Time and Location: While Skylar Cade is in the Hellfire Club, Wolf and Kit are waiting in the shelter.

It had been five minutes since Cade walked toward the club. Wolf led the two horses into the barn and tied them up. Kit was sitting on the horse watching her friend with a smile. She was also getting a bit tired. When Wolf turned to her and grabbed her waist gently, Kit moved forward and wrapped her arms around her guardian as he picked her up. She held on tightly giving him a little kiss on his neck. He carried her to the end of the barn and placed her down on her feet.

Kit looked at him with a smile as she took her bag off looking down a bit. She yawned as they both sat down on the ground with their backs against the wall of the barn. Wolf placed his arm around Kit and let her snuggle into his chest. Kit didn't go to sleep yet. She had questions, so she looked up and asked, "So, skinwalker? I've never met one but I've heard rumors."

"What kind of rumors," Wolf asked. Kit shrugged and responded, "Oh that they are sort of evil and they would sacrifice a relative in order to stay a skinwalker. Most of them are Navajo."

"Ah," Wolf responded with a nod explaining, "Well, some of that stuff is true. What you heard of, but I am not like other skinwalkers you may have heard of. I am one of the good kind. Like I said. A rare breed. I was born with this condition that I can change into any animals. That was before the war started."

"Oh," Kit responded still thinking and continued, "I don't understand. Before the war? The war started a hundred years ago."

Wolf nodded with a sigh, "My name was Sik'Is. It means friend in Navajo. I am approximately two hundred and ninty years old. I was born during the 1940s in a Navajo reservation. It was so long ago I was confused and awkward during my adolescent years, but I came around a long time ago. My grandfather taught me much about the world we live in and I have learned a great deal from my ancestors. I am thankful for him and his patience with me. It wasn't easy being young."

Kit looked at him with a surprised look and gulped responding, "Whoa. You don't look old to me."

"Hah, thank you," Wolf huffed a bit responding with a light laugh. Kit giggled and cuddled closer to him still curious about him, "What happened to you during the war? How did you meet with Cade?"

Wolf continued with his tale as he reminisced on the past, "At the start of the war a hundred years ago, there weren't many of my brothers or sisters alive of the Navajo heritage. I was drafted among many others to war. There was no choice. Only the strong had to fight and those that couldn't fight still participated in the war as war medics or pursued other non-combat duties. In the turn of the century of the war, I met Cade twenty-five years ago when he saved me from an ambush started by the enemy. I was mortally wounded and near death. You'd think I would be immortal if I lived for a long time, but I can still die. It was just a matter of how. While I was on the snow bleeding out and in front of the enemy, I prayed for the spirits to release my soul. Skylar Cade rushed in with his reinforcements and managed to drive the enemy away. I was the only one out of my brigade to survive and I owed him a life debt. Since then, we fought side by side till the war's end and I kept my promise to stay with him. Even though he released me from the debt, I still scouted for him."

Wolf let out a sigh and continued, "Ever since the bomb cut through the atmosphere fifteen years ago, my skinwalking ability mutated and I gained animal sight. I had the ability to create manifestations of many animals used for scouting out the enemy or the intended path. One advantage of that ability is no one can see my manifestations, but sometimes I will allow a certain person or enemy to see my animal manifestation for defense or offense."

Kit nodded and yawned with an mm-hmm. Wolf looked at her and touched her hair as he spoke, "Well, enough about me. How about you? Are you an Abnormal or just a regular human?"

Kit blew a puff of air as her strand of hair was blown to her side. She responded, "Well, aside from my knack survival skills, I guess I am an Abnormal too. I can go through walls. My mother calls it a phasing ability. Something about my molecules shifting to merge with the wall and come out of the other side whole."

Wolf looked surprised as Kit sat up and looked at her hand. She looked at Wolf and smiled as she placed her hand on the wall, "Watch."

Her hand suddenly merged with the wall as she placed her hand through. The Navajo looked impressed as he responded, "Impressive."

