The Mission of Hellfire
Chapter 4: Those who break and those who wont
Shaw's office, the meeting room of the Hellfire club. And at the moment Shaw wasn't in a good mood, for he had just discovered some very disturbing news. Tessa was the first to arrive as usual.
"Do you have the records?" Shaw asked.
"Yes sir, here they are!" The pale woman said as she put a file on Shaw's desk.
"Ah thank you Tessa, I don't know what I'd do without you" Shaw said, getting off his seat and grabbing the woman's bare shoulders.
Tessa remained still as Shaw firmly pressed his lips against hers.
"Is this a bad time or should we come back later?" Leland asked as he and Fitzroy entered the room, both men smirking at the intimate moment.
"No don't worry, where is Emma and Selene?"
"Selene is with her toy boy and surprisingly Emma's still with the Summer's boy, she's growing quite attracted him, its almost disturbing" Fitzroy explained as he took a seat near the fireplace.
"Then we'll start the meeting without them" Shaw said, taking his hands off Tessa and sitting on his chair.
A stern expression crossed the mans face as he explained to his two colleagues what had happened over the past few hours concerning Wolverine, Cable and Soldier. Though he had little detail on Cable Shaw had always heard rumours of a masked man within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black ops. He had numerous spies within the organisation but they had all only heard rumours of the masked man known only as Soldier, a man with photographic reflexes and suicidal recklessness and determination.
The two men Fitzroy and Leland both had looks of concern for they too had heard of Soldier's reputation as a man who never gave up and always fulfilled the parameters of his mission. And there was Wolverine, Adamantium claws and military training not to mention his healing factor, and who knew what Cable was fully capable of.
"Though on a much more positive note it seems we have discovered a possible new recruit" Shaw said, replacing his frown with a smile.
"Oh do tell!" Fitzroy said.
"The Reaver Josh Foley, it seems he is a mutant and apparently one with Omega level potential, a healer it seems, why if not for him the Wagner boy would be dead" Shaw explained.
"So we could make him one of our pawns like the others?" Leland asked.
"I have a very simple plan Harry, this new mutant team of Xavier's will all become pawns of the club along with Spyke, Gambit, Colossus, Shadowcat and the Brotherhood, several positions in the Club have become available, once he has been broken young Mr Drake will be declared the White Knight, Munroe will become the white Rook while you Fitzroy will receive the new position of White King"
"Why thank you Sebastian, what of Summers, X-23 the Grey and that southern girl?" Fitzroy asked.
"Yes and Magneto what becomes of him?" Leland asked.
"He will meet the same fate as Xavier, he is a man that can't be manipulated…as for Summers he will become the new Red Knight while X-23 and Rogue become the Red Bishop and Red Rook respectively and Jean Grey will become the Red Queen"
It was then that Selene and Emma entered the room, both women standing tall and proud.
"I trust your games are going well?" Shaw asked.
"Very good progress with the Summer's boy, alls I need to do is one more thing and then the Cuckoos can get to work on the Grey girl, as for the Cuckoos progress the Drake boy is a stubborn one as well as that X-23 girl, but with the Drake boy they just need to pick in the right place, carefully manipulate some memories and make some promises that Xavier couldn't keep, but the Rogue is a much easier task, her ability to touch is all that needs to be exploited" Emma explained and Shaw smiled at the woman's progress.
"Well I've been having some fun with the New Mutants, the Russian and Cajun are trouble but fun, the Kitty cat was too easy and so was the Scottish girl and the blob, its only a matter of time before I break them completely and convert them, I have yet to start on the others though there is something I am rather concerned with concerning Magneto's daughter"
"She is right, I also share some concerns" Tessa cut in, earning a glare from the Black Queen.
"As I was saying her mental state is cause for concern…if not for Masterminds manipulations her severe hatred of her father would have continued" Selene began "She has powers beyond her father and even Xavier, her mother is gone and her father spends more time on his plots then on his children…she has the ability to alter probabilities but I think in time and with training she will soon be able to manipulate reality itself" Selene's expression darkened while Shaw only grew more curious. "I know that look Sebastian and I say we kill her quickly, such power as that is too much and it will shatter her mind, and in return she will decimate this reality"
"She is correct, I have looked inside her mind myself and she is indeed damaged" Sage said.
"Very well then, still I want to see how far we can get with a mixture of torture and therapy, I still believe we can make use of her, if not then you'll get your chance to kill her yourself Selene" Sebastian said, inwardly shuddering as the woman licked her lips.
Daylight had already passed and the three men walked through the streets, keeping their eyes open for any trouble in case they were ambushed.
