An Escape. [VICTOR]

[Jean Grey]

The past few days had been torture for Phoenix. Jean and Logan had been all lovey dovey ever since they had had their first night together. It made Phoenix sick to her stomach as she laid in the back of Jean's mind being forced to watch it all. She needed to find a new body and now! She couldn't deal with this anymore. She needed a night out and away from the mansion and Logan. The pitiful man who resembled Victor but was nothing like him.

She walked around Jean's room and looked though her clothes. God she was boring. She had school teacher clothes and nothing else. Phoenix took a long, black pencil skirt and a pair of scissors and cut it until it came to the middle of her thigh. The next thing was to take a tight white shirt and cut the sleeves off and the hem so her stomach showed a little bit. She took the scissors and cut some slashes in the back as well to show off her back. She brushed her hair out and put on some strappy high heels. She looked at herself in the mirror. It would have to do.

She walked out of the mansion and jumped in Jean's car. She started to drive and didn't even know she was heading to Victor's until she looked up and saw his building in front of her. She sighed and parked her car. Why she was here she had no idea. She wasn't even in the mood to kill anyone but she wanted to see Victor. Phoenix walked up the stairs and stood in front of his door. She knocked but no one answered so she entered anyways. Her powers clicked the lock and pushed the door open. He must be out either killing someone or at a bar. She walked around the place and looked at his belongings. He didn't have much. Probably because he moved around a lot. She walked over and sat down on his big bed. There was still some signs of blood stains on it which made her smile. She laid down and looked up at the ceiling as thoughts ran through her mind.

Why am I even here?

[Victor Creed]

Victor grumbled to himself as he walked up the stairs to his meager apartment. Not that he cared if it was extravagant or not. But just as he reached his door he took to taking a sniff of the air. That was a familiar scent. It made him smirk as he opened the door and closed it. He acted as if he didn't know she was there at least until he was putting up his overcoat on the hook next to the door. "I didn't think we were close enough for you to make yourself so at home whenever you felt like it."

He turned around to look at her with that dark smirk of his. He didn't mind that she was here, it was nice to see her actually. Though it didn't take him long to realize something was wrong. She seemed more tense than usual.

"You seem out of sorts. What is it?" He couldn't say that he usually cared when a woman had problems. But he figured he might as well ask before he thought more of the darker lusting ideas in his head. He stood before her, a foot or so away from the bed with his arms crossed over that massive muscular chest clad in only a plain white shirt.

[Jean Grey]

"You're looking at it. I don't think I can take this riding passenger anymore. All this Jean and Logan lovey dovey bullshit. Its making me sick. Sometimes I just wanna tear his eyes out."

Phoenix went on her little rant. She was angry there was no denying that. Her powers vibrated the bedside table just from her anger. She hadn't been this mad in who knows how long. She really did want to kill Logan though.It was his fault she had been away for so long. He had killed Jean and in turn killed her. Well put her out of commission for awhile anyways. She had returned hadn't she? But she was forced to bring Jean back with her. She needed a body to live in since she didn't have one of her own. Jean was her only chance of coming back at all.

She looked at Victor as he stood there. She was surprised that he had even asked her or even noticed that she was upset. She didn't even think that he cared for her. Which he probably didn't. He was probably just tolerating her. It was her that wanted him. She could take him right now if she so wanted to but in the state of mind she was in she would probably end up killing him and she didn't want to do that. She sat up on his bed and crossed her slender legs as she eyed him up. Even with just a white t-shirt on he sent lustful and bloody images through her head.

"Where have you been?

[Victor Creed]

His muscles were already tense but the mentioning of Jean and Logan made his muscles tighten again. He still had murderous thoughts of skinning Jean alive and leaving her for Logan to find. But then again he was partly seeing that Jean woman...well not her but just her body. He really needed to get Phoenix a real body. Maybe then he would actually be able to kill the Jean woman like he wanted to. Logan would be really upset, too bad for him. He didn't seem to care about his little calling card on the woman so perhaps even killing her wouldn't do anything.