Kit nodded and continued as she took his hand, "I can also touch the person and phase them along with me through a wall or any thin surfaces, really. I can't do it on solid ground or wall, but only through thin surfaces like through a door or a sewer if we needed to. My mother called my ability special and it helped the both of us survive the wasteland as well as hiding from the people who was searching for us."

She stopped for a bit sad as she looked down placing her hand on the navy strand of hair tucking it behind her ear. Wolf looked at her with concern as he gently squeezed her hand responding, "What do you mean? What happened?"

Kit shrugged shaking her head, "I don't know. It happened right after the war was over. I was five and unaware of my ability then. My mother and I was captured by some scary looking guys in black armor and yellow goggled visors. I don't remember it much but they took us to a scary place. I forget the name. We were processed and sent to be inspected by a man who called himself Crimson. I was scared, but my mother. She kept me close. Protecting me. I was in that place for six months until my ability started manifesting. One of the guards pulled a gun on my mother and fired while she was holding me. Somehow the bullet passed her but she knew what it was. So she ran. Whatever energy she had left, she kept running through the walls while holding me close because my ability is what saved her from death."

She gulped and continued, "I didn't understand what was going on for a long time until she explained what my ability was. I was only five and my ability manifested early because I was scared for my mother. Emotional. Since then, we have been on the run from Crimson or anyone with that dark aura. My mother had an ability to sense auras from anyone that she sees and she recognized Crimson for what he is as well as the people who worked for him."

Wolf nodded and responded, "I see. I am happy you and your mother survived that encounter. Have you ever seen who Crimson is or was?"

Kit shook her head still a little scared, "I never did. He always wore that armor whenever he comes out but nothing else. I was only five. I didn't remember anything."

Wolf sighed and reassured her, "Well, do not worry. I will protect you from anyone who harms you. I promise you. You will never have to be scared anymore. Just call my name and I will summon any guardian to come to your aid."

Kit smiled at him feeling a lot better and hugged him closely. They sat there for a bit as the sun had completely gone down bringing the air to darkness. Lights were shining bright around him. He had almost nodded off when his sense warned him. Letting out a snarl, he moved forward startling Kit a bit as she spoke wondering, "What is it?"

Wolf placed his hand on her shoulder as he spoke while getting up, "Stay here. I sense someone approaching fast to our location."

Kit gasped feeling a little scared as the cold wind rushed into the barn. Wolf tensed a bit looking at both ends of the barn. Even the horses shifted a bit in their step. Suddenly both doors was banged open as some people entered the barn. Vixen's mercenaries. One of them spoke, "Easy Wolf. You're surrounded!"

Wolf bared his fangs at them with an angry snarl while keeping the girl behind him protectively. He responded feeling a bit threatened, "You stay away from us. We will remain here till Cade returns."

The same merc responded, "Whether Cade returns or not isn't up to us. Vixen sent for us and we will not decline her request. Come."

Wolf continued to growl as Kit looked at both of them. Grabbing Wolf's arm, she pulled him through the thin barn wall. Wolf felt his entire body tingle as he was phased through the wall of the barn. Off guard and surprised but feeling good about it otherwise, he responded taking her hand and ran a few steps away from the barn. There were shouts coming from the barn and more mercs came toward them. However, soon as they managed a few steps forward, they were stopped by a strong, buff woman pointing a Lancer MK2 rifle at them. It had a crimson stained chainsaw bayonet attached to it.

He continued to scowl at the buff female mercenary. Her muscles were thick and her armor was heavy with some blood stains on it. Her medium thick blond hair was hanging over to one side. Some were braided and the other side of her head was shaved. Several longer braided strands were longer than her blond hair. Her face was covered with some scars and her brow was creased with anger as she scowled at him with fury. She had a metal eye patch over her left eye with a long gash cut across it.

Kit whimpered a bit scared of her as she hid behind Wolf. Wolf bared her fangs at her with one singular world, "Fury…"

Fury moved forward an inch as Wolf raised his hand and shouted with almost a roar, "Stay back!"

As if summoned, a wolf jumped in front of her and snarled with foam coming out of its mouth. She cocked her head and scowled back with fury. Several more mercs took their place surrounding the trio offering them no escape. Kit stayed behind but kept her hand on his arm giving him a tingling feeling of his body still being out of phase. Fury let out a snarl as she responded, "Vixen wants you two to come along unharmed. I do not want to have to hurt you, but I will."

