Chapter 14: Hellfire and Wolfsbane
The Complex-
Morph was bored. He was strolling through the corridors of the Complex in search of something to do. He would have asked his teammates to accompany him somewhere but they were all busy with their own things. Vincent and Blink were showing April around. Jono had his date with Erotica and Heather and August were out shopping again.
Morph soon found himself outside the teleporter room. He peeked his head around the corner. "Hello, anybody home?"
"Hello Morph." Guardian said as he looked up from the teleporter controls. "Is there anything that I could help you with?"
"Nothing much." Morph shrugged. "I'm just kinda at a loss for anything to do. I would ask the other guys to come do stuff with me but they're all out."
"You're fortunate that you came in such a time as this." Guardian said. "We have a visitor."
"Ooh, is she hot?" Morph asked with a grin. Guardian just shook his head and finished with the teleportation controls. Morph leant up against the wall and waited to see who Guardian was teleporting. There was a brief shimmer as a crimson-clad figure appeared.
"Say hello to Dare." Guardian said. "Again..."
"What are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining." Morph asked her. "I thought you had to deal with all those vampires?" Turning himself into a comical version of Dracula.
Dare shrugged. "Well I was doing fine and then this dark haired girl named Faith showed up and let's just say the vampire population is kind of near zero now. Plus I needed a break and I still got this thing." She held up some type of small communication device. "So I'd thought I'd stop by for a visit and see what I missed out on."
"As you remember I gave her that device a while ago in case she needed help or vice-versa." Guardian explained.
"You guys got anything to eat here?" Dare asked looking around the large mostly empty room. "Teleporting always gave me the munchies."
"I'll show you around." Morph said as he put his arm around Dare's waist. "Perhaps we could get to know each other a little better."
"Morph, let me ask you something. Have you seen Kill Bill?"
"Yes?" Morph asked suspiciously.
"Remember the five strike exploding palm?"
"Point well taken." Morph said as he removed his hand from Dare's waist.
Later-Morph and Dare had finished their tour after a quick stop at the residential kitchen for a quick snack. Dare was telling Morph her history.
"My real name is Karen Natasha Murdock. I was named after two of my dad's closest friends. Apparently, if I was going to be a boy, he was going to call me Foggy. My mom didn't like that though. I was born on the Greek island of Corfu in my family's palatial estate. My parents as you know are Matt and Elektra Murdock. You most likely know them better as Daredevil and Elektra. My childhood was pretty normal. Well, if you call being disgustingly rich normal. We moved to New York when I was six and lived in another mansion in Queens. That's where I met my future friend May Parker. You might know her parents better as Spider-Man and Mary Jane Parker."
"The same Mary Jane Parker that was in that hospital show?" Morph asked.
"The one and the same." Dare replied.
"God I loved that show." Morph grinned. "I still watch all the ones we got stored in the media library."
"And I suppose the fact that there were lots of hot women in nurses uniforms didn't harm the appeal." Dare smirked.
"Am I really that shallow?" Morph replied with mock hurt. "Anyway, you were talking about your friend."
"We were inseparable." Dare continued. "We did everything together, hung out, went swimming, fought crime..."
"Right on." Morph interrupted. Dare carried on regardless.
"We stayed together through Junior High, then High School and on through college. We even shared an apartment together."
"So, any boyfriend's back home?" Morph asked hoping for a no to that question. "Just out of curiosity you understand."
"Not really my thing." Dare shrugged. "Guys, I mean."
"Girlfriends then." Morph continued, while wondering why it seemed he always got to spend time with the hot girls that weren't into guys, it was like the Mariko thing all over again, only without the lingerie part.
"Getting awfully personal, aren't we?" Dare asked, swiftly changing the subject. "I've done all this talking and you haven't even said anything about you. So, have you got a boyfriends back home?" She asked with a smile.
"Oh look, there's Guardian again." Morph said as he too swiftly changed the subject. "Hey Boss Man, is the teleporter spare? I thought I'd go try and find that reality where we visited the Playboy mansion."
"You actually went to the Playboy mansion?" Dare asked.
"Oh yes..." Morph replied as he started to reminisce...
Several weeks previous-We now find Morph dancing the conga with a long line of scantily clad ladies. "This is the time of my life!" He grinned.
Later he was talking to a guy wearing a smoking jacket. "So let me get this straight...you got a blond bombshell of a girlfriend who's way younger then you are, who is fine with the fact you spend a lot of your time around scantily clad women and you and her girlfriends go out all the time too?"
"Pretty much, not to mention I get to see all the photo shoots and other things that go on here." The grey haired man said.
Morph got down on his hands and knees bowing. "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! You are my new god!" Morph had a lot of fun that day and in fact they others had to drag him off. While they dragged him off he tried to get back in fact his fingers left a few grooves in the ground. "Please let me stay! Just a little longer! Come on guys Miss October wanted to meet her and Miss November and December in the grotto for a private pool party! Do you know what the odds are of just one let alone three playmates in consecutive months wanting to 'meet' you?"
Now-"Good times..." Morph sighed with a goofy smile on his face. "Anyway, the teleporter..."
