Chapter 1: The Intake

Chapter Text

When Victor Von Doom (Phd) seized power in Latveria (formerly Sokovia) with weapons he developed from abandoned HYDRA tech mixed with Vibranium, he pressured the UN and SHIELD to pass the Sokovia Accords on threat of global war. Many Eastern states stood firm in support of him.  Fearing the beginning of World War Three, the UN turned against the Avengers, and all those like them, such as mutants. Despite staunch opposition from the Federation of Genosha, the UN, supported by Tony Stark, passed the accords. This resulted in Genosha leaving the UN, an alternative Avengers Civil War and a mutant uprising. Those who did not seek asylum in the only nation that would take them, were captured, as were the humans who aided them.  It is almost as if the dictator has ulterior motives in having all the world's superheroes and supervillians incarcerated where they can not stop his plans.  Perhaps he is more than he seems. While the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men rot in prison, gears turn in the Latverian War machine.

Jessica Jones sat secured in her seat on the prison transport Quinjet, on delivery from the courthouse to The Raft Penitentiary. She was dressed in her usual gothy black leather jacket and jeans from her arrest (not that she’d have worn anything else to court if given the option) but soon enough she’d be trading that for a bright orange jumpsuit. Already it was harshly made clear to her she was a prisoner, what with the heavy set of vibranium cuffs around her wrists and the power dampening collar.

Jessica was at the wrong place at the wrong time when she witnessed the murder of Susan Alison. It had started as a simple missing persons case, and then became a fight to uncover a conspiracy in the heart of New York. She got too close and they exposed her and her abilities to the world. It wasn’t long before S.H.I.E.L.D (or more accurately the shadowy 1984 like organisation that stood in the place of the organization that once at least pretended to care) came to her door, tased her, and put an inhibitor collar around her neck then dragged her off to a courthouse in the back of a windowless van. 

Jessica was taking no shit during her brief trial but that hardly helped her case. She was forced to be silent at the banging of the judge’s gavel. 

“For the crime of unsanctioned vigilantism in callus of the Sokovia Accords, I sentence this Living Weapon of Mass Destruction to indefinite imprisonment on the Raft, effective immediately!” yelled the judge.

Jessica felt a swell of anger bubble up inside of her. She wasn’t exactly shocked at her sentence, but still the idea of spending her life behind bars with the most dangerous women on Earth was the farthest thing from appealing possible. All she could manage was a “You can go fuck yourself-“ before the heavily armed guards grabbed her and dragged her out of the courtroom. In the end, Jessica was just yet another victim of the practically totalitarian Sokovia Accords. 

“Fuck the Alisons. If it wasn’t for their fucking case I wouldn’t be here.” She thought as the guards applied her shackles. This was their fault in her mind at the moment. She was fine with the usual sneaking around the city at night helping people get proof their spouse was cheating on them or whatever other stupid thing they needed that helped pay her rent, but no of course she had to get dragged into a conspiracy. 

Jessica sat silently contemplating the sudden pang of guilt in her chest when she thought about where she was headed. Just a few years ago she’d been forced to send her best friend Trish to The Raft when she went on a superpower driven murder spree. She had done everything she could to reason with her, but she had to make the tough decision and it remained with her constantly. Now they’d both be housed in the exact same prison. She’d missed Trish, but running into her under these circumstances wasn’t very ideal. Knowing her luck they’d likely end up as cellmates. 

She wasn’t alone on the Quinjet that was travelling towards the prison. There were three other ladies travelling with her and she quickly assumed it was more affordable to transport multiple convicts at once. One of them appeared to be a young girl, clothed in a purple archery suit that gave the impression that she had just left the gym. Jessica pondered what she might have done after noticing that she appeared innocent and uneasy in her seat.

With her heart pounding loudly in her ears, Kate's large eyes flashed all around the aircraft she was traveling on. She was terrified. She felt as though she was being choked by the seat belt because it was excessively tight across her chest. She wanted to shout for a guard to come and assist her, but she quickly realized that no one would care if she died in her seat, and that realisation made her shut up.

It had all happened so quickly. One moment, Kate had been at a socialite gathering her mother made her come to, and before she knew it, she was involved in all sorts of criminality alongside her hero, Clint Barton. Unbeknownst to her. she was repeatedly violating the Sokovia Accords, and her case was swift and hopeless. Manslaughter, property damage, and theft were her supposed crimes. The words kept repeating in her head, almost physically hurting her. Clint had gotten away scot free, which angered her even more. She had not expected an Avenger to put her in danger like Clint had, nor had she expected to go to a women’s prison filled with criminals. Dangerous female criminals. 

She wished she had her bow with her, so she at least had a fighting chance. 

Sitting next to Kate was Mary MacPherran aka Titania. Dressed in the most modernly impractical and extravagant outfit imaginable and wearing far too much makeup, she was still dressed to impress. The mint green suit she wore with curious patterns had soft little spikes at her shoulders that hit the sitting people next to her. She would be all set to walk any high fashion runway if it wasn’t for the chains and looks of pure rage on her face. 

Titania was fuming. The former social media influencer and beauty product company owner was now on her way to spend 20 years behind bars. The Raft of all places! As if being an inmate wasn’t enough, she’d have to be surrounded by horny lesbians 24/7! It was so unfair! The idea of being starved of attention (it took a guard telling her she wouldn’t have her phone in prison for her to realize that) for so long physically made her sick. And if life couldn’t get any worse, apparently Jennifer Walters was there! 

Titania had been able to stay in the clear of the accords for a while. It wasn’t all that hard really. There was that one time when she’d violently stormed out of traffic court but her lawyer cleared that up for her. She just spent most of her time hating “that bitch” She-Hulk because in her mind that woman was the absolute worst. In fact, after Jen was sent to prison for using her powers, Titania was the loudest voice in the media talking about how great it was that “That bitch was locked away from society.” In fact she even made a T-shirt of Jen behind bars. 

Titania did come under fire for the level of her pure vitriol towards the green lawyer, some found it somewhat off putting just how obsessed she was with her even after she’d been banished from society. But most looked past it. 

No. What her first big mistake that would lead to her downfall was using cheap toxic substances in her beauty products. She of course claimed that “She had no idea” and tried to throw really everyone else under the bus. The issue went to trial and she probably would have only faced a hefty fine if she hadn’t risen from her seat and tried to crush the judge with a desk. Now having used her powers to try and kill someone, she now had the special honour of being an official living WMD and worrying about a meagre fine went out the window. 

Titania, now with a dampener collar on for everyone’s protection, made sure to livestream her new trial and was confident she’d get off with a small slap on the wrist. Which is why she was in utter horror when the judge said

“For the crime of attempted murder, destruction of government property, and breaking the Accords, I sentence you to 20 years without parole! You will serve your sentence at The Raft!” 

Titania had been dragged out yelling “You’re all just a bunch of jealous haters!” and that it was so unfair. And that’s how she ended up here, unfairly as well.

The other passengers on the aircraft were being stared at by Monica Rambeau. She was trying to discern who each of them was, starting with Titania. Even though the lavish clothing the person next to her was wearing was almost painful to her eyes, she had to chuckle at how absurd she was. She had heard about this person on the news. She had also heard about Kate Bishop and her ventures with Clint Barton. Having access to inside information was a perk of working with S.W.O.R.D. She had been attempting to identify the other woman but did not recognise her. She could have used her spectral vision to check if there was anything special about her if she weren't sporting this stupid collar. But maybe, rather not. Enough people already got hurt because of her, which is why she turned herself in to the authorities before anyone else could be harmed in the first place. 

After encountering Wanda Maximoff and the Maximoff anomaly, Monica’s entire life had been turned upside down with her newly acquired abilities. She had no idea how to use or control them, and pretty quickly people started getting hurt. Monica had done what she believed was best and turned herself in to her employer because she had no one to aid her. The Avengers would not return her calls and Carol Danvers was nowhere to be found. She expected help from S.W.O.R.D, possibly some form of seclusion until she had better control of her abilities. She did not expect to be sent to the Raft. Evidently, S.W.O.R.D already had a case built against her because of everything that happened with Wanda, so her own surrender served as the ideal icing on the cake for her punishment.

Monica could not help but blame Wanda. She had done everything in her power to make sure that Maximoff wouldn’t be seen as the villain, for people to understand why the witch had done what she did. But now Monica’s life was ruined because of her own kindness, and she was bitter. Maybe she had made a mistake in trusting Wanda? If she had worked together with Hayward more this whole thing wouldn’t have happened. But Hayward was a dick now. Before she would have put her trust in him. Recently, she seemed to have been let down by a lot of old friends. 

She fixed her jaw angrily and stared down the other people before her eyes met with the dark, pupil-less eyes of the final prisoner. Although she was accustomed to encountering extraterrestrials because of Carol, something about this creature's look unnerved her. Though he was unmistakably friendlier in appearance, she reminded Monica of Vision. She seemed to be a synthezoid of some kind, too. She was tempted to lean forward and ask, but she refrained because she didn't want to make a bad first impression and it might possibly be a bit rude. But it was unquestionably fascinating and she found it difficult to look away. 

Nebula clenched her fist angrily in her seat and glared at the woman checking her out. “What are you looking at?” She said in an angry, low voice. Thankfully, she got the other to look away hurriedly, embarrassed. She would remember her face though when they got to the prison. Once she would be allowed to walk around Nebula would visit her again, and jam a shiv through her ribcage. The thought of this calmed her down and she sighed.

This wasn’t her first time in a prison and she knew there would be a lot of people here who would want to kill her. Being the daughter of Thanos, she had always been hated. By the time her father’s plan to take the Infinity Stones for himself started to take flight and he was eventually killed by Ronan the Accuser, she had made a lot of mortal enemies. Her rage after her father’s death was uncontrollable. It hadn’t taken long for the Sovereign to find her and arrest her. Then she had ended up on Terra, going to an all women’s prison in the middle of the ocean. This was something she could not have predicted. 

The Terrans had always been behind with their technology and knowledge of other planets that inhabited their solar system, but since The Avengers entered the picture Terra seemed to have made rapid progress. They made several extra terrestrial connections and bonds including accepting and taking in prisoners who had clashed with the Avengers personally. When word got out that they had a maximum security prison that could hold even the most powerful villains and heroes, it quickly became a sought-after location for incarcerating all kinds of the galaxy's most loathed offenders. And Nebula was one of them.

Nebula was aware that this was only one more challenge to conquer and that anyone standing in her way would be eliminated. Maybe she could stage an escape. An upside of being mostly made of cybernetic enhancements is that wouldn’t easily be taken down. Her father might now be dead, but she was not ready to give up on taking revenge on behalf of him. She longed to see Gamora again, soon. Despite the fact that she hadn't seen her sister in a long time, her anger had only manifested more and she yearned for the day when she could pierce her heart and stare into her eyes as the life left them. That would teach her. Traitor.

They all prepared themselves for landing as the plane began to descend. A gigantic spherical structure in the middle of a vast ocean would have been visible from the plane's windows had it had any. Rough waves crashed against the outside walls, which were strong enough to withstand the force. The Raft had several landing zones for storing the Quinjets. There were no doors on other entrances on the platform. A circle in the heart of the raft opened and allowed the plane to enter.

After they had safely landed, a dozen guards came into the cabin of the plane, all armed with big guns and protective gear. They were all female guards, Monica noted with interest. Then, the sound of heels could be heard on the plane’s loading ramp. All the prisoners looked up as a short woman in a skirt and blouse entered, her black hair flowing down her shoulders. Her posture was immaculately straight and she gave each of them a wide smile. “Hello darlings. I’ve come to personally welcome you today. Normally I wouldn't do this, but since all of you are such special visitors, I felt compelled to. I'm hoping my universal translator is effective so you can all understand me.” She mentioned the universal translator bit while looking directly at Nebula. The tone of her voice was shrill and annoying and several of the prisoners cringed and grit their teeth. It was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. Kate was reminded strongly of a high school principal she had once had. “Welcome to the Raft! My name is Valentina Allegra de Fontaine…You're right, it's a mouthful. You can just call me Val. Except don’t do that.” She paused, as if she were waiting for them to laugh, but nobody did.  “I’m the warden of this beautiful prison.”

She crossed her arms. Her nails were painted blood red. “I hope we can all have a wonderful time here together and learn from each other. Now follow me please.”  Stumbling could be heard as each of the prisoners was escorted out by 2 guards each, and one in front and in the back.They all had chains around their hands and feet, and some had collars around their necks.

Monica looked around the large entrance hall, which was filled with all sorts of pallets with supplies and more guards stood post. Unexpectedly, there was a big window on the right that showed a sizable yard. In it, prisoners were chatting among themselves and hanging around in groups. They were all without shoes and clad in faded orange jumpsuits. Monica wondered if this was a yard thing only, or if the whole prison was barefoot. She found the idea repulsive.

After being led down a lengthy hallway, they entered a room. Val made the guards move behind them after telling the prisoners to form a horizontal line. Long metal rods sprung from the ground with the push of a button. As their handcuffs vibrated and were separated, connecting to the poles, the women stood with their arms and legs wide apart, as if making snow angels. “Cut!” Val suddenly barked, her voice carrying through the empty room. All the ladies yelled in protest, with the exception of Nebula and Jessica, as the soldiers began to strip them of their clothing with razor-sharp fabric cutters. They were not gentle nor did they respond to the pleas of the prisoners in front of them or their cries of pain as the scissors dug close to their skin.

Monica’s jaw was set and she barely controlled her anger as her clothing was ripped open. When the last article of her clothing had been ripped to shreds, and her dignity in tow, she held back her tears best she could. The guards admired the sight of her bare ebony skin glistening under the harsh light of the room. 

“Please, this violates my rights as an American citizen.” Kate whimpered, meanwhile, her face streaked with tears. Prison was so much worse than she thought! Kate flushed after her costume was aggressively undone, revealing her purple undergarments which evidently matched the outfit she’d been wearing. “Cute.” Remarked the guard handling her before getting rid of those as well. Poor Kate had never been so humiliated in her life. 

Nebula remained unfazed through the process save for when the guard would be too rough and she’d yell at them, to which she was tased for it on one occasion. The shock barely stung her. She’d been through pain far worse than that.

The largest commotion came from Titania, who was loudly wailing in protest. “How dare you cut my clothes! Do you know how much these cost? These are worth more than your life. If you touch me I'll shred you to pieces!” The guard only rolled her eyes and continued on. Titania’s elaborate outfit took the longest to remove. The guard handling her quickly grew impatient, and thus was far more sloppy in how she did it. Several times the scissors would graze against the convict’s skin and she would desperately try to move, but the vibranium cuffs made that impossible. Through the process, it physically hurt her to see her expensive wear so callously cut apart and then thrown in the corner. Titania’s caramel breasts flopped out of her bra as it was cut open. 

Jessica sighed in irritation as the guards did away with her leather jacket and jeans. She wasn’t too shy to show her body, as she already knew to expect this level of humiliation in prison, but it still didn’t make this very easy. Her shirt was torn off, and then her black bra and underwear. She hated to part with her leather jacket which she’d had so long. Part of her hoped she would somehow be able to get it back, but she realised that was never going to happen. Jessica shivered slightly as the cold air of the room made direct contact against her pale skin, her gothic beauty exposed for all the room to see.

After the ‘undressing’ was complete, Val gestured to the guard standing next to her. “This is Officer Sarah Weaver, she’ll be the one conducting your search this morning! Say hi.” 

Sarah was a fit caucasian woman in her early thirties with auburn hair and hazel eyes. She wore a specialised version of the guard outfit that made her stand out from her underlings. She’d formerly worked as a low level S.H.I.E.L.D Detention centre security guard before getting the suspiciously massive promotion as head of an entire cell block at The Raft. She was probably the farthest you could get from an honourable woman, being more than happy to take bribes or more sexual favours from the inmates she was supposed to be watching over. 

Monica looked to her left, where the young girl was standing, sobbing. She felt for her. “Hey man, this isn’t okay. We might be prisoners but we’re still human.” She connected her eyes with the officer, pleading. 

Sarah locked eyes with her. “Yes you’re human. But you’re also property of this prison, so we can really do whatever we’d like with you.”

Monica tried to challenge the woman with her stare, but eventually gave up. She was right, she supposed. But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t resist the humiliating experience. At least all the guards were female.

Nebula stared at the sobbing and protesting women and rolled her eyes. Why couldn’t they understand this was just part of the process? Resisting would only make it worse. She was so used to being taken apart and put together again, that this strip search was nothing to her. She cleared her throat. “I think you should start with the crying one.” That would teach her to stop being such a pussy.

Kate sniffled and looked at the blue, skinny person next to her in shock. “No, please.” She wriggled in place, unable to move. Officer Weaver stepped forward and around Kate, a smirk on her face. “She’s a feisty one. But I don’t like crying.” She grabbed the girl’s chin and lifted it up. “Tears won’t help you here, sweetheart. In fact, it will only invite the other women to make you their bitch. You gotta be stronger than this.” She wiped Kate’s cheek and rubbed the wetness of her tears between her fingers before wringing her hands together. “I would say this will be over quickly, but I prefer taking my time.” 

Sarah stepped forwards and with a loud SNAP put on her latex gloves, then placed her hands on Kate’s shoulders before moving up, running them up her back and untying the braid Kate was wearing. Her long, curly dark hair fell over her bare shoulders. “Look, much better. You look pretty with your hair like this.”  She whispered in her ear before moving her hands through the locks, checking for anything Kate could have hidden in there. Kate’s eyes widened in shock as the strip search continued, while everyone in the room either turned their eyes away or looked into space. 

Sarah then suddenly laid one hand upon Kate’s right breast.

Kate stopped crying, paused in a moment of pure shock. She attempted to say something in response to the guard’s touch but no words came out.

Sarah continued on, gently sliding her hand down the archer’s chest and across her abdomen until her fingers were just barely away from the other woman’s sex. 

“I-I’m n-not hiding anything down there” Kate managed to say, though it came out a meek little whimper

Sarah looked at Kate and said “Well, we’ll see about that.”

What followed was a very uncomfortable experience (for Kate at least) as Sarah took her time searching up her most private parts for any possible contraband. Though by the look on the guard’s face, it was clear she took far too much pleasure in this task to think it was just part of the job. She liked scared newbies like Kate. They were all so much more fun to introduce to the cold harsh realities of living in an all women prison, and then offering them “protection” from the mean inmates. This had been her ‘business plan’ since the beginning of her employment here.

Kate tried her best through the search to even be somewhat calm. Strangely to her though, a small part of her enjoyed the woman’s touch. That fraction of pleasure though was lost behind a thick wall of tears and whimpering.

“If you think that was bad, you have no idea what it’s gonna be like when you’re actually with other prisoners. I can promise you they won’t be as gentle as I am.” Sarah teased before moving on to the next woman, which was Monica.

Monica had been eating herself up, unable to do anything. She felt horrible seeing the young girl being manhandled by the guard. It was unacceptable and she knew this would affect Kate going forwards. Something like this could ruin a person. And Monica was angry. She connected her eyes with Sarah and challenged her. She wasn't even afraid, just shaking with rage. 

"You will go to hell for this." She whispered underneath her breath.

“What was that? I didn’t hear you.” Sarah stepped closer.

"Fuck. You." Monica said and she spit in Sarah's face.

Sarah smiled and wiped the spit from her cheek “You’re quite a tough girl. I like that.” She stepped behind her and roughly grabbed her shapely ebony arse. “You really should be nicer to me. I am the one with all the power her after all.”

Monica felt uneasy by her very inappropriate touch.

Sarah reached her other hand around and began massaging Monica’s breasts 

“What would I be hiding there?” Monica spit out, her voice shaking.

Sarah knew this was unnecessary but what was the inmate gonna do? “It’s just part of procedure!” She lied.

“The procedure of being a pervert?!”

“Yeah sure.” 

Monica continued being felt up and she felt her blood boiling. She had to do something. But what? She was unable to move. Any attempts at escape would just hurt her, because the vibranium cuffs were too strong. 

No, instead, she would save this anger, and when it was time, she would get this woman back. So that's what she repeated in her head until the search was over and that's what kept her sane. Until…

Sarah walked around to Monica’s front and got on her knees. She brought her fingers between the prisoner’s legs and looked to see her reaction as she rubbed the tip of her index finger against her clit.

Monica let out an involuntary whimper. "What the fuck are you doing?" She whispered, alarmed.

“I already said. Making sure you aren’t hiding anything” Sarah casually said as she continued rubbing.

Valentina cleared her throat, making Kate, who was still crying, jump and Monica breathe out suddenly.

"Miss Weaver, we are in a little bit of a time crunch. I don't want to disrespect your…craft. But please, could you hurry it up?"

Sarah sighed as she stopped and slowly stood up. “We’ll continue this later.” She said to Monica before moving to the next inmate. 

Nebula stared at Sarah with unblinking, big dark eyes. She kept her nude blue cybertronic body perfectly still and calm despite what was lying just ahead.
"Now what do we have here?" The prison guard looked her up and down. "I like her." Sarah said to no one in particular. "I've never seen someone like you." She moved closer to Nebula, cupping her face. "Beautiful."

No one had ever called Nebula this. She knew it was probably a manipulation tactic, or something she said to catch her off guard, so she stayed silent. But the words did not not affect her.

"And very well mannered. Unlike some." Sarah shot a disgraceful look at Titania, who was still trying desperately to break free. "I'll make this quick”

Nebula felt a strange tingling sensation in her core as the admittedly pretty Terran caressed her naked body. It was a sensation entirely new to her. The feeling only grew as Weaver searched her vagina, moving her fingers along the folds of her lips. At that moment Nebula realised this must be what building up to an orgasm felt like. Being an intergalactic terrorist doing her father’s every bidding left her little time to actually enjoy any semblance of this. In fact, it wouldn't even be a surprise to her if Thanos had specifically rewritten her brain to not seek this out during one of the many times she was enhanced, as it could provide a distraction. All she wanted at this moment was for the sweet release that could only be given by the guard’s hand…

But suddenly Weaver stopped. “Alright you’re clear, inmate” 

Nebula hissed at her in rage. Just as it felt the sensation was coming to an edge she stopped. “Did I say you could stop?!” she scowled, her naturally bossy side coming through without her having the time to think of what that question implied 

“Oh you don’t want me to stop?” Weaver teased. Good to know that this inmate would enjoy some private meetings in her office when she adjusted to prison a little bit. Also it was nice knowing that if she couldn’t have fun right now neither could she. It was like torture for the wicked guard to be going through the process of roughly searching the naughty women but not be able to actually enjoy any of it. She couldn’t wait to get back to her office for a bit of “personal time”. “Next up…”

Titania thrashed in her bonds, her beautiful caramel breasts on full display for everyone in the room.

She wished she could break free of the cuffs and then crush every single last guard in this hellhole. She didn’t belong here. Being stripped naked and forced to comply as a random woman felt her up was a nightmare. Just to make things worse, this guard obviously found this all a turn on. 

Officer Weaver stopped and admired the celebrity’s well endowed shape. She liked this one already. Her spoiled too-good-for-prison attitude would make her all the more fun to play with when she got a chance. Weaver stepped behind Titania and began the search.

“This is unacceptable! I demand to be let go this instant!” She yelled at the warden

“Yeah I’ll get right on that” replied Val sarcastically while watching the search unfold. “Yell at me again and things will get a whole lot worse for you” 

The guard ruffled her hair in search of contraband. “Get your hands off me-“ Titania began to cry before suddenly letting out an audible gasp as Weaver brought one finger up her bum. The sensation of being poked and prodded…back there was beyond uncomfortable for the influencer. Much like Kate a little earlier, this intrusion upon such a private part of her body left her speechless. It felt to Titania as if this search would never end. 

When it finally drew to a close, Titania did her best to push what had just happened out of mind and returned to her obnoxious complaining as a sort of distraction. “You can’t treat me like this! I’m a…”

“Can you shut up?” Jessica loudly interrupted after having just about hit her limit. Being in prison was bad enough, she didn’t need to listen to this bitch’s constant whining. “Do you think any of us are happy about being here?!” 

Titania ignored her question but did choose to quiet down for now. 

Weaver moved to Jessica “Alright, it’s your turn now! Now be a good girl for me and hold still. Or don’t. I don’t care either way actually, but you might.”

Jessica rolled her eyes. She already knew this was going to be an awful experience, but she would not give Weaver the satisfaction of breaking down like most of the prisoners (save for Nebula) around her.

The search went along just like the others before, until;

“Someone is a dirty girl” Weaver said as she easily slid her finger up Jessica’s fine arse. “You like being f’ed up here?”

“Look I’m not interested in being lectured on being dirty by the same guard who just felt up 4 people in a row without consent.” Jessica snapped. This guard made her skin crawl. 

Weaver grew steadily annoyed when she couldn’t get a reaction out of her. With Nebula earlier she had the mental excuse of her being a weird (albeit sexy) cyborg alien, but Jessica was just some normal human like most of the inmates. She made an annoyed sigh but then decided to take this as a challenge. 

Jessica bit her lip as Officer Weaver came around and went up her sex. Weaver was talented at pressing all the right buttons, but Jessica absolutely could not let herself react. She wasn’t going to be anyone’s bitch here, no matter what. Weaver used a second finger now and gently rubbed in and out her vagina (basically fingering her under the guise of a search).

Val coughed a second time. “I do believe I already mentioned that I would like you to hurry this along. Don’t make me remind you again.”

Weaver sneered and did her best to disguise her upset tone “Sorry ma’am. Thought I found something is all.”

With that she pulled her fingers out and stood back up to attention.

Jessica exhaled in relief. Thank god that was over! She felt physically drained now having been searched literally everywhere. 

Now that everyone had been thoroughly searched and was starting to shiver from either emotion or just sheer coldness, Valentina clapped in her hands, making all of them jump. “Great, now that that’s done, we’re going to move on to the next step.” She waved her hand in the air and the guards all moved towards a different room. The intake room was silent besides the soft sobs of Kate Bishop. Valentina looked at her watch impatiently. The guards returned with big mesh bags, filled with an orange prison uniform, undergarments, and a pillow. 

“Now, I’m going to let you girls get dressed one by one. This means your cuffs will be taken off. And I urge you to put your clothes on and shut up and don’t try anything. We will not hesitate to hurt you.” She looked at each of the naked women, making sure they understood. “Perfect.” It was clear the woman enjoyed having the upper hand over the powerless prisoners.

One after the other, the women were freed from their uncomfortable cuffs. They all complied, being smart enough to realise that they stood no chance against the huge number of guards. Nebula debated making a run for it, but decided that it was pointless.

The prison uniform itself consisted of an orange jumpsuit with their prison number over their left breast and then a pair of panties with “Property of The Raft” stamped in big black letters over the bum. Titania made a look of pure disgust as she put on the hideous outfit. It was bad enough for her to have gone from luxury to this, but there was something extra humiliating about literally being marked the property of this prison. 

“Uhm, where are the shoes?” Kate spoke up, a whimper still present in her voice. 

“There aren’t any. The prisoners have previously used shoes, socks and bras to hurt each other, so we do not distribute them anymore.” Valentina replied, matter of factly. 

Kate looked shocked. “But…”

“Alright, I’m going to read out your names and then assign you each your number.” Valentina interrupted. “If you cannot remember your number, that is your problem. Failing to respond to it will result in dire punishment”

“Bishop, Kate: #A01-2005. Rambeau, Monica: #A16-1982. Jones, Jessica: #N17-2015. MacPherran, Mary: #S03-1984. Nebula: #A57-1985”

Kate didn’t quite catch what her number was, but she was far too terrified of the Warden to ask for her to repeat herself and just started internally panicking.

“Anyway, now that you’re all dressed, it’s time to enter the prison! Isn’t that great fun.” Valetina smiled as if she truly couldn’t imagine a better place to be. “This also means we will be saying goodbye. I do not enter the prison, for my own safety. But we have got you a guide!”

Valentina nodded and one of the guards opened a side door, which opened to the outside. The guard banged the door and a young blonde woman walked through the doorway, blowing a cloud of smoke out of her mouth slowly. She looked annoyed.

“I wasn’t ready.” She said in a heavy, Russian accent. “Now I will waste this cigarette.”

“Miss Belova, need I remind you that smoking is a privilege for you, not a right?” Valentina said in a sickly sweet voice.

“Alright, calm your tits.” Yelena replied, rolling her eyes and throwing the cigarette on the floor. She then proceeded to put it out with her bare feet, which made Kate gasp. 

Yelena eyed all of them with a disinterested stare. “Are you bitches ready to get the tour?”

Chapter 2: The Tour

Chapter Text

After Valetina and the guards said their goodbye, the women were ushered through a heavily sealed door, and suddenly they were alone with their tour guide, Yelena.
She wore her hair in a messy ponytail and had several tattoos on her arms, which looked pretty buff.
“Okay, so, I’m assuming you all got searched?” She said, addressing the entire group. When they all meekly nodded, her face softened. “I’m sorry about that. They will get easier with time. Trust me.”
She eyed the group properly for the first time and her eyes lingered on Kate, who was still softly crying. Recognition dawned on her face. “Kate Bishop?”
Kate froze, quickly wiping her tears. She looked at their tour guide with blurry eyes but recognised her instantly now that she had a proper look. Yelena Belova.
“You-What?” She blurted out in surprise. She had not seen the blonde woman since their fight last christmas. It had been several months.
Yelena crossed her arms, frowning. “What did you do to end up here, huh?” She instantly felt a little bitter, because it was mainly Kate and Clint’s fault that she was arrested and put here. But she did have a soft spot for the girl, she’d had one since they met. So she instead pushed the anger away for another time. Kate was terrified right now and she could not use another person making her feel miserable.
“Uh, some of the tracksuit mafia guys died and they held me and Clint responsible. Clint! Oh my god, he was looking for you everywhere. We should call him!” Kate started talking excitedly before realising where they were. ”Oh wait…”
Yelena barked a sarcastic laugh. “I’m sure Clint Barton wants to speak to me.” She rolled her eyes. “Figures he let you turn up for his crimes. I assume he got away with it?” The rest of the group listened in on their conversation with interest and Yelena quickly cleared her throat when she noticed. “Nevermind. Let’s get on with it then.” She gave Kate warning eyes, as to say “We’ll talk about this later.” and started the tour.

The prison was designed in an octagonal shape, with several hallways filled with cellblocks. It also had a recreational room, a hospital wing and two bathrooms. In the middle of the prison was the big yard, which the prisoners had seen before from the entrance. It was surrounded by big windows and had emptied out by now.
Yelena led them down the first hallway, showing them some of the cell blocks. Each room was filled with bedframes made of solid stone, both on the floor level and bunk height. The mattresses on them looked thin and uncomfortable. There was a metal toilet in a corner and a small desk. Most of the rooms were also littered with more mattresses on the floor, filled with sleeping, talking, or reading inmates. The majority of them didn’t pay attention to the newbies, but some looked up with interest.
“Is it normal that people sleep on the floor?” Monica asked. She had seen prisons like this before, and normally it was a maximum two people to a cell for safety purposes.
“No, it is not. We are overcrowded, which means you get to share your room with five other lovely ladies.” Yelena replied sarcastically. “You girls will sleep on the floor, because you’re new. Lowest on the totem pole.”
The new prisoners all looked at her with disbelief. Titania looked equal parts confused and upset. ”They can’t really expect I’m supposed to share a cell with criminals like you! I have standards!”
Yelena shrugged, ignoring her. “I suggest staying out of trouble and you’ll move up the ladder quicker.”
Jessica looked all around her new home with morbid fascination. So this is where she'd be spending the rest of her life. It was honestly worse than she had imagined, but she had also lived in some awful places, so it wasn’t that bad. She would probably survive.
The tour continued until they came across another cell. They all stopped dead in their tracks because the soft sound of moaning could be heard from inside. Yelena held up her hand, motioning them to stay silent.
Monica couldn’t help her curiosity and peeked into the room. On one of the bunks, two women were tangled together. One of them had flaming red hair and she was roughly but skillfully pushing her fingers into the other woman’s sex. Her mouth was connected to the blonde’s neck.They were both completely nude and making sounds of pleasure.
“Oh my god!” Kate exclaimed, who had also leaned around the doorframe to look.
Yelena had joined them, leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed and a soft smirk on her lips. “Oy, Jean! You’re traumatising the fresh meat!”
The red haired woman, whose name was apparently Jean, stuck up her middle finger and continued pleasuring the other prisoner.
Yelena rolled her eyes and swore. “Pizda.” She motioned for the others to follow her, continuing the tour.
When they were out of earshot, she shot Kate a grin, who was still looking rather uncomfortable.
“Got to watch out for that one.” She patted Kate’s shoulder. “Actually, she’s not that bad. There’s way worse women out there. But she will try to make a move on you for sure.”
“Does that happen a lot? You know…lesbians?” Kate replied. She had not expected such a public display of indecency.
Yelena laughed. “Lesbians?” She mocked Kate’s tone. “I’ll give you one week, Kate Bishop. Yes, there are many lesbians. We’re in a women’s prison, filled with criminals and aliens. What did you expect?”
The archer looked around, scared, as if a lesbian could pop up out of a dark corner at any moment. “Oh.”
Yelena didn’t know why, but she felt bad for the girl. Normally, she was able to distance herself pretty well from the new prisoners and what happened to them in their first weeks. The idea of this happening to Kate however, appalled her for some reason. Because of their brief confrontation last christmas, she had come to care for her. “You should stay close to me.” She blurted out, before she knew it. Dammit.
Kate’s big eyes focused on Yelena’s face. “Why?”
“The new prisoners are very popular targets.” Yelena said, looking meaningfully into Kate’s eyes.
“Targets? What do you mean?” Kate asked, anxiety rising to her chest. She wasn’t sure if she could trust Yelena.
“They’ll try to have sex with you, okay?” The blonde replied, her voice rising. “And you won’t have a choice.”
Kate stopped walking, making the others bump into her. “You can’t be serious.” She whispered.
“Very serious.” Yelena said. When the other prisoners looked at both of them again and what they were discussing with interest, she shook her head, to snap herself out of it. She didn’t want the others thinking she was giving Kate some kind of special treatment. “Whatever, I don’t care. Do whatever you want.” She mumbled and dug her hands in her pockets, continuing to show them around. She didn’t make eye contact with Kate again for a while.

After touring all the cell blocks, they had arrived at one of the bathrooms. It was filled with sinks and small mirrors, which were heavily secured to the wall so no one could use it to hurt people. There was a row of stalls, each filled with a toilet. The smell was very unpleasant and the plumbing was far from sanitary.
“Ew.” Titania simply said in her valley girl sort of way, turning her nose up.
Yelena raised her eyebrows. “If you think this is gross, you’re not ready for the showers. They’re disgusting.”
A toilet flushed suddenly, making the women jump. A red haired woman exited the stall, stopping in her tracks as she saw Yelena standing around with the newbies.
“Hey! Giving them a tour?” She said in a sultry voice and she smiled at Yelena, who apparently was familiar to her. Her hair was braided tightly but she had a kind face and was really beautiful, which made her seem out of place in this prison. She washed her hands in the sink, which probably made them more dirty instead of clean, and crossed her arms, taking in the new people. When there was a prolonged moment of silence, she cleared her throat. “Well, better get on with it.” She winked at Yelena and left the room.
They all stared after the beautiful woman, speechless. “Is she your girlfriend?” Kate blurted out, forgetting her boundaries.
“That’s my sister.” Yelena replied, chuckling. “Natasha Romanoff.”
Monica and Kate gasped in unison as it clicked for them. Something about seeing her here in prison wearing an orange jumpsuit just was so far from the norm that it was hard to recognize her.
“The Avenger?” Monica said breathlessly.
Yelena rolled her eyes. “That’s the one.”
Kate could not help but feel excited. She had been a fan of the Avengers since she had been saved by Hawkeye as a child. But her excitement quickly faltered when she realised where they were. “They’re putting heroes in here too?” She wondered, confused. As far as she knew, Natasha had saved the world multiple times before disappearing off the radar completely. She had always suspected the Black Widow had just been in hiding. Definitely not in prison. Yelena had come after Kate and Clint to find out where Natasha had gone, which had started this whole fight with Yelena. Neither Clint nor her knew were Yelena’s sister had been. Clint had actually been looking for Natasha himself, desperately. It was strange that nothing was known about Natasha’s arrest or incarceration in the public eye.
“Why would they put a hero here? You would assume saving humanity would grant you a get out of jail free card.” Kate blurted out, her brow furrowing. She then realised all she herself did was save people, yet she was here as well.
“Heroes don’t exist.” Yelena replied coldly. “At least, not in the government’s eyes.” There was obvious resentment towards the government, but Kate also felt like it was directed at her a little bit. She swallowed heavily and nodded.
Monica scoffed at this new information. “Sokovia Accords, right?” She said pedantically. “I often encountered people with abilities in my field of work and the government always marked them as a risk, hero or not..”
When no one responded, she quickly shut up. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to mention that she had previously worked for the government that probably landed a lot of people right where they were, including their tour guide.
“That’s smart to say in a prison full of people you helped place here.” Jessica immediately remarked.
Yelena frowned. “Yeah, I suggest you keep that to yourself.”
Nebula however, who had been silently following along on this stupid tour, finally perked up at this information. She eyed Monica with interest, trying to remember her face for later. Knowledge was power, after all.

The tour moved to the other bathroom, which was where the showers were located. The entire place was tiled in a dull grey colour, and definitely not clean. The walls were lined with shower heads, which were all removable. It reminded them of high school locker room showers. There were a few more secluded showers too, blocked off with walls. Monica made a mental note to make sure she could secure one of those the first time she came here, since she did not look forward to sharing a shower with a bunch of random naked women.
“Isn’t that kinda dangerous?” Jessica commented, nodding towards the long shower hoses and making a choking motion with her hands.
Yelena nodded, crossing her arms. “Ah yes, the showers. The place where most death and sex takes place.”
It was unclear whether she was joking or not, but no one felt brave enough to ask. Yelena looked wistfully at the disgusting environment and popped her lips. “Anyways. You’ll get your shower supplies and stuff later today.”
They moved on, and while they were walking towards the rec room, Yelena bumped her shoulder into Kate’s. “Don’t use the walled off showers, okay?”
“Why?” Kate asked. She had been planning to do just that.
“Just trust me.”

The rec room was a large cold looking environment, but still the most homely looking place within the prison’s walls. The room was currently inhabited by a lot of inmates, who were going about their short time of relaxation in relative calm. Most didn’t even bother to pay any mind to the newbies, but still there were a few who turned their heads to get a glimpse. It made Monica umcomfortable to be stared at.
As for the furnishings, in the centre of the room was an old looking TV that was currently running an old episode of ‘I Love Lucy’ which very few actually looked to be paying attention to (most were either reading, sleeping, or just sort of dozing off, staring into space). The television seemed to be the thing most cared for in the entire room; as the seats, tables, and couch around clearly had seen much better days.
There was a part of the room that consisted of a large empty floor with mirrors on the walls, serving as a kind of gym area. It was laced with sports equipment. A single person was sitting on a yoga mat in the middle of that part of the room, her legs crossed and her hands on her knees. She was quite small, almost childlike. Her hair was black and curly, adding to her cute appearance, even though they could only see her from the back.
Monica nodded approvingly at this sight. At least not everything here was so primitive. There were humans here who did humanlike activities.
“This is the rec room. This is where we hang out. Don’t ever dare to touch the TV, or Wanda will get angry. We all know sitcoms suck, but that’s just how it is, okay?” Yelena spoke up, moving her hands around as to present the room.
The mention of Wanda’s name made every new prisoner minus Nebula react. Given that this prison consisted of all kinds of criminals with crimes they couldn’t even begin to imagine and who could possibly endanger them, there was a comfort in the fact that most of the new prisoners were unaware, oblivious about their fellow prisoners’ pasts.
However, Wanda Maximoff was someone they all heard of. The woman’s rampage in New Jersey had been international news, and her multiversal search for her children and the ravage she left behind was also known among the general public, reported on after she was confirmed to have been stopped.
“H-How could they put her here?” Kate said, terrified. “I thought she was dead.”
Yelena shrugged. “Can’t kill a witch that powerful. But she’s really not that bad. Just don’t cross her.” She hoped they would heed her warning, but it was also kind of fun when someone tried to start a fight with Wanda. It made for interesting entertainment.
The person that had been doing yoga had apparently overheard their conversation, because she turned around and spoke up. “It’s best not to cross anyone here and stay out of trouble. You guys should join my yoga class to calm your anger.” Her smile was sweet and she seemed genuine.

Titania went wide eyed in recognition. “Jennifer?!” She exclaimed with a mixture of spite and genuine surprise. She predicted her nemesis would be here, but she didn’t think they’d run into each other on day one!
Jennifer’s mouth opened in a small ‘O’ when she saw Titania among the new prisoners. She wasn’t ready for this. “Oh, shit.” She whispered under her breath. She inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. “Hi Titania!” She said sweetly.
Titania put her hand on her hip and tried to assert some stupid internal self sense of dominance.
“Hi Shrek.” She mocked.
“What brings you here?” Jen replied, as if they were unexpectedly meeting each other in the supermarket.
The rest of the prisoners watched the exchange with confused faces, including Yelena.
“What the fuck do you think? It’s prison. I didn’t come here by choice.” Titania stepped closer, stooped down to Jen’s level and placed one finger on her shoulder and lightly pushed her.
Jeniffer caught herself from falling, but the small aggression infuriated her. She stood up in one smooth movement, and pressed her finger into Titania’s shoulder in return. “Don’t fucking touch me!”
Titania stumbled back a step. “You bitch!” She turned around to see if people were looking and then feigned a voice of victimhood. “She pushed me! You must have seen that! She pushed me!”
That may have worked on the outside world, but here everyone knew that was a blatant lie. Jessica just looked at her with annoyance. “This tour is long enough as it is. Can we not make this take even longer with this drama?”
Yelena shrugged. “This is the most exciting thing to happen thus far.” She got a cigarette from her pocket and lit it, leaning against the wall and watching with interest. She knew exactly what Jen could do, and was just waiting for it to happen.
Jeniffer was getting frustrated. Titania always managed to push all her buttons. Playing the victim, like she did in the outside world. She felt the anger inside her threatening to flow out and her heart was beating quickly. “No, no.” She whispered under her breath, trying to calm down but all she could see was green. Her mouth opened in pain as she felt her entire body enlarge, ripping the prison uniform to shreds.
Kate backed away until she ran into the wall next to Yelena, horror on her face. “What the f-”
She-Hulk roared and lumbered forwards, grabbing Titania’s arm and spinning her around, throwing her into the wall with tremendous force.
Titania hit the wall with a loud THUD. She slid down to the ground, propped up just slightly. She let out a sort of groaning sound as she tried to get back up but decided not to. She wasn’t badly injured, just very disoriented and probably hurting just a little bit.
Aggressively grabbing the yoga mat she had been sitting on, She-Hulk threw it against the mirror and roared. “You!” She pointed at Titania, ready to pounce. “You will listen to me here. I am the boss!” She swung her fist, ready to hit Titania, but punched a huge hole in the wall instead.
Before anyone could respond, a loud, ear splitting alarm sounded. The inmates present in the rec room all groaned, and proceeded to lay down, belly first, on the floor. Yelena hissed and quickly took another drag from her cigarette. “Lay on the floor!” She yelled towards the new prisoners, rounding them up, her heavy accented voice making itself clearly perceivable over the loud alarm. She put her hand on Kate’s shoulder and squeezed it before pushing the girl down and following.
“What’s happening?” Kate said, panic in her voice.
“They’re going to come in and take Jen away. Don’t do anything and we’ll be fine, okay?” Yelena said, trying to exhale the smoke from her laid down position and having difficulty doing so.
The door opened with a bang and several guards entered. One of the guards was brandishing a special looking gun, which she expertly aimed at Jen’s shoulder. A soft sound was heard and a large dart appeared, having penetrated her thick green skin. She immediately crumpled to the floor and the room filled with an eerie silence.
“Wow!” Kate exclaimed excitedly. “They’ve got trick arrows!”
Yelena huffed out the remaining smoke in a sort of cough- laugh. “You’re weird, Kate Bishop.”
When Jen had returned to her normal form, she had been taken away by the guards and calm had returned to the room. However, the rec room was closed for repairs and the other inmates were ushered out, complaining loudly. Weirdly, the room had been a mess because of the fight, but the tv and it’s dvd player had been untouched.
“That was intense.” Jessica commented. “Is she like, okay?” She nodded towards Titania, who was still laying on the floor, a crumpled mess with two guards standing by her making sure she was alive.
The staff rushed Titania to the infirmary to make sure she hadn’t broken anything important. Yelena shrugged and the group continued onwards without her.

The next and final stop on the tour were the kitchen and cantina. These were placed outside of the general prison area, and closed off with a door so the staff could also safely eat when they wanted to. Yelena led them through these doors which were open to the prisoners right now, and down a long hallway. When they got closer to the kitchen, soft 40’s music was playing over the speakers. The entire environment seemed very clean, unlike the rest of the prison.
“The kitchen.” Yelena simply stated, opening the door for them and beckoning them inside.
After they all shuffled inside, they were met with a spectacular sight. A young woman was standing with her back to them, her long, curly dark brown hair running down her shoulders. Her hands were lifted in the air and softly swaying along with the music. Around her, the entire kitchen was alive with movement. Dishes were washing themselves, pots were being stirred and vegetables and meat was being cut by invisible hands holding sharp knives. It was like everything moved in perfect unison.
“Woa.” Kate exclaimed, her mouth open in awe and Monica mirrored her expression.
“Wanda?” Yelena said softly, as to not disturb the cooking woman from her work.
Wanda turned around, a soft smile plastered on her face. “Hi!” She greeted them cheerfully, her eyes so big they were almost popping out. She had braided a few strands of her hair, but it was still kind of meek and untidy looking.
The prisoners all took a step back in unison when they realised who the cook was and at the way she looked at them.
“These are the new prisoners, Wanda.” Yelena said, matching her cheery tone uncharacteristically. “They can’t wait to taste your amazing food.”
Wanda beamed at the compliment and slowly eyed all of them. Her stare was not only terrifying, but it seemed as if she was truly analysing each of them, looking into their darkest thoughts and feelings. When her eyes at last met with Monica’s, her smile faltered. “Oh.”
Monica wished she could disappear through the floor at that moment. She had not seen the witch since their ordeal in Westview, but she had heard what she had done after that. She partly blamed herself for not taking care of the problem and trusting Wanda to change her ways, but now that she came face to face with her here, she realised the Wanda she had met in Westview was long gone and she could not be saved.
“Hey Wanda.” She said, her voice barely above a whisper. “How are you?”
Wanda’s hands had stopped moving along with the music, which started to become jumbled and mixed with static. The pans being washed clattered to the ground. “Okay, let’s move.” Yelena grabbed Kate’s arm and steered her and the other prisoners back, a little away from whatever was happening in front of them. Kate, who looked terrified, could not form words but nodded gratefully. Yelena decided to just enjoy the show, because there was no way she was going to stand in between this newbie and the angry witch.
Wanda took a deep breath, the veins in her neck visible. “I’m great.” She said, her voice shaking.
Monica felt a shiver go down her back at the witch’s stare. She knew she was angry at the world. She knew she probably resented her and saw her as an easy target to channel her fury into. But she had no idea how to deal with that, since they were both stuck here. Apologizing would not help and she could not start a fight on her first day. She clenched her fists, feeling powerless because of the collar around her neck. She thankfully noticed that Wanda was wearing one too, so she didn’t seem to be a full power, at least.
“It’s great that they’re letting you cook!” She said, trying to keep the conversation flowing and fill the very uncomfortable and heavy silent tension in the air. “It looks like you’re doing a good job here.”
Wanda clenched her jaw. “Yes, I take care of everyone.” Her hands were trembling.
“That’s very nice of you. You took care of me and everyone in Westview very well! And your kids-” Monica rambled out of panic, her voice unsure. She stopped herself because she had realised she had said the wrong thing, judging by the other’s immediate reaction.
Wanda’s eyes blazed red and she took a step forwards. “What did you say?” She said in a dangerous voice. The knives that had been cutting the vegetables started rising in the air, and pointed towards Monica and the other new prisoners. They blinked in the light, ready to strike.
Monica put her hands up, sweat dripping down her forehead. “I-”
Before anyone could react, the kitchen door swung wide open and several people entered the room, unaware of the confrontation that was going on.
A blonde woman was leading the group, and she stopped in her tracks when she saw the knives floating in the air, pointed at Monica.
“What is going on-” She said, her eyes switching between Wanda and Monica. They eventually lingered on the latter, recognition dawning on her face. “Monica?”
Monica tore her stare away from the knives and connected eyes with her childhood hero, Carol Danvers. Auntie Carol. Her mother’s girlfriend, who had disappeared without a word, leaving her all alone after her mother’s passing during the snap.
“Carol?” She managed to choke out. She was filled with a jumble of anger, sadness, happiness and terror.
“What the fuck do you think you are doing, you crazy bitch?” Carol spit towards Wanda, who physically recoiled at the insult.
Her eyes had filled with angry tears. “She…I…” She stuttered, confused in her own head. The grief was threatening to overtake, and she was starting to get a little disoriented. She focused her eyes on Monica again and striked.
The knives suddenly shot forward, most of them missing their target, but one of them cutting Monica on the cheek. She clapped her hand over the oozing wound, gasping.
“You shouldn't have done that.” Carol said smugly but angrily, stepping forwards. She balled her fist and punched Wanda straight in the face. The force was so big that the witch sprawled onto the floor, her long hair shielding her face and spilling everywhere like a waterfall. She didn’t seem to be moving.

There was a brief, uncomfortable silence. Then, the room was filled with the sound of clapping. Nebula stepped forwards, applauding. “This is the best prison I’ve ever been to.” She said in her low voice. “Terra is not that bad after all.”

Chapter 3: And they were cellmates...

Chapter Text

After the altercation in the kitchen, the guards had taken Wanda to the hospital wing. The punch had knocked her out cold, which was honestly impressive. Carol and her group had taken snacks from the kitchen pantry before waving goodbye to Monica. Carol had promised they would talk later, so Monica held onto that thought. She was still a little terrified at the thought of Wanda eventually waking up and coming to find her, but for now she felt like she was safe. Seeing the woman she idolised so much as a child again after all these years had awoken a bunch of feelings inside of her, which jumbled together making this already confusing and overwhelming day that much more difficult. 

They had all taken some time to calm down and eat something in the cantina before Yelena had spoken up again. “Well, that was the tour, pretty much. Normally it’s not that eventful, but hey, you made my day entertaining.” She was smoking another cigarette, and looked a little worn out. The group was sitting around a table, all dealing with their new environment in their own way. Yelena took out a clipboard and a mesh bag she had taken out of an office and cleared her throat, scanning over it quickly. “Now, at the beginning of the tour, Val asked you to remember your prison number. Do you remember it? It’s of utmost importance.” She took a bite of a grilled cheese she had made herself in the kitchen and eyed the group with a stern look.

Most of them had absolutely forgotten they had even been given a number, with all the things that happened since the search. Nebula however, spoke up. “#A57-1985.” The number was said almost robotically.

Yelena looked impressed at the blue skinned woman. “Oh.”

Normally, no prisoner ever remembered theirs, so she was taken aback. “Well, you were meant to have all forgotten. It’s another form of torture Val likes to use. To scare ya.” She scrunched up her nose as she smiled.

“Anyway, I’m just joking. I have your prison numbers here, and your ID cards. I do however urge you all to remember your number from here onwards, because they will punish you if you don’t listen.”

 

She got out a digital photo camera, which looked a bit dated. “We need to take a picture of each of you, as it will be displayed on your ID card. And lastly, you will each get assigned a cell. And with that comes roommates, as I said before.”

Kate and Monica both immediately looked terrified at this prospect. Kate was terrified in general, but Monica realised she could quickly make many enemies here by accidentally mouthing off, on top of Wanda already hating her. What if she was bunked with the witch?

She swallowed heavily and spoke up. “Are…are they random? The cellmates?” 

Yelena furrowed her brows at this interruption, wanting to finish up by now. “Yes, they are random. But I promise, you won’t be bunked with that little witch, if that’s what you’re worried about. She has her own room. Some inmates have more influence than others, and therefore have privileges. I will urge you to respect them, or it will go downhill for you quickly.”

Monica nodded, relieved. Kate however, frowned. 

“That doesn’t seem fair.” She did not deal well with injustice and rather naively added. “We’re all equal right? Why do they get special treatment?”

Yelena laughed openly and Monica scoffed. “You do realise how this sounds coming from an american white girl, right?” Yelena said, patting Kate’s knee. “I would keep thoughts like these to yourself if you don’t want to be shanked, Kate Bishop. Injustice is basically this prison’s middle name. Deal with it.”

Kate still wasn’t convinced so she sighed. “Why do you keep using my full name?” 

Yelena winked at her, but didn’t answer her question. “Let’s take pictures, ladies. I’ll try to get your best side.”

“What about Titania?” Jessica asked, because the celebrity was still in the hospital wing and wouldn’t get a picture.

“I’ll take care of that.” Yelena assured her. She appreciated that Jessica didn’t only seem to care about herself, even given her standoffish attitude. It reminded her a little bit of herself.

She waited for everyone to finish eating before moving them to an office. There was a computer there and a big empty wall with an off white blue screen in front of it. A guard was waiting for them there, making sure Yelena was doing everything correctly and checking that they didn’t break any rules.

Yelena turned on the computer and put the strap of the camera around her neck. “Okay, I want to make this quick because honestly I’m just fucking tired.”

She motioned for Kate to stand in front of the screen, as she was first in turn to take a picture. Yelena wasn’t a good photographer by any standard, but it was not like the pictures would appear in a magazine. She focused the lens on Kate’s face and paused. Zoomed in like this, she saw the slight blush of exhaustion and freckles on the archer’s cheeks. Her hair was curly and a little tangled. It looked really cute. 

“Did you take the picture yet?” Kate whispered awkwardly when Yelena didn’t move.

The widow quickly blinked, snapping out of it and took the picture without looking. “Next.” She said a little embarassedly.

Jessica stepped forward when no one else moved and looked at the camera with an expression of clear disdain on her face. For a woman whose job it was to take pictures of people, she actually hated getting her picture taken. 

Yelena let out a sigh. Why did everyone always insist on looking so pissed off in their pictures? At least Kate had looked sweet. She lowered the camera and frowned. “You got a smile for me?” She said, smiling at Jessica as an example. 

“Just take the goddamn picture” Jessica snapped while crossing her arms

Сука… ” Yelena cursed under her breath then she snapped the picture, bored. She hurriedly moved Monica and Nebula along too, taking their photo without even trying to make them look good. When she was done, she made them all wait around as she loaded up the pictures onto the computer and printed them out to be pasted onto the ID cards. The computer was tiresomely slow which annoyed Yelena even more, and she tapped her nails impatiently on the desk. Eventually, she finished and prepared the cards and then handed them out to each prisoner. “Put it on your chest like this.” She said, and pointed at her own. In her own picture, her eyes were puffy and red and she looked tired and annoyed. When every prisoner had pinned the new ID card to their chest, the guard came by and checked all of them.

“Everything is in order.” She simply said, and left the room. 

Yelena gave her a mocking salute when she had turned her back to the prisoners, which made Kate snicker.

When they returned to the cantina, a bunch of guards were waiting for them. They were each handed a mesh bag filled with stuff they would need around the prison, like a pillow and towel. Yelena turned around to face the group. “This is where we say goodbye. These guards will take you to your cells. Also, please don’t think me giving this tour means we’re friends or anything. I will forget your faces as soon as I close my eyes tonight.” She knew for at least one of them, that wasn’t true, but that was nobody’s business. 

 

Monica & Nebula

 

Nebula and Monica were both marched down Cellblock D by the guards. With each cell they passed Monica hoped this would be where she parted ways with the insane woman standing next to her, but each time they were made to continue side by side. All around them, the strange alien inmates watched the new girls with lusty interest. 

“You’re mine, bitch!” Yelled out a Contraxian woman. It was unclear at who it was directed.

Nebula eyed her and immediately the gold skinned woman shut up and backed away from the bars of her cell. Clearly terrified upon realising she’d just insulted the daughter of Thanos. “I didn’t mean anything by it.” She loudly proclaimed. 

The inmates carried on their way. The walk down the cellblock seemed to take forever to Monica, but eventually the guards stopped both her and Nebula at a cell on the second floor. “Alright this is your stop, maggots.” Barked one of the guards and the cell door steadily drew open with a loud clanging sound. 

“W-We’ll be sharing a cell?” Monica asked nervously.
“Looks like it, Terran. We’ll have plenty of fun together.” Nebula teased. She gained a sense of sick glee from the idea of sharing a cell with someone so pathetic as this Earthling. Especially because she had been listening to the insider info she had been providing all day. Monica would possibly be hated even more than herself.

They both were shoved in to their new living space and the door slammed behind them. While some of the other prisoners seemed to be free to roam around, they were locked in for whatever reason.

Monica turned around, terrified Nebula was going to do something. She kept an eye on the alien while scanning the rest of the room. 

Sitting cross legged on the bottom bunk was a stunning Krylorian woman. She had a tiny frame that made her look very small, light brown hair that was put up into pigtails, and overall had the air of a delicate princess about her. Her light pink skin contrasted greatly with her neon orange jumpsuit. She looked up at the two new women with apprehension, clearly not happy to be disturbed.

“Uh, hi.” Monica said uncomfortably. She hadn’t expected someone else to be there.

“Hello.” The Krylorian said in a meek voice. 

Monica looked from the one alien to the other and grinned painfully. “Uhm, while we are all gathered here, I just want to introduce myself. I’m Monica…Rambeau.” She said awkwardly. 

“Bereet-” the Krylorian started to introduce herself before being cut off.

“Great glad we could introduce ourselves.” Nebula rolled her eyes “Now get off my bed.”

For a second Bereet considered saying something, but she did exactly as told and stood at the wall of the cell. Nebula sat down on the rock hard bed.  

Monica opened and closed her mouth a few times. “Uhm, I guess I’ll take the floor.”

“Why don’t you sit here besides me?” Nebula asked in an intimidating tone. 

“Okay…” Monica whispered, severely uncomfortable. She shuffled forwards and sat on the bed next to Nebula, but as far away from her as possible. 

Nebula stared at her. “Are you scared of me?” 

Monica started to nod but quickly turned it into a sort of shrug. “Uh, I’m scared in general right now. This isn’t like a comfortable place to be in.”

“I’ve been in a lot of prisons before and I know this…” Nebula grabbed Monica’s chin. “A soft girl like you doesn’t survive more than a day.”

Monica’s breath hitched in her throat. “I’m n-not soft.” She panted. She wasn’t sure if Nebula was trying to seduce her or was in the process of snapping her neck.

“Not soft.” Nebula didn’t laugh but it was clear she found that amusing. “The other girls would slather you up in Gunavian jelly and go to town.” 

“I don’t even know what that means.” Monica whimpered.

“It’s not a good thing.” Bereet not-so-helpfully responded. To which Nebula shot her a look. 

“In short it means you’d be their little bitch.” 

“O-oh.” Monica grasped at the dark blue sheets that were untidily sprawled across the mattress with her left hand and tried to scoot away from Nebula’s grip on her jaw. 

Nebula grabbed the collar of her jumpsuit and pulled her even closer. “I’ve never done that to another inmate before…but I want to try now.” She loosened her grip on the uniform and brought her hand down to the zipper. With a sudden tug, she pulled it down. 

Monica quickly grabbed Nebula’s hands, and stopped her. “What are you doing?!” She said, alarmed. She looked at Bereet with pleading eyes, hoping for help. Maybe together they could overpower Nebula?

Nebula scowled and roughly grabbed Monica’s hand prepared to hurt her, before having a better idea. She shoved her off the bed and towards the entrance of the cell. “You will undress the Kylorian for me.”

Monica rubbed her elbow painfully. She scowled at Nebula. “No, I won’t. She doesn’t have to be a part of this.”

With a sudden jolt, Nebula rose from the bed and stood domineeringly.  “You’ll do what I say, or I’ll break both your hands and then do what I’d like with her.”

“Fine.” Monica said, convinced that Nebula had no problem following through on her threat. She rose from the floor, unsteadily and looked at Bereet, who seemed like she was trying to become one with the wall. She connected her eyes with the alien and mouthed “I’m sorry” before stepping forwards and slowly unzipping the girl’s prison uniform. She tried to be gentle as she slipped the garment down the other’s shoulders, revealing her light pink skin. She had small but perky breasts. Monica stopped, hesitating to continue undressing her and looked at Nebula worriedly.

“I didn’t say you could stop.” Nebula stared at her.

Bereet was entirely dazed as to what’s going on. One minute she was just resting in her cell after work in the mines, and now THIS was happening. She looked around a bit frantically seeing if maybe a guard was passing by or anything. 

Monica hooked her hands into the hem of Bereet’s jumpsuit and tugged, slowly pulling her pants down. She helped Bereet remove them, and threw them on the floor. She looked at Nebula for approval, hoping she was satisfied with whatever sick game she was playing.

Nebula was more than satisfied with this show. Something about Weaver’s search of her awakened something within her that made this far more entertaining then it would have been before.

Bereet suddenly was in her body again and meekly begged. “Please. Take her instead. I’ll help you.”

Monica looked betrayed and eyed Bereet and then Nebula, unsure what to do.

“Fine. Stand still for her.”

Bereet broke free of Monica’s grasp and then went through the same process, but nowhere near as gently.

Monica stood frozen. She had no idea what to do. Had she had her abilities, it wouldn’t even have been an issue. But she was powerless against Nebula right now and trapped in this small room. So she just let it happen, closing her eyes.

After a bit of being roughed around, her jumpsuit fell to the ground. Bereet stepped back, hoping that would be sufficient. Monica quickly wrapped her arms around herself, trying to cover up a bit.

Nebula laid down on her bed. “Come and lay next to me. You can stay there, Bereet.”

Shivering, Monica shuffled forwards and sat down on the bed, with her bare back turned towards Nebula and her legs dangling over the edge.

Nebula grabbed her shoulder and made her lay back against the wall. “I’m bored.” She complained.

“I’m s-sorry?” Monica offered lamely. She felt her insides quiver with terror, unsure what was going to happen. How did she end up here? She had always tried to do the right thing. Bitterly, she thought about Wanda and if she never met her, she probably wouldn’t be here in this situation right now.

Nebula opened up her jumpsuit and got comfortable. “I want you to show me how to feel…pleasure”. The concept of sex was new to Nebula, as was the idea of any personal pleasure, but here she was. 

Monica flushed. “Have you never…explored that on your own?” She was equally uncomfortable and curious.

“No.” Nebula answered simply in a sort of robotic tone.

“Oh.” Monica couldn’t even imagine having skipped that part of puberty, but then wondered if people like Nebula even had that sort of thing. She sat up slightly, leaning on her elbows. “Well, it’s like, different for everyone.” She felt a little weird discussing this in this absurd situation.

“Then explain it to me the best you can” 

Monica shuffled into a sitting position, leaning against the cold wall with her back. “Well, your body has points that make you feel good. I don’t know…if yours are the same as mine. But you can try to explore that with uh…your hands. Or whatever.” She bit her lip awkwardly.

Nebula thought of the way she felt while being searched. “Show me.”

“Uhm, I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with that.” Monica tried weakly. 

“I don’t care” She snapped, suddenly ready to be awfully violent again.

Monica let out a shuddering sigh. Guess she had no choice. She shuffled forwards on the bed, until she was close to Nebula. “Spread your legs.” She whispered.

Nebula spread her legs, showing her blue sex. 

With shaking hands, Monica slowly touched the inside of Nebula’s thigh, moving up to stroke between her folds. She checked, feeling ridiculous. “How does that feel?” 

“Pleasurable” She said again in a robotic tone. 

Monica furrowed her brow. That didn’t really sound like it was actually good. She carefully inserted her fingers inside Nebula while rubbing her clit with her thumb, unsure if this felt nice or not.

Nebula let out a subtle gasp, so Monica continued hesitantly.

Bereet sat down on the floor and contemplated her life choices, not even looking at the two other women.

Monica felt discomfort bubble in her stomach, but kept making the same movements until she couldn’t anymore and quickly tried to pull her hand away. Nebula caught her hand with her metallic arm and held her in place. “I didn’t say you could stop.” She hissed.

Monica sighed and continued. She pushed a second finger in, hoping that this would be over soon. She definitely wasn’t trying her best, the discomfort of the situation getting to her.

Nebula felt a tingling inside that was indescribable. She moaned again, louder this time. Loud enough the women in the cell next to them probably could hear. She was quickly building to an orgasm. 

Monica was slightly spurred on by the sounds of pleasure, so she quickened her pace while zoning out. If this was consensual, she would be way better at this and even enjoy it. But she tried her hardest, so maybe the alien would leave her alone from today onwards. 

“Fuck…” Nebula moaned as the pace hastened. The sensation of the Terran's thumb rubbing up against her clit pushed her closer and closer. Until with a loud hostile sounding cry she came. 

Monica froze, slowly removing her fluid covered hand and wiping it on the sheets. She hurriedly shuffled backwards while Nebula was coming down from her high, and wrapped the blue blanket around her bare chest. Her eyes were wide and she wanted nothing more than to disappear.

As she calmed down after her brilliant high, Nebula simply said “That was fun.”

Closing her eyes, Monica let out an uncomfortable laugh. “I’m sure it was.” She hoped she could sleep soon, because the whole tour had already tired her out, and she was beyond exhausted after this horrifying experience.

 

Jessica Jones

 

Jessica Jones was led by a guard in the opposite direction of Nebula and Monica, towards Cellblock D. The walk there was filled with a cold silence that she honestly quite preferred. She really wasn’t in the mood to have to talk to anyone right now, especially her captors. 

When they entered the cellblock she was met with the lusy jeers she’d already expected from prison and so she chose to just ignore the other inmates best she could. It’s not that she didn’t want to punch them in the face, it’s just that she was in no position to do anything right now and verbally engaging with them would just be more of an annoyance. The guard stopped her at a cell towards the back of the first floor and the door drew open. 

 

Jessica took one step into her cell and then froze. A quiet “oh fuck” escaped her lips as she saw who her cellmate was. The guards must have chosen this cell with her own personal torment in mind or someone had pulled some strings to have things line up, because sitting on the bed with her knees to her chest was her adopted sister Trish, though she was hardly recognizable after years of being in this horrible place. She looked tired, her long blonde hair was knotted and clumpy, and she was rather frail. 

 

Trish had undergone a massive fall from grace, having been a famous child actress turned host of a popular talk show to a violent drug addicted lethal vigilante and now inmate all thanks to Jessica. Her own dear sister knowingly handed her over to this fate. 

Every day in The Raft had been hell for her. Without her powers here, she was nothing but a pretty blonde celebrity surrounded by the toughest and scariest women in the world. She was terrified for months as she was felt up and mocked. She couldn’t count how many times a fellow prisoner had mockingly yelled out “It’s Patsy!” (The name of her show as a kid) and would demand she sing the theme tune. 

Eventually after the thousandth time being groped in the showers she had enough and she began to fight back. She punched Karli Morganthau in the face, but even that wasn’t enough. The fight that ensued sent poor Trish to the infirmary. While she had some skills in self defence, she was no match for the master mercenaries and assassins this place held.

 

“Jessica?” Trish asked in surprise, it was clear from how she said her name she was bitter. 

Jessica scrambled for the right response and just said a simple “yeah”

“So you’re finally in the joint too.” Trish smirked. “Do you know how long I’ve been hoping I’d see you marched onto this god damned hellhole? How many nights I prayed you would get to experience this place in all its awfulness as well? Now you’re finally here!” 

“Look Trish I’m really sorry…” Jessica began 

“I don’t give a fuck about how sorry you are!” yelled Trish. “This prison has been hell to me! I’m surrounded by the worst of the worst, been groped, mocked, asked to sing for those assholes, worked to exhaustion in the mines. I’ve rotted here for 5 years now and it’s your fault!”

Jessica couldn’t take it anymore. This was her absolute limit. “For fucks sake what did you want me to do Trish? Keep letting you roam the streets killing every shitty person you decided didn’t deserve to live anymore. You were out of control. I tried to talk you off that ledge, but no you just did whatever the fuck you wanted to do! You don’t deserve to be here, but I didn’t have any other fucking options! You think you're the only one this pained? It broke me to have to be the one to have to stop you. And you think you can take your shit about being in prison and dump it on me? You don't get to do that!” With that, Jessica dumped her stuff on the empty mattress on the floor and plopped onto it, pulling the blanket over her and turning her back to Trish. 

Trish sat their, flabbergasted, unable to speak, and turned around on her bed also. 




Kate & Yelena

 

After the other prisoners had been escorted to their cells, a guard approached Kate and grabbed her arm. The thought of Kate being brought away to some unknown cell with unknown roommates overwhelmed Yelena. She found herself suddenly speaking up. “I’ll take her.” She said, grabbing Kate’s arm too and started pulling her away from the guard’s grasp. The guard opened her mouth to protest but Yelena shook her head. “Don’t make me tell my sister. She will tell Valentina about your little relationship with the prisoner in cell 34.” 

The guard quickly nodded and brushed out of the room. The door fell closed with a bang, filling the silent cantina. 

“What’d you do that for?” Kate asked, confused. 

Yelena couldn’t explain herself so she shrugged. “For old time’s sake.” She grabbed Kate’s file, rummaging through the papers to find her cell number. Her face turned white when she saw who Kate was bunked with. “Blyad!” She swore.

“What?” Kate said, her voice an octave higher than normal.

Yelena tried to compose herself. “Nothing, just…not the best roommate.” She closed the folder with a snap. “Can’t be helped I guess, Kate Bishop.” She tried to appear standoffish. 

Kate gulped. “Am I bunked with Wanda?” She whispered, terrified.

Yelena let out a chuckle. “You don’t listen very well do you? Wanda doesn’t share her bunk with anyone. No, it’s not Wanda. It’s an Asgardian.”

“Wait, that’s a bad thing? Thor is Asgardian! And he’s hot and seems nice enough. And a hero.” Kate let out a relieved sigh.

“Well, they’re no Thor.” Yelena replied. She started walking, her feet feeling heavy. She felt weirdly jealous at Kate’s comment on Thor’s looks as she led Kate down the corridors of cells. Many prisoners looked at them and catcalled Kate. Yelena felt herself getting more and more worked up. 

“You’re going to shut up and go to sleep straight away.” Yelena ordered Kate, as they were nearing their destination. “Don’t talk to them or argue with her. Don’t even make eye contact.” 

“O-Okay.” Kate said, her teeth clattering. “Who is she?”

Yelena shook her head. “All you gotta know is she believes she is the queen of this place and she won’t hesitate to stab you if you look at her the wrong way.”

That didn’t sound terrifying at all. “Great.” Kate mumbled. Maybe getting stabbed on her first night would be an easy way out. At least then she didn’t have to stay in this prison any longer…

When they reached the cell, Yelena stopped Kate, holding her shoulders with both hands. Kate felt surprised by the sudden close contact. Yelena looked into her eyes, opening her mouth to say something. But she couldn’t bring herself to speak. “Just go.” Yelena whispered, pushing the young archer towards the cell and slamming the cell door behind her. The widow could feel her heart beat loudly in her ears and immediately lit a cigarette, marching away from the door angrily.

Kate nervously stepped into the cell and faced her new cellmate. 

Standing propped against the wall was a tall skinny looking woman with pale white skin. Her long oily black hair fell down over her face, giving her the look of some wandering spirit out of a horror movie. The almost undead look of her didn’t match with the bright orange jumpsuit she wore in the slightest. She looked at Kate from behind her veil of hair and smirked with a certain level of malice that sent a chill down the young archer’s spine. 

Kate immediately brought her eyes down to the floor, trying to follow Yelena’s advice. She blindly searched for a random bed on the floor, until her hands met with a mattress that was stained with blood. She let out a yelp, fell back and hit her head against the bed frame behind her. She rubbed the back of her head. “Ouch.”

Her cellmate suddenly spoke. She simply said “Kneel.”

 Kate looked up at her. “S-sorry?” she whimpered, terrified.

“Kneel..before your queen.”

“W-who are you?”

“I’m the goddess of death” she stated proudly. “Now kneel!”

“T-The Goddess of Death?” Kate wasn’t sure if she believed that Death herself was standing before her locked into a prison cell, but either way, clearly, this person wasn’t someone to piss off. 

She tossed her things onto the blood stained mattress and lowered herself down onto one knee, kneeling before her. She felt ridiculous, but also terrified. Yelena should have prepared her better, she thought bitterly. She also wondered whose blood was on the mattress and what happened to them. Those definitely weren’t period stains.

Hela gently placed her right hand upon Kate’s head. It was good the new girl already understood her place before her queen. “You shall make for a good thrall.” 

“A what?” Kate asked awkwardly, still keeping her head lowered. 

“My slave, a servant, one who does whatever I demand.” Hela moved her hand and took a step back. “You may rise”

The archer rose slowly from her kneeling position and smiled uncomfortably. She eyed the bloody mattress again, her eyes big and scared. “W-what happened there?” She blurted out before she could help it.

“The last thrall annoyed me” Hela answered matter-of-factly.

Kate could not believe this. How did she end up with the worst cellmate on earth? “Did you kill her?!” 

“Possibly” Hela boredly looked at her black nails.

“O-Okay…” Kate said, chuckling uncomfortably. She looked at the bag she had brought, which was laying awfully close to the stain of blood. There were no other mattresses to sleep on, just this one. “Is it okay if I unpack my stuff?” She asked in a shaky voice. “I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“Sleep on the mattress”

“But, it’s dirty!”

“Do as I order, or it’ll be your blood on there as well”

Kate stumbled over her own feet getting to her bag. She decided to spread her freshly washed, white towel across the blood so she could sleep on top of it. She kept nervously eyeing Hela, worried the woman might stab her if she turned her back to her for too long. Eventually, she got all her stuff out and fluffed up her pillow and then stood next to her bed, not willing to go lay down. 

Hela took a seat upon her own bed. “Lay down”

“You know I’m just not that tired yet!” Kate said breathlessly, smiling at her cellmate. Her eye was twitching. 

“What did I say about not doing what I command?”

With shaking hands, Kate lowered herself to the floor, stumbling onto the mattress. She curled up on her side, watching Hela out of the corner of her eye. She didn’t dare close her eyes. She could feel her nervous heart beat in her throat and ears. 

Hela simply rested on her bed and stared down at Kate. It was almost a shame the girl didn’t have any fight in her. It was entertaining to break the spirits of her cellmates. 

Kate took shallow breaths, keeping her eyes wide open, and didn’t even dare to fall asleep the entire night, even after Hela’s breathing had evened out next to her. 

Chapter 4: The Phoenix and The Witch

Chapter Text

As the sun rose over the ocean and the next morning arrived, the prisoners in the infirmary were woken up by the nurse to take their medicine and eat their breakfast which consisted of some unidentified slop this morning. The environment was hostile and sterile and the doctors barely cared about their health, but at least they had more comfortable beds than in their cells and they didn’t have to go to work.

Wanda woke with a start when the nurse lightly tapped her cheek. Her head felt extremely heavy and like it was filled with cotton. And it hurt. A lot. She let out a soft groan, confused at where she was. Her big green eyes opened and the light inside the room blinded her briefly. When her vision adjusted, she saw the nurse, who was checking on her IV. Next to her bed, sat Jean Grey. She was sitting rigidly upright in the hospital chair, wringing her hands nervously as she seemed to be waiting for Wanda to wake up.

“Hi.” Wanda said groggily, wanting her girlfriend to stop being so stressed.

“You’re finally awake!” Jean exclaimed with great relief. 

Wanda let out a soft chuckle, which made her face hurt. “What happened?” She whispered. She could not remember much at the moment. 

“Uhm, I was told Carol Danvers started a fight with you and then knocked you out.” Jean had asked the nurse earlier. “Don’t worry. She’ll pay for this.” Jean’s eyes flashed angrily.

Wanda frowned, which, again, hurt her face. She brought her hands up to feel the skin and pressed down on it. “Ouch.” She looked at Jean with watery eyes. “I don’t remember.” She started to breathe quicker, feeling panicky. “Did I do anything wrong? Did I hurt somebody?” 

Jean looked at Wanda, concerned by the fact she assumed it was her own fault instead of just focusing on the fact that Carol attacked her. “No. Of course you didn’t”

“How do you know? You weren’t there!” Wanda snapped. “What if they take the kitchen away from me? Who’s running the kitchen right now?!” She started whimpering at the idea of losing the only thing that was worth getting up for. 

Jean sat silent for a moment. To Wanda she merely was taking a moment to think, when in actuality she was currently digging through the witch’s mind looking to see what actually happened. Wanda’s thoughts and memories were always jumbled and confusing, compared to others. While the memory was blurry, she did see that Wanda freaked out at a new inmate, someone she recognized, after they dared to mention her children. There was a flash of red burning energy that was uncontrollable, and then Carol stepped into the kitchen and suddenly everything went dark. 

She looked at Wanda solemnly and then said “I’m sure whatever happened can’t be blamed on you. New inmates tend to cause problems.”

Wanda breathed in slowly, trying to calm herself. She frowned then. “How do you know it had to do with a new inmate? Did someone tell you what I did?”

“Well I told you I asked the nurse earlier, didn’t I?”

Wanda looked at her girlfriend, suspicious. “Why would a nurse know what happened?” She felt her jaw set as she realised what had happened. She let out a disappointed breath as she leaned back against the pillows defeatedly. “You did it again, didn’t you?”

Jean sighed and then looked at Wanda pleadingly. “I’m sorry. I just thought it would help since you didn’t remember and I could.” She tried to excuse her behaviour hurriedly, not wanting Wanda to make a big deal out of it.

In truth, Jean enjoyed being able to overpower the witch. Their relationship worked because Jean felt superior to Wanda and moments like these only made that feeling stronger for Jean. She felt angry that Carol had dared to hurt what in her mind belonged to her though, and wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, but first wanted to make sure her girlfriend was okay.

Wanda had deflated in the pillows in the meantime, feeling pissed off at her loss of memory and the fact that Jean had once again broken a promise. Her head hurt and she wanted to sleep, but was too worried about what she might or might not have done. And the kitchen?

She let her eyes travel around, landing on the tray of food on the next bed over. It looked like a discoloured, messy slop. 

Wanda opened her mouth in shock. “What the fuck is that?”

Jean followed her eyeline and let out a chuckle. “I don’t know.” She looked at Wanda’s bruised face and her eyes softened. She scooted closer, pulling the chair along with her, and held Wanda’s hand. She wasn’t bothered by the fact that the other’s fingers were stained black, like she had dipped them in ink.

“Listen, I’m sorry, okay?” She tried her best to look very sorry indeed.

Wanda sighed slowly. “You know I don’t like it when you look in my head. I don’t want you to see it.” She whispered.

Jean nodded eagerly. “I understand. I was just trying to help. And I did see that it was all their fault. It was Carol and her friend, the new prisoner. They did this.” She internally scolded Danvers for hurting what was hers. Because that’s how she thought about Wanda.

The witch blinked tiredly, her eyes still wet with tears. “Really?”

“Really. And we won’t let them get away with this. I won’t let them get away with this.” She squeezed Wanda’s hand, feeling anger swell up in her stomach at the sight of her in this hospital bed. She wasn’t only angry because Wanda got hurt, but also because Carol dared to defy Jean and hurt her girl. The sheer disrespect made her blood boil. She could feel her demeanour darken. Something inside her changed. The desire to take revenge deepened, until it was all she could think about.

She suddenly ripped her hand from Wanda’s and stood up. “I gotta go.” She didn’t even make eye contact with Wanda as she tore away from the bed and marched out of the room.

 

Wanda stayed behind, her hand still on her stomach, dropped where Jean had let go of it. Her eyes filled with tears as the door slammed behind her girlfriend. This wasn’t the first time Jean had done this, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. The personality switches were part of being with Jean. It happened unexpectedly, which made it confusing for the already very unstable witch. She was just about to turn around to face the wall and have a good cry, when a tray of food clattered against the wall next to her, making her jump.

“You expect me to eat this shit?!” Yelled the woman who threw it, Titania. The tray and its contents were now currently lodged deep into the wall of the infirmary. “There is nothing that can make me eat that slop”

“Well then you can starve!” yelled the overworked and tired nurse who was tending to all the prison’s sick and wounded. She was busy enough as it is, she didn’t need to worry about some spoiled bitch who had a complaint for every single thing. 

Wanda watched as some of the slop dripped down the wall next to her. She sniffed loudly and turned around to face the prisoner who had thrown it. 

“I just wanted to let you know that the food normally isn’t this bad.” She said in a small, tearful voice. 

“It better not be! It looked like it was pulled from the trash. I need to speak with whoever runs the kitchen.” Titania huffed.

Wanda let out a soft laugh. “Well, that would be me.” She wiped her tears in vain, as she was still upset.

Titania looked at her awkwardly and then continued. “Well then you clearly shouldn’t be in charge of things!”

Wanda scoffed. “It looked like that because I’m here and not in the kitchen.” She rolled her eyes at the new prisoner, offended at her lack of respect towards a superior, especially one that cooked for her, normally. “Out of curiosity, who is in charge currently?”

“How am I supposed to know? I just woke up and I don’t remember what ever happened for me to get here.” Titania groaned. “I remember how I got here. That bitch Jennifer attacked me! I just got here and she decided to pick a fight with me over nothing.” She had skillfully shifted the conversation back to being about herself. 

“You fought the Green One?” Wanda said, her accent poking through slightly. Challenging She-Hulk was probably at the top of the list of don'ts in this prison.

“Yes I fought her and could’ve won…” She tried to brag. Even in prison she felt the need to make herself sound better than she actually was. It was a coping mechanism really. 

“I’m not so sure about that.” Wanda replied. She had come face to face with Jen before, when she had just gotten here, and she was definitely strong. “Why did you pick a fight on your first day anyway?” She noted, having never seen Titania here before and remembering the fact that she said she recently arrived.

“I didn’t! She picked a fight with me. I was just being given a tour when she went crazy and tried to kill me” Playing the victim was practically something Titania had perfected. “You have no idea what it’s like having everything taken away and now being a lowly inmate. I mean this jumpsuit is absolutely hideous…” in her rant about how much she hated prison she seemed to forget that she was talking to a fellow inmate who had been through exactly the same process. 

Wanda listened to the self centred woman talk, kind of half tuning her out. It was annoying, but somehow also a little comforting to listen to someone else talk shit. She nodded when needed.

“...and then the intake! Forcefully undressing me and then poking and prodding me like I’m not even human. I can’t believe I’m in a place like this! This is some mistake. I’m not a horrible person like everyone else here.”

“You know, I’m only telling you this because you’re new, but you would do well being a little more respectful. I could refuse to give you food if you keep insulting me like this, for example.” Wanda said, without a hint of emotion. She would not let this lowly, self-centred woman get the better of her, even in her weakened state.

“You can’t do that.” Titania replied. “Certainly that must go against some rule of the prison.”

Wanda rolled her eyes, which kinda hurt. “When are you going to learn that there are no rules? I can do whatever I want.” This wasn’t necessarily true, but Titania didn’t know that.

Titania crossed her arms like a huffy child. “You’re just taking the fact that your girlfriend is toxic af out on me.” She said, managing to somehow play both the victim in a situation that wasn’t that serious but also point out something valid. 

Wanda recoiled slightly as if she had just been physically slapped in the face. Her teary eyes widened with shock. “What?”

“I said you’re just taking out your anger at your toxic girlfriend out on me.” Titania repeated. She felt quite validated in her point. 

“What toxic girlfriend?” Wanda spit out, angrily. She felt her anxiety rise.

“The redheaded mutie.”

Wanda ignored the slur and swallowed heavily at the wild accusation. “What makes you say that?” She said in a small voice.

“Well I was like super bored so I was eavesdropping on your conversation and she sounds toxic to me. Just sayin’”

“She’s not toxic!” The Witch whispered defensively, but felt her anxiety worsen, coating her voice.

“Okay, whatever.” Titania replied sarcastically. She let the silence linger.

Wanda’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “What if she was?” She sounded quite innocen, which was uncharacteristic and unexpected from her. 

“I don’t know. You admit that I was right?” Titania was determined to ‘win’ this conversation with an Avenger. 

“I…” Wanda shrugged, unsure. “I don’t know what is toxic and what isn’t.”

“Her reading your mind without your consent seems kinda toxic not gonna lie…”

Wanda had to agree there. “Yeah…I asked her not to do it.”

“And she did it anyways, right?”

“Yeah, but it’s okay right? As long as we talk about it and stuff…” Wanda said, half-heartedly. This was usually how they had fixed problems in the past.

Titania looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “No! That is not okay. I’m really needing to break this down for you?”

“I don’t understand…” Wanda said, genuinely confused.

Titania paused for a moment and really took in her current situation. She was in a supermax prison in the middle of the ocean in the infirmary after getting in a fight with She-Hulk, now talking to an Avenger about consent. Her week couldn’t possibly get any more absurd than this. “In all honesty this topic is totally boring me and I don’t care that much or whatever, but like you have a say over your body…or your mind in this case. If she can’t respect that then there is a severe issue.”

Wanda’s face fell. She could not count the amount of times people had disrespected both during her lifetime. “Oh.” She simply said and didn’t respond, seemingly deep in thought. 

Titania broke the silence. “Don’t feel pressured to thank me for the help or anything”

Wanda nodded absent-mindedly. “Thanks.”

They both stayed quiet after that. Wanda considered what Titania had told her, something that should be kind of logical to her, she had somehow been too blind to see the warning signs, or had just ignored them. It all seemed really clear to her now. She thought about how Jean had left in a hurry so suddenly and realised they needed to talk before Jean would do something stupid. She grabbed the emergency beeper on her beside, pressing the button down harshly so a nurse would come to her aid.

The nurse looked stressed and busy, so when she saw Wanda wasn’t literally dying she gave her a frustrated groan. “What?!”

Wanda smiled apologetically, using her somewhat scary but still palpable charm to hopefully touch on the nurse’s good side. “Uhm, I was just wondering if I could leave? Seeing as you’re so busy and all, I thought I would free up another bed for someone else.” Her voice was sickly sweet and she made sure to smile brightly.

The nurse rolled her eyes, not really affected by her charm tactics but she still took Wanda’s chart. “It seems like they’re holding you in case of a concussion.” She eyed Wanda boredly, her eyes gliding over the others bruised face and watery eyes. “You don’t look concussed to me.” 

Wanda nodded eagerly. “Yeah, I feel fine.” Her face hurt a lot, but she had endured worse.

“‘Kay, I don’t care that much. The sooner you get back in the kitchen the better, to be honest. Food is disgusting today.” The nurse started writing on Wanda’s chart, seeming to get the administration in order. 

“Who’s running the kitchen right now?” The Witch asked, dreading the answer.

“Agatha.” The nurse gave Wanda a pointed, knowing look and tore off the chart, giving the paper to Wanda. Her eyes then fell on Titania, who had clearly been listening to their conversation. 

“You can leave too.” She waved her hand dismissively at the new inmate. Apparently, Titania did not even seem to have a chart. The nurse dropped a bag of their belongings at both of their feet and hurried off.

Titania opened her bag and frowned at the idea of having to put the ugly orange jumpsuit back on. “Hey, do we have somewhere we can change in private?!” She asked the nurse, but the nurse had already busied herself handling a different patient (or she was just ignoring her). 

Wanda’s hands twitched angrily as she took off the blanket and let herself slide out of the hospital bed. Agatha running the kitchen was probably one, if not the worst possible outcomes of this whole ordeal. Not only was she a terrible cook, she had spent every day since getting in here trying to get into the kitchen, either to apply for a job for the hundredth time, or try to seduce Wanda. Her flirting was out of control and it made Wanda uncomfortable, because Jean seemed to blame her for Agatha’s behaviour as if it was somehow her fault. She needed to get to Jean as soon as possible so she could get back to the kitchen that night. She had no issue stripping herself of the ragged hospital dress in front of everyone. She pulled on her comfortable, well-worn jumpsuit and grabbed her things, her movements hurried and stressed. She motioned for Titania to do the same, because she still stood there helplessly. “Just put it on.”

Titania rolled her eyes and quickly took off her dress and changed into her uniform. Before they parted ways, Titania looked at Wanda, their eyes connecting. “Do yourself a favour, break up with her.” She said, and then left the room, being led away by a guard to get to her cell.

 

Wanda, who was allowed to roam free through most of the prison, took no shortcuts and immediately hurried over to Jean’s room, which was a big, private one with a nice comfortable bed with nice, purple satin sheets, especially compared to the normal bunks. There was a shelf in the corner with a few good books that could not be found within the prison library, and on the top of it a few ‘toys’ on display she had traded with the Widows for her own contraband. On the back wall Jean had carved a large ‘X’ within a circle in memory of her old days in the X-men (they had disbanded after Professor Xavier was assassinated). Jean was lying on her bed, it was still an hour before inmates were supposed to wake up. She was awake, though.

The door swung open wildly as Wanda entered with a brisk pace. She stopped in front of Jean, the courage she had built up to confront Jean immediately dissipated as she stood looming over her. The barred door slowly shut behind her and she breathed out slowly. “Hi.” 

Jean looked at her with surprise. “They let you out already?” She asked in a happy tone, glad to see her. She seemed to be back to her normal, chill self. For now.

“Uh, kind of. Anyway, there’s something I need to talk to you about.” Wanda said, her voice unsteady but she was trying really hard to sound tough and stand her ground. 

“Is it about Carol? We just talked about this, I’m going to make sure she pays for laying a finger on you. I promise”

“No, it’s…it’s about us.” Wanda looked at her feet, too scared to make eye contact. 

Jean looked concerned now. “What do you mean?” She didn’t expect this.

Wanda moved to sit down next to Jean, pulling at the skin of her blackened thumbs nervously as she talked, still not even daring to look at Jean. “Well…I’ve done some thinking…And uh, I think our relationship is not good for me.” She almost whispered the last part. “There was a girl in the hospital that said your behaviour is kind of toxic.”

“And you’re going to listen to ‘some girl’ you just ran into in the hospital? What the fuck does she know?” Jean was instantly pissed. “Our relationship isn’t good for you? Really? Because I happen to remember protecting you when you first got here and Agatha wouldn’t stop groping you!”

Wanda felt anxiety rise in her chest, realising she had said the wrong thing. “I know that…but…you used your powers on me again, even though I told you not to do that.” She remembered what Titania had said. “That’s not okay.” She repeated the influencer’s words. Compared to Jean’s, her voice was super soft and her tone calm.

“You use your powers all of the time! Besides, do you know how hard it is to not use my telepathy?” 

“That’s different! I use my powers to cook, to provide for the people here.” Wanda protested immediately. 

“Okay and? I use my powers to make sure we’re safe. I only looked at your thoughts to find out who hurt you. I did that to help you! I always help you!” Jean’s tone became urgent and emotional, but bitter.

“I know that, and I really appreciate it!” Wanda started speaking louder now, too. “But you don’t need to protect me. I can stand up for myself!”

“Like you stood up against Carol…or Agatha?”

“I don’t need you to overpower me or tell me what to do or to take care of me!” Wanda shouted frustrated, her fingers grabbing the fabric of her own jumpsuit tightly and angrily. “I’m done with it.”

Jean got up close to Wanda and put a finger against her chest. “You’ve always liked me overpowering you before.”

The atmosphere now laid heavy with both anger but also sexual tension as they challenged each other with their eyes.

Jean continued, her voice low. “I think I need to show you how much you’re mine. It seems you’ve forgotten. Now be a good girl for mommy… and take off your clothes.”

Wanda swallowed heavily, the dominant tone of Jean’s words hitting her like a truck. She tried to remember what they had been talking about, but Jean had said the exact thing that would make her cave. She could feel her stomach pool with desire almost painfully and bit her lip. “I…” She looked at Jean and saw the other’s eyes shine brightly with longing and another emotion she could not really discern. It was really hard for her to look away, melting into Jean’s gaze. “Okay.” She whispered, and slowly unzipped the jumpsuit she was wearing. She had lost the urge to fight instantly.

“Good girl.” Jean smiled and slowly pulled open Wanda’s jumpsuit, unveiling the witch’s cute breasts. She then took hold of her zipper and roughly dragged it down the rest of the way. 

Wanda carefully put her hands on Jean’s cheeks and leaned forward to kiss her, needing to taste her lips. She couldn’t think of anything else and their conversation was long forgotten. 

Jean slid her hand between the opening of the uniform, down Wanda’s abdomen, and towards her sex. Her long elegant fingers met against her pussy and she began to rub her. 

Wanda let out a strained breath, small waves of pleasure filling her up. Jean was very good at touching her in all the right spots. “Please…” She whispered against Jean’s wet lips.

Jean started to pick up her pace, her fingers rubbing back and forth against Wanda’s wetness. 

“Please keep going.” Wanda whispered, soft moans escaping her throat. She was frustrated with herself for giving in to Jean, but it felt so good that she decided to worry about it later.

Jean enjoyed Wanda’s little pleas, relishing in the fact that she was able to overpower here once again. She had been scared for a second that she had really gone too far, but knowing she still had The Scarlet Witch under her control calmed her, while at the same time turning her on immensely. She loved being able to make her moan with the slightest touch, and teasing her where she could. Being in control gave her an enormous rush of adrenaline and satisfaction. She promptly removed her hand from between Wanda’s legs and licked them off, tasting her. 

Wanda let out a frustrated sound immediately. She wanted Jean to continue more than anything and felt the wetness pool between her thighs. 

“Take that off.” Jean demanded, motioning towards the half removed jumpsuit Wanda was still wearing. She herself got up and removed her own clothes, before making sure the cell door was locked so no one would intrude. She walked over to one of her many drawers, opened it skillfully and removed something from inside.

Wanda had hurriedly taken off the jumpsuit and her undergarments and watched what Jean was doing shyly. A soft blush had made its way on her cheeks as she rubbed her legs together.

Jean fumbled with the straps a bit before adjusting the harness. She immediately felt the power rush through her as she approached Wanda, the thick, dark strap-on dangling between her legs. 

Wanda looked a little intimidated. They had definitely done this before, and it had always been enjoyable for her. Jean definitely knew what to do. It was just a bit unexpected in this moment, but not unwelcome.

“Lay down.” Jean commanded Wanda, who nodded and immediately complied.
Jean climbed onto the bed, on top of Wanda, grabbing the other’s wrists and pinning them above her head, so she could not really do anything. Before she moved any further, she looked into Wanda’s eyes. “Tell me. Who’s the boss here?” 

Wanda’s cheeks flushed. “You.” She whispered, wriggling in anticipation. She wanted Jean to enter her already.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Jean’s voice was low and dominant.

“You are.” Wanda said a little louder, and before she could react, Jean had thrust forward, the thick strap-on entering Wanda and stretching her out. Wanda’s hips immediately buckled and she let out a surprised moan.

“That’s right. You’re mine.” Jean said, and started thrusting. Slowly at first, testing the waters and not wanting to hurt Wanda too badly. The Witch let out soft whimpers and tried to move her hands, but they were pinned securely in place. 

Jean felt the pressure of the strap-on on her own clit as well, pleasuring her while she started fucking Wanda harder and rougher. 

Wanda couldn’t contain her moans anymore and let herself loudly make sounds of pleasure. She could feel the strap-on rubbing against her walls, stretching her out from the inside. “It feels so good.” She whimpered. 

“Only I can make you feel good, you understand? None of them will ever love you like I do.” Jean whispered hoarsely in Wanda’s ear as she thrust her hips forwards. Wanda nodded and her brows unforrowed, the stress seeming to leave her body completely. “Yes, Yes…” She complied, her chest moving up and down with each movement.
Jean continued until she could hear Wanda’s moans quicken, indicating that she was close. She connected her lips to Wanda’s neck and kissed her feverishly, deepening her thrusts as far as she could. 

“I want you to cum for me.” She whispered, wanting the one to be in control of when Wanda would fly over the edge. Right now, she felt on top of the world. 

Wanda's body trembled and she squeezed her eyes shut as she could feel her walls contracting. Sweet pleasure filled her senses as she came, her legs pressed together and her chest heaving with heavy breaths. 

“Good girl.” Jean said, pulling out quite suddenly and giving Wanda a sloppy kiss. She let her ride out her orgasm while unclasping the strap-on and discarding it to the side. She cradled Wanda’s face and pulled a stray piece of hair behind the witch’s ear. 

Wanda’s breathing calmed down and she melted into Jean’s side, feeling comfortable and safe in her embrace. Her head was resting on Jean’s chest, listening to her heartbeat. It seemed stupid to have started a fight now, looking back. She realised she had been wrong. “I’m sorry. You were right. Thank you for always protecting me.” She whispered softly.

Jean, feeling victorious, kissed Wanda’s cheek. “It’s okay. I forgive you.” She hadn’t forgotten what Wanda had said, and was already overthinking and trying to figure out how to fix this in the long run, but showed no sign of this.

They stayed cuddling a little longer, before Jean eventually had to get up and get to work. She convinced Wanda to stay there for a while, because there was no kitchen duty to be done until later that night. Wanda fell asleep wrapped in Jean’s sheets, a soft smile playing at her lips, her worries forgotten.

Chapter 5: Breakfast

Chapter Text

 

With the blare of the klaxon alarm, Kate’s first morning of many within The Raft began. The tired groans of inmates all across the cellblock could be heard as they all groggily got up.
Kate’s heartbeat suddenly quickened as she heard Hela slowly rising from her bed beside her. Kate couldn't wait for the cell door to open so she could get as far away from the terrifying Asgardian Goddess of Death as possible. She had not slept a wink, keeping her eyes spread wide open during the night, in case her cellmate might try something. Thankfully, nothing had happened, so far. She pretended to sleep a little longer, so hopefully Hela would leave the cell before her. 

Suddenly, Hela was ominously looming over her, staring down at her. “Awaken, my thrall.” She commanded in a cold distant voice. 

Kate shuddered. The voice scared the crap out of her. “I’m awake.” She whispered softly, not wanting Hela to think she was unconscious and vulnerable. 

Hela smirked, glad to see her subject was properly scared. She stepped over Kate and moved to the bars then stopped. She slowly turned around, leaned over, and brought her pale face to her cellmate’s. “How did you sleep?” she asked, knowing Kate hadn’t slept at all. 

“Great!” Kate lied with a fake smile plastered on her face. Her eyes felt so heavy they were almost filled with tears. She got up with difficulty, her muscles aching from the lack of rest.

Before Hela could get any closer, the cell door drew open and guards could be heard ordering for everyone to step out of their cells. 

Relieved, Kate hurried forwards and slipped through the door, speed walking towards the cafeteria, not looking back.

 

On the other side of the prison, Yelena awoke with a soft yawn, comfortable at the top of her bunk bed. She could have had a fancy king sized bed if she wanted, her sister had enough influence to get her anything she wanted. But Yelena preferred this bed. Ever since she was a little kid, having a bunk bed had seemed like the coolest thing to her. She didn’t share her room with anyone and the bottom bunk was filled with books and other things she had collected over the months she stayed here. She wasn’t very good at keeping her room organised, but felt a freedom in doing so. She could do whatever she wanted with her room, so why couldn’t it be messy?

She climbed down the small ladder to get to the floor level of the room and looked at herself in the mirror she had hung up in her room, applying her usual contraband-chique eyeliner look as she tried to wake up more. She thought about the previous day and everything that had transpired. Then she thought about Kate and wondered how her night had been. Hoping to see her at breakfast, she checked her own breath by breathing into her hand and smelling it. Wasn’t terrible, for being in prison. She hurried down towards breakfast as fast as she could, eager to see Kate.

 

Monica awoke with a start, her spine hurting all over from the uncomfortable mattress on the ground. She groaned, having forgotten for a second where she was until it all came rushing back to her. The events of last night staggered her and she internally cringed at what she had done. She carefully peeked at the bed Nebula had claimed for herself and was surprised to see not only Nebula sleeping there, but also Bereet. The tiny form was snuggled up against Nebula, who lay awake staring at the ceiling with a smug look on her face. Monica quickly glanced away, not looking to converse with either of them. As the guards rounded them up, she looked at her feet and stayed silent.

Nebula had had her best night's sleep ever. Her satisfaction was felt deep into her core and she had enjoyed the warmth of Bereet sleeping next to her. She had never been a physically affectionate person, because how could she be as the daughter of Thanos? This new life pleased her, and she relished in having control over her cellmates already. As they were escorted down to breakfast, she locked eyes with several other inmates, sizing them up and making plans for more sexual encounters. Her arm was loosely wrapped around Bereet’s shoulder, who seemed to quiver with either fear or excitement. Or both.

 

Jessica groaned as she fought to roll out of bed. Last night she’d had the same awful dreams she’d had for the last five years. Just like every other night, he had been there with her and she was helpless in her own body to his every awful command. Instinctively Jessica  stretched her arm out and reached for the bottle of whisky on her nightstand but then was harshly reminded she wasn’t in her flat and there was nothing for her to drink away her problems with. She opened her eyes and forced herself to sit up, she could see that Trish was already up and getting dressed. They both chose to not say anything to each other out of a mixture of anger and awkwardness for the morning and as the door opened they kept their distance, each getting lost in the crowd of inmates marching to breakfast. Just before they were entering the cafeteria however, Jessica noticed Trish being pulled astray by a rather nervous and twitchy looking inmate. They seemed to have some sort of disagreement, before Trish scanned the hallway, pulling out a small bag of some white substance and giving it to the other prisoner. She then noticed Jessica looking at them and whipped her head around, hurrying into the cafeteria. 

Jessica wasn’t an idiot. She knew exactly what she had just witnessed and the knowledge of it had gotten rid of any hunger she might have felt. She still entered the cafeteria though, because it kinda felt like she was supposed to.

 

Yelena had been sitting at her own table, no one daring to approach her. She had no idea what Natasha was up to, but her and the other Widows always had some secret trade going on, so she supposed it was that. She drummed the table nervously with her fingers, partly worrying Kate had already been murdered in her jail cell on the first day. Relief flooded through her when she saw the archer show up. She beckoned her towards her table, taking her bare feet off the bench. When Kate got closer, the relief she had felt was instantly replaced with worry. Kate looked horrible. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot and she looked around at every sound that was heard, as if she was scared something was going to hurt her.

“Hi…” Kate said awkwardly as she approached Yelena’s table. She was unsure if it was a good idea to sit down, but to be honest, it was nice seeing a familiar face, even if it was Yelena’s. She still had no idea if the Widow could be trusted or not, but for now she would take it. She shuffled onto the bench opposite Yelena and felt the tiredness in her bones and eyes.

“You look rough, Kate Bishop.” Yelena commented, not trying to sound mean but rather concerned. She still had a habit of referring to Kate by her full name. “What happened?” She shook her head at a few inmates who were looking to sit down too, seeing the fact that Kate had joined Yelena at her table as an open invitation to do the same. 

Kate’s eyes bulged as she let out a pained laugh. “You weren’t kidding when you said she wasn’t like Thor. Like, I don’t know him or anything, but I’m betting he’s a lot nicer than her.” 

Yelena sighed. “Well yeah.” She checked Kate’s face and arms for any injury, but she seemed fine. “Did she hurt you?”

“No, she didn’t even touch me. But…” Kate looked around in a skittish manner. “She said she murdered her previous roomie. And she made me sleep on the mattress that was soaked with their blood.”

“Fuck.” Yelena commented. She had not heard of such a murder occuring, but she was not surprised.
They stayed silent for a while, both unsure what to say. 

“Are you hungry?” Yelena eventually offered, watching other inmates return with trays filled with some unidentifiable slop. “I’m guessing Wanda is still in the hospital, judging by the look of that food.” She commented.

Kate shrugged. “I could eat.”

Yelena stumbled up from their table. “Wait here.” She was sure no one would dare to sit next to Kate, a newbie, but still watched the table like a hawk as she went to get them both food. 

 

Agatha was standing behind the counter at the food court, a napkin covering her uncontrollable, bushy hair like a headscarf and making sure it stayed out of her face. She was wearing an apron and looked to be beside herself with joy. As she was scooping the disgusting slop onto each tray she smiled hugely at the person holding it, completely in her element. “Enjoy, hun!” She would exclaim, causing the recipient to scurry away as fast as they could. 

Yelena made eye contact with the witch, not afraid of her in the slightest. She knew that Agatha only fancied Wanda and did everything to get in her good graces, including being nice to all the other prisoners. 

“Two please.” She said, placing down two trays for her to fill.
“Now, you’re mighty hungry darling!” Agatha replied cheerily as she filled both trays. The slop splattered everywhere, making Yelena scrunch up her nose in disgust. 

“It’s not just for me. It’s for me and my…friend.” Yelena said, not sure why she was sharing this information. 

Agatha winked at her. “Well, enjoy!” 

Rolling her eyes, Yelena grabbed both trays and walked away without saying anything. Agatha seemed momentarily offended by her rudeness, but the moment someone new had turned up, her smile was back.

 

Monica Rambeau looked down at the disgusting grey substance that Agatha had served her, the mere sight of this “food” made her gag. In an attempt to push aside thoughts of the nausea building in her stomach she chose to redirect her focus to finding somewhere to sit, which wasn’t easy as more and more people filled the room and her options were further limited as she was worried about accidentally taking a seat at one of the many gangs' tables. That’s when she heard a loud shout and looked to see Carol trying to get her attention. 

Monica slowly walked over to the table Carol was sitting at, a little intimidated at her company. She spotted several women she had never met or heard about surrounding her. She stared at the bright red haired woman sitting to Carol’s right in particular. The woman’s hair was astoundingly long and thick, to the point that it was inhumanly possible to have that much hair. It circled all around her and even stranger it seemed to move ever so slightly. 

“Glad to see you didn’t get stabbed in your cell on your first night!” Carol smiled. “Please sit.”

Monica shyly took her seat in front of Carol and set her tray down on the table, she felt a bit like she was intruding on their group. “Thanks for uh…saving me in the kitchen yesterday.” She said awkwardly. 

“No need to say thanks. It really wasn’t that hard and honestly Wanda can tend to be a bit…unstable.” Carol was just a little bit (a lot) proud of the fact she won in a fight against the Scarlet Witch. “She shouldn’t be bothering you again.”

“Thanks.” Monica repeated, managing to sound even more awkward. She also highly doubted that Wanda would just let this go.

The redhead looked Monica over with a sense of dissatisfaction. “This is the woman you attacked the witch for?” She asked, her voice held a sense of regality that Monica found to be strange in a place like The Raft. 

“Yes.” Carol ignored her clear disproving tone. “Monica, this ever-pleasant-to-be-around woman is Medusa, former queen of the Inhumans. Medusa, this is Monica. Me and her go way back.”

“Hi.” Monica shifted on the bench uncomfortably. She had no idea what an Inhuman was, but it didn’t sound pleasant at all. She immediately got the sense that Medusa didn’t like her.

Medusa just nodded. She had nothing in particular against Monica, it’s just that while Carol was still focused on the merry high of having won the fight, she was more concerned with what effects punching Jean Grey’s personal sex toy in the face may have on the gang relations side of things. She eyed Monica, kind of trying to size her up. “Why did Wanda have a problem with you?” 

Monica swallowed. “Well I worked on a case in which she was involved. Well, kind of. She caused it, I guess. She might have kidnapped a whole town…” She wasn’t sure if she was allowed to share, because this was all still considered highly classified, but then again were the people that put her here really worth keeping secrets for?

Carol looked surprised at this information. “What?”

“Yeah, I don’t know, she had some sort of emotional breakdown I guess and her magic went crazy. We tried to help her…” Monica rambled. “I was even inside it for a little while.”

“You went inside Westview?” Someone else at the table asked. Her tone made it clear that this was something special to them, like a feat.

Monica hadn't expected anyone to know about Westview, so she was taken aback. “Yeah….” 

Carol cut the conversation short, not wanting everyone to get involved and keep asking Monica questions. “So why is she mad at you then?” 

Monica shrugged. “I don’t know. I guess she partly blames me for the loss of her family. She had some kids in the Hex.”

Carol and the others nodded knowingly. “Yeah, we know all about the kids. She’s kinda infamous here for  attempting to kill anyone who dares mention them to her. It’s basically the first rule to never bring up Wanda’s children.”

“Oh.” Monica said, feeling stupid now because that was exactly what she had done. “Well there you have it.”

Carol bit her lip nervously, thinking. “So, she went cray cray on you and I punched her. That’s definitely not good.” She had always been a punch first ask questions later kind of person and it had definitely gotten her in trouble before. She really couldn’t handle having another gang war with Jean and her mutants right now. 

“That is what I have been trying to explain to you. Your brashness has caused a diplomatic disaster.” Medusa interjected. She spoke as if she was in a political council and not sitting at a breakfast table talking to convicts. 

Carol seemed to put weight on her words though and nodded thoughtfully. “What do you think we should do?” She asked Medusa, like a child asking their mother for advice.

“We must do something to calm the waters. Like maybe meeting with Jean personally and apologising.”

Carol scoffed and bit the nail of her thumb. “I’m not apologising to her.” She said stubbornly.

Medusa was quickly getting annoyed. “Your ego is exactly what got us into this situation. If you can’t get over yourself we will have an outright war to deal with.”

Monica was watching the conversation like seeing a trainwreck in real time. “Well, maybe I can just…apologise for you?” She tried lamely. She didn’t want Carol to be in trouble because of her. She wanted to be in Carol’s good graces actually, feeling a distinct need to prove herself to her childhood hero. 

Carol shook her head. “No, no, that won’t be enough. We need…we need to fight them, I think.” The thought already made her feel excited and she wrung her hands together. “We can win.”

Medusa looked like she was about to scream now, but her regality kept that stress inside and she said calmly “I hate the mutant kin far more than you do, and yet I can at least see that they vastly outnumber us and a war would be idiotic”

Monica stuttered, the idea of causing an all out gang war terrifying her. “No, we need to do something else.” Just as she was about to propose a plan, she made eye contact with Nebula, who was heading over to a table together with Bereet. Her eyes widened as she remembered what had happened yesterday and she fell silent. 

Carol immediately followed her line of sight. “What, what?” She said, curious. She saw the blue Luphomoid across the cantina. She had never seen her before and had no idea why Monica was staring at her. “Who’s that?”

Monica shuddered. “She’s my roommate. In prison I mean.”

“Why do you look so terrified?” Carol said suspiciously.

“Well, she uh, isn’t a nice roommate.” Monica answered vaguely. She felt awkward discussing what had happened between them with Carol and especially her friends.

“Spill the beans, sis.” Carol pushed, looking excited to hear about more prison drama. “We can’t help you survive this place if you’re gonna keep secrets.”

Monica looked at the table, feeling herself turn red. “Uhm…she asked me about sex and stuff.” 

Carol let out a giggle. “Why are you all flustered? What are you like fifteen?”

“She made me touch her.” Monica blurted out. She truly felt uncomfortable with what happened and didn’t appreciate Carol laughing about it. Hearing Monica’s tone, Carol immediately turned more serious. “What?”

“She wanted me to show her. Like, how to feel nice.” 

“Oh man….that’s fucked up.” Carol felt bad. “I shouldn’t have laughed, Monica. Sorry”

 She looked at Nebula again, remembering her face. “We won’t let that happen again, I promise.” She moved her hand to cover Monica’s, but the other quickly pulled away.

Though she may not have seen it that way, Carol’s outrage was more than a little hypocritical considering her and her gang had done things similar, if not worse, to loads of other weaker prisoners. It was simply the nature of life at The Raft in her eyes, and yet now that it was being done to someone she cared about it was an issue.

Medusa, who was  unfazed by what was just discussed, cleared her throat. “So back to the mutie issue..”

“I’m gonna make sure that blue bitch gets what’s coming to her.” Carol said with gritted teeth. Seemingly not having heard Medusa’s attempt at a topic change.  She was ready to get up and go over, but Medusa clapped her hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down.

“You shall stay in your seat.”  She said sternly. “I don’t care about your friend’s quaint sexual exploits, no matter how much she didn’t enjoy it. There is a possibility of war because you keep doing this, you cannot just go about attacking whoever you are displeased with.”

Carol seemed to struggle with Medusa’s extensive vocabulary. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of her words. “Why not? I’m strong. I don’t want anyone to disrespect me or the people I care about.” She knew she needed Medusa to be her moral compass and for her advice, but it was definitely annoying that she was always talking her down from fights. She let out a defeated sigh at the other’s pointed look though, and sunk in her seat. “Fine…But I’m still not apologising.”

Medusa sighed. She missed the civilised nature of the politics of Attilan. 

Before anyone else could say anything, Carol felt one of her companions tap her arm urgently, trying to get her attention. Carol turned her head, annoyed, until she saw Jean Grey, a tray of slop in her hands, walking straight towards their table.

“Oh, fuck.” She said.

Jean approached them, a smile on her face. “Hey, good morning.”

They all stared at her with deep dread. Monica gulped like a fish but was the first to find her voice. “Hi?” 

“I just wanted to quickly come by and have a chat. I talked to Wanda this morning. She told me what happened. I wanted to apologise for her behaviour.” Not a hint of sarcasm or anger was found on Jean’s face and she looked kindly at all of them. “As you know, Wanda’s….you know. She has some issues. I am glad no one got hurt. She’s my responsibility. And I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”

Carol and Monica both were stunned silent. 

“We accept your gracious apology and on our behalf Carol will, in the future, be more thoughtful before starting fights.” Medusa was the only one to be able to formulate a response.

Jean seemed satisfied with that and nodded. “Thank you.” She walked away, sitting with her usual group of mutants. Wanda was nowhere to be found. 

“What the fuck just happened?” Carol whispered, half chuckling. She felt so confused. This was so unlike Jean that it was almost funny.

“I exceedingly suggest you take your win and keep your emotions in check.” Medusa said quickly, wanting this to be over.

“Alright, alright.” Carol raised her hands, suspicious but somewhat happy with the outcome. Maybe Jean was mellowing out?

On the other side of the room, Jean had placed down her tray and took a bite of the food. It tasted extremely salty and she spit it out. “That’s disgusting.” She said to her accomplices, who all looked eager to know what she had said to Carol and her crew. She looked them all over and then beckoned Rogue, who was right next to her, to come closer.

“I need you to do somethin’ for me.” She whispered. 

“Whatever you need, sugah.” Rogue replied, in her cute Southern Belle accent. 

Jean dug into her pocket and pulled out a rolled up stack of paper. She peeled off a bunch of 50 dollar bills and stuffed them in Rogue’s hand. “I need you to talk to that guard. And I need you to make sure that today, Carol and that new girl are shackled together in the mines. And no one else is there.” She hissed in Rogue’s ear.

Rogue nodded, ready to do anything her leader asked of her. “What is your plan?”

“You’ll see.” Jean replied, the usual sadistic joy in her eyes. 



Chapter 6: Showers

Chapter Text

 

After breakfast was finished, the guards instructed them all to get their shower supplies. Kate felt like it made more sense to shower after work, which was next, but she guessed it was nice to get a warm shower to wake up to. They all went back to their respective cells, got their supplies, and lined up to enter the showers. 

Titania, who had been escorted to her cell earlier and hadn’t eaten breakfast because she had smeared hers against the hospital wall, had grumpily complied too, looking forward to getting clean at least.

 

The inmates stepped into the shower room. The showers didn’t quite give off the impression of cleanliness and it had a sense of being worn down and in need of fixing, despite being practically brand new. Most of the now-adjusted prisoners didn’t seem to mind and were just quite relieved as they only got to use this place twice a week (hot water was allegedly costly for the prison budget). All around the assorted super soldiers, witches, aliens, mutants, and spies began instinctively to quickly undress from their dirty jumpsuits and then pick out exactly where they would shower.  In just the span of about two minutes everything quickly became quite crowded, and one couldn’t avoid having their skin meet someone else’s in collision at least a dozen times. 

Kate shuffled forwards through the showers, trying to find a free spot. She wasn’t sure where to direct her eyes without invading someone’s privacy.. She suddenly felt a tug at her wrist as Yelena pulled her towards her. 

“Are you lost, Kate Bishop?” Yelena asked with a crispy laugh. She stood there, completely comfortable being naked in front of everyone. 

Kate blushed and looked at the ceiling, feeling shy looking at the other naked women. She gasped softly when Yelena took her by the hand and began to drag her along towards some free showers. 

Kate’s breath hitched as she realised Natasha Romanoff was standing next to them, also showering and very very naked. She hurriedly averted her eyes.

“Hey.” Natasha said casually, washing her shoulders with soap. “Good morning.”

Yelena smiled at her sister. She eyed Kate, who was still looking away respectfully and chuckled.

“This is Kate Bishop.” She nodded her head towards Kate.

“Nice to meet you, Kate Bishop.” Natasha smiled genuinely. She had no idea who this was, she seemed new, before she remembered that she had seen Kate on the tour yesterday. She was new.

Kate and Yelena had started showering too. Kate had her eyes on the wall respectfully at first, but couldn’t contain herself and peeked at Natasha. Her body was beautiful and Kate could not help but be just a little aroused by her curves. 

“How did you meet my sister?” Natasha asked in a friendly tone. Kate caught herself staring, looked up, and connected eyes with Natasha’s. She realised the redhead had seen her looking at her body. 

“Uhm-” Kate said nervously, gulping. “Funny story actually…” Her mind was blank and she panicked.

Natasha looked at Kate expectantly, smirking softly. It stayed quiet for a while.

“Kate was the archer that stole that suit from Barton in New York . Idiot.” Yelena said quickly, laughing. 

Someone had approached behind Natasha, and Kate stared in awe as a woman started washing Natasha from behind, touching her shoulders and breasts. Natasha leaned into the touch, letting out a satisfied sigh. “That’s perfect, Potts.”

Pepper internally grumbled, feeling humiliated basically working as Natasha’s slave. She was one of the lowest members of the Widow gang, bottom bitch in fact, and Nat made sure she was given the worst tasks. She hated having to work for the woman that once worked for her and even worse was the forced lesbianism, but that was the price she was forced to pay if she didn’t want to have her face buried between the thighs of Hydra or any of the other far scarier groups the prison contained. 

“I see. How is Clint?” Natasha asked eagerly. She missed her most trusted companion dearly. 

“He’s good. Kids are fine. I celebrated Christmas with them.” Kate stuttered. She did not dare mention that Clint had kind of betrayed her in the end, she definitely did not want to upset The Black Widow. 

Natasha smiled at that news. She wished she could see him again, even if it was once. 

“So how did you end up in here then?” Natasha asked. She could feel that Yelena liked Kate, so she tried to show support by acting interested in Kate’s story. 

“Just broke the law, I guess.” Kate replied vaguely. She had a hard time not looking at Natasha, so she moved her eyes over to Yelena instead. She was not prepared for Yelena to be challenging her with her heavily eyelined, hooded eyes. She let her eyes glide over Kate’s body almost shamelessly. Kate hurriedly did the same, feeling the shyness disappear. She felt her cheeks flush at this tense moment and something in her lower abdomen tingled. 

Kate grabbed a shampoo bottle and squirted some shampoo into her hand. A lot came out because she had squeezed the bottle so hard and splattered on the floor. 

Yelena let out a hearty laugh and winked at Kate. 

Kate wanted to ask Natasha so many questions. She had adored her since she was a kid, and how she was standing in front of her, naked, in a prison. She felt suddenly brave. “Can I ask you a question?” she said softly. Natasha smiled kindly and nodded. 

“What was it like to be part of the Avengers?” She blurted out, hurriedly washing her hair with the tons of shampoo in her hand.

Natasha chuckled attractively. “Well it was awesome.” She thought back with a fond smile. “We really were at the top of the world in the beginning.” 

Yelena rolled her eyes. “Poser.”

“How was it to be on a team with only men?” Kate continued, hungry for more information.

“Well, you know, it was difficult at times.” Natasha admitted. “But it was me who held the team together. Not anyone else.” 

“You must miss them.” Kate said sadly. 

“I’m okay.” Nat shrugged. “I’ve got a good thing going here.” 

Kate couldn’t imagine how prison could possibly be classified as ‘a good thing’ in any world, as she was unaware of the gang Natasha was the leader of.

“I see….that’s good.” She replied awkwardly. She stared at the woman who was now massaging Natasha’s hair with shampoo carefully, squinting her eyes. She looked familiar. 

“Hey, you’re Pepper Potts!” She exclaimed, pointing her finger at the woman.

Pepper’s eyes widened and she opened her mouth awkwardly. “Yes, I am.” She said eventually.

“I didn’t know you were in prison! I just thought Tony Stark dumped you!”  Kate admitted, her eyes filled with wonder. 

“Uhm, no.” Pepper said in a depressed voice. 

Kate looked at Pepper and then at Natasha, confused why Pepper would be washing the other’s back.

“Wait, are you two a couple?” She asked Natasha, noisily. 

Natasha let out a laugh, making Pepper flinch. “Your new friend is very funny, Yelena.”

Yelena grinned wickedly. “I know.” She was finished washing herself and her hair and stood there, catching the water in her hands and letting them fill up, only to throw it at Kate playfully. 

Kate didn’t understand what was so funny but smiled awkwardly. “Yeah…” She continued washing her hair until someone bumped into her. 

Monica apologized hurriedly. She was holding her own shower supplies under her arm tightly and was quickly trying to make her way over to the walled off, more private showers at the end of the room. She did not understand why any of the other ladies weren’t using these showers. Why shower in the open when you could have privacy?

She saw a few of the stalls were closed and occupied, but there was one free. It had a small door covering about half her body, and no lock. Still, better than showering in the open. She turned on the shower and felt the warm water run over her skin, relaxing her. This was the first moment since coming here that she felt like herself. As she washed her body with the soap, she closed her eyes happily. 

Her moment of bliss was quickly interrupted as the door to her stall whipped over, clanging agains the wall. Jean and Wanda stumbled in, heavily making out. They seemed not to have noticed Monica. They slammed into the wall, and carried on making out.

Jean squeezed Wanda’s breasts tightly, making the witch moan in pleasure as they kissed passionately.

A blush crept up Monica’s face and she stuttered. “Uhm, this stall is occupied.” 

Jean briefly looked at her, a smirk on her face and Monica watched as her hand slid down Wanda’s abdomen. She gasped as she saw Jean starting to finger Wanda roughly, right in front of her.

Monica realised that nor Jean nor Wanda cared that she was here. She stood frozen until she heard Wanda moan loudly and her fight or flight kicked in. She pushed past the two women, looking to find another stall, until she realised with horror that every single one of them was occupied with women having sex with each other. So this is why people didn’t use the walled showers…

Nebula smirked at her from the closest stall, her fingers deep inside Bereet, who yelled out with pleasure. “Wanna join?” She said in her husky, low voice.

Monica shook her head wildly and blindly made her way through the crowd of naked, showering women. She found a free shower, suddenly not so shy anymore to share the public showers with others. At least they weren’t having sex.

Her heart was still pounding in her chest, feeling uncomfortable and nervous. How was she ever supposed to feel safe in this prison?

 

Titania walked through the busy showers in a sort of over-stimulated haze. It had taken the threats of a guard to even get her to step into this tiled hell and then be expected to undress before the entire population of the prison. As soon as her jumpsuit had fallen to the ground there had been stares. As she tried to find an empty spot she couldn’t help but think there must have been some mistake. Surely there was a private room she could peacefully wash herself without the ever leering eyes of criminals desperately wanting a piece of her. Unfortunately for the former influencer there was no such place in The Raft and the stares at her flawless body were just something she’d have to get used to, or complain about non-stop (the latter being far more likely with her). 

The aroma coming from her fellow inmates wasn’t a pleasant one (which made sense since they only showered twice a week), and the showers were almost overwhelmed with the conflicting scents of sweat and the soap. It was nearly gag-inducing for Titania, but most things about her situation were for her. 

It took awhile to find a suitable spot in the forest of bare skin, but eventually she found an empty space near the back corner of the room where hopefully no one would really notice her (never in her life had she thought she’d want to go unnoticed but here she was). 

Titania put her hand under the stream of water first and was surprised it was actually rather warm. She stepped under the she noticed that the woman to her right, Monica, had in fact noticed her, but only because it was a somewhat familiar face in the sea of strangers. As Titania showered next to her, Monica smiled at her nervously. “Isn’t this crazy?” She tried to make casual conversation because she didn’t know where to start.

“What? That I’m in prison or that I’m forced to shower alongside violent delinquents?” Titania asked as she turned to Monica. Deep down she was also a little relieved to find someone she could at least vaguely recognise from her intake yesterday that wasn’t a mad blue alien or tough PI.

Monica let out a polite laugh. “Both, I suppose.” She looked at Titania, who looked as uncomfortable as her to be here. “This must be against some law.”

“For real!” Titania exclaimed. “I certainly don’t belong in a place like this, and maybe you don’t either. I’m not entirely sure what you’re in for to be honest.” It was at that moment that she remembered she was entirely naked and so she awkwardly tried to cover herself. 

“Well, I worked for the gov-” Monica started, but then remembered what Yelena said yesterday on the tour. Don’t let them know your story.  “Just used my powers against some bad people and they didn’t appreciate, I guess.” She said vaguely. She remembered that Titania hadn’t been there when Wanda had attacked them yesterday, so she had no idea there was a history there. “What about you?”

“I defended myself from a group of haters. It isn’t my fault they nearly were killed by a bench” Titania said as she reached for the bar of soap under the showerhead. She pondered how sanitary it really was if it was just sitting there having been used by who knows how many other people, their hair still on it. 

Monica politely looked the other way as Titania revealed her body more. “Us supers don’t have it easy, do we?” She said with a grin, not realising many others were looking at her with disgust as she said it. 

“Not at all! It’s so unfair!” Titania appreciated that at least Monica looked away. She seemed like maybe she could be a useful ally here. “How long you in for?”

 

“I’m actually unsure. I think they said indefinite which is like pretty useless…” Monica said, rolling her eyes. 

“Oh yeah, well that sucks” Titania said, ever so compassionate of others. “I got 20 years, which like is a long time.” 

Monica swallowed heavily. That seemed unimaginable to her. “Jesus…I’m sorry.” She felt bad for the other girl even though her own sentence was probably worse than that. “I think the worst part for me is that I went to them for help…and instead they just put me here.”

Titania stopped washing her hair for a second and stared at Monica in a state of perplexion. “Why would you turn yourself in?” she asked as if that was simply unimaginable to her. 

“Well, I didn’t! My powers were getting out of control and I just didn’t know what to do.” She couldn’t really add that she basically grew up with S.W.O.R.D, because that would compromise her. “I guess you just can’t trust anyone.” She said bitterly. 

“Oh and speaking of powers! These collars are actually ridiculous” Titania complained and then an idea came to her. “What powers do you have? Maybe we could like figure out how to shut our collars off and bust out of here.” she shared the same thought that almost every inmate in The Raft had had at least once in their incarceration. 

“Uhm…” Monica bit her lip, not sure if she should share, also not sure how to describe her powers. “I can do things with energy…kind of. I’m really new to all this.” She could hardly mention that Wanda practically gave her her powers, because that would probably make her new friend afraid of her. “But anyway, I can tell you that no one has ever escaped this place successfully.”

“What do you mean no one has escaped?” Titania asked angrily. “Look I don’t want to spend the next 20 years in this hellhole, it would totally be like worth a shot to try. Unless you like wearing unfashionable orange jumpsuits and showers like these for what…your indefinite stay right?”

“You don’t need to get mad at me, I’m just stating the facts. Of course we can try to escape, but the chance it will work is very slim…” Monica said calmly, not letting herself be thrown off guard by Titania’s outburst. 

“Good” Titania replied in a much calmer tone, now satisfied she’d pressured someone into joining her in her dream of escaping. 

“What powers have you got?” Monica said, while washing her body with the soap she had gotten at the end of the tour yesterday. 

“Well basically the same as She-Hulk’s except totally I came first and am like better in every possible way” Titania smiled. 

“She-Hulk, she’s the one who attacked you yesterday right?” Monica asked, interested to know what had happened. 

“Yeah her!” Titania replied. Out of curiosity she briefly looked over her shoulder at the crowd of other women showering. It didn’t take her long to spot the big tall green woman a little away. Jen’s harem gently washing their buff emerald prison mommy, soap bubbles running down her muscles as her bitches cleaned her with dedication. 

“I see. So you guys have history?” Monica asked carefully. She didn’t want to upset her fun but self-centered acquaintance 

“Yeah. She took the name of my line of beauty products and tried to say I was the one who stole it.” Titania watched the scene unfolding with She-Hulk a little too long before turning back to Monica. “She’s always trying to upstage me and prove that she’s better. It’s like she’s got this weird obsession with me.” Titania projected.

Monica couldn’t hide her frown. “Beauty products?” She couldn’t believe this was something of an issue, being so removed from that world herself. 

“Yes” Titania nodded. “I’d generously give you a free sample of some of the line if I could. But I can’t since clearly this prison doesn't have an understanding of essentials!”

“I’m good, thanks. Well, I’m sorry she makes you feel like that.” Monica felt a bit lost for words. She was used to fighting over food or places to live among aliens and was a bit taken aback by something as simple as beauty products. “Okay, so, we can try to get the collars off with your strength, maybe?” 

“Wow I totally didn’t think to try that already! Great idea” Titania said sarcastically.

Monica sighed. “Well, what’s your idea then, genius? My powers probably would do more harm than good.”

Titania shrugged “I don’t know. I’m not like super sure how these collars work yet.” 

“We’ll think on it. It’s only our first day here anyway…” Monica thought about leaving the showers again and being locked up with Nebula and Bereet later. The thought frightened her, but at least for now they would be working in the mines first. Maybe she could ask Carol for some advice on how to deal with Nebula. “How are your cellmates?” She asked curiously. 

“I haven’t gotten a chance to meet them yet since I was in the infirmary all night. What about yours?” Titania began scrubbing away at her arm with the bar of soap. 

“They’re not great.” Monica admitted. “And that’s putting it mildly. But…I’m going to ask my friend for help.” 

“Not great? Like how not great?” Titania asked less because she cared about Monica being treated poorly, and more because she wanted to know what to expect from her own cellmates. 

“Well…” Monica looked around awkwardly, not sure how to put this, and briefly made eye contact with another inmate with horns who immediately challenged her with her eyes. “My roommate pressured me into having sex with her.” She blurted out, rather loudly, so that several people looked up.

Titania froze and pointed as Proxima Midnight, another child of Thanos, the woman Monica locked eyes with suddenly stepped closer. She seemed to tower over her, her bare built alien body pressed against her arm. “Oh you’re a cute one. I think you have a lot more to worry about right now than your cellmate pressuring you.” She said as flicked the bar of soap that was in Monica’s hands to the ground. 

Monica obviously knew about the saying to never drop the soap in prison, so she stayed stiffly upright. She didn’t need the soap that badly. “I suggest you take some distance.” She said toughly to the alien-woman. 

“Yeah? What exactly are you going to do against me Terran?” Proxima jeered. She brought her right hand hard upon Monica’s lower back and began to slide it down her soapy body towards the woman’s bottom. 

Monica felt herself panicking. It was happening again. She desperately looked around for Carol so maybe she could come and save her, but the blonde was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly she found the strength, her hand grabbed the woman’s wrist, stopping the movement. “Stop.” She said dangerously. 

Proxima grimaced and took a step closer again, reaching with her free hand for Monica’s face, when someone else came toppling against the wall right behind her with a loud thud. Proxima spun around to see what had happened and it looked like someone had started a fight of their own. 

 

Just a few minutes prior Jessica Jones had been standing under the stream of hot water hastily rubbing the bar of soap up and down in cylindrical circles against her pale skin. She’d wanted to get out of the showers as fast as possible. It felt like anything could happen at any moment…and clearly she was right as she felt someone lay their hands on her back and begin to try and caress her. “Hi new girl.” the stranger cooed as she tried to bring her hand down to Jessica’s arse. 

That was her mistake as at that moment Jessica instinctively threw a punch that hit them square in the face. There was pop and a cry of pain. Her attempted assaulter stumbled back with an agonised whimper as she gripped her now bleeding nose. 

It was at this moment that Jessica was able to catch her appearance. She was a rather short scrawny looking young woman with curly red hair. It was Karli Morganthau, the super-soldier terrorist who couldn’t manage to actually come up with a legit cause from about a year ago. Jessica vaguely remembered hearing about her in the news. Clearly she’d gained some…interesting new political ideologies behind bars as displayed by the extent of Hydra themed prison tattoos that stretched down her freckled body. The two most predominant ones being the massive Hydra skull with its tentacles wrapped around her tits and the swastika on her abdomen. 

“What the fuck?!” Karli shrieked just before Jessica grabbed her by the throat and pressed her against the wall hard. Jessica’s nails dug into Karli’s flesh just slightly and she looked at her with a burning fury, but it wasn’t just rage at her assaulter. No, it was a terrible mix of that with her utter rage at being in this place at all. “What the actual hell?!” 

“Bitch!” Karli hissed

“Call me a bitch again. Compare me to a dog. An animal that you can kick and collar. Say it .” Jessicca challenged Karli. Practically daring her to repeat herself just to give her some excuse to take her aggression out on the creep before her. Her grip grew tighter and it suddenly became hard for Karli to breath. Her breaths became quick and shallow. She tried to kick but her attempts to escape her grasp were unsuccessful. Her throat ached as air struggled to pass through and she suddenly began to visibly panic. She already knew that her gang wouldn’t come to protect her at this moment because she’d made a fool of herself. Hydra was harsh in even how they treated their own, especially members that hadn’t been loyal for very long. 

Karlie choked out a meagre “I-I’m sorry” It was her first attempt at taking a new arrival and this had gone horrifically wrong. 

“Touch me again I’ll put your head through a wall. Got it?!” Jessica growled

The Nazi girl fearfully nodded. 

“I asked you a question” Jessica applied more pressure to her neck

“Y-yes I got it!” Karli managed to gasp

“Good” Jessica instantly let her go, allowing her to drop to the ground. Karli slipped and nearly tumbled into Jessica as her feet touched the wet floor. She hurriedly made her way out of the showers.

When Jessica looked up, she saw Trish staring at her from across the room, a smirk on her face. Jessica briefly returned the glance before storming away in a huff. She’d had enough of the showers for one day.

Chapter 7: Rendezvous in the mines

Summary:

rocks lol

Chapter Text

The prisoners were led in shackles deep down into the dark humid caverns that rested beneath the facility. The journey down was a torturous one in itself as the temperatures slowly rose the farther down they went until now where it practically felt they were surrounded by the fires of Hell. Along the walls of the endless networks of carven tunnels, each made by the very prisoners brought down, were strings of fluorescent lights that staved off the pitch black darkness of the depths. The jagged rock surface was only occasionally broken up by hints of metal that pulsated with a subtle blue glow, vibranium. It was what powered the prison and most of the restraints and bars were made of the substance. There was a cruel irony in how the inmates endlessly toiled to mine that which kept them imprisoned. This was especially ironic for the Wakandan prisoners who had once relied on vibranium for their society, only to have that society destroyed and now tasked with gathering the metal for the people that conquered them. 

The mines were absolutely the most miserable of all The Raft’s many miseries, where down here the prisoners would work for hours upon hours doing backbreaking work with few breaks in tunnels that reeked of body odour. The guards assigned to watch over the work seemingly hated being there just as much as the ones they guarded, often it being assigned as punishment for various things, and they took their displeasure out on the convicts with particular sadistic glee. The prisoners who showed weakness were dealt with and forced to learn that there was no mercy here. Any unauthorised pause only earned that inmate more time working until they either passed out or somehow managed to make it through. A few lucky ones were extended the offer to sleep with a head guard and they’d be given a short leave of anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours of entertaining the guard before being brought back to resume their shift. 

 

Somewhere among the hardworking prisoners, Yelena and Natasha were shackled together. Both of them struck down on the hard rock with their pickaxes, the sharp dinging sound echoing on the walls around them and making their ears hurt. Natasha wiped her forehead with a dirty, muddy hand and huffed out air. 

“So, Kate huh?” She said, smirking at her sister as she continued digging. 

Yelena grumbled, distracted. “What?”

“You seem to like her a lot.” Natasha said, non-accusatory. She knew making friends as an adult was something that had been really hard for Yelena, given that she trusted no one. It was surprising to see her interacting with a stranger. 

“Yeah, she’s funny.” Yelena snorted, thinking of all the stupid shit Kate had done after they met in New York. 

“Okay so is she like a friend-friend or…you know…” Natasha tried carefully, knowing that Yelena never had crushes on anyone and was pretty guarded when it came to love. As far as she knew, Yelena had only loved one person and it had ended really badly for her. 

“What do you mean?” Yelena stopped hacking at the tough stone and looked at her sister. 

Natasha chuckled. “Just saying…I’ve never seen you like this. About anyone.” 

Realisation dawned on Yelena and she flushed red. She scoffed and continued digging, albeit using slightly more force. 

Natasha was afraid she had upset her sister, so she stayed quiet. Sometimes, it was hard for her to know how to interact with Yelena, because they hadn’t really grown up together. Both had been through so much individually, it was difficult to know what would trigger the other. 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” Natasha eventually whispered apologetically. 

Yelena sniffed. “I’m not uncomfortable.” 

“Okay.” Natasha replied, rolling her eyes. They continued working in silence for a while.

“So what if I like her?” Yelena broke the silence suddenly. “Is that bad?”

Natasha let out a dry chuckle. “Well, not necessarily. But…you know what happened last time. It’s better not to get involved with anyone.” She didn’t want to squash her sister’s hope, but wanted to be realistic as well. “We’re in a dangerous place, where love gets your hurt, one way or another.”

Frustrated, Yelena crashed her pickaxe down onto the sandy floor of the cavern. “It’s not the same. I don’t love her. Love is for children, as you always say.” 

“Okay, so what is it then?” Natasha challenged her.

“I don’t know! All I know is that she has a fucked up roommate that’s probably gonna kill her in her sleep tonight so maybe we won’t have to worry about this anymore tomorrow!” Yelena yelled, her voice echoing through the cave. “Who cares, right?”

Natasha groaned internally. Fuck. She tried to collect her bearings. “You care.” She said eventually.

“Yes, I do.  Because she’s a fucking dumbass who can’t protect herself and thinks the world is all bright and beautiful and has no idea that this place is gonna kill her. And there’s nothing I can do about it.” Yelena wiped her eyes angrily. 

“I’m sorry, sestra .” Natasha said lamely. She remembered how hopeless she felt when Yelena came to this place and all she wanted was to use her influence over the other inmates to make sure no one would hurt her sister. It was a dangerous game, because playing favorites could get them really, really hurt. 

Yelena continued digging madly at the stones before suddenly stopping. “I have a plan.”

“Oh, man.” Natasha sighed, already preparing for the worst.

“You’re gonna make it so that she’s bunked with me.” Yelena connected her eyes with Natasha’s. “I want you to try.”

Natasha bit her lip, going over the ways this could go wrong in her head. “You have a one person room.” She offered.

“No, I have a bunk bed. I have space.” Yelena countered stubbornly. “They don’t even have to change beds around.”

“It would draw a lot of attention to Kate.” Natasha tried desperately. “And on you. And on me, in relation. We could get hurt.” 

“You practically own this prison, Natasha!” Yelena said angrily. “You don’t take shit from anyone.”

“And how do you think I got to that position?” Natasha replied, equally as angry. “Why are you willing to risk everything we built, everything I’ve done to protect you, for this random girl you only met a few times?!”

“Because she’s good! She’s the kind of person who doesn't deserve to get hurt by this system. She…she deserves to be saved.” Yelena said, frustration and emotion coating her voice. “She doesn’t deserve any of this shit.”

Nat stepped back. “And what if she dies because you try to help her? What good will that do?”

“She won’t. I will make sure of it.” Yelena’s jaw was set. 

“Fine. I’ll get a guard to change the arrangements. But don’t come crying to me if she’s dead tomorrow. And if this hurts me or my girls somehow, I will hurt you.” Natasha’s eyes flashed dangerously and they stood across from each other for a moment, both breathing heavily. Yelena took her hand and shoved Natasha slightly, playfully.

“I’d like to see you try.”

Natasha’s anger subsided now that she had caved to her sister's wishes, and she continued digging, instead racking her brain on how the hell she was gonna pull this one off. 

 

On the other side of the tunnel, more prisoners were digging for vibranium. A random assortment of women all joined together by links of chains that clanged and clattered with their every movement. The heavy shackles chafed their already sore bare ankles but for most this was a discomfort they’d long gotten used to. First in the row was Darcy Lewis, using the pickaxe to aggressively have a go at the wall. She’d done something to earn herself work down in the mines and was very angry about it. Not only was Darcy one of the most desired inmates and therefore had a lot of the guard’s attention on her, her ever sardonic wit had a knack for getting her in trouble and this definitely wasn’t her first time here. 

Sylvie Laufeydottir, the time travelling goddess of mischief, panted as she swung her pickaxe into the wall over and over again. She endured the gruelling work the best she could but the futility of it all really annoyed her. Her body was enveloped in a light but visible cloud of cool mist, the Frost Giant equivalent of sweating. Sylvie found herself stranded in this universe a few years ago and it seemed she’d be spending the next few centuries in prison paying for the crimes of her variant. Apparently indefinite mine duty was a part of that sentence. Besides her was Jane Foster, a midgardian bitch she’d claimed and now forced to toil alongside her because why should she suffer alone? Jane fared much worse than Sylvie and looked just about ready to collapse with each swing. She had never been particularly strong, and working in the mines was really tough. To the sides, a huge green shape was moving rocks around and punching the wall. She-Hulk had gotten mine duty as well for beating up Titania on the tour yesterday. Jane envied her strength, as her own arms shook with effort holding the pickaxe. It seemed like She-Hulk was the only prisoner who enjoyed her time here.

Last along the line was Kate who hardly fared as well as the women besides her. Covered in dirt and sweat she panted with each heavy swing against the dense cavern rocks, wincing as the sharp jagged stone ground cut against her feet which was made only worse by the small pebbles that broke from the walls (a pain most experienced inmates grew used to, but proved a memorable agony) Because she hadn’t slept at all, she was quickly exhausted. The work they were being forced to do didn’t really seem legal to her, but she definitely wasn’t about to go and try complaining to one of the guards that lurked behind them revelling in their suffering. 

She was an observant person, her years of archery training having developed her senses to the point that it was hard for her not to always be aware of her surroundings and the people in it. She had noticed how the blonde Asgardian was strong and capable, while her friend was barely getting any work done. She made a mental note to not cross the former. She was terrified of She-Hulk, scared that she might accidentally drop a rock on her. 

Awkwardly, she shuffled towards Jane, being an extroverted person and unable to deal with awkward, prolonged silence. 

“Hey.” She said casually. 

Jane looked over, surprised that someone was talking to her and not Sylvie. “Hi…” She said through heavy breaths while attempting to lodge her pickaxe into the wall. Tiny bits of rubble fell to the ground but nothing significant.  

“What’s your name?” Kate tried nicely. She was definitely not aware that Jane was not in the mood to talk. 

“Jane Foster” She replied in a huff.

“Oh! I heard about you! Aren’t you Thor’s girlfriend?” Kate went off.

“Ex-girlfriend. I’m also the Mighty Thor and a renowned astrophysicist but it’s great to know I’m remembered as his girlfriend…” Jane said bitterly, rolling her eyes.

Kate’s face blanked. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. What’s the Mighty Thor? Is that another name for Thor?” 

“Well yeah kinda. It was the title bestowed upon me when I wielded Mjölnir” 

“Mj-what?” Kate stuttered, confused.

“Thor’s hammer,” Jane was getting really annoyed with the conversation now.

“Oh. I thought only he could lift it or something. Clint told me.” Kate was oblivious to the other’s frustration.

Jane groaned from all the questions, but it probably only came off as being tired of mining. “Anyone who is worthy may lift it!”

“I would love to try it.” Kate said dreamily. “I bet it could break these stones in record time.”

Their fun little conversation was cut short as the guard overseeing them barked “Faster ladies! Come on! My grandmother has more life in her, god rest her soul. MOVE IT!” It was difficult to tell who exactly she was yelling at, but it made everyone just a little more tense. 

“Jesus.” Darcy mumbled under her breath. She was easy to scare.

Sylvie briefly turned to face Kate, clearly displeased with her. “Did I give you permission to speak with my pet?” She quietly asked. Despite being used to near constant degradation by her cruel queen, Jane still blushed. 

Kate flushed. “Pet? Huh?” She looked around for a dog or cat or some other animal. “Where?”

“Do you think you are humorous?” Sylvie asked, burying her tool deep into the stone with aggressive force. 

“I’m confused.” Kate admitted. “I was just talking to Jane…Oh.” Realisation dawned on her face and she looked at Sylvie offendedly. “But she’s a person! Not a pet!” 

“You’re evidently new. In prison the strong own the weak.” Sylvie smirked. “Your failure to comprehend that doesn’t bode well for you.”

Kate gulped. “Well, maybe somebody already owns me.” She bluffed. 

Sylvie raised a hand in sarcastic defeat, showing she meant no harm. “I don’t really care. I have no interest in having you as mine. I merely was informing you of something any new girl must know. Especially one of such beauty, midgardian”

“Uh…thanks.” Kate smiled thankfully, though still on guard. 

 

Officer Renee Winters watched the inmates toil with a sadistic glee. She had been assigned guard duty down in the depths by the warden as a punishment for accepting a few bribes, a formality really. Everyone knew the prison did little against corruption usually but sometimes there were the unlucky few who were dealt with just to give the place the facade of being secure. Still, her “punishment” quickly turned into a blessing as she got to watch criminals be broken down into exhausted desperate messes and she essentially had free reign to make sure every moment was as miserable as possible. For Renee no feeling compared to that of controlling some of the most powerful women on the planet. 

 

As Kate continued working she noticed one of the guards step behind the brunette with glasses. “You look tired.” Renee playfully taunted.

Darcy sighed and dropped the pickaxe to the ground. “Well, yeah, I am!” She hated the way guards would antagonize them and make the task at hand even worse. 

“Tough break…if only there were something more useful you could be doing…” The guard smirked. Most of the prisoners ignored the entire exchange, but Kate was watching in curious horror. 

Darcy immediately stiffened. She knew where this was going. She could refuse, but the guard would make sure she’d be here again tomorrow. They feigned the prisoners having a choice, but in reality going along with it was the best option. She looked at the huge rock in front of her, which would take at least 2 hours to finish working on, and shrugged. 

“Yeah, okay.”

The guard gleefully nodded and then unshackled her. She then cuffed Darcy’s wrists behind her back and escorted her up the mine shaft. 

Kate heard Sylvie say something that sounded like “Lucky bitch” before violently piercing the cave and having to use force to dislodge the pickaxe. 

 

The guard brought Darcy through a few winding passageways until they reached a part of the mine that was unoccupied. She removed Darcy’s handcuffs now that they had arrived. “Alright, you know what to do. Start stripping for me.” 

Darcy rolled her eyes and started by taking off her glasses. Immediately when she moved to remove them, the guard stopped her. 

“No. Leave those on.” The guard smiled down at her smugly.

“Okay, creep.” Darcy said, having to chuckle. She kept her glasses on and her long slender fingers moved to the zipper of her prison uniform. She knew how to put on a show and removed the garment slowly, sensually. 

Soon enough, her large breasts were free from the fabric. 

“Never gets old.” The guard said admiringly. It was known that Darcy had one of the best pairs of tits in the whole prison. 

“Trust me, it does.” Darcy rolled her eyes. “Wanna touch?” She challenged the guard. 

“No, I’m good. Now then, if you’re wanting a break from mining you’re gonna have to work for it. On your knees.” Renee ordered as she leaned back against the damp wall and pulled down her trousers. 

Darcy slowly got on her knees, her legs pressed against the jagged stone floor, and timidly approached her face to the guard’s cunt. Annoyed with the nervous approach, Renee put both hands behind Darcy’s head and pushed her nose-deep into her bush. “I expect full effort from you.” She admonished. She adored ordering the inmates around, especially when it came to sexual actions. 

Darcy showed inexperience as she sloppily lapped away, eating out another woman had been a rather recent thing she’d learned. Prior to prison Darcy had thought herself 100% undeniably straight, but since her arrival that was something that didn’t matter too much. Limited in options and easy prey for a majority of the far stronger prisoners, learning how to pleasure them had proven to be a valuable thing to know. Renee was blatantly aware of Darcy’s inexperience, but the thrill of the situation mixed with the touch of her tits against her leg more than made up for it. “You can be more rough.” She instructed. She never understood why the inmates were always so gentle. It didn’t feel like much at all like that. 

Darcy hummed and increased the strength of her tongue and her pace. Her hands gripped Renee’s thighs tightly to get more pressure, her fingers digging into the skin. “That’s a good girl.” Renee whispered, finally feeling something.

Darcy was glad to hear the praise, particularly because it meant an orgasm was closer and she would be released. She let the tip of her tongue run across Renee’s entrance, teasing her before entering, making sure to also keep pressure on her clit. It was still sloppy and too soft, but better. Renee’s moans filled the chamber, echoing off the walls. She didn’t care about being discovered, there were only prisoners down here and they were chained down. The few other guards strayed far away from her, knowing her habits. She basically had free reign. 

Renee grew closer and closer, tongue working hard between her thighs. With a triumphant exclamation of pure ecstasy she came hard on Darcy and slumped against the wall. Both were breathing heavy and Renee smirked. “Good job, now you get to go back to your cell!” She slapped Darcy on the ass dismissively and continued to bathe in her bliss, leaving most of the prisoners unguarded for the time being. 

 

Carol and Monica were working hard, chained together in the very depths of the caves. To the right of them was a large mound, signalling the end of the dug tunnel so far. They were so deep in the caves, their ears popped repeatedly and kind of hurt. As Monica let the pickaxe slump down again and again, she huffed. “I thought Vibranium was only in Wakanda. Funny.” Carol didn’t respond, and Monica felt awkwardness creep up in her chest. “All Wanda had to do is break into this prison to get herself a new husband it seems.” She joked, hoping to get a laugh out of her friend. 

Carol’s eyes shifted over before she let out a careful chuckle. “You should watch your words, Lieutenant Trouble. If her or rather Jean’s goons hear you, you’re toast.” 

Monica smirked. “Ain’t nobody down here but us.” She dropped the pickaxe down lazily and stretched. “In fact, I think I’m gonna take a break. It’s not like anyone will notice.” 

Carol shook her head. “They’ve got security cameras, you know.” She whipped her head around to spot the one trained on them, but her brow furrowed as she saw none. “I guess we’re too deep.” 

“Exactly. So are you gonna keep digging, or join me in this break?” Monica challenged her childhood friend.

Carol shrugged. She knew it was probably a bad idea to stop working, but it didn’t seem like anyone would find out. “Kay.”

They both sat down, stretching their sore muscles in the sand of the cave. 

A comfortable silence was between them, until Carol spoke up. She had wrapped her arms around her knees, hugging them to her chest. “I never meant for you to end up here, you know?” 

Monica looked at Carol, who looked sadly back at her. “That’s why I left. I didn’t wanna bring you and your mom into any more danger.” 

“Well, she’s dead and I’m in prison, so you did a great job at that.” Monica’s words left her mouth before she could stop herself. She saw the impact immediately on Carol’s face. 

“Yep. Guess I’m a disappointment huh?” Carol said bitterly, wiping her eyes. 

Monica regretted her tone. “You’re not. I know you helped many people. Skrulls.” She realised that Carol had only done what she thought was right. It was unfair to blame her for her mother’s death. Or leaving. “My mom missed you every day, you know?” Monica whispered sadly.

“I missed her more. I’m so…so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye. I’ll regret that for the rest of my life.” Carol sniffled. “I loved her a lot.” 

Monica swallowed heavily. “Me too.” She whispered. She felt a little lighter. “I’m sorry for being mad.” 

“I get it. I was kind of the dad that went to get milk and never came back. Shitty move on my part.” Carol joked.

“Did you find the milk?” Monica replied, chuckling softly.

Carol snorted. “No, in fact, I’m lactose intolerant.” 

Both women smiled at each other and the air was definitely lighter than before. 

After a while, they started working again, because they could hardly turn up with zero vibranium parts mined.  

They talked about Monica’s childhood and what Carol had been up to after leaving. Neither talked about Maria’s death. After about 30 minutes, they took another break, lounging as comfortably as possible on the floor. 

“I’m glad I’m not alone. I don’t think I would have survived without you here.” Monica said softly. She realised Wanda probably would have killed her yesterday if it wasn’t for Carol. “That punch on Wanda was epic.” 

Carol shrugged. “It’s kinda my thing.”

“Having a tea party?” Their conversation was interrupted when three shadows turned up around the corner and a voice cut through the air. “Oh, no, don’t get up. You’ll be down soon enough. And your chains will keep you neatly in place.” 

Both women looked up in surprise to see who was speaking.

 

Jean, Mystique and Rogue were looming over them, pickaxes in hand. No chains were to be seen on them.

Chapter 8: Halloween interlude

Notes:

hello! we wrote this halloween chapter but i forgot to upload it. i hope yall are still in a spooky mood regardless. this introduces some new characters to the story!

Chapter Text

————————————————————————————————————————————————
The known universe, with its heroes and marvels, but what of the darkness? In our modern world, this is where monsters dwell, alongside those who hunt and slaughter them with pride. None more prolific than Elsa Bloodstone, who previously fought her way into controlling the powerful supernatural relic, the Bloodstone, a weapon unlike any other. But now, this weapon is lost to the hands of a new wielder, for Elsa Bloodstone has been arrested. Tonight marks her arrival behind the bars of The Raft. Supernatural killers have gathered with their sharpened shivs, enemies until this night, to avenge their vile kin massacred by Elsa. Woe to the woman who finds herself in their grasp
————————————————————————————————————————————————

The barred gate that led deep into the heart of The Raft slowly drew open with a painfully loud clang clang clang, the sound was as if it would break off its hinges any moment now. Elsa Bloodstone’s heartbeats drummed in her chest, as a child she was told she’d be sealed in a tomb if she misbehaved and in a way that’s exactly what was happening. Already today she’d been stripped naked and poked, prodded, and asked to perform practically every indignity possible all for the intake guard’s amusement, so it seemed to her in this tomb things would only get worse. The cells stood daunting all around, eyes fixated on the English monster hunter, as she was led in. The women within the cells, some human and some not, longed for her with a ravenous madness, lust for blood growing the longer they had been sealed within the violent environment of the prison. Most wanted to see her lying in a puddle of her own blood as the life slowly faded out of her agonised eyes, or made their personal bitch where they’d sell her body out for cigarettes (a fate Elsa considered significantly worse).

At last they reached her cell and Elsa was shoved inside and the guards abandoned her to the whims of whoever else lay within. The monster hunter struggled to regain her balance as she stumbled forwards.
Elsa was quick to notice the hunched over shadow in the corner of the cell. The harsh UV lighting from the hallway that had casted a eerie darkness inside, illuminated the figure barely. Elsa swallowed heavily to prepare what kind of horror she was roomed with when the figure turned around and faced her.

The girl had beautiful, dark, though somewhat matted curly hair which framed her intelligent eyes and tan face. Along her left eye was a strange tattoo that bore resemblance to The Eye of Ra, with a long curl that extended down to her cheek. She was pretty, Elsa noted, which wasn’t something she expected to find in this prison.
“Hello.” The girl spoke in an accent of unclear origin. “You look familiar.”
“Do I? You don’t” Elsa replied rather bluntly.
The stranger nodded. “Elsa Bloodstone, isn’t it?” The girl's eyes widened animatedly. “The monster hunter.” She grinned.
Elsa stared at her unamused, she was hoping that people wouldn’t recognize her. She had a lot of enemies. “Right, that's me. Which of your loved ones exactly did I kill?” she jumped to being defensive fast. In her line of work people that recognized you wanted to gut you alive and then feast off your flesh. It was practically a daily occurrence to come across some revenge driven brood.
“None. We’ve actually often been chasing the same lead.” Her roommate said. “My name’s Layla. Layla El-Faouly.” Layla extended her hand formally.
Elsa shook her hand with caution, wary of Layla pulling out a blade of some sort. “Okay, Layla. How long are you in for?”
Layla laughed in her face. “Does it matter?” She had been arrested months ago for stealing ancient artifacts and breaking the Accords, but that was none of Elsa’s business.
“Fuck see if I try and get to know you again” Elsa replied only half-jokingly. She didn’t socialise very well so this entire exchange was painfully awkward for her. She almost wished Layla had just tried to kill her.
“How did you get caught?” Layla asked, unaware of the other’s awkwardness.
“Turns out killing people puts you on a wanted list” Elsa said dryly
“Yeah, you won’t be popular here.” Layla smiled, she had a pretty good idea of what some of the more supernatural inmates would want to do to a monster hunter. She motioned towards the bunk bed, the top one which was empty. “That’s yours.”
“Thanks” Elsa nodded. “So I take it you’re…I dunno…not going to try and make me your bitch or something?”
“Oh, no. I wouldn’t dare.” Layla smiled. She was slumped against the wall on the bottom bunk in a relaxed manner. “That’s not the kind of job I have in this prison.”
Elsa sighed as she didn’t really care, but she felt obligated to ask; “What’s your job?”
“I take favours and payment in exchange for sexual companionship.” Layla said casually. She challenged Elsa with her eyes.
Elsa stared at Layla with muted bewilderment, she didn’t think she seemed like the prostitution type. Good for her Elsa supposed. She shrugged and said: “Whatever keeps you alive”
Layla was trying to discern what Elsa was feeling, but she was hard to read. She cleared her throat.
“If you want, we can be friends.” To be quite honest, she had admired the monster hunter’s work from afar for years and wanted to hear about her travels. But obviously she couldn’t say that out loud, because that would make her seem weak. This prison wasn’t the place to freak out about meeting your hero. On top of that, like she had pointed out, Elsa was not loved here. Many creatures and humans alike had suffered personal loss because of her. It was going to be hard for Elsa to survive here.
“Well seeing as practically everyone is going to want me dead, that sounds…fine” Elsa sighed. “Sorry this really isn’t my area of expertise. I would like to be your friend” she corrected herself.
Layla smiled. “Okay.” She laid down comfortably in her bed, happy to have succeeded. “Tell me how you got caught. In detail.”
“Fine, but you have to tell me about what you did as well” Elsa sat down at the foot of Layla’s bed trying to recall the mental haze that lay over the past few weeks. “I’ve spent the past few months tracking one of Dracula’s last remaining brides through the woodlands and rural villages of Eastern Europe. Took awhile but I cornered her, only problem was that she was hiding out in a cemetery just outside Novi Grad. The dead started rising from their graves and I was forced to use more attention-drawing means to force my way out. Killed the bride but local police weren’t all that thrilled by the undead horde. They were able to link me to a town I’d previously killed…don’t ask that’s a long story…and I was sentenced to a lifelong stay here”
“Wow.” Layla said. “Dracula…”
“Well just one of his brides”
“That’s so interesting!” Layla smiled at the idea. “I love shit like that.”
Elsa smiled slightly, she never got complimented for her work. “So how did you get caught?“
Layla shrugged. “Stole some shit and became the avatar of Taweret.”
Elsa wasn’t as surprised by that as most would be. “Sure. Makes sense”
Layla grinned. “Tomorrow is gonna be rough for you. I’m just saying.”
“Oh I’m sure it will be” Elsa found herself rather apathetic about the whole thing. If this was her last night alive she didn’t really care. She either died a gruesome death (something she’d expected for most of her life) or spent the rest of a long life rotting away miserably behind bars. Neither was very promising.
“Cool. Goodnight.” Layla hoped Elsa was a quiet sleeper, because she hated having a noisy cellmate

Elsa retired to the top bunk as the lights went out, and ever so slowly, with the thoughts of her own demise narrowing moment by moment, her eyelids fell shut and she drifted off.

Deep in the darkness of that night, when even distant moans of intimate inmates had long since fallen away, and the only sound should have been the crashing waves outside, four cell doors slowly drew open. The women within lurked in the shadows of the prison like shades in the night as they converged upon one with a terrible plot. A hint of light fell through as the entrance rustled open. Elsa Bloodstone jolted awake to a piece of fabric being shoved in her mouth as she was pulled down and dragged off her bed, hitting the ground with a soft thud. “Some help Laya is” she briefly thought. Her eyes moved about frantically in the void as she tried to gain some glimpse of who her kidnappers were.

Elsa kicked and attempted to scream as loud as she could through her cloth muzzle, anything to escape their grasp or alert a guard, but it was no use. Her screams came out as muffled murmurs. As they left her cell she managed to lock her foot between the bars but one of her kidnappers grabbed her leg and forced her to comply. When they arrived at the exit, a solitary guard stood watch and she emotionlessly spoke: “Take her to the showers. It’ll be easier to clean up the blood”

So into the showers they went. The hand that held Elsa’s cloth in place fell back as she was pinned against the tiled wall, which came with a punch to the gut. In a pained and fearful haze she looked up and in the flickering light she could now see the five that stood before her; a vampire, werewolf, demon, and a couple witches (Agatha Harkness stood at centre) all ready to see her die. A hand clasped her chest and she felt the cold air of the room embrace her breasts as the front of her jumpsuit was undone. Elsa briefly considered whether this was done to make carving her chest open easier or were the inmates just perverted, or possibly both.
With a last burst of energy she broke an arm free and nearly elbowed a lycan woman in the chin, but a shiv was raised to the monster hunter’s throat. “Try that again” taunted the otherworldly voice of a vampire by the name of Verlaine.
“I expected her to be taller” Agatha bemused, letting out a loud cackling laugh at her own unfunny joke that echoed off the walls and made several others cringe outwardly.
“Sorry to disappoint” Elsa said, trying to mask her fear with a veneer of wit. The blade at her throat pressed closer until all it would take is one push to cut into her soft flesh.
“Oh I promise that nothing is disappointing about you…” Agatha remarked, creepily eying the monster hunter over.
From the shadows cast by the flickering light a beautiful half-succubus woman emerged, Satana. Her fair skin was nearly deathly pale and from her long pure platinum white hair emerged two long ram-like horns. There was a demonically entrancing vibe to her blood red eyes that reflected the Hell within her as her gaze bore deep within Elsa’s soul. “Elsa Bloodstone, butcher of beasts, we have gathered here tonight to gain retribution for all that you have done.” She strangely spoke softly. “Consider yourself on trial on behalf of all monsters. I can’t say that this will be much of a fair one. Well girls, is she guilty?” She flamboyantly gestured to the other four as if presenting Elsa to them for the first time.
The monsters around Satana all jeered in agreement.
“Well that’s sorted, we all agree you’re guilty!” Agatha chuckled and then with a wide grin on her face she spoke “We hereby sentence you to death! Everyone, get what you want to say to her out before we slit her throat…or worse.”
Elsa couldn’t help but roll her eyes as everyone gathered around her all began throwing every possible accusation, insult, and remark imaginable. Finally she yelled “Kill me if you’re going to kill me. But if I am forced to hear one more bloody thing from you lot”
“You heard her.” Satana smiled. “What are we thinking; heart carved out, throat slit as Agatha suggested, gut her alive, or all of the above?!”
Her eyelids fell low as she looked over her sanguine nails and then she looked up and her smile fell slightly. Elsa felt Verlaine’s shiv move away from her throat and her soon-to-be-executors all looked to the entrance at once.
“How about none of the above?” Layla’s voice echoed from the far end of the showers. Elsa took this moment of distraction to take the blade from Verlaine and she slashed her way free.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

The full moon gave way to sunrise and Elsa remained in the showers, beaten and bruised with a few horrid cuts that would probably leave some scars (but nowhere near as many scars as she’d given to her captors), standing in the crimson pool that slowly gurgled down the drain, taking a long moment to catch her breath. Somehow she’d actually survived the night. All thanks to Layla of course. For now it was over. Agatha’s group had been forced to flee, humiliated and bloody, back to whatever gang they came from saying that they’d failed to kill one person. Elsa didn’t imagine that news would go over well with their leader and knowing her own luck more problems would probably arise from this, but for now she was ok and that was all that mattered.
Slowly she opened her eyes and…a witch, the one that had held her against the wall, was standing in the corner. Elsa only sighed and gripped the blood slicked shiv in her hand again and started to walk towards her, but it became apparent that she wouldn’t have to kill her after all as the witch fearfully screamed:
“I-I just wanted to make myself available to you!”
Elsa smirked “Brilliant. You can start by cleaning all this shit up”

Chapter 9: Sylvie appears!

Notes:

we also wrote an introductory chapter to sylvie after the hype around loki season 2. i hope you enjoy this and the next chapter is back to regular programming :D

Chapter Text

That night dark clouds had gathered above The Raft bringing with it a violent storm. The emergency lights blared pulsating red and the klaxon alerted all, but it wasn’t the lightning crashing all around and mighty waves pounding against the facility that stirred any alarm. No, those were fairly standard. It was what the monitors had detected inside the prison that caught security’s attention. What had started as flickers of orange in a small corner of the showers had turned into a translucent rectangular portal and from it emerged a woman dressed in armour with a long flowing emerald cloak and a crown of golden horns atop her head. Sylvie Laufeydottir, Goddess of Mischief, had arrived.

Minutes prior, a long awaited calm washed over Sylvie as she stood silently staring at the fresh corpse of He Who (No Longer) Remains. An eternally frozen look of agony carved on his dead face as her sword hung impaled through his chest, blood still dripping down onto his purple robes. He was the man who destroyed so much of her life. Her home. Her family was gone because of him. For a millennia she’d sought revenge and it had finally led her beyond time itself. It may have taken shoving Loki through a portal, but she assured herself he’d be fine…

This moment of peace was quickly cut short as the sound of the lighthouse crumbling into nothing boomed through the eternal nothing and then the rest of the castle began to shake. “Fuck!” Sylvie cursed to herself as she quickly ripped her sword out of her slain foe’s heart, muscle and tissue still clinging to the blade, and then desperately fiddled with her tempad. There was just one charge left and no time to enter proper coordinates as the Citadel collapsed around her. She chose to risk it and just hope that it would land her somewhere safe.

The goddess panted desperately as she fled through the glowing orange gateway, emerging dishevelled in…a tiled room. The floor was still slick with water and there was a sort of grime along the pale walls that overall made the room look rather unpleasant. It appeared to her to be some sort of public bathhouse. She briefly looked down at her little multiversal travel device hoping it might at least have some indication of where and when exactly she was. Nothing. The screen went dark and wouldn’t turn back on until it had properly been recharged. Not great but at least she wasn’t on an airless moon or another zombie universe. She’d grown to hate zombie infected universes during her travels. Alarms were blaring though. That was never good.

Sylvie ran out of the bathing room and into a long hallway that was illuminated by flashing red lights that swirled about. The sound of at least a dozen footsteps grew nearer and nearer. She drew her sword just as armoured guards rounded the corner armed with tasers. Weapons pointed on both sides, a guard in heavy metallic riot like gear who was presumably their leader stepped forwards and said from behind a screen veiled mask, “Ma’am, please put down the sword”

Sylvie eyed the guards for a moment, a devilish smirk on her face that could mean only trouble. Unlike her variants who would probably introduce themselves to the guards by now with some speech declaring themselves gods of Asgard or Jötunheim burdened with glorious purpose, she found the idea of it all a little too dramatic. Sylvie much preferred practicality over style. She could fight her way through the all female warriors before her (she briefly wondered if this was a matriarchal timeline, but that wasn’t important at the moment) then question any who survive for details on this new universe.

The guards tensed with the mysterious traveller’s ominous silence…just before she swung the flat of the sword at the nearest guard, intent to knock her off her feet. The first fell hard to the ground and the others advanced, firing tasers and intent on striking with their batons to stun the intruder. Sylvie twirled her sword and caught the first violent baton blow in a tight embrace as a charged tasing shot hit her in the abdomen. The impact of the shot proved far more effective than the actual shock. At best it would be a method that slowed her. With the might of her true Jötun force, she shoved her attacker against the wall and spun around in time to catch another blow with her hand, using the blunt weapon and hitting it’s wielder in the throat with it. The next that tried to harm her was met with a bubbling blast of fiery green magic that bent them to her will.

 

The Raft’s security was nothing against her power, and that particular group of guards fell in a matter of minutes. Fortunately for the prison, but unfortunately for Sylvie, those few minutes gave the rest of the armed security enough time to properly prepare. As Sylvie stood atop a pile of the wounded she looked up to see a group of a dozen guards emerge in the dim red light. These ones were using various state-of-the-art HAMMER designed vibranium weapons. Before she could even properly register their presence, the sound of another party coming behind her echoed down the hall.

The guards levelled their stun guns at the Goddess of Mischief and immediately opened fire. 4 shots barely phased her, 6 slowed her down. 10 brought her to a knee, and 15 caused her to cry out as she collapsed. The guards took this as their chance to quickly wrap an inhibitor collar, a large device of wires and metal, around her neck and rip the sword from her grasp. For her part Sylvie resisted for as long as possible but as soon as the device locked around her throat with a loud *click* she could feel her strength rapidly deteriorating. She reached up in an attempt to enchant the nearest attacker. At first green sparks emerged from her fingertips but those fizzled into nothing. Her arms were pulled behind her back and the cold metal of handcuffs bound her wrists. She stopped moving and struggling, just gasping for air. Part of her deep down was glad it was over. After an immortal lifetime of running...she’d been caught. There was a certain satisfying finality to that, and nobody could say she didn't fight with her all.

Sylvie was brought to her feet and dragged to a place of uncertainty. She looked around but made no attempt at further resistance. They arrived at an unlabeled room, but upon entering it was rather clear what it was. A small dark chamber with only a table and two chairs sitting in the centre of the room. Interrogation. Sylvie’s handcuffs were connected to a small hook on the table and then she was left in blissful silence as she mentally recovered from her brutal beating. She breathed slowly, trying to calm myself before whatever came next.

The exact amount of time she was left to wait was rather unclear to her. Time seemed to drag when she wasn’t constantly living in an apocalypse. Eventually the door was thrown open and a woman with long black hair dressed in a dark purple skirt and blouse stepped inside, Warden Valentina Allegra de Fontaine would be handling things personally. Sylvie noted the newcomer hardly seemed to fit in with the armoured warriors that she’d previously encountered.
“Applause are owed to you for managing to do whatever you did tonight. It's not easy to do what you did. You made my women, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world, look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. That’s hurtful. Don’t even get me started on my bewilderment at how you somehow managed to get past our anti-teleportation technology. Pretty impressive I must say” the woman in purple complimented in a sickly sweet tone.
“Thank you...but it wasn't exactly intentional. I'm just passing through” Sylvie replied
“Oh you’re a comedian too I see” Val rolled her eyes “No one is “just passing through” here. Tell me who you were trying to break out and we can get this over with a lot faster”
Sylvie looked at her with genuine confusion. "Break out? Is this some kind of prison?"
“There’s playing dumb and then there’s just pretending to be a moron but fine I’ll play your game. Yes it’s a prison. Actually kinda y’know the most secure women’s prison on the planet.“
Sylvie nodded, taking that in. "And based on your appearance and style of dress, we're in Midgard, correct?"
“Ok so you’re Asgardian! Good to know. There we go a bit of information!” Val replied condescendingly. “Yes this is Midgard”
"Seven other realms call this place Midgard, you know, and that's not even pointing out parallel realities." Sylvie pointed out. "...But yes I am Asgardian...or Jötunheimen, depending on perspective, Midgardian”
“So which of the Norse goddesses are you? Or are you just some random Frost Giant?” Val finally took a seat opposite Sylvie and began writing in a file.
She sighed. "I don't suppose the name Sylvie Laufeydottir means anything to you?"
Val pondered the name of Laufeydottir for a moment trying to remember why that sounded familiar. Annoyingly rapping her pen against the table as she thought. Then it connected. “Laufey? So you’re related to Loki?”
"Sort of. I am a Loki from another timeline”
Val looked at Sylvie, not entirely convinced. “Sure”
Sylvie raised an eyebrow at her obvious scepticism. "You don't know about parallel timelines? Right, this clearly isn't a TVA facility. And...you've already encountered my counterpart in this timeline?"
Val looked unamused. She took a long pause before asking with exasperation “You’re just Loki aren’t you? I mean we thought you were dead, but then again it wouldn’t be the first time you’ve faked your death”
"Well yes I am Loki. That's what I was named, anyway, but that isn't my chosen name." Sylvie replied, oblivious to the cultural context her words took on.
“Ok….” Val nodded. Deciding she’d need to call more than a few people to discuss what to do now that Loki was A) alive and B) captured. “Well this has been an enlightening conversation. One of my officers will be in here to continue asking you questions”
"Will I get to ask questions at any point?"
“Depending on how much you cooperate, yes maybe”
Sylvie looked her in the eyes for a long moment, ready to argue...but quit. "Alright."
She’d destroyed the TVA, defeated her greatest enemy in He Who Remains… and now was ready to rest. In prison? Sure, why not. Seemed as good a place as any to her.
——
Another long wait passed of sweet boredom for Sylvie. She couldn’t believe she hadn’t felt genuine boredom since she was just a child on Asgard. Occasionally she’d test the resilience of her cuffs but they held strong. In fact it felt like they were draining her every time she tried to pull at them.
Eventually a tall brunette officer stepped in, having been given a quick summary from Val she felt she semi-know what to do. Just fill out the file and, more importantly, process the new arrival. Her heart already ached to just get to the latter task. “Alright so what’s your name?”
"I am Sylvie Laufeydottir, Princess of Asgard and Jötunheim" she replied calmly. "Yours?"
“Officer Sarah Weaver”
"Nice to meet you." Sylvie said, with a smile that could be anything from purely sincere to bitingly sarcastic. It was difficult to tell with her.
“Yeah likewise.” Weaver took a seat. “Ok so how did you break in?” she asked with extreme disinterest.
"I used a Tempad. Time-travel technology from the TVA...I think I dropped it when I was captured so you should have it. Not certain if you’ll know how to properly use it though” Sylvie leaned back as far as the chain of the cuffs would allow.
“Ok. Well then I suppose it would be best to get you situated within this facility.”
"Yes, I think so. Tell me, what is this place?" Sylvie asked
“It’s called The Raft. The most highly advanced facility meant to hold enhanced women, like yourself, that exists. Outside these walls are about 2000 kilometres of ocean standing in the way of any land mass. So don’t think of escaping” Weaver answered, just a little too happy to state how hopeless the situation of prisoners looking for freedom truly was. She liked letting the sorry women that were incarcerated know just how isolated from the outside world they were.
“Oh I wouldn’t dream of escaping. But criminal? What crimes have I committed in this world and timeline?" Sylvie figured she was getting locked up, but wanted to hear their justifications anyway.
“Terrorism, mass murder, destruction of a city, trying to conquer the world. All that stuff” Weaver named a few examples off a long list of crimes.
"Really? I did all that? Quite a feat, given that I've never been here before." Sylvie replied, knowing there was no use in trying to explain the whole variant thing but still needing to at least say something.
Weaver ignored the last bit and continued asking some standard questions for far longer than either woman wanted to bear. It dragged on…and on…and on.

Chapter 10: Ultraviolence

Notes:

This chapter contains pretty extreme gore (violence). Reader's discretion advised. You can skip to the next chapter if you wish and not miss anything.

Chapter Text

Monica felt her stomach drop as she saw the threatening women looming over her. The three mutants stood menacingly like a triad of witches hell bent on some form of archaic vengeance. Standing at center was Jean and to her left was Rogue, a younger Southern mutant with flowing brunette hair that had a sole streak of pearl white running through, and to the right was Mystique, feared shapeshifting mutant-supremacist who was shockingly entirely naked. 

Jean, for her part, was no longer in control. Though conscious of what was happening, she was sealed away deep inside and a dark twisted being she’d long struggled with now held dominion over her body.  

Monica went to get up and move out of the way but the chains on her ankles pulled taut and she had to try very hard to not fall over back onto her butt. 

Jean’s eyes burned afire like the flickering embers of a reborn Phoenix, pupils bright with shifting shades of molten gold and flame. Her voice dropped an octave from its formerly-natural state as she spoke:

“You really shouldn’t be taking unauthorised breaks like this. The guards are strict on lazy inmates” The Phoenix remarked

“Jean.” Carol said, smiling sadly, also getting up. “I already expected you weren’t really that forgiving. But c’mon, this is low. At least make it a fair fight.” She felt panic rise in her chest, but hid it really well. Her hands were raised defensively. Though she did not have her full powers, her hands were still really strong and as she had proved earlier that week, could definitely knock someone unconscious. They sparkled weakly now.

“Jean is in here…somewhere, but no I am in control now and I will be far less forgiving of your transgressions” The Phoenix replied, unable to stand being confused with the woman she was forced to share a body with. 

Monica stepped in front of Carol, careful to not fall. “Leave Carol out of this. She was just defending me.” 

Carol was surprised by her friend’s confidence and loyalty. Her mom and her really did a hell of a job raising her. 

The Phoenix chuckled dryly, the joy not reaching her eyes in the slightest. “I am defending what’s mine too.” 

She motioned to Rogue and Mystique to move and both women immediately complied. Monica let put a grueled pathetic cry, screaming: “What the fuck?!” as Rogue grabbed her by her neck. 

Rogue’s touch felt like a dozen little needles being pushed just deep enough into Monica’s throat to prick against each and every little nerve. 

The Phoenix smirked wickedly, testing out the swing on the pickaxe she brought with her. “The guards really don’t give a shit that some of us still can use our powers, do they? For example, I could make you see things that would make any pain in the physical realm seem a sweet relief, your mind engulfed in flame.  But I won’t…”

Monica breathed out in relief. Carol got even more scared. Mystique had approached her and Carol had swung at her, but the trained shapeshifting assassin easily deflected the blow and gripped Carol tight, pressing the tip of a blade against her throat to keep her from moving. 

The Phoenix continued talking “...I won’t because I’d prefer to leave you with something to reflect upon when you think of touching what belongs to me. Consider it my mercy” She enjoyed seeing the two women that had hurt Wanda so powerless. 

“You sound like a classic movie super villain, you know that?” Carol said, getting fed up with this unfair attack on her and Monica. She should have not let her guard down, and not believed Jean, or whatever was currently possessing her, was suddenly the forgiving sort. “Does Wanda know you’re doing this?” She tried hopelessly. “We all know she’s not above hurting people, but I don’t think she would approve.”

“Wanda doesn’t know anything. That’s her problem. She has allowed people to walk all over her since she came to this place.” The Phoenix rolled her eyes. “She needs me to protect her. That’s all I’m trying to do..” She looked at Monica. “Because of you, Carol hurt her face. Her beautiful, innocent face.” The Phoenix’s molten eyes looked crazed now, flaring at Monica intimidatingly. “For that, you must be punished.” 

Monica stiffened. “I really didn’t mean to upset her. I tried to be friends with her in the past.” She rambled.

“I don’t care about your intentions. You should have stayed out of our business. And I have thought of a perfect punishment for you.” 

Monica struggled to not think of the most horrible things that could happen next. She tried not to flinch when Jean moved her hand up, but did so involuntarily. Her skin still burned where Rogue touched her, holding her back. Carol let out a growl as she expected Jean to hit her friend.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you. Not you. I’m going to hurt your friend.” The Phoenix smiled sweetly. “Rogue, honey, please move her to the wall a bit. I don’t want her to get too close and get any ideas.” 

Rogue complied and pulled Monica along, until the chains around her ankles were stretched and couldn’t go any further. “If you move, I’ll cut your ears and lips off.” 

Monica swallowed heavily and nodded. 

Jean’s sparkling, angry eyes focused on Carol, who had her eyes trained on Monica and Rogue since they moved. “Carol.” She hissed. “Look at me.”

Carol’s eyes lazily moved towards her and she challenged her with her stare. “What are you gonna do?” 

“Well, since you hurt what I love and need, I thought I’d return the favor. And I don’t mean this pathetic friend of yours. No, I want to hurt you. Because the thing you love the most is yourself. You act like you’re on top of the world. It’s sickening.” The Phoenix prodded the tip of her finger with the pickaxe, testing out the sharpness. “You think no one can hurt you. That you’re too strong.”

“That’s not true.” Carol said, shrugging. “I think you’re reflecting your own insecurities a bit there.” 

She knew she was not helping her case at all by insulting Jean, but she was not a coward. She would never plead for her life. She’d rather go out with a bang.

“You’re mistaken.” The Phoenix whispered. “I’m gonna prove I can hurt you. Since you hurt my Wanda…I hope you can understand. What’s the expression? An eye for an eye…” 

Jean softly set her pickaxe against the wall and then pulled a crude weapon out from her jumpsuit. A makeshift shiv made from a lovingly sharpened plastic fork with a handle of stolen bandages to avoid the wielder cutting herself.
The Phoenix got close enough that Carol could feel her hot breath against her skin and stare deep into her hollowed eyes of pure madness. They continued this direct eye contact as Jean raised the shiv into view and slid it’s sharpened tip against the rim of Carol’s iris and slowly slid it downwards in an agonising trajectory. Blood and tears mixed as her eye was carved from its place and hewn in half by Jean’s steady hand. Carol cried out and attempted with all her might to break free, but to no avail. By the time Jean had finished, Carol was a sobbing mess of agony. Half of her fair face ran red with the opened wound. 

The Phoenix stepped back with a satisfied smile. She wiped a bit of blood off her fresh orange jumpsuit, which just spread the stain further. 

Tears were streaming down Monica’s face and her mouth was opened in a silent scream of horror. “What is wrong with you?!” She shouted, pulling against her restraints, trying to get to Carol. 

Rogue let out a chuckle. “So much.” She said softly so only Monica could hear. “Now hold tight, Sugah” Rogue teased as she held Monica against the ground, her arms out. 

“So what will you girls not do again? Say it and we can be done” Jean asked, her voice as condescending as possible.

Monica felt anger, fear and sadness pool together. 

“Fuck you.” She spat. 

“That’s too bad.” The Phoenix said, grabbing the pickaxe from the wall. She twirled it in her hand before bringing it down with all her might into Monica’s fingers. There was an agonising cry and sickening snap. Where two of her fingers had been there were now only gory stumps. 

“Look at that! A clean cut right there. I did it first try” The Phoenix laughed as blood gushed out on the stone floors of the mine. She raised the pickaxe and looked at the crimson that now dripped from her wretched tool, the gentle sound of droplets falling to the ground drowned by Monica’s unceasing pained howls of unbearable pain. 

Jean looked annoyed as the unmonitored time she’d bribed the guards for was coming to an end. “This has been fun, but unfortunately we have to go.” she said with a snap of her fingers and her two enforcers let go of Monica and Carol.

“I hope you learned your lesson.” The Phoenix said strongly, looking at both women laying bleeding on the floor of the cave before turning away, Mystique and Rogue following her. The sobs of both Carol and Monica were the only sounds reverberating off the wall.

Chapter 11: Pretty When You Cry

Chapter Text

Blinding pain was the only thing Carol felt. Her entire face felt like it was on fire and she sobbed silently in agony. She wished she could die just so the pain would stop but she sadly didn’t seem so lucky. Her entire body was shaking from the mixture of the pain and the sudden shock. Her eye. Her right eye had been stabbed. 

“Carol?” Monica said to her in a whimper, mind still flashing with the torments The Phoenix had shown her. Words couldn’t begin to describe the vast depths of flaming depravity that had been carved deep into her mind, so terrible that they’d merged into a molten blur that she barely remembered. 

Carol could hear shuffling on the cave floor and the moving of dirt and then felt Monica clutching at her body. She didn’t have the mental energy to reply, so she just moaned. 

Monica’s hand was wrecked and she feared she might bleed out and die right here, but she ripped a part of her prison uniform and wrapped her bleeding hand sloppily inside it. With a sickening feeling she realised her fingers were on the floor next to them and she pocketed them, resisting the urge to vomit. Maybe the nurses could somehow reattach them. Her good hand felt for Carol’s neck and then her pulse, gratefully realising her friend was still alive. She heard her moan vaguely and felt her heart drop as she looked at the damage Jean had done to her eye. She didn’t dare look longer and averted her gaze. “Help!” She yelled out desperately, feeling that Carol didn’t have long with her eye socket exposed and bleeding in the cold air. Her voice cracked and she tried again, repeatedly asking for help in the dark air of the cave they were trapped in. She wrapped her good arm around Carol protectively and felt desperation rise.

 

It took a long time before she was greeted with the sound of footsteps in the distance. Part of her worried Jean and her gang were coming back for a second round and she braced herself to protect Carol’s body incase that happened. Three guards rounded the corner and she breathed out in relief. “We need help, we’ve been attacked.” She yelped.

“What the fuck happened here?” Said one of the guards, immediately moving to Carol to check on her vitals. “Jesus.” 

Monica wanted to snitch on Jean and her gang, but somehow knew that would only make it worse. “We got attacked. Didn’t see who. Please help her.” 

One of the guards knelt down next to her and grabbed her injured hand roughly by the wrist. “Who did this?” She asked, making eye contact with Monica who winced in pain.

“I don’t know!” She cried. 

The guard huffed and let go of her. “I think your friend’s the one with the injured eye, not you. But okay.”

She motioned for the guards to get backup and not much later both Monica and Carol were rushed to the prison hospital.



The Phoenix had relinquished its sharp grip on Jean for the time being and left her to deal with the fallout of what happened in the mines. Just like so many times prior, the burning sadistic rage of the Phoenix abandoned Jean in the wake of its disasters. As always, Jean was at first sickened by her other’s actions, but she resolved to move on and do what she could to forget it ever happened for as long as possible. The consequences would find her soon enough, but for now she had peace. Nothing had happened in the mines. She’d returned to her cell and was peacefully sprawled across her bed boredly reading a book when the cell door abruptly began to open and from the corner of her eye she could see someone entering. 

“Hi” Jean passively greeted without bothering to look up from her page at who it could be. She already knew who it was just by quickly glancing over their current thoughts. 

“Where have you been?” Wanda asked, a little ticked off. “I was looking for you earlier.” Jean noticed Wanda seemed stressed and worried. Her thoughts confirmed her suspicions as the witch’s anxieties about Jean being up to no good swirled around and around. 

“I had a few Sisterhood matters to deal with. Nothing worth worrying about'' Jean grew a little tense. Blips of the shiv in her hand slowly carving through gore and flesh flashed in her mind. Doing her best to push it out of her conscience, she finished the last sentence of her page and softly set the book aside to give Wanda her full attention. Brushing aside a strand of her bright red hair off her face and furrowed her brow at Wanda’s lack of action. “What’s the rule we established about you being in my cell?”

Wanda’s brow furrowed as she sat down next to Jean on the bed. She looked concerned. “What are you talking about? There is no rule.” She wondered if her girlfriend might be losing it. “I’m worried about you. Please tell me where you were today.”

“Oh right we haven’t discussed your new living conditions yet. Take off your jumpsuit. I want you naked whenever you’re in my cell” Jean sounded just a little annoyed that Wanda didn’t somehow know about this previously unspoken rule. Maybe her irritation was that the little witch wanted details and it was a topic she knew would upset her. It wasn’t worth accessing the source in her opinion. “I appreciate your concern but really I’m fine”

Wanda scoffed. “W-What are you talking about?”

“It’s the new rule of you getting to come in here” Jean shrugged. “Getting” being flimsy at best considering the prison forced them into being cellmates.

Wanda checked Jean’s face to see if she was joking. “I’m not an object, you know.” She whispered.

Jean softly smiled and tried to sound sweet “Oh I know that. Of course I know that. I love you. It’s just that this would make me very happy”

Wanda’s shoulders slumped. “Why won’t you just tell me what happened?” 

“I told you already. I met with members of the Sisterhood and we discussed a few matters. Why the fuck do you care so much?” the sweetness in Jean’s tone slipped before she breathed and resumed where she left off. “Look, I've had a really long day. Can you just take off your clothes?” Wanda probed for answers on a topic that Jean wanted to be distracted from. 

Wanda’s jaw clenched. “Well, I’m not really in the mood. You’re making me feel uncomfortable.”

Jean’s expression darkened and her eyes flickered alight. The Phoenix emerged for a moment and spoke: “What do you mean you’re not in the mood?! You belong to me! I tell you what to say, when to shut up, and when I want you to fuck me and you do exactly as I command. I require very specific things from you and if you can’t provide them well you’re basically useless. What we have going here is a deal. I protect you from all your friends in Hydra and whoever else is on the long list of people you’ve pissed off while on your many emotional fits, all of whom I’m sure would be more than happy to harm you in ways you can’t even imagine by the way, and in return all I ask of you is to do what I want. Without me you’d be between Agatha’s legs under threat of death. I protect you so you’ll strip when fucking I tell you to! Got that?” before falling back into slumber and letting Jean handle the rest. 

Wanda’s eyes filled with tears and she swallowed heavily. In any other world, she would refuse and go against her girlfriend, but she was right. She needed Jean to protect her. “Okay.” She simply said, sniffing and wiping her eyes hastily before unzipping her jumpsuit once again. 

The Phoenix exhaled slowly and nodded in satisfaction at Wanda’s compliance. “Thank you” she smiled.

Wanda looked at Jean expectantly, not sure what the other wanted her to do. 

Jean shuffled down the bed and reached down under it. She grabbed a box, the inside clattering together as she moved it up on the bed.

Wanda knew the box very well. It contained a variety of sex toys and other paraphernalia they had used in their previous sexual escapades. Just the sight of it already turned her on and she felt desire pool in her lower abdomen, regardless of the circumstances. Part of her loved being dominated by Jean, even though she knew that she was being treated badly. Especially when Jean’s dark side took over. Wanda didn’t completely understand it, but she knew Jean didn’t do it on purpose. However, the two sides of her girlfriend were so intertwined together, that it was hard for her to tell which was which. It was really confusing and right out hurtful at times. 

Jean noticed Wanda’s eyes following her movements closely and smirked. She knew Wanda’s mental conflict well, but if she had to deal with it so too did the witch. As if justifying things to herself she said, “You really are lucky that it’s me, and not her” 

Wanda nodded obediently and her hand moved towards the box, trying to show initiative to go all the way. 

Jean stopped her hand by grabbing her wrist. 

“I decide. Not you.”

Gulping, Wanda put her hand back in her lap. “Okay.”

 

Jean let out a sigh. “Honestly I don’t feel like doing much today. I’m tired. Today, I’d like to just watch. And you do what I say.”

Her hand dove into the box and she pulled out a small device Wanda knew all too well. It was probably her favorite. It was a soft rose gold and had a white tip.

Jean handed it to Wanda and then shuffled back down towards her comfortable sitting place with her pillow against the wall. “Go on.” She motioned Wanda.

Wanda sat on the other side of the bed, her back also leaning against the back of it, and got comfortable. 

Her long sleek fingers carefully pressed the device between her legs and she turned it on. She was used to turning it up to the fastest setting, because that simply felt the best. But when she proceeded to do so, Jean audibly stopped her. “No, that’s too fast. Slow.”

Wanda groaned but complied. She set the device to the lowest setting and pushed it up against her skin. The vibrations were barely there, but still teased her a little bit. She watched Jean with big eyes, who seemed satisfied. “Play with yourself.” She ordered.

Wanda’s hand flew towards her own breast as she squeezed it, fingering the nipple carefully. She let out a quiet breath at the feeling.

Jean’s sight remained fixed on Wanda as she exhaled softly and started to slowly undo her own jumpsuit. The uniform glided open and the mutant slid her hand down along her abdomen in anticipation. Unable to wait as she originally planned, her fingers seemed to drift downwards beneath the cover of orange fabric and softly pressed between her legs. 

Wanda noticed her girlfriend’s movement and smirked softly. It felt good to be able to turn her on, even though she wasn’t really allowed to touch Jean. She had some issues with being vulnerable, which Wanda respected. 

“Turn it up a bit.” Jean said, her breath a little more ragged.

Wanda complied and immediately felt the sensation become stronger, turning her on more and also feeling good in general. 

Jean’s pace quickened alongside her, rubbing in sporadic circular motions.

Wanda studied Jean carefully, trying to figure her out. While the waves of slight pleasure went through her, she was also still thinking about what Jean had been up to. She hated being left out of her plans, because it usually was nothing good. And she felt responsible for trying to prevent her from hurting people, but that was hard to do when she was of a lesser station with The Sisterhood. 

Jean looked at her face and raised her eyebrow. “You’re distracted. That’s not what I want to see.”

Wanda looked up, caught, not sure what was gonna happen next.

“Turn it up all the way.” Jean commanded. She watched Wanda’s face carefully.

Wanda couldn’t stop the moans escaping from her mouth as the vibrator rocked her world. All other thoughts were expelled from her mind. She closed her eyes in pleasure, no longer focused on Jean or even anything but the feeling between her legs. It didn’t take long for her legs to start shaking and she felt herself getting extremely close to a climax.

Suddenly, the vibrator was snatched from between her legs. The loss of pleasurable sensation made her audibly groan. Her eyes shot open and she watched Jean waving the vibrator in her hand, an evil smirk playing on her face. 

“What are-“ Wanda didn’t even have enough time to properly react before Jean, now completely undressed, had cast the toy aside and pushed the witch down against the mattress. 

The mentally unstable redhead she called her girlfriend slid forward across the sheets and sat herself down atop Wanda’s stomach, slowly rolling forth until her face hovered above the witch’s. Wanda, unable to turn away from the brewing embers in Jean’s previously hazelnut eyes, felt her wrists being grabbed and then pinned down above her. 

“Do you remember when you first arrived here? How you begged *her* for penance?” Jean asked with bated breath. 

“Jean, please stop” Wanda whimpered softly, very uncomfortable but trying to not offend Jean as her mind raced with memory and fantasy. Flashes of red chaos rushed across her mind in sanguine destruction as the temple of Mount Wundagore crashed down atop her. She felt a deep hollowness, like that which she felt when the Darkhold still held her bound, and the guilt of the many she’d killed in her pursuit for her own desires. The witch slowly sunk into the grief, barely noticing the sensations of Jean grinding her wet womanhood against her body.

The sound of her girlfriend's moans pulled her from the recesses of thought and she tried to wrench her mind from the void she teetered over…but she couldn’t. It wasn’t just the inability to focus her mind elsewhere, it felt as if something held her mind in place and played through them. It quickly became apparent what was happening.

“Jean, stop!” Wanda yelled much less worried about hurting her feelings now. She felt trapped, both physically and mentally.  Reliving her memories hurt her to the bone.

In a voice unlike her own The Phoenix responded between menacing moans of her own self pleasure: “Do I not bring you what you once pleaded for? Is torment not what you deserve?” 

Rolling her hips with each pass of her lips, slipping across the wetness still pooled across Wanda’s crotch, The Phoenix probed deeper into memories and sensations. 

 

Wanda’s mind flickered forth from the ruins to what she remembered next, the sudden release of the wreckage that crushed into her chest and falling through a portal. Stephen Strange had rescued her from her tomb only to deliver her to the custody of The Raft, his parting words to her being: “In the grand calculus of the multiverse, Wanda, this is for your own good and that of the infinity you could destroy”

Wanda remembered the numb feeling within as she faced every degradation imaginable for her intake. How at first a guard sealed the heavy collar that still lay wrapped around her neck then she was ordered to undress before all that stood in the room as they watched. Piece by piece her armour came undone until the final article of clothing fell to the ground and, the formerly mighty, Scarlet Witch stood naked and cold before them. From there two or three of them (she didn’t have time to properly count) held her down against the table as a gloved hand ran across every part of her body, ripping through her knotted mass of auburn hair, down along her arms, and then the surge of pain as fingers were pushed deep up her butt and she was searched. Just as she remembered the feeling, she felt Jean play with her behind in real time and gasped.

When all was finally done, Wanda had asked her captors what her exact sentence was, only to be met with a sardonic reply. Even now, Wanda still agreed she rightfully had no chance of release. 

The Phoenix had now arched her back and stretched her legs along Wanda’s side to place herself in the position where she could suck on the witch’s left breast, areola caught precariously between her teeth as she flicked her tongue up against it. The Phoenix reached into the next memory now. It was one she always enjoyed. The memory of how they first met.

 

"I didn't think they were terrified enough of anybody to lock them up with me” Jean had said, reclining atop her bed as the cell door sealed behind Wanda, freshly brought in from her arrival. 

Wanda had glanced Jean over half-trying to understand why this other woman was such a threat. A look of confusion painted on her face, she asked: “Why would they be afraid of you?” 

"You didn't hear about what happened at Alcatraz?" Jean asked with pure bewilderment that someone wouldn’t know about her other-half’s rampage. 

Wanda only looked at her with more confusion. 

"Suffice to say, I came under a bad influence, that of a man called Magneto...and a lot of people died." 

Wanda remembered how it reminded her of herself, of her multiversal massacre. A deep feeling of regret entwined itself around her insides at the mere thought of how out of control her own actions had become. “How long have you been here?” She’d wanted to shift topics after that but Jean had pushed it with:

"You're deflecting from the interesting question. What did you do that makes them so scared of you that they threw you into the proverbial lion's den?"

Wanda bit her lip as she tried to think of a way to respond. Ultimately all she could say was: “I made mistakes and a lot of people died”

"We have that in common at least." Jean said. “Don't suppose you also have an evil alternate vesion of yourself bent on destroying the world, do you?" She followed, sarcastically.

“I don’t…but I was tempted by a spell book made by a god”

"Possessed by a malevolent force with ambitions beyond your ken...huh...It seems we have quite a bit in common. It’s probably why we’re sharing a cell”

Wanda awkwardly nodded. She didn’t want to engage with anyone currently but she wasn’t offered much chance to leave the conversation. 

“…so ever been in prison before?” Jean asked another question. Looking back at that moment, Wanda was unclear why Jean had asked so many questions. She could have just telepathically accessed all she needed to know. Maybe she had. 

“Yes but it was very different then…” Wanda had started

“…and you didn’t have a cellmate” Jean finished. "Well, prison can be a violent, predatory place. Lots of women, most of us with violent experiences, all of us under stress and unable to get away from each other...I'm sure you can guess where it leads. I’m offering to protect you, Wanda”

“I don’t think I need any protection.” Wanda said plainly

"I think you do" Jean said firmly. "Remember, you don't have your powers in here."

“I appreciate your help, but I don’t think I need or deserve any bit of comfort here. I’ve done a lot of terrible things. Every second of punishment that awaits me is something I’ve earned”

Jean's demeanour changed. Her shoulders went back, her movements became sharper and more deliberate, and her voice went down an octave. It was the first time Wanda had seen the Phoenix. "If it is torment you seek, I am the one to help with that. Most mommies offer protection. They guard their bitches as an asset, as property, and use that to buy their servitude. I intend to make you my property, Wanda. But if protection won't buy your loyalty, I'm happy to hurt you instead. In fact, I think I'm quite adept at it."

Wanda, broken by her experiences just hours prior, had accepted the deal.  

The Phoenix pulled her lips from their lock around Wanda’s nipple and smiled a devilish grin up at her little pet as she threw her hand back and began running her fingers along the witch’s womanhood herself. Her long fingers sloshed and slicked between Wanda’s lips with just a little too much force. Every pulse met at tips of The Phoenix’s fingers coincided perfectly with Wanda’s moans, and she already knew just the exact right spots to apply her sensual emphasis on. 

Despite all that the fiery alter-ego did, she found the most pleasure in that which happened within. Every little feeling of sorrow, humiliation, ecstasy, and euphoria that occurred within Wanda’s psyche made her orgasm several times over. She didn’t care what was happening to her bitch in revisiting the pain. Punishment is what she’d asked for. The twisted ecstasy of their breaths emanated from their cell for their neighbours and guards to hear, not that the Mutant Queen cared. 


Wanda’s heart beat faster and faster, breaths growing more and more ragged with every thrust. Her mind spun, flying ever closer to the perfect crescendo, then just at that last moment, teetering over the edge of deep chaotic euphoria, The Phoenix withdrew her hand from between Wanda’s thighs and released the grip of her other arm. 

“You don’t get to come today. I forbid it.” The Phoenix replied blankly. 

Frustrated, Wanda moved her hand down between her legs, defying Jean’s wish because she needed to finish. 

The Phoenix shot forward and grabbed Wanda’s wrists, pinning them against the bed behind them as she did before. 

“You will listen to me” the celestial being within the body of her girlfriend said grimly. 

Wanda shuffled her hips, looking for any type of friction to get herself off, but found nothing. She whined. “Please…” 

Jean’s face made an expression of mock pity. “Consider this your punishment for not doing as told sooner” she shrugged. “Maybe next time do what I say and I’ll let you get off”

Wanda shot her girlfriend a defiant look. “You can’t stop me forever.” Her obedience was completely out of the window now that she was so close to an orgasm, everything in her body screaming for her to finish.

“Can’t I?” The Phoenix smirked as her one hand let go and she clasped a pair of handcuffs, taken from the box, around Wanda’s wrists. She tied her to the bed, where it was impossible for Wanda to reach down. 

Wanda’s eyes opened with shock. “No, please.” She struggled against the restraints, but it was no use. “I’ll be good. I promise.”

“See, I just don’t trust you. You’ll have plenty of chances to do better but tonight you shall stay here. Consider it a mercy of me having enjoyed our session that I don’t do far worse to you for talking back” The Phoenix simply said as she put her jumpsuit back on. She checked the clock, which announced that it was almost dinnertime. “Jean is going to get dinner. You’ll think about what you did and I’ll see you tonight. Maybe we’ll bring you back something to eat”

Before Wanda could say anything else, Jean was off and the cell door slammed shut behind her, leaving Wanda alone, wetness pooling between her legs, staining Jean’s blanket and her wrists struggling against the handcuffs. The painful memories were freshly carved into her brain and she suppressed a sob.

Chapter 12: HYDRA Punks Fuck Off

Chapter Text

(Disclaimer: the perspective and views of the characters do not reflect the authors. Any slurs or otherwise offensive material is only used fictionally and not meant to upset anyone)
The brush stroked elegantly along the surface, leaving a trail of blood red crimson across her mistresses’ nail. The brush swayed to the right and came down upon the next, repeating the process of drawing downwards in a slow motion, careful to not miss a spot. Then, with shaky hands, Hope van Dyne, once the size-changing heroine known as The Wasp, lowered the brush once more into the cheap bottle of polish until its bristles were painted in the sanguine shade and she could move on to the next finger. It had become a favoured task in comparison to what other things she was expected to do.

Hope could only reflect on just how much she regretted breaking the Accords as she did her mommy’s nails. She had thought she knew the consequences when she put on her suit and defied the law, but never in a thousand years did she imagine it would result in where she was now. A life of orange jumpsuits and shackles. A life in prison.

Covered in gaudy makeup that well exceeded the line of absurdity and skin adorned in all manner of tattoos that she hated to look at, Hope could hardly recognise herself anymore. Her arms ached from her hours long shifts in the mine, her over-eyeshadowed eyes were glazed over in an exhausted dreary from a severe lack of sufficient sleep, and her rear ached from the abuse it had suffered at the hands of those she belonged to. As the tattoo on her lower back signified, she was a prison bitch. The tattoos she’d been forced into getting weren’t just your usual prison tattoos either, but specifically things that represented her gang “affiliation”. The inked out tentacles of the skull of the Hydra wrapped themselves around her chest, while lower there was a big red swastika on her lower back, and the words “bitch” and “slave” were carved into her left and right arse cheeks.

Most women in The Raft who’d been unfortunate enough to be claimed could convince themselves that in serving their “mommy” they avoided a worse fate at the hands of a worse gang, but there was no worse fate than to fall into the hands of The Raft’s very own Neo-Nazi gang. HYDRA was sure to make Hope’s every waking moment a walking nightmare of abject cruelty. Unlike other incarcerated heroes like Natasha Romanoff or even Wanda Maximoff who’d helped place a substantial number of their gang in prison in the first place, Hope had never personally dealt with them. What they did to their enslaved hero was for no reason other than perverse entertainment.

“That’s enough, van Dyke”

Hope’s red-headed prison mommy commanded in a mix of a German and American accent, gleefully putting emphasis on the uncreative nickname she’d given her. Although she looked no older than twenty-six, she was none other than Sinthea “Sin” Schmidt, “daughter” of the Red Skull and rightful leader of HYDRA.

Sin raised her hand up to admire Hope’s work. Her nails looked as if they’d been dipped in gore — a look which she sought. “These are good enough. You can rest…for now” she smirked.

Hope didn’t need any other prompting to scramble to her “bed” (a spot on the dirty floor with a blanket and a pillow) and try to catch any rest that she could. Usually her day consisted of nonstop work until lights out where she might be able to catch a few hours of sleep. Any break where she could get the smallest fragment of extra sleep was a welcome one.

The cell door opened. “Look at the bitch, she must be so tired from doing your nails. Life is just so hard for her” a voice with a Hungarian crispness that belonged to Ophelia Sarkissian laughed as she entered. Ophelia, better known by the name “Viper”, was a high ranking terrorist loyal to HYDRA. She was Sin’s right-hand-woman, a person so vile that she could only naturally fit as her partner in crime. That’s why she was just now returning from confirming the validity of a rumour Sin was more than invested in.

Sin chuckled though didn’t linger on the topic. Far more pressing things were on her mind today than taunting her toy. “So is it true that Carol Danvers is down an eye?”

“Yes, ma’am. Saw Carol myself and she looks a fucking mess. Someone took it right out” Viper reported dutifully.

“Pity it wasn’t us who did it. Such a waste of good Aryan genes” Sin said, reaching the absolute zenith of any possible empathy the Nazi leader could possibly ever muster. She had a rather bizarre hatred of Captain Marvel due to an expectation that because she was white, blonde, and blue-eyed that she deep down would ally with their disgusting cause.

Viper took a seat on the singular metal chair that sat in their cell and unzipped her jumpsuit. She then reached her hand down and pulled a shiv from her underwear and she quietly began sharpening it against the edge of the sink.

“Any news on who did it to her?” Sin asked eagerly.

“The rumours are that it was the Sisterhood or Queenpins, but they’re just that: rumours.”

Sin blew on her fingertips in an attempt to get them to dry faster. “The Queenpins? Really? Even a kike like Vanessa Fisk isn’t stupid enough to make a move on Captain Marvel.”

Viper nodded but didn’t look up from the plastic tip of her blade as it slowly grew more and more jagged. “Which, if the rumours are true, leaves the muties”

“Now that I could see. Carol did punch Jean’s slav bitch yesterday. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to get back at them. Jean’s a psycho” Sin either lacked self-awareness, or she was so self-aware that she could spot psychopathy in others.

“Could it have been the slav bitch who did it? Everyone knows Wanda is almost as unstable as her mistress” Viper asked.

As the conversation continued, Hope had fallen fast asleep in her corner. The ridiculously hate filled discourse kept her up when she first arrived, but she’d gained the ability to just tune it out by now. It was disturbing just how used to hearing it all she was.

Sin grew tenser as the conversation seemed to turn more and more to Wanda. Did she bring it up? Yes. Regardless, much like her feelings towards Carol Danvers, she had a zealous fury for Wanda Maximoff because she saw her as a traitor. In this case though it was a far more direct form of treason. Wanda had once been a member of Hydra and yet she dared to turn her back on them and join the Avengers.

“I wouldn’t be surprised, but for once I can say the mutant biological tendency towards violence works out for us. With Carol out, there’s a power vacuum. If you make God bleed, people cease believing in Him. What happens to the ‘mighty’ Captain Marvel when you show everyone she can be beaten out of an eye?”

“They catch her in the shower and she ends up at the end of a dozen shivs. Blood is in the water and now the sharks come to feast.” Viper replied, waving her weapon for emphasis.

“With Carol dead, dear old Natasha loses a valuable ally. Sure she still has Loki the tranny queen of the Asgardians and the blacks in the Panthers for now, but they’re all on the verge of war. Whether it was the Queenpins, the Sisterhood, The Ten Rings, or the fucking Daughters of Hel who attacked Carol it doesn’t matter”

“So we let them tear each other apart?” Viper asked.

“Yes and then I will rise again as queen of The Raft” Sin proclaimed. She had five-hundred life sentences; she could afford to be patient.

There was a knock at the bars and Viper stood to respond. Beyond the bars stood a badly bruised looking Karli Morganthau, accompanied by a fit but petite woman with white and pink hair and a much larger butch looking convict. The former was Songbird, a villain with the ability to create supersonic sounds, and the latter was Angel Dust, a legally distinct mutate (not to be confused with filthy mutant kin) who fell down the far-right rabbit hole and ended up an enforcer for Hydra.

“Finally! What the fuck took them so long?!” Sin exclaimed. “Let them in” she’d been waiting quite awhile for this.

Viper did as told and opened the unlocked door. The three visitors entered, Karli looked absolutely terrified as the butch woman shoved her along. She already knew what this was regarding, she’d known there would be repercussions ever since she lost the fight with Jessica Jones in the showers. She’d tried to make it straight back to her cell after work, but she was grabbed and dragged away almost immediately.

Sin wolfishly smiled at Karli. “So want to explain what happened in the showers”

Karli stammered before firing off at the mouth: “It’s not my fault! She was so much stronger than she looked! I-I didn’t know! You have to believe me! I-I’m not weak!”

Sin only laughed. “Aww could the poor wittle super-soldier not beat up an emaciated goth girl?”

Karli gulped. “B-But she had powers! She caught me by surprise-“

“Sure that’s why!” Viper interjected, joining in the mockery of her. She hated seeing such weak women.

“You were supposed to be the one to claim our pick of slave from the new fish, but you couldn’t even do that. Oh Karli, what am I going to do with you?” A chill ran down Karli’s spine as Sin pondered aloud. “I could claim you here and now in her stead…but I’m in a good mood today. I’m not going to punish you”
Karli exhaled in relief and quickly reached to express her intense gratitude…only for Sin to add:
“I’m not going to punish you, but I can’t just let this go undelt with. I’m demoting you”

HYDRA was the only straight gang in all of The Raft…which meant they were the one with the most inherently built-in system of lesbian domination but claimed it didn’t count. Every rank in the gang’s hierarchy was subservient to the ones above them, only able to prove their loyalty through hazing acts that definitely weren’t sexual at all. Karli was already on one of the lowest ranks possible and this incident would only make things worse for her. The ritual for the beginning of any member was pleasuring the girls above her (literally). A ritual Karli would have to repeat.

Karli yelled in protest as Angel Dust came up behind her and wrapped her muscular arm around her, slipping her hand towards the zipper and bringing it down with a violent tug. The orange cloth opened wide so that Karli was giving Sin a good look at her tattooed body. All the inked up skulls and swastikas in the world wouldn’t have been enough to help her get out of this.

Hope was naturally stirred by the struggle and wished to stay out of things as Karli was stripped naked and forced into a more suitable position. ‘Better her than me’ she guiltlessly thought to herself, having been in Karli’s position several times before but also nowhere near as deserving of it.

Karli’s eyes went wide in abject terror, fixed on Sin’s wet and messy brunette bush that betrayed the authenticity of her red hair, as she stepped forwards and straddled her freckled face. The long untamed hair felt repulsively thick and moist in her mouth but she obeyed in lapping away, fearing what might happen if she didn’t do as told. The feeling made her want to gag, but she didn’t have to focus on it for long as Viper’s bare sweaty body wrapped against her like some awful constricting serpent. It made Karli writhe in discomfort as she felt Viper’s breasts heaving steadily up and down against her back, hardened nipples practically ready to cut through skin.

Hope yawned and emotionlessly laid back down as Songbird came up besides Karli and planted a kiss on her cheek only to then trace her way down her face with her tongue. Songbird’s breath was hot and reeked of cigarettes.

Karli began to tear up, but they were lost in Sin’s overwhelming ecstatic release onto her face, wetness dripping from her sex down Karli’s lips. Songbird had taken to caressing Karli’s curly red hair in one hand while the other was buried between her own thighs, working vigorously to replicate the orgasm Sin had just had.