"Dealing with some Brotherhood issues." He had just returned from his little visit to Night and Ana's home. He still wasn't too satisfied with the conclusion but he got his point across.

He walked away from that bed towards the small kitchen. He rolled his shoulers while he looked into the fridge then pulled out a bottle of water. "Want something?" It was a half hearted question, figuring that he might as well ask while he was in that room. He looked through a few cupboards to see if he had any whiskey lazing about. The water was fine but something with more of abite sounded good in his head as well.

[Jean Grey]

Phoenix continued to sit on Victor's bed. She watched him walk out and over to the kitchen. The apartment was small but it was quaint. Nothing like the mansion Jean lived in. Phoenix didn't like it though. It was too big for her. She liked small in a way. She ran her fingers through her red and and scoffed as she looked at it in her hands. She hated red hair.

"I want something you probably don't have in your fridge. A body."

She was still on her little rant and she would probably be on the rant until she got what she wanted. She wasn't even concerned if she annoyed Victor or not. She was only here because he was the only one who knew that she was really back. She had an inkling that Jean probably knew but she hated snooping around in her mind anyways. She preferred to stay inside her own.

She got up and sauntered over to the kitchen and leaned on the counter. She was purposefully showing off her new outfit she had created. It showed a lot of skin and even showed a small view of Victor's gift to her on her hip. Even if he wanted to take her right then she would deny him just for fun. Phoenix was crazy like that. She liked to see the animal inside Victor. That was why she stuck around him so much. He amused her a great deal.

"Anything interesting with the Brotherhood these days?"

[Victor Creed]

"Depends on what you consider interesting." He drank the water from the bottle, drinking half of it before he stopped and looked at her once more. He noticed the clothes she wore and the fact that they were torn and tattered on purpose. He knew how cloth looked when it was torn in a fight and that wasn't the case.

"A woman that seems rather devoted to the Brotherhood is marrying and having kids with an Xman. The idiot believes the same ideals as Xavier yet doesn't care that she wants every human dead. I refuse to allow her to double cross me." A slight growl rumbled in his chest as he thought of the ways that the woman could do it. At any hint towards treachery he would kill her without a second thought. And when Night came in for revenge, he'd die too.

But he was tired of this issue and returned to her previous thought of needing a new body. "Well there are plenty to choose from. Though I guess you really dont have the time to look." He smirked slightly as he walked over to the counter and then slid a large yellow envelope towards her. Victor had worked with a lot of government and underground organizations and he could get information easily. And that was just what he did. Inside that envelope were files of several women, including photos. Of course he didn't mention the fact that those woman he personally approved of first.

[Jean Grey]

"Stupid girl. Who would want to be with an X-Man anyways?They're all so bored and blah blah blah save the world blah blah blah."

Phoenix really couldn't believe why anyone would want to be with one of them. They were boring and all bent on saving the world or the human race. Who cared about humans anyways? They were fragile and boring. She preferred the company of mutants and only the ones that she deemed worthy. Which weren't a lot. She had only had a few 'Friends' in her lifetime and all of them seemed to die after a short period of time.

"What is this?"

Phoenix looked at the envelope he slid over to her. It was rather large and looked official. She picked it up and opened it. There were papers inside of it. She pulled them out and started to look through them. They were files of woman. The pictures were included. Phoenix was surprised. Victor had gone out of his way to help her and now she had a list of women she could choose from to take over their body. Why would he help her though? What would he gain from it? there was always a catch. She had learned that in her lifetime. She looked up at him as she set the papers down on the counter. He may be handsome but he was still cunning and she knew that.

"What's the catch, Victor? Why are you helping me?"

[Victor Creed]

"A catch?" He gasped slightly, faking that shock in his face before he smirked at her. He drank from the bottle of water, finishing it off before throwing it away.

