I Want My Frail Back

Chapter 14

Meanwhile, at the secret underground base of Weapon X, Jubilee awoke to find herself strapped down on a medical table with I.V. tubes sticking out of her. She looked around to see where she was and wasn't happy at all. They had put her in what looked like a hospital room which was one of the many places that she hated to be. She tried to see if she could break free from her bonds, but they were too strong from someone without super strength to break.

Just then, a strange man appeared out of nowhere, wearing a doctors outfit, and stood by her side. His face was concealed by a medical mask, but his glasses were visible. He smiled from behind his mask and said in a sadistic voice, "You're awake. Good. Now the real fun can begin."

"What are you going to do to me?" she asked, still struggling to with her bonds.

"Why, we're going to make you more powerful than you have ever been, not to mention a few little experiments that we want to try. Just to see what makes you tick." he chuckled and moved over towards a table with medical tools and needles, "Let's see here. Which one will we use today? Ah! Here we go." he picked up a syringe needle and headed back towards Jubilee. He squeezed a little be out just before he stuck her with it, "This will only hurt for a little while, but it'll put you back to sleep in no time."

"Keep that thing away from me, you freak! AGH!!!" she shrieked when she felt the serum flow through her veins. It was like fire and ice burning together at once. She began to feel light headed and slowly drifted back into darkness.

"I'm not the one who's the freak, young lady. By the time we're through with you, you'll hardly recognize yourself, but then… You won't even remember who you are once we brain wash you and turn you into another one of Weapon X Assassins."

That night, while she was unconscious, the doctors of Weapon X did cruel experiments on her. They poked and prodded her, testing different chemicals on her, and used different techniques to get a reaction out of her when she woke up. She screamed that night, more than she ever did when Bastion kidnapped her along ago.

It took Creed almost two days and two nights before he reached the base. He had no choice but to walk on foot if he wanted to infiltrate the base unnoticed. He was able to sneak past some of the guards and get inside the compound. He sniffed around for any hint of Jubilee's scent, but the smell of chemicals and different people overpowered any hope of sniffing her out. He had no other choice by to find her the old fashion way… Opening doors and taking a random hostage that was important enough not to be considered expendable.

The first few doors that he opened happened to be filled with only soldiers who were off duty.

He smiled and said, "Oh, damn. It looks like you boys ain't very lucky today, since none of you are of any use to me as a hostage, I have no alternative by to kill you all." He moved swiftly and cut them down before any of them could sound the alarm. Their blood stained his hands and splattered on his face, he loved every moment of it, licking the blood on his lips. He chuckled hungrily, "Oh, yeah. I'm gonna have fun tonight."

He went down the halls a ways and ducked into an unmarked room, which lead him to a laboratory. He hid in the shadows and watched the people who were in that room carefully. They were all scientists of some sort. All men, except for one woman, who had blonde hair. He studied them all, watching their movement; trying to figure out which one was head hauncho amongst the group. Finally he came to the conclusion that the woman was the one in charge.

He waited for the right moment to spring into action and took her hostage. Her screams alerted the others. As soon as they saw who her capture was they immediately raced to sound the alarms.

Creed stopped the scientist closest to the alarm and gutted him, while still holding the female scientist in his other hand. The others froze in horror, as he held the woman by her neck in front of him, "If any of you scumbags wanna live and keep blondie here alive long enough to continue your precious research, then you better behave and keep quiet. Otherwise…" he squeezed the woman's throat, she began choking and gasping. The others gasped and stayed still, not wanting to provoke him wrath. He smiled and said, "Good. An' just ta make sure you boys get the point," he reached into a built in pocket of his uniform and pulled out something no bigger than a computer chip. He pushed a button and laid on a table, facing the scientist, "This here's a motion detector bomb. Any of you move, then it goes ka-boom. So I suggest you better keep still if ya wanna see yer loved ones ever again." he threw his head back and laughed, then headed back out the door he came in to continue his search. "Okay, blondie. This is the part where you come in."

Jubilee woke up again to find herself inside some sort of a tank. It was filled with a strange liquid. Luckily she had a breathing mask over her face, otherwise she'd surely have drowned. Everything was dark, except for a little glass window in front of her. She looked through it to see nothing but an empty room.

'I've got to get outta here.' she said mentally, 'But how? Ow!' something cut her and she didn't know what, 'I'm seriously starting to hate this place. Hmm I wonder if those science geeks thought to take my collar off?' she went to touch her neck, but found that there room for her to really move. 'Damnit! I guess this isn't exactly my day.'

Just then Creed entered the room with the scientist still in his arms. Jubilee was too busy with her predicament to even notice them come in.

"Alright, blondie. This better be the place. Open the tank." Creed ordered.

"I can't." she cried.

"An' why not?"

"Because I don't have the access codes to even turn that thing on. My specialty is in animal genetics, not computers."

Creed frowned, "Then yer of no use to me." he slashed her throat, she fell dead to the floor. He stepped over her body and walked over to the tank. "Guess I'll have to open this thing the old fashion way." by now Jubilee finally noticed him. He grabbed a hold of the door frame and ripped it off of its hinges. Green fluid spilled out of the tank and onto the floor. He tossed the door to the side just in time to catch Jubilee before she fell.

"Hey, Creed." she said in a somewhat weak voice, "You don't know how glad I am to see your hairy butt."

Creed smiled, "Awe, did you miss me while you were being held captive?"

Jubilee pulled the mask off of her face and smiled back at him, "I'd rather spend a thousand years fucking you than being Weapon X's ginny pig for more than an hour."

"Damn! I don't know whether to feel insulted or flattered. Anyways. Can you walk."

"No. My whole body feels like it's asleep. That tank ain't exactly built for moving around in."

"Okay. I'll carry you out of here, but yer gonna owe me." he turned around and carried her out of the compound, while every once in a while reaching into his pocket and slapping more of those motion bombs on the walls they went by.

They were just outside, when slowly one by one the bombs went off, and the whole place exploded in a burst of flame and debree.

They didn't look back at the rubble, instead, they headed back to the cabin, grabbed a few of their things, and moved to different location.