Viper’s tattooed arms nestled beneath Karli’s unshaven armpit and she found her hands drawn to her perky chest. Karli let out a little yelp as her nipples were pinched but that, much like her stream of tears, was lost in a cacophony of moans.

Angel Dust had stood back watching far too long. She needed to join in on this too. Bringing her massive fist against the pucker of Karli’s bum, she pushed two fingers up behind her. It hurt more than Karli had remembered it had when she first joined HYDRA. Her whole body shook as Angel Dust pushed deeper and deeper, all while taunting her. It was at this moment that Karli regretted having become a terrorist. But the remorse wouldn’t last. She really only regretted getting caught.

Hope would almost have felt bad for Karli as she watched, but then she remembered that Karli had enjoyed benefiting from this exact same “hazing ritual” numerous times before. Karli only hated it now because she was the one on the receiving end of things. Hope found it funny how as all of this was happening not a single one of them would have deemed this gay. The women of HYDRA hated “dykes” and so naturally they could never do anything close to that. There was nothing sapphic about having an all-female orgy apparently.

What surely must have been an hour passed before things finally settled and the room of awful women (and Hope) settled down in an afterglow stupor. Sin was laying back on her bed, Viper was smoking while back in her seat, Angel Dust was using Hope as a pillow, and Songbird reclined against the bars with Karli sitting traumatised in a corner.

Sin laid eyes on Karli once again and decreed:

“Anyone who gets me the girl Karli couldn’t defeat in the showers will be rewarded”
It seemed that Jessica Jones would get what was coming for her sooner or later.

—————————————————————

Jessica’s vibranium shackles cut into her ankles as she miserably staggered along the line of weary inmates being escorted out of the mines. The work would have been too much even with her powers, but without them she wanted to lie down right where she stood and die. She couldn’t imagine doing that same job every day for the rest of her days. Her arms ached like never before and already she internally debated the merits of another shower (if she was allowed to choose of course).

A long walk later, the prisoners were guided back to the main section of The Raft where Jessica was surprised to hear they now could walk about the inmate-designated zones freely. Honestly she just wanted to go back to her cell and go to sleep, or preferably have a drink (but that wasn't really an option). The only issue was that her adopted sister would probably be there as well and that wasn’t an uncomfortable dynamic she had enough energy to face at the moment. After weighing the situation carefully, Jessica resolved to go the yard and try and find a quiet corner where she didn’t have to engage in socialising with anyone.

The yard was annoyingly filled with what felt like half the prison population with no more than a few benches to sit at and guards patrolling above keenly watching everyone at all times. Jessica sighed as she looked at her limited number of options of places to rest. Everyone was either sitting at the benches talking, stretching, playing games, or doing things that probably would have been best to do in private. She shook her head in annoyance and just walked over to the right corner of the yard and sat down on the ground, tilting her head back against the steel wall and closing her eyes.

In her silence the weight of her situation bore down on her thoughts. In just the last few days she’d been arrested, sentenced to an indefinite stay in a prison for the most dangerous enhanced individuals, been groped by a guard, reunited with her sister who probably hated her (Jessica couldn't help but feel quite the same way about herself in all fairness), been groped again but in the showers, and then she’d been forced to mine vibranium.

The sound of footsteps approaching and then someone sliding down to sit beside her took Jessica out of her thoughts. Her eyes blinked open and she looked right into Trish’s face.
“Fuck my life” Jessica cursed to herself. Was part of her sentence the inability to have a single moment to herself?

“I think you already did that yourself. And mine, for that matter.” Trish mumbled, a smirk playing at her lips. Her eyes were red and she appeared calmer than yesterday. Jessica could immediately tell that her sister was high as fuck.

Jessica looked at her flatly and asked in an annoyed tone: “Did you just come by to guilt me again? What do you want?”

A very brief look of hurt flashed over Trish’s face, quickly replaced by the same indifference as before. “I don’t know. Just…wanted to sit here.”

“Ok..” Jessica relented out of an unwillingness to engage with anyone. There was an uncomfortable silence hanging over both of them until Jessica abruptly asked in a disappointed tone: “So you’re dealing drugs?”

Trish snorted. “No, I’m a model citizen. I only hand out candy.”

Jessica was mildly amused by her sister’s wit, not that she showed it though. As a certified depressive alcoholic with anger issues, she didn’t really judge people over most things. She was just disappointed to hear Trish was involved in that sort of thing now and the knowledge that it was her own fault weighed on her.

“I don’t need you to judge me.” Trish spat as Jessica didn’t respond.

“I’m not. I just hoped things were going better for you in here” Jessica corrected.

Trish rolled her eyes. “What did you expect? For me to have a desk job and a loving husband and some kids?”

“I don’t know what I expected…just not that” Jessica sighed. “You’re high right now, right?”

Trish blew a puff of air out from between her lips in a wicked grin. “Why do you care?”

“I don’t. I was…I just noticed is all” Jessica lied. Switching the topics just slightly, “You’d think a super-prison would have tighter control over drug flow”

“Have you ever watched a TV show?” Trish asked. “It’s worse.”

“I've seen three drug trades today, two happening in this yard, and I was assaulted in the showers. I’m starting to think the budget wasn’t spent on good security” Jessica dryly quipped. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to ask for more details on Trish’s new job and how it worked but ventured a question before she could think it out. “So are guards ever an issue for your…operation?”

“The guards are my biggest customers. It’s the only thing to help them deal with this shit job.” Trish shrugged. “I don’t think anyone cares what happens to us in here if it affects them positively.”

“I’m shocked” Jessica said sarcastically. “Look, if you’re going to sit here you don’t happen to have anything I could drink, do you?” she asked only half-jokingly. She was already struggling without something to dull her emotions and the idea that her sister could have something for her was making her hopeful.

A dark expression replaced Trish’s neutral one. “Already giving in?” She scratched the side of her face and then dug into the front of her jumpsuit. A small bottle of vodka, one people would take on planes, appeared in her hand. It was incredibly valuable in a place where the best alternative was called “toilet wine”. Before Jessica could grab it, Trish pulled back, smiling. “It’s not free.”

Jessica’s stare was more than enough to convey the irritation bubbling inside. “Of course not” she replied. “What do you want?” she asked hurriedly.

“A favour.” Trish replied vaguely. “When I need it.”

Jessica hesitated. “What kind of favour?”

“You’ll find out when you find out.” Trish smirked. She loved having some semblance of control over her sister, something she felt like had never had.

Jessica, for her part, had always felt the exact opposite. Being adopted, it was always clear who held the power in their dynamic. Knowing she’d regret her decision soon enough, Jessica complied to her urges with a bitter “Fine”

Trish handed the small bottle of alcohol to Jessica and got up. Jessica soon had the feeling that this was what Trish had come for in the first place, but she quickly downed the bottle and forgot all about that feeling, along with all of the other feelings she had about her new environment.

—————————————————————

When all the activities of the day had ended, it was time for everyone to return to their cells at last. Kate had worked hard in the mines, trying her best to stay out of everyone’s way. She was exhausted from the lack of sleep, and the worst part was that tonight she would again be sharing her cell with Death herself. Kate’s whole body shook as she entered the hallway to her cell, feeling certain within she wouldn’t last another night.

Kate kept her head down as she neared the cell, terrified to look up at her cellmate wrong and risking being stabbed. Fearfully, she gripped the unlocked bars of the cell door and swung it open before anxiously stepping inside. The air itself seemed to run cold before the Goddess of Death.

“So you’re finally back. I almost was worried you’d killed yourself to avoid coming back to me” Hela remarked, making Kate jump. The Archer hastily looked up, accidentally breaking her own resolve to not look, and found that Hela sat naked atop the bed, posed with the regality expected from a Norse Goddess. Her long oily black hair cascaded down her body, just barely covering her chest.

Kate wanted to immediately turn around and run out of the cell, but the door had been shut tightly behind her. “O-Oh.” She softly exclaimed.

“What?” Hela asked nonchalantly, flipping her long dark hair back to expose her body in full. She knew what made Kate so uncomfortable, but she wanted the mortal to say it.

“Why are you naked?” Kate stuttered. Why did she always end up in these kinds of situations?

“Because you have a task to fulfil, thrall. Did you think I would allow you to share a cell with me without some form of repayment?”

“I’m pretty sure this isn’t like your property.” Kate countered. “I have the same rights as you.”

“Do you now?” Hela threateningly asked. “You belong to me and will do whatever I desire, unless you’d prefer to end your sentence early…”

Kate raised her eyebrow. “Okay, but I’m not like a couch that belongs to you. I’m a person.” She was not even that scared anymore, with the lady sitting literally naked in front of her. She calmed herself by foolishly believing that If she moved fast enough she could win in a fight against a literal goddess.

Hela’s brilliantly green eyes stared Kate down, the goddess was both amused by the gall to defy her and ready to kill her. She rose to her feet and reached for the girl’s throat.

Kate yelped and tried to fight Hela off, but realised she was naked and really didn’t want to touch her there. She flailed her arms in the air as Hela’s grip closed on her windpipe.

Hela cooed as she pressed her bare body up close against Kate, tilting her victim’s head back until it rested hard against the bars. Her mad eyes met with Kate’s, revealing nothing but malice within. “What was that about not belonging to me?”

Kate let out a choked breath, her hands now fully pushing against Hela’s naked chest and shoulders.

Hela seemed to find the sensation exhilarating as she drew in a slow breath. “I could kill you now…” Her grip around her throat only seemed to tighten the more Kate struggled. Kate dug her nails into Hela’s skin, clawing at her helplessly.
“...But I find you adorable so I’ll spare your defiance and give you a second chance. Consider this an act of my mercy” Hela grinned as she released her hold of Kate.

Kate fell to the ground and breathed in, wheezing and coughing.

Hela returned to the bed, sitting with her legs spread wide. “Now then, undress and then kneel before your Queen”

Kate’s eyes bulged as she was still catching her breath. Her hands were shaking. “No.” She whispered.

“Did we not just address what happens to you if you don’t? You really do prove how stupid Midgardians are” Hela sighed. “Let me make this clear, you do as I say or I thrash your head against the bars until you come out the other side. You will obey me”

Kate swallowed heavily despite how much it hurt. She didn’t want to do this, but she also didn’t plan on dying today. Her hands carefully started unzipping the jumpsuit she was wearing, her eyes never leaving Hela’s. She stopped when she heard footsteps.

Officer Weaver approached from down the hall, her dark brown hair was wildly unkempt and her guard uniform evidently was put on quite hastily. Someone had given her quite a good time.
As Kate’s hands hovered in the air, close to the zipper of her clothes, the cell door opened behind her. “Hate to break up whatever is happening here, but looks like you were assigned the wrong cell, inmate. Come on”

Kate and Hela both froze, looking like two spooked birds. “What?” They asked in unison, Kate fearfully and Hela in a wrath.

“Well are you coming, or do you like being locked up with her?” Weaver teased, flippantly pointing at the rapidly infuriated, and still naked Hela.

“Uhm, I’m coming!” Kate said hastily, gathering her small amount of possessions and hurriedly following the guard. Weaver slammed the cell door shut and locked it just before Hela thrust her bare body against the bars and said bitterly, “Don’t think this will absolve you of your oath to me! You will be mine” as Kate was led away. Kate waved goodbye at her shakily as they turned the corner.

Kate was led out of the cellblock entirely and taken to an adjoining one, although not that much differentiated it. All the cellblocks looked like uncomfortably long hallways lined with cells. This time Kate would be going up stairs to reach her cell, which would hopefully have someone less…violent.

The guard opened the door and waved Kate inside, before locking it behind her.

Kate was greeted with what seemed like a bigger room than she expected, almost bigger than her bedroom back home. Was it actually bigger than Hela’s? No, but this space seemed far less confining. At a quick glance, there was some rather random furnishing scattered about. Books, cigarettes, posters. In comparison to Hela’s drab mausoleum, Kate briefly wondered if the guard had accidentally taken her into the staff room, but the room still looked unfortunate enough for that not to be the case. Kate’s eyes zeroed in on her cellmate, feeling nervous for only a heartbeat before her eyes met Yelena’s familiar green ones.

“Hi” Yelena said, looking nervous for some reason. She motioned to the room, feeling embarrassed about the mess. “Sorry it’s not as clean, we had to arrange this quickly so I didn’t have much time to-”

Her blubbering apology was interrupted as Kate launched herself at Yelena, wrapping her arms around the assassin and sobbing into her shoulder. “Are you okay?” She asked instead, awkwardly rubbing Kate’s back. She felt a flutter inside her stomach, knowing that Kate was okay and not mad at her and actually felt safe enough with her to seek comfort with her.
Kate sniffled loudly and seemed to suddenly realise their closeness, breaking away from the hug and rubbing her nose awkwardly. “Yeah, I’m okay.”

Yelena’s eyebrows rose and she let out a chuckle. “Okay, sure. Do you want some tea? Please sit down. The top bunk’s mine, so you can have the bottom one.”

Kate looked at the bed and noticed that the usual bedding that all the prison beds had was covered up with a knitted blanket, one that looked clearly self-made and used which meant that Yelena had given the blanket to her to use instead of using it for her own bed. The gesture made her want to cry again so she nodded and sat down, taking the blanket over her knees.

“Tea” (a tea bag put into a room temperature styrofoam cup of water) was quickly served to both of them and Yelena stood looking down at Kate, who still looked upset and kind of small under the blanket that Natasha had knitted for her months ago. “Will you tell me what happened?” She said somewhat impatiently to her new roommate.

“The same things again, I guess.” Kate said, vaguely. She did not want to discuss what she had almost done with Hela. She had no experience with anything like this, in fact, no experience at all, so that being her first possible sexual experience had made her extremely uncomfortable.
“Okay. Did she hurt you?” Yelena said, wanting to make sure that killing a god was not on her to-do list for tomorrow.

“She tried to choke me.” Kate whispered. “And…other things.” Her eyes diverted.

“We can have you visit the nurse tomorrow, if you want.” Now that Kate had mentioned it, her throat did look rather red and swollen.

“No, it’s fine. I’ll live.” Kate played with the cup in her hands awkwardly.

Yelena felt the same awkwardness and bit her lip. “I hope the bed is comfortable enough for you.”

Kate’s eyes widened and she nodded. “Of course. I mean, I’m so confused! What a coincidence that we got roomed together. They told me the first was a mistake.”

Yelena awkwardly rubbed her neck.”I mean…it wasn’t really a coincidence.”

“What do you mean?”

The assassin sighed and sat down on a chair, crossing her legs. “Well, I saw you struggling and didn’t think you would make the night. So I pulled some strings and had you transferred here. I think I’m a lot less likely to kill you in your sleep.” Knowing their history, Yelena hoped Kate knew she was joking.

“But…why would you do that?” Kate blinked. “Why do you care what happens to me?”
Yelena let out a sigh and smiled. “Well, I guess you could call it a favour. I felt like I owed you one.” It wasn’t completely untrue.

Kate took a minute to let the truth settle in and sipped her tea. “I didn’t know you had that kind of power here.”

“Well, not necessarily me, but my sister does. She arranged this for you.” Yelena admitted.
“Something I’m sure we will need to work for when the time comes. But she is fair. Not like the others here.”

Kate blinked. Natasha Romanoff had saved her life? “Tell her thanks for me.”

“You can tell her yourself, tomorrow.” Yelena smiled at the thought of her sister interacting with Kate again. “For now, you need to rest. I will stay awake for a couple of hours to make sure no one hurts us or comes in, okay? You’re safe.”

Kate nodded tearily and finished her tea. She had no idea how to thank Yelena or Natasha, but she would try very hard to repay the debt. She shuffled underneath both blankets, feeling so much more comfortable than before, and quickly fell asleep, without even saying goodnight.

Yelena sat in the chair opposite Kate’s bed for hours, looking at the sleeping girl's features and feeling an immense sense of relief that she was safe.

Chapter 13: #Blessed

Chapter Text

Titania had never worked a proper job in her life, at least not one that required any physical work. Sure there had been her modeling for her own line of beauty products, but that was a far cry from having to take a tool in hand and physically exert herself in any capacity.Truthfully, that kind of task was beneath her. It was for the little people. Although she wouldn’t have worded it that way in fear of being cancelled, she certainly believed it deep down. So when the guards shackled her, led her down a deep dark tunnel of the mine, and gave her a pickaxe she was absolutely repulsed. She quickly had given them a piece of her mind on the matter…which was met with a very hard hit to the rear using a baton. The first of many physical disciplines she’d receive for her own uncontrollably entitled behavior. 


With work now complete, Titania found herself aghast at her current state. Her jumpsuit was covered in grime and sweat, her arms ached, and (worst of all) her long flowing hair barely cascaded down her shoulders. This was a complete nightmare! She could hardly stand to be seen in her current state, even if the only ones who’d see her were fellow prisoners. When she learned it was now free time, she jumped at the opportunity to go to her cell for the first time. She couldn’t believe how that seemed far better than any alternative.

Titania staggered through the doorway of her cell, annoyed at how little privacy the bars allotted. She still was waiting for approval on her request to speak with the warden. Although she was ready to faint (she wasn’t actually, but she never passed up an opportunity to be a drama queen) she took pause when she noticed there was someone else in her cell. The face of who it was hadn’t even registered before she turned to the nearest guard and complained: “Really, you expect me to share this room with…” and then that’s when it clicked. She turned to get a second glance. She was bunked with world famous mutant pop-star, Dazzler (who looked suspiciously like Taylor Swift).

 

A slow rising cloud of smoke filled their small enclosed space, sourced from Dazzler’s mouth. She held a cigarette shaped object in her hand delicately, but the amount of smoke and the smell immediately betrayed that this was not a normal cigarette.

 

“Oh. My. God.” Titania was far too starstruck to properly notice. “You’re Dazzler!” she exclaimed excitedly. Her adoration was surprising considering she’d partaken in publicly gossiping about Dazzler more than once. 

 

“A fan? Surprising.” Dazzler said, not sounding surprised at all. “You’re my new roomie?” She offered Titania the joint. “Come sit.”

 

Titania did as told without objection for the first time since arriving at The Raft. “I’m in prison smoking a joint with my cellmate Dazzler” she spelled out her situation in a state of pure shock at the absurdity. How was she this lucky? #Blessed. 

 

“What’s your name?” Dazzler asked. Her voice was somewhat sing-songy and to Titania’s surprise their cell briefly flickered with small lights, like fireflies had appeared for only a brief moment. 

 

Titania was primarily taken aback  in amazement, but that fell to second place to offence when asked who she was. “You don’t know who I am?” She asked in a clearly insulted tone, distraught to hear the only other real celebrity in her new home didn’t know her name. It didn’t matter that Titania wasn’t quite as famous as she believed. 

“It must have slipped my mind.” Dazzler simply stated. Her eyes were glazy and she let out a soft giggle. “Sorry.” 

 

Titania would have stressed this topic infinitum if her cellmate was literally anyone else, but with Dazzler she was ok with dropping the topic and taking a drag out of the joint. “Mary MacPharren, but you can call me Titania” she introduced herself. 

 

“Cool name.” The other simply nodded. “My name’s Alison.” She took a deep breath, which made small lights reappear. She seemed to be enamoured by them herself, taking a moment and smiled. 

 

“Not me being on a first name basis with my BFF Alison!” Titania’s enthusiasm about someone that wasn’t herself was bordering uncharacteristic. Her eyes watched as the lights around them flickered and danced in the enclosed space, swirling in ethereal motions that were almost breathtaking. 

“What are you in for?” Alison/Dazzler asked vaguely, taking back the blunt from her new cellmate and taking a long drag.

 

“I threw a desk at the jury, but like it TOTALLY wasn’t my fault. I was like framed” Titania replied while staring far too intently at Alison. 

 

Dazzler’s face turned philosophical. “What did the jury do for you to have to throw a desk? That’s a little bit of an overreaction don’t you think?”

 

“Well they said my beauty products were using some super toxic ingredients, which just so isn’t true!” Titania had no idea just how absurd her over-reaction was. 

 

“Alright, calm down.” Dazzler whispered, already annoyed with Titania’s dramatics. “Let’s take a breath.”

 

“Yes you’re totally right. I’ll take a breath” Titania nodded while doing as instructed. Now would have been a natural place to ask what Dazzler was in for in return, but Titania couldn’t talk about anyone that wasn’t herself. Besides, everyone knew about Dazzler’s arrest. The concert incident that left thirty dead was more than highly publicised.  

 

“Crazy place, this is.” Dazzler said after a while. “I wish we could just…leave. I miss the fresh air.” 

 

“Yeah but like you have a life sentence for killing all those people” Titania’s attempt at helping no doubt was useless. 

 

“What if I die in this life and then use another life to live. Like a cat. That would mean my life sentence is over, right?” Dazzler countered, speaking as if she was making perfect sense. 

 

Titania looked puzzled by Dazzler’s weed-induced poetic musings, but nodded along as if it were the wisest words she’d ever heard. “Wait yeah that totally makes sense! Like that should count”

 

“Maybe killing someone else will give me an extra life. And then I have finished my life sentence.” Dazzler mused, leaning back against the wall and her legs dangling over the side of the bed. 

 

“It’s not like they can sentence you to life twice” Titania shrugged, not actually knowing the answer. “They can’t do that, can they?”

 

Suddenly changing the subject, Dazzler puffed out a smoke cloud. “Have you ever played Monopoly? I really want to play Monopoly right now.”

 

Titania hated all board games. Anything that wasn’t digital was nerd shit, but she wasn’t going to tell Dazzler that. “I like LOVE that game! Yes I 100% wanna play with you, queen” It was only after she finished speaking that she realised it was going to be difficult to explain how she didn’t know how to play Monopoly. 

 

Dazzler scoffed. “Damn guards won’t replace the game. Someone broke it and they threw it away. “ She looked genuinely upset, as if she had lost something really important to her. It was also noticeable now that she had a slight southern accent, something barely anyone knew.

 

Titania exhaled in relief. “Oh thank God- I mean that really sucks” she corrected herself. 

 

“Will you please convince the guards to get a new game?” Dazzler asked, not realising Titania was not only new but had already pissed off about everyone in the prison on her first day. “I’m sure you are very influential.”

 

“Sure. I can do that” Titania said without pause, rising and relaxing the bars of the cell so she could speak with the first passing guard. The guard hadn’t quite even reached the door of their cell when Titania snobbily requested: “Hey guard, yeah me and my friend want a board game. I’d be really grateful if you could go and get us one. Thanks”

 

The guard laughed. “Yeah I’m not getting you anything, bitch. Now step away from the bars before I cuff you to ‘em”

 

Titania scoffed. “How dare you?! I-” she expected a verbal dance back and forth with the guard so she was taken aback when they just grabbed her hand and did exactly as warned: cuffed her in place and then walked off. “You can’t be serious!” she yelled, turning back to repeat it to Dazzler too. She was extremely lucky that she was in a cell with Dazzler and not someone who would take advantage of her newfound vulnerable position. 

 

Dazzler sat watching from the bed, the joint still burning in her hand and slowly filling the room with smoke. “So I guess no board games?” She giggled at the sight of Titania cuffed to the bars.

 

The bars felt cold as Titania rested her head against them in annoyance. “No, she wouldn’t get us the board game” she said irritably. “This is your fault! Why am I being punished?”

 

“I didn’t even move from this bed, how can it be my fault?”

 

“You’re the one who told me to ask a guard!”


Dazzler’s giggle filled the room and echoed off the walls.




Chapter 14: Incompetent Heroines - Part 1

Summary:

Enter the most confusing heroines (?) of the MCU

Chapter Text

Cassandra “Cassie” Webb, aka Madame Web, looked down in horror at the scene below the factory roof she was supervising from. What was supposed to be the grand debut of the Spiderwomen (Or the Spider-Girls. Or the Arachnachicks, they never agreed on a name) as New-York's latest superhero team, by catching a manager at the local Pepsi cannery in the act of wage-theft from his employees (Not the most glamorous of crimes, but she was limited to what her psychic powers randomly detected), had turned into a complete disaster when her three teammates went to confront the guy, somehow resulting in an explosion inside the factory, and a neon sign falling off the roof. With an awful groan of the metal it had come crashing down and it landed on top of a man out for a morning stroll.

"Oh shit...oh shit…oh shit” was all Cassie could say as she stared at the rubble that was left of the sign. The man was beneath it all…somewhere. Her three fellow amateur heroes joined her, looking as freaked out as her. There was a solemn pause of pure silence atop the rooftop as the heroes stared in disbelief.

The sight of three women in what looked like mediocre knock-off Spider-Man costumes and then Cassie, dressed in what can only be described as a silver see-through web-patterned dress with nude coloured undergarments underneath that honestly made it look like she was naked, was bizarre.

Julia Carpenter, aka Spider-Woman, was the first to break the silence as she asked aloud in shock: “What do we do?!”

“Run?" Maggie Franklin, aka Spider-Girl, suggested. "I say run."

Anya Corazón, aka Araña, slowly turned to Maggie as she tried to process what had happened. Words coming out before her brain could catch up, she suggested: “Run? But maybe he’s still alive…”

Unfortunately, as if the Universe itself needed to prove her wrong, the lights of the massive Pepsi sign began to flicker and jolt and then burst in little fireworks before falling dark. Turns out the exposed wires made contact with the recently wet ground and if the sign somehow hadn’t done the man in, he was definitely electrocuted to death now.

Cassie paused for a moment, looking off at who knows where, as she had a close-up vision of the man's electrification seconds before it happened.

"Uh...okay...we probably should go..." she said, finding it difficult to be decisive under pressure.

“Where do we go?!” Julia asked in a panic. The longer they stood

on the roof the more witnesses noticed the very obvious brightly coloured superheroes standing at the scene of the crime.

"Away from here!" Mattie insisted. "Julia, carry Cassie..." she completely forget to use codenames in the fray.

Anya snapped out of her terror long enough to begin to formulate a plan. “Ok we just need to find somewhere to lie low for a bit. We can do that…” she didn’t sound sure in her assurances. “…We just swing back to the apartment and return to our normal lives and never put these costumes on again…No one will know it was us”

Mattie ran to the roof’s edge to try and swing away from the crime-scene. Throwing her hand out with a *thwip*, a singular weak strand of webbing shot out and immediately snapped before a liquified sticky web-fluid, which should have bonded into a strong cord, slowly started fizzling out. Anya’s concoction didn’t seem to work quite as well as a certain more famous spider themed New York hero’s.

Mattie looked down at her fizzled webshooters, and threw an accusatory look at Anya. "I guess we crawl down the walls?" She suggested and promptly began doing just that, making painfully slow progress as she left her three allies.

"What about me?!" Cassie asked, increasingly terrified by the entirely foreseeable consequences of amateur vigilantism.

Julia attempted to shoot out a web but it worked out as well as it did for Mattie. “Well uh…” she paused to frantically look for a possible way off the roof. “…We can take the stairs!”

"Okay...Okay..." Cassie said, breathing heavily and rushing for the fire escape as fast as her ridiculous heels would allow, making loud clacking noises with each hurried step.

“Cassie, hurry up!” Julia whined at her painfully slow companion.

“I know…I’m trying!” Cassie took another step before sighing and stopping where she stood. She bent over and began trying to take off her shoes for the sake of speed.

“We *really* need to hurry” Anya peered down to see a cop car already outside the building. She assumed it had just arrived but then no one seemed to get out of the vehicle.

Cassie’s shoes finally came undone and she raised them in her hands just in time for a woman’s voice to yell “NYPD, STOP WHERE YOU ARE!!! Hands where I can see them! All of you!

A lone officer emerged up the fire escape. It turns out the four women had wasted a long time debating what to do and the cop car had already been there awhile by the time Anya noticed.

Anya immediately shouted: “We didn’t do it!” as she raised her hands in the air at the same time as Julia.

Cassie was still bent over looking at her feet in somewhat sweet relief at the heels being off when the officer startled her back to attention as she ordered “Drop the high heels!”

Cassie immediately retorted: “But they’re expensive!”

Entirely unwilling to play around with three potentially dangerous super-humans, the officer replied “Drop the shoes before I’m forced to tase you

"Ugh...damn it." Was all Cassie could say as she crouched down to put the shoes down.

The officer nodded and then spoke into her radio: “Found them. Two women in knockoff Spider-Man costumes and one wearing a see-through web dress” before talking to the criminals again “You two, stand next to your friend and then turn around and put your hands behind your back”

Julia and Cassie complied, stepping besides Anya and assuming the position. As cold metal cuffs clicked around her wrists, Julia asked Cassie: “Your visions didn’t tell you about us getting arrested?”

"It doesn't work like that." Cassie gave her usual disclaimer.

 

Meanwhile, Mattie was half way down the wall, continuing to crawl down, absurdly hoping she hadn’t yet been noticed. But of course, Mattie has been noticed by basically everyone because a woman in a bright superhero outfit climbing down the side of a building in the middle of New York City kinda draws just a little bit of attention. It wasn’t until she reached the bottom and was standing on the sidewalk that she finally noticed the cop impatiently waiting. Deciding to try and bluff it, Mattie did her best to try and sound innocent as she asked: “Is there a problem, officer?"

“Oh I don’t know, maybe the massive sign that fell over? Hands where I can see them, now!” The officer said unamused.

Mattie raised her hands in surrender. "I'd like a lawyer, please."

The cop pinned her against the wall and handcuffed her hands behind her back. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.”

Mattie was led back over to the car where she was leaned over the hood and forced to wait.

The flash of cameras all around from the assembled crowd stunned her, the voices of livestreams a mass blur of sound.

“Great..." Mattie muttered, looking down. “This is going to be all over TikTok, and we're going to be a joke.”

 

Luckily for Mattie, the attention turned away from her as Cassie, Anya, and Julia were led out of the building. The paparazzi seemed to especially take notice of Cassie. There was a mixture of surprise, excitement, and genuine bewilderment at the practicality of her superhero “costume”.

Overhearing the crowd's reaction to her dress, Cassie decided she needed to say something. "I-it's symbolic..." she tried to explain. "It's see through because...my power is...it's like time, it's see-through because..." she explained it very poorly I should add.

"Um...could you at least pick up my shoes? They're really expensive and I don't technically own them yet..."Mattie heard Cassie plead as she was leaned besides her against the car. Her arresting officer didn’t care to respond to the request.

“I can’t believe we’re going to jail…” was all Anya could say. Spoiler alert, they’d be going to a place much worse than jail.

"It's okay...it's okay...we won't be in that much trouble...trespassing is all they can really prove, right?" Mattie tried to convince herself more than Anya.

“Yeah we’ll be ok, right? How can they know it was us?” Julia asked, not helping them look any more uninvolved.

"Know what was us?" Mattie tried unsuccessfully to sound nonchalant.

Julia entirely missed the nature of the question as she replied: “The factory accident and the sign falling on that person”

If Cassie, Mattie, and Anya hadn’t been handcuffed they would have all facepalmed.

The aghast and (admittedly pervy) crowd continued to film the four women leaned over the hood of the car. The bent over Cassie, in her see-through “it’s like time” dress, especially garnered attention. The TikTok clip of Julia accidentally admitting to the crime would quickly become one of many memes and audio clips spawned from this unfortunate foray into vigilantism, Anya saying “I think we’re going to jail…” perfectly summed up the whole ordeal in edits, and who could forget Mattie trying to bluff her way out of being arrested.

After about half an hour in that humiliating position, and lewd appraisals of their bodies being shouted at the spider-women, a Stark Industries sky-taxi with the SWORD insignia and the words "PRISONER TRANSPORT" written on the side landed on the road and the Arachnachicks/Spiderwomen/Spider-Girls/They-Seriously-Need-To-Come-Up-With-A-Name were escorted aboard.

Anya looked ahead at the sky-taxi in fear. “SWORD? Where are they taking us?” She asked just before a SWORD agent gave her a shove in the right direction.

"Nowhere good..." Cassie said as her vision flashed forward to them in prison uniforms aboard The Raft.

Mattie didn’t seem quite as upset as her immediate reaction was to complain how “Aw, man, we don't even get a quinjet..."

Julia continued to showcase an utter lack of understanding of how any of the legal process worked as she said: “Prisoner transport? We haven’t even been tried” incorrectly assuming that “prisoner” only means that they’d already been sentenced.

The four of them were strapped into their seats and not two minutes later the sky-taxi took flight.

"Shit..." Cassie murmured as she had another vision of the Raft...and what their life would be like there if the other prisoners know the truth of their story. She saw the four of them kneeling in a prison shower with red-smacked asses, licking the holes of all the bigger and tougher inmates. "...Oh shit. Guys, we need a story..."

Anya looked confused. “Isn’t it a bit late for an alibi?”

"No, no, not what I meant. They're taking us to prison...and I just saw what will happen to us in there if the other prisoners hear about what just happened..."

“What will happen?”

"We'll be made to, uh...serve the tougher prisoners...in the shower." Cassie tried to put it as delicately as she could.

“What does that mean?” Julia nervously chimed in

"We're gonna be sex slaves." Mattie put it plainly. "Unless we can convince 'em we're a lot tougher than we actually are." She’d seen a prison movie once and that knowledge was already proving helpful.

Upon hearing that, Anya looked even more horrified than when she saw a sign crush a person to death. “W-What? That only happens in men’s prisons”

“I thought so too, but in my vision..." Cassie explained

“Ok so we need a story to make us sound tough. But what?” Anya asked

Mattie thought for a moment. "Well, we did arguably just kill a guy..."

Anya quickly had an idea and thought aloud “What if he was a supervillain?!”

"Yes, that's good!" Cassie suggested. "He was trying to kill us, and we dropped a whole Pepsi sign on him to defend ourselves!"

"Okay...why was he tryna kill us?" Mattie asked

“Maybe he had visions too and saw that we were going to kill him?” Julia offered

"Yes...yes, that's great!" Cassie agreed.

From there they spent the rest of the flight fleshing out the absurd details of their nonsensical story (The incoherent plot of Madame Web)

Chapter 15: Incompetent Heroines - Part 2

Chapter Text

It had been a surprisingly long trip in the sky-taxi (a different surprise was how it somehow managed to fly them out of New York out onto the ocean, but that was less pressing) when it finally made landing on the long runway of The Raft. Cuffed and ready to go, the incompetent vigilantes were brought inside for their intake by a pretty significantly sized group of armed guards considering that the four accidental criminals hadn’t done anything *too* severe. Nonetheless, the grand arrival was standard procedure. The walk into the supermax prison was difficult, and not just because they'd be locked up for an indeterminate amount of time surrounded by the worst criminals on the planet. That would logically be the main thing on everyone’s minds, but it was hard to think when the tight shackles around their ankles caused them to trip every few steps. 

By the time they actually reached the intake room, they’d each stumbled and nearly fallen over at least a dozen times. It was honestly a relief when the guards around them ordered the women to step into the marked room ahead and stand still. A relief that wouldn’t last long because as soon as they entered they were met by two other guards, Officers Sarah Weaver and Renee Winters, who watched them wolfishly. 

"Spider-chicks, spider-chicks..." Renee sang (to the tune of the Spider-Man theme song) as the doors shut behind them. 

"Get caught immediately, cuffs go click. 

Can they swing, from a web, 

No they can't, they got caught on a fire-escape...okay, the rhyme scheme doesn't work, but you get the idea."

The song made Mattie cringe as shuffled in her cuffs, trying to figure out how exactly she wanted to respond. She didn’t have to though because the other guard sang:

“They can’t climb

So they’ll do time!”

Officer Weaver added to Renee’s little song with a grin. Both of them were already *very* familiar with the wannabe-Spider-Women thanks to the sudden notoriety the group had gained in just the past few hours. 

"Oh, that's good, thanks!" Renee said to Weaver.

Cassie couldn’t do much but glance at both guards before she had a series of visions of having to perform various (dubiously consensual) sex acts on them while wearing an orange fishnet body-stocking vaguely resembling her current dress. 

Anya was far more outspoken as she looked up at both of the guards and defiantly said:  “I want to talk to my lawyer!”

"Yeah, same." Mattie added. 

The plea for a lawyer was promptly ignored as Weaver and Renee conversed on their new toys again. "So, which two do you want? Dibs on the redhead, by the way." Renee staked claim. Weaver eyed her options carefully before responding:  “Hmm I think I’ll take fishnet dress here annnnnd little Ms. ‘Is there a problem officer?’”

Renee nodded in agreement to that deal. “So that leaves me with latina cutie too”

Ever quick to catch only the most important parts of a conversation, Julia protested: “Dibs on the redhead? That’s kinda objectifying!” 

Whether speaking up was a good or bad thing Julia couldn’t tell because it was met with only a laugh from Renee. “God, I love the new-fish. So innocent..."

Julia gulped in dread at the emphasis put on innocent. “W-What do you mean?”

Julia wasn’t the only to have something to say about the guards conversation. “It’s a metaphor…” left Cassie’s mouth immediately after her dress was brought up, beginning 

her rambly explanation again. Mattie was more focused on being called “Ms. Is there a problem officer”. Although she dreaded knowing the answer, she asked: “Uh...how do you know about that?" 

Weaver looked all too thrilled that she asked. “You girls are kinda famous right now!”

“Great…” Mattie sighed as Weaver turned to Cassie. 

“Oh and your “metaphor” is a great public nudity charge” the brunette guard taunted. 

"Oh...probably should have thought of that..." Cassie admitted. 

“Well you’ll have plenty of time to think about it”

Renee stepped behind Anya and roughly inserted the key into the locks of the girl’s cuffs. The chain rattled and clanged as the mechanism slid into place and an activity light flashed green and snapped into satisfying blue. “Hey, Sarah, wanna know something funny?"

“Always”

"Those clowns at ICE filed a request for this one to be transferred to their custody!" Renee barely suppressed a laugh as she explained. "Like...how did they expect that to go?"

“Really? Wow they really don’t understand that we never let such pretty new meat go”

Anya ignored the “new meat” comment and chose to be excited by the news. “So I’m not getting deported?” She asked in relief. 

Renee chuckled. "Sure, honey, that's the good news. Bad news, this is the Raft, basically super-Guantanamo, and you're never leaving!" she said cheerfully.

“N-Never leaving? That’s insane! I didn’t do anything! I’m innocent!” Anya went from relieved to terrified fast.

"No we're not..." Cassie corrected Anya. "...We're like...really tough. That guy we dropped a Pepsi sign on was like...Spider-Man on steroids.”

“What?” Anya asked dumbfounded for a second before remembering their new story. “Oh right! Well we’re superheroes who stopped evil Spider-Man! We don’t deserve to be here!”

Renee worked very hard to not laugh out loud. "Oh, sure. Evil spider-man. Makes sense. So, uh...what are you? Spider-girl? Spider-chica?"

"I'm spider-girl." Mattie interjected. 

“I’m Araña” Anya replied like it’s a cool name. 

“And I’m Spider-Woman”

“What about you, metaphor dress?” 

“Madame Web..”

Renee smirked, amused. "And together, you're...?"

"The spider-girls!" Mattie said proudly.

"Yeah, we never quite agreed on that..." Cassie chimed in. 

“I thought we agreed on Arachnachicks?” Anya only made the list of awful names worse. 

Renee met Sarah's eyes with a look that said 'These girls are going to be traded like currency in the shower.’ 

Weaver stepped behind Cassie and started to undo her cuffs. “Did you make this dress yourself?” she asked as the key clicked into place. 

 Cassie paused, surprised by Weaver’s seemingly sincere tone."Uh...yes, actually."

“You should have done fashion design or somethin”

"You really think so?" Cassie sounded flattered.

“Yeah. Well it’s a bit late now since you’re probably spending the rest of your life here but still”

"Oh, yeah..." Cassie sounded a little deflated...but only a little. "Um...what will happen to it?" she asked, somewhat more concerned about the dress’ fate post-incarceration than her own. 

Weaver turned the key slowly, letting every gear click loose. “Do you want an honest answer to that?”

"I'll probably see if you don't tell me anyway."

“Well I’ll probably keep it. I can’t just let such a beautiful dress go to waste”

Cassie didn’t seem too upset with that. "I could make some adjustments so that it's your size..." She offered as the handcuffs came loose. 

"Alright, shall we get to the main event? We will now begin your complimentary strip-search. All of you get naked. Well..." she glanced at Cassie. "More naked."

There were a few disgusted groans from the Arachnachicks, but, whether due to a passing familiarity with prison procedure from watching movies (as in the case of Mattie), or because they figured it wouldn’t be much worse than their current state (Cassie), they knew what to do. Well most of them did. While her friends stripped down to nothing around her, Julia had said “Ok…” and then simply stood witlessly looking about the room for a changing room. 

Renee gave Julia a moment to catch on to what the others were doing and replicate it, but when that wasn’t working she coughed. "I'm waiting, prisoner."

Julia looked at Renee in desperate confusion, the neurons in her brain firing as she took a painfully slow time to catch on. By now Mattie was down to nothing but her underwear, Anya was almost out of her super-suit, and Cassie was delicately taking off her dress trying to make sure she didn’t damage it. Finally it clicked and Julia gasped. “Wait, you want me to undress right here?!” 

"Yes, and if you don't start in three seconds, bad things will happen. 3...2...Hey, Sarah, when you're done getting fashion tips, we've got an uncooperative prisoner over here."

“Just tase her. That always works” Weaver shrugged. “Make sure the voltage is high”

Julia watched Renee’s belt, scared, but curious, if the guard would actually do it. She planned to relent as soon as she knew Renee was serious. She got her answer when Renee raised her taser and pointed it at her. "Strip.”

Julia needed no further confirmation that the guards weren’t above harming her and immediately began undressing. She was fearful enough to make up for lost time, swinging her arm back and forcefully pulling down the zipper of her black and white Spidey-suit hard enough that it probably ripped along its quick descent. She didn’t pause to finish letting her costume fall down to the floor before she unhooked her pink bra and let her well-endowed double D doughy breasts tumble free from their confinement. 

Renee whistled. "I definitely made the right call." She said with a smirk which only made Julia self-consciously cover her chest. "Hey, Sarah, I think this one could give Darcy a run for her money.”

Sarah turned her attention from the now undressed Mattie to gawk at Julia. “Mommy milkers like those are gonna make her real popular here” she mused crudely. Mattie was a little relieved to have her guard’s attention drawn off her flawless dark skin, but that was short lived as a second later she let out a yelp as Weaver stepped behind her, embracing her in a sort of hug with her hands clasped around her tits. 

"That's sexual harassment! There's gotta be some kinda rule against that!" Mattie cried out

“There aren’t. International waters. We can do *whatever* we want with you” Weaver reasoned matter of factly. It was true. As long as none of the inmates died under their watch the guards had free reign to live out every twisted fantasy on their prisoners. 

"Great..." was all Mattie could say. Clearly that was going to be her new catchphrase in here. 

If there was ever a word to describe Officer Sarah Weaver it was “unprofessional”. A creepy and obsessive fangirl who’s duty to her job was always secondary to her own satisfaction, she rarely was one to actually responsibly complete the non-sexual tasks that came with her line of work. It was something that made her stand out even in a prison full of pervy guards. Meanwhile, Renee enjoyed the whole process of humiliating the new arrivals just as much as Weaver, but she at least maintained a professional standard of search. So one can hardly be surprised that Weaver had opted to half-heartedly search Mattie’s big and beautiful jet black hair with all the care of a toddler, while Renee methodically searched Julia's hair, ears, mouth and nose with her torch.

Both searches progressed with a certain gusto, never slowing to the prisoner’s pace. It really summarised what life would be like now for the accident-prone vigilantes. They’d be forced to live within a system that never stopped or slowed to their convenience. Weaver tugged and pulled at Mattie’s thick hair, and Renee tussled and spun Julia into whatever position was best. The feeling of poorly lubricated latex gloves running along every bit of their bodies wouldn’t be something they forget (thankfully they had a future full of strip searches to be sure of that).

Having long quietly removed the nude-coloured undergarment she had on under her dress, Cassie tried to cover herself with her hands as her and Anya glanced awkwardly at the scene unfolding before them. The patience to wait their turn to be searched had lapsed and expired when Anya ventured to ask “How long does a search usually take?”

"Why? Got somewhere to be?" Renee asked sarcastically while flashing her light down Julia’s mouth. 

“No…” Anya replied glumly. The thought that being stripped naked and forcefully searched was just the start of prison life was something that shut her up.

Point made, Renee turned back to Julia and shut the torch off. "Lift up your breasts by the nipples." She ordered with a smirk knowing there would be a greater demand for Julia than for any of her compatriots.

Julia hung her head down in shame to conceal just how much she was blushing as she pinched her (embarrassingly) hard nipples between her fingers and lifted her tits up for her perverted guard. Having double Ds had always been in her benefit on the outside, but it quickly was becoming apparent that it was only going to get her unwanted attention in prison. It made her shiver when Renee ran her fingers under her breasts, infuriatingly slowly, and took the opportunity to feel them up. "Okay, lift up your feet, one at a time, you can lean on the wall if you need to."

Julia nodded and awkwardly tried to turn around and lift her right foot up, stumbling from a poor center of balance with every little movement. The convict attempted an embarrassingly substantial number of attempts that made it look like an undignified little dance which made Renee laugh out loud and give a 'you seeing this shit?' look to Weaver. Julia eventually relented and just stood against the wall for better support. Finally in one spot, Renee did a quick check of Julia's soles that could have been done thrice over in the time that Julia stumbled about.   

While Julia was doing a dumb dance for Renee, Weaver was almost finished with all of the least interesting parts of Mattie’s search. She removed her torch from illuminating Mattie’s left ear and lifted the inmate’s right arm up to procedurally search her armpit. “Those spider suits of yours really don’t breathe do they?” Weaver remarked. 

Mattie looked mortified. "I wore a lot of antiperspirant..." she said defensively.

“I would suggest a change in brand but y’know” 

Mattie sighed...but her curiosity got the better of her. "...What kind of change in brand?"

“*Freyja* would have probably been the best brand for you. Pretty sure Black Widow uses it” Weaver was more than happy to suggest

"Thanks..." Mattie said, somewhat absurdly given the context.

“Of course. I can probably get you some in return for a favour” It was far from the best deal Weaver had attempted to make with an inmate, but the women present didn’t exactly seem like the brightest of new girls. 

While no one really noticed, the offer triggered a vision in Cassie. There were brief flashes of a dizzying array of things Weaver would later expect from them. Among them Cassie saw a breathtaking moment in a cluttered office. Mattie was tucked away underneath the lip of the desk with her face buried between Weaver’s thighs. The sounds of moans filled her mind and then they were gone. As fast as the visions had come they had stopped. 

Cassie breathed a slow calming inhale as the subjects of the vision discussed the deal. 

"…I mean, I prolly won't need it. Prison uniforms breathe better, right?" Mattie asked. 

Weaver chuckled. “A) Literally anything breathes better than the costumes you girls were wearing…well, except for Cassie’s. B) You’ll be working in a mine from now on. Imagine what it will be like to work impossibly long hours of breaking rocks only to get sent back to the cell you share with at least one other person. Trust me, you’re going to miss deodorant”

Mattie gulped, not giving an immediate answer, but she would think about it.

Both guards came to similar (unsurprising) conclusions. Mattie and Julia were in fact not hiding anything. Who would have thought? To wrap things up, Mattie was shoved against the wall and Renee finished by saying: "Okay, all that's left is the cavity search, which I'll perform after I've done the preliminary search on Latina cutie. Speaking of which..."

Now it was Anya and Cassie’s turn…

Anya was gently, but firmly, taken by the shoulder and forced to endure the beginning stages of a search that was pretty identical to Julia’s. The same could not be said for Cassie.

Cassie had been dragged by the hand and stood next to Mattie. She hadn’t even been able to catch her bearings before the search began with the shining of a light in her eyes. Blinded and confused, Weaver asked her a question. “So how does it feel being a famous superhero?”

"Not great...” Cassie answered honestly, knowing the kind of fame she meant. She’d wanted to become a famous superhero, not a viral sexy blunder. “How bad is it? The...publicity, I mean” 

Weaver held Cassie’s jaw and made her open wide as she answered: “Well the people at the Daily Bugle almost had a heart attack at the existence of four more spider-menaces, WHiH have almost exclusively talked about you four as proof why the Accords are necessary, pretty sure some weird Intelligencia people are using you as examples of why women can’t be superheroes…” Weaver gagged “…and there are already about a billion edits and videos about you four on TikTok if that helps” she put the torch on her belt and moved to Cassie’s shoulders. 

Cassie raised an eyebrow. "Intelligencia? I thought they all doxxed each other in a fight over She-Hulk's shoes." She wanted to ask about seeing some of the TikTok videos, but a well-timed vision of what Weaver would demand in exchange for that and she promptly decided against it. 

“Lift your tits” Weaver ordered.

Cassie was never more glad than now to have relatively small breasts. She lifted them up in turn, wincing slightly as her long nails pressed into her nipples...suddenly having rather peculiar vision. She could see Weaver in her office, admiring herself in a mirror, wearing her web-dress...without the nude-coloured undergarment.

“Something wrong?” Weaver asked, noticing Cassie’s weird pause as she had the vision. Her concern wasn’t great enough though that she didn’t proceed to begin feeling up Cassie’s breasts. 

"Huh? Oh, uh...nothing...just...I...I see the future sometimes..." Cassie explained, hoping that it didn’t sound too ridiculous.

“Ok….so what’d you see?”

"Uh...you...in my dress...you-you look good in it..." Cassie stumbled over her words. "...And have more confidence than me to go without the body stocking..."

Weaver nodded her head in surprise at the accuracy of things “Yeah that basically is what I planned on doing later. Guess your vision was right. What other things have you seen in your future?

"I uh...can't have visions on demand." Cassie apologised. Why did she sound apologetic to the guard that was feeling her up? She didn’t know. 

“Sounds like a pretty useless superpower” Weaver said bluntly. “Raise your right foot”

Cassie tried to balance on one foot, hopping around a few times before tenuously balancing in place. A simple little push would have been enough to send her to the ground. 

“Ok now the left”

Cassie was pretty sure Weaver didn't even check her right foot, but she also wasn’t about to make an issue of it. She shifted to the left after a few more humiliating hops.

Weaver grinned. “Actually, I’m not sure I fully saw your right foot. Lift it again”

Cassie breathlessly asked her “Seriously?" only to be shot back with a ‘what do you think?” look. The seer performed the act again…and again…and again, blushing red as she did. It wasn’t until the second or third cycle that Weaver got bored and told her this part of the search was done and that she could wait against the wall besides Mattie. Coincidentally, Weaver also had spent long enough humiliating Cassie that Renee had already thoroughly searched Anya's head and was now having her lift her breasts, an act which she didn’t seem to like the idea of doing. 

“What could I even hide under them? Her I get, but I’ve got nothing” Anya complained as Renee checked under them. 

"You'd be surprised. Some women have been known to tape packs of powdered drugs or even razor blades under their breasts...doesn't look like you thought that far ahead, though.”

Anya found the idea of taping a razor blade to her breasts extremely uncomfortable. It seemed like just the slightest mishap would result in a painful little cut. 

While she wouldn’t see the luck in things, Anya fortunately didn’t have to endure as twisted a search as Cassie had. For now at least. The four women were now subject to part two of their searches…the cavity search. 

All lined up against the wall each looking a mix of tired, embarrassed, scared, and pissed of, they knew what was about to come next was going to make everything thus far look enviable. Knowing that the inmates were dreading what was to come, it was only natural that Weaver would ask: “Which of you would like to go first?”

To which an uncomfortable silence hung in the air. It was as if not saying anything would somehow pull the guards to a standstill and the prisoners wouldn’t have to endure it. Each of them shifted with trepidation, waiting for someone else to go. In a sense, it was an unspoken expectation that one of the others would be the one to volunteer. Anya, Julia, and Cassie all could suddenly breathe again when Mattie said "Not it” laughing nervously at her own lame joke. A joke which doomed her to be the first in their group to get her holes probed. 

Renee turned to Weaver "I think Itapo just volunteered."

"Ah...Itapo?" Mattie questioned as Weaver forced her to bend against the wall and then the guard bore down on her, hot breath against her neck and hand on her firm black butt. 

"'Is There A Problem Officer'" Renee explained the nickname with a grin.

The nickname stung, but not as much as the feeling of a cold finger sliding roughly into Mattie’s previously virginal asshole. She shrieked and anxiously shifted her balance from bare foot to bare foot but it did nothing to make it hurt any less. "AH! PLE-EEAAASE!" Mattie whined, sounding absolutely pathetic. "There's nothing up there!"

“Sorry, but this is standard procedure” Sarah Weaver teased as she pulled her finger out just to ram it back up her again. 

The sensation made Mattie squirm, helplessly yelling: "FUUUCK!" Weaver’s cold finger continued to run along the inner flesh of her rectum, probing for contraband she know she wouldn’t have. “Say your name is Itapo and then we can move on” 

"Ah...wha...why?" Mattie asked, equal parts confused by the request and embarrassed at fulfilling it.

“Because I said so. Now do it or I’ll make this so much worse”

"Ahh...mmm...M-my name...My name is...Itapo..." Mattie said, almost whispering the last word.

“Louder…” Weaver curled her finger inside her. 

"AAHHH! ITAPO, MY NAME IS ITAPO!" Mattie shrieked.

“See that wasn’t so hard!” Weaver said gleefully, removing her finger in a gesture. Mattie, or Itapo now, was given just a second to breath before her shoulder was grabbed and she was turned around. Mattie’s mind raced from the pain in humiliation but her consciousness was pulled back when she felt Weaver lay a hand between her legs.

Mattie tried to silence her moan as Weaver found her wet to the touch. 

“Really?” Anya and Julia stared at Mattie judgmentally. Julia couldn’t imagine how she could possibly enjoy the feeling of a strong sexy guard rubbing her pussy. That’s when Julia felt Renee come up behind her and quickly make it clear to her what Mattie was finding so fun...

“Doesn’t this feel nice, DeeDee?" Renee teased, twisting her fingers inside her and rubbing her clit with her thumb. Julia was at a complete loss for words at the guard's explorative touch, enough so that she entirely missed (or didn’t care) about her new nickname regarding her particularly well endowed feature. She shut her eyes in silent embrace of the moment, Mattie’s ragged euphoric breaths heaving at her side. Tingles shot down her spine. Whether she wanted to or not, she could feel herself getting to the verge of climaxing…and at that moment Renee pulled her hand away and painfully went up the other end. 

Anya watched in forced disgust as her friends were searched. Though she refused to admit it to herself, something about watching what happened to Mattie and Julia, the way they moaned and cried, it turned her on. If she hadn’t buried it beneath a thick layer of insistence that she was 100% totally straight, she would have recognised that the scene unfolding before her was getting her going. So how did Anya Corazõn, the Amazing Araña, react when it was her turn next? Not with any dignity. It was utterly bizarre when, lacking any subtlety, she immediately blurted out “I’m not a lesbian!!!” before Renee had even laid a finger on her. 

"Uh...Nobody said you were...interesting that's where your head went." Renee smirked. The sapphic guard looked genuinely surprised by the sudden outburst. Sure she’d heard it loads of times from scared convicts, but it wasn’t usually screamed at the top of their lungs without being touched. 

“What? I…” Anya failed to find a good response before she jolted at the feeling of Renee placing her hand against her well-shaven sex. 

"So..." Renee said as she began to finger her. "...I guess since you're totally, 100% straight as an arrow...you won't be interested in an orgasm from me?"

“No!” Anya insisted vehemently while bending to her touch. For someone so against it, she moved herself closer. 

"Whatever you say..." Renee teased as she shoved a finger up Anya’s rear. Working her search deeper, she mentally struggled for a good nickname for Anya. It needed to be something catchy, and relevant to the girl’s obvious repressed sexuality. Nothing came to mind so she asked:

"Hey, Sarah, what's a snappy word for something you'd find real deep in a closet?"

Weaver mulled the question over for a time as she played with an utterly blissful looking Cassie. “Probably some kind of lingerie. That’s what I keep towards the back at least”

Renee nodded. "Hmm...What do you think of 'Laci' as a name for this one? Too many layers of explanation?" she asked over Anya’s pathetic squeals of pain. 

“I think it sounds cute” Weaver replied. 

"Great. You hear that, Laci? It's your new name, I expect you to answer to it." 

“Come on, really?” Anya whined through the physical discomfort. 

Renee twisted her finger, making Anya cry out. "Yes, really. What's your name?"

Through gritted teeth Anya gave her the answer she wanted. 

At long last the search was soon over and only one more thing remained before our incompetent heroines could begin their lifelong stay in prison. Taking her place in front of the inmates, Renee asked Sarah with a fiendish grin: "So, ready to move on to the mugshots?"

Mattie raised an eyebrow. "Don't we get uniforms first?"

“Don’t we get uniforms first?” Weaver mimicked mockingly before responding with a flat, “No”

“But…But that has to be against the rules!” Julia protested

“Again, international waters. What part of this place being a blacksite isn’t making sense?” Weaver replied. 

“Please…” Anya tried to plead to Renee for some sympathy

"You're wasting your breath." Renee told Anya frankly..

Weaver carefully fetched her camera, a possession she truly prized, while Renee gathered the signs for the four women. Once the camera was properly tended to Weaver’s satisfaction, she looked over her options in models. “Alright, who should go first? So many great choices….Itapo you’re up first again!”

Mattie stared daggers at Weaver but silently took her place in front of the height chart and lifted to her chest the sign which read: “Franklin, Martha: #SSM-1998”. She had been trying to hide from the guards' gaze before being picked. Today was not her lucky day. 

Stony faced, Mattie watched as Weaver was determined to get the perfect pictures. She was honestly really passionate about this. Surprisingly so. It would have been flattering if she wasn’t unwillingly naked. Still, the enthusiasm in photography was a little infectious and she found herself a little less annoyed as she turned to get the next shot. 

Weaver lowered her camera, finished with her passionless inmate. “Alright stand over there and wait for us to finish with the others” she pointed at the table with a stack of clothes on it which Mattie didn’t hesitate to go to and get herself dressed. 

"Okay, Laci, you're up next." Renee said to Anya, handing her her sign.

Anya bitterly looked at what her sign said as she marched over to the chart. Standing in front of the room with her sign below her chest, a question burned in Anya that would have been best unanswered. She tried to quell it as Weaver turned the camera’s attention up, but the question only burned hotter. Unable to bear not knowing, she nervously asked aloud: “Will people see this?”

Renee didn’t hesitate to explain that "It'll be in your inmate file, so all guards and prison staff will see it."

“Wait no! Please just let me put my clothes on first!” Anya pleaded, just as Weaver’s camera flashed. 

Renee paid Anya’s terror no mind and simply ordered the next instruction. "A shy one. Interesting. Turn left, keep the sign facing the camera."

Anya started to…and then she paused. This was ridiculous. Sure she maybe accidentally helped crush a guy to death, but she didn’t deserve to be humiliated like this. Maybe if she just asserted herself they’d let her keep some dignity. Lowering the sign away from view and turning to face the guards once more, she boldly demanded: “I’m not doing anything until you let me get dressed…please”

Renee folded her and looked stern while Weaver was rendered completely useless, nearly dropping her beloved camera in a fit of laughter. "That's not gonna happen. Hold up the sign." Renee calmly ordered.

“No” Anya objected, though it came out sounding like more of a question really. 

She was a superhero and she wasn’t going to back down! Well she didn’t plan on it. Her meagre confidence dwindled as she watched Renee go to the desk that stood near the back of the room and retrieve a sturdy looking orange rubber spanking paddle that had air holes for increased speed. Renee held up the sturdy weapon. "Literally the only difference you're gonna make is how long this takes, and whether or not your mugshots feature a red ass. Your choice..."

Anya stared deeply at the terrifying paddle. Her mind was already racing with very obvious second-thoughts about her act of defiance. She could have just given up now…but she wasn’t in The Raft for good decision making. Quivering slightly, she doubled down: “…You wouldn’t…I mean, your scare tactic isn’t going to work on me!”

Renee rolled her eyes and a second later she had Anya by her hair and was pulling her to a chair to hold her over her knee.

Eyes wide, Mattie looked to Weaver. "Is she fuckin' serious?"

“Yeah she is.” Weaver smiled, raising her camera to take pictures. The day had provided her with better photo material than anything she could have devised. 

Anya had already begun to tear up before the paddle had even hit her. “Wait no please! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” 

"Too late, point's gotta be made." Renee said, then began viciously, repeatedly smacking her ass with the paddle, alternating cheeks and never leaving her long enough to catch her breath. Renee was sure to make sure Weaver had opportunities to get pictures as she went. 

Anya could only scream and plead messy and slobbery incoherent words as the orange paddle struck her cheeks in rapid succession. The feeling of rubber against bare flesh hurt in a way far beyond what she had imagined possible. Each time she tried to catch her breath another blow would come down hard on her butt. Through teary eyes she could occasionally catch Weaver walking back and forth getting the perfect angles for her shots.

Once her ass was a nice photogenic shade of red, Renee paused the spanking. "Are you gonna be cooperative with your mugshots now?" Her tone was infuriatingly calm.

Anya wanted to respond immediately, but she found she couldn’t thanks to a nasty combination of the pain and being entirely out of breath. It felt like it took forever before she could say a tearful “Y-Yes”

Renee looked to Weaver to confirm she had all the pictures she wanted.

Weaver looked over her reel. “Maybe just one more with you facing me? I don’t have one like that yet.”

“What?! I thought we were done!” Anya raggedly yelled just as Sarah turned to face the camera with a smile and gave her rear one final smack for emphasis. 

Cassie looked as white as a sheet through the whole ordeal, while Mattie was staring in open-mouthed disbelief. A spanking...an actual fucking spanking...what kind of prison was this? Julia could only be horrified as the torture of their friend finally came to an end. She couldn’t live her life in a crazy torture prison run by horny lesbian guards! 

Anya didn’t dare do anything she wasn’t told to do for the rest of her mugshots. Even when Weaver told her to bend over and hold her sign just below her butt she obeyed. She now knew what exactly the guards did to bratty inmates and she never wanted to experience it again. Her steps were pained as she assumed her place besides Mattie. It was now Cassie’s turn.

Just like Mattie and Anya, Cassie stood in front of the chart and looked despondent. 

“Smile for the camera.” Weaver ordered. 

Cassie looked perturbed. “Seriously?”

Weaver stared her down. A threat now set down for all to fear, she turned and said passively: “Officer Renee, please get the paddle…”

"Wait, don't!" Cassie forced an obviously fake smile onto her face and hoped it would be enough. 

“That wasn’t so hard, was it?” Weaver snapped her picture. “To the right”

When all was said and done, Cassie got to walk away from the board without any painful bruises, unlike Anya. Sure her face hurt because she was too terrified to drop the grin she’d been ordered to have, but she’d be fine. Now where was her jumpsuit?

Weaver sighed. “Alright that just leaves one more of you…” 

"Um..." Cassie began to speak up softly, embarrassed and afraid. "...There...there doesn't seem to be a jumpsuit with my number..."

”I had the inmates in the factory make something special for you, but it isn’t ready yet so I guess you’ll just have to wait. It should be ready soon…”

"What...make something...I..." A vision of the orange web dress flashed before Cassie’s eyes again and she blushed. "Oh..."

"DeeDee, is there a reason you aren't in front of the camera yet?” Renee glared. 

“I…but…ok” Julia resigned herself to doing whatever they wanted after seeing what happened to Anya. Shoulders slumped, she shyly shuffled in front of the camera. She felt more self conscious posing naked there than she did getting recorded by half of NYC. Sign gripped over her buxom breasts in one hand, and crotch covered by the other, she stared nervously into the camera.

"Nice try, but no hiding the goods, sweetie." Renee chuckled, folding her arms in satisfaction as she watched Weaver work. Between Julia and Darcy, Renee may soon have a monopoly on big-titted prisoners belonging to herself…well, apart from the obvious big green exception. The last photo was taken. "Okay, Deedee, go get dressed. Sarah, when was Mystic Meg’s uniform meant to be ready?"

“It *should* have been done by now…I guess they’re running late.” Weaver said, annoyed. There was a silent impatient pause while Julia was getting dressed before the door drew open and a nameless guard entered and set down a white box. Finally, Weaver took the box and held it up to Cassie, eagerly bidding her to open her “present”

Cassie already knew what awful outfit the box contained as she joylessly unwrapped the present. Sure enough, within the white box was an orange fishnet body-stocking, pieced together haphazardly from bits and pieces of various materials that could be found in the factory. If the metaphor dress was scandalously revealing, this truly would leave nothing unseen.

"...Don't suppose I can opt for the jumpsuit?"

Weaver scoffed, reacting as if Cassie’s valid reaction had personally wounded her down to her very core. “No. You can’t. Now put it on” she commanded in a tone distinctly less warm than it has been throughout the intake process. 

Cassie felt strangely bad about upsetting Weaver. She’d been in this place maybe half an hour and it was already messing with her head. But at least she wasn’t the only one initially displeased with their new wardrobe. Julia was bothered by pieces of her outfit…or, more accurately, by the lack thereof. She raised her hand for permission to speak because just had to bring it up. 

"What is it, Deedee?" Renee asked with feigned annoyance.

“I-I think you…forgot…something”

Renee chose to make a dramatic show of wondering what she might mean. "No, I don't think we have. But let's check: Do you have your jumpsuit?"

Julia shrunk against the wall, feeling very put on the spot. She was hoping they wouldn’t make a big deal of this. “Yes”

"And a pair of panties with 'property of the Raft' printed across your ass?"

Julia answered the question with a meek “…yes”

"Then that's everything." Renee concluded with a sadistic grin, daring her to press the issue.

“…But what about a bra…and shoes?!” Julia said a little more intensely than she meant. Fearing repercussions she added “I think you forgot it. I-I understand since It’s been a really busy day…but can I please have them now?”

"Not part of the standard uniform." Renee said flatly, with a grin that belied her tone of bureaucratic detachment. "If you want one, you're gonna have to earn it..."

“How?” Julia asked naively, eliciting a look from Renee that told her to guess. Of course Julia failed to catch on and continued in stride. “Well I really don’t know what the work is like here but I’ll do anything!”

Cassie leaned in and whispered a brief explanation of the type of things Renee Winters would expect to “earn” , which made Julia hastily take back her comment about doing anything. “Oh! Nevermind! I-I’m fine without it…”

Renee only shrugged her shoulders. “Suit yourself. Weaver, shall we parade the fresh fish through the cellblock?”

“Gladly!” Weaver responded. 

Cassie’s hands sprung to cover herself in preparation for the walk. She couldn’t believe she was actually being forced to wear her new custom-made outfit. 

“Hands to your side, inmate, or I’ll be forced to cuff you” Weaver barked. 

"B-but ma'am...shouldn't my body be reserved for you and only you?” Cassie argued in as sycophantic a way as possible. The attempt did not work and with that the Arachnachicks were taken to their new home.

Chapter 16: Incompetent Heroines - Part 3

Chapter Text

The Arachnachicks were led down different cellblocks where they were each met with similar reactions. The air was thick and hot, but the four hapless new girls shivered at the piercing stares that the women all down the block had on them. There was something hungry, no ravenous, about the way they stared. It ventured beyond just unsettling. 

Mattie and Anya were wise enough to know not to look them in the eyes. It was as if engaging with them would condemn them into being brought into that cell. Cassie was 

too overwhelmed to speak, as, with every step, she seemed to have another vision of being stripped, spanked, sexually assaulted or otherwise generally abused by every inmate she saw. It was nightmarish. Julia couldn’t help but frantically turn to see the countless scary women they passed. 

"Look at the knockers on that one!" Sylvie Laufeydottir remarked excitedly to Valkyrie about Julia. "I don't recognise any of them, do you?"

“I don’t. They’re cute though” Valkyrie replied while she playfully reached for Julia, brushing a finger against her shoulder.

“Nice dress, cutie” Agatha Harkness wickedly grinned at Cassie.

"You'd look good curled up at the foot of my bed" Laura Kinney, better known by her experiment name “X-23”, thought aloud. 

Another woman, Maya Lopez, signed something that Anya didn't understand…until she made a ‘V’ with her fingers and began licking the space between them. 

Each of the new girls had a moment where they couldn’t help but gasp with horror. These prisoners were incredibly fit and all hardened criminals. The Arachnachicks were way in over their heads. Cassie’s premonition made more and more sense. They each could only fearfully wonder where they may be headed. 

Mattie had to wait the shortest amount of time to find out as Weaver pulled her to a pause and the cell door to the left drew open. With a small shove, Mattie was pushed into her new home. One she’d be sharing with two threatening looking individuals. 

Standing in the corner, eyes shut as she took a long drag from the cigarette in her hand, was a slender looking woman with dark oily green hair. Against the bunk bed with her arms crossed was another woman with violently red hair. Viper and Sin. 

"Um...Hi." Mattie said to her cellmates, trying to sound less nervous than she was as the door rattled shut behind her. She stood up straight, shoulders back, in what she hoped was an intimidating presence. 

Viper withdrew the cigarette from her emerald lips with a sigh, opening her eyes with a flutter as she did. There was a silent pause as she looked the new fish over with a particular, obvious, disdain. “Hi there” she greeted in a sultry voice, just the slightest hint of disgust present in her tone.

‘I'm Mattie...I mean...Spider-Girl." She was a little uncertain as to whether she should use real names or superhero names in prison, so to be safe she used both. Stressed as she was, she didn't catch the disdain in Viper's tone.

"Who are you?" Mattie asked the green-haired woman after an awkward pause.

“…Spider-Girl” Viper repeated slowly, considering vocalising her current thought process. Ultimately she decided to say nothing for now and answer the question. “They call me Viper. You may have heard of me” A good number of people were familiar with her after her terrorist plot was ruined by The Avengers, but that was years ago and memories fade

Mattie’s eyes widened slightly. "Yeah, I remember." she said, trying badly to hide how nervous she was to be locked up with a terrorist. "You tried to blow up Avengers Tower, right?"

“And several surrounding districts” Viper proudly added. If her plot had been successful, it would have killed thousands. 

"Impressive." Mattie said, trying to sound more impressed than nervous. She kept her eyes locked with Viper’s, having heard that was a good way to establish dominance.

Sin grew tired of letting Ophelia have all of the fun. Moving behind Mattie, she threw her arm around her in an uncomfortably close embrace and asked: “So what are you in for, homegirl?” needlessly saying the last bit in an ‘urban” tone. For Sin, it was Christmas to have a non-white cellmate. 

Mattie caught her tone and was uncomfortable with it, but she answered. "Murder, property damage, being a living WMD...the usual." She couldn’t afford to sound weak. 

“Who’d you kill?” Sin pushed. Not that she was surprised that…”someone like her”…killed someone, but in a prison full of murderers she wanted to know if she did anything that stood out.

"Guy's name was Ezekiel Sims. He was like Spider-Man on steroids, and he was tryna kill me and my friends because he had a vision of us killing him...guess it was kinda self-fulfilling." Mattie repeated the story her and her friends had agreed on in the prisoner transport.

“Do you hear that, Opehlia? Looks like the new girl killed Spider-Man on steroids…” Sin said with clearly fake amazement.

Viper grinned. “Wow…so you’re pretty fucking tough, huh?” 

"Yeah...Yeah I am. I got tough friends in here too." Mattie hoped she sounded convincing. She didn’t. 

“Tough friends? Want to tell us who they are?” Sin questioned. It looked like Hydra was about to have four new girls to claim.

“Just so we know who to avoid” Viper added. 

“I'll be with them in the yard tomorrow." Mattie replied, a little guardedly. "And yeah...it would be a bad idea to fuck with us."

Sin found her new black cellmate amusing. “We’ll be sure to stay far away from you. Right, Ophelia?”

“Of course”

Sin leaned in closer to Mattie and asked in a hushed tone: “Just asking cellmate to cellmate, was this Ezekial white?” 

"Huh? I...no, I don't think so. Why?" The question, besides being stupid, made Mattie uncomfortable. She’d heard stories about racial divides in prison, and that question didn’t bode well.

“Just was curious is all. Can’t blame a girl like me for wondering.” Sin shrugged. To her it was just a harmless question after all.

One awkward moronic question went by just for another to come up. This time Viper asked: “Are you a dyke?”

"Huh? Why would you...no, I'm not a lesbian." Mattie still wanted to ask Sin what she meant by 'a girl like me' but she wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer. 

Viper didn’t allow her time to ask that question though, because she threw out another one. “Ok good. Too many of the women in here are wet for each other, don’t you think?”

"Uh...wouldn't know." Mattie responded, not being familiar with this place yet. She got an obvious homophobic vibe from what Viper said and it slightly irked her. 

“You’ll understand soon enough” Sin smiled. 

Mattie decided to press the point. "So...y’all don't like lesbians

“Lesbians, blacks, trannies, slavs, muties…” Sin began listing a long, seemingly unending, slew of things she didn’t like, using numerous derogatory terms. It was fascinating just how narrow the category of people she did like was. 

Mattie got a shade paler as Sin listed blacks in particular. This was definitely bad. They almost certainly recognised her nervousness...

Mattie’s eyes began to dart around for anything she could use as a weapon to defend herself with.

“Don’t be scared, we won’t hurt you…much” Viper teased. 

"Try anything and you'll regret it..." Mattie warned. She assumed what she imagined to be a defensive posture...based on the couple of hours of YouTube self-defense tutorials she watched in preparation for her superhero career.

Viper grinned as she sarcastically raised her hands in defeat. Mattie’s defence wasn’t convincing in the slightest, but the collar around her neck indicated she must have some sort of power. Viper reasoned it would be wiser to assess what she could do before making her move. 

Mattie laid down on the floor (she wasn’t about to challenge the two HYDRA women for a bed) and did her best to get herself comfortable in a cell she shared with people that absolutely despised her. Sleep naturally didn’t come easy, and, with her eyes shut, she could hear her cellmates retire to their bunks. That seemed like a natural conclusion to things as the lights of the cellblock dimmed into pitch black, but then Sin snapped her fingers and Viper come crawling up to her leader’s bed. Mattie could hear the rustle of clothes coming undone, and then enthusiastic moans pierced over the creaking of their bed.

"Huh?" Mattie couldn’t help but vocalise outloud. She was abstractly aware of the hypocrisy of bigots of course, but this was a more concrete example than she had personally encountered before.

————————————————————— 

Cassandra Webb faired only slight better in who she was locked up with. Instead of two violent Nazis, she got…a bloodthirsty assassin (plus Karen Page)

Cassie stepped nervously into the cell, her arms moving to cover herself. She was acutely aware of how exposed she was in her fishnet dress, and, if she wasn’t, the hoots she got on her way through the cellblock would have made her so. "H-hey..." she greeted her cellmates, blushing. She glanced at them in turn, seeing if any visions were forthcoming.

There were two women laying on the top bunk. The first was an athletic woman with dark olive skin and long dark chestnut hair, Elektra. Nestled against her, laying softly on her heaving chest, was Karen, a tired woman who’s natural beauty was lost underneath too much makeup. 

“Hi!” Elektra said happily as she looked at the strangely dressed gift who’d just been brought to her cell. “What’s with the outfit?”

"Um...It's kind of a long story." Cassie answered, her eyes going over the other women in the cell. "It...one of the guards made it after she saw my arrest on TikTok...her idea of a joke, I think..."

"Weaver?" Karen guessed.

"Yeah."

“What did you do?”

Remembering their agreed story, Cassie explained: "Me and my team killed a supervillain. Knocked him off a building and dropped a Pepsi sign on him. Then several whole squads of SWORD goons showed up to arrest us, and it got recorded." She hoped the prospect of a superpowered team with her would deter any effort to hurt her. 

Elektra stared at Cassie, suddenly a lot less happy about her presence than she was a minute ago. “ You killed a supervillain?” It was a lot tougher than she expected from an inmate so…vulnerable.

“Who was the supervillain?” Karen asked. Even after a year of Elektra’s abuse she still maintained her inquisitive nature.

"His name was Ezekiel Sims." Cassie replied, recalling the cool-sounding name they’d made up on the flight. "He had the powers of Spider-Man...so do the other girls on my team. I just have precognitive abilities, but they'll protect me if they have to."

Elektra was in disbelief. The story sounded absolutely stupid, but so did most of the stories she’d heard. Cassie could be in a Spider-group (Spider-gang?) or she could be lying. Elektra thought it over carefully and decided it was a risk she was willing to take.

Elektra pushed Karen aside and got closer to Cassie. “And how will they protect you without their powers?”

Cassie noticeably shrunk back as the imposing assassin approached her. "Th-they know how to fight..." she tried to warn. 

“So do I.” Elektra threatened. 

Cassie backed up against the bars. "It won't be worth the fight. Trust me." She tried her best to sound more imposing than she looked or felt.

Elektra just kept getting closer, making Cassie back more and more against the bars until she could go no further. Pinned against the wall with nowhere to run, Cassie could only tense up as Elektra’s hand ran through her long brunette hair. “I think a pretty thing like you is more than worth the fight” 

"...What do you want?" Cassie fearfully asked. 

“Not much tonight. All you have to do for now is sleep in my bed, and then tomorrow you’re going to show me your super tough spider-squad. If they’re as formidable as you claim, you’re free to go. If not…”

Cassie had an internal 'oh shit' moment that she knew Elektra could probably see on her face. The best story in the world wouldn’t have been able to cover for their abysmal lack of talent. "Oh...o-okay...sure..." she shifted awkwardly. 

Elektra turned around and climbed up to the top bunk. Eyes set intently on Cassie, she patted the spot where she wanted her to lay down and then undid her jumpsuit until it just barely clung to her waist. Cassie paused when she noticed what she was doing, blushing bright pink, but she went ahead and took her place next to her. She could only lay stiff as a board as Elektra locked her in a suffocating embrace and began intrusively poking her fingers through the gaps of her fishnet dress. All Cassie could do was hope, through some miracle, that her and her friends would somehow be able to seem as tough as they claimed. 

————————————————————— 

Julia was on the verge of screaming out in horror before she even stepped into her cell. The owner of the long mechanical tentacles that clung to the withdrawing bars were immediately recognisable to just about anyone who lived in New York. “C-Can I be assigned a different cell?” she hurriedly asked Renee as they approached.

"Oh, sorry honey, is this room not to your liking? I'm trembling about your bad yelp review." Renee chuckled, shoving her inside and locking the barred door behind her.

Julia looked like a deer caught in headlights as the door clicked shut behind her. She had two cellmates. The first, and more noticeable, was Doctor Olivia Octavious, this world’s variant of Otto Octavious. Although she was a rather skinny woman in her mid forties with wild unkempt hair and strange octagonal glasses, Olivia, much like most of her variants across the multiverse, was a brilliant scientist turned foe of New York, notably having assembled the fearsome Sinister Six. She was also single handedly responsible for unleashing a city-wide outbreak of GR-27, aka Devil’s Breath, an unstable biological weapon with a near 100% mortality rate. 

The second cellmate was Frances Louise Barrison, better known by the name Shriek. Unlike Olivia, she looked terrifying. Her skin was completely, unsettlingly snow-white and a large black diamond tattoo adorned her left eye. Shriek was the Bonnie to Cletus Kasady’s Clyde, the fairer half of their murderous duet. Together they were the most feared serial killers of the modern age, infamous for unspeakable acts of grim depravity. 

Olivia smiled, amused at the newcomers' clear terror of her, while Shriek silently sat on her bunk and watched. Left in peace to play with the new fish, Olivia’s tentacles moved gently around Julia, not quite touching her, but surrounding her.

"Well now, sweetheart...that's hardly a nice way to greet your new cellie, is it?" She asked with a smirk.

“I-I didn’t mean anything by it. I-It’s just you’re…” Julia failed to find words that wouldn’t  make things worse. Everything in her wanted to turn back and run to the bars to cry for help, but even she knew that would be pointless. With the tentacles around her, she hadn’t even had a chance to notice the other woman present.

Olivia grinned wider, and leaned in, her face mere inches from the newcomer's. "Go on. I'm...what?" She clearly was having immense fun watching Julia squirm.

“You’re a…very…intelligent supervillain” Julia jumped towards flattery in hopes she’d let her go.

Olivia paused for a long beat...and then threw back her head with laughter. "Oh, my dear girl...flattery is a good instinct in a place like this. So is general submission."

Her tentacles shepherded Julia further into the cell, then parted to reveal her to Shriek.

"Strip." Olivia commanded. "I want to see what we're working with."

“I-I don’t really want to…maybe w-we can do something else?” Julia felt compelled to at least try and show that she was in fact against this. She looked at Shriek and, despite the serial killer’s very ominous appearance, Julia mentally begged that maybe she would help. “A-And she probably doesn’t want me to strip…I just was searched and I’m kinda sweaty still from the costume I was wearing s-so this really isn’t a good time”

"I want you to strip." Shriek clarified, not revealing anything else as she crossed her legs on the bunk and waited for the show to begin.

Julia stammered for some other excuse since Shriek, predictably, agreed with Olivia. “Ok…well I s-should probably mention that I’m part of a really tough group of superheroes and we all just arrived. I-If you make me strip we’ll…fight back a-and believe me, you don’t want to know what happened to our last supervillain…” Her threat was about as fear-inducing as a baby elephant. “We actually all have spider-powers so…”

Shriek’s eyes met with Olivia's and they both chuckled. "Go on, then. What happened to your last villain?"

“We dropped a big sign on a villain named Ezekiel Sims, who also had Spider-Man powers …oh and the sign maybe electrocuted him” Julia mixed up real events and the agreed upon alibi.

Olivia grinned. "Oh really? Spider-Man powers? You you have those too?"

“Yeah! They actually call me Spider-Woman” they actually being just herself and the other Arachachicks.

“And how did you come by those?" Shriek asked dryly.

“We were bitten by a radioactive spider. Well except Cassie who’s a mutant and can see the future” Julia replied. She actually stole the spider from Oscorp but that detail wasn’t important. 

Shriek met Olivia's eyes, silently asking what to do next. Olivia considered the matter. The girl wasn’t exactly convincing, and her story more than a little ridiculous...but so were multiple stories of prisoners in The Raft (including her own) that she knew to be true. And if she was telling the truth, she didn’t want to incur the simultaneous wrath of three spider-women and a psychic.

“Strip." Olivia repeated the command. "...But for now, that's all you will be called upon to do."

“W-What do you mean ‘for now?’” Julia nervously asked, terrified by what could possibly be worse.

"Well, if tomorrow it transpires that you do have a powerful gang of superpowered women backing you up, then we're equals in this cell. If, however, you're lying..." Olivia’s smile was menacing as she let Julia’s mind finish that sentence with whatever implications.

Julia gulped at the implication, based on her experience with the guards earlier, before she started to undress. Compared to her costume, the jumpsuit was remarkably easy to take off. The zipper lowered and then her outfit went tumbling to the ground. She didn’t bother covering herself. “I’m leaving my underwear on...please”

Her plea was ignored as Shriek’s eyes lit up at the costume falling away and Julia’s well-endowed breasts being revealed. She licked her lips, not caring if Julia noticed.

"No." Olivia replied simply. "Strip means everything."

Julia of course noticed Shriek’s reaction and she couldn’t stop herself from asking a question while she reluctantly lowered her underwear. “We’re all women here. Shouldn’t we be above objectifying each other?”

Shriek only laughed. The new girl was hilarious. "First time in prison, huh?"

“Yes” Julia nodded in defeat. She’d managed to be stripped of her dignity not once, not twice, but on three separate occasions in one day. This was the worst day of her life.

"Well, in a place like this, female solidarity isn't exactly in fashion. You either take or be taken." Shriek got up, as if to fondle her, but was held back by a tentacle.

"Now now, Frances...let's wait to test her claims first. If she's lying...there'll be plenty of time to enjoy her." Olivia chided. 

Julia sighed in relief at the last minute save. She really hoped the other three were doing well because her cellmate experience told her they were doomed. “Which bed is mine?” She noticed there were only two beds but three people.

“Well, I guess you have two options...Sleep on the floor, or cuddle up with one of us..." Olivia offered, but she wasn’t even able to finish the sentence before Julia interrupted: 

“But the floor is so dirty!” She complained. 

"Well, then..." Olivia grinned, gesturing to her bunk with a dramatic flourish.

“Nevermind…I-I think I prefer the floor” Julia tried to back out of something her own habit of focusing on the wrong thing signed her up for. Thankfully for her, rather than trying to force the issue, Olivia let her go to the floor, figuring she’d probably get the opportunity to set things straight later.

————————————————————— 

Last in the group, Anya was just now arriving at her cell. She noted that it was only a few cells down from where Cassie had been taken, but it still felt like they were as distant as could possibly be. Anya winced with every step closer to the cell she took, still hurting from Renee spanking her. It took her a while to notice the woman in the shadows of her cell, obscured as she carefully assessed the newcomer. “Uh hi” Anya greeted shyly. 

"Hello." her cellmate greeted, her thick Russian accent a perfect monotone that revealed no emotion whatsoever. "What are you in for?”

“I was part of a group with spider-powers and we killed a supervillain named Ezekial Sims by dropping a sign on him. What about you?” Anya replied in a way that didn’t at all sound rehearsed.

Her cellmate was silent for a long moment. "Most people don't reply so specifically to that question." she said, not outright accusing her of anything, but heavily implying it to see if the newcomer would dig herself deeper.

“Oh…well…uh…I’m not most people” Anya tried to quip.

The woman stood up out of the shadows, letting Anya get a good look at her, and shaking out her flowing silver hair. Her cellmate, it turned out, was Silvija Sablinova, aka Silver Sable. Born a princess of the Eastern European nation of Symkaria, her family was killed during the rise of a brutal dictator and she was presumed dead. Orphaned and alone, destined to die if anyone knew her true identity, she was taken in by the Red Room and grew up to be a highly skilled mercenary. 

"I'm here because I know things my former employer, Norman Osborn, doesn't want widely known, and he has political friends in SWORD." She replied as she began circling Anya slowly, like a shark.

“Oh…one of my friends used to work for Oscorp…” Anya tried to hold up a conversation with someone that was getting increasingly more terrifying to be confined with.

"Don't care." Silver Sable said dismissively. "Have you been to prison before?"

“No” Anya said meekly, feeling as if her circles around her were drawing closer and closer.

"You seen prison movies? You know what terms 'mommy' and 'bitch' mean in here?"

“N-No” Anya took a step back, but was stopped when Sable put a hand to her back to arrest her movement.

 "Doesn't matter. Get naked. Now."

Anya went wide-eyed, she hadn’t even been in her cell for two minutes and already she was being asked to strip naked. “No way!” 

Sable’s response to being told “no” was quick and effective. She grabbed a fistful of Anya’s hair, and yanked her up onto tiptoes. "Sure about that?"

Anya squealed as she was pulled up by the roots of her hair by the very strong woman.  “Ok Ok…I’ll do it…”

The response was enough because Sable let her go.

Anya turned around to avoid having to make eye contact with the scary Russian/Symkarian mercenary as she was forced into doing the humiliating act, but it really only made for a more exciting unintentional strip-tease. How this could possibly be allowed was beyond Anya. She closed her eyes and breathed, trying to think of anything else, while she very slowly undid her jumpsuit.

Silver Sable watched and smirked. "So that stuff about being in a baddass spider-team...all bullshit, or just mostly?"

“What? No it’s all true! I promise” Anya insisted but it just came out as really whiny. The zipper reached the bottom and there was little she could do to stop her jumpsuit from falling to the floor.

Sable chuckled. "Oh, da. Very believable. Group of heroes I've never heard of kill villain I've never heard of by dropping sign on him, then says in very clearly rehearsed way." she moved in front of Anya then pointedly moved her chin to face her.  "The truth. In all. Now."

“Please I’m telling you the truth…” Anya’s heart was racing as she started to think maybe their cover story wasn’t as good as they had thought. Sable’s breath felt hot in her face, her grip around her painfully tight. Anya realised she was so screwed. 

​​Sable grabbed her ass, and chuckled as she winced in pain. "Someone's recently been spanked." she observed. "And about to get another." She dragged Anya to the bunk and positioned her over her knee, waiting a moment to see if Anya would give anything up.

“You don’t have to do this!” Anya pleaded like she was about to kill her, not give a simple spanking. She vacillated between trying to be brave and push through this in order to save herself now, or admit what she wanted and likely doom herself. Her ass was so sore, she couldn’t go through that again. To her credit, it wasn’t until she was leaned over Sable’s lap ,her hand raised in preparation to give a devastating blow, that Anya relented. “Ok y-you’re right. I lied! I had to though! Please don’t spank me!”

"Truth. In full. Now." Sable repeated her demand from before. She maintained a good poker-face, but she was privately amazed at how easy that was. 

“One of my friends has visions of the future and me and the other two have spider powers, which we thought we’d use to try to be superheroes. Well the vision told her that there was a manager at a nearby Pepsi cannery  committing wage-theft and so we tried to swing in and stop him, but the place exploded and one of the signs fell off the roof and crushed a pedestrian…or it electrocuted him. I’m not really sure. But it was really embarrassing because everyone was watching us get arrested and it went viral apparently. While coming here my friend had another vision where bad things happen to us because we’re not tough and so we made up a story” Anya tearfully relayed the entire story quickly, letting words slip out in rapid succession. “…But you don’t want to do anything to me, right? Y-You seem nice” she added. 

For a long pause Silver Sable was too amused by the story to do anything. "That's...almost as bizarre as the made up story. But I don't think you're making this up."

“So you’re not going to spank me?” Anya asked cautiously

"Not now." Sable replied, letting go. "You are mine, though."

“Thank you- wait I’m what?” Anya was going to thank her for sparing her, but then she added…that

"Mine. My petúx, if you know that word. Bitch if you do not."

“What? No! I won’t” Anya objected. 

“And you propose to stop me...how exactly?" Sable asked with a smile.

“Well…I…uh. Please don’t” 

Sable stood up, and folded her arms, exuding an effortless menace born of years as a mercenary and over a year in prison. "What are you?" she asked coldly.

Anya backed away slowly but there was nowhere she could go. She was trapped in a tiny cell with a deranged lesbian! “You can’t! This has to be against a rule or something…” Anya had only been in prison an hour and she already knew the rules were far too lacking to prohibit this, but it was worth an attempt.

Sable lowered her arms and advanced towards Anya, effortlessly shoving her against the wall. "What are you?"

“I won’t say it!” Anya cried out. 

With a roll of her eyes, Sable pulled her back to the bunk, sat down and positioned her over her knee…again. 

“This is ridiculous! Please I’ll do anything you want if you make someone else your bitch” 

Without further ceremony, Sable began spanking her ass hard and fast, alternating from cheek to cheek. Anya wasn’t sure if it felt like it hurt more with Sable because she was already sore or if Sable was more skilled at it. It didn’t matter either way though because Anya was currently lost in a stream of agonised tears. The repeated impact of Sable’s hand against the soft, cherry-red flesh of Anya’s butt was deafening. 

When the volley of smacks concluded, Sable asked the question again. "What are you?"

“Y-Your bitch” Anya cried over her searing behind. 

Sable delivered another smack. "Close. Try again."

“W-What do you want me to say?” Anya couldn't think over the extreme pain. 

Sable sighed. "You're kinda stupid, aren't you, petúx?"

“I-I don’t speak Sokovian” Anya managed to answer the rhetorical question without trying to.

Sable rolled her eyes and delivered another 12 spanks in quick succession. Anya’s screams echoed down the cellblock but no one cared. "It's Russian, petúx. Now what are you?"

“I-I’m your…I’m your petúx” Anya said through pained gasps. She had genuinely lost count of how many times she’d been spanked today. 

"Good." Sable said, shoving Anya off her knee. "Now, notice how you're in the exact same position you would be in if you had submitted 20 minutes ago, but with a sore bottom. Remember this next time you think of defying me."

Anya lacked the self-reflection to see how the situation paralleled her intake and how her response to both made things worse for herself. She would surely be back in this scenario soon. “N-Now what will you do with me?” she nervously asked while rubbing her aching ass.

Sable examined her naked body with an analytical eye. "You ever been with a woman? Ever licked pussy?"

Anya felt deeply uncomfortable at Silver Sable’s gaze at her bare body. Even more so than she did with the guards, but she didn’t know why. “No! I’m not a lesbian!” she said vehemently before adding “…but there’s nothing wrong if you are” out of fear of insulting her again.

Sable grinned. "You'll learn...but not right now. See...you and your friends...your story 

will crash and burn in spectacular fashion...and I want you to still be fairly innocent when that happens because it will be funny."

She went to the top bunk. "For tonight, do as you like. First night after you are found out, your pussy licking experience begins."

Anya didn’t even know what to say as the fear of having to bring her face anywhere near such an awful person’s crotch filled her with abject horror and disgust…and arousal. She chalked the last feeling up to being a result of not having been with anyone in a while and for some reason being triggered. The simplest answer just wasn’t something she thought of. 

Anya tried laying on the bottom bunk, but no matter what angle she slept at, her rear burned. She simply couldn’t get comfortable enough to sleep. Still not allowed to get dressed again anyways, she saw a possible solution. It wasn’t very dignified but she had to make the pain stop. That’s why she fumbled out of bed and staggered herself over to the cold metal toilet of the cell, exhaling as the pressure stung but then the chill relieved some of the pain.

Silver Sable watched with some amusement at her petúx's effort to ease her pain, but didn't comment on it. Anya was very cute. With some training and discipline she'd be the most popular girl in the showers…

Chapter 17: Incompetent Heroines - Part 4

Chapter Text

It wasn’t even 4 PM yet and already the foolhardy spider-themed inmates all unanimously decided that this was in fact the worst day of their lives (not yesterday as they had believed not 12 hours prior). Breakfast had been awful, and served by the Scarlet Witch no less (who Anya managed to accidentally insult, resulting in her being served far less food than everyone else). The work in the mines was physically taxing in a way that was completely new to the four girls. It left them weary and aching. Now they were currently sitting in the yard, at last allowed reprieve from their work. Cassie, for one, looked utterly miserable, covering herself as best she could despite the literally transparent mesh that was her "uniform".

Mattie glanced around at the others, visibly exhausted. "We gotta do better than this. Get a better position in the prison hierarchy..."

“How are we supposed to do that?” Julia tiredly asked while she rested her head against the wall and wiped the sweat from her brow.

“The girls in here are stronger than we thought…” Anya chimed in, not having yet told the others that she told Silver Sable everything yet.

"Well, the traditional way is to beat up the biggest girl in the yard." Mattie replied, her experience with prison movies once again coming into play. She glanced in the direction of the green giantess currently being cuffed and led off by the guards, sighing and submitting to the cuffs as Weaver requested her for one of her regular sessions of jump-rope. "...Okay, maybe not her , but the idea is sound." Mattie decided. 

Julia paused and took a quick seated glance around the yard for any other possible targets. “Oh I know what about her?” she excitedly pointed at Elsa Bloodstone….just before she violently attacked a vampire with a weapon in hand and both were dragged away. Elsa had a mad bloodlust in her eyes equal to the vampire’s even as one of the guards tased her in the stomach.

"Huh...You know, maybe we shouldn't be thinking 'big' in the literal scary sense so much as big in the gangsterish sense..." Cassie suggested. 

“What about her?” Anya pointed to a beautiful older woman, Vanessa Fisk, lounging on a bench smoking a cigarette. She recognised her as the wife of New York’s infamous mob-boss mayor, but honestly she didn’t look that scary. At least compared to everyone else around them.

Mattie nodded in agreement. "Yeah...looks cocky, and no collar, which means no powers. I think we can take her."

“Are we sure this is a good idea?” Julia questioned. “It seems like a lot of our plans aren’t going well lately.”

"You got a better one?" Mattie asked confrontationally.

Julia meekly slouched back against the wall. “No”

"Okay so...how should we do this?" Cassie asked, feeling kind of confident about this one. They surely had to win at some point, right?

“Maybe one of us could just walk up and punch her and the rest will join in?” Anya suggested. 

Mattie looked at her. "You volunteering?" 

“No way! I vote you go first” Anya quickly said. 

Mattie looked to the others hoping, praying, they’d volunteer but no such luck. She was going to have to begin the confrontation alone. "...Fine, but y'all better have my back." she said as she stood up and approached Vanessa. Her knees were practically wobbling as she padded towards the Queenpin. 

Upon arriving, Vanessa looked Mattie over and sighed boredly. “Do I know you?”

Mattie tried unsuccessfully to look and sound badass and intimidating as she said: “No. But you're about to, bitch”

Vanessa could only smirk at the foolish nerve of whoever dared to call her ‘bitch’. “Touch me and my girls will hold you down on the floor of the showers while you are violated by half the prison.” She threatened in the calmest of tones, making Mattie increasingly unnerved until she faltered and looked to the others for advice, receiving only an unhelpful shrug from Anya. Vanessa saw them and asked “So they are your co-conspirators?” completely unimpressed. 

"Teammates." Mattie corrected, sounding a lot less confident than she intended.

“Right” Vanessa nodded condescendingly. “I think the four of you will earn me a lot” 

"Yeah...we'll earn you a lot...of trouble!" Mattie put as much enthusiasm as possible into the lame quip, and then took an entirely foreseeable swing at her. It would be her only solace because, as Vanessa took the blow with the most grace she could, Maya Lopez silently advanced, landing a very painful kick to Mattie’s lower back with her prosthetic leg. It easily sent Mattie toppling to the ground. 

“Just how stupid must you be to think going after me was ever going to work out any other way than this? You will serve my gang well…” Vanessa taunted Mattie as she was beaten by Maya and the other three were cornered as well. 

Cassie looked for some escape while Julia pleaded. “I don’t know these three! You have to believe me” was the best Anya could come up with. 

Maya turned Mattie over and hit her across the face. Looking up at Vanessa she signed <Again?>. 

Receiving a nod of approval, Maya gave her leader a thumbs up and then struck Mattie again. It was hard enough to make Mattie pathetically plead, “Stop, Stop! I’ll do whatever you want!"

“Whatever I want?” Vanessa repeated what Mattie said, challenging if she truly meant it.

Mattie wasn't thinking of the consequences as she begged: "Yes. Please. Just don't hurt me." 

Vanessa signed for Maya to let her go before commanding Mattie to stand up and take off her jumpsuit immediately. Although Mattie was dazed, she rose to her feet and did just as commanded without pause. She turned her back on Vanessa, inadvertently creating a more tantalising striptease for her, as she shed her jumpsuit, revealing her back, then her ass, then her long, athletic legs. Her jumpsuit fell to the floor faster than she had after being attacked, leaving her, for just a moment, in her underwear in front of the entire yard before doing away with those too. 

The scene of Mattie undressing elicited more than a few whistles and remarks, the focus of the entirety of the yard seemingly on her. Of course Vanessa was completely unfazed, sighing as she sat back down on the bench. Although she did nod in satisfaction at the body of her newest toy. She wasn’t naturally into women, but the desperation of prison life had given her a greater…appreciation…for the feminine form.

Silver Sable, and some other members of the Queenpins, made the Arachnachicks kneel at her side to wait their turn to be inspected by their new boss. As soon as Mattie was dismissed to wait by Maya, Vanessa turned to the three others and ordered them to get up. 

Rising shakily, Cassie began: "Look, we've clearly made a mistake here..." 

But hadn’t even had a chance before Vanessa interrupted:  “Yes you’ve made a big mistake and you will pay dearly for it” 

"...I don't suppose it's worth asking if you'll let the new prison girls off with a warning?" Cassie tried, knowing it probably wouldn’t work. 

She got the expected result as Vanessa only chuckled and said: “No. Now begin stripping for me”

Julia’s eyes went wide with horror, heart beating like a drum in her chest. “You can’t make us do that! We-we’re superheroes with spider-powers! We even killed someone s-so messing with us is a really bad idea” she protested, sharing the agreed upon alibi a little late considering they’d already been beaten up.

Silver Sable chuckled, and addressed Vanessa. "They have some powers, but nowhere near Spider-Man's strength or agility, and they can't fight for der'mo. Also, guy they killed was accident. They drop Pepsi sign on him."

Vanessa nodded and said to Julia “That will be an extra punishment for lying to me”

Cassie, Mattie, and Julia all immediately swung around to look at an increasingly flush looking Anya, silently staring daggers at their easily-breakable friend. “She made me tell her! She threatened to torture me!” Anya attempted to justify but to no response. There was no use. In that moment Cassie bowed her head in exhausted submission and shed her web dress. Then Julia and Anya followed. As all four women stood naked, a crowd of inmates formed, shouting crude appraisals of their bodies and hooting in lusty anticipation for Vanessa's next order.

Vannessa tapped her foot on the concrete ground as she considered who to crudely torment first. Dozens of sadistic ideas went through her mind on how to make them miserable, but ultimately one stood out. “I want the three of you to lay down and form a triangle” Why punish one when she could humiliate three of them? She would have included Mattie too, but she wanted to reserve her for herself at the moment. 

"A...triangle?" Cassie asked, blinking. "Like, heads to feet or..." Then she had a vision of the three of them laid down in a triangle, her mouth at Julia's pussy, Julia's mouth at Anya's pussy and Anya's mouth at her own pussy. "...oh..." Cassie whispered in realisation, blushing. She layed down.

“W-What does she want us to do?” Anya asked quietly to Cassie and Julia, but could tell neither was very fond of her at the moment. Her question would be answered though…just not in the way she wanted because Silver Sable rolled her eyes, took Anya firmly by the shoulders, and positioned her on the ground, pressing her face to Cassie's sex with her body at a 60° angle to Cassie's. She then looked to Julia, trusting she would get the point.

Julia understood. “I-I’m not putting my face…there!” 

“Well I could just have Sable stab you for plotting against me instead” Vanessa offered, sharing a knowing look with Sable who didn't even have a shiv on her. The threat worked though because without another word Julia got on the ground and assumed the position, nuzzling her mouth against Cassie’s unpleasant tasting crotch, while Cassie pressed her face to Julia's pussy, experimentally licking her vulva. The sudden start made Julia gasp, marking Anya’s cue to begin. Hesitantly, she ran her tongue along Cassie’s pussy lips but then began going all in. Sable kicked the still-inactive Julia in the thigh. "What do you wait for? Get going."

“Please don’t make me do this” Julia pleaded with her mouth still just barely not touching Anya. 

Sable of course responded to this by stepping over Julia, and kicking her in the stomach. "Lick, bitch!"

Hearing what was being done to Julia, Cassie began licking her womanhood with more enthusiasm. She hadn’t done this to a woman since college… 

Julia let out a muffled moan at Cassie’s enthusiastic fervour as her lips pressed against Anya’s increasingly wet pussy and then she slowly began licking, finding the whole thing unpleasant. Anya did not share the sentiment as, with Julia having finally begun on her, her already pretty excited pace with Cassie quickly grew even more until she was completely lost in the task. Cassie moaned in turn as Anya worked her over...she seemed to have experience herself. ‘Damn, Winters was dead on with that 'deep in the closet' thing.’ Cassie thought to herself as she began to writhe at her work, redoubling her own efforts with Julia.

With the group currently growing audibly more and more into their punishment, Vanessa decided Mattie had stood by and simply watched long enough. “Come here” she commanded with a snap of her fingers while her other fingers traced along the zipper of her jumpsuit, rubbing against the corner of the silvery pull. It had been nearly five hours since she last had a woman to sexually humiliate. 

Mattie stepped up to Vanessa, looking incredibly nervous...but her eyes also ran along her exposed chest with interest.

“You like what you see?” Vanessa asked. 

"Um...I-w-well...would you be cool if I said yes?"

“I don’t care what you think of it, but yes” Vanessa sounded a little flattered. She’d have been more flattered if Mattie hadn’t punched her a few minutes ago. “It’s good that you like it because this will be your world from now on. You will get to know every intimate detail of it” the mob boss said a little narcissistically as she extended her right hand out expectantly. 

Mattie didn’t really know what she wanted at first, staring at the extended hand with confusion. Not wanting to ask out of fear of further punishment, she simply did what first came to mind when dealing with the head of a criminal empire. She got on her knee and kissed Vanessa’s hand. That was clearly what she wanted as Vanessa took her hand back and then she opened the front of her jumpsuit to fully expose her tits. “Now kiss them,” she commanded. 

"Yes ma'am..." Mattie didn’t know why she called her that but it felt right. She crouched and took her right nipple into her mouth, sucking softly and licking it in a tender kiss. Vanessa let out a stimulated sigh. Her lips were soft against her hardened nipple. Mattie was already far more tender than most she claimed. Mattie noted her reaction and did the same to her left nipple. "...Was that good?" she asked, not sure why she suddenly cared about this woman's approval. 

“It was…acceptable” Vanessa hesitated on giving her too much approval, especially on her first day. Mattie nodded, evidently craving more approval, and inadvertently advertising herself as the ideal prison bitch.

Vanessa felt her lips press a little further into her chest and she nodded. Honestly, Mattie was doing really well before, but Vanessa did like how she craved the approval of her new prison mommy. She thought to herself about how most people she put into a non-consensual position like hers lacked a certain…work ethic.

Cassie shuddered to orgasm under Anya's surprisingly skilled efforts, and worked on getting Julia there. ‘Come the fuck on, Julia, let's get this done’ she whispered, pressing further. Julia was the slowest to get there, having not yet climaxed as Anya was well on her way to a third. Julia obviously couldn’t hear what Cassie said over Anya’s ear-piercingly wild moans and the jeers of the crowd but by that point she felt a sort of pressure to have to cum just because she  assumed they’d be done if she did. She stopped licking Anya and shut her eyes, trying to imagine whatever straight scenario she could to get off. Unfortunately her mind was too distracted by thoughts of her current situation…and then the kick to the side from Silver Sable.

"No slacking, bitch, keep licking!" Sable barked. For Julia it was like being back on the chain gang in the mine again, except so much worse! She resumed licking while trying to picture something straight. Anything straight even. It took a painfully long time but, finally, with a gasp she climaxed.

With the trio done, Vanessa ordered Mattie off of her and then I lit another cigarette, a habit she’d picked up in prison. Taking a long drag from it she considered what to do with her four new bitches next. There was a long silent pause where her gang waited for her next words. At last she finished and then she commanded her toys: “Stand on that table.” 

Mattie obeyed without hesitation, though her hands moved to cover herself as she stood in front of the hungry eyes of all the prisoners. Anya followed, looking blissful now that she’d lived out one of her deeply private recurring sex dreams about Julia. Cassie and Julia were last to get on the table and neither looked all too thrilled. 

Vanessa nodded at the underling most suitable for this next bit, Felicia Hardy, better known by her thief name ‘Black Cat.’ Resentful for her incarceration at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Spider-Man, calling Felicia a jealousy crazed psychopath was an understatement. She’d made it her goal in prison to make sure his harem of other “inferior” girlfriends (Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, Michelle Watson, and Liz Allan) were far more miserable behind bars than she was. At her cruel whims, they had been sold out, forced to sell and/or hide drugs, or framed for random infractions that she committed more times than she cared to count. Since the five of them shared a single cell, she also even determined simple things like whether or not they were allowed to masturbate, the answer was a hard never because she enjoyed seeing them sexually frustrated. There was simply no member of the Queenpins better suited for the upcoming event than her. She was their #1 source of cigarettes in the sex-trade market after all.

Felicia grinned at Vanessa and then gladly stepped in front of the four women on the table, looking them over now that they were in full view for her amusement. “Hands to your side, cutie. I want to see all of you” she purred to Mattie. Next she moved on to Cassie and rudely said: “I think I liked you more with the web dress on” She believed it was best to make them feel bad about themselves before selling them out. 

Cassie shifted awkwardly. "I could put it back on." she mumbled.

“No” Felicia answered roughly. She didn’t have much to say about Anya, there wasn’t much to say that her own friends probably wouldn’t express for her exposing their lie. Lastly at Julia she simply said: “I think you still have some of your friend’s cum on your lip” which made Julia quickly try to wipe it off.

With her personal assessment out of the way, Felicia returned to Mattie and began pitching her to the yard. “As you all can see, this first one is clean shaven, huge bonus, and what she lacks in tits she more than makes up with her ass. Plus she’s an eager little bitch who wants to please.” Felicia gestured her hand along her smooth crotch for the first item and then she expected her to turn around and show off her butt. Mattie looked at her, absolutely mortified...but meekly turned around, showing her generous backside to the crowd with only a humiliated whimper of protest. Felicia slapped her butt as if to drive home her point to the audience. “See, not even an attempt at refusing” 

Before we continue with what happened at the auction, we must briefly go over The Raft’s cigarette economy (exciting I know). Let's assume that a single cigarette is fairly rare and valuable, but not so much so that it would be prohibitive to rent a girl in the shower. One cigarette would be the asking price for a normal bitch, three for one that was generally considered above average in features, and five for either an exceptional cutie, or a bitch who is notorious in some way (e.g. an Avenger or goddess). With that out of the way, we may now return to the story. 

From the crowd came the first sounds from the horrifically scarred lips of Taskmaster, once Antonia Dreykov. "Starting bid?" she called out, already bored with Felicia's customary theatrics.

“Let’s see…mostly unused new girl, nice ass, shaven, fairly attractive…two cigarettes is the starting bid” Felicia responded.

Proxima Midnight raised her hand immediately. 

Viper nudged Sin. "A black on the auction block. All is right with the world." The awfully unfunny joke elicited a dry chuckle out of Sin.  

Karli Morganthau raised her hand, thinking she could gain favour for getting Mattie for Sin. It didn’t exactly go to plan as Sin immediately slapped Karli’s hand and demanded she not raise it again under penalty of losing a finger. 

Felicia smirked. “Anyone else? Going once. Going twice…” 

Oliva Octavious raised her hand (one of her extra arms) before the count was done. "Three." 

“Sold to the woman with eight limbs!” Felicia yelled as Mattie looked down, utterly humiliated. Felicia gripped Mattie’s leg and practically pulled her off the table. 

“I hear she’s really rough with her tentacles” the cat burglar whispered into her ear tauntingly.

"C-can I get dressed now?" Mattie asked nobody in particular.

“No. You can’t” Felicia answered Mattie’s question with glee before moving on to the next person. Presenting Cassie with dramtic flourish, Felicia said: “The leader of their incompetent little bunch, she was the first to submit to that triangle act. With all of the features of our last girl but without the nice ass, the starting rate on this one is one cigarette.”

"One‽" Cassie asked incredulously.

“Sorry, babe. I don’t make the rules” Felicia shrugged. 

Just like that the first bet came in, a raised claw from X-23…who then received a look from Jean Grey who also wanted to bid. 

"Seriously? Nobody else?" Cassie muttered, surprised at how much her low price upset her. 

Elektra Natchios raised her hand. “Two”

Jean Grey frowned. Not wanting to spend three cigarettes on a bitch...she raised her hand. "I bid the use of my bitch." giving Vanessa a look, letting her judge the value of that herself.

“The use of the witch for this bitch?” Vanessa asked, sounding very intrigued by the deal. “Accepted” she ruled. 

Jean nodded with characteristic dispassion, not even caring what Wanda thought of the deal. She found it amusing how Elektra scowled at her, knowing there was no way she could top the offer of an Avenger. 

“Jean!” Wanda weakly protested, giving her a pleading glance. 

The Phoenix took control of Jean and responded: "It's a simple calculation. 3 cigarettes are an expense to me. Your time for an evening isn't. Simple arithmetic, don't take it personally."

Wanda’s eyes flickered a scarlet shade, but only for a moment. She knew better than to try and argue with her girlfriend. It only ever made things worse. 

Cassie looked from Cat, to Vanessa, to her apparent buyer, wondering what she was supposed to do next. Her question was answered when Felicia shoved her off the table.

Watching from the walkway above, Officer Renee took a bite of her apple, smirked, and turned to Weaver. "Wow, those girls sure are in trouble..."

“Yeah…that’s not a surprise” Weaver replied while leaning on the railing, entirely entranced in the sequence down below.

"Think we should do something?" Renee asked, already knowing the answer.

Weaver looked at her sardonically. “What do you think?”

Renee took another bite. "I think this is clearly a suspicious gathering of inmates, and some of the cuter- I mean...more suspicious ones, should be taken for interrogation afterwards." 

“Yeah it would just be unprofessional to not search them in depth,” Weaver grinned, watching as Felicia pulled Julia’s arms to her side, having to wrestle with her to get her to show everyone her buxom bosom. 

“Do I even need to pitch this one? She basically sells herself” Felicia laughed. “Starting bid is 3 cigarettes because I mean look at her” she said as she went behind her and squeezed her breasts. One of the perks of the job. 

Proxima Midnight’s arm shot up but was ignored as Sylvie Laufeydottir did the same, indicating with her fingers a bid of four. 

“Really, her?” Darcy Lewis murmured a little too loudly, receiving a judging look from Jane Foster. 

Sylvie shrugged. "I have a weakness for busty slavegirls." The Shieldmaiden nomenclature was to use 'slave' rather than 'bitch.'

Just as Sylvie thought it was over, Natasha Romanoff raised her hand. “Four” the Black Widow bid with a sly smile. 

Sylvie groaned but wasn’t about to lose her sought after slave, upping her bid to five. 

“Think of it this way, you’re worth as much as an Avenger” Felicia whispered to the terrified Julia. 

“Wait really?” Julia asked quietly, sounding starkly less upset for a second

“Yep” Felicia nodded…just before shoving her off the table. “Alright she goes to the Goddess of Mischief”

Smiling at the acquisition, Sylvie turned to Valkyrie. "I want her. Permanently. Find a way to make it happen."

Valkyrie nodded. “Ok…know who her cellmates are?” She would get Sylvie the big-breasted Midgardian no matter what, just who she would be taking from her did determine how simple a task it would be.

“I’ll find out this evening” Sylvie replied

“Before or after you kiss her tits?” Darcy asked with jealousy. Sylvie ignored her but made a mental note to spank her for her snarkiness later. 

“And for our last girl…” Felicia forcefully spun Anya around to give everyone a nice view of her “…whoever buys her will have the extreme honour of being the first to break in the worst closeted lesbian I’ve ever met. Two cigarettes is the starting bid”

“I’m not a lesbian!” was what Anya chose to focus on. 

Shuri grabbed Riri Williams’, her girlfriend, hand and raised it in the air. Riri turned to Shuri and mouthed “we’re doing this ?” Put on the spot she quickly vocalised her offer. “Ok uhh three cigarettes!”

Shuri shrugged. “She's clearly out of her depth, and needs some friendly influences to ease her into accepting who she is.” she explained, trying her best to ignore the stare Okoye gave her that said she was trying her best to not tell the princess off for making the Wakandan royal family look bad by adapting to prison life so well. 

Determined to win something at the auction, Proxima Midnight raised her hand. "Four."

“Four? I bet a pack for her” Came an elegant voice from the back. Everyone turned to see who had spoken but none were surprised upon her discovery. Emma Frost was leaning against the wall boredly looking down at her well-polished nails. A high ranking member of The Sisterhood, she once was the White Queen of the prestigious Hellfire Club, secretly infamous for her annual superhero orgies. But now she was serving 129 life sentences for various charges tied to running a human-trafficking ring for the elite. In prison she’d managed to build something of a sex cult where only a few handpicked inmates were given the “honour” of being dominated by her. When she saw Anya she simply knew she wanted to gag her with her own underwear, tie her down to a bed, and whip her arse with a stolen guard’s belt until she no longer had the breath to plead for mercy. 

Shuri raised her hand to match Emma’s, accepting the mounting challenge and completely giving up the pretence of doing it through Riri. "One pack and one cigarette."

“Two and a half packs” Emma upped her offer, sounding a little more interested. 

“This escalated fast” Felicia remarked in slight astonishment. A bidding war had broken out between two of The Raft’s wealthiest inmates. Already the war surpassed the actual value of Anya, but there was no going back. 

As if the battle was not ferocious enough, Natasha Romanoff entered the bidding fray with an offer of three packs.

“Three packs and two cigarettes” Shuri upped her offer, followed by Emma who did the same. 

“Three packs and six cigarettes” Natasha attempted. 

“Four packs” her sister Yelena suddenly chimed in, bidding against her sibling for no real reason other than to annoy her. 

Natasha looked at her sister in confusion “What the hell? You don’t even have that much”

“I know. But you do” Yelena chuckled. 

“I’m not giving you that,” Natasha stated irritably. 

Yelena gave her a look that said ‘we both know that isn’t true’ 

Shuri grimaced. Riri and her had five packs and a few loose cigarettes total saved up without taking from any other members of the gang. Knowing Riri would tan her hide for it, the Wakandan princess went all in. 

“Five packs?!” Riri asked aloud in disbelief. “You’re so paying for that later”

"I know." Shuri replied, accepting whatever punishment may come. She looked to Emma, trying to stare her down while silently praying to the Ancestors that she didn’t call her bluff.

Being furiously fought over by a crowd of beautiful women wasn’t causing Anya to have any confusing feelings at all.

Emma Frost scoffed in annoyance. “Fine then I offer four packs, five cigarettes, and the same as Jean, the use of any member of my harem” she looked to Vanessa for approval. 

“Same offer but with Pepper” Natasha re-entered by serving up Pepper Potts as a sacrificial lamb. 

The response would be disappointing though as Vanessa smirked and said: “A member of your harem? At most they are only worth two cigarettes. Pepper is worth three. Unless either of you have a better offer the item goes to Shuri”

Both Natasha and Emma knew they were beat. 

“Holy shit we won!” Riri said a little too enthusiastically considering Emma Frost was giving them a death stare. “But yeah you’re being spanked for that”

"Fully accepted." Shuri said, glancing at Anya. “Look at her. She's clearly figuring herself out. You remember that, right? She needs friendly guides, not an abusive psycho. Plus, she is very attractive..." she shrugged.

In the end, Anya couldn’t help but be a bit flattered over the battle that had been fought over her. It was an amazing feeling that she forgot as soon as she was shoved off the table. As Felicia stepped down from the table and the crowd started to disperse back to their usual yard activities, guards above ordered everyone to remain still as others entered the yard and apprehended a few of the more “suspicious” prisoners. Just about everyone knew this was completely an excuse used by the head guards to get a chance to intimately search whoever they were in the mood for. Mattie, despite standing on a table naked for most of her time in the yard, was cuffed alongside a few others; Emma Frost, Sin, Sylvie, Jean Grey, and Black Cat. The other Arachnachicks were left in the yard to await their dispersal in the showers that awaited them tomorrow. 

 

Chapter 18: Incompetent Heroines - Part 5 - The End

Chapter Text

“You four better do your best for your clients.” Vanessa Fisk said to the Arachnachicks, who were carefully being escorted by members of The Queenpins into the showers where their buyers waited with much anticipation. It was the morning after the ordeal in the yard and to say the four incompetent heroines were sleep deprived was a vast understatement. 

"Yes mommy!" Mattie Franklin quickly said, sounding somewhat sincere in her enthusiasm.

It was enthusiasm that clearly wasn’t matched by Julia, who said: “I can’t believe you’re making us do this. This is basically human trafficking!” It was an attempt (and failed one at that) to make Vanessa feel bad. Which was met by a predictable “I don’t care” from the queenpin of crime before she gave them an expectant look for them to strip naked.

Julia didn’t bother further resisting, shaking nervously while she fumbled with the zipper of her jumpsuit. She’d learned what she could about who exactly bought her and wasn’t exactly calm about the idea of serving Thor’s evil sibling. 

Undressing barely made a difference for Cassie given her "uniform" but she did so anyway, with a downwards look, because she had seen what every other act entailed. Removing what little she wore she caught a glimpse of how fast Anya shed her underwear and couldn’t help but blush. 

Mattie took off her property-marked panties and then looked around for Doc Ock. As soon as she turned to find her, a tentacle abruptly grabbed Mattie by the shoulder and dragged her along into the showers. Mattie gave a surprised little yelp as she was grabbed, but walked with her without complaint. Not bothering to slow her pace as they passed rows of quickly occupied showerheads, Olivia Octavious pondered aloud: “I wonder if you’ll be better at this than your friend” referring to the previous night’s long session of herself and Shriek sharing Julia back and forth. 

"Or 'hello' as some people say." Mattie said snarkily, trying to relieve the tension.

“It seems the need to make obnoxious quips is a must for spider-people” Olivia noted, moving Mattie in front of herself and shoving her against the tiled wall.

"Oh..." Mattie moaned slightly as Olivia took charge. Her cheeks burned and she was wet between her legs even before the shower water started to flow. Her legs were spread with two arms, one coiled behind her head, and then the last prosthetic one gripped her ass with a not-so-gentle squeeze 

Olivia ran her fingers along Mattie’s wet pussy and said: “You’re more into this than I anticipated” 

"You're very...direct. That's hot." Mattie explained. 

Olivia only looked at her with mild amusement, pushing a finger up her and stroking her clit in circular motions that were just the right level of rough "Oh...ooooohhh..." Mattie moaned and gasped. She knew she’d be made to serve her shortly, but was in no hurry to cut this short.

Mattie’s back arched back as one of Olivia’s tentacles released her ass and instead found its way up her bum. Anxiously Mattie shifted her balance, but no amount of squirming made it feel less weird. It doubtlessly hurt, but she felt far more into it than she had when she’d first arrived. She didn't process her mixed feelings on it for long though because Olivia withdrew her hand from her sex and immediately allowed a tentacle to take its place, now penetrating both of Mattie’s holes. 

Mattie gasped at the invasion, her own body betraying her with a shudder of pure pleasure mixed with pain. Olivia leaned in close again, her tongue tracing along the tip of her ear. "You don’t have a quip for me now, do you?” she teased, beginning to thrust her arms slowly inside Mattie. The sensation was overwhelming

Olivia kept her going, getting her closer and closer until Mattie was just on the verge. Suddenly the tentacle flitted out of Mattie with an unsatisfying, clinical precision and she watched as Olivia brought the tip of the appendage that had just been inside her pussy up to her mouth. She gave it a lick and then made a show of sucking on the end of it.

“Make my three cigarettes worth it and I’ll consider letting you finish” She coldly commanded. In turn, without a word, Mattie sank to her knees, and began giving her a highly motivated round of oral sex.

Olivia moaned, leaning under the hot stream of water as Mattie buried her face, hands on her thighs, and pressed deeply in there, her tongue flickering fast. Shutting her eyes in complete bliss and flailing her arms the more she got into it, Olivia couldn’t help but admit that, of the women she’d paid for sex since the beginning of her incarceration, Mattie was better than most. She was truly determined to make her cum.

————————————————————— 

It was just as Julia lowered her underwear and raised her head that she spotted Sylvie, accompanied by her council of Asgardians and slaves, crossing the room like a (very naked) royal procession. From her strut alone, you'd think Sylvie was dressed in royal finery, as opposed to…well…just her smile alone. She was flanked by Darcy, Jane and Ravonna, who she directed to their various assignments before turning her attention to the beautiful Spider-woman. "Good morning." The Goddess greeted her, her polite tone dissonant with her immediately grabbing Julia’s tits.

Julia flinched at Sylvie kneading her boobs so abruptly. “Oh u-uh g-good morning” she stammered. 

Sylvie moved beside her, slipping her arm around the frightened hero and unsubtly feeling up her thigh as she walked her into the shower. Julia let out a sort of mousy squeak as she grabbed her in a tight embrace and led her forward. With her eyes shut, they progressed through the crowd of showering inmates before they stopped. "I assume this is your first time in prison? You have those unique new-girl nerves." She led her under a shower head.

“Y-Yes, your highness. Do I call you that? Your Highness.” Julia asked, eyes still shut.

"Your Majesty is the official honorific, but I'm not overly picky about it." Sylvie pressed her against the tiled wall and got right back to fondling her breasts. She was seemingly entranced by them. "I didn't catch your name during the auction."

“J-Julia” she answered, breath quivering. She didn’t enjoy the feeling of her touching her at all, but she was softer than she’d expected from someone who attacked a city with an alien army. 

"Mm-hmm...And tell me, Julia, are these delightful breasts natural?" Sylvie questioned, rubbing her big, sensitive-looking nipples as she did so.

Julia nodded in response while gasping at the feeling of her hands caressing her. Naked and close under the stream of water, there was something undeniably sensual about it. 

"Good. One last thing: Who are your cellmates?"

“Th-That octopus woman and a serial killer” Julia didn’t remember their names. It was pretty easy to forget names when they spent the night abusing her and forcing her into sex acts she didn’t even know existed. “T-They made me do things…” Julia also didn’t know why she thought that would gain sympathy from the Goddess of Mischief but she tried anyway. 

"Yeah. That happens to weaker girls in prison." Sylvie said, unconcerned. "Speaking of which." she pressed down on Julia’s shoulder. She was a lot stronger than she looked, being more than capable of pushing Julia down to her knees with less force than it seemed like she was really exerting.

“I-I’m not weak” Julia protested. 

Sylvie only laughed, amused by the assertion. "Really? Alright then. Fight me off. Go ahead. Try.”

Julia stared back blankly. “L-Like right now?”

Sylvie shrugged. "Either that, or get to licking. Up to you."

Rising to a stand on wobbling knees, Julia braced herself for her first proper fight as a superhero. Carefully she assessed just where to strike, wondering what exactly were the weak spots on an Asgardian. Ultimately the jaw seemed like the best bet. Ok but with what force? She’d watched one fight tutorial on Youtube and they said to not exert herself too much on the first swing, but Sylvie seemed a lot stronger than her. 

This long overthinking string of fight analysis seemingly stalled Julia for a few agonising minutes. Finally pumped up with enough adrenaline she took her first swing with all her force…and slipped on the wet tiled floor and fell hard on her butt.

Sylvie couldn’t help but burst into a cackle, and crouched over the fallen heroine's face. Julia tried to let out a cry of protest, but it was immediately cut off by Sylvie’s wet bushy pussy mashing down atop her lips. From this position, Sylvie was facing her torso, allowing her the dual advantage of being able to grope her tits as Julia ate her out. 

Julia gagged as she pushed her tongue out, finding it just as difficult as it was the last two times. Feeling her blonde mane touch her tongue made her writhe, shaking uncontrollably but giving Sylvie a nice show of her jiggling tits.

"Oh yes..." Sylvie said, breathily, Julia's big firm breasts in her hands and her tongue working on her pussy. Despite Julia’s inexperience, the position was very hot to Sylvie. Julia lapped away at the goddess, praying each pass of her tongue would be the one to make her cum so she’d leave her alone.

Sylvie came to a loud, screaming orgasm, completely unashamed of who saw it. She didn’t get off Julia's face though. Julia did her best to spit out her juices, but it did little to end the taste in her mouth. The thought of what happened completely made her skin crawl but at least she was done. Or at least Julia thought she was because she stopped licking despite the goddess not telling her to. She was clearly wrong though because Sylvie pinched both of her nipples hard and asked: "Did I tell you to stop, bitch?" 

The twisting pinch around her nipples made Julia shriek in pain, instinctively recoiling back to look up at her. “N-No…b-but you’re done…”

Sylvie only twisted harder. "You don't decide that."

“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Julia cried. 

Sylvie rolled her eyes. "Don't apologise. Work."

Julia nodded obediently and nuzzled her face once more between her thighs, wanting to gag as she started again. She didn’t have to keep at it for long though because, having made her point to her satisfaction, Sylvie let her go for another minute or so then stood up and stepped away unceremoniously, leaving Julia feeling bewildered and dirty inside in the crowded corner of the shower room.

————————————————————— 

Jean Grey approached the brunette beauty she’d bought at the auction, having already handed Wanda to the Queenpins for the shower. Folding her arms, Jean looked the naked psychic up and down.

“Um…hi…I guess” was the best Cassie could come up with, not really knowing how to go about starting things with the woman who bought her. 

"Hello" Jean said, pointing downwards to have her kneel in front of her. As Cassie kneeled, and began licking, The Phoenix took over. Cassie was a little taken aback by how direct she was but something about it was very…exciting. Did she foresee her superhero career resulting in her eating out a mutant terrorist? Of course not, but she was far more invested than she thought she’d be. The Phoenix found Cassie worked with surprising enthusiasm, and the celestial being moaned slightly despite herself, but that isn't why she rented her. No, she had better things to do with her. Without further ado, she put her fingers to her temple and reached into her mind.

Cassie felt a sensation like talons pressing into her head, then heat consuming her body. It clawed its way into her mind and while at first she tried to resist, she actively chose to let her in.

Cassie’s body seemed to have a mind of its own, enthusiastically licking “Jean’s” sex, as she mentally sank deeper and deeper into the void until she was lost in eternity, floating in a black void, next to a giant fiery bird. The Phoenix. Cassie could do little but stare in supreme terror at how little she felt in comparison to the terrible and magnificent flaming celestial being before her. 

"You see the threads of time and fate. Past and future, they meet in you. I sensed it the moment you arrived here." The Phoenix spoke in a voice unlike any other. 

Thin distorted strands of the webs of time which stretched and weaved together for eternity in an incomprehensible net seemed to appear around them in response. It reminded Cassie of that experimental period back in college but even trippier.

"Intriguing..." The Phoenix touched the nearest thread to the future with her talon. She saw herself standing behind a bent over Cassie, one hand tightly groping her ass. Cassie reached down desperately for a bar of soap but turned to briefly face Jean with a subtle grin just before the dominant mutant queen shoved her against the wall and roughly turned her around. Their wet bodies touched under the hot stream of water and Cassie looked nervous. It was all so…frustratingly short-term. The Phoenix reached for another thread.

Next she saw Cassie posing seductively in her see-through dress as Officer Weaver took a picture. The Phoenix pulled back her talon again. "Do you ever see anything strategically useful?"

“Strategically useful? I can’t really control what I…” Cassie began to try to explain but stopped when suddenly hit with a vision. It was far, farther than any vision she’d had before. In a cell there were two women, one laying on her back while the other straddled atop her saying something Cassie couldn’t quite make out. Cassie’s body shook as it became clearer, the woman on top stroked the other’s knotted hair and Cassie was given a glimpse of her face as she slipped back. It was Natasha Romanoff. Natasha’s hand caressed down from the other woman’s hair, draped down her soft neck, and across her heaving chest until she gripped the zipper of her jumpsuit and pulled it open in one fluid motion. Her partner gasped softly, nodding, and spread her legs where Natasha quickly took her position between her thighs. It was as the Black Widow began that Cassie was finally able to see who Nat was with, The Scarlet Witch.

The Phoenix paused, her demeanour in both the physical work and the astral dreamscape shifting from one of mild interest to one of barely suppressed rage. "That is useful to know. You have done well." She said, removing her fingers from her temple, making the dream collapse back into reality in just a second, delivering Cassie back to the showers at a disorientingly fast pace.

“I’ve never looked that far before!” Cassie exclaimed excitedly, failing to read the room and see The Phoenix looked far from happy.

The Phoenix retreated to plot a suitably violent punishment for Wanda for an offence that hadn’t even happened yet. As Jean returned to control of her body, she looked down at Cassie and helped her up. "So, uh...I saw that..." she blushed a little. She hadn’t gotten to actually cum in a little over a week, having been taken over by The Phoenix each time she neared it. She was really starting to resent The Phoenix for showing up to steal her orgasms and then disappear immediately afterwards. "...Want to make your first vision come true?" 

“Yes!” Cassie said a little too quickly. “I mean uh sure yeah” she added in an attempt to play it off. Jean only nodded and then had her face the tiled wall, bending over. Jean groped her ass tenderly, just like the vision...

————————————————————— 

That only left Anya who, despite probably being the horniest of the lot, was the only one of the Arachnachicks who hadn’t been approached. Although she couldn’t understand it, a part of her found it disappointing. She began to fret that Shuri and Riri had entirely forgotten her. She let out a sigh of relief that she immediately wanted to take back when Echo shoved her and pointed her in the direction of them a little across the shower room; Shuri standing besides Riri nervously anticipating the arrival of their rented closet-case.

Approaching the princess and her girlfriend, Anya tried to play it cool. “Hey” she greeted. She felt self-conscious at first about being entirely naked in front of them, but that began to dissipate with the thought that they were equally undressed.  

"Hi." Shuri greeted back with a smile, handing her a bar of soap after applying it to herself. "Just so you know, we won't make you do anything you don't want to do here..."

“Yeah we’re here to help and stuff. Whatever you’d like” Riri added. 

“Thank you” Anya clumsily took the bar of soap in hand. “I mean I don’t want to do anything…but if I had to do something, solely because you paid for me, I guess I wouldn’t mind being open to the idea of maybe starting with you both washing me?”

Shuri grinned. "Thought you might say that." she said, and began rubbing shampoo into Anya’s hair from behind, standing close enough to gently press against her back, while Riri soaped up her breasts.

Just the mere sensation of Riri touching her breasts was overwhelming in the best way possible to the poor totally-not-a-lesbian. She went weak in the knees, positively ready to jump out of her skin, as the two incredibly attractive women began to wash her. Shuri moved her under the shower to rinse her hair and whispered: "Anything else you'd like?"

Anya tensed, having trouble expressing what she wanted to say.“M-Maybe one of you could do something…down there” she was incredibly uncomfortable trying to explain what she wanted.

Shuri looked to Riri, knowing that prison bitch etiquette required her to get permission from her mommy before performing oral on someone else. Permission was granted with a nod as Riri  took Shuri’s place behind Anya, continuing to gently massage her breasts. 

Anya moaned quite loudly as Shuri got down on her knees, and began giving her the best cunnilingus she's ever had (Granted, Shuri only had one competitor, but still). Entranced by the sensation, Anya slid against Riri’s soft body, her chest against her back, and felt her give her ass a squeeze. She had no time to linger on that though because Shuri worked enthusiastically, hoping to get her to cum quickly. And quickly cum she did come, because, feeling just about ready to collapse, Anya reached a climax fast (maybe a little embarrassingly so). 

Juices dripping down her face, Shuri still did not cease. A few times they went, Anya completely entranced, before at last she gave permission for Shuri to stop. Pulling back, and standing up in front of Anya with a smirk, Shuri asked: "How was that...Learn anything about yourself?"

The long pause in response was answer enough that Anya was still in the process of processing something. 

“It was…It…” Anya was at a complete loss for words. Then at that moment, like a flash of lightning, it dawned on her that she’d never felt this way before with any of the, admittedly, few men she’d been with. It finally clicked into place and she muttered “…I think I might be into women”

Riri shot Shuri a look that said ‘took her long enough’ while the princess clapped her hands in mock celebration.

"Glad we could help you figure it out." Shuri said, gently teasing her, but genuinely happy to have helped her work through that. She could certainly relate, it had been a surprise to her after meeting Riri after all. 

————————————————————— 

The long day came to a close with the inmates being taken back to their cells. The doors all across the cellblocks shut tight and the mechanical locks activated with a subtle click, the weary prisoners climbed into their terrible beds knowing tomorrow would be just as exhausting, and then the lights all dimmed.

Cassie went to bed naked, as her dress was very uncomfortable to sleep in. She laid on the bottom bunk, pressed against Karen Page, and thought about the Phoenix. Her overwhelming presence in her mind was like nothing she’d ever experienced. Somehow the thought of an overwhelming dominant presence put her mind to Officer Weaver...and she drifted to sleep dreaming (prophetically) of modelling various outfits for the guard’s camera.

Julia lay in bed with Shriek, unable to sleep as the serial killer tiredly stroked her tits. Staring at the bottom of the bunk above them, all Julia could do was wonder what lesbian horrors tomorrow had in store. The taste of Sylvie’s (as well as Olivia, Shriek, and even Anya’s) cum still haunted her, as did the thought that she’d have to taste it again tomorrow…and the next day…and the next…

Mattie went to bed feeling better than she did the previous night. Her body was pressed against Vanessa Fisk's. Vanessa in her uniform, Mattie naked. Vanessa the dominant Mafia Donne (Do they call it that when it's a lady Don? Like Dom and Domme? Anyway...) Mattie the owned prison property, but all the same...she felt safe in her arms. Thanks to a deal with Officer Weaver for a cell transfer (in exchange for posing in the prison calendar shoot), the Nazi bitches no longer had Mattie as their pet "racial inferior" to torment, so that was nice.

Anya laid on the floor, Silver Sable had kicked her off the bed after tiring of her toy for the night, and followed how her mind reeled with thoughts of what to do with her newfound understanding of her sexuality; the seemingly limitless possibilities now that she was in the most-sapphic environment imaginable. It all seemed so clear now. Thinking of her time with Shuri and Riri in the showers, her hand slipped down the front of her jumpsuit and she closed her eyes. Drifting off to sleep, she dreamed of her brilliant new reality. 

Chapter 19: Visiting Hours

Chapter Text

It was a new day in The Raft. In just twenty-four hours word had spread to each and every gang across the prison that the legendary Captain Marvel was severely weakened in a fight. Although the underfunded staff of the infirmary did their best to filter who came in, a good number of spies did manage to sneak in and catch a glimpse of the wounded Carol Danvers just to confirm the rumour was really true. There was concern an assassin may be sent to eliminate her while she was unconscious but a simple solution was found by the head guard. Any visitors would have to undergo a full-body search before being allowed permission to enter. 

 

Valkyrie had been one who underwent the unpleasant process just to see Carol. They’d met long ago and had once been something, but that didn’t last and they’d long since gone their separate ways. Was it technically Carol’s fault that they broke up because she had commitment issues? Yes. But deep down Valkyrie still cared for her, if not romantically than at least a friend…for now. She zipped up her jumpsuit as the guard stepped back and she dutifully walked down the long hall of beds to one in the back. The curtain was already drawn open and Valkyrie could see the battered and beaten Carol lying fast asleep. Although she now had several bandaged wounds, none were as obvious as the one that required a makeshift eye patch to cover. 

 

Valkyrie felt her heart hurt at the sight of Carol in this position and sat down next to the bed, carefully sliding her hand into Carol’s and squeezing it. 

 

“Hey Marv. I’m here.” She didn’t want to wake Carol, but at the same time, seeing her awake would really help her be less worried. And she wanted to talk with her. 

 

The sound of the curtain moving made Valkyrie look up into the eyes of the head doctor of the infirmary, Dr. Faiza Hussain. Tall and proper, the doctor wore a hijab that framed her tan face and compassionate eyes. It was well known by most inmates that Dr. Faiza was one of, if not the only, staff member who actually cared about the well-being of the prisoners. She nodded as a greeting, then looked back at Carol worriedly. 

 

“Is she okay?” She asked the doctor without taking her eyes off the patient. “I mean, like, relatively.”

 

“I don’t really know, to be honest.” The doctor answered truthfully in her English accent. “I tried my best with what they gave me, but the eye cannot be saved. I am still trying to find out if there is any neurological damage.”

 

“Can I do anything?” Valkyrie asked hurriedly, the uncertain prognosis scaring her. 

 

“You could get me some water.” Carol croaked weakly, apparently having woken up due to their hushed conversation. 

 

Valkyrie looked excitedly at the now awake Carol and immediately left to fetch her water. Upon returning she opened the bottle and aimed to help Carol drink some. Meanwhile, the doctor went to check on Carol’s vitals and pumped another dose of painkillers into her system. She was not really allowed to give painkillers unless absolutely necessary, but she knew Carol would be in immense pain without them. As she was the head doctor, and one of the few people here with actual, real medical knowledge, she could easily cheat the system to her needs. 

 

Carol licked her dry lips and settled back against the pillow. She felt woozy, her head heavy with bandages. Valkyrie’s face looked incredibly bright in the weird, fluorescent lighting of the infirmary and she had to giggle a little bit at how beautiful she looked. 

“Heyy..” She said, eyeing the doctor with one eye, checking what she was doing to her, before looking back at Valkyrie. Carol was still incredibly out-of-it from the painkillers.“Whatya doing here?”

 

“I came here to check on you,” Valkyrie replied. Technically Sylvie had sent her seeking confirmation, but Valkyrie would have come regardless. 

 

“Aw. That’s nice. I think I’m okay, Just, my eye is gone.” The realisation didn’t really hit Carol yet, but obviously this would impair her for the rest of her life. From the corner of her view she saw Dr. Faiza depart. 

 

“To me you look even more like a battle-hardened warrior” Valkyrie tried to compliment. Being a Norse warrior, horrific wounds were often something to revere as glorious marks of battles survived. 

 

“I could be like a pirate if I ever get out of here.” Carol chuckled sadly. “Or at least look like Thor’s dad.”

 

“Odin” Valkyrie answered. 

 

“Yeah, him.” Carol waved her hand dismissively. “I assume the whole prison knows what happened?”

 

“It’s been the topic of today for basically everyone. People are surprised that it happened at all, but even more confused on who did this to you”

 

“It was Jean and her muties.” Carol answered truthfully. “It was revenge for me punching Wanda in the face.” 

 

Valkyrie hardly looked surprised at the culprit. “How do you plan on retaliating?” her mind immediately jumped to battle.  

 

“God, I don’t know. I feel like everyone is looking at me for answers or what I’ll do. I think I could use some guidance.” Admitting this out loud was out of character for her, but Carol trusted Valkyrie enough to not take advantage of her weakness.

 

Valkyrie had been king of Asgard for a time, a task that came with responsibilities similar to the ones Carol faced. Even then she’d found the job to be beyond what she cared for, that’s why she had quickly relinquished control to Sylvie in prison, but she’d also never been attacked and lost an eye over punching someone’s girlfriend. She felt like she could do little to counsel her friend, but she tried. “I think you need to rally your allies quickly. I’ve heard what people are saying and it’s not looking good. They know you can be beaten and it seems like every murderer with a shiv fancies herself able to kill you. This is a time to decide who is most loyal in your court because the others will probably try to take your position”

 

Carol’s shoulders slumped. “Great.” She did not handle the responsibility of being a leader well, rather focusing on what the others in her gang wanted, but in this moment they needed her to show up for real. 

 

“You’re loyal to me, right?” She asked Valkyrie honestly.

 

“Of course” Valkyrie said immediately. She knew that if ever her loyalties were divided between her queen, Sylvie, and Carol she would always pick Carol. 

 

“Good. I need you to convince Sylvie to stand with me.” Carol knew it was a big ask especially given her compromised position, but it was important. “And I will talk to Wanda.”

 

“Is talking to her a euphemism for shoving a shiv into her chest or…?” Valkyrie currently believed that this was just as much Wanda’s fault as it was Jean’s. 

 

Carol smiled. “Maybe.” She then slowly shook her head. “As great as that sounds, that probably won’t help. I need to know more information. Maybe Jean has a weakness. Besides Wanda of course. And if I don’t find out anything, I can always just blast her face off. I can still aim with one eye.” 

 

Valkyrie chuckled at Carol’s fiery spirit. “Yes I will talk to Sylvie and try to get her to help. Shouldn’t be that hard to convince the goddess of mischief to be loyal to someone” she said with clear sarcasm. 

 

Tightly squeezing Valkyrie’s hand, Carol smiled gratefully. “Thank you for being by my side. Literally and figuratively. I won’t forget it”

 

Valkyrie stayed with Carol for half an hour before departing with the important task of assuring Sylvie Laufeydottir’s allegiance to the Galaxy Gals. She wasn’t sure how she’d react. The Goddess of Mischief was always unpredictable. After Valkyrie left, Carol settled back down on her pillows, the short interaction already having exhausted her. Her face prickled and she pressed the bandage with her hand. 

 

A figure loomed from the shadows of the curtains that had once again been drawn for privacy, and with her sight blurred Carol assumed it was just Valkyrie coming back or maybe the head nurse here to give her more meds. When the figure approached closer however, their face became clearer. The extremely long dark brown hair with streaks of red curtaining the face with big green eyes were undeniably recognisable as Wanda Maximoff.

 

Carol immediately froze up and sat up against her pillows, the movement making her body sting. She tried to look around for a weapon, but this was obviously a hospital and nothing of such nature was present. 

 

Wanda approached her bed almost shyly, her hands wringing together, giving her already somewhat creepy demeanour something shy and that in return made her even scarier. Carol opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water, not sure if this was a moment to say her last words or if staying quiet was more dignified. Ultimately she hardeemed her face in bold defiance. 

 

“Hello.” Wanda said quietly in her strong Sokovian accent. 

 

Carol furrowed her brow and looked at her with surprise. “Hi?”

 

“I came to…” The witch noticed the other’s discomfort and took a step back. “I came to apologise to you. “

 

“Huh?” Carol could not keep the surprised sound from coming out of her mouth. Maybe she had misheard, and ‘apologise’ was actually ‘murder’.

 

Wanda’s eyes filled with tears unexpectedly. “I did not want her to do this. I…I’m so sorry.” She lunged forward, grabbing Carol’s hand, which made the blonde make an uncertain sound. “I don’t know what to do. She keeps doing these things for me but I don’t want her to do that. She..she is horrible." Wanda’s tears streamed fully down her hollow cheeks. “I am stuck in this situation…this relationship…and people keep getting hurt because of it.”

 

What the fuck was happening right now? Carol could not believe her eyes at The Scarlet Witch, one of the most powerful beings in this universe, crying at her bedside because her prison relationship was toxic. On top of that, she somehow felt like she should comfort her?

 

She slowly pulled her hand back from the brunette’s cold ones and tucked them under the blanket. “Listen, I don’t know why you’re here, but I’m not going to comfort you. I’m missing a fucking eye because of you”

 

Wanda’s nose was leaking onto Carol’s blankets and she nodded, tears dripping with the movement. “Of course. I-I’m sorry.” She stepped back and played with her hands nervously. “I understand why you hit me. I should not have threatened Monica. I am sorry for that. But I swear to you that I did not ask her to do all this. I wanted..I just want to stop all this fighting.” She looked at the other’s face. “How is your…how is your eye? Is it bad?”

 

“It’s not going to regrow.” Carol said bitterly. She did feel bad for Wanda, if she viewed the situation from an outsider perspective. But she would never comfort her or accept her apology. 

 

“Oh…” Wanda’s face fell even more. “I wish I could do something.”

 

Carol’s anger threatened to overflow. “I’ll tell you what you can do. You can march out of this room and leave me in peace, and you can talk to your ‘girlfriend’ and tell her to stop hurting others. And you should fucking stop crying and stop being such a pussy. C’mon! You’re the Scarlet Witch. You could rule this place if you weren’t so mentally fucked up and scared of everything. Man up man!” She spat.

 

Wanda sniffled, but seemed to take the words to heart. “You are right.” She nodded slowly.

 

“I know I’m right. You deserve better, and I can’t believe I’m saying that. Just please fucking leave me and my gang alone.” Carol’s voice broke at the last words, the tiredness and the pain and the heightened emotions of the day getting the best of her. She angrily wiped her good eye with the back of her hand and looked away from the pathetic crying witch in front of her. “Go away, please.” Wanda didn’t say another word but Carol could hear her leave the room. 

 

————————————————————— 

 

Valkyrie marched down Cell Block A with determination before pausing just outside her destination. From the sounds emanating from within she knew she should probably give it a moment before she delivered a serious conversation. She poked her head around the corner and she saw a rather ordinary sight coming from Sylvie. The Goddess of Mischief sat atop her bed gently moaning as Jane Foster kneeled on the ground, face nuzzled against her prison mommy’s sex, lapping away with quick sensual motions. Jane had grown well accustomed to the task by now and pleasured her queen vigilantly. As the tip of Jane’s tongue flicked against Sylvie's clit, she rolled her head back in ecstasy and stretched her legs further apart, resting one atop Jane’s shoulder and the other leg bent with her arm hanging over her knee.

 

Sylvie was not a cruel goddess by any means, but deep down like all Lokis she demanded a level of worship. In prison this was merely the natural order of things. The strong were burdened to  protect the weak and in return the weak offered what they could. Opening her eyes slowly while letting out gentle gasps of ecstasy, she noticed Valkyrie peering from beyond the bars and silently bid her enter. 

 

Valkyrie nodded and did as commanded. 

 

“Want a turn with her?” Sylvie nonchalantly asked her friend while Jane didn’t bother stopping her task to see who was present. She knew better than to disappoint her queen. 

 

Valkyrie considered it but nodded no. “Not right now. I just got back from meeting with Carol”

 

“...Did you now?” Sylvie’s breaths hitched raggedly. “Is it true that they really just…oh fuck…uhh cut out her eye?” 

 

“It is. Are you sure you wouldn’t prefer to discuss this after you’re…done?” Valkyrie asked hesitantly.

Sylvie tilted her head back and came with a loud moan before looking back at Valkyrie, ecstatic bliss painted on her fair jotnar face. “...Nope. Tell me what she said” she said as she brushed aside a strand of her knotted blonde hair and then resolved to simply put her hair up in a bun. 

 

Jane waited for permission to stop, which she was granted, and so she stood up and walked besides Valkyrie. 

 

“Well, first it seems Jean Grey was the one who attacked her on behalf of Wanda” Valkyrie began relaying all the important details of their conversation, minus the more personal bits. Sylvie nodded along, fully focused on each word. 

“She wants to know if we’ll stand by her when they retaliate against the Sisterhood”

 

“Sure!” Sylvie grinned, not giving it a moment's thought. She’d been in a gang war once before, during a brief stay in Stormcage Prison in the 31st century before the building was reduced to rubble by an apocalyptic scale hurricane. It was pretty fun. She wasn’t against doing it again. 

 

“...So I can tell her yes?” Valkyrie wanted to make sure Sylvie was being serious. 

 

Sylvie rolled her eyes in annoyance, “I don’t know what else sure would mean. I know you two fancy each other so yeah you have my solemn oath or whatever”

 

“We do not-” Valkyrie sputtered. “This is a strategic move, nothing else.”

 

“Right. I’m not going to argue with The King of Asgard but it’s hardly subtle. It is strategic…to have you and the leader of another gang be so close” Sylvie smiled, satisfied with her own twist on Valkyrie's words.

 

“Why are you like this?” Valkyrie mumbled. She was glad Sylvie wanted to help, but why was this mockery necessary?

 

Sylvie knew she’d won so she shifted the topic. “So how is Carol?”

 

“She’s okay, I suppose. Bit worse for wear. Her eye is fucked.” Thinking about Carol laying all alone in the infirmary made her want to return immediately and be by her side.

 

“What do you think happened to the eye that isn’t there anymore?” Sylvie asked randomly. 

 

Valkyrie did not really want to think about it. “I hope nothing.”

 

Sylvie sighed, struggling to think of how exactly to console her. “Are you sure you don’t want to borrow Jane?” Her idea of helping was unorthodox to say the least. 

 

“I appreciate the offer, but I’m not really in the mood. I think I’m just going to have an early night.”

 

“Fine” Sylvie said and rose to a stand. She had previously been on Valkyrie’s bed…

Chapter 20: Incarceration 101

Chapter Text

 

Jessica Jones laid in utter silence in the dreary midnight solitude of her place on the bottom bunk. Toss and turn as Jessica might, she found it completely impossible to sleep. One might think her six-hour stint in the mines would have helped in her ability to sleep just from the sheer mental and physical exhaustion, but all she felt really was the aching of her limbs. She hadn’t realised before incarceration just how much her superior strength made her life easier. 

 

Resting her head atop her arm, Jessica stared at the metallic base of the bunk above her for hours as her mind raced over every pang of guilt and anxiety she could possibly feel. Each and every emotion sent her hurtling deeper into a despair that only a bottle of the cheapest bourbon could remedy. Well either a drink, or the first willing guy she could find in a bar. She remembered the sudden endorphinal thrill she had being leaned against the wall of a graffitied-out bathroom stall while the man behind her (who’s names she always forgot a minute after they told her) fucked her hard. 

Silently and without thought, Jessica slowly peeled the zipper of her jumpsuit open and without much thought her hand reached the top of her underwear. She strayed gently against the itchy white material before resolving to go on. Her mind once again drifted towards experiences she would never have again: the night in the blind lawyer’s apartment, the experience in the back of the Starbucks, that time in Josie’s Bar. Memories of each only convinced her to push on, confident she could keep quiet in the blackness of light’s out as she shoved her hand inside her prison-panties. Instinctively her legs spread slightly, and she grazed her hand down through her matted black pubic bush. Inserting a finger into her already wet sex, she gasped as it brushed against her clit. She kept going down and in one motion slipped another of her fingers inside of herself and felt her pussy clench up around it.

Jessica pulled her fingers up higher, and rubbed her now lubricated fingers against herself. Overwhelmed, she began concentrating on her breathing, doing her best to keep it regular and quiet while concentrating on the rough details of previous experiences. Her left hand strayed to her nipples where she pinched herself hard. Massaging her chest while her right hand worked quickly on her clit, she could already feel an orgasm building.

Her body tensed at the thought of being pegged and she pictured the whole thing in vivid detail. Running once more against her clit in a slippery pass, her back arched and a low moan escaped her breath-taken lips followed by only silence. She couldn’t bear to imagine the living hell being in a women’s prison was going to be. Maybe she could get ahold of a strap-on. She’d manage to get a drink after-all. 

Her pace doubled as she sunk more and more into the feeling, until, at last, she could feel herself nearing upon the verge of release. It was just as Jessica teetered over the climactic precipice that something pierced the silence of the cell like a knife and forced her to a sudden stop, killing any sexual feelings she’d had. 

Trish’s voice from above groggily groaned: “If the bottom bunk moves, the top bunk moves too. It’s physics” before turning over and covering her ears with her pillow. 

Jessica rolled her eyes, admittedly slightly embarrassed that Trish had been awake through the process, and withdrew her hand from her crotch. She was used to catching pervs in the middle of sexual acts, not the other way around. It was going to be a long night…

Jessica wasn’t sure when she’d fallen asleep precisely, but it definitely wasn’t enough to leave her feeling well-rested. She really was more of the “sleep for 11-13 hours after downing 5-7 bottles and blacking out” type of person. During what little sleep she had gotten, she’d had to endure the usual recurring nightmares…with a few new elements thrown in. At least Kilgrave was happy about her new living situation. Enough so that even the horrific act of snapping his neck didn’t wipe the usual narcissistic smirk off his face. 

Groaning, Jessica managed to toss her blanket off and get herself out of bed by the time Trish had already washed up and got herself waiting by the bars. Just like the previous morning, no words were spoken by the sisters. For better or worse, the silence didn’t remain unbroken because they did speak as the day progressed. But the burden of awkwardness had not been lifted in the slightest in the twenty-four hours since their discussion in the yard. Being cellmates definitely didn’t help. Probably made worse by the fact that Trish brought up the fact that it was Jessica's fault she was in prison at any given opportunity. 

Actually, Jessica decided she might have preferred Trish’s guilt-trips to what her adopted-sister said when they returned to their shared cell because the proposition left the moody private detective uttering a disgusted: “You want me to do what?” 

“C’mon it’s not that big of a deal. If you’re going to be my cellmate you need to get comfortable with at least helping me. I can’t have two of these without looking too suspicious. Now shove the bag of drugs down your underwear” Trish replied, taking two baggies full of an orangish-red powder from underneath her pillow and shoving one down the back of her underwear and then handing the other bag to Jessica. 

Jessica looked no less disgusted now that hiding drugs against (thankfully not in) her butt had come into play. “And your buyer isn’t concerned about where you’re hiding these?”

 

“Speaking as a drug addict, no addict is thinking ‘oh hey let me make sure the drugs I’m about to snort are sanitary.’ Besides, my ass is clean” Trish pressed, pushing the bag into Jessica’s hand. 

 

Jessica took the bag. “We showered two days ago…”

 

“Ok well relatively clean.” Trish rolled her eyes. Right on cue she added: “And whose fault is it that I don't have the freedom to shower everyday? Oh right, yours.”

 

Jessica crossed her arms and made a flat expression in an attempt to conceal the sting of the comment made. “I’m not helping you smuggle drugs” she said firmly. 

 

Trish zipped up her uniform. “Remember that favour we talked about before? Well it’s really more of a deal. You’re going to help me do my job, and I’m going to get you whatever booze is smuggled in”

 

Jessica gave Trish a disapproving glare but promptly undid her jumpsuit and hid the bag where told. She knew that she objectively had made the wrong decision, but she also couldn’t bear the idea of enduring prison life sober. What was one more category of wrongs in a long list of deeds she felt guilt over?

 

“Alright, we have a few stops to make today so keep the conscience shit to a minimum” Trish said, stepping out of the cell and knowing Jessica would follow. She could feel her sister’s eyes on her as they walked towards their first stop. 

 

Once more entering the yard, Jessica wondered how it managed to feel like the space was even more crowded today than it had been on days previous. The whole place smelled of cigarettes and sweat, although that wasn’t particularly all too dissimilar to a lot of the places Jessica frequented back in New York. Even the sex-trade, with various inmates willingly in (or more often, forced into) states of undress to show off their bodies to potential customers, was reminiscent of the various times Jessica had gone to red-light districts and strip-clubs for work (no, not like that). It was as they passed a table to the right that Jessica took a moment of pause, recognising one of the women standing atop it. Standing to the right with her jumpsuit tied around her waist was the blue alien, Nebula, Jessica had arrived at The Raft with. It was clear from her domineering stance that Nebula wasn’t one of the poor women being sold, but instead the one selling one. From behind, her hands cupped Bereet’s small pink tits - not that the Krylorian seemed to mind much. 

 

“That was fast” Jessica mused on Nebula’s speedy taking to things without much behind her tone. It was doubtlessly disturbing, but she’d come to expect that. 

 

“Yeah. I wonder how much she’ll make off her” Trish pondered in return, receiving yet another glare. “What? It happened to me before and I’m doing fine” Regardless of it had happened to her (it actually had) she would have said it did just to shut Jessica up. It worked because they didn’t say a word to each other for the five minutes it took to find the first client.

 

On a bench towards the back sat her buyer having an inaudible conversation with the woman besides her. Swooping back her golden blonde hair, the buyer looked up and Jessica couldn’t stop herself from asking in bewilderment: “Aren’t you-”

 

“Dazzler? Yeah” The buyer finished for her. It was only the millionth time she’d heard that question and she looked bored of it. Turning to Trish, the pop-star asked: “Do you have the stuff?”

 

Trish nodded. “Well she has them actually…” she said, roughly nudging Jessica in the arm until she complied. Scowling, Jessica unzipped her uniform just low enough to reach her arm down and retrieve the bag of drugs from her underwear. The act in itself was weird, but having a world-famous celebrity watch her really magnified things. 

 

“How gross. You’re hiding it there ?” the woman who was practically clinging to Dazzler finally spoke. It was only then that Jessica really noticed her presence and realised she recognised the woman. It was the obnoxious influencer from intake, Titania. She’d yet to leave Dazzler’s side since they met, being the most uncomfortably close fan imaginable. When she wasn’t asking for any and all gossip Dazzler may know she was ranting about how much she hated She-Hulk. The extent of how much mental energy she devoted to the emerald giantess was astounding. Jessica figured she understood now why the pop-star needed the drugs. 

 

Jessica ignored Titania’s exaggerated revulsion and simply handed the object over. “Thank you” Dazzler said earnestly, evidently in dire need, and started to hand Trish the amount of cigarettes the bag was worth before being stopped. Jessica noted that the woman seemed startlingly nice and well spoken, making the company she had even more questionable.

 

“Half a pack? Yeah we’re so not paying that much” Titania interjected, inserting herself into a deal that really didn’t concern her at all. Dazzler gave her a look that said ‘shut up’ but Titania didn’t stop. Rising to a stand, the spoiled-brat of a superhuman asserted: “Half the price”

 

“No full price is fine actually” Dazzler quickly tried. Somehow Titania was managing to make the relief from her presence a stressful ordeal. She pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly.

 

Titania only smirked. “Trust me, queen, I got this”

 

Trish chuckled. “Yeah we’re not doing that”. It seemed she had a lot of experience with this sort of behaviour, because she was unwavering and calm.

 

“Just pay the fucking price.” Jessica added, feeling far less patient. Titania was drawing out what Jess had decided was going to be a miserable day. Plus, she somehow felt embarrassed in front of Dazzler and also Trish, since this was her first prison drug deal.

 

Titania smirked. “Look, I get your whole emo tough-slut vibe and, just bein’ real here, it’s pathetic. Now half the price for my BFF Alison.” In her own strange bullying way, Titania was at least unhelpfully sticking up for Dazzler. Although Dazzler very clearly didn’t want (or need) her help. 

 

In an instant Jessica punched the wall. “I’m going to shove that pack of cigarettes so far up your ass that you cough it up if you don’t sit back down.” 

 

The threat was enough to make Titania gulp and do as told, not uttering another word in fear of the possibility Jessica was actually serious. Dazzler paid Trish the pack and a half, winked at them, and then the sisters went on their way to the next stop on their list. 

 

The next stop brought them to Cellblock D where the client was already waiting. She was a woman with ginger hair thats messy strands framed her half-painted white face. She wore what remained of her tattered jumpsuit, its gaps exposing various gnarly scars all along her body (some from injuries she’d obtained, and others self-inflicted). 

 

Without a word, Trish undid her jumpsuit and fetched the drugs before entering the cell. Going by the sleep-deprived anxious look on her client’s face, the drugs were either going to be a small relief or make things exponentially worse. Either way Trish got paid. “That’ll be the usual price” Trish said. 

 

“Hey. Who’s your new friend?” The timid voice was unexpected. Soft and innocent, it was completely dissonant from the woman it belonged to: Mary Walker, aka Typhoid Mary, a serial-murderess and gun for hire. She was currently seven years deep into a sentence that made sure she never again saw the light of day as a free woman.

 

“My sister. She’s new” Trish replied casually. Jessica felt entirely separate from the conversation. 

 

“Nice to meet you. My name’s Mary.” The woman held out her hand for Jessica to shake…which Jessica completely ignored. “Why is she not shaking my hand, Patsy?” Mary looked deeply upset, the muscles in her face tensing. 

 

Trish opened her mouth, but Mary immediately interrupted her. Like a light had been switched inside, her whole demeanour changed. It was like she’d instantly become an entirely different person. Likely because that is precisely what happened. “Why is this whore not shaking my hand? Take my hand, whore!” The woman was positively screeching. 

 

“What the fuck?” Jessica groaned at Mary’s sudden outburst, looking at her with apathetic confusion. It was enough to make the detective take a concerned step back. 

 

Trish tensed, but knew that dealing with Mary meant having to handle her mood swings. It turned out selling drugs to someone with diagnosed Multiple Personality Disorder was confusing. Who would have thought. “She’s a bit of a bitch” Trish shrugged, trying to play it cool.

 

Without any indication, Mary got up from the bunk she was sitting on and charged at Jessica. She grabbed her neck with surprising strength. 

 

Jessica’s eyes went wide and she choked at the sudden pressure upon her throat. She didn’t have any time to react before she was pinned against the wall. Briefly breaking contact with her attacker’s maddened eyes, she noticed that Trish was doing absolutely nothing to help pry her off. Go figure. 

 

“You’re going to be my new plaything” Mary grinned widely, too widely. “I’m going to carve my name into your body with a shiv and then I’ll make you eat out my sweaty cunt. When that’s done I’ll pierce your septum myself and then drag you along with it while I sell you for cigarettes to whole groups at a time. Your goth whore ass is gonna make me rich.” she continued to threaten as her nails dug deep into Jess’ neck.

 

Jessica seized up with a sudden terror as she felt her heart race until it felt like it was going to burst. She gasped for air but she couldn’t breath. This was more than just a reaction to being choked. It was an ingrained terror of once more being forced into sexual servitude. Doing whatever she could to escape, she summoned all of her limited energy and she managed to shove Mary off and punch her in the face. Tumbling against the wall with blood trickling down her nose, Mary only looked more insane. “Mmm hit me again” She said in a sensual moan.

 

“Oh yeah I should probably tell you she’s a masochist” Trish unhelpfully added from her place leaned against the bars. 


“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me” Jessica exclaimed. 

 

Mary nodded in agreement. “It’s true. Every time you hit me you’re just making me wet” she said vulgarly in a sing-song voice.

 

Jessica hesitated to hit Mary again. Her desire to punch her again was overruled by the revolting image of bringing Mary to climax.  “Well what do I do with her?” she angrily asked, getting just a shrug from Trish. 

 

Weakly Mary attempted to rise to a stand. “Just keep the hits comin’. Or is that too gay for you, tough girl?” She asked in a mocking tone which made Jessica grab her by her hair and shove her face-first against the wall. It was exactly what Mary wanted. “There you go. When this is over I’m gonna bite your cli-” her forehead was thrust against the wall with enough force to knock her unconscious. 

 

Trish pushed herself off the wall, impressed with what just went down. “Wow. Nice work. I should hire you as my bodyguard.” She patted Jessica’s shoulder approvingly. “We’ve just got a few more stops. Maybe try not to fight them though”

 

“No” Jessica spoke distantly, stepping back from the knocked out Mary in a haze. She didn’t feel bad for beating the woman unconscious (not in the slightest in fact), but something else was on her mind. “You can handle whatever shit you’ve got planned by yourself. I’m done”

 

“What? You’re not out” Trish said calmly, mostly focused on the task at hand as she flipped Mary’s mattress and claimed her fee (plus a little extra for the trouble caused).

Jessica stared daggers at her sister. “What part of ‘you can handle this shit yourself’ didn’t you hear?”

 

Trish still wasn’t entirely listening, but dismissed her with a simple: “Ok well enjoy withdrawal” 

 

Jessica could feel the fury from her fight bubbling inside, brewing to make a return. She couldn’t withstand withdrawal in her current environment and Trish knew that. Jessica felt no different than the women she saw being sold in the yard, except instead of sex Trish was going to make her continue playing whatever fucked-up revenge game this was while dangling the promise of feeding her addiction in front of her face. Did she deserve it? Jessica certainly believed so, but the fact that they were sisters did make it feel particularly painful. Without the means to genuinely express what she really felt, Jessica focused on the easiest thing to be mad about. “Why the fuck did you just stand there and watch me get attacked?!” she ragefully asked. 

 

“I knew you could handle things. Besides, Mary’s all talk…sometimes” Trish replied. 

 

“Bullshit. I’m lucky she wouldn’t shut up or she would have killed me.” Jessica actually kind of wished Mary had succeeded now that she said that out loud. 

 

Trish rolled her eyes and then looked up at the fuming Jessica. “What do you think it was like for me when you turned me in? I don’t remember you being around to swoop in and save me every time I got groped, beaten, or sold.” she still spoke in a collected demeanour, but that thought had festered for a tormentful seven years. “If you want out that’s fine, but don’t start on whatever crap you have to say about me not helping you just now”

 

Trish stood up and crossed her arms. “I’m getting really tired of going back and forth with you on this. Do you want in on the deal or not? Oh and here” she pulled from the empty top bunk a plastic bottle filled with smuggled in Scotch. “You and Mary have the same shit taste in alcohol by the way”

 

Not knowing what to say, Jessica gave her answer by taking the bottle and downing it. She was going to need to be forever-drunk to do her new job. 


Quickly getting more drugs to sell off a woman calling herself White Rabbit (Jessica found the name a little obvious and said as much) they continued. The next two deals, one to some blonde new-agey girl and the other to Jean Grey, both went smoothly. On their way to the next stop, Trish turned to Jessica and said: “Just so you know, you pull the drugs out of your jumpsuit only when next to the client. Don’t ever do it out in the open, unless you like getting nabbed by guards”

 

“Thanks?” Jessica responded. 

 

“Oh and pretending to have sex with them actually is a great tactic. That way having someone reach into your underwear isn’t as suspicious” Trish added. 

 

“Seriously, what’s with the lesson?” Jessica brooded. 

 

Trish looked ahead and smirked to herself. “If we’re going to work together I need you to not screw things up. Sorry not sorry if me teaching you is annoying you, but welcome to Incarceration 101”

 

Jessica thought of making a snarky comment but she was too exasperated with Trish. “How much longer until the next drink?” she asked tiredly. 

 

“However long it takes me to find one. So maybe in the next ten minutes, or maybe next month. Somewhere in that range” Trish shrugged.

 

“Great” Jessica replied dully. 

 

They passed by another cell in a long row of cells where laboured moans emanated. It gave Trish an idea. “Lesson number two: in prison you learn to make do fast. Whether that’s surviving by doing what we’re doing now-”

 

“You annoying me while I pretend to listen?” Jessica interrupted 

 

“No. Shut up. Selling drugs. My point is that everyone here learns to adjust in order to survive somehow. Even the straightest of women miss the feeling of touch enough to be gay for the stay eventually. Judging by last night, you’ll be desperate in a week.” Trish spoke from a place of certainty. 

 

Jessica blushed ever so slightly. “I was trying to get comfortable” she lied. 

 

Trish only rolled her eyes. “Yeah and the magazine I bought off Rogue is about the latest innovations in Stark Industries”

 

They passed the threshold into the prison gym where Trish walked over and grabbed an orange mat that matched her jumpsuit. Ok this didn’t seem like work. “What are we doing?” Jessica asked, arms once again crossed. The whole room felt hot and muggy which gave the place a very similar vibe to the showers. Last time she was in this room Titania managed to get herself into a fight with She-Hulk during the welcome tour; not a great first impression. 

 

Trish set down her mat and started to stretch her limbs. “Well I’m exercising. Work’s done” 

 

“And you need me here for that why?” Jessica asked, annoyed. 

 

“Oh I don’t. You can go if you want. I don’t give a shit” Trish said simply while bending forwards and touching her toes. Yoga helped her relax after feeding the dire addictions of depressed prisoners for monetary (or shall I say cigarettary) gain. 

 

“That sounds about right” Jessica said flatly while giving her sister the middle finger. With work done she planned on going back to her cell and taking a nap. That seemed like the only interesting thing to do.

“Shush. Exercising” Trish silenced. 

 

Jessica paused and had to say: “Yoga isn’t exercising. It’s stretching-’ but was cut off by the loud and random approach of a familiar face. 

 

“Got you now, bitch!” Karli Morganthau yelled, lunging at Jessica in an attempted tackle. She’d had a rough go of things since her humiliating defeat in the showers and she was going to make up for that before Sin made her eat out half of Hydra again. She wouldn’t lose this time she told herself…and then was promptly punched in the chest. Crumbling to the floor, the amateaur Neo-Nazi pathetically tried (and failed) to get back up. 

 

Jessica didn’t bother with dealing with the girl again, but that didn’t mean that this was over. She took one step and then a voice came from the back: “So you’re the cunt she lost to. Yeah that adds up.” Jessica turned around to see Viper, Songbird, and Angel Dust facing her. 

 

“What is this? Crap on Jessica Day?” Jessica exclaimed in utter exhaustion. Maybe she’d be fortunate enough for them to just kill her. 

 

“That’s next month” Trish added while flowing into the next asana. 

 

Viper’s dark jade lips curled into a wicked smirk. Turning to Trish and then back to Jessica, the assassin asked: “That your girlfriend, faggot?” She was as politically correct as ever (not at all). 

 

Angel Dust cracked her knuckles. “She looks pretty masculine. We sure she's even a real woman?” 


Jessica looked at them with mild bewilderment, not even sure what to say. Should she start by commenting on their nazi tattoos, the random bigotry, or refuting that Trish was her girlfriend? She chose the latter. “She’s my sister”

Songbird’s eyes went wide. “Great, now this prison has incestrous transgender lesbians” she sounded genuinely horrified by the notion. There were two brain cells held by the trio of women and both of those cells belonged to Viper. 

 

Jessica would have laughed if she was the type to ever laugh. “It’s people like you who give people like you a bad name” she remarked. 

 

Viper didn’t say a word as she discreetly pulled her beloved shiv from her jumpsuit and approached Jessica, flanked by her subordinates. Songbird was the first to be in range of Jessica, and Jessica responded by throwing a punch which was stopped by Angel Dust’s remarkable strength. Before she could do much, Jessica was held down against the wall by the both of them while Viper raised the tip of her blade to Jessica’s chin.

“You’re going to do whatever we want or I’ll kill you” Viper threatened, pushing the jagged blade a little  more against Jessica’s flesh. 

 

Jessica flinched, but didn’t struggle against the shiv. “I feel like I’ve heard something along those lines a lot today”

 

Viper withdrew her blade and slapped Jessica across the face before holding her jaw open. “We’re going to put that mouth of yours to work…after I remove a tooth” She lifted the shiv to Jessica’s gums and prepared to cut when they were interrupted.

“Unhand the woman” ordered a voice belonging to Vanessa Fisk, the Queenpin of Crime herself. By her side were a few of her trusted lackeys, muscle in case things ever got out of hand, and her favourite personal slave. Vanessa looked disgusted to be present in the prison’s gym but she wanted to see Jessica for herself. She could have simply had Echo take the woman and have her bring her to her cell. 

 

“She’s ours” Songbird spat. 

 

Vanessa looked at the Hydra women with disinterest. “I want her. And I always get what I want. You can either give her to me…or I can have my girls take her off you by force” 



“Kike” Viper hissed. Looking at Jessica, she debated whether she preferred to incur the wrath of Sin or Vanessa. If anyone else had approached her she would have told them to fuck off, but gang leaders weren’t to be trifled with. “We’ll be back for her” she said with bitter hesitation. 

 

“I’m sure you will. Now go. There will be no second chance to leave” Vanessa said, and the Hydra women steadily backed off. 

 

Once they had slithered off, Jessica asked in a weary tone: “What the fuck do you want?”

 

Vanessa studied Jessica, the way the woman held herself. She practically screamed depressed alcoholic. “I’m fascinated by your strength, your brutality. Mary woke up from your assault on her-”

 

“She attacked me first” Jessica interrupted 

 

“I’m not here to discuss that matter. I’m here because I want you to work for me. I’ve been in need of a new enforcer ever since the last one betrayed me…” Vanessa slyly looked to the half-undressed Madame Masque at her side, the once skilled criminal mastermind was now her bitch. “...Mary wanted to kill you, but I am holding her off for now…under the condition you accept. Should you refuse I am certain she will enslave you, or worse, sooner or later. She’s remarkably persistent” 

 

“You want me to work for you?” Jessica asked in surprise. 

 

“Yes. Just name your price” Vanessa replied

 

Well there was no saying no. Jessica shrugged to push any morality out of mind. “My price is whatever you’ve got to drink” 

 

Vanessa nodded in agreement to the terms. “Your first task will be given tomorrow. Remember that failure to do it will make our deal void” 

 

————————————————————— 

 

Jessica sat across from Trish in the cafeteria, silently not-eating her dinner. She would have been in no mood to eat even if Wanda’s cooking didn’t taste like shit.

 

Holding the bottle of bourbon Vanessa had given her, she reflected on everything that had transpired in the last few hours. How could she agree to work for the wife of New York’s most infamous mobster? Maybe when it came down to it everyone threw out morality for self-preservation. ‘Lesson number two: in prison you learn to make do fast’ Trish’s second lesson. Jessica saw what she meant. Faintly, a man’s voice whispered into Jess’ ear: Orange really isn’t your colour.’ He was back. 

 

“You really should eat” Trish advised while taking a bite of the slop on her tray and promptly washing it down with water. Jessica ignored her. “Or just starve yourself”

 

Jessica opened the bottle of bourbon. “I'll be having a liquid dinner, thanks.”

 

“You ever think you might drink too much?” Trish asked in unison with the other voice. No response from Jessica. She was too busy caught up in a mental conversation to pay any attention

 

‘It's the only way I get through my goddamn days after what you did to me’ Jessica answered the man’s question. As if acknowledging him invited him in, she faintly imagined him sitting at the table too. A handsome slim man wearing a purple suit, Kilgrave smiled to himself. 

 

‘You blame me for your drinking problem?’ He asked in his English accent. 

 

‘It's the truth .’ Jessica cognitively replied. 

 

Kilgrave leaned back in his imaginary seat. ‘ Come on, it wasn't all bad. I mean, it certainly ended poorly but we did have some fun.’

 

‘You call me snapping your neck ‘ended poorly’? I call that a happy ending.’ Jessica was growing even more irritated. 

 

Kilgrave scoffed. ‘Whatever happened to the plucky and sanctimonious Jessica Jones? Now you’re all doom and gloom. I suppose I did create some problems for you…but does that really justify murder? Doesn’t it weigh on you? Doesn’t the feeling of my neck snapping in your hand still haunt you?’ 


‘No’ Jessica said flatly. 

 

‘I’m inside your head, Jessica. We both know that isn’t true. Why else don’t you sleep anymore? Don’t tell me it’s over sending you sister here. Quite frankly, she was loose a few marbles even before she killed those people.’ Kilgrave emerged behind her and brought himself close against her back. Leaning against her, his hot breath burned her skin. 

 

Jessica endured the memory of Kilgrave long enough. ‘Main Street…’

 

‘Here we go again…’ Kilgrave sighed

 

‘Birch Street…’

 

‘This never keeps me away for long. ’ Kilgrave wasn’t pleading for her to stop. He (or technically Jessica herself) knew there was no keeping him gone. 

 

‘Higgins Drive…’

 

Kilgrave smiled , accepting his temporary reprieve. ‘You know the prison you send me to in the pit of your mind each time you do this pales in comparison to the prison you’re in. I take a nap in your subconscious and you…you sell drugs and beat people unconscious. Which of us is the monster now?’

 

‘Cobalt Lane’ Jessica finished her chant and Kilgrave slowly vanished into a fog of purple like he had numerous times before. 

Chapter 21: Caged Lang - Part 1

Chapter Text

Cassie Lang had been having a pretty good year. She turned 18, graduated from high school, and was successfully balancing a superhero career and love life as she prepared to start college in the fall. She was a sweet girl who loved to help people, but that's unfortunately what got the better of her. Just last week, she'd finally been caught by the police while helping some orphans escape a burning building, and thanks to the Sokovia Accords' rules, now found herself being shipped off to the Raft where she'd start her indefinite sentence. The soon to be college student with a bright future and loving boyfriend (who she was considering asking to take her virginity) was now a prisoner, and a terrified one at that as she was led to intake.

Whether fortunate or not, she wasn’t the only new arrival to the desolate ocean prison. Trapped in lockstep behind her was Amy Bendix. A 19 year old street-smart grifter with a history of petty crime, she’d had a run-in with The Punisher years prior that got her off the path of crime…for a week. She just couldn’t help herself. With a lack of a record beyond some petty crimes, she probably would have only gotten community service if she hadn’t had the bright idea to steal and vandalise Daredevil’s suit. Her motivation? Boredom. She wasn’t paid by some big criminal or mob. It just kinda sounded like a fun idea. For all the fun she had, the court wasn’t merciful to someone with a superhero related crime and so she was taken to her new home, facing five years in the harshest women’s prison on the planet. Not that she was scared. The march down the imposing hall towards intake by tough guards elicited little more than an eye-roll from the young criminal. She figured outside of prison she didn’t have much of a future anyway.

Cassie was trembling as she looked around, already scared of the guards and her fellow inmate. The girl next to her seemed so tough and scary... She was far from the scariest woman in the prison as Cassie would soon find out.

She was so scared and she knew she couldn't stay silent, otherwise she'd have a full blown panic attack. So she spoke. "H-hey... I'm Cassie. What's your name?"

Amy looked Cassie over, assessing her. She had enough experience with ex-incarcerated people that she knew a danger when she saw one. Cassie was not one of those people.

“The names Amy. Amy Bendix. Whatcha in for, Cassie? Not to be rude but you don’t exactly seem like the hardened criminal type” 

Cassie bit her lip and shook her head. Amy actually didn't seem that bad now that she was talking. She seemed like a potential friend. "I'm not... I was just helping people. I'm a- was a superhero... How about you?"

“A superhero? Really? Ok” Amy sounded unconvinced. “I maybe stole Daredevi’s costume” She flippantly answered with pride. 

Cassie raised an eyebrow and scoffed, letting her prissy side start to show. "Seriously? You committed an actual crime, stealing somebody's property, and I'm getting put in prison along with you for saving some kids? How long are you here for anyway?"

Amy didn’t appreciate the judgemental tone. She was in a supermax prison and the first person she met just had to be a posh prissy girl. “Yeah so what? It was a killer suit. It’s pretty stupid I got five years for costume theft.”

Cassie felt her heart sink, eyes going wide as she scoffed again. "Five years?! I'm in here indefinitely! Maybe forever! I heard the guards make a joke about me having grey hair when I get out!!!" Apparently talking just made the panic worse…

Amy didn’t really know how to help alleviate the panic so she responded with an unhelpful anecdote. “Indefinitely? Y’know, I actually knew a girl named Shantel who got life. Last I heard she started a new permanent job picking up trash on the side of the highway. Wait no that was someone else! Shantel got stabbed in the showers” The story was horrifying, but Amy relayed it like she was sharing what she had for breakfast. 

Cassie's lip started to quiver as she resumed trembling, the thought of getting stabbed filling her with dread. "What?! Why... why would you tell me that?! I don't wanna know that! I... I... I can't be in prison! I can't! I just can't! I'm not meant for this! I won't survive in here! I'm... I'm a toothpick! They'll destroy me!"

“What? You’re the one who brought up life sentences. I’m pretty sure panicking isn’t gonna help you survive” Amy said as they both were stopped at the door. She felt a little bad for Cassie, but they did just meet so her sympathy was pretty limited. She was about to say something else when the door drew open and they were both ordered to enter. 

“Hate to cut your little get-to-know-each-other chat short, but we need to get you both searched” one of two women in the room said gleefully. Sarah Weaver bid the other guards to remove the shackles that bound Amy and Cassie and then to kindly leave. 

Cassie gasped as the door closed, blushing as she prepared to be searched. What if they made her take off her clothes?

Renee Winters, Weaver's fellow guard, resisted the urge to smack Amy's plump rear end. She'd have her chance to feel her up in a minute.

Weaver held no such reserve as she stepped behind Cassie and squeezed her cute, albeit small, butt. “Wow, Renee, I almost feel bad for these two…”

Cassie gasped and pulled away as her butt was squeezed. She immediately felt sick. "Hey! Y-you're not supposed to do that! I have rights! And what do you mean you feel bad?"

Renee chuckled and turned to Weaver. "We should be in the security room when Tiny Butt has her first shower. That's gonna be fun to watch on the cameras."

Weaver ignored Cassie’s question as she responded to Renee, “I bet you that she's going to end up under at least three girls”

Cassie gasped, believing she knew what that meant. Her biggest fear right now was being stabbed in the showers. She was so naive. "Under? Like a pile of bodies?"

“There are cameras in the showers?” Amy asked, undisturbed by the rest of what was said as she took off her sweater. Her heart beat a little bit faster at the thought of the prison showers. Strong naked women being washed under the hot stream by their slaves. Passionate moans. The sound of the new bitch’s butt being slapped as she bent down to pick up soap that she dropped. It took her a moment to drift back to reality. Only she truly knew if she’d stolen that costume in an attempt to fulfil her biggest fantasy.  

Renee chuckled and shook her head at Cassie and Amy’s reactions, then turned to Weaver.

"Should we let them strip themselves, or do it for them?"

Weaver considered the question carefully. “It looks like Amy is excited, but I feel like Tiny Butt here may need some help.”

Cassie only looked more confused, but didn't have time to ask more as she gasped at the second part. "N-no! I don't need help! I can undress myself! I do it everyday!"

Renee studied Amy's face, realizing that Weaver was saying. She was totally into this, wasn't she? "You heard her. Remove your clothes. Underwear and everything."


Weaver held Cassie still and said earnestly: “Don’t worry. I’m more than happy to help you” 

And while Weaver was more than happy to help Cassie undress, Amy was more than happy to strip for Renee. “Underwear too? Got it. See I just assumed this strip search would be done with us clothed. Good to know”She brattily remarked while lowering her jeans. It wasn’t the best idea to provoke the guards but she didn’t care. 

Renee frowned. Normally she'd threaten to "help her" strip in response, but Amy would probably cream her pants. "Watch the sarcasm..."

Amy looked a little annoyed that Renee caught on so fast. She thought to herself about how she wanted Cassie’s guard as her pants fell to the ground and she next moved to unhook her white bra. 

Cassie whimpered as she was touched, shaking her head in fear. "P-please... I've never been naked in front of somebody else before..."

“Trust me, you’ll get used to it soon enough. There’s no privacy in prison” Weaver chuckled at Cassie’s expense. “I’m a lot gentler than the women in the yard will be” Her hand found the zipper to Cassie’s quantum suit and she tugged it down without any further ado. Unfortunately (for Cassie) wearing underwear with the suit rode up her in an incredibly uncomfortably way so she always just did away with them. The second her suit was unzipped, she was totally naked, perky curves on full display. She immediately flung to cover herself with her arms.

"W-why would the other women take my clothes off though?" Cassie asked blankly.

Weaver gave Renee a look very similar to the one Renee had given her when the Arachnachicks had first arrived. The unmistakable look that said ‘she’s going to be eaten alive.’ It was one they shared any time a naive new ex-superhero found themselves entering the harsh realities of incarcerated life. Cassie seemed particularly dense though.

“Hmm how do I put this delicately? They’d take your clothes off because they want to see you naked” Weaver stated the obvious as her hands traced along Cassie’s hips, her right hand eventually settling just above the hand Cassie was using to cover her womanhood.

Cassie gasped, then cringed at Weaver's tracing, uncomfortable shivers shooting through her as the hand settled."Wait... there are lesbians here? But they'll know I'm not gay, right?"

Weaver could have pressed Cassie, telling her everything she needed to know. Often she gained favour with desperate inmates by promising the highest protection there was, that created by a guard, but this time she had something else in mind. Why tell her everything that would happen when she could just wait and see for herself. 

“Only if you tell them. They’ll leave you alone if you're straight” Weaver lied as she held Cassie uncomfortably close. Her hand pushed Cassie’s aside until she was touching the lips of her pussy. 

Cassie did start to relax a bit, genuinely believing that to be true. She then gasped as the outside of her pussy was touched. "Wait... I'm a virgin..."

“Not for long you aren’t” Weaver whispered in Cassie’s ear as her fingers ventured in for a deep cavity search. Everything down there was so smooth, the impermanent standard for new arrivals.

Meanwhile, Renee just stood there, admiring Amy's curvy butt and nice cleavage. Waiting for the chance to feel her up. The girl would enjoy it, so she'd just have to enjoy it even more.

“This would have gone so much faster if you’d helped,” Amy pouted. She unhooked her bra and shook her sizable tits for Renee’s amusement. She would of course deny that any of this was an act of promiscuity. She took to removing her sneakers before her underwear just to prolong this a little more. 

Renee felt her heart start to pound at the sight of her tits popping free, the shaking pushing her close to obliging Amy's request."You're gonna be popular in there... Not as popular as Tiny Butt, but popular..." 

Amy feigned fear at Renee’s remark. Wanting to get a detailed description because it excited her, she asked: “What will they do with me?” She peeled off her socks and then at last prepared to lower her underwear.

Renee smirked, feeling like she could indulge herself and Amy a little. "They'll slap the soap out of your hands in the showers, surround you, and go to town on your body. Groping your breasts, shoving their fingers deeper inside you than you ever thought possible. You'll be sore and scared, knowing it's only the beginning."

“I shouldn’t be this turned on right now…” Amy thought aloud, whether intentional or not was impossible to tell. At that moment she dropped her panties and finally stood completely bare without any attempt to preserve her dignity. Unlike Cassie, her crotch wasn’t completely unshaven but nowhere near as messy as the ones she hoped she’d become well acquainted with. 

Renee chuckled, admiring the girl's sexy curves and nicely hairy crotch, reaching out and beginning her own cavity search. Less rough than Cassie's, but not gentle either.

“Be sure to tell the other girls that..."

Amy smiled ever so slightly as Renee finally touched her. A little softer than the submissive criminal would have liked, but maybe it would get better. 

Cassie squeaked as Weaver explored her body, gasping louder as the finger started venturing deeper. The girl wasn't a total prude, she'd touched herself, but never had another person enter her before. She'd often imagined her first time as being a beautiful and romantic occasion, with rose petals and sweet words and gentle penetration.The rough fingering in the cold and grey intake room wasn't what she fantasised about.

Weaver’s fingers began furiously rubbing back and forth between Cassie’s folds, overwhelmingly, uncomfortably fast. Cassie was right in thinking that this was the farthest thing from romantic. This may not have been what she fantasised about, but Weaver certainly did. The pathetic little cries of shock Cassie made were such a turn on

Cassie continued to make those pitiful cries, any feelings of pleasure she might have gained overriden by the overwhelming roughness. "P- please... I'm not hiding anything up there."

“Sorry can’t trust that you didn’t use one of those shrinking discs to hide something up here” Weaver said as she just kept going. 

Cassie whined, really wishing her power was the ability to prove she wasn't lying. "But I didn't..."

Weaver knew that Cassie wasn’t hiding anything but didn’t care.

Renee continued to search Amy, getting a little indulgent from time to time, but mostly just doing her job. "So you a virgin too? Or is Tiny Butt the only loser in the room?"

“Well I mean technically yeah I have never slept with anyone” Amy answered as she watched Weaver and Cassie and wished that Renee was doing the same to her. She felt Renee’s finger rub across her clit, but she wanted to be roughed up. This was prison. Things here were supposed to be wild and rough. 

Renee smiled in amusement as she continued to gently rub along Amy's pussy, and unlike Weaver, she was satisfied. "You're good, not-loser. Time for the back."

Amy swiftly turned around, wiggling her butt for her guard. Being a virgin, she’d never actually had anything go up that end so was pretty surprised by how much it hurt when Renee shoved her gloved finger in her pucker. 

“Fuck” She cursed, but not in euphoria. As the next finger went up she realised this hurt a lot . She was into it, but it was deeply unexpected. She stumbled and strained as she tried to get used to it.

Renee grunted in approval as Amy wiggled her butt, cheeks jiggling before her. She grunted again at the feeling of how tight she was, and she saw an opportunity at her clear discomfort.

"You put on a good show. If you ever get tired of having fists shoved up your butt, I'd be happy to offer protection in exchange for a nice dance." One with lots of twerking…

Amy squirmed with every painful little move Renee’s fingers made up her rear. Her breaths were heavy now as she tried to ignore just how much this hurt. This time she did unintentionally shake her butt as she stumbled on her toes, trying to balance herself. This wasn’t quite unbearable but it wasn’t pleasant…which made it amazing. “I-I’ll do it…but not for protection” She said through ragged breaths. 

Renee laughed, beginning to be just a little more rough with it. "I know... You'll do it because you're a slut..."

“mmmm…I’m a slut” Amy moaned, going all in on her role as prison bitch. She bended over just a little further as Renee got a bit more rough. Now this is what she had wanted.

And just like that… "Clean.” Renee was done, the guard began to inspect Amy's mouth without changing gloves

“Are you kidding-”

Amy groaned. She knew Renee absolutely stopped just to mess with her. Her complaint was cut short though as the tainted gloved hand was shoved in her mouth and a torch was shined in her face to properly illuminate the search.

“Someone’s enjoying themself” Weaver teased at how involuntarily wet Cassie currently was at her accelerated touch. The slicking sounds of her tempo were noticeable, as was how close the small-time hero was. 

Cassie blushed hard at that, shaking her head and grunting in denial... but she knew it was starting to feel pretty good. 

It was invasive, Cassie would definitely be sore after, but a small part of her was looking forward to the release. That’s just when Weaver abruptly stopped, withdrawing her hand and bending Cassie over. If she wanted to be a virgin so badly, who was Weaver to stand in the way of that. Instead of losing her virginity in a drab grey room to a guard, she could lose it to a gang of horny inmates. But there was one form of virginity she would lose. Weaver rammed three fingers up Cassie’s butt with a painful pop

Cassie felt conflicted about Weaver stopping when she did, now desperately horny, even if she was happy she could still call herself a- "Gaaaah!" Cassie's eyes welled up with tears as her butt was painfully penetrated, shutting her eyes and letting out whiny "ows" as her anal virginity was taken.

“Oh yeah you’ve never had anything back here! Sorry about that” Weaver sarcastically apologised as she shoved another finger in and probed around for non-existent contraband to the melody of Cassie’s pain.

Cassie was fully crying now, the extra finger enough to send her over the edge. But she just had to make it out if intake... then this would never happen again. Totally not. 

It would in fact happen again. Daily. Cassie could at least be ignorant of that for now. Weaver was just an awful perverted guard in an otherwise fair prison system that focused on rehabilitation of super-villains. It was a comforting thought as her butt was violently probed. 

Weaver finally stopped and let the crying Cassie pause a moment before the search continued elsewhere. 

Before long, both women had their searches completed and were handed their uniforms. Cassie put hers on quick, desperate for clothes, even as her speed made the soreness in her butt more apparent. Her face was very red and puffy from the crying.

Renee watched happily as Amy changed, walking over to her and whispering in her ear. "We're doing mugshots next. Strike a pose for Mommy."

Amy took slow, but eager, steps over to the chart as her throbbing butt ached. Once Weaver had set the camera to precisely how she wanted it (she was a surprisingly talented photographer after all) Amy held her sign up and stared into the camera flash. The annoyed, pouty expression concealed her true feelings well. Her look was the ultimate epitome of “whatever.” When her mugshots were taken she stood by Renee. 

Renee smiled shyly as she saw the look Amy gave, resisting the urge to do a self-cavity search as she blew the girl a kiss.

Amy looked at Renee and fiddled absent-mindedly at her brand new orange jumpsuit as she imagined all the fun she’d have in prison. 

“Undo all of the buttons on your jumpsuits, Lang” Weaver ordered. 

Cassie gasped for the hundredth time that day. “W-what?! But... but aren't mugshots public?! What if my parents see? I already look miserable!"

“Undo. The. Jumpsuit. Weaver smiled wickedly. She added a small consolation: “Besides, this is a blacksite so only staff will be able to access any records, including images. Your parents won’t see this, but I can’t promise we won’t pass around the image in the break room later”

Cassie whimpered, then did as she was asked, walking over and posing for her mugshot. She was frowning, clearly upset and humiliated.

Weaver snapped the teary pictures of Cassie with her jumpsuit wide open, planning on adding them to her personal collage later. She found that the images really expressed the pure unrivalled humiliation and defeat of weak new inmates while Amy’s were more of a rebellious vibe. 

“Come look” Weaver beckoned Cassie to look at her own mugshots. Cassie whimpered and wiped away a couple tears, walking over with a slight limp from the earlier search.Her lip quivered at the sight of what she'd become, turning to Weaver with a rather bratty glare.

"You're a monster..."

Weaver was completely unfazed by being called a ‘monster’ but she didn’t care for the fact that Cassie couldn’t appreciate her skill at the camera. She wasn’t too humble to admit that she turned boring mugshots into glam shots. “And you’re an inmate for life” She happily fired back

Cassie's face fell, and if you looked closely, you could pinpoint the exact moment she broke. "N-no... They... they said indefinitely... That doesn't m-mean life..."

Weaver shot her a bemused look. “Yeah hate to break it to you but you aren’t ever getting out” 

She then began to sob. Like full on sob, shaking her head in denial. "You don't know that! You don't! You're not in charge! Don't say things just to hurt my feelings."

Renee smirked, looking over at Weaver to share her amusement.

Weaver nodded in annoyance. She hated it when they cried. It was always so awkward. She exclusively preferred the periods where she was either allowed to play with them, or she could force them to eat her out. There was also making them jump rope while nude, but she saved that for a certain big green inmate. 

Amy watched Cassie cry with similar annoyance. She just wanted to get to meet her new sexy cellmate already. Watching her cry would only have been interesting if she was sobbing while underneath someone. This was just uncomfortable. 

“Alright time to get you both to your new home. Lang, you’ll either start walking by yourself or I’ll have to make you” Weaver said. 

Was Cassie acting a bit childish? Maybe, but she was an only child with an overly affectionate dad. She was spoiled... oh yeah, and was facing life in prison! Her outburst was a little justified. She continued to cry, shaking her head at the thought of being made to walk, however that would happen. So she began to walk and hoped that her new cellmate wouldn't be someone completely terrifying.

And off they went to Cellblock C. Walking slowly down the long hall past cells full of the world’s worst, Cassie and Amy were greeted by the impassioned jeers of the inhabitants. The inmates rattled the bars as they said every vulgar thing imaginable. Amy unsurprisingly enjoyed the warm (violent) welcome. With each cell ahead she wondered if it was where they would stop. 

Cassie didn't enjoy it one bit. Every step made her feel more and more anxious as she feared who her cellmate would be. She was very thankful when they passed Hela, who stared at her with a menacing glare. She couldn't imagine bunking with her.

Amy was about to tease Cassie but stopped when the worn down butt of a cigarette hit her in the face, thrown by a member of The Daughters of Hel. Amy only scowled and gave the assailant the finger as she marched out of range. 

Cassie blushed as Amy flipped the assailant off. She was tough, and it made Cassie feel inadequate. Why couldn't she be that tough?

She let out a soft cough as the cigarette smoke hit her nose, only for Ava Starr to flash a creepy smile at her from her cell. "Can't take tobacco, little girl? Just wait until I get ahold of you. I'll make you smoke an entire pack..."

Cassie didn't like that idea one bit.

“I’d let you pet my pussy…” Felicia Hardy sultrily purred to the newcomers as she stroked the bars. Amy admittedly found the wordplay funny. 

Cassie turned to Amy in shock, unable to comprehend how she could find any of this funny. "Why are you laughing? You're not scared? These are like... big time criminals."

“I know but like c’mon cat, pussy. That isn’t funny to you?” Amy was crude enough to fit right in. She was in partial disbelief that this wouldn’t be someone’s paradise. 

Cassie stared at Amy blankly. She didn't like dirty jokes, and couldn't relate to Amy's sense of humor. "No... N-not trying to be mean. Just... It's not funny. It's weird."

“Whatever you say, princess” Amy shrugged and resorted to name-calling 

“You’re cute. What're you in for, cheating on your college paper? Actually, wait that could be a Raft worthy offence at this point” A very naked Darcy Lewis remarked to Cassie as she straightened her glasses. 

Cassie scoffed, prissy and bratty side rearing its ugly head and she stomped her foot. "I'm not a princess!"

She would then turned to Darcy, blushing at her nakedness and compliment. "Um... thank you, and no. I... didn't get a chance to go to college. Not yet... I saved some kids from a fire."

“Brag much, princess? You’re just so much better than everyone here, right?” Amy said snidely. She had only known Cassie for thirty minutes and already she was sick of “little ms. perfect.” It wasn’t a fair assessment, but to her it seemed like Cassie devalued her totally awesome crime of stealing a superhero costume by being incarcerated for doing something actually self-less. 

Cassie's jaw dropped as she heard Amy tease her, turning to the girl with an embarrassed blush and incredulous expression. "She asked, and y-yeah. I'm a superhero. Of course  I'm better than all of you!" So much for maybe making friends with Amy. This girl was awful. Cassie announcing that she was better than everyone maybe wasn’t the best idea. Amy already knew the onslaught of random stuff being thrown was incoming and ducked just in time to make the incoming emptied cardboard toilet paper roll hit Cassie instead. After that she lost track of what exactly was being tossed out of the cells. 

Cassie gasped as the first object hit her head, then shrieked at the ensuing attack from every nearby inmate, she took off running, desperate for a safe place to hide and wishing she had some pym particles right now.

Weaver stopped her from going too far and pulled her a stop, coincidentally just outside her designated cell. Renee escorted Amy over as well and Amy faced a haunting realisation. “Wait, I have to share a cell with her?!” She cried out in complete horror. 

Cassie gasped again as Weaver stopped her, turning to the cell before turning to Amy. "We're sharing a cell?"

There were worse people to share a cell with... but Cassie would be lying if she said she didn't have a little hope of maybe getting a sweet cellmate.

Amy couldn’t imagine a worse person to have to share a cell with. “Can’t I be with someone less…annoying” she whined to Renee. 

Cassie's lip quivered as Amy insulted her, but she figured if this was gonna be her cellmate for the next five years, she should probably get on her good side. "M-maybe we got off on the wrong foot... Do you wanna... try being friends?"

Renee chuckled, leaning in to whisper in Amy's ear. "Don't worry. No way you aren't both claimed and living in new cells as sex slaves within the week."

Amy grinned at Renee's comforting words. It boosted her mood enough that she sighed and said to Cassie: “Yeah sure…I guess. But it’s off as soon as you try and act all self-righteous.”

She saw no harm in at least trying to get along with her if they were going to share a cell. They hopefully wouldn't be cellmates long anyway. 

Both entered and then the barred door was locked shut. Renee took one last look at Amy's butt before walking off with Weaver, leaving Cassie and Amy alone. Cassie immediately turned to Amy and said what Weaver told her to.

Cassie felt her face fall. She wasn't trying to act self-righteous. She was just being herself. Her self-righteous self. "I'm straight... so... d-don't get any bright ideas."

Amy silently stared daggers at her for a long pause, her small-yet-intimidating visage unblinking. In a fearsome tone, entirely unlike Cassie had previously heard, she said: “Is that right? Well sucks for you because no one’s straight in prison. I hope for your sake you learn that fast because for the next five years you’re my little bitch. Those pretty lips of yours will be kissing my tits. I’m going to shove whatever I find up that tight butt of yours and then sell you for cigarettes in the yard, princess.” Amy maintained a serious tone just long enough to finish her threat before she broke down in hysterical laughter at the horrified expression on Cassie’s face. She looked so cute when terrified of being forced into a lesbian relationship. “You should see the look on your face! I’m just fucking with you! I’m more of a sub. Great reaction though”

Cassie's face went from absolutely terrified to slightly nervous as she erupted into laughs of relief. Her hands moved to her still sore butt, the mention of things being shoved inside it reminding her of the painful cavity search. "Oh! Oh good. I was really scared there for a second. Yeah, can you even imagine? That would be so horrible. Spending five years like that... or the rest of my life..." Oh Cassie. Sweet, innocent Cassie. If she only knew what the future had in store for her.

Amy nodded with disinterest. “Yeah the latter seems pretty likely. You’re gonna die in here. So you’re related to that Ant-dude?” She casually said something awful then shifted topics. 

Cassie stared silently, her heart racing as her stomach dropped. She wanted to just stay quiet and not start a debate, but she couldn't control it."Take it back..."

“So is that a no or…?” Amy assumed Cassie meant the second topic. 

Cassie huffed and shook her head. "No, I mean... he's my dad, and I'm gonna see him again when I get out of here... before I die... Okay?" She then started chewing her lip, not wanting to sound too rude. "Sorry... I just... please don't scare me. I'm gonna get out someday."

“Ok fine” Amy replied but didn’t apologise. In her mind, she was just being realistic about the situation. 

Cassie was not gonna be realistic. Even though every sign was pointing to her spending the rest of her miserable life in prison, she didn't wanna hear one word. "T-thank you... So, uh. How did you... become a criminal?"

“Kinda a long story. My parents died when I was young, grew up in real shitty foster care and then I started running a few cons for a crew. Had to drop out of High School, not that it was a good one anyways, and yeah you get the picture. The crew’s all dead now so I’ve pretty much been on my own since then. I actually wanted to go into Marine Salvage but that obviously didn’t work out” Amy replied. She hated thinking about herself as anything besides a remorseless criminal so the trip down trauma lane was far from pleasant. 

Cassie had always known there were people who lived that kind of life, but she'd never experienced it for herself. She had a loving family. Friends. A good sense of right and wrong.

So hearing that story made her feel awful, the dorky blonde opening her arms for a hug as she stared into Amy's soul with puppy dog eyes.

Amy recoiled. Off-put by the prospect of a hug more than she was being assaulted in the yard. “Uh what are you doing?”

Cassie continued holding her tight, believing Amy to be comforted by it. "Your life is sad. I'm hugging you..."

“Please get off me or I will make you my bitch” Amy groaned. 

Cassie immediately pulled away, whimpering as she stared at Amy with wide eyes."I'm sorry! I... thought it would make you feel better."

She then turned away and began inspecting the room, wanting to take her mind off that interaction. It was disgusting, smelly, and small. A single toilet next to a set of bunk beds. She couldn't imagine peeing and other stuff with Amy right there.

Amy took in the room and felt right at home in her new environment. Believe it or not, it wasn’t even the worst place she’d slept. That honour went to an alleyway when she was homeless for a month. In truth, this prison cell seemed quite cosy. 

“Oh top bunk is mine by the way” she spoke as she looked out the window at the crashing waves below. The scenic view was nice. 

Cassie smiled, glad to have an order from Amy she'd be happy to comply with. "Cool! I'm scared of the top bunk anyway." The little wimp then sat down on the bottom bunk, watching Amy watch the waves. "You're actually not the worst person to spend five years with."

“Thanks” Amy smiled back. She could have returned the sentiment but she didn’t feel that way at all. Cassie was a bummer. She turned once again to look out at the horizon. The ocean vast surrounded them, reaching out as far as the eye could see. It settled in her mind that the outside world was impossibly far away. There was no hope of escape. For five whole years she’d be helplessly locked away on the metallic island. This was great! She parted from the window and climbed up her bunk, shaking the entire meagre frame of the bed. As she scaled the fragile build she nearly kicked Cassie in the face. 

Cassie gasped, cringing as she ducked out of the way. She wisely chose not to mention it. "So, uh... Do you wanna sit with me at breakfast?"

Amy shrugged, getting comfortable on her bed. “Yeah that works. Thanks”

Cassie sighed softly with relief, glad she wouldn't have to relive the familiar panic of not knowing who to sit by at breakfast. "You're welcome!" The terrible dread of a future spent behind bars would return with full force once the lights went out and Cassie was left in darkness, but for now, she felt pretty good.

The following morning and all the horrific prospects it held seemingly came in an instant. At one moment the entire prison had been completely silent, it was the only point in the day where it was like that, and then with an alert there was a collective sigh. Steadily the inmates rose from their beds, got dressed if they so wished, and gathered by the bars to await release. Every morning was like this and it would be so for the rest of Cassie’s life. 

Amy though rose with a yawn, tired but excited. She generally preferred to sleep long into the day, but that wasn’t really an option for the next five years. Although she groaned at such a premature awakening, she reminded herself of everything she had to look forward to today. 

“Morning” She muttered to Cassie as she stood over the strange sink (which unpleasantly sat atop the toilet) and brushed her teeth.

Cassie rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she sat up in her uncomfortable bed, the opposite of well rested after a night of overthinking things. Or as some would argue, underthinking it. She was still in denial about the fact she'd never be leaving. "Ugh. Morning... I didn't know they did wake up calls. I'm supposed to get at least seven hours of sleep."

“Seven hours? What time did you fall asleep?” Amy asked with toothpaste still in her mouth. She’d fallen asleep almost immediately the previous night.

Cassie whined, shyly rubbing her arm. "I think around midnight..." It was actually more like 2am, but there wasn't a clock or phone in this cell.

Amy spit the toothpaste out and then turned around to face the bars. She freshened up her dark brown hair and then lowered the zipper on her jumpsuit until anyone could have a generous view of her breasts but not quite see everything. “Lower or is this good?”

Cassie got out of bed and walked over to the sink, her jumpsuit zipped all the way up. She turned to look at Amy, then gasped at the sight of her exposed breasts. "H-higher! Your... boobs are out!"

Amy rolled her eyes. “No shit. Pretend you’re a lesbian and then answer the question”

Cassie blushed. She either hadn't remembered or realised Amy was gay. She was probably really into this . "...that's good."

“Thanks. You’ll get used to it eventually” Amy was in fact really into this. Now all she had to do was wait for the cell to open and then find someone. 

Cassie walked up beside her, uncomfortable with the partial nudity and trying to avoid eye contact. She then replied to Amy, though it was unclear if she misunderstood what she was getting at. "So you're gonna have your boobs showing all the time. N-no judgement."

There would be lots of judgement.  “Yeah, gotta advertise myself out to any interested inmates. I mean I’m pretty sure I would get claimed either way, but I want to speed things up a bit” 

Amy turned to face Cassie just to annoy her with the sight.  “Believe me, your tits are gonna be out a lot too” Cassie stared in disbelief, unable to relate to the desire to be claimed. "But we'll still be roommates, right?" She then blushed and looked away, not wanting to see the boobs in front of her. "And yeah, like in the showers and stuff... But the guard told me just to tell people I'm straight. I'll be okay.”

Amy chuckled at how naive Cassie was being. “We'll probably be roommates until one of us gets claimed. But yeah you should be fine if you just tell them you’re straight. I’m sure every good willing lesbian will respect that. No flaws in logic there” 

She said sarcastically. The doors opened and she stepped out and took her place in line. 

The anxiety spread throughout Cassie's entire body now. She was at the very beginning of starting to accept her place, and even thought she and Amy might make a fun "opposites attract" best friend duo like in a sitcom. But this wasn't a sitcom. This was a fetish st- this was real life, and Cassie felt truly scared, like any illusions she had of this being a remotely good time had washed away. "Oh…”

Chapter 22: Caged Lang - Part 2

Chapter Text

The breakfast hall was unimpressive. A large hall of rows of dirty tables with cameras all along the walls, the room simultaneously seemed high-tech and worn-down. There were mounted guards patrolling above watching the lines of inmates slowly moving along to get their meal and then splitting into segregated groups at their respective tables. Despite the spacious size, everything seemed congested (much like the showers). Cassie inspected every table, quickly noticing the segregated groups. It was strange to the girl, who'd grown up in a pretty inclusive area."Where do you think we should sit?The tables look pretty full."

“We could sit with her” Amy said in a dream-like tone as she stared at Carol Danvers’ table. She felt a little overwhelmed with how many options there were. 

Cassie followed her eyes to Carol. It wasn't a terrible idea. She always seemed a little intimidating, but ultimately seemed nice. "Yeah, let's do that."

Amy nodded and looked ahead just as her turn in line came up. She was surprised by who was currently messily ladling a serving of a strange greyish porridge: Wanda Maximoff. Tired and dishevelled she’d clearly had a bit of a downward spiral since when she was an Avenger. The witch said nothing but Amy was still pretty impressed when she saw her use a small spell to place a slice of bread. The interaction was silent and short, Wanda was in no mood to talk after the morning she’d had, and so it was Cassie's turn.

Cassie wasn't as smart as Amy. She'd met Wanda a couple times through her father, and always thought she was fun. To see her like this was... awful. "Hi Wanda... I heard about what happened, and I am so sorry..."

Wanda tilted her head and looked at Cassie. “...Thank you” She said with apprehension, but not quite mad. She would be fine as long as Cassie didn’t directly mention Westview or Kamar-Taj, or, worse, her children. 

Cassie smiled and, while patiently awaiting her okay looking food, decided more chit chat was in order "I think people should have been a little more understanding... I can't imagine what would happen if I lost kids like that."

Wanda tensed and her eyes glew a faint red as she unintentionally threw the ladle against the wall in a burst of chaos magic. “Go! Next person!” She snapped. Cassie’s tray sat only a quarter the amount of the usual portion. Wanda was doing her best to not hurt Cassie like she would anyone else that brought that topic up, but it probably came off like one of her usual psychotic tantrums. 

Cassie gasped as she tried to keep from hyperventilating. She'd never seen Wanda so scary, and was immediately beginning to see why she was in here. "I'm sorry!" She didn't care that there was barely any food, she just grabbed her tray and ran off to find Amy.

The only issue is that Cassie couldn’t find Amy. She was lost somewhere in the forest of inmates finding their tables. Cassie’s aimless wandering was abruptly stopped by a silent Choctaw woman, Maya Lopez, who nearly knocked the tray out of her hands before just standing in her way making heavy eye contact. 

<Hello, new fish> Maya signed with a smirk on her face. 

Cassie felt anxiety gnaw at her stomach as she searched for Amy, leading to a shriek at the sight of the woman. "Oh, I... I don't speak sign language. I'm sorry... Maybe someone could translate?"

<I’m going to make you my bitch. Watch your back in the showers> Maya shoved her against the wall, causing poor Cassie to spill her breakfast on her jumpsuit. The essence of what Maya was signing wasn’t difficult to understand for anyone with the slightest of prison knowledge, but Cassie lacked that. 

Could Maya have just gotten someone to translate? Yes. But she didn’t like being dependent on people, especially in her current environment. 