Wolf shook his head and spoke with a snarl, "What happened to you, Fury? You didn't used to work for Vixen. What changed?"

Fury shook her head and turned her weapon down at the wolf. She fired one shot taking it out as it vanished into the mist. Wolf groaned grabbing his head as he fell to one knee. He was in pain. Kit gasped and shouted at her, "Stop it!"

The strong woman responded with a growl aiming her weapon again at Wolf's head, "Do not make me repeat. I don't need you alive either, but Cerberus wants the girl. So either you come or I will shoot you, drag your corpse along with the girl and take you to her. She will not be happy when I come empty handed. Dead or Alive, I am still getting paid either ways."

Kit kept her fear down and attempted to speak as she spoke out toward Fury, "You can't scare me. I got my friend protected from your bullets as they can't hurt us."

Wolf touched Kit on the shoulder as Fury let out a scoff looking at one of her mercs. She beckoned one of them over and lowered her weapon. The merc responded, "Shall I take the girl away?"

Fury gathered spit and spat on the ground as she shook her head gathering all her rage in one place. Her lips curled in fury as she stared into the merc standing near Kit. All of a sudden the merc let out a yowl of pain recoiling his body. He was being boiled alive inside as all of his blood seemed to get hotter inside his skin. Boiling. Kit gasped with fear as Wolf quickly covered her away from the merc's screams of agony.

The mercenary collapsed onto the ground as his body was riddled with blisters and burned scarred tissue. He was still smoking. Kit whimpered softly as she started to cry and Wolf let out a snarl at Fury responding, "What did you have to do that for in front of a kid? She was only twelve."

Fury shrugged not caring as she pointed her weapon again at Wolf, "So? Vixen told me what Cerberus told her. That the girl's special and so is her ability. My bullets may pass through you, but I never tried out my ability on you yet by boiling you alive. You don't wanna know, but if you keep persisting on making me wait then I will try it out on you. Now, the more she stays outside, the risk for those that are looking for her will increase. So I don't really care one way or the other, but as long as I'm being paid to bring both of you to the boss then I am happy to do so. So do not try my patience again. Walk!"

Wolf let out a snarl and picked Kit up. He walked toward the Hellfire Club with the mercs staying close to them. One of them was carrying some of their bags. Kit continued to whimper in fear hugging him close and trying to hide away from Fury's scowl. She was staring at the kid scornfully and with hate. As they were led through the complex, some of the mercs broke off the formation. The back door was opened for Wolf as he entered through still carrying Kit.

The last two merc dropped the bags next to Fury and she picked both of them up with ease as if she had super strength. She grunted heavily placing both packs onto her back and followed them inside through the back door toward Vixen's waiting room. She placed the pack near the desk and walked out through the other door closing it behind her.

Kit gasped a little bit still crying, but Wolf gently dried her tears as he responded, "Hush now, Kit. You're safe. She's gone."

She responded still a little bit petrified of her, "She hurt you! She's mean. What did she do to that guy?"

Wolf responded holding stroking the top of her hand, "Her power comes from her rage. And from her boiling hatred for her certain dislike of people her ability is activated. In doing so and all of that power she can boil people alive from the inside of their body. She can even boil the sweat off a person's skin or any liquid around her, really. She can also boil her own body to keep herself warm so that she never gets cold. However, her power doesn't work when she is cooled by something else or her inner body temperature is below zero degrees. That is her ability, but I have never seen her do that to the extreme. She wasn't so hateful before."

Kit studied him a bit and inquired, "What do you mean?"

Wolf shrugged and explained, "She was the main leader of her little band of Mercenaries and hardcore Criminals. A biker group known as Blood Vengeance. She and her band was known across this part of the world from California to the eastern side of this continent. They respected her and she takes care of them. All they care about was working for blood money as long as there was some killings done. However, she wasn't always a killer. There was one person she respected most of all. One. Skylar Cade. They knew each other for quite a long time until they had a falling out a year ago."