'How much longer until you can use your teleportation gate Cable?' Soldier asked with a thought, Cable himself was communicating through telepathy and fooling the perceptions of the crowd, who all saw the three men as nothing more than regular citizens like themselves with faces they saw everyday in the crowd.
"Sorry Soldier, it still needs thirty minutes to charge, we could get something to eat and save our strength"
'I don't need R and R' Wolverine thought.
'I already took some rations earlier and my wounds are fine'
"I can understand Logan but you're a stubborn bastard Soldier!"
'There's a mission to complete and I cant rest until its done' Soldier thought as he walked on ahead of the two mutants.
'Hey Cable, what do you make of this Soldier guy?'
"I know he can be trusted, I don't need "intuition" to know that he's a good man"
The Hellfire Club dungeon, never before had Kitty Pryde been so helpless, even her faith couldn't help her escape from this. She laid curled up in a ball, her clothes ripped with cuts and bruises across her back and her hair as messy as it could get. For a long time she had lived a sheltered life, with good friends, believing in her religion and always having faith that god had a grander plan. Similar thoughts had ran through Rahne's head, as she too once had strong religious faith. But both girls had been broken, isolated from their friends and whipped cruelly by Selene. While Kitty had a mutant control collar strapped tightly to her neck, Rahne was in her wolf form, howling for some kind of help. They were on the edge.
"AAAAAAAAAAGHH!!" The Deathly yell echoed through the dungeons.
Each mutant that was being held by the club shook in fear for what awaited them. Gambit, the Cajun thief, former Acolyte and free spirit was strapped to a torture chair. It was a device that Selene requested Pierce to make. While the victim was strapped to the chair, mechanical claws at the back of the seat would continually dig deeper and deeper into the victims back, while a TV screen flashed Hellfire propaganda.
"We mutants are the future little Cajun, we're are destined to inherit this earth from the humans, you can be a citizen of this new world era" Selene began, walking in between the screen at regular intervals, mostly so she could get a look at Remy's handsome face. "But to be a citizen you have to give something back, you have to give yourself completely to the clubs vision, of a world in which the strong rule"
"You mean a world of peace that's been achieved through murder and manipulation, fuck you!" Gambit growled in between his grunts of pain.
"Peace is peace no matter how it is achieved, look at Iraq, the Americans freed it from Sadam's grip, but now its worse then ever, peace is about order and we will bring order to the whole world, it doesn't matter if a few insignificant specks are squashed in the process" Selene said back. "As this clip says, mutants are superior so they must naturally rule over humans"
"No one is superior….NO ONE IS SUPERIOR!!" Gambit yelled out so that the people outside could hear him.
"Oh so your one of Xavier's naïve fools now, believing that everyone on this planet is equal and that one day humanity will accept one another's existence…Naïve retard" Selene spat on Gambit's face, but still he carried on.
"I DON'T BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE WILL ACCEPT US BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS A HUMAN WHO ACCEPTS EVERYONE WHO PASSES ON HIS LOVE TOWARDS OTHERS! I BELIEVE THAT OUR ACTIONS AND XAVIER'S DREAM CAN INSPIRE OTHERS TO ACCEPT THAT WHICH THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND!!"
"YOU'RE A FOOL!!" Selene screamed, slapping the Cajun across the head.
She pushed his cheeks together, and Gambit felt a sensation run across his body, as if he was being drained of his life, but still he pushed forward.
"REMY USED TO BELIEVE THAT IF HE DID HIS OWN THING HE'D BE FINE! BUT SOMEONE TAUGHT ME THAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS FIGHT FOR A DREAM! I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH XAVIER'S DREAM AND THE X-MEN AND THAT BEAUTIFUL RIVER MOUSE!!" Gambit cried out.
Selene moaned as Gambit bit her fingers, so hard that he drew blood. The Black Queen slapped the Cajun across the face and pushed a button on the console behind her, the TV screen went off and more mechanical arms began to prod the Cajun with tasers.
"I think another few hours will be good enough for the young man don't you?" Selene asked the girl beside her, who nodded her head and licked her chops.
"Don't worry Mistress, I'll make sure he knows that the lord Imperial's ambition is the future" the girl said.
"The Lords cardinal, after all your talk Black Queen it seems your just a pawn too" Gambit said with a smirk.
"YOU STUPID LITTLE BITCH KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED!!" Selene yelled, punching the girl across the mouth.
"I'm sorry lady Selene it just slipped out of my mouth" the woman said, scurrying back in pure fear.
Gambit glared at the moment as Selene began to savagely beat the poor girl up. He closed his eyes as he heard a sickening crack.