Cassie shrieked again, staring at Maya with terrified eyes. She kept her mouth shut, assuming the woman had just misread her lips. 

<What? Are you scared, new girl? Scared to be my bitch…you don’t understand anything I’m saying, do you?> Maya signed uncomfortably close to Cassie’s face. It was hard being mute in prison.

Cassie pushed her head back against the wall, trying not to get accidentally smacked in the face.

"I'm sorry, but I really don't know what you're saying. I took like two days of sign language lessons and then quit."

Maya grew increasingly more annoyed and so dealt with it in only the most rational and reasonable way she knew how. She ripped the jumpsuit of Cassie’s food-stained jumpsuit all the way down, shoved her hand down the front to briefly grope her womanhood, and then stepped back. It seemed like the only way to relay what she planned on doing with her. The guards from their posts saw what happened but didn’t care to stop it. As long as Maya didn’t kill Cassie there was no cause for alarm. 

Cassie squealed as her jumpsuit was yanked out, gasping before going silent as she was groped. It wasn’t painful like the cavity search, but made her feel very uncomfortable. She bit down hard on her lip, scared little whimpers escaping her lips before she remembered what she was supposed to say.

"Wait! I'm straight! I'm straight!"

<Yeah, but I’m not> Maya replied simply despite Cassie not understanding what she was saying.

Amy had been trying way too hard to come on to a disinterested Proxima Midnight when she heard and came to Cassie’s aid immediately…after Maya left. She watched as Maya waved in annoyance and walked off to join Vanessa and Elektra and only then did Amy come in to support her cellmate.

“Did she claim you?! Your jumpsuit’s open, did she touch you? Was there tongue?” She spammed too many question with a brewing jealousy that Cassie could have been chosen first. 

Cassie was collapsed on the floor, covering her pussy just in case Maya came back. She looked up at Amy and wrapped her up in another hug, believing Amy's questions to be out of concern.

"I... I don't know. She touched it and then walked away... She didn't kiss me or anything, so... No. No tongue."

“I kinda meant did she use tongue down there but ok. How long did she touch you?” Amy focused on entirely the wrong details there. Her callousness in this situation probably would have made her great at getting a bitch of her own, but that (fortunately) wasn’t her interest. 

Being crushed by yet another of Cassie’s hugs, she sighed. It did feel kind of nice when their exposed chests touched in the moment of embrace though.

Cassie continued to hold her tight for a moment before letting go. She stared into Amy's eyes, the vulnerable girl desperate for help. "Do you mind if I stay with you at all times? Just in case something like that happens again?" 

Amy wasn’t too into the idea and so said the first thing she felt would dissuade Cassie. “So that we can get claimed together?” 

The fear on Cassie's face grew, realising she wasn't safe anywhere. The lonely, scared, and hungry girl realised there was nothing to keep her here. Her friend clearly didn't think staying with her was smart, and her food was on the floor.

So she got up, covered her face, and ran out of the cafeteria. She stayed outside as long as she could until breakfast was finally over. The wait had given her an…interesting…view of the inner-workings of the prison economy. She’d wanted to just lay down, cry, and pretend she was in a far less terrifying place, which she did, but the inmates ignored her presence and went about business as usual. As she lay on the dirty ground, in between sobs she watched Trish Walker sell Karen Page something called Extremis for a few cigarettes. She’d never watched a drug deal go down before. It was really awkward being present to watch a crime but being entirely ignored as if she didn’t exist at all. 

At some point the inmates began exiting the cafeteria and walking past her. Bound for the showers. Cassie watched the prisoners walking by, whining as her time in mourning was interrupted. But she didn't get up yet. She just watched and waited to join the back of the line.

That’s when she was kicked in the stomach by Maya’s prosthetic leg, which was considerably painful given that it was made of metal. She couldn’t wait to see her new toy in the showers. 

Cassie let out a pitiful grunt of pain, clutching her empty stomach as she doubled over. She looked up at her, tears forming in her eyes as her brattier side reared its head.

"I didn't do anything to you! Stop being so horrible!!!"

Maya understood the tone of what was being said and didn’t feel a thing. She was tired of waiting. <Get up> She signed quickly while giving Cassie another kick. 

Cassie groaned again, tears spilling out onto the floor as she whimpered. She still didn't understand the words, but figured out the second kick meant Maya wasn't happy. She got up, unknowingly appeasing the woman who was about to claim her. She just wanted to avoid another kick.

Maya threw her arm around Cassie and walked beside her, thinking of all the fun she’d have with her. It seemed violence really always did speak louder than words, or, in her case, sign language. They arrived at the showers and it went exactly as one might expect.

Maya stepped in front of Cassie once again and then started stripping herself naked, revealing her fit body. All around them the other inmates did the same, but Cassie’s eyes were currently locked on Maya. She ran her hands along her curvy hips, showing off her body for Cassie, and then squeezed her own tits. It was like the world’s weirdest self-advertisement that Cassie was forced to watch in horror. 

<Your turn> Maya mouthed.

Cassie read Maya's lips, the two words being simple enough, and shook her head in terror.

Maya threw her head back in a silent groan, crossing her arms. She looked surprisingly tough considering she was fully naked. Maybe it was because of the prison tattoos. <Now> She mouthed and pointed to the ground. She was losing patience. 

Cassie was shaking as Maya gave her the order, knowing she should probably obey before she got attacked. She reluctantly unzipped her jumpsuit, letting it fall to the floor and exposing her perky boobs and tiny butt. "T-there..."

Maya mouthed “wow” as she stared at Cassie’s bare body with predatory eyes. She took a pause to really look at the hero’s front over slowly and then she roughly turned her around, spanked her rear, and then gazed at her backside. She was so tiny and cute like a little Barbie doll. A very sexy doll. Ok not her best mental analogy but the point stood. She spun her around again and then signed: <So you’re the princess of the itty bitty titty council?>

Which Elektra then said aloud as she passed by, chuckling to herself. 

<She’s cute> Elektra signed to Maya and then the two held a brief conversation in sign as they both assessed Cassie over like she was a mannequin in a display window. 

Cassie felt like a Barbie doll as she was stared at like an object, whimpering and whining as she tried to avoid eye contact with anyone. She gasped and glared at Maya as Elektra explained what she said (she'd always been sensitive about that), and was about to speak up when she saw them begin the conversation. It felt embarrassing to be talked about when you didn't understand a word.

Elektra nodded yes to something. <How much will you turn her out for?>

Maya shrugged and asked back: <How much do you think she’s worth?> 

Elektra considered it and then began roughly feeling up Cassie, specifically her more intimate regions, before turning back to Maya and holding up two fingers. Cassie was worth two cigarettes. 

<That’s it?> Maya asked, visibly annoyed. 

Cassie's trembling grew more intense as Elektra stepped closer… "Hey!" ...yelping as she was felt up for the third time since arriving in prison. This really didn't bode well for her future.

Elektra held Cassie’s jaw and then began kneading her breasts. “What’s your name?”

Cassie whined as her jaw was grabbed, squirming hard at the groping. "C-Cassie... Cassie Lang..."

“Well Cassie Lang, you’re going to be a very good girl for Maya or she’ll kill you…” Elektra threatened before letting her go, relaying the name in sign, and waving goodbye to Maya. Maya immediately bid Cassie to follow her. 

Cassie felt numb as she heard this, her worst fears about prison seeming closer than ever to coming true. "Wait..." But Elektra was already gone, leaving Cassie to obediently follow her 'new friend.'

Maya ushered Cassie along through the crowded steamy room of bare prisoners. The room conflictingly reeked of sweat from hours in the mines and sickeningly sanitary soap which was unpleasantly reminiscent of a hospital. Every step they took resulted in them bumping against someone’s wet naked body. Cassie was fairly sure she saw Maya elbow someone in the boob to get them out of the way but it was hard to tell. 

She was more than used to this, judging by the wide smile on her face she was enjoying it. Cassie had gone from never seeing someone naked besides herself to seeing essentially the entire prison population. She kept her eyes low to the ground, not wanting to be exposed to the naked bodies, as well as hoping they weren't staring at hers.

Maya pulled Cassie onwards, causing her to slip along the soapy wet tiles, until they finally reached an available spot. Unfortunately, there was only one shower head there so they would be sharing. She beamed at Cassie as she pulled her orange hair tie out, moving it around her wrist, and then grabbing a small white bar of soap off the shelf. Now face to face with Maya, Cassie whimpered as she avoided eye contact, shivering slightly from fear and the cold. Sharing the hot water wasn't working out too well. Maya handed Cassie the bar of soap, expecting her to wash her. Of course, that was unclear because the oblivious Cassie nervously thanked her before beginning to use it on herself. She knew better than to assume Maya was being nice, but figured it might be some sort of harmless mind game.

Maya paused, trying to figure out what Cassie was doing. Once Cassie began washing herself she tried to rip the bar of soap out of her hands to take it back so she could mime what to do, but unfortunately the bar slipped out of both of their hands and went tumbling to the floor. Maya looked down at it and then at Cassie, teeth gritted.

Cassie had yelped as Maya lunged at her, watching the soap slide across the room, then turning back to her shower buddy. The clear anger told Cassie everything she needed to know, and she quickly found herself bending over to pick up the soap.

Maya smirked to herself and stepped behind Cassie, gripping her wet butt and leaning over her. She would have made a quip if she could. Maya could neither hear a word Cassie said or see her lips (since Cassie was currently facing the floor), not that it mattered. No amount of pleading would have convinced her to have mercy. In her mind she was a far better alternative than the other people who could claim her. She raised her hand up high and slapped Cassie’s rear incredibly hard and then turned her around and shoved her against the wall. 

Cassie screamed as she was spanked, crying as she was shoved against the wall. "Nooooo!!! Amy?! Amy?!" She knew Amy probably wouldn't help, or even hear her, but she was desperate and didn't know what else to do.

Maya wanted to tell her to quit being so pathetic. Her panicked motions were making this difficult in the slippery room. How did she relay that? By kneeing her in the thigh and hitting her again. The scene caught the attention of the surrounding women who all watched with glee at the newest girl being abused. 

Cassie squeaked at the sudden pain in her thigh, turning to the other ladies and looking at them with pleading eyes. "Help me! Help!!!"

Maya suddenly rammed her entire fist up Cassie’s butt only to pull it out and do it again. Her arse was still sore from the search during intake, and the fisting only made things so much worse. The watching women laughed at Cassie’s terror. 

Cassie screamed as the fist entered her, then began to sob as it happened again. Weaver's fingers last night had been so painful in her previously virgin anus, but this was excruciating!

"Ow! Ow, pleeeeaaaase stop! I didn't do anything!" Her pleas fell on Maya's deaf ears, as well as the uncaring ones from their audience.

Maya unclenched her fist and began using her fingers to explore Cassie’s extremely aching butt. Then she pulled out and did it again…and again…and again. The sadistic woman revelled in watching how Cassie twitched and squirmed at her touch. 

Cassie continued to cry and scream, barely able to comprehend how much pain she was in. This wasn't something she'd be able to sleep on and recover from easily, especially if Maya made this a regular thing.

Maya finally stopped and pulled her hand out, raising it in the air and holding up three fingers and then pointing at Cassie. This was the price she’d be charging (yes she raised the price from two to three) to anyone who wanted a piece of the new fish. Immediately a few women emerged from the assembled crowd looking to join in. 

Cassie didn't understand what was going on. She just continued to whimper and sob, pain still pulsing throughout her recently stuffed butt. She prayed that this wouldn't be the first taste of the rest of her life. It wouldn’t. 

From the crowd emerged Vanessa Fisk, accompanied by her servant Giulietta Nefaria aka Madame Masque, and Elektra Natchios. They would pay Maya for the fun in the yard later, except Vanessa who could have whatever she wanted from her gang. Just like that Maya shoved Cassie on her back, under the warm stream of water for the first time, and then the four of them gathered around her. There was no escaping this.

Cassie went quiet for a moment as she was shoved onto her back, then resumed crying as she looked around and realised they'd all be joining in. Masque stood beside Vanessa, waiting for orders. Her trademark golden mask had been kept as a trophy by Weaver, who broke her in on her first day.

Vanessa looked down at the pathetic girl beneath and then snapped her fingers. With her cue everyone took their positions. First came Vanessa who plopped down on Cassie’s face and began riding her. Then Maya pulled Cassie’s legs wide and shoved two fingers up her butt. Elektra kicked Cassie in the crotch and then laid stomach down on the floor and nuzzled her face against her pussy. 

Giulietta crouched down, grabbing ahold of both Cassie's tits, and twisted as hard as she could. There wasn't much there, but she enjoyed knowing how much pain she must be in. Cassie didn't even have a chance to scream as Vanessa's intimate areas smashed against her face, the girl coughing and gagging as she came face to face with her first pussy. Muffled screams erupted as her poor butthole was penetrated once again, followed by a soft grunt of pain at the kick to her crotch. A kick that caused her to go limp for a moment, just in time to moan as the face pressed against her.

“Mmm I’ve missed clean shaven pussy…” Elektra moaned with her lips pressed against Cassie’s pussy before getting straight to eating her out. In a prison like The Raft where razors were considered a major security risk, no one stayed bare down there for long. It made fresh fish even more sought after. 

Maya squatted and continued penetrating Cassie’s butthole. Wanting a bit more stimulation, Maya raised her own hand to her mouth and began sucking off her fingers with desperate gusto. Both her hands quickly were getting tired at this point but she persisted. She was way too into this to care about her own tiredness. Her fingers clawed away up Cassie and just kept going.

“Start licking” Vanessa calmly ordered as she swayed her hips back and forth, grinding her dark-chestnut forested pussy against Cassie’s face. It wasn’t so much that Cassie was being forced to eat her out as she was choked by a thick bush of pubic hair that itched the inside of her mouth. 

Cassie could barely hear anything, overwhelmed by the pain in her rear and tits, as well as her low air supply as she continually choked on Vanessa's pubes. There was a pleasure to what Elektra was doing even if she didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to cum though. She still held out hope she'd be reunited with her boyfriend someday, and that he would be the one to take her virginity. She then started to cry as she received her orders, knowing better than to disobey as she started to lick Vanessa's pussy. It tasted... unique. Not pleasant. She was straight through and through.

Vanessa softly moaned as she mashed her pussy up and down against Cassie’s flicking tongue. The glee she took in tormenting someone so new sent shockwaves through her system that were unlike anything she experienced with Giulietta. The sound of Cassie sobbing and gagging turned her on even more. 

Elektra pushed her face harder against Cassie’s crotch as she worked away with her tongue far more vigorously than Cassie did. She briefly lifted her head to tease: “She’s all wet”

Before returning to her pleasant smelling (at least more so than the long-time inmates) womanhood. Her tongue ran passionately between Cassie’s rims. A small pleasure in the cluttered sexual torment. But just as Cassie noticed how nice it felt she was fisted again by Maya. 

Cassie tensed up as the fist re-entered her still somehow tight hole, bucking her hips up and staying frozen in that position as she scream-cried into Vanessa's pussy. She bucked so hard that she threw Elektra off and Giulietta off of her, but not Vanessa, even if her tongue stopped working its magic. Perhaps the vibrations of her horrific moans sufficed.

Vanessa stood up and then the group abruptly began to change positions. Cassie was put on her stomach so that her sex rested on Elektra’s mouth, Vanessa sat against the wall and shoved Cassie’s face into her pussy, Maya stood up and then suddenly kicked her foot up Cassie’s butt. 

Cassie sighed with relief as she had a moment of freedom, but this was immediately ruined as she was womanhandled and placed on her stomach. Not even Elektra's tongue could help her relax as she began licking Vanessa's pussy once more, screaming simultaneously as her butt was violated by the foot. Giulietta held her hand out, asking Vanessa with her eyes if she could mark Cassie's body with the shiv her mistress kept in her hair.

Vanessa rolled her eyes and looked at Giulietta with clear annoyance. “Do it next time. Don’t interrupt me again” She warned. 

Giulietta nodded with a blush before beginning to spank Cassie's pale butt, leaving handprints after just a couple smacks.

”Tell me, how do I taste?” Vanessa asked Cassie. Cassie hadn’t replied yet when her body shook ferociously at the feeling of Elektra lapping away at her clit. 

Maya looked down at the sight of her foot up Cassie’s butt and, while it was a bit weird since she’d never done it before, it was hot. She watched herself nudge her dirty toes between Cassie’s cheeks while she masturbated herself using the same hand that had been inside Cassie not a minute prior.

The spanking only added to Cassie's misery, though the brief moment of pleasure as she got closer to orgasm. That was her main concern though, as she looked up at Vanessa and neglected to respond to the question asked. "Please... Not here..."

“What do you mean?” Vanessa asked irritably while stretching her legs wide for the edging Cassie. Elektra was actually really skilled with her tongue. Cassie wouldn’t be able to last much longer like this. 

Cassie felt a new tear roll down her cheek as she looked at Vanessa with pleading eyes. "I have a boyfriend... I wanted him to... be..." She didn't finish her sentence, a mix between a moan and a scream erupting from her as a result of the pain and pleasure she felt.

Vanessa let out a dry cackle at Cassie. “She’s a virgin. Not for long though. Now lick!” She smirked. Elektra’s tongue rolled upwards and then messily stroked down and swirled about. Any moment now…Cassie resumed licking, but only for a moment. She felt waves of pleasure shoot through her as she relieved her first orgasm at the hands of another. She moaned some more into Vanessa's pussy, trying desperately to enjoy this moment despite feeling like a dirty little cheater.

“She’s not a virgin anymore,” Elektra spoke from underneath Cassie. Once the orgasm ended, Cassie started to softly cry into Vanessa's vagina, neglecting to lick as she just stewed in her pain and guilt. How far she'd fallen in less than 24 hours.


Showertime concluded and they were taken into the mines. Amy was currently being handed a pickaxe after being shackled alongside Rogue. The chains were tight, cutting against their skin in the damp tunnels of the cavern. “Amy Bendix” Amy introduced herself as she took a weak swing at the stone wall. 

Rogue sighed. She had a talker. "No talkin’." She said without looking at her, just focusing on swinging the axe.

Amy drove her pick into the rocks just a little harder this time, yielding disappointing results. 

“So not a talker. Got it. It sure was nice of the guards to let you keep up the excessive makeup you have on” Amy said snidely. 

Rogue rolled her eyes at Amy's pitiful attempts at mining, using her axe to chip away at the rock with precise skill. That's when her face twisted into a frown pout, turning to Amy with a scowl. And here she'd thought the girl was gonna be the overly sweet type. "What'd I say about talking?"

“Yeah but are you a guard? You can’t really tell me what to do” Amy fired back. 

Rogue gripped the pickaxe tight in her gloved hands, legitimately wanting to use it on this girl.

"Do you want me to yank your jumpsuit down and shove this where the sun don't shine?"

Amy bit her lip and looked at Rogue promiscuously. “I mean…”

Rogue blushed as she realised what was going on, and for a minute she felt very flattered. It had been a long since she'd had an intimate relationship... then she remembered why. "Well clearly you don't know about ma’ powers then." She returned to scowling, thinking about how unlucky she was to have her collar not keep her frustrating power at bay. 

“Well what are your powers?” Amy asked as she tried again. The results were worse than last time. 

Rogue slammed the pickaxe into the ground, cracking her knuckles as she stepped towards Amy. "If I touch anyone, they end up in a coma or worse. You wanna see it up close?"

“Really? That’s a pretty sucky power. Your collar doesn’t I don’t know do something about that?” Amy replied unafraid. Minus the mutation, this wasn’t her first time facing someone so terrifying. 

Rogue crossed her arms, more upset than angry at this point. "No, it doesn't. Now shut up, do your job, and leave me alone. If it's sex you're looking for, get claimed by Emma Frost and join her stupid sex cult."

There might as well have been a little lightbulb that appeared over Amy’s head as she perked up. Everything about her seemed to suddenly come alive. “Sex cult?” She asked enthusiastically. 

Rogue whined as she imagined being able to get excited about sex again. "Yes, now SHUT UP!" She removed one of her gloves, holding a pale hand up to Amy's face in an effort to scare her.

Amy flinched, taking a step back which pulled the chains as far as they could go. “Alright, fine. My lips are locked.” She mimed throwing away the key. 

Rogue huffed, slipped her glove back on, then returned to work, all this talk about sex getting her really horny.


Work concluded many long hours later and so Amy went to the yard to look further into the sex-cult Rogue told her about. Wandering around in the only spot in the prison to breath in the fresh air, she asked around for Emma Frost. The answers had been unhelpful but the search outright stopped when she ran into Cassie. It hadn’t even been a day since they last spoke but Cassie looked drastically different. 

She was a shell of her former self, looking incredibly fragile as she sat on the ground by the fence.The sight of Amy sparked something in her, and she quickly waved her over.

Amy trudged over, not really wanting to be deterred from her quest for Emma Frost. “What the fuck happened to you?” She asked in surprise as she noticed just how dishevelled Cassie looked.  

Cassie rubbed the back of her neck shyly. "M-Maya Lopez claimed me, and her friends did a bunch of stuff to me. They said..." She sniffled. "They said I have to live with Maya from now on, so I guess we won't be roommates anymore..."

“That was fast. What’d they do to you exactly because, no offence, you look like shit” Amy questioned, sitting close beside her. 

Cassie whimpered at her words, but placed her head on Amy's shoulder. It felt kinda nice. "M-maya shoved her fist up my butt, over and over again... Vanessa made her lick her vagina and it was so hairy. Like... like a guy's (something she learned from movies). And the one with the accent... s- stole my virginity..."

“Three people?! How was it? Were they rough? I bet they were rough” Amy asked enviously. She was a little disappointed Cassie was taken first.

Cassie gasped as she realised what Amy was doing, lifting her head off her shoulder and looking at her in bratty horror. "Are you using me to get off?!"

“What? No! I would never” Amy protested poorly. She was 100% using her trauma to get off. 

Cassie stared at her roommate, lip quivering from the betrayal. "Be honest. Do you actually care about me? Like at all? Because I thought we were maybe becoming friends." 

“Yes of course I care. We’re friends, I’m just…ok look, it’s really hard for me to not be turned on by this place. Maybe if you would try and see my perspective it wouldn’t be so bad” Amy defended without any remorse in her tone. 

Cassie was in disbelief. She could tell Amy wasn't the most sympathetic person in the world, but this? Being turned on by her trauma? She wanted to yell. To scream. To chew her out for this horrible thing... but then she'd be truly alone. Not even a remorseless friend to comfort her.

"I'm... sorry. I guess I can see how it'd be hot from your perspective..."

“Thank you. If it’s any help, I would have gladly gone through whatever happened to you in the showers instead” Amy tried to help

Cassie perked up. If Amy actually wanted this stuff to happen to her… "M-maybe we could talk to Vanessa? Maybe they can give you to Maya instead..."

“I don’t think it works like that. They’d probably just keep you and take me as well” Amy wasn’t against the idea, but she was interested in Emma now

Cassie decided not to press it, realising it really wouldn't get her anywhere. "So I'm just supposed to be their slave for however long I'm here?"

“Yeah pretty much” Amy nodded. 

Cassie felt very conflicted about Amy's blunt way of speaking. On the one hand, she knew being realistic was probably important here, but she didn't want to be. "Anything else you wanna talk about? I kinda need to get my mind off things."

“Well what’d you think of work? My arms are seriously hurting right now” Amy asked while tending to her sore limbs. Her body was aching from hard labour. She wondered if it was the same for someone experienced like Rogue. 

Cassie sighed, rubbing her sore arms. "Just when I thought prison life couldn't get any worse, they found a way. I can't believe we have to do that every day. When is there time for fun?"

“Pretty sure those two are having fun” Amy pointed at Natasha Romanoff ripping open Pepper Potts’ jumpsuit a little across the yard.

Cassie gasped, hurrying to her feet… "That stuff happens out here too?!"...and began limping to an even more secluded spot.

Amy struggled to determine whether or not she should follow her. Strangely, she eventually decided that she should, but then she was stopped by five identical women, all platinum blonde with the fairest of skin. Their piercing blue eyes seemed distant, almost ethereally disconnected. 

"You're new." The women said in unison. They wouldn't feel out of place in a horror movie. "How's your first day in prison?" 

“Fine I guess. Do we have a problem?” Amy sounded pretty confident for a new arrival without a single weapon being grouped up on by five inmates. To be entirely fair to her though, her opponents didn’t look any more intimidating than she did. 

The ladies were silent for a moment, then they spoke. "That depends. Are you gonna unzip your jumpsuit, or do we have to make you?"

Amy had to stop herself from smiling. It was finally happening! But wait no she had someone specific in-mind. “Sorry but I’ve already been claimed…by Emma Frost .” Amy didn’t really count that as lying. She was just preactivly being loyal to someone she hadn’t met yet. Not weird at all. 

The Cuckoos smirked and chuckled to themselves, only briefly getting distracted by the sound of Pepper's yelps as Natasha slammed her fingers inside her pussy.  "We would know if you were claimed by Emma Frost. We work for her."

Amy let out an awkward chuckle as she realised her exaggeration maybe wasn't the most well-thought out. “Oh. Y-Yeah you got me there…so you’re part of her sex cult?”

They nodded, before simply saying: "Undo your jumpsuit."

“Make me!” Amy brattily challenged as Pepper let out a groan in the background. 

The Cuckoos stood silent once again, thinking over their response. "You're a bratty one. If you want to join the cult of our great mistress, you will be an obedient girl. Otherwise, one of the lesser gangs would be happy to claim you."

Amy sighed in unison with Natasha, who had undressed Pepper and currently had her on her lap so she could punish her for some transgression. “Alright. Fine” Amy pouted, beginning to undo her jumpsuit by herself. 

The Cuckoos smiled as they watched her do this, Pepper's yelps as she was spanked providing a great soundtrack. "Mmm. Curvy. Now do some jumping jacks."

Amy didn’t hesitate to do as told. Performing in nothing but her underwear, her round nipples stood like two sharp pink needles as her breasts shook with each enthusiastic jump. Down and back up again she went, not needing to pause. She felt the fresh oceanic air against her naked body which cooled her sweat dewed skin. Believe it or not, exercising in so little was a fairly common sight in the yard. 

The Cuckoos watched intently, not smiling despite very much enjoying the sight of Amy's bouncing breasts. She was gonna be fun. 

Amy smiled coyly, turned around, bent over with a shimmy of her butt, and then slowly lowered her underwear. She didn’t do it out of modesty, but to better excite the ominous quadruplets. After an appropriate pause to build things up, she turned around and massaged her left tit in one hand while the other caressed along her thigh. 

The Cuckoos didn't look as visibly aroused as Officer Renee had with the girl, but they were definitely enjoying the show. "Finger yourself. Cum in front of everyone."

Amy kicked her panties aside, leaving them stranded in the middle of the vast concrete yard, and spread her legs out. Her petite frame shuddered as her right hand glided along her dewy skin and then met her sex with the press of two fingers. She pushed her first finger and found that she was already dripping wet. Kneading her breast just a little bit harder, she began fingering herself with euphoric moans that quickly grew louder than the sound of Pepper’s whines as she was spanked. 

Amy couldn’t decide what turned her on the most; being humiliated by tough prisoners, the threat of pain at the hands of the Cuckoos, or the fact that this was all happening in front of the entire yard. She was the Cuckoos’ bitch and she knew it. 

The Cuckoos started to smile at the show. Rogue watched from afar, doing a bit of her own self-exploration as she imagined the girl doing that to her. Pepper's whines faded out as Natasha seemingly gave her a break. Seemingly.

Amy turned to see her motivating surroundings as her finger fiercely worked away inside her wet pussy, rubbing in quick, messy circular motions. Her breaths grew heavier, her legs weaker. The Cuckoos were quickly growing tired, and it was becoming clear in the way they stood. They wanted her to hurry this up.

 She felt herself nearing closer and closer to climaxing, slipping towards it with each messy stroke of her finger. Her head was getting dizzy with complete euphoria before suddenly, like a flash of lightning, an orgasm unlike any other rocked her body whole. Her wet pussy dripped juices along her cum-soaked fingers and onto the hot concrete ground. 

The Cuckoos all smiled the same wide smile, moaning softly themselves as Amy came. "Now lick it up..."

Amy looked at them with some small apprehension before getting on her knees and beginning to lick the ground where she’d came on. She mostly only could taste dirt. 

They noticed the apprehension, smiling wider at the rare disinterest from the otherwise horny girl. They laughed as she actually did it, then began walking away. "We'll be in touch."

Chapter 23: Caged Lang - Part 3

Chapter Text

Cassie Lang had tried her best to avoid going to her new cell, prolonging things as long as possible, but as lights out drew near she was left with no other choice but to face who she’d been moved in with. Taking small strides due to her aching butt, she kept her head down on the way there but it wasn’t easy to block out the completely alien happenings around her. ‘Alien’ being quite literal, since she was somehow in a prison with actual aliens. 

Stopping outside her new cell, she slowly nudged the unlocked door open and stepped inside where Maya Lopez was already waiting for her with a smirk on her face. Cassie swallowed nervously as she stared at the woman before her, glancing down at her feet before rubbing her still sore butt. "S-so, uh... this is my new home?" For the indefinite, possibly permanent future…

Maya, sat with her legs spread wide and jumpsuit pulled down just below her breasts, nodded a silent yes. She’d spent her entire shift in the mines dreaming about this moment and all the moments after, given they’d probably be with each other for the rest of their lives. Or at least until Maya got bored of her and sold her to someone else. 

Cassie whimpered and rubbed her arm shyly. "Can you go easy on me? I'm still recovering from earlier? And can I keep my jumpsuit on? Please?" If Maya could be reasoned with, Cassie could maybe accept her new role and try to make the best of it, but if not…

Maya stared at Cassie blankly for a ridiculously long beat, long enough that it was unclear if she caught that Cassie even asked a question. Just as Cassie started to consider murmering the questions again, Maya nodded yes. She was a sadistic assassin who a few hours ago ganged up on a poor defenseless woman, not a complete monster. At least that was the logic in her mind. 

Cassie stood there awkwardly as she waited for a response, then finally let out the breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding."Oh thank you!!! Thank you! M-maybe this won't be so bad after all! We... we can be friends. And... s-sorry. Can you read lips? Even if you can, I'm rambling too fast. Sorry."

Cassie was right, Maya did find it difficult to follow exactly what her new slave was saying with how fast the girl spoke. But that didn’t matter because she didn’t care what she was saying anyway. She cared about a very different pair of lips down below. Maya snapped her fingers and pointed to the spot on the ground between her legs. 

Cassie whimpered, but got on her knees in front of her. She'd asked Maya to go easy on her. She didn't exactly mention not making her do anything. "A-am I using my tongue again?"

Maya fully undid her jumpsuit and then gave her a look that epitomised ‘what do you think?’

Cassie's lip quivered as she choked out a whiny sob, then reluctantly nuzzled her face in the woman's crotch and began licking. She knew better than to get on her bad side now.

Maya rested her head back against the wall and sunk into the feeling of Cassie's inexperienced tongue. Cassie did the bare minimum, licking quickly and trying to avoid one spot for too long. At one point she looked up at Maya, hoping to make eye contact and see if she was doing okay. Maya looked back down at her dissaprovingly. She hadn’t had much experience with this sort of thing, but she’d been with enough women behind bars (some willing, others less so) to know she found her performance pretty lacking. Cassie whimpered at the look, licking even faster in the hopes that that would help. She didn't like Maya, but she definitely wanted to keep her happy. Cassie got verification when Maya pet her hair to indicate that she was doing better.

Cassie moaned softly, then blushed. She'd momentarily gotten lost in the memory of how her boyfriend used to pet her hair like that. She continued the rapid licks, mentally crossing her fingers that Maya would get off soon. Her wish was granted, sort of, as Maya got closer and closer until, with a powerful shudder, she came on Cassie’s face. Cassie grunted in disgust as her face was splattered, looking away and whimpering as she tried to find something to clean her face with. Maya zipped up her jumpsuit and then, in her own sort of semblance of pity, chose to hand Cassie a blanket off the bottom bunk. It was one she’d masturbated on pretty much nightly in the hot sweaty solitude of her cell and now it would be Cassie’s blanket. It was a gift. Kind of. Not at all. 

Cassie grabbed the blanket, quickly wiping away her face and giving a quiet thank you that Maya wouldn't be able to hear even if it was a shout. She then threw the blanket away, disgusted by how odd it felt. "I think something's wrong with that blanket..."

Maya shrugged like she didn’t know what could possibly be wrong with it. <That’s the only blanket you’ll get> she signed. 

Cassie watched her sign, looking up at her in confusion. "I'm sorry... I don't understand what you're saying."

Maya pointed at the blanket and then back at Cassie. 

Cassie blushed, squirming a little bit at the thought of using that for her blanket. "O-okay. Yeah, um... I'll just have the guards wash it first." Surely they washed the pillows and blankets on a semi-regular basis.

Maya gave her an annoyed look but didn’t push the topic any farther. Cassie could use it or not use it, she didn’t care as long as it was clear there wouldn’t be a replacement. She figured it was probably sort of clean anyways. It was washed at least two months ago, which was apparently fine to her. 

Cassie stared at Maya for a moment, unsure of what to do next. "Wanna play a game?" It was the only thing Cassie knew to do that might ease the tension. They certainly couldn't have an in-depth conversation.

Maya enthusiastically nodded yes. Life in her small cell was honestly really boring. Usually if she wasn’t working as Vanessa Fisk’s enforcer, she was in the gym or just laying in her cell waiting for the next day to come. A game seemed like a nice change of pace. 

Cassie perked up slightly, actually feeling hopeful for once. It seemed like maybe the woman wasn't as bad as she thought. "Okay! Um... A-any chance the guards give out board games?" She took a look around the tiny cell, then back at Maya. "Hide and Seek might not be an option..."

Maya expressed her enjoyment of Cassie's quip but nodded no. She didn’t exactly have much of a reason to steal a board game from the rec room when she was living alone.

Cassie smiled softly as Maya enjoyed her joke. Okay... maybe she could do this. Maybe Maya could be reasoned with. "Well, um... How about Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

Maya answered by already laying one palm flat and balling her fist. She was clearly into the idea.

Cassie let out a little squeal of excitement, covering her mouth so Maya couldn't tell she was making a noise. She then matched Maya's pose, slamming her fist into her palm… “Rock, paper, scissors." ...until she picked rock. Maya looked up in confusion at why Cassie had covered her mouth but went along with it. With a smirk she chose paper.

Cassie gave her a smile. "Aww, looks like you beat me. Um... Wanna try again?"

Maya went again, going for rock this time, while Cassie chose scissors, huffing softly as she lost. She could get a little competitive, but Maya's enthusiasm for the game was keeping her grounded. "This is fun, right? Just hanging out."

Maya nodded in agreement. She would have added “It’s fun as long as I win” if she could. Two for two so far, she went for rock again.

Cassie chose scissors again, immediately blushing and burying her face in her hands. She groaned into her hands, then looked up at Maya. "You were supposed to pick..." She then remembered who she was messing with, and smiled nervously. "Great job!"

Maya’s wicked smile grew wider at her third victory. She agreed, she had done a great job if she did say so herself. Feeling pretty confident, she went for scissors next. 

Cassie went for scissors also, and smiled. It wasn't a win, but it felt much better than losing. Maya looked frustrated at the tie but found this exact moment amusing. Giving Cassie a knowing grin, she made scissors of both her hands and brought them together, moving her fingers in subtle writhing motions and miming an orgasmic facial expression.

Cassie was... confused to say the least, staring at Maya like she was crazy. What was she doing? What were those motions? Still, she couldn't get her angry, so she smiled. "Yeah! That's funny!"

Maya nodded in agreement, she found herself to be very funny. Thinking Cassie understood the joke, she returned to the game with an air of self-satisfaction. This time around she chose paper. Cassie sighed internally as Maya began playing the game again. She was quickly growing tired of it, but wanted to keep Maya happy. She chose scissors again, managing a little smile as she won.

Maya’s cocky expression immediately dropped and she stared Cassie down with a murderous look in her eyes. The gaze made Cassie's face fall and she let out a whimper as her lip quivered. Any joy Cassie had felt at the win had vanished. "I'm sorry! This isn't a game I can lose on purpose. It's just chance mostly..."

Maya observed, not easing her tense expression a little, how her slave panicked. It was impossible to tell whether she was amused or planned to attack. Impossible that is until she waved her hand, non-verbally expressing that she didn’t care. 

Cassie sighed with relief, letting out a little nervous giggle. "Cool... Um. Wanna play another game?" She had no idea what other games they could play.

Maya nodded. Unable to explain what she had in mind, she pulled out a book and set it between them. Flipping through to the thirteenth page she slid her finger across the paper until it pointed to the word “you” and then across her finger went to the word “wash” and down to “me.” It wasn’t really a game, even she was willing to admit that. But she had neglected to actually wash herself in the showers with all the excitement and they’d gotten off mine duty not long ago so now seemed as good a time as any. 

Cassie watched with an unusual amount of excitement as Maya got out the book. What new fun things were her and her kinda/sorta new friend going to- "Oh, um... Wash? Like... How would I... wash you?"

Maya, not wanting to explain the obvious, simply tugged the front of Cassie’s zipper open and gestured for her to go to the sink. Cassie blushed as her jumpsuit was unzipped, revealing her boobs. She happily hurried over to the sink, hoping to hide her exposed parts from view.

Maya tapped the cover of the book to get Cassie to turn around so she could see her mime taking off the jumpsuit and running it under the stream of water from the sink. She really was starting to feel like she had to explain everything. 

Cassie frowned sadly as she removed her jumpsuit, now stuck in her underwear as she ran it under the water. Still, she was at least thankful to not be naked. Maya found the sight of Cassie down to so little with her back turned, shimmying her “Property of The Raft” marked butt, very enjoyable. Without any semblance of shame Maya once more undressed as well, although she opted to remove everything , exposing her sweat-glistened body in full. 

Cassie finished with the jumpsuit, shutting off the water before turning and immediately feeling uncomfortable at the sight of the naked Maya. "Am I washing... everything?"

Maya eagerly nodded yes, tossing her prison-panties on to the bed and stretching her legs out.

Cassie looked away as she walked over to her cellmate… "Where do I start?" ...though this meant her lips weren't very visible as she spoke.

Maya sat blankly, awaiting Cassie to begin without knowing she’d even said anything. <Are you going to start?> She signed after a pause.

Cassie noticed the hand movements, looking down and trying desperately to keep her eyes locked on Maya's, not wandering to anything more intimate. "Sorry, what? Where do you want me to start?"

Maya retrieved her underwear, stood up, then pointed to her breasts. Cassie whined, but got on her knees and began to do as told. She continued to look away, and rubbed at them rather roughly, just wanting to get this over with.

Maya actually enjoyed the rough approach Cassie took to cleaning her tits. But that didn’t stop her from turning her underwear inside-out and shoving them into the heroine’s mouth. While the pair were thankfully new (which was lucky for Cassie considering changes of clothes were only provided twice a week), the fact that Maya had been wearing them since after the shower, through her shift in the mine, during her semi-intense workout in the prison gym, and then while she boredly masturbated to pass the time while waiting for Cassie to show up at her cell, made that fact obsolete. 

Cassie's eyes shot open as the disgusting panties were shoved in her mouth, immediately retching and gagging at the taste. She looked up at Maya with sad eyes, having thought they were getting along. What had she done to deserve such a distasteful punishment.

Maya looked back at her and gave a casual shrug. If Cassie could understand what she was saying she would have said “I want you to clean those too” but she didn’t even know how she would begin to try and mime that. Raising a finger she poked the panties protruding from Cassie’s mouth.  The poke pushed the panties against the back of Cassie’s throat, causing her to gag once again while she continued to wash Maya's boobs. She would then begin to move the wet jumpsuit down to her mistress' stomach, hoping this would speed up the process.

Maya nodded in approval, figuring that Cassie was only speedily limiting the number of non-fun places to wash. The quicker she washed the basic places the quicker she’d have to start on the places she’d hate . Maya was right because Cassie made record time of washing Maya's stomach and arms, stopping at her neck before moving to the woman's legs. Before long, she'd done everything except her face, feet, and that middle part she hated so much.

Maya pointed at her own face, wanting that sorted before Cassie used the same jumpsuit to wash her lower regions. It was basic hygiene after all. 

Cassie nodded, reaching up and washing the girl's face. She would let out a little muffled cough as the taste of the dirty underwear got too bad, then whined softly.

<Do they taste bad?> Maya taunted, knowing she wouldn’t get an answer. It really made taunting people less fun if they didn’t know she had even done it.

Cassie looked confused, but decided to just ignore it. She wiped away a small tear that had formed, then continued rubbing away at Maya's face. But in a sudden moment of bratty frustration, she scraped the jumpsuit extra hard against the woman's ear. She hoped her mistress would think it was a painful accident. But Maya didn’t in fact think it was an accident. Giving the girl a death stare, she intended to convey that getting aggressive again would be met with much more than just a look. She understood why Cassie might be frustrated, but it wasn’t her problem. If she couldn’t do her tasks well she would have to painfully teach her how. 

Cassie gasped at the sight of the glaring Maya, blushing and lowering her head as she obediently scrubbed at the rest of Maya's body. She still had a hard time considering this woman wasn't all bad. Bad, but not all. “I’m sorry…” she murmured through her gag. 

Maya slowly nodded and smiled, accepting what maybe was an apology. The gag made it impossible to tell but the movement of Cassie’s mouth looked close enough to one. It honestly seemed like quite a bizarrely friendly moment between the unlikely duo, ignoring the fact that they were both completely naked and Maya was making Cassie wash her of course. She really did enjoy the company. Would it have been better if they could communicate more fluidly? Yes, but it was still nice. Cassie had even let out a relieved laugh as Maya smiled, taking a deep breath as she realised everything was okay.

Noting how nice the moment was, Maya of course had to ruin it by indicating for Cassie to pause for a moment while she promptly bent over the bed and presented her very round butt. The brief moment of peace Cassie felt dissipated, her heterosexual disgust would make itself known once again as Maya turned around, and the blushing and whimpering Cassie got to work scrubbing at the woman's rather plump rear end.

Maya really enjoyed the sensation, likely too much. Feeling the wet jumpsuit rub against her skin, Cassie scrubbing just a bit fast in her clear discomfort at the task, Maya had an idea. She immediately lowered her right hand and began touching herself, rubbing her clit in circular motions that mimicked the motions in which Cassie washed her.  

Cassie shut her eyes as she hurriedly scrubbed away, only for them to shoot open when she heard the sound. “ Ugh. This is so wrong” she thought to herself, shaking her head and finishing up with the woman's cheeks.

Maya looked disappointed that Cassie finished washing her butt without having a chance to climax yet, and so she spun around and decided the girl could make up for that. Withdrawing her hand from between her thighs, she gestured with a wet finger for Cassie to wash her…down there. She was technically still honouring her promise to not make her use her mouth.

Cassie whined again through her panty gag, but was at least happy she wouldn't be using her fingers or tongue. Though as she began rubbing away at Maya's wet pussy, the fear of having to put this jumpsuit back on was palpable. She figured she should probably get used to the idea of being humiliated, but didn't exactly want to just yet.

Getting increasingly excited, Maya reached an arm back and gripped Cassie’s hand, directing her to scrub between her pussy lips. She was fine with her being rough now if she wanted. Whether she got the hint or was just incredibly frustrated by the whole thing, Cassie began rubbing very roughly. She just wanted to get this over with, go to sleep, and get the tiniest bit of peace before doing this all over again. “All over again”... She wasn't built for this place. Maya, already quite close, shook with delight at the thorough “wash.” Before she knew it her knees practically buckled as she came hard on the jumpsuit. Cassie should have known it was inevitable, but her eyes went wide with shock as her jumpsuit was defiled, dropping it and looking up at Maya in panty gagged horror.

Maya gave her a puzzled look that said ‘what’s your problem?’ She didn’t really see what the big deal was given the amount of dirt and blood that usually ended up on her own clothes. Genuinely curious, she plucked her pair of underwear from out of Cassie’s mouth and expected her to elaborate. 

Cassie gasped for clean air as the panties were finally removed, coughing a bit before looking at Maya, though she was unsure exactly what she was expected to say. "Um... thank you?'

Maya nodded dismissively…and then pushed them back into Cassie’s mouth. She grabbed the book again and pointed to two words “every” and “night.” 

Cassie gagged once again as the panties were stuffed right back in, whimpering at the words before gesturing to the gag. She had so many questions. When could she take it out? Would this be every night too? She received no further elaboration. Maya tossed Cassie the dirty blanket and climbed up to the top bunk where she sprawled herself out on the thin mattress. 

Cassie let out a disgusted squeak as the blanket was tossed to her, throwing it to the floor and deciding she would go without any sort of covering for the night. 

Chapter 24: Caged Lang - Part 4

Chapter Text

It was another gruelling day in the mines for Amy Bendix, and while she was ready to just relax for a bit and give her aching feet a break, the Cuckoos had a better idea in mind. "Hey, Cum Licker. We've got a proposition for you." They were still very much amused by Amy's reluctant following of their orders the other day.

Shooting up from her seat in the yard, Amy looked at the ominously identical siblings with mild dismay. “Is that gonna be my nickname now?” she asked in a bored tone. Admittedly she found the humiliation of the nickname a bit hot.

The Cuckoos all smirked in unison, not caring about her apparent boredom with the nickname. They thought it was hilarious. "Of course it is. We've already told everyone we know that's your name now." They then went silent for a moment, using their telepathic hive mind for a private conversation before getting closer to the girl. "How'd you like to meet our boss?'

“Really? You’ll let me meet her?” Amy asked, eyes wide in excitement. She reacted like she was about to meet her personal hero, not a woman who was currently in prison for a myriad of deeply perverted crimes. It took her a moment to think that it seemed too easy. “Wait, what’s the catch?”

The Cuckoos smiled again, rather flirtatiously this time. "You have to do three tasks, each worse than the last. Oh, and there will be a warm up first." They said, in creepy unison as always.

Amy fidgeted uncomfortably, but no amount of discomfort would make her see reason enough to think that to accept would be a bad idea. Giving it just a moment's thought, she nodded. “I’ll do whatever you want”

They gave her a nod, then one by one they dropped their jumpsuits and undies, turned around, and stuck their bare butts out at Amy. "Give us each a kiss, then you get your first official trial."

Amy looked at their pale round rears with clear enthusiasm and then promptly got on her knees and pressed her lips against them, giving each of the ominous women a tender kiss upon their arse. “If this is what the trials are like this is going to be a piece of cake” she thought to herself, not knowing that at least one of the Cuckoos probably heard the thought. 

Or at least she wouldn't get to know for certain, but the answer would seem obvious as they stood back up and pulled up their pants, careful not to give the horny girl a view of their pussies. "Your trials won't be as easy as the warm up. Your first task is to steal Illyana's little puppet. Lockheed will be ours or you won't be."

“Got it” Amy nodded again with half her focus on wishing she could see the frontside of the Cuckoos. “Just one question: who’s Illyana?”

The Cuckoos scoffed, though it was more about Illyana than Amy's lack of knowledge. "She's a snarky mean girl who thinks she's better than us just because she scares the loser mutants more. We like the idea of knocking her down a peg." They hadn't even informed Emma yet. Whether or not she would care is another story.

————————————————————— 

Amy Bendix needed no further information before she eagerly set off, strutting towards Illyana’s cell with an unearned sense of confidence. How hard would it be to steal a puppet? She grew up on the streets, committing petty crimes to get by. Thievery was like the one thing she was great at in her own opinion. Were the Cuckoos intentionally giving her the easiest tasks imaginable? 

Not even the lustful moans of intimate inmates could distract her from her task. Soon she’d be a slave of the Emma Frost - she just had to get this over with. Arriving at the cell she’d been told to visit, she immediately was forced to a groan. That goth chick from the mines was there, the one whose name Amy had totally forgotten. 

Rogue was currently screaming her head off, deciding cries of pain were far less humiliating than outright pleading for mercy. She refused to give her tormentor that satisfaction as Illyana bounced her by her panties, the goth both furious and humiliated to be the subject of such a juvenile prank. "You wanna act like an immature brat, I'll treat you like one." All Rogue had done was glare when Illyana called her the "human chastity belt."

Amy knew she should have left (standing outside the cell was hardly inconspicuous after all) but she just couldn’t pull away. With a smirk on her face she watched the scene unfold. There was something deeply entertaining about seeing the “bitchy goth woman from the mines” having her prison-issued panties ripped so high in the air that her feet hovered above the ground. Amy really was curious if Rogue’s poorly made underwear would rip under the dire strain. 

Illyana chuckled as she watched Rogue bounce, pops and tears sounding out from the underwear. Her brother used to give her wedgies to "adjust her attitude" when they were younger, so this was a no-brainer for the blonde."Are you going to behave from now on?"

Rogue nodded, though probably would have said anything to escape. Illyana gave a final bounce that tore the panties in two. Having an evil idea, she took the half in her hands, shoved it in Rogue's ear, then yanked the front half out of the shrieking goth's pussy, shoving that part in the other ear.

It took Amy all her willpower to force her laugh back, not wanting to draw attention to her stalking. It had only been a few minutes of seeing Illyana at work, but she had no idea how the Cuckoos could possibly dislike this woman. Amy already had a huge respect for Illyana’s cruel style of bullying. If Amy preferred a more dominant role she hoped she would be like her. 

As much as she enjoyed the sight, Amy knew she was really pushing her luck just standing there. She may have had a quick respect for the woman, but she had a job to do after all and that just so happened to involve stealing from her. 

Illyana smiled down at the blushing Rogue, the goth's usually pale skin making her embarrassment more obvious. The blonde then reached under her pillow to pull out her favourite thing in the world: her puppet, Lockheed. She placed him on her hand and practically skipped over to Rogue, then crouched down and put the puppet up to her ear."What's that, Lockheed? You think Rogue should be more grateful I don't sell her for cigarettes? I totally agree. Perhaps we will have to start."

Her words were slightly muffled, but Rogue still understood and felt her heart sink. People may not be able to touch her, but not every inmate needed to to inflict maximum pain and humiliation. 

From Amy’s cover around the corner (which was not suspicious at all to anyone who saw her), she was forced to take a mental pause. Was Illyana talking to a puppet? Ok so maybe she wasn’t as cool as she seemed, but Amy was going to ignore that. She realised this was the puppet she was supposed to steal. The young thief really should have just left and returned later, but she still was enjoying eavesdropping too much. Her self-preservation skills were astoundingly lacking for a woman from such a rough background.

Rogue shook her head, indicating she didn't want to be sold for cigarettes, but then again, who would? Aside from Amy of course.

Illyana chuckled, mentally debating whether she'd go through with her plans, when she suddenly noticed Amy out of the corner of her eye. She turned, gasping at the sight of the girl. "Who are you?

Amy turned around as if Illyana could possibly be speaking to some other unseen pervert. Realising that no, the bully did in fact mean her, Amy blushed and took a step back. “Me?” 

She asked, sensing that the punishment she enjoyed watching be inflicted so much may soon be directed at her. 

Illyana nodded, a glare now appearing on her face. "Yes, you. Think you can get a front row seat to this moody brat's punishment without payment?" She then noticeably covered Lockheed with her free hand, hoping to keep him safe from this stranger.

“Payment? I mean I guess I wouldn’t mind sleeping with you…” Amy propositioned with fake reluctance. If Illyana accepted, Amy would kill two birds with one stone, having gotten to sleep with the sexy Russian bully and stealing the puppet. Maybe she’d even let her wedgie Rogue! Three birds.

Illyana raised an eyebrow and chuckled. She'd been thinking of something more sadistic, but honestly it had been awhile since she'd had sex. An entire two days! And she did enjoy that reluctance evident in her voice. "Have you ever slept with a woman before?"

“I have not!” Amy answered, a little too loudly. 

Illyana chuckled again. This girl was too cute. She stood up, placing her hands and Lockheed behind her back, then got up real close to Amy. "And are you into girls?" She said in a sweet voice.

“Yeah” Amy nodded, staring unafraid at Illyana. 

Illyana frowned, quickly losing interest. She was a cruel person who loved making people uncomfortable. She missed the girl's earlier reluctance. "Then find someone else. Get lost." She then returned to Rogue and began yanking up on the goth's jumpsuit causing her to groan at the new wedgie.

“Wait what? Oh c’mon…” Amy groaned. How was it so hard for her to get turned out in prison? Cassie Lang was claimed on day one but here Amy was, two days in, and still a fucking virgin. Her feelings were honestly a little bit hurt. Enough so that she’d completely forgotten about the fact she was meant to steal the puppet. Currently she just wanted Illyana’s approval. 

Speaking over Rogue’s pained cries from her jumpsuit currently flossing her tender buttcrack, Amy said: “I’ll let you do whatever you want to me”

Illyana giggled a little as she listened to Rogue's cries of pain, then suddenly let go, kicking Rogue to the ground, and turned to Amy with a serious expression. "Anything?" She thought over this for a moment, then stood back up, planted a foot down on Rogue's butt, and got in Amy's face. "You're going to regret that." She then unzipped Amy's jumpsuit and pushed her out of it.

Amy was absolutely beaming as her jumpsuit dropped to the ground and she stood almost naked in the cellblock hallway, about to be dominated by Illyana. Without hesitation she pulled her underwear off and accidentally tossed them into another cell, not that she cared (they could even keep the pair). “You’re so…dominant” She said in a dreamy tone, shaking her naked body for her temporary mistress. It was already so much better than she imagined.

Illyana admired the girl's body. She was definitely one of the curvier girls in the Raft, something the Russian very much enjoyed. She reached out and began feeling up the girl's breasts for a moment, tilting her head back and forth as she kneaded them. After a few seconds, she stopped and locked eyes with her. "Lay down on my bed. On your back."

Amy didn’t need to be told twice. She crawled up onto the top bunk and layed down with her legs spread wide. Her heart was racing, her breaths already quick. 

Illyana smirked at how eager she was. She'd try to wipe that eagerness away. She pulled Rogue up by her jumpsuit and sat the goth down in her little cuck chair, then walked over to Amy. It was strange, but in a weird way Illyana saw it as a favour to Rogue considering the goth girl’s love of watching others get it on. 

Ilyana felt her heartbeat pick up as she caught a glimpse of Amy's buxom cheeks, looking even larger due to her lying position. "Ever stuck a finger up your butt before?"

“I tried once…it actually kind of hurt” By “‘once’ Amy meant the previous night when she was feeling exceptionally horny in her cell. It had been an interesting series of (mostly successful) attempts at pleasuring herself to various parts of her cell, including rubbing her pussy against the cold vibranium bars after lights out. Cassie probably would have been thankful she’d been moved to live with Maya if she knew what she would have had to watch Amy do in the cell they shared for that first night. Amy briefly noted that she should probably tell Cassie not to use her toothbrush before thoroughly washing it when her stuff was moved to her new cell. Amy had had to find something to penetrate herself with after all…

Illyana gave Amy's rear a gentle caress, then moved her fingers over to the girl's crack. "This will be so much worse." Then, without a second of hesitation, she pushed her fist into the crack before her, pressing against Amy's tight hole and trying to force her way inside.

“Oh fuck!” Amy screamed at the sudden violation, feeling a whole new type of pain she hadn’t imagined. It was so much worse than when Officer Renee had conducted her cavity search. Her juicy ass shook, cheeks vibrating, as she tried to deal with the pain. She’d never been so turned on and in this much pain in her entire life. 

Illyana was very happy as she shoved her fist into Amy's tightest area, actually managing to get her knuckles inside. With a little more time, she'd managed to get her entire fist in. "Regret your decision yet, strange horny girl?"

“OW…no” Amy replied, weakly. The pain of Illyana attempting to shove her fist up her butt was completely overwhelming in the best (and worst) way possible. The thief shut her eyes and let herself completely fall into it…and then came a voice from outside the cell. 

“Inmate Rasputina, your turn for mop duty! Get on it!” A guard ordered from afar

Illyana's smile vanished the second she heard the guard, biting her lip and fuming internally. She may be powerful among her fellow prisoners, but she had no sway with the guards. That wouldn't stop her from trying to delay her job. "Can I have five minutes?" She secretly began sliding her other hand out of Lockheed, letting him drop to the floor and kicking him under the bed.

“You’ll do as told, inmate” The guard said, unsympathetic to Illyana’s plight. Meanwhile, Amy let out the most miserable whine imaginable, knowing she wouldn’t get to finish. She was starting to wonder if she was cursed. Was this karma for stealing Daredevil’s costume?

Illyana sighed as she removed her hand from Amy’s butt and placed it to her side, turning to Rogue and giving her a death glare that implied she'd better keep Lockheed's location secret or else. She then made her way over to the guard, pouting the entire time. She couldn't resist the chance to snark at her current order giver. "You sure you don't want me to lick the cum off the bars?"

Amy tended to her pained bottom by laying stomach-down on Illyana’s bed. She considered just staying there until Illyana returned, not really caring that Rogue was staring, but then she remembered why she was there at all: Lockheed. Weakly springing out of bed, she rubbed her aching butt. She needed to be sure Rogue wouldn’t say a word about what she was about to do. Making sure Illyana was out of hearing range, she asked: “So your cellmate’s kinda a dick, huh?”

Rogue sighed, looking down at the ground in shame. This girl had seen everything, and could still see the ripped panty sticking out of her ears. "That's an understatement. You have no idea what it's like sharin’ a cell with her every day..."

“Yeah that must suck…”  Amy did a poor job of feigning genuine sympathy. “...so you wouldn’t snitch if I took that puppet of hers?”

Rogue crossed her arms and looked even less happy than usual. "She'd kill me if I helped make that thing go missin’. Good thing I didn’t see it happen”

“Thanks” Amy said as she put her jumpsuit on and then reached under the bed, taking Lockheed. Amy left as quickly as she possibly could with her wounded behind, departing down the cellblock (Lockheed in hand) at rapid pace. First task complete.

It wouldn't be long before Illyana returned to her cell, wiping her mouth in disgust. Her little quip hadn't gone unpunished, and the guard had made her do exactly what she joked about. She returned to find that Rogue and Amy were both missing, her goth cellmate having booked it out of there after Lockheed was taken. Speaking of the puppet, Illyana smiled as she crouched down and reached under the bed… "Alright, Lockheed. Let's have some fun-." ...only to gasp as she found nothing. "Lockheed?!"

Chapter Text

Rogue watched petulantly as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio fled the noisy overused recreation room for the haven of the warm uncomfortable bed of their cell. For the last half hour she’d been forced to sit alongside the sickeningly sweet couple on the only available couch in the room as the two spoke every subtle (and not-so-subtle) promiscuous obscenity to each other in-between making new-arrival Jubilee grab random things.  It wouldn’t have been so annoying…if she wasn’t so starved of contact. It was just her luck that her power-dampening collar had managed to shut off her mutation that allowed her to absorb abilities but it kept the extremely isolating “touch of death” as she’d started calling it. Whilst everyone else seemed to constantly be in the passionate throes of each other, lapping and licking each other’s holes to their heart’s content, the glum goth was physically unable to even touch anyone without them feeling like a shiv was being jammed into their flesh. She hated to be a stereotype, but, given the circumstances, she couldn’t help but be ever-melancholic. Her superpower was basically forced chastity at this point. All in all, it sucked. 

Everyone in The Raft had an intimate intake story about how Officers Weaver or Winters gleefully enjoyed the privilege of seeing the world’s most famous superwomen naked, slowly searching every last curve of their bodies and willingly or unwillingly making them cum. Everyone, that is, except Rogue. Again, thanks to her “superpower” she got to be bent over and have her cute pale white butt felt up by a cold unfeeling robot for ten minutes before being brought naked over to a mugshot board for her pictures. She actually didn’t mind the last part so much, taking the time to pose the best she could, but the point still stood. Rogue was more than familiar with the trope of how horny for each other women got behind bars (nights at X-Mansion were lonely) but thought it was just a fantasy made up in admittedly over-the-top pornos. But then she got to The Raft where it was all very true and she couldn’t even do anything but watch. 

The first few days of her incarceration weren’t so bad. Both Typhoid Mary and Karli Morganthau had tried to claim her in the showers on separate occasions, everyone wanted a big titty goth gf after all (despite the fact that only the goth gf part was true in her case). Both quickly ended up making an embarrassment of themselves as soon as they groped her. Typhoid Mary persistently tried but even her masochistic tendencies had limits, and Rogue was pretty sure Karli quietly started crying from the pain. It was sorta like a weird anti-prison bitch mutation. Everyone knew she was too tough to claim, or at least it would hurt too much to force her tongue between their thighs, but then she started getting bored in her cell. 

Locked up in a hot overcrowded cell (she shared a room with two other women and they only had two beds in total so two of them shared) and unimaginably bored, the almost ever-present sounds of moans all along the cellblock made her more excited than she’d ever been. Despite that, she couldn’t do a thing because she had to share a cell with Laura Kinney and Psylocke. Night one she’d tried to wait until the two of them fell asleep and then in the darkness of lights out quietly sneak her hand down beneath her jumpsuit to relieve herself of the desire already drenching her prison-issued panties. It had totally felt worth it…until the next morning.

Rogue awoke the next morning to see Laura looming over her. She remembered well the grave smirk on Laura’s face as she responded, “I could hear you touching yourself last night, puta. I thought about killing you, but I decided I’ll be nice to my poor horny cellie and help you get off.” That had been when Rogue looked down and noticed that a single long blade, a claw, was extended out between Laura’s knuckles, teetering just a flick away from giving Rogue a very painful cut between her legs. 

Rogue was obviously horrified and pleaded with Laura to not “help” her. Although nothing ever came of the threat, for the next few weeks she had been too scared to try, despite how much she wanted to. It felt like a nightmare as, every night, she kept catching her hands slipping down along her orange clothes just longing to get off already. Every fibre of the poor goth mutant’s being shook with anticipation she was too fearful to give in to.

She was just about on the verge of not caring anymore when Laura got dragged off to solitary for trying to kill a girl in Hydra for calling her a racial slur and Psylocke almost got what Rogue learned is apparently called “an early release” when she ended up in the infirmary thanks to a nasty fight with Ghost over the rights to claim Darcy Lewis. When Rogue heard neither would be back for awhile, she was practically ready to jump for joy. Not an extra moment passed after her work came to a close before she ran back to her cell, dropped her jumpsuit, and laid down (on Laura’s bed just for the fun of it). She didn’t care how sore her arms were from mining, she was going to do whatever she wanted for as long as she wanted. 

While anywhere outside of prison she would be ashamed to admit it, Rogue explored herself to the sight of the cell across from her. The newest prissy blonde unfortunate enough to land herself a stay behind bars, Karen Page, had been marched into her new home. A home she’d be sharing with Elektra, master assassin and, even worse, her boyfriend’s ex. Rogue’s fingers grinded against her wet crotch to the sight of Karen being forcefully stripped naked by her wicked cellmate and then getting pushed right up against the bars, perky breasts squeezed hard between the cold vibranium rods. The sight of the oddly-tantalising cruelty felt overwhelming. By the time Elektra had actually undressed herself and forced Karen to lick her arse, Rogue had made herself come twice. Watching as the new girl lapped away at her cellmate’s butt, a look of shock and disgust embedded on her face, Rogue almost envied her. 

Rogue adjusted to incarcerated life as best she could; meaning she’d joined a prison gang, The Sisterhood. Arguably the word “joined” was a bit of an exaggeration since she was granted immediate membership just due to being a mutant, and a former X-Men member no less, but still she was in a gang and that was kinda badass to her. She may not have been a super telepath like Emma Frost, or an internationally feared terrorist like Mystique, but Jean Grey had taken a liking to her thanks to the extreme pain her touch brought. Sure she got bullied for being relatively new to the group and her dark style attracted some mockery, but she didn’t have to worry about getting shivved. Despite all of those benefits though, Rogue’s pretty pale goth face was in a permanent pout as the women all around her moaned. She’d dreaded prison and longed for freedom when she was first arrested, but truthfully at this point she just wished she could join in on the fun. It was a lonely existence, but Rogue reminded herself that the notion of friendship in prison was merely an invitation to be stabbed in the back. Case in point, her cellmate.

“Now what’s got you depressed, Wednesday Addams? Did someone smile at you?” Illyana Rasputina asked in her Russian accent, a playful grin on her face as she crashed down onto the cushion beside Rogue. Was throwing herself down onto a seat next to someone who, if she accidentally banged into, it would feel like her skin was being peeled off very wise? Probably not. 

“Careful! Look, ain’t you got somewhere else to sit?” Rogue asked in her equally strong southern drawl. She knew logically it would be Illyana’s own fault if they accidentally touched but she didn’t want to get blamed for it like she inevitably always did.

Illyana only shrugged as she got herself comfortable. “I want to sit here. You can leave” she suggested while staring up at the crappy TV set up in the rec room. I Love Lucy was on…what a surprise. “Do you ever smile?”

“October 31st, 2013. It was the worst ten seconds of my life” Rogue crossed her arms as she shrunk into the worn down corner of the couch to put distance between herself and the woman sitting next to her. Hoping to distance herself from the conversation, she looked anywhere that wasn’t in Illyana’s direction, eventually settling on the sight of Jubilee. “Sorry. She said I have to do this” the girl apologised sincerely as she appeared from nowhere and stole the television remote from Wanda, changed the channel, and then fled as quickly as possible. 

“So did you see what happened to Moonstar this morning?” Illyana made small talk as she nestled herself cozily on the couch. When Rogue failed to respond she added, “Spilled her tray, covered herself in slop, remember?” She really didn’t need to add details to jog Rogue’s memory since everyone saw but she felt it was worth adding. 

Rogue sighed as she realised that it was pointless to be quiet in hopes Illyana would leave her alone. “Didn’t ya shove her?” she asked tiredly.

“I helped her” Illyana defended, before adding “It is not like she can’t afford to miss a few meals.” The joke wasn’t funny but Illyana proudly chuckled at her own response. 

Rogue just rolled her eyes, Maybe her annoying “friend” would leave her alone now? The silence lasted a whole of thirty seconds.  

Illyana wasn’t oblivious to Rogue’s clear displeasure and so decided to keep going. “Seriously, I need you to lighten up. You’re making me want to kill myself” she teased. She knew that Rogue didn’t like being deemed miserable. 

“C’mere a second I think my collar just started working” Rogue dryly threatened just to get her to shut up. The attempt didn’t work though as Illyana just stared at her with a suppressed laugh that quickly became far less suppressed. 

As Illyana started with some quippy remark Rogue just got up from her seat. Her cell was preferable at this point. Unfortunately for her, they shared a cell so this break was very temporary.Before she’d even fully risen from the cushion, Illyana stopped her with a simple sentence. “I know what you did” the blonde mutant beamed. 

Rogue genuinely didn’t know what she was referring to but it couldn't have been good. Genuinely bewildered, Rogue nervously asked: “What do you mean?”

“You know what I’m talking about” Illyana replied in an annoying sing-song voice. 

Growing tenser, Rogue said: “No, I really don’t.” She’d already exceeded her limit on Illyana for the day five minutes ago. “Can’t you just tell me?”

“I knew you were a pervert, but this…it’s a new low even for you” Illyana was relentlessly vague. 

Rogue tensed. “Seriously, what did I do?”

“I know you’ve been stealing underwear and doing whatever it is you do with them” Illyana relayed with the most punchable smile. 

“What the fuck? No I haven’t!” Rogue exclaimed in complete disgust. She was sexually desperate, but she would never do that .

Illyana rolled her eyes. “Uh yeah you did. I found them under your bed. You either stole them, or they just magically appeared there. I’m sure not being able to touch anyone can be lonely but I can’t just let you continue being a disgusting little pervert.” she said very loudly, deliberately making sure everyone in the room could hear.

“You’re gonna shut up or I swear-” Rogue was prepared to face whatever consequences may come from harming Illyana but was forced to stop as someone approached from behind. Terror struck Rogue as she turned around to see her approaching fast with furious determination and a look on her face that announced that she was ready to do what she was best at (a grim fate that even Rogue wouldn’t have much enjoyed). Despite her stature, just one look from Laura terrified most Sisterhood members who weren’t named Jean or Emma Frost. To her credit, Rogue didn’t flinch, but her eyes did widen, which for her was an emotional declaration akin to screaming. 

“I should have known it was you” Laura growled, taking hold of the collar of Rogue’s jumpsuit and pulling her in close. As Rogue had learned during their brief time as cellmates, Laura was a no-nonsense kind of woman who was volatile on a good day. 

“Do I look stupid enough to attempt to steal from you?” Rogue questioned, careful to keep her tone collected and flat. Through observation she’d since learned from their previous violent encounter that it was best to not show fear. “Actually, let me rephrase that before it backfires. Why would I steal from you ?”

“Because you’re a pervert” Illyana chimed in from her place on the couch, receiving a low sort of snarl from Laura that promptly made her shut up. 

Rogue had no chance of overpowering the furious lab-experiment, but she could maybe talk her way through this. “You have a reputation for brutality. There are plenty of other options. Why not steal from Dani and Rahne?”

Laura clenched her jaw and paused. Equal parts thinking over the validity of Rogue’s point and wanting to just kill her here and now. Letting Rogue go, she said: “Uniform off” 

“Why?” Rogue asked, brow raised. 

“Uniform. Off”

Not daring to refuse Laura’s demand, the goth looked with dead eyes at her tormentor as she got to work unzipping her jumpsuit. Her clothes fell to the floor, leaving her in nothing more than her white underwear. Crossing her arms to conceal her pale tits, she waited for whatever fresh torment Laura had planned. This would have been funner had Rogue been able to be touched. 

“Give me your jumpsuit” Laura commanded, hand outstretched. 

Rogue rolled her eyes but did as told, giving the hideously bright orange clothes over with a sigh. “What’s the point of this?” she asked expressionlessly. 

Laura took the jumpsuit and slung it over her shoulder. “You get it back when you find the person who actually did it. If you don’t find them before tomorrow I’ll cut your clit off.”

Rogue nodded in understanding, internally groaning at the way her day had turned out. She’d simply wanted to return to her cell while Illyana wasn’t present for a period of ‘personal time’ (not that she hadn’t ever done it while Illyana was in the room, but she preferred to not hear the girl heckle her through the process). Now she had a case to solve, the promise of a vile injury to escape, and a lack of clothing to deal with. This day was turning out to be quite dreadful. 

————————————————————— 

Arms still crossed, Rogue walked slowly through the halls of The Raft in quiet contemplation on who could be the culprit. The most painfully obvious suspect was Illyana herself, possibly driven to framing Rogue out of some new scheme to make her miserable. Could it have been comeuppance for Rogue’s role in the kidnapping of Lockheed? She wouldn’t have put it past Illyana to risk getting her killed over ‘misplacing’ a puppet…but stealing from Laura was moronic. It involved far too much risk of being caught for Illyana to have snuck into her cell and done the job herself. Could she have paid someone? It would have to be someone both exceptionally stupid and desperate. Stupid and desperate…Amy Bendix!

At once Rogue picked up her pace in search of the young criminal. Last she heard she was still trying to earn her way into Emma Frost’s stupid sex cult (‘stupid’ solely because Rogue couldn’t join). Rogue decided there were two possibilities for the motive: Illyana tracked Amy, Lockheed’s actual thief, down and forced her into doing a favour (not that Amy probably minded much), or this was another of the girl’s weird tasks set forth by the Stepford Cuckoos. Both seemed plausible enough.

The goth tracked down Amy through a process of elimination to the cell of the aforementioned Cuckoos, who had the criminal earning favour between tasks by doing small acts of servitude. Standing outside the cell, Rogue couldn’t help but be admittedly impressed by the thief’s ability to multitask.Currently Amy’s face was nestled between the cheeks of Esme (or was it Phoebe?) while her right hand worked away furiously slipping back and forth at the wet pussy of Celeste (or wait was Celeste Esme?), and her left hand massaged someone-who-was-maybe-Sophie’s sore feet. Rogue had no way of differentiating the identical quintuplets. They all just looked like the exact same younger Emma Frost. 

While they nodded, nearly fapping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at their chamber door. Rogue entreated entry but received nothing more than the quintuplets all stopping any signs of movement or pleasure, as if frozen, at once. Entirely silent for a moment, they abruptly all looked up at the exact same time. “What do you want?” they asked in perfect unison. Rogue appreciated their knack for the creepy sibling thing.

“I need to borrow Amy. She took something off Laura…but you probably already knew that” Rogue realised the Manson Girls probably could clear this up for her pretty fast. There was all of sudden silence in which the sisters communicated telepathically on whose turn it would be to probe Amy’s mind…eventually settling on Esme. Their ability for entering people’s thoughts was a lot less powerful than Jean Grey’s – requiring the victim to have their mental walls down – but luckily Amy was hardly resistant to their whims. 

“Give us each a magazine from your collection and we’ll tell you what we know” They demanded.

Rogue sighed, she had a sudden headache that felt as if someone had taken a lead pipe to her head. “Sure” she  agreed, reasoning it was better to give away a part of her collection than have X-23 give her an amateur clitoridectomy. 

“She didn’t steal anything off Laura’s. You’ll have to keep looking if you want to avoid what Laura has planned for you” They read Rogue’s mind. That explained the piercing headache. “Oh and call us the Manson Girls again and we’ll find a use for you that even you wouldn’t enjoy. Now go”

That ruled out Rogue’s main suspect. Walking away, she attempted to figure out who else it could possibly be. She wasn’t well liked, but she (unfortunately) had few dire enemies. Psylocke had mellowed out quite a lot since she started dating Polaris. There was Dazzler, who she’d offended by saying “I find your music to be an ear-bleeding, uninspired cacophony of melodies with lyrics written only for mass-appeal.” They weren’t exactly friends after that, but she didn’t seem the type to orchestrate this. 

“Sorry. She said I have to do this” those words resurfaced in Rogue’s head…but from where? She strained to remember who had said it until she remembered that it was the new girl. Jubilee had been doing random acts all day. That seemed like a good enough lead. 

Rogue found Jubilee relaxing on a bench in the yard. Of course the culprit had to be hiding out under the eye-burning sunlight, Rogue’s one true weakness. She approached with a slightly emotion-tinted: “What did you do?”

Jubilee’s eyes went wide, doing a poor job of acting like she didn’t know what she did. “I don’t-”

“Don’t right now cuz I’ve got fuckin’ Laura Kinney about to mutilate me if I don’t prove I haven’t been taking her stuff. If you don’t talk I’m gonna make sure you spend the next few days in the infirmary. Why did you steal her underwear?”

Jubilee looked like a deer caught in headlights. “Negasonic dared me to” It was a shame that she confessed so fast. Rogue was looking forward to the prospect of torture.

Rogue genuinely was confused now. “Are you suicidal? Why would you accept that?”

“Why are your tits out?” Jubilee asked a question of her own, perplexed by Rogue’s current state of undress. She was having a hard time not staring. 

Rogue felt suddenly self-conscious but took it with stride. “Laura rook my clothes. Now answer the question”

“I didn’t want to…but I’m sure you know how ridiculous the Sisterhood hazing rituals are. It’s not my fault. You really should blame her!” Jubilee exclaimed. There were no Sisterhood hazing rituals. The whole point of the gang was that it was a haven for any mutant.  Rogue could have simply told Jubilee that, but Jubilee’s actions had caused her enough trouble today to not put the goth in a particularly helpful mood. 

“Yeah the hazing…” Rogue nodded. “Makes sense. But what I don’t get is why you put it under my bed”

“Oh Illyana caught me leaving Laura’s cell and told me part of the challenge was to put them there. I promise I didn’t even know it was your cell” 

Rogue found it pathetic how fast Jubilee explained everything. “Well you have to tell Laura that Negasonic made you do it. She’d be understanding” 

“Really? Because she seems pretty violent. Didn’t you just say she threatened to mutilate you?” Jubilee asked innocently. 

“Yeah but that’s cuz she just thought I did it for fun. She’d be fine if you explained it was part of the customary hazing ritual” Rogue was just remorselessly making things up. 

“I don’t know…” Jubilee looked at her dubiously 

“You’ve got my word. Besides, you either tell her now or…” Rogue took her glove off and raised it to touch Jubilee’s cheek. “...I’ll give you pain unimaginable” 

“A-Alright”

“Oh actually don’t tell her it was Negasonic that made you do it. Tell her it was Illyana, she likes her more” Rogue added. 

Jubilee nodded. “Got it” She had no idea of the pain she was in for…

Having reclaimed her jumpsuit from Laura, Rogue gloomily passed row after row of seemingly endless bars in cell block B, their inhabitants lucky enough to get to enjoy the privilege of getting to be intimate. The moans emanating, seemingly, from each she passed only served to torment the poor horny mutant. Honestly, she was jealous of all of them almost all of the time. She’d kill to get to be with someone other than her own hand just once. She wasn’t even picky how. Getting turned out and sold for fishsticks in the cafeteria? Sure that sounded great! Forced to clean her cellmate’s feet with her tongue as an act of humiliation? Awesome. Having her face sat on by Yelena? Cool! Getting taken to a guard’s office for a private session of punishment? That sounded amazing. What cruel goddess did a girl have to fuck to get to enjoy herself? She knew that if any of those scenarios actually happened she wouldn’t find it so fun, but a whole year of this constant, omnipresent, tease of what she couldn’t have was driving her insane. In summation, she was desperate .

Rogue’s mental rant about her chastity was suddenly stopped as a cloud of smoke was blown in her face from between the bars of a cell. Relaxing against the door of the cell was a smoking tattooed woman who jeered at their unwanted visitor. “Keep walking” she said as if Rogue needed to be told. 

Rogue passed by Elektra counting cigarettes on her the way down the cellblock, a topless Karen Page tucked beneath her finely toned arm in a terrifying death grip. Judging by how red her eyes were from crying, it was pretty clear Karen had just been forced to do something she absolutely didn’t want to do. Rogue thought it best to leave them be and not engage. 

At long last, Rogue arrived at her cell, Cell #1997, and opened the loud metal door. Closing it shut behind her, she tossed herself face-down on her bed with an agonised groan into (what would have been odd smelling if she wasn’t used to the unsavoury scent) mattress. She couldn’t take it anymore. Between her previously mentioned awful powers, the ever-obnoxious Illyana, painfully long hours in the mine, and every other aspect of prison life, she just needed a break from it. 

Rogue flipped over and reached down under the frame of her bed for one of many erotic magazines she’s traded cigarettes, meals, and books for. It was hardly something to be proud of, but the Gothic Southern Belle single handedly held The Raft’s largest porn collection. Dozens upon dozens of dirty magazines full of pictures of both men and women posing in all manner of states of undress. Yet she was bored of all of it. She’d tried getting ahold of a sex toy to maybe help liven things up a bit but they were surprisingly hard to trade for. Anything phallic was elusive in an all women’s prison and it was mostly gang leaders who managed to get ahold of them. 

With a sigh, Rogue picked a magazine at random and lifted it up for her personal viewing. The Timely Co. Swimsuit Special, ok. It wasn’t like she had “read” it a hundred times before. Setting it aside for a moment, she sat up and took off her jumpsuit entirely, doing away with the crumpled up itchy orange ball of clothing at the foot of her bed. There, she was free of that at least. She laid back down, now wearing nothing but her underwear, and held the spine of the cheaply made book in her left hand while her right took no time at all to trail its way between her firm thighs. 

She grazed her clit in slippery passes: inner and outer lips, playing in and out of her opening. Head back on the singular thin pillow, breathing rugged and harsh. 

Fast and shuddering, Rogue came upon her fingertips. Warmth spread through her and she let herself be lost in it, an afterglow just like so many before and yet just as euphoric. Her wet hand drew back along her intense dark chestnut bush (that had just a single adorable streak of pearl white running through it). She thought she’d pause for a moment but then, without even really knowing she was doing it, she pushed a finger back inside. She now knew another, much bigger, climax would be worth it. 

She made herself wait, slowing down so it would build more. Light strokes on her clit, the finger inside thrusting softly. She was so close to that edge, dancing along it, playing with how far she could possibly go.

Women passed her cell, some throwing glances at the masturbating goth girl while others didn’t care, but Rogue didn’t mind. It was hard to be shy in a place like The Raft where everyone saw you naked at least twice a week. Her chest heaved steadily with the rapid moves her fingers made along her pussy, wet sloshes almost as audible as the moans which escaped her ebony black lips. 

In a passionate frenzy, she cast the magazine she had been holding aside and shut her eyes. Her left hand found her pasty left tit and she grasped and teased at it as furiously as her right hand worked to get her off again. Staring off into the eternal blackness of her eyelids, she could almost imagine that all her efforts were being done by another. This person, who she was too enraptured to imagine fully, worked mind-blowing miracles with their tongue. At last, she felt it all come to a head as she let herself cum again.

Rogue tucked herself under her, now wet, blanket and did her best to ignore the hollow feeling she always had after her “private” moment had ended and she found herself in bed alone once again. Soon enough she slipped off into sleep without even realising she’d been tired. 

The Southern Belle awoke at 6 PM, about an hour after she’d fallen asleep, to the sound of the cellblock shouting their heads off at someone. Sounded like someone new must have arrived. Footsteps echoed down the hall, getting closer and closer to her cell. Rogue silently prayed she wouldn’t be the one getting yet another cellmate just as the guard stopped at her door. 

“Welcome to your new home” The guard remarked over the sound of the horny yelling of prisoners. The cell door opened itself and she shoved in the new inmate. Rogue already hated whoever her new cellmate was…until she saw who it was.

“Uh like thanks I guess…” the new girl paused, eyes looking over Rogue tucked underneath the blanket in shock. She was of slender build, a young woman with a fair petite figure that made the already bulky power-dampening collar around her neck look comically oversized. Her light brown hair was tied up in a messy ponytail with strands hanging over the sides of her face. “Oh. My. Gosh. Rogue?!” She stammered

Rogue was at a loss for words. The absolute last thing she wanted to see was her best friend, Kitty Pryde, locked up in The Raft with her, but, somewhere deep down, a selfish part of her was overjoyed to just see someone she knew she wouldn’t have to be on guard with. Most former X-Men had either gone crazy (Jean) or didn’t talk to her much (Storm). The question she asked was pointless but she stood by her surprise. “Kitty? What are you doin’ here?”

“They kinda found me like just trying to stay out of things and I got like caught by the sentinels, y’know? I didn’t even do anything!” Kitty insisted as the door slammed shut behind her. The guard left the two friends to catch up. They’d have plenty of time since they were both serving indefinite sentences. 

“That ain’t that much of a surprise to me…” Rogue said. She was really bad at being there for other people (especially since she was rusty at it thanks to being there for other people being an  open invitation to getting used in prison). “Are ya ok?” She tried

“Well my intake was just like totally unbelievable. The um guard just totally stripped me like fully naked and then did whatever she wanted with me” Luckily for Rogue, Kitty talked more than enough for the both of them. “I like had to uh hold still while she shoved her finger up my butt. I tried telling her it was like totally against my rights but she didn’t even listen! It was just so uncool. Did they do it to you too?”

Rogue looked at her with cold sympathy, though she couldn’t relate. “Well no…but everyon’ else has been through it. I was safe ‘cuz the whole touching ma’ skin makes people want to die thing”

“Oh right yeah. Your collar doesn’t um like do something about that? I kinda thought that was like the point” Kitty asked, more earnestly interested than just about anyone Rogue had talked to in the last year. 

“Yeah but me bein’ me, it didn’t really work too well. I just can’t absorb powers anymore” 

“That totally blows!” Kitty said cheerily, hoping having a somewhat positive tone would lighten Rogue up a bit. 

“Yeah…” Rogue nodded. She almost could forget that they were in prison right now and not their dorm in X-Mansion. Almost. Of course thinking that, the next thing Kitty asked was:

“So like how’s prison been? Between that bogus start and then all of the yelling on my way in, I um can’t say my expectations are really high, y’know?” Kitty asked. The naive young mutant was entering prison life far more oblivious than Rogue had. Her knowledge of prison life was limited to…everything. Hearing the expression “don’t drop the soap” would have been entirely new to the innocent superheroine. 

Rogue, never one to miss a grim detail, answered honestly: “It’s been real bad. Not to undermine ya, but your intake ain’t nothing in comparison to what I’ve seen in here, Kitty. It’s so much worse! Ma’ first day in here one of them tried to force herself on me in the showers and I only barely got away. Just yesterday I saw someone get sold as a slave for some cigarettes. They made her lick every hole”

Kitty managed to look both mortified and like she was mentally flashing through stages of cognitive dissonance. Her mind was seriously slow on computing just how vile those were. 

“What?! But I…reform…” she just murmured random words 

“There ain’t no reform here” Rogue replied a little bitterly, jaded from her year in the complete hellhole. But bitterness wasn’t going to help Kitty feel better so she added, “But I promise I’ll protect you. You got my word”

In the sudden surprise of seeing her best friend in her cell and then trying to catch her up on prison life, Rogue had completely forgotten she was naked underneath her blanket. So when she loosened her grip on it and the sheet came falling down…

“Oh hey woah!” Kitty exclaimed in embarrassed horror, quickly trying to avert her eyes from Rogue’s titties on full display. While she didn’t notice, the sudden panic made Kitty phase through the back of her jumpsuit for just the slightest of seconds before returning to her original position.

Rogue should have been cripplingly embarrassed, and she was, but Kitty managing to phase pushed all of that aside. She jumped out of bed and walked over to her friend. Her heart raced so fast that she felt like she could hear it. Back at X-Mansion Kitty had always been the only person she could touch because she could enter a state of half phasing and half material, just physical enough to be felt but not physical enough to experience the pain of Rogue’s touch. 

“Oh ma’ gawd! Hold still for a second!” She ordered a little more intensely than she meant. “Remember that thing ya could do before? So we could touch?” Rogue failed to see how creepy her saying that while naked came off, either a result of being super awkward or being in prison too long. 

Kitty still dramatically held her right hand over her eyes like a mother trying to protect the innocence of their child. “Uh….yeah…but like uh I can’t do that with the collar on” she said hesitantly as her very naked friend approached her.

“Can you just try? I really need to test somethin’” Rogue begged. She needed this to work. All this time she hadn’t been able to touch another person and now maybe that could finally change. 

Kitty rolled her eyes, “S-Suuuure…I guess. Just be careful!” She gave in and strained against her collar. There was usually a feeling of strange transcendence that came with phasing, a state where her body felt almost like air. But her body didn’t feel anything like that at the moment. It felt entirely, boringly, normal.

Rogue approached slowly, a single finger pointed out. Every second felt agonising as she feared hurting Kitty but she couldn’t stop herself from trying this. 

“If you kill me I’m gonna be like so mad” Kitty remarked 

With a gentle tap, Rogue’s finger pressed against Kitty’s hand and…nothing happened. Nothing happened! This was the best day of Rogue’s life. Her whole body seemed to race with sudden electrifying currents on a mission to alert every system in her body that she could touch someone else. “This is awesome! Oh ma’ gawd!”

“It worked- Whoah!!!” Kitty was about to ask but was suddenly cut off as her lips parted as Rogue’s own lips pushed against her. Tingles struck down her back as Rogue closed the gap between their mouths, first with the utmost gentleness, then with the hunger of a touch starved woman. It was a fiery thoughtless moment of passion that made Kitty go flush as it lingered. 

Realising what she’d just done, Rogue threw herself back, lips parting in an instant. Her heart still beat rapidly in her chest longing for another sweet embrace, to feel the touch of another. 

“I’m sorry…I got excited.” 

Chapter 26: Wake the Witch

Summary:

Wanda returns to her first day back on the job in the kitchen and deals with her usual sense of isolation.

Chapter Text

With burning eyes, Wanda opened the door to the cell. She was as quiet as a mouse, checking the room and breathing a sigh of relief when she realised Jean was not there. She crumpled onto her bed, hiding her face under the thin covers and letting out a sob.
She had just returned from visiting Carol in the ward and was overwhelmed with the feeling of guilt, a feeling she was very familiar with. Carol’s words echoed in her head, making her very confused as it jumbled with all the other voices in there.
Kill her.
It’s your fault.
I want to die.

She pressed her hands to the side of her head as she felt a splitting headache reappearing. She wished she had some way to numb herself, but Jean had strictly forbidden her from ever buying drugs or alcohol. She couldn’t have her girlfriend too drunk or high to torment after all.
Feeling her body heat up from stress she kicked the blankets off and stared at the ceiling. Her eyes stung and she repeatedly hit her head with a closed fist. It didn’t help.

She looked at her nails, bitten down until it hurt, and let out a soft sigh. She had to go back to work tomorrow, but it was very hard to find the energy to even get up right now. It felt like there was a giant block of cement sitting on her chest.

Maybe after work, she should go talk to Jean. Carol was right in saying that the violence needed to stop. Wanda doubted Jean would listen to her, but she knew that maybe she could get Jean to change her mind if she offered her certain sexual favours. That was basically her only power in this place. She was not looking forward to it, it had been a long time since she had enjoyed sex. Thinking over her plans for the next day she fell asleep on top of her blankets quickly.

Mom? Mom! Billy’s voice echoed in her head, evergoing. It woke her up with a start. It was really early, maybe 5 am. Jean was asleep on the bed above her. Wanda could hear her even breathing. She liked Jean the best when she was asleep. She had had a weird dream about Westview again, but instead of everyone she loved being there, it was just Carol and other prisoners telling her to run. If only it was that easy.

Wanda squeezed the bridge of her nose with her fingers and decided getting up was better than lying there wallowing in her self-pity. The heaviness in her chest remained, but at least she would have something to do at work. It had been some time since she had been to work because of her injuries and she was sure Agatha had messed everything up by now.

Her muscles were still sore from being tied up by Jean for hours on end the other day, so it took her some strength to walk towards the kitchen. She loved her kitchen a lot. It made her forget for a while. She had a limited number of things to cook, but tried her best every day. And she had music.

Wanda plunged down the needle on her record player and let the kitchen be filled with soft tune from the 1950s. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sound for a while, the fact that no one else was around her and she had a moment of peace giving her a brief glimpse of happiness.

She glanced around the kitchen and noticed everything had been moved from its usual place. She was not a neat freak in the slightest, how could one be in prison. But she liked having some pretense of control and liked everything being where she could find it. She spent some time returning the kitchen to how it was, including several things being in places it definitely did not belong. It almost felt like Agatha had done that on purpose, and it annoyed her. After she put everything away, she noticed the floor was dirty. She tutted and filled a bucket with soap, tying up her hair with a strip of fabric while she waited for it to fill up.

Wanda found that working in the kitchen was her only semblance of true peace in incarcerated life. Sure she had to prepare the meals and serve over two-hundred inmates per day, but it was the closest thing she had to actually having time alone and a purpose. Even the days where Sylvie was assigned to help her weren’t that bad. That is why it was with disappointment that she simply ran out of things to do eventually on this day, meals to cook, ovens to clean, knives to wash. She’d reorganised Agatha’s tarnishing of the placement of things twice over until things looked positively spotless, or as spotless as they could be at least. It was now about 1 pm and her next task was far less enjoyable, mopping the cellblocks.

She made quick work of Cellblocks A and B, not having to deal with many other people since most were still in the mines at that time. She had one left to go, the dreaded Cellblock C, and, unfortunately for her, work for everyone else had now very much concluded. Why did she dread Cellblock C in particular? It was where Agatha lived. The only place less preferable to clean was Cellblock D, which she’d mercifully been exempt from cleaning by security given the fact that it was where most of Hydra dwelled.

Entering quietly with a bucket of water and a mop, she noted the particularly dirty nature of the floors and sighed. It seemed it would take longer to clean the place than she wanted. Thinking only that she wished to get the task done with as soon as possible, she straightened her hair tie and got to work.

Quickly the mop made circular motions along the grimy grounds, rinsing away at layers of dirt and dust. Wanda reflected on what she’d say to Jean precisely to fix her mistake, knowing it was nearly impossible to ever get her girlfriend to actually listen. She always needed to have two plans, what to say to Jean and what to say to The Phoenix because she never knew who would be in control at any given moment. It really was like she was dating two people, both probably well into the range of abusive, and she had to always guess which she may encounter. It was exhausting. She sometimes forgot just how tiring she found it to be but then it would weigh upon her like an anvil, or the ruins of Wundagore. Wanda was abruptly pulled from her thoughts as a familiar voice called: “Oh, Wandaaa.”

Wanda spun around to see Agatha Harkness stood against the wall, one knee bent back, while her right hand twirled a strand of the dark curly forest growing along her crotch. Her underwear were on the floor, a single band barely clinging around her right ankle, and jumpsuit cast aside. Wanda couldn’t help but blush bright crimson at the sight, and, deciding to not look, turned her back once more and resumed mopping.

Agatha spread her legs and brought her hand lower, pushing a finger between her already dripping pussy lips. Rubbing her clit with dramatically loud moans, she ran the tip of her finger back and forth in excited motions. Wanda couldn’t ignore the wet sloppy sounds, despite how much she wanted to.

Agatha’s fingers rubbed her clit faster and faster to the sight of Wanda's orange-clad arse. Her moans got louder too, now definitely audible to at least half her cellblock. Agatha’s juices ran against her fingers and dripped on to the recently-cleaned ground. Getting closer and closer as her hand stimulated her until Agatha climaxed with an exaggerated moan, intentionally loud just to make sure Wanda was truly uncomfortable. Breathily she leaned against the bars and smiled wickedly. “I think you missed a spot” she said with a laugh, gesturing with her foot to the new wet spot on the ground.

Wanda let out a curse in her mother tongue and slapped the wet mop down on the spot, staring daggers at Agatha as she cleaned. “Why do you keep flour in the fridge?” She asked angrily.

“Oh, is that not where it goes?” Agatha feigned ignorance, not bothering to step aside to make Wanda’s job easier.

“Why would it need to be cold..” Wanda countered. She lightly pushed Agatha’s shoulder, causing her to move. “You’re in the way.”

Agatha only chuckled, satisfied that she’d made Wanda clean up her cum. It was both a creepy and oddly creative way of making her least-favourite witch unhappy.

Stepping aside, Agatha picked up her underwear and got herself dressed, eyeing Wanda flirtatiously. She didn’t say anything else though while she watched Wanda finish mopping up the mess.

“Have a nice day, Agatha.” Wanda said eventually as she finished the job. She twirled around but quickly flicked her fingers unbeknownst to the other witch.

“Oh I’ll have a really nice day. Thank you for helping me get off.” Agatha replied tauntingly, thinking she’d won this round.

Wanda shrugged, not turning around. “Watch your step next time.”

“What did you say?” Agatha had not realised that her jumpsuit and underwear had come completely undone, leaving her to stand naked. When she went to bow down to pull them up, they tightened around her ankles impossibly, tripping her in the process. Because she had not expected it, she fell face down on the floor, bare ass up in the air, her nose making a satisfying crack on the floor and blood spraying out of it. Wanda’s laugh could be heard down the halls as she walked away.

As Wanda departed, work complete for the day, she figured there was now no better time than to test the waters of talking to Jean. The confrontation with Agatha had given her a much needed emotional boost and she felt that the coming conversation just might not be completely terrible. She returned to their cell but found Jean absent. There was one other place she probably would be, but Wanda really hoped she wouldn’t be there. Taking a short trip a few cells over, Wanda’s heart sank as her prediction was correct. Jean was currently laying down on a bed while Emma Frost sat on her chest, hand to Jean’s temple. They played a sort of strange game together, one only two powerful telepaths could do. When things became overbearing, Jean would visit Emma and partake in erotic mental constructs tailored to satisfy her deepest desires. Currently she was engaging in a passionate moment with Captain America.

Sensing someone outside their cell, Emma didn’t need to turn around to know who was present. “Have you come to clean my cell?” She asked haughtily.

“No. I want to talk to Jean.” Wanda said candidly.

Emma rolled her eyes. “Can you not see she is busy at the moment?”

Wanda knew what she was going to say was probably a very bad idea, but she felt particularly brave at the moment. “Wake her up.” she demanded.

Emma smirked and rose from her spot straddling Jean. She took her stance in the center of the room, commanding a presence in the narrow space. “Come here” she said, beckoning Wanda closer with a threatening undertone that made it clear the witch couldn’t object. Approaching the nervous looking Wanda with a self-confident grin on her fair face, she raised the tip of her index finger to Wanda’s chin and made her look up into her piercing ice blue eyes. In the most witheringly demeaning tone she asked: “Is your idiot brain being fucked by stupid?”

Wanda flinched. She stammered as she tried to formulate how to respond to that, if she was meant to at all. Emma Frost was close to Jean, closer than just about anyone else in the Sisterhood save for Mystique. Offending her was often worse than offending Jean herself.

“It’s not rhetorical. Answer me.” Emma pressed in a sickeningly calm voice.

“No. I-It’s not doing…that.” Wanda answered uncomfortably.

“Not doing what?” Emma mocked her accent, wanting her to say it out loud.

“No my idiot brain is not being fucked by stupid.” Wanda said angrily, feeling foolish. Emma always found ways to demean her, but that seemed to be a pretty recurring theme from a lot of people.

Emma paused, savouring the submissiveness she sparked. “Then what the fuck makes you think you can come to my cell and tell me what to do?” She smiled.

“I need to tell her something important.” Wanda tried to respond as calmly as she could.

Emma paused, looking Wanda over with a disinterested glare. No, it was more than just disinterest. It was disgust. There was such power in The Scarlet Witch but she was too weak to use any of it for anything real. “I know why you’re here, dear. I’m a telepath, remember?” Emma fired back antagonistically, although she didn’t actually know why Wanda was there quite yet. It took her longer than Jean to invade the mental walls of people. Once she understood she said: “This is important. What you’ve come to whine about is…how should I put this…entirely superfluous. Now I suggest you fuck off unless you’ve come to clean things for me.”

Wanda could feel her confidence faltering. She looked at Jean, who had her eyes closed and then looked back at Emma. “Can you just tell her when…when she comes back that I came by?”

“If I feel..feel like it” Emma shrugged, mocking her stutter. Defeated, Wanda nodded and left the room.

Feeling lost for what to do since she had finished her work and her only ‘friend’ in the prison was occupied, Wanda made her way over to the rec room. This room was often dominated by her with Jean’s help because she liked to watch her TV shows. Today, the TV was off. There were a few people scattered about, most of which immediately looked up as she entered the room.

Wanda had never been a popular girl, even as a kid. She was used to isolation. But that didn’t mean their stares of disapproval didn’t sting a little bit. She tried to smile at everyone as she went over to the board game cabinet. Maybe she could find a puzzle. Most of them had pieces missing, which was super frustrating, but at least it was something to do, alone.

All that was left in the cabinet was The Game of Life. Wanda sighed and got the game out. Maybe she could convince someone to play with her.

As she turned around, she felt like a high schooler on their first day at school, picking a spot to sit and eat lunch. Most people scowled at her and several of them even left the room. She felt pathetic as all the feasible people available to play disappeared, and she sat down at a table by herself. Getting out the board and the game pieces, she took a red car out, placing one adult female and one adult male pin inside, with two little boys in the backseat. She set it down at the start, but there was no way to play this game by herself, so she just drove the car around the board with her hand.

The scraping of the chair across from her made her jump and look up.
“Hey stranger.” Natasha’s voice sounded so familiar but yet so distant now. Wanda smiled carefully as the redhead sat down across from her. She had turned the chair around so the back of the chair was in the front and she leaned her arms on the back casually. “Playing with yourself?”

Wanda nodded shyly, missing the double entendre. “I guess no one likes The Game of Life.” She knew in reality the game wasn’t the problem, and knew that Nat probably knew that too.

“Well, it isn’t Monopoly, but it will do.” Natasha got the black car from the box and put it down at the Career Start tile.
“You’ll have to remove your family from the car, or it’s cheating.”

Wanda carefully removed the representation of Vision and her boys from the car, and put them back in the box. She then placed her car next to Nat’s and looked at her with big green eyes. Studying the redhead’s features from up close for the first time in a while, she noticed how pretty she looked, still. She flashed back to meeting the Black Widow for the first time as a young girl. Joining the Avengers with her and spending so much time together. They were probably one of the best times of Wanda’s life.

“You can start. You’re the youngest. I’ll be the bank.” Natasha said teasingly as she started sorting the fake paper money. She in turn checked Wanda’s face, noticing the remains of the injury she had suffered and the bags under her eyes from the general lack of sleep or happiness in the witch’s life.

She couldn’t help but still feel a sense of care for the girl, the same way she had when they first met. At the time, she had made it her goal to save Wanda from the life she had and hopefully give her a better one. Guess that didn’t turn out how she had hoped. She had watched from the sidelines as Wanda got roped in by Jean and everything that had happened since then. It was not really her place to care about someone from another gang, but given their history, it was hard not to. Not that she could do anything about it, but she had still kept an eye on Wanda where she could.

Wanda spun the wheel timidly, not actually believing her luck that someone wanted to play with her. She took the designated number of steps and did what the card said.

Not talking much, they just played the game. Wanda noticed that Natasha chose to get married and placed a small female peg next to her, while Wanda herself had placed a male one.

Both of them had a baby and continued playing. The silence was not awkward, but rather comforting.

Her curiosity peaked at the choice of partner in the game, Wanda eventually asked. “So, are you seeing anyone?” It was an absurd question to ask in the situation they were in, but the witch’s social awkwardness had gotten the better of her and she wanted to know what Natasha was up to.

Nat let out a dry chuckle at the innocence of the question. “As in officially?” She had no idea how to explain to Wanda that she was basically the leader of one of the prison’s biggest harems, without feeling like it was something inappropriate to say.

“I guess.” Wanda shrugged.

“No. Not really.” Natasha flashed back to being eaten out not an hour ago and shuddered uncomfortably. “I don’t think this is the right place for me, dating wise.”

Biting her lip, Wanda nodded. “Yeah, makes sense.” She had always assumed Natasha preferred the company of men, but the choice of partner had confused her.

Natasha’s eyes fluttered over the fading black eye and returned. “You and Jean still going strong?”

“I wouldn’t say that.” The words left Wanda’s mouth before she could help it. She quickly corrected herself. “She takes care of me. That’s all I ask.”

Not wanting to meddle, Natasha nodded. “I’d hope so.”

Not much later, the game had finished. Both women counted their fortunes and it turned out Wanda had won the game by a large margin.

“Congrats, Wands.” Nat winked, helping her put the game away. “We should play again sometime. ‘It was fun.”

Unconsciously, Wanda blushed and nodded. As she put the game back into the cabinet, Nat waved to her and disappeared quickly. Wanda remained seated at the table, reeling from this weird, kind of happy moment she just had.

“You had something important you wanted to tell me?” The Phoenix’s voice clawed in Wanda’s head, giving her a terrible headache.

Wanda froze and felt an icy feeling of dread clench her stomach. She turned around to face Jean, who was sitting on top of another table. She had no idea how long she had been there, having completely lost herself in the game and Natasha’s company. She felt caught.

The Phoenix dragged its burning talons through Wanda’s memory, ripping at strands of thought and emotion. Its beak caught the strand of that moment and it felt everything Wanda had felt during the game with Nat. Every skipped heartbeat, every nervous twitch, every ounce of happiness was now shared by them both. Its presence seemed to grow insurmountable the angrier it grew. Jean’s body seemed to shake from The Phoenix’s unmatched wrath. Wanda knew that her goddess would have no mercy in its punishment for her…

Happy Halloween <3

Chapter Text

——————————————————————————————————————————

Gather sisters fire, water, earth and air. Darkest hour wake thy power, earthly and divine. Burn and brew with coven true and glory shall be thine.

——————————————————————————————————————————

 

The throne of jagged, carven stone loomed high above the pit, and lo, upon it sat the empress of sorrow, the sovereign of damnation, the Goblin Queen herself. Eyes afire with a pale white, she ruled with an ever-cruel smirk upon her fair face. This was Madelyn Pryor, and the hellish dimension around her was Limbo.

The echoes of chains and distant screams carried across the four infernal winds that blew eternal, whipping at the poor unfortunate souls who’d been damned to this place. It was Hell in everything but name, a world of only limitless pain and pleasure. Such sights as those seen could not be done justice in mere words.

Brought forth by demons with a heavy collar around her neck came stumbling a woman whose name was once Victoria Murdock, but that seemed a distant memory. Time here didn’t work like it had back on Earth. Here a century could be minutes, and minutes could feel like eons. She’d once been a low-life criminal who’d made a pact with a demon for the promise of a successful career unmatched…for ten years but there was no clause for preventing accidentally poisoning oneself. A serial asbestos poisoner, she ironically died of idiopathic mesothelioma. She learned the hard way what happened after those ten years expired when the first red-hot brand was stamped against her rear by an imp.

“Please have mercy!” Victoria screamed to the queen sitting high above. A new punishment awaited her, set forth by Madelyn herself. “I-I’m straight! You can’t do this to me! Please! Anything else!”

Madelyn only laughed, a wicked cackle that boomed all across her kingdom. Pleading had never swayed her before.

“I-I can’t do it!” Victoria continued sputtering for mercy, but mercy she wouldn’t receive. Madelyn flicked her wrist and from her index finger shot forth a flame. “Maybe you should have thought of that before selling your soul” she shrugged. “Consider this before I send you to your new fate, you are my slave and, now that you'll be servicing an inmate, someone’s bitch. Do enjoy yourself now…”

A screaming Victoria was grabbed by winged demons and dragged away where she’d spend the foreseeable future pleasuring a convict.

—————————————————————

“So like who are we meeting again?” Kitty Pryde asked as she followed behind Rogue through the crowded cellblock. A storm was brewing that night which, according to the rumours, Warden Val feared would be powerful enough to cause a power outage, plunging the prison into a possible mass riot. Obviously not wanting a prison full of angry super-powered criminals to deal with, she had resolved to simply place the entire penitentiary under lockdown until the storm had passed and the systems could reliably be kept online. That meant that for the next however many hours, the prisoners would be sealed in whatever cell they were in before the lockdown came into effect. Rogue and Kitty were currently on their way, various comforts in hand, to meet with people who, for all Kitty knew, could very well be incarcerated for murder, or worse.

“A couple of people I know, why?” Rogue replied in her usual solemn Southern tone, although there was a slight hint of resentment in her voice. The past week since Kitty arrived had been…difficult to say the least. She’d finally reconnected with someone she could touch only to fuck everything up, worst of all she fucked it up by doing something vulnerable like randomly kissing her. They’d agreed not to talk about the kiss and Rogue wasn’t even sure if Kitty had thought much of it since, a thought she found agonising in the unpleasant way. Things were definitely awkward as it stood right now.

Already the beginning barrage of rain pattered along the metallic walls of The Raft as Kitty further asked: “So, like your friends?”

“No” Rogue sternly replied with clear disgust at the notion. “I joined a coven”
Kitty giggled and nodded, expecting an answer like that. “I mean to be like totally fair, that’s like so your version of having friends, y’know?”

Rogue shot her a threatening glare that half looked like she wanted to murder her, her form of endearment. “I jus’ thought they seemed intriguing’. You know I find most friendships to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation”

“Ok…” Kitty said, not buying that at all. She knew pretty well that thanks to Rogue’s isolating abilities she had very strange standards for what classified personal connection. “So how long have you been a part of a coven?”

“Two months, three weeks, and four days.” Rogue answered precisely as the rainfall grew louder. She suddenly stopped as Illyana Resputina passed by them taking a lighter from Rogue’s pile of amenities before either of them could react.
“Thanks! Never know when I could need this” Illyana grinned as she playfully flipped the lighter in her hand and held it up to show what she had taken. Her hands were free, save for a small purple dragon puppet, because she currently had Danielle Moonstar carrying all of her stuff.

“Could you just like please give her that back.” Kitty pleaded, really not wanting to spend lockdown by herself (or worse, with Illyana) while Rogue was in solitary confinement for attacking Illyana.

“Why?” Illyana brattily asked while challenging Rogue with her eyes. “Can’t share? Maybe I will give it back to you in the morning.”

Rogue set down her things and then silently approached Illyana, removing an orange glove. The threat was clear. Just one touch and her obnoxious blonde cellmate would spend the night in the infirmary. “Hand it over or I’ll shove that stupid purple dragon puppet of yours where the sun don’t shine.”

Illyana stepped back slightly in apprehension before laughing in her face. “Touch him and Jean punishes you.” Not quite the response Rogue had hoped for.

Rogue scowled, knowing that there was little counter to that. “Jus’ give it back.” she said irritably, a bit deflated that her threat was so easily seen-through.

“Ok. Two packs of cigarettes now or no deal.” Illyana bargained.

“Two packs for a lighter? That sure seems fair.” Rogue said sardonically. “I don’t even have two packs right now.”

Illyana smirked. “I guess you don’t want it that bad then…”

“Here just take it.” Kitty groaned as she unexpectedly produced from the pillow in her arms two packs of cigarettes. “Now can you like leave us alone?”

Illyana tossed the lighter onto the blanket in Rogue’s arms and then took the price. “See you two tomorrow” she said cheerfully as she departed with Moonstar.

“I kinda feel like we um just got robbed.” Kitty stated as Rogue and herself both watched their bully leave.

Rogue imagined torturing Illyana in the most slow and painful methods imaginable. “That’s because we were”

—————————————————————

Kate Bishop wasn’t really sure how Yelena had managed to convince her to join in spending lockdown in Felicia Hardy’s cell. She was unaware they even knew of each other so when Yelena got an early notice of the oncoming storm and suggested they spend it with a sadistic cat burglar instead of her sister, she was surprised to say the least. In fact, Yelena had made it very clear she preferred this plan over spending a “boring” night with Nat and allied gang leaders discussing important matters of prison politics. Kate loved sleepovers usually, but she wasn’t so sure about this one.

Grabbing a short list of requested items (cigarettes, drinks, blankets, pillows, etc) the girls made their way over to Cellblock C for their little sleepover. To literally no one’s surprise, upon arriving at Felicia’s cell they found her half undressed cuddling with Liz Allan while MJ1 (Mary Jane Watson) massaged her. Gwen Stacy was currently getting high while sitting on the toilet and MJ2 (Michelle Jones) was resting against the wall. What was a surprise was Jessica Jones sitting on the top bunk, not present by her own volition but by request of Vanessa Fisk to assure Felicia wasn’t getting too close to the Widows. Kate wasn’t sure what she was doing there, but from the looks of it she was already a drink too many deep into being drunk. The archer felt a little worried about her state.

The cell door locked behind Kate and Yelena and, almost right on cue, the first booming echo of thunder crashed, harkening the arrival of the night’s storm. “Hi.” Kate said awkward to the unknown women. Yelena put their stuff down and they both got situated.

Kate looked at Felicia and awkwardly smiled. Looking to make a great first impression, she fixated on something to compliment. What stood out most was the expert thief’s brilliantly platinum blonde hair, so light that it was almost pure white. “I love your hair!” Kate exclaimed, getting an appreciative smirk from Felicia. A smirk which fell when Kate asked: “how’d you get hair dye?”

“It’s natural.” Yelena coughed under her breath.

Kate’s eyes went wide. “What?” she softly asked, words laced with apprehension.
“That is her natural hair colour.” Yelena very slightly elaborated.

Kate bit her lip and gave a completely mortified look to the displeased Felicia. “Oh…so…cool” the archer said with an anxious laugh. “I’m not about to die of embarrassment. I just- It…wow..uh shut up, Kate”

Despite the awkward introduction, the sleepover was going about as well as one could in prison, with Kate being dragged into a high stakes poker game with Felicia and Yelena (high stakes in this case being over packs of cigarettes). Jessica had even played a round and won before returning to her self-designated isolation. The night was going well and a buzz was steadily starting to build by the time one of the hosts suggested playing Truth or Dare. Yelena had scoffed at this, finding it rather childish, but Kate had gotten very excited.

“Okay, Yelena. Truth or Dare?” Kate asked, snuggling deeper into her makeshift bed gleefully.

“I do not want to play this stupid game.” Yelena rolled her eyes.

“Aw…puh-lease?” Kate begged ever bit as childishly as it reads.

“Fine. Truth.” The blonde assassin sighed and took a big swig of her drink.

“Reveal the details of your first kiss.” Kate said, her eyes shining with excitement.

Yelena led out a loud, sarcastic laugh. “Ha.”

“You have to answer!” Michelle joined in. The other women had also joined the conversation, except for Jessica, who was turned with her back towards them on her bunk.

Clicking her tongue, Yelena started. “Well, I never had much interest in romance. I also did not have much time, as I was trained as an assassin and a spy since I was a young, young child.” She grimaced at the memory. “Once upon a time I was out on a mission in West Europe. I believe it was Paris.”

“Ooo, romantic!” Kate whispered.

“Well, there was this guy. He thought I looked cool, I guess. We hung out a lot, I was young and it was something different. He had a really intense French accent and would buy me breakfast.”

“What was his name?” Felicia asked.

“Philip.” Yelena answered with dead eyes.

“And you kissed him?” Kate said, swooning at the romance of it all.

“Oh, no. He was my target.” Yelena smirked. “I kissed his sister.”

“Huh!?” Both Kate and Michelle exclaimed.

“At his funeral.” Yelena smiled shyly as the group was both stunned and impressed at her plot twist. They all laughed and continued the game.

Things started to settle and everyone had taken their spots. Wrapped up tight in their blankets as the heating system fluctuated on whether or not it wanted to work, the prisoners passed around a bottle of smuggled in vodka and conversed over all manner of things. Stories from in prison and out.

—————————————————————

Rogue and Kitty arrived at their destination, hosted by the gothic Japanese-American Nico Minoru and perfect plastic blonde popular girl Karolina Dean. Friends since childhood, they both came from very well-off families which harboured a dark secret in connection to a cult (or in Karolina’s case, being the daughter of the cult leader). Alongside a few others, Nico and Karolina ran away from home in their teenage years and formed The Runaways. As The Runaways they slipped further and further outside the law until eventually they popped up on SWORD’s radar and they were hunted down and arrested.

When Rogue and Kitty arrived they found Nico and Karolina making out on the bottom bunk, Karolina’s hand slipping down the front of Nico’s jumpsuit.

“Am I interrupting something?” Rogue asked them sarcastically, startling them.

Both quickly got up, tried to straighten their jumpsuits, and then greeted their guests. “Sorry about that. We just got lost in the moment. You know how it is.” Karolina apologised as she pulled the cell door open and bid Rogue and Kitty enter. Nico coughed at ‘you know how it is.’ Karolina had a sudden startled look in her bright blue eyes and said: “Oh…sorry”

“It’s fine, but make that mistake again and it will be the last one you make.” Rogue playfully threatened, making Nico let out a maniacal sounding cackle.

Karolina chuckled. “Last mistake ever? Sounds pretty sweet to me.”

“Who’s she?” Karolina asked, pointing at Kitty while twirling a strand of her golden hair.

“Uh hi. I’m Kitty.” she introduced herself shyly.

“Yes. She’s with me.” Rogue nodded.

“Wow you’re actually dating someone?” Karolina asked in astonishment.

“What? Oh no we’re NOT dating!” Kitty exclaimed, not seeing how Rogue’s flat expression briefly turned to one of the deepest hurt. She was still strongly under the impression that there really was nothing more to the kiss when they reunited. Sure it was a kiss that involved one of them being naked, but that was just a coincidence.

“Cool! It’s great to meet you!” Karolina beamed, moving on the topic without pause. “I knew a Kitty well, actually her name was Kat which if you think about it is super fitting because she actually was a cat, like the animal. Well I guess humans are animals, but It’s kind of a really lazy name for a cat to be named Kat, don’t you think?”

“Yeah totally” Kitty nodded, not sure she even understood a word of what the blonde woman just said for she talked very fast. She wondered just how high she must be.
Nico nodded. “What she means to say is that her name is Karolina, I’m Nico. Welcome to our cell.”

“Thank you for having us.” Kitty said earnestly, as if they had been invited over for a pot-luck in the neighborhood. “Right, Rogue?”

Rogue set down her things and said a dismissive “thank you.” Her mind still wasn’t off Kitty’s reaction to the thought that they could be dating. Her palms were sweating slightly inside her gloves.

“So what are you in for, Kitty?” Nico asked as Karolina helped the guests put down their bedding.

“It’s really complicated but um I was like totally innocent but got arrested for like formerly being an X-Men member.” Kitty relayed the shortest possible version of her story, not wanting to kill the mood or be reminded of why she was in prison in the first place.

“Punk rock! Ok, rebel.” Nico smirked. Kitty felt reassured by how enthusiastic about her crime Nico seemed.

—————————————————————

“…and then I shot a trick arrow that…” Kate’s story suddenly was interrupted by the sound of something loudly shutting off. The Raft was now bathed in the dull red light of the backup generator, leaving only the shadowy outlines of the women around Kate visible. Sighs and curses of annoyance echoed all down the cell block as the locked in women were now left without any ability to pass the time playing games or reading.

“Spooky…Have any ghost stories?” Yelena asked sarcastically while Kate rested her head on her shoulder comfortably.

Felicia paused for a moment. “…Well there’s always cell #237 in Cellblock D. This was a little before my time here, but apparently belonged to some unfortunate mutant bitch who must have done something to really piss the guards off because they housed her in the middle of Hydra territory. Obviously not the best place for a mutie…”

“It’s mutant actually” Michelle corrected from her corner.

Felicia stared daggers at her, obviously not enthused by someone interrupting her story. Taking a deep breath to calm down from the interupption, she asked “What was that?”

“Nothing” Michelle mumbled, not wanting to be punished for talking back again.

Felicia smirked. “That’s what I thought. Thanks for the disruption, babe” she said passive aggressively. “Returning to the story, one night some of her neighbours had had enough of a mutant daring to be in their cellblock…so they snuck into her cell, pinned her against the wall, and…” Felicia brought a finger to her throat and made a grim cutting motion while gagging “slick slit her throat right open. Guards found her body the next morning lying in a pool of her own blood. Heard it took a solid week to get rid of it all. A month to get the smell to go away”

“That’s disgusting” Mary Jane briefly interrupted, horrified enough by the story that she had stopped taking a drag out of the joint she and Gwen were sharing.

“A few of the girls who’ve stayed there since have said they experience some weird shit…the smell of blood, feeling of being watched, strange shadows, and whispers. Just your usual ghost stuff. Well except for…” Felicia paused for dramatic effect

“E-Except for?” Kate stuttered, completely engulfed in the tale.
Felicia smirked “This part was when I first got here so maybe I’m missing a few details, but I heard that a member of Hydra was given that cell. Some say she was one of the mutant’s killers but who fucking knows. Two days in, get this, she was found with her throat slit. Guards never found out who killed her or even found the shiv used. Cameras facing that cell also just went offline in the thirty minutes she died so that wasn’t any help”

Kate was staring with eyes wide in shock at Felicia’s story, clearly a little shaken up by it. She wasn’t sure whether she should be more scared of the paranormal part or the idea of someone bursting into her cell and killing her. Felicia’s harem were all pretty disturbed too, minus Michelle who respected the grim poetic nature of the whole thing.

Yelena wasn’t quite as convinced. Lighting her second hard won cigarette of the night and taking a long slow drag she spoke: “I have been here longer. No one was killed in that cell, Felicia. I would definitely remember a mystery shivving.”

Felicia rolled her eyes “Oh well aren’t you a bundle of fun.” she purred.

“Well yeah I-I knew that was fake. Ghosts are definitely not real.” Kate tried to play her fear off. In all fairness, The Raft housed aliens, gods, werewolves, witches, and vampires. Ghosts wouldn’t be too weird at this point.

“Good for you” Felicia replied just a little condescendingly, clearly not buying it.

—————————————————————

Rogue and Karolina finished setting down two temporary beds for the night, careful not to touch during the process. Having completed the task, Rogue turned and asked: “So what exactly are we doin’ tonight anyways?” They’d tampered with a few incantations Nico was familiar with, but nothing particularly impressive beyond changing their eye colour.

“Well I may or may not have stolen this off Agatha Harkness when I was mopping Cellblock C.” Nico reached under her pillow and then excitedly held up a gnarled old tome, tapping her narrow bony fingers and dark black nails on its leathery cover. The worn-down bindings and decayed spine made the thing look ancient and like it could fall apart any minute.

Rogue looked at the book with visible intrigue. “How did she manage to get that in here?” she asked, far more concerned with how the Last Witch of Salem had managed to get the spellbook smuggled in than what the possible repercussions of stealing from such a high-level witch may be.

“Who cares. All that matters is that we have it now.” Karolina said in a distant tone while staring intently at the growing storm out the window.

Nico nodded in agreement. “Perhaps tonight he'll listen to us at last.”

“Who?” Kitty asked curiously, feeling very out of her element around Rogue’s mystic-minded friends but completely going along with it. At the very least it was a vibe.

“Chthon.” Nico answered as if that would mean anything to her.

“Bless you” Kitty looked more than a little perplexed. “Like what’s that? Is that like God or something?”

“No. Man invented God. He is far older than that...” Rogue said dramatically, the flickering of the prison’s failing power and a flash of lightning truly setting the mood.

“So like you guys worship the devil?” Kitty asked. She was not into religion at all.

Karolina had a mad look in her eye as she finally was the one to explain in her own excited way: “No. It's like God and the Devil. I mean, it's everything. It's the trees, it's the ground, it's the rocks, it's the moon... it's everything. If God and the Devil were playing football, Chthon would be the stadium that they played on. It would be the sun that shone down on them.”

“Cool. Cool” Kitty nodded as if that made the slightest semblance of sense. She was really wondering what exactly Karolina was on.

—————————————————————
The young witches were not the only coven to convene in this solemn tempest, for in the darkened cell of Agatha Harkness a group of The Raft’s most powerful sorceresses (bar Wanda Maximoff for obvious reasons) were plotting. The wrathful storm which burned and brewed beyond the prison was not the only force which weakened security, as tonight was a very special night in which the mystical boundaries set around the facility by Doctor Strange were weakened by the full moon. Key word: weakened – but not absent. If one understood their spellcraft well, and Agatha was doubtlessly an expert, they could find small cracks in the foundation that, if exploited right, could be enough to escape. There was only one issue for the witch, to do so would require an immense amount of mystical power (the strength of a coven). Lacking a better alternative, Agatha had assembled her uneasy coven from only the finest of witches.

First to arrive (because they shared a cell) was Morgan le Fay, an ambitious witch who truly put the word ‘legend’ in ‘legendary.’ One hardly needs an introduction to someone so fabled, but we might as well. Hailing from the 7th century, she was a witch with power unmatched whose bid against her half-brother Arthur Pendragon for the throne of Camelot was as bloody as it was unceasing. Aided by ancient Celtic magic and the wicked influence of the Darkhold, she rained hell upon mediaeval Britain until, on the eve of the Battle of Camlann (in which – backed by an army – she surely would have won), the wizard Merlin found a way to remove her from the board for a time. She was thrust into a realm beyond time and space. A place that wouldn’t hold her forever, but could assure that she emerged in a time long past the reign of Arthur. By the time she escaped she was fifteen-hundred years late to the battle.

The raven-haired would-be-queen now endured the modern age as not a royal but a convict (It seems attempting to level a portion of London has consequences). Her time behind bars had certainly proved…intriguing. Long gone were the days of the solitude of her private chamber, countless nights spent plotting fratricide and communing with the fae. In its stead she now shared a cramped cell with Agatha Harkness, whose long nightly sessions of loudly fingering herself to thoughts of dominating the Scarlet Witch left a work-weary Morgan little silence to fall asleep. The scandalous emerald dresses that tempted the so-call righteous Morgan so adored were replaced with a far more ghastly orange jumpsuit (although she still did wear them in a way that exposed her flesh).

Next came Satana Hellstrom. She was just a normal girl from Massacheusets with a loving family and an annoying older brother…oh and she was the daughter of Satan (or a demon who called himself that anyways). You may remember her from the last Halloween chapter in which she attempted to kill Elsa Bloodstone. In the time since she hadn’t changed her ways but she did want an out.

Agatha had invited two other witches who had spent most of their time hiding away from their powers and pretending to be anything but ordinary, Jeniffer Kale and Lilia Calderu. They had both been caught for non-magic crimes but the fact they possessed magical abilities was an instant ticket to The Raft. So be the way of a witch. Agatha had little faith in them, but they seemed innocent enough to potentially be sacrificed. Plus, Jen was known for being really good at making potions and Lilia was batshit crazy, something Agatha could always appreciate in a woman.

Absent from the group was a sixth, a component they needed to complete their group. Generally a coven of four was enough, but the spell planned required a lot more power. An invitation had been sent to several witches, and, of those who didn’t outright refuse, none seemed to show themselves. A delusional part of Agatha hoped Wanda would show up, but even she knew that that was too good to be true. She was holding out hope that a last minute arrival would come, but the other two were quickly growing impatient.

The first dispute, presenting itself after only four minutes of the group being together, was a nice and easy one: ethics…well as ethical as anyone who would work with Agatha could be. It started when Jennifer asked what exactly everyone was planning on doing after getting out just to make conversation.

Immediate to respond, Agatha questioned: “Why does that matter? Look you want out, I want out, we all want out. We’ll part ways as soon as this is done and we can forget we ever knew each other! I definitely plan on forgetting I knew any of you the minute I set foot on dry land”
Jennifer rolled her eyes. “I feel like some of us have very different plans. We should at least know if someone is planning on world-destruction when they get out.” She wasn’t looking forward to having to assume a new identity, but the prospect wasn’t bad enough to make the end of the world preferable.

Morgan scoffed. “I merely want to take what is rightfully mine. When I am free I shall take my crown at last and then find my dear brother’s corpse to adorn my throne room. Rest assured, I care not for matters of the rest of the world”

“Oh you know, the usual stuff any girl would want after getting out of prison. Beachside vacation, drinking, parties, some mild human sacrifice.” Satana smirked.

“That sounds like a plan!” Agatha said with fake enthusiasm. She just had to endure this alliance for the night.

Lilia said nothing but clearly was questioning the company she now kept in a bid for freedom.
With that cleared, the wait for the last arrival was beginning to weigh heavier on the room.

“Why did you not just summon the Scarlet Witch? Such delicious power is wasted as Jean’s slave.” Satana questioned with tedium in her tone.

Agatha took offense to the very idea. “Yes, invite the one person whose fault it is that I’m even in this situation. Great idea!” She chose not to relay that she had been so desperate to work with Wanda again that she was the first one she had invited.

“She would be powerful enough to assure our escape but whatever.” Satana rolled her eyes.

“Also aren’t you the one to blame for you being here?” Jennifer chimed in.

Agatha gave Jennifer a death stare. “I would have invited anyone but you. Unfortunately you’re the best potion maker this cesspit can offer.”

“What of the Goddess of Death?” Morgan asked, knowing the Wanda topic would prove fruitless. Plus she had an affinity for Hela that only a bloodthirsty woman who plotted fratricide could understand.

“She’s a no show. Apparently shoving her fist up the butts of scared new girls is more interesting than escaping.” Agatha replied bitterly.

Satana bit her lip at the very idea. Succubi were hardly good at focusing when anything tied to sexual activity came up. “That does sound quite tempting…”

“Focus!” Agatha snapped. “If we have to we’ll do this with just the five of us, but we really need a sixth.”

“She’s Death!” Lilia exclaimed for seemingly no reason, receiving perplexed looks from everyone. She had a habit of saying things that didn’t make sense and then not knowing she’d said it.

The storm was growing outside…the sixth needed to arrive soon. And arrive they did, although not in a way anyone expected. For in the darkest corner of the cell an arm began to emerge, shifting and pulling at the wall like it was paper-thin material. Whatever was coming was trying to claw out…

“By the gods!” Morgan exclaimed.

“What the fuck” Jen added.

The emerging being had now breached reality, bony fingers now pushed into the physical realm. Then came a head, long dark hair concealing what Morgan assumed surely must be a ghastly face. The newcomer’s bones bent and snapped, joints cracking into place in rapid succession. The more it straightened, the more grotesque she appeared. Her limbs spun in directions impossibly painful to watch and yet she made no indication that any of it was unusual or painful. Up her crooked spine the transformation contorted and creaked, and then through her bent-backwards feet. There was no real pattern to what would be fixed next. It ceased when her neck twisted into place and she looked up, no longer mangled, in fact, looking quite ordinary. Smiling madly, she casually spoke: “Hey, guys, what’s up? I’m Rio.”

“No! You’re not joining us!” Agatha immediately protested, looking just about ready to re-mangle the newcomer.

“Come on, it wasn’t easy breaking into a supermax prison…well actually it kinda was. But you need a green witch, I was in the neighbourhood…oh and for you, m’lady…” she produced a black bouquet from thin-air and handed it to Agatha…who promptly threw it aside.

“You’re a green witch?” Lilia questioned, doubtful that the woman before her was someone in-tune with nature.

 

Rio shrugged, “Well less a green witch and more like…The Green Witch…” her smooth voice contorted into something deep and wicked before returning to its natural pitch “…but whatever. Love the matching outfits. Should I join in?”

“Thou needeth not to” Morgan replied.

Rio nodded in agreement before saying: “Yeah I’m just gonna change clothes.”
Sauntering over, Rio gracefully lifted a spare jumpsuit from the bottom bunk that surely hadn’t been there just moments prior and she began undressing in a striptease. Back turned to the coven, she undid her black cloak first and then the rest of her clothing. It was not really that surprising that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.

Morgan had the manners to gaze elsewhere, whilst Satana viewed lustfully. Jennifer merely rolled her eyes and Lilia crossed her arms in annoyance. Agatha watched as Rio turned and gave a flirtatious look, confidently showing off the front of her body. Immediately Agatha’s gaze fell down below Rio’s waist before, committed to being upset, she darted her eyes away. “What are you doing here?”

“You said you needed a sixth.” Rio smirked, enjoying being intentionally vague. “I came.” She wriggled her eyebrows at Agatha with the double entendre.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Agatha and Rio obviously had history, but what was going on exactly demanded at least some answers.

“So, how do you know each other?” Satana questioned, leaning on one arm and giving Rio a grin.

“It’s a long story.” Agatha and Rio said at the same time, although in starkly different tones.
Rio slipped into her orange jumpsuit, not wearing anything underneath it once more. Satana gave a disappointed sigh at the conclusion of a show, but was amused by the sight of Rio cuddling up close to Agatha. An amusement Agatha evidently didn’t share as she froze and nudged Rio off.

“...Soooo I assume you have a spellbook. Shall we pull it out and get started?” Rio asked with a mischievous grin that dripped with a sense of I-know-something-you-don’t-know.

“Of course I have the book It’s right here…” Agatha reached her hand under her bed and then stopped. It was gone. “Where is it?!” she seethed.

—————————————————————

“Looked through the book yet?” Rogue asked as she got on her makeshift bed and cozied herself under her thin prison-issued blanket as if it was comfortable.

“Just the first few pages. Everything so far appears to be in Latin.” Nico said, flipping through the tome and revealing a section of the book to her guests. On the right page was written a long wall of Latin text with various unfamiliar runes carved in dark red besides them. The left page was an illustration of a naked woman with long demonic horns backed by sinister flames towering over a circle of four spiked points.

“Woah her titties are out.” Karolina chuckled, pointing at the page and looking back and forth at the others as if to make sure they were seeing it.

Nico paused. “You said that the first time, dear.”

“Did I? I forget” Karolina grinned just as the power went out again, plunging everything into pitch-blackness for a moment before being illuminated again. When the power was back on she was inexplicably sitting next to a circle of four unlit black candles. “Did you remember to get the lighter?” she asked Rogue.

“Of course.” Rogue responded, handing over the small thing Kitty had lost an absurd amount over. “Nearly was robbed off us by Illyana.”

“How did you get it back?” Nico questioned. It seemed every time the coven met Illyana had stolen something off Rogue, but this was the first time she’d actually gotten anything back from her.

“I had to like give up two packs of cigarettes for it. I mean I don’t smoke but y’know still.” Kitty explained, clearly still bitter about the entire ordeal. “It’s just like so totally ironic that she thinks she can just take whatever she wants. Y'know, on my first night I accidentally touched her dragon puppet and she like threatened to shove my face down the toilet.”

“That’s…creative” Nico said with visible disgust.

“Well at least she didn’t actually do it. That would have been unpleasant.” Karolina giggled in a spaced-out tone.

 

Kitty cringed, anxiously playing with her jumpsuit. Clearly something was on her mind. “Yeah…about that…she still did it anyways.” she replied awkwardly. She ranked the experience pretty high up there on the long list of traumatic things from just her first week of incarceration. She decided it was easily in the top twenty things from prison that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Nico’s eyes went wide: “Really?”

“Really.” Kitty answered regretfully. They all turned back to the book,.

—————————————————————

Having set up Illyana’s things, Danielle Moonstar cuddled up next to her lycanthropic Scottish girlfriend, Rahne Sinclair. “Great, so while everyone else is getting to spend lockdown in their cell of choice we get to be with…her.” Dani whispered. They had a cell assigned to just themselves but rarely was it truly just the two of them because Illyana popped in any time that she could, and always at the most inopportune moments.

“Yeah but how is that different from most of the time?” Rahne whispered back.

Dani paused. “Well she doesn’t sleep in the same cell as us…usually.” They both looked at Illyana who was currently on the bottom bunk (Rahne’s bed) reading a book.

Dani turned back to Rahne with clear apprehension. “So about what happened in the showers…”

“You mean when we almost…” Rahne blushed.

Dani fidgeted uncomfortably. “Almost were together for the first time. Yeah I mean that.”

They’d been together for awhile but hadn’t ever taken the next step in their relationship. Not due to a lack of trying mind you. Their intimacy issue was solely because Illyana wouldn’t let them. It had been hard on the both of them, a fact that only made Illyana more set on never letting them.

Rahne thought for a moment. “Maybe we could try again next time Illyana is in the hole?”

 

“Because that’s happened never.” Dani sighed.

“What if we try again when she falls asleep?” Rahne desperately suggested. “I can be quiet I think.”

Dani looked at her, knowing that she absolutely couldn’t do that. “Yeah if I gag you maybe. Actually…”

But before they could further explore that idea, their conversation was interrupted. “I’m bored.” Illyana whined, tossing the book aside and rolling around to see her two pets.

“I’m sorry?” Dani said, not really sure what to say but not liking where this was probably going.

“Clothes off. Now.” Illyana snapped her fingers.

Rahne nervously suggested: “Maybe we could play a game instead?”

“Oh yeah that sounds fun.” Illyana nodded. “I have a game. It’s called do what I fucking tell you to or I shove that book up your ass. Can you guess the rules?”

“I-I think I can guess.” Dani stammered.

“Really? Surprised you could figure it out. Stand up. Turn around, losers.” Illyana moved her finger in a spinning motion. They both wearily did as told, rising to a stand and miserably turning to face the wall. Illyana sat up, invested. “Good girls. I will repeat this only one time, clothes off.”

Dani and Rahne fumbled with the zippers of their jumpsuits and both hesitantly lowered them as far as they would go, giving each other a look of support before they endured whatever game Illyana had planned for them. Simultaneously their uniforms dropped to the ground, leaving them in nothing but their prison-issued underwear.

Dani couldn’t stop herself from turning around to see what Illyana was doing while they undressed. She looked back to see her bully brandishing a stick of deodorant, seeing if it would be a viable tool of pegging torment. The poor girl’s butt clenched at the thought of the object being shoved up her rear by her never-gentle prison mommy.

Illyana caught Dani’s fearful gaze and smirked. “Oh you think I will use this now? Don’t worry I’m just preparing it for later…maybe.” Dani found that answer to somehow be even worse than if she'd just said she would use it now.

“Do werewolves howl at the moon?” Illyana abruptly asked.

Rahne turned around to look now. “What?”

“I asked if werewolves howl at the moon” Illyana repeated.

“Uh no, why do you ask?” Rahne asked, knowing she wouldn’t enjoy the answer.

Illyana rolled her eyes like somehow Rahne was dumb for not understanding her weird nonsensical sense of humour. “Get on your knees and start licking Dani’s ass.”

Rahne paused. “Oh…moon, I-I get it.”

“Then do it.” Illyana sighed. “Oh wait no new idea, bend over first…”

Rahne whined but did as told, not liking what could possibly be coming. Right on cue Illyana stepped behind her and shoved the stick of deodorant up her bum with a laugh, forcing a pathetic pained squeal out of the werewolf. She sounded like a wounded dog as Illyana shoved the object deeper.

Dani cringed at the sight of Rahne being terrorised by the blonde mutant. Although every bit of her wanted to be quiet and avoid attention, she pleaded: “Do it to me instead…please”

Illyana stopped for a moment and looked at Dani. “How sweet. Hear that Lockheed? What’s that?” Illyana raised her dragon puppet up to her ear as if to hear what he had to say. “He says shut up and let me play with your girlfriend!”

Dani made no further attempt to bargain. She knew it only would have ended with them both being pegged…if that wasn’t in the cards already. Besides, how do you argue with a grown woman talking to a puppet? Illyana, satisfied with Dani’s silence, returned to her task.

The bully relished each and every little gasp Rahne made, trying to take deep breaths through her complete discomfort. It would have hurt a lot more once, but just today alone the wolf had one object or another shoved up her round bum by Illyana thrice.

At last the deodorant was as far as it could go without doing any real damage and Illyana watched the pained movements Rahne took as she tried to assume the kneeling position. She loved how Rahne’s round rear twitched. “What’s wrong, puppy? Does that hurt?”

Rahne gave a groan in response which upset her cruel bully. “Answer. The. Question.” Illyana demanded

“Yes! Yes it hurts!” Rahne snapped.

Illyana grinned again. “Good. Now quit being such a whiny loser and kiss your girlfriend.”
Rahne finished lowering herself down to her knees and then pressed her lips against Dani’s rear, eliciting a moan. Closing her eyes and trying to not think about what she was doing, Rahne pushed her tongue out of her mouth and began to lick. Before long she was fully into it, enthusiastically lapping away.

Dani could barely stand. She wasn’t really into anything back there, but it was the closest they’d come to actual sex with each other and that made her incredibly excited. It was just as she really began to feel the first orgasm in a month building up that Illyana told Rahne to stop. She couldn’t have them enjoying themselves after all.

—————————————————————

Sat in a circle around the candles with the tome set in the center, Nico Minoru began the ritual. “Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the East, the powers of air and invention. Hear us.”

Next Karolina chanted: “Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the South, the powers of fire and feeling. Hear us.”

“Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the West, powers of water and intuition. Hear us.” Rogue contributed

Kitty looked down at the piece of paper with her bit written down, “Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the North, by the powers of mother and earth. Hear us.”

 

Thunder crashed and the sound of fizzling could be heard in the system before all went dark, just barely not pitch-black in the dull red light powered by the backup generator. Lockdown had officially begun.

Nico, Karolina, and Rogue then chanted in unison: “Aid us in our magical workings on this eve. Serpent of old, ruler of the deep. Guardian of the bitter sea. Show us your glory. Show us your power! We pray of thee, we pray of thee. We invoke thee.”

And then, with another crash of thunder, the candles snuffed out and then flicked back to life, burning brighter than they had before. The pages in the book turned slowly at first but soon it was flipping rapidly past grimy page after grimy page until it landed on a specific one.

“Retribution of Raggadorr.” Nico read slowly under the illumination of the candlelight.

“What’s it do?” Rogue asked.

“It’s a hex that promises to punish the subject through…one minor annoyance.” Nico relayed.
Rogue looked at her with bemusement. “Really? This is in the book you stole off Agatha Harkness. Let’s find somethin’ a bit more…more.”

“Hold on this could be useful actually…” Karolina muttered .

Completing her thought process, Kitty suggested “What if we cast it on Illyana?”

—————————————————————

The tone in Agatha’s cell was quickly growing hostile. What was already an uneasy alliance of self-centered witches was built upon access to an item…and now that object was gone. What else was there to do but turn on each other?

“So you don’t have the book? Well this has been a massive waste of my time!” Satana groaned. “This is the last time I do business with you, Agatha Harkness. I could have spent this night with Hela…instead I am in this cell with you. Maybe I should bend you over and make up for what I missed”

“Perhaps she is right. Maybe the best course of action would be the take thee to use to our heart’s delight! Allow it to be a lesson to those who squander my precious attention”

Jennifer nodded. “Not a bad idea.”

“And they say the sanctity of sisterhood in a coven is dead!” Agatha quipped, casual attitude doing little to ease the growing conflict.

“Says the one who killed her first coven.” Jennifer remarked.

Agatha chose to bypass that, knowing there was no good retort. “Give me a little more time before you shove a broomstick up my ass.”

“I don’t know, tying you down and having you eat me out between sessions of shoving stuff up your butt does sound pretty funny. It would be just like old times.” Rio interjected.

Agatha was just about to come back at Rio with a snide remark when Lilia suddenly exclaimed: “They’re attempting to use the Book of the Damned to play childish tricks on someone. Trying and failing no less”

“Who is?” Satana questioned.

 

The image Lilia saw was blurry, details shrouded in a mystic fog (courtesy of the various magic-prevention runes located around the prison). She was just able to make out a faint image of the young thieves. “Four girls. The lead one has dark hair, lots of makeup, kinda goth.”

Agatha laughed. “I knew she couldn't be trusted! We’ll take the book back and make her pay!”
“Let us kill them each and summon the book back!” Morgan decreed without any apprehension to murder.

“Love the enthusiasm but let's circle back to that later” Agatha responded. “Ok, so ideas?”
“How are we gonna get the book back from in here? Don’t know if you noticed but the cells are all on lockdown” Jen replied.

“What about a spell of misfortune?” Lilia suggested.

Satana looked puzzled. “What’s that?”

“How do you not know about misfortune spells?” Jennifer rolled her eyes.

Satana grit her teeth in annoyance. “I haven’t learned every spell from every type of witchcraft! Just explain it like I’m five”

“When a coven is using a tome it cannot be taken directly without manifesting the most recent curses cast tenfold upon the thief. That power must be slowly sabotaged until we have a hold on the book” Morgan explained.

“Ok but they stole it from you without a super hex” Satana questioned.

“We weren’t actively using the book then” Agatha explained.

“Seems obvious a hex shall suffice.” Morgan suggested with a wave of her hand, speaking down to the group.

Rio smiled “Cool! Anyone have a locket of her hair?” She didn’t like Morgan’s attitude and already knew there was a flaw to her idea.

Jennifer was the one to pick up on it. “Besides, you need a cauldron for that. Unless one of you is just hiding one in your jumpsuit, that plan won’t work.”

Satana paused. “A cauldron is just a big metal bowl thing, right? Well we have one thing…”

—————————————————————

“Right then, I’m going to ask you again and you’re going to answer honestly this time. Why were you spying on us?” Elsa Bloodstone questioned. Pacing back and forth slowly, she held a personally-crafted shiv. Before her was the young mutant Jubilee tied down with linens to a chair. Why was a mutant who created fireworks bound up in the cell of a monster hunter and a host of an Egyptian deity? A little ago Elsa and Layla El-Faouly returned to their cell and found the girl rummaging through their things in search of something…or, to Elsa Bloodstone at least, plotting to kill them. It probably didn’t help that Jubilee had been caught holding a shiv. It wouldn’t have been the first time supernatural forces contained within the prison paid someone to do their work.

“I already said, I wasn’t spying on you! Just let me go!” Jubilee frantically pleaded. The interrogation had been going for a long twenty minutes now and it didn’t seem like it would end anytime soon. This was the last time (it wasn’t) she took a dare from Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

Elsa nodded. “Pity for you then, because I don’t believe you.”

“What do you want me to say?” Jubilee asked.

 

“You’re quite thick aren’t you? Why were you in our cell?” Elsa asked, getting increasingly more annoyed by this little circle they were going in. “The faster you answer the faster I may decide whether I untie you or stab you.”

Jubilee fearfully looked at the blade. “It was a dare! I was supposed to steal one of your shivs because Negasonic said I would then be allowed to join the Sisterhood.”

Elsa sighed. “And you expect me to believe that?”

“I mean…yeah kinda. Because it’s y’know THE TRUTH!” Jubilee yelled, giving her surprisingly tight bindings a tug. Her attempt to break free did little but move the chair slightly.

Layla had been mostly quiet throughout the process, only looking up from her book to occasionally provide the rare thought here and there. Her cellmate did tend to be rather…eccentric after all and that was coming from the prostitute with the goddess Taweret inside of her.

“I think she’s telling the truth…” Layla said wisely, setting the book aside.

“She was standing in our cell with a bloody shiv!” Elsa replied before turning her attention back to Jubilee. “Do I look stupid to you?”

A rage at her predicament bubbled inside Jubilee. No matter how misjudged this rage was, and no matter how much she was about to regret this, she just had to say: “Well I mean yeah!”

Elsa immediately lunged at her tied-up captive and raised the dull tip of her blade to Jubilee’s chin. The threat was clear.

Layla sprung up. “Ok why don’t we put the shiv down…” she said calmly. Elsa slowly pulled the shiv back and set it down on the sink. “good…and then maybe you could interrogate her with a different method?” Layla offered.

“You’re lucky she’s here tonight” Elsa said to Jubilee as she dragged the chair over to the toilet and teetered Jubilee’s face over the bowl. She considered makeshift water torture a merciful compromise.

Jubilee’s eyes went wide, left no choice but to peer into the dirty water which her face may or may not be shoved in to in just a moment,

“What was it you were saying?” Elsa asked.

“N-Nothing!” Jubilee sputtered. She let out a sigh of relief as Elsa teetered the chair back…and then pushed it forward. After a few seconds, Jubilee was lifted out of the toilet, coughing and hacking as water went up her nose.

“This was really better than simply cutting her?” Elsa asked Layla in annoyance. There was only a muffled murmur in response. “...Layla? Bloody Hell!” the monster hunter exclaimed, turning to see Layla wrapped from head to toe in bedding, vaguely resembling a mummy. Due to the inexperience of Rogue’s coven, the spell meant for Illyana had been sent to someone random. Unfortunately that someone was Layla, who now was now unable to move in her tight (yet kinda comfortable) confinement.

Elsa spun back around and turned a spluttering Jubilee to face what had happened. “What did you do to her?”

—————————————————————

“So how do we know if the spell, y’know, worked?” Kitty asked. They’d gone through the steps of the relatively easy hex, and then nothing happened. Or at least they thought nothing happened. They didn’t know that in a different cellblock Layla El-Faouly was currently a bit wrapped up (literally).

“Uhhhh…” Nico quickly scanned the tome again. “Well it says here we’ll hear a knock at the door and have a vision.”

Rogue stared unblinkingly. “We don’t have a door.” she said flatly.

Karoline’s face turned philosophical. “Well the bars are kind of a door in a way, are they not?”
They waited in uncomfortably long silence (not counting the sound of the storm outside of course) and…nothing. Absolutely nothing.

“Maybe we should try a different one?” Nico asked awkwardly.

—————————————————————

“You have to be kidding me…” were the words Agatha murmured as the coven gathered around the closest stand-in for a cauldron they could find given the limited number of things in a prison cell.

“Just focus. The faster we do this, the faster we won’t be using a toilet as cauldron!” Jennifer insisted, tossing in “earthen leaves green” (weed) she’d taken off a now resentful Satana. She’d just bought it off Trish and some angry new girl a few hours ago. It was a shame to see it used as an ingredient in some foul concoction and not in her lungs.

“What next?” Lilia asked with apprehension.

“The locket of hair.” Jennifer replied.

Satana reached under the bed, scouring the floor for a strand. Finding what she sought, she excitedly held up a black hair that didn’t look like it belonged to either inhabitant of the cell. “Does this count?”

“That isn’t a locket.” Jennifer said flatly, annoyance in her tone,

Satana frowned. “Yeah but a strand is close enough, right?”

“It will have to be. Put it in” Agatha insisted with annoyance at the delays the night had found her experiencing. The more time she spent with her new temporary coven the less patient she felt.

Jennifer immediately halted the over-zealous Satana. “Stop! This is a precise craft. ‘It will have to be’ isn’t a good basis for attempting anything this delicate”

“Thank you for the lesson. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Why don’t you just go and get us the amount of hair we need…oh wait.” Agatha groaned. “Just. Put. It. In.”

“That’s exactly what you said that night in Salem.” Rio grinned.

Morgan sighed. “Can’t you cease thine advances for a moment? I tire of hearing them.”

Rio shrugged. “Can’t make any promises.” She pushed out her cheek with her tongue, smirking.

The hair was added to the concoction, the addition shifting the water to a greenish shade that swirled with a pale misty foam. The witches gathered close to their ‘cauldron’ as it began to bubble and brew, swarming with an unseen magic.

“Now we need the blood of the most wicked witch of our coven” Jennifer announced, using a plastic spoon to swirl the brew.

“Wicked witch? That really is such a stereotype…but it’s probably Agatha.” Lilia said with copious side-eye.

Agatha took it with stride, grinning with pride.“That’s true. The Wicked Witch was based on me even. Alright, does anyone have anything sharp?”

 

“Pretty sure that isn’t true and you’re so not the most wicked. Morgan is obviously worse than you.” Satana spoke up.

“I am worse than her?” Morgan scoffed. “I hath never done a deed wicked whose end did not justify the path towards it. I righteously wished to see Camelot freed of my tyrannical brother’s reign. If that makes me wicked in the feeble minds of peasantry then so be it”

Everyone except Rio gave Morgan a look. “The ends justify the means isn’t usually a solid argument for righteousness.” Jennifer said.

“So it sounds like Morgan is in agreement that the answer is me” Agatha added, seeing it as a victory. She was just about to ask for a shiv when Lilia suddenly interjected:

“I knew we couldn’t trust her!”

Confusion was the response she was met with. “...Yeah we all knew that” Satana rolled her eyes.

“What?” Lilia asked, wide-eyed.

Jennifer paused. “...You said ‘I knew we couldn’t trust her’”

Lilia nodded no. “No I didn’t.”

“We’re being weird again? That’s fun.” Rio chimed in, evidently avoiding participating in the night’s events save for commentary.

“Just take it” Satana handed a shiv over to a satisfied Agatha.

With a gnarly cut across the arm, the blood was added in. Its sanguine colour swirled into the green liquid in slow circles, never quite diluting in the water.

—————————————————————

Domino had settled in comfortably for the night, cozying herself on her couch (yes she had a couch) in front of the wall mounted tv. She had the most lavish cell in all the prison, a cell so nice that no one quite knew why it was ever built in the first place. It had everything a girl who’d gotten herself incarcerated for the fun of it could ever dream of: a nice bath, a wardrobe of silk pyjamas (still orange and in the prison uniform style of course), a big soft bed, the aforementioned tv, even a few potted plants that were effortlessly lush. She just happened to be lucky enough to be assigned the place.

With the storm furiously beating against the hull of the prison outside, Domino turned on her tv and navigated to Oscape+ where she browsed for a suitable horror flick. The Swamp-Creature of Citrusville a bit too vintage for her mood at the moment. Marvel: Zombies too meta. The Haunting of Ravencroft maybe. Journey into Mystery hard pass. Revenge of The Ghost Rider IV: The Reckoning made her roll her eyes, which is exactly why that was the one.

It was the one that saw the flaming Spirit of Vengeance, established in previous films as a damned gunslinger who sold their soul to the Devil, trading in their blazing steed and poncho for a motorbike and leather jacket. Domino found it to be the most laughably 1980s slasher sequel thing ever.

The woman on the tv let out one of the fakest screams imaginable as an infernal chain wrapped around her and the gory title cued. Just then the power went out across the prison, yet Domino was completely unaffected. It seemed the backup generator just happened to feed enough power to her cell to keep the tv working. Lucky her.

“No tears, please. They are a waste of good suffering.” The Ghost Rider said in his typical emotionless dispassion as he dragged one of the unlikable protagonists through a gate to Hell. Domino mused on how, of the series, this entry had one of the least remarkable plots…until she remembered a key segment of the film. A section of the film, the part she was nearing upon, involved Ghost Rider emerging in a women’s prison to collect the soul of one of the inmates.

Right on cue the next scene opened with the sound of the spirit’s spurs singing as they walked down the dusty moonlit road towards the prison, inter-cut with scenes of very naked women in the prison showers. Why the inmates would be showering in the middle of the night Domino had no clue.

Domino perked up at the part where Ghost Rider’s main target, by the name of Linda Littletrees, showers beside an unnamed blonde inmate. The blonde inmate is new and Linda wants to show her “who’s boss in the joint,” yes the lines in the film were awful. Nervously the prissy new girl tries to cover herself but Linda shoves her against the wall and the two get into a fight resulting in the unnamed blonde woman dropping the soap. From there it’s heavily implied, but not shown, that Linda sexually assaults her. Most people agreed that this scene was completely pointless, besides catering to the director’s abysmally-disguised fetish, but Domino always did have a certain fondness for it. Now having been in prison, she decided that the scene ranked about an 8/10 on the realistic scale from what she’d observed about life in The Raft.

The Ghost Rider let out a low, sombre whistle as he approached the barbed wire fence of the prison, somehow going undetected by security despite literally being on fire. Meanwhile, Linda stripped out of her denim prison uniform to nothing but her underwear and laid down in her bed, looking pretty assured in herself after terrorising the woman in the showers. That was until she heard the whistle.

“Quiet it down, bitch” She barked down the cellblock, mistakenly thinking it was just some annoying inmate. She heard no response.

The whistling only grew louder in the darkness and so Linda rolled her eyes and got out of her bed. Clinging to the bars, she cheesily said: “I said quiet it down or I’ll give you the beatdown of your life in the yard tomorrow!” Yet again, no response. Domino couldn’t help but internally admit that despite the actress’ limited range she really sold the whole sudden-chill-shooting-down-your-spine-because-something-otherworldy look.

Linda took two slow steps away from the bars, looking nowhere near as confident. The whistling was just outside her cell now. It grew louder and louder and then, all of the sudden, stopped. Complete silence. At that moment a chain with some of the worst fire special effects shot out from the barred window behind Linda and wrapped around her torso.

Domino outright burst into laughter as the Ghost Rider teleported in front of the inmate and flatly said: ”I have such sights to show you.” before giving her his trademark Penance Stare. Over the screaming in the film Domino thought she could hear something: whistling. It was subtle at first but it had grown more distinct, unmistakable. She paused the tv and listened. Nothing.

Resuming her terrible film, she swore she could hear it again after a minute or two and so she paused again. There it was now, a low sullen whistle coming from a little down the cellblock. At that moment she felt something metallic coiling around her leg and looked down to see a long chain. She smirked as it pulled her into the air, it had been a relatively boring night until now.

Suspended in midair, the chains wrapped around Domino in tight arcs and diamonds, looping underneath the soft swell of her breasts and around her ribcage before crossing back down over the gentle curve of her stomach. In a minute's time, Domino’s entire torso and the tops of her thighs down to her knees were bound in the intricate design. She gave it a tug but the chains would hold strong as long as she was enjoying herself. It was the tightest (and only) luck-induced Shibari she’d experienced. The longer she dangled there, the more she submitted to the bonds of the chain, the more aroused she became. Her pussy was now unmistakably wet. The burning and yearning built and built, each moment swelling towards a crescendo that could not come, a wave that could not break, and soon her clit was screaming through every corner of her mind for touch. She tried wiggling as much as she could, trying to gain some friction between her legs, but it was hopeless. The more she focused on how excited she was, the less the chains would budge. Of course, this was all her own doing. If she wanted free, the chains would simply come undone through a one in a trillion chance. At least for now, she enjoyed the denial of it all. It was funny how the failed spells of Rogue’s group just so happened to backfire to Domino’s benefit.

—————————————————————

“Do you ever just lay down and close your eyes and imagine you’re just drifting through space? Because sometimes I just feel like I’m floating through the cosmos and it totally rocks.” Karolina mused.

Rogue looked up at her in moody confusion. “Am I supposed to imagine that for this to work?” she asked genuinely, although her tone made it seem snarkier than she intended. Nico and Karolina had suggested testing a simpler spell in the book, Levitation of Limbo, and that was why Rogue was currently laying in the center of the cells surrounded by candles while Nico, Karolina, and Kitty sat around her.

“No. But you can if you want I guess. Why do you ask?” Karolina asked, finding Rogue’s confusion confusing.

Rogue frowned. “Nevermind.”

“Just hold really still” Karolina instructed before looking up at the other two. “You take your index finger and your middle finger and put it under her like this.” She directed, careful to touch only Rogue’s jumpsuit. “Now you have to imagine that she's incredibly light; like she's made of air. Then we need to chant ‘light as a feather, stiff as a board.’” Nowhere in the tome did it expressly say it must be performed this way, but the fun-yet-confusing game aspect had been Karolina’s idea.

“Are arcane spells usually performed through childish games twelve-year olds play at sleep-overs?” Rogue quipped.

“Concentrate or it's not gonna work.” Karolina chided. “Now does anyone have the lighter?”

 

“Here you go…shit where’d it go?” Kitty looked about the cell floor for it but it was nowhere to be found. Not near the candles, nor under the bed. Neither atop the chair or on the barred window sill. Rogue was told to remain completely still, which she excelled at in her near-rigor mortis state, as the others sought out the lost item in the dim cell. When they couldn’t find it they turned to searching under the mattresses, and yet still they found nothing. It wasn’t until the flash of lightning filled the room with a sudden source of light that they saw the lighter upright just beyond the entrance to their cell. It stood upright, as if carefully placed by some unseen person.

A chill shot down Kitty’s spine at the meticulously placed object but she pushed the building fearful notions out of mind. It was just a coincidence. A really bizarre coincidence. Items tended to just fall upright like that all the time. There was certainly nothing odd about it at all. She resolved to think no more of it as long as no one else thought it strange, but of course someone just had to say something.

 

“How ominous.” Nico said flatly before Rogue had a chance to say the same while Karolina looked at the lighter with her eyes wide in bewilderment. She seemed more perplexed than scared. Kitty was taken by surprise as Karolina stepped forward and took back the item without any hesitation and then used it to light a blunt she’d been hiding in a bag they found when they tossed the room.

Taking a long slow drag, Karolina rested back onto her place in the circle and closed her eyes. Nico took her spot next and then Kitty. Karolina exhaled and then opened her eyes, looking just a little more glazed over than the already quite glazed look they previously had. “You ever feel like your brain is being folded like a towel?”

Kitty nodded in awkward support, not wanting to come off judgy since she’d never smoked weed before.“Oh, I kinda thought the lighter was for the ritual.”

Rogue, who need I remind you was still laying still in the middle of the room, coughed to get the attention of the group. “Are we still doin’ this?”

“Oh yeah!” Karolina exclaimed, getting back into the circle and resuming her instructions on what they all do. It took surprisingly more coaching than expected, although that “coaching” was mostly her getting distracted and talking about other topics, before they were ready.
Chanting the incantation of the game, they shut their eyes and held hands around Rogue. Thrice they repeated the chant before they looked to see if it worked.

 

“Holy shit…” escaped from an amazed Karolina, who was of course first to speak. Rogue was hovering in the air.
“Is this workin’?” Rogue asked in annoyance, evidently not aware she wasn’t on the ground.

“You’re…Rogue, you’re like floating.” Kitty replied in astonishment. She’d seen people fly, she’d even attended school with a person who had wings, but this was different. This was magic.

Rogue opened her eyes and looked down, seeing the distance from where she’d been laying. “Woah…” she uttered but then noticed a possible flaw. “H-How do I get down?”

“Shut up or you’re going to fall.” Nico chided playfully.

“Just um try focusing y'know?” Kitty suggested, not actually knowing the answer but wanting to comfort her. The idea seemed plausible enough.

Rogue closed her eyes once more and breathed carefully, picturing herself gently lowering down to the floor. Suddenly there came another crash of thunder, booming across the sea. Rogue immediately dropped far faster than she’d planned. “Ow!” She said, falling on her butt.
“Let’s try something else!” Kitty and Karolina chimed.

—————————————————————

Felicia’s tale wasn’t the only horror story the women of the cell had, apparently prison was full of horrific things to recount. With deals gone wrong, acts that happened to girls being claimed, and cruel punishments, there was no shortage of terror.

A very tipsy (and high) Gwen had just told a story about her night with serial killer Shriek when Michelle asked to go next. Given rare permission from Felicia to do something that didn’t involve putting her face anywhere near the thief’s pussy, she began:

“There was this cell where the women inside were slaves to a prison mommy who revelled in violently bullying them and making sure every waking second was as miserable as her life was. The second she woke up she would degrade them and it only stopped when she was asleep. From the skimpy clothes she made them wear, to the fact that she wouldn’t even let them masturbate, life in her cell was miserable…”

“That sounds horrible…” Kate was aghast…and completely missing that this story was about Felicia.

Michelle continued: “It was. Oh and she’d sell them for cigarettes in the yard where they were whored out to serial killers, gangsters, and supervillains-”

“Ok that’s enough storytime for you.” Felicia cut her off with a stern look.

“No, I want to hear the rest of the story.” Yelena surprisingly insisted. Unlike Kate, she did know who it was about and found it very fun to hear.

Felicia tapped her fingernails against her bed in irritation. “Sorry, Yels, but she’s going to shut up now. Liz…”

“Y-Yes, mommy?” Liz nervously perked up from the spot on the floor she’d been laying at after Felicia finally tired of cuddling.

“Start making out with MJ2.” Felicia snapped.

“I liked the story…” Kate said, thinking that this was about Felicia thinking the story was bad.

 

Not daring to groan, Michelle got off her seat and kneeled on the floor where a very begrudging Liz met her. It wasn’t a secret that they hated each other, all of Peter Parker’s exes did, but they each hated some more than others. For Mary Jane Watson, her mortal enemy was Gwen. But for Liz it was Michelle. And that was exactly why Felicia often made them kiss, make-out, or fuck. It was a favourite punishment of hers that always put a frown on their faces (if their mouths weren’t too busy to frown that is).

Kate shifted uncomfortably as she watched the two unenthusiastic women embrace, locking lips dispassionately and then beginning to loudly do as told, making out in dispassionate yet exploitative fashion. They were practically humping mouths. Kate wanted to look away, both out of respect for them and herself, but it was like watching a train wreck.

Even more disturbing to Kate was that Yelena didn’t see a problem with what was happening. Or at least she didn’t say anything. Wait, did she hear Yelena chuckle? “W-whose turn is it next?” Kate asked, hoping a story would take her attention away from the, quite frankly, weird moment.

Feeling a surge of power over her guests, Felicia chose to press their least sociable member for some engagement. “Jessica, you’ve been pretty quiet tonight. I think it’s only fair that you tell us a story since you’ve drinken most of our booze”

Jessica Jones, now word-slurring drunk, dizzily shot a middle finger into the air that Felicia couldn’t see from her place below the bunk. But fear not because Jessica also had a verbal response and it was as creative as you can expect from her. “Ask me for a story again and I’ll kick my foot so goddamn deep up your crotch it makes you cum.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time, gorgeous.” Felicia smirked.

No one in the cell knew that a spell had been cast upon someone within, the recipient of Karolina’s resentment. But who was it? Take a guess. We’ll be back to this group shortly

—————————————————————

“What’s different?” Rogue asked perplexed by Karolina’s new insistent question. Her, Nico, and Kitty were all staring at Karolina’s face looking for some change the blonde insisted was present after abruptly looking in a mirror.

“Look closely…” Karolina repeated for a third time.

Nico sighed. “I’m looking. I just don’t see any difference.”

“Well I guess you’re just colour blind.” Karolina teased.

“Can't you just like you tell us?” Kitty asked.

Karolina responded with mock-offence. “My eyes are green now!”

Nico paused, giving it a long thought as she cringed inside. “Weren't they always green…” she said with a sheepish grin, suddenly feeling really bad.

“My eyes are normally blue.” Karolina corrected. “You’re my girlfriend and you don’t know what the colour of my eyes are?”

Nico gave a panicked yet incredibly coherent: “What? Well- I…uh…”

“Don’t worry I won’t punish you for that too hard in bed.” Karolina reassured, giving her girlfriend a kiss.

Rogue couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the physical affection. It wasn’t the act which made her uncomfortable, but the fact that she couldn’t do the same with anyone. And then the thought of that reminded her once again of the painfully embarrassing kiss with Kitty. “I don’t understand the point in why you’re showin’ us this…” she said before realising it sounded rude and quickly adding “...besides it lookin’ good of course”

Karolina’s lips softly parted from Nico’s and she turned to Rogue. “Because we made you float and now I changed the colour of my eyes. That means the magic obviously works.”

“So Illyana is just like immune for whatever reason?” Kitty asked. She was still pretty confused by the night’s events but she was just going with it. Illyana randomly being immune to curses was normal for all she knew.

“Yep. So we should try another big spell but not on her.” Nico nodded.

“Sure…but who now?” Rogue questioned.

Karolina beamed. “Oooo I know!”

—————————————————————

Kate was growing uncomfortable in Felicia’s cell but was far too polite to say it. Michelle and Liz’s make-out session had escalated to them undressing each other under the Black Cat’s insistence, Jessica was clearly unhappy about being present, Mary Jane was high (that wasn’t disturbing but it should be stated that Kate didn’t catch on to the poetic nature of it), and Yelena was talking to Felicia about…something. The topic didn’t really make much sense to Kate in her distracted state. But the night was about to get about 100% more uncomfortable when Jessica suddenly gasped as her jumpsuit fell open and she was unable to zip it back up

“Are you ok?” Kate asked in concern at whatever was happening on the top bunk.

The response she received was a simple “fuck off” as Jessica cursed (in a slew of random expletives). No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get her jumpsuit to close and so she tugged at it until, with a loud ripppp, her clothing tore. Next to go were her underwear which was pulled by a force unseen and then Jessica was forced to lay down with her legs spread wide.

“I-Is this normal?” Kate asked fearfully, wondering if it was just another Raft thing.

Yelena, direct as ever, replied: “No, this is not normal.” She had put a hand in the air, shielding Kate protectively from whatever Jessica was doing.

Struggling to break free from some unseen assailant, Jessica’s eyes went wide in pain as she felt herself be kicked…down there. It was a quick, ramming force that seemed to lodge itself between her pussy lips; as painful as it was bizarre. Her own threat had been turned against her. It really seemed more like something that should happen to Felicia.

—————————————————————

Rogue, Kitty, Karolina, and Nico each had a vision of Jessica’s fate, proving that the spell had worked. The thing was no one except Karolina even knew who Jessica was.

“Wait, what'd she do to you?” Nico asked in perplexion. “Who the fuck even is she?”

“She was super rude when I bought that ecstasy last week.” Karolina (the ‘blonde new-agey girl’ from Chapter 20) replied like it was something everyone already knew and she was being forced to remind them.

“I thought we were taking turns.” Nico said.

Karolina nodded “Yes. After this one thing.” Little did they know that the only reason the spell on Jessica actually struck its target was because Agatha’s coven was too busy arguing.

—————————————————————

“Puppy, come here girl. Come on” Illyana condescendingly beckoned Rahne using the most humiliating nickname one could really give a werewolf. Rahne, arse still aching from the torment inflicted just a few minutes prior, rose to her feet but was stopped. “Crawl.” Illyana commanded, staring her slave down until she was intimidated into obeying.

Dani felt a wave of second-hand embarrassment at watching her girlfriend lower onto her knees and crawl over, letting out what sounded like a whimper as she did.

“Sit.” Illyana ordered, followed by Rahne immediately doing as told, knees bent and arms between her thighs. She sat at attention dreading where things could be going. Being treated like a dog was not on her list of expected things for the night but here she was.

Amused, Illyana followed up her old command with a new one. “Roll over.” she said flatly. Rahne shifted uncomfortably, face blushing redder and redder, as she tried to suppress what little dignity she had left in order to get this sick game over with. She wanted to say something, to try and fight back, but it was usually the more outspoken Dani who took the brunt of Illyana’s abuse. Rahne figured at least her girlfriend was being allowed a semblance of a brief reprieve for the night. Unfortunately Dani’s reprieve meant that Rahne had to be the one to get picked on now.

Taking a deep breath, Rahne got on her back and rolled along on the dirty floor like she was feral. In the darkness of the cell she was at least spared complete visibility of the way Illyana smiled at her, that wolfish grin.

“That’s enough. Now come here, puppy. Come on.” Illyana patted the bed for emphasis. Rahne closed her eyes, trying to suppress the urge to say something that would definitely make things so much worse for herself. It was likely because her eyes were closed that she didn’t see how close she was before hitting her forehead against Illyana. Opening her eyes she recoiled in horror at the sight of Illyana’s foot in her face.

“Y-You want me to…” Rahne failed to find the ability to actually verbally express what was being demanded of her. The lycan had found the fact that shoes were prohibited to be repulsive from the start, especially given the usual dirty nature of their work in the vibranium mines, but this outright made her stomach tighten into a sickening knot.

“To clean them, yes. Now be a good pet…” Illyana smiled at just how disgusted Rahne and Dani seemed to be. She’d had her pets for a while but she hadn’t seen either of them like this since the first time she told them that she was going to make them lick her arse or else she’d sell them to Hela.

Rahne swallowed deeply and forced her lips to part. Hesitantly, her tongue softly met the sole of Illyana’s foot, the taste of dirt being less than pleasant. Despite how she gagged, Rahne worked her tongue down her foot, a long wet stroke against grime. A look of disgust sat burdened upon her face, but she would push through the degradation for as long as she could.

Rahne felt a deep scorching burn of shame fill her chest, growing until it felt like it consumed her whole. Her limbs felt limp, almost completely non-existent, as she kept at her task. She knew she couldn’t pull away no matter how much she wanted to. This felt particularly sadistic, even for Illyana. It was more in line with what Dani had heard Emma Frost made her harem do.

“That's a good girl.” Illyana shut her eyes and patted Rahne on the head like a dog. Calmly taking a breath as she let Maya "wash" away the grime.

Rahne licked for what felt like hours (although it maybe was only ten minutes) until she was convinced that they were clean enough for her to stop. Key words: clean enough. As if instinctively knowing that Rahne had rushed through the process, Illyana happily chided her: “You’re only making my night funner if they’re not spotless.”

Rahne whined but hurriedly doubled her efforts, wanting to throw up the entire time. By the time she was done her tongue was dry and practically blackened, but at least it was over. She nudged back and watched the grinning Illyana examine her work. It was hard to tell whether Illyana was grinning because she was satisfied, or if it was because she was about to have a new infraction to punish her slaves over.

“You did good.” Illyana gave a rare mark of approval. Rahne sighed in relief but couldn’t muster the energy to not be abjectly grossed out inside, a sickened look on her fair face. “Are you miserable, puppy?” Illyana gave a mocking frown. “Think of it this way, because your mouth is so gross I won’t want you to lick any other part of me for the rest of the night.”

—————————————————————

Tears fell slowly from Wanda’s tired eyes as she lay with her face beneath Jean Grey’s panty-clad arse, a place she'd been for thirty minutes now. Despite plenty of experience, the witch’s tongue ached from continuously lapping and yet she didn’t dare stop. She knew that she must lick her mistress’ crack until expressly told otherwise…and that very well could have been an hour away. This was coming after an hour of punishments far worse, The Phoenix’s mental degradations so awful that they burned far too much to forget, and so, feeling that surely her girlfriend must grow weary of this soon, she just licked and gagged and cried, hating every humiliating second. All of this because she’d played a board game with Natasha.

At last came sudden reprieve as Jean began to shift. Was she finally bored? Wanda eagerly hoped so. Jean rose from her seated position, allowing Wanda to see something that wasn’t her girlfriend’s butt for a brief moment…and then Jean began to pull down her underwear. Shapely bare bottom now exposed, she gently re-mounted Wanda’s face as if she were a cushion (which, metaphorically speaking, she was). “Continue” was the simple, yet effective, command Wanda was mentally given.

As expected, this continued into the dark hours of the lockdown for some time, with Wanda given no sound to focus on except the pitter patter of the rain outside while Jean silently read a book by torchlight. It would have been boring if not for the fact that it was somehow a relief in comparison to what The Phoenix had done earlier. She knew she wanted out of her relationship, but she was too scared to even dare think of the matter for too long.

Lingering somewhere between sleep and terror at stopping, Wanda lost track of what time it was precisely but her unsavoury punishment came to an end when Jean yawned and dismissively told her to stop. Wanda obeyed the order immediately, needing no second utterance. Hastily she rolled over to cry herself to sleep as Jean went to the top bunk. At best she’d be able to manage a couple hours of sleep where nightmares always awaited her.

The witch curled up into a ball, eyes shut tight, and she nestled her head against her thin pillow. Just as rest began to overtake her, she felt a hand grasp her foot and pull her from her bed. At first she assumed it must have been Jean, unable to sleep and horny, but when she opened her eyes there was nothing but the pitch-black of her cell. She looked up and Jean was still on the top bunk.

Wanda was thrust against the bars and icy fingers trailed along her jumpsuit, cupping her breasts, before aggressively tearing open her zipper and slipping their invisible hand between her thighs. She felt someone wrap their arm around her throat as the palm of the intrusive hand rubbed against her pussy.

—————————————————————

“Was that really necessary?” Lilia asked with disapproval in her tone, but when was disapproval new when dealing with Agatha. Redirecting the hex from the Cuckoos to Wanda seemed cruel.

Agatha shrugged. “It was very necessary.” Seeing how the look of doubt remained, she added: “You have your nose broken for no reason by a depressed mom with fake-kids and see how you feel.” Agatha conveniently left out the bit where she was publically touching herself and then made Wanda clean up her cum.

It was best not to bother arguing with her about it. There was no winning when Agatha started her rants about Wanda.

“Look, this whole hex them into losing power over the book idea isn’t working. I have a better idea. We need to summon her.” Satana suggested, but wasn’t really suggesting so much as insisting that the group would do her idea.

“We’re not doing that” Jennifer insisted.

“The woman…the demon…in there is evil” Lilia uttered with clear fear. She knew what wicked things lurked in those pages, of the door to Limbo.

“Which is exactly why we should summon her! Let her deal with them for us” Satana replied.

“Great idea! I can’t imagine how that could go wrong” Rio chimed in.

Satana furrowed her brow in irritation. Through gritted teeth she asked: “Do you have a better idea?”

“Dozens…but I’m just here to observe.” Rio shrugged, not doing anything to ease the once-again rising tension. The group had had enough of the Green Witch, but Rio didn’t care.

Jennifer was one of the people who’d had enough. “So you broke into this place with whatever The Ring shit you pulled to ‘observe?’ Sorry but I don’t think anyone here believes that. Seriously, who are you?”

Rio gave a mischievous look as she said: “You’ll figure it out eventually. Everyone does.” there was something in her tone that seemed old, far older than she appeared.

Morgan fetched the shiv Agatha had cut her palm with. “That shan’t work for us. Begin to explain thyself in greater-depth.

“You have to stop her!” Lilia shouted.

Rio only laughed at the group, a maniacal sort of cackle that really sold the whole witch thing. She wasn’t going to explain anything, even if tortured. If everyone hadn’t been so focused on Rio, they’d have noticed Agatha was strangely silent in the conversation. “This is getting a little out of hand, isn’t it? Go summon the demon if you want. That’s always entertaining.”

“I will!” Satana yelled.

“...Actually, I don’t think we agreed on that…” Lilia said quietly.

Morgan le Fay crossed her arms. “We haveth few other options. If communing with the damned spells my freedom from this wretched place it is a price I am willing to pay”

“We’re not talking about any demon. We’re talking about using the Queen of Limbo as a tool. That isn’t going to end well. We should just stick with the plan.” Jennifer corrected the arrogant mediaeval witch.

“My daddy is Satan. I think I know what I’m doing” Satana said with unearned (or was it earned?) confidence.

Even Agatha seemed hesitant about the idea but ultimately she decided: “We’ll summon her on them…but we keep her far away from us”

-

The dark cell was filled with the flickering of candlelight. Satana was moving across the room, skillfully drawing lines on the floor with a red substance. The sigil was slowly appearing and the witches were waiting anxiously. Rio had ripped off part of her orange uniform, bandaging up a reluctant Agatha, who had provided her blood for the sigil as she had already been bleeding and they had no chalk or other liquid to draw with other than less savoury options.

“Why did you really come here?” Agatha whispered to Rio so only she could hear. “Is someone going to die?”

Rio skillfully tied up the ends of the unexpectedly professional looking wrappings and smirked at her ex-lover. “People die every day, Agatha. That’s what makes my job so fun. One day I will get your body all for myself…”

Agatha rolled her eyes and pushed Rio away. “You disgust me, Lady Death.”
Rio smiled in return and tucked a stray hair behind Agatha’s ear. “It’s not going to be today, you know. Don’t worry.”

“You…” Both women looked up in surprise as they saw Lilia standing right next to them, clearly having overheard them. “She’s Death!” She yelled. The other women all looked up in
Alarm.

"I knew we couldn’t trust her!” Jen shot up and pointed at Rio accusingly.

Before anyone else could react, the sigil lit up brightly, enveloping everyone in a red glow.
“You have to stop her!” Lilia pleaded, looking at Agatha and then Satana. “Someone is going to die! She only comes to collect the dead…”

“It’s too late!” Satana replied, beads of sweat running down her forehead as she concentrated on her summoning. “Get in place or we all die! We need to redirect her to those idiots or we’re done for!”

Rio shrugged and joined her place in the circle, cackling madly. All the other witches moved reluctantly, eyeing Rio worriedly but focusing on the problem at hand for now. The wind outside seemed to grow louder, and a thunderclap made the room shake.

Satana’s voice echoed through the storm. “Ave, Regina Coboliorum, umbrarum profunditates, descende super nos, ultionem mete. Conspiro tecum de regnis invisibilibus!”

The sigil growed brighter evermore and then suddenly stopped, plunging the entire cell into darkness.

Jen screamed and shuffling of feet was heard, then utter silence.

—————————————————————

Distracted from their failed attempts at spellwork, Nico and Karolina were currently getting a bit too close while Rogue and Kitty were left to watch in shared discomfort. The couple practically had forgotten they had guests at all as they were lost in each other’s lips. But it wasn’t the impromptu make-out session that was making Rogue unsettled. It was the now piercing silence between herself and Kitty that forced her to sit with her thoughts more than she liked. She’d done her best to try and avoid silent moments since they reunited but now they were left with no other choice. She didn’t know what to say to her ‘friend’ that wasn’t the confession that had been bubbling inside.

Rogue heaved a sigh of relief when Kitty was the first to speak…and then the question was one that flooded the stress right back in. “Sooooo guess prison here hasnt like had many options for you in the dating field?” Kitty asked, under the impression Rogue was straight. After all, she’d only ever seen Rogue date that cute Cajun with an accent she honestly couldn’t understand a word of.

“No. Not many options when I can’t exactly touch anyone.” Rogue said glumly…before realising that maybe now was her chance. What better night to confess one’s love than a violent storm? “Well I guess there is one girl…” the goth said, giving Kitty a look that pleaded for her to fill in the blank.

Kitty nodded in surprise. “Oh I didn’t know you were bi! That’s cool…”

Rogue shifted uncomfortably, wishing she was having any other conversion right now. Her usual moody, ‘I-don’t-care’ demeanour was entirely gone at this moment, replaced by an adorably shyness. “I literally kissed you…”

Kitty blinked blankly. “Yeah but…y'know… like you said that was just because you were excited…”

Kitty wasn’t catching on. Left with no other choice, Rogue decided to take the metaphorical knife and stab at the heart. “Kitty…I really like you”

“Aw I really like you too!” Kitty smiled, oblivious.

Rogue frowned (more so than usual). “No I like like you”

Kitty looked at Rogue like she was having a stroke. It felt like she’d just said that.“Um yeah I like like you too.” She said slowly yet confidently.

Rogue let out a furious, bloodcurdling scream inside. She couldn't take it anymore. “Kitty, I have a crush on you! I’ve had a crush on you since High School! I’m trying to say that I want to date you!” She yelled.

Kitty gasped. “Ohhhhhhhh…”

Rogue gave her an anxious look, trying to read Kitty’s reception of her confession off a simple exclamation.

“...that explains a lot.” Kitty said quietly.

“D-Do you feel…the same way?” Rogue asked nervously.

“Um…” Kitty paused for an agonisingly long second, each millisecond extending on for seemingly forever. Rogue’s heartbeat faster in fear of rejection, growing near the precipice of all he could stand when Kitty excitedly finally answered: “Totally!”

“Really?” Rogue asked in surprise, half-expecting that any moment of vulnerability would surely lead to a horrific end. “...Can I kiss you?”

Kitty didn’t take as long to answer that question, drawing close to the goth. Just as their lips nearly met there was a flash of flame in the center of the cell that ruined the moment…plus it was pretty terrifying, but Rogue cared more about how it ruined the moment.

A pillar of black smoke, swirling with wire fire and brimstone, erupted and from it sprang the cries of the damned. Lurking within that darkness were a pair of unblinking glowing eyes that surveyed the room with malice. “What fool dares conjure me?” a demonic feminine voice boomed at the shroud began to vanish, revealing a scantily clad woman with violently red hair.

“W-Who are you?” Nico fearfully asked.

“Who am I? I am Madelyn Pryor; Queen of Limbo, Mother of Goblins, Forger of Chains, Lady of the Damned, The Adversary, The Grim Torturer…you get the idea. Basically, I’m about to be the biggest regret of your lives”

Madelyn looked at the dark tome with interest…but it could wait. She would take it after playing with her new mortal toys. She deserved a bit of fun after tending to her queenly obligations (which to be fair she also enjoyed). She was just about to strip each girl naked and force them on their knees so they could start their…Black Mass, but then came the one question she loathed.

Rogue and Kitty were terrified by the demon, but they couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you look like Jean?”

“Silence!” Madelyn hissed, mystically conjuring a gag on both mutants. There was no good way to answer that question without admitting that Jean was her genetic basis. It was a fact Madelyn hated given her desire to be one of a kind. She’d become Queen of Limbo and still she was just “Jean's clone.”

“I was in the middle of penetrating someone with the blunt end of my pitchfork before you so rudely interrupted me…” Madelyn said while lifting each of the inmates into the air and dragging them in close.

“Blunt end of a pitchfork?! Oh my god!” Karolina screamed.

Madelyn smiled. It was nice knowing she didn’t need to be on a throne surrounded by demons to terrify mortals. “Are you interrupting me while I’m talking about how rude it is that you interrupted me? You’re the ones who brought me to this…prison…and you want to whine? Didn’t anyone tell you girls that the warnings come after the spells?”

Hearing murmuring coming from Kitty she removed the gag to hear the girl say: “I-I’m sorry”
“Oh, she's sorry! She's sorry, she's sorry, she's sorry, she's sorry, she's sorry!” Madelyn mocked. “You have no idea how sorry you’ll be when I roast your ass over the eternal flames”

“I really should return home…but I have enough time for a show” Madelyn said. Before any of the prisoners could object they were spun through the air and forced into a twisted show for the demon queen’s amusement. It started with Nico, who was raised above Karolina so that, when the blonde looked up, she was met with her girlfriend’s womanhood resting against her lips. She needed no command to understand what Madelyn wanted her to do, and she could hardly object given the power imbalance.

 

As Karolina fervently lapped away at Nico, Rogue watched with horror and jealously as Madelyn began to “play” with Kitty’s…kitty. The goth mutant couldn’t help but let out a scream into her gag at the sight that only encouraged Madelyn.

 

“Jealous of your friend?” Madelyn teased Rogue, running a sharp black fingernail across Kitty’s clit as she did.

It seemed as if Madelyn would go further but against all odds she grew bored of Kitty and turned her attention to Karolina. This of course didn’t mean Kitty was free, no she was abruptly moved through the air until her sex now rested against Nico’s mouth and Karolina was forced to watch. Chains wrapped around Rogue’s arms and directed her to begin touching herself, essentially making her a cuck to her barely-a-girlfriend-of-two-minutes unwilling affair. For all that it mattered, Nico refused to lick.

Able to stand it no longer, Rogue exclaimed: “We didn’t summon you!”

“You didn’t summon me?” Madelyn laughed, having heard that before. “Repeat that again, and know lying to me will result in me tossing you into a bottomless pit for all eternity”

Rogue, heavy breathing and still not allowed to stop what she was doing, tried to explain: “I swear that we didn’t do anythin’ to summon you! We have no idea why you’re here”

“Well then who summoned me, girl?” Madelyn questioned with subtle interest, stopping her perverse show for a minute.

“We don’t know!” Kitty chimed in. “We didn’t like even do any summoning rituals”
The Goblin Queen thought for a moment. She’d tortured enough liars to know these girls weren’t lying…which left only one other possibility. “My my, Sounds like you’ve made someone with quite a lot of skill mad. Can’t imagine you’re all that undeserving. Let this be a a lesson to you each on the consequences of tampering with evil spellbooks. Maybe I should drag you back to Limbo with me and make you my new pleasure slaves…after putting you through torments unimaginable of course”

Madelyn already was devising what sequence of hellish torments she’d make them endure. She loved breaking people down until the very last sliver of hope was crushed. If only it were that simple. “...but unleashing a being as magnificently powerful as myself on complete morons such as yourselves hardly seems fair. Perhaps I should pay this anonymous inviter a visit…” She dropped each member of the coven and reached down to retrieve the book…which was now gone. It was all starting to make sense to the demon now. Just before she could leave, Rogue boldly asked a question:

“Don’t we deserve some apology for this?”

Madelyn smirked. “Are you trying to bargain with me?! You should count yourself lucky I”m letting you go”

Kitty suddenly felt like she had to say something to help Rogue. “I-It’s just um that we’ve like been trying all night to hex Illyana Rasputin and nothing has…y’know…worked. Maybe you could do something to her?” She asked. “But please don’t kill her or drag her to like Hell or whatever”

“Illyana?” Madelyn seemed to recognise the name. “I’ll see what I can do…” and just like that the demon was gone in a flash of black smoke, leaving Rogue, Nico, Kitty, and Karolina incredibly confused on what just transpired.

 

—————————————————————
“What happened?” Lillia yelped, feeling around in the darkness. Suddenly, the candles blazed once more and Rio was sitting casually on the bed in the corner of the room, smirking.

“Congratulations, you did it.”

The room was quiet, unsure what exactly they ‘did’. It didn’t seem like anything had changed.
“Well it obviously didn’t work.” Jen said in an annoyed voice. She was so sick of dealing with these bitches.

“Oh, but it did.” Agatha chuckled from the corner of the room, darkened by shadows. “Time to take matters into my own hands.” Another spectral glow had appeared on the floor below her feet, smaller this time. The makeshift bandage Rio had given Agatha, filled with scratchy runes, was surrounded by splotches of Agatha’s fresh blood. “Thanks for the fabric, darling.”

Rio looked shocked and surprised, but it was unsure if she was in on the plan or not. The rest of the witches appeared glued to the floor, unable to move.

Agatha started chanting. “O spiritus Chthonii, accipite has praestigias in tributum, erit enim illorum robur tuum. Sed mihi redde votum, et me ex hoc abysso evoca!’”

Each of the trapped witches slowly began to feel their life force weaken, draining faster and faster as Agatha recited the incantation. Agatha did in fact need a coven to escape that much was true, but she didn’t need them alive to do so. They were a sacrifice. Their power would be enough juice for Agatha to pierce the confines of the prison. Although they tried to fight back, it was pointless. The spell’s hold on them was too tight.

A soft pop was heard and in the circle appeared a book. It looked old and battered. The Darkhold. Then, flaming letters appeared on the floor.

A WITCH SHAL: NOT BETRAY HER COVEN. MY WORDS WILL NEVER AGAIN BE YOURS.

A black flame shot into the sky from Agatha’s sigil, making her jump back. With the sigil destroyed, the other witches were able to move again.

Appearing in the cell with a dramatic flash of lightning, Madelyn picked up the book and gave it a quick look though. “Oh don’t mind me just passing through” She smiled wickedly. Satisfied that the tome was in fact the one she sought (she wasn’t going to fall for a knock-off…again), she looked up at Agatha. “Y’know in the old days, if a witch betrayed her coven, they would kill her”

“Madelyn…you-” Agatha began to try to make up some excuse but was hushed.

“I don’t want to hear it. I’m really sick of being in this realm so let’s make this quick. The pain you’ll experience at my hands in Limbo will be deliciously indescribable…” Madelyn began but stopped when Rio’s grim glance caught her eyes. Where others saw Aubrey Plaza, Madelyn could see the woman’s true form and she wasn’t about to piss off Death. Quickly she changed her threat. “...I’ll leave you here…but with a parting gift for the ’fun’ night” her tone dripped with sarcasm.

Madelyn snapped her fingers and then suddenly Agatha felt the sting of cold metal locking itself around her waist. Reaching down she realised what it was…a chastity belt. “You can’t-” Agatha sputtered.

“I can. Oh and this…” A jagged key of red hot metal appeared in Madelyn’s hands “...is the key. Just so you know, I’ll be throwing this into a black hole.” Giving the assembled coven a smirk she bid them ado with a taunting “enjoy yourselves with her, or turn your back on her. You’re right to do so.” and then, through a molten gateway of grasping hands, she was gone.

With the danger gone and punishments dealt, the room was eerily quiet. None of the witches spoke a word for time until Morgan asked with a bloodlust: “So shall we kill her?”

“No objections from me. It only seems fair” Satana agreed. “Let’s make it slow”

Rio picked up the shiv and pointed it at the coven converging on a panicked Agatha. “The only one who gets to slowly torture her to death is me…” Death defended, waving the blade as a demonstration on how prepared she was to kill.

 

Agatha looked up in rare gratitude…and then Rio added: “...There are better things we can do than kill her”

It took awhile but the witches had their fun taking turns with a helpless Agatha Harkness. When all was said and done, the cell was messied with something other than blood. In the end only Agatha and Rio remained, Agatha’s fingernails scratching at the tough iron already hurting her sensitive skin. “No…Nooo.” She whined. She turned around to face her former lover, tears on her cheeks.“You lied to me! No one even died tonight. You didn’t come here for a body, you came here to torture me.”

Rio shrugged. “Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. Soon enough there will be a body for me to claim. I thought I could stick around a little longer. This cell seems comfortable enough.” She settled on Agatha’s bed comfortably and petted the space next to her.

Agatha let out a frustrated, agonising scream and fell to the ground.

—————————————————————

Morning finally came and with it the power returned, signalling the passing of the storm. The Raft was back to usual, the lockdown was over. There had been no escape, no predicted death. As the barred doors opened and guards once more patrolled, the inmates who weren’t in their cells began to return to their confined homes.

Among the first, Illyana came stumbling out of her cell, taking pained strides now that Lockheed was currently shoved up her butt. Against all odds, Madelyn had actually gone through with Kitty’s request. Seeing their bully near tears at being on the receiving end of being pegged, it had taken incredible willpower for Dani and Rahne to hold their laughter until Illyana was out of earshot.

Domino yawned as she got out of bed, having enjoyed her night of bondage and slasher films. The chains that had wrapped around her had just so happened to give out and disappear when she was feeling tired. She’d certainly had an entertaining time.

It took hours of fighting with a bedsheet, but Elsa Bloodstone had finally managed to free Layla from her mummy bondage by sunrise. As soon as Layla didn’t have a sheet in her mouth stopping her from speaking, she agreed with her beloved monster hunter that it was something they would never discuss again. Jubilee had slipped out and made a vow of her own, that she’d never again take a dare from Negasonic (a vow she would break in a few hours time).

Wanda didn’t end up getting a second of sleep after being spectrally assaulted, having been held up against the bars for most of the night while repeatedly being felt up. Jean had found it incredibly amusing though…for the first hour. After that it was just disruptive to her much needed rest and so she ripped Wanda’s jumpsuit and used the fabric to keep her girlfriend quiet. The gag was tied around the bars so Wanda still was tied to the door by daybreak. This was totally a loving healthy relationship that wasn’t collapsing by the hour.

Jessica returned to her cell, crotch still aching and suffering from a particularly nasty hangover, with a newfound enthusiasm for sharing a cell with Trish. It turned out things could be worse than sharing a room with the adopted-sister you turned in. Much worse. Meanwhile, Kate needed to have a very serious conversation with Yelena about her choice in what friends she introduced her to. Suffice to say, Kate never wanted to spend the night at Felicia’s again. There were scarier things than ghost stories.

Needless to say Agatha’s Coven was officially disbanded, each member choosing to go their separate ways after Agatha’s betrayal. By the next night Agatha would be handcuffed in bed while her new cellmate, a tauntingly naked Rio, drummed her fingers against her chastity belt, enjoying every locked up second a voraciously horny Agatha now endured. Just because she was Death didn’t mean she couldn’t spend some time enjoying her caged ex-girlfriend.

Rogue and Kitty bid Nico and Karolina an awkward goodbye, agreeing to make plans for another coven meeting soon, this time without any stolen evil books. They’d had their fair share of demons for a lifetime…or until the next time they ran into Satana at least.

Now back in their cell, the first thing Kitty and Rogue noticed was the conspicuous absence of Illyana, a fact they both found comforting. It meant they finally had a quiet moment to talk…or do other things. They had a lot to sort out now that they were dating after all.

“So um about earlier…” Kitty nervously began, their previous moment having been interrupted by the Queen of Limbo’s dramatic arrival. The anxious start immediately made Rogue freeze, nervous Kitty had changed her mind. But what followed was nothing to fear. “...I think we like left off on you kissing me”

Rogue, practically giddy (which didn’t look all that different from her usual flat demeanour if we’re being honest) leaned in as Kitty entered a state of half-phase so it wouldn’t hurt. The goth felt like she could hear both of their hearts racing with excitement. This was the moment. Rogue’s first proper kiss with anyone and Kitty’s first with another woman. Their soft lips met in a perfectly imperfect embrace…and cue Illyana showing up, angrier than ever.

“How did you do you it?” the blonde questioned, leaning against the bars.

Kitty sighed as once again her kiss with Rogue was interrupted. “Do what?” she feigned ignorance.

“You’re not that stupid.” Illyana pointed at Rogue. “You threatened to shove Lockheed up my ass and then I woke up and guess where he was?”

Rogue furrowed her brow in disgust. “Please tell me you plan on washin’ him” she remarked

“Well duh. But he has separation anxiety. This isn’t good for him” Illyana replied like it made sense. “Oh and you summoned Madelyn at me? You losers thought Limbo would scare me? I was basically their de-facto queen before she got the crown. Alright, enough talk. Both of you bend over”

Kitty and Rogue gave each other terrified glances, knowing that whatever Illyana (apparently a literal bully from Hell) had in store for them this time was going to be bad. But at least they’d go through it together.

—————————End Credit Scene————————-

Agatha tiredly wiped a thick layer of sweat off her forehead with a dirtied hand as she panted for air. She was one week into her amended life sentence, now removing any sort of self-pleasure from her incarceration. Periodically (as in at least every few minutes) she rubbed her caged crotch as if suddenly her chastity belt would be gone. No such luck so far. Even worse were Rio’s occasional touches, quick tappings against Agatha’s confinement between pickaxe swings when guards weren’t looking that left Agatha yearning for so much more.

She took another weak swing at the rocks in front of her…and then she felt the stroke of a tongue beneath the chastity belt. It came as an immediate shock to her touch-deprived womanhood. Faster this unseen force licked, edging Agatha along. It didn’t take long for the witch to come to the precipice of her first orgasm in an agonisingly long seven days…and then it stopped just before she came. Victoria Murdock, from her place in Limbo, was chained down and forced to do this through a portal. She wasn’t just a vintage Marvel cameo thrown in at the beginning of this story for the fun of it, but a vintage Marvel cameo added in for plot reason! Madelyn had chosen to butcher two birds with one knife, tormenting both the vehemently straight damned soul and the sexually fragile Agatha.

Agatha groaned in misery, hitting the cave wall in frustration…and then Victoria (under threat of red hot pokers) began again. Desperately, Agatha’s hands flew below in a frenzied, desperate, hopeless attempt to stop the oral... and then she was suddenly shocked through her collar for stopping her work.

“Pick up the pace, inmate” a guard chided. Agatha now faced the horrifying realisation that she was going to be edged for as long the belt remained on.

Chapter 28: Gwenpool and Wolverine

Summary:

On the two year anniversary of the series, an eager fangirl by the name of Gwendolyn Pool appears in The Raft’s universe and embarks on a quest, with the begrudging help of X-23, to lose her virginity. Chaos ensues.

Notes:

I cannot believe we’ve been doing this series for two years now! That’s absolutely incredible! I just want to say thanks to anyone who has stuck with the series for that long, or may have started reading somewhere along the way. It means so much to us that people have enjoyed a silly little thing we wrote but doubted we’d actually keep up as a story this long.

Chapter Text

“Alright let’s do this one last time. My name is Gwendolyn Poole. I’m not Gwen Stacy and I’m not Deadpool. We’re not variants. Those are entirely different characters who I bear absolutely no relation to. I can’t help the fact that my parents gave me a name that makes me sound like an amalgam character. I’m just your ordinary geeky girl whose hobbies include following the MCU, cosplay, comicbooks, and reading fanfiction. A few days ago this weird thing happened. And I mean, like, really weird because I was pulled into a fanfic. And not just any fanfic, but The Raft. Ever since arriving in this part of the multiverse I’ve had one thing on my mind; getting myself arrested (because what better way for a girl to finally lose her virginity than at the hands of horny locked up lesbians?). Only question is, how does a non-magic, non-mutant, totally normal person get sent to The Raft? Well for no reason other than sheer authorial laziness, I showed up wearing an outfit I was preparing for Comic-Con and that is a perfect way to pretend to be a super-criminal”

Enjoying the exhibits of the New York City Aquarium, Gwendolyn couldn’t help but notice the weird looks she received from every stranger she passed. Could it have been the duffle bag she was holding? The pink and white superhero costume she was wearing? The fake katanas on her back? Shaking the topic out of mind, she opened her bag and pulled two very real guns out and waved them in the air wildly. “Alright everyone, put your hands behind your knees, and get down on your head!”

Her demand was met with equally distributed reactions of terror, compliance and confusion. A little over half the room's occupants screamed and fled for the exits. Most of those who remained fell to their knees with their hands behind their heads, as they assumed she meant. A sizable minority simply raised their hands in surrender, while a few (literally three people) tried to assume the position she described with minimal success.

“Don’t worry, this isn’t a robbery” Gwendolyn failed to reassure the terrified crowd. “Just stay still and no one will get hurt-” BANG! The sound of her accidental gunshot rang out and then there was a collective scream. “Oh shit sorry I thought the safety was on” she tried to sooth, sighing in relief that the gun was aimed at the ceiling when it went off.

Keeping one gun raised, she brought her attention down as she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a smaller watertight plastic bag, scooping a few of the fish out of a tank and putting them in. Watching them swim in, she softly said: “In you go.”

Bag filled, she looked at the massive tank behind her, at the shark swimming inside, and said: “You’re next, big guy.”

Skipping over to the shark tank and gently touching the glass she kept her guns levelled at her hostages before turning her attention to the creature. “Ok I’m calling you Jeff. How am I gonna get you outta here, Jeff?” she asked. Failing to get a response she nodded. She genuinely was trying to figure out how to get a massive shark back into the ocean when museum security burst into the room. "Drop the weapon!" They yelled, pistols raised.

“I feel like you’re going to shoot me anyway” Gwendolyn replied, spinning around and proudly presenting the bag of fish. These being New York rent-a-cops, they were going to shoot in the next half second whether she obeyed them or not. Left with no other choice, she jumped and took cover behind the shark tank. It was a miracle none of the bullets hit her on the way. The same could not be said for the tank, which was struck by a dozen bullets before it shattered, spilling gallons of water and the shark onto the various surrendered hostages and the security guards. All were disoriented, civilian, cop and sea-creature alike. As for Gwendolyn, she was completely horrified. “Holy shit! You killed Jeff!” she screamed, heartbroken. That definitely wasn’t part of her plan. To be fair, it was a plan drawn in crayon.

In the complete chaos that had broken out in the aquarium, Gwendolyn pulled a little white flag out of her bag and waved it from her cover spot. Unfortunately, her flag was ignored for a bit, then a bullet was shot through it. Apparently, New York cops are about as unhinged in this universe as they are in Earth 1.

“Traditionally a white flag is a symbol of surrender!” She shouted over the sound of gunfire. “Geez. Try to rescue a few fish and you get shot at” she added, not really phased by anything that was happening. She was pretty confident she wouldn’t die given the nature of the story she was in.

The cops began to move around her cover. As things stood at the moment, she was looking at the women's wing of Ryker's Island. Not exactly the sapphic-superhero fest of The Raft that she wanted. “I should probably warn you that I’m a mutant and if you come over here I will create an explosion large enough to level the place” she improvised. Despite the odds, it worked because it gave the officers pause. They glanced at each other, not sure what to do.

“Why are you standing there? Go call your local superhero!” Gwendolyn demanded. “Preferably one with a no-kill rule”

"This does kinda seem like Amphibian's turf..." Said one of the officer’s to another.

“The fish fucker? Pass!” Gwendolyn paused to consider who would be preferable. “If we’re going with members of The Seven, can it be Moonstone?”

One of the cops tilted his head. "The Seven?"

Gwendolyn sighed. Was it still a Freudian slip if it was intentional? “The Squadron”

"Uh...look." One of them said. "If you give us the guns and the swords, and come quietly outside to the car, we'll see what we can do about a chat with Moonstone, or maybe Thunderstorm, okay?"

All Gwendolyn had to say was “send them now or the place blows” and they scattered like flies. She was in no mood to bargain for anything less than the full arrested by a superhero treatment. Once the doors were closed and she was in the ruined remains of the aquarium alone, she sat down and waited patiently by making sounds while aiming her guns at the wall.

A few minutes passed before a superhero arrived. Emerging from the stairway above, electricity buzzing about her, long black cape swaying, and raw bloodlust in her eyes, Thunderstorm was in no mood for games.

“Hiya” Gwendolyn waved cheerily, hopping to her feet.

"And who are you supposed to be?" Thunderstorm asked, nonplussed. The woman she saw before her was blonde haired and blue eyed...and that gave Thunderstorm pause from what she had planned to be an immediate kill. She wasn’t just any disturbed person with some superpowers who’d managed to gain a place on The Squadron, but an actual nazi.

“First name: Gwendolyn. Last name: Poole. Please don’t combine them” Gwendolyn replied.

Thunderstorm raised her right hand, buzzing with purple coloured lightning. "Only on your tombstone."

“Woah! Ok look, seductive Lord of Thunder, I’m a huge fan…” she wasn’t “…and I just really wanted to meet you. PS: I’m not even a mutant so the explosion threat was a total lie!”

"Not even a mutant..." Thunderstorm said with a faux pout. "...Apart from your aryan features, I have no reason to show restraint. And the features alone aren't enough, so..."

That was when Moonstone smashed the doors down just as Thunderstorm was about to disintegrate Gwendolyn, raising her hands and shining moonlight in photogenic superhero style. "In the name of the moon, you're under arrest!"

"Schweinhund..." Thunderstorm muttered too quietly to be heard except by those with fourth wall breaking powers.

As annoyed as Thunderstorm was, Gwendolyn was beaming as she was blinded by a flash of Moonstone’s weird light powers. “Finally!” she exclaimed.“I thought your friend was about to kill me”

Moonstone looked momentarily confused as to why she would think that but she didn't get distracted. "You surrender?"

Gwendolyn mimed deeply reflecting on her answer, raising her fingers to her chin. “Well am I going to The Raft if I do?”

Moonstone hesitated, assuming the answer any sane reasonable person would want was no. The only issue was that she wasn’t currently dealing with a sane reasonable person. Instead she had whatever Gwendolyn was. "You'll get a fair trial..."

Gwendolyn didn’t look all that happy with that answer, crossing her arms and making a sort of petulant pout. It didn’t seem like it was going to go her way unless she came up with something fast. “I- I’m…I’m a psychic! Yeah I know S.W.O.R.D has been negotiating with the Kree Empire. I can also name several high top secret ranking security officials at The Raft. Oh and I know you guys killed Vision!” She named a few things learned from reading the chapters and the timeline.

Moonstone paused, confused on two fronts. Firstly, she was still under the assumption that The Raft was something the girl wanted to avoid. Secondly, she knew nothing about the Kree negotiations or the death of Vision, but Thunderstorm did and reacted in a way that wasn’t too extreme for the situation at all. She put a hand around Gwendolyn’s throat and pulled her into the air. "How the fuck do you know all that? And don't tell me it's psychic powers, because you told me yourself you're no mutant."

“Chokehold-play? Kinky” Gwendolyn weakly quipped while gagging from the feeling of the hand around her throat. “I can be a psychic but not a mutant. I did years one through eight at the Kamar-Taj school of witchcraft and wizardry.”

"Cute." Thunderstorm said joylessly, her eyes burning with barely contained homicidal urges.

“Believe me when I say that I really hate to prove Alan Moore right, but you’re givin’ off some real fascist vibes if I’m being honest” Gwendolyn remarked to Thunderstorm, knowing what it would mean to her.

Thunderstorm paused, her eyes widening as she tried to figure out how Gwendolyn knew her secret. She let go of the criminal’s throat. Moonstone was currently confused by a different topic, which she verbalised by asking: “Who’s Alan Moore?” while going about taking Gwen’s guns and swords, and cuffing her hands behind her.

“Long story” Gwen gave a shrug while eagerly submitting to being cuffed. “I don’t think these are tight enough.” Moonstone, not sure how to reply to that, simply pulled them slightly tighter.

“Thank you” Gwen said sweetly. “So am I going on trial or can we just skip straight to prison?”

—————————————————————

“I guess straight to prison it is” Gwendolyn grinned, knowing a trial scene would be cut from this chapter for the sake of pacing. She probably could have gotten a lengthy-yet-reasonable sentence of a decade at Ryker’s Island if she’d kept her mouth shut. Instead, she was given an indefinite sentence at The Raft under the International Security and Secrecy Resolution because she chose to antagonise the S.W.O.R.D Tribunal by repeatedly sharing various top-secret things she knew.

The jet landed, the boarding ramp descended, and Officer Renee Winters climbed aboard to greet the new arrival. "Welcome to The Raft, inmate” she said with the kind of big smile that usually terrified new girls…which means it had the opposite effect on Gwendolyn.

“You’re…You’re Renee Winters!” Gwendolyn exclaimed. “Huh I thought you’d be less Abella Danger and more…well just someone else”

Renee blinked. "I...How do you know who I am? And who's Abella Danger?"

“Oh uh…um she’s a…porn star” Gwendolyn blushed.

Renee’s eyes narrowed, unimpressed. She pulled Gwendolyn up from her seat, and directed her towards the search room with a smack to the ass. The guard (naively) hoped that Gwen would shut up for the rest of the short walk. Unfortunately for Renee, silence was not Gwendolyn’s strong suit. “So who was your favourite inmate to search? Was it Julia? Do you specifically look for big tittied women to claim, or are you just really lucky? Do you sleep here? Am I asking too many questions?”

"I'm not answering any of those first three. Yes, guards quarters are in an annex to the Raft facility, and yes, you are” Renee responded with slight annoyance.

Gwendolyn gave her an apologetic smile. “Sorry…I’ll shut up…or you could make me…” Her offer was met with no response.

They arrived at the search room and Renee closed the door behind them. Without any delay, the guard bluntly ordered firmly: "Alright, strip. Take off each item, one at a time, and hand them to me."

Gwen spun around to face her, dramatically making a show of thrusting her hands back on the table as she fluidly lowered to her knees. Her flare for the dramatic was both out of excitement and because her sexual knowledge came primarily from a very unrealistic source.

Frowning at the fact that her proposition was ignored, Gwendolyn still obediently nodded and took her place in the center of the room where she began to undress. She hadn't even taken off her boots yet and already this all felt so surreal to the geeky virgin. For the first time, she was about to actually be undressed in front of another person…like sexually.

First she did away with her boots and socks, then her belt and her harness which held her fake katanas. She was awkwardly attempting to make it a sort of striptease. Turning her back towards Renee, she bended forwards while she undid her thigh-holsters but she’d completely forgotten how unforgiving this costume really was. The simple act of bending over made it ride up some very uncomfortable spots that promptly made Gwendolyn decide to quit the show and just rush through the process. After fumbling to take off the leotard, she spun around. “Ta-da!” Gwendolyn announced, unhooking her bra. But her upbeat dorky demeanour began to collapse to despondance as she watched Renee’s stoic look over her almost naked body. The lacklustre reception lasted only a few seconds before Renee cracked a smile and laughed at her nerdy cuteness. "You're pretty eager huh..."

“You could say that” Gwendolyn said coyly.

“You seem to know a lot about this place, and I'm gonna ask about that later, but for now, I assume it means you know what comes next."

“Of course! It’s only like the best part…well at least in the top 3” Gwendolyn exclaimed, pulling her underwear down and kicking them aside.

"Up on the table." Renee ordered, snapping on latex gloves.

“Who knew the snap of latex gloves could be such a turn on!” Gwendolyn said while assuming position at the table, bending forward with a wiggle of her pasty ass.

"Turn on, huh? So I guess you've already lubed yourself..." Renee confirmed it with her fingers. Letting out a premature moan, Gwendolyn seemed like she was metaphorically ready to cum at first touch.

“I’ve never really had anyone else’s hand…down there…” Gwendolyn explained. She moaned at every little touch of Renee’s wandering finger during the search. It wasn’t even necessarily invasive yet, at least not by Raft standards. She considered losing her virginity as being brought to climax by another and here she was about to finally accomplish it. “Oh wow…It’s…mmm…so different when it’s someone else’s fingers” the fangirl said between adorable little gasps as Renee moved her fingers in and out gently, rubbing her clit with her thumb.

Abruptly, Gwendolyn felt Renee’s decreasing tempo. Slowed down, but not stopped entirely. Renee wanted her to beg. “W-What are you doing?” she asked innocently

"Well, you don't seem to be hiding anything..." Renee said with a smirk.

Gwendolyn figured out what the guard wanted. “Pleeeease will you let me cum?” she pleaded

"Why?" Renee asked, teasingly "What's in it for me?"

Gwendolyn thought over what she could offer but the answer was pretty obvious. “I’ll do literally anything you want” why narrow it down to something specific when she could surprise herself?

"Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing you've never eaten pussy before?" Renee questioned.

“Well I’ve fantasised about it if that counts”

"It doesn't." Renee said flatly. "But you'll get plenty of experience in here. So, you eat me out after your search, and I let you orgasm...after I do. Deal?'

“Not the mutually assured climax deal! I’m so in!” Gwendolyn said over-enthusiastically.

Officer Renee withdrew her gloved fingers and wordlessly began applying lubricant to them. Once done, she pressed her fingers against the tight little pucker of Gwendolyn’s butt, and slowly pushed her way in. Usually, she would be rougher, but between Gwendolyn’s youth and cute demeanour, she went easy.

Gwendolyn leaned forwards against the table with a surprised squeak as Renee’s finger pushed in. It wasn’t the act itself that surprised her, she knew it was coming, but it hurt more than she expected. There was something deeply uncomfortable about being probed without any power to object…and that made it so much better.

Renee continued to twist her fingers around inside Gwendolyn and watch her squirm for a few minutes before withdrawing her fingers. "Okay, on your feet." she ordered. "And then on your knees."

“Best day of my life for real” Gwendolyn grinned, spinning around to face Renee, dramatically making a show of thrusting her hands back on the table as she fluidly lowered to her knees. Gwendolyn’s flare for the dramatic was both out of excitement and because her sexual knowledge wholly came from porn.

Renee pulled down her uniform pants, sat on the table and waited for her manic-pixie-dream-inmate to get to work.

“Manic-pixie-dream-inmate is a bit reductive” Gwendolyn said without any clear context as to why.

Renee’s eyes widened at that. "Telepath?" she wondered aloud.

“I wish! That’s definitely the second best superpowers to have. Luck, telepathy, and reality manipulation. Those are my top three…what were we doing again?”

"You were eating me out, assuming you still want to orgasm."

