-The Hydra's Wrath

Chapter 48

Not too far away, Logan and Lady Hydra continued their horizontal tango, until they both noticed Jubilee's crimson light. Lady Hydra, knowing immediately that that's where her female target could very well be, concentrated very hard on keeping all of Logan's attention on herself.

"What the hell was that!"

"Oh, it's probably the military again testing their nuclear weapons out on an uninhabited island. Nothing to get worked up over. Now… Where were we?" she started kissing him along his neck, but he pushed her away and walked towards the bedroom window.

He stared at it intently, "That ain't no nuclear weapon, Darlin'. That there's a mutant, who just lost total control over their powers."

Huffing in frustration, Lady Hydra made her move towards him, and wrapped her arms around him, "Come to bed, my love. That nasty beam of light is nothing to concern yourself with." he shrugged her off, ignoring her advances, this infuriated her, but she kept her cool and used a technique that she had used on him earlier. "Come to bed, my love…"

As she nuzzled Logan's neck the pores of her skin slowly opened up and released a pink vapor that gave out a erotic smell. The scent wafted into Logan's nose and he breathed it in deeply, enjoying the sensation, until he noticed what exactly was going on through the reflection of the glass window. Angered by the deceit, he spun around, and shoved her away from him.

"What the hell are you trying to do to me!" he demanded.

" I'm simply using my pheromones to keep a lowly male like you interested only in me, that I can you preoccupied long enough from your mission to allow my comrade to get to the girl first."

"You bitch!" popping out his claws, he charged her, but she easily ducked out of the way, "Who the hell are you and who sent you!"

"The name's Lady Hydra, though normally I don't release my employer's name, but in your case, I'll make an acceptation." she smiled widely as she made her way towards her purse, turning her back on her prey, "Emma Frost."

"How did she-"

"I have no idea, but if you have any complaints I suggest you take it up with her." without warning she spun around and shot at him with a silencer. A couple of the bullets hit him square in the shoulder, the rest narrowly missed him. "You're quick for someone your age… Let's see how far we can push you!" flipping the gun around, she pushed a button, and miraculously the silencer shape shifted into a katana like sword. Holding it to the side, she sped towards him, and tried to upper cut him. He stepped to the side and did a round house kick to her back, unfortunately for him her reflexes were much more faster than he anticipated. When his attack didn't follow through, she did a kicking back flip and rolled backwards out of his reach, "Ooh!" she smiled, "This is definitely going to be fun." Lady Hydra sped towards him again, till she was about five feet away from him, then she leapt to the side, and began bouncing off of all of the walls. Logan growled angrily as he tried to predict where she would land and what her next move would be.

"Damn it, woman! Stay still, so I can get you outta the way and go find Jubilee."

"Then I wouldn't be full filling my job. Emma said to keep you away from Jubilee by any means necessary." jumping down behind him, she stabbed him through the back, he roared in pain, and collapsed on the floor in one big heap. "Even if it includes killing you in the process too. Just as long as Jubilee stays alive and safe."

Slowly she walked away from his back, but was stopped by his hand reaching out and grabbing onto her ankle, "One thing about me, Darlin'… I don't kill easily!" he lashed out and sliced off the leg that he was holding onto. He expected her to fall down screaming and cursing out every word in the book, but what he didn't expect was her to simply stay standing, and laughing. "What the hell's so funny! I just cut your fuckin' leg off for cryin' out loud!"

"Did you ever wander why I called myself Lady Hydra, Logan?"

"I try not to make it a habit to lower my intelligence to that of anyone who picks a fight with me."

"Well… Do you even know what a hydra is?"

"Is there a point to all this?" struggling to push himself up, he noticed that the leg that he was holding onto started to move and grow. "What the fuck!" throwing the leg across the room, his attention was then turned to Lady Hydra's bleeding stump, which in turn began to grow a new leg to replace the old one.

Lady Hydra laughed manically, "My mutant ability is such a blessing and has helped me out on many occasions. My mutant ability happens to be able to regenerate missing limbs that might happened to be amputated for lack of a better word, but that's not the fun part… The fun part is that for every limb that gets hacked off, two more duplicates of myself take it's back." they both looked over at the squirming limb in time to see it divide into two separate beings, "And like the hydra… I'll still live even if you hack off my very head."

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"Well, Logan. Not everyman gets to brag about being with three chicks at one time, but unfortunately you won't live long enough to get any of the bragging rights. Let's get him girls."

All at once Lady Hydra's 3 forms attacked Logan, each using a different fighting technique. The original Lady Hydra continued to use her katana silencer to cut him down to size, the second used a fighting technique called gung fu, and the third used ninjitsu. Their combined attack and techniques confused him, but he tried hard to concentrate and not loose his cool.

'Easy, Logan. They may out power ya in numbers, but they don't got nothin' on ya in what ya do best.' he thought to himself, 'Ow! For something so skinny they sure do back a punch. Okay, take out the ones that are using the one technique that you know best… The bitch using ninjitsu is my best bet.' he slashed out at her, but stopped himself before he made contact, 'Shit! Almost forgot that I can't slice them without them making another duplicate of themselves.' he growled furiously, 'My best bet would be to somehow get them all thrown out the bedroom window and then haul ass, so I can hurry up, and get to where that beam of light is. I know for sure that that's where Jubilee has to be.'

"What's wrong, Logan? Does our beauty distract you?"

"Lady, you ain't that beautiful. I've seen drag queens with better looks than you."

"You will pay for that!"

The one form that knew ninjitsu began bouncing around and used pressure points, the other that knew gung fu came around from behind and tried to grapple him, while Lady Hydra herself dropped down and slashed at him feet.

'Shit! Fuck throwing them out of the window, I'll just throw myself out! I'll figure out someway to take em' out later.' he jumped to avoid the katana, grabbed the ninjitsu fighting form, and threw her at the one behind him who was going to grapple him. Without a moments hesitation, he raced towards the hotel window, and broke through it, making a clean get away.

Lady Hydra and her two forms raced towards the window, each scowling as they watched their prey escape.

"Don't worry, girls. There's only one place that he's going and by the time that he gets there… The girl will already be one and he'll already be dead. When you two had him distracted, I opened up my pores again and released poisonous spores that can even kill a mutant with a healing factor. If it doesn't kill him, it'll surely slow him down long enough for us to kill him. No one rejects Lady Hydra and gets away with it. Come on. Let's warm up the jet."
