**Repost -- maybe the whole thing will post this time?**
What? Another X-Men fanfic? Not quite - none of the X-Men appear here,
but two of my favorite Marvel Comics characters do - Sabretooth and his
"personal assisstant" Birdy. If you already know who they are, you can
skip to the next paragraph, which details exactly when in the Marvel
timeline this story occurs (as if it wouldn't be obvious from the story
itself...) Victor Creed, a.k.a. Sabretooth, is an assassin, a psychotic
killer who has taken one of the few career paths open to psychokillers in
these unenlightened times. He was originally completely remorseless, but
Marvel in its infinite wisdom has decided that major angst equals good
storylines and therefore made Sabey into a killer with a conscience (I'm
not *even* going into his connections with Wolverine, or various memory
implants, or this, that and the other). Birdy is a telepath, who Sabes
keeps around to go into his brain and put it back together after his
killing sprees, thus giving him a guilt-free violence high. I *think*
that's all the character background you need to go into this story.
The events in this story take place during the time covered by the
four-issue Sabretooth limited series, recently reprinted as the graphic
novel _Sabretooth: Death Hunt_. (Specifically, they take place between
pages 12 and 13 of the graphic novel.) Overall in the Marvel timeline,
this occurs after the events starting in _Wolverine_ #50 - concerning
the re-formation of the "old team," their training and memory implants,
and the discovery of Psi-Borg - and right before Sabes goes totally
bezerkoid and ends up in the basement of the X-Mansion, trying to find
some sort of peace.

SABRETOOTH: JUDAS KISS
by Tamara Stephens
(additional dialogue by Larry Hama :-)
Inspired by and partially adapted from
the graphic novel _Sabretooth: Death Hunt_
Larry Hama, writer Mark Texeira, artist
Birdy lies on the floor of the Jacuzzi room, stunned. Just a few moments
ago, Creed had grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and thrown her into
the hot tub he was soaking in, splashing water everywhere, and commanded
her to use her telepathic talent to perform her primary duty as his
assistant - hiding the monsters, covering up the guilt and disgust he
felt about his killing, giving him the remorseless endorphin high he
called the "glow." Rummaging around deep in Creed's brain, she had
stumbled upon deeply buried memories - memories from his childhood
concerning the roots of his psychoses. The next thing she knows is the
explosion of pain from Creed's fist connecting with her head.
"Don't be wastin' that good stuff on no phantoms out o' the past! I need
that glow, Birdy. I need ya to take away the pain..." He hoists his
massive, well-built frame out of the Jacuzzi, grabs a towel, wraps it
around his hips and starts out of the room. He half-turns around on the
stairs, speaks around his cigar. "Get yer butt up to m'room, once you've
finished cleaning up this mess." He indicates the water-splashed room
behind her with a jerk of his head and continues on up the staircase,
adjusting the towel wrapped around his waist.
*Yeah, Boss. Sure, Boss. Whatever you say, Boss.* Birdy rolls to a
sitting posture, shoots a sneer at Creed's retreating back. She pulls
off her thigh-high boots and defiantly pours what feels like several
gallons of water from each boot onto the floor. Creed's voice drifts
back down the stairs.
"I heard that. Just that much more to mop up, girl!"
He's right. The small flutter of satisfaction isn't really worth it, but
she's not willing to admit it. She hauls herself up from the floor and
surveys the room. *This is the last night I'll ever have to do shit like
this again,* she thinks. *And the bastard up there doesn't even know
it.* One side of her full mouth twists up in a sardonic grin. *Yes,
I've sold you out, you son of a bitch. Just a few more hours and you're
outta here.* She doesn't know what will happen to him after the strike
team grabs him, and she tells herself she doesn't care.