He moved in closer to her then, taking a moment to grab a handful of her hair and pull her body towards his. "The catch would be that which ever body you pick, is mine." He growled again, though this time it was more of a flirtatious growl than one of contempt. "And I will make sure to claim it as such when the time comes." He took in her scent for a moment, wondering how that new body would smell like. At least it wouldn't be the Jean woman anymore and he wouldn't have to 'share' with Logan. He could even smell him on her still. It still amazed him that he hadn't gotten any reaction out of the Runt. But whatever, he had the woman in his claws for the time being.

"How's that for a catch?" He was curious to see if she'd fight him on it or give into him. He couldn't tell with her sometimes. Though that was part of the fun now wasn't it?

[Jean Grey]

She felt his claws in her hair and on her scalp. The growl made her smile a little and so did his little catch. Oh he made it sound so easy. He thought that he could just take her after she found a new body. Well she wasn't going to make it that easy for him. He would have to work for it if he really wanted it.

Phoenix got really close to him. She pushed her body up against him and felt all of his muscles. Her lips got so close to his. She acted like she was giving into him. She would tease him first. That was always fun. Her hand ran up his stomach onto his broad muscular chest. Oh she loved his body and how it was hard with muscle. She then used her powers to push him back away from her and up against the wall. She held him there as she walked over to him with a smirk on her face.

"And what makes you think I'll make it so easy for you to claim me this time? I'm not your little plaything, Victor. No matter how much fun I have with you."

She let him down from the all after she made a small cut on his cheek. She made it slow and deep since she knew it was just going to heal up just as fast. She picked up the pile of papers again and started to look through them.

[Victor Creed]

Victor was rather caught off guard as he found himself suddenly pinned to the wall. Those pesky powers of hers. He was aware that she was stronger than him but he wasn't going to let her get away with that either. Another growl came from his chest but still that flirtation aggression sounded in it. "Oh you'll be whatever I want you to be." He grinned at her, sure they could play the cat and mouse game all they wanted. victor wasn't going to let her keep control. He was still a man after all, and a prideful one. She could throw him around and he'd still demand to be the one in control. She would just have to deal with it.

Once she let him go he rolled his shoulders and tilted his head to the side to let his neck crack. He lingered there though, allowing her to look through the pictures again. "Whoever you pick, I can get a hold of them within forty eight hours at the most." He'd be able to get her within twenty four probably but he gave some leway incase some sort of wrench in the plans occured.

[Jean Grey]

"Hmm....this one looks acceptable."

She handed him one of the files. It was a woman of Latin descent and she was gorgeous. She had a very well toned body of a dancer and apparently she was a black belt in martial arts. Phoenix could see herself in this body that was for sure. She fingered the picture she still held up in front of her. The woman was not of importance so she knew she wouldn't be missed.

As she looked at the picture her eyes flicked to look at Victor. He seemed unphased by her little outburst. She knew that he would try and prove him dominance. He was a man's man after all and he thought he had to be the dominant one. He didn't believe a woman could be the dominant one. But Phoenix was dominant and she wasn't going to let this one man change her and make her submissive. Oh she could play the part and she loved to be thrown around but at the same time she lied to dominate as well. She liked to throw someone around just as much as she loved to be thrown around.

"So...what do you think?"

She really did want to know what he thought of her choice. Why she wanted to know she had no idea. But she did. She walked over close to him and leaned up against the counter top. She let her leg press up against his for a second. She could feel the muscles in his leg just from that slight touch. Lustful images filled her mind but she pushed them away for a second.

[Victor Creed]

Well honestly Victor didn't mind her throwing her 'weight' around. He liked strong women, but he also liked showing strong women who was stronger. Either by will or pure strength.

But those thoughts were pushed aside when she handed him the file. He knew just by the name and information which picture she was looking at. "I'd be lying if I didn't say she was my favorite." He smirked slyly towards her while his mind was already plotting on how he was going to get the girl. And what he could do to her when he got her. Ideas of taking advantage of the woman before Phoenix even got to her was rather tempting in his head. Then he could show her that he lived up to his promise of claiming her whether she liked it or not. That thought alone almost made him shudder in anticipation.