"Well…its good to be rid of that girl, sure she was good at torture but her coffee sucked…it's a shame really, you should have seen how innocent she was when her parents made her attend Frost's school in Massachusetts…but she was destined to become this, a pawn of the club and a citizen of the order it will create" Selene explained.
"Yeah go ahead bitch…. GET COCKY AND OVERCONFIDENT BUT JUST YOU WAIT SOMEONE WILL COME! NOT ONE PERSON YOU KILLED WILL GO UNACCOUNTED FOR! IF NOT THE X-MEN THEN SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WILL STOP YOU JUST LIKE THEY STOPPED HITLER AND SADAM! YOU CAN NEVER DESTROY THE GOOD THAT'LL ALWAYS BE IN THIS WORLD!!" Gambit yelled before the tasers began to shock him again.
The Cajun's yells and words of passion had touched some of those who would not break. Each one of them was filled with a new resolve, inspired by the Cajun's courage. But unfortunately there were those who inevitably would break.
"Your pathetic, your sister is unstable…why cant you see that Pietro?" Magneto had asked his son after they had dumped Wanda at the mental institute.
"But she's family, cant we find someone else who can help, I read they had magicians in the Wundergore Mountains" Little Pietro had said.
"That place is filled with insignificant beings"
"But we have to save Wanda!"
"QUIET BOY!!" Replacing Eric's coat and shirt was his armour and helmet.
He slapped his son across the face, stomping on his knees.
"Your no son of mine, your just another pathetic speck in the world I'll create" Magneto had said as he flew away.
In one of the few times of his life Pietro sat on the ground crying. He felt the rain spray across his body, but that feeling was soon gone. Young Pietro looked up to see a tall imposing man holding a umbrella over him. A kind smile crossed the lips of Sebastian Shaw as he offered the boy his hand.
"Come now young Pietro, why don't we go and collect your sister" Shaw said.
Pietro Lensherr, or Pietro Shaw as he came to call himself accepted the mans invitation. They got his sister out of the institute and the rest became history.
Sage walked out of Pietro's cell with the boy and his sister beside her. She still had doubts about Wanda, considering how much power she could wield. Selene was eager to kill her, but Sage was willing to kill any of the children here, if it meant they didn't have to suffer under Shaw and Selene's influence. While Selene had opted for a "we're the inheritors" strategy with the strong ones of the X-men and brotherhood she also chose another strategy for the weaker of the mutants. She tormented them; especially Kitty and Rahne, made them feel completely insignificant. Sage had to contain her anger as Selene dragged Kitty across the floor, by her hair.
"Really dear that style doesn't suit you" Selene said as she opened the door to another torture chamber.
Upon seeing what awaited her Kitty immediately began struggling out of Selene's grip. It was a chair, the kind that you would see at a barbers. And beside it was a tray with several blood stained scissors, wire cutters and an electric razor.
"No please, please don't I beg of you" Kitty moaned and screamed out when Selene threw her on the chair. "PLEASE STOP!!" she screamed and screamed.
Three of the Hellfire clubs guards held her by the wrists and legs while Selene held her neck. The woman smiled as tears ran down Kitty's face. Her scream echoed through the dungeon, covering up the buzzing of the razor. Selene made no effort to be gentle, practically digging the electronic razor into the mop of brown hair. Kitty closed her eyes as Selene shoved the mirror in her face.
"Look at yourself little cat, this is what you are, an insignificant pawn in the grand order of Hellfire…now tell me what are you?"
"An…insignificant pawn in the grand order of the Hellfire club, I serve the kings and queens and knights of the Hellfire club, and the word of Lord Imperial is the word of god himself" Kitty said in an emotionless tone, only amplified by the telepath that was inside the room.
Sage shook her head in disgust as she walked on.
Shaw had recruited all manner of men into his organisation. But none so mysterious, as sickening or perhaps sinister as Nathaniel Essex. He was a mutant himself, with incredible regenerative abilities. Because of this it was impossible to estimate his age. He was the resident scientist of the club, an expert in genetics and theories of evolution. Though experimentation he had incorporated other abilities such metamorphosis and energy manipulation into his being, and because of this his appearance was like that of pure evil, pale white skin, eyes that always glowed red and a red diamond shape on his forehead as well as a pair of fangs. Sebastian walked through the mans lab in disgust at the numerous brains and mixed animals floating around in the tubes of Essex's lab. Essex's ears twitched as Shaw walked towards him, he put down his clipboard and turned to the Black King.
"Nathan how goes your work?" Shaw asked in mild interest.
"I must admit Selene's mix of magic helped a little bit, they adapted to the genetic splicing even better than I had hoped, especially mister Worthington…in fact just another few minutes in the chamber and they'll be done" Essex explained.