“Oh yeah…ok I’m on it!” Gwen leaned in close, pressing her lips against her labia in a sort of tender kiss before she pushed tongue out and began to sloppily lick in quick passes.

Seeing Gwendolyn’s inexperience shine through, Renee rolled her eyes and grabbed Gwendolyn’s head, moving it into a position better suited to her pleasure. "Start by licking my clit" she advised. Gwen nodded from her place between Renee’s thighs.

"Okay...that's good..." Renee said, breathing heavier, and talking her through the next steps. This was going to be a long process…

Without wanting to get IKEA-erotica about Gwendolyn’s first clumsy attempt at cunnilingus, to say she needed some coaching from Renee would be an understatement. Her methods were about as messy (and not in the fun way) as one could expect. Over a long while, a lot of instructions, misinterpretations and slow improvement, Renee was able to come to a fairly weak orgasm, more from the excitement of the beautiful blonde at her feet than from her skill. "Okay, up. You're gonna have to get better at that in here."

“Sorry…” Gwendolyn apologised, blushing. She knew she would need to get a lot better before she could fulfil her dream of being dominated by Scarlett Johansson. Rising to a stand and wiping her mouth clean, she added: “I’ll definitely learn. Sooooo is it my turn now?”

"That performance didn't earn you an orgasm. Take it as an incentive to get better." Renee stood to go print her mugshot sign. The machine worked remarkably fast because Renee returned not a minute later with a sign that read:

INMATE #S3X-2015
POOLE, GWENDOLYN
LIFE

"Go stand in front of the height display."

Gwendolyn paused to marvel at her sign, looking way too thrilled to read that she had a life sentence. Suddenly she had another idea and, of course, she shot up and expressed it. “Weaver should take my mugshots! Afterwards, we could have a ménage à three!”

"...You mean trois." Renee said. "And I'm pretty sure Weaver is busy right now, though I'm sure she'll want to take her own pictures of you later. Stand in front of the display."

Gwendolyn stood in front of the height chart. “Busy? Oooooo She’s making She-Hulk jump rope, isn’t she?”

"...Seriously, how do you know all this shit?" Renee asked. Gwendolyn’s seemingly limitless knowledge of Raft secrets was becoming more and more bewildering. Bewildering enough that she couldn’t help but ponder it as she fetched a camera.

Not answering her question, Gwendolyn struck a pose. The sign was held to her stomach, the place where it would conceal the least of her body. Tilting her head to the right, she flashed an earnest cheshire smile that better resembled that of someone at their wedding than someone about to be doing life in prison. “Wait no”

She moved into a different position. Her left arm rested to the side while the right flippantly held the sign away from her body. She proceeded to switch between how she wanted to pose a few times before returning to the second idea. Renee took the first picture, quietly impressed by Gwendolyn’s commitment to presentation. "Turn to the right please”

Gwendolyn twirled to the right and threw her head back, perfectly recreating the Ken mugshot meme.

Renee couldn’t help but actually chuckle at that. "And to the left"

Gwendolyn spun to the left. “I call this one my Blue Steel” she faced her head towards the camera and pursed her lips, expressing her inner Dean Winchester.

"Part of the point here is to get a profile of your face." Renee pointed out, though she did also take a picture of 'blue steel' before insisting Gwendolyn turn her head in profile.

“Huh…I never really thought about why they do pictures from the side” Gwendolyn remarked, obeying now that she’d gotten the impromptu modelling out of her system. The final shot was taken and then Renee handed her a folded orange jumpsuit.

“This is soooo dehumanising. I love it! Even the underwear!” Gwendolyn held up the pair, turning it to show the words stamped over the back. “PROPERTY OF THE RAFT” they said, coldly, dispassionately referring both to the underwear and Gwendolyn. She felt honoured to have the cheap material on her body.

—————————————————————

No one in The Raft’s history had ever looked as chuffed at being led down a cellblock of jeering, mocking, and overall quite horny inmates as Gwendolyn did. Why shouldn’t she be happy? Afterall, she was now one step closer to sleeping her way through characters portrayed by some of the hottest actresses in Hollywood. There was an unfakeable smile on the dork’s face that she wouldn’t have been able to hide even if she wanted to.

Clinging to the bars, the women around her were ecstatic to see a new defenceless cutie they could take turns passing around the showers. First to begin the customary calls was Sin who said: "I'm gonna use your face as a cushion, bitch!" The violently bigoted redhead thought Gwen was lovely, nice and aryan, though she thought the pink tips rather ‘ruined the girl’s purity’. The first order of business upon claiming her would have been forcing her to get a haircut.

“Ok but like how is that not the most lesbian shit ever?” Gwendolyn chipperly responded, finding the obvious hypocrisy hilarious. She was ready to play a game of ‘tease the bigot’ more, but Renee shoved her along and her attention-lacking brain was pulled to the next hot criminal ready to shove a bar of soap up her butt.

"What's your name, cutie?" Silver Sable asked, not rising from the bottom bunk where she was casually petting a naked Anya Corazon. Most women didn’t take questions like that literally, but of course Gwendolyn gave her name to the silver-haired mercenary before moving on.

Gwendolyn’s eyes darted all around the cellblock, attempting to catch as many Marvel women as she could possibly register. There was Sylvie, who wordlessly assessed her body as she passed. She-Hulk was notably absent from her cell but Gwen could tell it was hers due to the presence of Vanessa Kirby and Liv Tyler, as well as the single hulk-sized cot alongside the standard bunk-bed. Actually, the bed was probably the bigger giveaway. “The cell arrangements here change every chapter but I am all for it”

She was brought to a cell whose orange-clad occupant was lying on the top bunk. Winters unlocked Gwen’s cuffs and directed her inside with a smack on the ass that made the girl blush. Tossing her things down on the bottom bunk, Gwendolyn chirped: “Hiya! I’m going to be your new cellmate!”

The cheery hello was met with a rather unpleasant groan that was louder than the door rattling shut. The source behind the groan was none other than Laura Kinney, Project X-23 herself, who had been enjoying a well-earned nap after a day of mining and standing around looking like the perfect level of don’t-fuck-with-me for Jean Grey to use as a threat. Being something to intimidate whoever Jean wanted her to was most of X-23’s incarcerated life really. When she wasn’t having nightmares about the experiments done on her, dreams were the only solace she had in this place. Dreams which were now being interrupted by a very happy looking blonde girl.
Sitting up and looking down at who she’d been made to share her space with, Laura didn’t recognise the new girl at all. But didn’t mean much when she was never that familiar with superheroes or their villains on the outside. She could have been sharing a cell with a street-tier mutant or a world-ending super-being and she would have had no immediate way to tell.

It was Gwendolyn who initiated the introduction, beginning with an overly-hyped “Oh my god I’m in a cell with Laura Kinney! This can’t be happening! I’m Gwendolyn, your new roomie! Or cellmate to match the usual vibe of this place. I’ve gotta say that I wasn’t a big fan of the first two Deadpool movies because they were like so over-the-top meta, but Deadpool and Wolverine was absolutely amazing! Totally can’t wait to see you suit up. Anyways, you’re criminally underutilised in this series but I solemnly swear on Innocence Lost Issue #1 that I am absolutely gonna change that now that I’m here” Gwen did the work of introducing herself and Laura.

Hit with a word salad of things she didn’t understand a lick of, Laura’s best efforts to remain stoic failed. Movie? Story? Suit up? "What?" she asked flatly, to Gwendolyn’s statements in general rather than any particular part of it.

Gwendolyn bit her lip, understanding that she was definitely confusing. “Let’s start again. Hi, I’m Gwendolyn”

"And you already seem to know me." Laura said, dropping down from the top bunk. Her tone was filled with threatening intent, a sort of teetering possibility of disembowelment. "How'd that happen?

Gwendolyn knew she needed to play it cool. Noting that as long as she avoided talking about movies or comics for this scene she’d be fine. “I saw your movie” is what immediately fell out of her mouth followed by her mentally lecturing herself on her complete inability to have verbal control.

"What movie?" Laura asked, increasingly annoyed that her nap had been interrupted by a cellmate refusing to talk sense.

“I meant I…” Gwendolyn couldn’t come up with a good lie, her head having gone completely empty. The harder she tried to think the less cognizant her brain seemed to be. Even worse was the pressure as Laura began to growl softly. The geeky girl remembered the last chapter Laura was in, how she threatened to cut off Rogue’s clit over a minor misunderstanding, and she really didn't want that to happen. “I saw your file! Yeah, your file!”

"And how did you get access to that?" Laura was still very unimpressed.

“A guard” Gwendolyn shrugged, trying to play it off. “Y’know how poor the security is at this…top secret supermax prison…”

Laura rolled her eyes. "Okay. You're lying, but right this second, I don't care. The coffee in this place is homoeopathic even if you don't have a healing factor, and since I do, I'm basically always sleepy. So, I'm gonna go back to bed, and you're gonna be very, very quiet. If you aren't, I'm gonna play eeny-meeny-miny-mo with your bodily extremities, cut off whatever I land on, and make you eat it. Are we clear?"

“Homoeopathic? Why does a lab experiment know larger words than I do?” Gwendolyn questioned. She really knew how to focus on what was clearly the most important detail of what was said.

Laura growled again, this time the tip of her claws pushing out her knuckles as she did. The sight of the sharp blades made Gwendolyn’s eyes go wide with sudden terror. She knew her life was never in true mortal danger by virtue of being in an erotica, but she was in as much danger as could possibly exist without this being a snuff story. And this being The Raft, there was a lot that could happen before reaching the limit of gory deaths. “Yep we’re clear! We’re clear! My lips are sealed” She mimed, throwing away the key.

Laura nodded, "Good." She climbed back up to her bunk without another word, returning to her sometimes blissful sleep. Gwendolyn was left to somehow find a way to climb on to her bed without making the incredibly rickety bunk creak.

—————————————————————

On the morning of Gwenpool's first day in prison, she and her cellmate were herded with the other women of The Raft to the cafeteria for the usual morning provision of shitty coffee, porridge, over-toasted bread and a fruit of some kind (today it was an apple). But the food didn’t matter to Gwen, it was the sexy witch serving it. “It’s-It’s mother…uh I mean it’s Wanda! Laura, look it’s Wanda! I love you so much. I will kill for you” she said with an absolutely deranged fervor.

Wanda froze, lacking the words to properly respond to the overly enthusiastic new girl. She didn’t know whether she was flattered or embarrassed. “That isn’t necessary…”

“Jean. I’ll kill Jean” Gwendolyn offered.

A look of complete fear washed over Wanda’s sullen face as her eyes darted around to see if Jean was anywhere nearby. Things had been hard enough as it was, having Jean be paranoid that Wanda was plotting to kill her would only turn a living nightmare into Hell. “Take your food and go” Wanda violently insisted, forcing a knife to raise in the air. Deep down she was still the Scarlet Witch.

“Fuck…the whole dommy mommy thing totally turns me on. In for a bit of knife-play…or is it shiv-play in prison? Wait, I guess you’re threatening me with a knife right now so it is knife-play!”

The absurdity of the situation managed to overshadow Wanda’s ability to threaten. “What is wrong with you?” she asked, exasperated.

“I don’t know” Gwendolyn shrugged.

“Ugh! Quit holding the line up, bitch” Titania chimed in from the next spot back in the line. She wasn’t excited about the shit food they were served, but she hated waiting in lines.

Speaking of the food: It wasn’t what Gwen had expected. It didn’t look terrible, but it didn't really look good either. She was disappointed, but she was smart enough to hide her disappointment when Wanda served it. Walking out of earshot, she leaned in and whispered to X-23: “…Sooo is it always like this?”

Laura gave her cellmate an absolutely dead-eyed look, having tried to lose her on the way to the cafeteria, but Gwendolyn was far too persistent to be shaken off. "Always like what?"

“Not really edible…which I’m saying to the girl who grew up in a lab. Guessing you probably don’t have a lot of frame of reference on fine dining”

"No." Laura said flatly. "But even in the lab, the coffee was better than it is in this place." She yawned, as if to emphasise the point.

“How very Ratcatcher 2 of you” Gwendolyn smiled. “Which table do you normally sit at? I read that in prison most people sit with their gang but you seem more the lone wolf type”

Laura almost asked who the fuck 'Ratchatcher 2' was, but thought better of it. She really didn’t care to try and understand the complete nonsense the obnoxious new girl was saying. Every other word seemed to be something that made absolutely zero sense. "I sit wherever's empty. I like to eat alone." She was trying to very heavily hint that Gwendolyn should fuck off.

But this was Gwendolyn she was dealing with. Of course the girl completely missed the hint. “Really? Me too! Well I did in High School anyway. It was actually less voluntary and more no one ever wanted to sit with me…” Whether she was guilting Laura into letting her sit with her or she simply was just incredibly deaf to the mutant’s very apparent wish for her to leave was unclear.

Laura wanted to tell her to fuck off...but the anecdote was so pathetic as to give her pause. With a sigh she sat down and let Gwendolyn sit at her table, gulping down her coffee in one extended swig.

Gwendolyn placed herself opposite Laura, clumsily setting down her tray as she eyed the mutant with complete marvelment. Following her new friend’s lead, she took a sip of the coffee and…nope. Giving the bitterly vile drink a glare, she pushed it away. “Uh want my coffee?”

 

Without answering, Laura grabbed it from her hand and gulped the mug down, putting it back on her tray without so much as a thank you.

“You’re so…dominant. I LOVE it!” Gwendolyn exclaimed, watching her with awe. All she received was an absolutely weary look then Laura started eating her breakfast as if she hadn't said anything. Gwen followed suit, giving her thick porridge a slow stir as she debated whether or not she’d actually eat it. There was a blissful minute of silence for Laura before Gwen opened her mouth again. “So who have you slept with since arriving here?”

Laura nearly choked on her toast. "What the fuck kind of question is that?!”

“W-What’s wrong with what I asked?” Gwen asked, nervous yet innocent. The characters in the series always seemed pretty crass.

 

"It's not usually polite breakfast conversation." Laura replied, putting it mildly.

—————————————————————

Led in rows of groups bound together by heavy shackles around their ankles, the descent down into the mines was a tiring journey in itself (not yet even counting the sheer exhaustion the inmates would endure once the work actually started). Gwendolyn hadn’t much choice in what job she got, but she’d gotten what she wanted. Sure it seemed terrible, but that was part of the whole experience. Besides, what was hotter than being chained to a bunch of sweaty, mostly half-dressed, well-toned, women hard at work under duress of punishment.

From front to back the group consisted of: Jennifer Walters (not currently turned green), Sylvie Laufeydottir, Laura Kinney, and Gwendolyn herself.

”These chains are way heavier than I expected” Gwen groaned as they were forced to shuffle along down the tunnel, stumbling with every little step she took. Stumbling, of course, into Laura.

Laura grunted and shoved her away roughly. "What the fuck were you expecting? It's a chain gang."

Gwendolym hummed slowly in thought as she tried to think of an answer. “I don’t know. Guess I just thought they’d be lighter. Right now I feel like I might as well have one of those like old timey big ball and chains or something…” shooting her head up, she peered over Laura’s shoulder and called out to Jennifer Walters: “But I bet this isn’t usually a problem for you, big green and sexy”

Jennifer looked over her shoulder at the blonde, perplexed. "Sorry, have we met?"

“We haven’t. Hi, I’m Gwendolyn. Just got here last night. I’d shake your hand but I’m not Mr. Fantastic”

"Sure. Nice to meet you, Gwendolyn, but let's make introductions later." Jennifer said, looking forward again. She had no plans to ever attempt to get to know the creepy woman.

“She wants to make introductions later!” Gwen squealed in full fangirl delight to Laura in a pitch so shrill it caused Jennifer to start turning green. A change Gwendolyn picked up on and of course had commentary for. “Smart move. Hulking out since we’ll be doing hard labour and all”

The jolly green giantess looked around even more desperately for Weaver. She had to get off this chain. Unfortunately for Jenn, Weaver was currently in her office being eaten out by Cassie Lang and wouldn’t be down for a significant portion of time. Long enough at least for Gwen to test the bounds of the lawyer’s patience.

“I’ve always kind of fantasised about you, y’know. That ripped green body of yours just totally domming me…” Somehow Gwendolyn managed to come off more predatory than some of the usual predatory lesbians who would turn her out in seconds if given a chance (not that she would mind).

Jennifer didn’t really know how to answer that...usually it would have been with a threat, but she figured Gwen might like that. So she stayed quiet and hoped the creep would take the hint. But she was dealing with Gwendolyn and that meant any attempts at subtly saying no would fall on deaf ears.

Gwen in fact only made things worse. “Maybe Titania could join us! Get a bit of hatefucking action going. I read this fanfic about you two once and I think it really did something to me” she was just about to begin describing what she’d read when each of the women on the chain were handed their pickaxes. Jennifer had never been so happy to be given the tool before, taking it and swinging at the wall hoping the sound would drown out Gwen’s nonstop voice.

Next Sylvie and Laura both took theirs with a level of resign to the dreaded job. Meanwhile Gwendolyn could barely hold hers up. Every attempt to lift it ended in her nearly dropping it again. “Can I have a lighter one?” she asked the guard.

"Oh, a lighter one?" Officer Renee asked with what she thought was unmistakable sarcasm. "Sure, I'll get right on that. Would you like a regular coffee break and complimentary massage too?"

“Really? That would be great…you’re being sarcastic aren’t you?” Gwendolyn thankfully caught on before she completely embarrassed herself.

"Yes, now get to swinging." Renee delivered a hard smack to her ass before walking off. It was the third time she’d been spanked by Renee and the act still hadn’t lost its dominant charm.

Although not prepared at all for the job, Gwen took the first swing at the rocks in front of her. It went as well as one can expect when the force behind the pickaxe was her – her pick barely chipping the stone surface as she breathed heavily. She was by no means unhealthy, but she also wasn’t exactly the most athletically inclined individual. Back home she moved a few boxes and she was ready to take a nap. At this rate she would blackout before the hour was over. “This is actually so much harder than I thought. How does Darcy do this?!”

"She knows what will happen if she performs poorly. And you should too." Sylvie said ominously. Although a thin cloud of icy mist already enveloped her (the Frost Giant equivalent of sweating if you recall), she continued breaking away at stone at a tiring yet efficient pace. It was by no means what she envisioned for her life after killing He Who (No Longer) Remains, but it wasn’t the worst she’d had it in her many centuries on the run from the TVA.

Gwendolyn dramatically gulped, thinking to herself that Sylvie was incredibly threatening…in a hot kind of way. “What…will happen?” She asked through already heavy gasps for air.

Sylvie brushed a strand of golden-blonde hair off her face. "Keep swinging like that and you'll find out."

Taking a brief pause from her own work, Laura looked to Gwen. Annoyed at her own softness, the living weapon set down her axe and used her hands to correct the new girl’s stance. Body to body she adjusted her body for her. "Like this. Puts the strain on your back, not your arms, and you've got better leverage to swing, okay?"

Gwendolyn appreciatively followed her guidance, honoured to have Laura as her very own mining-mentor. “Thank you. I honestly have no idea what I’m doing here. I would have started practicing last week if I knew I’d be here but I don’t think most people plan on what would happen if they get dragged….” she caught herself rambling and was too tired to let it pour out so she returned to the initial statement. “Thank you”

"Don't thank me" Laura said in a tone that made it sound more like a 'tell anyone I was nice to you and you'll get hurt' than a 'think nothing of it.'

“Understood, bub” Gwendolyn saluted before turning her attention back to the job at hand. Giving it another go with the new method taught to her, she felt far more confident in her swing. Back straight and with a newfound energy she went all in…and promptly fell against the wall with the movement of her pickaxe. All Laura could do was hold the bridge of her nose and sigh.

“I’m ok” Gwendolyn said through a pained grin, stumbling back and trying to get her bearings while she gave a thumbs up as if to verify that she was alive. “I think my head broke the impact” The response she got from Laura was a simple eye-roll.

10 minutes later and Gwendolyn was a panting mess. While the others made varying levels of progress on their parts of the mine, She’d yet to do more than scrape at the walls. She couldn’t even muster the strength to lift the pickaxe over her head.

"Chop chop, blondie. At this rate, you ain't gonna meet your quota..." Renee chuckled. Her patrol route brought her back to this group and she couldn’t resist checking in on Gwen specifically.

“What’s my quota?” Gwendoly weakly asked, knowing full well she’d never reach it.

“20 kilograms per inmate per day." Renee said with a smirk. "I'd say at this rate, you'll be lucky to make one kilogram."

Gwendolyn made a long and miserable groan. The job wasn’t fun in a kinky way at all. In fact it actually really sucked. “Is there maybe a different way I could earn my keep around here?”

"There's a way…" Renee said, smirking as she looked the blonde up and down.

Without taking a single second to think over the decision, Gwendolyn gave Renee an audible sigh of relief. “Phew, I seriously thought I was going to black out for a minute there. Carrying that pickaxe is like trying to lift Mjölnir! I think it goes without saying that I’m so in!” Rarely did Renee get such an enthusiastic response. Unlocked from the chain, Gwendolyn was escorted away. But not before bidding farewell-for-now to her group with an overly friendly: “Bye, bitches!”

—————————————————————

“…and that is why Age of Ultron is actually kind of iconic” Gwen finished explaining her reasoning behind liking a movie that didn’t even exist in this universe. It was an in-depth enough analysis that it lasted the entire long walk from the mines to Winters’ office. The fangirl was aware Renee wouldn’t understand, but the events of the film presumably actually happened in this universe so it wouldn’t be complete nonsense. Plus she just kind of just missed discussing the MCU with people.

"...You realise that wasn't a movie right? That stuff actually happened." Renee uncuffed Gwen in the office. "I've heard of people thinking movies are real, but never the reverse..."

“Yeah but…oh…You probably think I’m totally out of my mind, don’t you?” Gwendolyn started undressing without being told, enthusiasm hopefully overshadowing her limited strip-tease skills.

"Yes." Renee said frankly. "But you're hot, so that does a lot to make up for it.”

“Cool! I pass the crazy/hot chart!” Gwendolyn proclaimed proudly as she turned her back and let her jumpsuit fall to the floor. Bending over, she shimmied her underwear down her dynamite legs before once again spinning around to face her dominant, slightly-rapey, most-definitely-predatory guard. “Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot” she smiled, right hand on her hip and left running down her bare body.

Renee gave a weird look at the seemingly random line, and leaned against her desk, gracelessly pulling her pants and panties down to her knees. "I hope you've improved, given practice with your cellmate."

One very coached and messy round of oral later, and Gwendolyn was off work for the rest of the day. But she would have to wait in her cell until everyone else got off (work))…and it was a long, boring few hours of waiting that she passed by rummaging through Laura’s few belongings. It turned out prison life could actually be really uneventful at times…but she had a way of making up for it. It was around 3 when everyone got back from the mines and she immediately darted out of her cell with a plan in mind. “Alright, readers, here we go! If this was in live-action it would be time to needledrop ‘Like a Virgin’ right now because this is about to be a kinky AF. Cue the montage!”

—————————————————————

Cassie Lang and Amy Bendix sat on a bench in the yard catching up on their vastly different experiences with incarceration. It had been awhile since they’d hung out, Amy being busy doing things for the Stepford Cuckoos and Cassie spending most of her days being Maya Lopez’ favourite toy.

“This fucking sucks” Amy pouted, arms crossed in not-so-subtle annoyance.

“Yeah…” Cassie nervously looked around to make sure her prison mommy was nowhere nearby. She was terrified of ending up on her bad side. “...Maya shoved her prosthetic leg up my butt yesterday”

Amy found that worrying…but not for the reason most would. “Why do you gotta rub it in? It’s taking way too long for that shit to happen to me!” she practically was salivating at the idea.

Cassie shifted with discomfort, constantly put at unease with her friend’s overt horniness but not wanting to push away the only person who didn’t try to sexually assault her. “Oh…uh…I’m sorry?” she didn’t really know what else to say. Thankfully the conversation would be abruptly interrupted. Less thankfully, the person interrupting was Gwendolyn.

Sauntering over with completely unearned confidence, Gwen frantically waved at the protagonists of Caged Lang. “Hi, I’m Gwen! Wanna have a threesome?” She slipped right past the foreplay.

“Yes!” Amy immediately exclaimed, practically jumping out of her seat before remembering that the Cuckoos had told her she was forbidden from sleeping with anyone if she wanted that job interview with Emma Frost. “I-I mean no” she fell back on the bench with a sigh.

Gwendolyn’s smile didn’t falter. “Alright…fine. You’re only gonna miss out on the most amazing experience ever! But not gonna lie, I would probably skip me too if it meant I got to be The White Queen’s bitch” She understood, but the sting of being turned down was definitely there, “What about you, Lisa Frankenstein?”

Cassie looked around in confusion at who that could be, expecting there to be some terrifying monster nearby that she totally missed. When she could find no one around, she realised Gwen must have meant her and instantly registered it as a jab at her appearance. Did she look pale or scary because of her prison time or something? “Me?” she asked, wide-eyed.

“Mhm that’s right, baby” even Gwendolyn felt awkward about that one but she really wanted to sound dominant and cool.

Cassie blushed, breaking eye-contact. “Oh…I…um…I don’t think Maya would be ok with that. S-She’s very protective”

“Who says Maya has to know? I bet she’s not even in this story!” Gwendolyn pressed…just before feeling someone walking up behind her. “...She’s right behind me isn’t she?” She pulled a cliche, slowly turning around to see a very upset looking Maya cracking her knuckles.

Jessica Jones finished up a round of weightlifting in the yard, and took a knee, exhausted. Say what you want about prison, but it was a hell of a place to work on muscle definition.

“Lifting weights? You really are a functional alcoholic” Gwendolyn quipped, seemingly coming out of nowhere just to sit beside her. Her nose was bleeding but she didn't act like she just got punched in the face by one of Vanessa Fisk’s top enforcers.

Jessica squinted at the newcomer, perplexed by her extremely weird introduction. "How the fuck do you know about that?" she asked, pointedly, in a direct and hostile tone not at all matching Gwen’s bubbly and conversational one.

“Well…you just have that vibe?” the fangirl managed to find a worse answer than simply saying she’d seen her show.

Jessica stood up, and cracked her neck from side to side, in a way that was supposed to convey 'fuck off or you're going to get hurt.'

Gwendolyn chuckled nervously. “Don’t worry, I’ve come to bargain. I’ll get you booze…if you sleep with me”

Jessica grabbed her with both fists by her hair and pulled her down, driving her knee into Gwendolyn’s stomach, letting her collapse winded to the floor. Jessica then simply walked away, not looking back at her.

Kate Bishop didn’t understand how Yelena’s cell was this cluttered. It wasn’t dirty, and there wasn’t even that much stuff, but there was absolutely 0 organisation. For example: Her toothbrush was on a chair but her underwear on the sink. The erratic disorganisation of their tiny cell was a far cry from Kate’s NYC apartment. Not really wanting to leave their cell without her scary Russian assassin friend around to protect her, the archer was bored enough to start straightening up. First just putting the packs of cigarettes into a single pile, then folding her blankets. The aforementioned underwear she took and threw on her bed, making a brief game of getting it to hit an imaginary bullseye on the wall.

"Hey!" Gwendolyn said with her usual lack of tact from the open cell door, again seeming to appear from nowhere. She’d managed to stem the nosebleed, but was now standing awkwardly as her stomach still hurt. It was definitely going to bruise.

“Hi. Who are you?” Kate asked, perplexed and startled by the newcomer. She noted that the cheery blonde girl looked pretty harmless at least.

"I'm Gwen!" she said cheerfully, entering the cell without invitation. "No need to introduce yourself, I know you already. I loved you in the main Raft series, and Hawkeye, and Spiderverse, actually..." It occurred to her that Gwen Stacy was also in this universe, and she couldn’t help but wonder whether she sounded like Hailee Steinfeld or looked like Emma Stone, or both?

Kate didn’t understand most of what she just said but smiled out of politeness. “You know who I am?” She sounded almost as enthusiastic as Gwen. The archer finally had her first fan! Who would have thought her superhero career would start to take off in prison.

"Yes!" At her first enthusiastic response, Gwen got a little too enthusiastic herself. "So, wanna fuck?!"

Kate’s rising enthusiasm collapsed to a complete stop, her smile sort of pausing somewhere on the way to a frown. It took her a minute to fully register what Gwendolyn just said. “You want to…you want to sleep with me?” she asked slowly, just making sure she heard her correctly.

"Yeah!" Gwen was grinning and wide eyed in an unintentionally flawless Laina Morris impression.

Kate started to stutter for a response but Yelena arrived in time to handle things. Having heard enough, Yelena grabbed the blonde from behind, and threw her roughly to the bottom bunk. Hurriedly, Yelena stripped out of her jumpsuit.

“Wow…” Gwen said breathily as she looked up at the Black Widow assassin. She’d always wanted it rough. Or just wanted it at all really. “I totally thought you would turn me down so you weren’t even on my list. Funny how this turned out”

“What’s happening?” Kate asked aloud, confused by the absurdity of the last minute.

"Our guest needs a lesson in manners." Yelena said to Kate.

“That is one PAWG booty” is the last thing Gwen uttered before Yelena leaped onto her, planting her ass firmly on her mouth.

"Get licking if you want to get up." Yelena commanded but Gwen didn’t need to be told before she started acting. She completely missed that this was meant to be a punishment.

—————————————————————

Cassandra Webb was on her way back towards the cellblock, wearing her orange web-dress (It was weird how used to constant practical nudity she’d become in here. Not bad, but weird). She was smiling, in high spirits after a pleasant photoshoot with Weaver.

Fear not because Gwen was here to crush those high spirits. “Cute dress!” she called, running down the cellblock towards her. “I know a few moves that could make you blush fifty shades of pink” she flirted, out of breath by the time she finally reached her.

"Huh?!" Cassandra responded, alarmed at this strange blonde running at her and grinning. "Fifty wha-" Before she could finish the question she had a vision. It felt different from her other ones, like she wasn’t seeing the future, or a possible future, but something else entirely. She could see herself (or someone who looked a lot like her) on a cinema screen...interacting with an intense looking hot guy in a suit...staring at him...talking over a contract...getting tied up naked and spanked…
Coming back to her world, Cassandra exclaimed: “...What the fuck was that?”

“Yeah you and me both sister. I don’t know what that was…” Gwen sounded equally surprised, only aware of what Cassandra saw because the prose above this paragraph said it. “Buuuut now that you know about that, I think I can do that to you” She had no experience with bondage but she figured she could probably improvise.

They were close enough to Elektra’s cell that she heard this exchange. The only rational response was grabbing Gwen by the hair from behind, and dragging her in. "Faiza, hand me a bar of soap." She was referring to Dr. Faiza Hussain (previously seen in Visiting Hours), now inexplicably an inmate. The good doctor hesitated but knew to give in to her mommy’s demands.

“Ow ow. Wait I think I’m supposed to drop that and then we do this” Gwen wisecracked through the pain of her hair being pulled by the root. Effortlessly Elektra stripped her out of her jumpsuit, not bothering to disabuse her of her idea of what was happening. For what it was worth, Gwen was not bothered by being stripped naked (that’s something she wanted). What bothered her was the glaring plot inconsistency in Faiza’s presence. “Ok I know this is porn so I can’t expect full commitment to canon, but why are you here? I thought you were the head doctor?”

Faiza looked at her, perplexed. "Wha...Do I know you?" She asked. Considering Gwen was a new prisoner, Faiza was surprised she knew the position she used to hold.

“That chapter came out a few months ago! Are you telling me that you’re- AHHHH!“ Gwendolyn’s building rant was cut short as Elektra spun her around, bent her over, and unceremoniously shoved the unlubed bar of soap up her ass.

—————————————————————

Anya Corazon stepped into Silver Sable’s cell with a sense of complete euphoria. She’d just come back from Shuri and Riri’s cell and words couldn’t possibly begin to describe how free she felt (ironic considering where she was). Getting spanked while eating out a princess was not what she’d expected from prison. Upon entry, she found Sable still away, and Gwendolyn present and waving with a giddy smile. "Hi!" the geek said. "You must be Anya, right? Loved your parts of Incompetent Heroines, your lesbian awakening was really cute and hot!"

“Who are you? You’re not here to kill me are you? Sable is away right now but I’ll tell you anything you want to know” Anya panicked at the crazy person in her cell, meaning she didn't really register what Gwendolyn had said.

"Huh? No, I don't wanna kill you, I wanna have sex." Gwendolyn said, still grinning but slowing down a beat.

“Oh” Anya exhaled in relief. “Ok sure”

Gwendolyn’s eyes widened. "Really?" she asked, then, realising how that sounded, corrected herself. "Great! Uh...So shall we start with a kiss?'

“I’m kind of new to kissing other women…but yeah I would like that” Anya felt very self-conscious about the fact that she was new to the gay scene and this woman was presumably experienced. She of course presumed incorrectly, but she didn’t know that. Without hesitation, Gwendolyn stepped forward, leaned in and kissed her, her hands going to her thighs, then her ass, letting Anya’s tongue into her mouth. The makeout session then escalated as Anya began undoing her jumpsuit. Although she was wholeheartedly into it, the moment was brought to a screeching halt when Silver Sable returned.

Freshly returned from the gym, Sable was as imposing as ever as she stared daggers at both of them, settling on Gwen. "Who the fuck are you?"

“I’m Gwen. Want to join us?” She completely lacked the self-preservation skills to navigate this situation well and Sable wasn’t forgiving. In a flash Gwen was bent over the toilet, her jumpsuit around her knees, with Sable shoving a broken-off chairleg up her ass.

—————————————————————

It wasn’t until Gwendolyn reached the bathrooms adjoining the yard that she worked up the courage to painfully remove the chairleg, squirming with every slight movement it made on the way out. It was like ripping off a bandaid but 1000x times worse.

Mattie Franklin exited a cubicle and went to wash her hands moments before Gwen got it done. She washed her hands and face, blissfully unaware of what was to happen. Looking up from the sink, she saw Gwendolyn standing uncomfortably close behind her in the mirror, a pained yet still unnerving smile painted on the fangirl’s face. “How about we show that cubicle who’s boss, Itapo?”

"Huh?!" Mattie asked with some alarm. "Uh, sorry...who are you? And where did you hear that nickname?'

“Gwen. And I heard it on Tik Tok” She knew for a fact that it was a lie that actually made sense in this universe. “You’re famous”

Mattie sighed. "Of course." she said, annoyed. "So...what was that about the cubicle?"

“Oh you know…just was thinking we could fuck like the two desperate incarcerated women we are” Gwendolyn replied crassly.

"Uh...You're...Very direct." Mattie remarked, looking her up and down. "That ain't a no, but I'm not sure I can without my Mommy's permission..."

“I’ll be right back!” Gwendolyn beamed, running out into the yard again and finding Vanessa. Walking up to the mob wife, she proposed: “Hiya! Can I screw Mattie Franklin?”

Mattie had tried to stop Gwendolyn but she was too late. Vanessa was already halfway deep with a guard’s stolen baton up Gwendolyn’s very sore butt.

—————————————————————

Julia failed to hide her visible disgust as she lapped away at Olivia Octavius’ pussy. Olivia was the fifth person today she’d been forced into having sex with and the poor incarcerated straight girl just wanted it to stop.

"Hey!" Gwendolyn said, appearing seemingly out of nowhere like a ninja with no social skills. "DeeDee, right? I mean, that's kinda rhetorical, I'd recognise Sydney Sweeney anywhere. Your rack is just as magnificent in person!" She was so excited that she didn’t even really notice that Julia’s mouth was otherwise preoccupied at the moment.

“Y-Yes…that’s me” Julia answered between unskilled licks at her prison mommy’s clit. She was really tired of how much attention her breasts had gotten her in prison. As much as she hated it, she was so used to the attention that she didn’t bother seeing who this new person was. Scary lesbians were always coming up and wanting to touch them; what was different about it this time? Her DD melons were seemingly irresistible to the horny women that constantly surrounded her.

Gwendolyn’s interest was no different. "So, uh...Not to be too forward or anything, but...can I rub my face on them?!"

Julia closed her eyes as she tried to suppress her horror at what her life had come to. “O-Ok…I guess” she managed to force herself to say out of fear of what could happen if she said no. With an ear-to-ear smile on Gwen’s face, she bended over and buried her face in Julia's enormous, firm tits, shaking her face between them. It was all the horny dork had hoped for and more.

Olivia allowed this semi-amusing spectacle to go on for a minute before tapping the interloper on the shoulder with a tentacle. Mere seconds later, Gwen was naked, her hands held firmly together by one of Olivia’s tentacles, her legs held wide apart by two more tentacles, while the fourth tentacle penetrated her arse. Gwendolyn couldn’t move, couldn’t resist, and was completely helpless to the whims of a mad scientist — aka the dream. It was just like the extensive amount of Olivia Octavius tentacle porn she’d read…but painful. Really fucking painful. “Ok enough! AHH! Stop!”

"What have you learned about using my bitch without paying?" Olivia asked with sadism in her tone.

“N-Not to rub my face on her big titties?”

That answer was met with Olivia pressing her tentacle in further, about as far as she thought Gwendolyn could handle without literally causing her to pass out from the pain.

—————————————————————

Kitty Pryde nestled close and smiled awkwardly at Rogue. “You, me, pretty sure Illyana is out tormenting someone else for once. Maybe we could like…y’know…o-or you can just glare uncomfortably-” she watched Rogue’s flat expression very closely, trying her best to read the goth mutant’s mood.

She didn’t have to attempt to read Rogue’s reaction for long though because the goth gave an excitedly cold command in her Southern accent that made Kitty beam even wider. “On your back. We have ten minutes-” The screams of Dani and Rahne echoed from down the cellblock. “-make that twenty.” They so very rarely got a moment just to themselves

Now was not that moment as Gwen approached the cell, walking awkwardly after her succession of anal insertions, and stopped at the door as she saw what they were doing. "Wow..." she said, unintentionally loud enough to be heard. She was in awe of the hot sight before her.

On top of Kitty and having just peeled open her jumpsuit, Rogue sighed as they were once again interrupted. “Every time…” It took a considerable amount of effort to pry her eyes away from her girlfriend to look at who the intruder was.

Meanwhile, Kitty froze in a sudden panic, feeling incredibly self-conscious. “Um…like who are you?” she nervously asked.

"Hi! I'm Gwen. No need to introduce yourself, I know all about you. I see you look like your X-Men Evolution versions. I used to love that cartoon! Seriously, Wanda in that was one of my several lesbian awakenings. Probably smart not to model you on your live action selves, given the whole trans actor thing. Anyway, wanna make this a threesome?!" she bound into the cell with the self awareness and pattern recognition of a lemming with a severe head injury. Although she didn’t say it outright, Gwen was half-hoping Kitty to be transmasc. It would have contradicted the Kitty established in this series so far, but nonetheless Gwen thought it could have added a very interesting element.

“…Trans actor?” Kitty asked, not understanding what Gwen was saying exactly but inferring just enough to wonder if she meant her or Rogue.

Rogue though didn’t care what was being said. She just wanted to sleep with her girlfriend and Gwen was interrupting that. She got up and looked at Gwen with a scornful glare but she didn't yet approach. “Sure we can have a threesome…if you wanna feel like you’re being flayed alive”

Gwendolyn hesitated at the threat. She’d seen enough X-Men media to know that she wasn’t bluffing, and getting touched by Rogue wasn’t something she wanted. "Uh...no, I kinda don't want that. It's okay, though, you can watch me and Kitty! That'll be its own kind of hot."

Rogue was not about to be cucked…again. Personally, she was ready to remove Gwen by force, but simply crossed her arms and let Kitty give her one last chance to leave.

“Woah I didn’t like agree to anything…can you y’know…get out?” Kitty tried to turn her down gently but she was more than a little caught off guard by her presence.

"Huh...Oh, yeah, sorry, I moved a little too fast there, didn't I. Could we...uh...start over?"

Against her better judgment, Kitty nodded. “Yeah…I guess”

"I...uh...you don't know me, but I know a lot about you. It's kinda my super-power. I spent...I mean...It feels like I've spent my whole life watching you through a screen. I think you're really pretty, and cool, and pretty, and powerful and pretty...and I'd...quite like to have wild lesbian prison sex with you...if you'd like to with me..." Gwendolyn sounded the most sincere she had in here.

“I um like appreciate your enthusiasm, y’know …but we’re really like exclusive”

Rogue paused. “Wait, what do you mean you’ve been watchin’ us through a screen?”

"Well...like I said, it's kind of my superpower. I know everything about everyone in here!" Gwen said cheerfully, oblivious to how sinister that sounded.

“What else do you know about us?” Rogue questioned with attempted intimidation in her tone.

"Uh...well, I know your dad walked out when you were a kid, that you were raised by Mystique, that you discovered your powers when you accidentally KO'd a guy at your high school dance..." Gwendolyn stated all of this matter-of-factly, it not occurring to her that any of this might be secret to Kitty.

Rogue’s usual stereotypically monotone demeanour faltered as the details Gwen shared about her were ones she hadn't told anyone. There was a reason she never talked about the dance…or her childhood. Fuming, hurt, humiliated, she regretlessly tapped Gwendolyn on the cheek. The fangirl barely even got out a stifled yelp before collapsing to the floor, unconscious from the pain.

—————————————————————

“Alright, montage over! I’m done. That probably went on way too long for that song” Gwendolyn angrily yelled as she made pained stumbles towards her cell. Bruised, aching, possibly bleeding, and exhausted, she didn’t feel anywhere near as upbeat about her situation as when this all started.

As seems to be usual, Laura was asleep on her bunk when Gwen arrived, and barely did more that lift her head to acknowledge her cellmate. "Wow. You look like shit." Laura remarked before closing her eyes and putting her head back on the pillow.

“Tell me something I don’t know.” Gwendolyn groaned as she collapsed onto the bottom bunk with a thud, laying down on her stomach because it hurt too much to have her butt touching any surface. “Why is is so hard to find someone willing to have sex with me? I’m a hot blonde in prison, aka prime bitch material, it shouldn’t be this hard! I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong…” Believe it or not, she was honestly beginning to get choked up about the series of painful rejections.

"Well...how'd you try to do it?" Laura asked, a little hesitant. Playing therapist was way outside her skillset.

Gwen sighed, aggressively fumbling with her pillow in a futile effort to get comfortable. “I did what you’re supposed to do. I approached them and asked if they wanted to sleep with me”

"That's not...I don't know if that works outside, but it doesn't work in here."

Gwendolyn looked up at Laura, dumbfounded. “What do you mean it doesn’t work? That’s like exactly what I read…I mean most of them were more doms coming on to subs, but I feel like it should work both ways”

“Read?" Laura asked, but brushed it aside. "Yeah...that's a very one-way deal. Especially if you were hitting on claimed bitches."

“So what you’re saying is that I need to go after their prison mommies?”

"Uh...no, that's somehow an even worse idea, unless you just wanna give yourself to one."

Gwen lost focus at what Laura was saying as she mentally shifted back to her despair at her predicament, X-23’s words complete background noise. “When I came to this universe I thought it was going to be better than my old life…”

"In a maximum security prison?" Laura asked, finally sitting up upon the realisation that she wasn’t going to get any sleep.

“Yeah” Gwen tearfully nodded, not seeing the absurdity in how this place could be better. “I don’t have any friends, or a job, I never even finished high school…I’m a total failure. But that was supposed to change in here. I mean…yeah I know I’m in prison…but it’s not a real one. This is supposed to be about escapism”

Again, Laura ignored the 'not a real one' remark (she realised living with Gwen may involve a lot of ignoring her off-handed delusional comments), and focused on the substance of what she said. "I...Look, I get it. Most of my life has been lonely too. If it's any consolation, I didn't graduate high school either. Or any school, really..."

“But you seem to be doing a lot better than I am” Gwendolyn stated sadly, still missing the irony.

"In here, maybe. Outside, I lived the first seventeen years of my life in a lab where they were trying to turn me into a marketable corporate puppet with superpowers." Despite her situation being demonstrably worse than Gwen's, she resisted the urge to call attention to that.

Alternatively, to Gwen their lives were about the same level of terrible. “You get to be a superhero though. I mean that’s like the dream” she said as she left her bed and sat beside Laura on the top bunk.

"Fuck being a superhero. I never caught any muggers or saved any kittens from trees, I was just grown in a test-tube to have super powers, and by the time I broke free they’d decided having powers were illegal."

“Huh, I never really thought about how much of a bummer the Accords are…I’m sorry you went through that” Gwen said with rare sensitivity.

"Yeah. Thanks." Laura said. Sympathy from anyone was rare in The Raft, so she appreciated it where she could get it. "Sorry about...whatever landed you here."

“I robbed an aquarium”

Laura didn’t even know how to parse that. "Well...sorry about your life. And about striking out so far."

“Thank you…” Gwen’s heart beat faster as they sat side by side, feeling dizzy in the head as she stared deeply into Laura’s dark brown eyes. Was this the cue? She felt like it was and so she leaned in to kiss her. Laura, surprised, didn’t kiss her back exactly, but didn't pull away either. Beginning to amateurishly be madeout with, she then felt Gwen slide her right hand up her thigh.

That was when Laura put her hand on hers to stop her. "No" she said firmly. Oddly enough it was enough to make Gwen stop, but she still pulled back in a pout. “Stop pouting. Look just...tell me what I can do for you. Other than making out."

Gwendolyn thought about it carefully for a moment, weighing out her options on how Laura could help. “Well I guess there is a lot we could do without making out…” she suggested without knowing how creepy it sounded.

"Not that either." Laura clarified. She did genuinely sympathise with the fangirl, but she didn’t make it easy.

“Prude” Gwen said with a roll of her eyes and a sigh. “Well I guess if you’re just totally against fucking each other for whatever reason…we could team up! Help me find someone or, even better, multiple people”

"...Who do you have in mind?"

“I’m glad you asked” Gwen said, perking up once more. “Well I’ve been making a list and checking it twice: Sylvie, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow. Those are the hottest women in the Marvel Universe. Also they’re mostly all prison mommies just like you suggested”

"I didn't suggest that." Laura pointed out, but Gwen was already continuing with the plan obliviously.

“Whatever. This is gonna be awesome!” Gwendolyn beamed, back to her usual peppy self. She was already imagining all the kinky shit they’d want to do to her.

—————————————————————

The next morning arrived and Gwen was feeling a lot better, her mood only improving further when she was told that today was her first shower. Entering the crowded room of soaped up heroes and villains, the fangirl’s response was like that of a kid in a candy store. She couldn’t begin to try and focus on any specific person, her eyes drawn in every direction. From the sight of Felicia Hardy being washed by her harem of Spidey’s other girlfriends, to Natasha playing with a miserable Pepper Potts, Gwen felt completely overwhelmed. Taking in the sights, she couldn’t help but think that this all was singularly the hottest thing she’d ever seen. But all of them could wait because she had a certain Goddess of Mischief on her mind and Gwen wouldn’t leave until she got what she wanted.

It took several close-calls of her nearly wandering off to pester the nearest hot character in her vicinity (and they were all hot), almost slipping on the wet tiles because she was walking too fast, and “accidentally” bumping her hand on Dazzler’s ass, but she managed to pull herself together to find who she was looking for. At last, through a parting of naked bodies she was able to catch a glimpse of Sylvie in the back and so Gwendolyn began her pursuit…and then she was stopped as Agatha Harkness gracefully stepped in front of the newcomer, putting her hands on Gwen’s stomach to arrest her movement and feel her up at the same time. And clinging to Agatha was Rio, who stared Gwen up and down with a clear knowing smirk on her face

"Haven't seen you in here before..." the purple witch remarked, her eyes hungry. Rio found the statement funny, knowing her ex was right in more ways than one. Gwen obviously hadn’t been in this universe long, much less this prison.

Seeing Kathryn Hahn, Gwendolyn completely forgot what she was supposed to be doing. “Agatha and Rio! Finally, some canon lesbian rep in the MCU! You’re like my favourites. I just rewatched your show last week! You’re on my Spotify Wrapped!”

It took a lot to take Agatha aback, but that managed it. "My...show?" She asked. This was twice she encountered a younger fan who knew a weird amount about her.

Gwen nodded enthusiastically while Rio leaned in close to Agatha’s ear, playfully biting her earlobe, and then whispered: “looks like you have a fan,” knowing context Agatha didn’t but gladly not sharing it.

Agatha resolved to ignore both the strange statement and her ex. "Whatever. Whose bitch are you? I want to rent you for shower time..."

“I’m not anyone’s bitch yet” Gwendolyn answered, not breaking her smile. “Wanna get some coven gangbang action going? Covenbang? That feels like the right word. We’ll need Jennifer and Lilia though. Patti LuPone is a total gilf by the way and people can’t convince me otherwise. What was I saying? Oh yeah, I’d offer to go down on your witch’s road…but looks like you’re still locked up in lockup. Super sucky combo if you ask me” For added effect: the fangirl tapped Agatha’s chastity belt as if the witch somehow didn’t already know it was there.

In immediate objection to Gwen reminding her of that, Agatha smacked her across the face. She was prepared to bring a second smack when her hand was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist.

“Pretty sure she’s protected” Rio intentionally remarked too late for it to be anything more than stating the obvious, stepping back and watching with amusement as Agatha was confronted by X-23.

“Thanks” Agatha said sarcastically while pulling her hand out of Laura’s grip and turning back to the blonde. "I thought you said you weren't anyone's bitch?"

“I’m not!” Gwendolyn insisted, looking at Laura with annoyance. “She’s just my cellmate”

"A cellmate who protects you from others?" Agatha asked incredulously. "You know there are words for that kind of relationship, right?"

Gwen scoffed, proceeding to overshare: “Yeah I know…but we’re definitely not that! She doesn’t even let me fuck her and believe me I tried”

Laura aggressively scowled at the witch, like a wolf scaring off anyone bold enough to try and eat its freshly killed deer. "She's right, we ain't that. But she's still mine”

"Fine. I want to rent her. How much?" Agatha wasn’t in a bargaining mood. Tapping her chastity belt in hopes it would somehow be gone (it wasn’t), she faced a debilitating yearning for some sort of action. She just needed something. So while she may not have been able to get off, she certainly could have some fun with Gwendolyn.

Laura thought about it. "How many cigarettes do you have?"

"Like...two packs?" Agatha replied. But Rio called her bluff when she chimed:

“Oh really? Because I found five under your bed last night” casually washing her hair as she watched everything unfold.

 

Despite Gwen’s frantic nods of approval for this deal, Laura wasn’t having it. "However many you have, she's one more cig." she said, firmly confrontationally. "She not for sale."

Gwen crossed her arms, muttering “you’re not my mistress” under her breath like a petulant teenager.

Agatha eyed up the Wish.com-Wolverine and weighed up a few things: the pleasure of using the blonde vs the frustration of doing so belted, and the difficulty of fighting X-23 vs Rio's mockery if she backed down...In the end, Agatha sighed and stepped aside, leaving blondie alone. Cue Rio’s mockery: “You let her intimidate you? Guess having that belt on is really making you lose your touch”

Abandoned by the witches, Gwendolyn let out a loud and miserable groan in frustration. “Why did you do that?” she whined to her cellmate.

"Not wanting to see you made a blood sacrifice." Laura explained curtly. A thank you would have been nice. This was why she didn’t help people. "Now go try your luck with Sylvie. Worst that will happen there is something painful up your ass."

 

Gwen hadn’t thought of what ritual Agatha might end up using her for after they’d had their fun. Feeling a bit bad for whining, she said: “Oh…yeah good point. Thanks…But that does give me an idea. I’m going to try and seduce Sylvie, but if things go wrong you can swoop in and say I’m already yours like you did to Agatha, ok?”

Laura was hesitant to answer that. She helped before because she didn't want her basically harmless cellmate to die and maybe be replaced by someone dangerous that she’d have to deal with. She never signed up to protect Gwen from more basic pain and humiliation though.

Getting no response, Gwen went ahead as if she had gotten one. “It shouldn’t even come to that though because this time my plan is completely flawless. Just watch and touch yourself if you want” she said to Laura and then once more set off for her target with a bar of soap carefully held in her hands. No distractions this time.

Sylvie luxuriated under the lukewarm water as her thralls (Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis) washed her body. Although it took all the self-control Gwendolyn had, she actually didn't say anything to Sylvie as she stepped underneath the showerhead beside her. Gwen got her role straight. She was just a clumsy, nervous, new girl experiencing her first shower in prison. Wiping a smile off her face and avoiding eye-contact, she tried to look scared as she shakily ran the bar of soap along her arms.

While Jane did briefly look over without saying anything, Sylvie seemed to take no notice at all of Gwen. That just wouldn’t do. So, in an attempt to get Sylvie to look in her direction, Gwen let out a soft, completely unrealistic, moan as she drifted the bar of soap downwards until she was lathering between her thighs. It was what she’d learned from careful analysis of prison shower porn (the best and most realistic source of prison knowledge). It was cheesy, but Sylvie did glance at her, the moan getting the goddess’ attention. She didn’t say anything, yet, but Gwen had her attention.

On to step 2. Taking in a deep breath, Gwendolyn let the soap drop from her hands and then gasped as if surprised. “Oh no…” she poorly expressed her fake-concern thinking it sounded completely legit. Bending forward with her butt pushed out to accentuate what little there was, she reached down and strained to pick up the bar. Sylvie watched this play out, perplexed, though Gwen mistook her inscrutable expression for one of interest. When there was no predicted response, Gwen picked up the soap and then feigned dropping it again.

Jane turned to Darcy and asked: "Have you ever seen anybody actually drop the soap? I thought that was just a euphemism."

“One time. And I’m pretty sure someone made her drop it”

Sylvie had had enough. "I can tell you're doing that on purpose” she addressed Gwendolyn directly.

Gwendolyn gasped, pretending to be insulted by the accusation. “Me? What no I just am having a really hard time holding it. It’s just so slippery…”

"You're also a bad liar, and I'm a good judge of that. Gwen, right?" Sylvie asked, remembering the girl from the mines yesterday.

“Yeah” Gwen nodded, struggling to look her in the eyes and not anywhere below.

Sylvie managed to convey herself with a level of royalty despite being completely undressed and soaped up. "And I take it that the whole pantomime of dropping the soap was an effort to get my attention? Well, you have it. Kneel.

Gwen beamed. “Total swoon. That is such a you way to command me” It goes without saying that she got on her knees without so much as a word of resistance. Sylvie merely turned around, letting her implied command to her slaves to continue washing her and the new girl to eat her arse go unsaid. Resuming washing Sylvie’s breasts, Darcy couldn’t tell whether she should look at her mistress or Gwendolyn literally kissing the goddess’ rear. She didn’t want to watch, but it was really distracting. Meanwhile Gwen had absolutely no idea what she was doing but just went with it, licking Sylvie’s butt to her horny heart’s delight in increasingly sporadic passes.

After about a minute of this, Sylvie rolled her eyes and pushed Gwen away. "If you are so eager for my attention, get better at this. Now get out of my sight." She turned back around, spread her legs, and pushed Darcy down by her shoulders until the girl was face first with her bush.

Gwen couldn’t hide her jealousy at the sight. “Wait, no I can do better. Give me a second chance” she pleaded, still on her knees. But when Sylvie fastidiously ignored her, Gwen resolved to do something drastic. She’d made a lot of dumb decisions, but this next one was up there as one of her dumbest. Bitter, horny, and madly envious, she stood up and shoved Darcy away from Sylvie. “You will claim me” the fangirl said in a completely unhinged tone.

With a look and gesture of utter contempt, Sylvie smacked her across the cheek hard enough to leave a bright red handprint. Tears welled up in poor Gwendolyn’s eyes, the hit having landed where Agatha previously had done the same. “Ow…is that foreplay?” She knew it wasn’t but couldn’t help but hope.

Sylvie didn’t even deign to answer her. "Brunnhilde, if this interloper approaches me again, break a few of her bones." she called to Valkyrie a couple showerheads over.

“I think I should probably be going…but this was fun” the threat made Gwen get away as fast as possible, slipping on the wet tiles and nearly falling face-first against the ground.

"Smooth." Laura said sarcastically as she passed. "Who's next?"

“You’re Jean’s enforcer. Think you could convince her to let me use Wanda?” Gwen asked, choosing to move on to the next person on her list rather than stew in her embarrassment at Sylvie’s rejection.

Laura calmly stepped under a stream of water, gracious of the wash. "Not how that relationship works, Gwen. You’ll have to offer Jean something she wants before she'll let you use her favourite toy.”

Shamelessly staring at Laura’s tits, Gwen asked: “Well what does she want?”

Snikt! Laura’s claws sliding out of her knuckles brought Gwen’s eyes back up to the irritable lab experiment’s face. “Look up here” she said aggressively, making sure Gwen was doing so, before answering the question. “I don't think anybody knows that except Jean. If she knows it."

“Hm alright well I’ll improvise!”

—————————————————————

3:28 PM. Having just finished her shift, Wanda Maximoff sat cross legged on the couch in the rec room entranced, spellbound, in an episode of Bewitched playing on the shitty tv, much to the annoyance of everyone else who would have liked to watch something else. The witch had probably seen the episode thirteen times before, but was still fully invested in it. It was one of her favourites. There was comfort in knowing what would happen – something which sadly didn’t apply to her life.

Cue the epitome of the uncertainty of life, Gwendolyn. She sat down next to Wanda and began chatting as if they already knew each other. "Oh, the 1967 Halloween special, I love this one!" Gwendolyn knew the direct approach with Wanda hadn’t worked, so she was trying something a bit different.

“You’ve seen it?” Wanda asked, surprised. Nobody ever sat down to talk about shows with her. She was hesitant given her previous interaction with Gwen, but the fact that she knew about old sitcoms piqued her interest.

"Yeah, I binged the whole show before coming here" Gwen said with that Laina Morris grin again.

The smile was unnerving but Wanda ignored it. “What’s your favourite episode?” she asked, at first out of genuine curiosity but then suddenly growing suspicious that someone might actually want to have a conversation with her.

"The Joker is a Card. I relate to Uncle Arthur pretty strongly, for reasons I guess are obvious..." Gwendolyn answered, accompanied by the intervention of a laugh-track (she’d gotten Laura to intimidate an inmate with the ability to mimic voices and sounds into helping). Oh and for those of you who aren't familiar with every detail of a show that came out in the ‘60s, Uncle Arthur was portrayed by a gay actor.

The sound of canned laughter startled and confused Wanda. “What was that?

"What was what? I didn't hear anything." Gwendolyn was lying as badly as ever, but doing it in the way a sitcom character would, which she hoped would appeal to Wanda.

The witch definitely noticed a very sitcom-esque tone and suddenly felt like she was back in Westview. She wasn’t really sure how she felt about that. “You didn’t hear any laughter? I must be losing my mind…” right on cue, the laugh-track played. “There it was again”

Gwen dramatically shrugged. She was a terrible actress, but she actually kind of gave convincing old sitcom vibes. "Probably nothing. So, uh...come here often? Well...of course you do...it's prison..."

Wanda looked for a source of the laughter but found none. The random nature of it forced a small smile out of her though. “Well there aren’t many other places to frequent…who are you again?”

"Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn Poole. New girl on the cellblock. Ooh, that could be the show name..."

Nodding in agreement, Wanda felt herself vaguely warming up to the fangirl. “I’d watch that. I’ve imagined my incarceration as a sitcom before…It wasn’t very funny”

"Maybe your incarceration so far just wasn't the sitcom..." Gwen suggested. "Maybe it was the sad backstory before New Girl on the Cellblock...and in the show proper things are funnier...lighter hearted...more romantic." Her heart pounded.

“Are you trying to…flirt…with me?” Wanda asked in a hushed tone, giving her an unsure look.

"Yes!" Gwen said, smiling. "Is it working?"

Wanda didn’t know how to begin to answer that, which was made apparent as she stammered: “It…I…w-why are you interested in me?”

The question actually stunned Gwen for a second. How could Elizabeth Olsen not be sexy? "Are you kidding? Look at you! You're beautiful, powerful, sexy, funny, you're everything a gay girl in prison could want..."

Wanda bit at her blackened fingertips as she tried to process what Gwen was saying. It was pretty inconceivable to the witch that anyone here could want her without some ulterior motive. Jean had made her worth very clear. “I think you should go…” she said softly.

Gwendolyn went from beaming in anticipation of an awesome, cute romance scene to puppy-dog pouting. "What? Why? We were totally having a moment!"

“I don’t think Jean would be ok with this” Wanda whispered, fearing her arrival and hearing this conversation. “She can’t know about this”

"What's a romantic comedy without some obstacles?"

“Most of them don’t have someone being sold in the showers” Wanda said, accompanied by another burst of canned laughter that felt entirely poorly timed.

"This one doesn't have to. We can hide from her..."

“How would we do that?” Wanda asked, briefly entertaining the idea but knowing it wasn’t possible.

Gwen wasn’t going to give up. "Well...are there any ways she lets you interact with other girls?

“Only if they’re paying her in cigarettes for me” Wanda had a flash of each humiliating experience that had involved her body being sold.

"Well, there are clearly times she lets you go off alone. We could meet then. Plan ahead, make sure she's distracted..."

Wanda moved back slightly on the couch, avoiding being too close…but Gwen scooted closer anyway. “She’s a telepath. She’d know” Wanda tried to explain.

“You can fool her! I know it!" and then with those words spoken, Gwendolyn moved in for a kiss. Taken by surprise, Wanda didn't try to escape. To the stalkery fangirl that meant that clearly Wanda was totally into it and so she kissed her eagerly, tenderly, putting her tongue in her mouth. The unnamed mimicry-power based inmate provided the genre-appropriate "Oooooooooh"s of course. And then Gwen chose to take it a bit above what could be shown in a show from the ‘60s by ripping open Wanda’s jumpsuit and feeling up her perky breasts.

Eyes comically gone wide, Wanda looked in terrified confusion at what was happening. Guilt and fear began to overwhelm her as Gwen kept going until, suddenly, the witch pulled away. Whatever interest she had vanished in realisation at what Jean would do to her when she found out. Tilting her head (which Gwen recognised from Tik Tok edits as a signature sign that Wanda was threatening someone), she said in a tone that teetered between the realm of calm and scary. “I want you to leave”

"I don't want to leave you." Gwen said, attempting another rapey kiss. But before their lips could meet she was pulled to the opposite end of the couch by a sudden force, like invisible hands gripping her shoulders.

“I’ve given you a chance to leave, but if you won’t take it I’ll be forced to make you” Wanda more explicitly threatened as magic danced around her fingertips.

Gwen looked at her, pleading. "Come on! You want me, I could tell in that kiss, and I definitely want you. Let's find a way to make it work..."

The response she received was the tv remote being thrown at her face and then Wanda waving her away, literally forcing her off the couch with a gust of chaos magic, before turning to watch the tv in wait for the guards to apprehend her. She already knew there would be a massive security response to subdue her and drag her to solitary. There often was when she used her powers to harm someone, no matter how minor or even if it was in self-defense.

When the guards arrived, Wanda went away quietly, sighing as she looked at the ground and submitted to the overly aggressive staff cuffing her. She already knew she’d spend the next day in solitary worrying what Jean would do to her when she got out.

Gwendolyn felt dejected as she left the room, but still stopped to enjoy the sight of Wanda in chains…

—————————————————————

“What is it in an erotica that makes a sex scene so exciting to read? Is it the emotions, the push and pull of a dance between characters before they even get their clothes off? Depending on the couple maybe it’s the humiliation or love that goes into it. Or maybe it’s just seeing two sexy individuals ravage each other's bodies. Honestly, all of it gets me wet! But the best marriage of all three is the sacred hatefuck. Nothing is hotter than seeing a hero and their villain get it on while still despising each other” Gwen monologued aloud.

“I don’t give a shit” Laura said, bluntly making it known she didn’t care about Gwen’s thoughts on writing. “Just tell me what you want me to do"

They stood at the entrance of the gym where Gwen was eyeing She-Hulk running a 5k on the treadmill. They weren’t far at all from the last scene of disaster the fangirl had made, the gym sitting right next to the rec room. It was mostly a coincidence that her last target and her next were so close but it worked out pretty well.

“tell Titania that…” Gwendolyn whispered something in Laura’s ear that I’ll leave mysterious for now for the sake of surprise. But the plan now was in action, Gwen walking up to She-Hulk and Laura off to find Titania.

“Need me to spot you?” Gwen asked, grinning at her double entendre. She-Hulked out, Jennifer’s orange leotard clung tightly to her giant ripped Amazonian body as she ran. Focused on her work-out she hadn’t noticed the annoying girl from the mine approach until then.

She glanced at Gwen and rolled her eyes. "I'm fine, thanks." she replied

“With a rockin bod like yours I should have known you can handle things yourself” Gwen quipped. “Yesterday you said you wanted to make ‘introductions’ later. Well here I am!” She said ‘introductions’ while making quotation marks with her fingers.

Jenn slowed down a bit so she could talk properly and gestured to the treadmill next to hers. Gwen gladly took the invitation but proceeded to struggle to figure out how to turn it on. It was painful to watch the minute it took her to find the power button. “I really like your prison-themed leotard. It leaves nothing to the imagination while you’re mining”

"Yeah, certain guards are of the same opinion." Jenn replied. "That always how you make introductions?"

“Only when the other person is a completely hot jolly green giant…or a grieving witch…or Kathryn Newton…” The list was longer than thought as she started to say it out loud.

Jenn raised an eyebrow at that last one. "The girl from Detective Pikachu?"

“She exists in this universe?! Doesn’t Cassie Lang look exactly like her?” Gwen gasped.

"Uh...this universe?" Jenn asked for clarification, barely hearing the second clause.

Gwendolyn was aware that she probably shouldn’t try to explain it so she lied. “Universe? Who said anything about universe?”

"You did...a second ago." Jenn said, increasingly confused and annoyed. She was really sick of the new girl but felt bad just outright telling her to leave her alone. Gwen surely was out of her mind.

“No I didn’t. Why would I talk about universes when we were discussing actresses?” Gwen attempted. Jenn only sighed and turned the speed back up, indicating that she was done with this conversion as politely as she could. As observant of social cues as ever (not at all), Gwen went from simply conversing to attempting to flirt. “This is fun and all, but how about we work out a few other muscles” she said with a wink

"I've heard better pick-up lines from LA area dudes who unironically call themselves alphas." Jenn said, in an insult so devastating even Gwen couldn’t miss it. The fangirl had been through a lot since this chapter started but that line hurt far more than the series of anal penetrations…but not quite as much as Rogue’s touch of death. Her face still kind of stung from that, or maybe it was hurting from repeatedly being slapped in the showers a few hours ago. Who could tell anymore? Either way, she actually shut up.

That was when the door swung open and Laura entered the gym, looking over her shoulder for the unhinged superpowered influencer she antagonised into chasing her. Under the guise of acting under Jennifer’s request, she told Titania that it was inspiring that she had become a body-positivity icon in prison. That did the trick.

“Body-positivity icon? Try calling me that when I literally break every bone in your body!” Titania yelled, furiously following the mutant through the prison while shoving just about anyone who got in her way. Like a charging bull she could not be stopped. Admittedly she seemed way more pissed off than Gwen anticipated, but the fangirl had complete faith that her plan would work.

Laura locked eyes with Gwen for a second, as if to say 'I hope this was worth it.' She ran towards her, acrobatically jumping over several rowing machines, weight benches and cross trainers hoping they'd slow Titania down. But they didn’t stand much of a chance. While it did take more force than it would have if Titania didn’t have a power-suppression collar on, she still was strong enough to move the equipment with relative ease. She couldn’t flip it, but she definitely could give it a substantial shove.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cave your face in last” The influencer threatened.

Suddenly Gwendolyn stepped in front of her. “Hi! I’m Gwen-“ she started…but was unceremoniously tossed aside as Titania approached She-Hulk with a fury.

“Now what?” Jenn groaned. Against all odds, she missed the days when Titania wasn’t in prison. Now she had to deal with being incarcerated and her madly persistent foe. Titania wasn’t even her biggest adversary and yet she practically managed to show up no matter what just to get her ass kicked.

Titania swept her long, cascading red hair back and smirked. “Now what? Now I’m going to destroy you” She said with complete confidence despite her number of defeats in their fights being in the double digits. Not once had she won but here she was trying again.

Jenn rolled her eyes, more annoyed that she had to do this again than anything else. “Look, we’ve done this a lot. Can you just get over it?”

“I don’t get over anything” Titania replied.

 

Gwen managed to stagger to her feet. She would have been eating popcorn for this fight if she had any, but unfortunately she didn’t.

“So what’s the point of this?” Laura asked, standing by her cellmate.

“I said it yesterday in the mines, hatefuck threesome. We’ve shipped them. We’ve set the fuse. Now I just have to lay the dynamite then I join in and BOOM I lose my virginity to both of them” Gwen proclaimed.

“I think that’s in the wrong order…but whatever” Laura started but remembered she was talking to Gwendolyn and that there was no point in trying to use logic with her.

By the time Titania had said “Get ready for Round 2, bitch” her rampage was brought to an abrupt end as She-Hulk leaped off the treadmill, grabbed her by the arm and flipped her over onto her back. Then the emerald giantess straddled her and expertly pinned her arms to the floor, over her head. No matter how hard Titania tried, she wouldn’t be able to break free. “Ugh get off me! Ew you’re all sweaty!” she whined.

It was all going to Gwendolyn’s absolutely ridiculous plan until Laura took hold of her arm. "We should leave before the guards show up” she said.

Gwen scoffed. “And miss this? Can’t you just feel the sexual energy coming off those two? This is how the action starts! They’re going to start ripping each other’s clothes off any minute now…” a minute passed and Jennifer and Titania were still struggling, but neither’s clothes were any more removed than they’d been before the fight. “Any minute…”

“You wanna go to solitary then?” Laura asked. They were running out of time.

“Not really…but the whole point of this was to join them…fine” Gwen nodded, letting Laura drag her out of the gym as the fangirl stared back longingly at She-Hulk and Titania.

Jenn was still smacking Titania into submission when she heard the boots of guards rushing in. She stopped. She sighed. A shadow fell over her and she knew who it was...she was about to be strip searched, then jump rope, then eat pussy, then spend the weekend naked in a solitary cell getting livestreamed to Weaver's desktop.

Leading the armed guards securing the two inmates, Officer Weaver stepped in front of Jennifer with a wolfish grin on her face. “Guess it’s back to the hole for you, Shulkie”

“Thank you! This bitch just attacked me for no reason!” Titania exclaimed as Jenn got off and assumed a knelt position for the guard to cuff her. The influencer was under the impression that this was a rescue.

“Don’t worry about it. You’ll actually be getting a nice long four days away from her, or anyone really, in solitary” Weaver remarked, pulling a pair of vibranium cuffs off her belt and locking Jenn’s wrists up tight while the same was done to Titania by another guard.

“What? That is like so unfair! It’s your fault!” Titania accused Jennifer while wrestling with the guard trying to cuff her. The influencer’s resistance stopped though when her collar shocked her into obedience.

Jenn once again rolled her eyes at the supervillain. "Pointing out that I did literally nothing except stop her won't make a difference, will it?" she asked Weaver.

“It won’t” Weaver replied, lifting the tip of her baton to Jenn’s chin to indicate for her to stand. They had things to do before she could toss her in the hole.

So in summation, in the span of ten minutes Gwen had managed to get three people sent to solitary.

—————————————————————

Laura and Gwendolyn ran like hell to escape the guards rushing into the gym. Laura was fine, Gwen on the other was exhausted and trying not to show it. But as they reached the yard, she saw a sight that restored her energy: Natasha Romanoff, her jumpsuit down around her waist, her perfectly muscled torso glistening in the sun, chest shamelessly covered by absolutely nothing…

"Gwen...you're literally drooling." Laura pointed out.

"Huh? Oh!" Gwen wiped her mouth on her sleeve. "Okay...I got this...I got this..." She was trying to psych herself up more than she had with anyone else. This was it. This right here was her absolute dream. Scarlett Johannson herself. The face that launched well over a thousand fanfictions. Maybe the others didn’t work out, but this had to. This right here was the grand finale! Praying to every deity out there (Marvel Jesus, Mephisto, Thor, God of Stories Loki, and Stan himself) she asked for this one small miracle. Taking a deep breath Gwen walked towards her.

Gracefully stretching, Natasha eyed the blonde walking up to her. She could read Gwen from a simple glance. New arrival, anxious, not a threat, subtle body signals conveyed she was clearly made nervous by her.

"Hi..." Gwen said, an octave higher than she meant to. Her whole body tenses. She wanted to smack herself in the face but resisted the urge. ‘Come on Gwen, cool, sexy femme fatale, cool, sexy femme fatale!’ she thought to herself, she pulled down her jumpsuit to match Natasha’s. Since she hadn’t magically acquired an undershirt, it just means that she was now as topless as Black Widow.

“Hey” Nat greeted in an effortlessly cool tone. Her sight briefly drifted to Gwen’s chest as her jumpsuit came undone but she didn’t make it too obvious.

But Gwendolyn caught it and sharply took another breath. ‘Black Widow, The fucking Black fucking Widow just checked out my tits!’ She could have fainted but somehow stayed up. "...The name's Poole. Gwen Poole." She said. She didn’t do a British accent because even she knew how dorky that would be.

Gwen wasn’t the first fan Nat had met so she didn't hold her clear excitement against her. “What brings you to The Raft, Gwen?” she asked while raising her right leg in the air above her head in an impressive show of balance and flexibility.

It took the fangirl a long while to answer as she was distracted by Nat’s pose. When she regained her composure, she said: "Uh...I...w-wouldn't you like to know..."

“Only if you want to tell me” Natasha replied, holding the pose with ease.

"...I robbed an aquarium. But I was purposely trying to end up here."

That managed to make even the mighty Black Widow mentally pause for a moment, not having seen that one coming. She could have asked why she robbed an aquarium but one question at a time. “Why would you want to be here?”

"I have my reasons..." Gwendolyn said, trying to get back to being aloof and mysterious.

Nat didn’t press the topic so instead moved on to a different one. She was wondering what exactly the girl had approached her for but didn't want to say it directly so instead asked: “Are you wanting my autograph?”

"I want more than that!" Gwen said, grinning, but then pulled it back. "I-I mean...we can help each other."

“And how can we do that?”

This was going pretty smoothly considering the conversation had Gwen. "Well, I know a lot of stuff about people in here. Like a lot. Stuff you probably don't know. Go ahead, ask me about someone."

Nat was enjoying the calm of her time in the yard, but clearly this was going to be a long conversation. She sighed but played along. “Tell me something about me”

Gwen considered bringing up her infertility, but thought better of it. "When you were a kid, and your adoptive parents were Soviet agents sent to infiltrate the US, Yelena used to play the song American Pie a lot. It has special significance to you for that reason”

Natasha narrowed her eyes. “How do you about know that?”

"I told you. I know things." Gwen said with a smile. "I could tell you other things about yourself...a certain intimate conversation you and Bruce had at Hawkeye’s house...but I don't wanna bring that up because it's a bummer. I think I've proved my point."

Yelena’s love for the song could have been a weirdly accurate deduction based on the fact that she hums it, but absolutely no one except Natasha and Bruce know about that conversation. Nat was perplexed but hid it, asking calmly: “So is that your mutation?”

"Yes.” Gwen said, figuring it was a reasonable enough simplification of the truth. "And I can tell you a lot about other girls in here, things that will help you gain an advantage. Interested?"

“Maybe. What would you get out of helping me?” Nat asked distrustfully. Speaking about herself just as much as she was others, people in prison didn’t help for no reason. There was always a catch.

Gwendolyn blushed. "I...I wanna have sex with you. Not the usual way people ask for that in here. I want you to dominate me..."

“That’s not the usual thing people ask for…but you’re not the first” Nat remarked, not yet giving an answer to her proposal. The offer combined with her appearance seemed familiar to something Yelena mentioned over breakfast. “Was it you who visited my sister’s cell yesterday?”

"Um...yes." Gwen answered, embarrassed. "...That didn't go how I hoped."

“Yeah…she told me” Nat sounded like she wished she hadn’t. The details Yelena chose to specify while they were eating were of course mostly about what it was like making Gwendolyn eat out her ass. Noticing the fan’s embarrassment Nat add: “She seemed to like you though”

"She did?!" Gwendolyn asked, her confident facade collapsing as she openly fangirled for a moment before she forced herself back to the femme fatale effect. "I hope...you like me to. Enough to give me the satisfaction she didn't."

By now Natasha felt like she understood Gwendolyn pretty well. She was a fangirl who was too horny for her own good but ultimately pretty harmless. The spy didn’t feel right taking advantage of that. “Gwen, you seem sweet and your powers are definitely impressive. But I think you deserve a relationship that isn’t built on how you can be useful to the other person”

Gwendolyn looked excited for the first two clauses of her statement. Then the 'but' happened, and she looked crestfallen. "I can't have that. I can't find that, if I could I wouldn't have come here. Plus, you're Natasha Romanoff! Scarlett fucking Johanson! Being your owned bitch, even in a super toxic relationship, would be ambrosia!"

Natasha flowed out of stretching so that she could address her directly. “I know it would be…for the first month maybe. But do you really think you’d want to be my bitch years from now? I don’t” Nat probably wouldn’t have treated her that poorly, but the implication of it being worse than it would be was important to her point. “Or being anyone’s bitch for that matter. You’re what 19? Being claimed isn’t as romantic as it probably sounds to you right now”

"Then let me have that month!" Gwen implored. "Or at least let me lose my virginity to you! Please?"

The spy tensed. She’d turned out plenty of women, she did have a harem after all, but the topic of losing one’s virginity never stopped being uncomfortable. The nature of the Red Room assured that her first time wasn’t really by her own volition. “Judging by your abilities you probably already know this, but during the first job the Red Room gave me I was told to sleep with my first target and so I did. I lost my virginity to a politician in Saint Petersburg…” she refrained from oversharing. “…My point is that I don’t feel comfortable taking your virginity”

That floored Gwen for a second, and she stammered: "I...I actually didn't know that." Her facade fell entirely, and she was just an awkward nerdy teenager. "...Damn, that sucks. I'm sorry..."

Natasha nodded, not having expected to be hit with that series of Red Room given trauma today. “When this conversation is over please don’t try to get yourself claimed by someone else”

Realising her last effort had failed, Gwendolyn desperately tried to follow Natasha as she walked away. "Wait wait...I'm more than I seem! Wouldn't you like to know! Thank you for your cooperation!" she yelled out random femme fatale lines she had rehearsed beforehand, to no avail. She fell to her knees, having failed.

Laura came up to her cellmate's kneeling form. "I guess that didn't work out..."

“Yeah…” Gwen said solemnly, reflecting on what had been said and everything that had happened to her since arriving in this series. The pain she’d been through, the failed attempts. Then something clicked. It all made so much sense.

“Wow…” she began. Everything was so clear now. How could she have not seen it sooner? It was right in front of her the whole time. She’d been going on all these mad pursuits but why? The epiphany shook her to her core. She stood and looked at Laura. “...I can’t believe this whole time you’ve had a crush on me!”

Laura’s eyes widened and she took a step back. "What?!"

Smiling madly, Gwen got uncomfortably close. “Black Widow was so right, I was so busy chasing everyone else that I completely missed that you’re madly in love with me!” she exclaimed despite the fact that that absolutely was not what Natasha’s point was at all. “You love me! Admit it!”

This sudden, intense, inaccurate and totally unexpected outpouring of emotion triggered Laura’s fight or flight response, and anybody who thought she would choose flight didn’t know her. She delivered a hard uppercut to Gwen's chin, with all her might. The only restraint she showed was that her claws weren't out. One second Gwendolyn had been staring into Laura’s eyes plotting out the escalation of bases and then the next thing she knew everything went black. The punch knocked her out cold.

 

—————————End Credit Scene————————-

New York. She entered a crowded high-end restaurant that would have been a culture shock to any of the long-incarcerated women of The Raft. The drastic change in scenery that came from shifting between the two worlds used to come as a surprise but she'd gotten used to it by now. She was suddenly beckoned by a well-dressed man seated at one of the tables.

“Valentina, I’m glad you could make it” Norman Osborn, CEO of Oscorp, king of the new age of superheroes, smiled like shards of glass filled his mouth, the proper expression never quite reaching his dead eyes.

Val smoothly took a seat and eyed him carefully. “Norman. I’m surprised you chose to do this in person. I half-expected you to send me one of your lackeys”

“I prefer conducting business like this in person. It’s not everyday that the warden of the most secure women’s prison in the world wishes to buy one of my products. Whoever you choose will assure a decrease in any…misbehaviour…while still reporting to you of course” Norman set down several files on the table, each containing information on different Oscorp-made heroes.

But Val already knew who she was looking for. She’d been planning this for some time afterall. “I did my research already” she said, holding up the file marked ‘Thunderstorm’

Norman nodded in agreement. “Due to the nature of this new project, I’m inclined to suggest you avoid deploying her unless absolutely necessary”

Chapter 29: I Don't Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime Is Here)

Summary:

In this loosely-canon Holiday Special, Wanda Maximoff attempts to spread some festive cheer to the dreary prison. Cellblocks are decked with boughs of holly, trees adorned in glimmering lights, and candy canes shoved up a naughty girl’s arse. What else could be expected from Christmas at The Raft?

Chapter Text

—————————————————————

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through The Raft
Not an inmate was stirring, only nightshift staff;
The stockings were hung by the cell-bars with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there…”

—————————————————————

Christmas Eve, a day when people come together to gather in the light of the dark December with Yuletide merriment. Well at least that’s what it is for most. For the inmates of The Raft it wasn’t too dissimilar from any other day of the year, except for Wanda. Given special permission from the guards and, more importantly, Jean, the Scarlet Witch had been allowed to organise the prison’s festivities. Humming carols to herself, The witch fretted to and fro between the provided boxes of decor, pulling strings of garland and bits of fake holly in this wonderful brief period of independence. Christmas was always her favourite holiday, well the idea of Christmas (most of her childhood festive cheer came through forcing Pietro to watch old American holiday films with her) and even her life in prison hadn’t changed that.

With each light adorned and stocking hung Wanda mentally listed everything that must be prepared in order for it to be the best Christmas it could be. She’d been given permission to organise a special Christmas dinner, an artificial tree in the yard, and a gift exchange tomorrow when the work shift would usually occur. They were even letting her draft a few inmates from the chain gang today as decorators and cooks, and to craft gifts (though they had to clear all such drafts with the guards).

Officer Renee came back from her break, relieving the guard overseeing Wanda, and smirked at the witch’s clear mix of excitement and stress."How's it goin' inmate?" Renee asked, sounding genuinely kinder than usual. "Managing to bring some holiday cheer to what is basically Scrooge Island?"

“It’s going well so far! I’m only…thirty minutes behind schedule already” Wanda replied uncharacteristically enthusiastically while checking her list. It was somewhat jarring (but in a good way) for her to engage with guards and to actually have them be somewhat friendly. They weren’t usually very kind to the woman who held a town hostage and then nearly ripped apart the multiverse.

"So, I heard you had some requests for little helpers. Which elves do you want off the chain gang, Scarlet Santa?" Renee asked.

Reciting her answer off memory, Wanda replied: “Darcy Lewis, She-Hulk, Kate Bishop, Natasha, and Sylvie please”

Officer Renee looked hesitant. "She-Hulk is one of the more productive miners. What do you need her for?"

Wanda shrugged. “She’s tall and can lift the heavy things”

Renee paused to think about it, but eventually sighed. "Fine. As it's Christmas. Also, I got you something..."

“You did?” Wanda asked, not sure if she should trust a gift from one of the notoriously kinky guards.
Wanda watched with slight apprehension as Renee reached into her bag…and pulled out a red and white santa-hat with the witch’s inmate number printed across the bottom. Wanda’s eyes lit up briefly.

"You may as well look the part." Renee said, putting it on Wanda’s head.

“Thank you” Wanda smiled softly, charmed by the gift. It was such a small act, but she’d been met with very little kindness throughout her life. Getting a gift at all, especially in prison, felt like a shock to her system.

"Merry Christmas" Renee sent the transfer order for the requested inmates from her tablet.

Wanda pulled a long string of lights out that she sorted with the others. “…You can help us decorate if you want” there was no harm in at least offering.

Renee only chuckled. “I think I'd rather just watch you cuties work, thanks. Weaver will bring you your elves in a minute."

The witch returned to focusing on unboxing, black fingers carefully handling each and every precious item as she meticulously mentally pictured the perfect place to put them. The intrusive thought that somewhere in the multiverse she was doing this with her family strayed into her mind, but the pain didn’t linger anywhere near as long as it usually did when she imagined the life a version of her could be leading. It came and it went, parting so that she may focus on her plans. Before she knew it Officer Weaver was there with “six little elves plus one” as the guard put it. The five requested helpers were there…and Domino. Apparently there was some sort of lucky scheduling glitch that assigned her to the job.

Everyone else on the group had varying reactions to being present. Jennifer Walters wasn't surprised to be pulled off the chaingang by Weaver, that was fairly common, but she was surprised that the reason didn't involve jumping rope. Darcy and Kate Bishop just looked excited to be there, but the archer did feel guilty for leaving Yelena working in the mines. Natasha Romanoff had strongly hinted to Wanda that she should be given this job two days ago, despite not liking the holiday. Sylvie mostly looked bemused by Wanda in the odd hat, with uncharacteristically (for this place) colourful items surrounding her. The trickster goddess inferred from context that this was some sort of Midgardian holiday, but its traditions remained unknown to her.

"Elves?" Jennifer asked Weaver, reproachfully.

“Well you are Scarlet Santa’s helpers” Weaver replied with a shrug.

Domino smirked, thinking the title was cute. "We could do with some cute orange elf-outfits." she suggested, much to She-Hulk's obvious annoyance.

Wanda absentmindedly opened one of the boxes when she happened to find exactly that. Holding one up with an expression of bemusement on her face she said “Oh well there actually are some…”

Domino beamed. "How lucky." Her cuffs came unlocked, much to Kate Bishop’s astonishment, and she began stripping out of her jumpsuit.

“How? Why?” Darcy questioned the seemingly coincidental undoing of chains as she was manually uncuffed by Weaver and then began to undress as well. Nat followed next, not shy at all about changing in front of the others. She had nothing to be shy of. Kate didn’t feel the same way, awkwardly trying to strip without anyone seeing any part of her too intimate.

Sylvie was confused by this whole conversation. "Are we talking about Svartálfheimians or Alfheimians?" Her question was met by a blank stare from Wanda, who was trying to formulate a response despite not knowing what either of those meant.

Having testified in a case involving a light-elf, Jennifer understood. "Not that kind of elf, Sylvie. Think shorter, more marketable, and more humiliating to have to dress as."

“She means Christmas elves. Like those little guys with green hats who help Santa” Kate tried to explain to the confused Goddess of Mischief. “...Which, saying that out loud, is probably not a thing on Asgard”

"No, none of this is. But you do look cute in those tights." Sylvie smirked while beginning to get changed.

And so they all were in various states of wearing the prison themed festive-wear. Natasha stepping into a frilly skirt that strangely reminded her of her ballet days while Wanda couldn’t help but watch, Kate hurriedly putting on what she could, Domino beside herself with excitement at her own idea, and Darcy rolling her eyes as Sylvie looked at her now exposed boobs mid-change. Everyone was almost dressed…except one. “There a reason you aren’t getting changed, Shulkie?” Weaver asked while tapping her baton against a box

She-Hulk crossed her very finely toned green arms. “I...would rather keep my leotard, thank you."

“Wow someone’s being a Grinch today” Weaver chuckled, choosing that nickname due to the woman’s green complexion. “I could send you back to the mines if you aren’t going to be festive”

"That might be preferable." Jennifer said, hoping she'd offer a more positive incentive.

Officer Weaver rolled her eyes. “You always love to negotiate things, Walters. Never can just be easy. Get dressed and I’ll give you the next week off from our little sessions” the guard’s festive spirit to see Jennifer dressed in a cute prison elf costume outweighed her love of the usual torments.

Jen blushed a slightly deeper shade of green as their 'sessions' were mentioned in front of the other inmates. “Fine” she agreed, taking off the leotard and changing into the elf outfit in her size (albeit still quite tight).

—————————————————————

Yelena Belova could not believe that it was Christmas Eve and she was down in the heart of the mines sweating her tits off. Granted, she’d spent past Christmas Eves in far worse situations (such as the interrogation chamber of a South American dictator that she later violently killed) but this just felt like a really lame way to spend the day. Ever since she was a kid she’d wanted a normal American Christmas like she’d been forced to model for in her fake childhood. It had been pretty depressing to rip open a present only to find that the box was empty (despite the fact that she’d already opened three other faux presents in a row).

However petty, Wanda hadn’t chosen Yelena as a helper because of the assassin’s very annoying tendency to break into the kitchen to make herself macaroni and cheese whenever she felt like it. It also didn't help that Yelena never cleaned up the mess from when she was done cooking. The spy of course didn’t know that was the reason she wasn’t chosen, but she did know that Wanda didn’t like it when she did that (but that had never stopped her).

Taking a pretty aggressive swing at the rocks and then wiping a thick sheen of sweat off her forehead, Yelena’s mind was on Kate Bishop. Their last Christmas together had been traumatic…but in a fun way. Hopefully this year would be like that again (fun, not traumatic). Speaking of traumatic, Yelena was being forced to listen to a truly awful song being sung.

“Pulling down your jumpsuit.
Yanking off my own
Underneath the mistletoe.
I will make you moan.”
Gwendolyn Pool very poorly sang to the tune of Jingle Bells as she toiled beside Laura Kinney in the mine. The fangirl was literally a few swings away from blacking out and yet she still chose to waste her breath singing.

 

Now it was officially the worst Christmas Eve ever to Yelena. The obnoxious fangirl she’d facesat had assured of that. “Can you shut the fuck up?” Laura growled, just about ready to turn Gwen into a kebab. She spoke for basically everyone that could hear when she asked that question.

“I’m just trying to make this a bit more festive. We’re clearly in a Holiday special, what am I supposed to do? Want me to do a different carol?” Gwen asked between heaving. Getting a less than enthusiastic expression from Laura, she began to sing to the tune of We Wish You A Merry Christmas: “Oh I wish I could see you naked…”

Her song was cut short as Laura spun around, popped her claws out, and rested the incredibly sharp tips against Gwendolyn’s throat. “Sing another line and I’ll cut your tongue out, got it?”

“Y-Yeah…got it” Gwen stammered

From her spot along the chain, Rogue sighed in relief. She hated most merriment (or at least that's what she said) but a musical was simply taking it too far. The goth would have preferred to take two candy canes and stab her eardrums out than have to hear another carol. Judging by Kitty’s reaction, even she was relieved it was over.

“Wow um that was like totally terrible” Kitty whispered in a tone that still managed to sound pretty chipper to her spooky girlfriend. She was optimistic but not deaf.

Rogue breathed in sharply as she tried to maintain her rhythm. “It wasn’t all that different from most carols: obnoxious and irritatin’” She firmly believed in the supremacy of Halloween, although she did admittedly like Krampusnacht. She’d never really had people in her life to celebrate Christmas with so she abhorred the holiday…and Kitty was Jewish.

—————————————————————

The helping inmates were broken up into groups: She-Hulk and Darcy would handle the tree, Natasha and Sylvie were to deal with the gifts, Kate and Domino decorating, and Wanda would prepare tomorrow's meal.

"So, were you much of a Christmasy person before?" She-Hulk made small talk with Darcy as they walked under guard supervision to the hangar. There weren’t exactly many trees nearby given the fact that The Raft was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so one was being flown in via quinjet. Jennifer Walters was the best choice for the job in who could deal with the tree from there.

“Uh yeah! It’s only the best holiday” Darcy replied as she attempted to straighten her glasses while she fumbled with the awkwardly stacked boxes she was attempting to hold. Really she should have just taken two trips, but she didn’t want to go back and forth. “Y’know I actually helped cater a Christmas party at Avenger’s tower while I was interning”

"No kidding? Wait, this wasn't the 2014 party, was it?" Jenn asked.

“Yeah! Wait, were you there?” That Christmas party had been the one where Justin Hammer took control of the tower and held all of the guests hostage until the Avengers arrived.

"Yeah, Bruce invited me. I didn't look like this at the time, of course."

The hangar doors drew open, and both women could see the frankly ridiculous sight of a Christmas tree being air-lifted in. I would describe it, but I think the image is pretty self-explanatory. “This place is so weird” Darcy remarked flatly. As the helicopter set the tree down and disconnected its tethers, Jenn began lifting the giant tree up over her shoulder, with less effort than Darcy was using for the small boxes. Darcy looked pretty astonished. “Show off”

"Easy part’s done. Now I just have to walk this thing to the yard." Jenn said, carefully manoeuvring towards the door with the giant tree in her grasp.

Darcy tried to keep up with the emerald giantess as they made their way to the yard. “So how into Christmas are you? It seemed like Bruce finds it stressful”

"He does. So do I, kinda, but I like being around family and giving and receiving gifts. A week when I don't have to look at any court briefings is also nice...well, it used to be." Her last Christmas pre-incarceration did involve Titania bursting through the chimney dressed in a slutty Santa costume, but that was dealt with pretty quickly as per usual.

Darcy nodded. “Yeah…well this is a nice break from the mines, right?”

"Yeah, that is nice." Mining isn’t as hard as it is for some when you have a condition like Jenn’s, but she still wasn’t fond of doing it. "How about you? How do you usually spend Christmas?"

“Mostly alone drinking eggnog and watching Christmas movies. Which saying that out loud sounds a lot more depressing than it actually it” Darcy thought aloud.

"I mean, it sounds wonderful compared to anything in this place." Jenn said sympathetically, as they made the slow and delicate approach to the yard. She relied on Darcy to watch her blindspot and ensure she didn't accidentally wack a guard with the tree.

—————————————————————

“You have unlimited access to all the usual materials. So cloth, nylon, and polyester. Of course I will be watching you both to make sure you don’t get too…creative” Weaver explained as she escorted Sylvie and Natasha into the factory. The place was used for a relatively uncommon job in the prison, a task only slightly better than the mines but not particularly sought after. Apparently spending hours preparing uniforms for other prisons wasn’t anyone’s dream job. But it was perfect for the holiday, full of sewing machines, conveyor belts, rolls upon rolls of various cheap fabrics, and all manner of other devices. It was practically Santa’s budget wrapping station.

“Define ‘too creative?’” Sylvie asked, at ease with Weaver given their rapport.

“I’ve never been assigned to work in the factory before so yeah clarification would be great” Natasha added, looking uninterested by her task but relieved she didn’t have to swing a pickaxe.

Weaver activated the systems, bringing the room to life as the machinery began to whir. “Well I have to make sure you don’t hide any harmful items in the clothes. Still, I trust that neither of you will- actually I trust Sylvie won’t”

 

"Trusting a mischief goddess is certainly a choice." Sylvie commented as she assessed the objects all about.

“Yes well you have far less infractions related to harming other prisoners” Weaver replied.

Natasha couldn’t help but smirk at that. “Thank you” Her status as a higher-risk convict was a compliment, but she also wanted to get this job over with. "Do we have a list of inmates and their body measurements?"

The guard walked over to one of the belts and held up a notebook which she handed to the assassin and goddess. It was actually a copy of the relevant data collected during everyone’s intakes, but same difference. All information that didn’t directly help with the process of making clothes had naturally been blacked out.

“Must have taken awhile to copy all that down off the system” Nat said as she looked through the information. It reminded her quite a lot of being handed a SHIELD file on her target in her pre-Avenger days. Just this time she was making gifts, not being sent to kill or apprehend someone.

Sylvie perused the data and conferred with Nat. "How do you think we should do this? Decide what each prisoner should get and then start producing them? Or do we already have some guidance on that?"

Weaver leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette despite the clear ‘no smoking’ sign beside her. She was a guard, obviously that meant the rules didn’t apply to her. “Towards the final few pages Wanda wrote some notes on what a few members of each gang want that you can use to guess the others”

“That’s at least a start” Natasha looked over the notes alongside Sylvie. Judging by the sheer amount there was to read, Wanda must have been working on this for a while. Nat wasn’t sure how the witch had found time between sessions of being abused by Jean. In truth, it involved a lot of Wanda abruptly asking questions to people she passed while mopping up the prison. Most of whom felt uncomfortable answering given the fact she looked like a complete madwoman 90% of the time.

"Indeed” Sylvie nodded. “I hope you don't mind if we start with my Shieldmaidens."

“That’s fine. Our gangs should be the easiest place to start” Natasha agreed.

—————————————————————

“I really hope you don’t mind me asking, but what’s your power? I noticed the collar and…” Kate Bishop chatted while standing atop a table to be high enough to string the lights along the wall of the cafeteria. She’d found that people were usually annoyed by the question but she was way too interested, and lacked enough of a filter, to remember that. “I’m sure it’s something cool”

"I'm lucky." Domino replied, standing several chairs on top of each other, entirely confident that the precarious positioning wouldn’t fall down.

Kate tilted her head “Is that a power? How does it work?”

"Like this." Domino said, casually climbing the unstable tower of chairs. It didn’t stay perfectly stable as one might expect if her powers were super-agility. Rather, it wobbled in exactly the pattern necessary to put up the string of lights along the bottom of the guards' overhead patrol walkway. "You may wanna stand back." she said as she finished this section of the lights and the tower collapsed. She landed on her feet, uninjured among the fallen chairs.

“That is…so cool!” Kate exclaimed excitedly. “Wait, shouldn't the collar shut that off…or does it not work because of your luck?” she had a slight tendency to fangirl and ask too many questions, but it was at least better than some people (like a certain blonde and pink haired stalker…)

"This is my ninth collar. They gave up replacing them after my first week here. They always seem to malfunction a second before locking around my neck." Domino grinned. "How about you? What landed you here?"

“Me? Last Christmas I helped Hawkeye stop this crazy crime boss named Kingpin who thought I was some vigilante called The Ronin.” Kate smiled pretty proudly, still stoked about spending a Christmas with the Hawkeye a year later. “...Which I’m sure should have been fine if a few of the henchmen didn’t…die and the Rockefeller Centre got pretty destroyed in the fight”

"Oh, yeah, I saw that on the news." Domino said, chuckling. "Well, my sympathies for your first Christmas in prison."

Kate grabbed some holly from a box and tossed it against the wall, landing perfectly in place atop the tinsel. “Thanks. I mean so far this isn’t so bad” It felt like it could have been worse than this. Like a lot worse!

The archer wasn’t sure what it was about this conversation, but she felt weirdly calm. Although she wouldn’t have said it, she was grateful for the break from Yelena. She knew the assassin was a huge step up from the lustful clutches of Hela that she’d narrowly avoided, but things had been incredibly uncomfortable given their vastly different perspectives on what was and wasn’t acceptable behaviour (regardless of whether or not they were in prison). Nothing about the whole bitch system sat right with Kate, but Yelena seemed to be amused by it. It wasn’t a dispute that was all-consuming, but they came across it enough that Kate was beginning to feel uncomfortable around Yelena. A small part of her worried that Yelena was only being nice to her just so she could claim her.

"Impressive." Domino said as she watched the feat of accuracy. "That a power or just a skill?"

Kate smiled, forgetting all about the Yelena situation. “Skill. Y’know some people have actually called me the world’s greatest archer”

"We seem to have a lot of 'world's greatests' in here. The Raft should field an Olympic team." Domino remarked while grabbing a few candy canes.

 

“We should! That would honestly be amazing!” Domino was joking but Kate seemed to take the idea seriously. The archer stared at Domino for a moment only starting to realise the tone. “Oh you were joking…”

“Yeah…” Domino answered, now feeling things were awkward. There were a painful few minutes of both women decorating in silence before Domino ventured to introduce a new topic. "So, what do you usually do during Christmas?"

Kate sighed in relief that they were talking. “Well Christmas Eve my mom usually pressures me into going to a charity gala with her and then Christmas day I spend at her penthouse helping with dinner” It was only after she said it out loud that she remembered that her life would never be like that again. There were no more arguments about what she wore or whether it was ok to put her bow on the dinner table. The mom she knew was gone. “…but now she’s in prison…and I guess I am too” It was taking a dark turn fast. She needed to put the topic on to Domino. How about you?”

Domino caught on to Kate’s desperate attempt and took up her end of things. "No two Christmases have been exactly the same for me since I got my powers. I never had much of a permanent family, but I did always end up with people. Sometimes I'd just have a nice dinner and hang out with some friendly people, some years I end up in the middle of some fun wacky shit like fighting mutant penguins, heisting a fortune from a billionaire or helping an alien reindeer back to his home dimension. Only one of those three is a joke, by the way, and I'm not telling you which." Whatever two were true had been some insanely weird adventures with Deadpool.

“Ok but all of those sound awesome and I kinda wish they were all true. Not sure how well this Christmas will fare against whichever two are true”

"So far it's a chill time in good company." Domino said, finding herself wishing she had a drink to toast with as they finished putting up the lights. That’s when she noticed a flask laying on the serving counter, abandoned for whatever reason by Jessica Jones.

“I mean chill Christmases are good” Kate replied, her usual upbeat tone coming back.

Domino took two paper cups and poured out two drinks. "To a chill Christmas"

“Thanks” Kate took one of the paper cups offered and tapped it against hers. “To a chill Christmas”

—————————————————————

The pressure was beginning to weigh on Wanda Maximoff as she darted around the kitchen. The mental construct of making a fake Christmas special episode for one family already was a daunting task back when she subconsciously planned it for Westview, but to prepare enough food for the entire prison was beyond overwhelming. It didn’t help that she’d hyped it up so much in her head that it must be perfect and if she made a single mistake Christmas was ruined.

Taking intake of the well-stocked freezers and refrigerators – full of budget turkey cuts, cranberry sauce, and frozen vegetables – she was simply trying to get her mind to think straight. A part of her was probably putting so much stress on this one day because she lacked control of so many others, but right now she was far too busy to sit and dwell on the ‘why’ of her feelings. Why did her mental list of prep-work seem to keep getting longer the more tasks she did?

She made a sharp inhale and shut her eyes, hoping to alleviate a piercing headache she had brewing. It predictably didn’t do much to help and so she began pulling out what she could prepare today.

—————————————————————

Back in the yard, Jenn was centering the tree with Darcy being very (un)helpful. “Left…wait no right…wait sorry left again” she advised. Jennifer only grunted softly in annoyance, trying to follow Darcy’s directions as best she could. The tree wasn’t heavy, but it was incredibly awkward to handle. Its long branches of evergreen leaves swayed with every movement she made, narrowly avoiding scraping against the walls that surrounded the yard. They continued going back and forth like this until Kate and Domino approached, boxes of ornaments in hand.

Even though Jenn could barely see them as she wrestled with the tree, their arrival came as a huge relief."If either of you could give me more helpful positioning advice than Darcy here that would be great."

 

“Move it just slightly right” Kate advised, letting She-Hulk finally put the tree down neatly on the stand.

“Thanks” Jenn said.

Darcy looked offended that her assistance wasn’t appreciated. “I helped you get close” she remarked, feeling embarrassed.

Maybe it was the festive spirit in the air, but Jenn didn’t try and argue with her. Instead she just agreed: “You did”

“So what can we do to help?” Domino asked.

"Well, I guess now we should start putting the lights up." Jenn replied. "If anyone has a better eye for aesthetics than me, I'll take direction."

Working together, the prisoners decorated the tree with lights, baubles, tinsel, and even an orange-jumpsuited angel perched on top. With strings of lights running from the tree to the guard walkways around the yard, the effect was as beautiful as it was absurd. It was the most welcoming the yard had ever looked. All that was left was who got the honour of turning the lights on. It was Kate who suggested Wanda should be the one and she received no objections. At once the witch was summoned by the guards.

Standing before the marvelous Christmas tree, carefully ornately decorated far beyond her expectations for The Raft, Wanda uncharacteristically exclaimed: “It looks beautiful!” For the first time since Westview she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness as she accepted the honour and plugged in the lights. The tree and all its surrounding cords immediately came alight in spectacular fashion. Wanda couldn’t help but feel this Christmas was going to be the best it could possibly be given where they were.

—————————————————————

“This is the shittiest Christmas ever” Jessica Jones said moodily as she emerged from her shift in the mines, chains jingling like little bells with every tired step she took. Not even the decorations she saw on her way into the cellblock could put a smile on her dour face. What did liven her spirit a bit was the fact that she had a contraband flask of whiskey stashed under her pillow that she planned to down.

“I don’t know about that. I’ve been asking Santa for the sight of you in orange for a long time” Trish replied, walking beside her adopted-sister with a decisively more cheery outlook on things. Although, she wasn’t too dissimilar from Jessica in the fact that the decor didn’t mean much to her. No, what had her so happy was something a bit more…selfish. “Fun fact: the rate of depression increases in incarcerated women around the holidays”

Jessica narrowed her eyes at her in annoyed confusion. “How is that fun?”

“The more depressed people are, the more they turn to ways of feeling better. And believe me, people will do anything to feel better. That’s where I come in” Trish was of course referring to the higher number of drugs she’d managed to sell to desperate people. “I am basically rolling in cigarettes right now”

Jessica didn’t have the energy or…well energy again really to argue with Trish about the morality of that. A sarcastic “good for you” was the most she had in her to say. She was just a few steps away from her cell now.

“It’s actually good for us. Because you’re going to come with me since you’re my bodyguard” Trish smiled.

“It’s Christmas Eve. I’m not helping you. I’m going to drink what I can and then I’m going to pass out” Jessica said. Trish was right about seasonal depression leading people to alleviate it in the way they knew best, and there was no better example of that than Jessica who solidly planned to drink her way into the new year.

Trish was offended that her co-worker refused to help. “I’m sure Vanessa would love to hear that you just didn’t show up…” she threatened.

But the only response she received from Jessica was a middle finger as the detective walked into her room and prepared to crash. But first a drink. Except, there was only one issue…

“What the fuck?!” Jessica exclaimed, seeing that her blanket and pillow were missing. Worst of all: so was her whiskey.

—————————————————————

Sylvie and Natasha had been working down the lengthy list at a surprisingly efficient speed. For those on the list Wanda hadn’t been able to ask what they wanted directly, the unlikely pairing gave careful consideration. Hot sauce for Yelena, a cloak for Enchantress, an arrow necklace for Kate, and a non-armored curias for Sif were among a myriad of others. The Phoenix had asked specifically for “a memory of your first love, your first hate, your most brilliant excitement and your greatest terror” but that wasn’t really possible to give so they got her a new jumpsuit instead. And then there were specific requests on the part of others, like Kitty who’d said Rogue would like an all-black jumpsuit (this story is mostly non-canon so I’m not going to bother worrying about uniform regulations), or Riri who asked for a few ‘toys’ for herself and Shuri. Strangely, both Natasha and Sylvie were already marked off, implying their gifts had already been decided.

You may be wondering if things were awkward between the spy and the goddess, given that Natasha had famously previously fought to stop Loki in 2012. The answer was a resounding no. She’d known for some time that Sylvie wasn’t Loki. Not her Loki at least. There was a massive lack of the needed pompous narcissistic grandeur to the woman that went beyond a person simply changing over time.

“I'm still not sure about what to get for Big-Tits” Sylvie returned to the topic of Darcy, someone she’d struggled to find something for previously.

Nat rested against the conveyor belt for a moment, busy in thought. “A better bra?” she asked, knowing Darcy was one of very few inmates allotted one. Bras hadn’t always been banned at The Raft. Back in 2022 – when Natasha was freshly arrived at the ocean prison – they’d been a standard part of the uniform. That was until the Black Widow assassin used the underwire to stab someone in Hydra who didn’t understand that no meant no. Ever since then they’d been strictly forbidden, except for Darcy who’d managed to sleep with Renee for one. Unfortunately what she got was a size too small.

"Interesting. We do have more materials to work with, and she has complained of her current one itching..." Sylvie responded, noting that as Darcy’s present. The goddess didn’t really understand what the purpose of the gift-giving was, but she’d been to enough worlds to know just to go along with the customs.

“For Wanda, we can probably find DVDs of some of her favorite sitcoms” Natasha remembered the witch’s favorites pretty well since she seemingly watched them on repeat while staying at the Avenger’s Compound. When Nat went to add it to the list, she noted that it should allegedly be from Jean. She didn’t want Wanda to end up the victim of the mutant’s jealousy after all.

They continued coming up with ideas for another hour before Sylvie asked: “So, Natasha...Do you mind if I ask some questions about this whole 'Christmas' thing?"

 

“I’m not really a leading expert on what a normal Christmas is like, but sure” Nat replied. Christmases in the Red Room were non-existent. The most festive thing Natasha saw there was the sight of bright red blood on fresh snow when she was 12, she’d been forced to fight another one of the girls and – to put it gently – failures weren’t worth keeping alive. In Nat’s adult life, she saw the holiday as being just like every other day.

"To be frank, it wasn't a thing last time I was regularly on Midgard. The Winter Solstice was, is it a continuation of that?" The last winter she’d seen on the Midgard of her world had been as a child, brought alongside her sibling by Odin during the Yule festival. As gods, they’d been met with gloriously gory sacrifices in their honour. It was a fond memory.

“I think so. I don’t really know the exact order of things, but if I remember correctly it was a pagan festival taken by the Roman Empire and changed to fit their religion by making it about the birth of their god’s son” Nat tried to explain as much as she could without having to go over the entire shift from polytheism to monotheism, something rather awkward to explain to a living, breathing pagan god.

Sylvie nodded along, interested in her explanation. "I see. Thank you. Are there any particular behaviours or rituals, besides the gift giving, that I should be aware of?

“There’s a lot. Decorating a tree with lights, hanging stockings above a fire, making dinner, building snowmen, setting cookies and milk out for Santa” The spy remembered the basic American Christmas details she was taught just in case she was assigned to infiltrate the United States. She even had a few fake holiday memories that she could tell with a convincingly nostalgic tone if need be.

"Santa?" Sylvie interrupted, this being a whole facet of the holiday that had gone completely unexplained to her.

“Right, you wouldn’t know who that is. He’s a mythical figure with a long white beard who wears red and he travels the world in one night on a sleigh pulled by reindeer to give gifts to kids. He also has helpers called elves which you heard about earlier” Natasha’s tone dripped with a heavy verbal eye-roll as she relayed the absurd details.

Sylvie only shrugged. It wasn’t the weirdest deity she’d heard of.

—————————————————————

Kate was decorating Cellblock C alone at the moment, Domino having arranged to be searched alongside Jean for some strange reason. The archer didn’t mind though. Sure the other inmates were getting off work and returning to their cells and she didn’t have the protection or her scary Russian assassin friend, but it was the holidays. Surely no one was going to try and prey on her today, right?

Wrong. Kate looked down for a moment to grab a stocking she could hang and the next thing she knew she could feel someone wrapping one arm around her chest to grope her and the other down going down her thigh. “Look at that, an early present just for me. Yelena isn’t here to protect you now…” they whispered in her ear.

Kate tensed, not knowing whether she should stay still or fight. Every instinct in her wanted to fight back, but she remained frozen in place as they fiddled with the zipper to her jumpsuit. It wasn’t until it was halfway open that her senses returned to her and she managed to break free long enough to spin around and see who her assaulter was: Elektra.

She’d been on her way back from the mines when she saw Kate bent over and she just couldn’t resist. Sure she had a harem, but there was just something so tempting about stealing from Yelena Belova. She had to have the girl. Blowing off a warning from Cassandra Webb, she’d gone ahead and resolved to make the archer her bitch.

“C-Come on, It’s Christmas Eve. Can’t you please just leave me alone for today?” Kate attempted to plead as she stepped back against the wall.

Elektra only smirked. “And miss a chance like this?

Kate attempted to take a swing at her, but her arm was caught mid throw. “You won’t be a fighter for long” Elektra taunted, it requiring no effort at all for the trained assassin to re-apprehend Kate in her tight, handsy embrace. “We’re going to have so much fun…”

—————————————————————

“I love the holidays” Rio grinned as she danced around a very unhappy Agatha in their cell. Having already stripped her ex naked, she reached into a box of baubles, carefully assessing which she would choose. Taking a shiny green one in hand, she warned: “this might tickle” just before she put the hook into one of the little holes that spotted the chastity belt that still caged Agatha’s pussy. She paused to look at it dangling from the belt and then she began to whistle carols (none of which had been heard since The Black Death) while digging for another ornament. Up went a red one, and then a golden one, then a blue snowflake, and so on. Next came a very thin string of garland that she delicately weaved through whatever gaps she could find, letting its itchy bristles rub against Agatha’s seemingly-constantly wet womanhood as a means of taunting the witch.

“You’re psychotic” Agatha sneered with disgust, looking down in frustration at what Rio was doing to her. She couldn’t help but flinch as an ornament hook rubbed against her labia.

“Sweet words won’t get you out of this, dear. I’m having way too much fun. Now hold still or…” Rio conjured a dagger out of nowhere “...I’ll slit your throat”

Agatha felt the sting of Rio adding another item, this time digging at the top rim of her cage. “You left me alone for centuries, why did you come back? To torment me?” She asked with clear spite in her tone.

Rio only laughed. “Just think of how many Christmases together we missed. I’m just rekindling our relationship” She stepped behind Agatha and pulled out a small string of lights which she then began to add to the already overdone decor. “It’s too bad you didn’t get yourself belted sooner”

“It’s your fault. You knew this would happen” Agatha accused. Rio only gave her a playful shrug and flashed a mischievous smile. Annoyed by the cavalier attitude, Agatha continued: “After what you did I deserved to be warned”

“Maybe. But you love me anyway” Rio got on her knees and pressed her tongue against the cold metal that assured Agatha would never cum again. Licking her way all the way up to her ex’s tits, she tauntingly bit at her nipple, only restrained enough to not actually hurt…too much. Then she began to kiss it, flicking her tongue against Agatha’s hardened pink mound.

Agatha could feel the burning in her core grow hotter, yearning harder for a release she logically knew wouldn’t come but which she absolutely needed. Growing excited, she couldn’t help but moan…which Rio decided was the cue to stop. Just like that it came crashing down again, killing any delusion of possibly getting off. “I hate you” she spat.

“I hate you too” Rio replied without a beat, speaking those words in the same cadence one might say ‘I love you’
She stepped back again and admired her work on the heavy breathing witch, the gaudy twinkling Christmas tree-esque chastity belt on display in all its festive glory. Ornaments now filled any holes or potential openings they possibly could, with lights and garland twisted around. It looked awful but Agatha was relieved that at least it was over. Rio had had her fun but there was only so much one could fit…except Rio thought it was missing something. “Candy canes” she smiled, holding up a box of them.

Returning to the surface, Yelena was astonished by the decor that filled the usually depressingly futuristic halls of The Raft and she wanted to find Kate, but first she needed to eat…

“No! I don’t have the patience for this today. Get out!” Wanda hissed at Yelena as the cooking instruments all around rattled and shook, stirring pots and pans and cutting up vegetables. Cooking went a lot faster when she used a bit of spellwork. She was still very busy and she absolutely did not have time to deal with someone breaking into her kitchen.

Yelena scoffed, insulted that she wasn’t allowed to simply come and go as she pleased, but wasn’t about to challenge a mentally unstable witch currently holding a knife. The spy was usually pretty hungry after spending a few hours toiling away, but apparently she’d just have to starve!

Since eating clearly wasn’t an option, Yelena decided she’d go and find Kate. When she found her she was on her knees trying to refuse to lap away at Elektra's pussy, with Elektra's hand laced into her ponytail pressing her face against her cunt. The assassin had a satisfied smirk on her face as she moaned, feeling on top of the world at the moment. But that was about to change.

In a fury Yelena marched over and pulled Kate back before punching Elektra across the face as hard as she could. The assassin barely had time to recover before she was met with another blow, and then being shoved against the wall with her right arm being twisted behind her back.

“Did you cum yet?” Yelena asked in a chillingly calm voice as she kept Elektra’s face pressed to the wall.
Elektra chuckled. She knew she’d fucked up but she wasn’t about to admit it. “Maybe. Why do you care? Can’t share?”she foolishly teased…met in turn with her arm being pulled until it felt like it could go no further without breaking. The pain was intense and she quickly replied: “N-No. I didn’t”

Yelena smiled and loosened the strain a bit. “That is good…for you. I would have broken your arm if you did” She spun Elektra around until she was leaned face to face with Kate. “Say sorry to Kate Bishop” The spy insisted.

Kate stared into Elektra’s pained eyes, still horrified by what the woman had just tried making her do.

“I’m sorry” Elektra angrily sighed, sounding about as genuine as a women’s prison was straight.

 

Yelena twisted her arm again “Try again”

“Ow! Ow! I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Elektra screeched, knowing Yelena snapping her arm clean out of its socket wasn’t a hollow threat. The spy absolutely wasn’t above violence.

Kate shyly nodded, feeling disgusted inside. “I-I accept your apology” She quickly got up and fixed her clothes. She wanted to move on from this as quickly as possible.

“That wasn’t so hard, was it? Now bend over more” Yelena commanded, shoving Elektra into the position;

“What?” Elektra exclaimed. The next thing she knew her jumpsuit and underwear were down to the floor and Yelena was coming up behind her with a sadistic sense of glee about her. She’d retrieved something from the box of Christmas decor but Elektra couldn’t see what it was. The sense of mystery only made this so much worse.

The item she couldn’t see was a long, comically thick peppermint stick, which Yelena slowly admired before ramming it up Elektra with considerable force. The fact that she’d taken things back there before was only a slight relief because the object penetrated her quickly…but definitely not painlessly. The assassin screamed in agony, losing all dignity she possibly could have. “Fuck you!” She cursed frantically as if it would help alleviate the pain.

Kate watched and honestly she didn’t feel that bad for Elektra. It was actually a little cathartic to see the woman who was so tough and frightening moments ago now a yelling mess – and because of something as silly as a candystick no less. Maybe there were some situations where Yelena’s sadism was warranted…

With Elektra struggling to walk away, Yelena turned to her cellmate. “Are you ok, Kate Bishop?”

“Me? Yeah I’m fine. I think you did way worse to her than she did to me” Kate replied, adrenaline from the struggle starting to settle.

—————————————————————

Finishing off Jessica’s flask of whiskey with a swig, Maya stepped into her cell holding a blanket and pillow with a little bow she’d stolen perched on top. Cassie was already in their cell, sitting on the floor solemnly with her head between her knees. She missed her home, her parents, and Christmas trees that weren’t surrounded by walls with barbed wire. Feeling down, she tried to make plans with Amy, but Amy had ditched her when the Stepford Cuckoos offered her the possibility of ‘slipping down her chimney’ if she ‘earned her way on to the naughty list’. Amy didn’t understand what either euphemism really meant but she was all in nonetheless, abandoning her friend in the process.

Maya noticed her slave looked rather glum and so she excitedly held out the blanket and pillow, non-verbally saying she’d gotten the girl a present.

Cassie looked up and her eyes glistened at the uncharacteristically thoughtful gesture. “Thank you so much!” She exclaimed, surprised, as she accepted the present. The blanket she had currently was Maya’s masturbation blanket and it felt immensely wrong and smelled worse. But this one looked freshly washed. “Wow…this is so nice of you, Maya”

She felt immensely grateful, both for the gift and the fact that Maya was having one of her random moments of being nice. Rubbing the soft blanket against her face, she hugged her present tight. She’d never been so excited to get bedding as a Christmas present. Why was Maya staring at her? She recognised the look, Maya expected something. Here she was cherishing her gift…and she didn’t have anything for Maya. “Oh…I-I didn’t know we were getting each other anything…I’m so sorry! Please Maya! I-I’ll find you something”

Maya rolled her eyes, clearly hurt. She ripped the pillow out of Cassie's grasp and threw it on the top bunk, taking back half of the present to keep for herself since clearly her cellmate was so selfish. Instead Cassie could use her butt as a pillow as punishment. At least she let Cassie keep the blanket.

—————————————————————

“It’s really deep…” Karen said, face pressed against Elektra’s shapely tanned ass. She didn’t want to spend her Christmas Eve licking her prison mommy’s crack trying to pull a peppermint stick out, but it wasn’t like she had much choice in the matter. Despite how much she worked her tongue, and she’d been going for an hour now, she couldn’t seem to pull it loose. The stick was big and jammed in tight, Yelena probably had shoved it as far as it could go.

“I don’t care! Just get it out!” Elektra snapped, laying on the bottom bunk with her clothes off and butt presented. She felt humiliated, violated, and sore. Those were all things her bitches were supposed to feel, not her. She hated to imagine what onlookers may think.

Peppermint was a flavour Karen really liked, but she already knew that the taste was pretty much forever ruined now that she’d paired it with the disgusting taste of Elektra’s butt. This was yet another thing she liked ruined by prison.

Cassandra Webb sat in the corner beside Faiza Hussain watching it all play out. “I tried to tell you that it was a bad idea…” She started to say, but was met with the most soul-crushing death glare from Elektra. The sight made Cassandra’s head throw back as she suddenly had a vision of Elektra, now with the item out of her butt, pushing her against the bars and shoving the peppermint stick up her now.

—————————————————————

"This collar limits my usually infinite vision of time and space...but I still see many possibilities. I can foresee over 300 delightful ways in which you die by my hand, officer” The Phoenix said in a dark and sinister voice as a guard took her by the shoulder and bent her over the exam table. Despite how much power she held within the inmate population, she was still an inmate and that meant she was no less a toy for the guard’s delight than Wanda was hers. She was helpless to the spank to the ass she received…or the latex-clad fingers abruptly being rammed up ass. Usually she left Jean to experience this humiliation but she was bored.

“300? That’s it? For an ancient goddess made of cosmic force or whatever you’re not very creative” the guard teased, unfazed by the threat.

"It would be more if you were more interesting." The Phoenix snarked back. Admittedly she enjoyed the guard’s work, shamelessly bucking her hips to the fingers digging for any contraband the cosmic-entity-contained-within-a-human may possess. She hated subservience, but why should a god not take pleasure from mortals?

Shallow gasps escaped The Phoenix’s lips as the guard continued to grow rougher, giving no consideration for what delightful pain it may cause. She clawed at the table as her body swayed from the force of rhythmic thrusts, the guard’s fingers slipping in and out repeatedly. The convict bent down as far as she could go and, excitedly, she began to rub her now very wet womanhood against the lip of the table.

Just as the guard thrusted in again, The Phoenix came with a roar, spraying the table with no care for the poor inmate who would have to clean it up later. She’d gotten what she wanted out of this search and so now Jean was given back control.

Domino was slammed down next to Jean and her guard began the same process The Phoenix had just undergone. "So, first off, Merry Christmas” Domino said with a wince, turning to look at Jean while her ebony rear was penetrated.

“Merry Christmas” Jean returned, a little less enthusiastically given that her orgasm had once again been stolen by her other half. The only relief she felt was the possibility that one orgasm would be enough to keep The Phoenix satisfied and that she could use Wanda to get off without any interruption later.

"I wanted to talk to you because I wrote a little something this afternoon. Something I thought you could do something with, given your abilities..." Domino propositioned between breaths. Maybe it was having to work on Christmas Eve or they were just horny, but her guard was feeling extra rough today.

Domino didn’t have to share aloud the poem she’d written because Jean gave her mind a read. Her response was mild, but she couldn't deny that she was impressed. She knew where Domino was going with this… “Normally I don’t take requests on what I fill people’s heads with, but lucky for you I am in a festive mood. I’ll find something to do with this”

—————————————————————

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through The Raft
Not an inmate was stirring, only nightshift staff;
The stockings were hung by the cell-bars with care,
In hopes that the Scarlet Witch would soon be there;”

Christmas Eve night came and the decorated cellblock lay entirely quiet. All the inmates were sound asleep in their bunks. Not even the moans of two lusty prisoners could be heard, or the subtle sloshes of a particularly bored and pent up lady. It was a completely silent night.

“The inmates were nestled all snug in their cells,
Dreaming dreams of their free lives, before this hell;
And Weaver in her office, and I at her feet,
Had just settled after her cunt I did eat”

Pussy juice on her lips and kneeled under Officer Weaver’s desk, Domino found herself in a familiar scene. The narrating voice of Jean read aloud the poem she’d shared, and, grinning up at Weaver, she knew this surely would be a dream to remember. The inmate’s clothes were undone down to her waist while from the waist down Weaver’s pants were gone entirely.

“When suddenly, there was a general alarm
Weaver ran, and I followed, for what was the harm,
To the monitor she went, while I took pains,
Not to trip, as I followed in my short chains,”

Just as the commentary instructed, Domino stumbled along in her tight vibranium shackles. Padding along, her steps were small but quick, despite how the cold metal pressed against her ankles, in an effort to keep up with Weaver’s dash to the monitors. Neither had bothered to get dressed of course.

Outside The Raft the winds whipped with a bitingly icy fervour, dancing within its gale a fearsome snowstorm. Faster and faster it roared with a holler, beckoning tempest to brew on the rough ocean waves down below.

“The moon, as we saw, on the hologram screen,
Gave the prison's steel hull a dazzling sheen,
And, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an asgardian sleigh, and eight ponygirl reindeer,”

Jennifer Walters had fallen asleep pretty soundly, reverting to human form as usual. As she started to dream, she realised...she was colder than usual. And were those sleigh bells? She groaned as she looked down at herself, in a brown corset and bondage straps, her arms behind her back with binders. Her breasts, pussy and ass were all on display, of course, and she was wearing ridiculous boots. More to the point, she seemed to be flying...in a snow-storm...and reined next to Captain Marvel in an identical outfit.

Similarly confused, Carol Danvers tossed and turned in her bed in the infirmary ward, having spent most of her day medicated she knew little of the festive cheer that had spread around The Raft. She’d been dreaming of strange fragments of her life on Earth before she gained her powers, so when she suddenly was flying midair with straps on…it came as a bit of a surprise to say the least.

Sylvie Laufeydottir was usually an easy sleeper. One needed to be when one slept in some of the places she’d had to. Her dreams tended to be of apocalypses and mythic battles, and Loki, and they tended to be pretty lucid...but as she slowly emerged into tonight's dreamscape, she realised she was not in control.

Riri Williams cuddled naked with Shuri. Usually she dreamed of making wild inventions, ideas she couldn't manifest in prison, but her perfect lab in Wakanda started to give way to something else entirely. As for Shuri, she knew something was wrong when her idyllic Wakandan summer turned to darkness and cold winds.

Often Valkyrie dreamed of glorious and not-so-glorious battles from her past. Through the flames of Muspelheim or the frosts of Hel, but tonight there was no blade in her grasp and she was seemingly bound.

Darcy’s dreams were always very weird, whether they be her naked and getting chased by clowns or fantasies about Thor, but this one was especially weird. She was flying in a blizzard? Ok yeah sure

Dazzler had literally no inkling of what had happened today, and so it came as a great shock when she felt ponygirl straps (which she recognised as such because of a few dalliances of the yearly Hellfire Club orgy) on her skin.

And at the reins was Wanda Maximoff herself. Her sleep was almost as chaotic as the magic she once had. She could be tortured, caring for her sons, or being abused by The Phoenix in her sleep, but dashing through the skies in an eight-ponygirl reindeer open sleigh was certainly a new one.

They each could hear Jean’s voice in the air, reciting the poem with a sultry smirk in her tone that still managed to sound convincingly threatening. "What the fuck?" is what Dazzler tried to say, discovering that she had a bit in her mouth

“With a hot bombshell driver, a phoenix's bitch,
I knew in a moment she must be the witch.
More rapid than eagles her ponies they came,
And she whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:”

Wanda figured this must be some mental construct created by her girlfriend and, seemingly not involving painful memories of losing her children or Vision, simply chose to go along with it. She couldn’t help but smile at the jolly absurdity. With a crack of the reigns she called out in tow:
"Now, Dazzler! Now, Darcy! Now Brunnhilde and Sylvie!
On, She-Hulk! on, Carol! on, Riri and Shuri!
To the top of the guard towers! To the bars of the cells!
Now onto A-block and B-block and C-block as well!"

Shuri looked at Riri, absolutely lost as to what was happening. She was flying and mostly naked. There was a weird poem being read in Jean’s voice and her nipples were hard from the cold. Nothing made sense. Wide-eyed and terrified, she was completely at a loss. Meanwhile, Sylvie was starting to semi-understand things. A sleigh and reindeer...her conversation with Nat told her enough to get the cultural reference at least. She didn't know the poem, but could make some educated guesses. She simply shrugged and started galloping like a reindeer. Valkyrie then started to kick beside her, but out of a futile hope it would make things go faster.

Carol’s patience with whatever was happening was quickly waning as the frost hit right through the corset she was wearing. She now kind of missed the infirmary. She was once Captain Marvel, but now she was dressed up in…whatever…this was and apparently the plaything of the witch who cost her an eye.

“As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So into the quinjet hangar, they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and the Scarlet Witch too—”
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the hull
The panting and whining each reigned-up girl.”

Weaver and Domino watched the sleigh land atop The Raft off the monitors with awe. It wasn’t as if any of this dream was a genuine security risk. Besides, there was something genuinely heartwarming about seeing Wanda let out a laugh as she hopped off the sleigh with a mighty sack full of presents in her grasp. With a twist of her hand and flicker of her fingers, red chaos magic circled around her and then she appeared beneath the ventilation shaft.

“...Ok now we should probably follow her” Weaver said, dashing to Cellblock A and leaving Domino to try and keep up.

“Down the ventilation shaft the witch came with a bound.
And was dressed all in orange, from her head to her feet,
Save for a santa-hat she wore as a treat,
A bundle of toys she had flung on her back,
And she looked like a pedler just opening her pack.
Her eyes—how they twinkled! her dimples, how merry!
Her hair was like roses, her ass like a cherry!
Her droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the power of infinity made her skin glow;
The stump of a cigarette tight in her teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled her head like a wreath;
She had a tight body and a firm little belly
And tits that could shake, like a bowl full of jelly.
She was bubbly and happy, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw her, in spite of myself;”

Wanda blushed slightly at the flattering description Jean’s narrating voice gave her. Her prison mommy almost never actually said how beautiful she found her. The witch didn’t know that technically Jean didn’t think that but instead Domino had (since she’d written the poem).

Rushing into Cellblock A came Weaver and Domino, but Wanda only smiled softly at them in mild embarrassment and then gave them a wink.

“A wink of her eye and a twist of her head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work,
And gave gifts to all inmates; then turned with a jerk,”

Down through Cellblocks A to D Wanda filled the stockings with colourful presents, laughing to herself all the way. It was the happiest dream she’d had in a very long time. Out in the yard the ponygirl reindeers landed with a bound, dashing through snow and ice. They would now have to wait here for the Scarlet Santa to return and hopefully let them all go. Experimentally, Dazzler tried going "mpph" into the gag three times in succession. That was the safe-word at the Hellfire Club. It didn’t seem to work here though.

Carol and Valkyrie shared a look of annoyance and humiliation at this whole scenario just as Domino entered the yard, grinning and waving at the bound up inmates.

Wanda returned, task now complete. She tossed her emptied bag atop the sleigh and stared at Domino just as the doors all around opened with dozens of armed guards led by Weaver charged out to apprehend the sleigh of women. “Cute look girls, but I’m afraid this is definitely against a few rules” the lusty guard grinned. “Hands in the air, witch”

“As guards rushed in to subdue the intruder,
She gave in with a grunt, and nothing ruder
She and the ponies were led out of the yard,
And away they all went to be strip-searched quite hard.
But I heard her exclaim, ere she went out of sight—”

The cuffs locked themselves around Wanda’s wrists but she couldn’t have been happier at the moment. “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

—————————————————————

Darcy awoke with a start from her insane fever-dream, remembering that she was still topless with Ghost using her tits as her pillow when she accidentally shoved her mistress awake. Oh and it was Christmas Morning now.

Ghost startled awake. "Good morning." she said, not yet clocking that anything was up.

“Ok so I just had the absolute weirdest dream. Like really weird” Darcy immediately exclaimed. “I was bound and dressed like a reindeer and forced to pull Scarlet Witch’s sleigh”

Ghost raised her eyebrows. "Dressed like a reindeer?" She wasn’t sure why she focused on that detail specifically.

“Yep” Darcy nodded. “Dressed like a reindeer. I had these straps on, a thing in my mouth, and fake antlers. Oh also a weirdly kinky version of Twas The Night Before Christmas was being narrated”

Ghost looked bemused. "Well, I guess you have that on the brain. Do try and remember the version of the poem for later."

-

Shuri looked at Riri as they awoke naked in each-others' embrace. "So..." she said awkwardly. "...Did you just have a really weird dream too?"

“…Reindeer?” Riri asked, still bewildered

"Yeah." Shuri’s cheeks burned. "So...we both had it. That means telepathy shenanigans. But...why?"

-

Sylvie woke up and dropped from her bunk to greet Brunnhilde. "I assume I wasn't alone in having a dream about strange poetry, sleighs and corsets?"

“You aren’t…” Valkyrie stretched her arms and let out a loud yawn. “I wonder which mutant telepath created it”

"Whoever it was, I hope she didn't give Weaver ideas about doing it for real."

-

Jean opened her eyes and looked down to the bunk below. Wanda was already awake, smiling to herself.

“Thank you for that” the witch said graciously, feeling slightly more in love with Jean than she’d felt in a while. Maybe somewhere deep down her mutant mistress cared about her? The answer was no but don’t tell Wanda that.

Jean rolled her eyes. "Don't get used to it. Happy Christmas."

“Happy Christmas” Wanda replied, just glad to see her girlfriend in a slightly better mood for once.

—————————————————————

After a breakfast in line with usual prison expectations, the inmates who would usually be sent to their labour assignments were instead allowed to go to the yard where hundreds of orange boxes beneath the tree awaited them.

Shuri opened her present and found a tin bracelet, with tribal signifiers of the Panther tribe that almost made her cry. It wasn’t the vibranium original, of course, but even the facsimile of her Wakandan identity was a rare treasure in this place. She smiled, put it on...then saw Riri open her present and what lay within made Shuri’s cheeks warm up.

“Cool bracelet” Riri adored the intricately engraved piece of jewelry adorning her girlfriend’s wrist. She then tilted her gift towards her to show the ‘toys’ rattling about within.

Shuri bit her lip. Now would have either been a really good, or really bad time to say something bratty.
With a naughty smile, she said: "Surprising you didn't ask Santa for a speaker to throw at people, huh?"

“Oh you’re lucky we’re opening presents right now” Riri remarked. “Can’t say I’m not gonna correct that when we get back to our cell though…” she playfully fired back, pulling one of the items from the box and threatening Shuri with it.

“Here you go!” Gwendolyn Poole over-enthusiastically shoved a small box into a groggy Laura Kinney’s hands.

Laura felt put on the spot. She didn't like being the center of attention, but Gwen now repeatedly chanting “open it” annoyed her into complying. If it would make the fangirl shut up it would be worth it. Ripping open the box she suddenly paused, taken aback by the perfect gift contained within. Resting on a bed of wrapping paper were a pair of pink and light blue sunglasses that would look entirely unusual on the angsty mutant…but she loved them. She had no idea how Gwendolyn knew that she’d stolen a pair just like them when she was on the run, but It didn’t matter.

Gwendolyn beamed with unblinking eyes, creepy as ever. “Going by that little smile you’ve got going on I’m gonna go ahead and guess you must absolutely LOVE them! They’re your trademark after all” She mused aloud. “...So what’d you get me? It better be at least half as good as what I got you”

Laura put on the sunglasses, feeling incredibly cool. “My gift for you is every time I refrain from gutting you”

“I love hot sauce” Yelena exclaimed, opening her box to find something she sorely missed. Meals had been lacking since she got locked up but it would be a great addition. She cherished the bottle while beside her Kate put on her new necklace.

 

Natasha smirked at her sister, knowing it was the perfect thing for Yelena. But what was in her box? Slowly she opened the box expecting something simple like maybe a new jumpsuit, only to be staggered to find a pair of orange ballet slippers. With a soft smile on her face she looked up to Wanda in gratitude at the amazing gift. Maybe Christmas wasn’t so bad…

Agatha rolled her eyes as she opened her gift, not trusting anything Rio could possibly be giving her. It didn’t take clairvoyance to guess that it would be some very un-funny joke at her expense. Pulling out her new possession, she grimaced at her ex when what should she find but a big black lump of coal. Having successfully annoyed Agatha, Rio blew her a kiss and then walked off into the crowd.

“So um like I know neither of us celebrate this holiday…but I like heard Wanda was doing gifts and I got you something” Kitty handed Rogue a box covered in black wrapping paper.

“Kitty, why are you puttin’ this on me? Now I’ll feel bad because I don’t have anythin’ for you…” Rogue replied, never really knowing what to say when people gave her things.

Kitty sighed. “Just open it”

Undoing the box Rogue found something that made her dark heart skip a beat. “This is dreadful!” she said in a complimentary tone, holding up her new all-black jumpsuit.

But not everyone shared in Rogue’s rare enthusiasm for a new outfit. Titania had been overjoyed to get a present (because why wouldn’t she like getting things?) but what she found really killed her festive cheer. “Ew! What the fuck is this?” she whined, finding a red and white striped jumpsuit instead of anything she might actually like. She handled the outfit like the mere act of touching its cheap material risked infection.

“...Yeah I don’t know how to put a positive light on that” Dazzler chuckled, strumming at the strings of her new guitar.

 

“Thick horizontal lines are not flattering!” Titania continued to rant to her friend, insulted.

 

Jessica Jones, standing moodily in the back observing everything, drank from a cup of spiked eggnog. Trish had gotten her the booze, and the eggnog came courtesy of a guard. Oh and she now had a brand new orange scarf around her throat that she quietly really liked. She watched as Valkyrie found within her box a small crown, rather similar to one a child may have minus the Norse runes, and immediately put it atop her head.

“All hail the king” Sylvie quipped to her crown-wearing friend as she opened a present of her own. There was a flowing cloak made of the same material as Sylvie’s jumpsuit with a few runic patterns sewn around the rim. Starting from the right the first line reads ‘prisoner,’ the next simply was ‘Sylvie,’ and the last was ‘Weaver’s bitch.’ The Goddess of Mischief appreciated her favourite guard’s show of affection.

Wanda held a box of The Dick Van Dyke Show DVDs close to her chest, giving Jean a loving look. The dream and now this? She had no idea what had come over her girlfriend but she wished it would last. In all actuality Jean was just as surprised by the gift as Wanda though. She knew Natasha was behind it and she didn’t like the move on her girl one bit. Something would have to be done…but tomorrow. It was Christmas. Revenge could wait.

Officer Weaver, big wrapped gift in hand, emerged from the crowd to greet She-Hulk. “Merry Christmas!” The guard announced, shoving the present at the inmate.

Weaver’s enthusiasm already made Jenn nervous as she opened the box with trepidation. What she found within was far worse than anything she could imagine though. There was a very large green bikini, a long cord of flashing red and green lights, yellow tinsel, a couple candy canes, and a green hairband with a comically large golden star on top. Jenn gave the guard a withering look, silently saying 'really?'

“I put in a lot of work finding the perfect present for you, but in all honesty this one comes from Titania. She knew exactly what to get you when I asked for some ideas” Weaver said.

Jenn saw Titania tauntingly wave at her from across the yard. She wanted to punch her but chose to try and ignore the influencer. "I don't suppose I get any choice in the matter?"

“We both know you’re smart enough to know the answer. Now put it on” Weaver glared at her with a hint of disappointment that Jenn could possibly not like being humiliated by this gift.

Jenn sighed, and began changing into the ridiculous costume, stripping out of her leotard in front of everyone to put it on. Even amidst all the merriment, a massive green giant stripping naked and then putting on a green bikini took hold of just about everyone’s attention that made her blush deep green. She met Weaver's gaze as she stood dressed in the small bikini. "Merry Christmas." she said through gritted teeth.

The outfit didn’t fit right at all, in fact it was three sizes too small, both pieces far too tight for the gamma-irradiated hero. In fact, so small were they that they barely managed to conceal anything at all. They did the complete bare minimum of coverage. She-Hulk’s big green nipples practically pierced through the thin fabric, and down below it left her with a cameltoe so bad she might as well have chosen to just walk around naked from the waist down. Worst of all, she knew she wouldn’t be allowed to change out of the outfit until the 26th.

Weaver pulled out the components to start decorating her. First using the blaring lights to bind her, then the tinsel wrapped around the spaces between, and then she grabbed ahold of her shoulder and climbed up to place the star on top of her head. Jenn began a half-formed crack about how well needless humiliation fit with the holiday cheer, but she only made it one word in before being gagged with a candy cane.

“This would be such a great Christmas card” Weaver remarked as she snapped more than a few pictures of Christmas Tree Jen…and then promptly abandoned her in the middle of the yard to sort out her bindings.

—————————————————————

Everything was set now. The lights all aglow all across the prison and every cellblock decked with boughs of holly, the merry measures of Wanda’s work done and joy to the whole prison! An instrumental ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ played throughout the prison speaker systems as inmates gathered near around a grand table in the cafeteria, food set out on trays before them.

Across the table the inmates chatted over Christmas dinner. Natasha joked with Yelena and attempted to get to know Kate a bit better, bonding in surprise over how good the prison food was for once. Sylvie feasted alongside her Shieldmaidens like vikings in a longhouse. Jessica and Trish reminisced over previous Christmases together, often culminating in Jessica getting black-out drunk but the build up to that point was usually pretty funny. The Arachnachicks discussed their respective lives post-incarceration. Even gangs and bitter rivalries made peace – at least for today. Against all odds, Black Cat and her harem joked and chatted, dropping all animosity they shared for one another.

Watching everyone’s delight, Wanda gathered a spoonful of cranberry sauce and roast. As she took her first bite of the meal she’d prepared, she was allowed to simply feel proud of herself…even if just for a moment.

Chapter 30: All Hail the Queen

Summary:

Part 1 or the slight belated 2024 season final.

Chapter Text

Head held high, Medusa walked with a regality ill-fitting to the world in which she now dwelled. Each step down the hall of cells was careful, restrained and precise in the most lady-like manner. Her countenance was unreadable, something which could easily be perceived as happy or angry – or perhaps a mix of both. Her attention did not linger long on sights of carnality, not swayed even by the triumphant moan which escaped an impassioned Sylvie Laufeydottir’s lips as she came on a dutifully lapping Jane Foster. Nor did she pause to watch as Elektra ripped Karen Page’s jumpsuit wide open and bent the poor journalist over to best showcase the arse she planned to sell. That wasn’t to say though that the former Queen of the Inhumans was completely devoid of the sexual interests which so commonly prevailed in The Raft.

In fact, following close behind her was Ayesha, once the High Priestess of The Sovereign, now reduced to nothing more than bottom bitch of the Galaxy Gals. Wearing only a bright orange bikini made up of scraps from what had once been her jumpsuit, her golden skin, glimmering with a thick layer of sweat from a debilitating five hour shift in the vibranium mines, was for all to see. It was an outfit “given” to her by Carol Danvers after a humiliating defeat and hasteful claiming that the priestess had never truly recovered from. She was sure to express her displeasure…when she wasn’t busy being face-ridden by every manner of incarcerated alien from Krylorians to Eternal. Today she’d been given no choice but to walk with Medusa, who had her leashed around the throat with a strand of rose-red hair that, no matter how hard she tried to break free from, wouldn’t give up. Medusa wasn’t her usual prison mommy. Carol was usually the one to deal with her favourite, and only, golden beauty but, in the Captain’s absence, Medusa had taken it upon herself to deal with her.

“One day you’ll pay dearly for this!” Ayesha spat, ultimately powerless in her position. Despite years of being the prison’s plaything, she’d never quite learned when to shut up. The response she received was simply being dragged along, bare feet stumbling on the concrete ground. It continued like this for the rest of the walk, until they neared their stop. Admittedly, Ayesha was growing increasingly nervous. She’d been sold out many times, but Carol always had the dignity to tell her who to. Medusa offered none of the same courtesy. “W-Who are you selling me to?”

Arriving in the yard, Medusa spun Ayesha in front and released her. The answer to her previous question came when she saw Nebula, Proxima Midnight, and Supergiant sitting together on a bench staring hungrily (the three had begun to associate in the interim of chapters). It was as if a nice shiny Anulax Battery had just been placed in front of three starving Abilisks because they took no pause before grabbing her. Proxima Midnight was the first to approach the cowering Ayesha, grinning sadistically as she practically ripped the bitch’s clothes off.

“Uh-uh. You know the rules. Pay first..” Medusa actually dared wag her finger at Proxima…but reluctantly the tough alien grabbed the usual fee and handed it over. “Pleasure doing business with you.” Medusa smiled, turning her back as Nebula got up and began violating Ayesha.

Quietly she could hear Supergiant murmur, “Prissy bitch” but the queen paid it no mind. She had another stop to make.

—————————————————————

Agatha Harkness groaned in abject misery as her continued attempts at clawing at the chastity belt that clung to her waist failed. No matter what angle she tried, what form of friction she attempted, she simply couldn’t fit her fingers down the thin gap between cold metal and her throbbing pussy. She’d only been back from the mines for an hour and already she’d spent what should have been a nice break glaring at the cruel device like it was some age-old foe. It was during today’s shifts in the mine that the torment truly escalated in the form of a tongue. It moved in rapid laps that stroked against her labia and her clit. But they hadn’t allowed her over the edge. And they hadn’t stopped. She’d almost come numerous times over now. Almost being the operative word. No matter how long they stroked her, no matter how close to the edge she got, she was never allowed over. It was Hell (or Limbo to be more accurate). And so Agatha persisted in loudly trying to break free of her bindings, both through physical and magical means.

“How’s the quest for cumming going?” Rio Vidal asked as she sauntered into their cell, continuing a theme of just randomly showing up. Casually, she leaned back on a chair and began reading through a book she’d found among Agatha’s things. She not-so-secretly enjoyed her ex’s whimpers. Reading the book wasn’t a break between exacerbating the witch’s failed attempts at masturbating so much as it was its own form of infuriating behaviour. All in all, their reunion had been far better than she expected (or did she know this would happen all along?).

Agatha continued her attempts at picking the lock with her fingernail before looking to Rio with uncharacteristic desperation. “I’ve tried everything to get rid of this belt and it won’t come off. This is cruel.” She sighed. “If I had my purple back I could tear this stupid thing in half…but some witches don’t know how to share power” AKA Agatha was still bitter about not being able to sacrifice the lives of her coven. Chastity truly had taught her the error of her ways.

“Are you wanting my help?” Death smirked at the vulnerability. “It used to take me a whole night to make you beg. How the mighty have fallen.” Those nights often involved leaning Agatha over a cauldron and finding some incredibly creative places to put a broomstick, or the blunt end of a scythe if Death was feeling extra kinky.

Agatha knew better than to trust Death when she said she would help, but was far too horny to care. It wasn’t exactly a fair outlook to not trust her, since she’d helped her far more than anyone else in history, but some scars wouldn’t heal. And they had a scar that cut down to the bone. Regardless, Agatha pleaded: “Take it off. Please.”

Rio set her book down and looked intently at her beloathed. “Why would I want to do that? You know how much I love seeing you desperate, sweetheart”

“Then at least help me get off. I’ll do anything. I’ll give you anything-” Agatha moaned and kicked her legs out as the tongue below licked at her clit. She really was getting desperate. The last time she’d begged like this was for something very different.

Rio conjured a dagger that she liked to play with when bored. “I’ve heard that from people a billion times before…just before I reap them.” She turned the tip of the blade against her thumb and drew it down the length of her finger without cutting herself. Hearing a groan from Agatha, who knew the dagger thing was Rio’s way of showing disinterest, she thought it over. “...But because I love you I’ll help. What do you want me to do?”

The purple witch perked up, excited but careful not to show any gratitude. She wasn’t about to go soft just because someone was willing to show her mercy. “I’m sure you must know a way.”

“I do, but it’s so much more fun to see you struggle.” Rio shrugged.

Agatha wasn’t shy to undress, standing up and letting her jumpsuit fall to the floor. Without hesitation she dropped her underwear down her legs and then straddled her locked up crotch against one of the bars. The witch had never been reserved about people seeing her body, and her current state wasn’t about to change that. Giving a confidently unashamed look to the gawking women in the cell across, Agatha breathed in slowly. “I need you to hum against the bar.” she instructed her ex.

“Whatever you say, my love” Rio smiled as she stepped beside Agatha and pressed her clay-cold lips against the vibranium rod. She looked at her with amusement and then she began to hum to the tune of Danse Macabre. It was a very bizarre way of getting a vibration going against the chastity belt.

It was a strange sight to behold, Agatha furiously riding the prison bars while Rio hummed an ominous tune. The sound of metal frantically scraping against metal was absolutely atrocious, but that wasn’t going to stop either witch. Surprisingly, the plan actually kind of worked. The bar vibrated ever-so-softly but it was enough to shake the belt. It was nowhere near the level of force she craved but it was a start. Unfortunately, as ten minutes of trying would prove, a start is all it would be. No amount of rubbing her caged womanhood against the vibrating surface would get her going enough. But she continued trying (and Rio couldn’t run out of breath since she didn’t breathe).

That was when Wanda passed them by. There weren’t many things in prison (or life for that matter) that still made Wanda smile, but seeing how desperate Agatha was to touch herself was incredibly cathartic. She’d been forced to watch Agatha masturbate and then clean up her cum way too many times to count, and now it seemed like it would never be an issue again. She only wished she’d been the one to lock the witch’s pussy up.

Agatha gave the Scarlet Witch a vengeful glare whose impact didn’t quite land given that she was still actively attempting to get off. Rio on the other hand stopped humming for a moment and gave a smile, waving playfully at her ex’s foe. She knew how mad Agatha would be seeing her treat Wanda with any level of friendliness.

To say Wanda’s week had been a bad one would have been an atrocious understatement. The moment of peace she’d found when she played that game with Nat had cost her dearly as Jean was in a foul mood that made her usual unpleasantness seem idyllic. This wrath, an inferno of jealousy, was all consuming and, worst of all, paranoia served to fuel the flames. Not counting shifts in the kitchen, her ‘girlfriend’ hadn’t given her any opportunities to be alone. Not since the first time she’d been sold for cigarettes had Wanda felt so much like Jean’s property.

Functioning off a seven day collective total of nine hours of sleep, sore from being roughly fucked with a strap-on with no care for her own lack of a sexual mood, and nursing a mind-splitting migraine that came from frequently having her thoughts ripped through by The Phoenix, Wanda felt like she was in a haze. Every weak step seemed to pull from energy she simply didn’t have. She was a mess and she didn’t know how to begin the process of fixing that or, even if she did, how she would have the strength to. Maybe she didn’t deserve to feel better. An overwhelming sense of guilt ate away at her, a remembrance of what she’d done in her grief-maddened state.

Today had started with her waking up on the floor (The Phoenix had said she didn’t deserve to sleep on a bed) a little before morning. Not having had any form of relief since she was spectrally assaulted in Spellbound, she wanted to reach for the special box of toys under the bunk and find relief in the vibrator which strangely reminded her of her late-husband…but couldn’t. “If you need to get off, do it in the showers” is what Jean had told her days ago but come showertime and The Phoenix kept Wanda busy washing her until there was no time left. What Wanda ultimately ended up doing as she lay waiting for the day to start was reminiscing about her short perfect life in Westview.

Westview had been on her mind since then. She could remember every intimate detail of her home through the fictional decades. It was her happy place…even though it didn’t really make her all that happy. Sometimes when things were overwhelming she still sought solace in imagining what her family would be like right now. That’s what she was doing as she currently mopped Cellblock C.

“Those floors better be spotless, bitch, or you’ll be using your tongue.” a passing guard taunted the witch with an obnoxious smirk, interrupting a rather pleasant fantasy of what Wanda would make for Tommy and Billy’s breakfast. It was a ridiculous statement since Wanda was a very dedicated worker, but everyone seemed to take pleasure in demeaning her. Everyone that is except Natasha. Just thinking of her made Wanda feel a little less alone.

She stepped away from her cleaning cart for just a minute to deal with something, but when she got back her mop was gone. Furiously walking along, using her magic to drag her cart along behind her, she found the mop at the door of the rec room. It was broken, tip snapped off.

“Which of you thought this was funny?” Wanda snapped immediately, bursting into the room ahead and disrupting the lounging prisoners. Her eyes glew a bright crimson, swirling in shades of chaos. Her week had been shit enough without the tampering of some unfunny asshole who thought they could just steal what little she had. She worked tirelessly to make sure The Raft was as nice as a penitentiary could possibly be, and this was the thanks she got?

Receiving no response she cursed in Sokovian. “I will shove the rest of this up your ass when I find out who did it.”

That threat seemed to get someone’s attention. Sitting up, Illyana Rasputin smiled. “I think I saw her do it.” she pointed at Rogue, busy minding her own business with Kitty in the corner. Wanda now had the culprit…or so she thought.

—————————————————————

Shuri returned to the cellblock exhausted after another day in the mines. It was gruelling work for a princess, but she had gotten better at it. It now only took nearly passing out and the occasional break (provided she should eat Officer Weaver out) to make it through the job. She couldn’t help but think it a bit sad that going back to her prison cell was somehow some big relief. The only saving grace of going back was returning to the comforting embrace of her prison mommy who patiently awaited her return.

Tiredly stumbling in, Shuri couldn’t take her eyes off Riri. Her girlfriend/prison mommy looked up, setting a book she’d been reading aside. “Hey babe. How was work?” Riri asked.

"Tiring as always, but at least it ended sooner than usual. Not sure why." Shuri replied as she snuggled up next to Riri on the bunk, sighing contentedly at her touch. If you’re wondering why her shift ended early, Domino happened to find enough vibranium to make up for a day’s work.

“Well I’m happy you’re back early. It can get lonely in this cell by myself.” Riri smiled as Shuri rested her head on her shoulder. “Been a little bored…”

Shuri instantly recognised that tone and chuckled. "I mentioned the part where I'm tired, right?” The princess asked, unzipping her jumpsuit anyway.

Riri happily turned to her and pushed her down against the mattress. “Oh c’mon you don’t even have enough energy for me?”

"Always..." Shuri breathily said, opening her jumpsuit all the way. Without any ability to control herself, Riri hastily undressed as well and then got to work kissing her girlfriend’s firm tits. But before things could go any further, there was a knock at the bars. Standing patiently was Ororo Munroe, aka Storm. Queen of Wakanda and Shuri’s sister-in-law. Most assumed there must have been some resentment between them since it was Storm who now led The Panthers, but, in all honesty, Shuri had never been more relieved. She never wanted to be a ruler and thankfully Storm was more than capable. Shuri was functionally the leader of the Panthers, and the one the Dora Milaje obeyed without question, but Storm was the more experienced leader, and Shuri knew that. So while Shuri officially led the gang, she usually let Storm do the actual prison politicking.

“Sorry to interrupt, but it’s time” Storm said ominously. Today was an important day.

—————————————————————

“I’m not saying you need to be friendly when doing this, but people are a lot more willing to buy from you if you don’t always seem like you’re about to kill them” Trish suggested to Jessica as they left Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean’s cell, having sold the couple LSD. Jessica had no idea that it was in fact their fault she’d been stripped naked and kicked in the pussy so many times that she still was a bit sore.

Jessica, as always, looked disinterested in having a conversation. “Isn’t my job just standing here and making sure they pay you?”

“Yeah for now. But I’m saying this for when you start doing this yourself.” Trish replied, feeling like a big sister in this one moment. A big sister who was teaching her younger adopted sibling how to sell drugs but a big sister nonetheless.

“Good thing I don’t plan on ever doing that.” Jessica truly thought she meant it, but did wonder if she’d ever be so desperate as to break down if it meant being paid in alcohol. Right now she could at least tell herself she never actually sold anything.

Trish feigned offence. “What, are you too good for it? Better leave it to the remorseless criminals, right?”

Jessica rested her face in the palm of her hand, both out of exasperation and because she had a hangover. “I just didn’t really see my life going in the direction of being tutored on how to be a drug dealer.”

“Y’know I would have said the exact same thing before you sent me here but now look at me.” Trish really never missed a chance to bring it up.

Wanting to move on, Jessica asked: “Who's next on the list?”

Trish paused, trying to remember. “Uhhh Dazzler again.”

“Didn’t we just fucking sell to her yesterday?” Jessica asked in surprise.

Trish didn’t think much of it. Anything besides selling the product really wasn't her problem. The more they bought the better. “I guess she’s buying in bulk. It’s not like she doesn't have the cigarettes for it.”

“Don’t you feel anything about the fact it would be our fault if she OD’s?” Jessica’s annoyed tone briefly slipped into rare concern.

“Not really” Trish shrugged. “You try being cellmates with Titania and I guarantee you’d want to OD.”

“That’s not funny” Jessica said flatly.

“It was kind of funny,” Trish defended. “Look, she’ll be fine. There is only like a 25% chance she dies a slow death choking on her own vomit”

They passed the cell of Typhoid Mary who thankfully was back to being just timid, shy Mary. Well not that shy. It was 4:00 and she was in her cell, back against the wall with her hand down her jumpsuit gasping for air as she pleasured herself. Jessica did her best not to look for her own sake but it was Mary who approached the bars, not bothering to zip her jumpsuit back up.

“Vanessa told me what I did and I just wanted to say sorry that the other me tried to kill you. She gets…excited. “ Jessica tried to ignore her, but Mary followed as far as the bars would let her. “D-Do you accept my apology?”

“Sure.” Jessica wasn’t convincing in the slightest but Mary backed off, seemingly relieved, and went back to what she’d been doing.

“Look at you making friends!” Trish teased.

 

Jessica rolled her eyes. “I liked it better when we weren’t talking.”

From ahead came Maya Lopez, pushing someone out of her way as she did. Something about her demeanour conveyed just how upset she was at the fact that she was mop-tip up Cassie Lang’s hole when she was asked to fetch someone.

she signed, pointing at Jessica.

The response was Jessica staring blankly, not understanding what Maya said. “I’m sorry but I don’t know ASL.”

Maya, in no mood to try and mime what she was saying, moved to simply grab Jessica’s shoulder and drag her, but, as soon as she touched her, Jessica threw an instinctual punch that landed across the woman’s face.

Maya responded in turn by shoving Jessica against the wall and returning the blow, followed by kneeing her precisely where Jessica had spent the lockdown being repeatedly kicked. She really didn’t need to respond with violence, but it had been a pretty boring day so far and beating Jessica up was pretty cathartic. Careful to not hit her anywhere Vanessa would be annoyed about, Maya had her fun and then gripped Jess by the hair and dragged her forwards.

Trish watched the whole thing unfold, only concerned when Jessica was dragged off. “Ok well I guess I’ll just do the deal myself then.” she sighed.

—————————————————————

Today was the day, Jane Foster’s alloted once per month orgasm. Sylvie had told her it was apparently an old Asgardian custom to let sexual slaves cum only once a month as a means to say thank you for their indenturehood. Jane had since begun to have doubts about the existence of the tradition when Valkyrie didn’t seem to know what she was talking about.

Waiting with anticipation, Jane was already down to her underwear laying on the bottom bunk as Sylvie straddled her stomach. She was straight (100% straight) so being anywhere near intimate with other women was not her thing at all…but she really wanted to cum. Apparently getting groped by predatory lesbians was just something one adapted to like a change in seasons if horny enough.

Sylvie slid her hand back and gently stroked her fingers against Jane’s cotton-concealed pussy, not slipping under just yet. Jane couldn’t help but feel the goddess was infuriatingly slow. She hated being teased and that was precisely why Sylvie never got directly to the action. There was always something entertaining to the Goddess of Mischief at seeing sheer desperation flash in Jane’s guilt-ridden eyes as she squirmed and moaned. In these moments it was most clear that the slave was completely at her mercy.

For all that it mattered, Sylvie’s games certainly worked as Jane shuttered at every little touch. Judging by her reaction, you’d think she climaxed when Sylvie finally actually put her hand down her panties.

“Thank you” Jane breathily said, a moment too soon because Sylvie stopped and abruptly said:

“I must be going.”

Jane couldn’t hide just how upset she was by the complete tease. “You’re kidding me, right? This isn’t funny!” Sylvie had a tendency to not understand the timing of her trickery, not that it mattered much when she was queen of The Shieldmaidens, but it was deeply frustrating at moments like this. Unfortunately for Jane, this wasn’t one of Sylvie’s games.

“I just remembered I have a very important meeting I must attend. Believe it or not, there are more important things than you cumming.” Sylvie chided, getting up and fixing her jumpsuit. It was astounding how fast the moment was completely over.

Jane begged to differ and, sexually frustrated enough to say something, chose to express it. “It’s been a week! It really shouldn't take long for me to finish” She realised just how strange it was pleading with her boyfriend’s sister to make her orgasm but so many things were strange about their dynamic.

“A week?” Sylvie smirked.

Jane paused, realising she’d slipped up. “What? I-”

Sylvie quickly washed her hands in the sink. “I think you’re in need of a firm reminder of what happens to slaves who do not obey their mistress when I get back” she casually threatened.

 

“Wait, you promised me to Amora later. I don’t think there'll be time for both and you really shouldn’t disappoint her.” Jane was deeply uncomfortable around Amora the Enchantress, who had an obsession with Thor that surpassed being creepy (an obsession that carried over to Jane since she was the Mighty Thor), but licking the woman’s pussy fifty nights in a row did start to take away the sting of servitude to a creepy fangirl. It would be more than worth it if it meant getting out of being punished.

Sylvie shrugged. “Don’t worry, there will still be plenty of time to eat out your stalker after I tenderise your arse”

Jane found it impossible to keep her thoughts to herself right now. “Sylvie, you’re going to come back here right now and bring me to the loudest orgasm I’ve ever had.” she said in a tone far angrier than any one should have with their prison mommy.

Thankfully Sylvie was a merciful deity and so instead of a severe punishment, she merely decreed: "40, 20 on each cheek. Bare bottom. We can always negotiate to 60 if you want.”

That was in fact enough to make Jane not say another word.

—————————————————————

The lights of the infirmary seemed blinding to the exhausted Carol, so much so that she currently had her one good eye shut in an attempt to ease her piercing headache. Every day since the injury had been the same mind-numbing nothing broken up with the occasional moments of bliss when Valkyrie came to visit. That was the only thing she looked forward to anymore. What she didn’t look forward to were the expectations of her gang for her to know what course of action they all needed to take. In truth, she didn’t know. Even with Sylvie’s pledge, their numbers were less than half that of The Sisterhood. She felt like she’d had better odds when she took on the Brood by herself than she had in this coming conflict.

Medusa had come to Carol with the latest updates on what was happening within the Galaxy Gals. So far the mutants had made no direct move against them, but everyone was on edge. It was only a matter of time before Jean did something.

“What about the Widows? Have they agreed to help?” Carol weakly asked, worn down by the pain-killers in her system.

Medusa nodded. “Natasha promises her unwavering loyalty to your cause” In truth, Medusa hadn’t spoken a word to Natasha. The Widows were thus far entirely removed from the situation. No one except The Shieldmaidens had stepped forward as allies against the largest gang in The Raft and Medusa doubted anyone would. Fighting Jean seemed a fruitless endeavour. “We’re all just waiting for you to recover. There were some who questioned your ability to lead, but I reminded them of all you’ve done for us. The day that you are healed we will gladly back you against Jean.” Medusa reassured.

“Thank you.” Carol said earnestly, slipping into a state of sleep afterwards without even realising it.

Medusa stood and left the infirmary, entering back into the hall where she was met by a concerned Krylorian. “How is she?” the woman asked, eyes wide in innocence.

Medusa didn’t reciprocate the level of concern. “She’s a mess. I don’t think she’ll ever truly recover from what happened. The Captain has completely lost her willpower.”

“What will we do?” the Krylorian pressed.

Medusa walked down the hall, bothered by the woman following her with questions. With all the earnestness she could muster, she said: “We’ll have to find the next most suitable person to lead. And let’s face it, Carol was never leader material. She’s brash, arrogant, and impulsive. What this gang needs is someone who can carry themself with a policy of diplomacy.” It just so happened that person was herself.

During the time Carol had been healing, Medusa had been the one to step forward and rule on her behalf. She knew for a fact that Carol was unfit and there needed to be a new leader. For one reason or another, already a good percentage of the Galaxy Gals had outright accepted Medusa’s leadership. It helped that she promised to stop the war before it even began. They knew that with Carol, they’d be forced to fight until the bitter end under the lead of the so-called “most powerful woman in the galaxy” who was bested by a simple Terran.

—————————————————————

“Isn’t that the princess of Wakanda?” Kate Bishop excitedly exclaimed far too loudly, forgetting to not be so obvious as she stared at a busy Shuri and Storm making their way across the yard, deep in some conversation. Yelena estimated that this was the twelfth time Kate had gotten excited about seeing a famous person in just the last few hours, although she had really lost count. Personally, the assassin didn’t much understand the excitement in spotting superhero celebrities (probably because to her no hero was greater than her sister – but she’d absolutely never let Nat know that)

“Yes.” Yelena nodded casually before pointing to a different table and saying: “and that is Black Cat selling Michelle Jones for cigarettes.” That was far more her speed in things to enjoy watching. Just like Yelena had said, Black Cat was currently forcing Michelle to strip out of her jumpsuit and put on an outfit she’d made specially for her to boost sales. Besides Michelle stood Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, and Liz Allan. One may think they’d bond in their shared turmoil of Felicia’s inflicted torment, but they hated each other with every fibre of their beings. Deep-rooted jealousy festered when each had been just another of Peter Parker's other affairs.

Kate didn’t share Yelena's enthusiasm at the scene. Wide-eyed and horrified, the archer turned to her friend. She still felt traumatised by seeing how Felicia treated them during the sleepover. “That’s awful!” She told Yelena off like she was a child.

Yelena nodded in agreement. “Awful-ly fun to watch.”

Kate didn’t understand Yelena’s rather calm reaction. Seeing Michelle put on the degrading outfit, Kate resolved to do something about the situation. “...I think we could take her.” the archer said confidently.

Now it was Yelena’s turn to be surprised. “You want me to pay cigarettes for her? That was fast, Kate Bishop.” she assumed the archer meant something entirely different.

“Pay cigarettes- what? No! I meant the weird cat lady.” Kate sputtered.

Yelena looked at Kate like her friend was failing to grasp the nature of the auction. Unhelpfully, she tried to explain: “You can’t buy her. She’s selling out the women in the orange bikinis.”

As interested parties gawked at Michelle’s bare brown skin, she wasn’t sure whether or not she was humiliated or a bit flattered that she almost always made way more than the other three.

Kate furrowed her brow, wondering if there was a failure to communicate due to a possible slight language barrier Yelena may have. “I don’t want to buy her. She’s a person. That’s…illegal.” She only then realised it didn’t matter here.

“I’m not cornering her in the showers. Fighting on wet tiles is much harder than it looks.” Yelena spoke from a place of personal experience, obviously not grasping the point still.

“Oh my god I’m trying to say I want us to beat up Black Cat and rescue the women who are being sold!” Kate yelled loud enough for absolutely everyone to hear. Like a pause-button had been hit, the yard went silent and stared at her. From her place atop the table, Felicia’s emerald eyes bore down upon the archer.

—————————————————————

Maya released Jessica’s hair and shoved her inside the cell, where the detective barely managed to find her footing before she collapsed. “What the fuck? If you want to talk you don’t need to send someone to jump me.”

Vanessa stood, not facing Jessica but towards a painting which rested upon the wall. She seemed entranced in it, lost completely in the ebb and flow of delicate brushstrokes that danced and swirled in a tempest of whites. “It’s striking, isn’t it?” she asked, not turning to face her guest.

“Yeah that looks great. Now what do you want?” Jessica moodily asked.

“I want to speak with you, Jessica. My apologies for Maya’s approach to fetching you…she can be aggressive. It’s certainly useful, but when it’s her approach to everything she’s no more than an enforcer.” There was an unexpected earnestness in Vanessa’s tone, something which caught Jessica off guard. It was something Jessica couldn’t trust. “Now what do you see in this piece?”

Jessica crossed her arms in irritation. “I don’t fucking know. It looks like some white paint chaotically thrown on a pallet.” She simply did not understand abstract art.

Vanessa laughed softly at the predictably rough answer. “I once curated a painting similar to this and people always asked me how we could charge so much for what amounts to gradations of white. I would tell them it's not about the artist's name or the skill required, not even about the art itself. All that matters is 'How does it make you feel?’ Art has a way of capturing chaos and serenity all at once.”

“If chaos and serenity are part of the deal, then I guess my life’s a masterpiece.” Jessica scoffed.

For the first time in this conversation, Vanessa parted her glance for a moment to see Jessica’s brusque demeanour. “You seem like a woman who appreciates complexity more than you realise.”

“Sure. I guess when you’ve seen enough of the worst in people you realise things aren’t very black and white.” As Jessica peered deeper into the painting she realised it wasn’t white at all, but a sea of greys which thrashed like an ocean caught by a wrathful tempest – or a rabbit in a snowstorm. Maybe she did get it.

Vanessa nodded in thought. “I look at it when I need to better understand reality. It grounds me in something deeper than the mere catharsis most indulge in. Too many forget, or never see, that this prison is a woman so lost by cruelty, she has forgotten herself and found only appetites. Even I can become lost in its strange allure, and that is why I paint. For me, it was love that first granted me a different world, a different perspective and each piece reminds me of that.”

Jessica looked at her quizzically, growing curiouser about the woman in front of her. She’d known of Vanessa Fisk by reputation, everyone in NYC did, and had been begrudgingly doing jobs for her since arriving in prison, but this was a previously unseen side of the mob wife. “Sounds deep. You ever think of writing a book? I’d buy it – something different to read in between punching people who don’t know how to pay for shit and pounding cheap booze.”

Vanessa smiled in appreciation. “Perhaps one day. But for now, I find art to be my outlet. It’s less permanent than the written word, but just as expressive. I’m curious. Jessica, are you an artist?”

Jessica shrugged. “I’m pretty great at the art of drinking until I pass out if that counts”

“As someone who pays you in your vices, I think I at least deserve an honest answer.” Vanessa pressed.

Jessica shifted uncomfortably, feeling as if her thick layer of rough-around-the-edges armour had been pierced. “I used to draw. Actually thought about being a tattoo artist…but it never went anywhere.” It had been something she did when she was younger, and a fact she shared with few people. After her parents died it had been something just for her. The last person who’d asked her about it was Kilgrave and she wasn’t given a choice in how she answered, only forced to tell him each and every little intimate detail about herself. To this day the act of drawing made her feel sick.

Staring into the painting, Jessica felt her mind begin to settle slowly. A fuming panic and rage that she always carried seemed to quiet for the briefest of moments. Lost in the grey she almost completely forgot why she was here at all. It was only as her mind drifted back that she asked: “You didn’t really bring me here to talk about paint, did you?”

Vanessa sighed, at last taking a step back - bidding farewell to this session of introspection. “No. But it is a pause before what we must do next.”

“And what’s that?”Jessica asked, eyebrow raised.

Vanessa hesitated. “There is a war brewing, one that demands my action. Today we will convene with some of the other gangs to decide what that course of action shall be.”

Jessica paused in perplexity. “Ok…and why do you want me there? Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not really the seasoned Godfather type.”

“I think everyone in this gang must see the weight of my decisions. Not everyone will understand it completely – women like Maya never will – but I think you understand people well enough to be someone who can. You’ll accompany me to this meeting and observe…or would you prefer to return to ‘punching people who don’t know how to pay for shit’ as you so elegantly put it?”

“I’ll come with you.” Jessica was interested in where this was going.

“Excellent. Now fix your hair. I can’t have you looking like you rolled out of bed after drinking two bottles of whiskey last night.”

It was just as they were about to leave that a voice chimed: “Can you let me go now?” Only then did Jessica notice Madame Masque had been up there, naked and handcuffed to the frame.

—————————————————————

“Want one?” Mystique offered a cigarette over to the woman, The Phoenix, beside her in the yard. The mutant assassin stood completely proud of her blue body, accustomed to being completely naked most of the time. She wouldn’t demean herself by wearing the ‘slave rags’ given to her, even if that meant never wearing so much as underwear again. It helped that she was one of very few women in The Raft who could go without any clothing without the risk of being assaulted.

“A cigarette? You think I’d defile this body with such a crude thing?” The Phoenix questioned the offer in a distant tone that didn’t seem to come from Jean’s mouth. Just as Mystique refused to sully herself with prison-mandated uniforms, The Phoenix refused to harm her host’s body with anything mortal-made. Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes - they were all beneath a celestial being like herself.

Mystique took a drag and rested her head against the wall in contemplation. “We should have killed Carol in the mines when we had a chance.”

“I don’t doubt that you’ll be able to manage killing her now.” The Phoenix replied, decrying a new hit.

“Killing her won’t be necessary. In fact I think I may have a resolution that doesn’t involve bloodshed” Medusa said…just before Mystique kicked her and pinned her to the wall by keeping her foot at the Inhuman’s throat. Although Medusa could have fought back, she relented for now.

 

“And why is that?” Mystique asked, pressing harder into Medusa’s throat. She would have killed her without hesitation if given the order…or just for fun if they didn’t have a better use for the Inhuman. It had been awhile since she last killed someone.

But it didn’t take any enhanced interrogation tactics to get Medusa’s intent. A perk of telepathy was that The Phoenix simply extracted the information that she needed without the annoyingly slow process of talking. It was beneath a goddess like herself to waste time with mortals. “She wants to take over the Galaxy Gals” she said calmly, keeping her tone flat to make sure their new captive couldn’t read into it.

Medusa gasped for air. “I don’t want to be their leader…but it is a burden I am willing to carry if it means ending the reign of someone who is blatantly so incapable of leading.”

The Phoenix smirked. “No, you’re far too treacherous for such a noble intention. I know what moves you, Medusa, and the lies you tell yourself won’t get you far. It’s power you crave, not the betterment of your gang. Enrapture yourself in the truth of your intent and you’ll find it far simpler to obtain what you seek.”

 

“What I want doesn’t matter. I’m offering you Carol to do whatever your heart desires with.” Medusa stammered. The number of ways out of this without harm to herself were starting to dwindle.

 

Dragging a mental talon through Medusa’s mind, the Phoenix clearly took offence “You think I can’t take her subservience by force?” she challenged, giving Mystique the go-ahead to choke her a little harder. “I don’t need your permission.”

Medusa could barely breath now, getting dizzier as her air-flow was cut off. “For what? Do you think it would show how powerful you are? We all know.”

“Flattery, how adorable. That won't work on me. Offer me something I can’t obtain or I’ll let Mystique choke you to death here and now.”

Medusa shut her eyes and tried to calm herself. Knowing what she must do she said: “I, on behalf of the Galaxy Gals, will swear allegiance to you.”

Summary:

Chapter Text

The lights flickered in the hallways as Kate Bishop angrily marched down them. At any moment a lesbian could have jumped out of any dark corner but Kate just didn’t care. She knew wanding off on her own wasn’t her best idea here, but she couldn’t stand to be in the same place as Yelena at the moment. The spy had talked Felicia down but it didn’t matter. Kate was disturbed by her friend’s enjoyment of how others were mistreated. With so many superheroes wrongly imprisoned, the archer couldn’t comprehend how things like what she saw could happen or, worse, how Yelena could possibly find entertainment in it. It sickened her to her core to see someone who she considered her only friend in The Raft be so supportive of a system so vile. She had not had time to adjust yet, and doubted she ever would.

Kate barely registered where she was walking as she mentally ranted to no end, looking simply to walk so that she may think rather than journeying to any one location. It really was a miracle no one took advantage of her. Or perhaps it wasn’t a miracle at all that kept the usual horny inmates at bay, but a deep fear of angering Yelena.

Navigating down a hall that led between Cellblock C and the gym, a growing anxiety of being on her own finally began to creep in. She attempted to ease herself by noticing the security cameras, but then she remembered that the guards here didn’t exactly do much to prevent what happened and so she was kind of back to square one on not being nervous.

Luckily for the frustrated archer, she wouldn't find an angry lesbian ready to ravage her body, but a sniffling girl, sitting against the wall with her arms wrapped around her legs. She gasped as she looked up at her guest with tear stained eyes, then sighed with relief as she realised who it was. She rushed to wipe away her tears though. "Oh, hi. Kate Bishop... Hi..."

“Cassie?!” The Raft was a very big prison and even a week in it was easy enough to not meet everyone. Case in point, this very moment where Kate recognized the crying woman in front of her. They weren’t incredibly close friends, but they had met before and so seeing Cassie Lang behind bars was incredibly jarring. Wanting to not sound so shocked, she tried to play it cool by asking: “They got you too, huh?”

Kate didn’t yet know that Cassie had actually been incarcerated longer than her. She assumed the tears were because she was newly arrived.

Cassie frowned sadly as she realised yet another hero had been arrested, then nodded. "Awhile ago. I don't know how long. Time doesn't feel real anymore, and... Maya, she...she can be really nice, and sometimes I feel like we're actually friends and it's so nice, but then..." Her lip quivered as she looked away, debating whether or not she should continue. "...and then she gets so angry. She stole a mop from Wanda and shoved part of the handle in my vagina. It's still in there..."

Kate looked horrified, dropping all attempts at being cool and sitting by Cassie in sudden concern. She had no idea who Maya was, but she seemed pretty par for the course for the women in The Raft. This was exactly the awful mistreatment she was wholeheartedly against…and which Yelena would probably find funny.

“She shoved a…what? Are you ok?” She worriedly asked, briefly looking downwards at Cassie’s crotch for sickened verification of the mop handle before comprehending that it was probably (definitely) weird and darting her eyes back up.

Cassie looked at Kate with confusion. She may enjoy the little moments with Maya, but it had been so long since anybody asked her that question, or even showed the slightest bit of concern for her. She was more weirded out than flattered. "Y-yeah... I'm fine. It just... really hurts. I'm probably gonna be sore for a couple weeks, but I'm used to it..." She shrugged, no longer really comprehending how bizarre this whole situation was.

“Y-You’re fine? You’re not fine. Nothing about someone shoving a mop handle up your…vagina…is fine! I’m so sorry she did that to you.” Kate definitely was a bit overbearing in her concern, but she felt with all her heart that no one should have to experience that. Cassie’s shrug came as an even bigger surprise than the information on what had happened. Kate didn’t know what it's like to endure that sort of thing repeatedly until it just becomes normal. “Can you take it out? How deep in is it? I can get you to the infirmary.”

Something seemed to shift inside Cassie, the immense amount of concern starting to break through. "I... I don't think that's a good idea. Maya will take it out when she's ready... and then hopefully we'll still have game night.." She really relied on those game nights. One of the only things that made prison life feel normal. "But, um... thank you... thank you..."

“But it can be taken out now…and then you can come to my cell to play games.” Kate didn’t have any games to play but she felt that she could definitely come up with something if it meant helping the obvious abuse victim in front of her. “I’m sure my games are way better than hers.” She added in an attempt to sell the idea.

Cassie still looked nervous, but was clearly considering it. The idea of playing games with someone legitimately sweet, and not just temporarily kind, was enticing. "Really? You would... play games with me?" She then looked down at the ground. "But what if Maya gets upset? She always threatens to sell me for cigarettes if I disobey..."

Kate was just about to enthusiastically say that she 100% wanted to hang out with Cassie but was brought to a complete stop when her new friend shared the commonly-given threat. The archer was at a loss for words on how to respond. Ultimately what she said was bold…and way too loud: “We should teach her a lesson then! We’re superheroes. Let’s show her what happens to bad guys.” Kate didn’t realise that the Maya she was talking about beating up was the same Maya who beat her up two Christmases ago.

Cassie's jaw dropped in horror, heart racing as she began to breathe frantically. "N-no! I... I dont think that's a good idea. If it goes wrong, that could be seriously bad for me, and... and she's not a bad person. She just... she's... she's been friendly to me. And she keeps me safe from worse people. I don't wanna betray her like that." Of course, thanks to Maya's actions, her vagina was throbbing as she said this, pain radiating throughout her body.

“Hurting you and saying she’ll sell you sounds like bad person behaviour to me. What even is worse than what she does? I feel like she’s just saying that to make you feel like she’s better than she is.” Kate would have reassured that Yelena would help if they fought Maya, but, as things currently stood, she wasn’t so confident that Yelena would.

Cassie couldn't deny that Kate had a point, though she was wrong about one very big thing. "Oh, there are much worse things that can happen to me here... much worse..." She then realized she definitely wanted to change the subject. "What kind of games do you have?"

Kate caught on to the fact that Cassie wanted to talk about something else. Unfortunately that something else involved her scrambling to come up with a game now that she actually needed to make her bluff look legit. Immediately she tried to remember what games were in the rec room but she couldn’t remember a single one. “A game…a game…” She was doing great at lying. “I…um…have…Monopoly! Yeah Monopoly!” She didn’t have Monopoly.

Luckily for Kate, Cassie could be a little oblivious, smiling wide despite the obvious lie. "Oh, cool. I love Monopoly. I used to play it all the time with my family..." She missed her family. This would be a comforting night... if Kate actually had the game.

Cassie’s nostalgic recollection made Kate feel really bad that she didn’t actually have the game. It went from a helpful lie to possibly being a major disappointment to someone whose life had been really rough.
“...But just in case it’s not there we can always come up with something else that’s fun”

Cassie's smile faltered a bit, that slightly prissy attitude she'd entered prison with returning slightly. "I mean, I guess..." But she still gave her a tight hug. "Thank you..."

—————————————————————

Just as Wanda was about to force Rogue on to her knees and make her plead forgiveness for allegedly breaking the mop, the suppression collar around her neck contracted tighter and gave the witch an incredibly painful shock that made her think twice about the spell she was about to cast. She’d barely had time to recover from the pain before she noticed a guard approaching.

“Unless you’re hoping to get sent back to solitary, you better move your ass.” they accosted. Wanda didn’t feel that it was fair that she was the one being told to leave…but she didn’t have the fight in her to try and explain the situation. She’d practically just come back from the hole for trying to stop Gwendolyn Poole forcing herself on her and she feared going back. She’d never truly grown accustomed to being punished, but there was something especially terrifying to her about being stripped naked and left to languish in a claustrophobic cell for days at a time. In the hole she was left to the whims of her demons without any distraction, stranded in her own despair.

“I’m sorry. It was an overreaction.” was all the witch said, the slightest hint of resentment in her tone but compliant nonetheless. Taking her cart and broken tool she left the rec room and went to clean the gym. The place was as crowded as ever, but it was Natasha Romanoff sparring with Yelena that caught Wanda’s attention.

The way the Black Widow moved was entrancing to the witch, as elegant as it was aggressive. Even in a fight she looked beautiful. Every punch, kick, and swing were precise, almost dance-like in how deliberate they were. They’d fought together before as Avengers, but there really wasn’t much of a chance in the heat of battle for Wanda to actually watch Natasha. Wanda didn’t know Natasha’s fighting style was based on her early ballet training in the Red Room, but she appreciated the fluidity and beauty of it.

She forgot all about how mad she’d been at Rogue, or how the guards treated her like she was a walking security risk (which she did understand was reasonable given the offences that landed her in prison). The way Jean had been treating her fell out of mind, tucked away to some desolate corner of her mind as Natasha took the forefront.

It took longer than it should have for Wanda to remember why she’d come into the room in the first place. She startled as her elbow slipped from the cart she leaned on as she had been staring distractedly. But even after she pulled a broom from it and began to sweep the dirty floors she repeatedly caught herself looking back up at the redhaired spy.

Wanda jumped as she felt someone softly trace their fingers through her brown and red hair. “Enjoying the sight?” Emma Frost asked, seeing the direction Wanda had been looking.

“No. I’m just tired.” Wanda poorly lied.

“Well I hope you’re not too tired…” Leaning in close Emma smiled and whispered: “...I want you to come to my cell.”

Wanda had been sold out enough times to understand where this was going, but Jean had been extra possessive lately and she didn’t want to somehow make her madder by doing the wrong thing. “I think Jean wanted me to go back to our cell right after work…”

“May I remind you, Wanda, that I am Jean’s friend and I may do as I wish in The Sisterhood. She is busy at the moment…so I’m your mistress until she returns.” Emma smirked. On the outside she held numerous famous people in her sway thanks to the ease in which blackmail material could be found when one was a telepath. But it was never just about ensuring the secrets of the Hellfire Club, no it ran far deeper than that. There was something that thrilled the wicked woman about having control over people, especially people of influence. She liked to see them dance in an attempt to appease her. Politicians, actors, superheroes, they were all her slaves in her mind. But never had she had control over an Avenger. Until now that was. “In essence, I can do whatever I want to you. And right now I want to see you undress.”

 

Wanda went wide-eyed, feeling uncomfortable but knowing she wasn’t allowed to do anything about it. “H-Here?” she stammered.

“Do I seem like I lack the necessary confidence required to abstain from stuttering? I wouldn't have said that I want you to undress if I didn’t mean for you to do it here and now.” Emma rolled her eyes.

Without the willpower to argue, Wanda shyly reached for the zipper of her jumpsuit and pulled it down as far as it would go until her clothes fell to the floor. Covering her breasts, she looked down in shame at her own submission. “M-My underwear too?”

Emma Frost’s cold ice-blue gaze was answer enough and so Wanda dropped her panties too. Standing naked, she felt Emma throw her around her and then they began to walk. The witch could feel eyes upon her body from all directions as they navigated to Cellblock B. It was almost a relief to enter Emma’s cell. Almost. Because as soon as they were inside Emma commanded Wanda to lay down on the bottom bunk. She did as told but was surprised when Emma pulled out lengths of makeshift rope made of sheets and fastened the witch to the bed.

Wanda knew there wasn’t any point in pleading, nor was there any use in calling out to the guards for help. Emma wasn’t trying to kill her so no one would give a damn, and even if she was being killed Wanda imagined no one liked her enough to help. In her mind she was just as much monster as the White Queen, if not more so. Wanda couldn’t help but think that maybe this was her karma for her actions in Westview. Maybe this powerlessness was what it felt like for those poor townspeople to be under her hex.

“Cry all you want. It won’t make this go any faster. I like to take my time with such pretty things as you.” Emma teased, softly running her index finger just beneath Wanda’s eye where tears were now falling. With a sick smile on her face, Emma raised her now wet finger to her lips and gave the tears a taste. There always was something so special to her about the taste of the broken.

Emma stripped naked and then straddled her stomach and, despite her elegant composure, she aggressively forced two fingers up the witch’s womanhood without any restraint while she placed her other hand on her throat, not choking her yet but letting it be known that she would if she so chose. Then she began to pump her fingers in Wanda, slow for the first second and then rougher.

“Someone’s pussy is wet…” Emma said as if it meant her victim could possibly be enjoying this.

Wanda’s eyes glassed over as she struggled to process what was happening, growing number and number the more Emma defiled her. Even her tears stopped flowing. For a moment she felt as if she wasn’t in her body at all…but then she cruelly was unmercifully ripped back into awareness as Emma came face to face with her. “Cry more for me.”

When Wanda didn’t give her the desired response, Emma gently laid a hand on the witch’s cheek in a tender embrace…and then slapped her. The way in which the White Queen calmly commanded her was far more horrifying than any raised tone could be. Wanda was powerless, not just physically against Emma but also emotionally. This was all part of the game for her torturer. Left with nothing else to do, Wanda cried. Tears seemed to pour until everything she saw was a complete blur.

Emma twisted two more fingers up Wanda, curious to see how far she could go before the legendary Scarlet Witch screamed. In the end, she’d managed to get all five fingers up her – painfully stretching at the witch’s walls. She kept them there until she was bored, at which point she pulled them all out at once and moved to sit over Wanda’s face, her legs either side of the witch’s head. Then she squatted down. Wanda tried to pull her head away but she was grabbed by her long hair and her face was pushed into Emma’s unshaven womanhood.

Wanda had been a bitch long enough to know what to do without fighting; eating out Emma. All the while the White Queen moaned and grinded her sex against Wanda’s face while kneading Wanda’s breasts, roughly pinching at her nipples. She slapped them and jiggled them and then she threw her arm back and fingered the witch once more.

Mouth buried beneath a blonde pussy unshaven for the last four years, Wanda lapped and sobbed but nothing seemed to indicate this would ever end. There was a twisted sort of involuntary pleasure to Emma’s fingers going in and out her pussy, but that was overwhelmed by the pain of the dominatrix pinching her hardened right nipple and giving it a relentless twist. No experience Wanda had been through when being sold out was ever like this. Emma didn’t just get off on a pretty face between her thighs, but on the torment she could inflict. Emma truly put the sadism in BDSM.

With a ladylike gasp, Emma came on Wanda’s face with a spray, unashamed of the enjoyment she took in using such a powerful being as her plaything. “Such an obedient pretty little pet. I can see why Jean keeps you.”

Emma got off Wanda’s face with a self-satisfied smile and for a minute Wanda thought it meant this was over…but then Emma pulled out a stolen guard’s belt from under the bed. Wanda didn’t have time to react before she was struck across her bare breasts by the rough leather material.

Wanda screamed in pain, eyes burning scarlet just before her collar shocked her into submission. “P-Please stop!” She begged, her chest now burning. She barely even understood why she was here.

“You may scream if you wish, but you won’t speak unless commanded to. Understood, bitch?” Emma admired the bright red mark slowly showing up along the witch’s perky tits…just before bringing the belt down again. And again. And then a third time for good measure. Wanda cried pretty often, but she very rarely screamed. Emma had now forced her to do it thrice in less than a minute. It was a good start but there was much more to be done.

“W-When Jean…when Jean hears about this…” Wanda panted, attempting to find something that would make her assaulter stop. Before she could finish her sentence though, the makeshift whip slashed across her chest.

“Jean? She won’t care as long as nothing I do creates any permanent damage. Well physically permanent. Mental on the other hand…” There were few weapons beside her mind that Emma required, but she’d always had a fondness for the whip. Nothing else quite embodied the difference in power between dom and sub like it, and few things made her as wet as when she used it to bring someone to her mercy. It was second only to that moment when her victim’s will broke entirely. “I adore how your tits shake when I do this.” she chuckled. With just a few cracks of the belt, Emma had transformed Wanda’s beautiful boobs into two mounds of bruised and stinging flesh.

Wanda was sobbing by now, in the exquisite pain Emma sought, but there was only one issue. They were in prison and she couldn’t have the girl’s screams drawing the attention of a guard. It was such a pity to lose the sound of delightful pain…but alas incarceration life required sacrifices.

 

The White Queen picked her worn prison-panties off the ground, giving them a playful spin so Wanda could see…and then shoved them into the witch’s mouth as a gag. Wanda choked on the taste but didn’t get to focus on it long when Emma grabbed her by the face, squeezing her cheeks. All she could do was look up at her captor with fear as Emma whispered in her ear: “I can’t believe you were once an Avenger. You’re the Scarlet Witch who held a town hostage? The monster who killed all of those sorcerers? You’re nothing. There have been servant girls who endured my torture longer than you.”

Wanda couldn’t argue with that; she was nothing. Her life, her existence, and every breath she drew she didn’t deserve. She should have died under Wundagore, but Doctor Strange had rescued her only to bring her to a living hell. She resented him, but also after everything she’d done she knew she deserved to be here. To be punished.

Emma Frost wasn’t all that different from Jean Grey in that she knew how to probe a mind for a person’s deepest insecurities and to use it as a weapon. The White Queen could tell from a glance that the witch was a pathetic self-loathing mess. It was disgusting to see someone so powerful and so weak at the same time.

“You’re right, you do deserve punishment” Emma said aloud, stepping back and menacingly brandishing her belt once again. “Now that our warm-up is done, I can show you true punishment…”

Everything that Emma had done to Wanda so far was just the beginning.

—————————————————————

“Huh…I have no idea what happened to it. This is so weird. I guess my cellmate must have put it back in the rec room or something…” Kate lied upon arriving back at her cell with Cassie and putting on a pretty convincing search for the game she didn’t own. She’d really been hoping the game would somehow magically be there - perhaps buried under some of Yelena’s many things. The room was pretty cluttered afterall.

Cassie looked immensely disappointed, believing every word that Kate's cellmate had just put it back. "Oh... well... I guess I should... go back to Maya then..." She was probably less mad now. Maybe okay enough to do a game of their own.

“Wait, don't go! We don’t need Monopoly to have fun. We can do anything else.” This was starting to feel uncomfortably similar to the party Kate threw where the few who showed up started to leave less than ten minutes into the night.

Cassie raised an eyebrow. This girl really wanted to hang out with her... it felt kinda nice. "S-sure... What would we do?" She would then start to blush. "You're not gonna make me eat you out, are you?"

“What? No!” Kate exclaimed in shock. Since landing in the clink she’d had some very mixed feelings about her sexuality, but that was nowhere near being on her mind with Cassie. “How many introductions to people have involved anything like that?” She didn’t know that the answer numbered over thirty.

Cassie lowered her head shyly, not really wanting to say. "Too many..." She quickly shook away those negative feelings, wanting to focus on Kate, her potential new friend. "So what are we gonna do then?"

Kate thought for a moment, glancing around the messy cell for anything that she could use. The only thing that stood out was a black vibrator Yelena had left out and that Kate tried to subtly kick under the bed out of embarrassment; both out of the possibility Cassie saw it and because sharing a cell with Yelena had been a test in her comfort zone to say the least. While a vast improvement from being cellmates with Hela, Yelena wasn’t exactly shy about her body. If Yelena was horny she’d simply explore herself regardless of whether or not Kate was asleep. It made her blush reliving the moment.

Trying not to think of Yelena for a bit, Kate focused back on the task at hand. There was so much stuff and yet so little of it was useful for her predicament. “Well we could play a game that I just invented two seconds ago in my head. It’s really fun.”

If Cassie noticed the vibrator, she didn't say anything. Right now, she was primarily focused on staying on Kate's good side. Just in case. She was sceptical of this made up game, but also flattered that Kate was trying. "Sure. What are the rules?"

“Ok so you have to take this” Kate held up a few elastic hair ties “And you have to shoot it as far as you can without hitting the bars.” The archer put her back against the wall and demonstrated, using her index finger to brace the band before launching it into the middle of the hall.

Cassie laughed, almost giddy at how cool that was. It had been so long since she felt that giddy about something. "Wow! You really are the world's greatest archer!" She grabbed one of the hair ties, aiming it like Kate did... then yelped as she failed miserably, the hair tie snapping back into her eye. "Why do I even try?"

Kate couldn't hold back a laugh that she immediately tried to stifle out of fear of insulting her guest. She realised she would probably need to reign in her skills if this was going to come close to being fair. “It’s okay, you’ll get better. Give it another go!”

Cassie timidly grabbed another hair tie, aiming it once again and closing her eyes tight as she launched it. She then opened her eyes, just in time to see it hit the edge of a cell bar, almost going out. This was enough to get her excited. "I almost did it! I almost got it through!"

“That was so close!” Kate smiled at the sign of life starting to show in Cassie. Taking another band, she found a way to make it fair and still give herself at least some level of challenge. She would miss in incredibly precise ways. In this case: she needed to hit a precise middle section of the same bar that Cassie hit.

Breathing out she fired, sending the tiny object hurtling into exactly where she intended. “How?” She feigned ignorance at her ‘misfire’.

Cassie laughed at Kate's failure, mostly playfully but there was a hint of brattiness to it. "Okay, I take that back. Maybe second greatest archer." She grabbed another hair tie, shooting it at the empty space between the bars and just narrowly missing.

“Second greatest? Wow I know you shrink but you did not need to aim so low!” Kate closed her eyes and made it land precisely on top of Cassie’s.

Cassie was having the best experience of her entire prison life, laughing with the archer and actually feeling like a normal girl again. She even stuck her tongue out at the archer as she missed yet again, something that would have earned her a fist up her bottom with Maya. She felt surprisingly confident as she readied another hair tie, this one finally making it between the bars. She cheered and clapped, turning to Kate and waiting to hear some praise.

It didn’t take any faking for Kate to be impressed, genuinely surprised Cassie had actually finally gotten a successful shot. Clapping, she gave her friend the enthusiastic praise she sought: “That was awesome! I 100% knew you could do it.”

Cassie stared at Kate for a moment, trying to come up with words that could fully articulate how much this meant to her, but nothing could do it justice. So instead, she just quietly smiled and stepped aside waiting to see if Kate could do the same amazing shot. She totally could, but Cassie also secretly hoped she'd somehow miss. That would be the ultimate confidence boost.

Kate was a very competitive person..when the opponent was equal or surpassed her skill - neither of which Cassie did. And so she missed again. The shot, which bounced between two bars still managed to fall just behind Cassie’s band. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Cassie laughed hysterically at that, unable to believe she's truly bested the professional archer at this game. She really was the most adorably oblivious girl in the prison, so much time on the inside doing little to truly toughen her up. "This is so fun!" She then let out a heavy sigh, the reality of her situation coming back into her mind. "I guess there's no way they'd let us become cellmates?"

“Well I used to be in Hela’s cell but was moved really randomly. Apparently I ended up in the wrong cell…” Kate was oblivious to the strings that had been pulled to get her moved. “Maybe something like that happened to you and you’re supposed to be my cellmate or something?”

Cassie felt her spirits lift… "You think so? Who do you have as a cellmate? Would I be able to stay with you? I never really got sent to be with Maya. She just claimed me." ...only to feel a sudden wave of fear and guilt wash over her. "But Maya does also protect me, and... she's gonna be furious if I'm not there when she gets back..."

“Oh. When does she get back? Do you have to go right now?” Kate didn’t hide the fact that she was disappointed she couldn’t keep Cassie with her forever and keep seeing her smile.

Cassie would have loved to stay with Kate, to feel happy and genuinely wanted without fear of ulterior motives... but she'd been in prison long enough to know she had to value her safety above all, and Kate just couldn't guarantee that. Of course, now she was worried about disappointing Maya and her new friend. "I... I don't know. Probably soon. I... What do you think I should do?"

As much as Kate wanted to punch herself for saying it, she knew there was really only one way to keep Cassie safe…and that (somehow) was by sending her back to her abuser. It was a horrible situation all around that made the noble archer sick, but she didn’t want to see Cassie punished in some awful way because of poor advice she’d given her. “You…You should probably go back…but only if you want to. You’re welcome to come by whenever you want though, as long as it’s safe for you.” Her tone matched how she felt; glum.

Cassie's face fell as Kate confirmed what she already knew. The girl nodded solemnly, but would allow herself a small smile at the last part. "Okay... Maybe I could stay a little longer?"

—————————————————————

It was 4:30 PM which meant at the moment the cafeteria was nearly abandoned. Abandoned that is except for a few groups, members of different gangs, gathered together. There were three per group; Sylvie Laufeydottir, Valkyrie, and Sif of the Shieldmaidens; Vanessa Fisk, Jessica Jones, and Maya Lopez for the Queenpins; and then Shuri, Okoye, and Storm on behalf of the Panthers.

Jessica had been watching the whole conversation, silent as she observed how little things were getting anywhere. I could go into the details of their meeting but, let's be honest, no one is reading this story for long boring negotiations that don’t involve people taking their clothes off.

“Although our home has been taken from us and we are left here, Wakanda has traditionally been an isolationist nation and I won’t be the one to change that.” Shuri decreed, opting to keep the Panthers out of the brewing gang war while Storm beside her added: “On a personal note, I’ve been friends with Jean since we were Xavier’s students and, despite her changes, I won’t outright turn against her. She’s like a sister to me”

“Your ‘sister’ cut one of Carol’s eyes out.” Valkyrie remarked spitefully. She’d have liked to take an eye from Jean…if not worse.

Storm nodded in understanding but said: “I won’t defend what she did, but that isn’t something that warrants betraying her.”

Valkyrie crossed her arms, fuming inside. She didn’t understand how it was so hard to have people turn against the obvious madwoman. “And what about what she does next? Do you think she’ll stop at attacking Carol? She controls the largest gang and is completely mental. It’s only a matter of time before she attacks others.”

“That would apply if Jean attacked Carol without reason…which she didn’t. Carol hit her girlfriend and she reacted in defense.” Vanessa Fisk chimed in, tiring of the discussion but bearing enough patience to see it through. “I’d have done the same if anyone touched my property without my permission.”

Sylvie couldn’t really argue with that, in agreement that she’d definitely punish a transgression like that. It didn’t change her stance of allegiance with the Galaxy Gals, but it was a good point. “Perhaps…” She started but stopped when the door to the cafeteria was thrown open and The Phoenix entered, accompanied by Medusa.

“You can call off the meeting because Medusa, the new leader of The Galaxy Gals, has sworn her allegiance to me.” Jean proclaimed, feeling on top of the world right now. And why shouldn’t she have now that a victory had just presented itself to her.

“The new leader?” Valkyrie exclaimed, shooting Medusa a violent look. “You? Really?” she asked incredulously. “In Asgard traitors were once given the Blood Eagle…it’s shame we can’t do the same to you”

“Yes, me” Medusa nodded, striding forward. “I’ve done what Carol couldn’t, brought peace between our two gangs. Would you rather there be a war? Pray tell, what have I done that you find despicable? Should I have allowed her stubbornness to lead to a pointless conflict?”

Valkyrie laughed. “I think we can all see through this blatant grab for power.”

“Call it whatever you want, but the conflict is over” Jean concluded, leaving the room with her head held high and the final word said.

—————————————————————

The Red Room had never allowed Yelena Belova any opinions of her own so when she escaped she swore she’d make 1000 before she died. So far she knew she hated nationalism, imperialistic invasion, and the Eiffel Tower. But she loved vests with lots of pockets, solyanka, knives, and especially Kate Bishop. Which was why she couldn't understand how it was that Kate had stormed off after she’d saved her. Call her blindly romantic, but wasn’t their time as cellmates supposed to be the start of things going past being friends? Yes they’d only known each other for less than two weeks (including the Christmas they met), but Yelena had certainly been with people after knowing them for far less time. It hurt to try and understand what the archer’s issue could be, so the spy resolved to work through her stress with her sister the only way she knew how (not like that you perverts!).

Narrowly dodging a kick from Natasha that surely should have firmly hit her in the face, she watched as her sister’s leg swung back to a fighting stance and – given less than a millisecond to make her move – threw her knee up against Nat’s chin, managing to knock the former-Avenger off her feet and onto the floor of the gym. “Ha! I win again” Yelena removed her mouthguard and taunted, never knowing the meaning of modesty.

Natasha groaned, feeling both proud of Yelena and a little embarrassed she’d lost twice in a row to her little sister. Why was she doing this instead of getting eaten out by Pepper or Quake? “Teach me how you did that.” She said, getting up and removing the mouthguard as well.

“No.” Yelena chuckled, relaxing against the wall. Sparring with her sister almost let her entirely forget that Kate was being dramatic and obviously in the wrong.

Natasha wiped sweat off her brow. “Why not?”

“If I teach you how I do it you will do it to me later. It is my little secret.” Yelena replied, having no intention of losing anytime soon. Normally beating up the leader of a gang was a bad look for that gang leader, but everyone knew Natasha and Yelena were close enough personally and in skill that there was a drastic difference in ability it took for anyone not named Yelena to challenge the Black Widow.

“Is that why you never help the new arrivals learn how to fight for themselves?” Natasha playfully questioned.

Yelena only scoffed. “There are many reasons I don’t do that. I don’t have time. I don’t like annoying superheroes. They are very whiny. And I’m a killer, not a teacher” She asserted. She may have been in prison at the moment but her calling as a killer for hire hadn’t gone away. It just lay dormant while she worked as an enforcer.

Nat smirked. “Wow. Look at all those opinions you’ve got…”

“They’re the only four I have.” Yelena said flatly but Natasha knew that wasn’t true.

“That’s not true. You hate beets…” Black Widow offered, having seen a rather lengthy list in her sister’s cell of various opinions the woman now held.

Yelena nodded, knowing her bluff had been called. But there was one thing that demanded correction. “I do not hate beets. I don’t like beets because they taste like basement. I hate the Eiffel Tower.”

“Right. I should have known that.” That made perfect enough sense to Natasha.

Yelena grabbed a carton of cigarettes she’d set down on the floor before the fight, selecting one and raising it to her lips before she remembered…”You have to pay me for you losing.”

Natasha sighed, having been hoping her sister may forget about the fact that she needed to hold up her end of the deal. There wasn’t much to do in prison, so gambling on their own sparring sessions had become a pretty common form of passing the time. As if the sum wasn’t worth the bodies of several women, Natasha calmly handed over two more packs (one for each of her losses) that Yelena gladly took. “Smoking kills, you know.” she said as her little sister lit a cigarette.

Yelena rolled her eyes in response, finding Nat’s caution annoying.

Nat moved to stand beside Yelena where she smoothly took a cigarette from her sister’s box, lighting it and taking a long slow drag. They both contemplated their lives for a moment, Natasha on the rising issue of Carol Danvers and Yelena on why Kate was being unreasonable. It was Nat who spoke first, having sensed that something was on Yelena’s mind before they’d fought (but she knew her sister well enough to talk about personal stuff after they fought). “So how are things going with Kate?”

As if a faucet had been turned on, Yelena opened up, words spilling out all at once, “She is being so ungrateful. I do nothing but try to keep her safe and want to be a good girlfriend because I kind of really like her. But she is not. I protected her from Felicia today and she walked off, angry.” This was why Nat asked after they fought. Do it before and all she would have gotten was a simple ‘I’m fine.’

“Well have you stopped to think about why she left?”

“No.” Yelena replied honestly but not stopping to see where the flaw may lie.

“I think it would help. Try to understand why she’s hurting and then apologise.” Natasha was more than willing to work through it with Yelena, despite how painfully long it usually was trying to get her sister to understand people, but Maria Hill approaching was the cue that something was the matter and there was urgent gang business to take care of. Although she hated to do it, she bid Yelena ado hoping she could figure out the rest for herself.

—————————————————————

Two and a half hours after entering Emma Frost’s cell and Wanda was just now returning to her room. She’d have been exhausted, broken, and traumatised if she wasn’t too emotionally numb to feel much of anything and had been in prison far too long to truly register just how disturbing it all had been. Her body hurt, ass and tits stinging from being struck with a belt too many times to count. She just wanted to lay down and sleep and die.

Jean lay half-dressed on the top bunk reading through a years old magazine. She gave Wanda a simple look of acknowledgement, mildly surprised to see her. “Where have you been?”

Wanda meekly padded inside, shaking inside and out. Was it the question that made every second of what had just happened replay, or Jean digging through her mind for an answer? “E-Emma took me to her cell and she…she forced herself on me.” The words barely left her mouth, spoken in almost a whisper.

“I was almost becoming worried you’d been shivved by someone in Hydra.” Jean remarked.

Wanda wondered if Jean had even heard a word that she’d said because she didn’t respond in a way that indicated she had. “Jean, Emma raped me.”

Jean set her magazine aside, more annoyed than concerned. “Raped you? She paid me this morning to borrow you. Are we counting that as rape now?” To any reasonable individual the answer was a clear yes, but Jean wasn’t exactly in prison because she was a saint.

 

“Y-You didn’t tell me anything about that…” Wanda said slowly after a long pause. Sadly, she told herself that being sold didn’t count as her being sexually assaulted. It was just a small fee for Jean keeping her safe from the women that wanted to kill her. She almost felt stupid for not magically knowing Jean had promised her to a sadistic dominatrix.

“I guess I forgot to tell you.” Jean sighed. She’d had a long day and wasn’t interested in Wanda’s usual ‘dramatics.’

Wanda tensed, wanting to tell her girlfriend off but not having the strength too. All that came out was a weak: “Jean…” before being interrupted.

“Oh, so seemingly meeting with someone without my permission hurts you all of the sudden?” The connection to Wanda previously catching up with Nat when they played board games was pretty apparent. It was a false equivalency but Jean didn’t see it that way.

Wanda wasn’t sure what came over herself, but just for a moment she burned with a fury she hadn’t in a long while. In a tone that she’d never used against Jean before she snapped: “You should have told me that you were giving me to her!”

Jean paused, taken aback in surprise by Wanda having a backbone for once. That wasn’t how this ever went. She didn’t have time to formulate a response before The Phoenix took control now that there was someone’s spirit to crush. They couldn’t have Wanda thinking she could dare talk to them with anything but fear. “You will plead for my forgiveness.” the celestial being echoed into the witch’s head, drawing its burning talons through her mind. Although Wanda quickly submitted, the fact that she’d briefly dared to firmly object to her mistreatment at all was noteworthy.

Wanda stumbled as a ringing in her head grew louder and louder, progressively becoming the horrific shriek of The Phoenix. Its true voice was incomprehensible, indescribable to mortal minds. She’d never heard something so mind-splittingly loud in her life, certain that it would have made her lose her hearing if it wasn’t simply a mental construct. Her surroundings became fuzzy around her. Dropping to her knees she thought she was going to black out…and then it stopped.

Coming to, she saw Jean standing over her, a DVD in hand. It was one of Wanda’s cherished gifts…that The Phoenix proceeded to snap in two. Don’t question the canonicity of the Christmas special, just work with me here because the emotional weight of her breaking an object from the last chapter is interesting. While Wanda sat, horrified by the shards that remained of her gift, The Phoenix unashamedly undressed. As her jumpsuit fell to the floor she peeled off her standard issue prison panties and leaned over the bottom bunk, her bare butt sticking out. “This is the only dinner you’ve earned. Now lick.” she mentally commanded, words carving into Wanda’s mind like a knife.

Wanda shuffled closer, reminded why she didn’t object. Nestling her face close against The Phoenix’s ass, she pushed her tongue out until its wet tip entered her crack. The witch’s whole body was filled with a sensation of the utmost disgust. The only way this would end was by waiting for Jean to take back control, and so she licked. Her trickle of tears fell against Jean’s cheeks as the witch swirled her tongue in circles. The foreign feeling of sorrow only made the act all the more delicious for the celestial being in control. The Phoenix didn’t experience sexual pleasure quite like humans, instead much of the exhilaration came from the ‘taste’ of emotions that lesser-beings simply couldn’t begin to comprehend.

The witch applied more pressure and she could feel her tongue bend along as she worked her way along her girlfriend’s ass. She found it hard to not think about where Jean’s bum had been, or how badly she must have sweat in the hot prison. The Phoenix gripped the bedsheets tight, inhuman breaths growing raspier. She could feel herself getting closer.

Wanda picked up her pace, bringing her face in closer and tongue working faster as desperately wanted Jean to just cum already. The final pass of her bitch’s tongue finally brought The Phoenix to cum – directly onto the witch’s sheets. Without any indication that she was going to move, The Phoenix turned around and spread her legs, wetness staining the bedding between her thighs. “Lick it up.” she commanded in her characteristically distant tone and Wanda was powerless to object…for now. What was strange was how furious she felt inside, although she didn’t dare express it.

—————————————————————

After Nat left, Yelena had given the argument with Kate much thought. Ultimately she’d come to the conclusion that Kate was being far too sensitive…but that she would apologise anyway because she didn’t like not talking to her dorky cellmate. When Yelena returned to her cell she found Kate picking up hair ties, Cassie unfortunately had hastily departed back to Maya’s a few minutes ago.

“Oh…hey.” Kate greeted awkwardly, looking up at the blonde assassin with incredibly mixed feelings. On the one hand, she was glad to see her friend. On the other hand, she was still incredibly upset with her.

Looking remorseful, Yelena stepped inside and eyed Kate. “I want to say apology.” Good that was done. Now they could move on and live out her cellmate fantasies…except why was Kate looking at her like that?

Kate had beamed as Yelena started to apologise…and then there was no further elaboration. Still waiting, she softly said: “Ok…” There was more, right?

“I did it. I said sorry. Now we can move on.” Yelena said matter-of-factly, giving an expectant look to Kate like she was somehow being weird.