Kit stared at him with wide open eyes curious, "What happened?"

Wolf continued, "A year ago, she started working for Cerberus through Vixen. Vixen paid her to lead a small band of her own mercs, the Blood Vengeance, through a nearby town known as Dalton. It's only across the border along Nevada and it's such a small town that no one really knows about. She paid her to raze the entire town in search for one person. It didn't matter who got in her way. As long as she was getting paid in blood money, she would slaughter an entire town. She finally found the person, but the person resisted using his ability. Turned himself into steel that deflected most of her bullets."

He let out a sigh and spoke shaking his head, "You do not want to know what came next. Fury has a chainsaw for a bayonet in the end of her rifle and it cuts through mostly anything. She killed her target because Vixen never really specified whether Cerberus wanted him dead or alive. So, basically, Cade had a problem with her doing that and cut ties with her because of her bloodiness. He and I realized how cold she had gotten. Cade was telling me how well they knew each other. He never said it specifically, but he had great respect for her. Once."

"Oh," Kit shook her head looking down. They sat there for a bit as someone entered the room and offered them refreshment. Soon as she exited, Wolf looked up seeing Cade enter with a surprised look on his face. He got up as Cade approached them.

Meanwhile, Fury was still waiting outside of the room across the hall from Cerberus's dark, secret hallway. Her weapon was still lowered and hanging from her belt. Her furious eyes was still burned into the back of the door. As Vixen opened the door and entered through, she saw Fury waiting for her. Letting out a smile, she purred as she casually walked toward her. Taking the money from her pocket, she placed the pouch on Fury's outstretched hand and gazed back at her furious eye while stroking her cheek.

She continued to purr as the strong woman placed her other hand on Vixen's back and moved her closer to her body. They embraced with a kiss as the feline female trailed her claw across the side of Fury's shaved head. Fury responded with a slight growl keeping her forehead touching Vixen's forehead, "Do you need me again for tonight?"

"No, not tonight," Vixen purred as she moved back and stroked her medium sized bicep while licking her fangs. She kissed Fury again on the cheek and touched the braids on her hair as she looked at her again continuing, "So, how did it go with the girl and the skinwalker? Did they give you any trouble?"

Fury let out a snarl shaking her head, "No trouble at all. However, I killed a mercenary to show the girl what I could do."

Vixen let out a sigh shaking her head and piercing her cheek with her claw as she responded, "Oh Kyra. What a waste. You didn't need to do that in front of the girl. At least you did your job as you were told. Do you intend to leave the body for the scavengers?"

Fury let out a growl curling her lips with disgust and responded, "No one tells me what I shouldn't do, Selene. I do what I want in my own way. Now, I shall ask again. Are you available again tonight? I require your services."

Vixen smiled and purred as she shook her head kissing her again, "Oh no. I am reserving the pleasure for a special person who is here for me."

Fury's quick mind was forming what she was saying and she let out a growl all of a sudden punching her arm across Selene's chest. She bashed her against the wall and took out her knife as she flicked it open. Vixen gasped with a little fear as the angry Fury began to put pressure against her throat while speaking harshly, "Cade is here? I only sent for Wolf and Kit because Cerberus wanted them in his house. You never said anything about Cade! Or sleeping with him!"

Vixen gasped trying to speak but Fury interrupted her still talking as she threatened her with the knife, "I know of your relationship with Cade, but now I should probably put a stop to it. I will kill you. Right here, right now."

The feline humanoid gasped trying to speak, "You can't. Cerberus won't allow it. He can stop you."

Kyra/Fury sneered at her as she spat, "He can try, but he hasn't yet because he knows how much I am of use to him. Perhaps I should just kill you and take over the duties of being his right hand instead. I am immune to his mind control cause you know why? It's my rage. Uncontrollable rage that I have hidden inside me. So let him try it. He won't stop me."

