The Blood rains down on us like Champagne [VICTOR]

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix looked at the fake Jean standing before her. She wasn't stupid, she knew that it wasn't the real Jean because she was sleeping inside her head. There was no way that she could be outside. The man had disappeared and her eyes fell on the fake Logan. She laughed a bit as she studied him. Victor would not be fooled by it either. It didn't even smell like him either.

How the hell did she even get into this mess? Her eyes fell onto Victor. It was all his fault. If it wasn't for him she wouldn't have even been in the park. If she hadn't of met him he wouldn't have rejected her, she wouldn't have been angry and she wouldn't have been in the park to kill that couple to relieve her anger. Then she wouldn't have been in this stupid situation. Her eyes filled with anger as she stared at the man next to her. He was probably amused by this whole situation. Her on the other hand was not. She wanted to kill that stupid little pipsqueak who put them there.

"This is all your fault, Victor. How the hell are we going to get out of here?"

[Victor Creed]

Victor nearly laughed as he saw the fake Logan put infront of him. Really? He was supposed to fight that? That was supposed to get a reaction out of him? No, he needed the real thing...

Wait..what was that? His attention turned to Phoenix with an arched brow, "My fault?" He just stared at her for a moment then rolled his eyes. "It's not like we're in a cage or something."

He headed in the other direction then, not looking at her again while he moved away from Rhyme. He wasn't going to give into the woman's tantrum."His powers only work in a certain area." He knew a lot about the 'music wonder' thanks to the man that was the next in line for leadership of the brotherhood. Not to mention it wouldn't be the first time he fought with the man. But he knew that he was fragile , so if he wasn't going to put up much of a fight neither was he. "Might as well ignore him. He's not worth it." Perhaps he was going for a nerve, irritate Rhyme enough to reappear so he could slice him to ribbons. At least that way they wouldn't have to chase stupid fake people around.

[Jean Grey]

"Yes, your fault. I know we're not in a cage I'm not stupid. Its just the annoyance of it all. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in this mess."

The Phoenix glared at Victor as he started to walk away. She hated being ignored and he was just walking away from her. She clenched her fist. It wasn't the fact that she was annoyed. It was the fact that someone was trying to annoy her because they were too cowardice to show their faces and fight like a real man.

Victor on the other hand right now was annoying her even more than Rhyme was with this stupid fake Jean and Logan. Did he really think that they would both fall for that? She walked after Victor. She might as well leave the area. She couldn't stand looking at the doe eyed Jean Rhyme had come up with. She hated sharing a body with her and being hidden away half the time. It was like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. But one thing popped into her mind just then. Something she had almost forgotten. The Wish.

"So. The wish."

[Victor Creed]

That was a little enertaining. She was irritated and pissed off and then she reminded him about that little wish bet that they had. And all the while Rhyme was left to pick up the pieces of mayhem they had left behind.

Victor lashed out to her then. It was familiar enough as he grabbed for her head and grasped her hair into his hand. A growl rumbling in his chest before he answered her statement. "I wish...to.." It was then that he noticed that there was anotehr bruise fading on her neck. And he knew that it wasn't the one he had left the last time they were together. He had to hold back a laugh as the thought of Logan came to mind. Silly Runt. Perhaps he would have to find him himself. He figured Logan would have been the one to hunt him down first by now.

"To renew my claim.." He growled to her again as he leaned his head in to take in that familiar scent of hers, which he also picked up that hint of Logan as well. Yea the Runt was going to pay for ignoring his attempt to piss him off.

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix felt his claws in her hair once more. If she wasn't careful he would scalp her one of these days. But she loved it. She loved the pain that it came with and his dominating nature. She loved how he growled at her and tried to make her submissive. But that just wasn't in her nature. She had a dominant personality and she loved to show it. She liked to act like she was submissive sometimes but at the end of the day she was a dominant woman.

She felt him lower his head to her neck and take in her scent. It wouldn't be long before he would try and claim her. But here was the question running through her head. Would she let him or would she reject him like he had rejected her? The possibilities were endless with either choice. If she let him she knew that she would have a sleepless night full of sex, pain, and more blood. If she rejected him she was more than likely to make him mad and he would either leave or take her by force. She would fight back at first but she knew she would give in in the end because of the lust he brought out in her.

Her decision was made and as he went to pull her closer she used her powers to push him off of her and against a tree. She held him there for a little while as she walked up to him. She smiled a wicked grin as she looked him in the eyes. She found it amusing that he thought he could claim her so easily.

"You think I would let you claim me so easily? You're funny,Victor."

She let him down off of the tree and started to walk away as she shook her head and laughed at his actions. Now was the moment where she would wait and see what he would do next.