“That wasn’t an apology” Kate stated plainly, annoyance overpowering friendliness. Her hope for resolution had been cut down in an instant. “Look, if you aren’t actually going to say sorry please don’t try. I get it, you think people being stripped of their dignity is funny. But I just am not okay with seeing how some women here are treated. Today I met a girl and-” Kate started to explain but was cut off as Yelena questioned:

“You met a girl?” The assassin sounded hurt.

Kate paused, giving Yelena a look of confusion. “Okay, I feel like you're probably mentally putting way more weight on that than I meant. As I was saying-”

Yelena didn’t hear a word of what Kate had just said though. Her mind was now far too busy deciding if she needed to hurt someone to alleviate an already growing jealousy. That would show…whoever this person was. “This girl, who was she?”

“Will you let me finish a sentence?” Kate asked, mildly annoyed. “Cassie Lang”

Yelena looked relieved. Absolutely no one could ever feasibly fall for Cassie Lang. “Oh Cassie Lang. I know her. She cleans my underwear.”

Kate raised her brow, even more confused. “Okay and you were worried about me seeing her?” she questioned, giving Yelena a quizzical look.

“Relax. She does it with her mouth.” Yelena didn’t see how that kind of went against her point.

Returning back to her initial point, Kate asked: “Does she do that willingly?”

“Who chooses to wash underwear with their mouth, Kate Bishop?” Yelena responded in turn, still painfully failing to see what Kate was getting to.

“That’s my point! I don’t understand how you’re okay with all of this! All I’m saying is that maybe if someone is being forced to do something they don’t want to do we should rethink partaking in making them do it.”

Yelena nodded. “So she should be free to clean underwear with her mouth by her own choice?”

“Uh sure…I guess?” Kate answered, not really sure what to say.

Yelena laughed. “It is just what happens in prison. This is a dangerous place and she is at the bottom of the pyramid. Which means she is actually at someone’s bottom. If she wants to be protected there are things she has to do that she won’t like. But it is better than being with people who will be very rough. What do you think your mother is doing right now?”

Kate breathed in deeply, taken aback by the completely unnecessary reminder. “Say sorry.” she said, a surprisingly stern command coming from her.

But Yelena didn’t relent. It wasn’t that she was trying to hurt Kate, but she’d never really been raised with a good understanding on what not to say. So with all the grace of a machine gun in an opera house, she confidently replied: “I will not say sorry for telling the truth. She is probably getting squirted on while the other inmates test how much they can fit in her butt. But that is not my fault, so not for me to apologise for.”

Kate stood in stunned silence, taken aback by just how low Yelena had been willingly to go. In the relatively short span of time between Christmas and Kate being arrested, she’d managed to visit her mother once and it was hard to say she looked like she was doing well. She didn’t even know what to say to Yelena at the moment because words seemingly couldn’t convey what she felt. Her confidence and her frustration were both gone. Simply blank.

That was what made Yelena realise that she’d done…something. But what? It wasn’t like she was being incredibly insensitive or anything. “What did I do?”

It took Kate a moment to speak again but she did manage to find her senses. “Maybe I don’t like the fact that you’re talking about what my mom is…probably…going through” No matter what, seeing women being treated so poorly would have been concerning to say the least, but Kate realised that a part of her feelings on it were that it painfully reminded her of her mom.  With the patience of a saint, Kate managed to avoid simply yelling at Yelena for being a completely filterless asshole. “How would you feel if I said that about Nat?”

Yelena snorted. “That would never happen to her.”

“Hypothetically it happens to her. How would you feel if I said that she was going through that”

“You would be on the floor before you finished saying such an awful thing.” Yelena replied without a beat.

Working with Yelena’s violent hypothetical reaction, Kate continued: “Exactly. Ok so do you see why I might be mad at you for saying that about my mom?”

That made things click for the assassin, a rare apologetic look coming over her face as she realised why what she said may have hurt Kate’s feelings. “I am sorry, Kate Bishop. That is not happening to your mom.”

Yelena got like 40% of Kate’s point but to the archer that was a sign there was the capacity for improvement. “I actually visited her before I was arrested…and I knew something was wrong but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t know what it was. If I knew I wouldn’t see her again I would have tried harder to actually help. But what I did was yell at her for what she did.” Kate lamented, growing sadder the more she thought about it. “ I really don’t like seeing it happen to anyone, but every time I see it in the yard all I can think of are the awful things that she’s going through.” Kate sniffled, not wanting to cry.

Yelena felt an immense weight of guilt. She hated guilt. It was something she’d been trained to not feel, but something about the sad look that enveloped Kate broke her Red-Room-hardened heart. She couldn’t bear seeing the archer like this, especially not when it was because of something she did. She would have done anything to make Kate feel better and so, earnestly this time, she apologised again and pulled on Kate’s hand, moving her towards her. They both sat down on the bottom bunk bed, the feeling of fighting having left both of them. Kate was quiet for a while, getting her composure. Yelena waited patiently.

“If you look really deep in your heart, don't you think the stuff happening here isn’t normal?” Kate tried, not wanting to fight again but wanting to understand Yelena’s mindset. She looked Yelena in the eyes, trying to connect.

Yelena let out a long breath and averted her eyes awkwardly. “What you have to understand, Kate Bishop, is that I did not have a normal life. I did not have a normal childhood, or any sense of what ‘normal’ is at all. I did not know any different from that. I learned to survive whatever was thrown at me, sometimes literally. So that’s what I did here, I adapted myself to the environment.” The brief moment of vulnerability made Yelena uncomfortable, but she felt it was necessary as it seemed the only way to get through to Kate. “I don’t care what happens to those other women. I only care what happens to me, and to Natasha. And…to you.” She gave Kate a meaningful look, hoping to convey just how much she wanted to protect her cellmate and the respect she had for her. “I wish I could look at life the way you do, sometimes. True, I think it can make you weak. But I envy your positivity. I envy your empathy and the way you care about others in a way I do not think I can. But I do care about you.” The words tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop herself.

Kate didn’t know what overtook her in that moment, but without a thought she leaned in to kiss Yelena, lips locking in sweet embrace. Her heart pounded in her chest, her mind raced, but she didn’t even notice. All she cared about was the feeling of Yelena’s warm lips against hers. At one point in her life she’d thought she’d been as straight as an arrow, but she’d admittedly been questioning things ever since her first shower in The Raft – unable to resist glancing at Yelena and Natasha’s perfect bodies. And then it caught up with her. What was she doing? With a look of sudden shock she pulled away, blushing bright red.

Yelena gasped, more confused than she’d been in awhile. “What was that?” She asked, more amused than anything else. It was as if an unspoken promise had been broken and both women finally were able to see each other clearly for the first time.

“I don’t know! I-” but before Kate could say any more, the blonde had grabbed her by her orange jumpsuit, pulling her in close as they fell into a kiss. The archer moaned slightly, her mouth moving more eagerly by the second. Yelena grabbed her partner's arms, pushing her against the wall as she matched her intensity. As their kissing became more intense, the blonde's hands trailed down Kate's arms before the two women intertwined their fingers. Kate's tongue entangled Yelena's, the assassin moaning as they tasted each other. Then the assassin pulled away, moving down to kiss Kate’s neck and softly biting while the archer relented, allowing her cellmate to do whatever she wanted.

Yelena ran her hands up Kate’s jumpsuit-clad body, fingers stopping at the zipper. “Is…is this okay?” She asked carefully, almost not believing her own attitude towards the situation. She had never had to ask for consent before or cared enough to.

Kate nodded with a bright blush on her cheeks, tufts of her dark hair covering her face. “Do whatever you want.” She said breathlessly. Yelena gave the zipper a rough pull, exposing the archer’s perky breasts. Without hesitation Yelena began circling her cellmate’s nipple with her tongue. For someone who seemed ready to pounce, Yelena was taking her time and being careful. Kate’s breath hitched as the woman continued to kiss, lick, and suck her breasts, giving both equal attention. Their lips met once more as Yelena gently pushed Kate down, her head resting on the pillow and her hands resting nervously on her chest. Words failed the normally over-talkative archer, breaths hitching as Yelena kissed down the length of her  torso, never breaking eye contact as she got lower. Of all the women Yelena's been with, none had ever been like Kate.

Kate moaned softly, overcome by the pleasure of the assassin leaving no part of her untouched. Right before ripping the zipper down entirely, Yelena came back up, their lips crashing into each other again. Now it was Kate’s turn to reach for the zipper of her partner’s clothes, fidgeting with it before Yelena stopped her, sitting up and undoing the jumpsuit herself. The orange fabric slid off of Yelena’s toned shoulders, her muscles clear as day now that nothing was concealing them. Undressed, Yelena went back down between the archer’s thighs, almost going for her pussy but then switching to the other thigh. This has nothing to do with simple prison sex. This was passion and longing, meaning behind every act.

The body worship, the eye contact, the sight of Yelena in-between her legs, it all had Kate wanting more. She didn't know how much more she could take.

Yelena smiled, noticing Kate’s plight. The game had gone on long enough. She slowly dragged her tongue along Kate’s folds, eliciting a sharp gasp. The assassin wrapped her arms around Kate’s thighs, pulling her closer as she began. A strangled moan escaped the archer’s throat, her hand instinctively grabbing her lover's head as Yelena began to lap away at her. The blonde licked and sucked her clit, driving Kate over the edge as she moaned louder and louder with every wet pass.

Kate shrieked as the pressure built, gripping Yelena’s hair tighter as her thighs squeezed her head. The archer could hardly breathe between moans, overwhelmed by the sensation of the assassin’s tongue working in her pussy. Words came back to Kate, though they were rather limited. “Yes, yes, yes…” She moaned as she got closer and closer, now bucking her hips, grinding against her lover's face. She could feel it. She was about to-

Yelena stopped, pulling away right before Kate was about to cum. The archer looked down at her, confused and needy. The assassin moved back up for a kiss. As their lips met, Yelena inserted two fingers inside of Kate, slowly pumping them in and out. Strictly saying, Yelena had become somewhat of a professional and that was even before she entered prison.

Feeling Yelena’s fingers rubbing against her and tasting her own juices on Yelena’s tongue, Kate could bear it no longer. “Yelena… I'm…” she tried to get the words out between moans and kisses.

Yelena smirked with satisfaction, suddenly moving her fingers much faster as they pressed their foreheads together. Kate began to whimper, unable to form words. “That's it. Cum for me.” The assassin spoke.

At those words, Kate practically was riding her cellmate’s fingertips. And then with a crescendo, her body convulsed as she came hard, wetness pooling on the thin prison sheets. Her eyes almost rolled back as her lover's fingers continued to pump into her.

“Wow…you’re…you’re…way too good at this” Kate exclaimed as she caught her breath. While it had left her unsure about a lot of things, one thing was certain: she's never come that hard before.The archer sat up, meeting Yelena’s gaze as she looked at her with eyes full of desire.

“I know. I’m the best at this.” Yelena said with her usual humility, licking Kate’s wetness off her fingers.

Kate was still coming down from the euphoric bliss of her climax as she said: “I didn’t know that I…”

“Like women?” Yelena finished the sentence for her since clearly the archer was having a hard time talking. “You are in prison, Kate Bishop. Everyone here likes women.”

They looked at each other, bewildered and both chuckled.

—————————————————————

The next day came and Medusa was the new leader of the Galaxy Gals, the gang war seemingly over before it had started.

Stepping into the showers, the Inhuman queen had her head held high. She felt more unbeatable than she had in a long time. With every graceful step she eyed those around her with a pompous air of sweet superiority.

She reached an available shower head where she used her long locks of hair to fetch a bar of soap and hand it to Ayesha so that the golden alien may wash her new mistress under the hot stream of water. Though she protested at first, Ayesha eventually submitted to the task and began running the bar of soap along Medusa’s wet body.

Deep in thought, Medusa reflected over what her next course of action as gang leader would be. Sure they were now subservient to Jean Grey…for now, but there were a great many things that needed to be done before things were to Medusa’s liking. First matter of business would be ridding herself of the lingering nuisance that Carol presented. She could have her killed, but admittedly she much preferred the idea of taking her for herself or giving her up as a gift to Jean.

But Medusa’s thought would be broken as she felt someone shove her against the wall from behind. She tried to turn to see who it was but, pinned against the tiles, the most she could catch was the sight from her peripheral of Ayesha stepping aside. Suddenly she felt someone pressing their body against hers, wrapping one arm around her chest to grope her, the other down her thigh towards sticking their fingers in her pussy, and she could feel their hard nipples against her back.

“Get off me!” Medusa protested, coming to her senses and trying to use her hair to wrap around their throat...but someone else came beside her and held her hair tight in their grasp.

“You’re ours now…” the voice of the person with their body against hers spoke, robotic and sultry at the same time. It was distinctly Nebula.

Medusa was spun around to face her assailants, suddenly overcome with terror when she saw who they were: Nebula, Proxima Midnight, and Supergiant.

“Not just you but this whole gang” Nebula continued, pumping her fingers in and out of the fearful queen. Raising her tone, she addressed those in the Galaxy Gals: “Hear me and rejoice! Your gang has the privilege of being saved by the Daughters of the Great Titan. If any of you don’t like that though…” Nebula pulled her hand from between Medusa’s thighs and began to instead choke her. “...we’ll do the same to you…”

And with those words the three Daughters of Thanos began violently taking turns using their brand new plaything, forcing her into licking just about everything there was to lick. If Medusa thought serving as Carol’s advisor was degrading, she certainly wasn’t prepared for what Nebula did to her. Medusa’s gang was usurped from her grasp just as she’d finally taken control.

—————————End Credit Scene————————-

“You’re not taking me somewhere to kill me are you? That will not go well for you.” Yelena remarked as she was escorted by two guards. She and Kate had been asleep in each other’s arms when she’d abruptly been pulled from her cell, told to get dressed, and bound for a destination unknown. The handcuffs and shackles they’d put on her seemed rather excessive since she could have probably killed her guards regardless, but the most she did for now was roll her eyes in annoyance. She was still reminiscing on the moment between her and the archer and nothing could ruin her good mood.

They passed through several unfamiliar hallways, doors closing behind them as they went, and went up a flight of stairs. The room they finally arrived at was nice, far nicer than any other location in The Raft. Standing at the window overlooking the tumultuous ocean down below stood Warden Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Without turning to address her guest, she spoke: “Yelena, I’d like to talk to you about the Thunderbolts Initiative…”

Chapter 32: A Spectacular Valentine’s Day

Summary:

In this belated Valentine’s chapter we explore five stories — each from the perspective of one of Spider-Man’s five incarcerated exes. Under the ownership of the cruel and vindictive prison mommy Felicia Hardy; Liz Allan, Michelle Jones, Mary Jane Watson, and Gwen Stacy adapt to their stint in The Raft the best they can. Jealousy, sex, and romantic rivalries can be found aplenty in prison, but none compare to that of a cell full of women who each thought they were Peter Parker’s one and only love.

Notes:

Due to the nature of the ever-expanding universe that The Raft has become, I will now be marking it as a series where, alongside being posted here, stand-alone chapters such as this one will be uploaded by themselves and may be read by those who don’t want to commit to 30+ chapters to read a story that is almost entirely unrelated to the larger narrative. Also, I’ve reached the maximum number of tags (and yet more characters are being introduced) so it just seems to be the best course of action to separate things.

Chapter Text

Michelle Jones returned dejectedly to the cramped prison cell she shared with Felicia Hardy, Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, and Liz Allan. Wearing nothing but the humiliating orange bikini she was forced to put on, the harsh cell lighting glinted off Michelle’s sweat-covered skin as she staggered along, still panting from her shift in the vibranium mines. She could barely keep herself upright and so, unimaginably exhausted, she flopped down to the bottom bunk. 

Due to the crowded arrangement of things, Michelle almost never had the bed just to herself. Some days she laid with Mary Jane, others it was with Liz, much less often it was with Gwen. But right now they were all preoccupied, and so, just for a moment, Michelle had the bed all to herself.

Lost in her grim recollection of how her life was ruined, Michelle barely took notice of the thin-metal frame of the bunk above her being rocked like it was about to collapse. It was a sound she heard pretty often, either coming from her cell or the ones adjacent. Often it was both. 

Above, Liz was moaning uncontrollably, partly just to appease her cruel prison mommy. Everyone had their own way of coping with belonging to Black Cat and, if you asked Michelle, Liz had chosen to do it by becoming a complete kiss-ass (in the metaphorical and literal sense, since technically they all had to do the act). “Yes! Babe! Yes!” Liz obnoxiously moaned with all the conviction of a porn star as she lightly grabbed onto Felicia’s shoulder for support and managed to continue fingering her as Felicia played with her pussy. She wouldn’t be allowed to cum (none of them were), but deep down she still desperately hoped maybe if she sucked up to Felicia enough she’d finally get to. Today wasn’t that day though as Felicia gasped, spraying Liz’s fingertips, and then disappointingly, yet predictably, stopped letting her bitch have any fun. 

But while the constant moaning for an half an hour straight didn’t annoy Michelle, it got on Gwen Stacy’s nerves. The brilliant blonde lay on the floor trying to cover her ears and close her eyes, thinking about being with Peter outside of prison. She couldn’t handle it much longer. She was going to lose her mind!  But eventually the moaning stopped. Gwen looked up at the top bunk in curiosity and saw both of the girls hugging each other. 

Black Cat’s tits were so big and perfectly shaped, Gwen would have been lying if she said that she wasn’t at least a little turned on. She’d never been attracted to another woman, but while looking at the two of them together she suddenly felt her cotton prison-panties becoming wet. Although she wanted to rip her jumpsuit open and start fingering herself like she hadn’t touched herself in months (because she hadn’t), she didn’t. And not just because Felicia didn’t allow her bitches to masturbate. Gwen Stacy had standards and she couldn’t believe that she was actually attracted to a power hungry bitch like Felicia. It surely had to be the desperation of being away from men for so long, right?

Wearily Mary Jane Watson rested her head against the barred window, looking longingly at the vast ocean surrounding The Raft; deep down dreaming of freedom despite knowing it would never happen. She’d have done anything to be away from her cellmates. To not have to hear the incessant moans. She hated all of them and yet she was stuck with them for the rest of her life. 

Michelle Jones shut her eyes, the crappy prison bedding feeling strangely comfortable after the day she’d had. Her arms ached and her body was still burning up. It was strange how the days seemed to drag in prison, merging all together into a mental blur of hard labour, sexual humiliation, and seething jealousy of Peter Parker’s other girlfriends. It weighed on her in that moment just how miserable she was. How had her life turned out like this? That’s when her thoughts began to drift to how she ended up in this living Hell in the first place…

————————————————————— 

The 3rd of September, 2024 – two years ago. It had been a late night as Michelle got ready for bed in her dorm room at ESU. Having changed into a comfortable red pair of Spider-Man themed pyjamas, made herself a cup of peppermint tea, and opened her computer to do a little more studying before bed, she’d put her headphones on and slowly began to drift into sweet sleep while reading a paper on psychology. She was so tired that she probably wouldn’t have heard if someone entered her room-

That was when she was suddenly stirred by what sounded like a battering ram being knocked against her door. She then realised to her horror that it was a battering ram. “What the fuck?” Michelle groggily grumbled, dazed and confused, as she tried to get out of bed. Tossing her blanket aside and rising to her feet, it slowly dawned on her why they were here. The Sokovia Accords. She’d been harbouring the location of her boyfriend, Peter Parker, and SWORD had finally caught on. 

“Oh…oh shit.” She said, her realisation growing at just how screwed she was. The agents were yelling now but it was hard to hear them. Michelle managed to make out phrases and words, enough for her rapidly-awakening mind to put it together. They were here to arrest her. 

Michelle’s eyes darted to the window, wondering if she could make it and climb out before they grabbed her. She’d barely taken a step in that direction before the door shattered into pieces and she heard one of the agents shout: “Don’t move! Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your head!” There was no use in running as her apprehenders filed in, high-tech weaponry raised. 

“Okay, okay!” Michelle panicked, her voice trembling as she raised her hands in surrender and slowly assumed the position. 

The agents roughly grabbed her arms, forcing them behind her back. Her wrist and ankles were bound in painfully tight cable ties. Even amidst the complete chaos, Michelle couldn’t help but dryly ask: “Is this really necessary?”

"You've violated the Sokovia Accords of the Geneva Conventions. You are a war criminal by international and US law." The commander of the agents addressed. 

“Geneva con-...What? Who did I torture?” Michelle asked, equal parts indignant and perplexed. She wondered how the world got this fucked up so fast. How had people voted for such draconian legislation? 

The agents didn’t respond though. Instead, they threw a black bag over her head and carted her off through the university dorm in front of a bewildered crowd of classmates and fellow students. She wriggled and thrashed as best she could, giving a series of muffled yells into the bag. It achieved nothing. Hope was taken from her when she sensed them toss her into the back of a vehicle of some kind. A windowless black van most likely. She seriously doubted that they’d give her her one phone call as she felt the vehicle take off at high speeds. 

Michelle was left to roll around the back for what seemed like forever, wondering where they were taking her. She knew it couldn’t have been anywhere nice, but she would be given a trial, right? Surely a court of law would see this for the travesty of justice that this was. Questions flooded Michelle’s mind as she realised she didn’t even know who her captors were. All that she could do was pull at her restraints, less out of an expectation of anything than out of a desire to feel like she was doing…something. The hours back there drew on like years…and then the van stopped. 

The agents took her out, still blackbagged and bound, carrying her into a room. She then felt one of the men cut the cable around her legs before placing her down on her feet, hands still tied in front of her. They then removed the bag and handed her over to a group of women in high-tech uniforms, not that Michelle took in what they were wearing in her disoriented state. Nothing seemed to make sense. 

Taking her by her arms, they led her down a hall into a separate room where she was escorted in front of a white desk with what looked like an orange prison uniform placed on top. It was in her size, but there wasn’t a bra or pair of shoes to go with it. Michelle’s bonds were cut by a woman who looked her up and down with lust in her eyes, making the captured girl shift with discomfort. 

Michelle sighed, looking at the uniform. “Fine, let’s get this over with. Where do I go to change?”

The woman chuckled. “You don’t go anywhere. I’m gonna search you first, princess” She wolfishly grinned.

Michelle felt her skin crawl at those words. “Search? Is this like a patdown or an…airport scanner situation or…?”

“You could say it’s like the airport.” The guard replied. “Place your hands on the wall, shoulder length apart and stick your butt out.” 

Michelle nodded and obediently assumed the position in time to feel the guard step behind her, her hot breath breathing down her neck as she eyed the captive’s ass in the tight PJs she wore. “Before I begin, do you have any sharp objects on your person? Anything that could prick me?”

“Uh…my ears are pierced…” Michelle said weakly. “The needle might, y’know…”

"That's fine, but we will have to remove the piercings. I'll get you to do that in a minute. Right now I'm not worried about your ears, darlin" The woman began to pat Michelle down, starting with her chest. It clearly wasn't procedure as she started to get way too grabby, groping her tits and then moving down her waist until her hands cupped Michelle’s ass in both hands.

“H-Hey!” Michelle cried out, almost involuntarily. “There’s…There’s nothing there…”

The guard spanked Michelle’s ass with a loud smack . “That’s what they all say, darlin. I’ll be the judge of that.” Michelle then heard her take a step back. “Ok, Jones. Now can you take your arms off the wall and turn around for me?”

Michelle did so, turning around to face her, looking noticeably less confident than she’d been a minute ago. 

“Now strip for me. Remove every article one at a time. Start with the top and work your way down. Put them in a pile on the desk next to you.” The guard was not the patient type. 

Michelle’s eyes widened and she blinked. “You can’t be serious…” She replied.

“I’m very fucking serious. Like you must have been for harbouring that freak enemy of the state.” That was the nicest way the woman knew how to ask. 

“I-I…” Michelle sighed before wordlessly beginning to unbutton her pyjama top. She’d never felt so humiliated in her life…but this was only the beginning. She didn’t know that humiliation would become something of a daily occurrence going forward. 

But evidently she was moving too slow for her bitchy guard, who yelled: “I don’t got all night, bitch. Strip!” Hurrying up, Michelle took off her top and put it on the table, moving her left arm to cover her breasts. “It ain’t nothing I haven’t seen before.” The guard chided. 

“You haven’t seen mine.” Michelle grumbled back, awkwardly taking off her pyjama bottoms with her right hand. 

“Oh don’t worry, I’ll have a close look at them pretty soon. Hurry up.” 

Michelle hastily put the bottoms on the table and tried to cover herself as fast as possible. But it didn’t matter because the guard had a new command:

“Take those earrings out, honey.” She said with a lustful smirk. It was pretty clear she only was really ordering it because she wanted to make this as miserable of an experience as possible. Michelle sighed again, unable to resist. Reluctantly she moved her arms and went to take her earrings out, blushing hard as her perky brown tits and shaved pussy were revealed to the room. 

The guard looked excited by the sight. “Alright, Jones, turn back around and assume the position again.”

“Wha…You’ve already pat me down…” Michelle complained. 

The guard smiled sadistically, practically salivating at how completely powerless her plaything was. “You’re right. And now I’m gonna do more than just pat you” 

Michelle was disgusted but got the impression that arguing wouldn’t improve her situation. She turned around and then the guard stepped back behind. She grabbed hold of Michelle’s breasts, kneading them thoroughly and firmly. Pinching at the girl’s nipples. Michelle gasped. “H-Hey! That’s sexual harassment! I have rights…” 

The guard slapped the girl’s ass again. “Oh bullshit. You don’t have any rights, bitch” She went back to kneading Michelle’s tits until she was satisfied there was nothing between them. 

Michelle then heard the snap of latex and her sphincter closed on reflex. A second later an unlubed finger entered her ass and started probing around the walls. 

“Ah! There’s…nothing…up there!” Michelle protested. 

“Is that right? Maybe I’m not looking hard enough!” The guard shoved a second finger up Michelle’s tight virgin hole. Michelle hadn't ever let Peter back there before because of course she hadn’t. She hadn’t let anyone back there because it fucking hurt, as the guard was so kindly demonstrating now. She grit her teeth and mentally begged for it to be over soon. 

But the guard wasn’t satisfied. She still had one more hole to go and so, without changing gloves, she forced her fingers up Michelle’s pussy. “So this is where you take all your boyfriend’s spider cum then, Jones?” she crassly asked, shoving her fingers in and out of the captive rapidly. Literally all pretense of procedure was gone and Michelle was left violated…and strangely aroused. Her heart sank at the fear of if Peter had evaded capture, but selfishly, she was a bit more worried about herself in the moment. He had powers, she didn’t. She had no idea what would happen to her. 

The guard probed Michelle’s pussy for a full minute before finally saying: “Alright, Jones. You’re clear for contraband. You can get dressed now.” Michelle had been waiting for her to say those words for the last ten minutes. 

Michelle hurried over to the table, any confidence she formerly had now definitely gone as she changed into the orange jumpsuit. Frowning, she looked down at her new attire. Orange was not her colour. She didn’t even stop to ask why she hadn’t been given shoes in her mortified state. 

The guard pulled a pair of cuffs from her belt and fastened them tightly around Michelle’s wrists. "Now I'm going to escort you to your trial. I dont to have to tell you this, but I'm legally required to. Despite your clear lack of rights, you do have one. The right to an attorney. If you don't have one, the court will provide one. Is there somebody you would like us to contact for you"

Michelle blinked. "My trial...but...what about charges? An arraignment? A bail hearing?”

"All that will happen in the same hearing." The guard answered. 

Things just kept getting worse. “That...that can't be legal." Michelle insisted.

"I assure you that under the Sokovia Accords, it is indeed very legal. We can do anything we want to unlawful belligerents like you.” The guard said ominously. “Now I'm gonna ask you again. Do you want us to contact a legal consul for you?"

There was a single name that came to Michelle’s mind. A lawyer who worked on exception cases involving superhumans and did cases like this quid pro quo. Michelle took a deep breath to control herself. "Jennifer." She replied. "Jennifer Walters"

The guard nodded. "Figures you’d say her name. You fuck a freak, you want one to defend you too."

-

Michelle was taken to a small interview room. There was a mirror on the wall behind her which she knew must go two ways. There were probably government agents watching behind it. But that didn’t matter at the moment. She just wanted her lawyer to arrive so that she could escape this living nightmare as soon as possible. After what felt like forever, the woman Michelle summoned to defend her arrived with her arms full of legal documents and a sympathetic face. 

"Hey..." Michelle said, trying to sound less scared than she was. 

“Ms Jones, I'm Jennifer Walters, you asked for me to defend you?” Jenn asked as she took a seat opposite of the young woman in front of her. 

"Yeah." Michelle nodded. "I guess they...told you what I'm in for...do you handle this kind of thing often?"

Jenn nodded in turn. “Lately, It's all I've been dealing with. Now, MJ, is that what you prefer or should I call you Michelle?”

"Uh, MJ please." Michelle said. She usually reserved that for her friends, but if she was trusting this woman with her freedom, she figured she should probably think of her as a friend, if only as a coping mechanism.

Jenn looked at her with the deepest sympathy, holding her hand. “MJ, I'm not going to lie. I'll do my best for you, but I'm not sure how much I can do exactly. Although I'm bound to abide by them, these accords are a travesty of the sanctity of the law that I have sworn to uphold. 95% of the time, they've already made up their mind before you step foot in the courtroom”

Michelle went pale. "But...but surely a jury will..."

“There is no jury. And even if there was, public opinion has turned on superheroes not owned by Oscorp.” Jenn relayed regretfully. It had become increasingly harder to fight for superhumans when every factor of the legal system was against them. 

"But...the constitution. I...I have a right to..." Michelle’s voice grew weak as her assertion died in her throat. She gulped. “So…what’s going to happen to me?”

Jenn let go of Michelle’s hand so that she may peruse through one of her files. “Well that depends on what you want to do. The way I see it, I've been looking at your case and there's a mountain of evidence that you've helped conceal Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man so you can't plead ignorance. They won't buy that”

Michelle solemnly understood. "So...some sort of plea deal, then?"

Jenn nodded. “The best we can do is plead guilty, but argue that you are not a danger to anyone. You yourself have no super powers or abilities.”

"Okay...and what happens to me then?" Michelle asked fearfully. 

“Right now, you are facing indefinite imprisonment at The Raft. But we can appeal to the judge to have you spend a lesser sentence in a normal prison” Jenn replied. 

Michelle grimaced. "So I'm definitely going to prison?"

Jennifer took a long breath. She seemed to meditate for a moment, as if to control her heart rate. She composed herself and then responded: “I'm afraid so. I'm so sorry that your only choices are prison and prison, but regular prison will be alot easier than life on the Raft. I might be able to get you released in fifteen years time instead of never. Begging the Judge for clemency is our only choice”

"Fifteen years?!" Michelle asked, louder than she intended. She was in college with a bright future ahead of her…and now she faced the fact that all of that was about to be ripped away. She took a few deep breaths and nodded weakly. "Okay..." She gasped. "Okay I'll...I'll take the plea."

“Alright. I'll do what I can for you” Jenn stood up and tucked the documents under her arm, then she walked over to the door and called a guard over. 

"Uh, just...one more thing..." Michelle implored. 

Jenn stopped. “Yes?”

The words got caught in Michelle’s throat, her own question seeming unbearable. "What can I expect...y'know...in there?" She asked cautiously. 

Jenn went silent as a somber look washed over her face. She thought for a second on what to say. “Have you ever seen the show Wentworth?”

"No." Michelle replied. "I've seen Orange is the New Black if that helps.”

“Well it's…” Jenn stumbled over her own words. “...It's worse than that. I won't lie to you, it's a nightmare, but real prison is heaven compared to the hell that is The Raft.” An essence of dread hung over her. If it could terrify the great She-Hulk, Michelle didn’t want to imagine how bad it could really be. 

Michelle went silent, uncharacteristically bereft of snark or smart comebacks. "Okay." She said quietly. "I'm ready."

And so before the court Michelle was dragged, on trial for helping the man she loved. The room was clearly not set up the same as it should have been. There was no jury. Not even a stand for the jury. Just a single judge who also acted as prosecutor. Michelle rolled her eyes at that, the unfairness of the whole process on full display. She idly wondered why they bothered with the veneer of a trial at all.

Looming high, the judge banged her gavel and then spoke. “Michelle Jones, you are brought here before me today accused of the following breaches of the Sokovia Accords: Aiding and abetting an unregistered living weapon of mass destruction, concealing the Identity of a living weapon of mass destruction, Fraternizing with an unregistered living weapon of mass destruction, and obstruction of justice…”

“Objection your honor. My client has never directly impeded a criminal investigation” Jennifer’s veins glowed a pale green for a moment. 

The judge wasn’t going for it though. “Overruled. Failure to inform is impediment. How does the defendant plead?”

Michelle sighed and rolled her eyes, briefly having thought about commenting on the obvious unfairness of the whole process but deciding against us. She met Jennifer's eyes, looking for her approval, and nodded. And with that, Jenn replied: “My client pleads guilty on all charges, your honour, and will comply with any demands you make for her to receive clemency.” 

The judge banged their gavel. “Why should the defendant be granted clemency?”

Jennifer stood before the judge and she argued: “Your honor, my client has no previous convictions. Until the passing of the Sokovia Accords, Michelle Jones was the picture of a law abiding citizen. She didn't even have overdue library books. My client, while guilty of 'fraternizing with living WMDS" is not one herself. She is a mortal human aged just 19 and is no way fit to be housed in such a high secure facility as The Raft with many known criminals including mutants, terrorists,  assassins, neo-nazis, and supposedly, alien warlords. Instead, I plead with you, Honourable Judge Torres, to sentence my client to serve her term at a regular civilian prison. I seriously fear for my clients well being and safety in a facility like The Raft” 

Michelle’s heart quickened at her lawyer’s words. Neo-nazis? Alien warlords? This was all completely insane when all she’d done was date a classmate. Her mind began to race but stopped when Jennifer looked at her and smiled - as if to say that she'd achieved what she promised, that Michelle would go to a normal prison. But we of course know how things would turn out for poor Michelle. 

The judge furiously thundered her gavel. "Did you client think about the safety and well being of the people of this great nation when she harboured a dangerous individual who knowingly defied SWORD by breaking the accords?"

“W-what? But... Your honour” Jenn stammered, stunned. 

The next words barely registered for Michelle, who was left in mouth-hanging-open horror as the judge decreed: “Michelle Jones, I find you guilty of all charges and sentence you to indefinite imprisonment aboard The Raft!”

Jenn’s skin shifted to a vague green for a moment. She couldn’t help Michelle now. All she could do was try to control her outrage at this travesty of justice. She was left breathing heavily, face in her palm, as Michelle was grabbed by each arm and dragged from the court, crying out: "What the fuck!? This is ridiculous! I played along with your stupid fake court and I didn't even do anything!" 

The flight to The Raft was all a blur, hours lost as Michelle sat in a disbelieving trance. She’d kicked and screamed all the way to the transportation quinjet, cursing and begging them to send her anywhere else, but now she was silent. Degraded, humiliated, exhausted, and terrified. ‘Indefinite imprisonment aboard The Raft.’ The sentence repeated in her head over and over again, making her feel sick. The haunting realisation that she’d die in prison gnawed at her sanity. This was her life now. She was an inmate. All hope of ever seeing the outside world was crushed. And what would life in this supposed Hell look like? She couldn’t bear to think of just how awful it must be. 

Arriving at The Raft and having then endured another handsy search, this time at the hands of one Officer Weaver, Michelle was escorted through Cellblock C – in which she’d done her absolute best to ignore the catcalls of the horny inmates. Then, before she could even take in the sight of her cell, she was pushed in and the door was locked behind her. 

"Uh..." Michelle began, cautiously. "...Hello? I'm Michelle...Michelle Jones..." She nervously introduced herself before even fully taking in the sight of the three women she was bunked with. 

“Michelle Jones?!” One of the women suddenly exclaimed, voice all too familiar. 

Michelle looked on in surprise. "Liz?!"

“Oh my god they got you too!” Liz looked like she’d seen better days as she sat tiredly against the wall. Her jumpsuit lay unzipped, halfway down to being entirely open. Recognising her, Michelle looked to the other two. The first was a redhead, freckled, similar in age to Michelle. She hardly looked intimidating, but the hateful glare she gave Michelle was more than a little unwelcoming. The other sat on the edge of her bed looking at the new girl with interest. She obviously knew Michelle, but Michelle didn’t know her. The woman had a strange mask over her eyes that the guards had apparently allowed her to wear. It wasn’t like they didn’t know her identity. But the most notable detail about her was her pure ice-white hair.

“Well, well, well. Isn't this a pleasant surprise? You must be the main girl ” The woman with white hair smiled. 

Michelle stared blankly. "The...what?"

“You're the one he tells everybody else about!” the mysterious woman replied. 

That didn’t help clarify things at all for Michelle. "What? Who? Also...who are you?"

She got up from her bed and smiled suspiciously at Michelle, extending her hand out. “I've heard so much about you…”

Michelle gave her a wary look, knowing better than to just trust the first person you meet in prison. Still, she shook her hand. "You have me at a disadvantage, then. Who are you?"

“Felicia Hardy. You probably heard about me on the news. The super clever and talented cat-burglar? Might have heard about my run ins and tumblings with a mutual acquaintance of ours.” She looked at the mostly silent Liz and the redhead. “Lizzy knows him too. Isn’t that right Lizzy?” Liz only nodded meekly. 

"Yeah...I heard about you." The stories of the Black Cat and Spider-Man made Michelle jealous at first, but he’d assured her there was nothing between them and she trusted him.

“Oh? So you know why I called you the main girl then?” Felicia leaned in and whispered intently into Michelle’s ear: “Because I'm the side girl. Well, one of many, many side girls, apparently. Peter Parker is a bastard , and not just ‘cause he put me here.”

Michelle’s heart skipped a beat. "No. You're lying..."

“He put you here too. Effectively, anyway. Did you know you're not the only girl he sees with the initials MJ? He likes redheads too…” Felicia shot the redhead, Mary Jane Watson, a spiteful look and gagged. “And blondes, even though I should be plenty blonde enough for him.” Seeing the doubt on Michelle’s face, she asked Liz and the redhead: “Am I lying?”

“No mommy. You're not lying.” They both said at the same time. 

Michelle felt dizzy. She stumbled backwards leaning against the cell door. It wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true. If it was true, then she’d lost the rest of her life for a guy who cheated on her...a lot. She refused to accept it. A flash of anger crossed her face and, getting to her feet with as much stability as she could manage, she swung as Felicia, attempting an open handed slap…but she blocked it effortlessly then pinned Michelle to the ground. 

“Try that again when you’re big enough, girly.” Felicia taunted, holding Michelle to the ground by her wrists and coming in face to face. “Are you gonna behave?”

"Get off me, lying bitch!" Michelle shrieked. 

Felicia only shook her head and giggled cruelly. “No, no, no. That's being a bad girl. Bad girls get punished. Good girls get rewards... Maybe. If I feel like it.” She pressed Michelle against the ground harder. “Will you be a good girl? Or does mommy have to punish you?”

Michelle kept impotently thrashing for a few minutes until it was clear that she was achieving nothing. She gasped, exhausted. She’d been in prison for all of five minutes and already was being bullied by a much meaner girl...

“So Michelle, are you gonna be a good girl?” Felicia asked, tone dripping with sadism. Between gasps, Michelle weakly nodded and then Black Cat released her from her iron grip. “See, that wasn’t so hard…unlike Peter's dick. That was hard as fuck when I rode it.” Regrettably, Felicia wished she could have him again. She wasn’t gay. At least not willingly. She’d just learned to make do with what she had available in a world of only women. She knew she’d never feel the touch of a man again…but neither would Michelle. And that thought excited her. 

Felicia sat back down on the bottom bunk and giggled deviously at the sight of the wordless Michelle. “What's wrong Michelle? Cat got your tongue?”

"You're lying." Michelle said with less conviction than before. "Peter wouldn't do that."

Felicia rolled her emerald eyes. “You know, I thought that too. But then I remembered that he was fucking you, while he was fucking me. So that got me thinking, who else is he sleeping with? See I'm a resourceful girl and very jealous. I wondered why he would always see his old science partner. I mean stupid me thought she was just helping him with a project. I guess she was. Just not the way I thought.”

Michelle remembered Gwen Stacy. The young, blonde biology major who all the boys were obsessed with. She’d been silently relieved when Gwen transferred to a different school. The idea that Peter was cheating with her...that wrang truer than him cheating with Liz or Felicia…or whoever the fuck Mary Jane was.

“It broke my heart when I spied her sucking his cock.” The menace in Felicia’s tone only seemed to grow the more she talked about Peter. “How could he do that to me? I'm the best thing that ever happened to him! But it wasn't enough for the horny motherfucker. Apparently he just couldn't resist redheads. Not that I can blame him”

"Stop." Michelle said weakly. "I...I don't want to know any more." She felt like everything inside of her was crumbling. 

Felicia didn’t stop though. She loved every second of Michelle’s rapid process of hurt, betrayal, and horror. It was exactly what the catburglar had felt and she revelled in seeing Peter’s other flings go through it too. “You need to hear the truth Michelle. I know it hurts. Trust me. God do I know how much it hurts!” She looked at the redhead. “Mary Jane Watson. An acting major. Which of course means she's a slut. Typical drama queen. Do you know she actually used to let him fuck her in the ass? She’s a fucking whore.”

Mary Jane looked like she was fuming, but didn’t dare say a word in objection to her prison mommy. Meanwhile, Michelle looked at the floor wanting to cry. She felt like she was about to vomit. She wanted to curl up and die. She was going to spend the rest of her life in prison for a man who didn't even love her…

“I would have told you sooner, but spider boy decided he didn't like me anymore and sent me to this lesbian hell. It's really awful. I fucking hate it here. But I've been able to survive.” Felicia said. “Question is, can you survive here without me looking after you?” 

Goosebumps covered Michelle’s body as a bad feeling tightened in her gut. She’d seen Orange is the New Black and knew exactly what Felicia meant. But she wasn’t a lesbian. Sure she’d hypothetically imagined sex with a woman, but she knew for a fact she was straight. But she was so scared at the same time of how the other girls were far worse than the mean white haired slut who stole her boyfriend. "I...I don't know." She started to answer. "Wh...what's it like in here?"

Black Cat smiled, hoping she would ask just that question. “Close your eyes. I’ll describe it to you.” She waited for Michelle to oblige – which she did with a sigh. “The bars are so cold. The cell is so dark. All you can hear is breathing, moaning and sobbing all around you. The other girls are all so mean. They have super powers, or they’re blood thirsty killers. But the worst thing is that they’re all lesbians and they all want the new girl. They turn you out. They put things in your butt. They make you eat out their whole gang. They pimp you out for cigarettes. They dress you up like a dolly and put pretty makeup on you. You're working 10 hours every day in a hot vibranium mine where you're chained to ten other women. The tools are so heavy and the chains only make them heavier. That's what it's like here. And a girl like you? Oh, you'll be eaten alive here. Maybe literally. All kinds of freaks here. I don't know how I survived…”

Michelle shifted uncomfortably, visibly close to panic. 

“...But, I know that you won't be able to survive the same way. So, what is it Michelle? You want me to help you stay alive? I feel like us paramours need to stick together, y’know?” This was the same deal Felicia had sold to Liz and Mary Jane and, later, Gwen Stacy. 

Whether it was fear of incarcerated life or a broken spirit from learning the man she loved had betrayed her trust so many times, Michelle wasn’t certain. But weakly she asked: "...What will I have to do?"

Black Cat closed her eyes and let out a long sensual, feline-like purr. “All you gotta do is be my girl. I wanna see what Petey saw in you. I want you to eat my ass and suck on my titties that absolutely dwarf yours.”

Liz grabbed Michelle’s arm, pleading: “I-It’s easier this way…” She’d tried denying Felicia when she first arrived and…things didn’t go well.

The plea had the opposite of the intended effect on Michelle though – snapping her out of her subservient ideation for a moment. She looked at Felicia in sheer disgust. "So, I'd be, what...your slave?"

“In layman's terms, yes. But we usually use the term ‘bitch.’” Felicia replied, confidence in her tone conveying that she knew she’d win her new toy over eventually. 

Michelle grimaced at the term. "How is being owned by you better than being owned by others?"

“I mean, you can find out if you want…” Felicia suggested. “The other girls will trade you for fishsticks. You'll go around like the prison bicycle. Girls might fight you too. Fuck, they’d probably shank you for extra slop at the mess hall. Plus, everybody knows that HYDRA are nazis…”

"Nazis...you're not serious...?" Michelle stammered. 

Felicia knew how to scare her girls. “Mhm. Literal nazis from Germany. They say they split with Hitler but I say sometimes a spade is a spade.” 

Michelle squirmed as she considered the implications. Her chances of surviving an encounter with a Nazi gang as a black girl were...not great. "Okay." She sighed. "I guess...I guess you own me."

“Kiss me” Felicia commanded abruptly. 

Michelle then made the first big mistake of what not to do when you’re a prison bitch. Without thinking, she asked. "Why?"

“Because I want you to kiss me. I want to know why he kissed you more than he kissed me.” Felicia replied, tapping her sharp nails on the bed. 

Michelle stood and, with some awkwardness, moved to kiss her. Not sure where to put her hands, they sort of hung awkwardly beside her body. Still, she kissed the catburglar, trying to muster the same passion she always kissed Peter with. But her discomfort didn’t matter because Felicia fell into Michelle’s lips and hugged her passionately. Their tongues danced around the inside of Felica's mouth for a long uncomfortable period, seemingly unending. But Felicia did pull back, Michelle’s saliva still on her tongue. “Wow, you really are a good kisser. I wonder if you’d kiss my ass with the same enthusiasm”

Before Michelle had a moment to react, Black Cat tore her jumpsuit open, bearing a chest that made Michelle ever so slightly insecure, and tossed her attire to the floor. The thief’s pussy was bushy, and from the colour Michelle could tell that Felicia’s hair really was natural white. 

Felicia turned around and laid down on the bed, her plump pale ass hanging over the side, presented perfectly. “It won’t kiss itself…”

Michelle’s eyes went wide and she looked at Liz, silently pleading for advice. The response she received was one in favour of compliance. “It's easier if you just do what she says, Michelle.” Liz replied, her tone a little more callous than it had been previously. 

With no other choice, Michelle hesitantly dropped to her knees and began half-heartedly kissing Felicia’s pasty rear. 

“We both know you can put more effort into it than that. Kiss my crack like you kissed him.” Felicia chided with a tsk to her tone. The new girl would need a lot of practice but Felicia wasn’t shy about making her do this every day. “I've showered. It's perfectly clean.” She reassured. 

Michelle cringed, but obeyed, pressing further into it and using her tongue. She didn’t know what she was doing but it elicited a sensual moan out of her tormentor. Michelle decided that her previous strip-search wasn’t the most humiliating experience ever. This was. Nonetheless, she kept up the work. licking her unshaved crack for what felt like half an hour. 

Felicia, for her part, was loving every second of it. She wiggled her butt against her pet’s face and said: “Now kiss my cheeks, MJ2. That's your new name, by the way. I just decided.” 

Michelle pulled away for a moment. "MJ2?" She asked, perplexed, but carried out her order, kissing her cheeks.

“It's just easier to say. I'm not gonna call you both MJ.” Felicia knew Michelle had come before Mary Jane, so giving her a name that implied she came after was just a little more salt in a gaping wound. But she couldn’t be all insults. “You're doing a great job by the way”

The praise was...strangely compelling to Michelle. She couldn’t really explain why. 

“Such a good girl. Kissing mommy's ass so well.” Even when praising Felicia found a way to demean. The whole process was bizarre, humiliating and gross. Michelle just worked through it in eager anticipation of it being over. When she was done, Felicia climbed up to the top bed and beckoned Michelle to join.

Felicia pressed her still-naked body against Michelle as she squeezed her tightly. “I could have made you sleep on the floor, but I told you good girls get rewarded. ”

Michelle wanted to argue how much of a reward it really was, but was too exhausted. She was warm in the embrace of the awful gate gay who stole her boyfriend away from her. It didn’t  feel right, but it did feel safe. Despite the noise in the hall, she slowly managed to drift off to sleep, marking her first night in prison. 

————————————————————— 

The 14th of February, 2025 – In every universe Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man and in every universe it doesn't end well. In this case, it ended in a life sentence in the most dangerous women’s prison on the planet. Predictably, prison hadn't been easy for the blonde daughter of an NYPD chief. When she wasn’t getting her holes expanded by every female criminal Spider-Man locked up over the years, she was getting her spirit crushed by one of the women he’d cheated on her with. Case in point, Felicia had started making her wear a new outfit. Her jumpsuit had been torn up to make a lovely orange jacket. Pants? Oh rebound blonde sluts didn’t deserve those. Instead, Felicia had left Gwen in her white panties. The number of people looking to take her for a spin had gone up drastically ever since. 

As you may have noticed by the date, it was Valentine's Day in The Raft and it really wasn’t all that different than most days. Gwen’s day had started under her prison mommy’s butt (which was arguably better than the floor, where Mary Jane Watson had slept), followed by eating Felicia out and only then was she allowed to go brush her teeth. Breakfast was as unpleasant as ever but work had been a bit different – laundry duty. It was an incredibly important job in a prison full of so many inmates. 

Setting down a laundry basket full of jumpsuits, Gwen and Felicia were deep in conversation for a change. The topic? Their mutual ex. “...He was always quipping, to the point where I felt like my ears were going to fall off from him talking so much. Honestly, being your cellmate is so much more peaceful than our apartment.” 

Felicia was stunned, but was far too much of a femme fatale to show it. “You’re the first person to say that sharing a cell with me is more peaceful than… anything . But at least with me we’re too busy to talk.”

“Have you ever had to live with him? He never paid his half of the rent, or did the dishes, or cooked, or cleaned the apartment without having an emergency where he had to swing out. And I always ended up doing his laundry, which, one time he fought that sand person, and it took me three months and a broken washing machine to clean his suit.” Gwen, sleep deprived, genuinely wasn’t sure if what she was saying had even happened, but Felicia was genuinely amused in something other than making her miserable so she kept talking. 

Felicia smirked, always happy to hate on the man who threw her in prison. “How about that thing where he can’t keep his mouth shut in bed?” Technically it was on a rooftop but same difference. “I had to tell him to shut up.” 

Gwen Stacy giggled. “What you need to do is pretend you’re really kinky and just shove a gag down his throat. Learned that trick two months in. Well, I guess you probably wouldn’t have to pretend you’re into kinky stuff, but that’s the only way I could shut him up. “

“I might not be a fancy biology major like you, but I’m a clever girl too, Gwen. What do you think I did after telling him to shut up?” Felicia replied, fondly remembering the creative thing she’d shoved into his mouth. 

So far Felicia had made her bitch do most of the work. She knew first hand what the women of The Raft got up to and there was no way she was touching their clothes when a guard’s supervision didn’t necessitate it. 

“He also lasts like three minutes in bed, and I end up having to finish with my hands later on…Maybe he was better off as my ex-boyfriend.” For a moment Gwen’s eyes locked with Felicia’s, both women staring intently before Gwen averted her eyes as quickly as she could and went to load the washing machine with dirty jumpsuits. She wasn’t sure what it was that she felt towards Felicia, but it seemed an awful lot like attraction. Except it couldn’t be. This was simply Stockholm Syndrome she told herself. A psychological coping mechanism where- 

Her rationalising was cut short when Officer Renee approached and gave Gwen’s butt a firm smack.  “Focus more on working and less on your ex, lovebird.” The pervy guard chided while watching the way the girl’s cheeks shook before moving on. 

“Ow!” Gwen glared while rubbing her sore butt. 

Felicia looked amused though. She could see what Peter liked about her. Gwen’s ass was nowhere near as fine as hers of course…but it wasn’t bad. Naturally, that mental vague compliment was the cue to rip Gwen apart. “Easy there, girly, that looked like that hurt. Not as much as when Peter did it to me…but I understand you’re new to this.”

“Peter loved my ass too actually. He couldn’t keep his hands off it.” Gwen brattily fired back, still bent over as she shoved in the last of the load, butt perked out. The sight transfixed Felicia. The way Gwen’s panties clung on for dear life. How her buttcrack swallowed up the cheap cotton faster than a bitch resentfully ate out their mommy. Despite Gwen’s dedication to squats and cardio (it turned out prison was, in fact, a great place to get fit), the jiggling was unstoppable. The sight filled Felicia with an entirely unfair jealousy the longer she stared. 

Washing machine filled to the brim with clothes, Gwen began to stand back up…but was stopped when Felicia leaned in close and kept her bent over. Then she felt Felicia’s hand run along her panty clad ass, giving her butt a sharp squeeze. “Oh…um…ok” Gwen nervously gasped as she was left powerless to object to the horny cat burglar's advances. 

Felicia tauntingly pulled at the thin barrier standing between her and Gwen’s skin before letting it snap back into place. 

“The guard could be back any minute…” Gwen argued, unsure if she was trying to find an excuse to stop or concerned about their moment being interrupted. 

And then with all the romance that prison had to offer, Felicia leaned in close and whispered: “Then give me a quickie before that happens.” She knew at least one of the numerous security cameras would pick it up anyways, but she figured the guard would be too busy touching herself to alert anyone of the violation.

Gwen wasted no time before undressing her prison mommy, Felicia assisted by pulling her panties down her thighs and off one leg, letting them dangle off her right ankle. Felicia then situated herself on top of the washing machine and pulled Gwen between her legs, guiding her until her face was buried deep against her pussy. She spread her knees enough to allow Gwen extra space, and when she did, Gwen got straight to work. 

“Mm, you look so good between my legs, Stace.” Felicia moaned. 

Gwen Stacy peered up at Felicia as her tongue made quick work of the platinum blonde thief’s clit, licking where she knew it made her lose her composure within seconds. Felicia groaned when she felt her bitch’s tongue lap away at her. And before either of them knew it, her orgasm crept up on her. Her eyes screwed shut, hands flew up to grasp Gwen’s forearms, and her knees pressed hard against her hips as she chased that high as long as possible.

Told to stop, Gwen backed up slightly and obediently looked at her mommy for the next instruction. She should have just stayed quiet but she had to ask, “So how did I do?”

“You’re not MJ1 but I suppose you weren’t terrible.” Felicia cruelly replied, knowing Gwen was actually pretty good but not wanting to say that. There was no fun to be found in complementing her bitches. 

Gwen looked offended at the fact that she was being compared to Mary Jane. “Are you fucking serious? You don’t want her, you should be wanting me, trust me from the guys Mary’s been with I’m much better. Like look at these.” She grabbed her breasts and shook them for Felica, seeming to lose sight of the fact that she was being forced to have sex with Felicia and had begun getting competitive with her former friend. “You wouldn’t even be able to see her tits in this outfit. So don’t force me onto her level.”

The thief hadn’t expected Gwen to grab her breasts and begin shaking them for her, but ok. Competitive to the point of stupidity. Noted. She knew that could be very helpful. “I don’t know…I just can’t imagine how you could be better than her” she feigned deliberation. 

Gwen walked over to the row of washing machines, sitting right in front of Felicia with her legs crossed. “You’re familiar with her tits right? Feel mine.” She felt like the best way she could get through this was by taking charge. She grabbed Felicia's hands and brought them to her breasts. “You know I’ve always been better looking.”

Felicia playfully struck Gwen’s breasts, enjoying the sight of them shaking. That’s when her bitch said: “I bet I could last way longer than you did.” It was an attempt to appeal to the thief’s own competitive nature in hopes that she may let her climax. Plus she secretly wanted to try to have consensual sex with someone that wasn’t Peter for once. She was tired of finishing herself off. She was spending Valentine’s Day in a penitentiary. Nothing was sadder than that. She didn’t see herself as bisexual, but if she was going to be in prison for a while she didn’t want it to be lonely. She didn't want to spend today reminiscing over the ex who cheated on her with four other women. 

As Felicia’s hand went down the front of Gwen’s panties, the girl moaned instantly. She hadn’t had someone else touch her in a year, plus she wasn’t trying to put on a poker face to impress Felicia. She pushed herself back onto the thief, making her stop. “It’s been a few months and I’m really, really, really horny babe.” She whispered quietly into her ear, getting more quiet with each ‘really’ she said. Then she moved in to kiss Black Cat as she played with her nipples.

“Excuses excuses” Felicia purred. “I’m simply better at this than you” She said while bringing herself  closer to Gwen’s body. 

“Hey! Don’t act like they aren’t valid excuses, give me another year in here and I guarantee I’d be so much better.” Gwen quickly kissed her again before she looked down at the nipple she’d been playing with and then looked back up at Felica. “May I?” she asked, wanting to know if she could suck on it. Receiving a look that said ‘do you really need to ask’ Gwen went in hesitation, sucking on Felicia's tits with a hunger. They felt almost too perfect in shape and size to the point where she was very nearly jealous. She hated that Peter had cheated on her…but she couldn’t help but see why the thief was so appealing. 

Gwen blushed as she continued to suck on her tits. Every time she moaned she bit down. She imagined it hurt Felicia, but she couldn’t help it. Juices leaked out of her wet pussy as she felt herself about to cum. “Black Cat!” She exclaimed in a shaky voice. 

Just as Gwen was about to cum, Felicia withdrew her hand. Leaving poor Gwen frustrated. “Looks like I’m the one to have lasted longer” she gloated. 

“I wouldn’t say it was fair though. I was just a little excited, it’s my first consenting girl on girl experience, that’s all. How about you try spending a week without sex and see how long you last.” Gwen replied, rubbing her thighs together in a futile attempt to spark enough friction to get off. Alas, she had no such luck.

————————————————————— 

The 14th of February, 2023 – A criminal sat in a Midtown North Precinct holding cell – Scorpia. Her suit had, of course, been confiscated and she now sat on the bed of her cell dressed in baggy orange scrubs. Caught for several paid-killings and having escaped her last facility, she was going back to prison and there was absolutely no way out of it. The most she could do was sit in her cell and wait to be transferred to the women’s wing at Ryker’s or The Raft, passing the time until then by staring for hours without end at the tally-marked walls. Actually that wasn’t true. There was one other thing she could do to pass the time…

Urgently she listened close for the sound of a possible approaching guard that may disrupt her. Hearing none, she nodded. There was a camera in her cell which meant everything she was about to do would be on full display for the control room, but she didn’t care too much about that. She just wanted to be sure no one would stop her. 

Then she acted on impulse from some animalistic source, as though possessed. She shoved her pants down so it bunched and snagged around her knees and leaned back against the wall of her cell. Her underwear she kept on. She put a hand over her crotch. Even touching the outside made her sore. She pressed up. The ache got sharper. And then she moved her middle finger in until she was pressing against her clit, and her heart began to race. She clenched her toned thighs a little, and her excitement only grew further. She felt shivery and taut. She rubbed side to side, dragging her underwear rough against her delicate skin. Her breath caught on every little hint of pleasure.

Despite there being no mirror in the cell, Scorpia caught a clear view of her thighs, her pussy in the reflection of the shiny metal toilet. The sight made her all the more excited. It took the edge off the urgency she felt to escape. Her rage to avoid going back to prison. Every little touch felt like a tiny escape of its own. 

Scorpia’s jail-provided underwear were soaked. She pulled them aside again to slip a finger inside herself. It wasn’t enough. She wanted something to penetrate herself with. Crazed, she looked around the cell: toilet paper, a book, a pillow. None of that would work. She shoved two more fingers in, rough and sudden, so her pussy burned. She leaned into the feeling, clenching hard, dragging her other fingers faster and faster across her clit.

“Hi!” A voice suddenly called from outside her barred window, startling the captured convict off her bed with a scream in a rather humiliating moment for the tough hitwoman. 

Coming into view from his place hanging upside down, the red and blue costume of the pesky superhero come to ruin her moment was unmistakable. “I scare ya?” Spider-Man asked. 

“Go to hell!” Scorpia spat, climbing back on to her bed and approaching the bars as much as she could.

Spider-Man peered at the locked up criminal, a smile heard in his tone as he asked: “Hey, where’s your silly suit, Scorpia? ‘Silly suit Scorpia.’ Try saying that five times fast!”

Any sexual excitement Scorpia had possessed was completely gone by now, having vanished just as quickly as the obnoxious Web-Head had shown up and killed the moment. Instead of a burning desire to cum, she now felt a burning fury to see the hero flattened like the arachnid he was. “You know what you can try saying that five times fast, Spider-Jerk.”

“What’s she saying?” A voice called from the rooftop above, belonging to none other than Felicia Hardy. She was dressed in her true Black Cat attire as her platinum white hair blew in the intense winds. 

Peter looked up at Cat. “We’re just making small talk right now. Y’know talking tongue twisters and stuff.”

Scorpia scoffed and turned her back to the window, unable to even stand to look at the unwanted visitor. “Is that cat bitch with you?” She asked bitterly. 

“Yep.” Peter stated plainly. 

Scorpia crossed her arms in a pout. “Tell her she’s a dead woman when I get outta here.” She threatened as she imagined the violent, unique ways in which she’d go through Felicia’s nine lives. 

“What’s she saying now?” Black Cat asked once more from above, enjoying taunting the captive criminal. This was part of the fun of being with Spider-Man. It was all fun and games when it was other people going to prison. But she’d eventually learn what being on the receiving end of things was like…

“She says no woman with a chest like yours should be able to move as fast as you do!” Spider-Man replied back to his catburglar partner. 

Felicia’s laugh could be heard. Crossing her legs and hanging over the rooftop, she was quite flattered (even if she already knew for a fact her tits were stunning). “Tell her they act as ballast!”

“I will!” Peter replied, turning back to look at Scorpia. “Listen, Elaine, can you just tell us who hired you?”

Scorpia wasn’t about to crack that easily. Especially not to possibly the most annoying superhero she’d ever had the displeasure of encountering. “I’m not telling you jack shit.” She replied…only to feel something sticky bounce against the back of her head. “Hey!” She exclaimed angrily. 

“Either you’re gonna tell me who hired you or I’m gonna hang outside your window all night hitting you with web-balls, lady. And if that’s not annoying enough, I’ll have Black Cat sing Memories from Cats.” Peter said, firing another at Scorpia for good measure. 

Scorpia, a hardened murderess of several people, genuinely looked confused. “What the fuck kind of plan is that?” 

“Hit it, Cat!” Spidey shouted. 

Right on cue Felicia began, singing with all the beauty of a starved alleycat calling out into the middle of the night: “Meeemories! All alone on the pavement! I remember a time I knew what happiness was…” It was horribly off in every way imaginable. Singing was not one of her talents…at all. Scorpia wanted to rip her own ears off having to hear the woman sing. She preferred prison to this shit. 

“Alright! Alright! Just tell her to shut the fuck up!” Scorpia miserably exclaimed. 

-

“Thanks! Enjoy The Raft! We’ll try to send you a bar of soap.” Spidey bid ado to a pouting Scorpia – having gotten all the information he needed – as he swung back up to the rooftop where Felicia was waiting. The soon-to-be incarcerated supervillain had shared some very interesting information…

Landing on all fours to see Black Cat laying on her stomach with a knowing smirk on her face as she held in her right hand a truly absurdly large diamond, Peter asked: “So just here to help you said?” 

“Well how else is a girl supposed to get your attention?” Felicia purred, looking unfazed by the fact that her little con was up. 

Spider-Man sighed. These games were common with her. And by common it was practically a weekly occurrence. Normal couples had dates, but they had…whatever this was. “I don’t know. But I feel like it doesn’t usually involve hiring one of my villains so you can steal a diamond while I'm preoccupied. Where are you even going to fence that?” 

“So concerned about my financial future! I’m touched.” Felicia laughed. 

Spider-Man shot a web to grab the diamond but Felicia pulled it out of grasp just in time. “Getting rusty there, Parker.” She taunted as she playfully began to flee, jumping to the next rooftop over with remarkable agility. 

“That diamond isn’t even worth anything except historically! It’s cubic zirconia!” Peter began but then there was a loud THUD as Felicia hit an air conditioner. Nervously he swung by her side as she staggered. 

Looking dizzy, Felicia smiled up at the hero. “Oh, Spider. How long have we been doing this? There’s this dance across the rooftops of New York again and again…” She said as she reached into her bag and began looking for something. “...Sometimes I steal just to have you chase me. And sometimes I think you do this just because you like getting a look at my ass while I run. If only one of us would rise to the challenge…”

“What are-” Peter started to ask but stopped as Felicia got down on her knees in front of him. 

Time seemed to stop on that rooftop for a moment as they looked at each other in disbelief, hearts racing. “So here it is. Will you marry me?” Felicia asked, producing from her bag a ring that shimmered under the moonlight. 

“Cat I…” Words failed Peter Parker as his mind raced to determine what even to say. He didn’t even know what the thought process to begin to say something was…and then he felt a sharp gash against his leg and Felicia went running. “What? Why?!” He gasped, 

“It takes a lot of distraction to overcome that Spidey-Sense of yours!” Black Cat replied, feeling high on her own victory as Spider-Man tended to his bleeding thigh. She was almost over the next ledge when she was hit by a web, pinning her left hand to the wall of the fire escape. 

Spidey stood up. “This was fun…in an emotionally painful way, but I should really be going now. City never sleeps and all.”

“Of course. You’ve got to get back to Michelle. I’d hate for her to be lonely tonight…” Felicia said sarcastically as she looked at the webbing which kept her in place. 

Peter awkwardly nodded, rubbing the back of his head. “Felicia…you know I…”

“Oh no it’s fine. Go.” She said with a roll of her emerald eyes. It took no further convincing Peter before he went swinging off into the night. “She must suck your dick like a pro if you’re so eager to abandon me for her.” She said to herself as she cut her webbed hand free and then picked up the diamond she’d gone to such extensive lengths to obtain. Shrugging, she tossed the precious mineral aside and chuckled softly to herself. 

————————————————————— 

The 14th of February, 2025 – despite frequent sexual assault, prison life was undescribably repetitive. That Valentine’s Day had been much like any other day, with Peter’s bitter harem returning to their cell from the jobs they worked around the prison. Felicia had been occupied at the time, so it was a relatively calm moment; with Gwen Stacy, arse still sore from being spanked in the laundry room, laying on her stomach reading a book. Beside her, Liz Allan was taking a much deserved nap on the floor. 

Michelle Jones stretched out a bit in her bottom bunk, exhausted after a quarry stint spent chained to each girl's least favorite cellmate. Mary Jane Watson, of course, sat taller in her own bunk, sighing as she examined the filth on her bare soles.

Dressed in the makeshift orange bikini that served as her uniform, Michelle was trying to follow Liz’s lead and grab a brief nap after her day's labour in the mines, and before she was possibly pimped out by her violent, repressive prison mommy, the Black Cat. She rarely got any restful sleep in this place, and now was no exception. What was currently bothering her, among many other things, was the rough material of her bottoms riding up her ass. It seemed so small a thing but it was deeply annoying enough that she ventured to demean herself by trying to pick it out as subtly as she could in the completely unprivate cell. 

Mary Jane would hear the snap of Michelle's bikini bottom, looking down at the girl with some irritation. "What, can't go 30 minutes without jacking off?" She asked.

“Yeah you know me, a genuine masturbation addict…” Michelle remarked dryly, rolling her eyes at Mary Jane. They both knew that Felicia strictly forbade any self-pleasure. Which was why Michelle hadn’t touched herself in two years. 

Mary Jane rolled her eyes. As far as she was concerned, even with the restrictions, her cellmates were all sluts.

But, since the sarcastic response seemed to shut her up, Michelle shut her eyes and breathed in deep, sick and tired of having to hear Mary Jane’s voice day after day.  “And why would you care if I was? What, were you going to tell Felicia?”

Mary Jane's eyes widened in a bit of rage. "Bet you'd like that, huh, you little slut..." She hopped down to the floor, looming over her cellmate with menace.

Looking up at her dully, Michelle briefly thought that maybe she should have kept her mouth shut. But then she remembered just how annoying Mary Jane was and persisted. “You’re one to call me a slut. You slept with half of the campus.” She didn’t believe in slut-shaming but it was ironic that Mary Jane of all people was calling her one.

Mary Jane hardly held back now. Enraged, she flung herself into Michelle's bed, wrestling with her. "How... DARE YOU... cheating bitch!!"

“Cheating?! I was with him first!” Michelle argued while she tried, and failed, to struggle against the jealous redhead atop her.

Mary Jane, soon enough, had the girl pinned down beneath her. Grabbing a bedsheet, the redhead got inventive... using it to tie Michelle's hands behind her.

”What the fuck?! Have you lost your mind?!” Michelle nervously exclaimed, attempting to kick her attacker off while her hands were being tied. Felicia had done a lot to her (more than she ever wanted to remember), but Mary Jane was doing it too now? 

"Not at all!" Mary Jane replied fiercely. She had her pinned down now, and was weighing her options on how to punish her.

Michelle continued to thrash against her cellmate, putting up far more of a fight than she usually did against people who assaulted her. But it was no use. She breathed in deep, realising it was hopeless. “Please…get off of me” she said pathetically.

Mary Jane grinned mischievously. "Only if you show me how sorry you are..."

Michelle didn’t like the sound of that at all, but prison had taught her that, when fighting didn’t work, you did whatever you could to survive. She grit her teeth. “Fine…”

The redhead chuckled. "My feet are awfully dirty... could use a bit of a clean..."

“What the f…” Michelle forced herself to stop. A part of her knew she should just agree, do it, and then brush her teeth five times. But she simply altered her exclamation. “…why can’t you wash them in the sink?”

In response, Mary Jane rolled her eyes, grabbing the girl by the hair a bit roughly to make a point. “OW! Ow! Ok. I-I’ll…clean your feet…” Michelle‘s tongue had seen a lot of action with different women’s body parts, but even this was a new one.

Mary Jane nodded. "Thank you for the kind offer." She mockingly replied. She forced Michelle, hands still bound, to kneel on the ground, examining her nails as she stretched a foot out for her.

Michelle shut her eyes and tried to imagine something, anything, else as she hesitantly stuck her tongue out and let the tip of it touch the sole of Mary Jane’s foot. The taste of dirt, though, immediately made her recoil. She was no stranger to bad tastes, prison food and the asses of convicts fresh from the mines were hardly pleasant, but the imagery of what she was licking made her stomach churn. 

But while Michelle suffered, Mary Jane could hardly have cared less. The redhead leaned back and relaxed, oddly at ease despite the odd sensation of a tongue against her foot. The moody inmate licked up the arch of Mary Jane’s foot, choking and gagging all the way. She hoped one of her cellmates would come and help but she knew that would never happen. Eventually, Mary Jane showed some mercy. Some... "Alright, other foot." She ordered, deadpan.

Michelle let Mary Jane slip her toes in her mouth. That’s when the cell door behind them opened, and in came Black Cat. “Whatcha doing, tiger?” She asked. 

Mary Jane looked terrified. "I... Michelle just wanted to help clean up a bit..."

Felicia boredly looked at her sharp nails and smirked, leaning against the wall. “Mhm. And I’m a nun.”

Mary Jane knew that she was busted. "I... I..."

“I had no idea you had a foot fetish. I thought I was the kinky one.” Felicia’s emerald eyes bore down on Mary Jane like daggers, wordlessly expressing with a simple glance the power she had over the woman.

"I... swear..." She looked like she was about to have a panic attack as her face blushed nearly as red as her hair. 

”What? I don’t kink shame.” Felicia wasn’t lying about that at least. ”Why don’t I help you explore your interests?” She asked as she ripped at Mary Jane by the hair and pulled her to the floor.

Mary Jane teared up, helpless as she fell to the ground. "H-how?" She stammered. 

Felicia placed her right foot on Mary Jane’s pretty freckled face, smiling down at her as she did. “You always act so tough. So dominant with my bitches. But y’know what MJ? You’re nothing but mommy’s submissive little whore. I mean for fucks sake, I’m going to tell you to lick my foot, and you’ll start lapping the dirt off because you’re my bitch.” Sure enough, with some trepidation, Mary Jane nodded, knowing it was true. ”Peter only ever fucked you because of your tits, MJ. That and because you were willing to let him put it up your ass.” The cat burglar continued to taunt as she felt Mary Jane start. “He never loved you.”

Mary Jane’s tears began to fall harder as her tongue licked the grime off the platinum blonde's foot. Meanwhile Felicia tore open her own jumpsuit and stuck her hand down it, beginning to finger herself without any shame. Her fingers sloshed in and out of her pussy, rubbing against her clit in violent swirls of her touch. “That’s right. Lick, bitch.” She moaned.

Mary Jane did just that, her cellmates admittedly getting a kick out of seeing the redhead put in her place.

Nothing put a smile on Felicia’s face like tormenting the women she hated most. She may have never been able to get her revenge against Spider-Man for putting her here, but his girlfriends weren’t the worst consolation. She let Mary Jane continue the task for a while before pulling her foot back and then grabbing the redhead by the throat.

Mary Jane sputtered, still gagging from the grime on her tongue as the blonde thief wrapped her hand around her neck. Everyone knew the Black Cat was a little unhinged, but she wasn’t a murderer. Mary Jane was in no real danger, even though it certainly felt like it. 

“Say sorry and I’ll let you go.” Felicia said.

Mary Jane struggled to speak. "S-Sorry"

Felicia nodded. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?” She asked while letting her go. Mary Jane nodded slowly, in response, clearly terrified of being punished further.

“Now say sorry to Michelle.” Felicia obviously didn’t care about Michelle’s feelings, but she did like how Mary Jane would resent Michelle a little more for having to do this. Michelle for her part sat up and looked at Mary Jane expectantly.

"I-I'm sorry.." Mary Jane was still sobbing a bit as she apologised to Michelle, but even that couldn’t mask the bitterness she felt towards the woman. This was Michelle’s fault. 

Michelle looked pretty pleased by her misery. It wasn’t often that she got to see her abusers tormented. “Apology accept.” She said with a taunting smirk.

Mary Jane next turned to Black Cat, as if to see if she was in the clear. Felicia had turned her attention to smoking a cigarette she produced from a stash she had hidden under the bed. Her mind on something that probably related to finding some new way of making her bitches miserable. It seemed Mary Jane could breathe and so she sat in silence on the floor, bare feet shifting on the ground as she calmed her nerves and tried to suppress her tears. 

Taking a slow drag, Black Cat’s eyes still lingered uncomfortably on Mary Jane. Nothing was worse than when she was silent. The moment stretched on and on, and then she pulled the cigarette from her mouth and said in a casual tone: “Almost forgot to say, Happy Valentine’s Day, MJ1.” Having Mary Jane and Michelle Jones be MJ1 and MJ2 respectively was yet another way of demeaning them.

Mary Jane's eyes widened. "I... thank you..." She didn’t know what to say but she already was distrusting of this. 

”I got you a gift…” Felicia was being painfully vague. “Actually it was Liz’s idea.”

Mary Jane was stunned. This could only mean one thing…

”A romantic date with six lovely ladies you know!” Felicia had sold each of the girls out to different supervillains before, but the max at a single time was two.

"SIX?!" Mary Jane hardly hid her disgust, though she covered her mouth in fear as soon as she remembered her situation.

Felicia loved how disgusted Mary Jane looked. “Yep. They’re paying me a lot for you. Guess love is in the air today.” As tears once more began to streak down Mary Jane’s face, a sense of doom and misery at her lot in life setting in, Felicia furrowed her brow, her entire demeanour becoming more threatening as she took a single step closer to Mary Jane. “Is there a problem?”

"No..." Mary Jane managed between sobs.

“Good. Now get the fuck up. They’re waiting for you in the rec room.” Felicia said as she ripped open an excited looking Gwen Stacy’s jumpsuit and ran a finger along the woman’s right nipple. Gwen giggled a bit, purely submissive to the Black Cat and relishing in Mary Jane's torment. The redhead sulked out, as if marked for death.

-

She dreaded the entire walk to the rec room. Every step she took seemed like it would be her last. But it was nothing compared to the abject fear she felt as she entered the room itself. Inside the six of them were gathered, lounged against the chair and couch, or leaned against the wall. First and foremost was Olivia Octavious standing in the corner, bearing a weird sort of ‘sexy science teacher’ vibe that masked the fact that she was a terrorist who tried to eliminate the population of New York with a genetically engineered virus. On the couch was her cellmate Shriek, a notorious serial killer, with her arm around Carla Connors, a researcher whose accidental scientific mutation with lizard DNA resulted in a condition which could only be suppressed by the collar around her throat. Beside them sat Francine Frye, better known by her criminal name Electro. Sprawled out on a chair was Elaine Coll, Scorpia, who unshyly was passing the time by fingering herself im front of everyone. And, emerging silently from the gym was Anastasia Kravinoff, the most skilled hunter on the planet. Mary Jane instantly recognised each of them as foes of Spider-Man. 

The terrified redhead took the scene in, slowly presenting herself to the six inmates. "I'm here by Black Cat's request?" She asked timidly. 

Olivia was the first to approach, smirking at the nervous bitch in front of her. “Oh we know…”

“We’re going to have so much fun!” Scorpia added, springing off the chair and looking the redhead over. 

Francine, with her arm around Carla, grinned menacingly while Shriek stared dead-eyed at the girlfriend of the man responsible for her incarceration. 

Anastasia was the first to unzip her jumpsuit, allowing the cheap orange material to fall away and expose her large tits and incredibly toned body, traditional Russian prison tattoos adorning her glistening skin.

“Strip.” Olivia coldly commanded as she adjusted her round glasses. 

MJ nodded, shaking. She slowly removed her skimpy outfit, presenting herself cautiously to her "customers"

They each eyed her hungrily, staring down every bit of her body as more and more became visible. Scorpia let out a whistle. While Francine laughed and said: “Look at those titties!” Carla shyly bit her lip, feeling turned on yet slightly embarrassed to be taking part in this. But that embarrassment wasn’t shared by any of the other gathered criminals.

“Don’t be shy” Anastasia mocked. 

“I should really pay to use you more.” Olivia remarked, well acquainted with MJ’s body but more partial to Michelle’s.

Mary Jane simply had to go along with it, body swaying a bit as she waited to see how she'd be used and abused.

“Well girls, what shall we do with her first?” Olivia asked, turning to face each of her horny cohorts as they now had Mary Jane cornered. 

Anastasia grabbed MJ by the shoulder and shoved her face-first to the ground with ease. She basically hadn’t stopped hitting the gym since arriving in prison. “I think we should let her decide.”

Scorpia playfully joined in, groping at Mary Jane's tits. "Want a go with me?" She teased. Mary Jane looked tormented. 

Anastasia lifted MJ’s head by grabbing her long red as hard as she could and pulling. “You’ll get a turn with everyone. We have you for the rest of the day…”

“Yeah well I wanna go first!” Francine asserted, shoving Scorpia jealousy.

“Have patience, Francine.” Olivia chided Francine like she was a child, looking at the electric-based criminal with a demeaning glare that truly expressed just how inferior she saw her as. 

While Francine pouted, Shriek smacked MJ’s ass as hard as she could. 

Carla Connors stood by as Olivia lifted Mary Jane up just enough for her face to be level with her crotch. MJ was then forced to watch as the mad scientist peeled off her jumpsuit and then dropped her panties to the floor. With Oliva naked, Mary Jane was met with a face-full of bush.

“Lick.” Olivia ordered. 

MJ nodded softly. Olivia clearly knew how to make things run. Her tongue soon combed through the woman's pubic hair, eventually beginning to lap away at her wet pussy.

Francine’s hand drifted along the front of Scorpia’s jumpsuit, settling against her still-clothed crotch. 

With Mary Jane on her knees, Carla undressed and spread her legs until she was straddling the redhead’s back. She knew that what they were doing was wrong, that Mary Jane didn’t deserve this, but revenge was all too tempting and her body yearned for the touch of another. Her conscience fell out of mind as she began swaying her hips back and forth against Mary Jane’s body. 

Anastasia leaned in and kissed MJ on the cheek, running her tongue against it in a disgusting show of power. 

MJ was overwhelmed. Six women at every crevice of her body... she tried to focus. Her tongue flicked away wildly at Olivia, her body tense as she anticipated what would come next.

Olivia rocked her hips against Mary Jane’s mouth, practically writhing with every twist of the woman’s tongue. It hadn’t been that long since someone had eaten her out – a couple hours at most – but her moans made it sound like she hadn’t had sex in years. 

Francine had turned to helping Scorpia out of her clothes and Carla was now gasping as her pussy rubbed against MJ’s back, juices pooling all along her skin. 

Scorpia, now undressed, smacked MJ on the ass, roughly. The girl cried out, but didn't dare retract from Olivia, who seemed captivated. Pressing her body against her, Olivia’s hand slid up Mary Jane’s stomach, stopping just short of her breasts before tracing circles around her mound. A shiver ran through MJ at her touch, a mixture of fear and desire.

"You're wet for me." Shriek remarked seductively, her fingers rubbing up MJ to find her aroused clit. "You like being fucked by a villainess?"

MJ moaned, a mix of protest and arousal in her voice as her fellow convict fingered her. She'd receive another smack from Scorpia as she continued eating out Olivia, her nipples like bullets at her touch.

It was with a surprisingly elegant loud exhale that Olivia came, spraying the captive Mary Jane’s face with her cum. The girl’s nose was buried in wet pubes, but not for long as Carla absentmindedly grabbed her by her hair and pulled up, looking for something, anything, to grip as she came too. 

MJ groaned as she was suddenly covered in cum on two ends. She wasn't quite sure how exactly both women had came, and could hardly figure it out as yet another rough smack greeted her buttocks.

Francine Frye pressed her lips against Scorpia’s, attempting to shove her tongue down the black-haired beauty’s mouth as she continued spanking Mary Jane. It certainly was an interesting time to make out. Scorpia grinned, hardly complaining about the attention. A mortified MJ looked back for a moment, confused at the whole situation.

But her attention was pulled back to looking ahead as Olivia spun around and spread her legs wide, presenting her ass right in front of Mary Jane. Before MJ could even fully register it, Anastasia shoved her between the scientist’s cheeks.

Shriek continued to madly finger her victim, wet up to her knuckles. A sadistic smile on her face the whole time. She was briefly pushed out of the way as Francine got more into the taste of Scorpia’s saliva. 

Mary Jane slowly got to licking away between Olivia's cheeks. It was her first time ever, and it was... far from ideal, though she was at least clean from the shower. All the while, she felt pleasure build between her legs as she was fingered, while Scorpia giggled wildly as she made out with Francine. The two had become something of a makeshift couple.

And then two of Anastasia’s fingers found MJ’s right nipple and she not-so-softly pinched it. “I hope being Spider-Man’s girlfriend was worth it.” The huntress commented as MJ cried out in agony, muffled by Olivia's ass.

Francine grabbed ahold of Mary Jane’s arm and she forced the woman to place her hand between her thighs. Her expectation was clear. MJ's fingers slowly worked their magic, as Scorpia laid another harsh blow on her rear.

Olivia bent over farther, lost in the feeling of the redhead’s tongue against her butt. It was impressive that no guards seemed to hear what was happening. Or, more probably, they did and just didn’t care. MJ was barely coherent at this point, both licking and fingering relentlessly. She prayed nobody outside the prison would hear of this.

Abruptly, Olivia got off Mary Jane’s face and stepped back as Shriek switched sides and rested her forehead against MJ’s. Seeing tears falling, the serial killer mocked: “Shush. You have no idea how much worse this could be for you. You’re lucky that Felicia said we couldn’t do any permanent damage because I have a shiv that would love to taste your flesh…”

That only made MJ begin to sob harder. But she stopped when Anastasia shouted: ”Stop crying!” Her thick Russian accent made her aggression seem all the more intimidating.

Shriek smiled, although she admittedly preferred seeing her cry. She liked it when they cried. Cupping MJ’s face in her hand, fingers pressing against her freckled cheeks, Shriek said: “I want you to repeat after me. ‘I am a redhead whore who will die in prison.’”

"I-I'm a redhead whore who will die in prison..." Mary Jane whimpered, clearly thinking Shriek meant in the near term.

Shriek continued; ”’…and I’m lucky that you let me be fucked by you.’”

"And.. and I'm lucky that you let me be fucked by you.." Mary Jane sounded almost hysterical.

Shriek looked outright demonic as she laughed at her abject misery. “Good girl! Now look into my eyes…”

And as MJ did just that, tears drying on her cheeks, she suddenly felt one of Olivia’s tentacles ram its way up her ass. She screamed, obviously in both shock and agony, but Scorpia pinned her in place. While Anastasia and Shriek laughed, Francine continued riding MJ’s fingertips, and Carla ignored the pain she was subjecting Mary Jane to.

The next hour was all a bit of a blur for the poor redheaded acting major, a dizzying sequence of being drowned in pussy as each of the Sinister Six made their rounds with her. At a point she lost track of who she was eating out. Her nipples had been twisted, her arse spanked red and penetrated wide open, her sex played with and fingered without being allowed to cum once, and all she could taste were the juices and asses of each of her assailants. Drenched in spray, humped, and punished mercilessly, nothing in her incarcerated life came close to the level of Valentine’s violation she felt.

————————————————————— 

The 14th of February, 2026 – They say snitches get stitches but that couldn’t have been farther from the truth for Liz Allan. Out of everyone in the cell, she was the closest to being Felicia’s actual girlfriend. Sure she got sold out, spanked, and forced into eating her prison mommy out just like everyone else, but none of it ever was as…vindictive…as the things Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy faced. Liz was allowed to rest while Black Cat was being fanned by Gwen while Mary Jane rubbed her feet and Michelle Jones rubbed her back. This wasn’t because Felicia liked Liz any more than the others – she hated them all for different reasons –  but the thief couldn’t have her bitches uniting, they needed to hate each other for their dynamic to work, so she rewarded whoever kissed her ass the most. 

That was why Valentine’s Day found Liz on the top bunk with Felicia making out with her. There was nothing romantic about the holiday in prison, no candy hearts or roses were in sight when they were in the middle of the Atlantic afterall, but Felicia was being weirdly gentler than usual…to Liz. Gwen Stacy was currently off being anally penetrated by a mechanical tentacle. 

Liz tried not to act shaken by everything that went down in prison, even if it affected her quite deeply. But what bugged her the most, even more than the forced pussy eating, was the loneliness.

So with Felicia being rather gentle at the moment, Liz actually found herself enjoying the encounter. It felt nice to be close to someone on Valentine's Day again, so she kissed her mommy with much more passion than usual.

With a cacophony of moans all down the cellblock, which wasn’t unusual for The Raft (but it did seem a lot more present today), the sound of their kiss almost seemed lost as the bed in the next cell over rapidly creaked like there was an earthquake. Felicia, annoyed, broke their kiss with a sigh and a roll of her emerald eyes. 

Liz immediately grew concerned as Felicia pulled away, believing it to be the result of something she'd done. "Everything okay?"

“There’s just something I can’t get out of my head…” Felicia started, pausing for a moment to let Liz worry about what she was about to say. “...how did Spidey ever think you were a good kisser?”

Liz's face immediately fell, realizing she was disappointing the closest thing she had to a partner in prison, and growing very nervous. "W-well... I don't know that he ever... said I was." She'd just assumed. He always seemed to like their makeout sessions. "B-but I can do better. I... I want to do... better..."

“You better. You’re making me bored and you know I always find a way to deal with boredom…” Felicia smirked and then tapped herself on the lips to indicate for Liz to try again. 

Liz's lips twisted into a concerned frown, but she then put those lips to work, trying to put all those pleasant feelings towards Felicia into the kiss. She decided to be a little confident, reaching around and placing her hand on the back of Felicia's head, sinking her fingers into that platinum blonde hair.

Although surprised, Felicia didn’t seem to mind. In fact she even seemed to enjoy it as she gave a subtle gasp and then stuck her tongue in Liz’s mouth. It was nice…or at least Liz didn’t taste of cigarettes. The thief’s hands seemed to instinctively grasp Liz’s sides and pulled her in closer. 

The corners of Liz's lips formed into a faint smile, enjoying the closeness as she moved both hands to Felicia's lower back, creeping down in the hopes she'd be allowed to caress her butt.

Felicia certainly didn’t object as her hands fell to Liz’s hips and they struggled in a tight game of oral dominance. One which she obviously won. 

Liz technically let her win, though even if she had, she still would've lost. She then finally stuck her hands down into Felicia's panties, giving her generous ass a squeeze. It felt soft. Soft felt good in prison.

Felicia detested Liz but prison was a rough place. The Raft was the closest thing to her personal Hell. To feel the warmth of someone else’s body against her own, to have someone to kiss on Valentine’s even if forced, felt like a small consolation. Plus it didn’t hurt that she knew for a fact that Liz was straight and was absolutely terrified of displeasing her. Nothing was sweeter than the revenge of making Spidey’s girlfriends her bitches except the fantasy she had of what she’d do to her ex if she managed to break out. 

With a purr-like moan a shiver shot down her spine as her rear was squeezed, enjoying for a moment Liz’s forwardness. A forwardness she returned as she forced herself on top of Liz as she laid her down against the mattress. 

Liz kept her eyes closed as she was forced down, remembering times she'd shared with Peter on the outside. She continued to make out with her mommy to her heart's content, happy to know she was happy. Maybe this would get her some more special privileges.

Felicia’s right hand trailed between their bodies, slipping down the front of Liz’s underwear. Two fingers then pressed against the woman’s pussy lips. Considering that Black Cat had a firm rule about never letting her girls cum, it was as exciting as it was a complete tease. 

Liz let out an admittedly cute moan, feeling those fingers on her needy pussy. She continued to kiss Felicia passionately, until her horny thoughts took over. Pulling away, she would look up at the woman with desperate eyes. "P-please... It's been so long..." And with an indefinite sentence, she couldn't bear the thought of not getting to cum maybe ever again.

There were some things you never did as the property of Black Cat. 1) NEVER say Peter liked you more than her. 2) Don’t say any trait of yours was better than one of hers. And 3) Don’t pull away. Liz violated rule number three and Felicia didn’t let things go.

“And why would I let a slut like you get off?” She taunted, any niceness immediately disappearing. It should be noted though that her fingers now traced circles along Liz’s womanhood. 

The sudden (if expected) change in tone caused Liz to sink. She almost considered clarifying she wasn't a slut, but at least knew better than to do that. "B-because I..." That's when it clicked. Appeal to Felicia's cruelty. "Because if the other girls hear you got me off, imagine how jealous they'll be. We could totally rub it in their faces."

Going by the glimmer in her eyes, it was clear Liz had tempted her with something promising. But she wasn’t about to just give in. She was smart enough to know what Liz was doing. “Clever girl. And here I thought you were just a pretty face…” She didn’t think that but she had to demean her somehow. 

Moving into straddling Liz’s stomach, her right hand continued to play with her pussy while her left groped Liz’s breast. She liked keeping her hands occupied since stealing jewels wasn’t an option anymore. 

Liz huffed at her little tease, trying not to get offended. It was pretty easy though, as she immediately began to focus solely on Felicia as her hands worked their magic. "I... appreciate how kind you are to me, mommy. You've always treated me well." That was a lie. More flattery to earn her an orgasm.

“Lizzy, Lizzy, Lizzy. It can’t be easy thinking you’ll never cum again. Knowing I have the power to change that whenever I want but don’t…” Felicia’s nimble fingers stroked against her slave’s clit. “...Flattery like that just might change my mind.”

Liz smiled, genuinely surprised by this as she continued to enjoy the stimulation she'd been longing for. "W-well... that should be easy. There's so many good things to talk about. Like..." Oh no. She actually couldn't think of anything else. Nothing true, nothing to make up... until- "...your hair. Such a bold color. I've always loved that about you." 

“And it’s natural.” Everyone knew that it was her natural colour – it had been made obvious numerous times before – but Felicia always loved to mention that. She took pride in how gorgeous she was and it was nice to hear it said out loud. Humility? What’s that? “...Keep talking.”

Liz smiled, kissed her on the lips, then began moving down to Felica's breasts. "And these..." Her prison mommy had one of the best chests in the entire prison, not that the straight Liz could appreciate it. "They make me so jealous."

That was always a way to stroke Felicia’s ego. The compliments really seemed to get her going as she continued to ramp up in speed and added in an extra finger for good measure. “I know they do. It must be so hard having what you have…” She said a faux pout and then leaned in close and stroked her tongue along her slave’s nipple. 

Liz managed to ignore the little dig, focusing on the pleasure lighting her whole body on fire. She began bucking her hips against Felicia's fingers, moaning softly as she tried to think of more compliments. "You're so... good at this..."

“Tell me something I don’t know.” Black Cat humbly replied while Liz was getting closer and closer, smiling wide as she prepared to have her first orgasm in years.

“It is Valentine’s. Maybe I should make an exception for you…” She suggested. Working faster, plunging her fingers in deeper, she edged Liz with the possibility of cumming. And then just as Liz was on the verge Felicia, predictably, stopped while giving a cruel smile to her poor frustrated plaything. This was her little game. The promise of a possible orgasm was something she waved in front of her bitches faces knowing that they were smart enough to learn she wouldn’t let them have it but still getting to watch them have hope just for a second and then see it snuffed out. “Changed my mind. I’m just so indecisive. It’s really my only flaw.” 

Liz's face fell, having truly felt like she was getting off this time. She reached down, holding her needy pussy in both desperation and shame, then looked away, unable to make eye contact with her cruel mistress. "P-please. You can't just do that. I might be here the rest of my life. This is cruel..."

Felicia pried Liz’s hand away from her pussy. She couldn’t have the girl finishing herself off. “Cruel? What’s cruel is Petey tossing me in this shithole because he liked the way you sucked his dick more than me. And then when he got bored of you he abandoned you to spend the rest of your days here as my little fucking bitch. You should be mad at him.”

Liz shed a single tear at that, anger mixing with sadness as she quickly wiped it away. "I'm mad at both of you! He didn't have to do nothing while I got locked up, and you didn't have to make things worse by ruining whatever kind of life I could've had in here!" She knew she really shouldn't be talking back to Felicia, but she was... frustrated. Even more than the usual frustration she felt every second.

“If you want to quit being my bitch go ahead. I’m sure the women in HYDRA would love a turn with you…” Felicia walked a careful balance as a prison mommy. It wasn’t just about being forceful and making her slaves do whatever she wanted. That seemed to her like a recipe for them to eventually get fed up and turn on her. No, she instead always insisted there were worse options out there than herself. She may have been bad, but she wasn’t an actual nazi or psychotic mutant. Out loud her bitches had the choice to break away from her…but not really. 

Liz practically stopped breathing at that, heart pounding in her chest at the thought of being with the HYDRA scum. Whether she liked it or not, Felicia was one of her best options. "I... I'm sorry. You're... you're better to me than most. I should... appreciate you more." It killed her to say that, but she had to. Anything was better than ending up with Hydra... though Wanda might beg to differ.

Felicia smiled, arrogantly accepting the apology. She liked the sound of them thanking her for her mistreatment of them. “You’re welcome. Now how are you going to make it up to me?”

Liz lowered her head, accepting that she wasn't going to be getting off today... or maybe ever. "My face is yours if you wanna sit on it..."

“I was joking, but since you offered…” Felicia sprang at the opportunity to plant her bare butt down on Liz’s pretty face. 

Liz would end up eating Felicia's pale booty for close to an hour. Every time she thought she was done, Felicia would deliver a well placed smack to her pussy, signaling Liz was to keep going. But eventually Felicia was satisfied, deciding to take a little cat nap (get it?) and leaving Liz to reflect on her terrible day so far.

She mostly just thought about how much her pussy burned with unfulfilled arousal, keeping her legs shut and squirming in discomfort... when she noticed a red envelope on the floor.

It was addressed to her, and she quickly tore it open with great anticipation. Inside she would find a letter. A love letter! One filled with sweet words about how much this secret admirer liked her, how much she wanted to be with her. Liz may not have been a lesbian, but she would be satisfied with anything resembling true love in prison.

They wanted her to meet them in the cafeteria before dinner (the exact time was vague since it wasn’t as if the inmates had access to a clock). They’d been stricken by her for some time and wanted to finally meet because what day was better than Valentine’s Day to profess one’s love? 

There was just one issue. How would Liz meet them? Felicia may have been asleep but she did so lightly. Opening the metal door of their cell would surely have woken her up. And, above all else, there was no possible way she’d let Liz go do something that would actually make her happy. 

Her mind raced with possible admirers and escape plans, going back and forth in her head as she paced the floor. Cassie Lang? She seemed sad all the time... but also sweet.

She could just open the door and run, hoping to tell Felicia she was desperate to get the taste of ass off her tongue... but she may punish her harder than ever for not asking permission still. Perhaps Riri Williams? She and the former princess of Wakanda seemed to have at least somewhat of an open relationship... and that butt certainly overpowered Liz's lack of interest in women.

She could wait until lunch, act like whoever the admirer was was asking to purchase her... but everyone knew better than to approach a bitch for purchase instead of their mommy.

Having been on the bottom bunk reading a book, Mary Jane Watson looked up at Liz…and then at what she was holding in her hands. Someone in their cell had gotten a letter and it wasn’t her? That only made her feel more jealous. And so, having already been having a miserable holiday, she antagonistically asked: “What’s that in your hands?”

Liz quickly stopped in her tracks, whipping around and hiding the letter behind her back. "It's nothing!" Oh yeah. Liz was sooo convincing.

“Nothing. Really?” Mary Jane rolled her eyes and then extended her arm out. “Hand it over.”

Liz was clearly nervous as she handed the letter over. Sure she remembered the main details, but she really didn't want to lose such a sweet piece of writing. And really didn't want Mary Jane to have blackmail material over her... but she handed it over, knowing it was her only logical option.

Mary Jane read over the letter, growing more and more incensed with every word she read. If anyone in their cell deserved a love letter like this it was her. Just the first few lines had her stomach in a knot and by the end she was practically fuming. She had to reread it again just to be sure it actually was meant for Liz. “Good luck meeting whoever this mystery person is. There’s no way Black Cat is letting you go.”

Liz bit her lip, looking up at the sleeping Felicia, before locking eyes with Mary Jane. "C-can you help me? I'll literally do anything you want. Anything. I need this..." And she figured whatever Mary Jane came up with couldn’t be worse than Felicia's cruel ideas.

“Yeah sure I’ll help you…oh wait. I would help you…if last week you hadn’t told Felicia when I had my hand down my jumpsuit. I think maybe I should return the favour and let her know about this.” Mary Jane waved the letter around for emphasis. She’d looked pleadingly at Liz to not say a word and let her get off, but Liz had ignored her silent begging and gotten her punished instead. “Paybacks a bitch.”

Liz's heart sank, realizing Mary Jane would be entirely justified if she chose to snitch on her... so she got on her knees, shaking her head and trying to look as sad and pathetic as possible. "Okay, I was a total bitch, and I am so, so sorry. I'll never snitch on you again. I promise. Never."

“Never?” Mary Jane considered it. “Fine. But you’ll also give me anything off your tray at lunch, massage me whenever I want wherever I want, do my work for me, forfeit the bed to me forever, and let me tell Felicia you were touching yourself.” She drove a hard bargain. 

Liz's mood fell even harder. This sounded miserable, and she would be losing some of the only privileges she had in this prison. There was also no clear time table on half of this stuff... but if it meant she had a chance at romance. "D-Deal. Just don't let me starve."

“We’ll see how I feel.” Mary Jane said. She had just won a massive amount of perks by prison standards. 

Liz let out a heavy sigh, standing back up and holding out her hand. "Whatever. Just give me back the letter and help me get to the cafeteria..."

Mary Jane tossed the letter at Liz in response. “So what’s the plan?”

Liz raised an eyebrow. "I... I don't know. I figured you'd help me get out of here without waking up Felicia... but if you don't have any ideas... maybe just start a fight with someone while I escape?"

She was asking Mary Jane to pick a fight with someone? That was easy enough. Casually getting up from her lounged position on the bed, she approached the shape of Michelle Jones on the ground. Michelle had fallen asleep almost immediately after getting back from the mines. “Face it, bitch, Peter hit the jackpot with me. Not you. Me!” Mary Jane abruptly antagonised as she forced the other MJ awake. 

Michelle groaned softly as she opened a single eye and stared at Mary Jane blankly with them. The words clearly didn't hurt her much. "You were just a pair of tits to him." Michelle had come to terms with Peter's cheating, and while it didn't make it right, she at least had it in her head that she was his only genuine love. Whether or not Mary Jane’s hurt at those words was real or simply a convincing act was debatable, but the slap she dealt to Michelle’s cheek was very real. 

Michelle's eyes shot open wide at the slap, briefly staring at Mary Jane in shock before getting to her feet and trying to tear the woman apart. Liz quickly took advantage of the chaos, yanking open the unlocked cell door and taking off down the hall.

Surprisingly, her journey went uninterrupted. Despite the constant feeling that all eyes were upon her, or that from any corner a lustful hand may reach out for her, no one actually touched her. It seemed that Felicia’s ‘protection’ of her property was upheld even when the thief wasn’t around. Reaching her destination, Liz looked around for her potential admirer, but everyone in the cafeteria right now was either way too cool and scary to have written that letter, or in the case of Karen Page, too preoccupied servicing Elektra, and the women she sold her to, to ever have the free time to write it.

Page was currently struggling to comprehend how much her anal passage could stretch, as Olivia Octavius shoved an entire tentacle inside it. It was a sight that made Liz sigh and look away, not wanting to be reminded of what went down in this place.

And so, unsure on what to do, Liz sat and she waited. Patiently longing to know who her sweet Valentine was. With every moment spent that she saw no apparent sign that they were present she burned to know who they were just a little more. The theories kept growing, changing on who they could possibly be and why they were late. 

Maybe it was Anya Corazon, the objectively attractive spider-themed hero she’d seen in the showers. Perhaps it was a hero like Black Widow who'd come to rescue her…but even she knew that one wasn’t realistic. It was a little odd how her thoughts had veered towards arachnid-based individuals.

She went through many more possibilities in her head, excitement growing with each one... all while the cafeteria got emptier and emptier.

After about two hours of waiting and daydreaming... she finally began to suspect that her admirer wasn't coming. Her heart sank as she came to this realization, but gasped as another person finally made their way in...

“You came! I was so worried you’d stand me up.” Felicia exclaimed sarcastically as she sauntered over to the table Liz was seated at. 

Liz looked up in immediate confusion, mouth opening and closing as she struggled to find a response. It hadn't fully sunk in yet, and she was too depressed to be scared. "W-what are you doing here?"

“I could ask you the same thing, Lizzy.” Felicia leaned over the table and looked down with a grin at the priceless expression on her slave’s face. 

Liz lowered her head. This day had been a nightmare. She'd made a terrible deal with MJ and probably gotten herself in trouble with Felicia, all to meet an admirer who didn't seem to be showing up. "Don't be mad. I've already had a hard enough day as it is..."

“Mad? Why would I be mad? It’s not like you tried escaping the comfort of our cell to go on a little date.” It was clear that Felicia was already thinking up some ways to punish Liz for the transgression. All of which would probably involve some form of demeaning task.

Liz blushed, crossing her arms and trying to look tougher than she felt. "Mary Jane told you? That is extremely uncool..."

Felicia was a little surprised that Liz wasn’t catching on and so, tiring of the back and forth, she outright said it: “ I’m your Valentine.”

It took another moment for Liz to finally realize what this meant, but when she did, she immediately felt humiliated, burying her blushing face in her hands. "You... I... I can't believe you." Her voice started to crack a little, hope of a genuine romance completely crumbling.

“Wow, Liz, way to make a girl feel wanted. So you’re turning me down?” Felicia guilt-tripped. “I honestly didn’t think you’d take it so seriously. The fact that someone might want to date you should have been a dead giveaway that something was up.”

Liz finally lowered her hands, turning to Felica and staring at her with a mix of sadness and bubbling rage. "I didn't make Peter cheat on you. I didn't know you existed. Why are you taking this out on me?"

“Because hurting you is currently the closest thing I’ll get to hurting him. Plus it’s fun.”

Felicia was unshyly upfront about the reasoning behind her cruelty because she wanted Liz to do something rash. 

Liz had never been much of a fighter, but as she delivered a well deserved punch to Felicia's jaw, she felt an undeniable high. "You're right. Hurting people can be fun."

“What the fuck, Liz?!” Felicia actually shrieked, taken aback by Liz going that far. She expected she’d break down in tears and then throw a poorly-timed, foreseeable hit that the thief could easily dodge. Not go mental and punch her in the face before she could even react. 

Instinctively reaching for her aching cheek, Felicia stumbled back and tried to push down how much it hurt. 

Realizing she actually had some power over Felicia for once, Liz got to her feet and shoved her mommy against the wall, bringing her knee up and slamming it right into the woman's crotch. Her dad had taught her self defense, a skill she somehow rarely used thanks to the fear Felicia inspired. "I think things are gonna work a little differently from now on."

Felicia was skilled enough in martial arts, but, caught completely off guard, she was quickly reaching the ‘find out’ stage of her games. She’d finally pushed one of her bitches too far. Pinned against the wall and being kneed, she struggled to find a chance to strike back. 

Her womanhood felt like it was on fire. Doubling over, she went wide-eyed as she tried to block Liz’s possible next move. Taking advantage of Felicia's new position, Liz delivered a hard kick to one of the blonde's boobs, then three more, overcome with rage at her constant mistreatment.

Hitting Felicia’s tits was a move too far for Black Cat. Seething, she forced herself through the pain and tackled Liz with all of her force. Holding Liz’s arms down so that she couldn’t escape, she spat on her. “You’ve really fucked up!” 

Liz screamed as she went down, literally whimpering as she was spat on, the ultimate reminder of her place. "W-wait! Wait! Y-you know this was justified! You can't blame me for that!"

“Sorry but I do and you’re about to learn just how miserable I can make your pathetic life!” Felicia’s normal sultry, careless tone was replaced by a complete rage. She was seeing red as she pressed her sharp nails into the palms of Liz’s hands. “You’re right, things will work differently. You’re gonna be my bottom bitch!”

Those words sent chills down Liz's spine, and she began to thrash around wildly. "No! I'm sorry! I take it back! I'll do anything! Please don't make me the bottom!" Any anger she felt was totally replaced with fear now

“Oh it’s way too late to take it back. You’ve been a bad girl and you know what I do to bad girls…” Felicia moved her right hand to Liz’s face, squeezed the woman’s face in her grasp, and then slapped her. “Maybe I should shorten your life sentence.” She contemplated. 

Liz really began to whimper now, genuinely terrified by what Felicia might do… "Hands up! Against the wall!" Several guards burst into the room suddenly, surrounding the women with batons.

Felicia flipped her head up, messy strands of platinum blonde hair covering her face. The number of guards seemed like a bit of an overreaction but then again she did just threaten to kill Liz. “We’re just having a bit of fun here. Aren’t we, Liz?” She attempted. 

Liz furiously shook her head, pure terror in her eyes as she locked eyes with one of the guards."Help me! Get her away from me! She wants to kill me!"

One of the guards walked over and grabbed Felicia's arms, forcing them behind her back, cuffing them, and then forcing her to her feet. "I think a night in solitary would be appropriate."

“Get off me! I’m going to kill you, Liz! You’re dead!” Felicia senselessly yelled, struggling against the guard forcefully shoving her against the wall. She hated the hole. It was one of few things in The Raft that she was genuinely fearful of. 

Liz had tears running down her face now, practically throwing herself at the guards... who promptly cuffed her as well."What? Why are you cuffing me?"

One of the guards chuckled, before dragging her away, past Felicia; who Liz tried to avoid eye contact with. "Zero tolerance."

Both women were led through the prison down to the solitary holding cells. Unlike the other cellblocks, there was an eerie silence that hung over the space that made everything seem uneasy when every other section of the prison seemed to constantly be loud. Rows and rows of solid metal doors keeping prisoners locked in soundproofed rooms. Next thing Black Cat and Liz knew the guards were stripping them down. 

Felicia fought and kicked and swore. She scratched and cursed and spat. But she was just wasting her energy. 

Liz just allowed herself to be stripped naked, too scared to really fight back anymore. But there was understandably one thing on her mind above everything else. "Y-you're not, like... actually gonna kill me, right?" 

The guards notably didn't say anything. Whether they didn't care or just wanted to add to Liz's helplessness was unclear.

“I’ll see how I feel when I get out of here…” Felicia angrily replied as the guard tossed her into one of the cells and then slammed and locked the door. The sound of her banging herself against the door could be heard and then there was silence. 

This did nothing to calm Liz's fear, as she was shoved into an identical cell. Once her own door was locked, she slumped down onto the floor, reflecting on everything that had happened...

This was the worst Valentine's Day ever…



Chapter 33: Scarlet Bitch, Prison Witch

Chapter Text

Chaos itself circled an enraged Wanda Maximoff as her fingers twirled with the unmistakable silent casting of a hex. Neither reasoning or pleading could stop the witch’s wrath. There was a madness about her that was manic, the purest form of true inner-turmoil. Things had changed. She’d changed. Where once she was a grieving widow and mother, now only remained a damaged witch. If she couldn’t escape the prison of Jean’s abuse she would make everyone else equally miserable. The prison bitch who cowered to the ungrateful idiots who mistreated her was no more. 

Everyone, including herself, knew that she was a monster. But now she’d chosen to embrace it. She may not have been able to strike back against Jean or Emma Frost, but she had enemies that could be dealt with. 

“On. Your. Knees.” She commanded in a tone far more dominant than she’d been in awhile. The fury of the degradation she’d experienced coursed through her. Her eyes were hollows of madness, her hair broken, split, and knotted. She’d looked this way for years, but only now it seemed to give her a truly frightening glow. 

Her foe refused, fighting back against the sensation of chains that had wrapped around their body. Wanda wouldn’t tell them again. With a flick of her wrist she pushed them into the position of subservience and approached. 

But how did we get here? 

————————————————————— 

A day had passed since Straight As An Arrow and everything was in disarray. Case in point: Wanda Maximoff. After repeatedly being violated by Emma Frost and moreover disrespected by her prison girlfriend over and over again, had found she had become fed up with everything. For the last couple years, she hadn’t had the energy to be fed up, but her small interactions with Natasha had somehow made her realise that there was more to life than this. 

The result of her anger was that her frustration and hate were no longer turned inwards, but rather out. Today it started with microaggressions towards some of the other inmates. It turned out she had a lot of power over the other people in the prison, being the one who prepared the food. It wouldn’t be that hard to slip a little bit of dishwater into the soup of someone she didn’t like or to undercook the spaghetti of someone who had looked at her weird the previous day. 

Even though these were minute crimes at best, it made Wanda feel good. Today she’d gathered the cleaning supplies and used the water she mopped the floor with to incorporate into Agatha Harkness’ gruel. It gave her an enormous surge of freedom and rebellion to fight back. She wanted to do the same to Jean and Emma, but was scared they would read her thoughts and find out. So for now she kept it to the inmates that annoyed her on a day to day basis. One of which, today, was a certain obnoxious fangirl. 

“Hiya!” Gwendolyn Poole exclaimed as she continued her pattern of showing up at the most random moments. “So…about last time…” She didn’t know that forcing herself on Wanda was a bad thing, but she just really wanted to have sex with Elizabeth Olsen and so an apology for… whatever …she did was part of her new plan to lose her virginity.

“Who are you again?” Wanda said with extreme disinterest.

Gwen gasped, hurt. “We kissed like a week ago. You were super into it!” Wanda, in fact, had not been super into it. That was the reason she’d hit Gwen with a blast of chaos magic. 

“Oh.” Among the recent assault attempts, this one had been mild in Wanda’s mind. “Okay.” She shrugged. Her apathy was huge in this instance. 

Although this wasn’t going her way so far (things never did), Gwen kept her upbeat, kind of creepy, Laina Morris smile. She took Wanda’s hands in hers, gazing in awe of the witch’s stained-black fingertips. This was meant to be another attempt at courting the Scarlet Witch, but Gwen literally didn’t have a filter and so she said the first thought she had: “Wow these would be so great inside of me…”

Wanda immediately snatched her hand away, and stared Gwen down. “I want you to leave.” She said slowly, voice ominous. 

“But-” Gwen started but was stopped, as she felt like cold-dead fingers were wrapping themselves around her throat. “W-Wow I’m like totally scare-roused right now.” She weakly remarked as it became harder and harder to breathe. Her self preservation skills were, as ever, non-existent. 

Growing tenser, the witch realised she could give Gwen the attention that she wanted…but not in the way she wanted. If she wouldn’t leave she’d make being in her presence miserable. 

“Does this count…as…foreplay?” Gwen asked, her tone innocent yet creepy at the same time. 

Wanda twisted the zipper of Gwen’s jumpsuit, leading the fangirl on. As it descended down her body she blushed, feeling closer than she’d ever been to achieving her dream. She had no idea what was happening or what she’d done, but she was all for it. The zipper stopped only when it could go no further and Gwen’s clothing slipped right off her petite body. 

“Wow…I…” Gwen couldn’t find the words to express just how excited she was as goosebumps dotted her skin. 

Wanda silently rested the palm of her hand against Gwen’s chest, eliciting a soft moan from the girl, and then she began to descend down the length of her torso. Her fingers rested just against Gwen’s womanhood where the witch softly pressed her fingertips against Gwen’s pussy lips. Then they locked eyes and Gwen noticed a faint red glow to Wanda’s eyes that grew into a glowing crimson. That probably wasn’t good…

In a tone barely above a whisper, Wanda said: “ No more orgasms… ” 

“That’s so cool…” Gwen replied before she processed it. Then her whole world seemed to shatter in that instant as she went wide-eyed, admittedly a little stoked she’d managed to make Wanda do a twist on the infamous ‘no more mutants’ line…but then she remembered what the hex actually meant. “Wait what?!”

Wanda gave a rare smile as she watched Gwen become frantic, touching herself like an absolute madwoman to absolutely no sensation. The witch hadn’t felt so in control…so powerful…in years. 

  ————————————————————— 

“Yelena, I’d like to talk to you about the Thunderbolts Initiative…” Warden Valentina began as she slowly turned around to look at the inmate brought before her desk. “See it’s this little team I’m-” 

In less than a millisecond Yelena cut her off: “No. I don’t want to join your group.” She had no interest in having this conversation. 

“Can you let me finish my offer before you turn it down?” Val chuckled slightly. 

The two of them had a history. Yelena knew how Val operated and that the woman was shady as shit even before she became a warden. The assassin hadn’t minded silencing whoever Val hired her to off in the past, but this was different. Immediately it was obvious who held the power in this dynamic. “I don’t want to do anything for you again.”

Admittedly this wasn’t going optimally, but Val knew had to handle this. “Not even for a reduced sentence? Face it Yelena, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison otherwise. Is that really how you see your life ending?”

“I’m fine living in prison with my sister.” Yelena said without pause. 

Val nodded, seeing that she’d need to change negotiation tactics. “You might be able to survive a life in prison…but what about Kate Bishop? You know first hand the types of women The Raft contains. I’m afraid anything could happen to a frail, young girl like her. She might even be sent back to Hela’s cell. I’ll be the first to admit that, under the right circumstances, the guards may turn a blind eye to what happens to her in there.” Val took off her sunglasses and stared down the prisoner without fear. “But if you agree and the mission goes successfully, I could arrange a reduction of her sentence.”

Yelena tensed, resisting the urge to take a pen from Val’s desk and use it to stab the warden in the neck. There were many things Yelena could ignore, but a threat to Kate Bishop was not one of them. 

Valentina now knew she’d struck a chord. Everyone had a weakness. “I wouldn’t take such extreme measures if this mission wasn’t so important. You should consider yourself flattered, Yelena, because you’re vital to its success.” 

That did bring Yelena to a pause. “Why me?” She asked sceptically. 

Val smirked. “Because this team needs a leader.”

“Why not Natasha?” Yelena questioned. She knew her sister was obviously better skilled at working with a team. 

“I’ll just be blunt, she’s a lot more famous than you. People will recognise her. But you? You have all the same skills with the bonus of anonymity.” Val replied. “So are you in?”

Yelena breathed in, taking it in for a moment. There was only one right answer here… “No.” She said flatly, seeming almost emotionless for a moment. 

“What do you mean no?” Val lost her composure at that answer. She was always supposed to be the one with the power in any conversation she had with a prisoner, and Yelena was telling her no? Even after she’d threatened Kate?

“Kate will be safe with me.” Yelena replied with just as little in her tone as when she denied the offer. She’d just started dating Kate Bishop. She wasn’t about to let their budding relationship end because the archer earned parole. Her answer was selfish but she didn’t care. She didn’t stop for a moment to think that Kate may want a shot to get out of prison. She was the best person she’d ever met and couldn’t fathom letting that go anytime soon. Life experiences had taught the assassin that when she found someone that made her happy she didn’t let go. 

Val tensed, leaning over the desk with a sudden fury that she played off with a laugh. “Fine. When your little girlfriend gets shivved, know it’s your own fault. She could have been free.”

————————————————————— 

Kitty Pryde hadn’t expected to walk in on Rogue masturbating for a number of reasons. First and foremost, they were cellmates and spent every moment with each other. She’d seen the stash of porn magazines under Rogue’s bed of course, but she’d gone along with her girlfriend’s assertion that they were purely for the purpose of trade. Sex sells, especially in prison. She did find that it was a bit odd that she’d never seen Rogue sell any of them, but in all fairness she’d barely even been in The Raft for more than a week. 

Secondly, her girl friend gave off a vibe that she was more interested in acts of torture and darkness rather than traditional methods of self-pleasure like what she was seeing. The gothic mutant metaphorically seemed more likely to hole up in a coffin for an extra five minutes to get more comfortable than to ever do something so…normal. Rogue was a person, but seeing her do anything remotely ordinary was always a little funny to Kitty. 

Third, Rogue could have gone anywhere else to do what she was doing rather than touching herself in their shared cell. 

And lastly, if Rogue needed space she could have simply asked. Kitty really wouldn’t have minded. She understood they both had been experiencing Illyana Rasputin related issues lately when it came to intimacy with each other. 

So why was it now that Rogue had chosen to act? Kitty had opted to use a bathroom on the other side of the prison in hopes of not killing what little romance was to be found when your bunk bed sat next to a toilet. Rogue, horny from only being allowed to cum twice in the last week (a number far less then her usual count) and only while watching Illyana make Kitty eat her out, was desperate to act. Kitty had barely left when Rogue ripped open her jumpsuit and began fingering herself. 

At first Kitty wanted to do the right thing by looking away. But, after she looked around to see if anyone was in the hallway and heard her girlfriend was still going, she couldn’t help but do something which made her feel torn; continue to watch.

She watched as Rogue slipped her fingers inside her panties and her breath hitched . The goth shakily let out a breath as quiet as she could. She was almost shocked by how she’d become so slick so quick.

Kitty simply couldn’t peel her eyes away from Rogue sliding against her clit and back, growing more and more wet and just . . . looking beautiful. Specifically, the way her messied white and chestnut brown hair flowed over her face, how her pale skin sweaty and flushed nearly to a healthy colour in pleasure, and her small but perfect breasts bounced in time with her thrusts. 

She could bear to watch no longer and so, suppressing how awkward she felt, she charged into the cell. “You’re coming with me right now. We’re going to find a place where you’re going to dominate me and she can’t interrupt us.” She boldly asserted, almost uncharacteristically so. 

-

They stumbled into the bathroom, grateful that it seemed unoccupied at the moment as Rogue playfully pushed Kitty into the closest stall. There was absolutely zero foreplay before Rogue shut the door behind them and then slid her hand along the cheap orange fabric of Kitty’s jumpsuit, trailing up until the zipper was between her fingertips. Hooking her fingers against it, she ripped at it with a burning lust. 

Their faces came dangerously close before Kitty remembered to half-phase, aware that any touch without doing that first would be incredibly painful. Kitty let their noses brush together as she took Rogue’s hand, guiding it to the front of her panties underneath the open jumpsuit. 

Kitty’s breaths became caught in her throat and she let out a quiet moan, their eyes locked as they continued to grind helplessly against each other. Rogue’s fingers quickly decided to slip inside of Kitty and she hastily rode against them without the slightest bit of hesitation. They panted softly against each other, desire driving them mad as Rogue pushed Kitty’s underwear to the side, two fingers quickly finding her clit and rubbing against it.

Kitty furrowed her brows and her eyes fluttered closed as she let out choked gasps, a hand moving to Rogue's cheek. This moment of touch, to feel another’s skin against hers, it was like euphoria to the goth mutant who’d spent most of her life unable to have physical contact with another. She felt like she died a thousand little deaths.

Rogue could feel her girlfriend clenching on her fingers and she curled them, causing a primal moan as Kitty slumped against her and came hard on her hand, shaking and gripping harder at Rogue. 

Kitty eventually pulled back and shakily lowered herself to sit on the toilet seat, staring down at the tiled floor in pure bliss. It took her a moment to catch her breath. 

Rogue stepped closer and with the same hand still drenched in Kitty’s juices, she pressed two fingers under her chin, lifting her face. A mutual understanding on what should happen next formed between them, and then their lips met in a kiss that seemed to make everything around them melt away. Whether they were back in X-Mansion or incarcerated in The Raft didn’t matter at the moment.

Their lips parted and, while Rogue didn’t smile, Kitty could tell that she essentially was doing that in her own weird way as she moved to unlock the stall and walk over to the sink. Except who should be standing, arms crossed and leaned against the counter, but Illyana.

“You thought you could really get away from me?” Illyana chuckled. “You’re my bitches. I own both of your asses. That being said, I will give you a choice. Today I’m giving a wedgie and I’m making one of you use your toothbrush to clean the toilet. You can share the punishment or one of you can take it all.” 

Kitty hastily pulled back up her jumpsuit and ran out. “You think you can like turn us against each other? I love Rogue way too much to ever just like step aside and let you bully her, and she feels the exact same-”

“Give Kitty both.” Rogue cut her off.

Kitty betrayed, instantly exclaimed: “What?! No way! Give her both! I’m not using my toothbrush to clean a toilet!”

————————————————————— 

Carol’s body was unsteady as she sat up on the bed, her legs dangling over the edge. The nurse had told her that it was time for her to leave the infirmary, not necessarily because she was recovered but not in danger enough to have to stay. Carol was terrified of returning to her cell and facing all the other inmates again. She’d numerous nightmares about what happened down in the mines. Sure, there was a lot of gang violence in the prison, but the situation in this case had seemed extra cruel. Carol couldn’t believe that Jean didn’t face any repercussions from her actions and that she would have to face her again, possibly today. The only thing that made Carol feel better was the knowledge that Valkyrie and the others were on her side and that there was a very low possibility of something like this happening again. She was still the leader of the Galaxy Gals and that warranted respect and protection. Besides, she was Captain fucking Marvel, the greatest hero in the cosmos. 

Her wounded eye was covered by bandages and a modest eye patch and most of her bruises had faded to an ugly green. She felt weak and scared, but prison was no place to allow herself to be so weak. She’d already put her prison uniform back on, which felt a lot better than the flimsy hospital dress. She also really wanted a shower since she’d not had the opportunity to do so since arriving in the infirmary. She thought she could ask one of her bitches to give her a massage and wash her hair, that would be nice and relaxing. 

After she was successfully dismissed from the infirmary, she walked down the halls quietly and slowly. Thankfully, she didn’t meet anyone there until she arrived at her cell, where the door was open and loud sounds could be heard coming from inside. 

“The fuck is going on here?” Carol said as she walked through the door.

She was greeted with the sight of her room, but it looked nothing like how it had looked before. Every single piece of contraband she’e collected over the years by being in power was either gone or broken on the floor. Her mattress was stripped from the bed and there was a hole in it.

In the middle of the room was Ayesha, her golden shimmering arms draped with Carol’s belongings. She looked caught and dropped some of the things in shock, which filled the room with the sound of clanging.

“What the HELL do you think you’re doing?” Carol said, the anger making her head throb immediately. “Why are you touching my stuff? What happened here?”

Ayesha looked at her like a deer caught in headlights before a smirk appeared on her face. “Oh, I guess you missed the memo while you were busy being a newly made pirate.”

Carol was taken aback by the tone of voice her former slave used towards her. “What?!”

The alien bowed down and picked up the things she had dropped. “This stuff is no longer yours anymore. Neither am I.”

Before Carol could answer, Ayesha had hurried out of the cell and left her standing in the door opening in shock. 

The confusion and anger boiled over and set her into motion as she marched after Ayesha. However when she turned the corner the golden woman was nowhere to be seen. “FUCK!!” She turned the other way and raged down the hall to go find Valkyrie in the gym. She was always either drinking or in the gym. Or both.

It was as she was on her way to the gym, fists clenched and fuming, that she heard a scream. "Help! Somebody help me!!!"

Some new girl had her back against the ground while looking up at the terrifying blonde, Illyana, looming over her. She tried to push herself away but her wet foot just slid against the floor. Stepping over the girl, the bully crossed her arms and looked down at her with mock pity.

Carol wanted to just keep moving. Bad things happened to women in prison all of the time. It was none of her business. She was missing an eye and had someone to find. But she only managed to take one step with the intent of ignoring it before she instinctively advanced and threw a punch hard across Illyana’s face.

The bully staggered without time to even register what had happened before she was pinned against the wall. “What the fu-” She started but stopped when she was tossed to the ground herself.

The new girl quickly scurried to her feet, watching in shock as a blonde hero took down the bully. "T-thank you for helping me. I really appreciate-" Her jaw dropped and she stared in wide-eyed shock at the amazing woman before her, taking in deep breaths as she tried to keep herself from hyperventilating. "You're... you're... you... you're... you're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Maaaaarrrrvvvveeeelllll!!!!!!"  

Carol was made more than a little uncomfortable by the overwhelming level of excitement the girl had, but tried her best to take it all in stride. She really had no idea how to handle this kind of situation. “Yeah…that’s me. Are you ok?” She asked, referring both to the girl’s excitement and to see if Illyana had caused her any serious harm. 

The girl tried to calm herself down, recognizing Carol was having a hard time taking in her fangirling, but she just couldn't. "I can't believe I was just saved by Captain Marvel! You're like my all-time hero!" She said this last part with a cracking voice, nearly tearing up at the amazingness of this moment.

“I am? That’s so cool….” Carol replied, mind genuinely drawing a blank on what to say. She could punch aliens and mutants until she passed out, but dealing with a fan was seemingly impossible. At the moment fighting off the hordes of Annihilus seemed easier. But even she knew her response was weak so added: “So uh…It was no problem saving you.” 

The new girl finally took off her excitement goggles just in time to notice the eyepatch. She gasped loudly, suddenly feeling devastated for her. "What happened to your eye?!"

“An X-Man attacked me in the mines. Don’t worry. She’ll pay.” Carol said as if that was normal. She didn’t know how she was going to make Jean pay, or even what was happening within her own gang at the moment, but Jean would pay dearly. 

The new girl’s lip quivered, running towards her and wrapping her up in a tight hug. She didn't know what to say. She just felt sad. Carol froze…but allowed the girl to hug her. It was sweet. Far sweeter than most had been towards her as of late (except for Valkyrie of course).  "I'm sorry... I hope you get everything you want in here."

“I’ll be fine. By the time I’m done with Jean she’ll be lucky if I make her… Nevermind.” Carol started to say something about Jean licking her holes and then promptly realised that probably was a bit excessive to say to her fan. 

The new girl pulled away slightly, looking up at Carol shyly. "It's okay. I understand you're angry. You don't have to say what you're gonna do." She then felt some of her own anxieties about prison returning, and suddenly felt very desperate for a positive conversation. "Can I hang out with you for a while? I have soooo much to ask you!"

“I…” Carol was about to say she had to go. That she was a bit busy looking for Valkyrie. But she paused and decided that could wait just a little longer if it meant making the new girl’s day. “Yeah we can hang out. But let's start over. Hi, I’m Carol…” She extended her hand for the girl to shake. 

The girl gasped as Carol reintroduced herself, this time by her first name! She bit her lip to keep from squealing, taking her hand and squeezing way too hard. "I'm Kamala! On the outside, I was Ms. Marvel! I named myself after you! I really hope that's okay. Please don't sue me! I don't wanna go to jail right after getting out of jail." She then laughed nervously, almost frantically. It would have been creepy if she wasn't so cute.

“Nice to meet you Kamala.” Carol said as the girl continued to shake her hand for far too long. 

Kamala suddenly realized that, letting go and laughing nervously again. "Sorry! What should we-"

"Khan! Your cell's ready!" Kamala turned to see a guard waving her over, then turned to Carol with a sad look. "Maybe we could meet for dinner?"

“Sure. See you then, Ms. Marvel.” Carol said warmly. As Kamala left, Carol refocused on what she was originally going to do. 

—————————————————————

Leaving behind a distraught Gwendolyn Poole, Wanda felt like she was going to be sick. Not out of guilt for what she’d done to the stalker though, no it was because memories of what Emma Frost did to her the previous day resurfaced. The fear she felt as she was tied down, helpless to fight back for hours as every possible bit of dignity she had was taken from her. Jean and The Phoenix had been rough with her before, but nothing compared to just how awful Emma was. 

She suddenly felt so much power now that she’d struck back against one of the people who’d tried to assault her. Gwen would never again get off. The piece of her that felt bad for hexing her was snuffed out the more she thought about how much she wished she could do the same to Emma. 

Truthfully Wanda wasn’t even sure her curse had worked, but the feeling of her collar shocking her and the fact that her spellwork was always at its strongest when she was emotionally charged made her assume the chances were high that it had been a success. 

She became so caught up in her thoughts she felt like she’d been teleported as she startled back to awareness holding a bucket and sponge in hand. She couldn’t really remember how she’d gotten to the bathroom. Much less when she decided to start cleaning the sinks. Everything seemed foggy today, like she was a passenger in her own body. But that wasn’t that far from the truth. Her body really wasn’t her own. She was just Jean Grey’s fuck doll that got pulled out when her girlfriend was bored and tossed aside when there was something better to do. And yet Wanda knew she’d agreed to this if it meant being protected. 

Watching as the soapy sponge scraped against the grimy sink, pulling up stray hairs and dirt, Wanda’s hands began to shake and she felt her knees buckle. Before she knew it, she leaned over the counter crying uncontrollably. She didn’t even know the exact reason. Was it the loss of her husband, her children, suffering Jean’s abuse, knowing she’d die in The Raft hated by the world, being raped by Emma Frost, or all of the above? 

The more she tried to breathe, the harder her tears fell. Desperately she tried to make herself stop, but nothing worked. It was overwhelming. It was like everything hit her at once, a lifetime of mistreatment and misery tearing at her. At that moment the thought that she just wanted to die repeated again and again. She couldn’t bear to feel it anymore. The sight of her own sorrowful reflection in the mirror repulsed her. 

People could hear her sobs coming from the room but no one came to sooth her. No, instead someone came to do something else.

“Oh look, it's the Scarlet Bitch !” Agatha Harkness laughed. “I noticed breakfast tasted a little weird today. Want to explain yourself, hun?” She’d been halfway through her bowl of food before Rio had decided to tell her what Wanda had done to it. The incarcerated witch from Salem had resolved to do something about it even if it incurred Jean’s wrath. 

She pressed herself against Wanda’s hips. Her pussy already hot, dripping wet, having rode herself against her chastity belt minutes earlier, her free hand rubbing Wanda’s still sore breast and pinching her nipples beneath her jumpsuit so tightly the pain was like a white-hot dagger.

“A-Agatha! Get off of me!” Wanda yelled as tears rolled down her cheeks and she was spun around to get a good look at today’s assailant. 

Agatha’s jumpsuit was tantalisingly torn open already in a way that Wanda’s eyes couldn’t help but pause over the witch’s breasts for a moment. Agatha cackled. "Wanda, dear, are you having fun yet? You’ve used that pretty, powerful little mind of yours to play dolls. Taking away the lives, the rights, the people behind the facades you set up for them.” Wanda’s eyes went wide, and a shiver shot down her spine. "Getting scared, aren't you? Well, dear, it's time you learn. You created a fantasy for your own outlandish desire. Now I’m going to use you for mine."

No scream escaped Wanda’s lips as Agatha held her close and then, with a tug, pulled open her clothes. "Nice tits, bitch." Grabbing her nipples, her captor pulled and twisted as hard as she could. Wanda gasped and thrashed around. "Could have a nicer ass, but a gal takes what she can get in prison." She trailed her hands down Wanda’s frail body to her pussy.

A few light touches was all it took before, despite how ashamed she was, she could feel herself getting wet. She hoped Agatha wouldn’t notice, but the witch’s next words conveyed otherwise: "Such a naughty girl, Wanda. I didn't want to have to resort to it so early, but a bitch needs some housebreaking." Agatha dealt a hard slap to her sex. Wanda felt tears pooling in her eyes. It stung her and her clit hurt immediately, but she couldn't deny the pleasure hidden between the pain. This was just like Emma all over again! “Spread your legs, dear. Come on spread them for me…”

When Wanda didn’t obey, Agatha slapped her womanhood again. One. Two. Three. Four.

The former avenger spread her legs and Agatha asked: "Ready to behave, aren't we? Like the good little bitch you are?" Wanda nodded in response, willing to do anything to make the pain stop. Her pussy was red from the beating and tears streamed down her cheeks freely. 

Then there came the faintest of voices in her head, too quiet to discern. But it grew louder. Until it was a thought so loud she felt like she could hear it being yelled at her. She was The Scarlet Witch. Why couldn’t she do to others what she’d done to Gwendolyn? Maybe not Emma Frost and Jean Grey, but who was to stop her from punishing the others?

A burning rage swelled in her heart, igniting her depression into a fury that demanded immediate justice. She was a monster and people had forgotten that. It was time to remind them. Starting with Agatha… 

Like someone was whispering in her ear, she remembered that Agatha was the woman to blame for taking her family from her. The one who stole the only time in her life that she’d truly been purely happy.  Wanda had accepted her own part in what happened, that Westview was her own fault, but suddenly she felt different. She didn’t deserve torture. She didn’t deserve Jean. And she definitely didn’t deserve to be groped by just anyone who had the slightest bit of attraction towards her. 

“No.” Wanda said. But it wasn’t a scream or shout. It was low and quiet, and yet it did more than a raised tone possibly could. It was firm, defiant. Her eyes glew red. 

Agatha was surprised but didn’t relent. “What’s the matter, hun? What are you going to do? It’s not like you’re not already everyone’s witch. Half the prison has had a turn with you. 'The Scarlet Witch is not born, she is forged. She has no coven, No need for incantation’ but you, Wanda, you’re this whole place’s walking sex toy. You’re powerless here.”

Wanda shoved Agatha back in a blast of chaos magic that immediately made her collar give her a near-debilitating shock. Key word: near. “I don’t need you to tell me who I am.” She said as she got back up and then halted Agatha from doing the same.

The Scarlet Witch grabbed Agatha by her throat, eliciting a laugh from her, and then shoved her against the wall “Open up for me.” Wanda demanded, tapping Agatha’s bottom lip. Two fingers slipped past her lips when she opened her mouth, pressing down on her tongue lightly. “Get those wet for me.”

Agatha fearfully sucked, rolling her tongue around each corrupted finger with a groan. She took them deeper, noticing how the other witch watched her wrathfully. Wanda pulled them out with an irritated hiss.

Suddenly Agatha felt spectral fingers drag down her back, until they slipped through her chastity belt into the back of her underwear. Her thighs trembled as two fingers slipped inside, already pent up. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment at how easily those fingers entered her, but the embarrassment didn’t last for long as the fingers began to move. 

Wanda stepped back, watching as her spellwork played out. 

With a hand slipping behind, and the other rubbing her clit from the front, Agatha had started to pant. Her hips bucked involuntarily against the non-existent hand, grinding down on the fingers that had her clenching. “W-What are you doing?” She bitterly asked, teeth gritted as she tried to defiantly hide how turned on she was. 

Wanda flicked her wrist as suddenly Agatha felt the violent circular motions of rubbing against her clit. “I’m giving you what you want.”

Agatha knew this was a punishment of some kind, but her clit throbbed against Wanda’s summoned fingertip. She shakily spread her legs further apart as the fingers thrusted roughly. She felt the familiar coil in her quivering stomach from a building orgasm, and she bit back a moan at the hex’s relentless pace. She could feel it … just a few more seconds and…

It all stopped. Once more Agatha had been denied an orgasm. “T-This is cruel!” She screamed at the expressionless Wanda standing over her. 

“Good. Scream for me. I want everyone outside to know that I did this to you.” Wanda replied without the slightest bit of mercy towards the other witch. 

Agatha grimaced in response, hating that she was at the complete mercy of Wanda again . “So now what will you do to me? You can’t claim me!” She tried to sound as defiant as possible despite the fact that she had absolutely no power in this dynamic. 

“Oh, I’m not claiming you. But you’ve given me no choice but to punish you.” Wanda rolled her eyes in an uncharacteristic way. “Also, I’m not going do anything to you. No. This time I will finally put myself first.”

Her fingers twitched unnaturally as she used her chaos magic to work Agatha to the cold bathroom floor. She herself lowered down too, her back against the wall comfortably, knees up. 

Agatha couldn’t move, so Wanda used this time to continue her monologue. “Do you remember when we met?” She whispered softly. She beckoned Agatha forwards slightly with a wiggle of her finger while using the other hand to unzip her jumpsuit.

Agatha’s heart raced as she saw Wanda’s bare body come into full view. It was a sight she'd seen before in the showers, but there was something different about having it happen elsewhere. Something that made for a strange concoction with her bubbling wrath within. “Spare me the monologue, Wanda, and just do whatever you’re about to do!” 

Wanda chuckled softly, her elbows leaning on her knees. “No. Tell me about when we met.”

“You held a town hostage, made up some fake kids, and I tried to steal your magic. You’re not still mad about that, are you?” Agatha knew that antagonising her opponent wouldn’t help her get out of this, but she just couldn’t help herself. She also neglected to inform Wanda that she’d actually met her son after Westview…

“Not at all.” Wanda lied. “You know, when I first saw you, you were so interesting to me. You know, before I knew you wanted to steal my power and kill me. There was something about you… alluring.” This was probably the most honest Wanda had ever been with Agatha. 

“Yes well that’s me, hun, alluring. I must admit I’m glad you liked my performance as Agnes. I was always a talented actress.” Agatha said with her complete lack of humility. “You didn’t look so bad yourself in that dress and apron getup.” Agatha wasn’t even sure if she was flirting there or not. 

Wanda smiled softly. “You know I could tell something about you immediately?” 

“Oh yeah? What was it?” Agatha already knew the answer but she wanted to hear Wanda say it.

“I was sure you didn’t have a husband. I could tell you were…you know.” Wanda shrugged. “Not that it matters in here.”

Agatha immediately thought about Rio and the fact that she was probably just outside the door listening in on this conversation. She realised in hindsight that her ex had definitely set her up for this exact scenario. “I must just have that aura about me.” She smirked. “You don’t seem to mind being with women these days.”

“I don’t mind the women. But the exact ones, I do mind. “ Wanda let out a long sigh. “Anyway, because I know you know what to do, I want you to eat me out. And don’t hold back.” She said it so casually, something she had never said in her entire life. She had always been submissive, even with Vision. But it felt good.

Agatha, surprised, remarked: “Careful there, you might actually be growing a backbone…” but her words were just a distraction from the strange attraction she felt to the Scarlet Witch. There was something about her in this moment that drew her in beyond her long-held desire to see Wanda made her owned bitch. “But who am I to resist?” She agreed. 

With Agatha laying on the floor and a naked Wanda knelt over her, all it took was simply straddling Agatha’s face for the witch to get straight to work. Whether she agreed out of self-preservation or genuine intrigue in what it would be like to taste the Scarlet Witch was impossible to tell as her tongue gently, tantalisingly, stroked the other prisoner’s sex. 

Wanda let a soft moan escape her lips and tangled her hands in Agatha’s matted hair, pushing her closer towards her. This was the first time since landing in this prison where she was in control of her own pleasure, rather than being at the mercy of another. She relished in the feeling as Agatha hit all the right spots. Afterall, Agatha did have a few centuries of experience with this sort of thing. And would have deemed any other descriptor less than masterful an understatement of her craft. Her tongue licked and lapped between Wanda’s folds with a passion, hungrily going deeper and deeper. A stroke to Wanda’s clit and then circular passes back and forth. 

The waves of pleasure going through Wanda were something she had not experienced in a long time, if ever. Compared to Agatha, Jean was kind of bad at this looking back now. Maybe it was because her heart was never fully in it or because the entire relationship was built on fear, but as she rode Agatha’s face, Wanda realised she definitely did deserve better. How stupid she had been to cower to Jean and others when this could have been her life? Naive as she was that she could bend everyone to her will, she enjoyed the thought of things changing from here on out.

Spurred by the feeling of Wanda’s body rubbing against her face, and the adorable moans the witch made that truly helped bolster her already over-inflated ego, Agatha picked up the pace of what she was doing in an effort to show Wanda just how skilled she was. She did consider performing poorly just to make her miserable, but she could hardly have had people saying she was bad at eating a woman out. And so, with her mouth working harder than ever, she kept going.

That was when the bathroom door swung open and both women hastily turned to see who could possibly dare to interrupt this moment. Blushing a greenish hue, Jennifer Walters, in full She-Hulk form, awkwardly nodded and quickly said: “Oh…um sorry. You two have fun.” Before shutting the door as quickly as she could. 

Agatha internally ranted at how it was someone else’s fault that they needed to use a space she was currently occupying, but returned to giving Wanda the best cunnilingus of her life. It was hard for either woman to focus for long on the distraction as Wanda came closer and closer to an orgasm.

The Scarlet Witch’s body began to tense, her body became flush. She could barely control the ragged state her breathing was now in as her corrupted fingers pulled at Agatha’s hair in search of anything to hold on to. And then all at once the world seemed to come crashing down around her as she came. 

Still weak in the knees, Wanda stood up, strands of her juices and saliva still trailing from her womanhood to Agatha’s mouth. She said nothing as she left. 

-

Agatha remained on the tile floor, Wanda’s juices still on her face, heavy panting from what just transpired, then the bathroom door swung open and Rio Vidal sauntered in. 

“So how’d getting revenge on Wanda go?” Lady Death teased. 

————————————————————

There were those who adjusted to prison after a while…and then there was Pepper Potts. Not since she’d been stripped out of her Armani suit and probed by a guard had she become even the least bit less horrified by one ever-terrifying thing: lesbians. It turned out that in prison they were everywhere! And to her, no one was worse than the one woman she hated above all. Life under the Black Widow was strict, humiliating, and terribly sapphic. It wasn’t that Pepper was homophobic…but she certainly wasn’t gay and her daily breakfast of Natasha’s thick, curly, red Russian bush was only one of many non-straight acts she was expected to perform on a day-to-day basis. 

Lunch was Wanda’s signature prison slop, a revolting tray of the most disgusting things Pepper had ever eaten. But it wasn’t half as disgusting as the chaser of Natasha’s cum when the spy squirted on her after a second round of oral. Prison life was miserable . If she was lucky maybe she would get a minute to herself in the showers without being too busy washing her prison-mommy. 

It may seem that Pepper was horribly abused by Nat, but this was just the entitled woman’s perspective. In truth, despite how Natasha mutually hated her, she actually was pretty tame with Pepper in comparison to how some ladies in The Raft treated their bitches. Yeah Pepper often was put in her place, but it was largely to assure that everyone knew who she belonged to. Plus, Potts just had a tendency to be a bit of a Karen about, well, everything and punishment shut her up. 

Which was why Pepper Potts, down to her underwear, was leaned over Natasha’s lap with a truly pathetic whine to her tone. She thought to herself that this couldn’t get any worse, but Nat then pulled Pepper’s standard prison panties down. 

Smirking at the familiar sight of Pepper’s freckled butt, Nat gently stroked Pepper’s asscheek – causing Pepper to seize up in fear prematurely. 

“What did I say about complaining?” Nat asked, referring to the fact that she'd been forced to listen to Pepper whine for their entire five hour shift in the mines. 

“No! Please, anything but this!” Pepper said that about everything. 

Nat responded to the plea with a smack, the first spank of many for the day. She couldn’t but admit that a small part of her enjoyed Pepper’s little yelp. “Answer my question.” The spy demanded. 

“T-That I’d get spanked…” Pepper said weakly. 

“Ok good you do remember…” Natasha spanked her again, not yet counting these as part of the punishment. “...So remember that you did this to yourself.”

Pepper’s eyes filled with tears as she nodded, resigned to her fate. She hated Nat and was technically free to quit being her bitch whenever she wanted, which was very unusual as mommy/bitch dynamics go…but she was more terrified of what others may do to her. She couldn’t survive being claimed by Hydra and inked up in neo-nazi tattoos and treated like a doll like they’d done to Hope “Van Dyke.” Neither could she bear the chances of ending up in Hela’s clutches and constantly being threatened with death should she not perform perfectly, or, more commonly, just because Hela was bored. 

“You know the rules. Keep count or I’ll have to start over.” Nat began, rapidly, painfully alternating from cheek to cheek with devastating strikes.

“O-One…I-I mean three! No…five!” Pepper sputtered, leaving Nat incredibly confused. 

Nat stopped and looked down at her, bewildered. “What?” She asked, tone conveying just how confused she was. 

“Y-You spanked me twice and then started up again…” Pepper meekly explained. 

Nat paused, and then understood. “Those didn’t count. But congratulations neither have the ones I just did because you lost count.” With that she started all over again. 

Pepper’s screams as her arse was tenderised could be heard all down the cellblock, only pausing so that she may humiliatingly call out what number she was on. The whole thing certainly was a great warning to the fate that may befall anyone who pissed the Black Widow off. At some point around number fifty Nat stopped. “Alright. Get off my lap.”

Her bitch didn’t hesitate to do just that…but Natasha had a new command. “Hold on, I didn’t say you were done yet….’

Pepper froze. “Oh God! No! I can’t! I-” but before she could finish her routine loud protest, Nat grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her between her legs. That always shut her up. On cue, Pepper started lapping away. 

“Us redheads have got to stick together, Pepper.” Nat teased with a cruel smile on her face as she leaned back and happily embraced the feeling of Pepper’s tongue flicking between her folds in sloppy, yet efficient fashion. Pepper really wasn’t very good at it, but her dedication made up for it. 

That was when the cell door was thrown open and in came Yelena with an unusually overly happy air about her. She’d just returned from the warden’s office having declined the offer and now promptly decided to move on. 

Natasha loved seeing her sister and how close they’d become since reuniting, but what she didn’t like was Yelena bursting into her cell at random no matter what, or who, she was in the middle of things with. Sighing, she looked at Pepper's miserable face between her thighs and then at Yelena, arms crossed, and leaned against the bars. “Yelena, I love you, but I’ve asked you to please stop coming in here whenever you feel like it.” 

“I have news!” Yelena exclaimed, skipping right past what Nat had been saying about boundaries or whatever. 

“Ok but…” Natasha tried to redirect the conversation to what she’d been saying but stopped. In all fairness, once Yelena had barged in just to say she’d found a pack of cigarettes under the couch in the rec room. “...can this wait until we’re done?” the Black Widow asked, pointing at Pepper as if Yelena couldn’t see. 

Yelena scoffed. “This is not the worst thing I’ve seen you doing.” She laughed. 

Nat nodded. That was true. “Fine. What news?” She wasn’t expecting the answer that she got or else she’d have had a far less irritated tone. 

“I slept with Kate Bishop and now she is my girlfriend!” Yelena’s outright pure excitement at those words was infectious, a massive smile coming over the deeply traumatised assassin’s face as she relayed the news.

Immediately Natasha’s eyes lit up and any annoyance she had with Yelena for interrupting her moment was gone. “You did? When?!”

“Last night. We argued first…and then we didn’t argue. She is very adorable. I am first woman she’s been with.” The feeling of Kate’s body against her, their kiss, replayed on loop in the assassin’s mind, making her heart flutter. 

Nat smiled. “Yeah…that doesn’t surprise me.”

“She said I’m way too good at it. That my tongue was magic.” Yelena added.

Natasha felt a little uncomfortable that Yelena was giving her this many details but didn’t say anything. Privacy pretty much went out the window in prison anyway. “I’m happy for you.”

Yelena breathed in deep, her mind racing the more she talked about it. “She is very frustrating, and very ungrateful, but she is nice and cute. I have been alone almost my whole life. It's nice to not be... I love her.”

Natasha had never seen her sister like this. She was stunned. Yelena certainly had been with other people before, but it was always to her own enjoyment and whether or not her opponent/partner liked it didn’t really matter. It was genuinely heartwarming. And then Yelena asked:

“Should I make her eat my butt in the cafeteria or in the yard today?” People needed to know they were officially an item and that anyone who touched Kate Bishop would get their fingers broken. What better way of announcing their relationship than through establishing her dominance?

Nat paused, thinking out how best to answer that question. “I don’t think you should do either of those.”

“So I make her do it in private?” Yelena asked, endearingly blind to the point. 

Nat, understanding of her sister’s damaging upbringing, was patient though. “Try not making her do anything. 

Yelena nodded, taking that answer in as if that was groundbreaking new information. The consent of her sexual experiences on the outside were questionable at best, being a brainwashed Black Widow left her little choice to say no when given an order to sleep with someone, except with that one girl in Paris. And in prison she certainly was going to be the one doing the claiming, not being claimed. So yeah very little of her sex life didn’t involve not being made to do something. 

“Fine. I will ask if she wants to.” Yelena decided.

While thrilled that her sister was so excited and understood her point, Natasha thought it best to at least temper Yelena’s expectations so she didn’t face disappointment. “Just be ok with the fact that she might not.”

“Oh she will. Lets make bet. Ten cigarettes.” As per usual, Yelena couldn’t imagine anyone resisting to play with an arse as marvelous as hers. 

“Deal.” Natasha stretched her legs out atop Pepper’s shoulders while her bitch, mouth still against her pussy, said something that was too muffled to really be discernible. Pepper probably was just asking if she could move since she wasn’t eating her out right now. To which Nat’s answer would have been a resounding no. 

 

Yelena chuckled at Pepper's whining, turning to Natasha and shaking her head in mutual annoyance at the prissy woman. “What is wrong, Pepper Pot?”

”It’s Potts.” Pepper corrected, pushing away from Nat’s womanhood for a moment. She faced constant humiliation from Nat, but she drew the line at her name being said wrong.

Yelena gave her a look, then snort-laughed. "Okay, Ms. Pot." Now she just wanted to be obnoxious. "You should make her eat your pussy every time she talks back."

“Oh she’ll have to do more than that.” Natasha smirked, shooting a threatening glance at Pepper. “I was thinking spending the rest of the day with her face taped to my butt will get her to stop whining for a bit.” 

Pepper looked aghast at the idea, this would be the fourth day this week she’d spend kissing Black Widow’s bottom. 

————————————————————— 

“I can’t believe you’re like my girlfriend and you just totally threw me under the bus!” Kitty exclaimed. 

Rogue felt bad…but really, really , deep down. Her decision had been selfish and she hated to make Kitty suffer Illyana’s torment, but she’d endured the blonde’s bullying for almost a year. “I’m sorry but I didn’t want to do either of those.” 

“Yeah but I don’t either! At least not by myself!” Kitty fired back, clearly hurt. 

Rogue sighed. “Luckily for you I guess you didn’t have to.” Oh yeah Illyana had opted to punish both of them since they couldn’t come to an agreement. And she threw in some extra humiliation too just for the fun of it. 

Having successfully picked what tattered bits remained of her underwear, Rogue walked with her arms crossed as she cursed the sun for the particularly bright, happy day it brought. There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, leaving everywhere in the yard painfully bright. It burned her pale skin to be beneath. She asked herself why she endured this. But she knew the reason. Kitty Pryde had insisted they stay outside for a bit. 

Attempting to change topics, Kitty asked: “Isn’t this like totally so much more fun than being inside?” She took Rogue by her gloved hand and twirled her – much to the goth’s chagrin. Kitty hated being cooped up inside the dreary interior of the prison. Sure the yard was still also part of the prison, but at least it felt slightly less oppressive if she ignored the guards above. 

“No.” Rogue replied flatly in response, detesting everything about her current environment. At the moment she’d have much preferred to be back in her cell laying with Kitty. It was the type of day that would have been significantly improved by a murder. Alas, the closest thing there was to that was the bloodcurdling scream of Julia Cornwall as her and the clearly excited Anya Corazon were aggressively bent over by Olivia Octavious who used her tentacles to probe their holes. AKA, a normal day in The Raft for both of them. 

Rogue was the adopted daughter of Mystique, and yet she had to endure humiliation like that which Illyana inflicted. She could have gone to her mother of course, but Rogue was far too stubborn to simply ask for help. Besides, Mystique firmly believed that her ‘weak’ daughter being tortured daily by Illyana was good character building. Rogue figured she could have been made someone’s bitch and Mystique still likely wouldn’t have even stepped in to help. Their dynamic was far from a healthy one. 

“Well at least Illyana went to bully Rahne and Dani instead. We probably have like the rest of the day together, y’know?” Kitty genuinely tried so hard to find the bright side of prison life that it was almost painful. It was impressive how even in such an abjectly miserable place she managed to try to be optimistic. 

Rogue looked at Kitty and her heart skipped a beat. She realised in that moment that she was being selfish and resolved to try to enjoy something Kitty liked. “You’re right. What do you wanna do?”

“Ummmmm…I don’t know. We could…” Kitty took a quick glance around the yard for what to do. Lifting weights didn’t seem like fun. And there was no way she could convince Rogue to play basketball no matter how much the goth loved her. “Well you could like take me for a totally romantic walk around the courtyard.” 

Rogue liked the phrasing of that. It sounded so Victorian. She nodded. “Alright.” She held her arm out so they could link together and Kitty happily did so. She wanted to start off with an easy conversation, but instead she asked: “...So how’re you handlin’ being in prison?”

“It’s not so bad. We’re together at least!” Replied Kitty almost immediately. Despite all the difficulties that life in The Raft presented, she was grateful for every moment she spent with her girlfriend. And Rogue felt the same. 

“Even though we’ve got Illyana as a cellmate?” Rogue asked. 

That did take Kitty some consideration. Illyana was a complete nightmare. A bully from literal Hell (or Limbo). She didn’t love being forced to eat the blonde out while Rogue had to watch…even though it was admittedly kind of hot. And she definitely didn’t like the constant threats of being fisted in the ass. Not at all. “I think I’m like getting used to her.”

“That makes one of us.” Rogue stated flatly. She’d yet to become used to the puppet-wielding madwoman.

Continuing to walk side by side, the couple ignored the pained groans of Julia Cornwall getting a tentacle pulled out of her butt and being turned over so that Shriek could get a turn at playing with her tits. She truly couldn’t catch a break. It was frequent enough that Rogue and Kitty were adjusted to the sight. 

“Does your mom know we're dating?” Kitty asked abruptly. “I feel a little bad that I once helped send her to prison…”

Rogue was typically blunt as she replied: “Oh she still holds a grudge against you for that. She mentioned wanting to give you ‘death by a thousand cuts.’” Needless to say that she’d refrained from telling Mystique about dating Kitty. They were in the same prison so really all it should have taken Mystique was a passing interest in her adopted daughter’s life to know but that was asking too much of the mutant assassin. 

“...Got it.” Kitty nodded, feeling awkward. She was about to say something else, but then she saw Illyana, freshly beaten up and needing a place to vent it after having already tormented Dani and Rahne, return to the yard. 

The passing of a minute would find Rogue on her cuck bench with her hand down her jumpsuit being forced to miserably watch Kitty eat Illyana’s pussy from her spot in the background. 

————————————————————— 

Flashback to the previous night

Titania startled awake, having practically just fallen asleep despite the intense heat of her cell (what kind of prison didn’t have air-conditioning in the middle of August?) and an unimaginably itchy mattress. She looked around the dark, post-lights out cell confused before remembering where she was and miserably laying back down. She'd been having a very nice dream about beating Jennifer Walters so hard that the emerald giantess’ clothes ripped off entirely and the naked, super-powered lawyer was forced to face a crowd of people who simultaneously mocked her and praised Titania. The joy she felt as each person fawned over her with a near constant stream of acclaim was indescribable. And, best of all, at no point in the dream was she in prison. It was a shame, then, that instead she was now back in her cell being subjected to a wet, slapping sound coming from only a few feet above her.  

She listened closely as a moan pierced the night and then what her cellmate was doing registered. Titania sighed, annoyed. It turned out there were some details about famous(er) people that she didn’t want to know. And that meant a lot given her love of gossip. The possibility that Dazzler may have nightly masturbation sessions was never something that had crossed her mind and yet now she had to be present for it. 

Titania turned over to face the wall and screwed her eyes shut. She was determined to return to her paradise amidst the unrelenting cheap, unflatteringly orange-clad, Hell that was incarceration. It seemed though that Dazzler was similarly determined to prevent that. From the sound of things, the blonde pop-star has increased her tempo. And to add to Titania’s discomfort, their bunk had begun to gently shake.  

The last two nights had been the same, and Titania was quickly growing tired of it. It wasn’t the rampant masturbation which annoyed her, it was the fact that it kept on waking her. And then she’d have to pretend to be asleep once Dazzler had finished because God forbid she make eye-contact with her cellmate immediately after they’ve just rubbed one out. Especially when she would be trapped in the same room with them for the next 7-8 hours until morning. 

Unfortunately, Titania was at the end of her very short tether. She was going to say something. Well, in a few minutes anyway. It'd be rude to interrupt someone mid-flow.  

Laying, stewing in her own indignation, Titania rested her left arm behind her head as she listened to Dazzler’s fingers slosh in and out of her pussy. She couldn’t believe that this was seriously something her life had come to – trapped in a place with so little privacy that she shared with someone jilling off…but then she felt a burning sensation between her thighs. A longing. Rolling her eyes she supposed that, since Dazzler was clearly enjoying herself so much, she may as well rub one out as well. 

Down to nothing but her prison panties in a rather futile effort to bear the heat, Titania attempted to imagine something to get her going. But she couldn’t get the image of Jennifer Walters in her dream out of her head. Or how the way the harsh artificial lighting of the prison seemed to make the emerald giantess’ sweaty skin glisten in the gym. How her absolutely ripped body- No! She vehemently mentally insisted that she wouldn’t let her mind go there. This was the prison talking, not her. It had been too long since she’d last had an orgasm and she was just around way too many lesbian vibes that were messing with her horny head. She liked men. 

But funnily enough, the more she thought about them the less she seemed to be able to recall what she’d liked about them. They were just…fine. Nothing about the straight mental images she conjured seemed to get her going. She’d never been with one that really made her feel…excited. It was nothing like the thrill she felt before every fight with She-Hulk. 

Idly she remembered their last fight in the gym, how Jenn’s strong green legs straddled her as the heroine expertly pinned Titania’s arms to the floor over her head. But even the idle thought of Jenn had provoked a surprising reaction, as Titania's nipples hardened to tight peaks as a faint flush of heat rose across her chest.

Slowly shaking her head to dispel the image, her right hand moved upward to cup her ample breasts, fingertips flaring with energy. The touch started out gentle, but it wasn't long before the soft caress turned to a harsher squeeze that forced a moan to get caught in her throat as she imagined the warmth of She-Hulk’s lips against her own. 

After another rough grasp, her hand began to make a path down, nails skirting over smooth muscle as her thighs parted. A venture down her white panties, earned a shiver before her fingers pressed between her thighs. Briefly she felt relief that she was still smooth down there, but that thought was pulled away as she found herself to be wetter than she usually was. 

She stifled a gasp from her lips as a pair of fingers slipped deep up her pussy. Settling further back against the pillows to ease the sharp angle of her wrist, Titania started to work her fingers in a slow but firm rhythm. Her other hand immediately stroked the swell of her clit, moving against the small bud with a few quick runs. It was the first time she’d done this since arriving in prison and she practically felt out of practice. But after a few more messy thrusts, a jolt of pleasure made her back arch, hips jerking forward to drive her fingers deeper. 

She thought the pleasure would consume her focus, but instead her mind drifted to the feeling of She-Hulk’s big green body flush against hers, the faint ache in her forearms from her time in the mines strangely reminiscent of being pinned by the lawyer in a heated struggle. There was nothing gay about wanting to be dominated by a big sexy green woman, right? She gasped as her fingers curved, making contact with a particularly sensitive spot. Briefly she pictured Jenn at the end of the bed watching her and she felt repulsed…yet blushed. 

Entranced in her own horniness, Titania barely noticed what, or who, she was imagining. Her fingers furiously sloshed in and out of herself, all the while she listened to her BFF Alison do the same above her. It was confusingly…encouraging. The bedsprings of the thin-framed bunk squealed as both women masturbated in unison. Titania curled her toes as Dazzler’s whole body tensed above her. It was a miracle no nightshift staff seemed to hear them. 

Letting out a quiet, ragged breath, Titania’s fingers teased herself, the tragically faintly calloused tips working closer to the slick bud until, suppressing a moan, she eased a third finger past her entrance, the subtle stretch she felt encouraging faster thrusts until the building tension between her thighs finally gave way to orgasm. 

Her hips bucked and twisted against the insistent rhythm, hands responding instinctively until she was completely spent. She slowly relaxed back against her bed, the mattress almost cold against heated limbs. It took another minute for the trembling to cease, her fingers drawing out a few more echoes of release before resting against her abdomen again, juices glistening up to her knuckles as she bathed in her secret afterglow. 

In those several long minutes Dazzler too approached, and then reached her climax. It wasn’t long after that a pair of legs dangled over the edge of the bed, and Dazzler hopped down. Titania heard a brief shuffling of clothes, followed by the sound of skin on metal. Titania adopted a tired frown, and turned over in an effort to look asleep. 

But Dazzler casually whispered: “Oh hey you’re up.”

A wave of embarrassment flashed over Titania and then she remembered that she was Titania and she didn’t have anything to be embarrassed about. She was the best. But there was no way she was about to let Dazzler know what she’d just been doing and so, still annoyed that it had been Dazzler who woke her up, she brattily said: “If you don’t stop masturbating so fucking loud, I’m going to have to strangle you.” She was a complete hypocrite. 

Dazzler was far from an intimidating person. Especially now as she sat on the metal toilet wearing only a pair of panties around her knees, and a bemused look on her face. But Titania still felt a small surge of adrenaline. After a few seconds Dazzler let out a musical giggle and began to pee. “Sorry, guess it slipped my mind. But that’s prison life for you. My last cellmate used to do it all of the time.”

“Um ew. Didn’t want to know that because that’s so gross. But also whatever your last cellmate did like doesn’t matter because now I’m your cellmate and it’s annoying me.” Titania snapped as she sat up and lifted her blanket to conceal her tits. 

Dazzler nodded, although it wasn’t visible in the dark cell. “Yeah it annoyed me too when I first got here. But you get over it pretty fast. Everyone does it.” It was one of those things that made the lonely, miserable nights in prison more bearable.

Present

Having set the scene several times in just the last few chapters alone, I think it goes without saying that the prison gym was quite occupied by all manner of exercising heroines and supervillains. Incarcerated life, even in The Raft, really left little to do between sexual sessions so the gym was as good a place as any other to pass the time. The gym was not very elaborate and the appliances were old, but it still served its purpose for the inmates who had the urge to work out after working in the mine all day. 

Dazzler could often be found here, which was surprising given her scrawny physique. The singer explained that she needed stamina to sing for hours and especially combined with dancing, a good workout routine was essential. She was strutting on the treadmill, wearing her prison uniform half down and tied around her hips, and her hair in a ponytail.

Titania had accompanied her, despite Dazzler’s insistence that she really didn’t need to come too. And yet, the influencer gazed around the space with completely undisguised disgust. She certainly worked out, but always from the comfort of her mansion in LA. Never in a place so…pedestrian. 

“...You know I literally lost a tooth because she punched me? Yeah she just totally hit me hard AF because she was upset that I was invited to her friend’s wedding. That bitch is psycho!” She ranted. Fresh from solitary confinement (having been sent there after some light manipulation of Gwendolyn Poole made her have an outburst the last time she’d been in gym), the influencer was sure to make up for lost time by talking Dazzler’s ear off. The hole had been hard on Titania, harder than most other aspects of prison life so far. Stripped naked and shoved in a tiny box she absolutely thought she would lose her mind for the four days she was in there, but somehow she’d made it through and was now back to her the self-centered attitude she was known and loathed for.

Honestly, at this point, Dazzler was rather annoyed by Titania's habit of talking so much. There was really no way to get rid of her though, since she was literally her cellmate, so Dazzler had quickly learned how to tune out her endless droning and only reply when needed. "I’ve never been to a wedding." She said dreamily. She sped up the treadmill, almost as if she wanted to run away from Titania.

“How have you literally never been to a wedding?!” Titania exclaimed at an obnoxiously loud tone as she leaned against the wall by the treadmill…and then paused to watch as Dazzler began to run. For a moment she lingered on the sight and then she pulled her attention away.

"Guess no one loved me enough to invite me." Dazzler answered rather quickly. "Being a celebrity is a lonely life." She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.

“Yeah totally. Totally. I so know what you mean queen!” Titania replied, although couldn’t relate. She never had to feel lonely if she maintained millions of adoring fans watching her near 24/7 livestreams. 

"Why aren't you working out?" Dazzler asked, wanting to create a distance and maybe some quiet between them.

Titania furrowed her brow, and her mouth went agape in offence. “Are you trying to get rid of me?” She asked intimidatingly.

Dazzler felt caught, but didn't really care enough to be bothered. "Nah, I just feel a bit fucking awkward with you just watching me run." 

“Watching you? Ew, no. As if!” Titania seemed to put way more weight on that than was expected, striking an obvious nerve as she hurriedly looked in the opposite direction of her cellmate. “I’m not even here. Just do you.”

Dazzler let out a chuckle and continued running. "You know, if you worked out, maybe you could fight She-Hulk and win."

Titania scoffed, offended by the reminder of her constant failure to best her arch-nemesis. They’d battled well into the double digits and yet not once had she come out on top. If nothing else, at least she was optimistic. “And touch equipment that a dozen other people have touched? Yeah no thanks!” She said brattily, adding: “And FYI I have…nearly…won against Jenn before.”

Dazzler scoffed. "There's no way you even matched her." She enjoyed riling Titania up.

And Titania always took the bait. “Dazzles, I’m going to need you to shut up because you have no idea what you’re talking about.” Titania said, emphasising every other word and waving her hand around in true over-the-top flare. “She is a TOTAL bitch who constantly tries to pick fights with me just because she’s jealous. She’s like basically a stalker!” That was some severe revisionism considering it was literally always Titania who started shit.

Unimpressed, Dazzler kept running on the treadmill. She knew that if thing got out of hand, she could put Titania to sleep with her voice in no time. But she knew she had hit a nerve. "Yet it seems like you're always the one bringing her up..." She sing-songed.

“Well I’m sure she talks about me all of the time too.” Titania insisted. Truthfully, Jenn absolutely never mentioned her unless they were dealing with each other.

Like a record stopped the whole room suddenly turned to the door as The Raft’s most talked about woman entered, Nebula. Regardless of if you were in a gang or not, everyone had seen or heard about the takeover of The Galaxy Gals; how the Daughter of Thanos had made the Queen of the Inhumans her bitch. And then, when Jean Grey herself had asked if the new alliance between them and The Sisterhood still stood, Nebula had told her she could straddle a shiv. 

Unzipping her jumpsuit and tying it around her waist, proud of letting everyone see her blue tits, Nebula was surrounded by her very own posse. First and second of course were her adopted sisters, Proxima Midnight and Supergiant. And beside them were Dar-Benn and Minn-Erva, both violent Kree extremists. These aliens were some of the worst the prison had to offer, lifers Carol had only tolerated for the sake of keeping her gang strong.

Dazzler was no stranger to the dynamics of the prison, even if she was kind of a lone wolf. She immediately felt the atmosphere grow heavy when the new arrivals entered the gym and started using the equipment and her senses were heightened. Since it was technically a gym for everyone, she thought it would be fine to keep running, but was definitely more on edge and sweating nervously. 

Eventually one of them approached her, Proxima Midnight, and ordered her to get off the treadmill. "Your bouncing ponytail is pissing me off." The low voiced woman said. "Get off."

“Excuse you! You did not just tell her to get off!” Titania instantly challenged, approaching Proxima with completely unearned confidence. She didn’t even think about the fact that the horned alien was twice her size.

Dazzler internally groaned. Why did she have to get stuck with this person? She had absolutely zero survival instinct. "Nah, it's fine, I was done anyway." She quickly stopped the treadmill.

“What she means to say is that we’re done dealing with you. So you can either back off or we’re gonna have a serious problem.” Titania corrected, locking eyes with Proxima. 

The alien was unflinching as she stared back. There was a beat and then Proxima laughed at the puny Terran telling her what to do. “You’re funny. Now let’s see how funny you are when I’m shoving my fist up your ass…” But before things could escalate any further, Dazzler forcefully grabbed Titania and dragged her out of the room.

-

After meeting Kamala Khan in the hallway and having her confidence somewhat boosted, Carol was smiling as she entered the gym. She was pretty sure she would run into Valkyrie here and they could plan what fun things to do with Ayesha, who had obviously gone rogue for some reason. Her anger had faded somewhat, realising that there was no way she could be defied like that without punishing her underlings. She was obviously still on top. Oh how wrong she was....

Sitting down on one of the benches in the center of the gym and lifting weights, Nebula had been watching the door ever since she stepped foot in the room in anticipation for Carol to show up. She’d known it was only a matter of time before the woman she’d deposed would be free from the infirmary. She had something special planned for her. 

With a face that was a perfect visage of scorn, she wordlessly looked up slowly with her void-black eyes at the blonde woman. And with her gaze the other new top members of the Galaxy Gals followed until they were each menacingly staring Carol down.

Having been met with a few of her gang members staring angrily at her, Carol immediately felt her spirits dampen. "Hi." She said. She knew they obviously had no love for her, but she would at least hope they were happy to see her be okay and somewhat healthy. "Val around?"

“She’s probably here…somewhere.” Nebula replied in her cold, mechanical tone while the others silently watched. They weren’t really hiding that this was a trap but there wasn’t much of a need to.

Carol narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, right." It was busy in the gym, but not so busy that she couldn’t immediately see that Valkyrie was not there. "Well, I guess I'll go look somewhere else."

Nebula gave a look to Proxima as she set down the weight in her hand and the alien women slowly converged on Carol, surrounding her. “You’re not going anywhere, Captain Marvel ” The way in which she said her superhero name carried an unmistakable spite.

"Whoa, whoa." Carol held up her hands defensively. "What's wrong?" She was internally panicking, but tried to keep her cool.

Nebula was the first to get close. Not many galactic criminals had the honour of being so close to Captain Marvel and being the one in control. It figured that it would be a Daughter of Thanos himself that finally changed things. “I’m in charge of your gang now.” She said directly. No big villain speech or threat. One could argue Nebula lacked a flare for the dramatic, but she simply didn’t give a shit about trying to be threatening when she excelled at doing it naturally.

"Uhm, no." Carol said defensively. "Nothings changed." She seemingly was unintimidated by Nebula's presence.

“Medusa betrayed you and then I betrayed her.” Nebula could honestly respect someone who didn’t cower. That didn’t mean she wouldn’t hurt them, but at least she didn’t think they were weaker than rotted yaro root.

"When did that happen?" Carol asked curiously. It could be that they made some plan without her knowing, but she was still powerful and would talk her way out of this.

While Nebula didn’t smile – she never smiled – she doubtlessly found the question amusing. “This morning in the showers. We took turns with her. By the end I’m not sure she had any fight left in her.” As establishing yourself as someone not to fuck with went, Nebula had done a good job of letting everyone in the prison know. It certainly made a statement to crush the Queen of the Inhumans who was also gang leader, even if they only reigned as a gang leader for a day.

"Right." Carol had no trouble believing Nebula. "And what makes you think I will give over my role as leader?"

“You won’t give me anything. But I will take it from you and make you watch as I rip you apart slowly, piece by piece, until you’re nothing but my bitch.” Nebula was more than a little intense.

Carol looked around the gym for any ally, anyone who still was part of her group. But it seemed like she was outnumbered. A strong arm around Carol’s waist interrupted her train of thought and pulled her backwards against a tall, firm body. Startled, she gasped and reflexively tried to struggle, but the muscular inmate held her tight. Craning her neck, she stared up at her captor, Proxima Midnight. Her pale white and blue skin gleamed under the harsh lighting, her long dark hair flowing back, and Carol could feel her six-pack flexing against her back and her biceps bulging where she held her. Carol had fought bigger, but that was when she had powers. At the moment she couldn't do much else but kick in vain. But, despite her panic, she couldn't help but admire her captivating features - high cheekbones, dark piercing eyes and full, sensual lips. What a breathtaking and intimidating beauty.

"This will be easier for you if you just submit" Proxima grinned, showing her teeth. Her hand cupped Carol’s stomach possessively and the once mighty hero shivered, her palm hot as it caressed down her abdomen. Carol’s pulse raced as she looked for an opening, any opening, to fight back.

“Not so strong now are you, Annihilator?” Dar-Benn jeered. She didn’t wait for Nebula’s approval to proceed with her vengeance against the woman responsible for her incarceration. Stepping in front of Carol, she smiled and peeled open Carol’s jumpsuit. 

Carol suddenly became hyper-aware of Dar-Benn’s fingers lazily tracing circles on her bare midriff and dozens of eyes around them following the movement. “You’ll regret this!” She shouted, attempting to hit Proxima with her elbow but not before her movement was arrested by Dar-Benn’s other hand. 

Proxima’s low chuckle rumbled through her chest as the hand on Carol’s stomach descended, her fingertips brushing the waistband of Carol’s underwear. "Hush now, Captain. You’ll want to save your energy for what we have planned for you." Proxima leaned down so that her warm breath could be felt against Carol’s ear. 

"You can go fuck yourself.” Carol replied, overwhelmed by her presence, reduced to a defenseless yet defiant mess in Proxima’s  strong arms. She knew about what the Black Order did when they besieged cities, and shivered at the thought, goosebumps creeping up her skin. She wondered if they’d kill her when this was over or if they’d make her their bitch. The former seemed preferable. Weakly laughing at the absurdity of her position, the fact that her downfall was being cornered in prison and not on the countless galactic battlefields she’d fought in, Carol quipped: “You’re really making me reconsider having let you join my gang.” It was just a tactic to not panic. They could do what they wanted with her, but she wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of being afraid. 

"It’s not your gang anymore." Nebula said as Proxima’s grip around Carol’s waist tightened possessively and her knees almost buckled. Meanwhile, Dar-Benn’s other hand cupped and kneaded Carol’s breasts, teasing her nipples with her thumb before pinching and twisting them with a laugh. A small grunt escaped Carol’s lips as she struggled through the pain. “Let’s show her what we do to Terran whores.” Nebula decreed

Before Carol’s mind could process her words, Dar-Benn stepped aside and Proxima lifted her up bridal style, effortlessly lifting her frame as if she weighed nothing at all. Carol gasped, her heart pounding in her chest. Proxima was so strong and dominant that she made Carol feel like a tiny, delicate doll. Like a toy in her hands for her amusement. 

As the horned alien carried her to one of the tables, hollers and cheers erupted from the inmates around us, forcing a searing blush to appear along Carol's cheeks.

"Look at that little bitch they’ve got there!” Whistled Mystique as she slowed the treadmill she’d been running on. 

"10 cigs the petúx will break after Proxima’s had her way with her!" Silver Sable laughed as she blew a cloud of smoke. 

Hela, entering the gym and reclining on a bench to watch, looked on with grim amusement. "This is the one they once called Captain Marvel? I expected more of a fight.” She remarked with a hint of disappointment to her tone. 

The excitement in the gym was palpable, weights scraped across the ground as they were dropped, conversations were abandoned and hungry, eager eyes followed Proxima’s confident strides. Carol was mortified and rageful in equal measure. They all were going to use her today, weren't they?

The taunts continued as Proxima tossed Carol on to the nearest weight bench, indifferent to the inmate already on it. The prisoner who's been using it quickly got out of the way. Immediately, Proxima pushed Carol onto her back so that she lay spread out in front of her. She then grabbed Carol by her jumpsuit and underwear and then ripped them off in one fell swoop and tossed them aside on the floor, leaving Carol in nothing. And although she’d been naked in front of others before, Carol hadn't felt as bare and open for appraisal as she did now. People knew not to make comments when she was the leader of the Galaxy Gals, but now she may as well have been some weak, pathetic new girl. Exposed to over fifty inmates, her tits and womanhood on full display. In an instinctive attempt to preserve what modesty she had left, her knees rose and she covered her chest with her arms.

"Stop covering yourself." Proxima demanded, moving her left hand to Carol’s throat and pressing with all her force for a moment. "Let me get the whole view. Show the room your body.." And with that, she took Carol’s knees and forced them apart, her feet dangling helplessly over the edge of the bench. Carol didn't try to pull them back together, knowing it was futile.

Carol grit her teeth as she tried to resist as Proxima forced herself on her, pinning the hero down without any difficulty. Nothing was worse for Carol than knowing that, if not for the collar around her neck, she could have shot the woman with a blast so powerful she’d have been a hole in the wall. But she simply couldn’t do anything while Proxima rested her hand on her sex and rubbed back and forth as if to get an idea on how she should begin. 

Proxima grinned down at Carol and undid the zip of her prison jumpsuit, unleashing her fully pale alien breasts, nipples sharp as daggers. Carol swallowed audibly, then let out another frustrated grunt. 

"Like what you see, Captain?" Proxima chuckled, clearly amused at the bewildered expression on her victim’s face. The chaotic noises around the cafeteria blended into a dull buzz and all Carol could hear was the sound of her own breaths and the beating of her heart. 

Proxima then pinned Carol’s wrists above her head, the scent of her sweat enveloping her. Carol’s body went limp. All she could do was stare into her glowing sanguine eyes, locked into a silent challenge for the woman to just get on with it. “Maybe I’ll be gentler if you ask nicely.” the alien said. It was something she told her victims just to make them beg but it never changed her approach. 

“Sorry. Begging isn’t my thing.” Carol replied, knowing she was only making things worse for herself but unwilling to break. 

Proxima let out a deep ominous laugh. "I will enjoy breaking you." One of her hands crept between their naked bodies and guided the tip of her finger to Carol’s wet folds. Her body twitched and her walls instantly clenched around nothing. Then, when she finally tried to push herself in and penetrate Carol she met resistance. Carol’s pussy remained too tight and unyielding to allow her finger to violate her. No matter how aggressively the alien tried to force herself in, the Captain’s body was less than compliant. 

"So you’re one of the tight ones?" Proxima huffed with growing frustration.

Carol squirmed and bit her lip, a bead of sweat rolling down her forehead. The tension and friction of her relentless attempts were painful. 

"You will loosen up! Relax your fucking cunt." Proxima demanded, violently pressing her weight down on Carol more and plunging two fingers up her pussy careless to how badly it may hurt. And believe me, it hurt. Carol forced back tears at what was happening. The other prisoners were now laughing and jeering at Carol’s expense. Proxima gave a few more tentative thrusts, but the result remained the same. Nothing. Carol could feel the irritation radiating off her, and as her grip on her wrists tightened and her nails dug into her flesh, she became aware she was about to do something rash.

"Aw look at the poor, pathetic whore!" One of the prisoners, Typhoid Mary, interjected, her voice laced with mocking amusement. Half of her freckled face was still gaudily caked in white foundation and her oily ginger hair fell in messy, knotted strands that suggested she’d not brushed it since her first day in prison. But she now also had a bandage over her nose and her left eye was surrounded by a massive purple bruise courtesy of her last encounter with Jessica Jones. "Guess she’s just not ready. You girls should just pass her around. Let everyone get their turn and stretch her!”

"Fuck off.” Nebula growled, arms crossed as she enjoyed the sight of Carol’s fate.

As for Carol, she was breathing heavily in an attempt to keep calm. She knew where this was probably going…“We of the Galaxy Gals will take her first. Afterwards , the rest of you will pay me a pack to do whatever you want to her.” Her menacing eyes darted over the inmates and guards around them, daring anyone to challenge her. The others fell silent, their attention glued to the spectacle.

"Alright!" Mary replied, raising her palms defensively and giggling to herself. "Just a suggestion. I know she's yours.”

Proxima grunted and turned her focus back to Carol, her expression dark, her jaw clenched. Carol’s throat felt dry and she couldn't stop the anxious tremble that shook her shoulders. She wanted to say something, some quippy remark, but before she could utter a word, Proxima had lifted her up by her hips, her upper back, shoulders and neck still resting on the dewy surface, her ass and pussy in the air, supported only by Proxima’s strong hands. Proxima’s fingers pushed up Carol’s pussy and she began to finger her, unyielding in her jagged motions as she furiously pumped in and out. The newfound bitch did what she could to suppress agonised moans. 

Nebula watched as Carol squirmed and tensed, doing anything she could to try and make herself bear through the pain. The cybernetic alien had never seen a sight as hot as the woman’s foolish attempt at bravery even as she was publicly humiliated. 

Carol gasped as her clit was stroked in quick circular motions that made her melt. She clenched her fists. Everything seemed to slow down for a moment as Proxima’s fingers were utterly relentless working away at her pussy. She couldn’t let herself cum. Not here. Not like this. She was Carol fucking Danvers, the savior of universe. She just had to hold on- and then, despite her efforts, she felt a twisted feeling of euphoria wash over her as she came.

Proxima loomed over her and ripped her fingers out and licked the juices off, savouring the taste. Carol was mortified but it didn’t matter. That was just the start because Dar-Benn, Minn-Erva, and Nebula, with her face looking down at Carol’s, converged once around her…

Dar-Benn grabbed Carol by the foot and aggressively pulled at her while Minn-Erva grabbed her hand and wrestled it between her thighs. Nebula plopped down on top of Carol’s face and began riding her, Proxima laid down and sloppily sucked on Carol’s nipples, and Dar-Benn used Carol’s left foot as a sex toy.

Carol could barely focus on everything that was happening to her body. Minn-Erva using Carol to masturbate, the palm of her hand being grinded against the Kree woman’s wet sex, was disturbing. Proxima biting at her hardened nipples made her want to gag. But the real embarrassment came from what was being done with her foot.

The tip of Carol’s left foot stroked through what felt like a tangled mess of long curly hairs before Dar-Benn's sadistic voice told her to “Stop squirming”. She was wrestling to get the tip of Carol’s foot between her pussy lips, Carol’s toes flicking back and forth in panic made it hard to work but very satisfying. 

True revulsion came from Nebula, the feeling of the woman's pussy riding her face was so disgusting and even worse was the knowledge that she expected her to lick. When she didn’t, Proxima bit down hard at her tit until she started complying for the new gang leader. Carol would have yelled every expletive imaginable if her mouth wasn't covered by Nebula’s crotch. She was far more used to being on the receiving end of being eaten out in prison.

Nebula rode Carol’s face hard and fast, bare butt rubbing up and down as she squirmed and aggressively moaned at the hero’s unwilling licks. “Right there” she breathed heavily, tilting forwards a little to get just the perfect angle. Carol thought of biting her but there was no point. Assessing her situation, she realised that injuring Nebula in any way at the moment left her at a disadvantage where Proxima could bite her nipple off before any guards could interfere. 

Proxima Midnight lay chest down, tits squeezed up against Carol’s body, softly pressed one nipple between her teeth while her hand lightly pinched the other. She relished the pain – the muffled sound that barely escaped Carol’s mouth.

Carol’s fingers were now slick with Minn-Erva’s cum. But that sensation was drowned out by her foot being pushed between the lips of Dar-Benn’s womanhood with no respect for her possible autonomy. The extremist had decided that Carol’s involuntary flicking may not have been the worst thing, as her toes nudged and squirmed up her wet vagina hitting all of the right spots. 

Sweaty bodies pressed up against her and entirely lost by the various moans all around, Carol could hardly tell who she’d satisfied as each woman orgasmed again and again onto her. Cheers, applause and laughter erupted around them, reminding Carol that they weren't alone. That dozens of inmates had watched her be assaulted by her own gang. 

Nebula moaned in ecstasy while the captain remained stoic as a spray of cum hit her nose and another covered her eyepatch, splattering her face and turning her cheek white.

"This is your life now, bitch." Nebula taunted, brushing Carol’s cum-soaked hair out of her face with a gentle hand. Carol blinked, her mind hazy and unfocused. Nebula finally got off Carol’s face, standing proud as she announced:  "Who wants to take a turn with her next?" It was met with more excited laughs and whistles. She chuckled, then patted Carol’s cheek sinisterly.

-

Madame Viper slithered on top of Carol’s laid out body and dealt a devastatingly harsh slap to her tits just to watch how Carol reacted. When the most that she got was a wince, she went again. And again. And again. Not stopping until Carol’s breasts were red mounds, and only then did she move on to twisting her nipples. Just enough to be excruciating. 

Through it, Carol reached as deep as possible to resist giving in. But thankfully Viper’s next words dragged her back to her deep-rooted defiance against such awful people. Reminding her just how much she refused to give in on principle alone. 

“This would have been so much easier for you if you’d joined us, race traitor. It’s such a pity to see good Aryan genes wasted on people like you!” the bigot said with a strange sorrow, as if truly saddened. But not sad enough to stop her from fingering her. Nothing was gay about fingering another woman…

-

“Let’s see that ass, baby! Yeah!” Typhoid Mary exclaimed as she turned Carol over and began feeling up her butt with one hand while she smoked with the other. She seemed to be in complete heaven at the chance to squeeze and spank the arse of an actual big-time superhero. “Welcome to prison! No more of that superheros in charge shit! You’re going to be our plaything!” Mary grinned widely, too widely. “I’m going to carve my name into your body with a shiv and then I’ll make you eat out my sweaty cunt. How’s that sound, whore?”

“You’re…deranged!” Carol spat. This was never what she’d imagined her life in The Raft would turn to, such absolute chaos. But here she was. “I’m going to enjoy…breaking…your…jaw.”

Typhoid Mary laughed. “Oh silly, you keep telling yourself whatever you want.” That’s when the madwoman had an idea…

Carol felt a heat against her rear and immediately she realised to her horror what it was. A burning hot object pressed against her butthole, sizzling against her raw flesh. The sensation was a deep, aching pain. A searing that went all the way to the bone. Her whole body convulsed but she didn’t scream. What was it that Mary had done? She was putting out a lit cigarette against her skin. 

Captain Marvel genuinely thought she was going to blackout from the pain, the agony lasting long after the embers had been snuffed out to ash. Her asshole had been branded. 

She then felt as Typhoid Mary stepped in front of her and presented her unwashed, half-shaven womanhood, one side as bushy as could possibly be while the other was almost completely smooth. “Start licking, whore!” Mary said happily. 

-

Silver Sable grabbed Carol’s legs while Madame Masque pinned her arms and body to the bench. Vanessa Fisk stood over her, her legs either side of her body, and she squatted down. Carol tried to pull her head away but the mobwife grabbed her blonde hair and pushed her face into her unshaven pussy. Although Carol didn’t eat it, gagging inside her crotch, Fisk got off on it anyway.

After a while, Carol accepted that Vanessa wouldn't let her breathe unless she used her tongue and so began. Vanessa moaned and grinded herself against Carol’s face. Then Silver Sable had a turn. Then Madame Masque. And then all three used her at once, rubbing their bodies against her. Caressing whatever they so desired. 

-

“Odin’s beard!" The raven-haired Goddess of Death moaned as she climaxed onto Carol, her body twitching and jerking, her sharp fingernails digging into Carol’s sides and leaving crescent-shaped marks. The hero winced and whimpered, every touch aggravating her inflamed walls, her body worn and exhausted beyond belief. "You’re a remarkable fuck" Hela gave a few more lazy thrusts of her fingers, then finally pulled out with a vulgar pop. 

Carol wanted to say something, but she'd already walked away and disappeared into the crowd – instantly replaced by a muscular, short-haired blonde – Anastasia Kravinoff. Strong hands flipped Carol over and forced her onto her stomach, her chin pressed uncomfortably into the metal surface, her cheek pressed against it. The inmate positioned herself between her legs before unceremoniously shoving her fist into her abused hole. The pain was absolutely searing after the cigarette burn and Carol couldn't stop herself from letting out an agonised groan as her whole body thrusted up. 

"Ugh, what a mess!" Anastasia the Huntress grunted. "You’re disgusting." Still, she seemed undeterred, ramming her hand into Carol with quick, desperate shoves. “Thanks for the hole, bitch!” She laughed as the onlookers around them cheered her on, encouraging her to get rougher and faster, eager to claim their turn with Carol next.

-

Carol lay sprawled on the table like a broken doll, her limbs numb, her muscles sore, her sex raw and aching. Her breasts scraped against the metal every time a new partner abused her, and her sticky, cum-soaked blonde hair stuck to her face and shoulders in clumps. But despite her exhaustion and physical condition she still hadn’t cried. Hadn’t pleaded. Hadn’t given them the satisfaction of showing just how violated she felt. 

An impatient finger nudged her lips. She didn’t know whose, but she obediently opened her mouth to receive it, sucking on the fingers soaked in her juices with what little energy she had left. Her hands were grabbed and led to two more people who wanted her to get them off and she began to stroke lazily, her movements mechanical and detached.

She'd lost count of how many cons had used her and how many orgasms she’d helped them achieve. Two dozen, maybe? All around her, women masturbated, rubbed themselves against her skin, cumming wherever they saw fit; her hair, her tits, her face.

One inmate after another had their way with Carol’s body that first day as the new bottom bitch of the Galaxy Gals. They took her as they saw fit, treating her roughly and carelessly. Tossing her around, bending and folding her into whatever position suited them. And she hated every moment. 

When the guards eventually announced the end of free time and ordered everyone to get on back to their cells (much later than usual, she suspected), all that was left of Captain Marvel, gang leader and hero, was a used-up shell, panting and heaving in utter exhaustion. She couldn't move if she tried. Couldn't get up if she wanted to. And yet inside a fire still burned. Each and every single one of them would pay. They’d feel her wrath. 

————————————————————— 

And where was Valkyrie during all of this?

“Doesn’t this seem a little dramatic?” The Asgardian warrior asked as she stood in the yard beside a seated Sylvie, leaned back in her seat as if regally on a throne.

As was the tradition of Asgard, the king – or gang leader in this case – was overseeing the matters of her subjects. Settling the disputes of her people and tending to legal matters. In prison that often included a lot more ‘who has rights to use what slave’ and ‘how long one should have to wait before they are paid in cigarettes.’ 

“My loins burn to be one to have the honour of sex with Thor, and she is the closest thing I have to that in here...” Amora the Enchantress, a blonde Æsir witch explained. “...and yet she has thrice refused acts I wish to perform!” 

This dispute was over Jane Foster, conveniently kneeled submissively beside Sylvie. Amora had an unhealthy obsession with Thor Odinson, an all consuming crush that went back centuries. Who slept with who and killed what was of little importance; but what did matter was that her transfiction with the God of Thunder had transferred over to Jane now that the scientist had become the Mighty Thor. 

This was the third time in the last month that Sylvie had to deal with this. "So you want her to eat you out? Just your loins or...?"

“Yes I want her to eat me out…among other things.” Amora nodded. 

Sylvie’s face became grave, managing to seem quite fear-inducing. “When you joined my gang it was understood it was at the sufferance of your King. I said I would instruct her to eat you out once per evening. And that I may reward you with more if you served me well. But if you tried to take more than your King permits, I would hear of it, and you would be punished." She gestured to Valkyrie to look suitably intimidating. “Why is it then that you’ve asked her for other things?”

“I have not broken that deal! I demand she perform other acts, but only once does she eat me out in a session.” Amora’s loophole was far from a solid argument. Especially when she was trying to fool the Goddess of Mischief. 

Sylvie glared at Amora. "Brunnhilde, it seems she has forgotten her place. Please remind her of it.” As Valkyrie seized a struggling Amora, Sylvie added: “And fetch Ghost and the buxom one.’

————————————————————— 

Karli Morganthau had been having a rough go of things as of late. Ever since Jessica Jones publicly humiliated her in the showers, she’d lost most of the minimal respect she had in Hydra. And then, if that wasn’t bad enough, she’d been given one chance to redeem herself…and promptly lost to Jessica again. Her standing in the gang was little more than that of a bitch, Most of her day was spent licking the pussy of one member or another or, worse, their ass. Her mouth felt perpetually sore. 

Pulling back as she was sprayed with Sinthea “Sin” Schmidt’s cum, she looked up at her prison mommy with desperation only to be met with the woman’s ire. “C-Can I wash my face?” Karli nervously asked. 

“Useless fucking bitch.” Sin snapped for seemingly no reason as she rested her foot on Karli’s face and then shoved her back so that the girl tumbled and nearly hit her head against the wall of the cramped cell. Sin seemingly at random entered bad moods where she was sure to take it out on whoever she could.

Karli staggered to get back up but already Sin was upon her, grabbing her by the throat and then bending her over so that her face hovered just above the metal bowl of the cell’s toilet. Just one little shove and Karli would go face-first into the disgusting water. “Go on. Wash your face.” Sin jeered just before shoving Karli in.

Thirty minutes later Karli was sitting on the floor, face still wet, watching as Sin made out with Madame Viper. She couldn’t do it anymore. She needed a way out of this. And then it hit her. Wanda Maximoff was her chance at earning Sin’s respect again. Wanda had been on Hydra’s list for a very long time…and if Karli were the one to finally claim her, no one would object to how tough she was! 

It was as soon as Sin and Viper started doing things that totally were not gay that Karli left the cell, putting on as tough a face as she could as she sought the witch. 

-

Just as Wanda was leaving a defeated Agatha Harkness, Karli emerged with a shiv in hand. “Listen up, bitch, you’re mine or I’ll fucking stab you.”

Wanda locked eyes with her and Karli saw how there was nothing behind them. A complete emotional void. Her threat of death meant nothing when that was all Wanda wanted. 

“Stab me then.” Wanda said, her words husk-like. She made no attempt to fight back, or to flee. She stood waiting, staring at her would-be assailant. Hydra had wanted her ever since she arrived at The Raft and she’d sacrificed so much of herself just so Jean would protect her from them. But she was done. Jean’s protection came at too high of a cost. If her life came to an end at the tip of a weapon fashioned out of plastic cutlery so be it.

Karli didn’t know what to do. “Stab you?” She stuttered, losing any sort of fire she’d mustered for this encounter. She’d killed people before. That’s why she was in prison after all. But she hadn’t planned to do it again today. Besides, killing Wanda was not half as meaningful as claiming her. 

She gripped the blade tight as she hesitated, looking for some way to step back the threat. But she wouldn’t have to deliberate long as, out of nowhere, Wanda fearlessly stepped closer and grasped her by the throat. 

“You should have followed through with your threat.” Wanda eerily said, almost disappointed that Karli was a coward. “You’re not going to enjoy what happens to you next.”

Karli’s eyes went wide with fear as she felt the witch’s fingers tighten around her throat, pressing into her flesh until it became harder and harder to breathe. Her eyes went wide as she gasped and coughed, her body shaking. The room became fuzzy and her thoughts began to scatter in every direction. She was going to die in prison in some futile attempt to earn the respect of literal nazis. Nazis who routinely sexually abused her. She never had agreed with their views. She’d only joined because she was young, weak, and afraid when they cornered her during her first shower. The only other option to joining was being their bitch and yet that had happened anyway. 

Then her thoughts became clear and she remembered that she was holding that shiv. Her fight or flight responses kicking in, she thoughtlessly made the motion to drive the blade into Wanda’s abdomen…but the blade was ripped from her grasp by a force unseen. The answer to what had taken it was found as Wanda’s eyes briefly shimmered with chaos magic. 

Next Karli attempted to scream for help, but she found that nothing escaped her hoarse vocal chords. And so she weakly tried to kick until she was too weak for that too. Now entirely unable to draw breath, things started to go dark. She’d never been so afraid. 

Wanda let her go, but not before shoving the amateur Neo-Nazi to the ground. “If you ever come near me again I will kill you. Do you understand?”

“Y-Yes.” Karli hastily said, although it came out as little more than a raspy whisper. “T-Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me.” Wanda said, placing her bare foot on the girl’s stomach to keep her pinned down. “I’m letting you live… this time …but that doesn’t mean that we’re done.” 

Karli felt her jumpsuit begin to open itself, ripping with such speed that it nearly tore apart the cheap material the prison clothes were made out of. It stopped just as it parted to reveal her freckled tits. She knew where this was going. 

Wanda took her foot off Karli and stepped towards her cart of cleaning supplies. “Get on all fours.” She cruelly commanded without so much as the slightest hesitation about what she was going to do to her. 

Karli nervously did as told, still taking in deep frantic breaths as she refilled her lungs after nearly being choked to death. Shaking, she assumed the position and stifled her tears as her jumpsuit came undone entirely and then slipped down her tattooed body. She told herself that this was better than dying and that it was nothing compared to what Hydra routinely did to her…and then she felt it. A sharp shooting pain as the shaft of something came ramming up her rectum with enough force to truly do intense damage if this wasn’t a kink story. 

She screamed, her voice ringing through the hall, as she turned around to see the handle of a mop extending out her rear, expanding her butthole to twice its usual size. Wanda, lifting the object out slightly and then shoving it back down, smirked at Karli’s agony. 

“Enjoying yourselves?” A passing guard casually asked, watching the sight unfold as she followed her patrol route. 

Wanda looked down at Karli’s now sobbing face and then back at the guard. “Of course. She’s really enjoying herself. I think she wants me to shove this in deeper…”

The guard chuckled and went along their way, no stranger to seeing the inmates sexually abuse each other. They walked away just as Karli screamed even louder at the mop handle pushing deeper. 

-

Karli groaned as she lay on the floor. The mop had been removed and Wanda had left ten minutes ago, but she still hadn’t found the strength to get back up. The pain was surreal. She thought she may lay there until the guards took her back to her cell but then she heard two people approaching. Immediately she tensed, worrying one of them may be Wanda back for more, but instead she saw only Dazzler and Titania looking down at her. 

Titania, whether consciously or unconsciously, thought back on the previous night and how horny she’d been without a man in sight for the foreseeable future (because there was no way she’d actually serve her full thirty years, right?). Dazzler was completely wrong about her being attracted towards She-Hulk, but maybe there was some merit to possibly maybe making do with what she had available. It was impulsive when she proclaimed: “You’re my bitch now!”

“What?” Both Dazzler and Karli exclaimed in unison, equally bewildered. 

The influencer imposingly rested one arm against the wall as she bent forward ever so slightly, seemingly towering over the sitting Karli. ”Alright, come on get up. I don’t have all day.”

Ass still hurting from the mop handle that Wanda had shoved up it, Karli managed to stammer: “I-I’m in Hydra! You can’t do this!”

“Really? I don’t see them anywhere…” Titania grinned. “And ‘can’t do this?’ Babe, I can do whatever I want.”

Karli could accept a lot of things, but there was absolutely no way she was about to become two people’s claimed bitch within a single hour. Despite a near debilitating sting to her rectum that made her knees shake, she stood up. She was no stranger to being in pain after sex, the neo-nazis who took turns with her were far from gentle after all. And so it was for that reason that she managed to push through it as she let out a battlecry and threw the first punch against Titania. 

Her fist met with Titania’s chest, causing the influencer to stagger back in shock. “How dare you!” she shouted, reeling as she attempted to return the blow to a psyched up Karli. 

Dazzler, for her part, simply took a step back and laughed at both of them. They both looked like complete idiots right now and there was no way she was getting involved in whatever was happening. 

“You bitch!” Karli spat as she was struck firmly in the shoulder. But she wouldn’t be talking for long as she was kneed in the stomach and the air seemed to shoot out of her lungs. 

Titania desperately missed her super-strength at the moment. Without the collar around her neck she could have sent the redhead flying, instead of just a few stumbling footfalls back. “I’m not a bitch. You’re a bitch!” She childishly retorted. 

Karli recovered just in time to defend herself from another hit, evading it carefully enough that she grabbed hold of Titania’s long hair and pulled. But she wasn’t able to block herself from the elbow to her ribcage, instantly causing her to let go as she fell to the floor.

She wasn’t able to get back on her feet before Titania had ripped her underwear off of her and was frowning as she took in the sight of her first bitch. “Is that all you’ve got?” she mocked.

Before Karli knew it, she was being dragged to Titania and Dazzler’s cell.

—————————————————————

“Kate Bishop, I have decided not to make you eat my butt!” Yelena announced as she threw the barred door of her cell wide open and stepped in triumphantly. She was glad to be back in her cell. It wasn’t much but it was home. And now living in that home came with her first actual real girlfriend! One bonus of prison was that moving in together wasn’t that big of a step in a relationship. It was just practical to be together at all times. 

“Cool!” Kate replied, a little surprised by Yelena just randomly barging in. But pleasantly so. She’d missed her. But then what Yelena said registered. “Wait…decided? Were you planning on making me do that…?”

“Yes.” Yelena stated plainly. “But Natasha told me it was bad idea so I won’t make you.”

“Thank you?” Kate wasn’t sure how to respond to that but was relieved that she wasn’t being made to do anything. “So where’d the guards take you this morning?”

“I can’t say.” Yelena said with no further elaboration. 

Kate nodded. “Oh…ok. Well, can you say why?”

“No.” Yelena was giving nothing. 

Kate was having a hard time trying to figure out how to navigate this conversation but kept trying. “How’s Black Widow? Running a gang can't be easy.”

“She’s good.” Yelena was really giving nothing. 

The archer tapped her fingers and tried to think of another possible conversation starter. “Talk about anything interesting?”

“No.”

“...come across any trouble on your way back?” Kate felt like she was running out of things to ask. 

Yelena was equally perplexed by the intense row of questions she was being asked. It reminded her of being a willing-captive of people she was supposed to get information off of and then assassinate. “No. Why do you interrogate me, Kate Bishop?”

Kate worried she’d said something wrong. “Well I’d like to catch up…” she explained, but then she understood what wasn’t being said. “...but you want me to do that thing don’t you?”

“I do.” Yelena nodded. “But only if you want to.”

Kate’s pulse quickened and she bit her lip. “...I kind of do.” Look, she was just starting to explore her sexuality. While it wasn’t an act that immediately sprang to mind when she thought of what lesbian sex entailed- wait why was that something she’d thought about before prison? Which, pondering that question really made some things make sense. How in denial had she been?! 

“Ha! I told Natasha you would want to. She owes me ten cigarettes.” Yelena was already undressing and pulling her underwear off, leaning over the bottom bunk with her arse presented to Kate. 

Kate was distracted by the sight of Yelena’s generous rear, but couldn’t help but ask: “How did you know?”

“You lost your virginity with me. It makes sense you would want to explore all of my body.” Yelena said matter of factly. It was no surprise that someone would find her attractive.  

Out of principle Kate had to set the record straight. “You know I wasn’t a virgin, right?” She’d been with others, just not other women. 

“You are so funny, Kate Bishop.” Yelena laughed, finding her cellmate very amusing. There was no way Kate wasn’t a virgin before they slept with each other.  

Kate furrowed her brow, somewhat annoyed. “No seriously. I wasn’t a virgin.”

“The joke is stale now.” Yelena really wanted to start already. 

Kate sighed, trying to figure out what was so unbelievable about it. It wasn’t like she was Cassie Lang who was extremely innocent. She was a cool Olympic level archer…if not better. Sure she didn’t know much about surviving in prison, but she had some world experience. “I’m not joking!” She insisted. 

“...ok” Yelena’s tone clearly conveyed that she didn’t believe her but was simply just trying to get Kate to move on. Fearing that it was too subtle, she added: “Now put your tongue in my crack.”

The archer internally debated whether or not it was worth pushing the topic but decided there was no point. She’d find a way to prove it…somehow. Kate got on her knees, her face pressed against Yelena’s behind. “Do I just start licking or…”

Yelena had closed her eyes expecting to feel Kate start, only to get a weird ass kiss. “Yes. You will figure it out fast.”

Kate pushed her tongue out until its wet tip entered Yelena’s crack. Her whole body was filled with a sensation of the utmost disgust…and yet she was kind of turned on. She tried to not think about what was happening specifically as she slowly ran her tongue down the crease in fear that it would kill her mood. She applied more pressure and she could feel her tongue bend along as she worked her way along her new girlfriend’s ass. 

—————————————————————

“Ok, maybe I was wrong. Let’s never go to the yard again.” Kitty stumbled along, exhausted after giving Illyana three rounds of oral. 

Similarly exhausted, Rogue only groaned in response as she came shambling behind her girlfriend like a reanimated corpse that had long since entered rigor mortis and was being held together by stray strings of muscle and sinew. She’d have been flattered by how undead she looked…if she hadn’t been too tired to walk. Illyana was a brand new form of being the worst after getting a serious beatdown from Captain Marvel. And the guards had been completely useless as ever. 

There was only one place to go where they could rest and it wasn’t their cell (where Illyana may show up at any moment), the rec room. 

Entering the room, they navigated towards the coach where Kitty wished aloud: “Please don’t be occupied. Please don’t be occupied. Please don’t be occupied…yay.” Even Kitty’s ‘yay’ sounded almost as deadpan as Rogue’s normal tone. But at least the seat was vacant. And so they collapsed into the worn down cushions.

“How does she like have that much energy?” Kitty asked aloud, not expecting a response. Illyana was a freak of nature if she somehow had enough stamina to work in the mines, torment Rogue and Kitty, and bully Dani and Rahne. 

Rogue simply stared glass-eyed at the appalling pantomime playing on the television in front of them. An episode of I Love Lucy! A feel-good nightmare of smiles and jokes. A demented, formulaic, lobotomy-lust inducing, monochromatic half hour of vintage television that she’d seen play on the tv almost every single day since her incarceration started, a marathon broken up only by Bewitched and The Dick Van Dyke Show. She hadn’t loathed any of the shows upon first viewing, but after seeing them every single day?

The gothic mutant was aware that she was probably only this annoyed by it because of the day she’d had, but she needed something to vent her frustration at. “If I hear one more canned laugh I’m gonna cut my ears off with a crayon.” Crayons were the only form of writing utensil inmates at The Raft were permitted to use due to safety hazards. 

Kitty only cringed at that graphic mental imagery. 

Staring hatefully at the scene unfolding on the screen, Rogue resolved to do something she’d never done before; shut the tv off. Just for a bit. Wanda wasn’t even in the room. It wasn’t fair that just because the witch was Jean Grey’s bitch that she somehow had complete dominion over what everyone got to watch at all times. 

Rogue stood and she turned it off. The screen went dark and she felt a small semblance of peace. A semblance of peace that wouldn’t last long as, continuing the theme of the couple’s day, someone emerged into the room behind her. But it wasn’t Illyana this time. No, it was much worse. Wanda Maximoff. 

Wanda had a specific grudge against Rogue. If you remember the last main chapter, it was Rogue who she believed to be responsible for breaking the tip off one of her mops and she still was very much under that impression. So to now have the brat shut off the one thing outside the kitchen she controlled was an immediate grave insult that could only be met with drastic action. This was, according to her, Rogue’s second offense and there would be no third. She had to pay. 

Chaos itself circled an enraged Wanda Maximoff as her fingers twirled with the unmistakable silent casting of a hex. Neither reasoning or pleading could stop the witch’s wrath. There was a madness about her that was manic, the purest form of true inner-turmoil. Things had changed. She’d changed. Where once she was a grieving widow and mother, now only remained a damaged witch. If she couldn’t escape the prison of Jean’s abuse she would make everyone else equally miserable. The prison bitch who cowered to the ungrateful idiots who mistreated her was no more. 

“On. Your. Knees.” She commanded in a tone far more dominant than she’d been in awhile. The fury of the degradation she’d experienced coursed through her. Her eyes were hollows of madness, her hair broken, split, and knotted. She’d looked this way for years, but only now it seemed to give her a truly frightening glow. 

Rogue spun around and refused, fighting back against the sensation of chains that had wrapped around her body. Wanda wouldn’t tell her again. With a flick of her wrist she pushed her into the position of subservience and approached. 

Kitty jumped out of her seat and did the first thing that came to mind. She tried to calm the situation. “Look, I’m sure we can um talk this out, yeah? You don’t have to go all aggro on her.” She practically jumped out of her skin as Wanda furiously turned to her, looking absolutely terrifying. “...P-Please let go of my girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?” Wanda questioned. She didn’t realise Rogue had a loved one. That gave her an idea. “You want me to let your girlfriend go? Fine. But you’ll be punished instead.” If Rogue thought she could come in and mess with what Wanda loved, Wanda would hurt who Rogue loved. There definitely was no false equivalency between a cheap television and a person. 

“Wait what?!” Kitty exclaimed too late as her jumpsuit fell off her body and Wanda was upon her. “We’ll just turn on your tv…”

That would have seemed like a reasonable solution…to a person who wasn’t depressed, grieving, abused, and recently raped. Wanda was all of those things though and so Kitty’s offer was met with her utmost disinterest. “It’s too late for that now.” The witch said slowly, making each word ominous. 

“I-It really isn’t. I can just turn it back on.” Rogue explained, trying to reach for the button as the spell over her lifted. 

But Wanda absolutely wasn’t having it. “Touch it again and the guards won’t be able to save you before I’ve removed your fingers.”

Rogue considered just tapping Wanda on the cheek, a simple touch that would have left the witch in agony. But Rogue had been there when The Phoenix attacked Carol for harming Wanda without her permission and there was no way anything Wanda planned on doing to them at this moment would be worse than The Phoenix’s wrath. 

Wanda spun her hand and took a step back with her arm still around Kitty. "I could hold you down now and do whatever I want to you. But that isn't the kind of lesson that teaches people.” Wanda twirled her fingers and Rogue watched as Kitty was bent over so her ass stuck up high into the air. 

"Hurt her and I’ll kill you" threatened Rogue no matter how powerless she was. 

“I don’t want to hurt anyone…” Wanda looked solemn, almost sympathetic. Something in her seemed so exhausted and yet fierce at the same time. “...But I’ll do whatever it takes to make you leave me alone.”

Rogue didn’t see any of that though. She simply saw a mad witch who wanted to hurt her girlfriend for an absurdly minimal reason. Crossing her arms, she asked: “What do you want me to do?”  

"I’ve learned in the years since I first came here that a problem with prison is privacy. I’m sure you’ve noticed already, but you just can't do anything without being watched. It’s important that you get over people watching you. Masturbate." Wanda remembered how Rogue had previously touched herself to the sight of Wanda being abused by Jean and it seemed almost poetic to make her do it as a punishment. 

"Excuse me?" Rogue asked, hoping she had misheard. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been the first time she’d explored herself in front of others (prison showers were an isolating experience for her and there was something undeniably exciting about seeing someone get claimed), but she didn’t just do it for anyone. Especially not Jean Grey’s bitch. 

Wanda coldly said: "Take your clothes off, lie on the floor, and masturbate or I will shove my fist up your girlfriend.” 

"Are you serious?" exclaimed Rogue.

"What I had on the tv wasn’t good enough for you, so now you will entertain me." Said Wanda with a foreboding flatness. The rest of the room laughed and now adjusted their seats to get a better view. "So either I watch you pleasure yourself or you watch your Kitty’s tight little asshole get stretched out." The words she was saying felt alien to Wanda, like she was not even herself. She was basically just copying the kind of talk the dominant prison mommy’s used, but had no idea if she was doing it right. It felt weird but kind of good.

“It’s fine, Rogue! You don’t have to! Let her fist me!” Kitty said, heart racing as they were put into this terrible position. 

Rogue suddenly looked like a massive weight had just been taken off her shoulders. “Really?” She asked, relieved. If Kitty was willing to take the punishment, who was she to stop her?

“No! I was just like saying that to be polite! Please don't let her fist me!" exclaimed Kitty, annoyed that she had to spell it out for her girlfriend. “You’re like the worst girlfriend ever!” She, of course, didn’t mean that in anything beyond jest and knew Rogue would understand that. 

