Flying Angel: I stopped for a while but I'm back now, would have uploaded sooner but there were fanfic probs. May more people take after your example!!!!!

THE REASON WHY

Dr. Hank McCoy watched the unconscious felinoid on the medical table. Sabretooth was being restrained by a lot of large metal cuffs. Hank doubted they would hold but they were all he had. Hopefully Sabretooth would still be quite slow when he awoke, or his reactions would be slow enough for them to move him to a safe hold-tank before he fully recovered.

Ororo had brought in Sabretooth after sending Logan off to calm down and stop threatening to kill the 'easy-prey' felinoid.

Dr McCoy checked the restraints once more before going over to the table and sorting out the injections his patient needed to keep him drugged up and pain free. *Hmm, patient, Sabretooth, I never thought I'd see the day. *

Suddenly Sabretooth started growling and struggling against his restraints. When Hank checked on him it seemed as if he was still sleeping but having a nightmare, a violent one at that.

"Professor, would you mind coming down here to visit the patient, I believe there is something occurring that could be of use to you." Hank spoke through the telecom.

"I'm on my way, Hank."

The professor arrived a few minutes later with Ororo and his eyes immediately went to the struggling mutant on the table.

"What's wrong with him professor?" Ororo was sounding concerned.

"I don't know Ororo I may have to look in his mind to find out."

With this being said Xavier moved towards Creed's head and placed one hand either side and closed his eyes, probing into his mind to find the trouble.

**************** Sabretooth and the rest of the brotherhood were in the cliff hideout waiting to hear the reason why Magneto was calling them together. At that moment Magneto himself walked into the room and stood on the raised platform.

"My fellow Brotherhood members, you have been called here today for a very important reason. A new mutant has been found." He paused to gather their reactions, "It turns out that she is incredibly powerful with a mixed bloodline. I have approached her to try and get her on our side but unfortunately to no avail. If she fights against us she can destroy us all!" Magneto stopped on that morbid note.

"And how do we stop her from doing this? In fact, who is she, Magneto?" Mystique was becoming impatient with the long speech.

"Well, my dear Miss Ravenholme, that is a very good question, you see to stop her she must be killed and her name is actually Belladonna Creed!"

Sabretooth couldn't breathe, this couldn't be true, how could his daughter still be alive, didn't she die in the fire?

He noticed that by now everyone was looking at him. None of the looks, however, were sympathetic.

"Mr Creed, could you please enlighten us on your daughter's weaknesses." Magneto asked coolly.

Sabretooth's breath caught in his throat as he tried to comprehend exactly what Magneto was asking him to do, help kill his daughter when he had just found out that she was alive!

"No Magneto, I won't do it. I won't betray my blood!" Sabretooth answered, shaking inside, knowing exactly what could be done to him and how much it could hurt.

"Oh, my dear Sabretooth, that must be one of the noblest things I have ever known you to do, but your timing is a little off. HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY ME!!! You insolent thing, you must be punished!"

Suddenly Victor found himself pinned up against the wall and he felt his skeleton start to be twisted out of shape. It hurt more than anything he had ever felt before. The pain was excruciating.

********** Suddenly Xavier found himself surrounded by pain and he had to quickly get out of Creed's mind before he was stuck there for the entire torture time. As much as Sabretooth couldn't stand the pain Charles was sure that he would most definitely not manage even half that pain.

He would have to wait until Creed was awake before he questioned him on his past. Charles needed to know where this mutant was and how powerful she was as well. Unfortunately it may take a while for Sabretooth to recover, Charles realised as he looked at the mutant writhing in remembered pain on the medical table. Thankfully Charles had felt how loyal Sabretooth was to his family and so was quite sure that he had not given away Belladonna's weakness.

*It is my silver lining on an otherwise cloudy day.* he thought to himself as he wheeled out the hospital wondering how long it would take for Sabretooth to recover.

(A.N.: that thought is from an episode of 'Lloyd In Space' and it just popped into my head.)

********** Please review. I'm sorry the chapters are so short, I'll try to make them longer. Updating will be slow as I have my physics exam next Thursday AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if Sabretooth seems to be o.c in this fic but I promise to try and have some of the good ol' baddie back in him!!!!!!
