Victor, knowing the kids would be disturbed from their mission, didn't call a meeting afterwards. He did call Tracy, Kurt and Vienna however, to report the information they had gathered. The three looked sullen, even Vienna, the one who was the most adept at hiding her emotions looked like she hadn't slept in several days. The trio was dead silent as they approached Victor at the front and sat down on one of the couches. He noticed how Tracy and Vienna both cuddled into Kurt's arms like he was their life line. Deciding it was time to speak, the tall blonde turned to the pure white woman.

"What didja find Vienna?" She looked up at him, her downcast head rising.

"They have multiple bases around the U.S., along with Canada. There were snippets of things that indicated they were considering moving over seas." The snow colored hair woman curled back into Kurt's fuzzy, blue fur quickly. Guessing that was all the information she had found he turned to Kurt next.

"What about you fuzzy?" Victor gestured at the blue man briefly, catching his attention.

"Ze computa that I vent through did not have much information on other labz, just ze experimentz inside ze lab itself." Kurt frowned now, his brows drawing together. Tracy comforted him by rubbing the back of his neck soothingly.

"Go on." Sabretooth ordered, sharp, blue eyes scanning the other man's face. Kurt sighed deeply.

"Ze things that da children must go through for training are horrible, ze basically torture them. Pushing their limits to ze test. Most die young, few survive." He appeared to be finished so he collapsed against the couch, head lowered. He then curled into Tracy's warm embrace and held her close to him.

"Tracy." Her name on Victor's lips made her raise her head. Her normally bright, amber eyes were now a dull brown, speaking the tortures she had seen in the laboratory complex.

"There was only one survivor from the experiments, that was the one you've already met. The scientists don't appear to be experimenting on them anymore, their breeding soldiers." She informed her mentor telepathically. "If one denies their orders they..." She couldn't finish the sentence but instead sent him images out of her memory, mostly pictures of the children that she had to kill to end their pain. Victor growled in anger from the images, he had always been an assasin. But he avoided missions where he'd have to end a child's life. He had only done it a couple times and had regretted every moment.

"That it?" He questioned after he gained control over his emotions. Tracy shook her head no.

"These kids aren't being bred from other mutants or humans from the complex, they're being stripped from families. Usually at an early age, some from birth, others as old as ten." She shuddered in horror as she curled back up into Kurt's comforting warmth. The tall blonde man stared at the three young adults gathered before him and frowned.

"Go get some sleep, I'll see what I can do." He ordered them. Gratefully they all stood up as one and exited the room. He waited until he could no longer hear their footsteps outside of the room before rising from his seat and heading through another door leading into a dark hall. The walls were black, only glittering, red lights on the wall could guide a normal person. However, Sabretooth's enhanced eyesight allowed him to walk through the hall without fear of bumping into something or walking into the wall. A deep red door opened up easily under his command and allowed him entrance into an equally dark room. He closed the door behind himself as he stepped fully into the room and then opened a door in front of him leading himself out of the closet and into his bedroom. Closing the closet doors Victor walked towards the window where his wife was standing and looked outside with her. He could feel her probing in his mind, searching for information. He didn't stop her. She could be more secretive about her probing but she let him be aware of her presence in his mind so he wouldn't be caught unawares by her knowledge of all that happened to him.

"Things are getting more muddled I see." Dezra off handedly commented, gold eyes watching intently at the outdoors. "What will we do now?" She questioned him softly, voice just barely over a whisper. She then turned to her husband, her eyes now watching his blue ones. He frowned, brow creasing.

"I don't know." His deep voice rumbled through his chest. His wife stood there for a moment longer before throwing herself in his embrace, slender arms wrapping around his chest. In return the tall man wrapped his own thick arms around her upper body, pulling her close to him.

"I don't want children to suffer Victor." Dezra mumbled against his chest. He growled in answer. She dropped her arms from his body and he lowered his hands to her slim waist and lifted her up. Her face was now level with his, she quickly wrapped her strong legs around his waist and laid her head against his shoulder. While she nuzzled her face into his neck he wrapped her long, red hair around one of his hands. Victor gently pulled her hair, signalling her to lift her head up. Her gold eyes met with his blue ones warily.

"We're gonna do our best ta save these kids Dez', never doubt that." Once spoken he pressed his lips to hers roughly. Their kiss was passionate and comforting, lips fused together. When they finally pulled apart Victor started to place kisses down her chin, neck, and upper chest. His red haired wife moaned in pleasure from his attention. A knock at the door disrupted their moment and caused the blonde man to growl in annoyance.

"Later lover." Dezra whispered against his lips before kissing him softly one last time. Setting her down, he went to open the door while she fixed her hair and straightened her clothing. The door was pulled open by an irate Sabretooth quickly, his sharp, blue eyes meeting bright green ones.

"Grandpa, Gabe's friend is being mean to me!" Young Alexandra complained, dark hair pulled back into a braid. Victor remembered that Gabriel had invited some friends over for the day, his friends were the same age as he was, young and frustrating.

"Alrigh', where is th' rascal?" He asked with a sigh. The child looked absolutely jubilant as she gripped his hand and pulled him through the hall and down the stairs to the living room. Gabe and his friend were sitting on the couch playing a video game, completely unaware of the large man in the room. As if to demonstrate how she was being treated, Alexandra sat down next to the boys and almost immediately, the boy next to Victor's son started yanking on the girl's hair with his free hand.

"Ow!" The little girl squealed indignantly. With heavy footsteps the tall blonde walked over to the two boys and switched off the game with the push of a button. As one the young boys turned towards Victor and smiled.

"Hi dad." Gabe greeted his father with a broad grin, sharp, white teeth flashing in the light. The other boy wasn't as social. He muttered a quick 'hello' under his breath and let go of Alexandra's hair. "Somethin' wrong?" His red haired son asked. In answer Victor walked over to his friend and crossed his arms in front of the couch.

"What's yer name boy?" He added a growl to his words just to appear more menacing. A flash of fangs could be seen when he spoke and the child audibly gulped.

"Aaron sir." He replied quietly, his brown eyes wide with fear. Alexandra giggled wildly for a minute before speaking.

"Oh boy, you're gonna get it now!" A glare from her father had her running for the stairs before he could start on her next. Aaron looked like he was about to wet himself so Victor lowered the amount of menace he used. Instead of standing he crouched down next to the couch and inspected the boy with his blue eyes.

"Why didja yank on 'er hair?" He asked, voice rumbling this his chest. Aaron giggled before leaning close to whisper in the man's ear.

"She's cute!" Victor couldn't help but chuckle at the little boy's answer. Pulling back he grinned.

"Yeah, she is." He agreed with him. "She's my smallest daughter, I love her very much." His menacing look appeared for a moment before the grin returned. "Try poking her in the sides instead." The large man suggested conspiratorially. The smile that spread across the brown haired boy's face nearly lit up the room.

"Thanks mister!" Stepping away from the couch, Victor headed upstairs to talk to his youngest daughter.