"I’m losing patience. Make your decision.” Wanda was moments away from deciding for herself. And her decision would have been to make Rogue publicly humiliate herself and shove her fist up Kitty. They deserved both for daring to touch her tv. This would show them and anyone else who was stupid enough to try the same. This was obviously a normal reaction to such a thing.

Rogue looked over to her girlfriend, her small round ass looked so vulnerable in the hands of Wanda. The thought of what it would be like to have a fist inside her made the goth wince. All around the other women were now gazing at her like lionesses waiting to be thrown their food. Wanda stared at her and Rogue imagined what it would be like to have the witch straddle Kitty’s face, forcing her to lick that bristly bush. There was no way Kitty could possibly forgive her if she chose to refuse. 

"Ok..." Rogue whispered.

"What was that?" Asked Wanda.

Rogue wanted to tell Wanda that she couldn’t wait to see her sobbing after the next time Jean abused her, but was terrified of what the witch might do in response. "I said ok... I’ll do it.”

"Tell me exactly what you are going to do" demanded Wanda, seemingly without taking any pleasure in what she was subjecting Rogue and Kitty to. This was simply justice. 

"I will masturbate in front of you…” Rogue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. It didn't help. She knew she was trembling. With shaking hands, she pulled her jumpsuit down, revealing her pale breasts. All eyes in the room were on her taking her in, staring at every piece of her body. She felt her skin go flush and her cheeks burned. She felt entirely exposed. Helpless. And yet the thought of what she had to do next kind of excited her. Her nipples began to tighten and go hard. She felt a flow of warmth descend between her legs. 

"On the floor.”  Said Wanda and Rogue obeyed. "Spread your legs."

Rogue sat on the floor, her knees together. She could feel the dampness start to trickle out of her. 

"If you don't spread them…" Wanda licked her middle finger and pressed it against the pucker of a very scared Kitty’s rectum. Rogue opened her legs. Wanda pulled her finger away and sat back down in her chair with Kitty sat naked on her knee, right in front of Rogue. “Begin.” The witch commanded, echoing a word she’d heard from Jean countless times before. 

Rogue reached down and with two fingers started to make circles around the top of her labia. She looked up and saw Kitty and Wanda staring down at her, focussed on her pussy. Her body continued to react, her nipples now stood sharp as a bed of nails and her juices squelched between her fingers and started running down her body. 

Wanda took hold of Kitty’s slim waist and started to pull her backward and forwards driving the girl's ass into her own crotch.

All around Rogue could see hands vanishing into orange jumpsuits and starting to move up and down. Now she kind of knew what it was like to be on the receiving end when she watched women like Karen Page being turned into bitches. Quite honestly, she regretted nothing…but at least she knew what it was like now.

Wanda moaned as Kitty’s ass was now obviously hitting the right spot. Rogue closed her eyes and tried to imagine she was by herself in her room at X-Mansion. She slipped a finger into her pussy and a slight moan of her own escaped her lips.

Rogue started to slide her fingers in and out, slowly at first but gaining speed. She could now hear moans and gasps all around. She opened her eyes to see some of the women had begun outright fingering themselves, their eyes fixed on her. She looked up and saw Wanda had pulled her own jumpsuit down to her knees and was rubbing Kitty’s ass directly onto her clit. 

Rogue could also see Kitty’s wetness pooling onto Wanda’s leg. Not that Wanda seemed to mind. It was far from the first time she’d had another woman’s cum on her body. Kitty’s nipples were now solid and when she saw Rogue looking up at her, she cupped her own breasts and then rolled her nipples between her fingertips. 

The erotic sight and sounds drove Rogue to finger herself harder and to use her other hand to spread her pussy lips and rub her clit directly. She felt her body tense. She was close. She heard a cry as another one of the inmates reached her climax, this instantly triggered another girl to call out as well.

Wanda made ragged breaths as she pulled Kitty even closer into her. Then Wanda stood up, lifting Kitty as she did. She then pushed Kitty down and bent her over the armrest, her butt once again sticking into the air. Rogue couldn’t help but take in the sight of the witch. Her butt was round and looked so soft to touch. Wanda then mounted Kitty, lowered her pussy onto the valley girl's arse and then started grinding down on her, using the leverage of her stance to drive her womanhood hard against Kitty’s ass. Kitty moaned slightly and took it.

This sight was too much for Rogue and she felt the tension release as her hips spasmed up and she came hard, sending a spray of juices out across the rec room floor. 

That was enough to get Wanda over the line. She threw back her head, driving herself hard and slow against Kitty’s ass then cried out in Sokovian. Her frail body trembled then buckled and she fell back into the chair, legs spread wide. She sat back to catch her breath and gently rubbed Kitty’s butt, slick with her cum.

Rogue felt her body settle down from its high. Around the room, those inmates who had not yet done so started to finish with gasps and moans. 

"That wasn't so bad.” Wanda said and then shoved Kitty at Rogue, who just barely caught her. "You've learned your lesson and can go. But don’t ever touch my tv again.”

————————— End Credit Scene ————————- 

“...She went full House of M on me! Except hopefully without the complete character assassination that ruins her character for the next decade. But that’s not my point. Laura, I can’t cum. Chastity! I have a chastity curse! Me! I’m going to starve to death! My pussy already burns.” Gwendolyn Poole ranted as she lay on the bottom bunk, having been carrying on a one-sided conversation for well over half an hour now. 

Laura Kinney, ears covered with her pillow, growled. She’d hoped Gwen would get tired of her own voice…or at least get the hint that she wasn’t interested in talking. Apparently neither was happening anytime soon though. “Shut up.”

Hearing Laura's voice after so long only made Gwen perk up. “There’s one way you could get me to shut up and it rhymes with hex…”

“No.” Laura said flatly. 

Gwen made a pouty expression and then pleaded: “Please…”

“Go to sleep.” Laura said in her ‘I’m going to claw you if you don’t leave me alone’ voice. 

There was silence. Sweet blissful silence. Gwen was actually quiet. Laura exhaled in relief and then shut her eyes in an attempt to meet the warm embrace of sleep. She’d had a long day, including meeting with Warden Valentina to join some top secret government project, but at least it was over. Just as she was about to drift off, Gwen exclaimed:

“Chastity!”



Chapter 34: Welcome to prison, Kamala Khan

Chapter Text

Kamala Khan knew the risks when she fought crime as Ms. Marvel despite the Sokovia Accords, but that didn't mean she liked the fact that the consequences had finally caught up to her.

She'd been upset when she was arrested, sad when her identity was revealed to the world, and utterly terrified when she received a sentence of thirty years in prison, but Kamala had had a lot of time to think, and despite the rather invasive intake procedure, she was determined to make the most of her new life at the Raft.

Mostly that was by taking comfort in the knowledge she'd be surrounded by superheroes at all times, her favorite people in the world! And above all, she was so excited to finally meet Carol Mother Freaking Danvers!

Which brought her to where she was now, standing in the yard looking a little aimless. Unlike most new arrivals, Kamala’s arrival at the prison came around midday and so the guards told her she had a significant amount of time before her cell was actually ready. A fact she didn’t mind though because that simply meant she could acclimate herself to her new environment for a bit. 

Being completely honest with herself, it was a bit oppressive standing in what was basically a courtyard surrounded by tall metallic walls and barbed wire…but she found it hard to focus on the negative details for long when right in front of her Natasha Romanoff was sitting on a bench talking to someone who Kamala didn’t recognise. 

“Please, Elektra! I’m sorry!” A voice suddenly cried to the right, instantly pulling Kamala’s attention away from Black Widow. The source was Karen Page being grabbed by the hair and forcefully being bent over face-first against a bench. 

Kamala gasped at the sight, taking a step back as if that would take her out of the situation. Still, she couldn't keep her eyes off of what was happening.

She'd heard jokes and rumors about the kind of things that went on in prison, but had always believed they weren't true.

“Sorry for what?” Elektra, Karen’s assailant/prison mommy questioned as she shoved her ex’s new lover as hard as she could while using her other hand to play with the zipper of Karen’s jumpsuit. 

“F-For saying Matt liked me more…” Karen stammered, pale face blushing as her clothes came undone and Elektra reduced her down to nothing more than her prison-issued panties. 

Kamala reacted without thinking, stuck in her superhero mindset as she ran towards Elektra before pushing her away. She then stood in front of the half-naked Karen, shielding her from her attacker. "I don't know what this was about, but that's a terrible thing to do to someone!"

Elektra snickered, looking at the adorably stupid girl trying to interrupt her playtime with Karen. “And who the fuck are you?” She jeered. 

Kamala blushed, realizing she may be in over her head. With her powers gone thanks to the collar she was forced to wear, she really didn't know if she'd be able to take Elektra down. But she put on a brave face and stood her ground. "I'm... Ms. Marvel."

“Well congrats, Ms. Marvel, because you’re going to be my new bitch.” Elektra, unintimidated, said as she came in to grab the annoying dork by her collar. 

Kamala wasn't sure what that meant, but she knew it wasn't good. She quickly pushed Karen out of the way and dodged Elektra's attack, taking a few steps back with her arms raised. "Can we pretend this never happened?"

A couple of nearby guards just chuckled as they watched the show, eager to watch the new girl get claimed.

A deadly assassin, Elektra was violent on a good day. But today wasn’t a good day. She was overworked, angry, and overtired (although that was her fault since she chose to spend most of the previous night tormenting her submissive cellmates). She was more than well trained enough to strike and make sure Kamala didn’t dodge this time…but she took the girl’s resilience as a personal offence. And so instead of just dealing with her in a normal way, Elektra unzipped her jumpsuit and produced from her underwear a shiv she’d made out of plastic cutlery. 

That's when the guards took off running, grabbing Elektra's arms and pinning them behind her back.

One guard wrestled the shiv out of her hand, then they both began dragging her away, all while an already traumatized Kamala looked on. "Does that happen... often here?"

“Weekly.” Karen tiredly replied, looking on with satisfaction at the sight of Elektra being dragged away while shouting obscenities at her arrestors. 

Kamala turned around to face the woman, giving her a shaky smile as she extended her hand. "Kamala Khan. I'm the new girl." She figured this woman could be a good friend. She seemed nice enough.

There was a pause before Karen ultimately decided not to shake Kamala’s hand. “I’m Karen. Thank you for trying to help…but I don’t think Elektra should see us getting close.” She knew the assassin would punish her when she came back from the hole and Karen didn’t want to make it worse for herself. 

Kamala frowned, hopes for a friendship with her fading. "Is she like your boss or something? Is she your gang leader? She'll shank you in your sleep if you don't do what she says?" She said this with a sympathetic cringe, unable to imagine living in fear like that. 

Karen sorrowfully nodded, hating every single second of incarceration. And, as much as she appreciated this rare moment of sympathy, she was terrified of the inevitable consequences. 

Kamala hated how sad this woman looked, giving her a quick and tight hug before stepping away. "I hope you find a way out of her gang." She then ran away, eager for a happier interaction, so she chose to introduce herself to the one and only Black Widow next!

Natasha clocked the stranger approaching almost immediately and just as quickly assessed that they weren’t a threat…which was not a good sign. The last time she’d had a non-threat come up to her they were Gwendolyn Poole and she wasn’t anticipating crushing a fangirl’s spirit again. 

Kamala stared at Natasha for a moment, a quiet squeal leaving her mouth like a slowly deflating balloon, until she finally erupted into a series of excited rambles. Nat could barely make out words like 'hero' and 'such an honor,' but most of it was essentially gibberish. You would almost think she was at a comic-con and not in prison. "...and I'm just your biggest fan!"

Natasha had a lot of biggest fans, #1 fans, self-proclaimed ‘stans,’ and pretty much any other descriptive of people who adored her. Personally, given everything she’d done prior to becoming an Avenger, she didn’t understand why anyone would look up to her, but she never was one to challenge it. It was kind of nice that people saw her in a positive way she didn’t. “Well I’m honoured to meet you. I don’t have a lot of fans in prison. Especially one as…enthusiastic as you.”

Kamala suddenly went silent, her heart pounding in her chest as she squirmed in excitement. The Black Widow was honored to meet her! "The Black Widow is honored to meet me! I guess there are some upsides to prison after all!"

“There are a few…” Natasha smirked, briefly thinking of the feeling of Pepper Potts’ tenderized bare butt as she spanked it…and then thought about the fact that this new girl was basically a walking invitation to being claimed. “...but I saw what happened between you and Elektra and I’m not going to say that this place isn't usually like that. Prison will eat anyone alive if they’re not careful.”

Kamala blushed at that, nodding quickly as she remembered the reality of her situation. "R-right... Do you have any survival tips? The 100 rules to surviving the Raft?" She looked around, growing more aware of the potential threats behind every corner.

“Do you want to sit?” Nat asked, noting Kamala’s nervous glance around the yard. She thought it was best to give the new girl some security before she gave her a crash course on incarceration.  

Kamala nodded again, then sat her big butt down on the bench with one of her biggest heroes. She was very nervous, both due to the super cool superhero sitting before her, and the general vibe of the prison.

“Rule number 1, avoid being noticed when you can. Realistically, you’re the new girl so a lot of eyes will be on you. But try to avoid getting into fights unless provoked. And even then always make sure a guard is around.”

The advice didn’t really apply to Natasha herself given the fact that she could beat up just about anyone who tried anything on her, but it was helpful to someone who was…less than dominant…like Kamala. 

Kamala lowered her head, already not liking the first rule. "But what if someone needs my help? It seems like a lot of women might..." She could never stop being a hero. It was in her blood.

Just as she said that, her eyes were drawn to the sight of Julia Cornwall opening her jumpsuit and reluctantly shaking her stunning tits while a much less reluctant Anya Corazón licked them for a crowd’s amusement. 

As much as Nat admired Kamala’s clear selflessness, she knew for a girl like Kamala that was a ticket to being made someone’s bitch. “Don’t do anything. You’re in prison. There isn’t anything you can do to stop that…” She pointed at Illyana Rasputin suspending Kitty Pryde by her underwear until they snapped over Rogue’s head. Admittedly that was unusual even by Raft standards. 

Kamala went wide eyed at the sight of the Mutant trio, turning back to Natasha with a look of horror. "They have wedgies here? I thought I left those behind after high school." She then sighed, loudly. "So I'm just supposed to let bad things happen because I'm too scared of getting wedgies?" That had never stopped her before... of course, wedgies weren't the worst things the Raft had to offer.

And Natasha said as much. “Yes, because it can be a lot worse than that. You could be pimped out for cigarettes…” She gestured to Black Cat selling out her harem of slaves to horny supervillains (and some superheroes). “...or forced to do that…”  Across the yard Cassie Lang was having to publicly eat Maya Lopez out. “...or shanked like Elektra tried to do to you.”

It was now that Kamala fully realized exactly what kind of situation she was in, and she was horrified. Truth be told, she'd always been a little curious about women, but this was not how she wanted to explore her sexuality! "They're... they're sex slaves? How do the guards let this happen? It's... it's inhumane. It's evil. I can't just sit here and let this happen... maybe you could help me? We could fight them together or something."

“The guards don't care about what happens to anyone here as long as no one ends up dead.” Since her first day in prison Natasha understood that even for the guards who didn’t get off on watching horny inmates having sex (who would possibly enjoy that?), it was a good way of keeping the inmates occupied. 

“I’d help…but it doesn’t work like that. You either have a bitch or you are one.” She seemed a bit callous but it was the truth. 

Kamala bit her lip, staring into Natasha's eyes with her puppy dog ones. "But what if I don't want a... one of those? I don't wanna claim somebody."

“The alternative is being someone else’s and trust me when I say that you don’t want that.” Nat presumed. Once again her experience with her last fan indicated that there were some who sought to be claimed but Kamala didn’t seem the type. 

Kamala shook her head. "I really don't." But like I said... she'd always been curious. "Is there anyone sweet?" She wouldn't dare claim someone without consent, but if she wanted to survive her 30 years safely, maybe finding a girlfriend wouldn't be a terrible idea. That was the same as claiming someone, right?

Natasha felt genuine sympathy for Kamala and so resolved to try to help her in what little way she could. “There are a lot who are sweet. But none who aren’t claimed already. Well, except her…” Nat noticed Gwendolyn Poole entering the yard while talking Laura Kinney’s ear off about a hex that had just been placed on her. 

Kamala felt her stomach tie itself in knots as she turned to Gwen. She'd always been nervous around boys, and the idea of potentially flirting with a girl had her extremely tense, but there was a first time for everything. "Maybe you could introduce us?"

The notion of interacting with Gwen again made Natasha equally tense. The girl was sweet…but definitely weird. “I have a feeling that if you walk up to her she’ll start a conversation for you.”

She took a moment to look at Gwen, imagining talking to her. She did look kind of cu- No. She wasn't ready for that. Not by a long shot. "I'll... keep that in mind. What are some other rules?"

Nat was understanding of that and so moved on. She took a brief glance at Kamala’s jumpsuit-clad body, specifically looking at the girl’s behind. “You’re going to want to keep your butt facing the wall at all times in the shower.” A lot of scared new arrivals tended to turn towards the wall to avoid people staring at their breasts, but in Kamala’s case that would have been a poor decision. 

Kamala blushed hard at that one. Bullies at school had always made fun of her for the size of her rear end, but it seemed it made her a target in a much different way here at the Raft. "My butt?"

“It’s…” Natasha tried to find a way to put it delicately. Prison had taught her to be pretty crass by now so it was difficult to not just say it upfront. “...It will get a lot of unwanted attention.”

Kamala shifted around a bit, trying and failing to hide that massive butt. "Yeah... I get it. I'll keep my back to the wall." She'd already been worried about having to shower with other women around. This just made things worse.

The conversation went on for another twenty minutes in which Natasha relayed as much information as she could in hopes of helping Kamala. From who to avoid, to who really to avoid. Basic tips about prison life and the basics of what is expected of a bitch. It was a lot of information but all of it was pretty vital. In the end it was Natasha who had to depart, called away by some dispute within the Widows that demanded her attention. 

Kamala had since left the yard, mind racing with thoughts as everything Natasha said played on a loop in her brain. She wanted to keep her head down, to just lay low and try not to get claimed by anyone, but then she saw yet another horrific sight.

Illyana Rasputin needed a break from bullying the goth and her upbeat girlfriend…so had now moved on to tormenting Dani and Rahne. The other two had just been her post-mine duty warm up really. “Lockheed doesn’t like that tone.” She said with a faux pout in response to some objection Dani had made while the blonde bully was making Rahne bark like a dog. 

Kamala took a few steps forward, but didn't speak up just yet.

"Lockheed never likes my tone. Neither do you. What a coincidence..." Normally Dani wouldn't be this rebellious, but she was sick of seeing Rahne be treated so harshly.

Illyana, having already forced both of her slaves down to nothing but their underwear, let Rahne go and then gripped the front of Dani’s panties. “I like your new panties…” She pretended to compliment, knowing full well her actions had cost Dani her previous pair. 

Dani tensed up at Illyana's grip, suddenly desperate to avoid a chafed and sore vagina."T-thank you... I think Lockheed likes them too. Maybe I could keep this pair... l-look nice for both of you." She avoided looking Rahne in the eye, not wanting to know what her girlfriend thought of her switch back to submission.

Rahne couldn’t judge her girlfriend for trying to get on Illyana’s good side but she also knew that Illyana wouldn’t fall for that. 

“What’s that?” Illyana asked, raising her hand with the puppet to her ear. “No he says we should see how fast your new pair rip too.”

Dani gasped and tried to run away, though this only served to lodge her panties up her pussy, causing her to wince. "Wait! Y-you can just pull from the back! You don't have to make it a front one!"

“I don’t have to, but I want to.” Illyana smiled as she pulled up, painfully forcing the material to ride up the other woman’s crotch with a searing burn, 

Dani let out a scream, one that sent chills down Kamala's spine. The girl couldn't just stand by and watch. "I'm sorry, Black Widow... Stop hurting her!"

Dani turned to the girl with wide eyes, shaking her head frantically. "You're just gonna make things worse!"

Rahne slouched in despair, knowing that whoever this was simply would make things worse. She’d been hoping they might get through this relatively quickly and then her and her girlfriend could go about their day, but now Illyana was definitely going to be in a day-long bullying mood. 

Without letting Dani go, Illyana turned to see who this obnoxious do-gooder was. “Ow wow look Lockheed, another dork!” She said, amused. Absolutely no one told her what to do. 

Kamala had kind of wished that would be enough to make Illyana let go. Ms. Marvel used to be a relatively intimidating sight for criminals. She then got closer. "Let her go, or... or I'm telling one of the guards."

“Please don’t tell the guards!” Illyana feigned fear, gasping dramatically and then laughing to herself. “They don't give a shit.”

Kamala instantly felt embarrassed by the blonde, who was essentially acting like one of the many bullies she'd dealt with in her life. Bullies she never quite figured out what to do with when she wasn't in costume. Still, she'd been given enough wedgies that she could probably actually give one too, right? "I'm sorry, but you asked for this." She then charged at Illyana like she was charging into battle... only to slip on a suspicious looking liquid and fall flat on her back. "Ow..."

Illyana gave one last tug at Dani’s underwear, yanking them up with all the force she could muster, before she let her initial target go and focused her attention on whoever this new loser was. 

Stepping over Kamala, the bully crossed her arms and looked down at her with mock pity. “Congratulations, that was even more pathetic than I expected.” She snickered. 

Kamala looked up at the terrifying blonde, trying to push herself away, but her wet foot just slid against the floor. "Help! Somebody help me!!!"

That was when, from seemingly out of nowhere, a punch flew and struck Illyana hard across the face. The bully staggered without time to even register what had happened before she was pinned against the wall. “What the fu-” She started but stopped when she was tossed to the ground herself.

Kamala quickly scurried to her feet, watching in shock as a blonde hero took down the blonde bully. "T-thank you for helping me. I really appreciate-"

Who should she see standing tall as her savior but CAPTAIN MARVEL! The hero’s golden hair seemed to sway in the non-existent wind, her jumpsuit fit tight against her muscular body. And a valiantly cold expression on her beautiful face as she turned to face Kamala- wait, was she wearing an eyepatch?

If it wasn’t clear from the dramatics, Carol didn’t actually look all that flawless (though she was doubtlessly gorgeous). Her hair didn’t sway in the wind and she actually looked more pissed off than anything else. But all of those descriptions may as well have been true to Kamala’s fangirl-tinted eyes. 

Kamala stared in wide eyed shock at the amazing woman before her, taking in deep breaths as she tried to keep herself from hyperventilating. "You're... you're... you... you're..." The world around began to fade to wide, Kamala nearly passing out before finally getting the strength to jump up and down screaming- "You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Marvel! You're Captain Maaaaarrrrvvvveeeelllll!!!!!!"  

Carol was made more than a little uncomfortable by the overwhelming level of excitement Kamala had, but tried her best to take it all in stride. She really had no idea how to handle this kind of situation. “Yeah…that’s me. Are you ok?” She asked, referring both to the girl’s excitement and to see if Illyana had caused her any serious harm. 

Kamala tried to calm herself down, recognizing Carol was having a hard time taking in her fangirling, but she just couldn't."I can't believe I was just saved by Captain Marvel! You're like my all-time hero!" She said this last part with a cracking voice, nearly tearing up at the amazingness of this moment.

Illyana just wordlessly grabbed Dani by the front of her panties, and Rahne by the back, and dragged the girls away, hoping Carol wouldn't care enough about them to save the day.

“I am? That’s so cool….” Carol replied, mind genuinely drawing a blank on what to say. She could punch aliens and mutants until she passed out, but dealing with a fan was seemingly impossible. At the moment fighting off the hordes of Annihilus seemed easier. But even she knew her response was weak so added: “So uh…It was no problem saving you.” 

Kamala finally took off her excitement goggles just in time to notice the eyepatch. She gasped loudly, suddenly feeling devastated for her. "What happened to your eye?!"

“An X-Man attacked me in the mines. Don’t worry. She’ll pay.” Carol said as if that was normal. She didn’t know how she was going to make Jean pay, or even what was happening within her own gang at the moment, but Jean would pay dearly. 

Kamala's lip quivered, the girl running towards her and wrapping her up in a tight hug. She didn't know what to say. She just felt sad. Carol froze…but allowed the girl to hug her. It was sweet. Far sweeter than most had been towards her as of late (except for Valkyrie of course). 

Kamala didn't wanna let go, even if she blushed upon realizing her head was buried in the woman's boobs. "I'm sorry... I hope you get everything you want in here."

“I’ll be fine. By the time I’m done with Jean she’ll be lucky if I make her… Nevermind.” Carol started to say something about Jean licking her holes and then promptly realised that probably was a bit excessive to say to her fan. 

Kamala pulled away slightly, looking up at Carol shyly. "It's okay. I understand you're angry. You don't have to say what you're gonna do." She then felt some of her own anxieties about prison returning, and suddenly felt very desperate for a positive conversation. "Can I hang out with you for a while? I have soooo much to ask you!"

“I…” Carol was about to say she had to go. That she was a bit busy looking for Valkyrie. But she paused and decided that could wait just a little longer if it meant making the new girl’s day. “Yeah we can hang out. But let's start over. Hi, I’m Carol…” She extended her hand for Kamala to shake. 

Kamala gasped as Carol reintroduced herself, this time by her first name! She bit her lip to keep from squealing, taking her hand and squeezing way too hard. "I'm Kamala! On the outside, I was Ms. Marvel! I named myself after you! I really hope that's okay. Please don't sue me! I don't wanna go to jail right after getting out of jail." She then laughed nervously, almost frantically. It would be creepy if she wasn't so cute.

“Nice to meet you Kamala.” Carol said as the girl continued to shake her hand for far too long. 

Kamala suddenly realized that, letting go and laughing nervously again. "Sorry! What should we-"

"Khan! Your cell's ready!" Kamala turned to see a guard waving her over, then turned to Carol with a sad look. "Maybe we could meet for dinner?"

“Sure.” Carol had no idea that, in just an hour, she’d be stripped naked and getting ganged up on by Nebula and her lackeys. Her dinner would be a taste of ass and pussy from practically every planet between Luphom and Contraxia. “See you then, Ms. Marvel.”

Kamala gave Carol a wave and a sweet smile, practically skipping off as she followed the guard. She couldn't wait for that dinner.Her thoughts then drifted to that of her future cellmate. She really hoped whoever it was would be nice.

————————————————————— 

The cell door rattled open and the guard shoved Kamala into her room. Kamala let out a little yelp as she was shoved inside so harshly, turning to watch the cell doors close before turning to her new cellmate.

Becky St. Jude, a young woman with ginger hair and a face full of freckles, sat on  the top bunk of the bed, forcing Kamala to look up at her.

Kamala was instantly terrified. She knew this girl. Not only was she one of her biggest bullies in high school, but they'd fought many times during her days as Ms. Marvel. She wasn't sure if Becky knew she was the same hero. "B-Becky?!"

“Kamala Crack?” Becky exclaimed in confusion (but not too confused to avoid using an old cruel nickname she came up with). The last person she expected to see in the harshest women's prison on Earth was the nerd she bullied non-stop for a few years. 

Kamala's face was bright red. She hadn't heard that nickname in a long time. She quickly stepped back, pressing herself against the bars and hiding the view of her large behind, the reason for that nickname. "H-hi... I heard you, uh... became a supervillain."

“Yeah and I was like awesome at it. But then Mid Marvel tossed me in here!” Becky said bitterly. Her incarceration wasn’t a result of her own actions. No, it was because of an obnoxious superhero! 

Kamala knew she had to keep her identity secret, deciding to lie about why she was here. "Well I'm so sorry. I can't believe she would do something like that. I actually got arrested for... protesting... against Ms. Marvel. I kind of became a bad girl after graduation." She wasn't a great liar…

“You? A bad girl? Shut up!” Becky laughed, clearly not buying that. That was actually pretty much the funniest thing she’d heard since landing in prison. “Seriously, what’d you actually do?”

Kamala bit her lip. She'd have to come up with something more realistic... but she could still try and get some sympathy. "I helped Ms. Marvel on one of her adventures... I got caught and she didn't. She abandoned me. She's the reason I'm here too."

“You helped Ms. Marvel?!” Becky asked indignantly, ignoring the second part of that lie. 

Kamala's mouth fell open slightly, disappointed she didn't seem to wanna bond over their "shared" reason for being here. "Y-yeah, but I learned my lesson..."

“So, Crack, how long did you get?” Becky asked, standing up from the bottom bunk and crossing her arms to look more imposing than she was. The intended effect was…limited when most of the other inmates were aliens, assassins, or multi-murderers.

Kamala lowered her head at the repeated use of the nickname. It would seem they weren't gonna become friends. "T-thirty years..." She would be in her early fifties when she finally got out.

“I’ve got like an indefinite stay…so what makes you so special?” Becky jumped straight to jealousy as per usual. This was weirdly similar to High School where anything Kamala said only seemed to make things worse. 

Kamala buried her face in her hands and whimpered. She was done trying to make up stories. "I don't know and I really don't wanna talk about this anymore. Can we grow up and be friends, or do I have to deal with bullies again?"

Becky stopped and thought about her answer for a moment. Weighing out her possible answers. On the one hand they’d be sharing a cell for a while…

“Yeah sure we can be like friends or whatever.” She dropped her jumpsuit and turned around. “But first you’re gonna have to lick my ass, Crack.”

Kamala lowered her hands and let out a heavy sigh of relief..."Oh, that's great. I-" ...then gasped in horror. No amount of weird dreams could prepare her for the reality of being told to eat another woman's ass. "What?! B-but friends don't do that..."

“They do in prison!” Becky said with a wolfish grin, absolutely unable to hide her enjoyment of Kamala’s shock. 

Kamala stayed frozen to the cell bars, gripping them tight with both hands, and clenching her cheeks around one well placed bar. "I... I've never done that before. I've never even sucked..." She trailed off, not really wanting to discuss her sex life with Becky.

Becky didn’t bother to look back as she wiggled her freckled bum and giggled with malice. “I hate prison, but I’ve gotta say that I fit right in with the vibe. I even have my own gang! So you can either do what I want, or I’ll make you eat us all out in the showers. It’s up to you!”

Kamala whimpered at the thought of both, though one was clearly worse than the other. She figured there was no way out, so she slowly removed her hands from the bars, face pale and frozen in discomfort as she made her way closer to the girl's admittedly cute rear. It wouldn't be the worst sight under much different circumstances.

“Enjoy the sight. You’ll be seeing it daily for the next thirty years!” Becky taunted as she waited for her new slave to begin. 

Kamala got down on her knees rather stiffly, like every movement caused her great pain. She then looked up at Becky with sad eyes. "Daily? I have to do this every day?'

“Maybe hourly if I’m bored.” Becky replied as she threw her right arm and shoved Kamala’s face against her sweaty butt. “It gets so hot working in the vibranium mines…”

Kamala squealed, squirming and thrashing and trying to get away. "I don't want my tongue in there! I'll be your footstool! I'll let you give me wedgies! It can be just like in school!"

“Oh but you’re like assuming I didn’t already plan on giving you one when this is done!” Becky was having the time of her life right now. Prison was just like high school, except with a lot more woman on woman action. 

Kamala's face fell. "But..." She then let out a long, dorky whine before finally sticking her tongue in the redhead's hole. She immediately retracted it, gagging at the taste.

“What? Don’t like the taste of my crack, Crack?” Becky rubbed it in. Literally. She started to rub her cheeks against Kamala’s face. 

Kamala let out muffled noises of protest into the woman's cheeks, before finally asking the smart question. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Do I just lick, or something else?"

“Just start licking. Pretend you’re making out with me.” Prior to prison, Becky was always very adamantly straight. But that comment combined with the act argued otherwise. “Who am I kidding though. You probably don’t know how to make out with someone.”

Ouch. That one hurt. "I... I've made out with someone before..." She didn't feel the need to elaborate. It wasn't any of Becky's business. Instead, she got to work licking Becky's business, trying to ignore the taste and just run her tongue along the puckered hole before her.

Becky moaned as she felt the dork’s warm, wet tongue lap back there. Kamala had just started, and already she could feel a dampness gathering between her thighs. Kamala would have been upset if she let herself think about the situation, but she just tried to focus on the task at hand. It actually helped.

“Yeah right there…” Becky gasped, actually surprised Kamala was kind of decent at this. Although, Kamala whined at those words, not liking the way it made her feel, but she kept licking and hoping it would be over soon.

Becky rested her right arm against the bunk bed frame as the build up became more and more unbearable. Then, crying out, she came. Her juices squirted against the tally marks and posters on the cell wall as she staggered in euphoria. 

Kamala was incredibly relieved that the job was done, but had quite the bitter taste on her tongue. "Can... can I wash my mouth?"

“Yeah of course!” Becky smiled as she internally cursed at the mess she’d made in her excitement. “It really sucks that the toilet and sink are connected though…”

Kamala whimpered, knowing exactly what that meant. "No. No, please. Not a swirly..."

But her pleading was useless as Becky, without putting her jumpsuit back on, grabbed Kamala by the hair and dragged her over to the cold metal bowl of the toilet. “It's just like old times!” She laughed. 

Kamala cringed as Becky held on tight to her hair, squirming and looking down at the toilet bowl with disgust. But she also had other things she was worried about too. "H-how much are you gonna control me?"

“How much do you think?” Becky asked as she held Kamala’s head just above the water. At any moment a simple shove would have sent the girl’s face first into the toilet. 

Kamala bit her lip. She really hoped this dynamic didn't interfere with meeting other heroes, and especially talking to Carol often. "A lot of the time?"

“What’s it matter to you?” Becky aggressively asked as she nudged Kamala just a little closer. 

Kamala whimpered yet again as her face got closer to its gross fate. "I... I just wanna have a life here. I want... control over who I talk to. I wanna be friends with Captain Marvel..."

“Yeah right! Like Captain Marvel would ever want to be friends with a total loser like you!” Becky was actually a huge Captain Marvel fan back in high school…but obviously she kind went in the opposite direction of her hero. Even now, housed in the same prison, they’d never met officially. Which was why there was absolutely no way Kamala had on Day 1. 

Kamala tried to remind herself that Becky didn't know what she was talking about. "B-but we said we'd have dinner together. We really did. Please let me have dinner with her!"

“What?!” Becky exclaimed in utter disbelief. “You’re lying! She did not say she wants to have dinner with you !” 

Kamala nodded frantically. "But she did! You can ask her! Just wait until dinner time! You'll see!"

“That’s so unfair! I’ve been here for a year and she chooses to hang out with you of all people?! What the fuck?” Becky was overcome with a jealous rage. Carol was her absolute favourite and Becky simply couldn’t understand why the superhero may not like an entitled brat very much. Furious, she shoved Kamala's face into the toilet and flushed it. 

Kamala screeched as she was dunked, then immediately began to thrash around in fear. She'd forgotten how gross and scary swirlies could be. She tried to pry Becky's hands away from her hair, but she was forced to keep nearly drowning in the prison toilet.

Becky pulled Kamala up, splashing water over the bowl. “Look at it this way, at least you’re not that girl whose cellmate actually drowned her in the toilet...yet.” 

Kamala wasn't sure whether to believe that story or not, but she knew she was terrified as she hacked up toilet water. "W-wait... that actually happened?"

“It like…probably…happened.” Becky replied, unsure herself. Prison was a place full of gossip, and Becky had heard a story just like that. Whether or not it was true she didn’t know.

Kamala started to whine, tears mixing with water as she looked up at her attacker. "I... I could use a towel."

“Well I don’t have one and you are NOT using my blanket. Use your jumpsuit if it bothers you so much.” Becky shrugged, letting go of Kamala’s hair and stepping back to take in the sight. 

Kamala sighed with relief as she was let go, reaching up and wringing some of the water out of her hair. She didn't use anything to dry her head off yet though.

She did have some questions though, going off her belief that all the claimed girls were suddenly made part of their mommy's gang. "So what's my role in the gang? Am I just your slave, or do I have to do criminal stuff?"

“What like smuggle drugs up that bubble butt of yours?” Becky asked, genuinely not having considered what she planned to do with Kamala besides use as a personal punching bag. 

Kamala reached back to clutch her butt, cringing at the thought while also sighing at the comment on its size. "I've never had anything up there other than panties... It's probably too tight."

“Never had anything back there? Yeah, tell me something I don’t know. Getting to first base is new to you.” Becky snarked as she put her jumpsuit back on and took in the sight of her personal slave. Kamala looked so much better now that she was all wet, blushing, and possibly having the worst time of her life. It almost made Becky forget how miserable prison life was. Almost. Because suddenly she looked at the wall and panicked. “Shit!”

Kamala whined again, blushing at Becky's repeated teases. "I've been to first base! I've even had sex before! Stop making fun of me!" She then gasped at Becky's panic. "What is it?"

“Oh um nothing! I just had a great idea is all. See that wall?” Becky gestured to it, juices still slowly dripping over tally marks and the center of a No Doubt poster. A curious choice given the fact that Becky didn’t seem like someone who could name a single ‘90s band… “I-I want you to clean that up. NOW!”

Kamala yelped as Becky shouted, whimpering and whining as she stumbled over to the wall. She was more scared of Becky's shouting than the disgusting act she was being forced to perform. She quickly got to work wiping at the juices with her sleeve, not quite understanding Becky's order.

“With your mouth, idiot.” Becky commanded as politely as ever. 

Kamala looked at Becky, then at the wall, then back at Becky, then back at the wall. "But that... came out of you."

“Duh! You literally just licked my butt but my cum is where you draw the line?” Becky mocked, although the slightest hint of anxiety was in her tone. 

Kamala frowned, not loving the reminder. She'd already started to block that out. "I guess that doesn't make sense..." She then got up to the wall, blushing and cringing before taking a few licks. 

Becky watched with amusement at what she could make Kamala do in prison. Being behind bars felt like a whole new world of bullying had been opened up to her. She’d certainly never have done something like this in High School. “Get the poster. Especially the poster.”

Kamala had those same thoughts, already unable to believe the things her high school bully was now making her do. She continued to cringe and whine with every lick, moving to the poster and trying to clean it up as fast as she could. It took ten minutes, but she finally got it all up. She wouldn't be hungry for that dinner…

Becky breathed in deep, looking at Kamala’s work critically. Any flaw to rip apart Kamala would have worked, but unfortunately the girl was pretty good at licking up her juices. “Nice job, Kamala Crack!” She sarcastically clapped. “You’re gonna do it a lot now that you’re my bitch-” Becky stopped as the cell door opened behind her…

Kamala whined softly, blushing at the nickname, but would then turn to see a woman enter the cell, a woman with an intense yet dignified look on her face. G’iah, a Skrull and the true boss of this cell.

“You’re bitch?” G’iah asked, amused.

Becky spun around and her entire demeanour changed. Gone was the bully who terrorised Kamala. Instead she shook nervously and, as she spoke, her usual dominating aura was replaced with complete submission. “S-She’s our new cellmate. I j-just thought I-I could…claim her.”

Kamala turned to Becky, blushing and growing nervous. If Becky was scared of this woman… "So you're not in charge?"

“In charge? In charge of eating me out maybe.” G’iah threw her arm around Becky’s shoulder in a threateningly tight embrace, giving the bully no room to flee.

Tensing up, Becky quickly objected. “She’s lying! I don’t know what she’s talking about!” 

Kamala really didn't wanna upset Becky, but she knew that this woman was clearly the one in charge, and wasn't about to start off on the wrong foot. "I'm not lying. I would never lie to you. She said she was in charge..."

Becky’s eyes went wide with terror as G’iah gently caressed her freckled cheek, delighted in the fear her obnoxious slave felt. The thought that Becky could ever be in charge of anything in prison was absolutely hilarious. 

Abruptly her other hand slipped down the front of Becky’s underwear and she grasped thick pubic strands of the girl’s considerable red bush and painfully twisted them. “Answer me honestly this time, bitch, did you say you were in charge?”

“Y-Yes! Yes! I’m so so so sorry!” Becky cried out. 

Kamala just watched in horror as this went on, not saying a word. At least Becky knew her before, and could maybe be reasoned with. This woman seemed terrifying!

It was all a bit of a blur but in an instant Becky was laying down on the bottom bunk and G’iah was naked, planting her butt down on her slave’s face and wiggling as she got herself comfortable. Becky could be heard gagging beneath her mistress. “So do you have a name?” She asked a shocked Kamala in a tone dissonant from what she was doing. 

Kamala was on her knees, looking up at G’iah with fear in her eyes. And also a little pity for Becky. Her heart was her greatest strength. Or maybe weakness here… "K-Kamala... Kamala Khan." She wanted to make her last name clear, in case Becky tried to make that nickname stick.

“Welcome to prison, Kamala Khan.” G’iah said warmly as she gently grinded her body against Becky. She could tell from the instant that she saw Kamala that the girl was new to incarceration. 

Kamala bit her lip, shyly squirming in place at the words. "T-thank you. So, uh... are you one of the gang leaders? What exactly am I gonna be doing for you?"

“While I’m flattered that you think I may be a gang leader, unfortunately I am not one. But I do work for one. The Galaxy Gals. As for what you’ll be doing for me, that depends entirely on how you behave. See, you can either be a very good girl for me, your prison mommy, and I’ll only shove my fist up your holes once a day or you can be like Becky here and be a living cushion.” G’iah relayed without any overt malice to her way of claiming someone. She was actually very casual about it. 

Kamala cringed, reaching down and holding her crotch and butt tight. She hated the idea of having an entire fist inside her, but it seemed she would have to get used to it. But she did have a small sliver of hope. "Galaxy Gals. Okay... Is Captain Marvel part of your gang?"

The Skrull found the way Kamala cringed at her words to be completely adorable. New girls really were the best. “She was our leader…but times have changed. I just got back from the gym and last I saw she was getting gangbanged by half the people who used to work for her.” 

Kamala shot to her feet. "What?!" Not only was her hero apparently being turned into just another slave, but if she had arrived earlier, Carol might have been able to free her from a dark fate? "We have to save her! She needs our help!"

G’iah chuckled, understanding Kamala was dead serious yet she was amused nonetheless. “You can try but you should know the same thing will probably happen to you too. Nebula started this whole new gang up on people thing. You looked you like you could barely stomach the idea of me exploring you. Now imagine having that happen while someone facerides you and some other women hump your hands and feet.” She hadn’t partaken in Carol’s fate but she’d definitely been turned on by the sight of it. 

While that did sound terrifying, Kamala couldn't let her hero down. She whipped around and took off running... right into the cell bars, knocking her flat on her back. "Owwww..."

G’iah got off Becky’s face and stepped over to the lain out Kamala, looking at her like she was absolutely the most pathetic convict she’d ever seen. “What was that about helping her?” 

Kamala looked up at G'iah with a shameful expression. "Please. The three of us can save her. We have to..."

“Why do you care so much? Are you another one of her fans?” G’iah asked. 

Kamala nodded shyly. "Her biggest fan. I'd do anything for her."

G’iah crossed her arms and nodded. “I must say that you picked a really shite time to land yourself behind bars. There’s nothing that you can do for her. Unless you’re doing her.”

Kamala blushed, remembering a dream she'd once ha- She forced herself to her feet, still looking up at G'iah, but now with a determined look. "Where is she?"

The Skrull thought about whether or not it was worth the trouble to tell Kamala the answer. Ultimately she decided there was no harm in letting her know what her hero was enduring. “Probably still in the gym. They’re planning to really take their time with her.”

And with that Kamala didn't waste a second, taking off running towards the gym, only she didn't get far. G’iah grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in close, locking her in the same grip she’d given Becky. “I didn’t say you could leave.”

Kamala yanked against G'iah's grip, turning around and looking up at her with desperate eyes. "Let go! I'm gonna save her! Let. GO!" She finally did something she'd surely regret, using a move that had regularly been used on her as Ms. Marvel, and sending a knee right into G'iah's crotch.

The alien’s eyes went wide as she reeled from the pain, this form of attack unconventional even in prison. Her pussy was meant to be licked and lapped at by fearfully devoted Terran slaves, not kneed so hard that her whole body shook. She (thankfully) didn’t scream but she really wanted to. 

“You’re dead! You’re fucking dead!” She yelled, grabbing Kamala by the hair and ripping at it in an attempt to pull the heroine in closer. 

Kamala shrieked as her hair was pulled, stumbling back in an effort not to lose it. "Wait! Wait! Captain Marvel needs me!"

Now it was Becky’s turn to watch as G’iah got rough with Kamala, dragging her back into their cell by her hair and then shoving her against the wall. “Don’t worry. You’ll get loads of time to catch up with her when you’re being sold out together in the yard.” G’iah hissed, womanhood still tingling. 

Kamala grunted and whimpered as she was (wo)manhandled by her prison mommy, immediately concerned by those words. "Sold out?"

“Your body will be sold out to anyone willing to pay in cigarettes.” That actually wasn’t really G’iah’s thing, but she was livid right now and wanted to terrify Kamala. It was the only reasonable way to deal with the pain. 

Kamala felt more terrified hearing that than she had all day, perhaps in her entire life. But there was something underneath the fear, something that Kamala could never lose. Hope. Hope that this wouldn't be her life for long. Hope that she'd take on the system and win. Hope... that she wasn't the only prison bitch willing to fight. 

 

Chapter 35: Caged Lang - Part 5

Summary:

Cassie Lang starts to adjust to her role as prison bitch but a run-in with a certain individual changes everything.

Notes:

I only recently remembered that Amy Bendix doesn’t swear and instead only uses silly replacement words. Oops. From this point forward that will be a part of her characterisation.

Chapter Text

Some time had passed since Cassie Lang first arrived at The Raft and she hadn’t exactly adjusted per se…but she understood her role in the prison hierarchy pretty well now; Maya was her mistress and she was her subservient slave.

When Cassie wasn’t being worked to exhaustion in the mines, she was either licking Maya’s holes or making her prison mommy a sizable amount of cigarettes through a very unconventional new business: cleaning the panties of whoever could pay enough. It had been Maya’s idea after seeing how well Cassie cleaned her pair the first night they’d spent in the same cell. Since then, Cassie had spent a good portion of her day with the underwear of various superhero convict’s in her mouth. She’d become well acquainted with what to expect from different people. To name a few examples, Illyana Rasputin’s always tasted strongly of cum (a taste Cassie had gotten to know well in prison), while the initially-resistant-yet-forced-into-it-by-Jean Wanda Maximoff’s panties were at worst a bit unpleasant. The worst was Yelena’s, whose plump rear left no lack of sweat.

Already Cassie had used the toothbrush she’d been provided in her welcome package, desperate to rid herself of the taste, and gone through two more. Which brings us to her situation now, kneeled under Officer Weaver’s desk.

Cassie lapped away at Weaver's pussy, her payment for a new supply of toothbrushes. She felt like a whore, but this was far from the first time she'd felt that way this week.

She let out a heavy sigh as she pulled away from the pussy before her, looking up at Weaver with an expression of discomfort. "You're... really hard to please. I've been at it for a half an hour..."

Weaver breathed heavily as she rested her legs on her cluttered desk and looked down at her. The brunette dork was cute…but not exactly the best at understanding the dynamic. “A) You’re really bad at this. B) I’ve only cum three times. You’re going to have to do a lot better if you want those toothbrushes”
She chided, before adding: “Oh and that’s another spanking for stopping without being told”

Cassie's jaw dropped in shock at the knowledge she'd be getting another spanking, but she quickly lowered her head to avoid eye contact before returning to her task. She may have hated her role in this prison, but she did at least want to do a good job. If Cassie knew Weaver thought she was cute, it might help a little, but that knowledge hadn't been offered.

As if Weaver heard her thoughts, Cassie got back to the task licking the only trimmed pussy she’d ever had and Weaver said in a rough yet sweet tone: “You’re lucky I find you so cute or the terms of this deal would be very different”

Cassie blushed, pulling her head away again to look up at Weaver. Her boyfriend on the outside had always showered her with compliments, so any sweet words in prison were more than welcome. "You think I'm cute? A-and how different?" She then realized she'd disobeyed again and quickly resumed licking.

“I think you’re adorable. That whole new girl vibe…mmmm…I must have a thing for brunette women named Cassie.” Weaver complimented, resting back in her chair as soft moans escaped her lips. She found it funny that she’d managed to make both Cassie Lang and Cassandra “Cassie” Webb her playthings. It was hard to focus on what exactly she was saying, but she knew making Cassie feel both objectified yet flattered was what she was aiming for.

And it worked too. A strong sense of flattery put some color in Cassie’s face, despite the embarrassment of her new girl vibe being the result of her arrival at prison. She continued to lick and lap away at her temporary mistress' pussy, slightly more energized despite her lack of pleasure and enjoyment.

It didn’t take long for Cassie’s efforts to bring Weaver to a quite loud climax, her legs kicking a few items off her desk in her sudden euphoria. In a half-afterglow crazed haze, she looked down at the woman between her legs and smiled. “...You’re getting better at this.” She said breathily.

Weaver thought for a moment of keeping her threat about spanking Cassie again, but instead only pushed Cassie back and stood with a brief stagger, her generous rear in the poor girl’s face as she rummaged through a drawer on her desk. Just like most of her office, it was a cluttered mess. Various items tossed in with the assurance that she’d eventually organise things later but never actually getting to it. Handcuffs, a vibrator, a flashlight, a surprise she was saving for She-Hulk later. At last she managed to find a clean toothbrush.

Cassie squeaked in discomfort, and looked away with a blush, not wanting to be so close to somebody's butt. Not by choice anyway. Maya had ensured she'd been much closer.

She smiled with relief as the toothbrush was handed to her, reaching up and snatching her reward like a hungry animal.

“So…same time next week?” Weaver asked, knowing that Cassie went through toothbrushes at a record-breaking speed. Cassie simply whimpered, but nodded in agreement. She knew the brush wouldn't last any longer.

—————————————————————

Sitting in the yard, The Stepford Cuckoos each unblinkingly looked at Amy as they gave their next command. "Task two. Betsy Braddock used to dom people for us before she started dating Lorna Dane. Lorna is possessive and thinks any physical contact is cheating. Get Betsy to sit on your face and make sure Lorna sees it." They were really just using these tasks to infuriate their rivals, weren't they…(not that Amy cared). As long as she finally got to Emma Frost she was happy. Plus her next task was to be face-sat, so she could hardly complain. They could probably ask her to do a great many number of things and she’d go along willingly.

“Oh ok cool. Soooo how am I gonna get her to sit on my face? Kinda sounds like she's committed.” Amy asked, drumming her fingers on the table.

The Cuckoos stared in silence, trying to understand if Amy was joking or just stupid. Finally, they realised she was serious. "We don't know. Improvise. This is a trial, not a guided tutorial."

“Sure. I guess I’ll just figure it out on my own or whatever.” Amy sighed, finding the creepy women incredibly unhelpful.

Knowing they’d give her nothing else, Amy once again set off to find the next woman the Cuckoos were targeting. Not finding Betsy in her cell, Amy asked around until her search led her to the prison gym, a sweaty room of hot exercising superheroines and supervillains. Yeah this wasn’t going to be distracting at all.

—————————————————————

As she made her way back to her cell, Cassie found herself hoping more than ever that Maya wouldn't be there, and if she was, that she was in one of her friendly, playful moods. Unfortunately Maya was waiting for her…and judging by her expression she wasn’t in a playful mood. Maybe it was because Vanessa had talked down to her, or maybe there wasn’t a reason at all. Regardless, as soon as she saw her personal punching bag she commanded Cassie to undress.

Cassie was red faced as she stripped down, still shy about showing her body despite her time at the Raft. But hey, at least she'd quickly get a chance to try out her new toothbrush

Maya’s eyes darted right past her naked slave to what she was holding.

She signed, noting Cassie’s new item.

Cassie knew Maya well enough to know she wasn't asking out of genuine curiosity. She suddenly began to fear for the fate of her toothbrush, deciding she'd have to humiliate herself if she wanted a chance at getting her mistress' mind off of it. "A new toothbrush. Weaver gave it to me in exchange for me... eating her out." She cringed as she said those words, but tried to leave out the fact that it was a regular deal just in case, even if Maya had surely noticed the suspiciously clean brushes before.

Maya hopped down from her bunk and approached. Of course she’d noticed the clean brushes before. She hadn’t said anything because it was to her benefit to have a bitch with pleasant smelling breath. But today she was in a very different mood and she couldn't stand to see Cassie doing anything without her permission – even if with a guard.

Cassie let out a little whimper, placing the toothbrush behind her back in a poor attempt to hide it. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I was selfish and didn't think about it. I can go convince her to get me another one..." Eating Weaver out again at least sounded better than losing her new toothbrush

Maya cruelly replied. She was usually blunt…but even for her it was abnormally harsh. She shoved Cassie against the bars, giving the women in the cell across a view of her bare butt pressed against the cold vibranium rods. While their attention was grabbed, Maya extended her hand out, demanding her slave hand over the toothbrush.

 

Cassie's fear turned into legitimate disappointment at that. They'd had their friendly moments, and Cassie did come to see her as a friend in a strange sorta way, so this legitimately stung. As did the painful shove against the bars, shivering at the cold feeling of the bars. She let out a sad whine, then surrendered her precious toothbrush to her prison mommy.

Maya had taught her a bit of sign language during their time together, that particular phrase only added to Cassie's vocabulary as a post-anal stuffing favor.

Maya was somewhat charmed to see Cassie using what she’d taught her…but not enough to lighten her mood. She wouldn’t feel better until she’d made the poor girl suffer.

She took the toothbrush and looked at it, sickened by her cellmate’s complete lack of consideration. In her mind, she did so much to protect Cassie but her slave did absolutely nothing to express gratitude. She smirked as she ran her finger along the sharp bristles. She had an idea.

Cassie looked down at the ground and did as she was told, spreading her legs and giving Maya quite the sight. The prisoners across from them didn't go hungry either, getting to watch Cassie's small but cute buttocks give a little jiggle. "Can we have game night tonight if I behave?"

Maya didn’t respond to the plea as she aggressively pushed the toothbrush up Cassie’s pussy and quickly began to brush inside her, wondering whether the bristles would tickle or hurt. Optimally they’d do both. Although she couldn’t hear it, the women across were currently jeering at Cassie’s torment.

Cassie let out a squeak as the brush touched her pussy, tickling it first before Maya's shoving caused an immense amount of pain. "Gah! Please! Stop! I'll get you one! I promise!" Thanks to the bristles (which in fact did both tickle and cause pain), this new treatment felt worse than Maya's fingers at their roughest.

The brush pushed in and out, rubbing in hasty circular motions that thankfully didn’t cause any serious harm (despite feeling like it did). It scrubbed away at every crevice of Cassie’s crotch, practically scratching at her clit like sandpaper. Maya didn’t even really look like she was enjoying herself though. She was completely expressionless to the torment she usually loved.

After a minute of screaming and squirming, desperate for the pain to stop, Cassie suddenly notice that blank look on Maya's face. In too much pain to sign, as if Maya would ever care to teach her these words, she looked her in the eyes and mouthed 'are you okay?'

Maya stopped for a minute, thinking it over. She didn’t want to talk about it – and certainly not to Cassie – but it was the anniversary of her sentencing and subsequent arrival at The Raft. The fact that she was going to die in prison stung on this day more than any other…although her starting to brush Cassie’s pussy again with even more force hardly helped her seem reformed.

Cassie screamed again, shutting her eyes and giving up on that particular method of escaping punishment. After a few more moments, she decided to just take it, blushing as she listened to the other prisoners mock her for her plight.

Maya eventually got bored of watching Cassie’s miserable facial expressions. It all felt so…empty. Pointless. It wasn’t any fun if she couldn’t enjoy it so she stopped and took the toothbrush out.

She said, concluding by shoving the brush into Cassie’s mouth. At least for once it tasted of her own womanhood and not someone else's…

Cassie honestly didn't know which one was worse, yanking the toothbrush out and gagging at the taste of... herself or looking down at her now defiled brush, thinking back to what she'd done to get it and sighing as she realized it was for nothing. She looked up at Maya, a lot of emotions stirring inside her as she began to sign.

Maya irritably questioned back, still in a terrible mood.

Cassie's face fell, her precious method of escaping reality seemingly denied for the day. So she lowered her head and shyly walked away, placing her formerly clean toothbrush on the sink and slumping down on her bed. The girl did let some of her bratty side show for a moment though, shooting Maya a (rather justified) glare before staring down at the floor.

—————————————————————

“Betsy Braddock?” Amy asked aloud, not knowing what exactly she would look like. It was unfortunately hard to hear much over the sounds of weights being lifted. Her eyes wandered over to the sight of the hot dewy She-Hulk lifting, muscular green arms flexed, before Amy managed to pull herself back to her search.

Betsy, aka Psylocke, was currently one of those lifting weights, wearing the standard prison jumpsuit which she'd turned into an orange version of her iconic leotard costume. The outfit clung tightly to her curvy and fit sweat-drenched body, leaving nothing of her form to the imagination as she worked out. Her dark purple hair and warm, sun-kissed skin contrasted beautifully with the neon orange outfit she wore.

On a bench beside her, Lorna Dane (known better by the name she’d chosen for herself, Polaris) was watching. Pale skinned with emerald eyes that shimmered, her brilliantly green hair cascaded down her shoulders. With a wide smile, she imagined Betsy pushing her around the cell they shared. She wasn't her slave. She was her devoted subby girlfriend, and loved how- She frowned as she heard her girlfriend's name being called, turning and glaring at the girl who definitely wasn't a mutant. Oh yeah. She was also a huge mutant supremacist! "Hey, Neanderthal! Say my girlfriend's name again and the next girl on mop duty is gonna be wiping you off the floor."

Amy looked at Betsy and then at Lorna with a confused expression. Did she really just call her “Neanderthal?” That was definitely one of the weirder things she’d been called since arriving at The Raft. “What’s your problem?” Amy asked, probably too boldly given who she was dealing with. This wasn’t just any mutant threatening her. This was the fucking daughter of Magneto.

Lorna hopped off her seat and stormed over to Amy, Betsy sitting up and watching the situation with concern. She wasn't as extreme as her girlfriend, not particularly liking humans but not getting angry without cause, so she was a little worried about what Lorna would do. "My problem is that I don't want some Homo sapien talking to or about my Betsy."

“Ok…” Amy replied in an obnoxious tone. Without thinking, her eyes once again wandered past Lorna over to Betsy, taking in the sight of how the custom leotard clung to the dewy purple-haired woman. The outfit was almost form fitting.

Betsy blushed as she realised what Amy was staring at, honestly a little flattered. Unfortunately, Lorna turned back just in time to see her girlfriend's reaction, then back at Amy with a furious gasp. "Are you fucking kidding me right now?!" She then gave Amy a shove to the ground, Betsy running over and taking her girlfriend's hand.

"Hey, stop! She didn't do anything!" Betsy insisted as Amy stumbled to the ground and looked up, quickly taking in that this wasn’t something she should have taken so lightly.

“L-Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you, ok?” Amy stammered as she tried to get back up. She stumbled once more as soon as she rose.

Lorna was still clearly angry, but her stronger and suddenly pretty stern girlfriend pulled her close and looked into her eyes. "Relax." She wasn't suggesting it. She was ordering. Lorna blushed and lowered her head. The only thing stronger than her hatred for humans was her submissive nature with Betsy. "Just... get her out of here..."

Once again, Amy should have just left. Or at the very least keep her mouth shut. But she just couldn’t help herself. Rising to her feet, she asserted: “Sorry. Can't do that. I need your girlfriend to sit on my face” Her stand-offish attitude combined with poorly describing the situation certainly didn’t help calm the conflict.

Lorna whipped around, shooting Amy the glare to end all glares while Betsy looked disgusted. "Are you-"

Betsy elbowed her shouting girlfriend in the ribs to quiet her down. "Get out, freak. The only face I sit on is hers."

“That’s a bit harsh! Look, these weird creepy sisters told me I get to meet Emma Frost if I do three tasks for them. One of those tasks is you sitting on my face. Can you please do this for me?” Amy pleaded, sounding no less like a freak.

Betsy and Lorna stared at her with uncomfortable expressions, both women piecing together what was going on here. Lorna may be a sub, but she wasn't a masochist. "You are so weird. No way you're making my girlfriend sit on your face!"

Betsy sighed, shooting Lorna an annoyed look. "I can speak for myself, babe. Calm down or maybe I will sit on her." That shut Lorna up... for now.

“Please” Amy hated to repeat. “I’ll do whatever you both want if you just do this one thing for me”

Lorna didn't speak. She just waited for Betsy to throw this girl in a trashcan… "I want my job back, but I'm not doing anything sexual. I'm committed to Polaris now, though I need my benefits back. Promise you'll get the Cuckoos to convince Emma for me, and I'll sit on your face just this once."

Lorna turned to her in a rage, opening her mouth to protest before a glare made her lower her head again. “Deal!” Amy exclaimed, a bit disappointed that it was such a boring request, before stepping a little further from Lorna out of fear of being strangled to death.

Betsy smiled while Lorna crossed her arms and started to pout. Betsy gave her a swat of the rear..."Relax. This isn't cheating, and it's just once. Get over it." She then gestured for Amy to get on the ground.

Assuming the position in the middle of the gym floor where all were watching, Amy chose to press her luck by making up a stipulation. “I should also probably tell you that they said you have to ride my face hard. Like really straddle me with your butt…like a cowgirl” Lorna wasn’t entirely wrong, Amy was an actual freak.

Betsy blushed. Okay, this definitely felt like it was entering cheating territory now, but didn't mention that for obvious reasons. She sighed, then sat herself down on Amy's face and began riding her. Betsy's blush grew while Lorna just watched with a sick feeling in her stomach.

Amy, for her part, was having the time of her life as Betsy rode her face. She couldn’t help but note how the leotard seemed to ride up Betsy in a different manner, clinging closer and closer the more the mutant writhed her hips until it gave her quite an awful cameltoe. Lost in the moment, Amy stuck her tongue out and briefly licked the dominant inmate.

Betsy gasped and her eyes went wide, looking over to make sure Lorna hadn't seen. It was immediately obvious her girlfriend was too busy staring at the cameltoe to pay any real attention to what was happening around it...so Betsy gave Amy's hand a gentle squeeze, hoping she would do that some more.

Amy, an obedient slave, understood Betsy’s subtle encouragement and readily did it again. Mouth being ridden, she pushed her tongue out and pressed its wet tip against Betsy’s barely-covered puffy pussy lips, prominent beneath the mutant’s sweaty orange leotard. What started as a gentle lick then grew to dutiful lapping.

Betsy bit her lip to keep from moaning, trying to look natural so Lorna didn't catch on. Once she felt Amy pick up speed however, she shut her eyes and let out a soft noise of approval. Lorna's jaw dropped… "Hey!" ...only to be silenced once more by a glare from Betsy. Amy had definitely created a very intense argument for the couple later, or a really intense session on their bed. She didn’t much care either way as long as she got what she wanted,

Amy heard Polaris’ objection and chose to rub it in (pun intended) by letting out a muffled moan beneath Betsy’s grinding body. There was something entertaining about not just the act, but knowing how much it must have made the green-haired mutant’s blood boil. Her tongue was sore from keeping up the perfect pace, but she didn’t care.

Lorna huffed, crossed her arms in frustration, and bit her lip to keep it from quivering in humiliation while Betsy kept on riding Amy's face, getting closer and closer until she finally released on the girl's face.

Amy eagerly lapped up Betsy’s cum, cleaning the now very wet crotch of her leotard with her tongue. The horny criminal even went so far as to lick her lips. The taste wasn’t great, but that only made it all the better for Amy.

Betsy sighed happily as she was cleaned, then got up, gave the girl a wink, and walked over to Lorna. She wrapped an arm around her blushing, upset girlfriend, though Lorna responded with a huff. It was fine. They could make up later.

Amy gleefully got up, fluttering with enthusiasm at what transpired. “I’ll make sure to get you your job back. And if you ever want someone to wash you both in the showers I could always help…” She optimistically offered to the couple.

Betsy smiled while Lorna growled: "Absolutely n-" Betsy gave the green haired woman a hard smack to the rear, then gave Amy a smile. "I'll think about it."

—————————————————————

It wasn’t long after Maya passed out that Cassie noticed someone gently tapping at the bars in an effort to get her attention – Amy Bendix. She had her problems with Amy, but right now she was just happy to see a familiar and mostly friendly face. She ran to the bars, a big smile on her face as she waved. "Hi!"

“Hey.” Amy greeted, too cool to reciprocate the same level of enthusiasm to see her not-friend. She was rarely around…which honestly may have been for the best. But Cassie forgot all about how uncomfortable Amy made her. She figured not everyone could be Kate Bishop. “Wanna hang out?”

Cassie's smile only grew, ignoring how clearly unenthusiastic she was to see her. "Yes! That sounds really nice. I'll do anything!"

“Wait really? Anything?” Amy bit her lip and swayed slightly.

Cassie blushed, taking a step back. "Well not anything. Something fun... for both of us." She laughed nervously, embarrassed by the misunderstanding.

“Yeah…sure.” Amy said with a pout. She really should have expected that answer since Cassie was…probably…straight but her mind was chronically dirty.

Cassie happily followed Amy to the cafeteria, ignoring the pain in her pussy and taste in her mouth. Food would help distract from both, especially that taste, even if the prison food wasn't exactly great.

As per usual, Wanda was the one who served them their dinner. She looked unmistakably more unhinged than usual. Her eyes almost unblinking in their intense stare. She’d been on a warpath across the prison against people who annoyed her so Amy mostly did her best to ignore her.

Cassie followed her lead, sitting down with Amy and feeling quite eager to have a nice conversation for once. "So... have you made many friends?" Either Amy had and was happy, or she hadn't and valued Cassie more. As far as Cassie was concerned, the question was a win/win.

“Not really. But who needs friends in prison?” Amy asked moodily. In truth, she considered Cassie her friend but she definitely would never say that out loud. “What about you?”

Cassie was taken aback by that answer, and was very unsure how to respond. She wasn't ashamed to call Amy or Kate Bishop a friend, but she also considered Maya a friend, so… "Um... I... two or three."

“I’m one of those, right?” Amy asked, a threat to her tone. She wouldn’t have done anything, but she knew that Cassie was pretty jumpy.

Cassie, who had finally stopped thinking about Maya's actions, began to panic as her oldest friend suddenly seemed mad. "Of course! Of course! One of my best friends in here..."

Amy’s expression tensed, making her look like she was growing more upset when really she was just trying to hold back laughter. “One of?”

Cassie choked out a whimper, followed by a long and slow whimper. "Okay, you're my best friend here. I spend more time with Maya, but I've known you the longest, so it works."

On cue, Amy suddenly burst into a fit of mean-spirited laughter at Lang's expense. “How do you fall for the scary prison lesbian act every single time?” She mocked. She really would have fit in perfect as a dom if she didn’t have a heavy preference towards the opposite.

Cassie looked down at the table, rather ashamed she'd fallen for the trick yet again."I guess it's because all the time people aren't joking..." Just a week prior, Elektra had asked if they were friends, and when Cassie dared question the idea of a woman she'd never really spoken to being her friend, she wound up having to eat the woman's ass as punishment.

A fact that, if Amy had known, she’d have been incredibly jealous of. Thankfully, she didn’t and so she moved on without addressing how she may have hurt Cassie in any way. “Oh so guess what happened to me today.”

Cassie sighed as the subject was so casually changed, but put on a smile to seem interested. "What?"

“Psylocke facesat me in the gym.” Amy bragged. Admittedly she still didn’t know who Psylocke was, but the fact that she’d gone there with someone that wasn’t one of the Cuckoos was pretty exciting.

Cassie was instantly horrified by this information... but knew Amy was probably overjoyed. "Oh... I'm so... I'm so happy for you." It felt gross to say, but she didn't wanna upset Amy

“I could literally taste her buttsweat because she’d just been working out…” Amy completely overshared.

Cassie nodded shyly. "Maya did that to me once. I can see how... how..." That's when she gave up, shaking her head and looking disgusted. "Actually, I don't get it. How you find any of this remotely... pleasurable. It's not fair that you want all this to happen to you, and yet I'm the only one who got claimed and turned into a sex slave!"

“I feel the same way.” Amy said with a small bit of sympathy. “I’d switch places with you if I could, but that’s not really how this works. Does it make you feel better that soon we’ll both have to do this stuff?”

Cassie wanted to say yes, she knew Amy wanted her to say yes, but she absolutely didn't agree. "No... No, it makes me feel incredibly sad."

“Maybe you shouldn’t have gotten yourself thrown in prison if you didn’t want to end up someone’s bitch. Did you look at yourself in the mirror before doing whatever you did?” Cassie had told Amy the reason she was in prison (Caged Lang - Chapter 1), but Amy had deleted any memory of what it was almost instantly.

Cassie's jaw dropped, staring at her and debating whether she should back down or stand up for herself. For once, she chose the latter. "I was saving people that needed me! I was a superhero! I helped people! You think I deserve this for being a good person?!" Cassie could definitely be a little preachy, but there was no denying she had a point.

“So what, you're better than me?” Immediately Amy jumped to the defensive as she felt inadequate in comparison. Her life hadn’t been easy and so she often justified the bad things she’d had to do to survive. But deep down she hated herself and being reminded that there were actually good people out there dredged up more than a little trauma.

Cassie's lip quivered. She didn't want to ruin her relationship with her friend, but she was tired of feeling awful every time they ended their conversations. “Maybe I am."

Her not-friend’s response stabbed at her unlike anything else had in awhile. She’d never felt so insulted. So betrayed. Behind her usual horny mean-spirited demeanor she was just a damaged person who felt lonely and neglected by the world. “Screw you!” Amy shouted as she slammed the table and stood up, debating storming off or hitting Cassie. She was seeing red.

Cassie gasped and leaned back as far as she could, legitimately worried about what Amy would do. "I'm sorry... I want to be your friend, but you really don't seem to care about me. Even Maya plays games with me sometimes." Again with the games. They really were her biggest source of comfort.

“Piss off with wanting to be my friend. You said you’re too good for me.” Amy bitterly said with a sarcastic malice. “Well you know what? Good. You’re a waste of my time. I only hung out with you out of sympathy but that won’t be a problem anymore.” That wasn’t true but she lacked a filter when she was mad.

Despite getting better about defending herself, the reality of losing one of her only friends hit Cassie hard. "Wait... Wait, I think I'm just tired. I'm not thinking straight. I'm sorry. I take it back. I'm not too good for you. I need you." This time, Cassie really was prepared to do anything for Amy.

But, too hurt to notice, Amy didn’t have any suggestive remarks this time. She genuinely was hurt enough to cry…but crying was showing weakness and so she did the incredibly (not) healthy thing of trying to push it down. “Yeah well I don’t need you.” Were the painful parting words she said as she left.

Cassie was silent as she watched her walk away, but once she was out of sight, she felt tears begin to stream down her face. The girl was now down to about two friends, but she didn't wanna see either of them right now. She just wanted to be alone, so knowing the cafeteria wasn't likely to be empty for long, she made the grave mistake of going into the kitchen for some quiet.

Wanda was finished serving dinner by now and, in true mom that is in a bad mood fashion, had since turned to furiously scrubbing away at any surface she could find. She stood hunched over, looking ragged as her arms ached as the sponge in her grasp relentlessly scraped non-existent dirt off the stovetop. The mop behind her rattled as it cleaned the floors by itself, and dirty dishes were currently being run under the sink. Her usual ‘50s music wasn’t even playing as she did all this. In a mental fury, she hardly seemed to notice Cassie entering.

But Cassie immediately took note of how angry Wanda looked. She squealed nervously before stumbling back into some pots and pans, knocking them to the ground along with herself. "Sorry! Sorry, I'll clean these up!"

Like something out of a horror movie, Wanda stopped and then very slowly turned to face the clumsy intruder. The expression upon her tired face was practically blank, but her eyes already glew with scarlet chaos. She tilted her head at the sight of the young brunette. “What are you doing in my kitchen?” She asked in a distant tone that was so calm it was unsettling.

Cassie was frozen in place, unable to speak for a moment before stumbling to her feet and beginning to clean up. "I-I'm sorry. It's been a bad day. I needed a place to be alone."

“And so you thought you could come here?” Wanda questioned, taking a single step closer…

Cassie's eyes widened. "I did... but I see that was a mistake. I'll be going now." She let out a nervous laugh before running to the exit, pots and pans still on the floor.

The witch didn’t see the way in which she clearly terrified the girl. Instead she only observed that a spoiled little brat had come into her safeplace, made a mess, and then tried to flee. An offense like that had to be dealt with.

Although Cassie tried to run she didn’t seem to move forward. Every step she took simply moved her back closer to Wanda. “Why are you here?” She questioned again, expecting Cassie to have done this as some intentional slight against her.

Cassie began to panic as she realized she was essentially frozen in her spot, the running in place only adding to her helplessness. "I told you I just needed to be alone! Clearly I can't here, so I'll just go find someplace else! Please let me go! Please!"

“I. Don’t. Believe. You.” Wanda’s calm tone started to falter as she mystically dragged Cassie closer.

Cassie started to cry now, unable to believe that her day was about to get worse, and all for something she hadn't even done. At least she was in prison for doing exactly what she was convicted of, even if that thing did not make her worthy of jail time.

She was dragged into the witch’s grasp, powerless as Wanda’s fingers gripped her face so tightly it hurt. If Cassie couldn’t tell the truth Wanda would simply have to make her. She was deaf to her tears, and oblivious to the fact that she’d met her before prison and should have known Cassie wasn’t the type to try to hurt her.

Cassie cried out in fear as her face was grabbed, squirming and failing to escape her grasp. Wanda clearly didn't believe the truth... maybe a lie would get her better treatment? It was terrible logic, but she was desperate."F-fine! I didn't like the food! I'm sorry, I should have just told you instead of messing up your kitchen like that. I'm really sorry..." She felt like she'd apologized far too much today.

There were a great number of possibilities Cassie could have used as a lie that would have backfired…but insulting Wanda’s cooking was definitely in the top ten of stupidest to use. The witch put a lot of work into trying to make sure the food was as tolerable as she could make it. Yet she constantly had to hear ungrateful prisoners complain about it.

“You have no idea what sorry is…yet. But you will.” Wanda threw Cassie back and, with a flick of her wrist and a simple hand gesture, she placed a hex upon her intruder. But she didn’t stop to explain. Instead she summoned some leftover slop from the fridge.

Cassie looked down and searched for any possible humiliating thing that Wanda could have done, before looking up at the food. "What... what's all that for?"

Wanda slammed a tray of the dish in front of Cassie and then stared daggers at her. “Eat.” She ordered with malice.

Cassie shook her head nervously, looking up at Wanda with a fearful yet defiant look. "Tell me what you did to it first!"

“You’ll eat it or I’ll hold your mouth open and shove it in.” Wanda scolded. Despite her absolute insane aura, there was something oddly…parental about it.

That sparked something in Cassie, not stifling her fear, but making her almost want to obey Wanda. Maybe she missed her mom and mother figures. So she ate the first piece of food, immediately gagging at the taste of soap of all things.

Wanda didn’t seem to take any amusement from seeing Cassie’s intense reaction. Rather she only stared daggers at her victim, her silence commanding the girl to take another bite. She had no intention to let Cassie leave the room until she’d finished every last bite of the meal.

Cassie forced herself to eat, not wanting to disobey Wanda, but hating every second of the disgusting taste in her mouth.

At last she was done, and she looked at the stern woman with the strangest look. She enjoyed the familiarity the stern motherly attitude provided, even if it went far beyond anything her mother and Hope had ever displayed. "I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?" She'd made Maya mad. She'd made Amy mad. She really wanted someone to be... not mad.

If Wanda had been feeling like herself she would have nodded and let Cassie go on her way…but she wasn’t at all like how she normally was. “I’ll tell you when you’re forgiven.” With a simple spell, she gave Cassie a harsh spank to her rear with all the nasty sting of a perforated paddle.

Cassie yelped at the spank, reaching back to rub her butt, though she did take comfort in the fact that she had a chance at earning the witch's forgiveness. "Y-yes, ma'am..."

For a moment it felt as if Wanda leaned in close to Cassie, the witch’s hot breath on her ear despite the fact that Wanda was still sitting across the room. Then Wanda whispered:

“I’m going to do three things. One, I’m going to pull your pretty white panties up until you won’t be able to have kids anymore…if you weren’t in a women’s prison of course. Two, I’m going to shove something up your butt until it doesn’t go any further and then I’m going to shove it a little further. Three, I think you need a physical reminder of what happens when you come into my kitchen…You get to pick what we start with”

Cassie choked out a gasp of horror, turning to Wanda and trying to comprehend that these terrible things were gonna happen to her simply for trying to be alone. "N-no, wait..." That's when she realized she had an ace up her sleeve, even if she felt ashamed as she spoke. "Maya owns me. I'm... hers. She won't be happy when she finds out you're claiming her slave..."

“Maya doesn’t own you anymore. You belong to me now, Cassie. If she tries to take you back…” Wanda spun a knife in the air for a moment before its blade slammed down on the counter.

Cassie went pale and it seemed like everything froze for a moment. Maya was cruel, but Wanda seemed absolutely insane. "W-what? But..." She began to try to think her way out of this, but really didn't have much of an argument. "Wait! I lied! Please! I did like your food! You just wouldn't believe the truth about why I was in here!"

Wanda furrowed her brow, unconvinced by the attempt. Every time Cassie lied she was only making this worse for herself. “And why were you really here then?” She asked sarcastically.

Cassie blushed, realizing Wanda expected a new story, not the truth truth. That would still be unbelievable. "Um... to praise your cooking skills?" Not even she believed that.

The witch could have gone through the cycle again of forcing Cassie to eat a second serving…but she was past simply making Cassie endure the soap hex. That lie was the final straw. “All you do is lie. But we’ll fix that.” She forced the girl on to her knees. “I gave you three punishments to pick from. Pick one”

Cassie squeaked as she was dropped to her knees. She began racking her brain, trying to figure out which of these horrible things she would be enduring first. "T-The first one..."

In an instant, Cassie’s jumpsuit mystically came open and slipped off her tight body. Then Wanda stood up and approached her victim, firmly believing that everything she was doing to her was completely deserved. “Remember, through the pain, that you did this to yourself.” Cassie’s prison panties slowly began to ride up her front, slipping between the girl’s pussy lips in preface to what would seemingly soon follow.

But then Cassie’s panties dropped and, instead of the uncomfortable rise of her underwear, she felt something long, a cucumber, shove it’s way up her rectum with far too much force. In an instant it expanded the girl’s hole as it pushed as far as it possibly could.

Cassie shrieked as the cucumber was shoved inside her, seriously worrying about the state her asshole would be in after this. "Ah! Gah! You said I could pick! Why?!"

“You’re not the only one who can lie.” Wanda cruelly replied as she forced the cucumber to leave and then violently plunge back in, rapidly beginning to enter and exit in painful succession. Cassie grunted as it was forced out, then groaned as it went back in. She began to yelp, shriek, and whine as the torture worsened, unable to do anything to stop it.

Wanda smirked at the supreme pain Cassie was in, it proving to be one of the very few moments in recent years that she was in power. It kept going, only managing to not cause serious damage because this is a kink story.

By the time it stopped Cassie was left a sobbing, aching mess. She certainly wouldn’t be sitting anytime soon. But Wanda was far from done. Cassie was holding onto her sore rear, shutting her eyes and whining softly on the floor. "I think... you broke my butthole." Again, no serious damage. This is a kink story.

“That’s what happens to lying brats who make a mess in my kitchen.” Wanda replied like this was a rational way of dealing with something so small. Besides, Jean had done something similar to her when she first arrived in The Raft.

Cassie looked up at her, unsure whether to respond in a submissive way or a bratty one. "You're... a horrible person. I used to think you were a cool superhero..." She chose bratty.

That was a very bad decision. Wanda was doubtlessly a tormented woman, but one who’d once been a hero. Her life had never been easy, but those brief few years as an Avenger were the greatest of her life. It was the first time she’d ever felt like she had a purpose. And then it all fell apart…and it was her fault. The accident in Lagos – her reaction to Crossbones’ immolation that came just a little too slow – was the final straw that brought about the Sokovia Accords after all. Ever since, the world, and her mental state, had been on a rapid decline. Then she came to prison and she was demeaned by Jean constantly and assaulted by Emma Frost. Suffice to say, Cassie calling her horrible struck a nerve.

“Horrible? HORRIBLE?!” She shrieked, looking completely deranged as she practically lunged at Cassie.

Cassie screamed at the top of her lungs, stumbling onto her back and beginning to crawl away despite her sore butt. "I take it back! You're awesome! You're amazing! I'm sorry!"

“You don’t know how horrible I can be.” Wanda’s Sokovian accent was particularly thick now that she was absolutely seething. She didn’t even know what could possibly calm her down at this moment as she pulled Cassie up and shoved her against the wall.

Cassie shut her eyes and turned away, the reality of the fact she'd just royally pissed off her new owner hitting her like a cucumber. "M-maybe you can show me how good you can be. So I can... learn. Maya... was nice to me sometimes..."

“Why should I allow you any mercy after what you did?” Wanda asked, still mentally set that Cassie was the one at fault for all this.

Cassie opened her eyes again, locking them with Wanda's. "Because... all I want is a friend. Y-you can be that friend. I'd be happy to be your friend."

“You should have thought of that before you came here to annoy me.” Wanda put her hand around Cassie’s throat.

Cassie let out a strained whimper, grabbing at the hand and trying to pry it away. "I didn't!!!"

Wanda had become pretty frail from a mix of prison conditions and her own depression, so Cassie actually was able to move her new owner’s hand pretty easily. But that didn’t stop the fact that Wanda was still completely deranged. “STOP LYING!!!” The witch screamed in her face. She really wasn’t catching on.

The scream was enough to scare Cassie into letting go, instead she just lowered her head, accepting her situation. "Are you gonna be... the same as Maya?"

“I was an Avenger. I won’t do anything to you that you don’t deserve.” Wanda’s response was uncomfortably open to interpretation.

Cassie squirmed in response... hoping that meant things wouldn't get worse. "O-okay..."

Wanda stepped away from Cassie, returning to her place in the center of the kitchen. And then, with a wave of her hand, her jumpsuit opened itself and she stood uncharacteristically confident in her now completely exposed body. She’d always been rather shy, shifting uncomfortably in the public showers when others crudely assessed her but she didn’t feel that way anymore. Now there were those who feared seeing the naked Scarlet Witch.

There was a wordless expectation for what her new slave must do and the consequences she would suffer should she refuse.

Cassie dropped to her knees and whimpered, knowing the drill by now. But as her mouth approached the witch's pussy, Wanda's new slave would look up at her owner shyly. "Weaver has been letting me eat her out in exchange for clean toothbrushes. I can still... do that, right?"

“I’ll decide based on how well you do this. Now lick.” Wanda then pushed Cassie face first into her untrimmed fiery red knotted nest of a bush with a gentle moan. Her fingers tapped the back of Cassie’s head as she waited to see how the girl would react

Cassie immediately began to sloppily lick at the witch's vagina, eager to get her off fast rather than successfully. It was how she always did this, until inevitably scolded. Cassie had learned a lot about prison life... just not how to give good head.

But Wanda in her current mentally deranged state was a little above scolding. Truthfully, she’d only had someone go down on her a few times. It was a rare act only done if Jean was in a particularly generous mood after all. But she knew this was completely wrong.

The witch looked down in disappointment at Cassie…and then gave the girl’s rear the harsh spank of an invisible paddle. Cassie yelped at the smack, still sore from the earlier smacks, the cucumber, and Weaver's spanking. Unfortunately, she decided to overcompensate, licking at a much slower rate. Too slow. Still just as sloppy.

“Do you want me to put a hex on you that makes you constantly feel like you’re being penetrated?” Wanda asked as she received even less satisfaction from Cassie’s unskilled tongue.

Cassie looked up at her with fear filled eyes before doing everything she could to possibly provide Wanda with a better experience. It wound up marginally better.

Wanda shut her eyes and held her new bitch’s head in place as she thrusted her hairy womanhood against Cassie’s lips, using what she could to stimulate herself. Although the girl lapped and licked with all the limited enthusiasm she could muster, Wanda’s intense grinding against her face is what brought her to an incredibly weak orgasm. She’d been in Cassie’s place once. The new girl who couldn't eat a woman out to save her life. But being mentally abused by The Phoenix was a strong incentive to improve and it appeared she’d simply have to do the same to Cassie. No matter how much pain it caused..

Chapter 36: The Phoenix owns this ass

Chapter Text

It wasn't fair. Wanda hadn't done anything wrong. Well, not this Wanda, but that was the whole point. She hadn’t been  in control of her actions, but the loved ones of the fallen Illuminati didn't care. They just wanted revenge.

So 838 Wanda found herself sentenced to pay for the crimes that the other Wanda had committed in her body, starting with being gagged with a dirty pair of Medusa's panties. She found it a fitting punishment considering what the witch had done to her husband, and Wanda was at least happy to not have her brain exploded.

That didn't mean the panties didn't taste awful however. Apparently Medusa hadn't washed them in two weeks, the entirety of the Inhuman's mourning period.

The underwear were only removed when it was time for her next punishment, so they could hear her protests of pain as Monica Rambeau sat on her breasts with that massive butt of hers, simulating the crushing death her mother went through at "Wanda's" hands.

The next punishment was infinitely worse. Tears streamed down her face as Sue Storm shoved a fifth finger inside her, beginning to fist the poor woman, stretching out her anal passage beyond belief as a tribute to Reed.

Sue had been utterly traumatised by her husband's death. As far as she was concerned, Wanda created a hole that could never be filled, so she'd have to make sure Wanda's hole was always filled. The witch's sentence was rather vague, so Sue was confident she'd be able to convince the judge to let her keep Wanda as an anal slave.

After the final punishment that is. Let's just say Sharon Carter made special use of her aunt Peggy's shield... in Wanda's other end that had yet to be stuffed. She called it the world's worst version of the wooden horse, that old torture device.

And that's what the rest of 838 Wanda's life would be. Torture, for no reason other than the need for revenge. But what else was new in the life of a Maximoff?

-

Wanda, our Wanda, awoke with a jolt and propped up by her head on the armrest of the couch in the rec room. Sometimes she wondered what had become of her 838 counterpart. It was doubtful that any court, no matter the universe, would accept that she’d been possessed by a dreamwalking variant. Was that Wanda currently wasting away in The Raft of her world? Maybe she was the bitch of a Jean Grey or Emma Frost too. 

There was something awful in the feeling that her own relentless pursuit to recreate her perfect family was possibly what ripped apart 838’s life. She didn’t push the guilt out of mind but it became harder to focus on it as the weight of her own incarceration weighed heavier on her. 

Jean had come back to their cell late yesterday, narrowly arriving just before inmates were mandatorily taken back to their cells. Wanda knew that Jean had no doubt filled her hours away in the arms of Emma Frost and, honestly, she preferred it that way. The longer her girlfriend was away sleeping around with other women the better. At least Wanda could have some semblance of peace when she wasn’t around. 

Unfortunately that peace had been broken when The Phoenix learned what Wanda had done in the kitchen, how she’d stolen a bitch. The punishment the witch received was relentless, painful, and left her body still aching the morning later. It was possibly the most furious she’d seen her cosmic cellmate and yet she couldn’t have cared less.  

Truthfully, the witch hadn’t thought much about what she’d done to Cassie the previous night. What consequences came of her decision weren’t of her concern. The worst that anyone could do to her at this point was kill her and that honestly seemed more like a favour than a form of retribution. Today she’d woken up and decided that she simply didn’t care. 

As a mother, she once had children who were counting on her to have all the answers. But she didn’t. She had no answers. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Niente. In fact, she was starting to believe that everything was absolutely, completely meaningless. Life was just a complete void of unceasing misery and loss and she was entirely alone, drifting forever through endless nothingness until she died. Others were welcome to draw their own conclusions on the nature of life, of course, but that’s just where she was at. 

She didn’t know who Cassie belonged to but any brat as annoying as her surely was owned by someone. Maybe that someone would appear behind the couch Wanda was sitting on and slit her throat with a shiv. Or repeatedly stab her when she was alone in the yard because Jean was too busy being fucked by Emma Frost. Whatever time to kill her worked best for them really worked for her. 

Apathy essentially summarised the state of her being since she woke up and she wasn’t exactly interested in resisting it. She’d already been violated by Jean for her behaviour last night – her asshole having become intimately acquainted with an active vibrator – so badly that it hurt to sit. To say she was in a dark headspace as she watched the episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show where the world was overtaken by walnuts was an understatement. 

It would have been on in the background if a laugh from the audience hadn’t pulled her from her mind for just a moment and she suddenly remembered that this episode was the last thing she’d watched with her family before Stark had taken her parents from her. She remembered the fear she’d felt as a child trapped beneath the rubble of her home, knowing that the slightest of movements would have killed her and her brother. Every single second had felt like it would be her last. Two whole days of thinking death was just around the corner. Now she knew she’d unintentionally used her powers to keep the missile from activating and oddly that only made the memory sting even more. She wholly wished she’d died back then. The world would have been better without her. 

But that strangely wasn’t the only time her life had quite literally come crumbling down on her, although there was a big difference between a home and an entire mountain being what buried her. 

Wanda was completely aimless now that she no longer had a kitchen to tend to since, although the guards hadn’t intervened, her outburst towards Cassie Lang had cost her her job. She was apparently too mentally unstable to be trusted to deal with knives.

Barred from her precious kitchen, the witch now had instead spent her shift dealing with the dirty delicates of the other inmates. Which meant that Agatha once again had been assigned her former shifts in the kitchen for the foreseeable future (which could have been forever for all Wanda knew). 

A small part of Wanda thought she probably vaguely overreacted to someone making a mess in her kitchen (but she still believed that Cassie had done so with malicious intent), and as such she’d decided that today she would do absolutely nothing but the bare minimum of what was expected of her and spend whatever hours she could binge watching sitcoms as punishment. That would show her. 

“What is wrong with you?” judgmentally asked the wholly unwelcome voice of her girlfriend fresh from…whatever it was that she did. 

Wanda knew Jean would resurrect the conflict at some point. But that didn’t make her any more prepared. “I…” 

“After everything I’ve done for you, you still can’t even fucking show me the respect of doing what you’re told? How many fucking times do I have to save your ass before you learn your lesson? I’m so tired of hearing about how you feel, Wanda. You’re always the victim. Making me attack Carol wasn’t enough, now you’ve decided it would be a good idea to steal that bitch from the Queenpins.”

“I already told you that she started things.”

“And you sure as fuck finished it. What made you think I would ever be ok with you claiming a bitch?”

“I don’t-”

“Let me guess, you don’t know. You never know. You do whatever you want and then you expect me to clean up your mess. You don’t understand a thing about the responsibilities of leading the Sisterhood without even factoring in your emotional outbursts.”

For the briefest millisecond, Wanda thought of saying ‘you’re not so busy that you can’t spend all of your time with Emma Frost’ but she decided against it. 

Unfortunately, Jean’s telepathic probing caught on to the jab and she wasn’t in the mood to let it go. “So that’s what you think I do all day? Let Emma fuck me. That’s absolutely rich. I do it because it’s the only way I can calm down enough from dealing with you.” That and (mostly) because the Phoenix often stole her orgasms.

“I’m sorry, Jean…I just-”

“Maybe I should just give you over to HYDRA…”

Wanda tensed. She was so sick of hearing that same threat for the last two years. She knew everyone hated her. They were right to hate her. But Jean found a way to hold that hatred over Wanda’s head at every opportunity. “Maybe you should.” Escaped the witch’s lips before she had time to think better of it. 

“What was that?”

Wanda breathed in deep, trying to muster the strength to go over this with Jean again. Every argument felt like a dance they went back and forth on every few days. It was unbearable. It always ended the same way, with Jean or the Phoenix beating her into submission. “...I just mean that maybe I don’t deserve everything you do for me…” 

Jean knew that was a lie and she could have contested it, but that wasn’t enough. The Phoenix had taken hold of her before she’d had a chance to reply, and the celestial goddess replied: “You’re right. You don’t. And I think you’ve proven that you require a permanent reminder of who you belong to….”

————————————————————— 

It had been less than 24 hours since Cassie Lang was ripped from her already miserable existence and thrust into an even worse one. Wanda Maximoff was cruel, making her do everything Maya did but without the perks...those being game nights and a rather toxic friendship, but still. She had never felt so low as she sat alone in a dark corner of the prison, wondering how she was gonna make it through potentially the rest of her life in here.

But she wouldn’t be alone for long as a familiar face found her there. And, unlike what had become common for Cassie’s life in prison, it was a welcome one. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” Kate Bishop said warmly. 

Cassie looked up, almost in confusion, taking a moment to push past her brain fog and recognize the pleasant sight. She gave Kate a soft, sad smile, happy to see her but depressed about everything else. She then mustered a weak: "Hey..."

Seeing Cassie distraught was hardly a rare sight, but it still broke Kate’s heart to see her like this. It would've been hard to see anyone like this. She sat beside Cassie and asked: “Are you ok?”

Cassie squirmed a little as Kate sat, having to remember that the archer was a friend and not someone who would harm her. "Not really..." She was done trying to be positive. She was just gonna tell it how it was.

“Did Maya…shove something up your butt again?” Kate felt incredibly wrong asking but she didn't know how else to word it. 

Cassie's lip quivered, her memories of Maya being selective and more positive than they should be. "I wish... I'm not Maya's anymore. I'm Wanda's..." She sniffled, bringing her knees in and almost trying to hide behind them.

“Wanda’s?” Kate asked, bewildered. Sure the first time they met involved Wanda attacking someone, but the archer had since seen enough of prison life to figure she must have been going through something. Almost everyone here seemed weirdly violent. 

She hated the idea of anyone being owned , but belonging to a superhero surely couldn’t have been worse than Maya. “Well belonging to an Avenger can’t be so bad…right?”

Cassie actually began to feel a little angry that Kate said that, clenching her fists and letting some of the trauma she'd been through take over. But she stopped herself from fully flipping out on the archer, instead turning to her with a look of deathly seriousness. "It's the worst! She's cruel, she lets Jean do terrible stuff to me, last night she made me eat her out while shoving a magical thing (dildo made of chaos magic) in my crotch over and over, and she won't even play games with me!"

“Wait what?” Was the first thing to leave Kate’s mouth, confused as much as she was horrified. She wanted to say something better, to give Cassie a response that made her feel safe…or at least empathised with. But she’d just been sent into complete cognitive dissonance. 

There was one single fact that had made sense to Kate ever since that fateful day in 2012 when Earth’s Mightiest assembled to stop the Chitauri invasion, the Avengers were the good guys. Sure they had their flaws, and made some serious big-time mistakes (Ultron), but anyone who was an Avenger was awesome. 

She 100% believed Cassie, but that didn’t make hearing that the team’s resident moody witch was somehow not just morally complex but able to do something that Kate considered absolutely evil any easier. 

Cassie really wasn't in the mood to repeat what she'd just said, or add any more details, so she just looked down at the ground and began to sulk. "You heard me... Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse, it dove off a cliff..."

“I…Cassie…” Kate was spluttering the beginnings of sentences in a mad scramble to find the right thing to say when really that didn’t exist. It didn’t make a lick of sense to her. She knew Wanda held a town hostage, but she also knew there must have been more to the story than what she’d read online. Hurting someone as innocent as Cassie Lang and treating her so cruelly was so senseless though. That was supervillain behaviour. 

“You should come over to my cell!” Is what she eventually exclaimed. 

Cassie normally would have lit up at that, but she was so jaded by prison life now that all she could muster was: "Why? So you can make me take off my clothes and use me as a seat?" She didn't really think Kate would ever do that... but she didn't not worry about it…

“I promise I won’t use you as a seat.” Kate assured her easily. Despite having consensually spent her morning as Yelena’s seat, she wasn’t about to make Cassie do the same. “I actually was looking for you in the first place because I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out.”

Cassie briefly considered asking her to promise she wouldn't make her strip as well, but Kate seemed genuine. She allowed herself the smallest of smiles, then gave a little nod. "O-okay. Yeah. Yeah, that would be nice."

“Cool! Wanda won’t mind, will she?” Kate asked that question awkwardly, not really sure how to address this sort of thing. 

Cassie suddenly found herself paralyzed with fear, eyes widening and face paling as she began to wonder if she was even allowed to do such a thing. "I... I... I don't know. She... I don't know if... she... she might..." She didn't even know what she was trying to say.

Kate couldn’t just sit by and let Cassie feel so afraid. Something had to be done. “Ok come on. You’re coming to my cell and then I’m going to talk to Wanda.” She hadn’t stepped in with Maya solely because of Cassie’s insistence to not do so, but the limited amount Cassie had told her about Wanda was too far. Cassie’s thoughts on the matter be damned, Kate would make sure she was freed. 

Cassie looked at Kate as if she'd just said she was going to hunt a bear with a toy gun. "Talk to her? Are you crazy? She'll kill you! Maybe even literally!"

“I’d like to see her try!” Kate scoffed, attempting to sound more bold than she felt to sooth her friend. Prison had done a lot of things to Kate (well maybe not as much as it had done to Cassie), and one of those things was putting her in an environment where her usual cocky demeanor couldn't survive in a place so foreign. But it had been a month now and she was starting to understand things a little. She didn’t like most of the things she understood mind you, but still.  Cassie needed her to be a hero and to the archer that role required at least a little bravado. 

Cassie knew she would live to regret that statement, but who was she to criticize Kate for trying to help. They made their way to the cell, Cassie somehow not recognizing that it was Yelena's. Maybe she was too distracted by the fear of Wanda potentially lurking in every corner.

It wasn’t the first time they’d been here by now so Kate collapsed onto the bottom bunk, exhausted. And,  because the host wasn’t a scary inmate, it was the only space where Cassie was free to do whatever she liked. 

“So what would you like to do?” Kate asked. Cassie had so little say in prison that she figured it was only right to let her be in charge here. 

Kate had actually convinced Yelena to grab a couple board games from the rec room. Something which appealed to Yelena equal parts because she liked seeing Kate happy, and because she got to push people around. It was an unspoken rule among prisoners that the games weren’t supposed to leave the room just out of common courtesy, but no one was about to tell Yelena that. And, if the games weren’t enough, they could just always play with hair ties again. 

Cassie let out a little chuckle, before cynically (for her) commenting on the situation. "Not be assaulted by someone I thought was a hero." Then believing she was being overly negative (understandable), she decided not to make Kate regret taking her in for a bit. She looked down at the games, gasping as a little bit of excitement slipped out. "You have games in your room now?!"

Shifting awkwardly at the more cynical comment, Kate nodded. “Yeah Yelena got them!”

She was ignorant to the fact that Yelena had nearly gotten into a fight over them. Despite her current environment, she still had managed to find herself in a semi-privileged status that allowed her to be unconsciously ignorant to some of the rougher aspects of incarceration. 

It was Cassie's turn to shift in her seat now, biting her lip and awkwardly avoiding eye contact. "Right... Yelena." She desperately tried to avoid calling Kate's girlfriend out for the way she treated her, but… "You know she laughs in my face every time she makes me clean her underwear, right? With my tongue."

“She…she said she’d stop doing that…” Kate said quietly, looking a little betrayed. It took her a lot of convincing but she’d managed to get Yelena to agree. 

Actually, in hindsight, Yelena’s lack of a response wasn’t an agreement. 

Cassie looked hurt, both for Kate and for the fact that she'd maybe said something she shouldn't have. But she couldn't let the archer live a lie, right? "Well... she lied to you then, because she's just as mean to me as ever."

Kate wanted to be a supportive friend and do what she could to talk with Cassie about Wanda, but now she was being hit with an entirely different weight of a conversation. This day just kept getting worse. 

“I’m really sorry…” She began…when Yelena burst into the cell. 

"Karen Page is being made to eat people's asses for free! There is a line!" Yelena then stopped in her tracks, enthusiastic smile vanishing as she locked eyes with an instantly terrified Cassie. Yelena quickly began to worry. What could she have told her girlfriend? "What is she doing here?"

Kate didn’t do a particularly good job hiding what she was feeling right now, looking at Yelena in complete disbelief. “She's my friend. She can come here whenever she wants, can’t she?”

Yelena frowned slightly, but tried to keep from angering Kate. She turned to Cassie and shot her a glare, meant to scare her out of saying anything critical. 

It worked, Cassie flinching and nearly whimpering as she looked down at the ground. "We were about to play a game."

Emotions bubbling up inside, Kate really wanted to have a very serious talk to Yelena about the issue but also they had a guest and arguing would have been rude. It could wait. 

“So what do you want to play?” Kate asked, turning to Cassie and keeping her focus on her. 

Cassie looked at the games, inspecting and considering them one by one... before deciding with a smile. "Scrabble!"

Sensing the tension coming from Kate and eager to avoid a talk that wasn't completely pleasant, Yelena sat down next to Kate and put her arm around her. "I will play with you. I am a big fan of... letters."

————————————————————— 

In prison there were a good many number of rules you needed to know if you didn’t want to find yourself with a shiv in the back. Don’t snitch, don’t pick a fight you can’t win, don’t ever borrow anything, and under no circumstances did you ever take another girl’s bitch. Nothing was a bigger middle finger than to lay claim to a woman who already belonged to another woman. That was just a basic fact. But you especially didn’t do it when that bitch already belonged to a gang because that was a slight against every member within the group. 

The ever-refined Vanessa Fisk was fuming when she heard the news that Wanda Maximoff had stolen Cassie Lang from Maya Lopez. After what happened to Carol Danvers, Vanessa had been wise enough to make good with Jean Grey. The mutant was, after all, standing neck and neck with Natasha Romanoff for undisputed rulership of the prison. While not officially allies, Vanessa’s allegiance to the Sisterhood was clear. And yet now Jean Grey’s temperamental little witch bitch now thought she could just take the property of Vanessa’s gang? 

It was a bold act that demanded retribution. Vanessa was clever – skilled in the art of pacification and platitudes – but she was also a proud woman. She was the Queenpin after all. And nothing in the dismal incarcerated life of The Raft called to her more than the allure of wielding the same control and respect that Jean and Natasha held. Sure she wasn’t a former X-man possessed by a celestial being or a founding Avenger, but she’d once ruled New York’s underworld with an iron fist in the absence of her husband. 

Her ego wouldn’t allow her to bear an insult from a group she’d tried to appease. And that is why she now sat in silence as she gazed deeply at the painting on the wall of her cell, deep in contemplation on what action she must take next.  

“This is an opportunity to make an example out of anyone who thinks this gang can be pushed around. We could kill her. I could kill her.” Elektra boldly asserted.

Vanessa, not looking at the women who stood in her cell seeking her ruling on what must be done, calmly asked: “And what then, Natchios? Would you have me challenge Jean Grey in the same way Carol Danvers did?” She wasn’t objecting to the idea, in fact a part of her wanted to see Wanda’s blood spilled, but she expected that Elektra at least understand the flaw. 

“<It would be better than letting her cuck us. We could put up more of a fight than Danvers did>” Maya Lopez signed, which was then spoken aloud by Elektra – who then added:

“Jean knows the rules. That bitch is the property of this gang. Wanda has no right laying a finger on her.” 

Vanessa tensed, subtle yet noticeable given her usual grace even in the face of danger. A tumultuous sea of rage tossed and turned inside of her, demanding satisfaction for the slight that had been done against her. Elektra’s anger only served to worsen her desire for vengeance. “Power isn’t about control – it’s about commanding respect. We command nothing if we allow this to go unpunished. Jean does know the consequences for stealing from us. She knows that it is an insult.” Vanessa paused. Carefully she decided: “I want you to get it done.”

“Joining the ‘I hate Wanda’ club are we?” Asked the voice of someone approaching the cell. A voice which belonged to none other than Black Widow herself. Everyone in the cell except Vanessa prepared for a fight but Natasha Romanoff had come alone and seemingly unarmed. “Don’t worry, I haven’t come to fight. I just want to talk with your boss.” 

“You can talk to her in the cafeteria over breakfast tomorrow-” Elektra began but was cut off.

“Is that how we treat guests, Elektra?” Vanessa asked calmly, gently disarming the assassin. “I’m certain Natasha means us no harm. She wouldn’t be foolish enough to attack another gang leader in their cell without expecting…dire…consequences.”

Nat nodded. She easily could have taken just about everyone in front of her (though Elektra might have put up a fight), but that wasn’t why she was visiting. “Mind if we talk? Alone.”

“Not at all.” Vanessa agreed despite Elektra’s clear displeasure. Standing up, she gave a dismissive wave to her and Echo and said: “You may leave us” 

Obliging, the two enforcers departed and so now only Natasha and Vanessa remained, two people who once held power but had since fallen face to face in the cramped confinement of a cage. Vanessa was the first to speak:

“I know that you’ve come here expecting that I should forgive your former friend, but she’s been in prison long enough to know the consequences of her actions. Harming other pathetic individuals in Jean’s gang is one thing, but to act against mine is another. And you know me well enough to know you can’t change my mind.”

That was a sound assessment. “I could step in and make you reconsider, but I like to think we’re both more civilised than that.” Nat said, appealing to Vanessa’s belief in civility even in the tempest of incarceration. 

And, while Vanessa gathered her meaning, she also registered a threat. “I don’t threaten. What she did is not something that I can forgive and neither could you if someone other than her stole from your gang.”

“It’s not a threat and I don’t expect you to ignore what she did. I’m just asking you gang leader to gang leader to give her a chance to make up for what she did before you slit her throat. I know Wanda and I’m sure she already regrets what she did.” 

Natasha had watched what Wanda had been through over the years, knowing that the torments and humiliation she’d seen the witch go through made up a small part of the unrelenting misery she’d faced every hour of every day. But she was powerless to stop it without damning the safety of everyone in her group, and so all she could do was watch as the woman she’d once trained to be an Avenger slipped further and further down the deepest darkness of her own depression. A part of Natasha was glad to see Wanda fighting back…even if she wasn’t fighting the right people. 

Vanessa thought it over carefully, weighing the weight of her bruised ego against Natasha’s implorement for mercy. “I will give her a single chance to apologise for what she’s done – a choice. If she returns Cassie to Maya immediately she will be forgiven. If not, what happens next will be her own doing.” And now came the reason for her agreement at all: “But don’t think with a request as heavy as yours, you won’t owe me a favour that I may call upon when the time arises.”

Although she hated the idea of owing anyone anything, much less someone as shady as Fisk, Natasha knew going into this conversation that it would be the price. And so, she nodded. “We have a deal.”

————————————————————— 

Wanda had no idea where the Phoenix was taking her and, despite her apathy, was a little terrified of what specifically the goddess possessing her ‘girlfriend’ planned on doing to permanently remind her of her place. The witch had been put through a lot of pain, so what could possibly be new was disturbingly provoking. 

She didn’t have to wonder too long though as they arrived at a cell. It was one that sadly was becoming all too familiar; belonging, of course, to Emma Frost. It seemed to Wanda as if she now was split in thirds between three different people; Jean, the Phoenix, and Emma.

“You’ll want to hold on to those.” The Phoenix ordered, indicating for Wanda to grip the bars of the cell. 

Although every fiber of her being wanted to resist, her cellmate’s commands overpowered her own thoughts. If she tried to think freely, the Phoenix’s talons would simply claw their way through her mind. So she did as told, gripping the bars and shutting her eyes while her prison mommy aggressively tore open her clothing. Despite it being a rather warm day in September, Wanda’s skin went cold and dotted with goose pimples when exposed. 

“While I’m certain you would attempt to be quiet, I think it will be best if you’re gagged for this next part…” The Phoenix said to her telepathically while lowering Wanda’s underwear and forcing the witch to step out of them. Then, when they were removed entirely, she willed Wanda to open her mouth to which she then silenced her. 

Wanda bit into her makeshift gag, bringing back painful memories of what Emma Frost did to her. She tried to tell herself that if she could make it through that she could make it through this, but whatever she would have to endure for this ‘next part’ had her heart pounding in terror as she struggled to imagine what it would be. 

Her silence turned to soft whimpers as the Phoenix procured Wanda’s favourite rose coloured vibrator from a box underneath her bed. A toy Jean had occasionally used to pleasure her in the past, but it seemed that any form (even if limited) of mutuality was long behind them. 

The cold tip of the toy hovered close until it was just barely poking the pucker of the witch’s butt. It hung there for a moment as the Phoenix wanted to prolong each punishment as much as possible and Wanda managed to force herself to silence as it got closer and closer to her hole. This hardly would have been the first time she’d been anally penetrated. Which made her wonder where this was going…

Contrasting with the agonisingly slow buildup, the vibrator was shoved right up her rear and flickered on, shaking and jostling between her firm cheeks. Was it painful? Very! But the pain was only amplified by the constant, jolting, movements of the toy. Even for someone who was no stranger to having their rectum violated, it was terrible

The Phoenix turned the device up all the way and basked in Wanda’s complete and abject misery at the first part of her punishment. She almost wished she could take the underwear out of Wanda’s mouth to hear what she had to say, but the screams would have brought too much attention. It would be awhile before she got bored but, thankfully for Wanda, she did. The vibrator stopped but she didn’t pull it out. 

Now what could possibly come next?

The Phoenix approached with what Wanda realised in horror was a tattoo gun. The witch had no ink herself and found the concept of being given anything by the Phoenix horrifying, and she mentally started to panic. 

Her prison mommy grabbed her by the red hair and pulled her head back so that she was forced to look at the ceiling. Then, rhythmically tapping her bitch’s bare round butt, she deeply pondered what exactly she’d write. There were just so many possibilities and Wanda’s mental cries of anguish made it hard to think.

In a stroke of sudden sadism the perfect idea came to her. She knew exactly what she wanted to write.

That’s when Wanda felt the telltale prick of the gun at the base of her back. The needle dove deep into her flesh, forcing the witch to audibly cry out a hollow scream into her gag. She wanted to rip Jean apart, limb by limb, but she couldn’t do a thing against her. She didn’t know what the Phoenix was writing but she knew it would be humiliating. 

The needle carved along Wanda’s tender butt, painfully jotting down a reminder of her role. Of course the Phoenix had chosen something that took so long to write. Each millisecond felt like it reached on for countless agonising hours. 

“Finished” The Phoenix said with her usual dispassion yet obviously enjoying herself. Forcibly marking someone’s butt really seemed to lighten her mood. Maybe she should have considered pursuing a career in prison tattoo artistry sooner. Failing to remember the excruciating nature of what she had just done, she gave Wanda a slap on the rear to indicate for her to let go of the bars. 

Wanda screamed louder than ever before at the smack to her sore and cut up butt, tears streaming down her face as she dropped to her knees. She tried in vain to speak through the muffled gag, but it was clear she was probably asking what the mutant wrote. She at least deserved to know what would be written into her flesh forever. 

“Go look in the mirror if you’re so curious...” The Phoenix said. The only thing was that there was no mirror in their cell, or any cell for that matter. If Wanda wanted to look at her reflection she would have to go to one of the restrooms. “...but after we’re done with you.”

Wanda turned around and already the Phoenix was fumbling with the straps before adjusting the harness as she approached the witch – the thick, dark strap-on dangling between her legs. Strap-ons, or anything phallic really, were a rare sight in prison. Something reserved for only the most well-connected inmates and revered by every ‘gay for the stay’ girl who longed for something devoid in a lesbian hell (or paradise depending on your perspective). 

Despite being decidedly not straight, the sight of Jean’s strap-on almost always took Wanda’s breath away. Something usually between shock and arousal. But she didn’t feel that at all this time. Instead she was simply exhausted by the fact that she’d have to be around the Phoenix for even longer. It was hard to be excited when she understood she was essentially her sex doll and it didn’t matter if she wasn’t in the mood. The tattoo she’d just been given on her ass also wasn’t exactly a turn-on. 

The Phoenix chuckled, approaching like a hungry lioness closing in on her prey. "Excellent," She purred, her hand suddenly on Wanda’s lower back, stroking and caressing. The other cupped her cheek, thumb tracing her trembling lips. "You’re nothing beyond a prison slut, Wanda." Her words in their otherwordly tone echoed in Wanda’s mind, carving into her thoughts just as deep as the tattoo. Then, before Wanda could reply, the redheaded mutant leaned in and kissed her - lips soft and warm but anything but inviting. Wanda melted into the embrace through sheer inability to resist, opening her mouth obediently to allow the Phoenix’s probing tongue entry. The goddess’ tongue danced inside Wanda’s mouth, her hands finding generous curves and clinging to them in wanton desperation.

As the exchange grew ever more heated and their hips ground together, Wanda could feel the the Phoenix’s thick, rigid strap-on pressing against her stomach. Wanda whimpered, practically humping the woman's thigh and leaving a wet mark on her leg. She knew this is what the Phoenix wanted and the only way out was to simply comply or hope Jean woke up and simply wasn’t in the mood for sex…which happened never. 

Breaking the kiss, the Phoenix gazed down into Wanda’s tear-filled eyes. She relished the tears and shoved Wanda face-first onto the bottom bunk. Before the witch could catch her breath, the Phoenix had one hand on Wanda’s neck, pinning her to the bed. 

Wanda merely moaned incoherently - mind blank, body aching. The Phoenix aligned herself, rubbing her tip up and down Wanda’s slick entrance, coating herself in the witch’s juices. Then, with no further warning or preamble, the Phoenix thrust forward, spearing Wanda completely in one brutally efficient stroke. The witch screamed, her pussy stretching and molding around the enormous intruder. Her arms flailed helplessly. 

The Phoenix remained motionless inside her slave for a long moment, the heat of her hips warming Wanda’s trembling ass. “Stop fighting.” She advised, leaning down to whisper huskily in her ear. She then straightened and pulled back, dragging the strap-on along Wanda’s inner walls until only the tip remained. "Deep breaths, slut.” She commanded before thrusting forward again, driving into Wanda’s depths. Relaxing was not an option. Crying out louder and curling her toes in pain was.

Soon the Phoenix found a brutal, unforgiving pace and fucked her  hard, relentlessly, efficiently - pumping in and out, railing Wanda. No tenderness or affection - just raw, animalistic use. Wanda struggled to grit her teeth and take it. Gasping, moaning, begging, loathing every rough, pounding thrust. 

The bunk rattled and rocked beneath them. The Phoenix grunted and growled like a beast behind her, her sharp nails, like talons, digging into Wanda’s neck and hips. "You will worship me," she hissed as she felt the pressure of the strap-on on her own clit as well, pleasuring her while she started fucking Wanda harder and rougher. The goddess released Wanda’s neck and grabbed a handful of her auburn and chestnut hair, yanking her head back violently. The Phoenix’s powerful hips smacked and slapped her ass again and again, jiggling her bottom and reddening her already red skin. 

"Please, please, please..." Wanda babbled, drooling on the bed, not a single coherent thought left in her head. Maybe she was begging for her to stop, or perhaps she was begging for her goddess to let her cum. Beyond what action she saw from Cassie the prior night, this was the closest thing to pleasure at another woman’s hands that she’d had. 

The Phoenix chuckled darkly – a perverted and cruel, capricious laugh – forcing herself on her possession harder and faster. "Please what, slave? Please stop?" Wanda wailed in denial and the Phoenix smirked. "No, of course not. Please keep fucking you? Breaking you?" 

Wanda couldn't speak, she could only squirm and whimper and beg, seconds away from climaxing. The Phoenix pulled at her hair again, arching Wanda’s, thrusting, pounding, ramming. "Please let you cum?" she mentally hissed, her voice harsh, her hips relentless.

"Yes!" Wanda finally managed in a desperate, high-pitched squeal. Her orgasm rapidly approached, Releasing Wanda’s hair and hips, the Phoenix wrapped both hands around her throat and squeezed. 

Wanda quickly felt dizzy and light-headed. A distant, detached part of her scrambled brain noted that she probably should have felt panic. Instead, she felt hollow. 

There was no pleasure in emotionlessness for the Phoenix. She craved the taste of human emotion, demanded agony and pain and bliss. Lamentation and hope, desire and despair. They were foreign to her, but something possessed so fascinatingly by mere mortals. To feel them in moments like these with Wanda is what made her something worth keeping. Yet Wanda’s newfound apathy toward life robbed the goddess of that. No pleasure of flesh on flesh compared to the infinite complexities found in the lesser beings she despised. 

"Cry for me then" the Phoenix snarled as dug her nails into Wanda’s throat and buried the strap-on to the hilt one last time. 

If nothing else, the act pumped Wanda with enough endorphins that the Phoenix could get off on. Wanda gasped, pinned and choking. The Phoenix loosened her grip as her climax waned and Wanda gulped air. 

Satisfied, the Phoenix sank back beneath the subconscious waves of Jean’s mind. The mutant awoke and released Wanda’s neck. Her hands became suddenly gentle and loving, caressing Wanda’s sweat-soaked back. She looked down at the new tattoo, perplexed by its presence before chalking it up to something her other half had done. If she’d been a caring girlfriend she’d have expressed some concern, but she simply shrugged as if this was normal. 

————————————————————— 

“You can’t move other tiles off the board.” Kate was trying to explain to Yelena, who seemed determined to spell out only a select few words. Between her own frustration with Yelena and the amount of tiles that were missing, game night was quickly becoming stressful more so than anything else.

And Yelena didn't appreciate how little imagination Kate had when it came to the game of Scrabble, especially with exactly what word she'd just chosen to spell out. "Why are you being angry with me? This is hilarious. You should be wetting your pants with laughter."

Cassie just felt queasy as she stared at the word ‘ pussy’ spelled out on the board, Yelena's alleged joke reminding her of lunch.

At this point Kate probably should have just explained what was actually wrong, but she was still trying really hard to make this as pleasant a stay for Cassie as possible. Which only made things more awkward.

“I’m not angry” She said in the least convincing voice possible and ignored the rest of what Yelena said. “I just feel like this game doesn’t really work if we change the rules on how to play.” 

Nobody was comfortable during this game night, Yelena struggled to figure out what she was doing wrong, hating that her first real girlfriend was clearly upset. Cassie's stomach was in knots, feeling like a child whose parents were mad at each other and being stupidly obvious about it. "Whose turn is it?"

“Oh it’s uhhh…” Kate couldn’t quite remember. “I think it’s your turn.”

Cassie sat up straight, eager to take her turn and get her mind off things... only to find her letters were gone. "Where'd they go?" All it would take to find the answer was to notice Yelena's wide, almost evil grin.

Kate looked perplexed at how anything could go missing in a cell so small. It just seemed that fate was determined to make this as difficult as possible. “Yelena and I will help you find them.” 

Yelena couldn't hold in her laughter as Kate acted in such a way, then reached into her jumpsuit, shoved her hand down the front of her underwear, and tossed a few tiles at Cassie, who recoiled in disgust. "You're so horrible! And that was only six! Where's the other one?"

Yelena began to snicker, moving her hand to her ass, digging around for a second, and then pulling out the seventh tile. "You mean this one?"

That was the last straw. Kate stood up and, tensing up, loudly asked: “Seriously, what's your problem with Cassie?”

Yelena stood up as well, matching Kate's tone and posture as she scoffed. "Look at her. She is a loser. This is what happens to losers in prison, Kate Bishop." Cassie went red in the face at that, anger and embarrassment both bubbling up at once.

“It’s not her fault that she got claimed. And even if it was, it doesn’t make her a loser. She’s our guest and you’re being really uncool right now.” Kate brought her voice down when Yelena matched hers. 

Yelena was beyond frustrated hearing this, knowing without a doubt that she was right, but not knowing how to make that clear with Kate, who seemed increasingly upset with her. "So you are saying that if I removed my clothes and used Cassie's face as a seat while we continue our game, that would not make her a loser?"

“What? Yeah that basically is what I’m saying…I guess.” Yelena’s response had taken Kate by some surprise. She really didn’t want to be having this conversation right now. In fact, she’d have much preferred for Yelena to use her face as a seat right about now. But this was important and needed to be addressed. 

Yelena scoffed, sitting down and deciding she didn't want to escalate the conflict any further. She just wanted things to be normal between them.

Cassie's lip was quivering as she struggled to hold back tears, anger still there but with sadness joining it. "I think I should go."

“Please don’t go!” Kate pleaded hastily. The last thing she wanted was for Cassie to go back to Wanda. “Everything is fine now. Yelena, say sorry.”

Yelena snapped her head over in Kate's direction, looking at her with a look of offense. "I will not apologize to her. I only spoke the truth. The sooner she accepts that, the sooner she can accept she is never getting out of here." Cassie instantly began to sob, burying her face in her hands and turning away from both women.

Kate was only growing more upset despite knowing what she’d gotten into before she started dating Yelena. She knew the assassin was good…deep down. But there were several massive red flags to address. 

Getting up and putting her arm around Cassie , the archer looked at Yelena like she didn’t recognise her. How could she be so sweet and then so awful? “I think you should give us some space.” She said to Yelena. 

Yelena had hoped Kate would happily ignore any red flags she saw in her, not that she felt she had any. She just recognized, now more than ever, that they had a significant difference of opinion on important issues. Her face fell as Kate said that, scrambling to find a response as the archer seemed to choose Cassie over her. "I would like to stay."

The way Yelena said that made Kate’s heart melt since she was a complete sucker for trying to appease anyone with a hurt tone. Especially when the person who sounded hurt was Yelena. The archer genuinely didn’t know what she was feeling at the moment, on a whirlwind of different conflicting emotions. 

Feeling bad, she said in a much softer voice: “I didn’t mean to kick you out. I…just can you please be nicer to Cassie? She’s going through a lot right now.”

Yelena smiled, knowing she had Kate where she wanted her. She didn't mean to be manipulative. It was just how she was."Good, because this is my cell. You could not kick me out even if you wanted to. Get me the tiles, Cassie. I will wash them for you."

Cassie looked to Kate, really not wanting to touch them. She deserved having at least one person stand up for her, and Kate knew that. So while the archer wanted to resolve the issue, she also didn’t feel right letting Cassie do anything she didn’t want to do. So reluctantly she was the one to grab the tiles and hand them over. 

Cassie smiled warmly while Yelena struggled to hide a frown. She'd really wanted to make the girl touch them. "Thank you, Kate Bishop." The spy said, in an exaggeratedly sweet tone, before making her way to the sink and rinsing them off. Cassie saw through the act, rolling her eyes while trying to focus on the tiles still being cleaned.

Kate was oblivious to the ill intent though. While she knew touching them would have made Cassie uncomfortable, she didn’t really think Yelena was still trying to mess with her. She breathed a sigh of relief since things seemed like they were about to get better. 

Yelena placed her head on Kate's shoulder, wrapping an arm around the archer and pulling her in close. She may have her severe character flaws, but she loved Kate Bishop. 

Cassie took her turn, managing to spell out “LOVE’ on the board. It made her smile, managing to come up with such a positive word in this environment. 

————————————————————— 

The round of Scrabble concluded and Yelena won…well at least according to her. In actuality, Cassie had won but Yelena insisted silly things like scoring and ‘playing by the rules’ didn’t count. Kate wanted to play another round and that didn’t sound fun at all to Yelena so she opted to leave her beloved archer and her boring dork friend to their own devices. She would have been concerned about leaving Kate with someone…if that someone wasn’t Cassie Lang

In truth, it wasn’t really the game that was boring. It was just that she couldn’t help herself from being around Cassie and not doing something to mess with her. The mindset of the prison had instilled itself in her behaviour and it would take a lot more to get out of it. So it was best to walk away for a bit now that she’d successfully won back Kate’s affection. 

She could still hear them talking as she made her way down the cellblock, looking for something to do. Natasha didn’t have anyone that she needed her to beat up today so it seemed she would have to make her own fun. Once upon a time (aka before she started dating Kate last month) she wouldn’t have passed up an opportunity to use Karen Page for free. 

She stopped by Natasha’s but her sister wasn’t there. But do you know who was there? Pepper Potts, butt sore from the spanking Nat had given her before attending to actual important issues. 

"Salty Pepper, why are you walking like you have the ants in your pants?" Yelena loved messing with her sister's bitch. Some ways were effective, like minimizing how miserable Pepper was with jokes. Some ways were just dumb, like her little nicknames. 

“That nickname doesn’t even make sense” Pepper Potts groaned as she laid stomach-down on the bunk because her rear was too tender to properly sit on. She currently was in nothing more than her underwear because Natasha had forbidden her from getting dressed again. 

Yelena raised an eyebrow. "What are you meaning? It makes perfect sense. Your nickname is Pepper, which is a spice. Salt goes with pepper. You are Salty Pepper."

“Can you just call me something else? Like maybe my actual name? Or, better yet, go annoy someone else? What about Maria Hill?” Pepper asked irritably as she tried to recover from the painful punishment (and even more painful humiliation) but was having to deal with Natasha’s annoying younger sister. 

Yelena scoffed as she continued to smirk. "Maria Hill ignores me now. I have to kick her pussy just to get a reaction."

Pepper wasn’t really sure how she was supposed to respond to that so she resorted to her usual, complaining. “I’ve had a really long day today, Yelena. I got groped in the showers this morning, had to clean our cell, and your sister is an absolute nightmare-” 

“What did you say about Natasha?” Yelena asked threateningly. She didn’t actually take insult on behalf of her sister…this time…but Pepper’s reaction was always priceless.

“I’m exhausted! Can you just give me a break!” Pepper whined. But it was too late because Yelena already had her slammed against the bars and was undressing her. 

Yelena snort-laughed. “No. Now I will shove something up your pussy.”

Terror-stricken despite it probably being the thousandth time, Pepper pleaded: “Wait no! Please! Not again!” But Yelena had now turned her around and pulled open her jumpsuit. 

“This is not your first time. You will be fine. Just pretend it is the weird eggs you used to sell.” Yelena was of course referring to the jade eggs sold by Pepper’s brand. 

Pepper was still in the process of trying to talk her way out of the inevitable when Yelena abruptly stopped and turned to look at someone approaching. It wasn’t clear whether they were friend or foe until the spy enthusiastically exclaimed:  “Antonia!” 

The woman approaching was tall, stern. Her disfigured face was unmistakable, the remnants of her near-death encounter thanks to Natasha Romanoff’s mission in Budapest. She was Antonia Dreykov, but to anyone other than Yelena she was to be called by her alias; Taskmaster. A smirk crept over her scarred lips. “Hello” She replied, her tone level. “Pepper annoy you again?”

“Yes. She knows the consequences.” Yelena nodded, still not letting the freckled redhead go. “It has been so long. What guard did you sleep with to let you out?”

Antonia had been in solitary confinement for the last few months for stabbing a guard with a shiv she’d made out of her own toothbrush. “They just let me out.” That wasn’t entirely true and both of them knew it. 

“That is a shame. You give good oral.” Yelena smiled. Once upon a time, they shared a cell. Freed from the Red Room, Antonia had been trying to understand her sexuality – having effectively never been allowed one before – and Yelena was a bored new arrival. That naturally meant they’d been intimate a few times in the past but it never amounted to anything beyond a casual friendship. 

Pepper sang a sigh of relief that Yelena was distracted. “You’re clearly busy catching up…can I please go now?” She was already incredibly tired from the hard labor she was expected to do in the day, much less the other tasks that were expected of her from Nat and Yelena. 

The two Russians looked at each other and then burst into laughter. “Not yet, Pepper Pot.” Whisked Yelena cruelly. “First, you eat my friend's ass.” It was the spy’s version of a ‘welcome back’ gift to her friend. She knew first hand how boring the hole was – especially with how there was a strict rule against any sexual activity there. 

Antonia nodded in gratitude, opened her jumpsuit, and then bent over and presented her ass to the girl. 

“You don‘t own me! You can’t sell me out!” Pepper argued. She knew that, while technically true, Nat basically let Yelena do whatever she wanted with her. If she wanted to let her friend use her Natasha wouldn’t intervene. 

Yelena looked to Antonia and they both found amusement in Pepper’s plight. “You will now also eat her pussy when you are done with her butt.” The spy chuckled. 

Pepper wailed and complained in typical  entitled fashion. Years of life in the Raft and she’d still yet to learn her place. “But haven’t I done enough! I’m tired!” She whined. “Oh my god! Why does prison have to be so awful!” 

“You are lucky I am dating someone or I would make you eat my pussy too.” Yelena replied flatly. 

-

Having orgasmed twice thanks to the reluctant Pepper Potts, Taskmaster got dressed and now sat beside Yelena on a bench in the yard, breathing in the fresh air after spending so long in a small, isolated cell in the belly of the prison. Neither said anything. The longer that neither of them talked the longer the certainty grew that something was on Antonia’s mind. A fact which Antonia knew and hoped meant Yelena would be the one to ask what it was. 

“Why did they let you out?” Yelena finally questioned, knowing from the start that this current situation seemed strange. Sure her time could have simply been up…but Yelena didn’t trust Antonia immediately running into her. She had a suspicion that someone, probably Valentina, had sent her. 

Antonia, relieved that she asked, responded in turn. “Why did you turn down the warden’s offer? You don’t like it here, do you?” Warden Val had come to her personally and offered her a release back into the general population with the stipulation that she had to get Yelena to agree to join the Thunderbolts Initiative. 

“I don’t know.” Yelena replied with a shrug. It seemed like that was all she’d say but after a pause she added: “My sister is here…and Kate Bishop. There is no point being free if they aren’t there too.”

“Kate Bishop?” Taskmaster asked, though the name sounded familiar. “Is she the archer you told me about?” Uncharacteristically adorably, Yelena had mentioned Kate to Antonia once or twice when quite drunk. Mostly a fondness of the woman she’d met the Christmas before her arrest that served as a barely disguised crush. Antonia knew from their time as cellmates that it was rare that Yelena opened up about much. but drunk enough she sometimes shared a story or two. 

Yelena nodded. “Yes. She is my girlfriend now and we are very happy together.” Kate probably would have been much less happy with her if she knew that Yelena wasn’t telling her about her shot at parole and the reason she didn’t take it, but what she didn’t know (probably) wouldn’t hurt her. 

Badly burned lips twisting into a soft smile, Antonia felt happy for Yelena. They’d both helped each other quite a bit when it came to adjusting to life as more than mindless assassins and to see Yelena so content was a huge win for her. Though Taskmaster didn’t say anything in response, her happiness for her ally didn’t need to be spoken for Yelena to know. 

“You will not be mad my answer is still no, are you?” Yelena asked in her slightly broken English, figuring that not accepting would probably violate the terms of agreement for Antonia’s release from solitary. 

“Not at all. But I think the team the warden is putting together is suffering a loss without you.” Antonia meant that as a compliment. The chance of victory for whatever mission they were being sent on seemed higher in her mind if Yelena was there. But she could respect her refusal. 

Yelena scoffed. “You will do fine without me. You are almost as skilled as me.”

“Almost? I am more skilled than you.” Antonia replied with joking disbelief. 

It was a nice moment between them and it was about to get significantly better when Yelena remembered that Karen Page was probably still being turned out for free. “Elektra did not pay enough for using Pepper Potts last week. Want to punish her bitch?” 

“Always.” Antonia replied. If Karen Page’s jaw wasn’t sore already, it was about to be. 

————————————————————— 

Wanda shuffled out of Jean’s cell and found her way to the nearest bathroom where she could see what the Phoenix had written on her body. She knew she was making a mistake by looking, that whatever it was would surely be awful, but she couldn’t quell her own morbid curiosity. But no amount of mental preparation made her ready for what she saw when she lowered her jumpsuit, turned her rear to the mirror, and craned to look back at her reflection. 

The tattoo stood in bold black letters on her skin. Just above her butt, serving as a twisted sort of tramp stamp, it read ‘The Phoenix owns this ass’. And on her left and right cheek respectively was crudely written ‘bitch’ and ‘fuckslut’. There would be no freedom from these words without thorough laser tattoo removal – and it wasn’t as if that was exactly a service offered in prison. 

Wanda felt an overwhelming urge to take a shiv and carve the letters out, unable to bear knowing that such an awful thing now forever marked her body as nothing more than just another prison bitch. The contents of her stomach twisted at the thought of others seeing it – of Natasha seeing it. How for every shower for the rest of her life it would stand out like a beacon in a room full of bare skin. It was an invitation to see her as nothing more than property, an object to use and discard at the Phoenix’s leisure. Of course she knew most already saw her that way, most that she hadn’t yet hurt that is, but the tattoo was a command for everyone to see her that way. 

-

“Why did she pick us for this?” Jessica Jones asked Trish as they searched the prison for Wanda Maximoff. Apparently they would be the ones to offer Vanessa’s ultimatum…a decision which baffled Jessica considering that she knew she wasn’t exactly the best when it came to dealing with people. She was more the ‘don’t talk to me unless we absolutely have to’ type. It seemed like Vanessa wanted this negotiation to go poorly…

Lighting a cigarette and raising it to her lips, Trish took a drag and then replied: “She didn’t pick us for this, she picked you. I’m not going anywhere near that witch.” Unlike how their drug deals usually went down, Trish was staying as much out of this as possible. 

“So why are you coming with me?” Jessica irritably asked. 

“Oh I just want a front row seat. You trying to talk down a schizo Avenger is something I can’t miss.” 

They found Wanda on her way down Cellblock B, and now seemed as poor a time as any to attempt talking with her.  “Wanda Maximoff…” Jessica called lamely, arms crossed as she slowly stepped towards her. She found it a little unnerving how Wanda silently turned to look at her, far from being in the mood to talk to anyone. “You stole someone from my boss’ gang and…” Jessica sighed “...she wants you to give her back or she’ll kill you.”

“I won’t give back someone who deserves to be punished. Now leave me alone.” Wanda replied instantly, passing over the threat on her life. 

Jessica looked at her like she was too exhausted to deal with her shit. “What’d she do, take a pair of ruby slippers that you really wanted?”

“I have been mocked, degraded, and tormented. Cassie thought she could do more of that to me and I am punishing her accordingly. Is it my fault that she chose to enter my kitchen and destroy it? You would do the same if you were in my position.” If  New York’s Queenpin thought she could scare the Scarlet Witch into submission she was sorely mistaken.   

“That’s certainly one way to deny it. Wanda, be reasonable-”

The sting on her rear of her recent tattoo wasn’t enough to quell the rage, the hurt, and the grief that burned inside her heart. She knew that Jean and the Phoenix would punish her for what she was about to do, but she just didn’t care. They could mark her entire body up with ink claiming her as their bitch. It didn’t matter. “You have no idea just how reasonable I’ve been.”

“That- yeah sure enslaving someone because they made a mess in your kitchen is reasonable. What part of ‘Vanessa is going to kill you if you don’t give Cassie back’ don’t you understand?”

“Let her try. Claiming Cassie instead of killing her was a mercy. And in spite of your insults, I have begged you to safely get out of my way. You have exhausted my patience. But I do hope you understand that even now... what's about to happen...this is me being reasonable .”

Jessica took a step back, not liking the sound of that at all. She had an overwhelming feeling that she knew where this was going and her deduction was proven right when she unwillingly dropped to her knees. “Oh for fuck’s sake…” she groaned tiredly, realising that her already bad day (every day for her was bad in prison) was about to get substantially worse.

“I want you both to tell your boss what I did to you and that I will do worse to her if she comes for me.” Wanda powered through the shock her collar gave her and dragged Jessica closer, scraping her knees against the ground. 

“Both?” Jessica asked, feigning confusion. If anyone was about to be punished it was her and her alone. In her mind she deserved as much. 

Trish was backing away from her spot on the other side of the cellblock when she unwillingly stopped and then began making reluctant steps towards Wanda. “I’m not with her!” She insisted but Wanda wasn’t stupid enough to fall for that. 

“What should I do to you two?” Wanda asked aloud, a dozen wicked ideas all coming to mind but none seeming quite right. 

Jessica was panicking inside but refused to let it show behind her irritated demeanour. She didn’t have any control of her body at the moment. She was Wanda’s puppet. A fact which came far too close to her deep-rooted trauma tied to the loss of bodily autonomy. 

The punishment Wanda devised would become apparent when Jessica and Trish were forcefully compelled to come close together and press their lips to each other in a tender embrace. Trapped in a kiss, they both tried to break away but couldn’t until Wanda waved her hand and separated them.

“Seriously? We’re sisters.” Jessica gasped as her lips parted with Trish’s. Another ten seconds and she was going to vomit at the forced makeout session the witch was subjecting them to. 

Trish nodded, fighting equal parts disgust. But she couldn’t stop herself from adding: “Well you’re adopted.”

“Thanks for clarifying, Trish. How the fuck does that help?” Jessica fired back. 

“I…yeah it doesn’t.”

Sure Wanda had tortured Cassie, hexed Gwendolyn Poole, and made Rogue touch herself to save her girlfriend, but she wasn’t depraved. Jessica and Trish had found the right words to spare them from this fate. But there were dozens of other awful things she could subject them to. There were several hexes that came to mind, but maybe the best message she could send right now didn’t require any curses at all. Just the promise of one. 

“Strip.” The witch commanded.

“You deranged piece of shit-” Jessica started, unable to control her mouth when she was upset. But that wouldn’t be an issue because Wanda silenced her.

Ok so maybe some minor magic would be needed. But it was a far cry from removing someone’s mouth like she’d done to someone once before. It was just temporary. At most it would last two minutes. “I won’t make you and your adopted sister do anything with each other. But you will still be punished…” But she’d have to hold that thought because she was about to be interrupted by the appearance of a certain archer. It seemed like everyone wanted to corner her about something right now. 

—————————————————————

Though Wanda had gone, Jean Grey chose to laze about in the bed her alternate had just disciplined the witch atop. 

The thin, itchy blanket felt rough against her body but it was sadly a feeling she’d become pretty accustomed to over the years. It was even almost comfortable. With no more responsibilities left to do for the day, she chose to relax. And, as a special treat to herself, she reached for a pack of cigarettes she had stashed in the frame of the bunk and raised a lit cigarette to her lips. 

Just as it touched her mouth she felt the Phoenix compel her to put it out. The goddess couldn’t have her vessel poisoning itself after all. 

With a sigh, Jean put it out against the wall, annoyed by the constant interference sharing a body with a celestial being posed. Then, with nothing better to do and quite excited by the marking she saw on Wanda, Jean laid down and spread her legs. Red hair flowing wildly, the mutant turned to blatantly playing with her pussy underneath the thin blue blanket which provided what little privacy could be found when the women in the cell across could look in at any time. It hadn’t started as something she planned on doing at first. But she'd found her hands drifting down between her thighs and it was too late to stop now. 

Natasha had been dreading paying a visit to Jean Grey, but felt it was necessary to her efforts of trying to figure out what Wanda was doing and how to stop her doing it. She had no idea why she found it so important to help her, Wanda was not in her gang or even close to her, but something inside her acted on its own accord, so there she was, marching up to Jean’s cell to have a conversation. 

“Enter.” Jean decreed in an annoyed tone before Nat had even stepped fully into view. She could hear her thoughts coming. 

Expecting Jean to just be lounging in her cell, Natasha entered without a thought. She faltered when she saw the redheads jumpsuit partly undone and with her hands inside her panties. “Do you need me to come back at a better time?” She was already annoyed by the other woman.

Jean’s fingers found their way between her increasingly wet sex as she rolled her eyes and said: “Just get whatever you have to say out of your system.” The lack of respect for not just another gang leader, but the only gang leader who rivalled the influence of her own, was staggering. She spoke to Nat like she was an underling in the Sisterhood. 

Natasha felt weirdly awkward. She put her hands on her hips and averted her eyes. “Okay. Well, I’m here to talk to you about Wanda.” She stared at the ceiling, feeling like a storm was coming.

Stopping for a moment, Jean seemed to seeth. “What is there to talk about Wanda?” She asked in a tone that seemed too polite. 

“Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but she’s kinda gone rogue. I have no…opinion about the inner workings of your relationship, but I think it would be advisable if you kept an eye on her. She’s…bad. Worse than usual.” Natasha knew saying the wrong thing would result in a very different kind of conversation, so she tried to appear neutral. “I had a meeting with Vanessa Fisk this morning and I hate to say that she has every intentions of killing your…plaything.” She found it hard not to say the last word with a look of disgust on her face, letting slip her opinion about the way Wanda was treated briefly. “I was able to put a stop to that, but I need…I mean, I ask you to please keep an eye on her. The things she’s been doing have caught unwanted attention.” 

“Are you telling me what to do with my girlfriend?” Jean antagonised, letting slip any pretense of civility. She either ignored everything Nat had said about Vanessa, or simply chose to skip past acknowledging it. Either way she focused on the worst possible thing.

“No, of course not! I am issuing a warning out of the best intentions for her.” Natasha muttered. She hated Jean with a passion but smiled kindly at her. “You can do whatever you want with her, but..I’m just saying.” She internally facepalmed at the lameness of that statement.

Jean had seen the future through Cassandra Webb’s clairvoyance, how Nat and Wanda would one day become an item. Whatever valid concern Natasha was expressing was overridden by Jean’s own jealousy and refusal to allow that future to become a reality. In a petty show of dominance of whose cell Nat now stood in, Jean took to loudly fingering herself to make the Black Widow uncomfortable just being in her presence. “Your concern has been heard…but I have this situation handled. Feel free to maybe use that extra mental capacity to focus on your own gang.”

Feeling oddly daring, Natasha ignored Jean’s blatant disrespect for her opinion. “How, eh, exactly do you plan on handling the situation?”

We have already reminded her of who she belongs to. She won’t act out again.” Jean was referring to both herself and the Phoenix when she said ‘we’. She was ignorant to the fact that abusing Wanda more was only making her lash out more. 

Natasha pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. “Wanda needs help. Like, as in, professional help. She’s sick. In the head.” She looked around the room, the atmosphere of Jean’s tyranny and just altogether non welcoming disposition once again clear to her. “You..punishing her, does not help.” She knew she was out of line, but couldn’t stop herself.

Jean didn’t like being told what to do. Not one bit. Her eyes locked with Nat’s for the first time, a rage burning inside her. The slightest hint of something resembling embers could be seen in her irises. “You really think I don’t know that she’s sick?” She was now probing Natasha’s mind and could see what the spy thought of the environment she created. “Do you know how hard it is to live with her ? I don’t enjoy punishing her, but she doesn’t listen to any other language. She leaves me no choice.”

Natasha knew she had gone too far and shrugged. “Fine. Live your life. I don’t care.” She rolled her eyes. “Just…keep an eye on her. Please.” She looked into Jean’s eyes once more, knowing she was probing her mind as the person they were discussing had done once before, a lifetime ago. She fought to shut off any worried thoughts about Wanda, feigning indifference. She had no idea if it had worked, because she felt anything but indifferent right now. “I’ll see you around, Jean.” She stuffed her hands in her pockets and sulked out of the room.

—————————————————————

As Kate approached Wanda she realised she probably should have told Yelena about her plan to stand up to the witch and demand her friend’s freedom, but she hadn’t had much of a chance before Yelena dashed out of the cell and it was too late to turn back now. She told herself she could handle this, that an angry Avenger with magical powers was totally something she could handle. 

The initial sight of Wanda standing over two other women who looked less than excited to be there wasn’t promising, but she chose to just do her plan anyway without any introduction. “If you don’t let Cassie go I’ll…well I’ll just have to stop you. And trust me, you do not want to know what will happen then.” Okay, so maybe she skipped the whole ‘cool speech to make the bad guy surrender’ part of learning how to be a superhero, but she felt like she was getting the point across…kind of. At least. she felt like she was actually doing really well for her first time. The three women stared at her after the blunt interruption.

“Was that a threat?” Wanda creepily smiled. Out of all the people who’d threatened her in her life, this one was certainly the most adorable. 

Kate straightened her posture and tried to look as convincingly tough as she could be. “Yes. Yes it was.”

Behind, Cassie squeaked nervously from her hiding place – a pretty terrible one to be honest. She was peering behind the corner, and sticking her head way too far out. She knew that look in Wanda's eyes, the eerie and disturbing smile. Kate was in trouble... and Cassie was too frozen in fear to save her.

“And why do you want her? Do you want a turn with her?” Wanda challenged, taking a step closer to the archer who in turn responded by taking a step back. 

Kate felt like she was way in over her head but she wouldn’t turn back. “No, she's just my friend. And you’re hurting her.”

“I’m hurting her ?” Wanda almost laughed but the sentiment never quite relayed properly. Then her gaze turned upon Cassie in her hiding spot.  “Why don’t you tell her what you did?” 

Cassie gasped and her heart seemed to freeze. She then let out a whimper before slowly and awkwardly stepping forward, her head lowered to the ground. "I... I messed with her stuff in the kitchen. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, Wanda."

The witch gave Kate a look of vindication, but Kate didn’t seem all that compelled by Cassie’s clearly forced apology. “Well I’m sure it was an accident, right?” She didn’t look away from Wanda but she was asking Cassie. 

Cassie went silent, still keeping her head lowered, but glancing around and trying to make at least brief eye contact with Kate. If she said yes, Wanda might get mad at her for ‘lying’ again, but if she said no... Who knows how that would turn out for Kate. If Wanda felt even more justified? What came out of Cassie's mouth was a series of noises that barely sounded like words.

Kate understood Cassie enough to draw her own conclusion and there was no way Cassie had intentionally messed with Wanda. “Seriously you were an Avenger, Wanda. What happened to you? Look at her. She’s terrified of you!” That came out more judgmental than she intended. 

Cassie finally choked out a "I'm n-not... terrified..." though this was a total lie. She was practically shaking now as she stood there, staring right at the ground and forcing herself not to look in Wanda's general direction. She wanted to lie again and say she was happy with Wanda, to keep Kate out of trouble, but deep down she truly hoped the archer could somehow get her out of this

Kate’s question struck a deep rooted nerve for Wanda. What had happened to her? She’d lost her family,  been abused for years, and assaulted several times. She felt herself succumb to a blinding rage.

“So can we go now or…”  Trish asked from her spot on the ground only to be silently hushed by Wanda. She tried to argue for her freedom but words didn’t come out of her mouth. She was on mute. 

Wanda didn’t speak either but for a different reason.

Getting way too cocky for her own good, Kate thought the witch’s silence meant she’d won their verbal battle. And so she held out her hand for Cassie to hold. “Come on, Cassie, we’re going.”

Cassie finally looked up, locking her eyes onto Kate's hand. She was so caught up in hearing those words, the sound of someone kind and telling her what to do for a change, that she didn't even think about why Wanda was silent. She grabbed Kate's hand and held it tight, a little bit of prison sub coming out as she said "y-yes, ma'am..."

They turned their backs on Wanda and that would be their mistake because she said one simple word. “Stop.” The command lingered in the air. Her collar activated and shocked her but she didn’t care. Neither Cassie or Kate could move and even Wanda seemed surprised that they’d obeyed. 

Cassie whimpered again, eyes darting to Kate as she bit down hard on her lip. "We're in big trouble..."

“Turn around.” Wanda demanded and both women did as told. She didn’t understand why they were listening. She wasn’t trying to hex them. 

Kate’s eyes were suddenly wide with fear. She was trapped in a body which didn’t obey her commands. Pretty much her worst nightmare. Or at least pretty high up there. “I’m dating-” She tried to say she was dating Black Widow’s sister but was forced to stop when Wanda told her to stop talking. 

Cassie tried to lower her head again, but found herself unable to, so she just worked to get her eyes as far away from Wanda as possible. Still, some dark part of her deep down kind of liked the idea that Yelena, her endless tormentor, was seemingly about to get cucked… 

She didn't like it, but prison had seemingly activated it. Prison... right? It didn't matter. She pushed that thought even deeper to where even she didn't notice it. 

“Strip” Wanda told them, magic pouring from her lips, her voice infused with sorcery, and with her own latent abilities. It didn’t take long for them to obey. In a ripple of red, Wanda was naked as well, her perky brown nipples stiff with arousal as she surveyed the bare women in front of her. Wanda paired Cassie and Trish, and in a moment, they were rolling across the ground, locked in a tight embrace. For her own amusement, she kept Jessica and Kate. 

Kate fought to resist as she kissed Wanda, but her soft hands still were on Wanda’s pale flesh, on her shoulder and on her waist, pressing deeper in wild abandon. Wanda was glad to receive, her long nails running down the archer's back, and her tongue slipping past Kate’s lips. They moaned, Wanda’s low voice melding into Kate’s higher pitch. The girl joined the witch on the altar, her nipples sharp as she pressed her chest against Wanda’s slim body, pushing her onto her back and continuing her love. On the side, Jessica kicked and attempted to say something but found herself still unable to make words come out. 

Kate wondered where the guards were. Even if they were normally useless, this seemed like a time to intervene. What she didn’t know is that they’d been given orders from the warden herself to let things play out solely because the archer was the victim. Essentially, this was equal parts punishment for Yelena refusing the initial offer to join the Thunderbolts, and motivation for Yelena to reconsider her refusal for Kate’s sake. 

Cassie and Trish didn't know each other at all, but being forced into having sex with a stranger was nothing new to either of them.  

Done with her kissing, Wanda beckoned Jessica to her, spreading her legs and sighing as the detective fruitlessly struggled until she couldn’t any longer. The witch made her kiss her clit. Jessica plundered Wanda’s pussy, her tongue slipping past the witch’s inner lips as her hands slid up her body. Wanda lay flat, her back arching as Jessica grabbed her breasts, kneading them in her strong hands as she delved deeper, pressing herself against Wanda’s wet snatch, delighting in the drippings she drew into her mouth.  

Wanda bucked, thrusting her body against Jessica. Jessica had her arms wrapped around Wanda’s thighs, and Wanda leaned forwards to keep her balance, wracked with bursts of heat as her pleasure climbed and climbed. She closed her eyes, the muffled moans of the detective beneath her adding to the sensation. Her head was full, and her thighs ached, and the world spun around and then she came, spilling her climax onto Jessica’s face, wave after wave of squirt coating her lips and spurting across her chin.  

Trish was busy riding Cassie’s face. Her tits bounced as she grinded her pussy against Cassie’s lips, leaning against the wall as she shifted her hips back and forth, suffocating the girl with her desire. 

Kate switched places with Wanda, lying in the place she had been. The witch stroked her leg, fingers dancing over her hip, through the unshaven mass of hair surrounding her pussy. She raised her other hand, twisting the gnarled fingers and making Kate writhe, her eyes glowing with the same ruby light that shimmered across Wanda’s. She kicked out, her eyes snapping shut, then open again, then she sat up, moaning, climax dripping down her thighs as she choked on air. She didn’t understand what was happening but she was powerless to object. 

Wanda smiled at that, enjoying the way she had made her feel with only her powers. She didn’t even need to touch her, and her body bent to the will of the Scarlet Witch.  

There was a cacophony accompanying the performance that Wanda watched with untempered glee. She unconsciously drew her hand down between her legs, rubbing her clit and sighing sweetly, dipping her blackened fingers inside herself with a moan.  

She navigated in front of Cassie and Trish as their red goddess. Leaving each other, they hesitantly focussed on her now. Trish had Wanda’s nipple between her teeth, while Cassie whined as she wrapped her lips over Wanda’s other breast, stroking and sucking through gasps of disgust, 

They fought each other to avoid being the one to go between her legs, and Cassie of course lost. Every stroke of her tongue sent sharp pleasure up the witch’s hips and deep inside her, touching the base of her core as her legs began to shake.  

Trish was kissing her like she’d been taught by the countless supervillains she’d been sold to before, fakely moaning against her flesh as Wanda kissed her back, grabbing her and pulling her close while the vigilante worked beneath them, her face coated in Wanda’s pleasure. 

Kate was deep in Jessica’s ass, her tongue up her hole. Jessica squirmed and moaned, helpless against the archer’s tongues and the witch’s wicked whims, rolling waves of heat pulsing through her hips, growing faster and faster, until she squirted, a torrent of warmth gushing from her pulsing pussy. It had been too long (a month and a half) since someone beside herself made her cum and she couldn’t help but be disturbed by how she enjoyed the sensation of Kate back there. Kate briefly broke from Wanda’s influence enough to frown as she observed Jessica’s climax. 

Wanda had lost control of what was happening (not that she’d had much in the start). It was complete sexual chaos. 

Wanda’s low moans seemed to (metaphorically) shake the foundations of her prison. As her lips were muffled by a soft kiss, she came once more, a feeling of pleasure so great she thought she would pass out from the sheer intensity of the thing. There was so much power in the act. An overwhelming feeling of something she never had with Jean. She closed her eyes and her head pounded and she could feel her whole body twisting away from their tongues, a single, natural motion before she fell weak, wracked by every orgasmic pulse.    

Kate was spellbound, still as a statue, tears rolling down her round face and falling onto her perky breasts. As Wanda came again, she was mystically compelled to join them, and all gathered to watch their mistress erupt. 

Lips and hands were everywhere, on her cheek and lips and chest and stomach and on her thighs and between her legs, each of her servants hankering for contact and finding what they could.  Their kisses went from her to each other, performing for Wanda. Jessica was kissing Kate, and Trish was on top of Cassie, kissing her breasts as her fingers trailed over her hips, drawing down into that sweet spot and slipping inside. Wanda watched, vaguely confused by what exactly was happening. As if waking up from her haze of grief and rage, she wondered what she’d just done. Was she just forcing them to act out her fantasies…like in Westview? The answer was yes, but she refused to accept it. No they clearly were into it or else they would have tried to fight back. Except they had tried to fight back but she’d trapped them inside bodies which were entirely under her control. 

Whether she accepted it or not, Wanda was regressing. She was slipping back into the grief filled, witch of pure chaos magic who harmed so many innocents because she couldn’t get ahold of her powers. 

Wanda shut her eyes as a completely mortified Kate Bishop dove back into her pussy while being eaten out in turn by…honestly Wanda couldn’t tell who it was at this point. 

Jessica Jones was screaming inside, begging for this all to stop but unable to plead. She’d lost her autonomy to a mind controlling psychopath before and this wasn’t any different. Every part of her inside was trying to fight, to claw her way back into control, or to at least regain control of her own voice, but she couldn’t. She hated how aroused she felt as Cassie Lang’s soft lips touched her mouth. How her tongue moving around inside of her made her wet. 

The two kissed each other and Jessica was surprised by how…forward…Cassie was. They’d never met before this but the girl didn’t really look like she would have the capacity to do what she did. There was a funny look in her eyes, and Jessica was helpless as Cassie and her dueled, with their tongues meeting together for another kiss.

The body of Jessica Jones just quivered when Cassie’s fingers slipped between her legs. Her fingers edged against her and very lightly teased Jessica’s pussy which made the detective let out another cry.

Cassie added her fingers into Jessica’s womanhood, pushing her to a moaning mess. Jessica’s hips kept bucking back and forth. Her nipples hardened. And Cassie descended. 

Jessica let out another cry, as three fingers popped into her. And Cassie decided to bring her mouth onto Jessica’s nipples to suck them hard. The detective’s body squirmed and spasmed and let out another cry. 

It didn’t make any sense how Cassie was this skilled. It didn’t take a PI to take one look at her and think she looked like someone who’d never been with anyone before prison. So why was Cassie so weirdly good?

Cassie pulled out her fingers and kissed down Jessica’s body until her tongue met Jessica’s pussy. She then lapped up her juices, tongue twisting and twirling inside of Jessica’s wetness. She was quite the prolific pussy eater. Jessica wasn’t happy to spread her legs and let Cassie do this but she had no choice. 

Cassie ran her fingers down the back of Jessica’s hair and pushed her all the way in. The lapping of the pussy continued with Cassie licking her to a messy finish. Then, with her work done, she just smiled and laid back, spreading her legs. She beckoned Jessica forward and Jessica was forced to dive down and begin to worship and kiss Cassie’s lower body. 

Jessica used her tongue, dancing it back and forth, making her cry out in pleasure. The heat only intensified with Jess lapping up her juices. Cassie leaned in and gushed, her pussy oozing for Jessica and her naughty tongue. Meanwhile, every inch of Cassie’s pussy was painfully carved into Jessica’s memory. 

Just about to cum at Kate’s efforts, Wanda’s eyes happened to flutter open and she looked at Jessica in shock. “What are you doing?!” She exclaimed. 

At that moment Jessica’s body was compelled to look up and her stomach dropped. An unimaginable level of absolute, sanity-shattering disgust filled her. Because peering between her sexual partner’s thighs she didn’t see Cassie Lang staring back at her but a horrified Trish whose illusion had just collapsed as well. 

It hadn’t been intentional, but the anarchy of Wanda’s magic had put an illusionary hex on both of them that made them perceive two very different partners. Jessica had seen Trish as Cassie, and Trish had seen Jessica as Kate.  

Though neither woman could speak or express the revulsion they felt, the look in their eyes portrayed it. There were a lot of things Trish had been forced to do during her time in the Raft, including sex acts. But this was the worst thing she’d ever been through. This one moment of unspeakability as her body now lay entwined with her adopted-sister’s. Their bare flesh against each other. It was one thing to have heard Jessica touching herself in the middle of the night but this was something entirely different. This was wrong on every single level. 

Two words escaped Jessica’s lips at little more than a whisper. “Please…stop.” She didn’t know what allowed her to speak. Maybe Wanda’s hex loosened its hold on her for a single moment, or perhaps the shock of what she’d just been forced to do was strong enough to briefly break the influence of mind control, but the capability to plead, no matter how short that plea was, felt like resurfacing from the depths of her own consciousness. 

Wanda stood and Kate and the actual Cassie winced inside as they knelt beside her. “Stop? I didn’t make you do that.” The witch insisted, more to herself than anyone around her. Yes she’d intended to punish them for threatening her, but she really had meant it when she said she wouldn’t make them do anything sexual to each other. That would have been twisted. This was their fault, right? “I didn’t…” she stammered. 

Neither Jessica or Trish could respond but they were 100% thinking that it was entirely Wanda’s fault. 

“Y-You want this…” Wanda said, starting to panic. 

But suddenly each of her victims stood up straight, and Kate was the next to find that she could speak. “...W-We don’t. This is not okay! You’re a monster…” The archer gasped. 

“Just let us go!” Trish followed, terrified of someone for the first time in a long while. 

“You’re fine. You’re fine…” Wanda felt like the walls were closing in on her as the four of them converged on her. The funny thing was that they each were trying to flee. It was Wanda’s own guilt made manifest that made them surround her. “You’re all going to be fine!”

“Kate was just trying to protect me! I-It’s my fault that she’s here. You can do whatever you want to me but let her go!” Cassie squeaked. Her whole body was trembling. 

Wanda turned, looking at each of them. She felt overwhelmed. It wasn’t just them now. She could feel the eyes of everyone she’d ever hurt. The people of Lagos, Westview, Kamar-Taj, the Illuminati. The weight of guilt from what she’d done to every single one of them was now on her. The room felt like it was spinning. She was terrified. 

“Get away from me!” Wanda screamed, dropping to her knees. Jessica, Kate, Trish, and Cassie each obeyed but were still under her control. 

Tears ran down the witch’s face and she screwed her eyes shut but it didn’t help. The pouding voices in her head of memories of her at her worst were so loud that she couldn’t even think clearly. She just wanted it all to stop. She wanted to die. The last thing she remembered was her collar activating and feeling a shock so powerful it rendered her unconscious. Warden Val felt her point to Yelena had been made, that all it took was taking her attention off her beloved archer for just a moment for something awful to happen, and so the guards rushed over and dragged the witch to a cell in solitary while the four victims were left to deal with the aftermath of Wanda’s wrath.

————————————————————— 

A stream of Russian swear words could be heard trailing down the cellblock of Yelena Belova’s cell. Natasha made shushing motions, knowing very well that she had no way of calming her sister down, but trying anyway. 

Yelena’s eyes were wet with tears, but she was too prideful to let any fall. “I’m going to kill that bitch.” She said, her voice strained with emotions. Natasha grabbed onto Yelena’s forearms, their foreheads pressing together as the redhead let a few tears fall for her sister’s pain. “Let me go! I’m going to-” Yelena tried to get free from the Black Widow’s tight grip.

“Yelena. Please.” Natasha’s voice was a whisper. “I need you to listen to me.” It hurt her that she was torn between wanting to help her sister get rid of this pain by taking well deserved revenge and this annoying, unhelpful feeling of wanting to protect Wanda Maximoff. 

“What do you have to say to me, Natasha?!” Yelena screeched at her sister. “That she didn’t mean to do it?” Her nails dug into Natasha’s arms, trying to urge her to let go. “You’ve always been pathetic about her. She’s not a child! She’s a devilish, demon woman who deserves to die. The world would be better without her. This prison would be better without her.”

Natasha bit her lip, sniffling. “I know. I know. Please, just try to understand that she didn’t do this on purpo-” 

Yelena’s eyes widened in anger. “Not on purpose! Do not give me this shit! Do you remember how it felt, not being able to control your body and your actions because of some asshole who thought he was the person to rule people?” The tears finally fell from Yelena’s eyelids. “No, you don’t! Because you don’t know what mind control feels like, Natasha. No one that does this to a person is right in their mind. You have no idea what Kate has been through. ” 

Natasha felt like she was working for a lost cause. “You’re right. I don’t know.” She tried to keep a calm and steady tone. “But what I do know, is that if you do this…If you hurt her, you’re never going to see Kate again. You will either be kept in solitary for the rest of your life, or you will be killed by Jean. Killing Wanda will not help you. Revenge is not the answer here!” 

Yelena scoffed, her mouth smiling but not in joy. “Do not talk to me with this…Avenger bullshit. Are you hearing yourself right now? She hurt what is mine!”

Natasha looked at her sister with disdain in her eyes. “Is that really all this is to you? A case of your property being taken? I thought Kate meant more to you than that. I thought you had changed.” The game she was playing was incredibly dirty, but she saw it as her only pathetic solution to making sure that Wanda would not be lying dead in her cell tomorrow.

Yelena let out a sob. “You dare…to say this to me?” Her arms slacked, no longer fighting Natasha’s grip. “I love her.”

Natasha nodded slowly. “I know you do. And that’s why you can’t make any rash decisions. You can’t…go off hunting Wanda. She deserves it, but you can’t. That’s why I need you to listen to me.” She felt her sister’s fighting power leave her and felt safe enough to let go of her. “Please, let’s sit down. You need to drink something.”

Her sisterly side came out as she helped Yelena down on the bed and gave her a plastic cup filled with water. She gently rubbed her back as Yelena gulped it down.

“I have a plan.” Natasha said softly. “But it’s gonna take some time. And it will involve being nice to Jean Grey.”

Yelena scoffed. “Good luck with that.” She trusted Natasha with her life, but did not see a way in which Natasha would make this situation better. Maybe her plan was to throw Wanda off the nearest watch tower and blame it on a guard?

Natasha waved her off. “Don’t worry about it. I’m handling this, okay? I promise. All I need you to do is to be there for Kate. I need you to protect her. Be with her all of the time, and make sure she understands the dangers of this place. She is too…too naive. You have to show her how to survive, okay? Just like I showed you .” 

Yelena sniffed. “What about that other girl that Kate is friends with, Cassie? She keeps bringing her around here and she was the reason Wanda was angry in the first place. I hate her.” Yelena didn’t really hate her, she actually thought Cassie was kinda funny, but she needed someone to blame.

“She sounds like a loose end. Make…just make sure that Kate understands why they can’t be friends. And just promise me you will do anything, anything you can to keep Kate safe. Whatever you can think of.” Natasha looked her sister in the  eyes. “I know our policy is to only care about ourselves. But…I know how much Kate means to you. I can understand these feelings…I’ve…I’ve felt like that before in my life. This, what you are feeling, is special and important. This is something that will make your life worth living in this fucking hell of a place. So, Kate is now our number one priority. Alright?” She wiped Yelena’s cheek, folding a piece of stray hair behind her sister’s ear. 

Yelena nodded slowly, feeling embarrassed at her loss of control and at how Natasha had to comfort her like she had done when they were young. It wasn’t cool and Yelena wanted to be cool. She wiped her nose loudly and cleared her throat. “Fine. But if I see that bitch in the hallways I’m gonna make her trip. She would look stupid without her front teeth.”

Natasha smiled. “That’s more like it.” She rose from her crouched position in front of her sister and clapped her hands together. “Well, I guess I should get right on it. The less you know the better, but please trust me when I promise you that Wanda will never touch Kate again. You have a nice evening and don’t do anything stupid..” 

Yelena huffed and laid down on the bed, her arms folded behind her head. Natasha waved comically to her sister and left the room, shutting the door. Being exhausted from the mix of emotions swirling inside, Yelena had rather quickly fallen asleep. She was snoozing comfortably on her bed, though her brow was furrowed with worry.

A kick to the metal frame of the bed woke her up, the clanging reverberating in her ears. “Whowhatthefuck?” She stirred, her hands flying up defensively out of habit.

“So how’s the whole cocky Russian ‘I can protect Kate’ thing working out for you?” Warden Valentina smirked down at her, needlessly wearing a pair of sunglasses despite being inside. 

Yelena covered herself up even though she was completely clothed. “What are you doing sneaking up on me?” The shock of being woken up suddenly had confused her. “What are you talking about?”

“I said bad things would happen to that poor little cellmate of yours and then they did. You didn’t think that was an accident did you?” Val had a lot of confidence by standing in Yelena’s cell openly admitting to harming Kate. “The guards could have intervened at any time. We actually got the whole thing on the cameras. But I guess you didn’t need them to help because, and I quote, ‘Kate will be safe with you.’ Is being mind-fucked by Wanda Maximoff what you consider safe?”

The anger that had slowly dissolved roared its head again tenfold. Yelena got up from the bed in one swift motion, the numerous guards around Val being the only reason she didn’t wrap her arms around her throat immediately. Instead, she kept a safe distance but clenched her fists. “ You did this?!”

Val shrugged. “Well Wanda did the work, but I did give the order to not stop her. What can I say, you left me no choice.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Yelena’s spit landed on Val’s cheek as she spoke.

Val gave a bitter smirk while she wiped the saliva off her face. “Offering to reduce her sentence was the carrot, but I guess you wanted the stick. So this is how this is gonna work, you either join the Thunderbolts or…” Val held up a portable SWORD holoscreen that showed live footage of Kate in a bed in the infirmary. “...something a lot worse than a magic orgy will happen to her. It’s tragic how many accidental overdoses happen in prisons.”

Finally Yelena understood. This had all been a setup. Her jaw tightened. She realised she had become her own worst nightmare. Loving someone made her weak. Loving Kate made her a pawn in the prison system that she had been above for so long. Try as she might, there was nothing Natasha could do for her or Kate in this situation. Her eyes connected with Val’s, cold and hard. “Fine. What’s the mission?”




 

Chapter 37: Caged Lang - Sold for Cigarettes

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Wanda had her arm around Cassie Lang, slowly guiding her through the prison without telling her where she was taking her. The witch was becoming more and more unhinged and it really showed. “How was work, dear?” She asked Cassie in a distant whisper, her cracked lips pressed against Cassie’s ear. 

Cassie shivered at the eerie whisper, turning to Wanda with a look of pure discomfort and fear. "H-hard. Like always..." She was still pretty weak physically, and the daily back breaking labor was very rough.

“Well let's hope for your sake you’re not too tired. Jean reminded me this morning of what she does to me when I disobey her…” Wanda didn’t care in the slightest that, at this point, she was just doing the awful things that others had done to her. For years she put up with every abuse imaginable. Now it was her turn to do it to who she could.

Cassie bit her lip to hold back a whimper. She couldn't believe she was saying this, but she really missed Maya. Gone were her game nights and the occasional friendly moment. Wanda was plain and simply cruel. Every time Cassie thought things couldn't get worse, they did. The only thing she knew to anticipate were the moments when Wanda was preoccupied with Jean.

"I'm sorry, mistress... That sounds hard." In truth, Cassie's darker side kind of liked that her tormentor wasn't free of her own pain.

Wanda’s day had started with all the romance of roadkill. Having barely been able to cry herself to sleep, she awoke maybe an hour later at the sound of the morning alarm and then had to give Jean a quickie. But The Phoenix demanded attention too, so instead of brushing her teeth, Wanda licked her ‘girlfriend’s’ asshole until her tongue was sore. “Jean used to bring me here…” They entered the yard, the unclouded sunlight blinding as they left behind the fluorescent lights of the prison's interior. It was as full of the overpopulated prison population as ever. 

Cassie covered her eyes as she looked around, unsure why Wanda was telling her this. She'd been to the yard before. "Used to? Would you guys go on walks or something?"

“She sold me out.” Wanda replied dryly. “Once she gave me to Vanessa Fisk just because she wanted a turn with one of the new girls.” Was she trauma dumping or about to make Cassie miserable in some new way? Or was it both?

Cassie didn't like it either way, squirming nervously as she nervously looked up at Wanda. "I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't believe that would happen to anyone. It sounds so... cruel..." She knew she probably wasn't doing a good job of convincing Wanda not to do that to her, but she never really knew what else to do.

“It is. You have no idea what it’s like being treated like you’re an object. To be tossed around, beaten, groped, and abused for a few cigarettes. But you will…” Wanda said without a hint of regret for what she was about to do to someone. 

Cassie suddenly felt numb as she began trying to pull away from Wanda's grip, shaking her head while her face was frozen in terror. "W-wait! N-no! Please, this is like... the only thing I ask you not to do anymore!"

“And I asked that everyone leave my kitchen alone. But then you came in and made a mess. Why should I do what you want?” Wanda escorted Cassie up to one of the tables and then spun in front of her, ripping the zipper of the girl’s jumpsuit open. 

Cassie yelped as she was left in just her prison issued underwear, rushing to cover herself and hoping nobody somehow saw.

But her hope was misplaced because a girl getting stripped down to her panties absolutely grabbed just about everyone’s attention. “Stand on top of the table.” Wanda commanded. 

Cassie's lip quivered as she did what she was told, knowing that disobeying would just make things worse. She looked around nervously as a crowd began to gather, still trying to cover herself as she whined.

“Everyone: This is my bitch, Cassie. If you want to use her, you pay me in cigarettes.” Wanda wasn’t the show woman type. Sure she came up with some terrifying spectacles to deal with her enemies, but she wasn’t one for flashy behaviour. Her ‘justice’ spoke for itself.

“Hey look it’s the princess of the itty bitty titty council!” A voice belonging to Titania was the first to call out from the crowd, followed by the jeers of others. Cassie had been popular from day one. But Maya didn’t like sharing with her. But Maya’s opinion didn’t matter anymore. 

Cassie blushed furiously at Titania's insult, crossing her arms over her small breasts. It was bad enough she was getting sold out. She had to be taunted and bullied too? Wanda's words made it clear to Cassie that this was happening. All she could do was hope that the person who won was relatively merciful. Who knows. Maybe Maya would purchase her. That would be a nice reunion.

“She’ll be taking turns with the five of you who bid the highest. The bid will begin at two cigarettes.” Wanda announced. All proceeds would, of course, go to Jean. That was the only way she’d be ok with Wanda doing all this. 

Immediately Ghost’s arm shot up from the crowd. The only reason she was in prison at all was because of Ant-Man and the Wasp. She couldn’t have her revenge against them but Cassie Lang was a different story…

Cassie went pale upon hearing that. Five?! Five people would be domming her. She watched Ghost's arm shoot up, blushing at how quickly it did. The only thing nice about the was the fact that she was apparently desirable. Titania's remark had definitely stung. She just wished she knew who this woman was.

“Three!” Ghost shouted, followed by Elektra bidding four. 

“I need her!” Gwendolyn Poole practically screamed from the back, about to lose her mind from not being able to have an orgasm in a month. “Six!”

Laura eyed her cellmate. “You can’t even…finish…”

“Believe me I will cum if I’m being eaten out by Kathryn Newton.” Gwen said with a hunger in her eyes. 

Cassie would grow very nervous as Elektra made her bid, then feel just plain uncomfortable as that weirdo blonde girl made such an outrageous bid for her. She began to scan the crowd, looking for any sign of Maya, or even Kate!

But Maya was staying as far away from Wanda as she possibly could, the hardened criminal suddenly wanting to avoid the witch she’d previously stolen from. Meanwhile, Kate Bishop was in her cell being trained on the prison essentials by Yelena. It mostly had to do with how to smuggle stuff up her butt. Neither would be around to help Cassie anytime soon. At least not before she’d been sold out. 

“Seven!” Gwen shouted, despite it not being her turn. She had no control over what came out of her mouth. 

Ghost was desperate and brought the bid up to eight. Already the price was becoming outrageous for a single bitch. 

Cassie's face was a deep shade of red, horror and flattery fighting in her brain for dominance... though the flattery never came close to winning. It was nothing compared to the knowledge that she was being purchased by these women. Purchased from her owner. She was owned, and she was always gonna be owned... as far as she knew at least. It didn't feel like it'd end anytime soon.

“A pack!” Titania bid, spending cigarettes that weren’t hers in the first place. Dazzler tried to protest but her annoying cellmate was talking over her every time she tried to open her mouth. At a point she gave up and just let Titania spend her finances. 

“A pack and a half.” Offered Nebula, leader of the Galaxy Gals, in her tough, robotic voice. She didn’t need to shout for her voice to be heard. She’d quickly become someone almost everyone feared. 

Cassie felt different reactions to both of these women's bids. Titania had mocked the size of her boobs, something she'd always been sensitive about. Needless to say, she didn't love the idea of being bought by her. But Nebula? This woman seemed terrifying from what she'd seen, and that chilling voice did her fear no favors.

Wanda hadn’t expected things to escalate so fast. For a moment she briefly thought that Jean may actually be happy with her for the bounty she’d come back with, but that thought quickly died. Nothing she did ever would make Jean happy.

“Two packs!” Gwen instinctively yelled.

Laura looked at her like she was the dumbest woman alive. “We don’t have two packs…”

But Gwen was way too invested to focus on silly things like logic. Laura’s words didn’t even register to the over-enthusiastic fangirl. “No three!” She really needed to lose her virginity, ok? Not ok. As made evident by Laura’s claws popping out…

Ghost, desperate, raised her bid to two and a third. Followed by Nebula getting tired of this game and raising the stakes all the way up to four. 

Cassie couldn't believe that she was rooting for Gwen of all people. What kind of twisted universe was she living in? She turned to Wanda, desperate for any sort of mercy. She couldn't be sold to Nebula…

Maybe a very small part of Wanda knew what she was doing was wrong because she refused to make eye-contact with her slave. Or she just didn’t care enough to look in her direction. Either way Cassie’s wide, tragic eyes went unnoticed by the witch. 

Titania stomped her foot in frustration as she realised she couldn't bid anymore. This was so unfair! She was basically shudders poor. Her ego couldn’t take it. “Karli! You can take her!”

Karli’s eyes went wide with horror and she began to plead. She never wanted to be near Wanda again. Not after what the witch did to her. 

“Permanently!” Titania instinctively added despite her bitch’s actual panic attack at being Wanda’s. 

Cassie hated what prison life did to her morals. While she'd managed to keep much of those intact, she found herself strangely happy that Titania was giving up Karli to Wanda. The fear on Karli's face implied Titania wasn't quite as cruel as Wanda apparently... and she did feel rather lonely lately. Perhaps a new friend could be good.

Wanda simply nodded in agreement, accepting Titania’s offer. The influencer hadn’t yet realised she easily got the poor end of the deal. 

“WHAT?! Nooo! No! Please! I-I can’t…” Karli screamed at the top of her lungs, warranting a reaction from the guards who thought she must have just been shivved. But, since she hadn’t, they left the situation alone and abandoned her to her fate. She was sobbing but Titania simply smiled and shoved her in Wanda’s direction. 

Cassie bit her lip, now feeling awful for the girl... though is that really how pathetic she looked when Wanda claimed her? She gave Karli a genuinely sweet smile, hoping she would feel comforted by the gesture. They were in this together now.

Karli wasn’t soothed in the slightest though. She actually ignored Cassie entirely as she cried uncontrollably. She didn’t want to be in it with anybody. Titania had been bad, but belonging to someone she held a shiv at was a different story. 

“I will literally do ANYTHING you want!” Gwen exclaimed. There were still four more spots. She could work with that. She just had to find a way to keep her position. 

Enter Emma Frost. “You really should be more careful what you offer…” She chided Gwen in her elegant voice. “I am willing to bid…nothing…and you will let me use your bitch nonetheless.” She’d arrived late, offered nothing, and was an absolute asshole but that didn’t matter. She was the White Queen and could do whatever the fuck she wanted.

Wanda tensed at the sight of Emma, but she was still someone she had no power over. Emma could do whatever she wanted to her without consequence. “Three more bids.” Wanda said through gritted teeth. 

Cassie felt a chill go down her spine, literally shivering as she was sold to Emma for absolutely nothing. She'd heard horror stories about this woman...

She turned to Wanda, desperate eyes locked onto her mommy's. Gwen was crazy, but didn't seem sadistic. "Can you make Gwen one of the five? Please?"

“Pleaseeeeee!” Gwen had outright progressed to begging, on her knees while Laura both felt bad for her and embarrassed by her. 

Wanda, gaining a headache from all this socialisation simply agreed. She wasn’t built for running an auction like this. It was a lot harder than it looked. “Fine!” She hissed. 

Cassie sighed with relief, though she was also a teeny bit nervous she'd grow to regret this decision. She would then turn back to the crowd, shyly returning to covering herself as she waited for the new bids.

The bidding had now gotten to the point where most normal inmates were cut out because there was no possible way they could pay. That was when Ghost went all in, willing to spend every last cigarette she’d made off Darcy. Four whole cartons…And then Nebula had raised things all the way to six. But no one else combatted that so Ghost still was in the group that would get a turn with Cassie. 

As for Cassie, she’d accepted her place, just standing there and blushing, shame overtaking her as she tried not to think of how dehumanizing this all was

And so it was that the people who would get to use Cassie were; Titania, Emma Frost, Gwendolyn, Nebula, and Ghost. 

“Who do you want to be used by first?” Wanda asked Cassie. 

Cassie turned to Wanda with wide eyes, feeling respected and in control for the first time in awhile... despite the fact that she'd just been sold to five women. "G-Gwen... S-start off soft..."

Wanda nodded in agreement. 

“You chose…poorly!” Gwen abruptly said, unable to stop herself from referencing Last Crusade. 

Cassie whipped around, blushing and staring at Gwen with a timid look. "W-what do you mean?"

“How do you NOT get the reference? C’mon Last Crusade! It’s iconic!” Gwen exclaimed, practically wounded by the reference not being understood. 

Ignoring Gwen’s nonsense, Wanda decreed: “She goes first, then Ghost, then Titania, Nebula, and last Emma.” She specifically made Emma last just to be petty. 

Cassie whimpered at Wanda's words, lowering her head and nodding. "Yes, mommy..."

She would then turn to Gwen, squirming a bit as she tried to think of what to say first. She wanted to keep things light. Endear herself to the weirdo. "So... have you done this before?" 

“Nope! I should also tell you I can’t cum!” Gwen said without her smile breaking in the slightest. She grabbed Cassie by the hand and basically ran off with her to the corner of the yard. 

————————————————————— 

Cassie was instantly confused. "You... you ca- gah!" She stumbled around as Gwen dragged her away, trying to stay caught up before they finally mercifully stopped. "So it's been a really rough few months... maybe we could... go slow?"

“Oh…uh yeah sure. Sorry…” Gwen said, coming to a stop so fast that if this was a cartoon there’d be a screeching sound effect. She spun around and looked unblinkingly into Cassie’s eyes, lost in her two-minute girlfriend’s absolutely stunning beauty.

The fangirl took a deep breath. “I just want to say that I have such a big crush on you and you’re really hot, and funny, and hot. Did I say hot twice?”

Cassie had rarely heard anyone talk about her like that, and quite honestly, she really liked it. She let out a nervous laugh, shyly grabbing her arm and finding it hard to maintain eye contact. "R-really? You barely even know me. I'm funny?"

“Yes! And you’re such a badass!” Gwen was creepy, yes. But she could also be really sweet at times. Something about her fangirling made her pretty much adore everyone she met. She treated even the lowest bitch with awe and reverence.  

Cassie had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing with delight. Her face was red not with embarrassment, but genuine flattery. "You're so sweet... I kinda thought you were gonna be all weird and creepy, but you're the nicest person I've met here. Even nicer than Kate!"

“Cut to Kate sensing you say that!” Gwen laughed, totally not suggesting what the author of The Raft should write. But her attention was then pulled to trying to not adore Cassie as Kathryn Newton. Which of course meant she blurted out: “You’re the modern scream queen, not Jenna Ortega, and I don’t care what anyone says! You were the best part of Abigail!”

Cassie instantly began to regret her words. Weird and creepy actually defined this girl pretty good... but so did sweet, and sweet was hard to come by in here. "T-thank you. Jenna Ortega is pretty cool though. Have you seen Wednesday?"

“Who hasn’t? I masturbated to so many Wenclair fanfics before coming here...” Even Gwen realised saying that out loud was way too much information. She genuinely couldn’t shut her mouth if she tried. But she could fix this. “...but like in private. In my bed. Not in public. Why am I specifying that? Shut up Gwen!” That was her fixing it. Yep. 

Cassie practically choked at this overshare of information, eyes wide as she tried to figure out how to respond to that. "I-it's cool. Everybody does it." She put on a sweet smile. If she could keep this girl talking, she could maybe get away without things turning sexual. Well, physically sexual… "I've heard about the Wenclair thing. I like the 'they were roommates' joke."

Gwen’s self-diagnosed undiagnosed ADHD (no that’s not a typo) made her very easily distractible. Cassie thinking she may be able to keep her talking was actually a very realistic plan. Gwendolyn loved spirited online discussion on basically any fandom she adored and she hadn’t really been able to have one with the practically non-verbal Laura. “They better make them a couple next season! I mean they just have so much chemistry, y’know? I actually kind of did my hair based on Enid…don’t know if anyone noticed.”

Cassie smiled wider, genuinely enjoying the conversation. It felt nice to discuss gay girls without the topic being about 'bitches to claim.' "They do seem like they'd be really good together. And your hair is so cool! I can totally see that!" Actually, It felt nice to discuss anything without the topic being about 'bitches to claim.'

“Thank you! That means so much coming from you…wait were you flirting?!” The high pitch tone Gwendolyn reached as she asked her question was truly shrill. 

Cassie cringed at the tone, then took a small step back, uncomfortable with the question. "U-um, no... I... I was just being nice. I'm sorry. I'm not into girls like that." Her eyes would briefly flitter down to Gwen's boobs, but it could've meant nothing.

“Oh…ok.” Gwen said, sounding suddenly more sullen. She genuinely didn’t understand why she had such bad luck with women.  “So…um…I don’t know how to…get to us fucking. Do I just like…take your underwear off and start eating you out or…”

Cassie bit her lip, immediately feeling bad for hurting Gwen's feelings, when she suddenly gasped quietly. "You... you're the one who's gonna... e-eat me?"

“Yeah! Or not. I’ll do whatever you want! You can facesit me. That would be so hot!” Gwen’s heart was racing just saying those words. This seemingly was going so much further than it did last time.  

Cassie... actually grinned. It had been so long since she'd gotten off in a way that wasn't traumatizing. "O-okay. Sure... I can facesit you." She'd experienced being facesat enough to know how it worked.

“COOL! Ok here goes…” Gwen collapsed on the nearest bench and waited with shallow breaths for Cassie. Yelena had facesat her before of course but this felt different. It felt so…romantic. 

Cassie looked around to make sure nobody was watching, then slipped her panties off and inspected Gwen's face. Her excitement was kinda cute, but Cassie forced herself to look away, awkwardly plopping herself down and then shifting a bit.

Gwen didn’t actually know what to do. But that was ok because she chose to approach it like she did everything else, with completely unearned confidence. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, she began to lick anything that was in front of her thinking it must be what stimulates Cassie. 

This was the first time Cassie had ever been consensually pleasured by a woman... but that didn't mean she was easy to please. All she felt was wet, and not in the good way, as Gwen licked all the wrong spots. She decided she'd try to ride the girl's face, and while it helped stimulate her a little bit, it wasn't nearly enough.

Despite what she’d assumed about prison, Gwen still was far from a professional at what she did. But her panties were practically soaked just to see the sight of Cassie’s body above hers, hips rolling as she tried to get something out of the inexperienced fangirl’s messy attempt. Just knowing what she was doing made it hard to focus on how to do it. 

Her tongue found its way between Cassie’s folds, flicking back and forth and sucking without any technique whatsoever. And then, in a move that was surprisingly stimulating, Gwen’a tongue plunged deep into Cassie’s rim. 

Cassie gasped as she felt the tongue enter her hole, finally feeling some legitimate pleasure. She was so sore back there from all the stuff Wanda had done to her, so this felt extra nice. "W-wow... Keep... keep doing that..."

Gwen couldn’t help but pause. This was a first! “Really?!” She exclaimed in a muffle. 

Cassie blushed, still uncomfortable with the fact she was doing this with a woman... but it felt good. Why should she feel weird about who was eating her out? So she adjusted her position, biting her lip and nodding. "R-really..."

“Wow, that means so much to me. You have no idea how many people I’ve tried doing this with. I think my experience with Yelena really helped me improve because Renee said I was…” Gwen began to ramble but stopped herself. “Sorry.” She apologised before pressing her mouth against Cassie’s pussy and trying to replicate what she’d done a moment ago. 

Cassie smiled softly, finding Gwen's eagerness to be very cute. Even if she wasnt incredible at it, the fact that a sexual encounter in the Raft was respectful and not forced was enough for Cassie. She continued to ride Gwen's face, smiling wide as she just enjoyed this brief moment of peace. It felt really nice.

Gwen was having the time of her life getting ridden by the stature-based hero. She didn’t care how sore her tongue was becoming as her tongue stroked against Cassie’s wet clit. Who would have thought Cassie of all people would be the first sexual partner she had a shot with…if not for the pesky hex Wanda had placed on her. 

Still, the slightest chance to cum was worth it. And so, while pleasuring Cassie with all her might, she reached her hand down her own jumpsuit and began fingering herself. Unfortunately she didn’t feel anything. 

Cassie blushed again, this time at the sight of Gwen's hand. She felt awkward about this, for some reason feeling like she should be doing more. So without much thought, she pushed Gwen's hand aside and awkwardly began to finger the blonde herself. She wasn't very good, and Wanda's hex made things even worse, but Cassie was trying, and also began riding Gwen's face harder as she got closer to orgasm.

Gwen moaned despite feeling absolutely no stimulation whatsoever from Cassie’s touch. It was actually kind of torture knowing just how hot what was happening was and feeling nothing. She could feel Cassie’s fingers slip against her womanhood. She could even feel how her heart raced. But that…excitement…was absent. 

Unable to do much about it, she kept swirling her tongue up Cassie. At least the sound of the girl’s moans were absolutely adorable. 

Cassie's adorable moans got louder as her humping got faster, until finally she came right on Gwen's face. As she began to cum down from the orgasm, she removed her fingers from Gwen's pussy and sat down on the ground. "I'm sorry... I'll finish... in a minute..."

Gwen licked her lips, savouring every second she had the honour of tasting Cassie’s juices. Her breathing was ragged and there was a wide grin on her face that wouldn’t go away for the rest of the day. “Holy…shit…that was…so…” Words failed her. 

Cassie turned to her, smiling softly as she saw Gwen's grin. This had been the first pleasant sexual experience of her life, and she felt very grateful. "Do you... want me to... use my tongue, I guess? However you'd say it..."

“Yes!” Gwen said excitedly, sitting up just so she could strip entirely out of her clothes and then she spread her legs for Cassie. “But you can take a minute if you want.”

Cassie found herself staring at Gwen's womanhood, oddly not uncomfortable with the sight. She looked up at Gwen's eyes, feeling that same desire to please she'd felt with Weaver, with Maya, only there was no fear this time. Gwen was just a nice girl who did a nice thing for her. And she wanted to make her happy. She eagerly dove in, using all her skills she'd picked up with her prison mommies to try and get Gwen off. If only she knew about the curse.

Gwen looked down at the brunette between her thighs and tried to focus as hard as she could on the moment, hoping that somehow if she focused really hard she’d manage to get off. This was all she’d wanted since arriving in this universe and it was just her luck that she couldn’t feel a thing. 

It was a shame for Cassie too, because the fangirl was actually pretty much the optimal person for her to eat out, having absolutely zero prior experience of someone's tongue being down there. Literally even the most lackluster performance would have otherwise been able to make her squirt.  

After several minutes of A+ effort, Cassie finally began to realize Gwen wasn't having a very good time. She pulled away, wiped her lips, and looked up at Gwen with a shameful expression. "I'm sorry... I really tried." Of course, thanks to conditioning from her doms, she immediately began to fear punishment.

“It’s not your fault.” Gwen hung her head low in disappointment. She needed to find a way to end this curse. “I said earlier that I can’t cum. Wanda hexed me.”

Cassie blushed, feeling guilty for forgetting now. "I'm still sorry... Thank you for being nice. My boyfriend and I never did anything like that, and the only... s-sex I've gotten has been... rough. This was nice. You're nice..." She blushed harder, looking away shyly.

Gwendolyn looked like she was about to faint hearing those words come out of Kathryn Newton’s mouth. It came as such a shock to her system that she just went wide-mouthed in awe, unblinkingly staring at the woman she’d just pleasured. It wasn’t that big of a compliment but Cassie may as well have just told her she was her favourite person on the planet. 

Cassie felt beyond awkward, both because of what she'd just said, the implications of it, and because of the staring. "Um... are you okay, Gwen. Is your power, like... freezing or something?" Her eyes darted around, occasionally looking at Gwen, other times the yard.

Gwen snapped out of it and shut her mouth, shaking her head for dramatic effect as she did. “What? Oh um no. Just I can’t believe you…like me!” The way she worded that left it vague on whether or not she meant it in the romantic sense. 

Cassie squirmed a little. Even she wasn't sure in what way she liked her. "Y-yeah. You're gonna be such a good friend. I don't have many, and I lost two in one day recently, so... of course I like you."

“Yeah ‘friend!’” Gwen laughed. “Like Sappho and her ‘friend,’ right?”

Cassie raised an eyebrow. "Sappho?" She immediately decided to change the subject. Maybe this Sappho was another one of Gwen's made up people. "Wanda takes up a lot of my time, but I'd love to... maybe hang out more. Whenever I'm not working, or... being a sex slave..."

“When’s that? I basically have nothing to do…ever. Or I can join you! I’d love to be dominated by Wanda!” Gwen could go maybe five minutes at max before she started being relentlessly weird again. 

"You mean you... you want to be somebody's... Are you like Amy?" She still couldn't comprehend anyone enjoying this life... but if she didn't mock Cassie for living it by force… "I mean... if you actually want that... I'm sure you could find a way to get claimed by Wanda."

“I’ve tried but she keeps saying no…” Gwendolyn paused. Did it finally click that she should just leave Wanda alone? Of course not! “But she has to give in eventually!”

Cassie didn't have the highest opinion of Wanda right now, so really didn't care if she was harassed by a crazy girl. "Knock yourself out, I guess. Is there a time limit with the whole... sold for cigarettes thing, or do you just give me to Ghost whenever you want?" 

“Huh…I never really thought of that. They never said in Incompetent Heroines. I guess I just give you to her…” Gwen stood up and got herself dressed before once again grabbing Cassie by the hand. 

Cassie tensed up as Gwen took her hand, her little period of relief coming to an end. "W-wait. Maybe we could hang out a little longer. Talk more about Wednesday. Or your friend, Sappho..."

————————————————————— 

But it was too late because they were already in front of the table where Ava Starr was. She was laid out atop it staring up at the open sky. It was almost peaceful enough that she could forget she was in prison. Almost. That peace was shattered though as Gwen happily shoved Cassie at Ghost and chipperly proclaimed: “She’s all yours!”

Cassie squeaked nervously as she was shoved, briefly staring at Ghost before strangely shifting her focus to Gwen. She didn't want her to leave, and not just because of her new dom.

Ava sat up and stared down the scared girl in front of her, getting a twisted satisfaction out of seeing her like this. For years she’d rotted in The Raft, knowing she’d never get out. That prison was all she’d know for the rest of her life. Fuming inside at the people who’d put her here. And now here was the daughter of one of them. “So Cassie Lang…” She started, emphasising the name with an unmistakable spite. “...Did you know your dad is the reason I’m here?”

“I did!” Gwen abruptly chimed in, raising her hand in excitement before meekly lowering it upon seeing the way Ghost glared at her. It was hard to have an intense revenge speech when Gwen was around.  

Cassie felt a flood of emotion at the mention of her dad. She missed him so much, and the guards hadn't even let them talk on the phone. She turned to Gwen with a look of confusion, trying to figure out if she was lying or really was insane. ‘ Just my luck. I'm crushing on a crazy girl... Wait. Crushing? ’ she thought. 

“I mean I didn’t know that because Ant-Man and The Wasp is not a movie in this universe and so it wouldn’t make any sense for me to know the events of it.” Gwen tried, making things worse as per usual. 

Ghost crossed her arms and stated plainly, “Fuck off.” 

“Ok!” Gwen gave a thumbs up and then awkwardly left. 

Cassie sighed as Gwen only seemed to get weirder, but as she walked away, Cass got the sudden desire to call out.. "Find me later!" ...before turning to Ghost with a shy expression. "I don't suppose you're just gonna eat my crotch too?"

“No. But thanks for reminding me that it’s been a few hours since Darcy did that…” Ghost spread her legs, feet rested on the bench beside the table, but didn’t quite progress to unzipping her jumpsuit yet. 

Cassie took a nervous step back. "Look, I had nothing to do with you getting arrested, but I'm sure you didn't deserve it. You seem like a really nice girl, and... and... and I really just wanna not have to do anything weird or gross."

“How about you apologise to me and we call it even?” Ava suggested with a malicious smirk on her face. 

Cassie didn't recognize this as a lie, still a little naive for a prisoner. "Wait, really? Well I'm so, so sorry for what happened to you!" She then put on a dorky grin to complete the apology.

“That didn’t sound very sincere to me. Try again.” Ava was already having a lot of fun with Lang. It made sense to her that a superhero’s daughter would be so dumb. 

Cassie's smile faltered slightly, but she managed to keep it mostly intact as she dropped to her knees to look extra submissive. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Ghost. I really am."

“Yeah your apology just doesn’t seem very believable to me. I think maybe it would help if I knew you really meant it…” Ava suggested, letting Cassie’s mind fill in the blank. 

Cassie didn't like the sound of that, but stayed frozen on her knees. "But I do mean it! Let's call it even! You said you would! Call it even!"

“If you apologised. But I don’t think your attempts at an apology come close to making up for the fact that I’m in prison.” Ava said as her eyes drifted over Cassie’s body. The girl was still clothed in nothing more than her white underwear. Underwear which were noticeably still wet… “I’m glad one of us is enjoying being locked up.” She remarked.

Cassie felt oddly offended by that statement, looking up at her with a face red with embarrassment and frustration. "Enjoying it? How could I be enjoying it? I don't have my family, barely any friends, I've had to do horrible things with horrible people! I had one nice moment today. One, and that doesn't mean I like being locked up!"

Ava loved how flush Cassie looked. “Well you’re about to like it a lot less. Take off your underwear.”

Cassie let out a pitiful sounding whimper, standing back up and nervously removing her panties. She closed her legs the best she could, once again fully naked and wishing she wasn't.

Ava’s smirk only grew as she took in the sight of the completely naked Cassie, tight body shaking ever so slightly with a shyness. She took it in for a minute, savouring it. 

And as she did, someone's hand pinched Cassie’s butt as they passed. In the crowded yard it was hard to tell who’d done it. 

Cassie yelped, whipping around to try and find the culprit. “Who did that?!" Her shyness turned to anger at the insulting way she was being treated, her occasional bratty moods showing up again.

“Did what?” Ava teased, feigning that she hadn’t seen them. 

Cassie turned back, letting out another pitiful sound as she accepted she wouldn't be finding out... not that she could do anything about it anyway. "Just get the bad part over with..."

“Shove those panties into your mouth.” Ava was wet just humiliating her ‘enemy’ so much. She wasn’t sure how long she could really contain herself before she had to do something about it but she wanted to last as long as she could. 

Cassie opened her mouth to object, to protest and point out that they had her own fluids on them, but she quickly realized that was all part of the fun for Ava. So she shoved the panties inside, trying her best not to gag at the taste of her own pussy. It felt so wrong.

Ava squirmed her legs at the sight, more excited than she’d been in awhile. “Start chewing.” She didn’t initially expect Cassie to actually do any of this, but now it was starting to seem like she could make the slave do anything and she wouldn’t even object. 

Cassie was taken aback by this request, whimpering softly and doing as she was told. It made the taste even worse, and she actually did gag now as she chewed on her panties like they were candy.

“I wonder what your dad would think if he could see you now. My little bitch. Chewing on your own panties.” Ava verbally struck, experiencing a cathartic high like no other. 

Cassie actually choked, not from the gross taste (well not solely from it), but from the utter sadness that statement filled her with. ‘ He would be so disappointed in me…’

As fun as it was making Cassie do something she didn’t want to do, Ava also wasn’t about to sit around and waste her time watching her eat cotton for the next thirty minutes. The boundaries, or lack thereof, that Cassie was willing to go to had been proven. There were other things she could make her do that would be far more pleasant…for Ava. Not so much Cassie. “That’s enough. Spit out whatever’s left.”

Cassie immediately spit them out, chewed up fabric splatting on the ground as she squirmed in discomfort. "Yes, ma'am. Thank you..."

“You don’t have any self-esteem, do you?” Ava asked. 

Cassie bit her lip and lowered her head. "I used to..."

Ava felt a little bad for Cassie at those words. But she quickly reminded herself not to feel too much sympathy. Cassie was probably in prison for being stupid enough to go against the Accords. She’d done this to herself. Nothing Ava was doing was unusual from the way anyone else would treat a girl like her. “I’m guessing that was before you were passed around the showers like a communal bar of soap.”

Cassie bit down harder, refusing to make eye contact. Out of fear or a display of rebellion was unclear. She did nod though, not wanting to upset Ava with total silence.

Satisfied, Ava turned around and got on her knees, presenting her orange-clad butt with a wiggle. She debated whether or not she’d keep her jumpsuit on or take it off, but eventually decided off. Letting her clothing gather around her knees, she said: “So you wanted to prove that you’re sorry, right? Well this is how you do it.”

Cassie wasn't sure just how intimate she was supposed to be getting with Ava's butt, so she decided to start off slow. She looked up at the sky, trying to ignore her circumstances as she began kissing Ava's cheeks.

Ava sighed softly as she allowed the heroine to quite literally kiss her ass, enjoying the touch of the woman’s hesitant lips against her posterior. Then she reached her arm back and shoved Cassie’s face in deep between her cheeks. “Don’t worry it’s clean. But I did just work out…”

Cassie squealed and thrashed around as her face was shoved into Ava's sweaty crack, as if this were the first time she'd ever experienced this. It was far from her first time with her face in someone's butt, though I don't need to tell you that.

“Nothing major. Just lifted weights, did push-ups, ran the perimeter of the yard…” Ava held Cassie’s head in place as she not-so-gently rubbed her rear against her face. It was kind of a work out in itself to keep her hips moving like this. Cassie simply continued to groan and whine into Ava's crack, trying to pull away and making sure she didn't open her mouth. But that just wouldn’t do for Ava. “Make out with my crack, Lang.”

Cassie froze up for a second, whined once more, then obediently kissed the woman's exposed crack. She really didn't wanna be punished, so it wasn't long before her tongue made an appearance as well, rubbing along the outside of Ava Starr's star.

Ava Starr’s whole body clenched as she felt Cassie’s wet tongue swirl against her pucker. She didn’t usually make Darcy do this, but earlier she’d seen Elektra make Karen Page do it and had a sudden desire to have it done on her. The rampant sexuality of prison life was a bit like that. One couldn’t go far without catching a sight that made her horny. 

Her hand ran through Cassie’s hair as the poor girl continued to lick a place she very much never wanted her mouth near. The day had been long and hard and hot. The jumpsuits the prisoners wore left no lack of perspiration as they toiled in the mines or endured summer heats. Ava’s underwear had been clinging tightly to her dewy body before this began and now Cassie got to enjoy the taste of sweat. 

Cassie wanted to pull away so badly, as she gagged and choked on the taste, but the hand kept her in place. She felt chills as Ava played with her hair, something that could be so soothing under the proper circumstances being twisted into something uncomfortable. ‘ Maybe Gwen could- Shut up…’

“Put your tongue in.” Ava said, her tone sinister yet relaxed. 

Cassie froze up yet again, this time not moving again as she debated whether she could actually do this. Again, it wasn't her first time getting intimate with someone's backside, but Cassie still didn't love shoving her tongue in them.

“A guard searched my ass earlier and it still hurts. You’re going to help me soothe that or I’m going to shove my fist so far up you that you choke on it.” Ava snapped. 

Cassie choked out another whimper, really not wanting anything in her ass today. She then got to work eating Ava's asshole, hating every disgusting second of it. She even rubbed the woman's cheeks for good measure, hoping to get back on her good side.

“Fuck…” Ava gasped, shivering as Cassie’s tongue went up. But that wasn’t what really made her weak in the knees. No it was the feeling of Cassie’s slender hands feeling up her shaking bountiful butt. She certainly hadn’t expected Cassie to begin rubbing her cheeks but instantly it elevated the experience to near euphoria. “Funny…how…this worked out. Me..and you…in the same…prison.” She commented through ragged breaths. 

Cassie whined, speaking between tongue strokes. "I... thought the same thing... when I got sent... to the same place as Hope..." Yet she still hadn’t seen the woman who'd essentially become her second mom. She felt like it would make things a little better, but no such luck so far.

“Yeah…she’s with…Hydra…” Ava gasped harder and harder, losing her balance as Cassie licked. At a point she got so into it that she thrust her leg back and hit Cassie in the stomach. 

Cassie had heard the bad news pretty early on, and having also heard some horror stories about Hydra, she couldn't imagine what her poor mother figure was going through. She let out a groan of pain as her stomach was kicked, reaching down to hold it as she continued to lick. She briefly considered asking her not to kick her, but again, no self respect.

At least things she wouldn’t have to be with Ava much longer as the woman came, her juices pooling on the table. Cassie immediately pulled away as she came, whining and wiping her mouth. "Can we please be done? I've still got multiple other people that... p-purchased me." It still felt so wrong to say.

“Say sorry one more time and then you can go.” Ava seemed to get off from making Cassie apologise for something she didn’t do even more than she did from being eaten out. 

Cassie flashed some puppy dog eyes, slumping down and trying to look as adorably pathetic as possible to appease Ava. "I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve to get sent here, and I'll never forgive myself for being the reason why..."

Smirking in satisfaction, Ava nodded in silent indication that Cassie was free to find the next client. 

————————————————————— 

It didn't take long for the girl to find Titania, Cassie subconsciously trying to hide her boobs and avoid more mockery. "H-hi, Mistress Titania... I'm... I'm y-yours now..." She bit her quivering lip, dreading whatever torture this woman would force her to endure.

“What took you so long?” Titania was quick to ask, furious that she’d been forced to wait thirty whole minutes! Before prison she never waited for anything ever. 

Cassie lowered her head, shyly kicking the ground as she avoided eye contact. "Two other girls used me first... I had to stay with them until they were finished." She decided to leave out the part about Gwen kind of being a cool person.

“Ok and?” She asked, annoyed.  Hopping up from the bench she’d been reclined on, Titania practically towered over the meek pint-sized hero in front of her. If you’re wondering where Dazzler had gone, she had hastily elected to take Titania’s time with Cassie as a much needed break from the influencer. 

Cassie scrambled for a response, whining in frustration at how little Titania seemed to understand. "So I didn't have time to get over here!" She shouted in a flustered voice, which was complemented by her messy hair and generally disheveled appearance.

“Whatever. This is costing you at least a star.” It was absolutely unclear on whether or not Titania meant that metaphorically or literally believed there was some customer review service that came with the trade of prison bitches. 

Cassie looked appropriately confused, though strangely upset. If there was a customer review service, she wanted a perfect score. "W-wait! I... I can make it up to you. I'm sure we can work something out?"

“Begging is so beneath you, little tits,” Titania replied. 

Cassie frowned, physically covering her tiny tits with her arms. That had always been a sore spot for her, and even her super sweet boyfriend on the outside never did say he liked them."T-they're not little. They're a decent size..."

“Decent sized? You literally look like the prison itty bitty titty princess.” The influencer was ruthless in her assessment of Cassie’s body. Which of course ran counter to her online body positivity message…but that was true for just about any social media influencer ever so it wasn’t much of a surprise. 

Cassie used to admire Titania's positive messages, so the irony wasn't lost on her. "W-well it's probably a good thing in here. I'm not a lesbian, so it's not like I want to impress anyone in here." Lesbian, bi, or straight, you couldn't deny that Cassie really wanted to please, even if she hated the forced nature of her prison encounters.

“How long are we going to talk about you?” Titania was the one who’d initiated the current topic…

Cassie let out a heavy sigh, chewing on her lip as she looked around. "What are you gonna do to me?"

Titania didn’t have an immediate answer to that. Afterall she had only recently begun using women for sex (but, importantly, she assured herself it was just because she lacked options in prison and was using what was available and definitely not because she was bi-curious). “Well…I don’t know! You’re the bitch. You should know how this works.”

The also closeted bi-curious girl got onto her knees on instinct, crawling over to Titania to where she was eye level with her crotch. "T-this is the part where you take your jumpsuit off..." She said in a pitiful, whiny voice. Her usual 'about to do something gross' tone.

Titania rolled her eyes as she undressed, allowing Cassie to get a good look at her sex. By prison standards, the influencer was pretty close to shaven. She’d kept things smooth prior to incarceration and she’d yet to be in The Raft long enough for things to be half as hairy as most of the inmates. 

Cassie sighed with relief, happy she likely wouldn't be picking pubic hair out of her teeth this time. Knowing she should probably get this over with, to get closer to being free from this horrible day and to avoid more comments about her body, Cassie shoved her face into the pussy before her, licking and lapping in an attempt to get her off fast.

Considering her picky demeanour, Titania was actually pretty easy to please when it came to being on the receiving end of another lady’s tongue. She would have been one to nitpick…if she knew what to nitpick. But thankfully she was even less experienced than Cassie. 

Using Karli mostly consisted of just telling the slave that she was bored and letting her handle the rest. And she was just now realising that maybe it wasn’t the best idea to impulse spend Karli for this one time use of Cassie. 

Cassie quickly began to notice a lack of noise from Titania. She didn't seem happy or annoyed. Cass really didn't know what to think. While most would just keep licking and ignore that, Cassie needed to know, pulling her head back and looking up with a dorkily desperate expression. "H-how am I doing so far?"

“Well did I ask you to stop?” Titania hissed, stomping her foot in irritation that Cassie had stopped. Brattiness was her way of showing enjoyment…apparently. 

Cassie understood the implication, diving back in and trying to give this girl the best oral sex of her life. Solely because she wanted to get this over with. Surely she didn't have a desperate internal need to please a woman.

It didn’t take long at all for Titania to cum…but that didn’t mean she was done. She may not have been as strong as she was without a suppressant collar, but she still managed to lift Cassie off the ground with ease until the girl’s face was level with her chest. “I’m sure you wish you were blessed with boobs like mine so I’m going to let you lick them! Consider it a gift for eating me out!” It was almost a thank you. 

Cassie gasped softly as she was lifted up, feeling truly at Titania's mercy as her feet left the ground. She stared at the woman's ample bosom with a furious blush, before shyly and awkwardly beginning to lick them. They were definitely sweaty.

Titania (probably) wouldn’t have done any serious harm to the girl – at least not in comparison to some of the other women who’d taken turns with Cassie in the past – but she wasn’t exactly gentle. The hug she had her locked in felt like it would collapse Cassie’s ribcage. And she only got tighter the more she gasped and moaned. 

Her breasts glistened under the sunlight but Cassie didn’t get much of a chance to notice that when they were being shoved in her face. “Admit it. You’re totally jealous.”

Cassie let out a pitiful squeal, kicking weakly in an attempt to distract from the tight pain. Though muffled from the boobs in her face, Cassie managed to choke out a- "M-maybe a little..." She was very jealous.

Titania managed to hold Cassie in one arm while the other ventured to rubbing herself (because there was no way she’d help Cassie get off). The act of being forced to make out with Titania’s breasts while the woman fingered herself was definitely…something. “Mmmm…I know, babe. It can’t be easy working with nothing like you do. What’s your bra size, a triple A?”

Cassie's blush only grew as she got dangerously close to figuring out her bra size. "I don't have to answer that." She also found herself subconsciously humping against Titania's thigh, jealous of the woman being able to get off without thinking of her slave.

But while Cassie wasn’t aware she was doing it, Titania very much was. And she reacted accordingly. “What do you think you’re doing?!” She exclaimed dramatically, disgusted by the idea that any of Cassie’s juices might now be on her thigh.

Cassie immediately felt humiliated as she realized what she'd done, looking up at Titania's eyes, mouth still shoved between the woman's breasts. "I... I don't know. I think maybe I just got jealous!"

“Jealousy I get. But it sure fucking felt like you were rubbing your pussy on my thigh.” Titania’s tone wasn’t aggressive, but it was filled with surprise and mockery. She found the fact that Cassie has actually tried rubbing herself against her leg equal parts gross and adorable. The idea that she’d dared to do something with her by her own volition served to only flatter her omnipresent ego. However, she also didn’t like gross convict cum that didn’t belong to her on her body so her flattery was limited. 

"M-maybe I was... I'm sorry. It's just that Wanda never lets me do anything like that, and Gwen already did it for me once, and I think maybe I'm just overcompensating, and-" Cassie said all this in a worried, rambled tone.

Titania didn’t listen to a word that Cassie had just rambled. “So you just think I’m so hot you couldn’t help yourself?”

Cassie suddenly looked concerned. Did she think Titania was hot? She'd never thought of a girl in that way before. At least she didn't think she had. Was the lack of men finally starting to get to her? Why did she suddenly begin thinking of Gwen? Why was she so horny? She at least knew how she could take care of that last one. Flattery. "I... yes."

Without another word Titania flipped Cassie so that she was laid out to the bench. She suddenly liked the small tittied dork a lot more. “Pick how you want to get off.” The influencer had some serious deep-rooted self esteem issues. Afterall her entire life once revolved around what other people thought of her. But in prison though she’d yet to meet someone who worshipped her like her fans had. Cassie thinking she was hot was close enough. 

Cassie screamed in surprise as she was flipped, briefly going into fight or flight mode before hearing the question. "I... I don't know. Um... tongue?" She would've said fingers, but those were always the roughest body parts she'd had shoved in her holes.

“Ew! As if I’d ever put my mouth anywhere near your crotch. Try again.” Titania was not about to eat someone out anytime soon. That would have been gay. 

Cassie blushed, not understanding Titania's reasons. What was wrong with her crotch? "Um... uh..." She really wasn't good at this. What else could get her off other than tongues or fingers? "I guess I could... do it against your leg? You could put your clothes back on?"

Titania considered it. On the one hand, that meant her jumpsuit would be dirty…but it already was dirty from her shift in the mines. On the other hand, she could just wash her leg in the sink if she did it bare. Ultimately she chose to put her clothes back on and then she extended her right leg out for Cassie to straddle. 

Cassie bit her lip, closing her eyes and picturing her boyfriend as she began to hump Titania's leg. "Thank you, mistress..."

This may have actually been a rare moment where the sex act was more confusing for the dom than the sub because Titania had absolutely no idea what to think as she watched Cassie furiously grind herself against her limb. Her mood fell somewhere between aroused and annoyed and yet she didn’t have any interest in making Cassie stop what she was doing. It felt weirdly nice. 

The neon orange pantleg quickly grew damp the more Cassie rode it, soon looking like it was just about drenched. The influencer idly began to fantasise that she was in Cassie’s position but humping one of Jennifer Walters’ muscular green legs. And then she quickly wondered where that disturbing mental image had come off. Why had she been thinking about herself with a naked She-Hulk so much lately? 