"Consider it done, if thats the one you want." He glanced to her as she leaned so closely to him. He didn't shy away from her proximity and merely remained there like the muscular statue he was. He'd behave himself for the moment though at least until they figured out what was going to happen.

[Jean Grey]

"Well it looks like I made a good choice then, didn't I?"

Phoenix moved away from him and walked over to the fridge. She opened it up and grabbed a beer that was sitting on of of the shelves. She cracked the top open and took a sip of the amber liquid. It wasn't bad. She wasn't really a fan of beer but she would drink it if that was all there was. He probably wouldn't like her taking his alcohol but she didn't really care. Her eyes scanned over him again. The images that went through her head at that time were too much to describe.

Phoenix walked over to him seductively. She shook her hips just the right way and gave him a fiery, sultry look. Maybe he would want to have some more fun with this body before she got a new one. Maybe he could leave Jean a new gift that would make Logan even more mad. She hadn't told him how angry Logan had been about the first gift he had left for him. Jean had no idea how she had gotten it but she knew that Logan had known right away when he had seen it clearly on his Jean. She laid a hand on Victor's chest and ran it over his abs. Oh the blood and pain she wanted to cause tonight before she got a new body. She would make him wait before he would be able to properly claim her new one.

[Victor Creed]

Victor let out a little growl as he felt her hand upon his chest. He enjoyed the sensation, not from the woman before him but from the essense of that woman before him. He knew now more than ever before that it was just that dark Phoenix woman that he was attracted to, not the prissy X-woman.

In a swift movement he grabbed her, slamming her back into the nearest wall so he could press his larger frame against her. Another growl rumbled forth as he took in her scent once more.

"Now we could do what I know you're thinking. I can ravage this body and leave you in a bloody mess amist broken furniture and torn fabric." He lingered near her letting her get overwhelmed with the thought of such promises before he pushed himself away from the wall and walked into the livingroom. "Unfortunately, I think such an activity is more appropriate for new territory. A nice fresh canvas to create such dark and twisted 'art'." He was looking forward to the new smells and the new taste of blood unknown to him.

He knew his action would infuriate the woman. With her high and mighty attitude she needed to be knocked down a notch now and again. Not to mention the fact that he was growing tired of that Jean woman's body. The next thing he needed was to actually go through with killing her. And once Phoenix was within the new body, that plan could happen easily.

[Jean Grey]

OOC: Thought we could move onto her getting the body since her account is already accepted

IC:

She could feel the heat from his body as he lingered close to her. She could feel his muscles contracting with the movement of him pushing her up against the wall in the kitchen. She smiled as he started to take control of her. It aroused her immensely. But a growl escaped her lips as he suddenly walked away from her. He left her standing there wanting more. She had never wanted anyone more than she wanted this man. It was still weird to her how she was starting to have feelings for him. She thought she had gotten rid of those types of feelings a long time ago.

She stayed leaned against the wall for a couple of minutes just thinking. She was thankful for him and surprised that he had went out of his way to help her and find her a new body. She wouldn't have expected that from him of all people. But soon she would be free and with a new body who could handle her strengths. She walked over and downed the rest of the beer she had set on the kitchen counter top. She looked over at Victor in the living room. She spoke a few words to him as she walked out of his apartment.

"Call me when you have the body."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two days had gone by so slowly. He had promised her forty eight hours to get the girl. Why hadn't he called?! It was starting to get late and the sun had already gone down. She had pushed Jean to the back of her mind and locked her there as she paced the room. She needed to be out of this stupid mansion. The walls were starting to close in on her. She whipped her head around as her phone lit up. She picked it up an read the text from Victor. A smile spread across her face as she grabbed her keys and walked briskly to her car.

The drive was short but she sped around the other cars that were going way to slow for her. She was headed to her escape. Something she had been waiting for for so long. She parked the car and walked towards the apartment she had grown so accustom to. She didn't even knock as she walked into the small apartment Victor lived in. She looked at him with a smile.

"Where is it?"