Her close-fitting uniform is soggy and starting to feel clammy. Birdy
peels it off; the stretch fabric resisting her efforts like a wet
swimsuit does. She fights it for a moment and ends up rolling the tight
cloth down her body, over her pale round breasts, down her abdomen,
yanking it over her full hips, and finally down her legs and into a
small, sad heap on the floor. *Christ,* she thinks *it's bad enough that
Wonder-Boy wants me to wear the damn boots, but I gotta have spray paint
and shoulder pads for a uniform?* Though she does concede the red and
black jumpsuit shows off her fit body and blond good looks to perfection.
Since the room, like herself, is still dripping wet, she does not bother
to towel off before slogging over to the storage closet and dragging out
the mop. She attacks the floor, taking out her frustrations with her
employer and reviewing in her mind the tasks she must perform tonight to
hold up her end of the bargain she has made to betray Creed. *One: make
sure his door is open. Two, shut off the security programs. Three, let
the strike team through the gate. Four, grab the cash and the hell out
of the country...*
She picks up her sodden uniform and throws it in the laundry chute. As
she stores the mop away, she thinks that she will miss one thing - the
danger. It's what pulled her to work for Creed in the first place,
rather than taking advantage of one of the many cushy opportunities
available for highly-rated telepaths with few ethics and no scruples.
The rush is what she craves - the endorphin-high flooding her brain when
the bullets whistle past her ear, or the Mercedes edges past a hundred
and ten on a blind curve, with the sirens just behind...
Her right hand drifts down the curve of her breast, slowing to circle her
nipple. It responds quickly, stiffening into a peak that she rolls
between her thumb and two fingers as she savors the sensation. Her other
hand wanders over her flat belly, thumb tracing her navel, and descends
into the soft blond triangle below. She rakes her nails gently through
the thatch and lightly tugs the hair as her arousal grows. Her middle
finger runs teasingly over the outer lips, not quite parting them, and
she feels her cunt beginning to dampen. She runs the hand she was
caressing her breast with over her thigh and buttocks, feeling the warmth
and softness of her skin. The middle finger of her left hand now parts
the folds it had been stroking, and sinks past the inner folds into her
warm depths. She eases it out, and circles her clit, feeling the button
respond to the invitation -
Creed's roar disturbs her reverie, "I'm waiting, Birdy! Ain't ya
finished yet?"
She reluctantly drops her hands. *No. Just getting started, damn you...*
Birdy grabs a towel from the stack in the closet, swipes at the water
left on her body and wraps it around herself. She walks out the door,
pausing to switch off the lights, and climbs the stairs towards his bedroom.
She passes throuh the reinforced steel door guarding the entrance into
Creed's room, a testament to his business and his paranoia. She slides
her fingers over it as she passes, *this precaution won't help you one
little bit tonight...,* and approaches the bed. Creed is already in it,
and he stares at her with narrowed eyes. One small instant of panic zips
though Birdy's brain (*does he know? how could he possibly know?*). She
allows herself a quick surface scan of his thoughts, and is relieved to
find nothing present but his normal psychoses.
"Come here. Take that off." He indicates her towel. She shrugs a
shoulder, "Sure, Boss," unwraps and drops it into a small heap at her
feet. His eyes trace the generous curves of her body as she approaches
the bed. She returns the favor, knowing this is the last time she'll
ever see him, running her eyes over his large, obsessively sculpted
frame. He is still smoking the end of his cigar - *I'll never have to
smell those things again,* she thinks with satisfaction - and he takes
it out of his mouth and puts it in an ashtray on the side table as she
climbs onto the bed.
He pulls aside the sheet, already tenting out by his anticipation,
exposing his half-hard cock. Although not yet ready, it is still quite
formidable and in proportion with the rest of his body. Birdy remembers
her intimidation upon first seeing him, but with time and several
journeys into his twisted psyche, she has learned contempt.
He reaches out and seizes the base of her blond ponytail, roughly pulling
her lips to his. His tongue violates her mouth, claiming it, and her, as
his own. She can feel the sharp outlines of his pointed eyeteeth and the
warmth of his breath on her cheek. Both keep their eyes open, her wary
blue eyes and his calculating green gaze locking.
