"I don't believe this." Logan muttered as he stared at the scene before him. He was in the Danger room with Beast and Professor Xavier.
"Believe it Logan." Sabertooth snarled. He was manacled and restrained in a cage.
"I'm going to pop you like a zit." Logan said as he popped his claws.
"Logan stop!" Xavier ordered. "Sabertooth is here for our help."
"Yea, buddy." Sabertooth sneered. "I can't control my bloodlust anymore and I need the 'glow' to help keep me in control o' the beast." Sabertooth explained.
"The 'Glow'?" Logan asked skeptically.
"The Psionic energy released during telepathic conduct." Beast explained. "It's been known to pacify people."
"Magneto had a telepath that used to give it to me, but she met with an unfortunate demise." Sabertooth explained. "So I left Mags and came here for help. I figured you guys being the goody-two shoes that you were wouldn't turn me away."
"I'm going to keep my eye on you Bub. You so much as harm a hair on one of these kids and I'll gut you like a trout." Logan snarled as he walked out of the Danger room. Beast and Xavier followed him.
"Logan, everyone deserves a second chance." Xavier said, trying to calm his friend.
"Not him!" Logan screamed.
"What about you? When I first found you, you were no better." Xavier said sternly.
"Yea, but I had control and didn't like hurting people." Logan said. "I don't trust him Charles. And I ain't going to live here as long as he's here. But I'll be watching..." Logan said as he took off.
"Should we stop him?' Beast asked.
"No. Let Logan cool off. We can keep Sabertooth under control as long as he stays in the Danger room." Xavier said as he wheeled himself into the control room.
"So how are we going to give Sabertooth the 'Glow" that he says he needs? I mean you and Jean can't probe him psionically because of his healing factor." Beast said as he pushed a few buttons, locking Sabertooth in a maximum-security cell.
"We need someone who can create a Psionic conduit between them." Xavier explained. "Using that therapy we can hopefully cure Sabertooth of his homicidal rages."
"But who can create that kind of conduit that can pass through his defenses?" Beast asked as he turned and face Xavier.
"It's simple actually, I just hope she will go along with the plan." Xavier said as he pondered the situation he was in.

"Hey Bets." Mike said as he walked into the kitchen were his girlfriend Betsy Braddock was making a sandwich.
"Hey love." Betsy said as she pecked his cheek. "Whatcha up to?" Betsy asked as Mike opened up the fridge and got a bottle of water.
"Nothing much. Just watching Springer with Lance." Mike said as he chugged the water. "Toad and Pietro are busy trying to get Freddy to eat a piece of pizza that is an unusual green color and growled at us. And Tabitha is…I don't know where Tabitha is actually." Mike said as he wrapped Betsy in a hug.
"Good luck with figuring that out." Betsy said as she leaned into the hug.
"Am I interuppting something here?" They turned to see Lance leaning against the door with a grin on his face.
"Hey, we don't bug you when you're on a date with Kitty." Mike said defensively.
"Yea. That's because I make sure you guys don't know where we go on our dates." Lance said as he grabbed a bottle of water and headed into the pallor.
"Arrogant as of late, isn't he?" Betsy asked as she got out of the hug and finished her sandwich.
"To much time with Pietro I guess." Mike said as the doorbell rang.
"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU WANT CUEBALL!?!" They heard Lance scream. Mike bolted toward the door with Betsy in tow. When he got there he saw Xavier and Storm standing in front of Lance and Pietro.
"I merely wish to talk with you." Xavier said calmly. "May I come in?"
--------------------
"Let me get this strait." Mike said sternly. "You want my girlfriend to go into a room with a homicidal madman, and try to help him." Mike said in disbelief.
"Yes. Betsy is the only one capable of administering the needed treatments to Sabertooth in order to help heal him of his rage." Beast explained.
"Absolutely not." Lance said. "Magneto abandoned us, and now you want our help in healing one of his henchmen? I don't think so." Lance said.
"You must understand, it would be under the strictest of circumstances. No harm will come to Betsy." Xavier said.
"I'll do it." Betsy said simply.
"WHAT!" Mike screamed. "You can't be serious Bets."
"I can make my own decisions thank you." Betsy said. "And besides, I want to see if I'm up to the challenge." Elisabeth Braddock said simply.
"Can we talk in private for a moment Bets?" Mike asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Sure thing love." Betsy said as she followed him.
"I got five that says Mike wins the argument." Toad said.
"I'll take that bet." Beast said. "He is totally whipped."
"HENRY!" Xavier scolded. "I cannot believe you would partake in such a childish practice." Xavier said sternly. "Besides, I got twenty that says Betsy wins the argument."
"You're on!" Pietro crowed as the watched the door to the kitchen.
--------------------
"Elisabeth, you can't be serious." Mike said in disbelief.
"Michael, I can hold my own, I don't need you looking out for me here. Besides I think this is a good opportunity to see the extent of my Psionic powers." Betsy said simply.