"I have finished with it for now." Guardian replied. "And what ever you do with it Morph, please be careful, it isn't a toy and don't make a fool of yourself with him again I had to do a LOT of explaining to him about that."
"You have my honour as a gentleman and a lady." Morph replied as he gave Guardian a salute and walked off. "Aren't you coming, Dare?"
"I'm alright here, thanks." She replied.
"Suit yourself." Morph shrugged. "All the more scantily clad chicks for me." Guardian and Dare watched Morph as he walked off in the direction of the teleporter room.
"Are you sure that it's wise giving him free reign on such a powerful machine?" Dare asked when Morph was out of earshot.
"I don't know why." Guardian replied shrugging. "But I have faith in Morph."
The teleporter room-Morph walked into the teleporter room and nodded in greeting to the robots working there. They didn't respond, as they weren't programmed to do so. Morph walked on to the teleportation pad and waited to be sent to his destination.
"Destination... Reality sixty-nine-three-sixteen." Morph said. "Oh wait, that's six-one-nine! Wait, sto..."
Morph's words came too late as the robots did their stuff and teleported him away.
Reality 69316-Rahne Sinclair, the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club was sitting idly on her throne. Reclined on the velvet cushions around her were her Black Rooks and Bishops, Danielle Moonstar, Doug Ramsey, Sam Guthrie and Illyana Rasputin. She was about to order them to dance when a figure fell form the ceiling.
"Aww, crap. Where am I now?" Morph groaned getting up off the floor. He hadn't had a rough landing like that since working for Timebroker.
"Morph?" Rahne asked in surprise as she got up off her throne and approached Morph. "Is it really you?"
Morph did a double take at the sight of Rahne Sinclair the Scottish werewolf mutant in a black leather bustier, knee-high high-heeled boots and panties. Her shoulder length red hair was in curls.
"Geez, Rahne! Wha... who... huh?" Morph stuttered staring at her and how her clothing or lack there of, clung to her body.
"Take a seat and I'll tell ye all aboot it." Rahne replied. The not-so innocent Scot werewolf snapped her fingers and Dani hurried over to bring Morph a chair.
"Uh, thanks... Dani." Morph said as he sat down not sure what was going on. Especially after seeing Dani and the other in black clothing. The women in black dresses and the men in tuxes.
"It all started after all that business with the Beyonder. Ye do remember that, don't ye?"
"Oh yeah." Morph replied. "He killed the New Mutants then brought them back to life." At least that what had happened in his world he still didn't like to think of that day.
"Then we joined the Hellfire Club f'r a short while." Rahne continued. "While the others left after a while, I stayed on. Well, long story short, I challenged Selene to a duel and won the place of Black Queen, end of story."
"B-but you seemed so meek back then." Morph said as he remembered the innocent little Catholic girl that he once knew. "What happened?"
"Ye didnae expect me tae stay like a wee girl forever, did ye?" Rahne replied with a grin.
"I suppose..." Morph said. It was just strange to see the young girl he knew and seeing the woman she was now.
"You must be hungry. 'Yana, fetch Morph something to eat, would you?"
"At once, your majesty." Illyana replied meekly and bowed out of the room.
"Well that's a different Illyana than the one I used to know." Morph said refereeing to their old Exile teammate. "She woulda cut off your head for asking such a thing."
"Well ye havtae make sure that yuir underlings dinnae give ye any trouble." Rahne replied as she crossed her legs languidly. Morph gulped nervously as he tried desperately not to ogle.
"So what have you been up to?" Rahne asked leaning forward and resting her chin on one of her hands. "It must be exciting."
"I-I dunno." Morph stuttered. "I have to get back to the others..."
"Oh pish." Rahne replied. "Sam, tell Sophie and the others tae prepare one of the guest suites, Morph will be staying for the night."
"Yes your majesty." Sam replied meekly.
"There's really no ne..."
"Stop right there, laddie." Rahne interrupted sternly. "Ye must be tired from all that teleportin', you go have a sleep an' I'll see ye later." Morph gulped nervously as Rahne got up off her throne and winked at him sexily. "If ye catch my meaning..."
Exile Complex-April, now in new clothing thanks to the other girls and who now wore her long dark hair in a single braid, was looking around the place, it was so huge and she was glad that she had Vincent there, Blink was nice too but she had to wonder why she was hanging around Vincent a lot lately. Of course Blink was nice to her and stuff but they way those two seemed, they seemed really close and...well...it just made her a little annoyed for some reason.
Although she knew that this man wasn't the same version as the boy she knew he was still everything she remembered about him that she liked. She remembered how one time they were all in a holding cell after one of the more painful tests. They weren't allowed to talk but most of them still cried from the pain and fear they felt from it.
She remembered how they had been sitting there and she couldn't take the feeling of fire in her veins from one of the injections and started to cry, then she had felt an arm around her and she had tensed at first. Then saw is was Seven holding her. She could see the pain on his face but he was giving comfort to her and she head leaned in on him and cried while the pain was in her body.
Prodigy Seven had always seemed to look out for the other kids in someway and they felt a sense of union because of it. Now April felt that again with this version of him. They were both grown up and yet she still felt like a child wanting to be held again to make all the bad things go away.