He pulls her head away. "Now get down here and do yer job." His voice
rumbles like thunder, bass tones resonating through her bones, and she
lowers her head into his lap. She can smell his musky scent as she
gently takes the head of his semi-hard cock between her lips. She runs
the tip of her tongue lightly around the head, sensing its warmth, and
takes it deeper into her mouth. She wraps her hand around his shaft,
feeling it respond to stimulation, and slowly pulls the skin down,
allowing the head to emerge fully as the hood recedes.
She has a familiar fleeting thought, *I suppose a healing factor isn't
exactly convenient for circumcision-* but pushes it away and applies
herself further as his hand tightens on the back of her head.
She takes his cock out of her mouth and runs her tongue up and down the
sensitive underside, and then around the head again. Her body is
beginning to respond as well and she can feel her nipples tightening and
the dampness forming between her legs. He is fully erect now; she
nibbles lightly on the head as she runs her hand along his shaft.
Birdy is just getting into the rhythm of the motions, when he suddenly
jerks her head up and off his cock. "Enough of that." He pushes her off
of him, onto her back, and with one feline movement rolls on top between
her thighs and pushes into her depths. She shuts her eyes at the sudden
intrusion, * - you'd think I'd be used to his size, after all this time,
- * and waits the second it takes her body to adapt itself to him. She
focuses on the sensations of his cock as he drives deep into her,
widening her passage with each successive stroke.
"Yeah, bitch, that's what you've been waiting for."
Birdy's eyes slit open and a sly grin crawls across her lips. *If you
only knew, motherfucker, if you only knew...* She savors the thought,
repeating it in time with his rhythmic thrusting. Creed says, "This is
why you ain't ever leaving, huh Birdy? You ain't got the guts and you
want this too much." It's a familiar mantra, she tunes it out easily.
She feels the itch growing from a small tickle, slowly at first, then
intensifying by fits and starts. The tension spreads, rounding over her
buttocks and crawling along her thighs. Birdy knows if she tries to
stand at this moment her knees will buckle, too overwhelmed by sensation
to support her weight.
The fizzy feeling escalates, and she pumps her hips up to meet his, no
thought in her mind but the moment arriving. His sardonic amusement
filters around the edge of her consciousness but that, too, is familiar
and easy to ignore. Her awareness narrows to one point and then explodes
out, as the climax overtakes her. The muscles in her thighs tighten and
she drives her heels into the bed, lifting her hips.She throws her head
back, gasping loudly through her teeth as successive waves of pleasure
spark through her belly -
- and the moment is gone, almost as if it had never been, leaving only
lassitude (where once was fire) -
Birdy draws in a deep, shaky breath as normal consciousness returns. Her
psi-sense pushes back into her awareness. She can sense that Creed is
approaching climax, and decides to go along for the ride. Snaking a
mental feeler through one of the cracks in his defenses, she drives
through the red chaos she finds, past the monsters and the terror and the
blood, over, around, and through, until she ferrets out the sexual center
of his brain. She has to slip past the white-hot threads of pain that
are fused around and with her objective, but it is the work of a moment
to weave through the tangle and dive spiraling into the sea that awaits.
She opens mental eyes and looks through his senses, overwhelmed by the
sheer mass of sensory data available to him, whose mutant perceptions are
immensly more acute than those of normal men. It takes her a quick
second to sort the confusion into discrete sensory impressions: a scent,
her scent, musky and beguiling, mingling with his own and other faint
smells that drift through the air; the sound of his breath, slow and
strong, accented by her shallower inhalations as he starts breathing
faster, ascending the slope to climax; the feel of the sheets on his
knees and forearms, her warmth and softness under his body, the snug fit
of his cock within her tunnel and the contrast between her heat and the
cooler air with every stroke.
