the bed, silently pulling her leash along and then left it hanging from one of the hooks.
"What position? What is natural for you?" Laura asked, Julian couldn't help but blush.
"Uhh, top." Julian stammered out as she lay herself down on the bed.
"Condom." Laura snapped, Julian nearly stumbled over going to the nearby table with the vast array of condoms laid out on it and quickly put one on. The thought of them actually having sex had already had him at 'full attention'.
"Remember, I am Doll, or pet, or anything like that, you call my name out and we will be undone. Try not to look confused if I call you master or anything, we either sell this or I will quickly become used by half the clientele here for a number of things you do not even want to think about. You could likely be killed if King takes the time to break through your telekinetic interference and psi-blocker and find out what you are really here for. Even if he can not easily break through your mind, he will break through mine to find what he needs." Laura said as she grabbed him and pulled him down on top of her.
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Julian said, then Laura grabbed his face.
"It is and you should have been more prepared for a situation like this but that doesn't matter. Now do it now or you're dead and I'm finished!" Laura snapped at him again and reminded him they were out of time.
Julian looked at her and took her advice, he let his hormones and natural impulses do the work. He started riding her as quickly as he could, the faster he could get it over with the better, Laura kept a docile look on her face, accepting what was happening, then arced her neck back and playing her part as she made herself look as if she was going wild with the sensation, including a few screams that almost made him stop. Julian kept going, trying to end this shameful act as fast as he could. He hit his peak and stopped, pushed himself off of her and rolled over, but his own body betrayed him in a few minutes. He felt himself aroused again, being this close to a naked Laura, when he had permission was driving his body crazy.
Laura seemed to notice and learned over, the rustle of her chain heard as she smiled with a docile look on her face like she was looking forward to more. She grabbed another condom, replaced the one covering his member and straddled him. To say he'd not dreamed of this would be a lie, especially when she grabbed his hands and brought them over to cover her breasts.
Laura silently cursed Julian's overcharged libido as she guided his hands down her chest and back to her breasts again, Julian responded this time and began to caress her breasts while she rode him. She threw in her moans again, nothing she hadn't learned from her earlier work on the street and it was a performance, and she had to appear like she was enjoying herself. Surprisingly, Laura felt her own climax building, she hadn't even thought about such a thing during this, the idea had been simple, copulate as quickly as possible so they could pass out tired or appear to pass out tired. Laura did feel somewhat attracted to Julian, he was physically attractive and he just seemed to stir something within her. The sensation kept building and Laura was soon moaning for real as she felt a release, and then noticed the stupid look on Julian's face as he had another one he's been wanting this since he saw me, wonder if he planned this. Laura thought, and then decided to ask him later, when she could measure his heart rate and see if he was lying. It seemed doubtful, he had seem far too ashamed of what was about to happen, far too apologetic and far too disgusted at what she was forced into to ever consider it.
It didn't end either on the second time, Julian felt arousal a third time after lying on the bed for about fifteen minutes, really wishing he would fall asleep. Julian reminded himself if he made it through this, he would definitely need to a way to work off some tension before he showed up. Bottling it up since he'd met her had probably just made her hate him more than anything right now having to go through with it once more.
Laura noticed this and forced herself to get up, smiling at him invitingly as she quickly replaced the condom once more for him then got on all fours and turned around, offering herself once again. Please God, let this be the end, or she's going to kick my balls into my throat the next time I see her! Julian thought as got on his knees and then started again for the third time. This time thankfully ended quicker, he was sure that Laura was thinking of something painful to do to him every time she let off one of her fake moans.
He was worn out and thankful he wasn't getting another erection, he smiled at Laura, complimented her on being a good Doll, took her leash off the hook and told her she could rest now. He rested his head on the pillow as did Laura and quickly fell asleep, but when he dreamed it was about what they just did. Laura fell asleep as well, her dream was a bit different, she was actually wearing clothes and so was Julian but they were just lying in bed together, he held her very close, promised she would be safe, Laura found it very comforting.
He awoke later and found his and Laura's naked bodies were pressed rather closely together, that was not how they had fallen asleep last night. Last night was something he remembered, but he had definitely not remembered having her breasts resting right against his chest, nor her legs tangled with his when he fell asleep, they had obviously gotten closer when they were asleep. He looked himself over, he had some smears of her body paint on various points of his from the friction of their bodies and sweat taking some of it onto himself. Julian forced himself to smile for whatever cameras were watching at that moment. He casually looked at Laura's naked body and traced his fingers along her naked skin as if enjoying his 'property'. Julian wasn't sure whether he was just playing his part, or if he just really wanted to feel her naked body some more.
He quietly dressed himself and then made a great effort to curse and swear out loud as he picked up the scrambler out of his pocket and let out all the anger he had that it had failed for real, to better sell his anger. It startled Laura awake who had still been asleep after he pulled away from her, he turned around and changed his expression when saw her, again letting himself ogle her naked body.
"Still, can't really blame you my little pet…" Julian said as he traced a finger across Laura's cheek, she kept a docile expression on her face, making herself look as submissive as possible.
"Long day, I wasn't paying attention and I couldn't even give you my full attention when I got here I was so tired. Don't worry though my little Doll I'll be back soon and I'll make sure they treat you well, after all, you were such a good girl last night. Loved the little striptease you gave to help get me started, I'll have to make sure I give you a special reward when I come back." Julian said, hating himself for every word he said as Laura kept the same expression on her face, went down to the floor in front of him and knelt before him.
"Please come back soon master, it is very lonely without you." Laura offered in soft, submissive voice, but he caught the micro-second of fire in his eyes, she would make him pay for this.