She had been having nightmares and he had told her he still got them too. That everyone gets them from time to time. He had gone through the same hell as she had and was glad for his company.
The others were a strange lot too. Jono seemed to be the quiet one of the group August, who seemed to have this sadness was cheerful enough, Heather was almost like her only seemed more wise, Blink was truly a leader at times. She remembered watching one of the training sessions and how she commanded the team.
Morph was a bit of an odd one, although he did make her laugh at times and he was nice, she just wondered why he looked at her certain ways. Then lastly there was Guardian. He was truly a mystery to her and the others. He didn't talk about himself and he was like his wise wizard she had seen in this movie they watched. He reminded her of Gandolf only in black and not old. There was a lot about him that he didn't talk about and that was fine, he was a kind and caring person she could tell that much and it was enough for her and she did enjoy helping him out in the labs and stuff too.
She had also seen the body of Proudstar and was saddened to hear about what had happened to him. She hoped one day she would recover as well. "So what do you want to do now?" Vincent asked her.
She snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh...I would like to spend time in the garden if you don't mind...it's nice and peaceful there."
Vincent smiled and nodded his head. She smiled and linked her arm in his, and sighed a bit, he was like the closest thing she had to family. Blink saw how April was hanging off of Vincent and she didn't like it much.
She didn't know why, okay so they both had gone through the same crap and they shared a bond from that, she could get that, she felt she and Vincent had the same thing considering their own pasts. But for some reason April hovered around him a lot of the time and it was getting on her nerves a little.
Sure, she was still learning about life somewhat being controlled for most of her life and was a little naïve on certain things but she was a nice quiet woman...so why did she feel this...jealousy? No that couldn't be it? Blink pushed the thoughts aside and continued on with them.
Later-Morph was in his room, a lavish looking room that should have been in a four star hotel, with expensive furniture all around and a king size bed. To say that he was panicking would be an understatement. "Omigod, Omigod! I'm lost in a strange reality and Wolfsbane's got the hots for me. Doctor MacTaggart would kick my ass if she knew."
Morph then started to pace the room nervously. He sat down on the bet and marvelled at the softness. He considered using the Recall Device but he couldn't remember what button did what in his state of mind, that and he got the feeling ticking this Rahne off wouldn't be good and given his luck it would be a safe bet he'd somehow be back here he just knew it. Mainly because it seemed the universe had it in for him.
"Mmm, comfy." He said as he squeezed the mattress on the bed, he figured he might as well calm down and try the bed. He then climbed on and started to test the weight. "Hmm, not too bad. I wonder how high I can bounce." He then started to jump up and down on the bed.
He was on to jump number eleven when there was a knock on the door. He gave out a yelp of surprise and fell off. He muttered a curse and got up to answer it. He gave out another yelp of surprise as he saw five identical blonde girls standing on the other side dressed in identical clothes as Rahne, but in white.
"We are here to make sure that you are settled in well." They said together in eerie monotone. "We are also here in case you need anything. And we mean, anything!"
He gave a strangled squeak and slammed the door in their faces and hid under the bed, he had met those girls once before where TJ was now living and they had freaked him out now just like the other ones did, even in their new clothing, he was also sure he would never be able to watch Children of the Damned ever again. There was another knock on the door.
"Go away, I don't need anything." Morph called from under the bed.
"Morph, it's me." Rahne replied. "Can I come in?"
"Umm... no?"
"I'm coming in anyway." Morph cursed to himself as Rahne walked into the room and locked the door behind her.
"How d'ye like yuir room?"
"It's certainly... comfy." Morph replied.
"I'm glad ye like it." Rahne said as she took a seat on the edge of the bed. "I had the best designers in America make it." There were then several minutes of awkward silence as they simply looked at each other. Rahne decided to break the silence first. "Why don't ye come sit next tae me?" She asked as she patted the space beside her invitingly.
"Yes ma'am." Morph squeaked as he sat beside her.
"I do find ye attractive, y'know." Rahne whispered huskily as she put her hand on his thigh. Morph let out another frightened squeak in response. "D'ye think I'm sexy?"
Morph cleared his thought as he tried to find his voice again "It's not that I don't find you attractive. As a matter of fact, an alarmingly sexy redhead dressed only in leather and lace is one of my all-time fantasies but..."
"I know ye like bad girls." Rahne continued as she crept closer. "And I'm one o' the baddest..." As if to illustrate her point, Rahne licked Morph's neck languidly.
"Uhh... What was I saying?" Morph squeaked. Rahne just grinned evilly and pushed Morph back on to the bed.
The Exiles Complex-Vincent and Jono were walking through the corridors of the Complex when they saw Morph walk out of the teleporter room. His eyes had glazed over and he was walking like a zombie.
"What do you think happened to him?" Vincent asked.
"He either saw the Hulk naked again or he got laid." Jono replied.
"Do you really think he got laid?" Vincent asked although he also tried not to picture the Hulk naked, that was just too disturbing an image he wanted stuck in his head.
"Who? Morph? Naah, of course not!"
TBC...