“You’re a complete freak.” Titania remarked, rolling her eyes at the spectacle, but not looking away. 

Cassie was just seconds away from cumming when she heard those words, stopping and looking up with a blush. "I... I'm not a freak. Take that back..." Cassie wasn't in brat mode yet, still too shy to raise her voice. 

“I’m not going to take it back. You’re a freak.” It wasn’t even meant as a malicious insult so much as just casually making a comment. But her casual was insulting people to be fair. 

Cassie's shyness turned to sadness, then frustration. "I'm not a freak! Take it back!!!" She really wasn't thinking about how lucky she was to be getting off twice in one day.

Titania scoffed. “You think you can tell me what to do? Do you know who I am?” In response to Cassie being bratty, Titania went full Karen. They really were making for a delightful duo. 

Cassie didn't think so, debating the pros and cons of standing up for herself… "You can't just call me a freak! That's so mean! Even in a prison, you should still treat people with basic respect!"

Respect? Titania didn’t know what that word meant and she didn’t want to know. Whatever it was sounded gross AF. “Babe, you’re like literally humping my leg. I am being respectful when I say you’re a freak because there are like a thousand other words I could have used. But I didn’t. So really you’re the one being mean, bitch. #gotcha.”

Cassie was more confused than anything by that. "Did you just... say hash- Nevermind. J-Just say you're sorry, let me finish, and then we'll never have to see each other again."

“I don’t do ‘sorry.’ And about you finishing, that train has left the station. I just don’t really want to help you anymore. Guess you’ll just have to beg the next person who wants a turn with you.” Titania shrugged in the most punchable way possible. 

Cassie suddenly went right back to submissive mode, gasping and dropping to her knees as she realized she may have blown her last chance to get off for a long time. "Wait! Okay, I'm sorry! You can call me whatever you want! A freak! A weirdo! Anything! Just please let me finish!" She hadn't realized how much her pent up arousal had affected her these past weeks/months, even with her encounter with Gwen.

“Ok leave me alone now, weirdo .” Titania waved her away. 

Cassie's face fell as she sadly walked away, whining as she looked around for the next woman who would surely make her life a living hell.

————————————————————— 

Nebula leaned against the eastern wall of the yard smoking a quaint little Terran thing called a cigarette. It tasted awful and burned her throat but there was something addictive about it. 

With her jumpsuit tied around her waist, the blue alien was unshy to let anyone see her muscular half-cybernetic body. In fact she welcomed the gazes she caught, fearful and lustful alike. She was the new leader of the Galaxy Gals and even Jean Grey herself was currently keeping her distance. In short, she was on top of the world right now. 

Cassie slowly, nervously approached the woman, having heard some terrifying stories about her. She gagged and coughed as she caught a whiff of the cigarette, really hoping she'd stamp that out soon. "H-hi. You must be Nebula."

“And that question immediately lumps you in with the rest of Terrans as an idiot. Of course I’m Nebula.” She replied in her sultry robotic voice. To her Cassie looked pathetic, weak, and like she could break at the slightest touch. But that was to be expected of the predominant species of this planet. 

Cassie frowned. First she was a freak, now she was being called an idiot? "I... I'm here to... s-serve. I'll be a... good girl for you." She hated saying these words, but knew it was best.

Instead of saying anything, Nebula blew a cloud of smoke in Cassie’s face just to see how she’d react. 

Cassie squeaked as her eyes and lungs began to burn, coughing and waving away the smoke like a total dweeb. "Please don't do that. I really don't like smoking..."

“Unless you like having your holes expanded by my fist, you’re about to endure a lot that you don’t like.” For a woman who’d only recently lost her virginity by making Monica Rambeau touch her, Nebula had slotted in perfectly as a tough prison lesbian. 

Cassie suppressed a scream and covered said holes, utterly dreading what she was about to experience. "W-well, still... doesn't mean I wanna get cancer..."

Nebula paused for a moment, not knowing what that meant. It didn’t have a direct translation in the language she heard everything in (universal translator) nor was she aware of the possible effects of smoking the strange Terran thing. 

Confused, she instinctively barked: “Shut up!”

Cassie took a nervous step back, lowering her head and sighing. “Yes, ma'am..."

“Get on all fours on the ground, ass facing me.” Nebula commanded as she put the cigarette out against the wall and then tossed it aside. 

Cassie did not like the sound of that, whining as she did as she was told, feeling like a total dork. Like a silly puppy. At least the cigarette was put out. Unlike what had happened for Carol Danvers, whose butthole now was scarred by the agonising pressing of a cigarette against it. Cassie would be spared such a terrible marring…but that didn;t mean she’d get to sit comfortably for the foreseeable future as Nebula rammed her fist up the poor girl’s ass like she was a puppet. 

Despite having had some things rammed up her asshole before, this felt unlike any pain she'd experienced back there. She shrieked and screamed as tears immediately dreamed down her face, her tightest hole threatening to loosen, if it hadn't already.

“Stop your obnoxious screaming.” Nebula grumpily – and unfairly – demanded of Cassie as she pushed in farther than the girl thought possible. It was tragic yet unsurprising how the guards did absolutely nothing to interfere. 

Cassie tried, she really did, but as she felt the woman's fist enter her ass further than Maya or Wanda had ever gone, she couldn't keep from shouting and crying in pain.

Nebula pulled out…just to punch her way back in again. All the while she made no visible sign of enjoyment of anything she did, yet the sadistic love of seeing Cassie in so much pain was certainly present under the surface. 

Cassie had been through a lot today, but this was somehow the worst thing she'd experienced. Her ass was gonna be sore for days, if not weeks, and it already often felt sore. She closed her eyes and let her tears fall, squirming and thrashing as her butt was reamed so viciously.

The pain was surreal, mind numbingly intense. Which made it all the weirder when Nebula suddenly asked: “Why do Terrans put water into bottles you immediately dispose of after use?” 

Cassie barely had time to register what Nebula had just said, but after a couple whimpers and wiping away a few tears, she would turn to the woman with a look of frustrated confusion. "Is that really your biggest issue right now?"

“It’s been on my mind since the mines.” Nebula replied, mid-thrust. She then grabbed Cassie by the hair and pulled her head back. “Now. Answer. The. Question.”

Cassie let out another high pitched scream, shutting her eyes again and feeling like her head and ass were gonna explode. "It's c-cleaner then, like... river water and stuff!"

“This prison is surrounded by ocean. You could purify the water.” Nebula advised as if Cassie were somehow in charge of the prison and could make changes. 

Cassie groaned. She really didn't understand it. She just didn't care. "I'm sorry! I'll try freaking harder, okay?!" She was so done at this point.

“You could at least use bottles that are reusable.” Nebula continued as she stripped out of her own jumpsuit and began rubbing her blue luphamoidian pussy against Cassie’s buttcheek. 

Cassie whined, disgusted by Nebula's- wait a minute. Was this how Titania felt? Regardless, she just looked around the yard, trying to focus on anything but her horrific situation.

Let’s see, what was there to redirect her focus on? Agatha Harkness was currently in a similar predicament – with the woman shoving their fist up her bum of course being Rio Vidal. Elsewhere, Hydra was being Hydra. In a corner Elsa Bloodstone was currently being eaten out by a loving Layla El-Faouly…so that was kind of wholesome. 

Cassie decided to focus on the wholesome one, smiling and kind of admiring how in love they looked. It must be nice. To find love in prison. Even so, her poor butt was on fire. It felt like her insides were being rearranged, and she didn't think she'd be able to walk properly for awhile. And she still had Emma to go…

Nebula’s spray splattered on Cassie’s arse and then she pulled her fist out a final time. “I’m surprised you stayed conscious.”

Cassie let out a final whimper as she was finally unstuffed, even if it still felt like she had something inside her. "I think you broke my butthole." She then slumped onto her stomach, biting her lip and hoping what she'd said wasn't actually true.

“You’ll get over it.” Nebula said callously as she simply walked off, leaving the aching Cassie on the floor. 

————————————————————— 

Cassie practically crawled over to Emma Frost, terror actually not to where it should be, as she was too focused on her aching body and sore hole. She'd been put through the ringer today, and the experience of being sold to various women had been almost as bad as she thought it would be.

I say almost, because it had also given her a couple good memories as well. She'd nearly gotten off twice, which was more than she usually did in The Raft, and Gwen had been so nice... Maybe Emma wouldn't be so bad?

But any hope of Emma Frost not being bad was laughably misplaced. She was The White Queen and she once ate pathetic girls like Cassie alive on the daily. There was nothing special about the girl, nothing that had spoken to her as exceptional when she’d decided that she desired a turn with her. It was simply a return to normalcy. Cassie was like so many of the women Emma had trafficked; young, naive, breakable . Aspiring actresses fresh to Hollywood or strippers with daddy issues that were the abundant prey in Emma’s circle. 

They were her playthings, mice a cat played with before she tired of their miserable existence. She did what she wanted with them (and she did a lot) and maybe they’d still be able to formulate sentences when she was done. 

Standing tall, she briefly checked out her nails before resting her hand on her side and locking her mesmerising diamond eyes on Cassie. Emma seemed harmless, like a gorgeous platinum blonde goddess that could have been any tough lesbian’s bitch in just about any prison on the planet. And yet she had an aura that commanded respect, dare one even say fear. 

Cassie tried to force herself to her feet, but quickly found herself slumping back down. "H-hi, Ms. Frost. I'm... I'm here... Ready to... do whatever you ask." She really just wanted to get this over with.

“Kneel.” Emma ordered calmly. It seemed as if this was about to go as expected and she’d have Cassie eat her out…but that idea was so…pedestrian. 

Cassie was able to scramble to her knees, but still seemed weak. She reached back to soothe her still stinging asshole, then whimpered as this did nothing to actually help with the pain.

“I presume you think you know what I expect from you, is that right?” Emma was playing with her. Probing Cassie’s vulnerable thoughts for every insecurity and quickly realising there was a delightful gaping black hole where the girl’s self-esteem should have been.

Cassie winced and nodded, assuming she knew exactly what her time with Emma would entail.

"My tongue is yours, M-ms. Frost..." She then lowered her head, not prepared to eat another girl out today. Her jaw was so sore at this point.

From the nearest table Emma produced a belt which she held in front of Cassie’s face. “Your tongue can stay in your mouth. For now. I have something better in mind…”

Cassie looked at the belt nervously, taking a step back and whimpering. "You're not gonna spank me, are you?" Cassie's buttcheeks were relative strangers to spankings. For now.

“Of course not. You’re not a child…” It seemed like there was more to what Emma was going to say. 

Cassie sighed with relief, unaware just how terrible things were about to get with Emma. "Thank you so much. Wanda doesn't always think so. She treats me like I'm helpless sometimes."

“...You’re a dog. A bitch. And I’ll treat you as such.”Emma finished, moving to wrap the belt around Cassie’s throat as a makeshift leash. 

Cassie didn't even have time to protest that description, suddenly gagging and desperately trying at the belt which threatened to choke her. "I... I-I... I can barely b-breathe..."

“You want me to make it tighter?” Emma taunted as she did just that. Cassie choked loudly, going a bit red in the face as she shook her head and whimpered. She took quick breaths, getting just enough air to keep from passing out.

Emma smiled down at her leashed pet. “Now bark for me.” Cassie looked up at her with tears in her eyes, letting out a little yip as her blush grew. She felt humiliated... which wasn't new, but this was certainly a new experience in general. 

“Is that the loudest you can bark, girl?” Emma even spoke to Cassie like she was a dog. This was a form of degradation she didn’t even do to Wanda. Something about her tone broke something inside Cassie. After a pretty awful day, the pure condescension in her voice just shattered whatever confidence Cassie might've had left. So she let a tear fall down her face and barked a little louder, though she couldn't get much out given the tightness of the leash.

For a moment Emma mockingly frowned, dissapointed. A simple glance over Cassie’s thoughts made it apparent that the poor girl already felt so broken. But Emma knew from personal experience that you could always break someone far beyond what that person thought possible and that made the White Queen feel a little better. “Now get on all fours. I’m going to take you for a walk.” She tugged at the leash to make Cassie budge. 

Deep down, Cassie wanted to shake her head and plead for her dignity, but in real life, she just dropped to all fours and looked up expectantly. She didn't say a word, just waited for a command.

As if she read her mind (because she did), Emma said: “You may plead if you wish. In fact I prefer you do. Afterall, communication is key in the realm of bondage.” She didn’t mean for consent. She just meant that she’d always preferred to hear her victims beg her to stop or express just how much pain they were in. She could always telepathically tell but it was funner to hear it out loud.  

Cassie's lip quivered, actually having the self-awareness to realize she was being toyed with. "P-please don't do this... Everyone will think I'm a loser..." She choked out, despite still not getting enough air.

That made Emma smile. And then she began to walk, tugging Cassie along. The girl began to silently sob as she walked past various people, trying to ignore the mocking words from people like Elektra and the Hydra girls, and even feeling embarrassed from the more sympathetic glances she got from Julia. She just couldn't bear the thought that all these people were seeing her degrade herself like this.

Illyana Rasputin was outright laughing at this creative form of bullying, looking at Dani and Rahne like she’d just been given an idea on what to start doing with them to make sure they didn’t get too used to her torment. 

Cassie only felt worse as she realized her own situation would be resulting in terrible things for those girls, continuing to crawl and wish she could walk on her own legs again. "So I just have to walk through the courtyard, then I can go?"

“If I feel like it. Maybe I’ll keep you until the guards escort you back to your cell.” Emma replied as she walked through the yard in a style that seemed more like she was on a gentle stroll through Central Park on a warm summer day…instead of in prison. 

Cassie whimpered at that, lowering her head so that nobody could see her. And tried to think about other things. She thought about her family on the outside, about her father who probably missed her so much. She thought about Kate and how sweet she was. Maya and how their game nights made up for all the torture. She began to think of Gwen, the girl who got her off and showered her with so many compliments.

And then her thoughts seemed to shift…

She thought about her family seeing her like this. How disappointed her father would be disappointed in her. How Kate had surely abandoned her to go sleep with Yelena, a woman who’d made Cassie lick her underwear. About every cruel act that Maya did to her. And that then how Gwen…well to be honest the thoughts about Gwen were pretty much the same but refocused slightly to how creepy the girl was. 

Emma was of course responsible for this subtle manipulation of her mind. 

Cassie's little mental escape quickly turned into a nightmare, more tears falling a the horrible image of her father shaking his head and turning away. At Kate smirking and laughing at her while Yelena ate her out.

At an image of Maya forcing her prosthetic leg up her ass while making Cassie take all her turns for her. At Gwen smiling creepily at the sight of a naked Cassie being violated in the showers. Finally she stopped, dropping onto her stomach and full on crying. "Stop! I need to stop!"

“Whatever is the matter? Is the leash too tight?” Emma feigned complete ignorance to being responsible. It was notable how well she acted like she was genuinely concerned about the leash. 

Cassie looked up at her with a pretty pitiful expression. "I can't take it anymore. Please, just... It is, but it's also everything. I don't wanna be here anymore..."

“I’ve had you for the span of ten minutes and already you’re like this? You’re making me disappointed, peanut.” Using a nickname she’d acquired from Cassie’s memories was a horrific low. 

Cassie flinched at that word, something she'd almost blocked out to keep from breaking down before. The memory of her loving father was a rough one given the situation, and it was one that had the girl reverting back to her desperate-to-please mode. "I... I'm sorry. I can do better. I promise!”

Disappointment. That was what Cassie seemed to be afraid of more than any prison dom. And so Emma played to that. “I’m not sure you can. You just seem too weak…”

Cassie bit her lip, then forced herself up and began to walk again. "I can, mistress. Just... maybe loosen the leash a little bit? Please? I'll be good..."

Emma leaned in close and actually did loosen it solely because she’d learned Cassie’s true torture wasn’t going to be anything physical. Cassie took a deep breath, enjoying the extra air and crawling in silence, trying to be good and obedient for her current mistress.

They resumed the walk until, abruptly, Emma sat down on a bench and said: “I want you to tell me the most embarrassing secret that you have.”

Cassie sat on her legs, blushing and squirming nervously. She knew better than to disobey though. Emma was a telepath after all… "I once... touched myself to a video of... of my step-mom... where she accidentally ripped her costume while growing to normal size." She then realized that the story was easy to 'misunderstand.' "It's not what you think though. I just... I'm not... into women that way. I'm not into my step-mom. It wasn't like that. I was just... exploring the internet."

Emma knew first hand the kinks of numerous incredibly wealthy people (which she couldn’t name unless she wanted to end up dead). Some were tame and others were more out there. And then there were some which rightfully would haunt the dreams of any normal person. Even if Cassie did have a thing for her step-mom it would have been so far from the worst thing Emma knew that it practically rendered it tame. But it was adorable that Cassie was so shy about her little deviance. “I’m sorry but I need you to speak up. I don’t think I heard you correctly.”

Cassie looked truly ashamed as she struggled to get the words out of her mouth. "I found a video of my step-mom accidentally ripping her costume and I touched myself. It was probably just a self-insert thing. M-maybe I like being embarrassed. I don't know..." If there's anything the Raft had proved, it was that Cassie hated being embarrassed.

The telepathic dominatrix wasn’t easy to fool. So she wasn’t buying a word of Cassie’s excuse. With a regal nod, she decreed: “Now tell everyone in the yard.”

Cassie's face became a deep shade of red as she was given the order, taking a couple deep breaths and shaking her head. "I... I can't. I... What if she hears about it? I've never told anyone!"

“You just told me so it can’t be that hard.” Emma rolled her eyes and she once again glanced at her nails. 

Cassie looked around, face growing redder by the second. "I don't have a strong voice. Barely anyone will hear me..."

“I’m certain that you will find a way to manage.” Emma sighed as if Cassie were being unreasonable. 

Cassie buried her face in her hands, took another deep breath, then literally began to shout in an effort to make Emma proud. "I touched myself to a video of my step-mom losing her clothes." The yelling seemed to zap her energy, or maybe it was the sheer embarrassment. Either way, she slumped down as if a villain had stolen her powers.

Half of the yard seemed to stop and turn to look at Cassie while the other half didn’t really care. Surprised by the source of the proclamation. 

“I knew you were a freak!” Titania exclaimed from the back.

Cassie lowered her head, as if she could hide from Titania, then looked to Emma, desperate for any sort of approval. She'd just revealed one of her biggest secrets to half the prison. The least she could get was a smile. A nod even.

Knowing what she wanted, Emma ignored Cassie’s gaze entirely. Feeling her heart begin to sink, Cassie stood up, briefly wincing at the soreness in her butt. "Is there anything else I can do for you, mistress?"

Emma snapped her fingers and then seemingly out of nowhere one of the Stepford Cuckoos stepped forward with a vibrator in hand. The White Queen proceeded to brandish the sex toy like a weapon, letting Cassie fear what she would do with it. 

Cassie felt a mix of emotions. On the one hand, Titania had blueballed her earlier, so a vibrator wasn't the worst sight in the world. But then again, this was Emma, so…

“It may be best if you turn around for this.” Emma said to Cassie while rudely dismissing her younger clone with a simple wave. 

Immediately theorizing about what Emma was going to do, Cassie took a couple nervous, pained steps backwards. "W-wait, Ms. Frost. Nebula just shoved her whole fist up my butt. I... I've never felt this sore before. I'm limping... I think she seriously damaged something. Maybe you could take me to the infirmary before putting anything up there?"

“I will gladly have someone escort you to the infirmary…after I’m done with you. Now be a very good girl and do what you’re told.” Emma coldly replied. 

Cassie felt her cheeks flush at the words 'very good girl,' something inside her craving to be called such a thing. So with a whine, she turned around and presented her rear end for stuffing. "I'm sorry, mistress... Thank you for letting me go to the infirmary after this, mistress..."

The tip of the vibrator stroked gently down Cassie’s back and then between her buttcheeks. Emma didn’t yet do anything to shove it inside. She waited, letting the dread build and build. Savouring the fear she could feel emanating from Cassie. And then in went the vibrator.  

Cassie shrieked as it was shoved into her sore asshole, the once prissy, now kind of just pathetically submissive brunette grabbed handfuls of bare buttcheek, holding them as if it would lessen the bad feelings as she turned back to Emma. "Did I do good?"

“That depends entirely on how you react to what happens next…” Emma turned the vibrator. It flickered on, shaking and jostling between her firm cheeks. Was it painful? Very! But the pain was only amplified by the constant, jolting, movements of the toy. 

Cassie yelped as the vibrations began, whining softly as this worsened the pain, but she made a point to be as silent as she possibly could. She wanted to stay on Emma's good side.

But silence didn’t endear her to Emma. Quite the contrary. It bored her. And she didn’t like being bored. Silence meant defiance and that was something that needed to be stamped out with extreme prejudice. Absolutely no one defied her. 

She grabbed Cassie by her hair, ripping at it as she was violently dragged in close. Cassie’s head was thrown back so Emma could look down at her. “You’re pathetic. Actually, you’re less than pathetic. You’re nothing. An insignificant, snivelling, little whore. Nobody cares about you. And why should they?”

Cassie stared in shock as Emma unleashed her verbal tirade, but once she was done... Cassie suddenly burst into tears, dropping to her knees and moving her hands from her aching butt to her sadness stained face. "Maybe you're right... I don't have anybody in here. I got taken from Maya. Kate left me for Yelena. Even Gwen didn't stick around..."

“Even your friend, Amy, didn’t she get off on your pain?” Emma rubbed it in. 

Cassie choked out another sob as she nodded. "I... I was just a thing to her. She wanted to hear about the horrible things Maya did..."

Now they were really getting somewhere. Emma was getting to revel in the feeling that Cassie had absolutely no one. Making the victim feel isolated, like they were dirty and didn’t deserve to live, was one of her usual steps. “The truth, Cassie, is that you’re simply unremarkable, unalluring, and ultimately unloveable. Looking at you makes me feel sorry really because I’ve never seen someone so worthless.”

Cassie was beyond hopeless at this point, feeling totally and utterly destroyed. But still she had the presence of mind to at least recognize Emma was getting off on her pain, just like Amy was.

The platinum blonde honestly didn't care what happened to her at this point. She "knew" nobody would care if Emma took her to the showers and permanently took her out. So mustering what little strength she had, she looked up at Emma, tried to spit in her face... but missed and simply hit the woman's chest instead.

Would Emma react like most, with a violent fury that came with harming Cassie even more? That’s how Wanda and Maya would. The response was simply silence followed by an agonisingly long pause which let what Emma Frost’s reaction could be linger in a void of uncertainty. She didn’t say a word, as if calculating what to do. There was no hint of emotion behind her eyes as she glared down at Cassie. Neither insult nor rage or anything that resembled the reaction the girl feared would come. 

The subtlest of smirks crept over Emma’s mouth as she calmly shut her eyes. “I honestly didn’t think you had it in you. I dare say I’d be almost impressed if you’d actually managed to do something right for once and hit me in the face as you intended. Unfortunately, as per usual for you, you failed.”

Cassie finally just fell onto her back, moaning softly as the vibrator did its thing in her aching asshole, broken by the White Queen...

But this still wasn’t over with. With a tired sigh, Emma rested once again on the bench while she watched the pitiful form of Cassie writhing on the ground. Letting the girl shake as the device continued to jostle between her bouncing cheeks. It was a nice sight to enjoy while she prepared for the next part… “Come here.”

Cassie didn't respond. She didn't so much as turn towards Emma. It wasn't that she was trying to disobey. She just didn't care anymore. The White Queen recognised this stage. Everyone went through it and she had a ranking of the best she’d seen. Wanda Maximoff’s had been particularly fun. At this stage they needed to be called back or the torment would be over with too quickly. Although she hated using telepathy to make people do things (it was just too easy), she mentally commanded Cassie to get up. A booming order that rang through Cassie’s head. 

Cassie's eyes shot open wide as she forced herself to her feet, walking over to Emma and standing still before her. "Yes, mistress..."

Extending her right leg out, Emma pointed down to her foot. “Hump” She almost sounded bored. Even as Cassie cringed, she dropped to her knees and began obediently started humping her pussy against the woman's foot. She let out small whimpers, due to the humiliation, the strange feeling in her crotch, and the awful pain in her ass.

“Don’t be shy now. Afterall, you hardly seemed to mind when it was Titania’s leg. I’m certain you must be desperate to cum.” After the day Cassie had had, it was hard to tell if Emma actually would let her get off or not, but she didn't care. She decided to just focus on the pleasure she felt, lost to her own lusts after having been broken by so many dominant women. It was genuinely hard to tell if she'd ever be quite the same after today.

The sight of seeing Cassie humiliate herself in such a manner, to see someone so innocent be so completely unshy in their desire, was the closest thing to mutual pleasure Emma would allow between them. And so she did nothing but idly enjoy the feeling of Cassie’s wetness pool against her skin as the girl did what she did. 

Cassie began humping harder, moaning louder, not caring or not noticing the fact that a crowd had begun to form to watch her embarrass herself. She just desperately rubbed against her mistress' foot, pushing out all thoughts that didn't have to do with this moment. 

The virgin Cassie Lang that first entered the Raft seemed a thousand lifetimes ago by now. Like a completely different person. She’d never have imagined that she’d be in the prison yard rubbing her pussy against one of the most despicable women on the planet in full view of at least a hundred other people and not care. She’d been through countless terrible things and yet things always seemed to get worse.

“You will remember to clean up your mess when you’re done, yes?” Emma asked.

Despite trying to ignore the humiliation, despite how broken she felt, Cassie still sounded pretty embarrassed as she replied with a shaky "yes, mistress." She didn't care what the consequences would be, she didn't care about putting on a show. She just humped and moaned and whimpered and, finally, she came right onto the blonde villainess' foot.

Emma felt the spray of Cassie’s juices and let out another of her signature sighs as Cassie proceeded to lick up her cum. “Satisfied now?” Cassie only silently nodded in response, lowering her head and praying she'd be left alone forever. Of course that was when Emma asked: “And I suppose you now believe we are done?” What else could she possibly have left to do? 

Cassie's lip quivered as she began to shake her head. She actually did believe they were done, but wasn't about to embarrass herself, or, worse, displease her mistress. 

“Earlier you spat on me. Naturally, that is hardly something I can simply allow to go unpunished coming from a woman as low in station as you. But first you may remove the vibrator from your ass.” Said the dominatrix with nothing better to do than torment people. 

A few tears began to stream down Cassie's face as she was informed of her impending punishment, even as she reached back and began fishing around her aching asshole for the vibrator. "I'm so sorry for spitting on you. That was so horrible. Can you please forgive me without punishing me?"

Cassie really did feel sorry, and not just because she was about to be punished for her actions. This pitiful, beaten down version of Cassie genuinely regretted being cruel to her manipulative dom. She finally retrieved the vibrator, letting out only a tiny sight of relief as she did. She was still unbelievably sore.

“I could perhaps forgive you without punishment…but why would I want to do that?” Emma laughed at the notion. Plebeians always said the funniest things. Like asking her to stop because she’d pushed in too deep or demanding the rich be taxed. 

Cassie sniffled and wiped away a few of her tears. "Because I'm sorry, and I'll never do it again. I promise!" She really thought she could get through to this woman. She really thought she'd be able to conclude this horrific day without a horrific punishment for her bratty actions.

“I’m certain you won’t. But I don’t care. Put the vibrator in your mouth.” Emma said casually. 

Cassie nearly choked when she heard those words, on both her tears and on the phantom taste that hit her tongue. This wasn't the first time she'd shoved something into her mouth after it was in her ass, but as she did as commanded, she discovered it was still just as disgusting as the first time.

She let out a pitiful little cry, then struck a submissive pose, sitting on her knees and looking up at Emma with soft, almost adorable eyes. She was presenting herself to her mistress.

Emma smiled down at her. “I appreciate your spineless willingness to be punished, but I think this would be more efficient if you were laying on my lap…” Cassie knew exactly what that meant, lowering her head once again before obediently getting over her lap, asshole tasting vibrator still planted in her mouth.

Resting her hand down on Cassie’s bare buttcheek, Emma gave it a rough squeeze as she began to monologue:

“There are countless things I miss about my freedom. Sex with men, the ability to travel anywhere at my whim, my favourite whip, wearing clothes that come in a colour other than orange. But I especially miss the way I could turn my skin into diamond. I’m of course stunning as it is, but it was an ability that truly accentuated my beauty. I suppose it is lucky for you the collar around my neck makes it impossible though or else I’d spank you in that form.”

Cassie winced at the squeeze, something that only drew attention to just how much she was hurting down there. "Yes, Mistress. I'm very lucky." She replied, with Emma pulling the vibrator out just slightly so that she may speak. 

“Don’t lie to me, darling. I know just how much you hate me. At least have the courage to say it instead of being such a snivelling damsel.” Again, the White Queen’s advice was hardly because she wanted to help. She just liked it when they fought and hoped that Cassie had just a little left. 

Cassie seemed to think over her next words, but in reality, she was just distracted by the taste still in her mouth. In a muffled voice thanks to the vibrator, she looked up at this woman she hated deep down, and just shook her head and said something unexpected. "You're punishing me to make sure I don't act out again. I should be thanking you..."

“I now understand why Wanda claimed you. You’re both pathetic sluts for punishment.” Emma commented just before she raised her hand high and then delivered the first spank. 

Cassie blushed at that, the tiny bit of self worth that she had disappearing further as she began to believe that, then yelped at the first smack. "How many... are you gonna give me?"

“That depends on how many you think you deserve since you’re so grateful that I’m doing this.” 

Cassie immediately looked concerned, realizing what she'd gotten herself into. She wasn't willing to get too many spankings, but didn't wanna go too low. "Five more? Since it didn't hit your face?"

“True, but just five? You did disrespect me . Don’t you think you deserve more than five for that?” Emma wondered just how high she could make the number that Cassie would subject herself to. At the moment it seemed as if a hundred was possible. 

Cassie didn't want to think she deserved more... but she did. "T-ten?"

“Is that all?” Emma turned on her disapproving voice again. 

Cassie whimpered softly yet again, heart shattering at the lack of approval most of all. "Twenty!"

“On both cheeks? What a delightful idea.” That hadn’t been what Cassie was suggesting at all but Emma filled in the meaning she liked most and then promptly got straight to slapping Cassie’s sore butt redder, alternating from cheek to cheek in brutal succession. She left no time to breathe or scream between blows. She was a master of delivering a devastating slap and it showed. 

Cassie instantly began to scream as she received the worst spanking of her entire life. Today had a lot of worsts in it. She thrashed around pathetically, accidentally spitting out the vibrator as she took her punishment. By the time Emma was done, Cassie's cheeks were a deep shade of red, handprints all over them. That, on top of her brutal penetration at the hands (or hand) of Nebula, ensured she wouldn't willingly be sitting down for a long time. "I'd like... to go now..."

“I’m bored of you so yes you may now go.” Standing up and elegantly straightening her jumpsuit, Emma wrapped up her torture session as if nothing had happened at all. Because to her it hadn’t. It truly had been no different than countless encounters before. “Oh and keep the vibrator. I have no use for anything that went up your rear.” It was an extremely rare item of contraband that she gave away without a second thought because she knew she had others. 

Cassie nodded shyly, grabbing the vibrator and running off with it. She ran to find her clothes, and then a quiet corner to lay down on her stomach, fiery red and burning rear end up in the air as she began to cry. She clutched the vibrator tight in her hand, just needing something to hold as she sobbed into her arm. Unlike Emma, Cassie felt like a different person now that their time was done. Any good parts of this day (Gwen) had faded away in her mind, replaced solely with confidence eradicating humiliation.

————————————————————— 

It was maybe two minutes before Cassie had to deal with yet another person. Their exact identity she didn’t yet know, but automatically she was in no mood to deal with someone else. Today had proven by now that anyone who approached just wanted to find some way to abuse her. Cassie looked up with a defeated expression, locking eyes with her owner. With Wanda…

Then she buried her head back into her arm, not saying a word. She wasn't mad at her. She just didn't care anymore…

Wanda didn’t say anything to Cassie but she did sit beside her. Which honestly was worse than her saying some cruel threat. It seemed like surely she must have some cruel idea in mind, but she seemed to simply stare dead-eyed into empty space. As if just as shaken as Cassie. 

Cassie finally allowed herself to look back up, eyeing her with curiosity. It wasn't like her to not at least poke fun at her clearly abused ass. "Are you... okay?" Cassie didn't have the energy to comfort the woman who'd sold her to five different women. She just figured she'd ask.

The witch didn’t look back at Cassie and it seemed like she was ignoring her existence entirely until she said: “I’m fine.” That was starting to become her catchphrase. Even though she was obviously not fine. She was the farthest thing from fine.

Cassie placed her chin on her tear stained arm, biting her lip to keep from... doing just about anything really. "Me too..." Cassie then went silent again, staring out at the yard where she'd been tormented for so long.

Wanda hadn’t sought Cassie’s company specifically, but she just wanted to be away from Jean but still with someone. Her thoughts were too loud when she was alone, turning on her at every chance they got. She felt pointless, aimless. Her whole life had been marked by loss but she’d always had someone there to pull her out of the darkness. First it was her brother, then it was Natasha and Vision, but now she had no one. In prison she’d found an escape from her turmoil in the kitchen but she’d lost that too. 

A heavy silence hung over the two women, neither seeming to have the willpower to speak much. The despair between them both was thick, suffocating. If Wanda had been in her right mind she’d have turned to Cassie and pleaded for whatever forgiveness could be found for what she’d done to her. But she was too broken to see it. Too blinded by her rage at everyone who’d subjected her to a fate similar to Cassie’s.

Tears rolled down Wanda’s cheeks as she looked up at the walls of her prison and the guards that patrolled them. She knew she deserved to live the rest of her life in this cage and had no wish to escape. But she wanted the suffering she’d been put through to stop. 

Cassie didn't speak again, she just ignored the witch as she sat there, having no idea of the turmoil inside her. But if she did, would she feel bad? Could Cassie truly have sympathy for someone who put her through the exact same torment? They would never know, as Cassie finally just got up and limped away, really not wanting to be near the woman right now. But when did she ever?

At long last she went back inside, leaving the yard and all its pain and misery. With no place in mind on where she wanted to go, and knowing nowhere was truly safe, she wandered aimlessly through every place she could (except Cellblock D where the nazis were). The events of Cassie’s day flashed through her mind, hauntingly replaying on loop. 

“HIYA!” Gwendolyn Poole suddenly yelled at the top of her lungs, popping out from her cell as Cassie passed. 

Cassie jumped before whipping around to face Gwen. Before her encounter with Emma, Cass would've been thrilled to see the girl again, but now? "Hi, Gwen..." She said blankly, before turning back and resuming her walk down the hall.

Always oblivious, Gwen had no idea what had Cassie so glum. Especially when they’d had so much fun together just a couple hours ago. Seeing her like this made her worried. “Are you ok?” She asked, sounding genuinely concerned as she followed behind Cassie. 

Cassie stopped in her tracks, the genuine concern in Gwen's voice breaking through Cassie's freshly made walls. She turned around, tears pouring once again as she shook her head. "No..."

“Do you want to talk about it?” Gwen’s lonely life in the real world didn’t exactly leave her with much experience soothing others, but she did her best. And right now she wanted to help Cassie in whatever way she could. 

That question was enough to make Cassie throw herself at Gwen, wrapping her arms around her in a tight hug. Being this close to someone in a voluntary way again felt... nice. "I really don't, but maybe we could talk about normal stuff? A-and you could say more nice things about me?" It said a lot about Cassie that her next thought was 'does that sound selfish?'

The hug was of course more than welcome and Gwen was beaming to be the emotional support to an actual celebrity. “Ok! Well I think you’re really sweet and cool and I mean how can you not be badass? I know MODOK is a joke villain but you still kind of defeated him and that’s more than I could do.”

Cassie actually smiled for the first time in... well maybe since the last time she and Gwen talked. "T-thank you..  You're always so... Wait, how'd you hear about MODOK?" More of that weirdness... but in a prison with some of the worst people on Earth, weird was okay. Though she did have a concern. "What exactly did you do to end up here?"

“Oh I robbed an aquarium!” Gwen cheerily replied, having realised she had no good reason to explain how she knew about the events of Quantumania and trying to shift the topic as fast as possible. Plus she still felt pretty cool about the intentionally unsuccessful robbery and liked to bring it up whenever she could. 

Cassie was worried for a moment, but honestly... robbing an aquarium was a thousand times better than what most people were in here for. So she sighed and decided to go with the chaos. "Cool. So, uh... what do you usually do for fun around here?"

“A lot. I talk about stuff with my cellmate…well actually I more talk at her and she listens but you know what I mean…watch sitcoms, masturbate, um try to have sex. Actually it’s mostly the last one. It’s way harder than it looks in movies to seduce people!” Gwen answered in her own rambly way. 

Cassie smiled at the first two things. This girl was cute... when she wasn't talking about sex constantly. Why did she find herself so fixated on that last part? "Oh? And h-how many people have you... done it with?" She was just curious.

Gwen, of course, had a list. “That depends on what you mean. I’ve eaten a guard out five times, been anally penetrated six, was facesat twice (both times by Yelena), licked Sylvie’s ass once, and then there was you earlier today! I still haven’t been able to cum though. It’s a super bummer.”

Cassie being Cassie, she immediately felt bad as she had no idea how someone could enjoy that. "I am so sorry to hear that. You so don't deserve that." She was referring to the horrific sounding encounters, but also felt bad about the last part as well. If she hadn't just been forced to pleasure so many people in awful ways..."Um... maybe the two of us could... Maybe we could, uh... help comfort each other in here. After we've had to, um... do stuff?"  

“You want to have lesbian sex with me again?!” Gwen asked, wording it as awkwardly as possible. She looked like she was about to pass out from excitement. 

Cassie actually gasped upon hearing that, cringing at the girl's choice of words and even blushing as well. "That's not what I... I'm not... I don't... I..." She took a breath to compose herself, then locked eyes with Gwen. "I'm not into girls in that way. I'm sorry. I hope I didn't get your hopes up."

“Oh…” Gwendolyn sounded disappointed for a singular second then was back to her peppy self. “No problem! We don”t have to have sex. We can be friends! Wait no that sounds bad because everyone always says that and then never keeps in touch but I mean it honestly. I really want to be your friend.” She grinned. “And maybe things will escalate between us and we can be best friends!” She meant that in the sapphic way. 

Cassie took this statement at face value, grinning widely in return. "Yeah! That would be great! It's been so long since I've had a best friend." The blonde then gave Gwen another hug. The blonde really knew how to lift her spirits, Cassie already developing quite the emotional bond with her new friend. If she allowed herself to really think about these feelings, she'd have realized she'd never felt this way about a girl before.



Notes:

How would you rank each of Cassie’s encounters in this chapter?

Chapter 38: The Thunderbolts*

Summary:

Offered a deal by Val to reduce the brutally unfair prison sentence of her girlfriend, Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova teams up with a misfit crew of criminals -- Taskmaster, Ghost, X-23, Songbird, and Titania -- to embark on a covert mission in the infamously lawless nation of Madripoor to bring down the Power Broker. With enemies around every corner, trauma galore, and the kind of lust only a group of newly released inmates would know, what trouble won’t the Thunderbolts* get into?

Chapter Text

A kick to the metal frame of her bunk woke Yelena Belova up, the clanging reverberating in her ears. “Whowhatthefuck?” She stirred, her hands flying up defensively out of habit.

“So how’s the whole cocky Russian ‘I can protect Kate’ thing working out for you?” Warden Valentina Allegre de Fontaine smirked down at her.

Yelena covered herself up even though she was completely clothed. “What are you doing sneaking up on me?” The shock of being woken up suddenly had confused her. “What are you talking about?”

“I said bad things would happen to that poor little cellmate of yours and then they did. You didn’t think that was an accident did you?” Val had a lot of confidence by standing in Yelena’s cell openly admitting to harming Kate. “The guards could have intervened at any time. We actually got the whole thing on the cameras. But I guess you didn’t need them to help because, and I quote, ‘Kate will be safe with you.’ Is being mind-fucked by Wanda Maximoff what you consider safe?”

The anger that had slowly dissolved roared its head again tenfold. Yelena got up from the bed in one swift motion, the numerous guards around Val being the only reason she didn’t wrap her arms around her throat immediately. Instead, she kept a safe distance but clenched her fists. “You did this?!”

Val shrugged. “Well Wanda did the work, but I did give the order to not stop her. What can I say, you left me no choice.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Yelena’s spit landed on Val’s cheek as she spoke.

Val gave a bitter smirk while she wiped the saliva off her face. “Offering to reduce her sentence was the carrot, but I guess you wanted the stick. So this is how this is gonna work, you either join the Thunderbolts or…” Val held up a portable SWORD holoscreen that showed live footage of Kate in a bed in the infirmary. “...something a lot worse than a magic orgy will happen to her. It’s tragic how many accidental overdoses happen in prisons.”

Finally Yelena understood. This had all been a setup. Her jaw tightened. She realised she had become her own worst nightmare. Loving someone made her weak. Loving Kate made her a pawn in the prison system that she had been above for so long. Try as she might, there was nothing Natasha could do for her or Kate in this situation. Her eyes connected with Val’s, cold and hard. “Fine. What is the mission?”

————————————————————— 

One month later…

It was early morning, with sunlight just starting to shine through the skylights of the Raft's main cellblock, when teams of guards came to the cell of six selected prisoners. The breakfast klaxon wasn’t going to ring for another five minutes, so most inmates in the block were still asleep. The guards worked quickly, roughly rousing their targets from slumber if that was necessary, securing them in handcuffs and ankle shackles, and walking them briskly, and in most cases, still-half asleep, out of the block.

In the back of the line was Ava Starr, aka Ghost. As a child she’d been given the remarkable, yet dangerous, ability to phase through matter in a horrific experiment gone wrong that left her orphaned. SHIELD took her in and began to train her in espionage so that she may deal with threats that proved too dangerous for conventional operatives, all the while promising they were working on a cure for her condition. But as the years went by, and she grew more and more unstable, she slowly realised that they never had any intention of curing her. When SHIELD collapsed she was left abandoned once again and eventually slipped further into criminal activities in pursuit of a cure. Unfortunately, while her abilities were stabilized by Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2019, they also turned her over to SWORD. Given life in prison, she’d been locked up in The Raft ever since. Which was exactly why she jumped at the smallest chance to get out…but she was no less tired. 

Ghost couldn’t help but stumble along, still groggy after being ripped from the limited comfort of her bunk where she’d been using Darcy Lewis’ generously endowed tits as a much more comfortable pillow than the ones the prison provided.

Ahead of her was Antonia Dreykov, better known by the name Taskmaster. The daughter of General Dreykov, the leader of the Red Room, she was left on the verge of death by Black Widow and turned into a living weapon by her father. Even though he was dead, and the Red Room with him, she still was scarred inside and out from what he’d done to her. The chip he’d implanted in her head that gave her the ability to mimic any fighting style she saw was still embedded deep in her brain. In prison she’d become something of a feared, yet respected, enforcer. Someone who much preferred to keep to herself but certainly would beat up just about anyone for the right amount of cigarettes. 

She was already awake before the klaxon – as was her habit. She submitted readily to the chains, and walked out with her head held high, showing none of the lethargy on display among her...comrades? Having always worked alone, she wasn’t sure how to think of the other women she was to work with.

Similarly traumatised by a majority of her life being spent without any bodily autonomy, but nowhere near as receptive to the early awakening, was Project X-23, or Laura Kinney as she preferred. She was emphatically not a morning person. So much so that the guards had to practically manhandle her into position to get her into the chains, much to her cellmate's delight. “You probably don’t care right now, but you look so hot in those chains!” Gwendolyn Poole had said, way too excitedly as she watched Laura get aggressively removed from their cell.

Just as annoyed as Laura was Titania. And she was more than happy to voice her complete displeasure with being woken up a moment earlier than the usual unfairly early time she was forced to get up at. She needed her beauty rest after all. Her tired whining, though, went entirely ignored by the guards.

By the guards, but not Dazzler. "Shut up!" The pop-star yelled from the top bunk in an unusually moody tone, shutting her eyes and trying to fall back asleep. She couldn’t believe she was actually getting a break from Titania! 

Next up was Melissa Gold, aka Songbird. When she was a child, her mother was sent to prison for robbery. Overwhelmed by the abuse from her drunken, deadbeat father, Melissa ran away from home at 14. Eventually she fell in with the wrong crowd and took the rap for her boyfriend, resulting in a stint in Ryker’s. When she got out she joined up with a fellow ex-con and, long story short, ended up with sound based superpowers that she used to commit crimes that landed her in a place way worse than Ryker’s, The Raft. On day 1 she joined Hydra and pledged her eternal allegiance to bullshit about Aryan purity.  

She’d screeched in surprise, in a pitch that surely would have shattered glass if not for her collar, as the guards abruptly entered her cell and pulled her from her bunk all while she gave them a delirious slur of curses. It wasn’t until she was bound in chains that she finally settled down.

And at the front of the line was Yelena Belova who needs absolutely no introduction. All that mattered was how uninterested she looked in being on the team, as if she’d been coerced (because she had). Still, she went without so much as an objection to the force used on her. She was tired. Of course she was tired. But this wasn’t the first time in her life she’d been in for a rude awakening and sent who knows where. And there was something, someone, more important than sleep.

The room they were brought to, which was usually where the prisoner intakes were performed, had been set up with a large holoscreen against the wall, a table of files, and beside them, everyone’s costumes. Warden Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, sunglasses on despite being indoors, already stood straight in her suit beside a caped hero dressed in black. Her alias was Thunderstorm and that was all she’d need to be known by.

(Breaking the 4th wall here, Thunderstorm is literally just Stormfront from the Boys)

There was a menacing air as she and the warden carefully eyed each of the inmates as they were brought in and made to stand in line in front of them. 

Even those that didn’t look like they were about to fall asleep still were far from enthused. But nonetheless Val had a speech prepared for them:

“There was an idea. To bring together a group of remarkable people, and see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to fight the battles that we never could. But that’s not this idea and you’re not those people. You’re actually all expendable trash that nobody wants anything to do with. Because each of you are worthless, forgettable, pieces of property belonging to the Raft…but you don’t have to be. In signing up for this, you’ve chosen to do something worthwhile. Congrats. You should be proud. For once in your life you have a purpose, and that purpose is serving the US Government. And hey in return you get some time off your sentence in the process, granted you don’t die of course.”

"You should become a motivational speaker." Laura snarked through a stifled yawn.

Ignoring Laura’s comment, Val activated the holoscreen. It depicted a map. “This is Madripoor, a small island nation off the coast of Indonesia. In the 19th century it became a pirate haven and over the last couple hundred years it's kept its criminal reputation. Which leads us to your target. Sharon Carter, a US fugitive who was believed dead back in 2018. Except it was discovered last year that this ‘dead woman’ had managed to take control of the criminal empire that served as the closest thing Madripoor had as a government…” Footage collected by SWORD agents showed Sharon in a vehicle watching as her mercenaries gunned down several loyalists of the previous gang. “…Although the US government did not condone her excesses…she proved willing to provide valuable information in return for clemency.”

"So your friendly client dictator got out of control, and we're the deniable hit squad you're sending to take her out? Never heard that one before." Ghost interjected. 

Thunderstorm chuckled. "Hey, at least it's just one squad of prisoners this time. In 03 it was the whole army."

Valentina gave a faux smile or amusement. “Actually, no. She has some…sensitive…information on several key figures that makes her of far more use to me alive than dead. Which makes your mission kidnapping her and bringing her to the extraction point. No matter the cost.” The location was indicated with a glowing red circle on the far end of the mapped out city. “If you’re wondering how you’re even going to get to Madripoor in the first place, a quinjet will take you just outside the border. From there you’ll navigate on foot to the road where we have a person on the inside waiting to deliver you to the city. This is Thunderst-“ the warden was abruptly cut off.

Hand raised as far as it could be in her shackles, Titania asked: “Wait, aren't you Thunderstorm?!”

Thunderstorm gave Titania an indulgent smile, skillfully hiding her disdain for the brown untermensch. She had become very good at hiding her feelings about her ‘lessers.’ "Yes, I am. I guess you're a fan?" She’d heard of Titania, but made the calculated snub of pretending she hadn't. 

“Like who isn’t?” Titania asked, oblivious to the fact that she was talking to a literal Nazi. “I’m sure you’ve heard of me too…”

"I've read all your files." Thunderstorm said in another calculated snub.

It worked, words getting deep under the influencer’s skin. “And seen me elsewhere I’m sure.” She added to Thunderstorm’s statement, refusing to believe that a fellow celebrity may not know who she was…again.

Val coughed to bring the topic back to the mission. “As I was saying, this is Thunderstorm. She’ll remain on the quinjet and monitor the situation. That also means she’ll only ever be just twenty minutes away from your location…” The second sentence was more of a threat than reassurance of back up. “And if any of you think of disobeying orders, we have this…” She held up a small device in her hand whose screen projected an image of each of the convicts.

“Anyone care to demonstrate for the class what it does?” Val asked sarcastically and then looked at Laura. “Thanks for volunteering.” She pressed the button below her image…

Laura had been on the verge of nodding off. "Huh? I didn't-YAAAA!" She cried out in pain and convulsed on the floor as the electricity racked her body. She was helpless and twitching in seconds.

Taskmaster’s eyes widened. She was usually stoic in demeanor, but she had a weakness for this kind of loss of bodily autonomy. It brought up painful flashes of her tormented upbringing. But to Yelena, watching Laura flop around like a fish was pretty funny. While the assassin didn’t love the idea of being on a leash, it was one she could accept for now.

Val’s purple lips curled into a sadistic smirk at the sight of seeing the prisoner writhing and growling like a wounded animal. It went on for what felt like forever (to Laura) but Val did, eventually, switch it off. “Thunderstorm will be trusted with this nifty little device while you’re on your mission. Don’t make her have to use it too much or you’re not getting that reduced sentence, got it? Good.”

Ghost raised her cuffed hand now. “Why doesn’t our team have anyone a little more impressive? I feel like two super-spies, a strong influencer, a girl who sings, a mutant with claws, and myself aren’t the best combination of people for the job.” It wasn't that she didn’t want to be there (she had no intention of dying in prison and was willing to do anything to get out), but she also didn’t feel like this team assured her survival.

“How do you know what everyone does?” Titania asked, perplexed. All members of the team had been provided a dossier containing relevant information like the abilities of their teammates. Everyone had read them…except Titania, who figured anything longer than a tweet wasn’t worth reading. 

Her question went ignored as Thunderstorm said: "Anyone more impressive would also be more well known. Deniability, remember? Plus, if all goes well, you ladies are earning parole, which is a possibility we don't wanna extend to the Hulk's cousin, or whatever Loki is calling himself these days."

“Herself.” Yelena corrected flatly, rather unimpressed by the ‘hero’ chosen to oversee the group. The assassin didn’t trust her one bit. But then again, she didn’t trust any hero that wasn’t Natasha or Kate.

Thunderstorm didn't acknowledge the correction. "So, any more questions?" She fully intended to meet stupid questions with shocks.

Speaking for the first time since entering the room, Songbird asked: “Earlier it was mentioned that we have to walk. Can you not just drop us off in the city?”

Thunderstorm rolled her eyes. "Carter will be expecting US intervention, she'll have people watching out for any signs of it. And a quinjet flying right up to her city will be a hell of a sign." She then gave Songbird about 2 seconds of low-intensity shock for that stupid question, which made the criminal shriek at the shock, her whole body jumping as pain shot through her nerves and then disappeared as fast as it came. "Anybody else?"

“Do we know the location of the target?” Yelena was the only one to ask an actual practical question. 

"Unfortunately, all attempts to nail her down have failed. She's got a real spy's paranoia, constantly changes her schedule and routine and never seems to sleep in the same place twice. Catching her in one place is gonna be part of your mission. We have some local contacts who can help you with that." Thunderstorm replied. She was really sick of having to answer questions. Just when she thought she was done, Titania opened her mouth. 

“Yeah so what’s our team name? Can I name us?” The influencer seemed excited by the prospect of the idea, already having just the name in mind…

Thunderstorm looked unimpressed, but asked: "What?"

“The….” Titania paused for a long period to build suspense for the ultimate team name “…Titaniacs!”

A beat passed. Everyone in the room went silent. Then Thunderstorm shocked Titania. "We're the Thunderbolts." She said as the influencer writhed on the floor.

————————————————————— 

It was jarring being back in a quinjet getting strapped down to their drop-pods by support staff. Reminiscent of when each of the incarcerated women had first arrived at The Raft, seemingly so very long ago now. The morning sun had seemed to shine a little brighter beyond prison walls as it soared up through the endless golden horizon across the calm Atlantic Ocean. 

What was even more strange, though, was being back in their own clothes and not the, now, all too familiar orange jumpsuits that constituted their only wear. 

Laura’s clothes weren’t really well suited for this kind of mission: jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, a sleeveless jacket and a backpack. Still, she was more comfortable in those than in the jumpsuit. She shifted in her pod seat as a couple of technicians adjusted her harness (equal parts safety harness and restraint).

In the next seat over, Taskmaster sat completely still, not sure how to feel now that she was back in her armour: It was in this armour that she killed countless times on her father's orders in. She couldn’t remember all of it. Her will hadn’t been her own at the time and here she was again, being sent on a mission by authorities, with an implant in her head to control her behaviour. Albeit less directly now. 

Ghost’s all-white, high-tech bodysuit and mask were never all that comfortable, but it at least helped her better control her phasing. It was unusual to wear it again, or to have access to her abilities at all really. For so long she hated the curse she bore, but in prison it became a representation of her freedom when it was formerly her (metaphorical) prison. She stared at her hand as it flowed in and out of being entirely intangible in a desperate attempt to distract herself from the knot in her stomach. She hated flying. 

Titania cracked her neck, relieved to simply have her collar off. It had been giving her a serious neck ache ever since the day they put it on her. The clothes she was wearing when she first arrived at The Raft were tragically long gone because the guards had no appreciation for fashion (aka they were forced to cut it to ribbons because she refused to undress). Instead, she was wearing something from her personal collection pre-incarceration; a low cut shirt, dramatic pants, thigh thigh boots, an outrageous golden belt, and an absolutely fierce spiked purple leather jacket.

Songbird couldn’t believe she actually was getting to wear her suit again; a white and blue costume with a gold neckbrace which had a fuchsia stone embedded, two gold bracelets matching the appearance of her neck brace, and a belt with a pink circle. She’d committed so many crimes in this outfit! Just wearing it, she could feel the thrill of every bank robbery, chase, and fight against a low-level superhero. 

Sitting silently, Yelena felt a little happy to have her sleek black suit back on. Was it weird that she essentially went from an orange jumpsuit to a black one? Yes. But she didn’t care. It was an outfit she bought for herself. She even had her Widow Bite gauntlets back.

"ETA dropsite two minutes. Prepare to seal the pods." Thunderstorm warned. 

Titania’s eyes went wide as a sick feeling curled in her stomach. “Wait drop?” She asked, concerned. 

Thunderstorm rolled her eyes. The influencer was definitely one of the most annoying women of colour she’d had the displeasure of meeting. Normally by now she’d have fried her alive, but alas nowadays that was a hate crime. "Yes, drop. What the fuck do you think that pod is for?"

“Well I assumed they were just weird looking seats!” Titania nervously exclaimed. She was barely able to hear Yelena’s exasperated sigh over her own voice. 

The Black Widow assassin was already contemplating her decision to join the team with an idiot like Titania onboard. Thunderstorm noticed and gave Yelena an 'I know, right?' look. "Well, you've got a minute now, so brace yourself."

And then support staff began to seal the pods one by one. Titania breathed in deeply, trying to brace herself. “Y’know you could have at least given me a warning before we boarded!” But she wasn’t the only one who was nervous. Songbird was doing a terrible job at not shaking, and Ghost already looked pale and like she was about to faint. It was hardly a good look for The Raft’s toughened ex-cons. 

Meanwhile, Yelena, Taskmaster, and Laura were fine. Laura, in fact, was completely relaxed as her pod closed. And why shouldn't she have been? Even if something went wrong and she ended up as a red stain on the ground, that red stain would reconstitute into her. Healing factors tended to make one pretty casual about danger. Alternatively, Yelena, having fallen from the sky before during the destruction of the Red Room without so much as a parachute, found that it rendered this drop practically a slow glide down in comparison. “Just think of it this way. From this height if anything goes wrong you die immediately on impact.” She commented to her nervous teammates.  

Thunderstorm was the only one to laugh at Yelena's joke. She thought to herself that the woman was quite sharp. For a Slav. 

There was a tense moment as everyone prepared and then the quinjet soared over the drop point. Systems engaged. 3. 2. 1. But no amount of preparation would make the first time air-droppers ready for 

the complete hollow feeling in their stomach followed by the sense of weightlessness that hit them harder than any of them could expect as freefall began. 

Ghost had to shut her eyes as tight as possible while practically hyperventilating as they descended through the sky at a rapid pace. She then suddenly began to panic as she realised she’d half-phased through the restraints and had to quickly assure her whole body was even still in the pod at all. Songbird, who could literally fly, even found it to be sickening. And then there was Yelena who was practically smiling ear to ear as she made the quick, bumpy, fall down to Earth. She’d been on one rollercoaster in her entire life and this was way funner than that shit ride at the amusement park.

Ghost was just barely able to hold the contents of her stomach by the time the stability thrusters ignited and the Stark-designed pods started to slow (a feature that started once they were a certain distance from the ground). The thrusters guided each pod to the ground at a stable speed, slow enough that impact only created a painful jolt rather than a deadly one. A few moments passed and then the prisoner restraints and pod doors opened. 

“Never again!” Titania yelled without even taking in her surroundings yet. She practically ripped her way out. It turned out she was the first to stumble out, everything still spinning around her. 

“I really think…there…should be training for that…” Songbird gasped as she shakily started to step out and then promptly sat back down when she couldn't manage to get her legs to comply.

Laura, at least, knew to stay in her pod for a long moment though, resolved not to move until the world stopped moving around her. She was used to physical pain and trauma. This kind of disorientation was new though and she hated it. She ended up throwing up into the side of the pod. Which was surprising because the significantly sicker Ghost had at least managed to phase out and get behind a tree before doing the same. 

And, of course, Yelena, while a little dizzy, composed herself while casually stepping out. She actually wanted to do it again. “What? That was so much fun.” She meant that genuinely but it could easily have been read as sarcasm to her already weary teammates. Taskmaster got out like one may exit a car, and stood near Yelena. She meant it as a show of solidarity and readiness, though back in her armour and given their history, it came off more menacing.

Looking at everyone’s reactions (except Antonia), Yelena scoffed. “That was not bad. I hope for your sakes that no one at The Raft learns you’re all weak.”

Laura stood up slowly. "Fuck off, Yelena. Prison tough-girl rules stay in prison."

Yelena rolled her eyes. She really couldn’t believe almost everyone found it to be that bad. “The quicker we do this the quicker your sentences are shortened, yes? There is no time to be so dramatic.”

"Right, right, just...let me catch my breath..." Laura heaved. 

Titania, though, snapped at Yelena: “I’m never dramatic! It’s not my fault I’m not Black Widow’s less famous sister who doesn’t react normally to things.” As, beside her, Ghost came staggering from behind a tree and wiped her mouth. She briefly considered if it would be worth losing her chance at parole if she just killed Yelena here and now for being so bossy. 

The com units inside each woman's right ear then activated and Thunderstorm spoke. "Happy landings, ladies. Just checking in to make sure nobody went splat."

Yelena eyed Titania threateningly but chose to ignore her, instead replying to Thunderstorm. “So far we’re all in one piece.” She replied as Songbird abruptly made an absolutely awful shriek that formed two neon-pink wings on her back that she used to soar above the treeline. She never thought she’d feel fresh air against her skin again. To feel the wind as she flew. It was euphoric as she hovered, happily watching the city skyline in the distance, 

"Huh, 100% survival rate. That's 20% better than the crash test dummies." Thunderstorm’s tone made it totally ambiguous whether she was joking or serious. "Now hussle to Madripoor City before local police investigate the lights in the sky. And Songbird, get the fuck down. The American Six lost a member that way in Nicaragua."

All Songbird’s bliss at her freedom came crashing down and she could be heard asking: “Who the fuck are the American Six” while she bitterly descend back to the ground.

"American history education." Taskmaster snarked. 

With everyone more or less able to stand on two feet, the group began to navigate through the jungle towards the nearby road. Trudging through a hot, humid environment while fighting their way through the vines was unpleasant as it was. What really made the whole thing worse though was Titania’s droning on in the back of the group which seemed to be unceasing after the first mosquito bite. 

Walking close to Yelena at the front, Taskmaster had something to say and simply wanted as much distance from the annoying woman’s voice.. "[So it's rather clear we are the only two here with true operational experience. Three of our teammates are common criminals, and the other is a child.]" She said in Russian so that her words were only discernable to Yelena.

“[I don’t know why they let that idiot join.]” Yelena nodded, replying back in their mother tongue. “[Who do you think will die first?]” It was probably grim but she said it in jest (well only partially). She was guessing half the team would perish before the mission was over.

"[The Hollywood bitch, for certain.]" Taskmaster said without hesitation. "[And perhaps the screamer. The ghost and the healer, I think, will survive. As will we, if we work together well.]"

“[We’ll be fine. I did not escape the Red Room to die working for the American government.]” Yelena said as they pushed through the thick brush of greenery. “[What will you do when you’re paroled?]”

Taskmaster paused. "[I don't know yet. I don't know enough about the...state of the world to decide.]" She’d gone straight from childhood, to being her father's remote-control killbot, to prison. She hadn’t had much time to learn about the world except for her childhood education and assassin indoctrination. "[I'll cross that bridge when I arrive at it.]" And her prison education, where she picked up handy American idioms like that.

“[Was that an expression? Good for you.]” Yelena smiled, noticing the small way in which Antonia had adapted to not being a scary murder-robot person. 

Taskmaster felt more proud than she expected at Yelena's approval. "[What about you? When you are paroled, I mean.]”

Yelena’s smile faltered slightly as she paused, walking in sudden total silence as she tried to figure out how to answer that question. A thick cloud of awkwardness hung over them before she stated flatly: “[I won’t be paroled.]”

"[What? Why not? You’re not expecting to die here.]” Taskmaster asked in complete surprise. 

Yelena let out a loud laugh at that. “[Ha! I’m way too talented for that. When this is over they will take time off my girlfriend’s sentence.]”

"Oh..." Taskmaster genuinely didn’t know how to respond to that. It was the sweetest thing she’d ever heard, which was something she was not equipped to process. "...Good luck."

“Thank you.” Yelena said, before adding a much less sweet note: “Kate Bishop is in too much danger of a fist up her ass in prison.” Taskmaster silently refrained from disagreement. 

Breaking through the jungle, the group reached the road, a broken highway that looks more like it had been pulled straight from Mad Max than currently serving as the main way into the neon, vaporwave city ahead. What few cars around were carcasses, the remnants of expensive vehicles which had either been gutted or ignited. Or both. 

"Woah...what happened here?" Laura asked, looking at the post apocalyptic road.

Songbird ran up to one of the nice cars that looked the least torn apart, a gaudy vehicle that proved wealth didn’t buy class, where she found blood staining the front seats. “Bummer that this beauty is busted. Not like anyone would be around to report it stolen…”

“I have a feeling things don’t get reported stolen around here.” Ghost remarked. 

Yelena raised her finger to activate the com unit in her ear. “You said someone would bring us into the city. I don’t see anyone. Alive anyway.” There was a charred body on the side of the road.

"Good things come to those who wait.” Thunderstorm replied. “Your contact is on his way, just sit tight and don't look conspicuous."

Yelena nodded and turned to the group. “She says we wait but the ride is on their way.”

“How long do we have to wait?” Titania impatiently asked with yet another whine to her tone. She’d barely been able to deal with the traumatising time she had to wait two whole minutes for her Uber.

More than half an hour passed before a lone van trundled up the road, finding Laura and Yelena in the middle of a weirdly competitive game of eye-spy, Titania fruitlessly pitching a collab over the radio to Thunderstorm, and the other three sat behind the traffic barriers quietly.

-

The streets of Madripoor’s inner city were busy with every manner of criminal imaginable walking along the dark pavement and through alleyways, their shapes illuminated sparingly by the glow of neon letters and signs above. The pulse of music from the nightclubs blared louder than the shattering of a window as someone was abruptly thrown from the third story and a seemingly random passerby shot them in the head. Arguing could be heard on the other side of the street that escalated to a blade slashing someone’s jaw. It was pure chaos in the decrepit remains of a city.

“I spy with my little eye….something beginning with the letter P” Yelena said as they drove through the dimly lit street past a half-torn building where a strip of red lights at the front harshly illuminated several women in…exotic…wear.

"Prostitutes!" Laura exclaimed with the kind of loud enthusiasm that could only come from a girl who had as little childhood socialisation as she did. "I...smell, with my little nose..." She couldn’t help but make that pivot as a truly beautiful aroma she had missed so badly in prison hit her. "Something beginning with C..."

“This is the worst roadtrip ever…” Songbird muttered under her breath while Taskmaster looked around the city through the tinted windows for any clues that may have helped the mission. She found nothing but the ability to surmise that Madripoor was a failed state. 

Laura, gazing around, asked: "Okay, seriously, does anyone see a coffee stand, because it’s been months since I had the good stuff, and I can smell it for sure..."

“That one?” Ghost asked, gesturing to a place with a glowing symbol of a coffee cup in the mostly boarded up window. Barely had Ghost pointed it out before Laura was going for the van door.

“Where are you going?” Yelena immediately asked with a ‘wtf’ look despite knowing the answer.

Laura’s hand was on the latch. "To get real coffee! Don't tell me you haven't missed it after the watered down instant slop they serve in prison?"

Yelena gave it a moment and then nodded. “That is very tempting…but no we are trying not to be noticed.” Why was she correcting her? She was supposed to be the fun care-free one. Natasha was the mood kill. The sudden realisation that she was becoming her sister was haunting. 

It was Taskmaster who raised the practical question. "Do you have local currency?"

"No, but I have these!" Laura popped her adamantium claws.

Songbird was the only one to smile, liking her style. “Seems like good enough payment to me.” She chimed in with an approving nod. 

“I said unnoticed.” Yelena sighed. Laura was already out of the van before Yelena could grab her. “Cука!” the assassin cursed. “Ok fine get your coffee. But I come with you and you will not use your claws.” She scolded as the door was slammed in her face. Young people were so annoying. 

Having seemingly been too busy relentlessly pestering Thunderstorm about her pitch. Titania seemed as if she took no notice of the coffee conversation at all. That was until Yelena chased Laura out of the car, and the influencer quickly said: “Venti, half-whole milk, one quarter 1%, one quarter non-fat, extra hot, split quad shots (1 1/2 shots decaf, 2 1/2 shots regular), no foam latte, with whip, 2 packets of splenda, 1 sugar in the raw, a touch of vanilla syrup and 3 short sprinkles of cinna-“ but was unable to finish her order as Yelena took her turn to slam the door.

Making sure she still had her gun holstered, Yelena pursued Laura into the shop mentally cursing the entire way. She was intent to stop her from robbing the establishment…or to at least kill all the witnesses. Laura had already reached the counter over a chorus of protesting customers who she’d pushed out of the way. "I want you to pour espresso shots into the biggest cup you have until it's full." She said plainly to the barista in English. The barista only frowned. She didn't understand all of what Laura said, but what she understood she didn't like.

“So rude. You didn’t even order anything for me?” Yelena remarked, shoving her way through the line as well. The barista was on the verge of calling security. Laura on the verge of popping her claws. Yelena was mentally calculating the most efficient order in which to shoot everyone in the shop. That’s when Taskmaster entered. 

"[Pardon my friend.]" Came her voice, in Tamil from the front door of the shop. "[She is neurodivergent and tactless. Come here Laura, we have to wait in line.]" She subtly held up a hand of local currency she got from simply asking their driver, indicating there was no need for bloodshed.

Not understanding Antonia's words, but getting her meaning from tone and the money in her hand, Laura sheepishly and apologetically walked to the back of the line, mumbling "sorry" to the people she pushed down moments before.

A few minutes later Taskmaster and Yelena returned to the vehicle with 8 cups of coffee, two for Laura, one for the other members, and even one for the driver. And no one was killed in the process.

“This isn’t what I ordered.” Titania said, not taking the offered drink.

"I'll take it!" Laura said enthusiastically, having already downed her first 12-shot of espresso, and holding up the second.

Ghost, who’d just been silently sitting in the back of the vehicle hoping the mission would be over with soon, couldn’t help but suggest: “Maybe you should slow down on the coffee there.” 

"Whothefuckaskedyou!" Laura barked, getting her first hit of real coffee since her arrest. She was narcoleptic in prison. Now she was vibrating. Ghost simply raised her hands in surrender, not pushing the woman with adamantium claws.

“Alright yay now we have coffee.” Yelena said without any enthusiasm in her voice. “Now we just need to do the actual mission. Is there any other distractions you need to do?” 

Songbird raised her hand as she sipped her coffee. “Well I have to go to the bathroom”

“No you don’t. Driver, take us to the stop.” 

————————————————————— 

“O-M-G…Look at this place!” Titania exclaimed as they arrived. The safehouse was in an apartment in the area of Lowtown close to the border with Hightown (a somewhat secure neighbourhood locals called "Middle Town,” though nobody outside called it that). The apartment was sparsely furnished and decorated, but with a fully appointed bathroom and kitchen, temperature control, a TV and WiFi. It essentially was a palace to our prisoners.

“The toilet isn’t even next to a bed!” Songbird added, as if there were any possibility that it would be and needed stating, passing in the hall Ghost who went to collapse onto the apartment’s bed first chance she got with no intention of getting up until she absolutely had to. It was astounding how poorly Darcy’s tits compared to an actual pillow. Meanwhile Laura rushed to the kitchen, and found all she needed to fall in love with the place: a kettle, a cafetiere and a bag of ground Columbian blend. 

But Laura wasn’t the only one with sustenance in mind because the growl of Yelena’s stomach and a sharp pang reminded the assassin that she hadn’t eaten all day. Quickly she joined Laura in the kitchen where she rummaged through the cupboards and pantry. She emerged triumphant, having found boxed macaroni and cheese and a pot. In an instant she was battling Laura for the stove.

Politely clearing her throat, Taskmaster appeared at the door of the kitchen as her ostensible leader and the rebenok were locked in a vicious fight over who would get what they wanted first. 

“What?” Yelena asked while shoving Laura’s face against the countertop. 

"It isn't becoming for an officer to brawl with her soldiers." Taskmaster replied gently, before turning to Laura. "And given that we have already had coffee, food is probably a higher priority."

Laura blushed, realising how addictive her behaviour looked. "Yeah. Sure." she said, stepping away.

“Told you.” Yelena remarked to Laura like a bratty child. Asking her to act mature was like asking her not to breathe. She could probably do it, but not for prolonged periods of time. It just wasn’t something that came natural to her. 

Taskmaster looked back at Yelena. "So did you miss my whole first clause or...?" Although she received no response from her fellow Black Widow, the point was made and both women parted ways. Having defused the situation, she went to the living room to turn on the tv. 

“…And special guest, Captain America!” Announced a voice before presenting John Walker — in full costume — on stage poorly singing Rapture by Blondie while surrounded by back up dancers.

Songbird sat beside Antonia on the couch. “It’s so nice watching something made after 1960.” she was of course referring to Wanda Maximoff’s complete dictatorship over the prison tv. If prison didn’t make her want to kill herself, having to listen to the same canned laughter certainly did the trick. 

"Da, but not starring this cyka." Taskmaster said disdainfully of Captain America. She changed the channel. The next face that appeared was even less welcome though. Dressed to the max in a patriotic costume, Hyperion, the leader of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Squadron Supreme, was mid speech:

“…I'm stronger. I'm smarter. I'm better! I AM BETTER!"

“I wonder if Thunderstorm knows him.” Songbird casually pondered. 

"Aren't they dating?" Laura asked, flopping on the couch and revealing herself to have paid more attention than she pretended to while Gwendolyn Poole was talking about Squadron Supreme politica. The seemingly delusional fangirl had used odd names for them (Homelander for Hyperion, Stormfront for Thunderstorm etc.) but Laura had pieced it together from context clues.

That news seemed to astound Songbird. “Wait really?” She was pretty behind on current events since she’d been in The Raft since 2021. “It’s kind of cool that we’re working for the new Avengers…”

"Why is that cool?" Laura immediately challenged. 

Sensing an upcoming conflict, Taskmaster changed the channel again. This time whatever they were saying was entirely in Tamil so only she understood what was being said. Which means it did little to quell the argument brewing as Songbird made the mistake of replying to Laura:

“We’re basically Avengers. How is that not cool?”

"I don't think it's cool to 'basically' be a bunch of goons who serve American foreign policy interests." Listening to Polaris’ long political rants had really gotten through to her. Or Melissa really annoyed her. Or both.

Songbird scoffed. “We’re not goons of American foreign policy! We’re just people who’ve been hired by the government to do top secret missions that they can’t be held responsible for…” It was unclear whether she heard how she confirmed Laura’s point or not. She wasn’t sure why she cared so much, but she felt insulted by the idea that they weren't basically Avengers. Like she had something and then it was ripped away. “Why the fuck do you care so much?” She asked, tone raising. “Why even join the group if ethical shit matters so much to you?”

"I don't care, I just wanna be honest. We're a gang of thugs here to kidnap a woman because she doesn't get along with Uncle Sam. I'm fine with that, but let's not pretend it's some noble calling. The Avengers sure as fuck didn't when they overthrew Sokovia." Laura obviously didn’t exactly have the highest opinion of superheroes. 

While Songbird didn’t have a good objection to that, instead of quitting she doubled down. “A thug who does as she’s told is all you are. You already work for a genocidal maniac after all. But I’m not one.” The genocidal maniac being Jean Grey.

"You're literally in HYDRA." Laura pointed out. It was the easiest deflection she’d ever made.

That shut Songbird up as she slumped into the cushion of the couch. “…I didn’t join HYDRA because I wanted to…” She said slowly, as if telling herself that more than Laura. “When I showed up at The Raft they were the strongest gang in the prison…and I was scared.” She’d been locked in a cell with Sin, groped, and then the next day she was threatened with getting her asshole broken with a mop. “I thought SWORD would just send me back to Ryker’s when they caught me. Imagine my surprise, then, when they sentenced me to that Hell.” She awkwardly laughed at her own naïveté back then now that she’d spent the last five years in the worst women’s prison on the planet.

Laura sighed. Her demeanor towards the woman softened. "Look...I get making strange bedfellows in a desperate situation."

“Kinda shitty that we’re gonna have to hate each other when we get back…” The amount of awful things Songbird had said in the past just to keep Sin and Viper from using her never stopped disgusting her. Years of constant fear that they’d turn on her and pass her around the showers like they did to Karli Morganthau. Or that somehow one day she’d believe the hateful rhetoric she was forced to spew. 

"We'll see..." Laura replied. She wanted to offer her a different gang's protection, but she didn't want to make promises she couldn't yet keep. Besides, there was no way Jean Grey would ever accept a non-mutant into the Sisterhood as anything other than a bitch. 

Entering the living room with a pot of mac and cheese in hand, Yelena crashed down on a chair by the couch, began eating, and only then did she look up and realise from some of her teammates' expressions that there was the expectation that she was supposed to cook for everyone. Laura, though, had been expecting the complete lack of courtesy, so fueled by caffeine, she didn't complain about it. Instead she went to the kitchen to prepare her own meal...and another coffee.

It was just as Yelena was about to take a bite, the spoon at her lips, that she suddenly heard Thunderstorm’s voice in her ear giving them an objective:

"Alright, you made it in with no major incidents. Kudos. Your next step is to find Carter herself. Fortunately for you, we've been monitoring one of Carter's enforcers. Handles some of her business dealings for her and meets with her frequently. If she doesn't know where Carter is, she'll know where she's gonna be and when.”

Mentally grumbling at her interrupted meal, Yelena forced herself to set the food aside and get up. “Where can we find the enforcer?”

"Her name is Callisto. Frequents a bar in a neighbourhood of Lowtown her gang controls. Sending coordinates now. Discretion is probably advisable here." Thunderstorm replied, lounging in her chair on the quinjet. 

That was all the information Yelena needed to start formulating the tactic on how to approach this. She gathered everyone (except Titania) back in the living room and presented to them each the information she’d been given. Then decreed: “Laura and I will apprehend her. Antonia and Ghost, you will be overwatch.”

“Cool! Ok so what do I do?” Songbird asked enthusiastically. She just liked being part of teams. 

Yelena had an extremely important task for her. “You will stay and watch over Titania.”

Titania stuck her head out of the bathroom, incensed. "The fuck do you mean watch over me? I don't need a babysitter!"

“Ok.” Yelena chuckled, knowing there was absolutely no way she’d ever let Titania join her in anything that required subtlety. Briefly seeing as Songbird pouted at being tasked with something so not-cool, she turned to the door and expected everyone she’d assigned would follow.

————————————————————— 

The Thunderbolts (sans Titania and Songbird) made their way into a seedier part of an already seedy city. The air was heavy with the smells of filth and synthetic chemicals, and local street lighting was poorly maintained, resulting in sporadic pillars of light in the otherwise total darkness. The effect was quite alien.

Even if the Thunderbolts didn’t know their destination, the glow of orange fires and the whoops and cheers of Callisto's gang, the only group in this neighbourhood who would dare to be out so prominently so late, was indication enough. 

"Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen!" Callisto announced, preening like a peacock as the mistress of ceremonies for the fight she was hosting. Tonight's gladiators were a mutant with a generative healing factor and a mutant who breathed fire. The question of who would outlast the other prompted frenzied bets, which Callisto always enthusiastically approved of. What she probably would have approved of a lot less were the squad currently assessing how to best capture her. 

Logically Yelena should have simply waited for the crowd to disperse and corner the target when she was alone, but that would require waiting and the assassin didn’t want to do that. Fairly confident in her ability to work in chaos, she explained: “Antonia, Ghost, I want you both to create a distraction. Me and Laura will capture the target while everyone is distracted.”

From a position next to Yelena, Taskmaster lowered her visor and zoomed in on the spectacle. "Are you comfortable with killing?" She asked Ghost casually, as if she were asking her favourite colour. 

“My comfort with it is debatable, but I’ve done it before. Who should we kill first?” Ghost asked, putting on her helmet and gazing at the crowd. SHIELD had her assassinate several targets before the organisation collapsed. If she had to kill a few more people to earn her freedom, so be it. 

"The fire one." Taskmaster said. "In such a way as to make it clear that an external force did it. That will convince the crowd that the organisers rigged the fight. Those who bet on the healing one will want to claim their bets, those who bet on the fiery one will want their money back. A fight will break out. Yelena and Laura can grab our target in the confusion."

“Alright.” There was a brief pause before Ghost callously asked: “So, spontaneous combustion or do we just shoot them? I could rip out their heart but that may be excessive.”

"In this instance, spectacle is our friend, and there is no excess. I'll take overwatch and shoot the target's security as she flees. That should allow you too..." Taskmaster nodded to Yelena and Laura "...To work unimpeded. Are we all clear on the plan?"

You may be wondering why it wasn’t Yelena doing this part of the briefing. The answer is simple, she didn’t want to. She worked better as a solo act. At max she might team up with her sister or another Black Widow. A whole team was too much bother despite being their leader. Having someone else do the briefing was a massive relief considering her lack of experience working with others. “Clear. This will be no problem.”

"So we're killing a homeless guy as a distraction?" Laura asked, a hint of moral judgement in her voice. She wasn’t going to stop them, but she needed to raise it for her own conscience.

“Yes.” Yelena replied simply, not seeing any issue with the morality of what they were about to do. She was pretty much ok with killing anyone that wasn't someone she cared about or a child.

Unlike Yelena, Ghost caught on to Laura’s moral judgement and quickly asked: “Do you have a better plan?”

"Wait for her to leave on her own and jump her in an alleyway?" Laura suggested.

There was a beat. “That is a much less cool way to catch her.” Yelena sounded a little disappointed that there was an alternative option to the one where Ghost ripped someone’s heart out. She really wanted to see that. 

Laura simply shrugged in response. She called awareness to the issue. That was enough to soothe her conscience. And, with that out of the way, Yelena was off to blending in with the crowd as she subtly kept her eyes on Callisto. Meanwhile Ghost was already phasing towards the fire-breathing mutant.

Ghost caught a glimpse of Yelena and Laura getting close enough that she could strike. Appearing from seemingly nowhere, she half-appeared behind the distraction and, without hesitation, her hand reached into their chest. She pulled and then it was over. Blood stained the white glove of her suit. She tossed the heart aside.

A moment of stunned silence passed before half the crowd erupted into victorious cheers, and the other devolved into rage at having been cheated. Nine seconds passed before the first punches were thrown and guns were drawn. 

"Hey, hey! Calm the fuck down, we're gonna find out what happened!" Callisto ducked out of the way of a brick being thrown at her, and took that as her queue to leave. She went running, surrounded by the protection of her three personal guards….until, from her position on the corner of a building, Taskmaster headshot two of them, and got a third in the knee with the same shot that killed the second. 

“Showoff” Yelena muttered under her breath as she get close enough to Callisto to fire a shock from her Widow Bite gauntlet that should have incapacitated her if Callisto, possessed of superhuman speed, hadn’t got out of the way of Yelena's shot, and delivered two quick strikes to her stomach and throat.

“Ow that really hurt” Yelena remarked as she forced herself through the pain and quickly moved to attacking her head-on, attempting to swing her leg up and kick her in the face. Callisto, though, once again ducked out of the way effortlessly and laughed at the spy’s impotent efforts. As the mutant moved to grab Yelena and snap her neck, her laughter turned into a scream of pain. She looked down as adamantium claws emerged from her knees.

Laura withdrew her claws, having literally hamstrung out her target, and in a fluid motion, pulled her over her shoulder. "Let's go!"

Yelena ignored Callisto’s pain as she walked beside Laura to find a suitable place to interrogate the captive. “Why did you help? I was winning that.”

"You were about to die." Laura responded, completely unimpressed with her bluster.

Yelena grabbed the upside-down Callisto’s hair and pulled at it so that she looked her in the eyes. Then the assassin produced a dagger from one of the many pockets on her vest and held the blade to Callisto’s cheek. “Did I almost beat you?” She asked. Alas, Callisto was in too much pain to respond with anything but agonised moans.

“She agrees.” Yelena smiled at Laura, interpreting Callisto’s pained groan as she saw fit. She was about to say something simultaneously quippy and threatening to the captive when suddenly she heard Thunderstorm’s voice in her ear. Her expression became far less happy and then she exclaimed: "They did what?"

—————————————————————

Titania had been searching the safe house with uncharacteristic thoroughness and determination, trying to find literally anything with a camera and an Internet connection. The smart-TV gave her a brief ray of hope, but it just had stupid streaming services. There was a landline but that was fucking useless. Having searched everywhere where there might have actually been a smartphone, she was reduced to turning over the contents of kitchen drawers in frustration.

Laying on the couch watching TV, Songbird had been aware of Titania’s frantic search for the last ten minutes but it was only now that she actually asked: “What are you looking for?”

"A phone! There's gotta be one, right? Why'd they give us WiFi and not a phone!" Titania’s mannerisms were disconcertingly similar to several drug addicts suffering from withdrawal that Songbird had known. The best thing the bubblegum-pink haired criminal could ask was: 

“Would you like to watch something with me?” 

Predictably, Titania rejected the idea outright. “If I wanted to watch fuckin' Stark+ I'd eat lucky-whats-her-face's pussy to hang out in her fancy cell! What I want is a cellphone! It's been months since I last posted, the Titaniacs need me!"

“Alright, alright…how about we get you one?” Songbird suggested against her better judgment. She reasoned that it would still be watching over Titania, right? At the very least it would help her teammate chill out. 

Titania stood up, looking enthusiastic for the first time since the mission began. "Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. Do you know where we should go to do that?"

As if a switch had been turned on, Songbird excitedly sat up as her mind immediately jumped to the only logical conclusion. “We can steal one!” She’d always had a love for the simple thrill committing illegal acts provided her, which made for a delightful combination with her kleptomania. Given the opportunity to do some petty crime was an overwhelmingly tempting urge. 

Titania smiled at that. Her and Songbird were about to be the best of friends. "Sounds good. You lead me to a good phone, and I'll highlight you in my comeback vlog. You'll be a star!"

“You’ve got yourself a deal!” Songbird exclaimed with a smile. Laying low? What’s that mean?

And so, in a city that Songbird had no familiarity with and which was almost entirely lawless, where could two stunning badgirls get a phone? She was willing to guess there wasn’t an Apple store she could just break into…so the only logical alternative was to just steal one off someone, right? Stepping out of the safehouse she didn’t see a whole lot of options. But someone in one of the fancy buildings in the distance certainly must have had one. Sure enough, there was a mid-sized apartment building with impressive ground level security on the same block as the safehouse. Ground level. They weren’t prepared for an attack on the penthouse.

“I’ll be right back.” Songbird said confidently to Titania as she created an entirely indiscreet pair of pink wings that seemed to light up the entire formerly-dimly lit street.

She soared to the top floor, a sense of euphoria washing over her as she ascended farther and farther from the ground. There was always something freeing about flying. The sense that she could escape anything. Which meant it was one of the feelings she missed most during her time locked up in The Raft. Hovering outside the window of the penthouse, she let out an ear-splitting screech that shattered the glass.

The penthouse was dark, its occupant apparently having gone to bed for the night. Then a light in the bedroom turned on as Songbird stepped into the living room. “Look, I’m just here because I want your phone. Tell me the password and slide it under the door and this doesn’t have to escalate.” She really hoped they didn't have a gun. That would’ve sucked. 

A disoriented middle-aged man in pajamas stumbled groggily out of his room, one hand on his ear. He didn't hear her warning because his ears were still ringing from Songbird scream. Thankfully, he wasn’t armed. She did feel a little bad about her approach. Not enough to not rob them, but she did change her tone to something a little less bank-robbery-core. “Sorry. You can't hear a word of what I’m saying right now. Do you have something I could write on?” She asked, despite knowing they wouldn't hear what she asked.

“What?" He asked, dazed and still unable to hear her. Behind him, Songbird saw a smartphone on charge next to his bed.

She waved her hands to get his attention and then pointed at the phone behind him. “I…Want…Your…Phone” She attempted to mouth.

"My phone?" The man asked, gasping. "This...is about my phone?"

“YES!” Songbird yelled, but not at her maximum pitch of course.

He cried out in genuine pain and fell back, hitting his head against the wall. "T-take it! Take it and leave me alone!" He was terrified of the utter superpowered madwoman who was robbing him. 

“Cool thanks!” Songbird sauntered into the room and grabbed the phone, checking the battery to thankfully find that it was at 100%. “So uh what’s the password?”

He didn’t answer. That’s when she saw him crawling to the landline. “Shit.” Songbird blasted the landline by converting sonic energy to physical energy because her powers were weird as fuck. “Give me the fucking password now and we can both move on with our night!” She demanded a little more sternly. Why did people always make her have to have this tone when she stole from them?

But all he did was back away frantically into the corner, hyperventilating and still unable to hear the intruder properly. 

“You’re really making me feel bad about this…” Songbird complained despite literally being the one stealing from him. “No pressure. Just give it a minute or two and your ears will be fine. I promise. I’ll wait right here, totally not harming you, until you can tell me what I need to know.” If she’d been in HYDRA right now, Sin would probably just have had her torture whoever she wanted information from but thankfully she didn’t have to do that here. Instead she was trying to be ‘nice’. 

Songbird's victim eventually recovered enough to tap in his code. "Please back my pictures and contacts up onto my cloud." He implored. "The phone is yours, but please do that."

“C’mon you want me to back up your pictures? I have things I want to do…yeah sure. Fine.” She sighed and then took off with the phone, hastily doing what she could for him as she descended back to the ground and returned triumphantly with the object in hand. “The phone is yours” She smiled, handing it over to Titania who took it gleefully.

The influencer immediately opened the web-browser and started logging into her favourite streaming platform. She was so engrossed in it that Songbird had to pull her away before Sable International* showed up. 

*Sable International has a role similar to that of a police force in the lawless Madripoor, but really are akin to a high-tech group of bounty hunters that will go after just about anyone if paid enough.

"Ugh, the lighting here sucks, I can't reappear for the first time in three months looking like this! Come on, let's find somewhere well lit." Titania complained as they stood in the gloomy alleyway, ignorant of the literal armoured vehicle driving past them in search of Songbird. 

Looking nervously at the corporate police force that looked like it was ripped out of some cyberpunk dystopia, Songbird wanted to get as far as possible. “The safehouse? Or are we looking for something more exciting?” She was completely along for the ride…which was not at all what Yelena asked her to do.

"Obvs want something a little more dynamic." Titania said, as they reached the other side of the alleyway. "Hmm...we passed some cool looking places on the way into town, but from the glow alone, I'd say the real action is totally happening over that wall." She gestured at the visible neon glow from over the wall that separated High Town from Low Town. "Think you can get me over it?"

“I just flew to the top of a fucking building. Yeah I can get you over the wall.” Songbird basically was ready to take any excuse to fly around at the moment. Having grabbed a hold of Titania, up up and away she went again. “Oh I should probably warn you that it can be pretty nauseating the first time around.” She warned by the time Titania had already figured it out and was spending all her efforts on not vomiting.  

“But it’s really cool….right?” Songbird asked as they went above a few buildings. Titania was able to nod weakly as her ride deftly weaved past the beam of a searchlight, and landed them on the other side of the wall. 

The influencer needed to take a minute to catch her breath. Something Songbird provided before enthusiastically asking: “So where we going? Nightclub? Bar?” It had been so long since she’d been to either.

"Nearest Nightclub." Titania said, getting up and heading for the street. She took out the phone again, logged into twitter, and tweeted. 'Hey all! Long time no post! #Titania #Titaniacs #Guaesswhosback’ Then she watched her notifications, eager for the sweet, sweet hit of social media validation. The milliseconds of nothing were agonising…then they began to flood in. Shocked reaction after shocked reaction that Titania was seemingly back. A few questioned why she wasn’t in prison but it quickly was put down by her loyal fans who deemed her a ‘prison break icon.’

It was a response that assured Titania couldn’t help but squeal out loud in excitement. She missed the adoration, the loyalty, the attention, so fucking much! The occasion demanded she take some immediate selfies under the streetlights and tweet them out, proving that this wasn’t just an account hack. The pics were also geo-tagged, revealing where she was. 

Songbird was quick to attempt to join in, peering over her teammate’s shoulder and reading the comments with her. The stolen phone’s screen was filled with reactions as more and more people took notice. “Holy shit you have a lot of fans.” She remarked as they just kept coming.

"I know it!" Titania said, not feigning the usual influencer humility since she was so excited to be back in the game. She opened the maps app and followed directions to the nearest nightclub.

Navigating beside her through the starkly less neo-dystopian looking streets of High Town, a thought crossed Songbird’s mind. She was (temporarily) a freewoman. A freewoman who, while bisexual, preferred men and who’d been in prison for the last six years… 

“Ok so I’ve been thinkin’ and y’know what I want to do? I wanna get drunk on literally anything besides toilet wine. And then I’m gonna fuck someone that isn’t a woman and you have to help me. That’s my price for helping you, got it?” Songbird had some lesbian dalliances in The Raft but by no means were any of them explored for any reason beyond making do with what was available. 

Titania looked at her, her smile faltering. She didn't like the talk of a price. "Help you how?" She asked hesitantly. 

“Oh you know…I’m sure you can find someone for me. Just talk me up without making me seem like I’ll do anything. But also that I will do anything if that makes sense. Should be easy!” Songbird was fairly certain that she’d have trouble navigating due to the drastic culture shock from her last environment to this one.

Titania nodded, thinking about it for a moment. The germ of an idea was forming. She checked her phone to see how people were reacting to the pics she’d posted so far, including the ones Songbird photobombed. The number had entered the thousands.

“What’s your name?” Titania abruptly asked Songbird, not having bothered to memorise her teammates' names. 

The pink-haired criminal looked around as if Titania was asking some unseen person behind her before realising that the influencer was asking her. “Songbird” She replied. 

“Ehhhh…cute but I don’t like that.” Titania managed to say such an obviously rude thing in a way that was weirdly endearing to Songbird. “Gimme your real name.”

Songbird shyly slouched and avoided eye-contact. “Melissa.” 

Titania put her arm around Songbird and said "smile." Before snapping a pic. She tweeted it out with the caption "Me and my girl Mels out on the town! Any Titaniacs in Madripoor, come say hi!" 

Songbird liked Titania’s nickname for her. It had been forever since she was close enough with anyone that they were comfortable treating her as anything more than an acquaintance or a low-level fuck-up to push around. While the way Titania took to treating people like they were close was annoying to most, Mels was flattered. 

Just as they reached the line for the club, Titania casually walked straight past. Songbird frowned with mock sympathy, a true ‘sucks to be you’ look, at the people they passed. “It must be so much fun being a celebrity.” She said wistfully to Titania. 

"You should try it." Titania said as they reached the bouncer. She initially tried to just walk past him, taking refuge in audacity. But when that didn’t work she put her hands on her hips, and glared at him. "Do you know who I am?" She asked, confrontationally.

The bouncer simply stared at her show of offense and sighed. “No. Now go to the back of the line.”

"I'm Titania!" She announced with flair, expecting it to be met with obsequious apologies and the bouncer getting out of the way. 

When there was little reaction to her announcement, Songbird uselessly commented: “I don’t think he knows who you are…” To which Titania grunted in annoyance, grabbed the bouncer, and tossed him across the street as casually as one might knock aside an inanimate 'keep out' sight. Taking a breath to regain her composure, the influencer swaggered into the club.

“That’s definitely a solution!” Songbird turned to make sure no one had drawn a gun on them but it seemed they were fine.

They approached the bar, Titania leading the way by pushing her way to the front of the line again, and got the attention of the bartender. "Two smiling tigers, thanks." The influencer said with a grin.

Songbird looked at Titania with some confusion as to what that was. Confusion that was made tenfold when she saw a live cobra placed on the table and watched as the intense looking bartender took a knife to its side and began peeling the creature open. The pink-haired criminal let out an audible shocked (yet not aghast) ‘what the fuck…’ as the snake’s heart was removed and placed in a cocktail with gin and triple sec. 

Having known what to expect, Titania was unphased as she handed Melissa her drink. "So, anybody here catching your eye?" She asked, sipping hers. Real booze tasted incredible in comparison to the swill she’d recently been drinking. It was depressing that Dazzler couldn’t afford smuggled-in alcohol and resorted to whatever was the least expensive. 

Songbird shrugged and then downed hers in a single go, clearly not that phased by the strange ingredient now that the initial shock had worn off. “He’s hot.” She gestured to a man across the club who is hard to describe because one of the authors of this is a lesbian and doesn’t know what to write.

Titania followed her eyes to a kind of basic looking tall white guy with short, kinda muscly, giving off major himbo energy. She could definitely do better, and Melissa probably could too, but hey, it was a quick way to get her off her back. Once she finished her drink, she approached him with her best slow, seductive walk. It didn’t take long at all for Titania to lure the hapless himbo back to the bar, where he seemed a little nonplussed that he wasn’t being seduced by Titania herself.

"Another three drinks!" She called to the bartender.

The bartender, a grizzled woman with a possible tattoo and body modification addiction, rested her knife into the counter and looked intimidatingly at the group. “You plan on paying, right?”

Titania met her gaze, snatched the knife from her hand, and folded it in half like a piece of cardboard. "You get to keep all your teeth. That's my payment."

“That was my favorite knife.” The bartender grit her teeth and nodded. “Fine.” She resentfully poured them another round of drinks.

Titania, Songbird, and Songbird's prospective boytoy (Who introduced himself as Vido) drank several more rounds while the latter two flirted. Nobody involved noticed the men in combat suits entering the club through side doors. A lot of them...

“...I’ve been in prison for six years. That’s like basically a decade. It sucked, I’m horny…a-and I want you to fuck me.” Songbird slurred, having had more than a couple smiling tigers too many, as she leaned on the person standing beside her. “...You have a rockin’ bod by the way…all tall and glamorous and curves everywhere…” Her eyes slowly trailed up their body until they were locked with Titania’s.

Vido stood to the side, awkwardly, his unfinished first drink in hand. "Uh...can I watch?"

Titania was weighing out the clout value of making out with Songbird on stream, when she became aware that everyone else on the dance floor was backing away from them, except for a small cadre of white-clad men. "Oh shit."

Lazily Songbird turned to look at what could possibly have stolen Titania’s attention away from her…and then she saw them. The largest reaction she had was a groan of annoyance at the obnoxious interruption their presence provided. “Maybe they’re here for someone else?” She attempted. 

The sergeant of the group stepped forward. "Unregistered metahuman and accomplices: Lie face down on the ground with your hands behind your heads. If you do not comply, we will use lethal force."

"I'm thinkin' they're here for us." Titania said flatly.

Vido spoke up. "Uh, hey, I'm not really with these ladies, I'm just gonna..." But before he could finish talking Titania picked the himbo up and threw him at the nearest cop. One of them was completely decked by the screaming Vido. The other five advanced, stun batons in hand.

“Dude, seriously?“ Songbird questioned Titania throwing him but moved on since it was hardly her biggest concern. The hired guns took a single step forward before Songbird let out a shriek, creating a blast of pink energy that sent them flying back. Three cops and an uncounted number of clubgoers were cast back by the shriek. The remaining two officers ran for it, calling for backup.

Titania threw a glass at the back of a fleeing cop, knocking him down, and turned to Songbird. "I think that's our cue to move on."

Songbird gave her a thumbs up after she probably shattered the eardrums of someone who was pulling out a gun. “Next bar?” She had her priorities figured out.

"Obvs." Titania said, perfectly aligned with her. 

-

The next stop was Madripoor’s pride; The Princess Bar! Much like the city itself, it was an establishment that managed to both be shady and grandiose, with a long list of some of the country’s most notorious crime lords and mercenaries drinking side by side with the average hitman (or hitwoman) and run-of-the-mill internationally wanted fugitives.

But first it seemed wise to get a bit of money after the debacle at the last bar, so Titania of course approached the first drunk person she saw on the street and asked: “Do you have any money?”

“What?” the random passerby asked.

“Money. Cough up some cash. Do I look like I have any fucking rupiah on me, how am I supposed to get around?” Titania said in as threatening a tone as possible. Which wasn’t particularly effective given her outlandish outfit, but it was the middle of the night and she was robbing someone. 

The person stared at them confused. “The money is not called rupiah…” 

“Yeah. Whatever. It was like meant to be insulting. Just give me some cash.” She expectantly extended her hand out. As the person opened their wallet and began sorting through the bills, the influencer grew impatient and simply grabbed the wallet and nearly crushed their hand. 

Songbird awkwardly smiled at the person who was just robbed. “She means to say thank you…”

“No I don’t, Mels!” Titania replied, having already begun to walk towards the next stop. 

-

Titania had already beat the bouncer into submission, then went in and ordered a round of "Whatever's strongest. And keep it coming if you like having walls."

“Or having eardrums!” Songbird shouted, accidentally shattering a glass panel in front of her — which naturally made her drunkenly laugh. And having gotten a few increments drunker herself, Titania once again found a guy for Songbird, this one a taller, more athletic local with killer dance moves.

Before she knew it, Songbird and the man were off to one of the bathrooms in search of somewhere private…and then half a minute later Titania saw the man leave as Songbird followed close behind, saying: “...It’s not what you think!” 

Her hookup had seen a rather unfortunate prison tattoo Songbird had. But whatever issues she was having fell to the back burner as another squad of Sable cops in riot gear with repulsor guns bursted in. In the fight that followed, the two superhumans both held out against the concussive blasts, and the guy was sent flying backwards into the glass Songbird previously broke.

"Uh...He's probably fine." Titania said, beating a Sable officer unconscious with another’s helmet. "Next bar?"

Songbird looked at the man and then back at Titania, hesitating for a moment before agreeing. “Yeah…this place blows.”

-

The next place they went was a nautical themed place called Buccaneer Bay, an aspirational name given that it was nowhere near the beach, only the Hightown river. At this point, Titania was drunk enough to think livestreaming the evening was a good idea, and so left it to Melissa to deal with the bouncer.

Stumbling along, Songbird approached the bouncer with a giggle. “You wanna let me and my friend in?” She asked, poking them with possible provocation should they refuse. The bouncer grabbed Songbird's wrist, and began the process of dragging her away. “Alright, you did this to yourself!” She shouted, just loud enough to repel them away without doing any serious harm. Before they could stagger to their feet she was already strolling inside with Titania beside her. 

Titania had, of course, livestreamed the encounter. Ordering a round of drinks, they quickly began a deeply competitive game to see who could down the most shots the fastest. Things became a bit of a blur after that…until Songbird found herself wandering the club yelling “Seriously, where the fuck did you go?!” Despite how she tried, she couldn’t find Titania anywhere. The influencer had simply disappeared. 

“Titania! Where are you?” She called as she drunkenly stumbled along, banging into people on the dance floor left and right. Then she found her, standing with her back turned but it was definitely her. “Haha! Found you-” she spun them around and realised very quickly it was the wrong person. “...you’re not Titania!” 

Narrowly avoiding an altercation, she then proceeded to stumble around the nightclub for another ten minutes before finding her. 

-

Eventually they ended up where rich tourists always ended up in Madripoor's high town: Fisk Tower. There was no bouncer this time, just a doorman who asked their room number before Titania threw him at a wall. The pair stumbled to the bar and Titania began looking through her blurry vision at guys to pick up for Songbird. "Leeeets see, do you want the tall guy, the older rich lookin' guy, the guy in a police mech, the mullet guy, the-huh?! Oh shit...Uh...There are a lot of cops outside."

“The tall guy- Wait what?!” Songbird quickly followed Titania’s gaze to the practical legion of people after them. “Fuck! Ok I can just fly us away….shit how do I do that again?” She was basically useless in her inebriated current state.

Titania grabbed the nearest guy in a suit and held him in front of her. "We got hostages, piggies! You hear that? You shoot at us, you'll hit them! Everyone on the ground, now!" About a quarter of bar patrons and staff obeyed, still a decent number of hostages. The other three quarters recognised that Titania was in no position to chase them and instead ran. "Everyone behind the fuckin' bar, now! Before I start snappin' spines!"

Songbird looked around dazed and confused as to what to do before snapping out of it. She grabbed one of the random patrons to use as a barrier between herself and the cops. “Please just do what we say and then you can go home, yeah?” She asked them as they slowly backed towards the bar.

That was when a shot rang out. There was a thud and when Songbird turned to see what happened. Titania was on the ground… 

—————————————————————

“They did what?!” Yelena exclaimed, looking like she was just about ready to stab someone. Whose stupid idea was it to put Songbird in charge of watching over Titania? Definitely not hers. 

"Who did what?" Laura asked, her tone less rhetorical than Yelena's.

Yelena turned her gaze to Laura in a fury. “The two идиоты have a building full of hostages.” She explained, letting Laura extrapolate who the two idiots in the group were. 

"Hostages? How did that happen?" Taskmaster asked, perplexed by the specifics but not the generality of 'two unattended idiots fucked things up.'

“I don’t know.” Yelena responded, just as confused by how things had escalated so far from them staying in the safehouse. She would just leave them to their own devices and, likely, deaths, but didn’t want them accidentally jeopardizing the mission by accidentally revealing something if caught. So, reluctantly, she sighed and said: “We now need to rescue them and then we torture Callisto.”

Having to wait on torturing Callisto was a serious annoyance for Yelena. A sentinement Laura didn’t share. In fact, she was quietly relieved at not having to torture anyone just yet. Lifting the restrained Callisto on her shoulder, she nodded. "Let's go."

Seemingly appearing out of nowhere, Ghost popped up beside Laura. “What are we going to do with the captive? You can’t possibly think bringing her will be a good idea.”

"I can hang back with her. Where are we meeting afterwards?" Laura asked while Callisto struggled in her arms. 

“We’ll meet you at the safehouse.” Yelena decided. It’s almost never a good idea to bring a captive who you plan to interrogate back to your base but they could deal with that later. Every second they fretted about was another wasted. As Laura carried Callisto away, Yelena and the other two began concocting a plan on how they’d reach their teammates. The biggest issue presented was the wall, but Ghost could simply move through it and Yelena and Taskmaster were skilled enough to simply sneak their way through a gatehouse. 

What they didn't know was that one of the people they were trying to rescue had been fatally shot…

—————————————————————

“OH MY GOD! Fucking help me! He shot me in the boob! What kind of dick shoots a girl in the boob?!” Titania screamed through pained sobs, having crawled behind the bar and now laying propped against the wall. 

In a panic, Songbird tossed the hostage she had aside and ran behind the bar as fast as she possibly could. “Are you ok?” She frantically asked, watching as blood gushed from the wound.

"NO I'M NOT FUCKING OKAY! HE SHOT ME IN THE BOOB!" Titania yelled. 

Songbird was starting to panic. “Shit sorry stupid question. Um…uhhhh…we need to stop the bleeding!” Stupidly, she touched the wound as if that would somehow automatically heal it.

Titania slapped her hand away. “OW! YOU FUCKING BITCH! Get away from me!” 

“Sorry! I’m sorry! We need to-” Songbird looked around for some solution but Titania already had something in mind. 

“We need to make sure they don’t shoot at us again!" Titania furiously grabbed the nearest hostage and stood up, fully intending to kill him where Sable could see. They’d gone too far. All things considered, she was fine. Either her superhuman physiology or her ample bosom (or both) assured that the bullet didn’t travel very far into her chest. She’d physically be fine, but now suffered (fake) extreme trauma and distress from knowing she’d be left with a scar. It would however have been an entirely different story if she’d been shot in the head. 

“Wait, what are you doing?!” Songbird rushed to her feet, suddenly aware of what Titania was thinking of doing. “Stop! Seriously, we don't need to kill anyone! C’mon they didn’t do anything…” She didn't yet act in hopes that she could just talk her down.

Titania tried to push her away and reach up to break the guy's neck, but was sonic blasted away from him. Technically, Songbird hit both of them but it at least broke Titania’s hold. The influencer yelped and fell to the floor. "The fuck was that for?"

“What was that for? You almost killed someone!” Songbird was aware that she technically killed the crazy cops after them, but that was self defense. Killing a hostage was way too far. Believe it or not, she had a few morals. 

Titania let out a mix of a scoff and a pained cough. "Yeah, like to stop them shooting! How do you think hostages work?"

“The whole point is to use them as leverage! Not snap their fucking neck!” Songbird realised she was still standing when a bullet nearly hit her in the head so she quickly dropped to the ground.

"Fuck..." Titania groaned, leaning over and clutching her wounded breast.

Songbird considered screaming at the top of her lungs in an effort to push the cops back, but there was the very real threat that a stray bullet would hit her if she left her cover. “What the fuck do we do now?!”

"This is...all...your fuckin' fault!" Titania yelled at her between gasps of pain.

—————————————————————

Having managed to make their way into High Town, Yelena, Ghost, and Taskmaster navigated towards the looming Fisk Tower. Surrounding it were at least two dozen heavily armed Sable International agents flanked by mobile turrets and snipers. Getting into the building would have been a nightmare in itself, much less fighting their way past some of the most well trained corporate police on the planet.

Yelena had encountered them before in an unrelated job in 2018, and was familiar with how annoying Sable agents were to deal with. A direct offense against that many of them wasn’t a viable option. “Ghost, you will go inside and see how many there are and where. Me and Antonia will wait for you to report back.”

-

“Boo!” Ghost exclaimed with a snicker as she emerged through a wall right behind Titania and Songbird. It was a rather lame joke that quickly became hilarious to her as she managed to practically startle the life out of Songbird. 

She’d been attempting to hold a barrier up to keep stray bullets at bay, but the sudden arrival made her jump and spin around in shock, crying out a rather pitifully frightened: “What the fuck?” 

While Ghost laughed at her, Titania remained unphased by the jumpscare. “Took you long enough! Are the others here yet?” She asked while she hurled a barstool at a Sable cop who got too close to the blown-out windows. 

“They’re outside. Sent me to do reconnaissance.” Ghost replied. “You don’t happen to know the exact details on how many cops there are and where, do you? That would make this a lot easier for me.” It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it herself, but it was worth a shot asking if it would save her time.

"Uhhh…like…a lot. Well, it was a lot, minus...however many barstools I've thrown..." Titania was trying unsuccessfully to hide that she was wasted.

“Thanks. That tells me absolutely nothing.” Ghost stated bluntly. She was just about to depart, when she quickly added with a creepy smile: “Oh and by the way, I hope for your sake you get a lot better at hiding that you’re drunk before Yelena sees you. She’s livid.”

Titania simply waved her hand dismissively. "What's Blonde Widow gonna do? Gimme double life in prison?" 

But Ghost was already gone, navigating from room to room, drifting past armed agent after armed agent who she carefully tried to remember the position of. She didn’t know what Titania and Songbird did, but whatever it was warranted an absurdly large group. Or, having seen enough of Madripoor, the more likely answer was that this was an excessive amount of force. Either way, she wasn’t sure how they’d possibly get their teammates past this. 

Her reconnaissance found some 60 Sable agents in total around the building: 30 massed behind cover in the front, 20 securing various exits, and around 10 injured by Titania's barstools. They also had two mechs out front and a number of small drones flying around the building. Simply put, the odds were not in their favour. 

Reporting that information back to Taskmaster and Yelena, she didn’t hesitate to bluntly share that she thought Titania and Songbird were screwed. “We should just leave them.”

"I concur." Thunderstorm said over the radio. "Belova, pull back. It's not worth jeopardising the mission over."

It didn’t show behind her mask, but that irked Taskmaster. It was exactly the kind of cold and brutal calculation she always made when working for the Red Room. No more. "We can get them out." She said confidently. "I have a plan."

As the team’s leader, Yelena was faced with a difficult decision between the inarguably more tactical decision to abandon them and the more empathetic decision to leave no woman behind. Of course, she mentally jumped to the former…but a little voice in the back of her head that she hated just couldn’t do it. Natasha and Kate wouldn’t ever abandon anyone. With a sigh at her own perceived weakness, she asked: “What is your idea?”

"According to Ghost's telemetry, the smallest group is guarding the north entrance, on the opposite side of the building to the main body of the responders. If we engage them, we'll create a distraction and, if we resolve it quickly, escape before the other Sable officers can arrive. In that time, Ghost can lead our drunken comrades out undetected." Taskmaster was very used to coming up with this kind of battle plan. Communicating it to someone else was a novel sensation. 

“That…could work.” Yelena nodded, unsurprised that Antonia had a good tactic. “We will do this.” She decided against Thunderstorm and Ghost’s opinions. 

Ghost was reluctant to do anything that could get herself killed, but there was no point in objecting. She’d seen how Yelena behaved in the Raft enough to know she couldn’t be ‘reasoned’ with. 

"This is a mistake." Thunderstorm warned, though she knew better than to incapacitated members of the team this close to Sable. It was rather ironic that she was willing to abandon the only two semi-Nazi approved members of the team. 

"Let's go." Taskmaster set off, moving over rooftops around Fisk Tower. 

Her and Yelena crept over to the north entrance where eight of the twenty Sable officers were standing guard on the exterior, the other twelve on the inside. “You go left and I go right?” Yelena asked Antonia, planning to converge on the door and then fight their way through the hallway.

"Ageed." Taskmaster said. "And just to confirm: Neither of us have a moral problem with killing corporate mercenaries, right?"

Yelena snort-laughed in response. “No.” Is all she had to say before she advanced towards the officers, firing a shot through one of their heads, grabbing them as a human shield to block a laser blast, and then shoving the corpse against one of their colleagues as a distraction. 

Taskmaster followed close behind her, loosing a quick shot from her bow to kill one of the Sable agents pointing his gun at Yelena, then sweeping the legs out from under a second with a kick, and stabbing him in the throat with her sword.

Yelena narrowed her eyes at Antonia, challenging her into a competition. In an effort to outdo her, she jammed her stun baton into an officer’s neck — giving them an excruciating jolt that sent them flailing to the ground — while she kicked another in the face. The assassin spun the baton and hit the second, then fired a widow bite into the first as they tried to get back up.

Silently accepting the challenge, Taskmaster raised her shield and charged a Sable officer to slam him into a wall, then quickly pivoted with the shield to reflect the repulsor shot of another officer. It hit him in the leg and he went down, screaming.

Meanwhile, the one Yelena kicked in the face was the last one left alive outside. She dispatched them efficiently by throwing them through the door into the immediate gunfire of the officers inside. Then Taskmaster positioned her shield in front of the door as they fired, letting the reflected shots take out as many as could go down before they stopped firing.

Unable to use their primary weapon, the final ten were forced to resort to physical combat (something which was no match against two black widow assassins). They charged but Yelena got a running start and wrapped her legs around one’s throat, flipped them around, and then leaped and used her bracers to shoot the two officer’s closest to her.

Taskmaster lowered the shield and ran forward, sliding under Yelena as she jumped in the air, and cut down two more officers with her sword. Realising she was now a kill behind, Yelena quickly resorted to using her gun to steal Antonia’s next target.

Unphased, Taskmaster kicked the body into the next man charging at her, knocking him off balance and allowing her to drive an armoured elbow into his nose with a crunch.

Yelena rushed forward, dropping into a slide to knock one opponent off their feet and hitting them with a paralysis dart as she locked herself around the person behind them in a widow’s embrace and struck the iconic fighting pose, one arm thrown back, as she landed. At 10 to 9 she was just about to start gloating…and then a Sable officer who was apparently off having a smoke when they attacked the others outside appeared at the door they came in by, gun drawn. To which Taskmaster swiftly dropped him with an arrow, centre-mass.

Standing up with a childish groan, Yelena insisted: “That is not fair! He does not count.” If they’d been in prison and Antonia were anyone less skilled, Yelena would have forcefully made her agree that she was victorious by bending her over and shoving something up her ass until she complied.

"We can litigate that later. Right now, let's go before reinforcements arrive." Taskmaster’s visor could already detect them coming. 

Elsewhere, Ghost watched as said reinforcements redirected their attention to Taskmaster and Yelena’s offense. With most of the attention diverted, she returned to the bar where the sound of gunfire, blasts, and metal against metal from the north exit could still be heard. “Ready to get out of here or do you want to learn what a Madripoor prison is like?” She asked impatiently.

Voice tired after the amount of strain it's been under considering she hadn’t used her powers in so long, the most Songbird gave was a nod in response. 

Titania got up from behind her cover...and immediately got dizzy and sat down on the only barstool she hadn't yet thrown. Then some repulsor fire shattered a glass next to her and she hurriedly followed Ghost. 

As they left the room, two officers emerged and opened fire on them. Ghost phased through the repulsor blasts and Songbird managed to force a shrill enough sound to make a forcefield while Ghost terrifyingly dragged the two attackers into a wall. After that, both teams made it out without further incident as Sable moved in to secure the area, free the hostages, and present the Kingpin’s insurance provider with a massive invoice for services rendered.

—————————————————————

The Thunderbolts carefully evaded Sable International, managed to sneak out of High Town, and were entering the safehouse and Yelena had still yet to say a word to Titania or Songbird. Oddly enough she’s managed to seem calm to them, letting them think that maybe she’d moved past the issue. But the first matter of business as soon as they were inside was made explicit when the assassin looked at Antonia and sadistically asked her: “Now what should we do to them?”

"How would you usually punish a pair of disobedient bitches?" Taskmaster asked. They both knew the answer but this little game served to make their soon-to-be victims nervous. Or at least that was the intention. 

Titania looked around. It hadn’t even occurred to her that she might be in trouble. "With who?"

Yelena stared at Titania dead-eyed, refusing to answer such a stupid question. But it took her no time at all to answer Antonia. “Spanking. Then shove something up their butts and let them pull it out.” And then if that wasn’t bad enough, she remembered witnessing Titania’s adamant aversion to anything gay in prison and said to her: “And you will eat Songbird out after.”

"What? Nu-uh, I ain't doing any of that!" Titania said, stepping back.

“No way!” Songbird exclaimed hoarsely. “I didn’t get out of prison to be your bitch…”

Despite how both women insisted that they wouldn’t comply, they were simply outnumbered. Their antics had pissed off every single one of their teammates. Well except Laura who sat on the couch watching TV with a bound and gagged Callisto. "So the rescue went okay then?" She casually called, not looking up from her show. 

“Yeah it went great. We had to fight an army to get these morons.” Ghost replied while needlessly shoving Songbird’s head on her way to sit beside the tied up captive.

There would be no getting out of this for Songbird and Titania, so with Taskmaster’s command for her to undress, Songbird let out a whine and complied. It felt just like her intake as she removed her costume and hastily tried to preserve some dignity by covering herself with her arms while lowering her bubblegum pink underwear. Then, body made bare, she was forced to reveal some…interesting…tattoos Hydra made her get as a show of loyalty. 

“You too.” Yelena commanded Titania, threateningly pulling her knife from her vest and waving it at her.

Titania was absolutely drunk. And she had no reason to even try to hide it in the face of punishment. "Fuck off!" she slurred, making a clumsy swing at Yelena’s knife-hand.

Yelena moved her knife away in time before Titania could send it flying across the room. “Strip or I tell Thunderstorm to shock you for next half hour.” But Titania barely registered the threat before taking another backhanded swing.

“You are so annoying” Yelena said with clear exasperation of the influencer in her tone. She didn’t even feel bad that she really wanted her to die before the mission was over.

Without hesitation, Thunderstorm activated the implants to shock Titania into immobility. She double-checked that her mic was off before saying "Uppity little brown bitch..." to herself. 

As the influencer writhed on the floor, Taskmaster pulled out a small blade and, with surgical precision, cut away her clothes. It was only when she was naked that anyone noticed the wound on her chest and Yelena lacked enough of a filter to avoid saying: “You were shot in the boob? That is so funny.” Kate Bishop would have disapproved of her finding that funny but the dorky archer wasn’t here to tell her off.

"FFFCK YYYY..." Titania tried unsuccessfully to curse Yelena out. Her punishment would come soon, but Yelena’s attention turned first to Songbird and she asked Taskmaster:

“I am tired. Want to spank her?”

Songbird looked at Taskmaster as pathetically as she could, hoping to earn some sympathy. “I-I learned my lesson. You don’t need to spank me…” she attempted. 

Taskmaster ignored Songbird. "I saw a wooden cutting board in the kitchen that would make an excellent paddle." She devised with Yelena, mutually set on making sure this was as painful an experience as possible. 

Yelena smiled at her creativity. It reminded her of when she first arrived at the Raft and they used to punish bitches together. “Use that. It will hurt more.”

Eyes wide in terror at the sight of the object Taskmaster retrieved, Songbird was barely able to keep herself from trying to fly out the window. “No…seriously c’mon I…dude, that’s too far!” She strung together something of a coherent sentence. But pleading was pointless because Taskmaster took Songbird firmly by the back of her neck and moved her over her knee as she sat down in a chair. Beside her, Laura had paused the tv and, with Ghost, was watching the scene before her unfold. 

“You’re such a bitch!” Songbird snapped, clearly panicking. Ass up, she knew Taskmaster got more than a good look at the Hydra skull tramp stamp she’d been given. Her cheeks went red knowing that everyone could see it…but not as red as her butt was about to be.

Taskmaster took the wooden board by the handle and brushed it lightly over Songbird’s rear. "You will count each blow and say 'thank you, ma'am.' Understood?"

“Wait, do I have to say thank you after every spank or at the end?” Songbird densely asked while already tensing at the object simply touching her bare flesh. 

Taskmaster sighed, and without answering, delivered the first hard blow which forced Songbird to involuntarily screech at the searing pain of being struck, accidentally shattering the nearest window. “O-One…T-Thank you…” She said miserably.

"Thank you what?" Taskmaster asked. 

“Ma’am” Songbird started to groan but it was cut off by the impact of the second blow. ”Fuck!” She yelled, but aware enough to keep herself from using her powers this time. “Two. Thank you, ma’am.” Although she’d seen Sin do this to a sobbing Karli Morganthau loads of times, she herself had actually never been spanked. She now couldn’t help but feel a little bad for thinking Karli was just a wimp.

The next four were delivered in quick succession, giving her just barely enough time to count and say thank you. She flailed about in an attempt to ease the extreme pain she was in, shutting her eyes tight in an effort to do something to distance herself from it. It didn’t work. “W-What number are we on?” She nervously asked after being spanked again. 

"You had better remember quickly. Each blow you fail to count correctly doesn't count towards us being done." Taskmaster hit her again.

“Ahh! Fuck! Fuck you! I’m sorry!” Songbird blurted out curses. “Seven- no eight. Thank you, ma’am.” She just wanted her to let her go.

Delivering the next blow, Taskmaster said: "For those curses, the total number of blows has increased from ten to twelve.” The ones after that came, quickly, mercilessly. Through it all, Songbird managed to keep count and was just about ready to cry as she received the final one. 

Bright red asscheeks shaking, Songbird made a humiliating display of herself as she kicked and whimpered. “Thank you! I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I won’t wander off again! Please stop spanking me now!” She noticeably forgot to count and for that she was spanked again. 

"The number." Taskmaster reminded her.

”Shit! Twelve. It’s twelve!” Songbird said quickly while recoiling. She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down enough to give her the proper response. How much it helped her calm down was debatable, but she said it. “Twelve. Thank you, ma’am…”

It seemed like things were over. But then Taskmaster asked: "What did you learn?" 

“I…ummm” Songbird failed to know the answer that would suffice.

Taskmaster brushed the paddle against her ass to take aim. "Think of an answer. Quick." She raised it high.

Songbird flinched, fully expecting yet another spank. “Ok! N-Not to get drunk and have things escalate into a hostage situation?” She asked. That answer was good enough for the two Black Widow assassins punishing her but mostly because they both were ready to watch her reaction to being anally penetrated. 

"Good enough." Taskmaster gave her captive an opportunity to get up. Which Songbird took as fast as she possibly could. 

Songbird stumbled away, grabbing her butt in an attempt to soothe it. “Now it’s Titania’s turn to be spanked, right?” She asked, accompanied by Titania groaning on the floor as the shock stopped. 

Laura grinned, watching Titania and Yelena. She was especially looking forward to that. But she would have to wait because Songbird’s punishment wasn’t over. Yelena handed Taskmaster her stun baton, to which Songbird backed up against the wall, not liking where this was going one bit. “The hostages were really Titania’s idea…I-I had nothing to do with it…” 

Completely nonplussed by her excuses, Taskmaster stared daggers at Songbird. "Bend over of your own volition and I'll put it in gently. Make Ghost hold you down and I’ll be rough." 

“I feel like I could have just stayed in the Raft for this…” Songbird groaned after carefully weighing her options and electing to comply. Hesitantly, she turned around and slowly bent over. She was wincing before anything even happened. 

"It wouldn't be happening if you had just stayed in the safehouse and watched television." Taskmaster pointed out. True to her word, she was as gentle as possible as she sodomised her with an electric baton. But ‘gentle’ didn’t mean much when Songbird’s butt was already so sore. It only stopped when it was as deep as the assassin could get it without injuring her.  "It's on you to get it out now." She told her matter-of-factly.

Dropping to her knees, Songbird slowly crawled while reaching back and clumsily trying to pull it. “I really hate you…”

"You should probably hate her…" Taskmaster gestured to Titania "...more. She's the reason you got in trouble, I'm just delivering the consequences."

While Songbird was trying (and failing) to pull the baton out, Yelena was pulling up a chair in front of Titania and taking a seat. “Lay down on my lap.” She commanded her as soon as, ina haze of electric shock and drunkenness, Titania tried unsuccessfully to get to her feet.

"Fuck you!" Titania spat, almost literally. She’d learned nothing from the punishment she’d just been through. 

Yelena laughed. If nothing else, Titania was entertaining. “Fuck me? You’re the one who will be penetrated with a baton.”

Titania tried to roll her eyes dismissively, but, in her current state, the effect was more comical than powerful. She tried to walk away to a bedroom but she barely walked a step away from Yelena before the spy had her pinned back down on the ground, running one hand through her hair and the other feeling up her ass. “You can do what I say now, or I will make this much worse for you.”

"Get the fuck off me!" Titania exclaimed, trying to use her superhuman strength to throw the Widow off. 

It would have been successful if not for Yelena’s impressive reflexes. She’d only narrowly moved out of the way in time. Knowing Titania was significantly physically stronger, she resorted to simply shooting the influencer with a widow bite, letting her be shocked…again.

Laura came over, partly to get a better look at the naked hottie convulsing on the floor, and partly to say to Yelena: "If you need help keeping her down, I've got you."

“Hold her down.” Yelena nodded and then faced Titania again. “Pick what I spank you with. If I don’t like your idea I will shoot you again.”

Titania squirmed against Laura's grip unsuccessfully. "Ah, fuck, fine! The same board skullface bitch used on Mels, alright?"

“Good choice.” Yelena gestured to Antonia for the cutting board and, receiving it, she sat back down. She threateningly tapped the board against the palm of her hand. “Let’s try this again. Laura will let you go and then you will get over my knees.”

Laura let go of Titania and she stood up, wobbling as before. Then, noting her hesitation to get in position, Taskmaster tripped and pushed Titania so she fell over Yelena's knee. The spy smiled down at Titania and instructed: “Keep count and say ‘thank you, mommy.’”

"...Please." Titania whimpered, all her bluster and resistance gone in the face of the humiliating prospect of being spanked. It was pointless though because Yelena delivered the first strike to Titania’s butt at full force. The influencer had annoyed her enough that she was determined to make it hurt as much as possible.

"AAAHHH!" Titania cried out, not counting or thanking.

“Smile for the camera!” Yelena exclaimed, but didn’t remind Titania to do as told. Laura had found Titania’s phone and started filming everything that was happening in all its well-deserved humiliation glory.  

"Wha...what...what camera?" Titania asked, dazed, and cried out at the next blow. Then she looked in horror at the camera, and cried out again. "No...NONONONONONO, you can't! Tell her to stop! I'll count, thank you, whatever, just make her stop recording!"

Yelena hit her arse again for the fun of it. “You promise?”

"Ah! Yes! Just make her stop, and delete what she's taken so far!"

“We will delete it…later. I want to watch it.” At most Yelena was considering deleting the video. She stroked her hand against Titania’s rear and then squeezed it. She had a nice butt. 

The influencer squirmed, wincing at the spy’s touch against her freshly spanked ass. "At least make her stop!"

“No.” At least Yelena was honest about it.

Titania looked down, going still. Physical threats didn't do it, but social media humiliation? "You'll delete it all after you've watched it back, right?" Yelena thought about it. Considering that she had no use for it, or means of watching it, when they returned to the Raft, she agreed with a simple ‘yes’. Titania settled down, and silently waited for the blows to fall.

With that out of the way, Yelena raised the board high in the air and brought it down as hard as possible, right at the top of the thighs where it would hurt most.

"AAAH! ONE! THANK YOU MOMMY!" Titania shrieked. Grinning in satisfaction at making someone like Titania submit, Yelena delivered the second proper blow. "AAAAHHH...TWO! THANK YOU MOMMY!" Tears were running down the influencer’s face.

“Are you crying, Mary? That is pathetic.” Yelena gleefully taunted. She never would have expected someone with super strength to be so weak before having the complete displeasure of meeting her.

"N-no..." Titania pathetically lied, squirming in her lap.

Yelena dealt out the third spank. “Be honest.”

"AAAAHH! THREE! THANK YOU MOMMY!" Titania tried unsuccessfully to fight back the tears. But that became impossible as the next five were administered in rapid succession, giving her an anal beating that made it look like she just had yet another struggle with She-Hulk. Nonetheless, she counted truthfully until the eights, when she tried to bring the punishment to a premature end; "TEN! THANK YOU MOMMY!"

“We’re at eight, not ten. Now I will have to give you two extra.” Yelena stated flatly then gave two before she could protest.

"AAAAHHH...FUCK! NINE, THANK YOU MOMMY!" 

She wasn’t given a second to catch her breath before she was mercilessly struck with the paddle again. “Your butt looks purple.” Yelena chuckled. 

It took all of Titania’s self-restraint not to tell her to fuck off. "TEN! THANK YOU, MOMMY!"

They went down two then Yelena grabbed Titania by her hair and painfully tugged at it. She paused, letting the fear of another strike linger for an agonisingly long moment, and then have three more. One of those was simply unwarranted. “You’re done…” Yelena decreed after Titania counted…and then she spanked her again. “Ok now you are done.”

"AH...Fuck..." Titania yelped at the last blow and rolled off her knee, very undignified.

Ghost was blatantly laughing at Titania’s despair. “You fought Tyson?” She asked mockingly. Everyone and their mother knew about the big event. 

"Fuck off!" Titania spat her and then Laura stopped recording and put the phone away, not giving it back.  

Across the room, Songbird had finally just managed to work up the courage to gasp and cry her way through pulling the baton out of her ass, going as slow as possible. It was halfway out when she suddenly noticed Yelena was standing behind her and she forced her to hurry up. And, now with her weapon back, Yelena tapped Songbird’s red rear with the stun baton, forcing her to let out a pained gasp, before turning to Titania and asking:

“Tell me, Mary, was your night on the town worth it?”

"I...I don't know..." Titania answered as she staggered to her feet.

Yelena spun the baton in her hand, briefly activating it and just as quickly shitting it off.  “You don’t know? So when I shove this up your butt you will think it was worth it?”

"What?! No no no...please, don't! It wasn't worth it!"

Titania was so much better after being humiliated and in pain. Yelena wondered how long it would take for her to go back to being insufferable. “Bend over.”

"No...please don't!" Titania begged, but begging didn’t work on Black Widow assassins. It was one of those things they were trained to see as pathetic. 

“Do I need to spank you again and then shove this up you?”

Titania was heavy breathing, "Please don't put anything up my ass! Anywhere else, just not my ass!" She yelled. Sharing a look and a nod with Laura, Taskmaster and the mutant decided to take hold of Titania's arms. The two women bent Titania over an arm of the couch. Her face ended up in the bound Callisto's lap.

“So you want me to shove this up your pussy instead?” Yelena rhetorically asked. She pressed the tip of the baton against the pucker of Titania's butt but didn't yet shove it in. She wanted her to wait, to dread the inevitably of the pain.

Titania squirmed pathetically and begged incoherently as she felt it there.

Yelena pulled it away and then rammed it up her rear with excruciating force, only managing to not do any serious damage because this is a kink story. Titania screamed louder than was probably advisable in an incognito safehouse, and writhed around in agony. She absolutely never gave up the backdoor before coming to prison. Hee criminal charges included "assaulting an officer" because she crushed the fingers of the cop who tried to search her ass during my first cavity search. Hee anal inexperience showed as she was reduced to a blubbering mess by the baton.

While Yelena laughed and enjoyed the sight of Titania rendered so completely powerless, she noticeably didn't seem turned on by it (it was amazing how far she could go before it counted as cheating on Kate). The same could not be said of Ava Starr, who was not so subtly in the corner rubbing herself beneath her white costume. “For the rest of the time you are on this team you will be my bitch.” The spy proclaimed to Titania, pulling out the baton slightly and then going all the way in again.

Titania gasped and cried. It was all she could do to not fall unconscious. But sobbing wasn’t an answer. “Say it. Say you’re my bitch.” Yelena commanded in a voice that was terrifyingly calm. It was suddenly like they hadn't left prison at all.

"I'm your bitch." Titania said, defeated.

Yelena gave Laura and Taskmaster a silent command to let go of Titania which both obeyed, and the influence fell to the floor. She crawled to the opposite couch, and began trying to work the baton out of her. Resistant to the pain of the process, she went slow. But that went ignored as Yelena casually walked across the safehouse and fetched the mac and cheese she made earlier from the fridge and put it in the microwave. 

A few minutes later she returned to the living room and began to eat while occasionally enjoying the sight of Titania trying to pull the baton out and Callisto bound on the couch. Their hostage had remained silent throughout. She’d seen kinkier things in Madripoor clubs of course, but it wasn’t what she expected of her kidnappers.

Punishing Songbird and Titania had been a nice break, but now it was time to get back to business. Yelena took the gag from out of Callisto’s mouth, and then asked: “Do you want some?” Holding up her pot of food as an offering. 

"What do you want from me?" Callisto asked, ignoring the food.

Scoffing at her rejection, Yelena took another bite. “I want you to tell me where your boss is.”

"And I want you to go fuck yourself." Callisto replied. 

Yelena’s mouth went wide in offense. “That is so rude. I offer you a bite of my dinner and you tell me to go fuck myself!” She exclaimed, sounding genuinely a little hurt. But she moved on quickly and delivered in a more professional tone: “You have seen what I do when my team tell me to do that. Do you think I won’t do worse to you?” While yes the punishments had been for the spy’s entertainment, they also were a bit of a show of force for Callisto.

"Not as bad as what my boss will do to me if I send you after her and you die. Which you will if you go after her."

“A) I won’t die. B)…” Yelena didn’t yet say what B was. Instead she set her dinner aside…again…and started to pull down Callisto’s pants. 

Callisto struggled as best as she could in her bonds, which was to say, not very well. She was forced to stop though when Yelena produced her knife and cut her underwear open and then traced her finger down along her sex.

Yelena found her to be quite wet, but didn’t make a comment about it. Nor did she venture any further. This was about torture, not her pleasure. So, aiming her arm at her pussy, Yelena fired a widow bite directly at it. Allowing Callisto’s vagina to be met with a debilitating electric discharge.

"AAAAAIIIGGGGHH..." Callisto shrieked, out loud at first, but the electricity made her bite down and stifled her scream. She fell to the floor and writhed there.

Yelena waited for some of the pain to subside, but not enough so that Callisto was thinking straight. “Tell me where your boss is or I will use your face as a seat next.”

"FFCKYYYU." Callisto grunted between gritted teeth. The words didn’t come out, but Yelena got the gist of her meaning.

“I have heard that a lot today.” Yelena remarked while opening her vest and then unzipping her black jumpsuit and letting it fall to the floor. Down to her underwear, she didn’t hesitate in the slightest to plop her butt on her face. Something which was far from pleasant after a long night of sneaking around, chases, and hallway fights. If Callisto tried to bite her, she’d just shoot her again.

Thankfully for both of them, Callisto didn't try to bite but did struggle. Yelena held her steady though, riding her face like a bull despite how she fought to be free. She wasn’t the first person the spy had forced to be under her rear. 

Callisto kept thrashing for several minutes, but eventually settled down. Yelena then got off her face for a second. With her feet on either side of her head, Callisto could do nothing but look up and watch as Yelena started to take off her panties. They dropped to her ankles, covering Callisto’s mouth. Callisto could do nothing meaningful, but at least tried to shuffle away using her bound arms.

Stepping out of her underwear, which involved kicking Callisto in the face, Yelena sat her bare butt back down on her face. Then she cut open Callisto’s shirt and pinched her right nipple in her hand, twisting it. “Start licking my crack.” There was the very real threat that Callisto either did as told or she lost the nipple.

Callisto obediently started licking, recognising the threat. 

Yelena’s smile grew and she let out a little moan. Callisto wasn’t very good at it, likely because she was being threatened, but that wasn’t really the point of doing this. The spy was more into the humiliation Callisto was clearly experiencing. The way she occasionally coughed and gagged at the taste. How she tried to pull away for air but couldn't.

Callisto had to fight back the urge to vomit as her tongue’s wet tip danced against Yelena’s crack. Her whole body was filled with a sensation of the utmost disgust. She tried desperately to not think about what was happening as she slowly ran her tongue down the crease.

She continued to moan as Callisto licked her disgusting hole, reaching back and giving her a pat on the head. "Okay, now you will lick harder... and move it in circles as well. Lick everything." Punishing someone by having them make out with her ass didn’t count as cheating, right?

Callisto didn’t respond but she couldn’t imagine being any more upset than she was at the moment. Her lips puckered at the awful taste and she was close to sobbing, but she persisted. Her tongue working its way down Yelena’s butt crack in gentle strokes.

Yelena got up just long enough to tauntingly ask: “Yes or no, do I taste good?” There was an answer that would end with Callisto being shocked again.

"Look, do you want money? I can get you money." Callisto pleaded. 

It was a bit weird hearing someone say money. Yelena was used to cigarettes as a primary currency at this point. Either way though she was not tempted. “Tell me where Sharon Carter is and I will stop.”

Callisto hesitated. "If I tell you, she'll kill me."

“And if you don’t tell me I will kill you.” Yelena stated plainly.

"Two members of your team are an influencer and a Black Widow cosplayer." Callisto pointed out. "I don't think you have cold-blooded killing in you."

“Cosplayer?” Yelena laughed. “My sister wishes she had a vest with so many pockets.” That part of what Callisto said Yelena took in jest. What she didn’t find funny was her thinking she wasn’t capable of killing someone in cold blood. It was a massive insult to an assassin as exceptional as herself. “But you are right, I don’t just kill in cold blood. That is easy. I make them suffer first.”

"Your sister..." That gave Callisto some pause. If this woman really was Black Widow's sister, it implied she was a cut above the kind of goon Callisto thought had kidnapped her. Though it still didn't explain why she was hanging out with that mutant-Jake-Paul.

“Yes. She’s very cool. Do you want me to get you her autograph?” Yelena asked sarcastically, but her tone made it hard to read.

"What do you want?" Callisto asked, a little more cautious knowing who she was dealing with. "Apart from telling you where Sharon is."

But there was no compromise that would mean anything to Yelena. “That is all I want.”

"She'll kill you, and then me!" Callisto pointed out again.

“We keep doing this.” Yelena groaned at the cycle they were trapped in. “Either tell me where she is or I will kill you now. At least if you tell me you have time to try to leave Madripoor.”

Callisto hesitated for a long time, considering it, and Yelena not so patiently awaited her decision. "Who are you working for?" Callisto asked. 

“You don’t need to know.” Yelena replied. 

"I think I do if I'm weighing up who is more dangerous."

That seemed reasonable enough. “Me not being able to tell you should be enough to guess.” 

Callisto squirmed in her bindings, once again making a futile attempt at escape. "All that tells me is that you don't want to say. It doesn't tell me you're more dangerous than Sharon."

Yelena looked at Antonia as if to say that Callisto was testing the limits of her patience and she really wanted to shoot her. Dealing with people was so exhausting. “If I tell you, I have to kill you. You are making letting you live very difficult.”

They had Callisto pretty much dead to rights. "If I tell you, you need to make sure Sharon disappears. I can't run the risk of her coming after me."

“We can do that.” Yelena said immediately, absolutely certain of their victory.

"There's a black market auction tomorrow evening in warehouse B of the Low Town Docks." Callisto explained. "Security will be tight, but you can get in if you're selling something."

“Thank you.” Yelena nodded. “Is there anything else I should know?”

"Auction items include stolen Stark technology, weapons, vibranium and superpowered slaves. You're gonna need something of that calibre to get in."

Considering what they had available, Yelena would have to get creative. The outlines of a plan were already forming in her head, ones which she would go over in depth with Antonia later. But first she needed to get rid of Callisto. Knowing what she knows, letting her live was a liability. 

The spy took a step away from the bound captive on the floor, and then looked around the room and mercilessly asked: “Who wants to kill her?”

"What?! You said you'd let me go!” Callisto yelled. 

Yelena only shrugged. “I lied” She was absolutely unburdened by going back on her own word. “You should have eaten last meal when offered.” If Yelena were to pick a last meal before imminent execution, she would have chosen macaroni and cheese. In her own weird, twisted way, previously offering the dish was meant as a small consolation. 

"Why don't you do it if you want it done." Laura questioned. 

Yelena picked up her knife and then crashed on the couch. “It’s been a long night and I just tortured two people. I am tired.” The idea of having to go through the process of hiding her body somewhere made the spy yawn.

Entirely unrelated to executing someone, Songbird raised her hand and asked: “C-Can we forget about making someone eat me out and let me get dressed now?”

But Yelena took that as her volunteering and agreed. “If you kill her, yes you can get dressed.”

“Wait…” Songbird started to say that she really didn't want to do that, but decided against it. “O-Ok. Is this a take her out back and kill her deal or…?”

"Please, please don't do this..." Callisto began to beg, suddenly realising these women weren’t bluffing.

The fact that she was begging for her life made a sickening knot form in Songbird’s stomach. She’d seen a lot of messed up shit…but the way her pleas went ignored by everyone in the room horrified her. It took everything Songbird had to force her to stand up.

“Are you sure about this?" Taskmaster asked Yelena quietly.

Yelena had already decided and nothing short of Kate Bishop magically appearing right now and telling her to do something else would make her change her mind. “What else would we do with her?” 

Taskmaster considered it for a moment, and then nodded her assent. "Very well. I'll follow and make sure she goes through with it."

Songbird had managed to start dragging Callisto towards the door, apologising every time she accidentally bumped her against the furniture. The captive begged and tried to pull away unsuccessfully as her arms were still bound. “I’m really sorry about this but can you work with me here?” Songbird pleaded to the person who was being taken to their death.

"Work with you?!" Callisto nearly shrieked. "You're about to kill me!"

Watching the messy struggle unfold, Taskmaster suggested: "It would be advisable to gag her." Then handed Yelena’s gun over. 

“What am I supposed to gag her with?!” Songbird snapped, getting increasingly more stressed as she took the gun. The answer came when Yelena threw Callisto’s removed pair of underwear at her.

"PLEASE, JUST LET M-" Callisto’s plea was silenced by her own panties in her mouth. Now Songbird  really felt like she was back in HYDRA, while she clumsily forced Callisto into the hall. She was trying to be gentle with her. Key word: trying.

The walk to the river was absurdly difficult, involving a lot of Songbird failing to make the stumbling Callisto comply with walking to her own death. As they approached the water, the complete weight of what she was about to do hit her. Yelena’s gun in her hand felt unbearably heavy.

Callisto went still as they reached the river's edge, and she looked down into the inky black waters. This was it. 

Songbird could hear her own heart pounding as she raised the gun. She then aimed the gun just off enough so the bullet wouldn’t hit Callisto and then she fired. 

Callisto yelped into the gag (fortunately muffled enough for Taskmaster to not hear) and fell into the water. As she went under the surface, her collar short-circuited and her powers returned. She ripped herself free of the bonds and swam away as quietly as she could.

Songbird turned and walked away, acting as if she was stunned to silent shock at what she just did. 

"Well done." Taskmaster said quietly and levelly as they returned to the safehouse.

The rest of the night was passed by The Thunderbolts in their own separate corners of the safehouse. Titania took an unreasonably long time to get the baton out, and then in a combination of exhaustion and drunkenness passed out on the floor. Missing the feeling of Darcy’s tongue at night, Ghost found her way to the bedroom and drifted off to sleep with her hand down her suit. Taskmaster had a fitful night's sleep. Sleeping in an unfamiliar place set her on edge, even if it was more comfortable than her cell. Laura was the opposite: she went out like a light, able to sleep anywhere. Yelena rested on the couch watching tv for a total of ten minutes before she wasn’t able to keep her eyes open any longer. And Songbird didn’t find rest at all despite how she tried. Instead she lay in the darkness silently contemplating years of bad decisions. 

—————————————————————

                    Day Two

—————————————————————

The Thunderbolts convened around the table for breakfast (Yelena was a surprisingly decent cook), and to discuss the next stage of the mission. Yelena sat at the head of the table, holding court. Titania was still naked, and very conscious of that.

"So what's the plan?" Taskmaster asked, swallowing some bacon.

“We will need to infiltrate the auction...” Yelena began, taking a bite of her food. “…so I will pretend to sell Laura, that way we can keep our eyes on Sharon. Antonia, you and everyone else will perform overwatch. When the auction is over, you can capture her and then we can be done.” She was really sick of being away from Kate now. 

Laura looked up from the sausage she had been devouring. "You'll do what with me?" She almost choked. 

“Sell you.” Yelena replied as casually as one might say they were going to the store.

Laura stared Yelena down. She could feel her claws pushing between her knuckles but didn’t yet let them pop out. "And when were you planning on asking me about this?" She asked in a low, angry voice. But Yelena didn’t say anything. She just looked confused by the concept of asking permission. "...About selling me. As property." Laura clarified, getting increasingly angry.

Yelena dismissively laughed off her concern. “I will not actually sell you. We just need to get into the auction.” It seemed so matter-of-fact to her. 

If there was one thing Laura didn’t like, it was being treated like property. She’d spent a majority of her life at the whims of scientists who poked and prodded her. She’d watched the other ‘experiments’ be tortured and killed. She knew all too well what it was like to belong to someone. "And what will that involve?" 

“I do not know. Why are you interrogating me?” Yelena jokingly asked, naive to the concept of proper timing. The tension across the table was so thick it could have been cut with a knife. 

"Because you're talking...about taking me into...an auction...as a slave." Laura said, slowly and with subdued fury. "I'm not doing that if I don't know what it involves."

Yelena sighed, annoyed by her very reasonable concern. It was so rude that she was making her explain her plans to human traffic her. “You will need to act like you have been programmed to obey commands. Speaking of, we need to make trigger words for you.” She already had a few crass ones in mind. 

"You're assuming I agree to this plan at all." Laura pointed out.

Yelena took another bite of her food and then aggressively set her utensil down. “Do you have a better plan?” 

"We could just sneak in without anybody having to pretend to be a slave." Laura suggested. 

“And then what? I’ve snuck into auctions before and it is not easy. It will probably be heavily guarded. If we get discovered, which you will, we’ll have to fight and that gives Sharon a chance to escape.” Yelena didn’t realise she would have to point out the obvious so much. 

Laura paused, not really able to argue with that. "Okay, but how do you explain my outfit. A band T-shirt and jeans doesn't exactly scream 'living weapon for sale.'"

“…Good point.” That was something Yelena hadn’t thought of. 

Having been silently picking at her food, Ghost was the only other member to chime in. “Well she could go naked. That’s how most Raft auctions go.” 

"Fuck no." Laura firmly refuted. 

But of course Yelena was nodding her head in consideration of the idea. “It could work…” 

With a snikt, Laura’s adamantium claws cut through her knuckles and glimmered under the kitchen lighting. "No it fucking won't, because I won't fucking do it." 

Ghost narrowed her gaze at Laura. “You and your weird cellmate didn’t seem to mind being the ones bidding at a bitch auction a couple weeks ago.” It was a bit ironic that the spooky ghost woman who was more than a touch of a sadist was calling someone else weird…

"She bid, I didn't, and anyway, I'm nobody's bitch." Laura was little more than a hostage when Gwen dragged to that stupid auction for who got to take turns with Cassie Lang. 

“You won’t have to eat anybody’s pussy if that is what you’re worried about.” That was Yelena’s own harsh way of soothing the mutant. It didn’t help. 

Just very briefly entertaining the idea, Laura asked: "And what would I have to do?"

“Just stand still unless I tell you to do something.” Shrugged Yelena. “Maybe dance?” She laughed at her own suggestion, but Laura’s unenthusiastic reaction made her add: “I’m joking. I can have you show your claws.”

Laura remained unconvinced. "I still don't want to be puppeted around on the auction block-" Barely had the words escaped her lips before she fell from the table, convulsing with electricity. 

"You'll do as you're told, prisoner. Don't forget, you're still Raft property, even here." Thunderstorm spoke into her ear, a sadistic smirk present in her tone. She could hear Laura’s gurgles through the microphone and it delighted her. 

It seemed a little intense but Yelena hardly argued against Laura being forced to comply. “Any other problems with the plan?” The spy asked the table.

Of course Titania’s hand shot up. "When can I get some new clothes?" The arm that wasn’t currently raised in the air had become busy assuming the role as the only form of covering her tits had. 

“We don’t have money.” Yelena allowed her to gather that she’d need to get creative if she didn’t want to add public nudity to her list of charges.

Undeterred, Titania rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Well, you're gonna have to figure something out, cause I can't go out like this."

“Ghost will steal you some clothes.” The only reason Yelena said that was because there was, sadly, no possible way they could incognito if Titania was completely naked. No matter how much she would have liked to see how the influencer dealt with being seen by the masses like that. 

"I'm a 34-25-35, bra size 33b" Titania was still under the illusion that she would be getting something fitted and designer.

“I’ll make sure to remember that.” Ghost smirked. Titania didn’t thank her, and completely missed the sarcasm.

-

With night having once again fallen, the Thunderbolts stood atop the bones of a new structure scouting the warehouse. They could see the attendees were slowly arriving, expensive vehicles navigating down a labyrinth of shipping containers. 

"Sweatpants. Fucking sweatpants?!" Titania complained to Ghost for the 90th time since leaving the safehouse. Her top, if anything, was even worse: A pink T-shirt with the slogan ‘Who, what, when, where, wine’ and a bottle of red depicted on the front. She thought prison jumpsuits were a crime against fashion but this…wasn’t worse per se but definitely just as bad. 

Ghost shrugged. “It was the best I could find.” It was a flat out lie and anyone with a working brain cell knew that but she didn't care. Seeing Titania dressed-down was funny. 

"Hey, at least you get to wear something." Laura said, putting the last of her clothes in her backpack and handing it off to Antonia for safe keeping. The reaction to the, now very naked, Laura was nearly unanimous. That being a subtle second glance – but it wasn’t if they hadn't all seen each other undressed in the showers before. Nonetheless, Laura subconsciously covered herself with her arms. It felt different from the showers, even though it wasn’t substantially.

Maybe a part of that distinction was having to walk the short, yet uncomfortable, distance towards the warehouse bare while Yelena, though still in her usual attire, took on a more professional, detached persona. Although just an act, there was the very strong air that Laura was nothing more than Yelena’s property. An item to be sold.

Yelena diverted her attention from Laura’s shapely butt (though nowhere near as nice as hers) and looked through a pair of binoculars. She could see Sharon Carter was getting out of a car and walking towards the warehouse. “She’s on her way.”

Leaving the rooftop, Laura tried to appear like a brainwashed drone, obedient to Yelena's commands. She didn't know how well she sold it. Shockingly, improv classes weren't part of her living-weapon training. She hoped Yelena's story could account for how scared, angry, and embarrassed she probably looked. 

Before entering the auction, all attendees were required to be cleared. Not just anyone could come inside after all. A Sable officer at the door stopped the both of them with a raised hand. "Name and affiliation." She asked.

Slipping seamlessly into character, Yelena replied in a fairly convincing English accent: “Dani Ardor. Unaffiliated.” She knew how to hide her Russian accent when she needed to – after all, a spy would be pretty terrible at their job if they couldn’t blend in – but rarely did so due to a lack of sufficient reason. 

The officer looked at her, incredulous. "Unaffiliated?" She scanned the list for the name. 

Lo and behold there was a Dani Ardor on the guest list. The real Dani was currently tied up (or dead) somewhere on the pier. It had been a whole day since the spy tortured Callisto for information and she spent a majority of that day preparing to infiltrate this auction. She naturally thought of assuming the identity of one of the guests. 

"I see. You're listed as a seller this evening, Ms. Ardor. I assume this..." The officer gestured to Laura. "...Is your merchandise?"

Yelena kept her eye contact on the officer, maintaining an act of ambivalence towards Laura. “Yes”

"Doesn't seem like she has an entry in the auction catalogue yet. You should sort that out before the auction, there's still time."

Yelena convincingly played the part of being annoyed (because she was). “I only recently acquired her so she is a last minute addition. Just replace her with what I had before.” 

"House policy, sorry, all auction items have to be properly catalogued and advertised. Go backstage to the prep room and talk to Linda, she'll deal with it, get your girl collared, catalogued and barcoded ready for sale."

"Barcoded?!" Laura involuntarily blurted out.

Mindless. She was supposed to be mindless. Yelena knew from personal experience as one, that killers mentally rewired to follow every command didn’t blurt things out. “Eighteen” She seemingly stated randomly, but it was one of the control words they went over. In this case, it was a discipline command.

Laura cried out and gripped her head, falling to her knees in exaggerated pain. She let a few moments pass to really sell it, then shakily stood up. Satisfied, Yelena grabbed her by the hand and forced her to keep up as they made their way towards the back. 

Backstage they could see various auction items; artifacts in glass cases, technology in various forms of interactive display and, yes, people in restraints. In particular, they saw a small chain-gang of naked, blue-skinned women from Talokan being marched past. They wore slave collars, and each had a unique barcode tattooed on her thigh.

After giving Laura a brief look of reassurance, Yelena saw a woman in a suit with an earpiece, shouting orders and receiving reports with the unmistakable demeanor of a manager, likely the aforementioned Linda. She turned to approach the duo. "Who are you?" She asked, dispensing with pleasantries.

“Dani Ardor. Here to catalogue my merchandise.” Yelena responded so casually that it was believable that Dani was her real name. 

"It's rather last minute." Linda chided. "What is the nature of your merchandise?"

Yelena simply gestured to Laura and Linda rolled her eyes. "Yes, I see it's a naked woman, I'm asking what's special about her?"

“She is an enhanced mutant weapon. Buttress.” Yelena gave the word for Laura to reveal her claws. Really she just wanted an excuse to say a silly word and Laura was just forced to be serious and issue her claws and hold them up as instructed.

It piqued the manager’s interest at least. "...And she is completely tame?" She asked, walking around Laura slowly.

“If you know the words, yes.” Yelena nodded.

"Intriguing. You and I can sit down to produce some ad copy for her, in the meantime, I'll have my men process her..." 

Laura gave Yelena a look that seemed to imply she would commit violence if anyone came close to her with a tattoo needle. There was no way she’d let them mark her like a prison bitch. 

“I notice you barcoded them…” Yelena pointed to the Talokonian women “…that won’t work on her. She heals fast.”

"That's fine. We can put a cattle-tag in her ear instead." Linda said, unbothered. "Is she able to be displayed before the bidding? It will definitely help her opening bid if she is."

“Yes.” Yelena responded. She realised that it meant humiliating Laura further, but it would have been suspicious if she didn’t attempt to get the highest bid possible.

As two men took Laura by the arms and walked her away to be processed, she silently mouthed: 'I hate you' 

-

A collar was put around Laura’s neck, a cattle-tag in her ear, and HD pictures were taken of her from all angles for the digital catalogue. When that was done she was taken to be displayed on a platform in the bar of the temporary auction house for all to see. She stood there, blushing bright red and standing in the position she was told to (her feet shoulder width apart, her hands behind her head).

People approached Laura, inspecting her body without the slightest hint of shame about what they were doing. The same was done to the women standing beside her, each stripped of their individuality and rendered nothing but lifeless forms to be objectified. Yelena, for all her gaps in morality, even felt a little bad about seeing Laura forced to endure the humiliating procedure…but felt it was necessary for the mission. 

Laura did her best to ignore the bidders appraising her like a piece of meat. She looked around the room at the other sales items being exhibited. There were a couple of suits of knock-off Iron Man armour, a chunk of vibranium, and a platoon of Doom Bots for sale, none of which got as much attention as the naked women on platforms like her own. She saw a mother and daughter being sold as a set (the mother could stretch her body, the daughter could turn invisible, which they demonstrated on command for the bidders). There was a redhead, 18 or 19, whose ad copy claimed she could manipulate matter at the atomic level. She looked nervous in her power-suppression collar. Finally, Laura saw a Japanese woman whose ad copy claimed she was some kind of super-soldier. They met eyes and they shared a sense of kinship.

One thing about being put on display, was it wasn’t really all that different from being the new girl in prison. While most were silent in their perverted observations, there were certainly those who felt comfortable enough to share their thoughts. “Wonder what she’s supposed to do…” muttered one cybernetically enhanced, tattooed woman to another. Followed by the other replying with a laugh to her tone: “I’m not sure but she’s got a nice pair of tits!”

It took all of Laura’s self-restraint, all of it, to not leap down from the platform and start gutting people. She breathed heavily, looking exactly as humiliated as she was, and silently praying to a god she didn't believe in for this to be over quickly.

“I have eyes on the target” Yelena spoke into her comm as she spotted Sharon approaching Laura curiously. “She’s called the Power Broker and she’s wearing a hoodie and a jacket? That is so lame.” The spy added, remarking on the generally unimpressive wear for someone with such a fearsome reputation. She expected Sharon to dress like the queen of Madripoor, not like she’d just come off the street. But the way she carried herself at least fit someone with her background, simultaneously alert yet calm.

"Where and when do you want to make the extraction?" Taskmaster asked over the radio.

Yelena bumped into a rich looking asshole and in response she cursed at him before answering Antonia: “Out back when the auction is over. When she goes to her car.”

"Acknowledged." Taskmaster replied.

Sharon was now currently running her hand down Laura’s thigh. “…An experiment with a regenerative healing factor. We need her.” She spoke into her phone while feeling up Laura. There was something in Sharon’s gaze that indicated she recognised her. 

Laura gave her a look of pure hatred and Sharon noticed. It was unusual given the fact that the catalogue clearly listed that Laura was supposed to be programmed. She was about to say something when one of her hired guns whispered something into her ear regarding the fact that Callisto was still missing. She turned her back on Laura but noted how she was easily the most interesting thing here.

"Bidders, please take your seats. Exhibitors, please collect your sales items and bring them to the auction stage." The PA system announced. 

Yelena watched where Sharon sat as she herself walked towards Laura, commanding her down. "You owe me big time back at the Raft." Laura whispered while she followed the spy’s lead.

“What do you want?” Yelena whispered back

"I don't know yet." Laura answered weakly. "But I'll call it in."

Much like her older sister, Yelena hated owing people favors, but she couldn’t think of a way out of one as they approached the auction stage.

They were assigned a place in line backstage. They were selling the tech items first, knowing that the crowd was more excited for the slaves and would stay for the tech in anticipation. Ahead of Yelena and Laura in the slave queue were the trio of Talokanil women, and the young redhead mutant.

Yelena had seen enough aliens to not be surprised by the blue women ahead of her. Likewise for the redhead mutant, although she did briefly look at her behind. All of them looked like they’d be bitch material in the Raft. Which was a standard way Yelena naturally measured people nowadays.

Laura looked behind them, seeing the dark haired young woman sobbing and being comforted by her mother as both prepared to be sold. "Not a single person in that audience deserves to live." The mutant whispered to Yelena. She seemed more upset than she ever had in the Raft.

“They don’t.” Yelena agreed. It was pretty disturbing even for her. She was nearing the point of just starting to shoot people but she didn't. “But we either kill them all or we can get Sharon.” 

"I know which I prefer." Laura muttered but, despite her principled words, she didn't start slashing people.

As [legally distinct Atom Eve] was sold, they were called forward to the auction stage. Yelena got back into character and suppressed anything she was feeling before striding out beside the seemingly emotionless Laura. The spy looked at the crowd and then gestured to Laura for dramatic effect. She’d attended her fair share of prison auctions, but never been a saleswoman. It seemed like far too much talking and pretending to be enthusiastic. “This is Weapon X-23.” She introduced, tone flat. “She has these…” Yelena abruptly grabbed Laura by her right arm and raised it before pretending to whisper a command in her ear that would make her pop her claws out.

Laura extended the claws, staring dead eyed into the middle distance. She hoped her attempt to remain expressionless was working. Yelena then allowed her to lower her arm and then tapped her on the leg. “And these…” The spy indicated for her to raise her right leg and extend her foot claw. The mutant skillfully balanced on one foot, extending her toe-claw. 

Titania sighted, and commented over the radio. "You suck at this, I would be selling the shit out of that girl."

“Then you tell me what to say.” Yelena muttered under her breath, just loud enough for Titania to hear.

Before Titania could answer, Thunderstorm did. "The claws are razor sharp and made of adamantium, the strongest metal known. They'll go through body armour or the flesh of your enemies like a hot knife through butter."

Yelena rolled her eyes and recited what Thunderstorm said, gagging at the theatrics coming out of her mouth. It was so…dramatic. 

"Her claws are coated in the stuff, and she has a regenerative healing factor. She can survive anything short of an airstrike, whether the enemy inflicts it or you do. Living weapon or pain-slave, or both, X-23 is what you need. And have her assume some poses, not just stand there like she's directing traffic." Thunderstorm continued. 

“…And have her assume some-“ Yelena stopped repeating what Thunderstorm was saying as soon as she realized that part was directed towards her and not for her to say. Turning to Laura, she commanded her to put one hand on her hip. Laura did as instructed, retracting her claws.

"Talk about her mind control conditioning and show it off by putting her in some humiliating poses. Make her dance if you want." Thunderstorm was really into it. Her enthusiasm for selling women in auctions would have made her a perfect fit for prison. 

“With the right code words, she will do whatever you want. Her face is a very comfortable seat.” Yelena improvised with a grin. “Now she will dance.”

Laura shot Yelena a withering look that she disguised as the beginning of the dance. As much as she hated doing it, she moved with grace and skill across the stage, spinning and leaping, showing off her athletic body to all. Yelena was certainly surprised she could dance with any more skill than simply stumbling around. 

“You can stop now.” Yelena told Laura, still snickering at the whole dance routine. “The bidding will start at five million.”

The bids started coming in thick and fast. Some particularly frantic tapping of their tablets was visible from Sharon and another woman representing the Ten Rings. “It seems you are worth a lot.” Yelena whispered into Laura’s ear as the bidding war unfolded. 

"I'm flattered." Laura hissed back insincerely.

“She will now get on her knees like a puppy.” Yelena proclaimed to the bidders. To which Laura got down on all fours, imagining impaling Yelena on her claws and pulling her apart like pulled pork.

After another minute of frenzied bidding (and several more humiliating poses) the auctioneer said: "That is 40 million dollars, 40 million dollars, do I hear 45 million? 40 million dollars going once...going twice...SOLD to the Power Broker for 40 million dollars!"

Clapping at her own victory, Sharon looked back at her rival bidders with a punchable expression of pride.

Basing her next course of action solely on prison etiquette, Yelena shoved Laura off the stage so Sharon could collect her and then sighed in relief that the auction was almost over. “Follow her.” She commanded Laura and then assured the approaching Sharon: “Her activation code will be given to you on your way out.”

“Got her.” Sharon spoke into her phone and then snapped her fingers for Laura to follow. Blank-eyed, Laura followed her as instructed. It was all she could do to fight back tears of humiliation as she walked naked through the crowd of bidders. This was somehow worse than every prison shower combined.

They went backstage and two of her hired guns secured an inhibitor/shock collar around Laura while Sharon was given a piece of paper with the ‘activation code’ by Linda. The Power Broker looked at the words on it…and then ripped it in half just as the collar sealed shut around Laura’s throat. "False advertising is really unethical, you know. For a supposed mindless weapon you give a lot of sideways glances. Kind of makes me think something’s up. But don't worry. You’ll match your sales pitch soon enough.” A black bag was thrown over Laura’s head. “Oh and I don’t know what your mutie biology is, but you’re going to be met with a very painful shock if the collar doesn’t outright shut your abilities off.”

Laura thought she could maybe extend her claws and got ready to begin slashing at where she thought Carter's thugs were. But her claws didn’t even break through her skin before the shock her collar gave her felt like red-hot metal searing into her neck. Laura cried out and fell to one knee, providing an easy opportunity to secure her in restraints. She thrashed viciously as she was loaded onto a pallet and dragged out of the building, naked, hooded and hogcuffed

“She’s going out back. Are you in position?” Yelena asked over the radio. 

Any minute now the rest of the team was supposed to arrive, kill the guards, and then grab Sharon so they could all leave the backward cesspit of a criminal country as soon as possible. But they never came. The vehicle started to move. And Yelena was of no help as she was slowly being cornered inside after someone found the real Dani Ardor…

—————————————————————

A few minutes prior, the second half of the team lay in wait for Yelena to order them to corner Sharon…

“So…your outfits not so bad.” Songbird made small talk with Titania as she sat beside her. “Like you pull it off way better than I could.”

Titania gave her a friendly smile. "I mean, yeah, I can pull anything off, but there's pulling it off and pulling it off, you know?"

“Totally. It must be so cool just having your self-confidence. I can’t imagine what that’s like.” Life never really gave Songbird much of a chance to feel confident in what she did. It had really just been high school, to Ryker’s, to a short criminal career, to the Raft.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, you're a smokeshow too, Mels. Once we get our pardons, you've got the makings of an influencer. I mean, you'll need to get the Nazi tattoos lasered off, but after that..." Titania knew they still had a few missions to go before their freedom was earned, but she was fairly confident in her ability to survive them all. 

Songbird blushed, feeling incredibly flattered that Titania of all people thought she was hot enough to be an influencer. “Believe me, the first thing I’m doing when I’m free is getting rid of the tattoos!” She laughed. “What about you? What will you do when you get out?”

"Step one: I tweet once. Step two: It breaks the Internet. Step 3: I hold an auction for every streaming service to decide who gets to make a show of my life going forward."

“Wow yeah that’s a solid plan.” Songbird smiled. Then, wanting to hopefully make amends for needing rescuing the previous night, she invited Ghost and Taskmaster into the conversation by asking them: “What about you two?”

But Ghost wasn’t looking to have a team bonding moment. Her whole life she’d been alone, isolated, unable to have a normal life. Her alias was more than a cool name. It was a description of her existence. She was subject to watching a world she couldn't touch pass her by. It followed that her time on a team would be the same. “I’m an ex-con whose only job has been killing people for the government. Assuming I don’t break the law again, I’ll probably end up working for Baskin-Robbins.”

“I actually don’t think they hire ex-cons…” Songbird replied, knowing that fact from personal experience. It turns out Baskin-Robbins really did always find out. 

"I honestly don't know." Taskmaster had a more earnest answer. "Since I was a child, I have been a tool of violence against others. I will aim to be something else. Anything else. I don't know exactly what yet."

“…You could become an influencer with me” Songbird offered half-jokingly. “Pretty sure that doesn’t involve violence.”

Taskmaster tilted her head. "Influencer?" She asked, sounding out the unfamiliar word. "As in a propagandist? Or seduction agent?"

“Well uh kinda both of those I guess.” Songbird beamed. It was funny how well both of those applied.

Taskmaster thought about it, more-so out of politeness than genuine consideration. "Then I'm not sure I'm suitable for either, given my scars and lack of social skills."

But whatever sweet conversation was being had was put to an end when a very bored Ghost asked: “So Fascist Pinky Pie, why are you called Songbird? You didn’t give yourself that name, did you?” 

“Oh…no, not really. I mean kinda I guess.” Songbird looked around, avoiding eye-contact. The question clearly struck a nerve within her. “When I was a kid I used to sing like constantly so my mom used to call me her little songbird…and I just thought it sounded like a pretty solid alias to use, y’know?” There was something funny about how it was a name her mother used for her before she was arrested and then Melissa had used the name while committing crimes to end up locked up herself. An unfortunate penchant for incarceration seemed to run in her family. 

Ghost rolled her eyes at the story. “How much longer do we have to wait?” She asked Taskmaster. “Give it ten more minutes and you, Pinky Pie, and Tit are going to have a bloody threesome.”

"We are waiting on Yelena's order. We move when she says to move." Taskmaster said simply. 

That was when there was a screech of tires, an awful crash, and two vehicles came barreling down the road and crashed into the base of the building the Thunderbolts stood atop. Just as anyone went to figure out what happened, an object ricocheted off the support beams of the structure, and then dropped to the ground. It was a smoke bomb.

"What the fuck?" Titania exclaimed as smoke consumed them. It was impossible to see a thing except in the case of Taskmaster, who pulled down her visor and activated infrared vision. She could see a figure sauntering toward them, a knife in hand. In responde, the trained Black Widow assassin pulled out her bow, notched an arrow, and loosed it as fast as the mechanics of a bow allow.

That’s when the assailant threw their knife against a wall. It bounced and knocked the arrow off course, and then proceeded to ping off the wall towards Taskmaster.

“Sorry to interrupt your night.” The attacker spoke calmly from the fog. She was Matsumoto Poindexter, but she was better known by her moniker: Bullseye. A psychopathic, opportunistic assassin who used her occupation to fulfil her sadistic tendencies, Bullseye had recently escaped a hospital in New York after a run-in with Daredevil and now found herself operating in Madripoor. 

Ghost put on her mask right before a needle nearly hit her in the eye. “What the hell?” She then noticed there was a paperclip piercing her armor. 

"One enemy, female, impressive reflexes. Follow her voice." Taskmaster advised her compatriots as she now drew her sword.

Bullseye was using the support beams as cover, and now noticed a tool box left out on the unfinished structure. She retrieved a hammer and sent it hurtling at Titania while she ricocheted a handful of nails at Taskmaster that acted like bullets coming from several directions.

Titania was struck by the hammer and went out like a light. If she were a normal human the blow would have been fatal. Taskmaster though managed to dodge under most of the nails. Those that hit her damaged her visor's visual input. She was going off sound now, which worked fine for her. She out-maneuvered Bullseye and swung her sword in an arc meant to decapitate the attacker.

Bullseye narrowly dodged and pulled a dagger off her belt and threw it against the ground so it bounced and nearly hit Taskmaster in the chest. But the close range worked to Taskmaster’s advantage, as she twisted to avoid the dagger. At these close quarters another sword swing would have been unhelpful. Instead, she made a jab with her left hand intended to hit Bullseye in the throat and incapacitate her.

Bullseye moved but not fast enough to avoid being hit in the jaw and stumbling against an incomplete wall. There was a crack as she moved her mouth and then smiled, teeth red with blood. She’d lost a tooth and moved it to the front and spit it at Taskmaster with enough force to shoot it through her severely cracked visor, resulting in it lodging itself just above her eye.

Taskmaster staggered at the hit, taking a step back. She knew she was on the back foot and accepted that. Instead of panicking, or trying to mount an impromptu offensive, she waited for her opponent to strike, intent on making her suffer for whatever she did.

Bullseye tried to reclaim her advantage by putting as much distance between her and her target as she could. She procured two throwing stars and tossed one at Taskmaster and then the other at Ghost now advancing on her. Although Ava Starr phased through it, it hit the wall behind her and then boomeranged back and stabbed her in the back.

Hearing still as her guide (her visor's vision was now literally static) Taskmaster dodged out of the way of the throwing star by the narrowest of margins. With her shoulder towards Bullseye, she made the most efficient, though least graceful, tactical decision: she charged, intent on bowling her over.

Her charge did in fact hit, but Bullseye used another dagger and jammed it into her side before falling to the ground. The hitwoman’s first instinct was to crawl away, but instead she reached for her holster and attempted to empty her clip into Taskmaster. 

The dagger had to go through her armour. Though it drew blood, it didn't incapacitate her, and she grabbed her gun. They found themselves wrestling over it as Songbird tended to both of the wounded, having already confirmed Titania was alive (again) and now assisting Ghost in pulling out the throwing star.

Bullseye frantically reached for the fallen knife with one hand while grabbing Taskmaster by the throat with the other. It was rough, brutal. She just barely was able to get ahold of the blade but did and attempted to send it into the gap in her side she had already made…but dropped it when Taskmaster drove her head (incapable of seeing anything but still covered in a titanium helmet) directly into Bullseye’s face with all the force she could muster.

Bullseye’s head slammed back, bleeding. The back of her skull hit the ground hard but it still didn’t wipe the smile off her face. Weakly, she finally got the dagger again and stabbed Taskmaster in her previous wound and then twisted the knife as much as she could before losing her grip.

Taskmaster cried out at her successful invocation of her pain, just as Ghost staggered to her feet while Songbird excruciatingly pulled the serrated weapon from out of her body. It hurt to move but Ava forced herself forwards. “I’m going to enjoy killing you.” She said to Bullseye, who was trying to crawl away.

Bullseye reached for whatever she could. Finding the spilled box of nails from earlier, she sent them hurtling at Ghost but she phased through them. “Fuck.” Bullseye cursed with a chuckle, not particularly intimidated by her disadvantage or the woman charging toward her.

The hitwoman was grabbed by the throat and sent tumbling down the stairwell. She groaned as she hit the landing and tried to get back up. Ghost reached to rip her heart out but Bullseye grabbed a pin from her hair and drove it through her arm. Ghost screamed and Bullseye stumbled to her feet. Heavy breathing and limping, the hitwoman started to try to go downstairs.

Taskmaster chased the attacker, sword in hand. She knew that she was injured now, and hoped she would surrender, seeing she was outmatched. 

With a sigh, Bullseye turned around and rolled her head back with a grin and then hung it low in surrender. She really needed to stop getting into fights on rooftops…

"Kneel. Hands behind your head." Taskmaster instructed. Only when Bullseye complied did she approach, taking a ziptie from her belt, intent on securing her wrists behind her. 

But hands still behind her head, Bullseye flicked the other pin out of her hair, let it hit the ceiling, and then it fell back down. It was bound for the crack of Taskmaster’s visor, where it would pierce through her right eye if she didn't move in time. Thankfully, she evaded…but it still struck her shoulder. Teeth grit, she elbowed Bullseye in the throat. 

The strike made the assassin fall down the remaining flight of stairs and collapse onto the landing below. “Nice reflexes…” Bullseye groaned with a dry, pained, laugh.

Ghost slowly walked beside Taskmaster while pulling the pin out of her arm. “What would be the best way to kill her? I’m thinking decapitation.”

"She's defeated. Secure her, we're taking her with us." Taskmaster didn’t see much point in killing if it wasn’t necessary. But, more importantly, she wanted to know who sent Bullseye. 

“Taking her with us?” Ghost angrily asked. She didn’t take kindly to being stabbed (twice). “You’re welcome to try, but there is no chance I leave this place with her alive.”

Being secured in zipties, Bullseye looked at her captor. “So what should I expect? Some light torture until I tell you who sent me?” Her tone was flat, emotionless.

"Something like that." Taskmaster said, leading her by the shoulders back upstairs. All the while, Ghost continued to glare at Taskmaster, making her displeasure with her decision explicit.

—————————————————————

Covered in blood and sweat, Yelena tossed aside a Sable repulsor. Most of the auctioneers were dead or gravely wounded around her. Most of the items were destroyed and the slaves freed. This was her limit to superheroing for the next decade and should have been more than enough to tell Kate Bishop about if the archer happened to hear about some of the…less heroic…things Yelena had done recently. 

Taskmaster’s voice crackled over Yelena's radio. "There's been a complication. We were attacked, and unable to apprehend the target."

“They took Laura.” As if looking for a place to vent her frustration, Yelena noticed one of the buyers groaning as they tried to get back up. Something she put an end to by hitting them over the head with her stun baton. They’d come so close to having this whole stupid mission over with…

Taskmaster paused, digesting how badly the plan had gone wrong. "Perhaps Thunderstorm can still track her?"

Each of the Thunderbolts received a mild shock through their implants as Thunderstorm joined on the radio. "You idiots have bigger problems than a missing mutie right now." She patched them through a local commercial radio station.

Somewhere in Madripoor, in a broadcasting station, a hand with ebony skin and long blood red fingernails decorated with diamonds pushed a 'transmit' button. Her ruby red lips grazed the microphone and her rich, lyrical, accented voice spoke: “...All right now for all you boppers out there, all you street people with an ear for the action. Tonight is your chance to make some music. I've been asked to relay a special request from a secret admirer. It seems there's a thorn in our little slice of paradise. Six tourists are making a beeline for a certain someone. We're putting the callout to deliver your hardest beats to these sight-seers. If you want the full prize you must finish before sunrise. This hit goes out to you, Ms. Ardor. And remember, there is nowhere to run…”

"Why are we listening to a local DJ?" Taskmaster asked, completely missing the meaning. 

A sentiment shared by both Yelena and Songbird, the latter asking: “Yeah but how is a song request our problem?”

Rubbing her sore head, Titania looked incredulous. "Are you fucking serious? That's like totally a bounty. We're the six tourists, ‘hardest beats’ means killing us, and that message was meant for every merc in the city."

Holding Bullseye by the neck over the ledge of the rooftop since someone needed to have their eyes on her, Ghost nodded. “Yeah…I knew that.” She said in agreement despite absolutely not having caught on to the fact.

“You did not figure that out…” Yelena refused to believe that Titania of all people figured out an encoded message before her. The message seemed so obvious now.

"She did." Thunderstorm cut the bullshit. To her, It only made sense that Titania would figure it out before Yelena or Antonia; as (in her fucked up worldview) Indians were a kind of proto-Aryan and, while inferior to the ‘true Aryans’, much more intellectually evolved than the savage slav. She was disappointed in Songbird however.

“Oh…that seems so obvious now. Nice work.” Songbird complimented Titania. “So uh what are we looking at for enemy numbers? Like a dozen or two or…” 

"A lot." Even Taskmaster sounded disturbed by the new information. "We need to get Laura, get the target and get out as quickly as possible."

Bullseye looked down at the ground far below and then smirked at Ghost and her cohorts. “And how will you find her when all of Madripoor is hunting you?”

"I'm open to suggestions. And you would be wise to offer them, if you don't want to be acquainted with the pavement." Taskmaster was unaware of Bullseye’s previous fall off a rooftop when she made that threat. But the painful reminder only added an extra sting to the threat. 

Leaned over the ledge just a little more by Ghost, Bullseye remained unafraid. “Run. Hide. It won’t matter. You were dead the moment that broadcast went out. Now it’s just a matter of how long it takes for your bodies to realise that.”

“She’s wasting our time.” Ghost grumbled, ready to be rid of the annoying psychopath. 

Taskmaster sighed. "Bring her back in." She selected a phial from her belt and loaded it into a syringe. Ghost swung Bullseye away from the drop and threw her at Taskmaster’s feet. The assassin approached the dead-eyed hitwoman and injected her with it. It was a combination of paralysant/hallucinogen from her father's formulation. "Say hello to your sleep paralysis demon for me." Taskmaster said to her before turning away. "Let's go." 

“It’s a mistake leaving her alive.” Ghost warned again, still being pretty obnoxious about her disapproval.

But Bullseye was writhing around on the floor, harmless. She wouldn’t be throwing anything for a few hours now that she was rendered a murmuring mess. Just barely something about the devil was distinguishable from her pained grunts. “What’s the worst she could do? She looks pretty harmless to me.” Songbird said. 

-

“Have you found her yet?” Yelena asked Thunderstorm, strolling back and forth in an alleyway awaiting the rest of the team to meet her there. While she would never say as much out loud, she did feel bad that she promised Laura she wouldn’t be sold and yet she wasn’t able to help her. It wasn't the violation of a promise — she’d broken more of those than she could count — but she respected the mutant in a sense. They both had spent most of their lives as weapons and that only made them more ferocious. Yelena believed only the weak deserve to be claimed and Laura was anything but weak. 

Thunderstorm typed away at a computer on the quinjet, watching a holographic screen of Madripoor for Laura’s ping. "I've narrowed it down to a neighbourhood. Something's interfering with the signal."

“How long will it take you?” Yelena asked impatiently. 

"How long is a piece of string?" Thunderstorm dismissively fired back. 

Due to a language barrier, Yelena couldn’t help but ask a simple: “What? Why should I know how long a piece of string is?” Sometimes the nature of rhetorical questions in English went over her head. 

Thunderstorm immediately turned off her mic and muttered: "Fucking slavic mutts..." 

There was an ever-so brief silence before Ghost’s annoyed voice could be heard down the alleyway. “So let me get this right; the whole city is after us, we lost the target, and Laura’s gone. This team really seems great. Is there anything that hasn’t gone wrong?” She wasn’t speaking to any one member in particular, she just needed to express her grievances with her situation. 

"If you have any constructive suggestions, kindly present them. Otherwise, shut up." Taskmaster replied to Ghost as they reconvened with Yelena among graffitied walls and trash bins. 

Despite Ghost’s response being rolling her eyes and crossing her arms like a moody teenager, Songbird couldn’t help but see her point. “It’s not the worst question though. What do we do now?” It was the same question but in a much nicer manner.

“First we need to move. Staying in one place is not a good idea.” Yelena said…only for her point to be proven instantly. 

"You don't say." Came a woman’s voice from a window in the floor above, along with the sound of an assault rifle being loaded.

Uttering a curse in Russian, Yelena quickly drew her gun and opened fire at them to provide cover for the others to flee. It was going to be a really long night. The woman who spoke ran to the adjacent window, and fired a burst down into the alleyway, not aiming for anyone in particular, just trying to scatter the targets.

Songbird hummed a short tune and a forcefield of pure energy shielded her team. The bullets didn’t penetrate it…yet. But from the other side of the alleyway they could hear the revving of an engine, and the activation of headlights revealed the presence of an armoured SUV. It began speeding towards them.

Ghost tilted her head at the vehicle approaching, staring ominously despite being first on its path of destruction. Behind her, Yelena had begun trying to shoot the driver but she couldn't through the reinforced glass. Just as the vehicle should have rammed into her, Ghost emerged into the passenger seat, took the driver’s gun, and then slammed the driver’s face into the dashboard. She needed to get ahold of the wheel so she phased behind their seat and pulled them back with all her force, forcing them through the back of said seat and into the back of the van. She briefly turned to realise she’d pulled the woman out of her clothes, rendering the hardened assassin naked, before she climbed into the driver’s seat and assumed control of the vehicle. 

Ghost hadn’t managed to kill the driver though — which Ghost quickly became aware of when she wrapped her arm around her throat and she was forced to lose control of the van when she phased free. 

Everyone standing in the alleyway certainly would have been run over if Titania didn’t get down low as the SUV swerved, grabbing it from low down and letting the momentum carry it over her. In a moment, she was holding the van aloft with both hands, in a pose that would have made an absolutely killer photo if she weren't in the fucking wine-mom shirt.

The sudden stop forced Ghost to roll atop the naked assassin. Her mask retracted and she smirked down at her given their…interesting…positioning. It was a cocky decision she’d regret when one of the naked woman's compatriots put a gun to Ghost’s head and squeezed the trigger…

It fired right through Ghost’s head. Her brain could have been reduced to mush splattered across the inside of the vehicle…but the bullet went through her and hit the dashboard instead. Vengeful about the fact the assassin nearly killed her, Ghost grabbed the gun, hit them over the face with it, and then kicked them out of the back door.

Two assassins were disgorged from the van. The rest (and Ghost) followed when Titania tipped it towards the doors and shook them all out. Neither Titania or Ghost were thanked for their rather badass teamup.

Having no qualms about killing, Yelena went to shoot them each…until she saw that they were Black Widows. They were as much victims of the Red Room as herself and Antonia. It was a realization that earned them some mercy from a normally merciless person. Similarly, Taskmaster set her sword to stun (nanites in the blade made it blunt, and an electric charge went through it designed to stun the target) and began methodically striking while they were still disorganised.

Taskmaster successfully stunned two of the six Widows present. The third one parried her sword and riposted with a gunshot that struck her armoured chest, knocking her back. Yelena flippantly fired a widow bite at the one who shot Antonia, rendering the attacker unconscious. Then her attention returned to the others. “Anastasia?” She gleefully asked the naked one, recognising her as someone she’d deprogrammed ages ago.

The naked redhead staggered to her feet and recognised her. "Yelena?" She said, with the same surprised recognition.

“How are you?” Yelena helped her to her feet.

"Oh, you know, getting by. There's not a lot of legit work available for a former Russian assassin, so it was either Madripoor merc work or OnlyFans." Anastasia stepped nimbly out of the way as a brawling Taskmaster and Pavlova fought their way between her and Yelena. "How about you?"

Yelena then narrowly dodged a widow bite meant for Ghost.  “I am good. I fought an Avenger, went to prison, and I’m dating someone now.”

"Oh, you went to prison? How'd you get out?" Anastasia asked, as Ghost phased through her to beat the shit out of Setara. Anastasia also covered her breasts and pussy with her hands, not remarking on her nudity otherwise.

“Boring top secret mission.” Yelena shrugged just as Ruth Bat-Seraph advanced on Titania and tried with all her effort to beat her senseless with a stun baton but was instead lifted in the air like a doll and forced to watch her stun baton being snapped in half. 

Anastasia moved her head out of the way of a piece of the stun baton getting thrown aside. "Oh, so I guess we have to fight now?" She sounded disappointed.

“You could just let me knock you out. It will be quick.” Yelena suggested. 

Anastasia frowned. "Uh...sorry, I have to at least try to fight you. Professional rep and all that. Can I get dressed first?"

Yelena stepped out of the way of Ghost tossing Setara at a trash bin. “Yes.” She agreed. 

"Thanks." Anastasia hurriedly put on her jumpsuit as the tide of battle turned in favour of the Thunderbolts around her. Once dressed, she faced Yelena in a fighting stance. Which was met by the spy kneeing her in the chest. Although Anastasia partially dodged and wasn’t knocked back as intended, she was knocked off balance. She aimed an elbow at Yelena’s temple but was blocked and then swept off her feet. 

The sweeping kick knocked Anastasia onto her back with a thud. Realising she was about to be knocked out, by head injury or by Widow Bite, she said: "Widow Bite, please."

Yelena nodded in agreement to her chosen method and then shot her.

With the initial team of Widows incapacitated (except for the shooter from the window, who was calling reinforcements) the Thunderbolts were left to regroup. Songbird was the only one who avoided the fight itself, busy providing cover. So it was a bit surreal for her to be the only one unscathed while everyone else looked like they just had gotten into a fistfight with a trash compactor.

Titania looked at the six unconscious Widows and grinned manically. "Actual clothes!" She immediately ripped off the wine-mom shirt and sweatpants, and began stripping the unconscious widows (to rob them). 

Taskmaster looked to Yelena. "Are we going to let her do that?"

“Did I say you could change, bitch?” Yelena approached Titania. She was still her bitch until the mission was over after all.

Titania stopped, and gave her a look that was a mix of submissive and sassy. "Well, I've ripped those clothes apart, so I either go noticeably naked, or you let me put a jumpsuit on."

The spy looked at her for a moment considering whether or not she’d fight her on it, but they didn't have the time. “Get changed in the van.” She sighed. Titania proceeded to strip Anastasia (again), Setara, and Pavlova, and brought the three jumpsuits into the van because now was obviously the time to try on clothes. 

“I’m driving!” Songbird insisted, running towards the driver’s seat before anyone could object. 

-

Thunderstorm scanned over the maps of Madripoor, still searching for the missing member. “I managed to narrow Weapon-X's position down to a city block before I lost the signal completely. Sending you the coordinates now.” Thunderstorm said to the team. 

“Ok so maybe they removed the tracker, right? Like they don’t want us to follow them.” Songbird suggested while driving past the gunfire from above and on to the road.

Taskmaster sat in the back, sharpening her sword. "Or they've gone somewhere that is concealing the signal." 

“Is looking for her a good usage of our time? We could be looking for the target.” Ghost added. 

“Sharon is probably with her. If we find Laura, we find Sharon.”

But the discussion on Laura was cut-short. "We seem to be being followed." Taskmaster pointed out, having noticed by the rear-view mirror that a certain car had followed their last three turns, in contravention of the general flow of traffic. In response, Songbird picked up the speed and changed lanes. The other car did the same.

“Ok yeah we’re definitely being followed…” Songbird said just as Taskmaster was already taking out her bow and going to the back doors of the van, intent on putting an arrow through their pursuers.

Over the radio the voice of the announcer from before spoke: “Good news, boppers. We have a sighting. Our six tourists have been spotted driving down Smuggler's Road. I think it's high time we paint them red...” And with that the next song came on; Marie Douceur, Marie Colère. The car tailing them was quickly flanked by several others.

Taskmaster loosed an arrow at the driver of the lead car, causing the vehicle to swerve and knock another car off course. Yet both continued to rapidly approach. From out of one of the windows a mercenary crawled out and shot at Taskmaster. The assassin raised her arms to cover her face then moved behind a door for cover. 

Reloading her gun, Yelena took up Antonia’s attempt at shooting the driver. She almost had the perfect shot before Songbird seemingly needlessly swerved the van and forced her to miss her kill. “Uh guys…” Songbird drew their attention. As if the current fleet of vehicles chasing them wasn’t enough, there were now armed motorbike riders coming at them.

"Well, you wanted to drive. Avoid them." Taskmaster needlessly advised.

Bullets flew through the back of the open van door and miraculously didn’t hit anyone. “Ok, do you have plan or should I just stay duck and cover?” Yelena asked the now increasingly panicked driver while trying to avoid being shot. 

“Shut up!” One of the vans rammed them from behind and Songbird nearly hit her head against the wheel. “My plan is to drive us away!”

Yelena scoffed. “That’s shit plan” The spy grabbed the wheel and spun it around. The car turned around until they were going in reverse. She kicked her door open and it came clean off when it hit a pole. Both went flying through a motorbike driver and into the other van. “You’re welcome” 

"One down, the rest to go." Taskmaster said, taking a bow shot at the rider of the nearest biker. The arrow struck them in the chest and they went tumbling off. 

“You don’t still have the explosive arrows, do you?” Yelena asked while holding on to something as they made a harsh 90 degree turn.

"I do, but I wasn't using them for that. Do you have something in mind?"

The van spun back around so they were no longer going backwards. Yelena pointed up at a bridge they were about to pass under. “Shoot that when we’re on the other side”

Taskmaster nodded, and notched an explosive arrow. She set the explosive as they passed under the bridge, and then fired once it was safe. The bridge collapsed, raining debris down on the road behind the Thunderbolts. The mercenaries giving chase that didn’t stop in time were crushed. Despite being badly beaten up, riddled with bullet holes, and down a door, the van was still functioning. But now wasn’t the time to stop because even with the fleet lost, there were still countless after the group. Case in point: the moving truck driving beside them got ahead and the back opened. Men in red tracksuits began shooting.

Hit in the shoulder, Songbird was screaming expletives as she turned the vehicle to the right in an attempt to avoid being shot any further. Her shriek shattered the windshield of the van and sent the moving truck flying across the road. 

Surrounded by attackers and assailed by gunfire, the van was forced off the road, crashing into the front of a closed shop. 

-

“What the fuck are they doing?” Ghost was first to ask, unphased by the crash since she phased her way through any part of the impact. Through the extensive damage the van had taken she could see that a small battle had broken out outside; mercenaries and gangs from all across Madripoor killing each other for who got to kill them.

But not everyone was doing as well as Ghost. Taskmaster was thrown against the back of the driver's seat, and took a moment to get to and act, Yelena and Songbird were unconscious in the front, and Titania was only dazed for a few seconds. Having been mid way through changing between Widow jumpsuits when the crash happened, she was pissed off that her fashion montage had been interrupted and now was naked as she got to her feet. 

Suddenly the back door was thrown open. A mercenary stood on the other side. They prepared to shoot the Thunderbolts…when a massive hand grabbed them by their head and lifted them high in the air. The disgusting sound of bone breaking and a sickening squish managed to stand out amidst the gunfire when the mercenary’s head was crushed into oblivion. Their killer? A giant of a man with one eye, heavily armed and holding a machete. His name was Barracuda.

“Well shit what do we have here?” His large toothy smile was disturbing. “Five women just for me!” He laughed at the disturbing implication.

Titania was the first to face the one-eyed fuckboy. "Who the fuck are you?"

“Just someone who wants the price for your pretty little head. Now be a good girl and maybe I’ll leave you in one piece…” Barracuda replied as he grabbed Titania by the leg and attempted to pull her out of the van. He was pretty surprised when the other super-strong leg kicked him in the face, intending to knock his head off.

An unnaturally strong man of 7 ft, the superhuman kick Titania delivered simply forced Barracuda to stumble back a step. “Motherfucker!” He cursed, swinging his machete down in an attempt to hit the influencer’s leg. “Alright I get you. Don’t think I don’t like a bit of struggle…” He grinned.

Taskmaster parried the swing of his machete that was aimed at Titania with her sword. "It's clearly been a long time since you last encountered women who can fight back. Allow us to introduce ourselves." She switched the sword to kill (the blade sharpened) and tried to stab him in the ribs.

The sword plunged right into Barracuda's chest. He was forced back from the van, and said something incredibly vulgar which shall remain unwritten as he attempted to rip the blade out of himself and dual wield it alongside his machete.

Ghost casually stepped out of the vehicle and dodge the hitman’s instinctive swing at her neck while pretending to yawn. “We don’t have any qualms about killing this one, do we?” She asked Taskmaster sarcastically.

Unable to resist the brute's strength, Taskmaster let go of her sword, stepping back and drawing her bow. "I would have a qualm about letting him live."

Smirking, Ghost continued to simply phase through everything Barracuda threw at her. She found it funny how angry he got at how hilariously incapable of harming her he was. She could have killed him right now but it would have been funner to let him be overwhelmed.

Furious, Titania rushed forwards. Barracuda toppled over, causing him to drop Taskmaster’s sword. In response he attempted to regain an advantage by grabbing Titania by the hair and pulling with all his considerable force. They fell over each other and collapsed in a heap. Barracuda puts up a surprising fight given his lack of superpowers. His first move being to knee Titania, then to use whatever millisecond of pain that causes to pry her hand off his throat. While Ghost moved to intervene, her attention was caught by the other mercenaries approaching and she chose to deal with them instead.

Barracuda managed to get atop Titania and raise his massive hands to her eyes in an attempt to crush her skull in. But when she managed to get an arm free from being pinned beneath his knees, a punch sent him flying back a distance. His face was obscured as he tried to get back up.

“I’m Barracuda..you motherfuckin’….” He murmured, half-senseless. “Barra-fuckin-cuda…this city’s my goddamn free zone…”  As he turned around his visage became illuminated by the flames left by the prior crash. His face was broken, jaw barely clinging on. “Get your shit back together” He gargled to himself as he strained to reach for the machine gun on his back. Just as the firearm was in his hands, his eye caught the glint of Taskmaster’s arrow leveled at him. “Fuck…”

A lesser fighter would have made some asinine quip here. Taskmaster didn’t. She shot the arrow. Barracuda had just enough time to watch as the arrow pierced him and listen to the short countdown of beeps before it exploded. Suffice to say, there wasn’t much of him left after that.

But even with Barracuda dead, mercenaries kept pouring in from every which direction. Ghost gathered their attention while Songbird and Yelena both stirred and attempted to get it running again. Against all odds, the vehicle was still functioning. The Thunderbolts hurriedly got back in and sped off amidst the sounds of seemingly unending waves of opponents after them.

—————————————————————

Still naked and chained on the bed of a dolly, with a black hood over her head, Laura hadn’t stopped thrashing and issuing muffled yells since leaving the auction house. She felt it as her captors secured her in metal cuffs to some type of medical bed. She could hear the sound of footsteps around her but couldn’t make out who they belonged to. She noticed how the place smelled clean though…too clean. The scent of cleaning chemicals that were reminiscent of a hospital…or a lab. 

Abruptly the bag was taken off her head and she was blinded by sight of the strip of fluorescent light on the ceiling. “Good morning, sunshine.” Sharon Carter greeted flatly, stepping into view and looking down at her.

"Let me go now and I won't kill you." Laura said, sounding as intimidating as she could in her current position...which wasn’t very.

Grabbing a syringe off an unseen tray, Sharon brought it to her neck but didn't yet inject her. “Why would I let something like you go? It’s not everyday that one of Oscorp’s corporate superheroes falls into my lap.” Technically Laura was made by a subsidiary of Oscorp called Alkali-Transigen but same difference.

Laura struggled viciously against her chains, to no avail. Looking nervously at the syringe, she asked: “What are you going to do to me?"

“Analyze you, extract your DNA, look for the compound used to create you, hopefully replicate it, then turn you into the living weapon you were sold as” Sharon pressed the tip of the needle into her skin and took a blood sample.

"Then you're wasting your time." Laura pulled away from the needle. "No compound made me. I'm a mutant."

Sharon paused the drawing of Laura’s blood. “What was Oscorp doing keeping you in a lab?” She had her suspicions that Oscorp was using mutant DNA in their version of the super-soldier serum. 

"How do you know about that?" Laura asked, but Sharon noticeably didn’t respond. "They were testing my healing factor, and coating my claws with adamantium to give me these." She popped her claws. But it didn’t deter Sharon when she couldn’t be slashed at. She ignored them in fact and finished taking the sample — just because it could prove helpful eventually — while beginning to reconsider things. 

“Whether or not you can help me with my little lab experiment, you’re still useful to me as a mindless weapon.”

Genuine fear flashed in Laura’s eyes for the first time at that. "You won't succeed. I won't be made mindless."

“You’d be surprised what my scientists can do.” Sharon’s hand touched her throat and then slowly began to descend down her body.

Laura squirmed and tried desperately to pull away. Her chains left the effort unsuccessful. "What are you doing?"

“What do you think?” Sharon cupped her right breast, kneading it with an aggressive lust. Her breath hitched just slightly at the feeling of total power she had over the mutant. The ability to do whatever she wanted to her. “I spent 40 mil on you. I think I’ve earned the right to make every dollar count, don’t you?”

She smirked down at the helpless victim, mesmerised by the way she yearned to break free. Laura continued thrashing in a vain effort to break her chains, unintentionally writhing is quite an erotic way. “I should be mad right now but it’s funny how much I’m not. I never expected owning someone to be such a turn on…” Sharon said while pinching one of Laura’s nipples between two fingers.

Laura squealed at the pinch of her nipple. Her healing factor dulled the pain of serious injuries. Little pains like this though hurt like hell…

“I want you to tell me who sent you; Oscorp, the US Government, or both?” Sharon twisted her nipple. 

Laura bit down and cursed. "The government! SWORD! I'm a prisoner in the Raft, we all are. We were let out for this mission." She had no reason to protect SWORDs secrets.

A brief flash of panic showed in Sharon’s eyes before she suppressed it. She muttered something indiscernible under her breath. “How many of you are there?” Bullseye had told her about the four on the rooftop (before concerningly never calling back to confirm the kill) and she already knew about ‘Dani Ardor’, but for all she knew there could have been more if SWORD was involved.

Laura paused. "What's that information worth to you?"

“Answer the question before I have to force it out of you.” Sharon twisted as much as she could. 

Laura grit her teeth and screamed, but didn't answer. "I'm not going to tell you without making it worth my while! You know that SWORD is after you. You have to bargain."

She was right. Sharon knew she was right. But backed into a corner she was even more stubborn. She didn’t care to bargain so she just would have to break the mutant into submission. So she stepped back and suddenly Laura’s legs were propped up and spread for her ease. “Last chance: tell me what I want to know.”

Laura craned her head up, looking to see what was being prepared, why her legs were being spread. In response, Sharon held up a speculum for her to see. The sight of it made Laura’s ass tighten involuntarily, but she didn't say anything. The secret of their numbers and composition was all she had to bargain with.

Sharon inserted the tool, propping her pussy wide open. What to do with her was difficult to decide when there were just so many options. But she felt like getting her hands dirty (metaphorically speaking that is). She put on a pair of latex gloves. The snap of them giving Laura some rather nasty flashbacks to strip searches. Sharon was surprisingly gentle as she pushed her gloved hand up her womanhood. Was it violating? 100% yes. But there was a certain dissonance to the way her finger barely touched between Laura’s walls and the fact that Laura was being held against her will by the ruler of a criminal underworld.

Laura stopped thrashing, not wanting to get hurt by moving around as her captor pushed in. She let Sharon touch her pussy with nervous anticipation. 

“I’m gonna go ahead and guess you’ve been touched by another woman before, right? I mean why am I even asking that? You were in prison. Of course you have.” Sharon casually remarked as the tip of her finger stroked against the mutant’s clit, forcing a gasp of pleasure out of Laura.

Sharon’s other hand grabbed her leg while she probed her in annoyingly slow circular motions. Just enough to make her involuntarily excited but nothing which got her going. “I bet you were real popular in prison in fact. I bet they passed you around for cigarettes or fishsticks or whatever the fuck the currency there is. Is that why you joined this mission, because you couldn’t stand being some girl’s bitch any longer?”

"I'm nobody's bitch." Laura replied, her aggressive growl undercut by her clear arousal.

Sharon’s pace gradually quickened. “Are you sure about that? Because it looks to me like you’re my bitch. Granted you won’t have to worry about dropping the soap, but you get my point.” Her knowledge of prison came entirely from cliches.

Laura breathed heavily, and didn't answer that either. She hated how much she wanted Sharon to go further when all motion suddenly stopped. “Y’know, it’s not really a conversation if I’m the only one talking…” Sharon teased. 

The mutant grit her teeth and grunted like a wild animal. "The fuck do you want me to say?! That I'm your bitch?!"

“Exactly that!” Sharon smiled, acting like she just witnessed her having some profound realisation.

Laura rolled her eyes. "Fine; In a very non-literal way, because you aren't actually in prison and I'm the mommy of my cell..." That wasn’t true but it helped her case to pretend it. "...I'm your bitch."

Sharon didn’t know what the whole ‘mommy of her cell’ thing even meant, but Laura said what she wanted her to say and it was only fair to keep pleasuring her in return. Inserting another finger, there was a drastic shift in the effort the criminal was putting in. The way her digits danced inside Laura’s increasingly wet pussy, swirling to some rhythmic pace, was precise. Methodical.

Laura moaned, and quickly found herself approaching orgasm. It was the moment that she was just on the verge that Sharon stopped and looked down at her with a faux pout. Laura screamed, straining against the chains. "Finish it!" She aggressively begged. 

“I will…if you tell me how many of your people are after me.”

Although Laura really, really wanted to cum...it wasn't worth giving up the only leverage that she had. 

“Your loyalty is admirable…even if incredibly stupid. Do you think that not letting you cum is the worst I can do to you?” Sharon turned around and began typing something on a rather advanced looking control panel. The bed shifted and mechanical arms connected to Laura’s bindings moved her into an upright X pose.

Sharon reached around behind her and, looking down, Laura got a glimpse of what her captor had. It was a long, grey and gold object that looked suspiciously like a vibrator despite the futuristic coating. Sharon didn’t hesitate to begin pushing it up her, to which Laura groaned and tried to push it out. She didn't expect to succeed but she felt she had to try. Predictably, she didn't succeed. In fact it felt weirdly attached, like it was locked in somehow. "What, more edging?” Laura asked. “You know that won't break me."

“That depends, does this turn you on?” Sharon asked in return and then a purple circle was emitted from the device, creating a strange whirring sound. The noise grew louder and then a shock unlike any other was dealt directly to Laura’s vagina. “It’s crazy how versatile Chitauri technology is.”

Laura cried out, squirming. "FUCK!" She swore. The pain didn’t just linger, it seemingly just kept getting worse long after the initial shot. Something that already felt like it was burning her inner walls still found new heights of excruciation. The exact process of what it did was indescribable — both due to the pain and the fact that the writer can’t come up with a good explanation. She closed her eyes, breathed heavily, and screamed, more pathetically than which fit her badass demeanour. She felt like she was being eaten from the inside out.

“I haven’t actually tested this before so you’re lucky there’s not a gaping hole where your crotch should be.” Sharon said, hardly helping matters. 

Suddenly Laura felt the tip of what was likely a similar device touching the pucker of her butt. She pulled away as far as she physically could, but her chains made that very limited. Powerless to resist, the device went up her rear. The same process as the front happened and then pain filled her body on both ends. She screamed and screamed, all attempts to maintain dignity disappearing in the face of agony. It was relentless. And worst of all for her was the inability to do anything against Sharon. And her captor was not even close to being done. With the press of a button the devices began to emit a pulsating energy. A vibrational hum that bent the air around them into a frenzied state.

"Fuck...FUCK!" Laura cried out. "LET ME GO! I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING, JUST LET ME FUCKING GO!"

The torture halted. The pain was gone in an instant. Sharon acted like she was considering it….but was actually thinking about something very different. Seeing her like this had her excited. Excited enough that she simply couldn’t contain herself. And why should she? 

Standing directly in front of her, Sharon sighed softly and began to lower her pants. Her right hand softly rubbed against the front of her underwear, not yet venturing beneath.

Laura laid back on the table and breathed heavily. As she opened her eyes she saw Sharon masturbating, but didn’t comment on it, hoping she kept going longer and didn’t start torturing her again. 

“Brokering stability in a place as lawless as Madripoor is really hard work these days. Taking the edge off does wonders for the mind…” Sharon commented as she explored herself.  Her wetness seeped through the thin white fabric of her underwear. But just because she was enjoying her own touch didn’t mean this was a break from Laura’s torture. In fact, the two went together quite nicely. Turning the Chitauri vibrators back on, Sharon moaned. 

Laura threw back her head and screamed from pain and stimulation. Mostly pain. 

“This could all be over if you’d just talk…” Sharon taunted between gasps of her own. 

Laura gnashed her teeth. "I have no loyalty to SWORD! Let me go and I'll tell you everything!"

“I’ve already said that I’m not wasting what I spent on you”

"THEN I'M NOT TELLING YOU SHIT!" Laura screamed.

Sharon’s fingers stroked up her pussy, forcing her to unknowingly make a lewd expression. Somehow the sound of her wetness against her digits stood out amidst Laura’s agonising screams. Growing more enthusiastic, Sharon dropped her underwear down to her knees and took steps closer to Laura until her pussy was almost literally in her face. “You have no idea how much I want to make you eat me out right now…”

"Try it, and you'll find it's a great way to get your clit bitten off." Laura managed to threaten despite her current turmoil. 

“Figured you’d say that. It’s your loss.” Sharon said as she indulged in making herself a sopping mess down below. Soon enough she was nearing the climax which Laura was denied. To her own shame, Laura found herself writhing and thrusting against the vibrators in response, desperate in her futile desire to get herself off.

Sharon considered continuing to taunt her, but at a point she was far too invested in herself and knowing she could have what her prisoner couldn’t. Then she came, spilling her climax onto Laura’s face, wave after wave of squirt coating her lips and spurting across her chin. Just like everything else she’d done, it was violating. Humiliating. And, most of all, tempting. “Lick my juices off your lips and I’ll shut the devices off.”

Tears starting to fall from her eyes, Laura swallowed her dignity...and then licked her lips clean. Sharon smiled down at her and then moved her crotch out of her face while still coming down from her high. Keeping her word, she shut the torture devices off. No more pain. No more vibrations. Laura was allowed to breathe. “What should we do next-“ Sharon began when the sound of her phone buzzing in the pocket of her dropped jeans called her attention. “Actually one second, sorry. Let me get that.”

She picked up the phone and, pacing while still naked from the waist down, she answered the call. “What the fuck do you mean they got away? Send Barracuda or- He’s dead?!”

Breathing heavily, Laura overheard the phonecall and smirked. "You can...still let me go…I'll tell you what I know...could save you some trouble..." She said through gasps. 

But Sharon ignored what Laura had to say while struggling to get herself dressed. “I’m leaving the lab. Secure the fort.” She grabbed a needle from a drawer and went to inject Laura with it. 

Injected, Laura’s eyelids felt heavier and heavier until she couldn’t keep them open despite how hard she tried. She slipped into dreamless sleep. 

-

When Laura came to, she could feel that she was now underwater…

The first thing she did was try to move her arms and legs. She couldn’t do much but it was still more than she could in her previous environment. The next thing she noticed was the pain. Needles had been injected into her skin, hooking her up to various machines. Laura was in a tank of some sort, submerged. Strapped down to the bottom. There was a mask on her face providing her with oxygen. Around her scientists were discussing their observations of…whatever…it was that they were doing to her.

They were part of AIM, a group of rogue scientists exploiting Madripoor’s non-existent laws to do vile illegal experiments. Sharon had hired them and then provided them with a lab in hopes that they could recreate the super-soldier serum like Wilfred Nagal had previously done before the Flag Smashers stole his only vials. 

“The specimen is remarkable.”  One of them said to another, proceeding to run down what they’d managed to assess about her body. “…We could sculpt her into the ultimate weapon. The perfect killer. But not in her current state.” The next part of the conversation was muffled but Laura heard them conclude: “Wipe her memories…”

Her eyes widened. Her life flashed before her eyes. She thought about everything she’d been through, all her efforts to claim her own identity, to be more than a weapon...and she was taken by a white hot rage. Her claws extended. She pulled against the bonds. Tugged at by the infuriated mutant, they ripped like they were made of paper. She ripped the mask off her face, and rose from the water, roaring in fury.

The scientists panicked, horrified. “Detain her now!” One of them shrieked and Laura was then met with bullets from armed guards standing on the balcony above. Her collar had been removed so she could be tested…which meant her healing factor was now back…

The bullet wounds healed almost as soon as they appeared. Laura leaped down from the tank and sunk her claws into the first scientist who fell into her clutches. They screamed and they pleaded but it didn’t matter because it was drowned out by the sound of gunfire. Those who weren’t running for the exit dropped to their knees.

She gutted the one she could catch (and she could catch all of them). She then started sprinting, covered in blood and water, through the lab, looking for an exit while disemboweling anybody who tries to stop her.

Alarms blared throughout the lab, casting an ominous red lighting all throughout the facility. Though a good many tried to stop Laura, they didn't manage to slow her much. When all else failed, a voice over the system announced a count to lockdown in an effort to contain the experiment. 

As she heard the lockdown ordered, she grabbed a fleeing scientist and pinned him to the wall. She pressed her blood-covered face right up to his, baring her teeth and growling two words: "Exit. Where?"

“Down that hall…take a right and go up the stairs….” He nervously answered, shakily raising his finger to point in the direction. Laura recognized his voice as the man who’d ordered the wiping of her memories. 

Laura let go of him…then sunk her claws into his skull before running in the direction indicated. Already the blast doors were beginning to seal when Laura ascended the stairs and entered the final hall. She very narrowly manages to get past in time. Now all that was left was a simple door. 

She pushed it open and staggered out into the warm air of the Madripoor night. Only as she emerged onto the street did her nudity and her wetness with water and blood hit her like a ton of bricks.

—————————————————————

Elsewhere in Madripoor, Songbird was bickering with Ghost while still trying to escape the absolute anarchy that was pursuing the Thunderbolts. No matter where they drove or how many they killed, the people looking to kill them were practically infinite.

Melissa made one wrong turn into a group of pursuers she narrowly avoided and suddenly she was the worst according to Ghost. “Look, I'm not really a trained get-away driver! Get off my back and let me drive, dude.” She stated defensively while ramming through a series of garbage bins.

“This is what we get for letting a fucking Nazi drive” Ghost groaned while phasing through the bullets being fired at the tattered back of the van. She was getting sick from Songbird’s absolutely nauseating driving.

A repulser shot shattered the only remaining rear-view mirror while Songbird fumbled to give Yelena another clip. “I already said I’m not a Nazi!”

“That’s exactly what a Nazi would say.” Ghost narrowed her eyes at her. Though Songbird couldn’t see the glare, she could practically feel her eyes boring through the back of her skull. 

Thunderstorm addressed the team over the radio. "I just got a lock on X-23's position. Sending you the coordinates now."

The Thunderbolts sped towards the destination, doing what little they could to lose their pursuers. Pulling up in front of Laura, the hilariously ramshackled vehicle arrived and Yelena called for Laura to get in. She did so without hesitation. "Tell me you have clothes." Was the first thing Laura said, dazed.

Taskmaster tossed Laura her backpack and the mutant then proceeded to eagerly start getting dressed, not caring about getting blood-stains on her clothes. The Raft owed her a full laundry at the absolute minimum after what she’d been through on this nightmare of a mission. Titania, meanwhile, was trying on the second Widow jumpsuit and finding it didn’t fit. She stripped again with a yell of frustration.

There was a pause before Yelena asked Laura: “Are you ok?” Her tone was less casual than usual. Dare one might even say…empathetic.

"No." Laura said, her voice heavy as she directed a thousand-yard-stare out of one of the bullet holes in the side of the van. 

Another beat. Yelena tried to ignore what she was feeling but couldn't. It was guilt and it weighed far heavier on her chest than it seemed like it should have. “I am sorry.” It was hardly a grand apology, and a little quiet, but it was genuine.

Laura took a couple of deep breaths, and replied with a simple "whatever". She wasn’t ready to forgive yet. She wasn’t even done processing what she’d been through. Of the violation she’d been the victim of. 