"Emma was wondering if you'd be able to experiment on Scott for her, she does hate looking at that visor he wears"
"Stupid vain woman, get her to use her telepathy to block out the part of his brain that controls his powers, experimenting would only reduce his power, power that could be use to make you stronger than you ever been I might add"
"Yes of course whatever was I thinking" Shaw said with a smirk while Essex laughed. "Now show them to me!"
"Of course!" Essex said with a smile as he pressed a few buttons on the console.
The three chambers beside Essex slowly began to open and the scientist smiled at his work. A man in a black suit stepped out of one chamber, and spread out a menacing pair of huge steel wings, it was Warren, or Angel as he had once been known as, his expression was one of pure hate for the life he had once led, his eyes had gone bloody red while his skin had changed to a dark blue colour. The ground practically shook as a metallic boot slammed into the ground. Standing eight feet tall was the steel giant Piotr Rasputin, but while he had previously displayed some innocent and calmness, this Colossus was bigger, shirtless with metallic spikes sticking out of his shoulders and spines while his face had been shaped into a bestial mask with glowing red eyes. Electricity crackled as the third chamber opened and a being of pure electricity stepped onto the floor.
"Berserker, Angel and Colossus, exactly the kind of pawns the Lord Imperial was looking for am I right?" Essex asked.
"You've certainly outdone yourself this time Nathan, you've earned yourself the Darkholme woman, she is a whore after all" Shaw said as he walked out of the room.
Each one of the former X-men had new expressions on their faces. No longer would they smile or cry, only remain as they were, filled with rage and hatred for the enemies of the Hellfire Club.
Scott was completely clueless, Emma had shaped his mind well. Though it was difficult to make him give up Xavier's dream, Emma did at least make him give up on Jean. He now stood completely naked in Emma's room.
"Ta-da!" Emma said playfully, pulling a white cloth off of the present that the club had made for Scott.
It was a new uniform made by Pierce from Emma's designs. They had made a suit of ruby quarts armour that would regulate Scott's powers into his hands. It was a red colour which Emma had ordered to have some areas of his chest and arms exposed, two straps connected the chest and shoulder armour to his waist clothing and boots. His helmet had white-eye lenses and covered his whole head apart from his mouth and was connected to his shoulder plates, which had special circuits inside them that ran the optic energy into Scott's hands.
"Thank you Emma!" Scott said.
"It was nothing Erik" Emma said, running a finger across Scott's chest.
"Erik" Scott said with a confused expression on his face.
"Oh come now darling, don't tell me you've forgotten your own name" Emma said. "You've been so kind to me over the years, you're my best friend and the man who I love…I'd to show you how much I appreciate that love" Emma put her hands to Scott's head.
Scott didn't even flinch as Emma removed his glasses and began to passionately kiss him. He moved his hands to the laces on Emma's corset and began to undo it. Both lovers or at least in their minds smiled at one another as Scott threw away the cloak and corset. Emma ran her hands through Scott's hair, kissing his head as he squeezed her breasts, kissing them as well as the woman's neck. Scott threw Emma onto the bed, ripping off her panties. With foreplay out of the way Emma moaned in pleasure as Scott slowly began their sex. In his mind he had already made love to a woman, but for the club this was a vital part in breaking Jean. Emma didn't complain as wrapped her legs around Scott's waist and ran her hands over his back as he kissed her neck.
"Emma…I love you!" Scott said as they continued to make love.
Jean opened her eyes with a gasp, she hugged her shoulders at the last things she had seen through her mental link with Scott.
"No it can't be…he cant…oh Scott!" Jean whispered as she cried herself to sleep.
Cable looked up at the sky and his two comrades looked at him strangely.
"Cable, what's wrong?" Soldier asked.
"We'd better pick up the pace guys, lets get to Pierce's and get some answers" Cable said, a look of pure anger crossing his face as his eyes glowed and intense yellow colour. 'Don't worry Mother…I might not know where you are but I promise you I'll find out…and when I find whoever seduced dad I'll kill her' Cable thought as he walked on ahead of Soldier and Wolverine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the newest additions to the club" Shaw began.
The other members of the club smiled as Shaw revealed their pawns, Shadowcat, now a shadow of her former self as the red pawn, Wolfsbane, more of a dog than a red pawn, Quicksilver and Toad the Black Pawns, and Storm, with shaved punk styled hair and clothing she was the White pawn. Both Rogue and Wanda stood proud in clothes similar to Emma's but red. They were both servants of the Hellfire club. Emma walked into the room followed by Scott…or as he now went by Erik the Red.
Next Chapter 5: A talk with Donald Pierce
