Let's Make a Deal
Back at Cobra Headquarters Sabertooth paced around. He was not happy. "I can't take much more of this," He snarled at Pyro. "Maybe if I threaten to break her neck she'll tell us what she knows about Magneto."
"I might suggest another way," A voice spoke.
"Mystique?" Pyro looked at the form of Cobra Commander.
"That ain't her," Sabertooth growled.
"Correct," Cobra Commander entered with Destro. "My name is Cobra Commander." He raised his hand to shake with Sabertooth. He didn't take it. "Well I'm sure you have heard of me?"
"Oh yeah!" Sabertooth growled.
"Now before you do anything rash," Cobra Commander held his hands up. "I just want to talk to you. I want to make a little deal with you. A deal that would be advantageous to both of us."
"Easy Sabertooth," Pyro stepped in front of him. "What sort of deal?"
"Just how attached are you to Mystique?" Cobra Commander asked. Sabertooth growled. "I thought as much. Have you ever heard of a woman named Emma Frost?"
"Yeah," Pyro folded his arms. "She's working with Mystique on some project."
"She's also the one who's got Magneto imprisoned," Cobra Commander told him.
"WHAT?" They both shouted.
"I made an interesting discovery amongst Ms. Frost's notes," Destro held up a piece of paper. "It's the coordinates of where she imprisoned Magneto."
"Give me…" Sabertooth started to lunge.
"Wait a minute!" Cobra Commander said. "Now let's think about this. I need to regain control of Cobra. You need your leader back. Right?"
"Yeah," Sabertooth narrowed his eyes. "Go on."
"But since Mystique is keeping you on a leash here in order to protect her I might have a bit of trouble reclaiming my position," Cobra Commander said. "You do realize she never intended to tell you about this?"
"I think we've pretty much figured that out," Pyro nodded.
"Now if you were off rescuing Magneto instead of hanging around here…" Cobra Commander said.
"I got ya," He took the paper. "Okay, you got a deal."
"Excellent," Cobra Commander nodded. "I'll give you guys and your associates say 24 hour head start before I move things along. I suggest though you move as quickly as possible before that telepath finds out somehow."
"Yeah, come on Pyro, we've got some friends to talk to," Sabertooth left with him.
"Well that's one obstacle out of the way," Destro said. "Are you sure we can trust Zanya?"
"As much as I trust a crocodile," Cobra Commander snapped. "But I think she will come to our aid. Soon, Cobra will be mine again!"