[Victor Creed]

The force that was given to push him away from her made him growl. But this was a different growl, this one was angry. How dare she hold him against a tree like that.

Granted if he thought about this logically, she did seem like a stronger mutant than himself. So it would be smart not to start a fight. But then that would mean that Victor would have to take a hit to his pride...and that just wasn't a possibility.

There was the possibility of just leaving, ignoring her and walking off. It would probably make the woman mad, which was what he was going for, but then it could also make him look weak. As if he was backing down to her. Hmph.

He rushed her as she walked away. Rule number one, never turn your back on an animal. He slammed into her, and had his hand planted on her head to keep her down while his knee was pressed down onto the small of her back. He had plenty of opportunity just to kill her right then, certainly that would get Logan's attention. But there was something in him that would have trouble ending the life of such a strong woman. Or at least the essense of one, given that this wasn't really Jean that he was dealing with. "I've already done it Darlin'."

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix knew she shouldn't turn her back on him but she knew he was there. As he slammed into her she felt his knee in her back and his hand holding her head down. She smiled as he said he had already claimed her. Now that was funny. If anyone had been claimed it was him. She hadn't killed him yet and she liked his company. She had claimed him as her's.

She let him think that he was the dominant one and she was giving into him for a couple of minutes. Until she got sick of sitting there. She used her powers once again and pushed him off of her. She watched him land on the ground and soon she was sitting on top of him, her hand on his chest and her powers holding him down. There was no doubt that the Phoenix was stronger than him but she liked to let him think that he was stronger.

She ran her hand down his cheek, her nail cutting into him and making him bleed. She watched as it healed up then she lifted her finger to her mouth and tasted his blood. She leaned in closer until she was right next to his ear. Her auburn hair falling like a curtain around them. She whispered softly into his ear as her power lifted up a bit just enough for him to move. Not as fast as he usually was but fast enough.

"It is I who have claimed you."

[Victor Creed]

Victor growled to her in a more seductive manner once she leaned down. It seemed he either forgot or chose to forget that she just tossed him like some rag doll. Wouldn't be the first time he'd been flung around by a telepath. But her body ontop of him was rather distracting.

"Is that so? But I'm the only one that's left a mark." He reached his hands up to grasp her hips, purposely squeezing them to induce a bit of pain upon that healing wound. She'd have a damnedable time trying to claim him in such a way. It would be impossible with the way his body healed. And it seemed she enjoyed that fact when he watched her taste his blood.

He took what leverage she gave him to roll over and bring himself to loom over her. "You think you can claim an animal like myself?" A slight snarl came to his lips, more to remind her exactly who she was dealing with more than anything. "I don't do the tame thing Darlin'. You want that then stay with the Runt." Perhaps this little conversation was going a little more deep than he intended but that would be up to how she took what he said.

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix grimaced as he squeezed her hips. The still healing wound cracked a bit under the pressure of his hands and sent pain through her abdomen. It riled her up even more than she already was. She looked down at him. It was true that she hadn't left a mark on him but she couldn't physically leave a mark on him. He healed too fast for a scar to form. She would figure out a way though. Maybe the fire of the Phoenix would leave a mark. It was different from actual fire and had different qualities. She would have to try it soon to see if it worked.

The next thing she knew she was staring up at him as he loomed over her body. A snarl crossed his face trying to show her who the dominant one was. She would let him be dominant right now jut because she loved his animal side. He was right he didn't do the tame thing and she really thought that he couldn't. When he mentioned her staying with Logan she snarled back at him. Logan was Jean's not hers. Phoenix couldn't stand him and if she had a chance she would rip his head off. She looked up at Victor and smiled a sultry smile.

"I wouldn't want you any other way. I love the animal in you. I don't think you could ever be tamed. And who would want to?"

Phoenix ran her hands up his well toned chest and around his neck. She dug her nails into his skin rather deeply and pull him down to meet her lips.

[Victor Creed]

Phoenix fire? Maybe. Victor had been burned to a nice crisp more than once before and lived to tell about it. Not to mention the lack of scars from that endevor. His healing factor has been through quite a lot and yet he still managed to get up. Must be frustrating for his foes.

Those amber eyes looked down at her, almost as if he was trying to figure her out. Was this Phoenix person in this girl's head really the type of woman she seemed to be? A girl like her he could get to like. But then again he has been with girls like her and it always ended badly. Not that this couldn't end badly. After all he still thought about skinning her and hanging her up to dry somewhere. But that was probably due to the attachment Wolverine had to her.

Then he heard her words, a little surprised that she said what she said. Someone actually loved the animal in him? That was new. And before he knew it his lips were upon hers again. What was with this woman? Whatever it was it seemed like it was going to be bad for him. Oh well, might as well enjoy the fun while it lasted.