"I don't want to risk you getting hurt." Mike said sullenly. "I lost one girlfriend, I'm not going to lose you."
"Look Mike, I think it's sweet that you like playing the white knight and are always looking out for me, but I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself." Betsy said as she hugged Mike.
"I know that." Mike said as he hugged her back. "I just don't like it."
"Look, if it bothers you that much, you can be there during sessions. That way you can see that nothing will happen to me."
"I still don't like it." Mike said as he stared into Betsy's eyes.
"I know you don't, love. But this is something that I just feel like I have to do." Betsy said as she kissed him. "Trust me."
"Fine." Mike caved. "But I'm going to be there and if it gets anywhere near out of hand, I'm stepping in and unloading on toothy." Mike said sternly.
"I wouldn't expect anything else from my boyfriend." Betsy said as she hugged him tighter. "Everything will work out, I just know it will." Bets said as she walked out of the kitchen and into the pallor.
"Dang I'm whipped." Mike muttered as he followed her. "Alright Chuck, but here's the deal I'm in the sessions at all time and Lance and Tabitha serve as backup." Mike said.
"That and we get paid a service fee of six-hundred dollars a session." Betsy said with a smile. "Therapy doesn't come cheep."
"Done." Xavier said as he wheeled himself out. "The first session is at 9:00 tomorrow morning." Xavier said as he left.
"What just happened?" Tabitha asked.
"I just won lost twenty bucks to Baldy." Pietro moaned.
"That and we just got baldy to pay for our bills for awhile." Betsy said with a smile. "That and I get to see the extent of my powers and Lance here gets some time with his Kitty. It win freaking win." Betsy smiled. She didn't know how wrong she was.

"Well I must say the sessions are getting better." Storm said as she watched Betsy and Sabertooth. Sabertooth's eyes were in the back of his head as Betsy had her Psionic knife, firmly implanted there.
"Yes. His blood lust and adrenaline levels have all evened out remarkably." Xavier said as he studied the monitor.
"That and his manners have improved." Beast said as he studied the same figures. "He's even made a friend in Tabitha."
"Well, seeing that Mike beat him to a bloody pulp his first day here and Lance has been off with Kitty the entire time, I can see why. Tabitha's the only one who has treated him humanly." Storm said as Mike watched what was going on with a careful eye.
"Alright Psylocke," Xavier said over the intercom, "That will be enough for today."
"Good. I hate being in his head." Betsy said as she pulled her knife out.
"Tabitha, you may escort Sabertooth to his room." Xavier said.
"Well I still can't believe that Sabertooth can move around the mansion freely." Mike muttered as he watched Boom-Boom walk Sabertooth toward the Danger Room.
"He still has restraints on, Omega." Xavier said.
"Since when has that stopped him." Mike said as he held Betsy's hand.
"So what was it like this time Betsy?" Lance asked as he and Kitty entered the room.
"Jumbled. No real organized thoughts." Betsy said. She then froze and grabbed her head. "TABITHA!!!" Betsy screamed as she ran back into he danger room. The door sealed shut behind her.
"Betsy!" Mike screamed as he rammed the door. It wouldn't budge. Meanwhile on the inside of the danger room Sabertooth backed Tabitha into a corner.
"Thanks for removing my restraints Tabs." Sabertooth growled. "I've been waiting to strike at Logan, and the best way is to kill all of you little brats. But in order to do that, I needed to get inside, without having to worry about Chuck's mind control."
"That's where I came in." Betsy said as she drew Sabertooth's attention to the Asian Ninja. "You used my Psionic blade to help build up your resistance to Psionic probes." Betsy hissed as she assumed a fighting stance. "But theres one thing you don't know Creed. I was trained by the elite group of ninja's known as the Hand. And I don't like being used. Now back away from the girl or I go medieval on you." Betsy said as Sabertooth licked his lips.
"This is going to be fun." Sabertooth said as he charged at her. Betsy dodged the attack and buried her Psionic Blade into Sabertooth's head. Normally Sabertooth became immediately docile, but this time he just laughed. "Sorry babe, I never needed the "Glow". I've been playing you kiddo." Sabertooth smiled as he raised his claws over his head and brought them down on the purple haired youth.
--------------------
"Why the hell won't this open!" Mike shouted as his fists pounded away at the steel doors that sealed the danger room.
"Sabertooth's shorted the circuitry!" Xavier shouted as he and Beast tried in vain to open the door electronically.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Came a blood-curtailing scream from inside. Followed by a loud explosion.
"BETSY!!!" Mike Nagrite screamed as his adrenaline began to pump. He pooled all of his strength in one punch to send the door flying into the room. They all ran into the room. There was a huge hole in the wall and Sabertooth was nowhere to be found. Betsy was on the floor, a pool of blood around her, as she lay motionless in Tabitha's arms.
"I'm so sorry…" Tabitha muttered as she held Betsy's unmoving form. Mike and the other's just looked on in shock.