His eyes are closed in anticipation of the moment, and Birdy has a
fleeting thought that it is probably for the best - any more information
and she might overload. The thought disappears as she feels his muscles
tense and the torrent sweeps her up. Her body responds to the mental
stimulation, sucking in the fire, rolling it through her mind. her
breasts, her clitoris, building the momentum further and reflecting it
back into his brain. As the climax overtakes her, she momentarily loses
her identity - who is who?
He cries out at the same moment as she, her legs tightly wrapped around
his hips, his head thrown back and fingers digging into the bedclothes as
his claws spring out, ripping the sheet. She feels his flood deep in her
belly; simultaneously she experiences his shuddering release. This is as
close to the "glow" that she gives him telepathically as he can get, and
he can almost - but not quite - blank out the fear and the pain and the
blood...
The rapture passes and she reels in her telepathic line. The sudden
damping down of sensation hits her hard and she has the disconcerting
feeling of what it must be like to live head-blind, with only five meager
senses to rely on. The realization, as well as her double climax,
exhausts her, and she falls back, panting heavily.
She hears his low rumbling laughter. "I thought so. You just can't get
enough."
Reluctantly, she snaps back to life. Sweat beads trickle down and around
one full breast as she props herself up on her elbows and nonchalantly
stares Creed full in his eyes. "I faked it."
His lips twist in amusement. "Bullshit. Maybe you could fool a norm,
but you don't forget I can smell and hear and feel more than any of those
pathetic sons-of-bitches. You can't hide the signs from me, and you
can't mimic them good enough to fool me."
Birdy jerks her chin up, "Maybe I used my mind powers. Maybe I slipped
into your brain while you weren't paying attention and made you -" She
breaks off as his hand shoots out and fastens tightly around her throat.
"You almost went too far there, frail. One day -" His hand squeezes a
warning, and then abruptly lets go. She falls back, gasping, rubbing her
newly bruised throat.
Creed rolls off of her, grabbing her shoulder and pushing her roughly off
the bed. "Get out. It's been a long day. I don't want to see yer ugly
face anymore tonight." He seems to drop instantly into sleep, with the
ease of the innocent and the damned.
She picks herself up off the carpet and retrieves her towel. *You'll
never have to see my ugly face again, Mr. Creed,* she thinks. *And I'll
never have to see your ugly mind again.* She wraps the towel around her
body, tucking the top corner in over her left breast, her mind reviewing
the security codes that disable the mansion's defenses.
She stalks out of the bedroom, pulling the heavy steel door to, but not
quite latching it, and starts down the stairs toward the main computer
console and, she thinks, freedom.
Her apprehension grows as she nears the painting behind which the
terminal is hidden, but it is not enough to stop her. The hinges of the
small panel the painting is mounted on squeak as she opens it, echoing
loudly in the quiet stillness of the mansion. She freezes for a moment
and risks a small probe of Creed's surface thoughts. *Good. Sleep
patterns.* She pulls up the security program and types in the password,
bringing up the main control screen.
SECURITY SYSTEM
MAIN TOGGLE
*ON* OFF
Her finger hovers over the key. She takes a deep breath, closes her eyes
and quickly stabs her finger. The screen fills with the names of the
"party favors" salted around the house, documenting each deactivation.
Outside, the waiting mercenaries hear the quiet "ka-chung" as the gate
unlocks. "Fire teams left and right! Assault team takes the point!
Security team covers any withdrawal!" They enter swiftly.
Birdy quietly hurries to meet them, adjusting her towel. "It's okay -
he's sound asleep."
The leader dismisses her. "Just get out of the way. We'll take over
from here!"
Upstairs, in Creed's bedroom, green eyes suddenly slit open in response
to something discerned, a noise perhaps, or a scent far beyond the reach
of ordinary mortal senses...
"Huh? Somebody's in my house!" He rolls out of bed, alert, flexing his
fingers and feeling his claws slide out of their sheaths. A twisted
smile slowly blossoms on his lips.
"Ya finally got the guts, huh, Birdy? This is gonna be *fun*..."