"Everything satisfactory sir?" Julian was interrupted on his walk, trying not to think about Laura, trying not to think about what he had just done to her. He'd used her like he swore he never would do, but he had and it as not easy being two-faced the way his stomach felt right there.
"Perfectly, but I gather I think I was being watched as I often try to avoid while I'm here. I thought the idea of membership was a certain level of anonymity to this club. While granted that tape could be considered harmless on its own and chalked up as a cheap home movie I don't appreciate that I might be blackmailed. " Julian said and wished his powers were time traveling so he could undo the whole mess.
"Not as long as the anonymity of this club is protected, you'd be surprised how often someone has a crisis of conscious or mentions this place to the wrong person, it can be very damaging for business. We rely upon a strict referral-only policy to ensure we do not start attracting the wrong crowd here, we wouldn't want the rabble to overrun the place would we? Rest assured, this place is our little secret and what may or may not have happened between you and your Doll, but if you wish I could get you a private recording for your enjoyment." Master offered, Julian suspected that he might receive a blackmail offer, or his parents might but he didn't really have anything else to say besides his usual bravado.
"No point really, both Doll and I know what we did and instant replay is for sports not sex. Besides, I'd just had a particularly bad day and couldn't even throw my best effort in there, I think Doll was a bit upset about how little fun we had. However I'll be coming back tonight and I plan to be nice and rested so she can and I can have a nice long night and I can give her a special reward. I barely had to say a word last night, I just asked her what she wanted to do to me to help me unwind and there she went. Went right over that dancing pole and gave a five-star performance to help get me in the mood and put that crappy day I had behind me. Then when she was down to nothing at all, I was just sitting there with my shirt off and not feeling like doing much of anything tonight when she really got down to business. Doll just came over, ripped my pants and boxers straight off and sucked me off right there and swallowed like it was candy. Then after that was done she got right into my lap and told me with those pretty green eyes of hers for me to please have my way with her any way I liked so I could feel while she kept her hand right on my dick. Doll could see that I wasn't really up for much last night and just need a few quick rounds to take my mind of off things, so she did just what I needed her to do. There's nothing like waking up to that hot little body of hers, I was almost ready to give her a nice morning-after fuck but I knew I'd take time too much time enjoying myself and be late for some work I have to do." Julian went on, pretending like last night had appeared somewhat vanilla for a man and the sex slave he'd bought to serve his every whim.
"A special reward you say, would you like any particular girl reserved for that?" King asked wondering what Julian intended to do with Laura.
"I don't know, if we go that way I'll take Doll for a walk, see who's available and ask Doll who she think she'd like to have as participant. Giving her the pick will be her special reward for the night, let her pick the girl she'd really like to get to know better. Though I think I might just spend a nice long time in there with her and make sure she feels very good since I've got the day after off." Julian went on like the cocky jerk he needed to sound like to play his role.
"Well if she is available, I would suggest Angel Dust, she's very good at helping new pets get used to being with another girl if they're having trouble getting into it. Her pheromones are very relaxing as well, or stimulating if that's what you need them to be." King suggested to Julian with a wink.
"I'll think about it." Julian said, working a look on his face that made him seem to enjoy that idea.
"There isn't anything coming up though that might cause a problem and keep you away though is there?" King asked after his client as he left.
"Might be a funeral coming up in the future, but I hope it can be avoided." Julian replied over his shoulder, not sure how much he meant that last remark
Thinking about what Laura might take out on him when they were actually out of there if they had to go through that again. If she could hit him this hard when she was being psychically commanded not to kill, him what she could when she wasn't under any restrictions was too painful to think about.
"So, the little Doll's pleased her master so much she's getting an extra reward is she? Get up pet, you know the rules." Laura heard King's voice as she was yanked up again by the chain that ruled her life when Julian was not around to keep her from being used, until last night anyway. Still, if he planned it he seemed to not be too into doing anything extreme to try and 'sell it' as he might say and while I did have to tell him what to do which he could have planned, he did not nearly go as far as he could have. Julian is just in over his head and does not have the understanding to properly plan for a complex mission such as bringing down this place. It is easily possible he simply made a mistake and did not think he should carry at least one backup of the sole device that has protected his cover.
"Yes my King." Laura said obediently as she got up off the bed and began obediently reattaching her shackles. This was a rule for her when not around Julian she was to wear them to remind her of her place. Laura was now allowed carry her hood with her when given permission not to wear it when she had been perfectly obedient.
"Your owner has decided you're to get a special reward for being such a good Doll for him. This could mean you're going to get an extra playmate to work with, so I think after Bliss and Pain have finished with your training today you'll need some extra special training. You're going to get to watch some of our videos of how it works when our clients like to work with extra girls, plus some good tapes showing about how inventive some of our girls can be. After all, if your owner is going to reward you, you'd better be prepared to thank him right back for that reward. Watch carefully, I will ask your owner to make sure you gave him a reward back when he's finished with you on his next visit." King told Laura as he tugged at her leash as a reminder.
"Kneel, head on the floor facing the door Angel Dust comes and gets you, you're her responsibility and so from now on if you misbehave, you both will suffer for it. You've had plenty of lessons now to know not to misbehave so if you still don't understand it someone must not be doing their job and I know it's not Bliss and Pain nor is it your owner. That leaves only one possibility and I while don't want to have to give Angel Dust punishment, she might not be helping you at all or even confusing you. I'll tell her of the new arrangement to make she's extra motivated to help keep you pleasant and pretty for your master." King said as Laura obediently went over and kneeled at the door with her head down as he left the room and closed the door.
Laura kept a few thoughts to herself this time, it seemed King had not noticed her two separate thought patterns. It was predictable though, it was an unfamiliar psychic defence and King was a very arrogant man about the security measures he took to ensure his dominance.