Vixen gasped with fear and closed her eyes as she could feel the prick of Kyra's knife against her throat. Suddenly, Cerberus's thoughts echoed within Vixen as she let out a breath of sigh opening her eyes. Taking her hand, she stroked Kyra's shaved section of her head with her claws as she responded gulping a lump on her throat where the blade was pressed against, "Do not kill me, Kyra. I beg of you. Cerberus has a job for you…"

She gasped painfully as Kyra let out a growl nicking her throat slightly while pressing against her chest and lifting her up against the wall with her strength. The metallic wall behind her curved as it groaned against her push. Fury spat while licking the blood off her blade, "Tell me and I might forget Cade was ever here. Give me something to do other than standing around doing nothing while you f…"

Vixen gasped painfully and whispered interrupting her words as she knew what she was going to say next, "Find Odin Kain. Take however many mercenaries you can take with you. He is behind his payments for the third time."

Fury sneered at her as she let go of her. Vixen gasped with pain touching the ground again. Putting her knife away, she clenched her fist with a snarl as her muscle power expanded a bit and rammed a punch against Vixen's abs. Vixen groaned falling to her knees as Kyra walked away through another direction. Selene/Vixen closed her eyes and collected her energy go push aside the pain before getting up. Cerberus tingled her mind again to summon Cade once again so she walked toward the door and opened it beckoning Cade toward her.

Meanwhile in that same room once Cade was finished talking with Wolf and walked toward Vixen, Wolf sat back down with Kit. He noticed her drifting off to sleep so he moved over to her and let her rest on his shoulder. Vixen approached both of them and smiled as she spoke, "You must be tired. I have a room ready for both of you."

Wolf snarled at her as he shook his head, "No thank you. We will not sleep in a room that's been occupied by whores."

Vixen let out a snarl as she grabbed the table, her claws punching several holes into the table. Her other claw was stroking her chest. She spat flashing her fangs, "You will not disrespect me again by calling me a trollop! I am a Companion as is all of my servant boys and girls are. No, I had the room cleaned with fresh sheets. Untainted. It's only for one night and the girl looks like she needs some sleep."

Wolf stared at her and inquired, "Complete privacy? No interruptions?"

Vixen shook her head and took the key out as she tossed it to Wolf, "Correct. None. And it's only for one night. The next day, you, Kit and Cade will leave my club for a job and you will not come back unless he summons you or you are finished."

Wolf nodded picking Kit up and letting her sleep, "Sounds good to me. Night."

She waited until they left the room. Suddenly she gasped in pain as she closed her eyes and wept softly sitting down. Her chest still hurt from Kyra's punch. Taking a few more breaths, she closed her eyes and let out an exhale opening her eyes again. She stopped crying and used her pain as a source of her anger pushing it aside. She continued to growl using her own fury to make herself better.

It took her about five minutes of sitting down, then she got up as summoned by Cerberus. Slowly with a casual smile, the feline humanoid walked toward the door as the door unlocked and slowly opened.

Fury was leaning against the doorway to outside. In front of her were motorcycles parked. Some were being refueled while others were being brushed. The cold offered a small shiver down her neck so she took out a small pack of cigarillo. Taking one out, she pulled out a lighter. On it side was a Blood Vengeance tattoo pained in dark crimson blood. Flicking it open, she moved the flame on the end of the small cigar. Flicking it close, she placed it away as she placed the small cigar into her mouth.

She walked forward to a small band of her mercenaries and responded as they listened to her, "Summon the others. We have a job to do."

One of them scowled back at her with a nod asking her, "What is it?"

"Find Odin Kain," she responded blowing a puff of smoke as she went to her motorcycle.

Some of the men smirked and nodded as they dispersed. Fury went to her own cycle and brushed her hand through her medium blond hair as she let out a light snarl looking up toward the security camera. She scowled at it shaking her head. Blowing another puff of her small cigar, she gathered some more spit and spat on her side as the smoke rushed out of her mouth. Unclicking her weapon, she placed her heavy rifle on the side of her bike. Picking out the leather gloves, she placed them on and started her cycle. It was full on the tank. Satisfied, she moved out of her parking space to be followed by several of her Blood Vengeance mercs backing her up. On the back of her armor was her Blood Vengeance tattoo with the skulls and crossbones. The wind blew across her hair and braids as she and her mercs continued riding during the night with their lights on showing the way.