And the fun in the park wasn't going to last much longer as sirens started to sound in the background. Victor pulled his lips from hers with a smirk. "Perhaps we should make ourselves scarce."

[Jean Grey]

The sirens were sounding in the distance. It wouldn't be long until the police were here to clean up the mess that her and Victor had made. She was surprised that it had taken this long for them to get here. Weren't the police supposed to be fast? Oh, well it wasn't her problem. Phoenix nudged Victor off of her and stood up looking around one last time at the many bodies, or what was left of bodies, that surrounded them. It really was a work of art and she was glad to be a part of it. She wished the rest of the world looked like this. It would be more fun that way.

They needed to find a place to go. She couldn't really take him back to the Mansion with her. That was just a bad idea all around. Yes it would be amusing to see the reaction on everyone's faces especially Logan's. But the Phoenix wasn't even supposed to be here. She was supposed to be gone. Killed after Logan had killed jean the last time. She walked a few steps and looked back to see if Victor would come with her. She wasn't really in the mood for sex at the moment just company and she found herself liking Victor's company. He was different from other mutants that she had come across. Different in a good way. It was rare for her to keep anyone around for this long.

"Where to?"

[Victor Creed]

Victor shrugged as she asked that question of him. "How about a drink." It was meant to be a question but he just started off in the direction she had been facing. He passed by her and just kept going ahead. Victor made it a habit to know what places were good for a drink and there was one up the block and down an alley near here. It was more of a 'biker' bar but that didn't matter to him, and he doubted that it mattered to her. It also was probably the last place the cops would look for them, at least for now. Once they realized mutants were involved they would probably call off the search and try to hide it away. They were cowards like that. Not that he really blamed them.

Victor remained quiet as they walked towards the bar he knew of. His mind was wandering with the idea of this woman being around him so much. It wasn't like him to keep the company of someone so often and he wasn't quite sure how to cope with that. But so far he was rather entertained. Might as well keep riding the boat until it capsized.

[Jean Grey]

She walked beside him towards a very rough looking bar. Bikes were lined up outside of it and there was two men fighting not too far from the entrance. Humans and their pointless fights. At least she fought for something that was important to her not for a bar tab dept or something along those lines. That was one of the reasons she hated humans. They had no sense of duty. They just jumped on things without thinking.

She glanced over at Victor as they walked into the bar. She still didn't know why she kept him around but she didn't mind it anymore. It was pure entertainment and she was highly amused. As they walked in she noticed many of the men in the bar staring at her as she found a seat in a corner of the bar. She scoffed. Her powers wandered through to their minds. She wasn't at all surprised to find dirty thoughts running through their heads. Like she would get with any of these slime balls. She had standards and they didn't even come close to them.

One man in particular had the nerve to walk up to her. He leaned against the bar. his arms were covered in tattoos. His face had a long scar down one side. his hair was black and greasy. He had a very egotistical attitude about him. He looked won at her and smiled a stupid grin.

"Hey there, pretty lady. How bout I buy you a drink."

[Victor Creed]

Whether Victor would admit an attachment to the woman or not, he found himself irritated that the man dared to approach her. But for the moment he didn't do anything about it. He waited for the bartender and ordered a bottle of whiskey. He'd pay for the whole thing and then get two shot glasses.

Just before Phoenix had the opportunity to fully react to the human that dared to talk to her Victor appeared. He placed the shot glasses and bottle down upon the bartop next to her.

It was then that Victor turned his gazed upon the man. "Someone beat ya to it already. So beat it." Creed sneered slightly, enough to show off a pointed canine tooth at the man.

"Hey...yer one of those.." And before he could even mention the word freak or mutie or whatever was going to come out of that hicks mouth, Victor's fist had been planted in his face.

Like the lights were turned out in the man's brain he slumped to the floor. Victor used a booted foot to roll the guy over and take the spot he had been to pour them both a drink. He continued on as if nothing had just happened.

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix watched the whole scene unroll in front of her. She was just about to put the stupid human in his place when Victor had shown up and placed a bottle of whiskey in front of them. She was then surprised to see him knock the guy out. She looked over and raised an eyebrow at him. This man was surprising her more and more. She could have easily taken care of the man who had approached her but he had stepped in before she could even get a word in. But the most surprising part was that she kind of liked it. Was she getting attached?

"I could have taken care of him, ya know."

She gladly took the shot of whiskey that Victor had poured for her. She shot it back and let it warm her body. The human still lay on the floor where Victor had knocked him out cold. She didn't mind. Not like it was her problem anyways. But she still couldn't reach around the fact that she was getting slightly attached to this animal who sat next to her at the bar. But the only thing that was stopping her was this body. She hated this body. It wasn't hers. It was Jean's and it wasn't living up to par for her.