Although Yelena was tempted to ask why Laura didn’t accept the apology and then guilt her over not treating it like she thought it deserved, she had just enough sense to say nothing. Largely because other things were on her mind. “Do you know where Sharon is?”

Laura rested her forehead on her hands. "She left in a hurry mid way through torturing me."

“She didn’t happen to say where she was going, did she?” Ghost asked, ignoring the bit about Laura being tortured. If she felt bad for every girl she’d met that had been tortured at some point she’d have basically been constantly sad. 

Having been put through what was probably some of the most excruciating moments of her life, Laura was a bit fuzzy on the exact details of what happened an hour ago in the belly of the lab. She mostly just remembered the pain…but bits and pieces of her conversation with Sharon stood out, especially the part when she got a call. "She talked to someone on her phone. Mentioned a fort..."

Yelena thought about it and then contacted Thunderstorm. “Is there a fort in Madripoor?”

Thunderstorm responded immediately while giving them the coordinates: "Yes, on the northern peninsula of Lowtown, established by the British Empire and then the Japanese during the war, later taken by the Americans and now in hands unknown. Well, I guess we know now.” 

Ten minutes into the directions of the location, Songbird noticed something odd. They were no longer being chased. “Hey, I think I finally lost them!” Just as Melissa said that, a black cloud of otherworldly, tenebrous darkness appeared as if from nowhere in front of the van. She smiled awkwardly at Yelena, who was giving her a ‘you were saying’ look. “Guess I spoke too soon…”

Then a figure rushed out of an alleyway, and bowed into the van with all of their superhuman strength, knocking it over.

“This again? Really?” Yelena groaned, turning at the end that was impacted to see a massive dent in the already beaten metal. The van was now toppled sideways.

Titania was no less enthused, yelling: "fucks sake” as she was thrown aside, mid way through changing. Beside her, Taskmaster landed on Ghost with a winding thud, Ava having managed to end up under her after phasing wrong and simply beating her to who got to feel the impact first. Taskmaster recovered quickly and rolled off her while Laura went for the door, and rushed out of the van, popping her claws.

As soon as she stepped out of the van, Laura was struck with a venom bolt, intended to incapacitate her. It would have worked if it had struck anybody who lacked a healing factor (the previous dosages in Sharon’s lab only having been efficient due to the fact that Laura was subdued with a collar).

Yelena flipped around her seat and headed for the back as well, and Songbird shouted her door off its hinges and crawled upwards. “Get off your ass” The spy chided the largely useless Titania. 

"Fuck you!" Titania spat, and then resumed trying to get dressed despite the fact that they were currently under attack. 

Yelena simply had to ignore her and keep moving, spinning to look for where the attackers were in the thick cloud of darkness. “How many of them are there?” She called out to Laura. 

The mercenaries now after them were threefold, going under the name B.A.D. Girls Inc. Their leader was Diamondback, enhanced with superhuman strength. Then there was Black Mamba, a very low-level telepath with the ability to create clouds of darkness. Last but not least, Asp, who was capable of poisoning her enemies. Together they made a deadly trio. 

Laura didn’t answer Yelena, taken by bloodlust. She leaped at Asp, intending to drive her claws through her face only to be side-tackled mid-air by Diamondback, driving her to the ground. Who then proceeded to get on top of her and begin punching the mutant’s head repeatedly into the pavement. Diamondback only stopped when Yelena twirled the stun-baton in her grasp and whacked her over the head with it.

"Ow." Was all that constituted Diamondback’s response (in what was a far milder reaction than Yelena was hoping for) before the super-strong mercenary turned to attempting to shatter every bone in the spy’s body. 

“I’m really starting to get tired of this.” Ghost grumbled, phasing through the van and intent on doing what Yelena couldn’t. What she didn’t see until it was too late though was Black Mamba beside her. 

Not until their eyes met, Mamba an inch from her face. The dark-haired criminal grinned. "Trusssssst in me." She said, flickering her forked tongue as she put Ghost under hypnotic suggestion. Seeing Taskmaster attempting to aid Yelena, Mamba pointed at Antonia and said to Ghost: "Deal with that one." 

Taskmaster heard her approach and turned around. Call it an old killer's instinct, call it a lucky guess, but she didn't like the look Ghost was approaching her with. She dodged out of the way since Ghost was now clearly possessed. It seemed to Taskmaster that it was really becoming a matter of what weird superpower wouldn’t they encounter tonight?

Ghost disappeared and then reappeared behind Taskmaster just in time to be hit across the face with the woman’s shield. She fell to the ground and then reemerged again with her arm around Antonia’s throat. 

Antonia elbowed her teammate as hard as she could in the boob, which sent Ghost stumbling back. Taking advantage of the distance, Taskmaster raised the tip of her blade to Ava’s throat in an effort to make her stop. Unfortunately she simply phased right through the sword and disappeared once more. 

Seeing Yelena currently about to be thrown into a brick wall by Diamondback, Songbird screamed and 

Diamondback was knocked off her feet. Yelena and her fell to the ground in a tangle, Yelena losing her gun in the struggle.

Diamondback put her hand around the ground-facing Yelena’s neck and intended to smash her face into oblivion against the pavement. Desperate, Yelena struggled and reached her right arm out trying to grab her gun. It was just out of her grasp. Two of her fingers touched the grip and she attempted to slide it closer…only to be thwarted as Ghost picked it up. 

Yelena knew that her life was always likely to come to an end in some brutal fashion – not many people who lived a life like she had got happy endings. But she’d always hoped that maybe things could be different for her. Meeting Kate felt like an epilogue to her life…but, in this millisecond of purgatory between getting her brain smashed into the street or a bullet put into her head, she accepted her fate and only hoped that the mission would be a success so that the woman she loved could be free. She found it ironic that it was the barrel of her own gun that she was now staring down. 

Unable to fight back, she quietly resigned herself to this death. That didn’t mean she wasn’t still struggling against Diamondback, but she wasn’t going to plead for her life. If this was her end, so be it. 

Ghost leveled the gun to Yelena’s head and her finger pressed against the trigger. 

Yelena instinctively shut her eyes. 

A gunshot rang out. Then a scream. 

…And Yelena was still alive. That was a surprise. She opened her eyes and could see Antonia struggling with Ghost for the gun. The scream belonged to Songbird, who was forcing Diamondback to let go of Yelena’s neck because she had to cover her ears from the horrendous screech. 

Ghost grunted as she fought Taskmaster, finding herself in a losing battle against someone who knew her every move. Gun still in her grasp, she now attempted to fire it into Antonia’s skull but the gun clattered to the wet ground when Taskmaster pushed Ghost’s arm and delivered an elbow hard to Ava’s face while she was still corporeal. The hypnotised Thunderbolt collapsed against the ruined van and, as she tried to get back up, a kick to the head from Taskmaster put her back down.

“Are you ok?” Antonia and Yelena asked each other as they redirected their attention to the rest of the fight. 

Yelena got back on her feet and advanced on the fallen Diamondback in an effort to beat her. The foe was only mildly annoyed by Yelena's attempt to hurt her, and tried to throw her off.

“That the best you got?” Diamondback mocked…just before Yelena hit her in the crotch with a widow bite. She then convulsed from the electric shock. It wouldn't keep her down long, but for now it was enough. 

Asp was currently frantically trying to back away from Laura, hands raised in surrender. No bounty was worth being clawed open. “I surrender!” She pathetically screamed. Luckily for her, Laura was calming down from her bloodlust just enough to no longer want to kill her. Instead she was just going to beat the shit out of her until she wished she was dead. 

Yelena looked down at the writhing Diamondback, satisfied. Then she turned around and found herself facing Black Mamba. They made eye contact and she began to subdue her. "Trussssst in me..." She gestured to the scene a few meters away, where Laura was repeatedly kicking a very much incapacitated Asp. "Render that one unco-"

Black Mamba was abruptly sucker punched hard enough in the side of the head to make her go down like a ragdoll. Her attacker? Titania, fashionably late and now dressed in a Widow jumpsuit. 

Yelena looked at Titania without any gratitude for her having just helped. The influencer could have saved her from a burning building and the spy still would have thought she was useless. “Took you long enough”

Titania gave her a death stare. "Then you don't want my help with her?" She pointed to Diamondback, who was getting back up. 

“Just get her.” Yelena said dismissively, walking away to let the two super-strong people deal with each other.

Titania and Diamondback fought in a very exciting, cinematic way that neither woman's teammates cared to watch. In the end, Titania manages to knock Diamondback to the floor, and then leaped on top of her in a bodyslam that knocked her out cold. The badly-beaten trio of mercenaries were about to be executed by the more violent members of the Thunderbolts, but the arrival of an armoured vehicle with a machine gun mounted on top left them little time to get off the road before a barrage of bullets were flying at them. 

“Гавно!” Yelena shouted, throwing herself behind the cover of their destroyed van. If anyone stepped a foot forward they would be torn open. She turned her head to see if the rest of the team had found cover too. “Is everyone still alive?” She asked, half-jokingly. 

“If getting shot at for the fiftieth time tonight is fine, yeah totally!” Titania replied sarcastically. She and Songbird were safe in the nearest alleyway. 

Next to respond was Antonia, who’d used her shield to buy herself and Laura enough time to get behind a rolling trash bin. “We’re fine here. Where is Ghost?”

Where was Ghost?

Yelena’s eyes glanced around the street for the unsubtle white (and now splashed red) costume Ava wore, but she couldn’t find a trace of her. Had she vanished…or was she dead?

“I’m right here” Ava suddenly said, appearing right beside Yelena. “You were about to say I’m dead, weren’t you?”

—————————————————————

Sharon Carter stood over a balcony within the old fortress watching as the best defenses money could possibly buy readied themselves for not just a hit squad, but an outright siege. This was it. This was her last stand. From her position she could see the entire Madripoor skyline…and the explosions of the incoming Thunderbolts as they fought their way towards her location. 

But try as the team might, she was certain they wouldn’t breach her fortress. Not when Sable International patrolled the battlements and rolled tanks in, acting as her own personal militia. As if that wasn't enough, just beyond the walls, every individual with a weapon and a desire for an absurd sum of money had gathered (thanks to an announcement on where the Thunderbolts would be headed). Offering one last insensitive to die fighting for her protection, Sharon turned to one of her henchmen and said: “Raise the hit to 7 million per head.”

As Sharon went inside to the safety of the fort, the Thunderbolts emerged from the streets of Madripoor, looking weary from battle. It took a single glimpse of the fortress and it was more than enough to prove disheartening. With the sheer number of people surrounding the structure and the lights that accompanied their presence, it looked like a city within itself. The odds were not in favor of the six of them vs. the hundreds that stood between them and Sharon. 

“How the fuck are we supposed to make it past that?” Ghost asked, exasperated. 

Titania looked on at the fortified edifice, and was not eager to be the first to die charging it. "Anyone wanna volunteer?"

There was no possible way of sneaking past the defenses, no act of subterfuge that could guarantee victory. Whatever they did would have to be just as brazen as the last stand Sharon had planned. Against all odds, Yelena believed that they could win this. 

“Stop sounding so defeated. Thunderbolts, this is it. Yes, Sharon has army that looks like they will immediately kill us, but if we look out for each other we will…probably…win. We get through this and we go home. Until we can get inside, our priority is thinning their number. Ghost, I want you on side, eyes on everything. Pick out the strays. Titania, smash anything you can. Confuse then turn their gunfire on each other. Laura, get their attention. Songbird, support us from above. Antonia, you and me will cover gate. If we cut through the mercenaries first, stick together, then breach, we are going to win. Or we will have a very cool death.”

“Inspiring speech, but assuming we aren’t killed immediately by everyone in Madripoor, as soon as we get near the walls those will obliterate us…” Ghost gestured to the advanced repulser artillery mounted above. 

Songbird stepped forward, confident. “Leave those to me.”

"Are you sure?" Taskmaster asked, dubious of her capability to handle the whole fort on her own.

“Bunch of heavily armed dudes with lasers and shit? Yeah I’ve got this.” With no innocent bystanders anywhere near the fort, Songbird felt the tides of her true, raw power swell within her. 

She looked on at the defences ahead and then – as if the primordial melodies of angels could be heard from the heavens – there came from her the sweetest of ethereal songs unlike any heard before. Every note seemed to resonate in the air, reverberating an unspeakable euphony. Around her the beginning flickers of tiny pink lights, like fireflies, formed and then danced until they took shape into a kaleidoscope of butterflies which fluttered in marvelous dance. Luminous avian wings then unfurled from her back. 

Seeing the beacon that was Songbird taking to the skies, the hired army looked up at the army of butterflies that were led by Songbird like a valkyrie into battle. She let out a battle cry and around her, the butterflies became a volley that descended upon her foes like a meteor shower, exploding into brilliant blasts of pure light on impact. It was the opening the other Thunderbolts needed to advance.

Using the chaos that had erupted from practically everyone trying to shoot the neon-pink target in the sky (that’s not metaphorical, Songbird had literally created a massive target) Yelena led the charge and went low, slashing at a distracted mercenary’s tendon with a knife and then casually shoving them into the gunfire of the others. 

Taskmaster fought beside her, decapitating a foe and then throwing her shield like Captain America across the battlefield, letting it hit a dozen people (disarming a few along the way) and then summoning it back in time to deflect the repulsor-shot of a cybernetic woman with energy cannons for hands. 

Noting Taskmaster’s position, Yelena shot her shield so that the bullet ricocheted and went through the attacker’s forehead and their body slumped over only to be run over by Laura as she roared, extending her claws and charging at the line of defense. Gunfire was turned on her but the dozens of bullets that ripped through her flesh did absolutely nothing to stop the Wolverine’s path of pure fury. Her claws sank into the face of the first merc she saw and then ripped their way out, leaving a spray of blood on their short journey to cutting through another’s neck. 

A shot was fired from behind that tore a gaping hole into Laura’s back, deep enough that it went straight through her body. But it healed just as fast as the normally-fatal injury was made and she took out her pain from the wound on equal measure to the one who’d dealt it. Then the next. Then the next. Until there was a gory line of carnage composed of severed limbs. Her fury was primal, berserker-like. She saw nothing but red. It didn’t stop until a mercenary threw a grenade into the fray, careless of who it killed as long as it took down the beast. 

Laura was thrown back by the blast but that only gave Ghost an opening to fulfill her sadistic potential, phasing through the force and quite literally ripping people apart from the inside by pulling out vital organs. But nothing she did compared to Titania taking an armoured vehicle and flipping it in the air, its fall crushing a dozen people, and then charging a group of mercs so that they fell to the ground like bowling pins.

The influencer then stopped to watch Songbird swoop overhead while evading the fort’s artillery with a dance-like fluidity. Below her; Ghost phased through gunfire until she was using someone as a human shield and behind her Yelena swung her electrified baton in a circle so it hit three people in the jaw.

Titania really wished her stolen phone hadn't been crushed so she could film the light show.

“Are you just going to stand there looking like a bloody idiot?” Ghost asked, popping up beside Titania and putting her fingers into the skull of someone and then ripping their head in half.

"Huh...oh, right." Titania responded to Ghost's criticism by lifting someone who had frantically been trying to back away from a rapidly advancing Laura and then throwing them so hard against the wall of the fort that they went splat.

Against all odds, the Thunderbolts were winning. The mercenaries' numbers were dropping at a rapid pace. It turned out the Thunderbolts were kind of badass when they worked together. 

Back to back, Yelena and Taskmaster fended off against the defenses and then broke apart to perform the same widow takedown in opposite directions.

Yelena stood up and turned around to see Antonia doing the exact same thing. “You are copying me.” She joked over the sound of battle. 

“I performed the action first.” Taskmaster retorted, spinning around to bury her sword into the chest of a member of the Tracksuit Mafia and then making a human-kebab by skewering them into a compatriot. 

Yelena tossed an electric disc at a Ten Rings assassin coming towards her, dropping them in an instant. “I am pretty sure it is you.”

Taskmaster rolled her eyes at her friend while she bludgeoned someone’s face in with her shield. When a blast of Songbird’s aerial assault sent her to the ground, she looked up to see a brute covered in armour ready to stomp her head in. She rolled out of the way and claws extended from the fingers of her gloves. She lunged on their body and dug into their skin until their faces met to which she then clawed their eyes out. 

Up on the walls of the fort, those who hadn’t yet perished opened fire on the figure approaching only for their bullets to be blocked by shimmering shields. They were powerless to stop Songbird, as, with a twirl, she dropped down upon the battlements and cast a sweeping arc that sent them stumbling. A figure stepped behind her, intent on shooting her, but she spun around and her wing hitting their body sent them flying into the inner courtyard where their living compatriots still tried to kill the invader. Their efforts were then stopped when she let loose a scream that sent a beam that devastated their numbers. 

Back on the exterior, Titania caught a glimpse of something utterly bizarre. Though hard to see at first, the figure darted to and fro under people’s legs. When the illumination of a butterfly fell upon it, Titania could see it in full. It was a Macaque in a business suit with a katana strapped to his back and carrying two uzis; a hitman that was a monkey. One might even call it a Hit-Monkey. 

"What the fuck..." The influencer said, seeing the little freak, and immediately taking a kick at it that sent it across the battlefield like a ball. It dusted off its suit and then soon enough it was back up and charging at Titania at full speed and attempting to shoot at her.

Titania held up her arms over her head to shield herself from the bullets as best she could while running blind, trying to close the gap with the NFT-ass freak. Out of ammo and with no time to reload, Hit-Monkey unsheathed his katana, leaped into the air with a howl, baring his fangs, intent on killing the influencer where she stood. She stepped back from the swinging blade, and swung a wild grab at the monkey and caught his tail. 

Their eyes met as they both knew what was about to happen. Titania smiled and Hit-Monkey began making a few noises that sounded a little like ‘hey let’s talk about this’ before she promptly ragdolled him into the dirt. Gasping from the surprisingly tough fight, Titania looked for the others.

Yelena was currently bashing someone’s head in with the helmet of another while Ghost deflected a majority of the gunfire targeted at Taskmaster who then took out another mercenary with an arrow fired through Ghost from behind, perfectly timed to pass through her while she was incorporeal.

Within the fort, a few Sable officers emerged from the rubble left in the wake of Songbird’s screams. They wondered why they could see the stars through the dense cloud of smoke and dust that hung in the air…only to realise they were arrows ready to drop down on them at any moment. 

“Surrender” Songbird demanded as her wings flapped in descent. No one was stupid enough to attempt to continue fighting her after that. The remaining mercenaries dropped their weapons and raised their hands, some dropping to their knees in terror.

The Thunderbolts stood, dumbstruck. 

"Wow...who knew she kicked so much ass?" Laura asked, pulling her claws out of someone’s skull. 

Titania smiled, in a rare moment of admiration for someone who wasn’t herself. "You go girl."

“That was actually impressive.” Yelena remarked, watching as an exhausted Songbird blew open the gates to the now-ruined fort with a final shriek.

Melissa smiled, proud of having actually helped. The gentlest of blushes crept over her face at the praise. For the first time in her life she felt like she was actually a part of something.  “Thanks. I need a serious break after this though.” Her vocal cords had been strained to their limit in the fight. “You don’t happen to have any lemon water with honey do you?” She weakly joked in a hushed tone.

"Hey, after what we did here, they'll fly honey into the Raft for you, Queen!" Titania said with a grin.

The sky spanned wide and empty in the dome overhead. Shadows shifted in the dark, bumbling for purpose without the light. Then, in a moment of the most perfect silence, the dome cracked. A single ray of light came from the east. The darkness fell westward in retreat, and the shapes below attained form and substance. Warm fingers spread across a cold, dawn sky. They grew, tentatively eating away at the dark, becoming more and more confident until the traces of stars disappeared, blinking away in the stark reality of morning. Against all odds, The Thunderbolts had made it to dawn’s first light. 

They crossed the courtyard and approached the entrance to the fort proper where they saw a figure emerging from the cloud of dust and debris, a woman dressed from head to toe in a red and black costume. The only part of her that wasn’t completely covered in spandex was her golden blonde hair, done up in a high ponytail. On her back she carried two very shiny (and sharp) adamantium katanas…you get the idea on who this is - Wanda Wilson, Deadpool herself, was here. “Who are you guys, some kind of Suicide Squad?”

“Now what?” Yelena muttered in Russian. The list of annoying interruptions Madripoor had thrown at them seemed unending, as if there was some unspoken guarantee that thou shalt get sidetracked by random bullshit every five minutes.

"Alright, drop your weapons, take off your costumes and kneel down to be cuffed." Ladypool said, her voice firm in its confidence. "Madripoor prison isn't really that different from the Raft, I mean, I assume it's not, since it will still be written by the same pair of perverts."

Yelena snort-laughed in response to her command to surrender. Considering that the Thunderbolts had just annihilated a fortress worth of trained killers, she wasn’t exactly intimidated by a single person in a fancy gimp outfit. “What about you retreat before we kill you?”

“Did you say drop our costumes?” Ghost questioned, more caught up on that one detail than the rest of what Ladypool said.

Ladypool nodded. "Oh, come on, you've been in this story long enough to know you were getting naked. This chapter has been light on that so far."

“Chapter?” Songbird asked, perplexed, while Yelena — not understanding what Ladypool meant and not caring to ask — unholstered her gun and simply shot Ladypool.

Ladypool looked down at the bullet hole between her breasts and sighed. "Okay, uzi time baby." She drew the two machine guns on her hips and began spraying the scene in front of her, sending the Thunderbolts diving for cover.

Yelena shoved Melissa behind a fallen piece of the structure before sliding and taking cover herself behind the remains of a Sable vehicle. Following her lead, Taskmaster went behind the same vehicle. 

The rising sun painted the battlefield in burning hues as it ascended over the horizon of Madripoor. There in those smoldering ruins, under gunfire for the billionth time in the last two days, a sole figure stood in fearless, defiant, opposition of the Merc with the Mouth; Laura Kinney. Her arrival was accompanied by a series of metallic clatterings as bullets popped out of her skin from her body regenerating.

Ladypool locked eyes with the angry mutant and ceased her fire. “I don’t want to fight you, peanut. I just want your bounty. So if you could just work with me before I have to cut you into pieces that would be great.”

A smoking bullet casing found its way between Laura’s lips and she spat it out. “Fucking try me.” She’d had enough of everything Madripoor had to offer by now and Ladypool was just the next obstacle in her way to getting a nice long rest atop her bunk on the Raft. 

“Uhhh…uh oh…” Ladypool watched as Laura crouched and her adamantium claws cut right through the flesh of her knuckles. “Fuck. This is gonna hurt.” The mercenary remarked knowing exactly where this was going. The only thing she could do was just shrug and roll with it. “Fuck it. Let’s give the readers the fight they didn’t know they came for.”

“Let’s fucking go…” Laura ran forwards, a new spray of machine gun fire barely phasing her as the wounds healed as fast as they formed. She yelled a primal battle cry, and went low, crawling across the ground and sliding right under Ladypool’s legs with a claw raised to cut the guns in half. 

Dropping the broken uzis, Ladypool drew her swords and stabbed Laura through the chest like a fucking kebab. She then threw her over the top of her, Laura’s t-shirt getting caught on her sword and coming off with it. Ladypool looked at the bloody bit of fabric on the end of her blade and said: "Well, that's just lazy writing."

Topless, Laura was even more enraged. She roared and began wildly slashing. Ladypool barely kept up, parrying a stream of nasty cuts by striking her katanas between Laura’s claws and twisting, forcing just enough distance to avoid being sliced in half. 

Unable to cut her, Laura retracted her claws and punched Ladypool directly in the face then, finding a short opening, stabbed her in the chest repeatedly. It was a risky move that proved to put them on equal footing when Ladypool’s sword cut her across the stomach. 

As Laura yelled in pain, Ladypool spun around and slashed her across the back then through the neck as Laura turned to face her. Laura took mad swings, Ladypool annoyingly barely dodging each of them, before being kicked in the thigh. She fell and was skewered with both katanas. 

“Baby knife” Ladypool said, stabbing Laura in the shoulder for good measure while she tried to get back up. But all the stab wounds in the world wouldn’t keep the mutant down and she got back up even more furious if that was even possible. 

Ladypool experienced a rather brutal string of what normally should have been extremely fatal wounds at the business end of Laura’s claws, including a toe-claw pointed kick to the groin that sent her crumpling to her knees. “Let’s see you grow your head back!” Laura yelled, claws just about to send Ladypool’s head flying across the battlefield. 

“Wait, wait, wait!” Ladypool raised her hands in surrender. She then pointed behind Laura and yelled: “What the fuck is that?!

Laura instinctively turned to see what it was and Ladypool was gone…for a second. She made her location known when she grabbed Laura by the throat and dragged her to a massive protruding chunk of rebar. “I’m really sorry to retraumatised the readers like this…but momma’s gotta get paid.” Ladypool said, then flipped Laura over the piece of metal so that it shot straight through her chest, Logan-style. 

Yelena watched the sight unfold. “Now would be a really good time to scream her head off!” She suggested to Songbird, who responded in a hoarse tone:

“I literally can’t right now.”

Yelena sighed, annoyed. “Of course not.”

Having gone invisible, Ghost appeared suddenly behind Ladypool, gun in hand and ready to blow her brains out. The barrel of the gun touched the back of her head, she felt it, and ducked. She spun around and drove her elbow into Ava’s temple, sending her into a confused sprawl that kept her from concentrating long enough to use her powers. "You were the least memorable part of Ant Man and the Wasp." Ladypool told her, swinging her sword down the zipper of her jumpsuit, and then pulling it apart to reveal her breasts.

Despite Ghost’s head spinning from being hit and vision being blurry from the pain, the sound of her costume tugging open and the sudden feeling of air touching her exposed skin instinctively made her attempt to cover herself. “You bloody pervert!”

"Flatterer" Ladypool said. With some very fast, very cinematic swings of the katana, she cut away the rest of Ghost’s outfit then roundhouse kicked her in the head onto the floor. 

Seeing that Ladypool’s attention was now on her, Titania grabbed a large piece of destroyed artillery that collapsed from one of the towers and swung it as hard as she could at her attacker. “Good luck getting up from that.” She said cockily.

Ladypool went flying and ended up crushed under it with a squelching of flesh and crunching of bone. Over her gruesomely disfigured corpse, Titania dramatically posed triumphantly, really fucking wishing someone had a camera to take a picture of her victory. “Alright y’all she’s dead. You can start celebrating. As per usual, I single handedly beat her!”

Titania's boasting was interrupted by the sound of the artillery piece rolling off to one side, as Ladypool’s bones and sinews snapped back into place, and then she stood up. "Just like the Tyson fight, huh? Well sorry, fem-Jake Paul, unlike him, I'm not throwing it." She began slashing her Widows' jumpsuit.

“That fight wasn’t staged!” Titania insisted while being overwhelmed by the surprisingly carefully precise cuts. She stumbled back in an effort to avoid getting her chest cut open. “Are you for fucking real?” She groaned, once again nearly naked. She looked down to see Ladypool had somehow entirely removed her pant legs so that her only remaining dignity was how the tattered jumpsuit clung to her crotch like a thong. The same level of scarce covering could not be found for her chest, on full display…again. Her costume now heavily resembled her classic comic attire.

"Hey, I had to do it if the MCU writers weren't gonna. They didn't even give She-Hulk her cute leotard."

“Shulkie wears a leotard?” Titania asked, forgetting what was going on and attention fully pulled to imagining that for a second. Being turned on by the mental image of her foe dressed like that totally wasn’t a sign of attraction, right?

"Having gay sex is the fifth gayest thing you can do, that reaction is third or fourth." Ladypool cut away the remains of her outfit and kicked her hard on the bullet wound in her breasts. Titania collapsed and clutched her wounded chest. 

“We pin her in.” Yelena strategised with Antonia, planning to go right while she went left so they could catch the loud-mouthed mercenary in the middle. “Melissa, you will be the distraction”

Songbird looked around, trying to figure out how she’d volunteered for that. “I will?”

“Or you can just lay there and do nothing.” Yelena replied sarcastically. 

Songbird psyched herself up and got ready to probably literally lose the clothes off her back. She left her cover and waved her arms around wildly. “Hey, sex-doll clown, over here” She attempted to shout, but was barely able to speak above a whisper.

Ladypool laughed. "Sex doll clown, that's good one. By the way, before I kick your ass, I think it's an absolute crime that Disney didn't put you in the MCU until its flop era." She ran forwards intending to strip Melissa like the others.

“I don’t know what that means…” Now would have been a really great time for Songbird to have her wings, but she was reduced to essentially trying to flee a crazy woman with swords. She knew she was never gonna outrun her. So she stopped. “Ok look timeout, it’s been a really long day…” She could see Yelena and Taskmistress moving in the background to surprise attack Ladypool. Hanging her head low, Melissa had an idea. It got her out of trouble dozens of times in prison. “…maybe you could put the katana away…and I’ll strip for you?”

Ladypool stopped at that offer and sheathed her swords. "Finally, a girl who gets it! You were a bitch in the Raft, right? You have that energy. "

“Kind of…yeah. But uh what energy?” Songbird asked shyly, knowing the answer but wanting to keep her as distracted as possible. She turned her back to her and found the zipper on the back of her costume. She slowly, tantalisingly, pulled it down while bending forward. It gradually opened and she wiggled her ass while it fell down to her ankles. ‘Any minute now Yelena’  She thought to herself.

Ladypool wolf-whistled through the mask. "The energy of a girl who's no stranger to eating holes in a prison shower. That'll come in real handy where you're going next."

Songbird blushed, recalling the amount of times HYDRA passed her around, while lowering her underwear down her thighs. She didn’t want to begin to imagine what a prison in this nation was like.

Getting into position, Yelena almost signaled to Antonia that now was the time to strike…and then decided to let Songbird finish her routine first. It was really funny to watch. 

Ladypool had begun to walk around Songbird with a predatory gaze and then fondled her breasts. Melissa yelped at her firm touch. “Oh wow you’re…really forward. Actually kind of reminds me of showertime a lot” She chuckled nervously. The amount of times that she was just minding her own business washing up only to feel someone walk up behind her and wrap one arm around her chest to grope her, the other down her thigh towards sticking their fingers in her pussy, and their hard nippled breasts against her back was staggeringly high.

As fun as it was watching Songbird get pushed around, that was enough. Yelena hit Ladypool with a Widow Bite and then advanced.

Ladypool shouted in pain, body feeling like it was being electrified on the spot, while once again grabbing her swords. Taskmaster loosed an arrow at Ladypool in a way that should have gone through her head if she hadn’t leaned back, the arrow merely scratching the front of her mask. It landed in the rubble and exploded. 

Songbird fled, trying to get out of the way so the other two could deal with her. Just in time too because Yelena began relentlessly shooting at Deadpool until her clip emptied. “Why won’t you die?” Yelena asked Ladypool, annoyed but not exactly bloodthirsty. She’d just filled her with lead and she was still upright

"Because this wouldn’t be a good act 3 boss battle if it was easy." Ladypool knocked Yelena's gun out of her hand with the flat of her sword then threw her other sword at Taskmaster to cut the string of her bow as she drew for another shot. While she didn’t manage to cut the string, she did force Taskmaster to drop her bow. 

Resorting back to her baton, Yelena attempted to knock the sword out of Ladypool’s hand, but the mercenary took a step back from Yelena's baton and swung to cut it off just above the handle. There was a spray of sparks and then Yelena was left holding the hilt of her baton and nothing else.

“Cyka!” Yelena hastily procured one of the knives she kept on her left thigh and threw it into Ladypool’s abdomen. The most the wound got out Ladypool was an exaggerated ‘ouchie’ before Taskmaster advanced, sword of her own in hand, intent on decapitating the obnoxious foe. Of course, Ladypool parried. 

Ladypool was against two trained Black Widows, yet, despite that fact, she still was winning. Her moves didn’t make sense to Taskmaster, a mix of random cuts and dance moves that were completely dizzying. Impossible to replicate. Never in Antonia’s life had she fought a foe that so casually switched from brutally trying to stab her to dancing to Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC. And without her main weapon, Yelena was forced to resort to repeatedly stabbing Ladypool to absolutely no avail. 

The two widows were impossibly outmatched and quickly becoming too tired to keep fighting. 

Stepping behind Yelena’s large, nearly bare, butt – just barely fitting the prison panties that were a size too small – Ladypool smirked to herself. She carefully gripped the rim of the panties, tugging just slightly to test the elasticity, before yanking them up with all her force.

Yelena raised an eyebrow as Ladypool grabbed onto her underwear of all things. What could underwear possibly have to do with-

She didn’t have much time to react, simply going wide-eyed with shock before her underwear came riding up her rear in a swift yet painful pull. It was so severe that it took an agonizing millisecond before what was happening fully processed in her mind.

"Ow! Stop it! This is not fun! It is very painful!" Yelena angrily exclaimed as Ladypool painfully hoisted her high into the air until her feet were dangling above the ground. She kicked and groaned, but no matter how she squirmed she couldn’t get the cloth tearing up her buttcrack to hurt any less.

Yelena shut her eyes and began to softly whine, squirming and trying to escape Ladypool’s grasp. "Unhand my underpants or I will cut your face off.” It was a hollow threat but it helped her cope with the pain. 

“Unhand your underpants? Whatever you say!” Ladypool pulled as hard as she could until the waistband snapped over Yelena’s head, finding the absolute most embarrassing way to blind her opponent.  

Yelena pulled the underwear off her eyes in time to watch as Antonia was swept off her feet and she landed on all fours. Furious, the spy charged at Ladypool but she simply side-stepped with a dance and Yelena went falling face-first against Antonia’s bare ass. It was normally the other way around for them, Antonia under her butt. Yelena probably made some snarky comment but it was too muffled by Antonia’s cheeks to understand.

Ladypool performed the People's Elbow on the back of Yelena's head, driving her hard into Antonia's ass. Ladypool then pulled Yelena’s underwear off. 

As the haze cleared from Yelena, she felt the tip of a blade against the back of her head, and the tip of an unlubricated dildo against the pucker of her arse. Where she possibly could have been carrying the strap-on this entire time was an utter mystery. "Get licking, Russian Doll." 

Yelena grit her teeth in irritation at the fact that she was the one being dommed. She was supposed to be the dom, never the sub. The prospect of getting buttfucked while being forced to eat out another woman’s ass was a complete nightmare. But bitterly she obliged and began licking Antonia, tongue starting at first by stroking the crevice between her cheeks. Antonia squirmed, not daring to move from this position, for her own safety and Yelena's. It also felt kind of good…

The spy grabbed Antonia’s hip with one hand then muttered something in Russian before pressing her mouth to her asshole. She was sloppy, unfocused, and yet skilled. She’d made more than enough bitches do this to her to know how to do it. She gave Antonia’s asshole open-mouth kisses. She licked and swirled her tongue over and around it. She only took pauses to gasp from the sensation of Ladypool’s strap-on going all the way in on one hard thrust and pulling out just as hard and fast.

Ladypool ran her hands along Yelena's naked back, fucking her ass mercilessly. "See readers? It wasn't a sex-heavy chapter, but you got Yelena Belova getting humbled by mouth and ass at the end. Happy?"

As soon as that question left Ladypool’s mouth, Yelena and Antonia felt a spray of warm liquid across their bodies (no, not like that). Against what it may have seemed to be, it was blood. But not just blood, bits of pieces of muscle and bone. Strands of hair and teeth. No longer feeling the sharp tip of a katana to the back of her neck, the spy turned around and saw Ghost standing where Ladypool was — now drenched in her gore. There was a very long pause before Ava quietly said: “…I think I got some of her in my mouth…”

Laura painfully stood up, agonizingly pulling herself off the piece of the rebar with grunts and screams of extreme pain. The only relief was the massive wound through her chest was healing shut. "...She seriously stripped everyone naked?"

Despite being exploded into a million bits and pieces, the only thing that didn’t go splattering everywhere was the shaft of the strap-on still up Yelena’s butt. She pulled it out and tossed it aside. That was when what she’d done — or, more precisely, who she’d done it with — hit her and she looked to Antonia with an insistence. “We don’t ever talk about this.”

"Agreed." Antonia said. Despite the single word being in her usual stoic tone, it was enthused with meaning.

“Is everyone alright?” Songbird asked, the only one to remain at least uninjured from the fight. She was also the only one whose clothes hadn’t been cut so she had the luxury of putting her outfit back on and having it be wholly intact. 

Titania gripped her breast, and the now reopened bullet wound. "Who the fuck was that bitch?" 

“Whoever she was, she's dead now.” Yelena wanted to move on from what transpired as quickly as possible. The less said about her being dommed the better. 

Ghost attempted to wipe blood off her face with her dripping-red hands. “So are we just going to skip right past the part where I saved everyone?” She asked.

Yelena only sighed. “No one likes people who brag, Ava.”

Songbird pointed at Taskmaster and awkwardly said: “You…You uh…you have some of her in your hair” The bit of Ladypool in Antonia’s hair began crawling away to rejoin the whole. It seemed a certain fact that the mercenary was reconstituting herself. 

“Okay let’s go before she maybe heals from that.” Yelena said hurriedly. 

Stretching across the sky, a canvas of colors unfurled, running from north to east. Warm morning winds blew over the quiet battlefield and carried over the corpses like the distant moans of ghosts. All that remained for the Thunderbolts in Madripoor was a defenceless Power Broker hidden somewhere inside.

Walking towards the entrance to end this once and for all, Songbird couldn’t help but feel really proud of their little group. Maybe Laura was right, they weren't the new Avengers…but against all odds they’d actually won. “Ok guys seriously we did it. We seriously fucking did it! Like who would have thought that we even stood a chance! Much less could kick so much ass.”

Despite being nearly naked, exhausted, and partly covered in gore (though the gore seemed to be sliding off her as if of its own will...creepy) Titania smiled at Melissa's cute enthusiasm. "Fuck yeah, we did it. And we're gonna make it big together once we're out, Mels. You and me, queens of the Internet!" She celebrated. “Go Titaniacs!”

“We are not calling ourselves Titaniacs.” Yelena replied as she pushed the door open wide.  

It’s funny how a single moment can change everything. How one little action can permanently change the course of a life in an instant. Songbird wanted above all else to be a hero, to find some redemption for the things she’d been forced to do to survive. For once in a very long time the future seemed limitless to a girl whose whole life had been restricted to the role she got to play in it. An infinite number of possibilities to explore. But, in the span of a less than a second, there became only one when she saw the laser pointer on the back of Titania’s head. 

Songbird instinctively spun around to see the source. Despite how far they’d come, how many they’d defeated, there still was one loose end that was bound to catch up with them when they simply were too exhausted to fight anymore. Bullseye was positioned on one of the towers, rifle in hand. 

“Get down!” Melissa cried out aloud before she heard the gunshot. Time seemed to stop when she threw herself in the way. Every moment of her life flashed for her in an instant. Then she felt the bullet pierce her chest…

"Melissa!" Titania cried out with a sincerity unfamiliar to anybody who knew her. She caught her friend in her arms as she fell, and tried to apply pressure to the wound.

“What happened?” Yelena shouted in sudden disbelief, one moment focused on opening the door and in the next seeing a gasping Songbird in Titania’s arms. She could see the blood gushing from the wound in her chest.

"Come on! Come on, Mels, stay with me..." Titania said, desperate, disbelieving. “You’re ok. You’re ok…”

In the background, Taskmaster had quickly discerned the direction the shot came from and notched an arrow in her bow. She’d waited until the laser sight became visible again, and loosed the arrow before Bullseye could shoot again. She watched as Bullseye fell from the tower. But it didn’t matter. 

Melissa’s breaths grew more strained, sudden, short bursts of drawing in what air she could. Everything around her became a blur. She knew she was dying, she knew she would when she threw herself in front of the bullet. She wasn’t as scared as she thought she’d be. She made her first genuine friend and it was just her luck that they’d be the person she’d die for. The faintest of smiles crept over her face as she looked up at Titania. 

Yelena was silent as she helplessly watched Melissa fade in the arms of a pleading, sobbing Titania. The spy touched Titania’s shoulder, a rare show of condolence. To which Titania took Yelena's hand, just wanting the human touch. 

Everyone stood around Titania, stunned to silence. Melissa was dead. 

Neither Yelena nor Laura knew where to begin on formulating what to say, Antonia was quiet – nearly stoic – but deep down she felt saddened, and a small weight even seemed to hang over Ava. They’d all lived lives where loss was all too common, and rarely did Death care if when it struck was fair, but there was something about this one. To survive a battle and to be struck down in the final moment. It was tragically ironic. 

But Thunderstorm had no time or appreciation for such sentiment. "Get moving and capture the target, prisoners, before I shock you all unconscious."

Yelena didn’t expect it, but watching her teammate die — even someone she’d only known a couple days — brought back a flood of memories of the Red Room she carefully did what she could to bury over the years. Names and faces of widows she was powerless to help. The way she was raised, guilt and grief were weaknesses. But they’d never successfully beaten it out of her, nor had she been dulled by the amount of friends she’s watched die. Sure she’d pushed Songbird around, but she didn’t mean anything by it. Genuine fury flashed in her voice as she replied to Thunderstorm: “Give her a second to grieve.” It wasn’t a plea but a command. 

"We're taking her body." Titania said, eventually, her voice hoarse. "And you fuckers are sending it back to her home to be buried by people who loved her. You agree to that, or I'm sitting right here. You can shock me to death, but you'll lose your best fighter. Your call." She realised she didn’t know if Melissa had anyone who cared about her back home. 

A mocking chuckle could be heard on the other end. Thunderstorm was amused by the ant standing up to a boot that was Titania’s belief that she could make demands. “People who loved her? Like her shitbag father? Oh I know, how about her waste of a mother?” 

Yelena had enough. She gave Antonia a glance, a look of regret that became stern defiance and a refusal to care if anyone had any problems with what she was about to say. “Your choice, Thunderstorm. Do what she says or we will let Sharon escape.” She ruled for the entire team. Titania wouldn’t be alone.  

Thunderstorm gave a frustrated sigh, and issued Yelena a small shock for her defiance. "Fine, we'll do that.” She said through gritted teeth. “Just get the bitch."

A silence hung over the group as Titania lifted Songbird’s body. No words were spoken as they searched the dilapidated interior ruins of the fortress, where debris had caved in hallways and rooms, because there was nothing to be said. Yelena accompanied Titania closely the entire time, room by room. It was abandoned. More a husk than anything else. They stopped when they found a secure code-locked door that wouldn’t be opened for anything short of an explosion…so they did just that. It led to a room of monitors and in the center stood Sharon Carter.

She stared defiantly at her soon-to-be captors, furious yet impressed that they’d actually managed to corner her. She had a gun on her but she knew there was no point. She couldn’t shoot five people dead before they opened fire on her. At most she’d only be able to kill one more of them. For the first time in a long time she didn’t have an escape plan. She was entirely at their mercy. At least it seemed that way. In actuality she still had one more possible move…

“Do you even know why you were sent after me, or did you just obey commands like SWORD’s attack dogs? This…” She held up a USB “...is what you went to all this trouble for. What you lost your friend for.”

But no one cared to hear what she had to say. Not when Songbird was dead because of her. Taskmaster stepped forward. "Sharon Carter, you're under arrest in the name of the Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Division. Kneel. Hands behind your head." She realised it was faintly ridiculous that she was giving that speech naked but so was this entire mission.  

Sharon didn’t comply. At least not yet. “Listen, I know you all probably think I’m bad right now…but I’ve done nothing compared to the things SWORD will bury if you hand me over. I’m the lesser of two evils.”

Laura knew she's probably right. She didn't care. After what she had done to her in particular, and the group as a whole, Laura wanted to see her imprisoned and humiliated. She approached her, fully intending to drive her claws through her hands if she didn't comply immediately.

But Yelena and Antonia paused. "What's on the drive?" Taskmaster asked. 

“Play footage” Sharon quickly commanded the interface. 

The monitors each turned on and showed something different. Hyperion abandoning a crashing plane full of terrified people, threatening to mow them down with his laser vision if they didn’t get out of his way. Vision being ambushed by the Squadron Supreme and torn apart piece by piece. Sex tapes of celebrities and politicians in the Hellfire Club, recorded by Emma Frost for her personal consumption or blackmail – awful things showcasing some of the depths of human depravity. So called ‘heroes’ committing acts of rape, torture, and murder. Inhumane tests Oscorp had been doing on alien species. Video evidence of the experiments conducted on the subjects in an Alkali-Transigen lab – including the ones done on Laura Kinney. 

“If you bring me in they’re going to make sure that none of this sees the light of day. You’ll be signing off on assuring that not a single person here sees justice. Every single one of these monsters will keep hurting more people. It will be your fault.” SWORD had been worried that Sharon would be a whistleblower, that she’d spread the footage to everyone who could see it, but really it was just insurance. As long as she had it she thought she could use it to bargain. “Let me guess, they promised you a reduced sentence for capturing me, right? Will that be worth the blood on your hands?”

"If you're so concerned with justice, why haven't you released it?" Yelena asked. 

“Because they would have just sent you after me sooner and I would definitely be dead. I know information that your boss probably wants. SWORD made a deal with me a few years ago to gather any information I could regarding enhanced individuals and they said they’d turn a blind eye to my presence here in Madripoor. I knew it was only a matter of time before I outlasted my use and obviously I was right. Believe me, I wanted to release this…but I can still do a lot more good alive.” Most of what Sharon was saying was probably bullshit but the only thing she could do was try to talk her way out.

"Well, good news, we've been told to bring you in alive." Ghost said. "That's actually the only reason I haven't ripped out your still-beating heart and shown it to you before you hit the ground."

Seeing her last window of escape closing shut, Sharon stared daggers at each of the Thunderbolts. “You don’t-“ 

Titania blurred past her teammates and knocked Sharon on her ass, after carefully setting down Melissa's body during the conversation.

The influencer got on top of Sharon and began hitting her again and again. She wanted to beat her until there was nothing left but a puddle of blood and broken bones. 

“Titania, stop!” Yelena grabbed her by her shoulder and tried to pull her off a dazed and terrified Sharon. The spy knew first hand what it was like to lose someone and to want to kill the person who killed them. She wanted to see Sharon dead and she wanted it to be slow. But not at the expense of the reason she took on the mission in the first place. “You can’t kill her.”

"WHY THE FUCK NOT!" Titania demanded, furious.

“Because this entire mission was about capturing her alive.” Yelena explained the rational side before attempting to appeal to Titania’s emotional state. “We didn’t come all this way for it to be for nothing, did we?” Unable to move Titania, she resolved to get on her knees and try to sit beside her.

Titania looked down, breathing heavily, the tears in her eyes making it impossible to see. "She killed Melissa." She said softly.

“I know. I know…” Yelena’s tone softened slightly too. Her grip loosened, more in support of her grief than in defiance of her fury. “But if you kill her now then Melissa died for nothing. You can still get sentence reduced.” But she knew from experience sometimes something so distant wasn’t enough. 

On the same page with Yelena for once, Ghost was empathetic in her own way when she suggested: “At least kill her in prison.”

Titania sighed. She delivered one more hard punch to knock Sharon unconscious. "You're carrying her." She said to Yelena, dismissively, going back to pick up Songbird again.

And so, with a tragedy, the Thunderbolts' stay in Madripoor was at an end. When they emerged from the fortress, Thunderstorm and the quinjet were already waiting for them. There was no celebration of a mission accomplished during the flight home. Just exhaustion, pain, and rage. 

—————————————————————

Thunderstorm very pointedly didn’t issue any of the Thunderbolts clothes aboard the jet, simply securing them in their seats with restraints. She put Songbird in a body-bag and stored her in the cargo bay, giving her restraint seat to Carter…who found herself stuck next to Laura for the flight.

The mutant glared at her. "Bet you wish you hadn't tortured me now."

Sharon’s beaten head pounded as she came to and her actual situation began to set in. Her cocky attitude was gone as she looked wide-eyed and nervous at Laura. She tried to speak but she was now gagged. She noticed that all eyes seem to be on her in collective hatred at the moment. 

“You will be lucky if you survive your first day…” Yelena said. She didn’t plan to kill her but she wouldn’t have been surprised in the slightest if someone else on the team cornered Sharon when the guards weren't looking and let her become well-acquainted with the tip of a shiv. 

Titania proceeded to make Yelena’s point when she spent the first 20 minutes of the flight making a series of increasingly graphic threats to Sharon (her best was "I will crush your skull between my thighs, then flush your brainmatter down the nastiest toilet in the prison”) until Thunderstorm got sick of it and gagged her too. 

“You haven’t felt what it’s like to have a broom handle up your arse, have you?” Ghost taunted Sharon, a truly unnervingly creepy grin on her face (made only more ominous by the fact that she was still largely drenched in Ladypool’s blood). Out of all the members, Ava had the least personal grudge with Sharon. She just thought it was fun seeing how increasingly scared the criminal underworld ruler looked.

Taskmaster remained silent for the flight, the only one of her group not taunting Carter. Yelena tried to give her a chance to join in but her silence was expected. Inevitably there were only so many threats and soon enough the others became as silent as Antonia. 

It was during this quiet moment during the flight that Laura turned to Yelena. "Hey. You know Songbird...she wasn't really Hydra. She just hung out with them for protection."

Although Yelena pretty much figured that, she nodded in contemplation even though she wasn’t quite sure what exactly what she considering. “Why do you tell me this?” She questioned Laura. It’s not as if she could do anything now. Maybe it was just the possibility of what she could have done. 

"...She mentioned wanting to join someone else. I just thought the Widows could have taken her in." Laura wasn’t even sure why she was telling Yelena this. She just felt like she should know.

If things had been different Yelena would have planned to convince Natasha to let Melissa join the Widows. Afterall, she’d proven herself more than impressive when she ought the defences of the fortress with a light show. The spy had actually kind of grown to like her. 

“It is not my problem now.” Yelena said callously because actually thinking about it hurt. Laura gave her a dirty look but Yelena ignored it.

                  Epilogue

—————————————————————

Sharon shivered as she stepped beneath the showerhead, half expecting to be met with an icy blast after the stellar reception to the Raft that she’d experienced thus far. She’d barely walked off the quinjet and gone through the doors when she was stripped naked and put on full display for a perverted guard who proceeded to search her everywhere. Their unlubricated glove violently explored every last cavity of Sharon’s body. Then they made her pose for her mugshots before letting her get dressed. 

When Sharon’s intake was done she was brought to the warden’s office where Valentina offered hee some leniency if she told her everything she knew. Sharon refused and was taken here…to a public shower where she was the only occupant. The fact that she was alone was the only semblance of relief she felt.

Overcoming her hesitation, Sharon turned the dial and was surprised to find that the water was warm. It felt soothing against her beaten and bruised body. She was fairly certain that Titania had broken at least one of her ribs. 

She fumed beneath the water. She was the Power Broker…and now she was powerless. She was nothing more than an inmate. She hated every single one of her captors and imagined what she would do to them when she inevitably gained her revenge. The order in which she would kill them and how. They had to pay for what they’d done to her. 

Just as she thought that, the door opened…

Sharon heard the unmistakable sound of footfalls against wet tile behind her. A chill shot down her spine. Paralysed by an overwhelming sense of terror, she didn’t dare turn around yet. She couldn’t. But she counted the sounds. Five people.

Titania was first to step into the shower, a dour look on her face and an enormous green strap-on on her crotch. Something was really wrong if she wasn’t talkative. 

“Hello, Sharon Carter.” Yelena grinned, tossing her towel onto a bench before entering the shower too. She longed to return to her girlfriend, but that would have to wait until this last assignment in her mission was over. Val wanted the Thunderbolts to give Sharon an initiation to incarceration. 

Laura walked beside her, grinning and waving her strap-on around. "Payback's a bitch, huh?"

“L-Look we all have done some things…we can talk this out…” Sharon was shaking and nothing had even happened yet. But she knew where this was headed and she now understood why Valentina had sent her into the shower.

Ghost strolled in, mop in hand as promised. It took paying a small fee to borrow it off Wanda Maximoff’s cart but the witch seemed willing enough. “Oh you’re welcome to talk…if you can. It’s just that what we’re about to do to you might hurt…”

Taskmaster followed the rest, silent and intimidating, looking slightly absurd with such an expression while naked with a strap-on dangling between her legs. 

Sharon now finally mustered the resolve to face the now very vengeful team of convicts and she nearly screamed. The actual sight of the five of them against one of her was far worse than knowing they were there but having her back turned. Her eyes frantically assessed each of their naked bodies, terrified. “I-I’m really not into women…” She didn’t know why she said that considering what she’d done to Laura. Words just seemed to spill out.

"Well we both know that isn't true." Laura growled. "I call first go on her ass."

“Deal.” Ghost rubbed the top of the broom and smirked. “I was thinking this should see a different hole first anyway.”

The extent to which Yelena wanted to participate was limited by the fact that she was the only one in a committed relationship, but limited didn’t mean nonexistent. Her favourite method was still allowed. “I will find use for her face.”

Seeing that she was in for the most miserable time of her life, Sharon turned to pleading. “I’ll do anything you want just get away from me!”

"You think there's anything you could offer that would be better than making you scream?" Laura asked, spinning her around and bending her over. Sharon tried to fight but relented when Laura said: “Hold still or my claws will be the thing going up your ass instead.” After what Sharon did to her, the threat was anything but hollow.  

Sharon’s perfectly round butt jiggled as Laura’s hands painfully gripped her cheeks. She held onto the wall and tried to escape but Ghost already had her by the hair before she knew it. “You can’t do this to me! I’m the Power Broker!”

Laura actually laughed at her pathetic attempt to hold on to that title. "You better learn to be a power bottom fast." Laura was quietly grateful to Gwen for teaching her that term. The mutant aligned herself, rubbing her tip up and down. Then, with no further warning or preamble, she thrust forward, spearing Sharon completely in one brutal stroke. The criminal screamed, her asshole stretching and molding around the enormous intruder. Her arms flailed helplessly. 

The moan Sharon made as Laura began pushing her pelvis against her was…humiliating. A long, drawn out sensual gasp that echoed through the shower room. She hoped that the nickname wouldn’t stick. But she would have no such luck. 

“Yes ‘power bottom’ I like that. You are now the power bottom.” Yelena said, taking over for Ava by leaning on Sharon’s back and grabbing ahold of her breasts. The spy kneaded them in her grasp and then pinched her nipples and began to twist. Sharon screamed. 

Although Sharon continued trying to talk her way out of this, the brutal, unforgiving pace of being fucked hard, relentlessly, efficiently, rendered her unable to formulate words. The pain was intense but there was a strange pleasure to it. Laura provided no tenderness or affection - just raw, animalistic use. She was like a beast, borderline feral. Sharon could barely bear it.

Sharon grimaced as Laura used her, the violent grunts of the younger girl’s pleasure igniting her. She was a slave to the mutant’s thick, pulsing dildo, the thing rocking in and out of her tight hole with an uneven rhythm as Laura got used to her new role. It slowly became something more, enough that Sharon’s eyes rolled back, and her back arched, and she muttered something too slurred to discern, half-words rolling into a loud moan. 

Laura’s moans as she dolled out vengeance upon Sharon ended when she stepped back and Sharon was flipped on to the ground. She looked up at the ceiling for a second before her vision was blocked by Yelena’s more-than generous rear plopping down on her face and practically suffocating her. She couldn’t see anything but her butt riding her face but she certainly felt the tip of something touch her pussy lips. At first she thought it was one of the many strap-ons…and then the texture gave it away as a broom.

Both of Sharon’s holes clenched when Ava started violating her with the broom and Titania kneeled down and pulled the Power Bottom up, having to lean slightly to access her butt, but reaming it with super strength and enthusiasm. Sharon screamed and then let out a series of agonised whimpers. Her ass was sore as it was from being penetrated by Laura…taking the force of someone with super-strength (even if limited by a suppressant collar) was torturous. 

While that was happening, Yelena grinded her bottom against the miserable blonde’s face, listening keenly to every little pained gasp and cry Sharon made. The spy began to moan as Sharon licked her hole, reaching between her thighs and giving Sharon a pat on the head. "Okay, now you will lick harder... and move it in circles as well. Lick everything, Power Bottom.” 

A soft trickle of tears splashed against Yelena’s cheeks as Sharon swirled her tongue in circles. Sharon applied more pressure and Yelena could feel her tongue bend along as she worked her way against her ass. The tears made Yelena experience a confusing mix of emotions. Any guilt she may have felt was buried under the intense pleasure she felt in her pussy from breaking the villain. If anyone deserved this treatment in prison it was Sharon.

Sharon was being pounded back and forth, Ava’s ferocious fucking making her slip up and down Titania’s emerald dildo, pleasure doubling and rising higher. Her and Titania’s hips slapped together with the speed of Titania’s wrathful lust. Sharon felt the heat of the dildo inside her, the ridges adding deeper sensation with every rock of Titan’s hips. She lost her breath for a moment, tumbling into a field of miserable pleasure as her thighs shifted and curled across the cool, wet floor, tensing and untensing sporadically.

The broom’s tip was so large that Sharon’s pussy pulsed with every bounce, lips coated in her wetness. The Power Bottom lost her breath, drowning as she was penetrated in a glorious, aching rhythm. Hands were on her, on her chest and shoulders, slipping up and down her body, groping at her breasts and stroking her sides. 

Ava took absolutely no care for the pain she subjected Sharon to, in fact she revelled in it. She fingered herself while she basked in her fallen foe’s defeat, violating Sharon with the broom until the efforts of her own hand made her cum. Sharon thought things would end when the broom was pulled out, but Taskmaster simply took Ava’s place.

Yelena briefly turned to smile at Antonia, reminded of the old days when they would punish people together. People who didn’t pay their fee in cigarettes for usage of a bitch got to experience what being a bitch was like. Antonia met Yelena's gaze and gave her a rare smile. It was a wholesome moment…for them. Sharon was having the absolute worst time of her life. But luckily for her, not for long. Because prison would be abundant in worsts for her and they would probably make this showertime gangbang look easy in comparison.

Sharon hated how excited she was but she couldn’t help it. Taskmaster driving herself into her had her wetter than she would ever care to admit. Barely able to keep track of what was happening, she pleaded: “Just let me cum! Please just give me that!”

Taskmaster intentionally slowed down to deny her. Sharon didn’t deserve to enjoy a second of this. 

“Fuck you…” Sharon weakly cursed, babbling and drooling. She wasn’t even truly coherent at this point. She just pleaded, and gasped, and licked.

"You're the one who's fucked." Laura laughed dryly as she made use of the shower herself, washing off the dried blood of the scientists from the lab she escaped while Sharon whined and writhed on the floor.

Sharon lost track of time as she experienced act after act of violation. All too aware of what was being done to her but powerless to stop their revenge against her. She did try. There was a point where she managed to get to her feet but Yelena slammed her face-first against the wall and brought her back to their mercy. She vaguely recalled Titania saying ‘this is for Mels’ and she replied something to the effect of ‘that little bitch got what she deserved.’ For that, Titania grabbed a fistful of her hair and thrust her head into the tiles.

Nose broken, Sharon shut up for good for the rest of her punishment. She didn’t regret what she did but the Thunderbolts sure as fuck make sure she hurt for it. 

When they were done, all that was left of the Power Broker was a used-up shell, panting and heaving in utter exhaustion. The last thing she saw before being knocked unconscious by a hit to the head was Yelena looming over her and saying in her chillingly sadistic tone:

“Welcome to the Raft, Power Bottom.”

—————————————————————

Titania was uncharacteristically silent, rage only slightly cooled by what she’d just done to Sharon. The guards let her get dressed and she didn’t even complain about the noxious jumpsuit. Not so much as a whine even. She couldn’t find the capacity to care for the time being. But what was most perplexing for her was the destination she was travelling to, the prison library – a place she’d never set foot in before due to an aversion to reading anything longer than a tweet. She just wanted to be somewhere quiet and apparently libraries tended to fit the bill. 

Someone who wasn’t a stranger to the library was Jennifer Walters, who’d had a lovely few days (well, lovely by super-prison standards) of having some time to herself, being able to go about her day in peace without a certain bratty influencer giving her shit to make her hulk-out and spank her. She’d even managed to maintain her human form most of the time, which she was in now, reading as Titania arrived. She groaned, expecting the usual shittalk...and realized something must be wrong when it didn’t come. 

It was concerning how Titania barely even gave her arch-nemesis a glance. A long, silent moment passed before Jennifer asked. "So, how was your trip?" She’d never been the one to break the silence between them before.

“The fucks it matter to you?” Titania challenged after taking a pause to see if she even wanted to bother talking to Jennifer right now.

"Uh...I guess it doesn't." Jennifer said. Another pause passed. Jennifer looked back down at her book and resolved to just ignore Titania’s presence…but she couldn’t. "Something's wrong isn't it?"

“Wow what gave it away?” Titania immediately asked sarcastically, hurting too much to see that Jennifer was trying to extend help.

Jennifer reluctantly set her book aside and sat beside Titania. "Listen...Mary..." She rarely called her that, or anything other than insults. "I know our...dynamic doesn't lend itself to healthy sharing...but if you need to talk about whatever's wrong...I'm here. I promise not to judge or use it against you."

Titania was already about to say some other sarcastic remark but Jennifer calling her ‘Mary’ made her reevaluate her assessment of the situation. It made her put her defenses down a little. It then clicked that Jennifer was genuinely showing her some empathy. Normally she would have capitalised on the attention that sympathy brought, but for once she didn’t. “…I lost a friend.” She said quietly, as if doing so any louder would make it too real.

Jennifer spent a few seconds in stunned silence. Part of her, a part she wasn’t proud of, immediately wanted to quip 'you have friends?' But she didn't. She put what she hoped was a comforting hand somewhat awkwardly on Mary’s back. "...I'm sorry to hear that."

“…Thanks…” Titania said, sorrowfully but appreciative.

Laura walked with the guards back to her cell, confused, exhausted and rattled by her experience. She wanted to sleep. To clear her head. But she was headed back to a cell she shared with Gwendolyn Poole. Getting to sleep without hearing the fangirl’s voice in the background wasn’t an option. Laura hadn’t even stepped foot into the room before Gwen hopped out of bed, grinning ear to ear to see her favourite cranky mutant. “Hiya cellie! How was the Thunderbolts?! Let me guess, Taskmaster died, right?” She was practically bouncing up and down.

Laura looked confused, as she often did when Gwen started talking. "Huh...why would you think...no, she didn't. Songbird did, though."

“Not Geraldine! Have you seen her thighs? I would so let her strangle me between her legs…” It was a 50/50 chance that Gwen would or wouldn’t catch on to the fact that her demeanour wasn’t appropriate for the topic at hand.

Laura gave her a hard glare to tip the odds.

“Sorry.” Gwendolyn smiled sheepishly. She didn’t know what to say but her mouth opened up and said something anyway. “So uh welcome back! You didn’t happen to meet a guy named Sentry on your quest, did you?” She really needed to know how much this chapter compared to the film since it’s obviously a tie-in.

"No." Laura replied. "But I got tortured and experimented on by a bunch of mad scientists. It was..." She trained off. "...I felt helpless. I never wanted to feel that way again..."

“Oh” Gwen finally took a pause, realising that she was being overbearing. As hot as torture and experimentation kind of sounded, she didn’t say anything about that part. “I’m really sorry. I-I…y’know I’m not really good at this…I uh…I’m here for you. Do you want to tell me about it? I promise I won’t make it sexual.”

Laura was silent for a few seconds. And then the tears she'd been holding back started to flow. She hugged Gwen, wanting human contact. Gwen hugged her back in a wholly heartfelt embrace. The fangirl felt Laura’s tears fall against her jumpsuit and she just held her tighter. It dawned on her that, knowing Laura’s history, she was probably the first person in her life that she’d been able to be this vulnerable with. She also realized that nothing she said in this moment would make Laura’s pain go away. So she didn’t say anything.

—————————————————————

Given a few hours to recover from the mission and treated for the stab wounds Bullseye gave her, Ava Starr found herself free from being patched up in the infirmary in time for dinner. Rather fittingly, she was emotionally the least phased by what the Thunderbolts went through but something had been on her mind since they were attacked by Deadpool. She received her meal from Agatha Harkness and navigated quietly through the cafeteria in search of someone. She found her sitting with the Widows…

Antonia noticed Ghost approaching, and though she didn't show it, she was surprised. What could Ava have possibly wanted?

Ava's eyes met hers and, contrasting with her usual creepy demeanour, she suddenly felt a little nervous. She wasn’t sure how she looked to the widow, slouching and long hair half concealing her face like a dreadful spirit. “You fought pretty well back in Madripoor.”

"So did you." Antonia said. "You saved us from a difficult situation." She didn't elaborate further at the table. She figured that if she tried, Yelena would attack her.

“When I was standing there drenched in that woman’s blood I couldn’t help but think that I’d have much preferred to maybe be covered in some different bodily fluids…” Ava was willing to be the first to admit that she was an awkward flirt, but what else could be expected when she had essentially spent the entirety of her life as a shadow to the world.

A long, awkward silence followed. "...Are you trying to...proposition me?" Antonia asked in a tone she hoped conveyed that she wasn’t not not interested.

Ava shifted her gaze to the floor briefly and then back to her. “Yes. Yes I am.”

Antonia’s response was rather adorable. "Look...I'm not saying no, but you need to understand that my relationship with sex and romance is...well, complicated to put it politely. I was very young when my father removed me from society. Prepubescent. By the time I started having my first sexual urges, I hadn't had a real conversation with another human in years. That only ended shortly before I was imprisoned here. Again, I'm not saying no, I just want to make sure-"

Ava cut her off, barely listening to her social issues. They could be socially awkward together. “Want to go abuse my busty bitch?”

"...Yes, that sounds delightful." Antonia hurriedly finished her food and then stood up.

—————————————————————

Natasha Romanoff has always dreamed of motherhood, taking care of someone who was smaller than her and needed her to survive. She had a caring personality that only came out at certain times, especially during her time as a recruiter for the Avengers. But what she had not signed up for was taking care of Kate Bishop for three whole days. 

However, her love for her sister and feeling a certain responsibility towards her sister’s girlfriend was what made Natasha keep Kate close to her – much to the archer’s chagrin. Natasha had developed a certain style of stalking Kate, staying just close enough to her that she could interfere if anything happened. Of course, every single gang was aware of her behaviour at this point, so Kate had been well left alone. Natasha had taken Yelena’s empty bunk, partly so she could keep an eye on Kate even in the night, but also because she missed her sister more than she’d ever admit, and the sheets still smelled like her.

When a stirring in the bunk below her made her wake up, she groaned before whipping her legs over the side of the bed, getting ready to make her and Kate some disgusting prison coffee to celebrate another day of dull waiting for her sister’s return.

Both of them were sipping their drinks in silence, not having that much in common and therefore not much to talk about, when their cell door opened. Natasha was ready to be interrupted by one of her people, but her face lit up as battered, tiring looking yet smiling Yelena stood in the doorway. She opened her arms animatedly. “Daddy’s home!” She said in a perfect imitation of her adoptive father’s voice.

Kate yelped and got up from the bed, flying into her girlfriend’s open arms. 

Natasha smirked at her sister and nodded proudly. “Hey.”

“I’m so glad you’re home, your sister has been driving me crazy.” Kate whispered in Yelena’s ear as they embraced. “Are you okay?”

The memories of the past days flashed through Yelena’s head and she realised there was no way to explain the events to Kate, especially now that she was so happy to see her again and just wanted to enjoy her time for a little bit with the two people she loved most in the entire world. “Yes, It was not that bad. I actually had fun.” She looked at Nat over the top of Kate’s head and shook her head. Natasha nodded understandingly and mouthed ‘We’ll talk later’ motioning to Kate. “How has life been without me? Boring, I assume?” Yelena asked. 

Natasha chuckled and Kate let out an animated groan. “It was sooooo boring. No one wanted to play board games with me and I missed the feeling of your…” The archer’s voice trailed away realising Natasha was still there. “Hand.” She laced their fingers together to save the moment.

“Right.” Yelena said, her eyebrow raised suggestively. “Well, we can work on that later. Let’s do a game first. Nat, you pick.”

Natasha, who strangely felt jealous of her sister and girlfriend’s closeness for the first time now, thought of the last game she played with Wanda a couple months ago. 

“Let’s do the Game of Life.”

After the past few days Yelena had experienced, nothing sounded better. She’d fought tirelessly for three days in a city where literally everyone wanted to kill her and she’d only narrowly survived. But sitting here, smiling and laughing as they played the board game, it all seemed worth it. Kate Bishop was worth it. And now Yelena was home.

—————————————————————

Melissa Gold awoke in a place she didn't recognise. It was a forest, full of ancient trees that grew so tall one could barely see the tops of them. Vines latched on to their bark, thriving. The air was cold, yet smelled sweet. It was night and yet it wasn’t dark. The full moon in the night sky above somehow seemed to cast a light over everything despite the dense canopy of leaves overheard. Had Melissa even woken up here? She didn’t remember opening her eyes. She simply became acutely aware that she was here. 

One minute she’d been in Madripoor and then the next she was…wherever this was. Her memory was foggy but slowly it came back to her. She was dead. She remembered it. She’d taken a-

“-Bullet to the chest.” Spoke a voice, aware of what Melissa had been thinking. 

A figure emerged from the trees, barefoot and draped in a cloak of shimmering green, the colour of moss after rain. Rio Vidal, the original Green Witch, moved with a predator’s grace, her eyes glinting like emeralds in the moonlight. She was older than Melissa, though her face held a timeless beauty—sharp cheekbones, a wicked curve to her lips. Power radiated from her, earthy and primal, but also a strange aura of compassion and mercy. Bearing witness to her was beyond that which words could truly describe. 

Immediately Melissa understood who she was seeing. The woman before her was Death. 

“That’s all I get? That’s it?” Melissa asked, disappointed and confused. She understood the decision she’d made but she was no less shocked to now be on the other side of her sacrifice. 

Death chuckled dryly. “If I had a nickel…”

“I guess 26 years wasn’t so bad. It’s more than I thought I’d get.” It was not a grand redemption, nor an atonement for a rough life, but she died the way she wanted, a hero. The life of Songbird was a tragedy and she died tragically. She showed who she was at heart when she could have lived out her dreams of a better future but chose in that fateful moment to sacrifice herself for someone else. She died saving the first person in a long time who treated her like a human being. In a horrible life she got to at least experience a pretty good last three days. “I gotta say that I really thought I had a shot at finally doing something with my life towards the end there.”

Lady Death smiled faintly, something oddly soothing in her warm expression. Endless years – eternity – showed in her eyes, far older than the visage she presented. “You got what everyone gets, Melissa. A lifetime. And just between you and me, I think you did a good job. You did more for this world than you know.”

“I did?” Melissa asked. 

Death extended her hand. She figured there was one thing she could do before they moved on. Just one small glimpse into the future. “Come with me when you’re ready. I have something to show you…”

“So she wasn’t a Nazi?” Ava Starr asked slowly, sitting beside Antonia at the cafeteria table as she ate the tray of slop that the Raft deemed food. It had been an entire week since her weekend in Madripoor and she was honestly a little glad to be somewhere where she wasn’t being shot at every five minutes. 

Titania – sitting opposite her – looked at her, offended. She was not about to let anyone slander the woman who’d saved her life. “She literally said she wasn’t.”

“That’s practically what every Nazi says! She had the tattoos…” Ava said defensively. “...Well fuck now I kind of feel bad…”

Chapter 39: Less than Marvelous

Summary:

Kamala Khan adapts to prison life, Carol Danvers survives being the bottom bitch of the Galaxy Gals, and Monica Rambeau makes her long overdue return to the series.

Chapter Text

Kamala Khan wasn't having the best time at the Raft, though she really hadn't expected to. She was still holding onto hope, and wasn't yet broken like so many of the other prison bitches, but things weren't great. She was constantly doing random things for her prison mommy G'iah, each more humiliating than the last. It had gotten to the point where she looked forward to the days where she was simply used as a footrest. Anything beat having to eat out the other prisoners. And on top of that, Carol Danvers, her beloved idol, wasn't speaking to her. Ever since being claimed by the Galaxy Gals, Carol had gone radio silent, presumably she wanted to protect her. But Kamala didn't want Carol to protect her that way.

"Can I stop now, please?" Kamala asked, down on all fours currently being made to scrub the cell floor with her own toothbrush. 

Becky St. Jude looked down at her. The bully found brief periods to pick on her old foe in between being tasked with the absolutely lame bitch stuff G’iah made her do. “Um does the floor look clean to you, crack?” 

Kamala cringed as she looked down at the still disgusting floor, raising her toothbrush to her face and whimpering at how nasty it looked. "G'iah will get me a new toothbrush, right?"

Lounging on the top bunk reading War of the Worlds, G’iah rolled her eyes at the invocation of her name. Being the prison mommy of the cell with two significantly younger cellmates actually felt way more like being a mother than she cared for. Her two bitches seemed to constantly need her attention. “You can share a toothbrush.” She ruled without looking up from her page. 

Kamala turned to Becky with a wince, grossed out and a little nervous that the bully was gonna take this out on her. "S-sorry..." She then resumed brushing the floor, a little more effort put in now that she knew this toothbrush would be going in the trash.

But Becky wasn’t about to just stand around and take it.  “What? That’s so not fair!” She argued, arms thrown around in emphasis of her every word. “Just because Kamala Crack can’t grow a spine doesn’t mean I should share a toothbrush with this rug muncher! I don’t wanna taste alien pussy juice every time I go to brush my teeth.”

G’iah just sighed and buried her face deeper into her book.  “You’re about to taste my ‘alien pussy juice’ if you don’t shut up.” The skrull grumbled. 

Kamala pursed her lips as Becky complained and criticized her, pouting and scrubbing as she tried to ignore the harsh words. Having to eat out aliens was horrible, not something to be joked about. And she still hated that awful nickname. Kamala Crack. It embarrassed her to no end, and left her feeling like nothing more than a pathetic loser with a big ass... which she kinda was. Let's be honest.

"Hope you don't shut up." She muttered under her breath.

“What was that?” Becky whipped around and asked antagonistically. “Are you forgetting I’m like a legit supervillain? I could send you straight to the infirmary if I wanted.” She was mostly all talk. She shoved Kamala around, gave her swirlies, and was generally an all around asshole, but unlike the Raft’s other resident mean girl (Illyana) she wasn’t violent. She just liked sounding like a badass…despite literally being on the lowest rank of the prison hierarchy. 

Kamala blushed as she realized her rather bland insult had been heard. Despite the fact that Becky really wasn't much of a threat, she still didn't love the bullying that reminded her of her school days. "I didn't forget. I'm sorry. I was just upset." She kept her eyes on the floor she was scrubbing, hoping that would keep Becky from flipping out further.

“Your hair looks dirty…how about I help you wash it?” Becky was about to shove her head in the toilet…for the second time today. 

Kamala finally looked up at Becky as her face fell, fear clear in the way that she gasped and shook her head. "P-please no!"

G'iah sighed, flipping to the next page of her book before speaking. "Stop messing with Kamala..."

Becky let Kamala’s hair go and took a step back. She didn’t dare blatantly disobey G’iah. But doing it subtly was fine so she started poking Kamala’s nose. 

Kamala winced and pulled her face back as she was poked, the childish method of torment both confusing and frustrating the girl. "Stop! Stop! G'iah, make her stop!"

G'iah sighed. "I'm making a deal with Sylvie tonight for the Asgardians help with Galaxy Gals business, and I can't decide which one of you I want to rent out for it. Behave, or do I need to remind you she's gotten quite into anal penetration lately?"

Becky left Kamala alone as fast as possible, practically fleeing to the other side of the tiny cell. Not before shooting Kamala a rude glare, but hey at least she wasn’t touching her anymore. It wouldn’t have looked good for her (already subterranean) status in the Raft if she got a mop shoved up her butt. 

Kamala had luckily avoided having her rear passage invaded too much, aside from one or two highly negative experiences. She really hoped to avoid it further. She began scrubbing the floor harder than ever before, wanting to make it shine despite that pretty much being impossible.

“Kamala…” G’iah at least called her by her real name.  “...take a break. This cell isn’t going to look any nicer.”

Kamala felt a warm feeling flow through her as G'iah spoke. She wasn't exactly a kind mistress, but she was fair and warmer than Becky for sure. "T-thank you, mommy. Please don't sell me to Sylvie." She then hurried to her feet and took off running down the hall, deciding she would look for Carol again. Hopefully she could find her this time.

————————————————————— 

Carol Danvers kneeled. The once mighty Captain Marvel looked like she’d seen better days. Her face was caked in truly gaudy levels of contraband make-up that made her look like a whore – which made sense given how many times she’d been sold out, her hair was messily cut and braided from the girls playing with her like a doll, and even her jumpsuit was in tatters - replaced by some bikini cut out of her old uniform. She was bruised, beaten, and scarred from physical violence. 

What was harder than what she’d endured though was finding the willpower to push everyone away. Carol couldn’t have Monica or Kamala getting themself anywhere near her if it would put them in danger (which it certainly would). Carol figured them even associating with her seemed like a terrible idea in the current climate. 

Valkyrie was one of the hardest to not reach out to, but Carol had told herself that involving Valkyrie in the mess she found herself in would be inviting an inevitable disaster upon the Asgardians as a whole. She knew the type of person Valkyrie was – how she would do anything for her – and that she would either convince Sylvie to drag the Asgardians into a gang war, or fail to convince Sylvie and likely betray her for leadership so that she may lead the Asgardians into a feud herself. Either way things would end in a gang war. 

It was heartbreaking having no one, but Carol told herself that this was what was best for everyone she cared about. Plus, despite how broken she looked, despite all she’d been through in these last cruel two months, a flame of defiance still burned within the cosmic hero. 

She’d been spat on, assaulted, and humiliated but still she refused to accept defeat and plead for whatever awful things awaited her on a daily basis to stop. She wouldn’t give her tormentors that satisfaction. It was the last bit of power she still held. 

She didn’t know how she would get her revenge on Nebula and all of the others, but the thought of beating them into bleeding messes was the only thing that kept her sane through assault after assault. It was her promise to herself that despite all of the horrors she’d been subjected to, she wouldn’t be a broken bitch like Wanda. She was aware it could be months…or even years…before she had a chance at revenge but in that moment she would maintain the strength to take it.

But that moment was far away as the fallen hero currently found her makeup slathered face being dunked inside a dirty old toilet, a Kree woman smiling at the sight of her thrashing around, while another delivered hard smacks to the bitch's bottom.

Typhoid Mary watched from the sidelines, thoroughly enjoying the show. "Keep her in there a little longer. I want her to think she's gonna pass out."

Carol managed to remember to breathe in deep and then hold her breath before being submerged face-first, but even that did little to help her for long. Her lungs burned for fresh oxygen. She fought to lift her head, struggling for air, but was unable to escape the hold the Kree woman had on her. It stung to know that, if not for the power-suppressant collar around her neck, she easily could have overpowered her abuser. What stung even more though was the fifth spank delivered to her already ruby-red rear which forced Carol to gasp, toilet-water quickly flowing into her open mouth. 

A subsequent sixth spank quickly found itself turning Carol's rear even redder, bringing a wide, sadistic smile to Mary's face. Once she saw the fight in Carol begin to die, she gave the Kree a nod, and the one keeping her submerged finally yanked her head out. Face dripping and blonde hair a wet mass of clumps, Carol spat out the nasty water in her mouth and greedily gulped as much air as she could get. It seemed like she couldn’t get enough oxygen at the moment. 

“Is that all you’ve got?” Carol antagonised despite obviously not doing well. 

Mary scoffed but maintained her smile as she took a puff of her cigarette, gesturing for the Kree to shove her back in. They did, and kept Carol submerged for a similarly long time, only pulling her out when she was on the verge of passing out. "Such a feisty little whore. When are we gonna break that?" Mary taunted. 

“Maybe when…you stop…painting half your face like a clown.” Carol replied through gasps. She was seeing spots from the repeated inability to breathe and yet she still kept pushing. 

The Kree women prepared to resume their torture session, only for Mary to hold her hand up, indicating they should wait. Mary then slowly sauntered over to Carol, crouching down and locking eyes with the dazed woman. "How's the asshole, asshole?" She then took a long drag of her cigarette to really drive the point home.

Carol didn’t have a quippy response for that. The truth was that the pain only semi-recently dulled to a point where it wasn’t unbearable. On Carol’s first day as the prison’s #1 favorite bitch, Typhoid Mary had let the cigarette burn her pucker tender. Carol still remembered how it felt like she’d been sodomised by a red hot poker. Her reaction to the sterilization of the wound wasn’t her proudest moment, nor were the ways she dealt with the after effects that rendered sitting near agonising for weeks. Before her bikini had been made, she’d stopped wearing underwear entirely because the rough material the prison used rubbed against the injury. Just seeing cigarettes made her tense up nowadays. 

Mary blew smoke in Carol's face, chuckling at her silence. "Say something before I use the rest of your body as an ashtray..."

Carol instinctively moved her head out of the way as much as she could, experiencing a fleeting fear that Mary had been moving to put the cigarette out on her face. “You talk too much.” 

The Kree with a hand on Carol's ass gave it another smack, getting tired of waiting. "Let's actually drown her this time! You know she deserves it!"

Carol grit her teeth. She recognised the Kree woman – though she didn’t know her name. They’d fought against each other before. A fight which the Kree woman would have perished in when her ship went down if Carol hadn’t chosen to rescue her from the wreckage and left to be dealt with in an intergalactic court of law. “Yeah I guess you're right, this is what I deserve for saving your life after you tried to kill me.”

Mary smiled at Carol's response, still as amused as ever by this woman's resolve. The Kree spanked her again, growling and staring daggers at Carol as she replied: "You should have let me die! Anything would be better than rotting inside this prison! You have no idea how bad things were before I got to this position!"

Mary casually moved the cigarette closer to Carol's face, having picked up on her fears and decided she would make them worse. "Can you do anything right, slave?"

Carol shut her eye and then reopened it in an effort to try to not look as nervous as she actually was. Whether brave or stupid, she replied: “Just do whatever sick things you want to do to me and shut up already.”

Mary nodded, having expected an answer like that. So she decided to give the woman her wish. She pushed the cigarette directly in front of Carol's only good eye... then pulled it away and took a final drag before snuffing it out on her own arm. She let out what was unmistakably a moan, then grabbed a towel she'd been keeping nearby and tossed it at Carol.

"Dry off a bit. I'm wet enough already." She then got to work stripping out of her jumpsuit, eager to feel Carol's well used tongue in her snatch.

The two Kree women abruptly let Carol go, causing her to lose balance and hit her forehead against the hard metal bowl of the toilet. But, compared to Mary taking a cigarette to her eye, she didn’t mind. Staying on her knees, she fumbled for the towel to dry her face off…then rubbed the inside of her mouth with it for good measure. 

Mary stepped out of her wet panties and balled them up, waiting for Carol to be done cleaning her mouth, before shoving the underwear into her victim's mouth. "Your appetizer." She then stood back against the wall, and waited for Carol to do her thing.

Carol gagged at the taste of Mary’s very unwashed underwear. They tasted exactly like she’d expected from someone who looked like they’d yet to take a shower in two weeks. She spit it out and bitterly, yet obediently, crawled over to Mary and nestled her face between the woman’s spread-out thighs. 

Mary sighed happily as she reached down and began to stroke Carol's hair rather sweetly. It was strange. The Kree women just watched with wicked grins, loving the sight of their enemy on her knees before Mary. "Tell me, Butt Brand. Did you ever think this would be your life? Even when you first arrived at the Raft? That you'd someday become a piece of property? A sex toy?"

While Carol didn’t respond at first, too busy licking Mary’s clit, the deranged woman taking a handful of her hair and tugging so hard that it felt like it would be ripped out of her scalp made her talk. “No.” She replied flatly. Then she couldn’t stop herself from adding: “Did you think you’d end up doing life in prison? Or have to use a living sex toy just to forget that you’re going to die alone here?” It was like she wanted to lose her other eye. 

Mary tightened her grip on Carol's hair and yanked as hard as she could. She actually did tear a few hairs out this time, letting them drop to the floor next to her. "Figured it was a possibility. Prison has its perks. Present company included." She then shoved Carol's face against her pussy, hoping that would shut her up. She cared more about the defiance than the words.

This wasn’t Carol’s first time being used for this by Mary, so she knew a little trick that tended to get her off faster. Tongue messily stroking up and down the redhead’s womanhood, she bit down on Mary’s pussy lips. Not with enough force to draw blood, but it still hurt quite a bit. 

Mary cried out in pain, cringing and biting her lip as the Kree women got ready to pull Carol off of her... but they backed off when Mary began to laugh and moan. She was getting closer and closer, Carol's previous water torture having edged her quite a bit. "Yes... keep going..."

Going all in on trying to make Mary cum, Carol bit just a little harder and ate her out with a passion. Her tongue danced between her folds, tasting her juices the deeper she went into the act. With every lick, every suck, and every bit of pressure her teeth put down, she found Typhoid Mary's sweetest spots. It was at least a little cathartic for Carol that she got to hurt her tormentor. 

Just when Mary was about to explode all over Carol's face, a guard approached the cell and shouted: "Danvers! You're on janitor duty! You have five seconds to leave this cell, or you'll be using your tongue to clean the bathrooms next..." 

Mary frowned, giving the guard a glare, but she knew better than to argue.

“I thought that was the witch’s job?” Carol questioned, pulling away from Mary’s crotch as fast as possible and approaching the bars only to be shoved against them by one of the Kree women. She’d seen enough toilets for the day and, even if it was a welcome escape from pleasuring arguably one of the prison’s most insane convicts, she didn’t really want to start scrubbing down a bathroom. 

"Change of plans today.” The guard opened the bars and grabbed Carol by the arm, roughly yanking her out of the cell and marching her down the hall. Mary gave a little wave as Carol left, then turned to the Kree women.

"Well I'm not finishing myself off. You two have my full permission to be as rough with me as you want." The Kree turned to each other and smiled, then began slowly walking toward Typhoid Mary, who closed her eyes and let timid Mary Walker take the reins.

Mary gasped at the sight of the Kree, looking around frantically as they reached down to grab her. "Wait! How did I get here? I don't even know what I did! HELP!" 

————————————————————— 

Kamala only had a couple places she felt remotely happy in at prison. Nowhere quite felt like home, but in the courtyard, she could at least admire the sky. Unfortunately, her staring at the pleasantly cloudless sky was cut short, her attention quickly being drawn to Julia Cornwall, who was against a wall, pleading with Scorpia, slowly walking towards her. "P-Please. I just got a break from Olivia!"

“Plead all you want, big tits. You already know how this is gonna go…” Scorpia needed a direction to vent her frustration and Julia was a natural punching bag. Julia was lucky she wasn’t getting a turn with the whole Sinister Six like Mary Jane Watson had. 

Julia shook her head furiously, putting her hands up in surrender, but not before pushing up her glasses with her finger like a total dork. Kamala just sighed as she watched. It seemed as though Julia was getting assaulted every second of every day. She couldn't imagine living like that, and if she wanted to keep things that way, she knew she couldn't get involved. 

"Please just be gentle! I'm already so sore everywhere!" Julia pleaded.

Scorpia came in so close that her lips touched Julia’s cheeks. Her breath was hot. Her grip on Julia so tight that her nails dug into her wrists. “Mmmm I’m always gentle aren’t I?” Her tongue ran down Julia’s face. Julia whimpered loudly, closing her eyes and trying to ignore the reality of the situation. One might think she'd have grown used to how this worked by now, but she always felt just as terrified as the first time.

Kamala felt herself about to stand up. About to get to her feet, march over to Scorpia, and tell her to leave Julia alone... but she never did. She just sat there and watched.

Scorpia’s tongue trailed towards Julia’s lips where she forced her into an impromptu make-out session. Some small relief was found when Scorpia at least let go of her wrists…and then that relief dissipated when she began fondling Julia’s incredibly well-endowed breasts.

Kamala was pleasantly surprised by how much she'd be able to hide her own boob size. She was actually very lucky in that department, having bigger breasts than you would expect from someone like her. She'd seen how much of a target Julia’s tits had made her, and she was thankful everyday she didn't have people commenting on it all the time. Her ass on the other hand. That drew some attention. Case in point, at that very moment, she felt a hand graze against her butt…

Kamala gasped loudly, staring straight ahead for a second and bracing herself for the worst... but when nothing happened, she quickly whipped around to see a woman running off in the opposite direction. "Hey! What'd you do to my butt?" She wasn't quite sure why she asked that.

The woman was Monica Rambeau, making a long overdue reappearance in the series, having been released from the infirmary a day after Carol and busy dealing with her own drama in the Raft. “Sorry! So sorry.” She quickly apologised, slightly nervous at who’d she’d accidentally touched before calming when she saw the farthest thing from a threatening convict. 

Kamala felt nervous as the woman stopped and stared, unsure quite what this person was thinking. She'd normally assume the worst, but that apology had sounded genuine. "It's... it's okay..."

Monica considered just leaving it at that, but truthfully she wasn’t looking forward to going back to the person she’d been rushing towards. She already knew they would have some form of sexual degradation in mind for her and buying herself just a few minutes of conversing with someone who didn't want to stick something up at least one of her holes was a nice change of pace. “The name’s Monica.” Although seemingly on edge, she extended her hand out to greet the stranger. 

Against her usual judgements in prison, Kamala decided to trust this total stranger. If she was nice, it would be totally worth it. If not, what could be worse than her current situation? Well, lots of things... but... she shook her hand anyway. "Kamala"

“Nice to meet you, Kamala. Sorry again about touching your butt.” It was a weird thing to say but honestly in her current environment it felt like it needed stating. She knew all too well what it was like to have her rear groped by some stranger.

Kamala smiled sweetly at the woman, hoping to show how much she genuinely appreciated those words. "Thank you. Nobody ever apologises here. It's... it's nice to hear that again." Prison life had been many things, and lonely was a big one. Maybe she'd finally have a friend? One who wouldn't abandon her... like Carol did.

“I-I can understand that…” Monica took a quick glance across the yard, at her fearsome prison mommy currently sitting at one of the benches laughing alongside a few equally intimidating people. She hadn’t made it a day out of the infirmary before she was claimed. No surprise, Carol had pretty much ghosted her. She knew she’d been claimed too, but still…

Kamala followed her eyeline over to the women, shivering and then turning back to Monica with a look of pity. "So you got claimed too, huh?" What a messed up place this was. If Kamala could, she'd free every single bitch in here, and teach their mommies an important lesson on consent... but that didn't seem likely.

“Yeah…”  Monica’s train of thought briefly shifted to some extremely unpleasant memories.  “Who do you belong to?”

Kamala winced at Monica's wording, though it was at least a little bit better than being asked who her owner was. "G'iah... she's not terrible. Not all the time. Which one of those scary looking women is yours? Or... the other way around..."

Monica seemed to recognise the name but didn’t say much of it. “Dar-Benn, some Kree extremist with a Captain Marvel punishment fetish.” It seemed that they belonged to two rival alien factions. Well rivals on the outside. In the Raft, Carol had somehow managed to unite a majority of the aliens under one group. 

Kamala bit her lip, immediately wondering if she was one of the many women who had made Carol's life utterly miserable these past couple months. "Well... at least you're not Captain Marvel?" She was always trying to look on the bright side, no matter how hard.

“Yeah…but it’s weird when she makes me act like her…” There were a lot of things about being a bitch that Monica didn’t expect. Sure on her first day in prison she’d learned about giving a handjob from Nebula, but that seemed like the tip of the iceberg in comparison to everything since. 

Kamala blushed very hard at that, piecing together what Monica meant by that. "You mean like... like roleplay?" That single word was difficult for the once sexually inexperienced girl to say.

Monica nodded, feeling awkward about talking about it but unable to stop. “...sometimes she likes having me pretend like I’m being tortured into admitting to things as Carol…” She wasn’t even sure why she was sharing this information, and instantly regretted saying it. “I’m sorry. That’s such an over-share.”

Kamala really didn't like hearing that, and did want to tell Monica that she was indeed oversharing... but she clearly needed to get things out, and Kamala wanted to be there for her. "I-it's okay. We can talk about it... if you want."

“Oh no I’m…I’m good. What about you? You said you belong to G’iah, right?” Monica tried to shift the topic, feeling selfish. Unfortunately there weren’t many things to shift topics too outside of this conversation when they knew so little about each other. 

Kamala nodded shyly, lowering her head. "I was actually kind of excited to be in the same prison as Captain Marvel. We met, she was cool, then everything happened with Nebula and all that...now she won't even look at me."

Monica was all too familiar with what it was like to be ghosted by Carol. Pushing people away was kind of Carol’s after all. “Look, knowing her, it’s probably not personal. She probably is trying to create some distance so you don’t get dragged into having to go through what she’s going through.” 

She only knew that because she reminded herself of it nearly daily. Truthfully, she was upset that Carol had pushed her away again. Especially practically right after Carol apologised for doing it before. But she knew enough, she’d seen enough, of what had become of Carol to know that she wanted to bear the constant pain and humiliation alone. 

Kamala’s face fell further. It wasn't as bad as Carol not wanting anything to do with her, but it still stung. "But what if I want to help her? And if I wind up like her, then fine. It's the least I can do for my hero." She didn't necessarily think it would be fine if she ended up like that, but she knew it sounded noble.

Monica had never met a bigger Captain Marvel fangirl. The girl’s willingness to do anything for her hero was oddly endearing but also bound to get her hurt in the world they resided in. “Maybe the best thing you can do to help her is to give her the peace of mind that you’re not being abused as much as she is? At least for now.”

Kamala didn't like that answer. Not one bit... but she was still pretty new to prison, and the idea of being in Carol's position truly did scare her. "Maybe... but if I'm gonna spend the next thirty years here, I'm gonna need some friends."

Monica was just about to say something in response when she stopped and turned, followed by a gasp of horror from Kamala. Monica had got so caught up in her conversation with Kamala she’d completely missed Dar-Benn approaching from across the yard and now the alien looked terrifying as she confidently strode over then slammed her hands on the table and flashed an eerie smile. "Who's the girl?"

Explaining who Kamala was wasn’t an option, especially not the part about her being a Captain Marvel fangirl – that would have been a recipe for disaster. Monica also couldn't say anything about her being someone she’d had a rather pleasant conversation with, or else Dar-Benn may simply decide that it was time to put an end to any momentary happiness Monixa may have found with someone.

“I don’t know. Just some bitch who bumped into me.” Monica said in an effort to help the young superhero. She could only hope that Kamala understood what she was doing. 

Thankfully, Kamala did understand... deep down, but that didn't mean those words didn't sting. She looked up at Monica with sad eyes, then at Dar-Benn with fear before taking off running.

Dar-Benn scoffed in amusement, then shot Monica a glare. "Well I see a bitch who's in need of some punishment."

Monica hung her head low and submitted freely. At least she’d successfully spared Kamala. “Whatever you think I deserve…”

————————————————————— 

Carol Danvers was really not looking forward to scrubbing down a bathroom. She’d seen what the communal bathrooms were like in the Raft (and the amount of people that had sex in the stalls) and she had absolutely no desire to both spend her day licking up cum and now mopping it up too. She preferred the limited privacy of using the toilet in her cell in full view of her cellmate over having to enter anywhere where she was most certainly in contact with some stranger’s bodily fluids. 

But once Carol had been harshly dragged toward the bathrooms and roughly thrown inside, the first thing she noticed was the lack of a mop or any sort of cleaning products. Was she being taken somewhere quiet so she could be shivved? Captain Marvel, killed in a bathroom. That sounded about right to her given her recent luck.

Any moment now she expected someone to enter with a blade in hand. That was until Valkyrie finally entered, concerned as she looked her friend up and down. "Hey, Marv..."

“Valk…I…” Carol didn’t know what to say. She just looked surprised as a series of conflicting thoughts and emotions swelled inside her, equal parts despair and glee. Humiliation at her state and relief at seeing one of the people she cared about most.  She stood there for a long moment, creating an unusual image of this tough blonde heroine dressed in an orange bikini that barely stayed on her sweat-glistened body, skin covered in cuts and bruises. She hated that Valkyrie was seeing her like this. “...you shouldn’t be anywhere near me.”

And Valkyrie hated to see her like this, her once strong and powerful friend brought so low. It was hard to witness (though not so hard that she didn’t noticeably take a moment to stare at the woman's nearly-exposed breasts). Carol's words actually got her a little mad. Valkyrie was sick of being pushed away and just because Carol looked like the poster-girl of prison prostitution didn’t mean Valkyrie was just going to turn a blind eye to her being passed around. The two months of respecting Carol’s desire for space was more than enough.  

Carol thought of simply walking out but Valkyrie was body-blocking the door. Flashing wildly through emotions, her overjoy at seeing her friend took prominence and she had to admit that Valkyrie had a really solid strategy. “Pretty smart cornering me in a room where there’s only one exit. Was making sure I can’t leave unless I literally push you away intentional, or just a really fitting accidental analogy?”

Valkyrie smirked, missing her friend's snarkiness. She took a step forward, but made sure she could still keep Carol from leaving if she wanted to. "Let's say it was intentional. I have something of a reputation to uphold in here. Can't have people knowing I make things up as I go."

“Yeah…just look at what a dip in respect in this place will get you.” Carol gestured to herself, wincing slightly due to the strained tendon (a painful ache from the previous day when Proxima Midnight had been holding her arm behind her back in threat of breaking it). 

Valkyrie's smirk was overtaken by a look of pure sympathy. She took a couple more steps closer, wanting to reach out and take her hand. But she didn't do that. Just in case physical touch freaked Carol out now.

"How are you?" The question sounded incredibly dumb on the surface, but Valkyrie meant it in a much deeper way than that. She wanted to know if that spark was still there.

Carol’s eye cast downward to the ground, a sense of awkwardness returning. She didn’t even know how to begin to comprehend her own downfall. Not really. Sure words could easily express that she’d gone from a galactic hero to someone every criminal from Berhert to Xandar had a turn with, but nothing truly conveyed the depth of her own rage and revulsion at what she’d become. At what Nebula had made her become. She was little more than a Contraxian Love Bot. 

“I’m alive.” She said, not knowing what else there possibly was to say about her current state of being. 

Valkyrie walked up to the woman, moving her hands closer in an offer for Carol to take them, but she wouldn't force it. Carol accepted the offer at once, taking Valkyrie’s hands in hers sooner than she could even think. She just wanted to feel the touch of someone who had no intention of violating her. 

Valkyrie actually felt a burst of energy shoot through her at Carol's touch. She'd been with several women in her years here, but none of them had given her a feeling like that. "You're alive, and that's enough. I will find a way to help you, Carol. This isn't the end for you. This is not how you'll spend the rest of your life. There will be a day when you have power again, and we'll make everyone who's ever had a turn with you pay. You have my word."

Carol shed a tear at Valkyrie’s promise, having nearly forgotten what it was like to have someone care about her. And then one tear became two, and soon enough she allowed herself to cry because she was, in this moment, safe. With Valkyrie she was safe. Crying wasn’t a weakness she could afford at the whims of her traitorous gang because it was an admission of defeat, but now the tears she held back seemed to flow and she wrapped Valkyrie in a hug. 

Valkyrie immediately returned the hug, holding her friend tightly. The crying only made her angry. Valkyrie would have killed Nebula if she were here right now, and if it wouldn't put a massive target on her head. "Everyone who's done this to you will suffer. I promise you that."

Carol lingered in Valkyrie’s grasp for what felt like forever, comforted by every millisecond she was in her presence. But as her tears gradually ceased, her rage returned. She wanted nothing more than to kill Nebula. Typhoid Mary and Proxima Midnight too. And listening to Valkyrie’s vow of retribution, Carol thought that it was just so Valkyrie.

“I’ve missed you…” She said hoarsely. 

Valkyrie allowed herself a small smirk, happy to see Carol's fury return somewhat. She'd missed that. She'd missed her. "I've missed you as well." Then, like so many times before, Valkyrie leaned in for a kiss... before pulling back, thinking better of it. She couldn't, especially not under these circumstances.

But damn the circumstances, Carol couldn’t restrain herself any longer. For years they’d been in a state of limbo, always waiting for the other to make the first move. Her time as Nebula’s bitch made their connection feel more distant than it ever had been before. A blinding passion overwhelmed her, filling her with a sense of purpose for a single act that she didn’t even want to think about first. She kissed Valkyrie with years of unspoken love behind the pressing of her lips against her beloved warrior’s. 

Valkyrie's eyes briefly widened in surprise, stomach jumping and skin lighting up with excitement. She couldn't express the relief and joy she felt at finally getting that kiss with words, so she just focused on kissing her back. She wanted so badly to slam Carol against the wall, rip off her clothes, and go to town on the beautiful blonde... but she restrained herself. She didn't want to freak the abused woman out.

But the abused woman didn’t seem to have half as much restraint as she became the one to do everything Valkyrie wanted to do with her, roughly pushing her against the wall and then absolutely tearing her out of her jumpsuit. It wasn’t until Valkyrie’s jumpsuit was down over her brown shoulders that Carol really understood what she was doing and quietly asked: “You want this too, right?”

Valkyrie groaned into the kiss as she was pushed, eyes going wide as she found herself standing there nearly topless. She stared into Carol's brown eyes as she didn't even hesitate to answer with a low, half-whispered "yes."

That was all Carol needed to hear and so, acting more out of a primal lust than any thought out process, she pushed open the jumpsuit until the cheap cloth settled around Valkyrie's hips. 

The two women fit together like a jigsaw, moving in a messy fashion, Carol slipped her tongue into the kiss and earned a low moan. Pulling herself closer to Valkyrie, feeling her hardened nipples against her body, she gasped and broke the kiss. But before Valkyrie could say anything, Carol had already spun her around so she was now pressing her against the wall. Carol leaned in, leaving small love marks along Valkyrie’s neck. 

The pure passion from Carol felt amazing, as did allowing herself to be under someone else's control in a way that wasn't manipulative. She genuinely trusted her friend. She moaned softly, turning her head to flash a cocky grin Carol's way before shutting her eyes and continuing to show her enjoyment through little noises of pleasure.

The sweet little sounds Valkyrie made caused the months of threats and violent moans Carol had been put through seem so distant. She slipped Valkyrie’s jumpsuit off entirely, leaving the Asgardian in nothing but her panties. She then proceeded to leave a trail of kisses down Valkyrie’s back, curling her arms around her body, and grasping her breasts. 

Valkyrie smiled as she was stripped, a sound of pure lust escaping her lips as her breasts were grabbed. She shoved her ass back into Carol's crotch, wanting to tease the woman a little. She then decided to give Carol a treat, one she hoped would help her with her clear depression. "You have my permission to use me in any way you want." She trusted Carol wouldn't do anything too extreme.

“Really? Any way?” Carol’s tone conveyed her perking up a bit even if it wasn’t much. She hadn’t been able to take charge of anything after Jean took out her eye in the mines. 

Valkyrie smiled faintly at that, very much enjoying that tone. Carol sounded more like herself again, and the former king of Asgard couldn't have been happier. "Any way you want, Marv..."

“Thank you…” Carol looked down at Valkyrie’s perfect ass that the warrior had teased her with moments ago and an idea crossed her mind. “Can you get on all four?”

Valkyrie blushed at the question, briefly getting embarrassed before remembering this was Carol. She felt bad for thinking this, but after everything the blonde had been through, she had no room to judge. So the woman got on all fours as she was asked, eagerly anticipating the fun to come.

Behind her, Carol fumbled to get undressed. She was clumsy, almost over-excited. Her head was racing with a thousand thoughts in awe of Valkyrie's body or disbelief that this was actually happening. That they were happening. 

Standing naked in the cold bathroom, Carol got on her knees and leaned her warm body against Valkyrie’s back, her erect nipples hardened against her skin. She kissed the Asgardian again, this time in gratitude, and then her right hand gripped Valkyrie’s buttcheek and squeezed. 

Valkyrie's smile only seemed to grow as Carol got more confident and handsy. The feeling of her nipples sent chills throughout her body, and the way she so roughly groped her ass was thrilling. "There's the Carol I know..." She knew she was still in there. That she hadn't been snuffed out.

Carol delivered a spank to Valkyrie’s rear, harsh yet restrained. Honestly, she’d delivered far harsher spanks to unruly bitches when she was the one calling the shots. But, despite that fact, she asked: “That wasn’t too hard, was it?”

Valkyrie moaned at the spank, biting her lip and grinning... before the question brought her back to reality. "N-no, Carol. It's fine. Keep going." She understood why she asked though. Clear consent was even more important given everything that went on in the Raft, and Carol had always been a little socially awkward, no matter how much she tried to hide it.

“Ok cool,” Carol said somewhat awkwardly with a grin before delivering a significantly harsher spank. The sound of which surely could be heard to anyone passing by. 

Valkyrie let out a small chuckle at that, then groaned loudly and looked around with a blush. She couldn't tell if someone discovering them would be incredibly hot or just plain humiliating. She'd always had a little bit of an exhibitionist side... but didn't want the forced ass reamings that would likely take place if anyone learned she was subbing to Carol of all people. "Now that's more like it."

Personally, Carol wouldn’t have cared if anyone caught them (it wasn’t as if anyone was ever shy about what they got up to in prison) if not for the fact that she didn’t want Valkyrie to suffer the consequences of associating with her. But, for now, it seemed they were in the clear. 

Slapping Valkyrie’s butt tender, Carol started to feel like she was steadily hitting her stride again. Her spanks were now firm and quick, painful blows that seemed to elicit pure euphoria out of her partner. And, when Valkyrie wasn’t too into it to say anything, she encouraged her to go harder.  Carol lost count of ten number of blows somewhere past a dozen. When she raised her hand it seemed as if she’d do another, but instead two of her fingers found somewhere else to touch; the pucker of Valkyrie’s rectum. 

Valkyrie's breath hitched in her throat as she felt the fingers, eyes going wide as she tensed up and bit her lip. "Do it. Shove them in."

Looking at the woman bent over before her, Carol was in awe. She was beautiful. Her warrior’s body magnificent. There was dark lust in her eyes. A smile on her lips. Carol felt butterflies in her belly that were more than just excitement about what they were about to do. She resolved to concentrate on the sex rather than her feelings.

Carol got the her fingers lined up and rammed them in with force reminiscent of the countless times both women had been strip-searched by the guards. 

Valkyrie cried out in pain as her asshole was entered, but she absolutely enjoyed it, biting her lip and moaning at the anal invasion. She wasn't too worried about things. As long as nobody discovered this new wrinkle to their relationship, everything would be fine. Her only concern was whether Carol would want to turn their friendship into something more, once their encounter was over.

Carol started thrusting, a few slow strokes to start. But soon she was pushing in and out hard and fast. Her thoughts began to drift towards what this meant for her and Valkyrie’s friendship but she pushed those thoughts aside along with the other irrelevant ones. 

Valkyrie began to thrust back, slamming Carol's fingers in even faster and deeper. She very much hoped this would only be the beginning for them, and grabbed ahold of Carol's free hand before giving it a squeeze.

Carol was surprised but quickly, lovingly, squeezed Valkyrie’s hand back while still aggressively anally fingering her. ​​It wasn't long before Valkyrie began to get close to cumming, but knew she needed one final push. Through ragged breaths, she forced out a "harder... just a little harder," before shutting her eyes and flashing back to various memories of Carol's naked body in prison... trying to focus only on the shower ones. Less trauma there.

The mental images came easily, flashes of Carol’s finely toned, soaped up body – already quite muscular but truly defined from hitting the prison gym so frequently – underneath the showerhead. They’d shared glances countless times, both having averted their eyes at one point or another in avoidance of the other catching their lingering eyes. 

“Harder. Got it.” Carol said, sending her fingers deeper, further, faster. To the point that she couldn’t have gone in any more. 

Valkyrie finally erupted, trying to stay as quiet as possible, but still letting out noises of orgasmic pleasure as she enjoyed the feelings flowing through her. She then slumped down and looked up at Carol warmly, the smile being a rare show of genuine affection from the otherwise tough and stoic warrior. "How have we never done that before, Marv?"

“I don’t know. We should have done it years ago.” Carol replied, contentedly laying beside the worn-out Valkyrie with her arm draped over her chest. 

Valkyrie continued to smile as she reached over and began brushing Carol's messy, chopped up hair affectionately, as if it were perfect just the way it was. "Well maybe we could start making up for lost time?"

As much as Carol wanted that, she knew that maintaining a relationship of any kind was impossible in her current state. Nebula would never agree to allowing her trophy any semblance of happiness. It was a miracle that what had just happened hadn’t been interrupted. “I would like that...but how would we even work? I…Nebula is going to notice eventually.”

Valkyrie didn't care about the details, too wrapped up in wanting to keep Carol happy... and to be happy herself. "It'll work. I dated Sif and Jane at the same time for two years, and it took them a long time to find out." She wasn't super proud of that, but her point remained. 

“Two years?” Carol looked at her, oddly impressed. It probably wasn’t great to hear that the woman she was into was phenomenal at cheating but she didn’t care. 

Valkyrie nodded, at least proud of her secret keeping skills... though she quickly regretted telling Carol. "To be clear, I would have dumped them for you in a heartbeat had you said the word." She then took Carol's hands in hers. "I'll keep you safe, Marv. Nebula won't find out." She knew deep down she couldn't guarantee that, but she was determined to keep that promise to the best of her ability. For love, as cheesy as it sounds…

“I want that to be true, I really do…but you can’t guarantee that.” Carol wouldn’t have felt right letting Valkyrie risk her own safety for her. But there may have been one solution…

“You could pay to use me.”

Valkyrie seemed to consider that for a moment. There were parts she didn't like... but she knew it was the best way to keep seeing each other. "I don't like it, but I suppose it's not a terrible idea."

“I should probably apologise in advance for the price.” Carol smiled faintly, finding the fact that her maybe girlfriend would have to pay to go on dates with her a little funny in an awful sort of way. 

Valkyrie scoffed and rolled her eyes as she returned the smile. "Well I apologize for the lack of good options for these... dates, if you can call them that."

“Wait, is a public bathroom not the optimal place to go on a date?” Carol asked sarcastically. 

Valkyrie let out a genuine chuckle at that, having forgotten how funny Carol could be when she wanted to. "Depends on what kind of date you're looking for. I've had some pretty fun encounters in public bathrooms... but this one's my favorite..."

“It wasn’t bad. Definitely somewhere in the top three for me.” Carol wouldn’t be in half as much of a joking mood when she got back to her cell, but for now (while she was with Valkyrie) she was in high spirits. 

Valkyrie chuckled again, softer this time as she gave Carol a nod. She wished she could just lay here forever. "Well I'm honored." But she knew reality would come crashing back down soon enough, and she wanted Carol to have some encouragement. "I'll find a way to get you away from Nebula.

Carol didn’t know how to begin to express the gratitude she felt to Valkyrie for reminding her why she still resisted breaking despite everything she’d been through, but she could try. 

“Thank you for this, Val. I really wish I knew how to tell you just how much this meant, but I just want you to know that it was everything to me.”

Valkyrie smiled warmly, reaching up and gently caressing Carol's face. "Well it's only the beginning. This is the happiest I've been in awhile, if I'm being honest..."

The same was true for Carol, who found herself the happiest that she'd been since landing in prison. She nestled her forehead against Valkyrie’s and then went in for another kiss. Valkyrie happily accepted the kiss, wrapping her arms around Carol's shoulders and pulling her into a loving embrace.

————————————————————— 

Monica Rambeau didn’t regret covering for Kamala one bit, but she’d have preferred to have helped the new girl and avoid throwing herself at Dar-Benn's mercy. Because she found herself in one of the forced roleplay sessions (aka revenge fantasies) that the Kree extremist loved playing out so much. This time it involved Monica with her limbs spread out and tied to the metal posts of the bottom bunk playing, as per usual, the role of a captured and defeated Carol Danvers. 

The funny thing was, she hadn’t even told Dar-Benn about her close connection with Carol (fearing the violent reaction that information may spark). It just seemed that the alien could only get off if she was getting revenge on Captain Marvel. 

"At last. The Annihilator is where she belongs. In custody..." Dar-Benn delivered a hard smack to Monica's thick buns, looking down at her 'captive' with a sneer. "But what to do with a bitch like you? Execution is far too pleasant a fate. As is simple life in prison. No... I believe a life of torment and misery is in order as a Kree torture slave."

“You can’t do this to me! I’m Captain Marvel! I’ll do anything, just don’t enslave me!”

Dar-Benn liked Monica to play Carol as a snivelling coward who only was cocky when she had the upper hand. The whole characterisation made Monica want to roll her eyes out of her skull. She quietly wondered at what point the power fantasy would be enough for Dar-Benn. She knew the accuser had gotten her revenge on the real Carol several times over, part of Nebula gaining the woman’s loyalty was letting her do as she wished with Carol. And yet she needed to play it out with Monica in their cell too. She theorised it was a form of rehearsal on what Dar-Benn would do next time she saw Carol…or there was no reason and Dar-Benn just really needed to see a therapist. 

Dar-Benn smiled wide at the woman's words, leaning in close and basically hissing in her ear. "And the great Captain Marvel reveals her true self, the pathetic bitch underneath that cocky facade." She then reached down and groped her ass... something that was totally just a part of the power fantasy and nothing more. "I'm sure you'll do anything, and yet you'll be enslaved anyway. How does it feel, Annihilator? Knowing you'll spend the rest of your days as my servant?"

Monica’s skin crawled at the sensation of Dar-Benn’s advances. “T-That won’t happen. I-I will escape and I’ll defeat you…” The quiver in her voice was very real.

Dar-Benn frowned and spanked Monica hard. "Is that any way to speak to your new mistress?! That was both part of the roleplay and a warning that Monica should act more submissive. "Tell me, Annihilator... what are your most embarrassing secrets?"

Monica hated when this topic came up. It was a trap built around making her choose the acts she’d be tortured with. She’d previously tried coming up with asinine things, things that couldn't ever possibly be used to hurt her, but Dar-Benn either found a way to twist it or punished her for not giving her enough material to work with.


At this point she just aimed for things that would hopefully yield the least worst results. “...I touch myself after every battle because victories always make me wet…and sometimes just when I’m flying around in space...I used to wear a leotard even though it constantly rode up me, front and back, because it turned me on. I only stopped because I was so busy trying to pick the silk out of by butt that I lost focus and a rescue ship I was supposed to save got blown up.”

Dar-Benn smiled maniacally as she heard those words, her little pet finally giving her something new and interesting to work with. "So let me get this straight. The great Captain Marvel is such a slut that she let her sexual desires result in the deaths of others." She then shoved her hands down the back of Monica's pants and yanked up on her large panties... that still rode up constantly. "Some hero you turned out to be." She then gave the panties a yank.

The cheap prison cotton was unforgiving, violently harsh between Monica’s buttcrack. The cry of pain that she made was very real, but she followed it up with a fake moan to stay in character of the caricature she was regrettably playing. 

“Yes, yes! Stop…please! You’re gonna make me cum…” It dawned in her that she was involuntarily pursuing a career as a porn star. At least prison had given her one skill. 

Dar-Benn chuckled at the overacting, finding it even hotter than the genuine cry just seconds earlier. "Carol Danvers about to cream her panties from something as simple as... what do you Terrans call these? Wedges?"

“Wedgies.”Monica didn’t actually know why she corrected her. 

Dar-Benn chuckled again. "Wedgies. What a stupid name. Imagine being so weak that something called a wedgie puts you in heat." She punctuated her sentence with the hardest pull yet, driving cheap cotton deeper and more painfully into Monica's asscrack. "Tell me more about how these wedgies make you feel."

Monica had no idea what to say, occupied wincing and trying to shift the material loose, but she needed to come up with something fast. “Wet. Really wet. Like…my whole focus is just on how badly I want to rub my crotch against my underwear…because it’s just such a turn on…” She wished she could just wipe her memory of saying that when they were done. 

Dar-Benn's smile threatened to overtake her entire face, as she pulled so hard Monica's fat ass was lifted high into the air. "Then do it. Rub your pitiful pussy on your wedgie. Moan for mommy."

Monica whined, absolutely not wanting to do that at all. But the pain of her underwear being so taut that they were practically fusing to her body was a hell of a motivator.  “Y-Yes, mommy…” She said, more as herself than as Carol, before slowly she began to roll her hips against cotton while wincing. She hoped that the movement would help dislodge her underwear, but it did the opposite. It made it feel like she was about to be cut in half. 

Dar-Benn delivered pull after pull, cramming cotton deeper and deeper inside her personal slave, imagining the real Carol humping her wedgie like a total slut. "Tell me more secrets. What else can I humiliate Captain Marvel with?"

“I once had sex with an alien with tentacles! I’m into tentacles!” Monica exclaimed in what was equal parts agony and a moan. Her pussy felt like it had rugburn as she frantically rubbed herself, legs straining in their bonds to accommodate her riding. 

Dar-Benn scoffed as she gave one final pull to the underwear, then let a screaming Monica go. "Super slut. You're into tentacles? I bet you take pride in how stretched out and well used your holes are, don't you."

“I do! They’re so stretched out.” Monica agreed with an over-enthusiastic nod. 

Dar-Benn laughed, knowing that was probably true for Monica as well as the real Carol at this point. "Well I don't have tentacles..." She said as she reached up toward her bunk, grabbing a strap-on and beginning to put it on. "...so this will have to do, Cunt-ain Marvel."

The phallic shape dangling back and forth as Dar-Benn played with the harness embarrassingly turned Monica on. Deep down, it was the one method of Dar-Benn’s that she actually liked. She was straight…or maybe she was bi? She didn’t know, the overwhelmingly sapphic nature of prison confused things for her. But she did know that, with an indefinite stint in a women’s prison, it would be a really long time before she was anywhere near a man and the silicone dick was always tempting.  

She bit her lip as she anxiously watched, telling herself that she hated this. 

Dar-Benn had no idea Monica didn't absolutely despise getting plowed with the strap-on. If she did, she definitely wouldn't be using it. She lined it up directly with Monica's asshole…

"I bet a slut like you prefers these things without lube." 

...then shoved it deep inside Monica's highest hole. Though it wasn't as tight as it used to be.

Monica sharply exhaled, all the air leaving her lungs at once as the strap-on dove deep into her ass hard and fast. It filled her, rubbing tightly against her inner walls, and Dar-Benn exerted the force needed to ram the unlubricated toy all the way in. 

Dar-Benn groaned with a deep satisfaction as she got so deep into Monica so soon. "Now, Annihilator... your ass will be annihilated." She then began to thrust in and out, making good on her promise as she really tore into the poor prisoner.

“I’m yours!” Monica said, remembering to satisfy Dar-Benn’s fantasy, before shutting her eyes and trying to enjoy what little she could. If she didn’t focus too much she could embrace the act. 

Dar-Benn grinned at those words, slamming the fake phallus deeper and deeper into 'Captain Marvel.' "If you ever get out of here, which you won't... your loosened ass will be a permanent reminder of your time with me. You'll never truly escape this. I'm a part of you now." It was unclear if she was talking to Carol or Monica at this point.

Monica didn’t know and didn't care enough to ask. She just wanted to get off. Her whole body rocked back and forth while she strained against the torn bedsheets which kept her tied down. Every thrust made her melt into Dar-Benn’s violation a little more. Her ebony ass jiggled. She gripped the thin mattress of the bottom bunk out of instinct. 

“I know I won’t escape…” She didn’t want to believe that the rest of her life would be spent as a horny alien’s fuck-doll but in this singular moment it was at least tolerable. She wanted to escape, but so did basically every other inmate. It didn’t mean it was likely to happen. She knew better than most how well equipped SWORD was dealing with supercriminals. 

Dar-Benn continued thrusting and thrusting, pounding into Monica with an increased vigor. "Guess what, slut." She then yanked the strap-on out of her bitch's ass with her usual amount of viciousness. "You're not getting off tonight."

If Monica could have freely moved her hands, she would have reached for the dildo and shoved it back in. But, alas, she was reduced to pleading. “No wait, finish me off!” She then realised how that was an admission of her enjoyment and rephrased it as: “I mean don’t you want to finish punishing me? It was just starting to really hurt…”

Dar-Benn frowned, beginning to put two and two together. She'd initially been playing up the fantasy of 'Captain Marvel' enjoying the penetration... but now? "Monica... were you actually getting off on that?"

“What? No!” Monica hastily insisted, suddenly worried that Dar-Benn would find out and stop using the strap-on on her. “I was just trying to play the role.” Her voice becoming high-pitch didn’t make it convincing. 

Dar-Benn glared, tossing the strap-on across the room and cracking her knuckles. "Beg me not to hurt you, Annihilator. Beg me."

“P-Please don’t hurt me…” Monica pleaded, a hint of annoyance to her tone. She really needed to get off and it seemed that Dar-Benn wasn’t about to let that happen. 

Dar-Benn growled, feeling like an idiot for not realizing Monica had been taking advantage of her sooner. And to think she almost actually got her off. "You are dead, Annihilator. Prepare for your body to be annihilated."

Monica’s panic at what was about to happen was far too strong for her to take an easy shot at Dar-Benn’s cheap play on words. She once again tested the makeshift ropes, looking for escape. Nothing. She was trapped. And Dar-Benn was already pressing her naked body against hers and digging her fingers into her pussy, more clawing at her labia than fingering. 

If she wanted something up her ass so bad, Dar-Benn was happy to provide it. But not in the way that Monica wanted. The Accuser got off her, letting her mind wander on what would happen next. And then Monica felt it and screamed. 

Dar-Benn kicked her foot up her ass and giggled maniacally as Monica cried out and writhed at every slight movement of her toes. This would teach her about mistaking punishment for pleasure. 

“You’re going to break my ass!”

Monica yelled as she turned around as much as she could, panicking at what was being done. Had helping Wanda back in Westview been worth all of this? No. No good deed goes unpunished and she regretted the decision to help the witch more with every passing day. This was her future. The rest of her life would be like this, getting anally penetrated by a Kree fanatic with the lesbian equivalent of a hate boner. She would end up like the naked woman, Mary Walker, who was screaming and crying in the cell across as two blue-skinned women thrashed her around the room and forced her into every position imaginable while humping her body with no care for how she tearfully pleaded for them to stop. 

————————————————————— 

"You cannot be serious. What song could possibly be better than American Pie?" Yelena was pretty annoyed as she found her favorite song being mocked…even if all Kate had done was just say it wasn't her favorite.

“Look, all I’m saying is that I don’t think it’s the best song in my opinion. It’s great in like a dad music kind of way, but it’s not Dangerous by Hailee Steinfeld.” Kate cheerily defended, just happy that Yelena was back from…whatever top secret mission she’d been on. The two of them had basically been inseparable for the last week. 

Yelena gasped, staring at Kate with a horrified, slightly confused expression. "I am not a father. If I listen to a song, it is by definition not dad music." She was very happy to be back with Kate, and was determined to keep her close as much as possible these days... but would defend her favorite song to the end. 

“Well for someone who doesn’t listen to dad music, why do you and Clint basically have the same Spotify account?” Kate wasn’t accurate in her assessment of Clint’s music being the same as Yelena’s. She just pretty much considered basically any form of rock pre-2000 as old and lumped together into one category

Yelena stared in silence for a moment, before dropping her jaw and letting out a very dry chuckle. "You are hilarious, Kate Bishop. So very funny. You make me laugh more than Cassandra getting sold for cigarettes. "She then delivered a hard smack to Kate's rear, before taking her hand and walking her down the corridor.

Kate jumped and then giggled slightly at the spank. There was something pretty exciting about the fact that it had basically happened in public. While yes she opposed the whole bitch system, that didn't mean she didn’t like being Yelena’s subby girlfriend. Plus being apart for those three days earned Yelena at least a month of grace from Kate (and Yelena hadn’t even told her about stopping a human trafficking ring yet). 

“Speaking of Cassie, I was wondering if we could invite her over later. We can play Scrabble again.” That second sentence was meant to be enticing to Yelena. It wasn’t.

Yelena instantly frowned, turning to her subby girlfriend with a sigh. "Am I allowed to say no?" She still really didn't like Cassie. She could tolerate her more than before, but that didn't mean she liked her.

“Yeah you can …but I will make you feel bad about it.” Kate knew how Yelena felt about Cassie (it wasn’t like Yelena exactly hid how she felt), but she really hoped that maybe she’d grow to accept her presence as pretty much Kate’s only friend in prison. “Maybe to make it fair you could invite one of your friends too?”

Yelena thought over this for a moment. She'd definitely gotten close to her fellow Thunderbolts lately... but still wasn't entirely comfortable asking them to play games with her. It sounded childish. "Perhaps... But I cannot promise I won't make Cassie cry. I can promise it will probably be unintentional."

Believe it or not, that was character improvement and Kate knew and appreciated that Yelena was trying for her. “Cool! What are the chances, like 5 to 10%?” That was her very gentle way of asking Yelena to make the probability of hurting Cassie’s feelings as minimal as possible

Yelena bit her lip as she genuinely thought over this question. Realistically she wanted to say 50, but she didn't see that as an option for Kate. Frowning a little to show her frustration with the question, and Cassie's presence in their lives in general, she said "10."

“Ten works. Thank you.” Kate brought her tone down a notch as they passed a freckled redhead, Becky St. Jude, in the hall. Their presence would have been pretty insignificant if not for the fact that they banged into Kate and quickly said:

“Watch where you’re going, bitch.” 

Again, they were the one who banged into Kate.  

Yelena quickly stepped in front of Kate and nudged her backwards, looking down at Becky with a glare. "Can you repeat yourself, please? My girlfriend did not hear you."

Becky stumbled back but hardly was about to back down to the blonde. “What is she deaf or something? I said ‘watch where you’re going, bitch’” She accentuated the pronunciation of every word as if Kate needed to read her lips. 

Yelena smiled, having hoped Becky would actually repeat herself. She turned to Kate with a flirty smile, kissing her on the cheek before cracking her knuckles. "Watch your mommy take care of this bully for you." She hoped to earn even more brownie points with the archer.

Kate was flattered but she interjected before things could escalate. Becky looked pretty harmless. “She’s not even worth the effort, Yelena. I bet she’s all talk. Let’s just let her go.”

Yelena suddenly lunged forward, lifting Becky up in the air like a rag doll as she stared daggers at the girl. "No. She is going to apologize to my girlfriend."

“No way! Now put me down!” Becky exclaimed despite how admittedly terrified she now was of Yelena. 

“See she’s a total wimp.” Kate casually commented from the sideline. 

Yelena scoffed, finding it difficult to comprehend why her girlfriend didn't want her honor defended, especially with someone so obnoxious. So she lowered Becky to the ground and raised an eyebrow at Kate. "Fine. Then you handle her."

Kate approached Becky and, seeing that she was rattled, felt there was no reason to punish her any further. “It’s really not cool to bang into someone and then blame them. Can you just not do that?” 

“I can’t make any promises.” Becky replied, still trying to sound tough. Kate gave her a ‘dude wtf are you doing I’m trying to help you here’ look. 

Yelena glared and clenched her fists, ready to tear this girl a new one. "I am going to hit her now."

“Yelena-” Kate started to try to mediate but Becky cut her off. 

“Try me, NPC. It’s not like your bitch girlfriend is gonna stand up for herself.” In the face of a beating Becky was an actual idiot. Instead of leaving with her tattered dignity, she was tempting fate for a punch to the face. And she received that punch…but not from Yelena. Instead it was Kate who hit her square on the nose. 

Yelena's jaw fully dropped at the sight, turning to Kate with pure pride in her eyes. "Kate Bishop, I had no idea you were capable of this. Not since your superhero days ended." She then grinned as she pulled her foot back, then slammed it hard into Becky's pussy. "You will never so much as look at her again..."

Becky squealed at the kick, pussy ignited in pain, and then frantically nodded, more focused on feeling for if her nose was broken. G’iah had assured her in the past that one day her antics would land her with a broken nose and there was no way the prison would ever pay to give her a nose job. 

Kate was honestly impressed with herself. She knew she had it in her but she hadn’t really won a fight since she first arrived in the Raft. It felt amazing to actually stop a bad guy. “Thanks. But my superhero days aren’t over.” She corrected

Little did the trio know that they had an audience. "That. Was. Awesome!" Kamala Khan had watched this whole thing in awe, realizing this was exactly what she'd needed to see. Bitches standing up for themselves.

“I know, right?!” Kate cockily replied with equal enthusiasm, getting more and more pumped up as the fact that she’d defeated Becky settled in. She didn’t even stop to wonder who the strange girl who’d been watching was. 

Kamala immediately ran over to the archer, causing Yelena to step in front of her, holding out her hand to get her to stop. Kamala didn't notice the hand, slamming into it before falling back onto her ass.

"Don't touch her." Yelena commanded. 

Kate looked at Yelena like she was completely out of her mind and then approached Kamala without caution. “It’s fine, Yelena. She doesn’t really look like a threat.” Kamala looked even less threatening than Becky so she extended a hand to help her up. “You ok?” 

Yelena rolled her eyes at Kate's judgemental look, while a nervous Kamala took Kate's hand and got to her feet. "Y-yes. Thank you. Sorry. Shouldn't have charged at you like that. I'm Kamala."

“I’m Kate. Kate Bishop.” She looked to Yelena to see if she would introduce herself. The skeptical, unwelcoming expression on the spy’s face conveyed that she didn't plan on it. “And she’s Yelena.”

Kamala gasped as she looked back and forth between the girls. "Wait... Kate. Yelena. You're... you're the new Hawkeye and Black Widow! I read so much about you!" Very little true information was online about the two, especially Yelena. Kamala was working off some bad information. Let's hope she didn't bring up Yelena's lingerie empire in Cuba.

Kate’s jaw dropped for a second in pure excitement before she remembered to be cool. She was making herself look like a total dork. “New Hawkeye? You hear that, she called me the new Hawkeye. Yeah I’m the new Hawkeye. You’ve heard about us?” 

Kamala nodded enthusiastically. "I've done so much research. I love superheroes! You two are so cool!"

Yelena sighed. This girl seemed like another Cassie. Not now, but she was certain Kamala would be just as pitiful down the road.

“Well you seem pretty cool too! Are you a superhero?” Kate was happy to be meeting a fangirl who didn’t make it apparent in the first minute that she just wanted to have sex. 

Kamala grinned excitedly. "I am!" Her face then fell as quickly as it had lit up. "I... I mean I was. N-not anymore. Not in here."

Sensing the obvious shift in tone, Kate attempted to lighten Kamala’s spirits. “Well what was your superhero name? Maybe I’ve heard of you.”

Kamala perked up once again, biting her lip and smiling sweetly. She then blurted out, "Ms. Marvel! My name was Ms. Marvel! I mostly fought crime in New Jersey, so you may not have heard of me, but I got pretty popular over there!"

“Wait, I have heard of you! I saw the video of you stopping that robbery with that…light…power…thing. What is that anyway? Like magic or…?” Kate was genuinely interested in talking about superhero stuff with someone. Most of the people in prison, even the heroes, weren’t really interested in talking in-depth about it. Natasha Romanoff, for example, was unsurprisingly pretty quiet on the details of her heroics (not that she didn’t occasionally satiate Kate’s curiosity when asked about certain events, but she had no interest in going on about it)

Kamala opened her mouth to speak, only for Yelena to interrupt with a loud, exaggerated, and very forced yawn. "Yes, well you two will have plenty of time to chat at a later time. Right now, Kate and I have business to attend to." She placed a possessive hand firmly on Kate's ass before giving it a squeeze, hoping to incentivize her girlfriend to get moving.

Kate blushed, turned on by Yelena’s completely unapologetic desire to be horizontal but also a little embarrassed at getting groped in front of Kamala. Or was she just embarrassed by how excited getting her butt squeezed in clear view of someone else made her? That question would have to wait because she was torn on a different matter. 

It seemed rude to cut this conversation short, but the archer really wanted to have sex with Yelena. Which was worse, possibly making Kamala feel bad or blueballing Yelena. Kate 

“So…uh I would love to talk more about this with you later. If you give us like twenty minutes…” Kate quickly looked at Yelena to see if twenty minutes was enough before she continued speaking. 

Yelena gave Kate a nod and squeezed her butt even harder.


Kamala blushed as she began to pick up on what was going on. "O-oh! Oh, uh... Y-yeah. Okay. I... I can wait twenty minutes." She could barely make eye contact as she spoke.

“Thanks. See you then!” Kate smiled sheepishly and then her and Yelena were off, practically racing to their cell. 

Kamala thought back to Kate's punching of Becky. It was everything she'd been envisioning since she first learned about the bitch system here. What if Kate was the key? What if she and Kate became the heroes this prison needed. Saving bitches from humiliation and pain. The gears were already turning in Kamala's head, and the Raft would never be the same…

“Are you just gonna stand there gooning over meeting Hawkeye or are you gonna help me up?” Becky suddenly said, her presence having been forgotten about by everyone. She hadn’t even been unconscious. Everyone had just collectively ignored her groaning in the background.

Kamala was suddenly snapped out of her heroic dreams, looking down at Becky with a blush. "I... I wasn't gooning." She debated just leaving her there on the floor, but decided she wanted to be on her good side right now and extended her hand.

Becky didn’t show her appreciation for the help but she did take Kamala’s hand. “Be honest, did that bitch break my nose?”

Kamala genuinely inspected the wound, cringing and sucking in air as she bit her lip out of... not sympathy. Relief that it wasn't her? "I think she did. It looks... pretty crooked."

Tears welled up in Becky’s eyes and she began to dramatically sob. This was an utter nightmare to the vain bully. “I fuckin’ knew it! Oh my god what am I gonna do?! I cannot have a fucked up nose!”

As little as they got along, Kamala oddly felt really bad for Becky. She felt a need to help her, and not just because it might put her on the redhead's good side. "I can take you to the infirmary if you want. They could definitely help you out."

“Let’s do that…” Becky was terrified enough thanks to what G’iah had told her to actually accept Kamala’s offer. That didn’t mean she trusted her though. “This better not be a trick and you drop me off in Proxima’s cell or some shit.”

Kamala couldn't decide whether she was more horrified or hurt that Becky would think such a thing. "Why would I ever do that to you? I would never put someone through that." She then sweetly took the girl's hand and began walking her in the direction of the infirmary.

Chapter 40: Sylvie Laufeydottir - Breaking the Bitch

Summary:

Sylvie and Valkyrie have fun playing with Becky St. Jude

Chapter Text

"...and I think it would be a great way to get back at the Galaxy Gals. Secretly stealing time with their bitch... and if we sell someone off in some trades, say Jane perhaps, we could have her listen for secrets." Valkyrie quickly realized it would be difficult to hide her romance with Carol from Sylvie, and had worked on quite the sales pitch since parting ways with her new lover. She hoped it worked.

Sylvie stood, tray in hand, ahead of Valkyrie in line awaiting to be served her dinner. Since she refused to turn and look back, it had been fairly hard to read what her impression of Valkyrie’s pitch was. “Well that sounds brilliant…but what aren’t you telling me? I’m the goddess of mischief, Valkyrie. I know when someone is avoiding telling me something…”

Valkyrie tried to steel her face, just in case Sylvie turned. "Fine. Carol and I were friends before prison. We're friends again now. I want to help my friend. Is that a problem?"

“No, of course not.” Sylvie said warmly. It would have been reassuring if it wasn't clear she was about to say something else. “So you had sex with her?”

Valkyrie's mouth opened slightly as she tried to think of a good response, initially hoping to throw Sylvie off the scent, but she knew it was of no use. This woman was smart. "Is it that obvious?"

Sylvie did in fact pride herself as cleverer than the usual brute-force convict. “It is. Although in all fairness, I mostly suspected it because I tried to call upon you to sort out a matter with Amora and you were suspiciously absent.”

Valkyrie nodded, happy that it didn't seem to be a big deal... and just the tiniest bit excited that somebody else knew. But she'd never tell anyone that. She needed to seem tough as nails. She was tough as nails. "It was a long time coming. Can I trust your ability to keep secrets?"

Sylvie turned around and raised her brow at the daring decision to trust a Loki but she was appreciative of the trust. “Certainly. The details of your sex life aren’t mine to share.”

Valkyrie bit her lip as she briefly began to reconsider everything she'd just told her... but then decided she had no choice but to put her trust in her friend(?)

They were both served a rather revolting slop of dinner (prepared by a very unpleasant Agatha Harkness) before navigating to a table in the cafeteria where Jane Foster was already sitting with a horny Amora the Enchantress hanging over her shoulder and whispering only the most lewd things into her ear. Sylvie ignored it and wasted no time at all before she dug into her meal, taking quick bites of the mystery meatloaf and seemingly not minding the bland taste much. 

“I should probably mention that a Skrull is supposed to join us for dinner to negotiate a trade.” The goddess relayed to Valkyrie while washing down her food with a gulp of water. 

Valkyrie got to work eating as well. The food was never great, but it at the very least gave her a decent amount of energy, which was hugely important in the Raft. "What kind of trade?"

G'iah suddenly appeared, dragging Becky by the arm. "Here she is. One slave in exchange for your assistance."

Becky whined as she stumbled along. Her nose currently she had a bandage over it. Even though the doctor said it wasn’t broken, she was still paranoid that they were wrong. “Are you shitting me? I just got back from the infirmary. Don’t I like get the day off?!”

Sylvie sinisterly chuckled at the freckled redhead’s complaints. 

G'iah squeezed Becky's arm in response, before throwing her toward the table. "I couldn't find Kamala, and I'm sure Sylvie prefers brats to pathetic bitches like her. You're more fun to break." She then turned to Sylvie with a look of uncharacteristic vulnerability. "Do you like her?"

Sylvie assessed Becky, quite enjoying the sight of the annoying girl still trying to get away. She hoped to see that same struggle if she were to shove something up her. “I’m certainly intrigued. How many of her holes have already been stretched?”

G'iah smirked, feeling in control again as she smacked Becky right in the middle of her cheeks. "Two... only one of them isn't what you'd think. She's an anal virgin." She then caressed the brat's rump, before giving it another smack and a squeeze.

Becky squealed and Sylvie laughed. The brat was perfect. “Well then, how much for the anal virgin?”

G'iah's smile grew as she locked eyes with Sylvie, sliding her hands up and placing them firmly on Becky's shoulders. "Protection from the Kree, since you know Nebula isn't gonna help me with that... and throw in two cigarettes for being allowed to break her arse in."

Sylvie casually shrugged. G’iah wouldn’t be the first non-Asgardian she'd allowed to join her gang. It wasn’t like Ghost was a valkyrie. But there was just one issue…

“I could do that. But you do realise what getting involved with protecting a woman who isn’t in my gang would get me into, right? While your slave would doubtlessly be delightful to penetrate with a mop, that’s hardly worth incurring drama with Nebula.” 

G'iah's face fell into a frown, nervously pulling Becky in close in case she needed a human shield for any reason. In case the Kree were listening. "She doesn't need to know. It's not like I'll state anything publicly. I just need to know I can walk safely without worrying about... surprises."

Sylvie drummed her fingers on the table in consideration, smiling as she looked back and forth between Jane and Becky. She already had a small harem but a turn with the redhead was deeply tempting. She simply couldn’t resist. Her decision was made. “Amora, give her two of your cigarettes. It appears we have a deal.”

Amora scoffed. “I will pay no such fee.”

Sylvie expected Valkyrie to deal with her and Valkyrie was in no mood for games, grabbing Amora by the back of her hair before slamming the woman's face into her tray of food. "Pay it or that tray goes up your ass."

G'iah allowed herself a relieved smile. It seemed she would be well taken care of by these people.

Amora, face caked in mashed potatoes, hadn’t expected to be attacked so directly and so gave in almost immediately. Normally she was allowed to push the boundaries a lot more. Hastily she reached into her jumpsuit and procured the pack she kept stashed in her underwear. 

“That wasn’t so difficult, now was it?” Sylvie teased, taking the cigarettes and handing the entire pack over to G’iah. She mostly was overpaying just to spite Amora.

G'iah gave Sylvie a smile and a nod, beyond pleased with how this negotiation had gone. She then pulled Becky in close and whispered in her ear: "You're going to do everything Sylvie wants. Brat out a little, make a challenge, but do what she wants. If you're good, I'll start throwing in Kamala for free. If not... your life will become even more of a living hell. Understand?" 

The promise of seeing Kamala dommed wasn’t as fun for Becky as it normally was – possibly a residual sense of minor gratitude for having been helped earlier that was certainly fleeting – but still pretty entertaining. “Yes, mommy…” She rolled her eyes. G’iah then shoved Becky forward, gesturing towards the girl and giving Sylvie a look that said 'she's yours now.'

“Right then, Freckles, you may relax for now. I have you for a while and I think it would be best to build up towards you losing your anal virginity, don’t you?” Sylvie hadn’t really planned out what she wanted to do with her new toy yet so she found it best to improvise as she went along. A few ideas were already brewing in her mischievous mind. 

Becky actually shivered as goosebumps popped up all over her exposed skin. "You don't have to do that. C-come on... I'm really good at other things. Like... like eating girls out. I'd be happy to do that for you..." She was literally trying to save her own ass.

Sylvie gave her a bored expression. “I’m giving you time to prepare yourself. But if you insist on going on about it, we could do it right here in front of everyone…”

Becky bit down on her lip and whimpered as she grabbed her ass. What had she done to deserve this? The answer was a lot, but she didn’t see it that way. "P-please no. I'm sorry..." The only thing worse than knowing her ass was about to be penetrated was the thought of it happening in public.

“You haven’t eaten dinner yet. Are you hungry?” Sylvie abruptly asked, pushing her tray forward as an offering. Was she showing concern for the woman she’d paid to use?

Becky grinned excitedly, actually rather flattered by this rare moment of sweetness. Most people weren't sweet. It's why that encounter with Kamala had stuck with her so much. She sat down and reached for the food. "I'm starving. Thanks!"

It wasn’t until a spoonful was already in Becky’s mouth that Sylvie grinned and said: “I don’t believe I said that you could eat off my tray.”

Becky's eyes popped open wide as she spit the food back onto the spoon and placed it back on the tray. "R-right... Another woman's tray then?"

Amora gagged at the sight of Becky spitting the food back out while Sylvie just sighed at the loss of a meal she definitely wouldn’t be eating now. “In a manner of speaking..” The trickster goddess snickered. “...It’s beneath the table.”

Becky cringed at the thought of eating food off the floor, but it didn't seem like she would be allowed to get a fresh dinner today. So with a sigh and nod of resignation, she crawled underneath the table while keeping a hand on the back of her jumpsuit. Just in case Sylvie got any funny ideas.

But as she went down, Sylvie began to undo her own jumpsuit – not exactly shy about undressing in the middle of the cafeteria. With some seated maneuvering, the orange fabric gathered around her ankles to which she slipped her legs out and then spread them, giving Becky more than a generous view of her pussy beneath the table. 

“Do you see your meal?” She mockingly asked. 

Becky cringed at the all-too generous visual, knowing by now what that meant. But remembering G'iah's orders to be a brat, she shook her head under the table. "No way. You promised me food. That is not food."

“You’re right, it's not. But I also never offered you food. Not in those words anyway. I only asked if you were hungry because you’ll certainly need an appetite for the gushes you’ll be swallowing. Consider yourself lucky, tonight you get to feast on Asgardian pussy.” Becky couldn’t see it, but Sylvie had a very self-amused expression on her face while she gauged the reaction of the others at her table to see if they found it as entertaining as she did. Valkyrie had a small smirk, though it was largely thanks to how bratty Becky had been. 

Becky whined at Sylvie's words, but at least knew it would be better than getting anything shoved up her ass. So with a bratty huff, she shoved her face into Sylvie's snatch, and got to work with her tongue.

Sylvie allowed herself to rest into the beginning sensations of Becky’s hesitant tongue, feeling more aroused by the demeanor of the one doing it than the act itself. The goddess wasn’t very picky about how she liked to be eaten out, but she found that Becky was particularly abrupt about how she did things. It was clear she just wanted to make her cum as soon as possible. “Do it right, Freckles…” She chided. 

Becky pulled away and looked up at Sylvie with a scowl. G'iah usually didn't care about how long it lasted, just as long as she got off. "Just be glad I'm actually doing what you say, bitch." She said quietly, almost in a whisper...a whisper that could easily be heard, even though she resumed eating the woman out, giving her pussy long, slow licks.

Sylvie flippantly kicked Becky in the chest. If not for the sound of a thud beneath the table, it would have been as if nothing had happened at all because the goddess’ casual demeanour didn’t falter for even a second. 

Becky grunted in pain as she reached up to clutch her boobs, not stopping her licking as she struggled not to groan in pain. 

Valkyrie chuckled at the sound of the thud, flashing a sly smile Sylvie's way as she took a sip of water.

Becky’s tongue had finally found the perfect spot and, whether intentional or not, she seemed to be playing with it. The flicker of the tip of her tongue sent delightful shivers down Sylvie’s spine. 

“Would you like a turn with her?” Sylvie offered to Valkyrie. It wasn’t uncommon for her to share with the former King of Asgard. 

Valkyrie appreciated the gesture, which seemed like the cherry on top of this pretty amazing day. She didn't have a lot of amazing days in prison. "I would love one." She doubted Carol would mind. Plus it wasn’t exactly like a relationship in the Raft was ever going to be normal. 

Giving a nod to Valkyrie, Sylvie began to slowly grind her hips against Becky’s face – trapping the ginger’s head between her thighs. Soft tongue rolling between her folds, Sylvie clutched onto the table; eyes wide and mystified as the other woman lavished her down below. “That’s much more like it.” She gasped. 

Becky's eyes went wide and her face turned red as the woman's thighs began to squeeze against her head. But she continued to lick as hard as she could, as slow as she could, as long as she could, trying to please Sylvie to the best of her ability.

The goddess’ sex grew warmer and a fresh outpouring of juices forced Becky to swallow with every flex of her tongue. The moans that escaped Sylvie’s lips grew louder, but no one around really seemed to stare. And even if they had done so she wouldn’t really have cared. She shivered as orgasm approached rapidly. Feeling the girl’s lips latch onto her mound, Sylvie flinched as the redhead’s perfect teeth nipped her clit. It was the thing that sent her over the edge. 

Sylvie let out a triumphant roar, an ecstatic outburst of pure bliss as euphoria washed over her, and she absolutely gushed, exploding on the woman beneath the table. Her cum tasted different than that of any Midgardian or Skrull Becky had eaten out. There was a certain odd, cold sweetness to it – like tasting the winter-chilled, sweet nectar of one of Idun’s golden apples. Becky wasn't sure how to feel about the taste in her mouth. It wasn't necessarily bad, but she never loved having another woman's cum in her mouth. She'd never been a swallower, not even with her male partners before prison. 

She looked up at Sylvie with pleading eyes and a mouthful of cum, hoping she'd be allowed to spit. And Sylvie simply looked down at her and grinned. “You wouldn’t let the squirt of a god be wasted, would you?” 

Becky whined and swallowed, then opened her mouth pathetically to show she hadn't wasted a drop, even as she shivered at the sensation. "Is the rest of the night gonna suck?"

“That is entirely dependent upon you and how you choose to approach our time together. I think we could have a lot of fun together.” Sylvie affectionately, demeaningly, pat Becky’s head. 

Becky just whimpered. She really wanted to have some fun tonight, but the redhead somehow doubted their definition of fun would be the same. "I like fun..." She said in a high pitched and whiny voice, not sounding totally convinced.

Moving on to the next ‘fun’ thing, Sylvie asked Valkyrie: “Would you prefer to take your turn with her here or in my cell?” 

Valkyrie looked down at Becky with a smirk, humming in thought as she reached down and teasingly caressed her face. "Your cell offers more privacy. Let's go with that."

“Very well then. Freckles, you may have a small portion of Jane’s food should she allow it.” Despite the sense of a choice, Sylvie wasn’t really giving Jane any room to make a decision. It was clear to Jane that the only right answer would be to do as her prison mommy strongly suggested. 

Becky lit up at that, turning to Jane and holding out her hand... flashing a mean, teasing smile. She enjoyed feeling in power over someone in here, and Kamala wasn't around.

“I used to be Thor…” Jane grumbled under her breath as she handed Becky her bread. Getting pushed around by Asgardians was one thing,  but now she was seriously getting her dinner stolen by a young brat. 

Becky happily grabbed the bread, taking a huge bite just to tease her. "And now you're a stupid little slave." She laughed at that, before taking another bite... and accidentally choking a bit, breaking any sort of cool, intimidating aura she may have previously built up.

Freshly returned from dinner, Sylvie’s jumpsuit was strewn open around her chest as she sat upon the bottom bunk smirking while she idly played with her pussy. She was enjoying the spectacle of Becky coughing and gagging while being fed her own sweaty panties shoved by Valkyrie. 

"Eat them. Eat them!" Valkyrie smiled widely, truly having had the best day since first arriving at the Raft. She shoved her fingers deep into Becky's mouth, determined to make the girl swallow. 

Becky emphatically nodded her head ‘no’ while trying to say something that was far too muffled by her own underwear to make out. She was blushing bright red, humiliated by being on the receiving end of her style of torment. This was the kind of thing she did to Kamala. 

Valkyrie's smile only grew as Becky made her displeasure clear, continuing to push and cram cotton down the redhead's throat. "I've seen you tormenting that fat arsed little dork. Don't act like you don't deserve this." She really didn't care what Becky did to those beneath her. She just thought it was fun to give some sort of reason why she was punishing her.

Becky tried to say ‘I don’t’ but instead she just made an ‘mmph’ sound as the underwear hit her gag reflex.  It could have been a good moment of self-reflection for Becky, but, of course, she went in the opposite direction of that. Instead, she was entirely focused on how unfair it was. 

Valkyrie pushed her fingers just a little harder, then pulled them out of the girl's mouth. "Swallow that. I don't care if you choke. Swallow or else your face will find itself in my arse for the entire night." The faintest blush would then appear on her face as she turned to Sylvie for permission.

“You heard her. Swallow the underwear like you did my cum.” Sylvie chimed in. 

Valkyrie took a step back and smiled at the sight, snickering cruelly to herself as she gave Sylvie a look of respect. There were certainly worse people to work for.

Tears welled in Becky’s eyes. She wanted to refuse, but she also really didn’t want to spend the night under anyone’s butt. Closing her mouth, she began trying to swallow without choking. 

Becky made strange gurgling sounds between attempts at chewing the cotton down to a swallowable portion. It took a long five minutes before she tried choking it down. As Valkyrie watched the panties slowly make their way down Becky's throat, she slowly sauntered up to her before reaching down and grabbing her bare ass. "So you've really never had anything back here before?"

“No!” Becky yelled hoarsely while theatricaly trying to stop herself from throwing up. 

Valkyrie just laughed some more, shaking her head and smacking each of the girl's freckled buttcheeks. "Well whatever G'iah used to stretch your pussy... it's going to be so much worse back here..."

While Becky began whining, Sylvie, now a sopping mess down below, was twirling her tool of torment in her free hand. It was the broken-off hilt of a plunger – her very own makeshift anal violator that she was quite proud of. It honestly reminded her a lot of the pruning staffs she’d encountered at the TVA. 

Valkyrie suddenly turned Becky around and slammed her into the wall while Becky yelped at the pain and began to panic. "What are you doing? You could have hurt my nose! I'm already worried it's broken!"

The frame of the bottom bunk screeched as Sylvie rose to a stand. Her footfalls seemed loud in the normally louder cellblock as she approached. She then began tapping the tip of the plunger-stick against Becky’s spine. “Are you familiar with the Blood-Eagle?” The goddess of mischief asked. 

Becky gasped as she felt the stick, turning to Sylvie with a horrified look. "N-no... I don't care. Please don't do this!"

Sylvie ignored her plea and let the stick slowly descend down Becky’s back. “It’s an old punishment in Asgard that I believe you Midgardians used as well. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but if the prisoner could endure it without screaming or crying they were welcomed into Valhalla.” The stick was now against Becky’s ass and gently pushing between her cheeks. “I’ll reward you if you can remain strong.”

Becky whimpered sadly, pitifully, growing more and more fearful of what was about to happen to her tightest hole. She didn't want to remain strong. She wanted an unpenetrated asshole! "Please. Please, no. Please. There's this girl. Kamala. She deserves this way more than me!"

“Well since your prison mommy didn’t rent Kamala to me, it seems you’re the one she deems deserving of this.  Sylvie said, applying just a little more force but not enough to actually go in yet. 

Becky let out a half-cry/half-whine as she braced herself for some genuine torture, but then she remembered something. "What kind of reward will I get if I don't cry?"

Sylvie stopped and clicked her tongue in consideration. “I dunno. What would you like?”

Becky sniffled a bit, actually beginning to feel hopeful again. "I wanna dom Valkyrie! I wanna make her eat her panties and sleep with her face in my ass!"

Valkyrie scoffed before turning to Sylvie with an incredulous look. "She can't be serious."

Sylvie’s chuckle was haunting. “That won’t happen. But I can allow you to do that to Jane. Or the busty one.” She often forgot that Darcy Lewis had a name that wasn’t just ‘the busty one.’

Becky didn't like that answer. Not one bit as she grit her teeth and began to pout. "But I want to dom her! She deserves it after what she did to me! If you're seriously about to ruin my asshole, the least I can get is the chance to dominate someone like her!"

“I could give you nothing and subject you to this anyway.” Sylvie threatened, pushing the stick against the pucker of Becky’s butt. 

Becky bit her lip as she began to shake in fear, whimpering softly as her face twisted into a pouty glare. "I hate you so much! You're probably worse than G'iah!"

“Was that meant to be insulting?” Sylvie snickered just before shoving the tip inside of Becky. The chance of a reward had now passed. 

Becky gasped and reached back to clutch her ass, squirming and trying to break free from Valkyrie's grasp. The tip was barely in there and she was already hating it. "Fine! Fine! I'll dom the dorky Thor girl! I'll be good! Please be gentle!"

“Being gentle would run counter to the nature of the challenge. I’ll allow you a turn with Jane if, and only if, you get through this without screaming.” Sylvie applied a bit more force…

Becky let out a small squeak as the plunger went even deeper inside her asshole, her eyes twitching as she cringed hard. "Fine! F-fine! I won't scream! I won't! Does talking count too?" She really hoped it didn't. She got talkative when she was anxious.

“I dunno…” Sylvie taunted Becky by needlessly deliberating, making no movements in or out with the plunger so that Becky was left in a state of dread. “Valk, what do you think?”

Becky turned to Valkyrie with a look of fear, which only inspired the former king to feel less merciful. "Talking counts too. She should take her stretching out like a good girl. Totally silent."

Becky gasped in response, going pale as she whipped back around to stare at Sylvie.

“Right, it’s settled then. No talking. Now on the count of three I’m going to push this all the way in, ready? One..two…” Before she got to three, Sylvie used all of her force to shove the handle up Becky’s tight rectum. The resistance was considerable but nowhere near enough to stop the frost giantess from absolutely stretching Becky out. 

Becky couldn't help it. As much as she wanted to have a chance at domming someone other than Kamala, she screamed her head off as the wooden handle went in totally dry, stretching out her anal passage and giving her the worst pain she'd experienced since... pretty much ever. "Owwwww! Please take it out! Make it stop!!!"

“Well that was quick.” Sylvie chuckled menacingly, holding the handle in place in one hand while the other caressed Becky’s freckled ass. 

Becky whined as she realized she'd lost the challenge, but her heart sank even further as the brutal situation didn't immediately conclude. "What are you doing?! Take it out! Take it out! It's destroying my asshole! This is terrible!" The caressing of her ass did make her blush and tingle somewhat, but it wasn't enough to keep the excruciating pain at bay.

If Becky wanted the handle out, Sylvie was more than happy to oblige. With a tug, she ripped it out and then, giving Becky a single moment to breath in relief, she plunged it straight back in. “Like that?” Sylvie asked. 

Tears began streaming down Becky's face as she was penetrated yet again by the plunger, screaming once more and falling forward into the wall. She sniffled while trying to regain her composure just a bit. "P-please... This is torture. I didn't do anything to deserve this."

“Well you are in prison so I doubt that. Although I suppose the Raft does have an abnormal amount of convicts who haven’t really done anything.” While Sylvie was musing over that, she was also steadily pushing the object in and out in small movements to keep the pain consistent. “Why are you in prison, Freckles? I won’t judge, I’m just curious.”

"Nothing to earn me a plunger handle up my fucking asshole, you asshole!!!" Becky began to sob as she slammed her fist against the wall, face scrunching up into various pitiful expressions of pain. "I was a really awesome supervillain. Robbed a few banks. Beat a few superheroes. I don't deserve to be here! I should be out there! Taking advantage of all the stupid good guys being in jail!"

While Sylvie would have done this sort of thing regardless (Darcy Lewis, her favourite in her harem to play with, wasn’t exactly a super-criminal after all), she certainly felt at ease knowing she was dealing with someone who knew what they were getting themself into. “What’s that Midgardian expression? Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, I think. Well, Freckles, you apparently weren’t that great of a supervillain or you wouldn’t be here with a plunger up your arse while I take advantage of you.”

Becky's lip quivered as she shot Sylvie a glare, before shutting her eyes and slamming her fist into the wall again.

It immediately hurt her hand, which is about what you should expect when punching concrete. "Ow! This is the worst night of my life! Please just kill me already!" Becky wasn't voted Biggest Drama Queen in high school because she was good at acting…

Sylvie was certainly amused, laughing to herself at Becky’s pain. “I like this one. Valkyrie, how much do you think it would cost to keep her? We could use a court jester!”

Becky gasped in horror, turning to Sylvie and frantically shaking her head. G'iah was far from great, but she'd never shoved a plunger handle up her butt. "No! Nonononono!"

"Whatever it costs, it would be worth it.” Valkyrie chuckled.

“Then we’re in agreement. Tomorrow, I want you to find a way to keep her. Oh, and you may let Freckles go. I want to see her front again.” Sylvie said to Valkyrie with a nod while pulling the plunger out like a sword from a fallen foe. 

Valkyrie nodded and pulled away, letting Becky drop to her knees. The redhead looked up at Sylvie with tears pouring down her face, whimpering at the throbbing pain in her stretched butt. "You're really gonna buy me? Are you gonna do that to me again?" Not only was she scared of more anal punishments, but she'd likely be losing her chance at bullying Kamala.

“Probably. Depending on the price for you. And yes, when I feel like it.” Sylvie shrugged while taking the handle and brushing it against her hand, reminiscent of cleaning the blood off of a blade. “Get up. Spread your legs.”

Becky let out another whiny sob, weakly getting to her feet and spreading her legs obediently, while clutching her sore ass and whimpering. The tip of the stick tapped against Becky’s right ankle and then began to go up her thigh. Inching higher and higher until it was touching her pussy lips. Sylvie came in close, pressing her body against her temporary bitch. While the makeshift dildo pressed lightly against Becky’s womanhood, Sylvie’s hand grasped the dark red carpet of Becky’s bush and she twirled a few hairs in her grasp. 

Becky gasped as the stick touched her vagina, quickly shoving it away and going wide eyed. "Watch it! That was in my ass. You're gonna give me an infection!" 

Valkyrie sighed and rolled her eyes. "This girl doesn't know how things work around here."

“You are more than welcome to get your pussy searched in the infirmary tomorrow, but tonight I wouldn’t worry about it.”

Sylvie’s breath was as cold as a winter’s biting chill against Becky’s cheek. This time she didn’t shove the handle in. She’d violated Becky already (and she was about to do it again up the other end), but Becky wouldn't be as fun if she broke her completely. “When was the last time you came, Freckles?”

Becky's jaw dropped as her fear and disbelief only began to grow. She hadn't realized how good she'd had it with G'iah. "A....a few days ago." Kamala had managed to annoy G'iah to the point where she made her slave get the redhead off. She didn't love to give Becky much in the way of rewards, so that said a lot.

“A few days? For me that’s far too long. Maybe it’s just this place, but every few hours I’m horny.” It wasn’t just this place. Sylvie was just like that. Having lived her life in apocalypses, Sylvie could basically get herself off anywhere. She’d once flicked her bean in the refrigeration aisle of a supermarket that was about to be wiped out in a hurricane…while people were stockpiling supplies around her. 

“I’m offering to let you cum. Which is a rather considerate consolation prize since you didn’t succeed in the challenge I gave you. Yes I’m shoving the tip of a plunger up your pussy, but consider how good it will make you feel after what I just did to your arse. Believe me, you’ll love it. Or at the very least you’ll like the distraction from the pain.”

Becky bit her lip at the offer... and the frankness with which Sylvie spoke. In truth, she masturbated daily when on the outside. G'iah's strict rule  had made that less likely. "If you buy me... will I get to cum more often?" She was desperate for any sort of silver lining to this potential change in ownership.

Sylvie’s hand twirled Becky’s pubic hair a little more as she let the stick find its way back against Becky’s inner thigh. “If you’re a very good girl for me, yes.” But let’s face it, it’s Becky. The chances of her being good were non-existent. 

Becky blushed, tensing up a little as she felt the stick slide around. "And if I'm not?" She knew herself all too well. She'd never use the word to describe herself, but she was a total brat, which likely didn't bode well for future rewards.

Sylvie’s response to that question was an expectant look, an eyebrow raised, that dared Becky to guess. 

Becky whined, biting her lip as her face broke out into a massive blush. "Be patient with me. I can't help it sometimes. I... I do want to be good." Truthfully, she did like the idea of subbing to a sweet, loving, and slightly playful dom... provided she allowed Becky to set boundaries. The women here never did.

Again, Sylvie communicated through an expression. This time one that practically screamed ‘be honest with yourself.’

Becky let out a little pout, pursing her lips and crossing her arms. "F-fine. I hate your guts. I'd love to shove your face in my cookie and make you eat me out like the bitch you are... Happy?"

“I am. At least what you said this time seems accurate.” Sylvie replied and then she slid the stick up Becky’s pussy, gentler in her approach up this way than behind. 

Becky let out a strangled cry, not liking the knowledge of what was inside her... but actually enjoying the feeling of something in there again. "D-does that get me brownie points?"

Enjoying Becky’s brattiness so that she could punish it frequently in the event that she obtained the redheaded bully, Sylvie chose to encourage the behaviour. “I think it should. I’d rather you be honest than to pretend to be my subservient slave.”

Becky took the bait, raising an eyebrow before smiling and sticking her tongue out at the woman. "Good to know." She could actually get used to that.

In response, Sylvie let the nub rub against Becky’s clit as the handle filled the girl’s pussy more and more. Seeking to finish what she’d started earlier and getting increasingly turned on by the sight of the object sinking deeper inside Becky, Sylvie aggressively grabbed Becky’s right hand (which the bully had been using to sooth her sore butt) and forced it between her thighs. What she wanted was clear. 

“I’m getting you off. It’s only fair.” The goddess grinned. 

Becky sighed as her hand was moved, rolling her eyes but beginning to finger the woman in return. She knew better than to disobey, but was happy her left hand was free to soothe her ass. 

In the background, Valkyrie leaned against the wall, watching the show as both women got closer to cumming, feeling a teeny bit jealous. If only Carol was here. 

While Sylvie rolled her hips against Becky’s fingertips sloshing away inside her, she pounded Becky’s pussy with the plunger with an increasing intensity to the rhythm of her own moans. It surely must have hurt, but she figured it was more than lubricated enough by Becky’s juices to at least slip in and out with some ease. 

Heaving, Sylvie was randomly reminded of Valkyrie’s presence within the cell and she felt a little bad for excluding her. So, without looking back, she happily commanded: “Your king gives you full permission to touch yourself to this if you’d so like.”

Valkyrie smiled and began shamelessly fingering herself, causing Becky to roll her eyes once more. She grimaced a bit as the hard wooden handle rubbed harshly against her pussy. Still, she was getting closer by the second, humping the handle and shutting her eyes to try and imagine a man beneath her.

Despite the very lewd noises Sylvie made, the goddess allowed Becky to enjoy her fantasy. She’d noticed how a lot of the straight inmates seemed to always close their eyes during sex and it didn’t take a genius to figure out why. She wasn’t offended, but she did find it fascinating.

She did her best to let Becky ride the handle to her heart’s content, moving every which way until it was truly coated and dripping with the bully’s juices. 

There was a true cacophony of moans in their cell now. A melody of euphoria from the three women that could be heard down the cellblock. While Becky muttered breathy curses, Sylvie grunted, and Valkyrie gasped. It wasn't long before Becky came, dripping onto the mop handle as she screamed in orgasmic joy. Valkyrie laughed a little at the porn-star-like moans, trying to figure out if they were real or if she was playing it up, while continuing to finger herself to her heart's content.

It wasn't long before Becky came, dripping onto the mop handle as she screamed in orgasmic joy. Valkyrie laughed a little at the porn-star-like moans, trying to figure out if they were real or if she was playing it up, while continuing to finger herself to her heart's content.

Mere seconds later, Sylvie was next to cum. Her moan echoing down the cellblock as she arched her back in pure ecstasy. It was almost like she was in competition to see if she could be louder than Becky.

Becky blushed as she listened to Sylvie moan, biting her lip and realizing how weird and awkward this whole situation was. "S-so, uh... Are we done?"

Sylvie withdrew the handle one final time and then gave Becky a nod. “For now.” She said dismissively while stepping over to the bunk bed.

Becky let out a scream and dropped to her knees, looking up at Sylvie with tear stained eyes. "Thank you for letting me cum. Can I go back to my cell?"

“It’s nearly lights out. You probably won’t make it to your cell in time and I would hate for you to end up spending the night in the hole…” Sylvie worded keeping Becky captive for the night like she was doing her a favour. 

Becky went wide eyed, turning to Sylvie and biting her lip shyly. She was trying to look cute. "Bunk, please?"

“There are two beds. The bottom is Valkyrie’s and I’m assuming you’d prefer not to sleep with her given that she’ll likely use your arse as a pillow. The top is mine and I think experience has shown what being with me entails. So regardless of what bed you choose, you won’t be getting much sleep.” Sylvie smirked. 

“But there is a third option. If you sleep on the floor neither of us will touch you until the morning. It’s up to you.”

Becky cringed, then got into an awkward laying position on the floor, whimpering but trying not to make her pouting too obvious. The cold, hard floor was just so uncomfortable. "I... I can make do with this I guess." 

Sylvie climbed up into bed and tucked herself in, still completely naked. Rolling over to face Becky, she flippantly said: “You’re welcome to use my jumpsuit as a blanket if you get cold.”  It was still on the floor after all. 

Becky didn't love that idea, not being sure the last time it was washed, but she was oddly grateful that the woman seemed to at least somewhat care. "Thank you, mistress Sylvie."

“You’re welcome.” Sylvie nodded, always happy to have a grateful bitch. “But speak another word and your face will spend the night under me. Goodnight.” 

Becky scoffed and crossed her arms, sitting back up and glaring at Sylvie. "Rude." She muttered under her breath, though Valkyrie definitely heard it as she literally fell into bed.

"She spoke another word, Syl." said Valkyrie. 

In an instant, Sylvie seemed to have hopped out of bed and grabbed Becky by her red hair. Another second and she was pushing the bully’s face against the metal ladder that led to the top bunk. “You entirely did this to yourself.” The goddess said, obviously having hoped Becky would do something stupid. 

Becky screamed and let out a pitiful whine as she felt her face press against the cold metal. "Wait! Wait! I didn't hear you in time! Please no! The floor is totally fine with me! In fact, I love the floor!"

“Yes well I’m afraid your lack of listening skills doesn’t mean you didn’t do the exact opposite of what I told you just moments after I made things very clear.” Sylvie didn’t let up on the pressure. “Maybe you’ll fall in love with the taste of my arse. I’ve been told I have a rather exquisite bum.”

Becky bit her lip and groaned as her face was smushed, blushing harder by the second as she imagined spending a whole night in this woman's asscrack. "Stupid bitch!"

With a grin, Sylvie made sure she didn’t react to those words. That would give Becky satisfaction. Instead she leaned in close and said calmly: “I’ll try not to roll around too much on your broken nose.”

Becky gasped, her stomach twisting at those words. The doctor at the infirmary had neglected to help after the redhead bratted out. "You don't know that it's broken! It's probably fine!!!" It... looked pretty crooked if we're being honest.

Still keeping her in her grasp, Sylvie shoved Becky away from the ladder and over in front of Valkyrie. “Does her nose look broken, yes or no?” She asked her friend/enforcer. 

Valkyrie sighed and looked up at Becky with a blank expression. "Either it's broken or she really could've used plastic surgery on the outside."

Becky let out a terrified squeak, reaching up to clutch her injured nose. "That stupid doctor! I told her it was broken!"

Chuckling at Valkyrie’s comment, Sylvie spanked Becky’s tender butt. She absolutely did not care how distressed the redhead was about a busted nose. “Last chance to climb up onto my bed before I shove the plunger back inside you.” 

Becky squeezed her eyes shut and whimpered, panicked at the idea of her nose not healing properly. "Please not the plunger. Please..." She then struggled not to cry as she forced herself to climb the ladder.

Sylvie didn’t find a need to force her any more. She’d made Becky comply and that was enough. Climbing up after her, she pushed Becky so that she laid down against the feeble mattress. “Turn your head to the right.” She commanded. She wasn’t so much of a sadist that she’d actually sleep on Becky’s possibly broken nose. The girl could keep her head turned so that nothing pressed against the injury. 

Becky was at least thankful for that gesture, turning her head as far as could to keep her nose safe. "I'm sorry... I learned my lesson, mistress..."

“I highly doubt that.” Sylvie replied while getting her pillow and moving it atop Becky's lower abdomen that she may sleep comfortably atop her. 

Becky returned to being angry, sending a glare her way as she prepared to have a very rough night. "Well maybe if you just accepted when I'm being apologetic, I actually would be!"

Sylvie straddled her and then began to lay down, her butt quickly approaching Becky’s face. At this point she was past giving a warning and it was up to Becky to have the common sense to move her face into a position that wouldn’t get her nose crushed. 

Unfortunately, common sense had never really been Becky's strongest suit, as she glared up at the woman's bare ass. "You really are a stupid- MPHM!"

Blissfully resting atop the now thrashing Midgardian, Sylvie sighed in relief. Completely enjoying the silence granted by literally laying on Becky’s face. Sure the bunk shook with every one of Becky’s movements, but it also did that when Valkyrie was jilling off in the middle of the night so Sylvie was fairly used to it. 

As the lights of the cellblock dimmed into a near pitch-black, Sylvie covered herself (and Becky) with the itchy prison-issued blanket. She bid Valkyrie goodnight and then shut her eyes. 



Chapter 41: Death: The Sound of Her Wings

Summary:

One day in every century Death of the Endless takes on mortal flesh to taste the bitter tang of mortality so that she may better comprehend what the lives she takes must feel. Thus is the price she must pay for being the divider of the living from all that has gone before, and all that must come after. Except her special day is interrupted when her old friend from across the omniverse, Rio Vidal, comes to pay a visit. Grandiose, sweeping, life-or-death themes are explored; much needed relationship advice is given; and two personifications of death decide whose methods are better through sexual domination.

Notes:

Chapter Text

 

 



“Seasons don’t fear the reaper, nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain”

 



She was like a dream dipped in delirium. Everyone’s destiny and their destruction. Endlessly, the mortals desired her and despaired of her. She came to them in their darkest moments and left them with no regret, and nothing left to lament. She was Death. But she didn’t have an eerie skull or carry a scary scythe. Instead, with coal-black hair, snowflake-white skin, a pretty face and a warm embrace, she was a friend at the end of a long road. 

As one might imagine, reaping souls on every planet in every galaxy in every universe is a demanding but important job. Still it could be a lot. That’s why every few millennia or so she gave herself a day-off, one occasional day of a near infinite many where she would hang up her metaphorical scythe and lay back on a beach and feel the sun (or suns) on her pale white skin. This one just had to coincide with another special day. 

Upon a beach of golden sands surrounded by a sea which reflected a perfect summer-day sky above, Death basked in the beauty created by the minds of mortals. The weather was idyllic, warm but not too hot with a gentle breeze blowing through the palm trees. The air bore a sweet flavour, like that of the nectar of tropical fruits, and she could hear the gentle melody of the distant waves. 

Death was dressed in a black bikini that clung to her lithe body and left nothing up to the imagination. Around her neck hung an ankh, her sigil. 

Naturally, she’d invited her six endless siblings but each seemed to have a reason that they were far too busy to enjoy existence. Her only older sibling, Destiny, in his limitless maze, was tending to the nature of fate itself. Dream was preoccupied brooding in the Dreaming as per usual. Destruction was still missing. Desire and Despair had ignored her calls. She had actually piqued Delirium’s over-enthusiastic interest, but expectedly she’d probably lost focus on what she was doing and had completely forgotten their plan. 

Smiling to herself, Death set her picnic basket down and sat in gleeful solitude, taking in the serenity of her surroundings. For a moment, her smile faltered, as the weight she kept bottled in the back of her mind began to float to the front of it. She took a deep breath as she shut her eyes and listened to the songs of seagulls. But soon, In the place of their low, piercing keows, there instead came a series of shrill chirps and squeaks accompanied by the heavy flutterings of leathery wings. 

Opening her eyes, Death was pleasantly surprised to find that aspects of the environment had changed. Bats now danced in the daylight and the air now bore an earthy note, like the forest after a rainstorm. Just a short distance away there was now a tombstone made of sand, a grim pantomime of a sandcastle, with the initialized form of the words ‘rest in piece’ carved upon its face. It would seem someone had come to join her on holiday after all… 

A gnarled hand burst forth from the ground in front of the tombstone, and Death laughed to herself as the mangled form of a woman began crawling up through the sand like a reanimated corpse. The sudden transformation of the serene beachscape did not startle Death in the slightest, having witnessed countless rebirths of reality in her eternal existence. She regarded the sand-crusted figure with a twinkle of curiosity, her visage a stark contrast to the newcomer's decayed beauty. The woman, a ghastly yet gorgeous blend of life and decay, stumbled closer. 

She too was death, but when she came to take the soul, there would be no friendly smile, no warm embrace. No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold would satisfy her but the very life-force of those she claimed. She was nature incarnate, the natural order of all things, chaos and destruction, the destination that all roads, whether paved or overgrown, inevitably led towards. She was the first Green Witch. Lady Death…or you could just call her Rio Vidal.

She wore something akin to a bikini, but it had been formed (not woven) out of gnarled, twisting vines and dark, clinging moss.

“Rio, it’s been ages!” Death greeted her, gesturing to the picnic basket with a wave of her hand. She was more than a little familiar with her omniversal counterpart. It was a little strange how they could both be the utmost personification of the concept of death in the multiverse, but the laws of existence are not for mortal minds to comprehend. “Please sit.” 

"I see you've decided to take a break from your eternal rounds." Rio said with her own twisted form of Death’s warmness as she slowly began to approach. 

Death's smile grew wider. "Oh, just a brief pause. The universe doesn't stop turning just because one of the Endless needs a holiday. What brings you here? Last time we talked you’d had enough of the mortal plane.”

Rio, now standing fully, brushed the last of the sand from her skin. "I heard the whispers of your solitude. And I thought, hey why not crash the party?" She looked around, taking in the serene beauty of the mortal construct and finding it all just so uninteresting. "So this is your idea of a once in an eon vacation? This…peace." Her words were laced with boredom. “I can see why you would enjoy this so much."

“I take it your idea of a perfect holiday isn’t a beach.” Death said.

“Oh, I found a pretty fun little universe. Things are stuck in the 19th century and it’s awful!” Rio said in an enthusiastic tone that stood in juxtaposition to her phrasing. It was clear that by ‘awful’ she meant ‘fun.’ “They’ll hang just about anyone for anything apparently. Murder? Death. Arson? Death. Pickpockets? Death. The bodies are really piling up, and I get the pleasure of being the one to slip the noose around their throats and then pulling the lever.”

Death wasn’t unnerved by Rio’s clear sadism. It was to be expected from her and she could appreciate their differences. “And so you technically aren’t interfering by being an executioner because they’re destined to die in that moment no matter what. Clever!” 

“Exactly!” Rio replied, having a rare moment of having another being be able to understand the complexities of her existence. “I get to do my job and play with them before they die.”

Death smiled. “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. That’s a line from Mary Poppins. I love that movie. Ever see it?”

Rio looked at Death with an expression of amused confusion. “No” she said in a tone that conveyed a passing interest in what her lighter other was on about. 

“There’s this guy who's utterly a banker, and he doesn’t have time for his family, or for living, or for anything. And Mary Poppins, she comes down from the clouds, and she shows him what’s important. Fun. Flying Kites. All that stuff.” Death laid back upon the sand and enjoyed the sight of the vast blue sky above her. “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

“What?” Rio asked, her grim eyes falling upon the other's in a manner that most would have perceived as threatening even if that was the opposite of her intention. In all fairness, she didn’t do much to dissuade their fear. She quite enjoyed it in fact. 

Death chuckled to herself at Rio’s confused response. It seemed she’d managed to be too chaotic for chaos itself. “Super-cali-fragil-istic-expi-ali-docious. Fantabulous word, huh? It means, y’know, great. Wonderful. Ginchy. Gnarly. Peachy keen. It’s a cute movie. Maybe not for everyone but y’know…Dick Van Dyke’s British accent defies belief. ‘How 'hits a jolly ‘oliedye wiv yew, Mairee Pawpins!’ Y’know, cute.”

By this point in the explanation, Rio had summoned her beloved dagger and begun pressing its impossibly sharp tip against the flesh of her index finger. “Wow. You’re really selling me on this movie.” She said, deadpan.

“I think you’d like it if you gave it a chance. You’d just have to get past the lack of blood and tears.” Death joked. "So tell me, how's the soul-collecting been going? Any particularly interesting ones lately?"

Rio leaned against the sandy tombstone, pondering the question. "Oh, you know the usual. The occasional hero, the eternal sinner, a multitude of the innocent. Nothing out of the ordinary." She paused, her expression darkening slightly. "I did have to deal with a few ghosts. They never know when to just accept my cold embrace."

"The stubbornness of the dead is almost endearing.” Death mused. 

"Endearing?" Rio scoffed. "They're a nuisance. They cling to their mortal lives like barnacles to a rotting ship. They never learn that their time has come and gone. They had their shot at life and now it’s over.”

"Maybe they just need a gentle hand to guide them. Or, in your case, a swift kick." Death suggested. 

Rio chuckled, the sound echoing eerily across the beach. “What can I say? I enjoy a healthy amount of them fearing me.”

“You’re almost as dramatic as Desire.”

Rio only shrugged in response. Dramatic was hardly an insult to the woman who enjoyed making an entrance by popping out of graves. “And how are your siblings? Still at each other’s throats?” She’d come across most of them at various points. For better or worse, the Endless had a much closer relationship than her siblings. The last time herself, Eternity, Infinity, Entropy, and Eon were together was sometime around the Big Bang. 

“They’re pretty much the same as always. Plotting, brooding, and loads of feeling sorry for themselves. The usual family drama.” Death said casually. It had been that way since the beginning of their existence (which was the beginning of existence itself). “Speaking of drama, how are things with your ex? Still stalking her?”

“Stalking. Relentlessly making her stay in prison as chaotic as possible. Conveniently not warning her about how her actions would get her locked in a chastity belt. Any and all of the above.” Rio stated proudly.  “I actually just came here from her cell.”

“It’s funny that you should mention prison. One of the last souls I collected before coming here was shivved in one.” The woman in question had been stabbed to death in the showers of Belle Reve.

“Where were they stabbed?” Rio asked with a macabre excitement. She was imagining it was several, quick puncture wounds in the gut.

Death remembered immediately. She remembered everyone. “Her throat was slashed.”

Rio groaned in boredom at the relatively clean nature of that kill. If suffering was to exist it could at least be exciting. “What a waste.” She rolled her eyes. 

Not having yet eaten, Death opened her picnic basket and procured a bunch of grapes. “I love food. I mean it’s so much more fun than photosynthesis, or having a power pack in your back, or bathing in liquid crystals, or any of those things.” Death popped a grape in her mouth and she seemed to savour the taste before looking over at Rio again with a sudden realisation. “How rude of me, want some?” She offered over the whole picnic basket. “Have whatever you’d like.”

“Thanks.” Rio said and then ripped off a piece of a packed baguette. But she wanted something else with it. Something that wasn’t packed. What exactly it was escaped her but she remembered it rather quickly. Two goblets carved from bone and a bottle of wine appeared in front of them. 

“An 1846 amontillado. I didn’t think there was a bottle of this left.” Death mused, pouring for the both of them. 

Rio lifted her goblet and took a drink from it before saying: “You can thank Edgar Allan Poe. Took it from his study after collecting him.”

Both Death and Rio had met their own versions of the famous author. “Y’know I think Dream and Despair had a wager over him.” She said wistfully. If she remembered it correctly (and she always did), they’d wanted to see if art could be made even in the deepest depths of despair.  But that was enough ruminating over the past. Hopping to her feet and picking up her basket, she extended her hand out to Rio and said: “Right then, come with me! I don’t know about you but I think it’s far too gorgeous of a day to waste it just sitting around!”

Reluctantly, Rio took her hand and was whisked away in the opposite direction of the sea. They’d walked a couple minutes, towards the edge of a small town, before Death pointed in the direction of a stall by the road where a woman was selling fruit. That seemed like a good place to start. Rio’s hand in hers, she stepped in front of the stall and inspected the fruit. All of them looked quite good. “I’ll have two, please” she pointed at the apples. 

Rio found this all so trivial. They were anthropomorphic personifications of finality. Partaking in such…benign…activity was beneath them. She really couldn’t have imagined anything more dull than spending a day living like one of the mortals she reaped. But she didn’t say anything but a sly chuckle of disapproval.

The vendor handed Death the apples and insisted that it was free of charge. With a smile Death thanked them and then continued to walk with Rio, handing the Green Witch her apple while she ate her own. 

“How nice of you” Rio said dryly before taking a bite into the crimson apple. At her lips, the peel withered and decayed. “Is this really what you do, live among them?” She gestured to the increasingly populated beachside market they were entering. 

Death took another bite of her apple, savouring the sweet taste. “When I’m not busy: ‘One day in every century Death takes on mortal flesh, better to comprehend what the lives she takes must feel like, to taste the bitter tang of mortality: that this is the price she must pay for being the divider of the living from all that has gone before, all that must come after.’ Heard that from my brother who heard it in a dream. It’s just 24 hours but it’s a great 24 hours. The way I see it, we get to see so many cool things, and people and worlds. We get to learn so much. Why shouldn’t we enjoy the realms we walk in? Lots of people don't have a job they love doing, do they?” 

“I can’t imagine what that's like. I love mine.” Rio replied.

“I find it funny how I’m the one who has a personal affection for humans. Given that, between the two of us, you’re the only one who’s had them fall in love with you.” Death pondered. 

Rio smirked. “They love me even though I am far more treacherous than you. I guess they just have a thing for the bad boys.”

“What’s it like? To be with them I mean. In all the eternity of my existence, I’ve never fallen for a mortal in the way you have. I’ve always wondered though.” While some of Death’s siblings had their dalliances with gods and mortals, Dream had a son with the goddess Calliope after all, she’d always kept herself distant from that form of affection. 

“You’re not missing out on much.” Rio said, dismissing the question as her gaze turned elsewhere. She planned to leave the topic there, hopefully never to be returned to, but something caught her eye. Two mothers talking as they pushed their infant in its stroller. It brought back distant memories of something she’d lost. She sighed to herself and for just a moment she was vulnerable. “A long time ago, I loved someone…and we had a son. But when he was stillborn, my love pleaded with me to give him more time. So, against the balance, I gave him as much as I could. When his time came, I had to do something I did not want to do and the woman I loved swore she would never forgive me.” A loneliness and regret unlike any other seemed to take hold of Rio, revealing far more than the usual act she put on. “Falling in love with mortals is a mistake.” A mistake she was unable to undo for as long as her black heart still beat for Agatha Harkness. 

“I-” Death began to say something, but didn’t manage to utter a word as she broke down in an intense coughing fit. “Sorry, I choked on the apple.” She assured when it had passed. Rio gave her a skeptical look but didn’t say anything. 

Whatever their conversation began to drift towards was brought to a dead halt when an elderly woman slowly began to approach the duo. Her back was hunched, and her clothes worn and tattered as if she’d been wearing them for decades. The only thing of any colour other than the bleakest of browns and greys was a bright yellow sunflower on which she comically wore a wide-brim sun hat that was covered in stitches and patches. In her hands she was brandishing a broken glass bottle, its jagged shards something of a weapon. Neither Rio or Death looked threatened. 

“Mad Hettie!” Death beamed with her typical terminally perky smile, recognising the crone with the same familiarity one might have with a person they’d been friends with for decades. 

Hettie gave a solemn nod. “That’s right. It’s me.” She replied in a crackled, grave cockney accent. Rio just looked back and forth between the two of them trying to piece together how this interaction was about to go. 

“Well, what is it, Mad Hettie? What do you want?”

“A hundred years ago I missed you. But I’ve had plenty of time to think since then, and I haven’t missed you this time. Or missed this little lassie with you.” Hettie pointed the bottle at Rio. 

“Little lassie?” Rio threateningly chuckled, pulling her dagger from some unknown source. Its blade shimmered under the summer-day sun and both the weapon and its wielder yearned for blood. 

“Both of you, relax. Hettie, this is my friend, Rio.” Death gestured to her completely insane friend, grinning maniacally at Hettie like she was about to cut her apart at any moment. “Rio, don’t mind her. She’s just a little grouchy.”

Hettie looked at Rio, who was baring her teeth at her, and decided that she completely loathed whoever this woman was. “I hid something a long time ago and I want you to find it for me.” She explained, returning her attention to Death. 

Death crossed her arms. “Today? Hettie, I’m nobody special today.” 

“You’re special enough for me.” Desperation briefly showed itself in Hettie’s somber tone. Whatever this was about was deeply important to her. 

Death nodded, ready to hear her out. “So what do you want me to find?” 

Hettie glanced around, as if making sure no one was listening. Then her gaze was cast downward and she let herself be vulnerable. “I want you to find my heart for me. Will you? Will you please find it? I’ve tried ever so hard and I can’t do it on me own.”

“And if I say no?” Death asked. 

Mad Hettie grabbed ahold of Rio’s arm and Rio just seemed to cackle at the audacity. She absolutely could have broken free but she wanted to see what the crone would do. “Then I’ll have to cut yer bonny girl’s nose off just for starters.  I put the little bugger somewhere safe as houses, I did. Somewhere no one would find it. ‘Specially not you. You don’t reach a ripe old age of 280 without knowing a trick or two. Anyways, it’s traditional. Hidin’ yer heart.”

“So let me get this straight, you’ve hidden it from me. And now you want me to find it for you?” Death asked, amused. “Ok, I’ll look for it. But there’s stuff of my own I want to do as well today. Any idea where you left it?”

Hettie moved the bottle farther from Rio’s throat. “Mayhap I placed it in a duck egg, inside a duck, inside a well, inside a castle, on an island, surrounded by a lake of bleedin’ fire, guarded by a hundred dragons each larger and more ferocious than the last..”

“And maybe you didn’t.” Death shrugged. 

“Well it’s been a long time lovey. Me mind goes wanderin’ on occasion.”

“Mad Hettie…” Death said softly. 

Hettie hesitated but asked a quiet: “Yes dearie?” 

“Take my picnic basket. There’s bread and wine and apples. Help yourself to some food. We’ll be back with your heart.” Death held out the basket. 

Hettie looked at her with the utmost appreciation and then shoved Rio at her as she went to grab the basket. “Thank you, luv. Now here’s your girlfriend back.”

“She’s not my girlfriend, but thanks!” Death took Rio’s hand before she could do anything violent to the old woman. “Come on Rio, it’ll be a day to remember!”

They walked a short distance, really only a few steps down the street, before Rio asked: “You just let her coerce you into helping her, why? It’s not like she could have stabbed me.” She didn’t exactly do favors just because someone asked her to. At least not most of the time. 

“I figure she deserves some slack.” Death replied. “Besides, she’s harmless. The real question is why did you let her grab you?”

“You seemed to know what you were doing and I thought why cut the fun of a sharp object being held at my throat short.” Just because Rio enjoyed doing the cutting didn’t mean she didn’t occasionally enjoy being cut. Pleasure and pain were incredibly mixed up for her. 

“Fair enough.” Death laughed. “Look, I know looking for this heart probably counts as doing a personal favour to a mortal and that’s not really your thing so if you want to go you can. I completely understand.”

“Well I’m still here aren’t I?” Rio was along for the ride for whatever mischief they might get up to. 

They seemingly walked the distance of the entire town, talking all along the way. Sharing stories of forgotten gods and other worlds. Of souls they’d accompanied and names the mortals had once called them. All around them life in all its glory and tragedy unfolded around them. There was laughter and music and arguments and cries. They passed young lovers, and children at play, and elders who sat upon benches sharing stories of their own. The two deaths walked until the midday sun had now reached its peak and the summer air was hot. Whether consciously or not, they were now on a date. 

Eventually their adventure would find them stopping in at a little unassuming pierside bar right after Death had scored a pair of sunglasses off a vendor. It was astounding how, once again, Death managed to get something for free as she ordered drinks for herself and Rio. It was an ability that demanded Rio’s immediate questioning. “How is it that you can just ask for something and people give it to you for free? Last I checked the humans had this thing called money that they use to barter.”

“I don’t know really. I’d be happy to pay if they just asked.” Death shrugged. Her response was then preceded by a silence, before she slowly turned to look at Rio and softly asked: “So what are you really doing here?” 

“I told you. I thought it would be fun.” Rio replied, not meeting Death’s eyes. 

Death wasn’t about to let that lie pass. “Ok well we both know that’s rubbish. If you were here to have fun someone would have died by now. Your ideal holiday is working as an executioner.”

“It got boring.” Rio shrugged, attempting to bypass the topic. Except it was a sign to cause serious concern. If Rio was bored of hanging people something was surely wrong. In the eons of her existence she’d never once not enjoyed being the one to kill someone. Sure there were those she didn’t enjoy reaping, but if she ended a life by her own hands it was always because she wanted to. There was a massive difference between collecting a soul and killing someone. 

Death glanced at her, knowing that this ran far deeper than boredom. “It is about your ex?” She asked, prying just slightly but not to an extent that would be the opposite of what Rio needed. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Rio replied, poorly lying. 

“Rio…” Death persisted, gentler this time.

“I know that tone” Rio rolled her eyes. “That’s your pitiful, ‘I’m sorry sir, but you’re dead’ voice. Okay. Fine. Agatha still resents me for what I had to do…and despite what I’ve done to try to earn her forgiveness, it doesn’t matter. I thought showing up at her prison and giving her Wanda Maximoff would be enough to at least begin to reconcile, but nothing I do will atone for the death of our son!" Rio’s sudden outburst surprised Death. She'd always been a live wire of emotion, but genuine anger was not one that easily came. A tense silence grew between them again.

“Have you tried talking to her about it?” Death asked, predicting the answer. 

Rio gave her an expression of annoyance. “Talking to her? That’s your best advice?” She asked, judging the idea immensely. 

“I don’t understand you, Rio,” Death declared. Rio pretended not to hear her, so she continued. “I tell you you’re too attached to Nicky to do it properly, and that I could spare you from doing it because I knew it would hurt you, but you absolutely insisted on taking the boy. Then you reunite with the woman that you’ve spent centuries pining over, move in with her against her will, and then expect her to magically forget why she resents you without ever talking to her about it. Tell me how that makes sense.” The words hung heavy in the air. 

“She knows what happened. What’s the point in telling her? It wouldn’t change anything.” Rio disregarded it with a tone of resentment. She didn’t blame Agatha for hating her for what she did, but she did lament that it seemed not even centuries had dulled the pain. In truth, she hadn’t talked about it with Agatha because it would have hurt in a way she wasn’t comfortable with. 

“You are utterly the stupidest, most self-centered appallingest excuse for an anthropomorphic personification on this or any other plane. Instead of moping about and being all mysterious, just tell her how you feel. It's not like she can't tell by now anyway. You’re not being anywhere near as subtle as you think.” Death was, above all else, kind. And right now the greatest kindness she could provide Rio was a metaphorical slap to the face to get her to wake up. “The worst that can possibly happen is that she doesn’t forgive you. And if so, so what? At least you’ll have closure rather than hanging on her shoulder hoping she’ll make the first move. People waste so much of their life regretting being too scared to take a leap of faith and you’re no different.”

Anger blazed in Rio’s face, a natural temptation to cause harm to any being who dared speak to her in such a manner before she remembered that a lesser being wasn’t speaking to her but rather one of equal standing in the cosmos. Where wrath had boiled for a second, melancholy took its stead – dancing behind her steely gaze and betraying her true feelings. “Who are you to dare tell me what I should do? Are you somehow better because you haven’t felt attached to a human? Is that what it is?” Rio sprung to being defensive as a way to escape having to honestly reflect on how she felt. 

“I’m just trying to look out for you, Rio” Death continued in a softer tone. She realised how harsh her previous statements had been but she also knew it was the only way to get Rio’s attention. “You’re a good friend and I know you well enough to know that something is seriously wrong if you’re not even enjoying hanging people.”

Rio hated to internally admit that Death was far too good at this whole advice thing. Maybe the other entity was right that speaking with Agatha Harkness about their fraught history would be better than simply messing with her. It was enough to change her mood and she let her anger melt off and sadness settle her deeply into her chair. 

“You asked me why I didn’t let you take Nicky for me, and it’s because I wanted to be the one to do it” Rio’s voice was barely louder than a whisper. “He deserved to have his mothers with him.” She took a long sip from her drink, ruminating over the same thing she’d contemplated for centuries. “How come the only time we talk to each other is when we’re losing people?” Rio asked, her voice finally containing her usual lighthearted tone. “Wasn’t that the last time we saw each other? Not long after your brother left and I took Nicky.” 

Death nodded in agreement. Three hundred years wasn’t that long for them, but her and Rio’s last meeting did seem like a very long time ago. “Who better to talk about pain with than Death, right?” she replied with a grin. Rio laughed, fully and genuinely. 

Upon the bar countertop, Death saw a strange little Russian Nesting Doll that she found most adorable. “Funny how life sometimes leads people to where they’re supposed to go without them knowing it.” She mused to herself while looking at the object. She asked the owner of the bar if she may keep it and against all odds, they said yes. 

Meanwhile, Rio focused on her drink while her mind turned with thoughts on what exactly she’d do when she got back to the Raft. By the time she looked up, Death was already mid-conversation with the fairly cute bartender – a woman in her twenties with a somewhat macabre appearance. On her neck was the tattooed form of a moth. She’d introduced herself as Jenny a few words back but Rio hadn’t been listening. 

“Can I ask you a question?” Death asked. 

Jenny, who looked unmistakably enamoured with Death, looked pleased to have piqued the woman’s interest. “Is it personal?” She asked, expecting something fairly different than the question she would receive. 

“Very.” Death said honestly. 

Jenny smiled softly and tucked a strand of dark hair behind her piercing-adorned ear. “Good. Yeah, go on. Ask.”

“What is it you think makes life worth living?” Death’s meaning in existence was set from the beginning, but mortals found their own meaning. She’d noticed how anyone she asked always had a different answer too. It was a fact that fascinated her to no end

Jenny reflected on the question, trying to collect her thoughts. “Well...my sister thinks it's men. For me, it's at the end of my night shift when the sun's just coming up, and I've got the world all to myself and just for a moment everything feels possible.”

“I love that.” Death then looked to Rio. “What about you, Rio? What makes life worth living?”

Without taking a moment to think, Rio looked at her, deadpan, and said: “Making fun of stupid people while I get drunk”

-

“How sweet! I think the bartender gave me her number” Death said, holding a piece of paper in her hand with a series of numbers written on it. “I’ve never had anyone give me their number before. Do you think I should call her?”

“Do you have a phone?” asked Rio. Any answer she may have wouldn’t matter if Death couldn’t even call this person. 

“No, but I’m sure I could find one.” Death then seemed to remember something. Something which made her add: “But I probably shouldn’t. I’m having too much fun with you.”

 “Do you even have human urges now that you’re of them?”

“I do get hungry, and thirsty, and honestly I’m a bit tired- ohh you mean…”

“If you get horny.” Rio said dryly. 

“I think I did…a long time ago on a day like today. I don’t remember it very well but I was in another world. Krypton was the planet’s name if I recall.” It was eons ago before that world’s historic demise. A demise that occurred when Krypton’s red sun had courted the affection of Despair. “You’re not just asking because you want to get into my bikini are you?” 

Rio looked surprised in Death, not entirely expecting that answer. “What do you think?”

“I think that’s exactly why.” Death replied, pausing to think it over. 

-

It was now five o’clock and the duo found themself at the beach where this had all begun, deeply engaged in a discussion. “...I suppose they just see the end of something and not the beginning of something new.” Death said, lounging on her beach towel. “I still remember millions of years ago when there were songs that celebrated our gift. Because it was fine in the beginning. Dying and living were new things and people did them with the enthusiasm they always bring to new things.” There was something ancient in Death’s tone that betrayed her youthful appearance. The weight of gladly carrying a burden for eons. 

Rio’s demeanour shifted to something far less casual than it had been. “People act as if being born is something they should personally be proud of. But then they get upset when they die. They fear us. They dread us. They try to bargain with us.”

“Which is why all they really need is a kind word and a friendly face. Like they had in the beginning. The Sunless Lands are far away and the journey is hard. It’s easier with the company of a friend. If you think about it, the whole reason we even exist is to serve them.” 

Rio made an expression of the utmost scorn. “I serve no one.” She said with contempt at the mere notion. “I don’t care how scared they are as long as they take my hand. It’s my job to end things, not be their therapist. If they fear my gift, that's their problem. Not mine. If I took the time to comfort every sobbing spirit, souls would never stop piling up in the void.”

“It’s actually not so hard when you get the hang of things.” Death replied.

Rio was sick of talking now. She wanted to do some damage. “Why don’t we shut up and settle whose method is superior…”

“Alright you’re on!” Death happily agreed with a nod. 

Rio disappeared from where she’d been sitting. But it was hard to focus on that for long when, like Gabriel’s horn reckoning the Day of Judgement, thunder boomed in the distance. The sky darkened into a sort of green while foreboding clouds rolled in from what appeared to be west. With them they carried a wind as fierce as a hurricane. Lightning crackled and struck the once calm ocean which had since grown into a tumultuous tempest. The waves grew to a size that could swallow the mightiest of ships whole. The serene beach was no more. 

Watching the chaos unfold, the extent of a reaction from Death was her realizing the sunglasses she was wearing were now rather pointless in the face of such delightfully gloomy weather and so she took them off. “The theatrics might work on mortals, but you’re gonna have to try a lot harder than that.” She said with a smile in her tone. 

“Oh I know. I’m just setting the mood…” Rio replied emerging behind Death and then shoving her down against the beach towel. As Death collapsed, a deafening roar of thunder echoed across the sky. 

Death smirked as she looked up at Rio, the woman’s face briefly flashing into the shape of a skull under the illumination of a lightning bolt. Doing nothing to resist just yet, she laid back patiently as Rio slowly crept over her body with the primal grace of a predator and roughly pinned her left arm above her head. 

From the air itself, Rio’s dagger returned to her right hand. There was something conductor-like in how she twirled it in her grasp, feeling the weight of it. Then, with a maniacal look in her wide dark brown eyes, she plunged the knife downwards into the center of Death’s chest. It was due to an exceptional level of skill that the blade didn’t cut deep into her flesh and bone. Instead the sharp tip only rested against her pale white skin as Rio cut through the center of Death’s pitch-black bikini top. The fabric parted just marginally faster than Death’s legs. 

“So is this how you treat all of the souls you collect?” Death quipped, feeling the cold Autumn air against her now bare breasts as they tumbled free from their tight confinement. Her nipples stood erect, nearly as sharp as knives. 

Rio’s dark lips parted a little more, revealing a mad skeletal grin. “Only the ones I really like.” She said in a husk voice. 

Death gazed into Rio’s eyes. At how they seemed to devour light like two black holes. It was an eternal darkness, primordial and hungry, that entranced her.

Tossing the dagger away until she needed it again, Rio ran the tip of her index finger over the seam of Death’s bikini bottoms at her inner thigh and watched as the goth’s eyes fluttered momentarily. Death gripped the ground. "If this is the kind of fight you’re going to put up, we might as well say I’ve won.” Rio taunted, petting the tender skin beneath her fingers.

Death didn't say anything, she just swallowed heavily and continued to gaze into her other’s crazed gaze. Rio trailed her finger across the fabric to Death’s other thigh, brushing her pussy on the way. Death let her eyes shut, hitching her breath a little while Rio continued to tease, running her finger lightly across her crotch which had just a tiny layer of sleek black fabric over it. Death made a little noise and opened her legs a bit wider.

Rio grinned at what seemed like the world’s easiest victory. She ran her fingertip down the middle of Death’s bikini bottoms, creating a crease in the fabric in between her pussy lips. Death bit down on her bottom lip. Rio noticed and started to draw circles over the tiny raised bump that she knew would eventually send her over the edge. 

Death grinned. “I should probably warn you that things don’t end well for those who sleep with the Endless.” 

“I’ll take my chances.” Rio hushed her, taking her index and middle fingers and sliding them through the side of the fabric, making contact with the warm skin underneath. Death let out a tiny moan as the fingers rhythmically caressed her. She could feel the wetness on her lips and trembled when Rio’s finger began to slide over her clit. She was pressing down and letting up, applying pressure at the exact perfect place to send shocks through her body.

The rise and fall of Death's chest as she took in staggered breaths quickened as sped up the pace of her movements, her fingers sticky and wet. Death began to writhe slightly, her leg muscles tightening, toes clenching in the warm sand. She was letting out little breathy moans as Rio rubbed harder. She could feel the sensation building at every nerve underneath her skin. 

Rio pushed down, sliding her finger roughly over the swollen nub of skin. She wiggled her finger over Death’s clit, deepening the pressure more and more, slickening her fingers so they slid effortlessly across her soaked pussy. With each noise that Death let escape from her lips, Rio could tell she was close. Her finger now moved quicker than before with a motion that made her whole arm move along with it. Rising and closer to climax, Death was abruptly denied the explosive conclusion that she sought. 

But she hardly harboured any hard feelings about it. Instead she threw her right arm around Rio’s neck and pulled her in close so that their faces met. Laying a kiss upon the corpse-like lips of her other, they melted into one another’s embrace. Death’s lips were soft and tasted sweet. Rio’s were hard and cracked, harbouring a strangely addictive earthy note. Their tongues danced in each other’s mouths in fierce competition. The Green Witch kissed like she was trying to eat her alive. She bit, dragging her sharp teeth over Death’s bottom lip until she was drawing blood. Their noses mashed together awkwardly, and Death fought for breath. When their faces broke apart, she could taste her own blood in her mouth and feel it running down her chin. 

“Well that was a little uncalled for.” Said Death cheerily, not truly all that concerned. 

“What, is Death of the Endless herself scared of a little cut?” Rio leaned closer, her breath cold against Death’s lips, and tongue flicked out, quick and precise, to lap at a faint nick where the bite had gone too deep. A single scarlet bead welled up, bright against the pallor of Death’s dark lips, and Rio claimed it. Her saliva glistened as it met the wound. It burned, a sharp, tingling warmth laced with the green spark of her essence. Death’s touch turned healer and the cut sealed itself in an instant, the sting fading. “All better.” She mockingly coddled.

And then their legs tangled together until they were interlocked. It was Death who made the first move this time. She rolled her hips up and the friction made them both gasp, and suddenly they were moving again. Bare from the waist before each other, cunt to cunt. As close together as they could get. Death grinded up. Rio grinded down. A shift in position of the legs, and all of a sudden they were moving as one. Where Rio took what she wanted by rigid force, Death did so with a calm fluidity. 

Even in the storm, the sounds of their heavy breaths and the slick sounds of their moving together seemed to stand out. Every small movement made Rio ache from her core, and even more so when Death pulled her downwards by the hips, thrusting harder against her. The push and pull against one another burned hot inside of Rio’s cold body. She gripped her thighs tighter around the other woman, increasing the pressure between them. She was so wet now that the grind was almost too easy, Rio gripping them both for friction while Death was slick underneath her, her white skin turned pink, her full breasts heaving. 

Death knew just what would excite Rio even more and so she asked between moans: “So, Lady Death, if you could die…how would you want to go?”

Expectedly that was the exact kind of topic that made Rio’s black heart skip a beat and she felt a sort of heat build between her legs as she grew even wetter. “Impalement…” She moaned. “...death by penetration."

A small shift in angle made it so that Death’s clit grinded against the bottom of Rio’s mound with every downwards movement. It was almost enough to tip her over the edge. Death sped up her thrusts so that she was almost bouncing in the other woman’s lap, pushing against Rio as Rio pushed against her. 

“Not bad…” Death nodded. “...I think I would like to die somewhere nice. Surrounded by friends and family.”

Rio looked at her like that was the grossest sentence she’d heard in eons. “You disgust me.” Rio flattered. 

Death grinned. She wanted to bring Rio to her own peak before she came herself, but it was like a losing battle. Truthfully, she could have probably won if she was really trying, but she mostly just wanted to have fun. There was a sharp stinging sensation in her breast, and it took a moment to realise Rio had taken one hand off her waist to flick her nipple, and the pain sent a shock up her spine. The other woman flicked the same sore spot again but Death didn’t tip over the edge yet.  Rio was the first to cum, grinding against Death’s too-sensitive pussy for a few more torturous moments, before gasping and releasing herself.

“That was a lot of fun!” Death said breathily, pale body slick with sweat despite the storm around them. She didn’t yet move to break their position, finding the sensation of their naked bodies together quite nice. 

But Rio didn’t stay entwined long. Instead she vanished in a cloud of darkness and then reappeared standing at Death’s feet now adorned in a gnarled crown of green and nothing else besides. She stood proud, back straight, body still, like a statue in a forgotten garden. The flesh of her lower jaw was missing now, or, to be more precise, the skin there seemed to cling tightly to her bone in such a manner that it seemed as if they were one. “Oh that was just round one, baby.” She said in a malevolent voice that didn’t come from her body. Its source lay all around, carried in the tumultuous winds. 

In her right hand Rio gripped the handle of a scythe like a staff.  

Death raised her brow quizzically, attempting to determine whether they were bringing toys into this now or did Rio just really like holding her stick. “Scythes and skulls are a little cliche, don’t you think?” She teased. 

“Said the goth girl whose life centers around death.” Rio fired back, hurt that anyone dared insult her scythe.

Death shrugged. “Touché”

Rio approached and then held the blunt bottom of the scythe up to Death mouth expectantly. Death gladly wrapped her lips around it, wetting it. The handle was smooth, worn down by use, without a bump or crack to complain of. 

Rio pulled the handle from Death’s throat and positioned it between her legs. The scythe hilt wasn’t terribly thick, but it was solid and unyielding and when Rio pushed it inside her, Death’s mouth opened in a silent yell. But her hips grinded down, trying to take more of the object into herself, and Rio happily obliged. She thrusted shallowly, appreciating the way that she could hear the other woman’s wetness with every movement, and the way that Death was now biting at her lips, trying not to cry out. Rio gave the scythe an experimental twist.

Death gasped as she was filled, fingers curling in the sand underneath her. Rio pulled back a little and thrust in again. And again. And again. Death dug her nails into Rio’s sides, encouraging her.

Rio sped up her thrusts, pushing the hilt inside her fast and deep through her soaking wetness and relishing the way it makes Death rocks her hips to match each thrust. The sight and the sounds of it all made her all too aware of how wet she was herself. She gripped Death’s hair, pinning it to the ground. She leaned down closer to her, panting, the ever-present smirk still playing at her cold-dead lips. She pushed against her vagina’s shuddering, forcing the handle deeper, grinding her crotch against it in fevered, dragging circles. The bark of it pressed into Rio’s thigh as her thrusts became sloppier and sloppier, but she hardly seemed to notice, even as her blood dripped down onto Death’s skin.

When the handle was pushed inside Death, it certainly hurt. She felt herself clench around the strange object even though part of her wanted to squirm away from the intrusion. At some point the ache became tinged with something else. It still hurt, but now the hurt was edging out against the sparks of pleasure that the other woman was beginning to wring from her.  Death found herself rolling her hips in time with Rio’s movements, which she took as encouragement to fuck her harder, and Death didn’t object. Sweat ran down her back beneath her, and distantly she heard herself moaning. 

A final twist of the hilt, and Death gave another yell, strangely melodic. She slumped back against the ground, breathing heavily. 

But now that Rio had gotten it out of her system, Death found it only appropriate that she take her turn now. At once, the sun broke through the veil of darkness cast by Rio’s presence and light itself once more flowed upon the beach. The tempest steadied. The wind slowed. Everywhere the storm had wrought destruction was once more made tranquil. 

As rough as Rio had been, Death was gentle in equal measure. Every move she made was delicate and precise. The way her hands softly caressed Rio's chest would have sent a chill down Rio’s spine if the woman had the capability to feel anything but the cold nature of her own existence. 

Death gently pushed Rio onto her back and straddled her hips, grinning down at the look on Rio’s face. Before Rio could say anything, Death leaned down and kissed her again. Just as sweet as before. Rio didn’t hesitate to cup both of Death’s breasts. They fit so perfectly in her grasp and Death made such delicious little moans when Rio squeezed. 

Death broke the kiss, leaving Rio breathless (if she’d actually needed to draw breath that was), and she ducked down, pressing her lips to the tops of each breast. She glanced up at Rio’s face and she was met with such sheer lust in her gaze, fueling her on to press a hard, biting kiss to one breast, making Rio cry out. Lady Death’s tits were perky and gorgeous, her nipples hard and pale pink. She leaned back in, licking over one nipple, then sucking hard. She could feel Rio's hands in her hair, pulling, and she could hear the soft, rasping sounds she made. 

When Death slowly dragged her teeth over Rio’s nipple, Rio moaned even louder. She licked over each nipple, then pulled back to enjoy the sight of the rosy buds hardened by her touch. Rio looks positively overwhelmed with lust. Which spurred Death to lean back in, licking and sucking at one nipple while pinching the other between two fingers. With every suck, Rio made breathless little sounds, and with every bite, she moaned loudly. 

Death sucked another mark into the side of each breast, and then she ventured downwards. With a kiss to Rio’s lower stomach she sought permission to venture upon the reaper’s sex. Permission she was granted when Rio spread her legs and wrapped them tightly around Death’s shoulders. Death’s face was then lost to sight as she nuzzled it against Rio’s pussy and began to lick. 

Rio’s rasps were horrific to hear, a series of short, laboured, death rattles. Like the simple act of drawing breath was excruciatingly difficult to manage. The feeling of Death’s warm tongue pressing lightly against her womanhood at first and then growing in excitement and fervour made Rio writhe in ecstasy upon the sand. Her mind was cast to somewhere dark and barren. 

Death took her task with great care, determined to assure Rio enjoyed the experience as much as possible. And so her tongue lapped away between the folds of her fellow embodiment of the end of all things and she took great pleasure in how each lick seemed to make Rio’s dire gasps grow in intensity until they were mournful, harrowing, death cries which echoed across the barren beach.

She reached up to steady Rio’s hips, while licking her way into the other's pussy. Sucking, licking, lapping. The juices tasted oddly ambrosial. Inhuman. But it had been ages since Death had eaten anyone out so she figured maybe it always tasted like that. Rio moaned above her, and Death switched her focus entirely to Rio’s clit, until the other woman's thighs shook and Death dragged her teeth over her clit. 

Rio moaned louder in the throes of pleasure, her cries of ecstasy accompanied by thunder in the distance, and ground against Death's face, smearing fluids from Death’s forehead down to her chin until Rio wailed like a banshee, pussy clenching and fluttering, hips stuttering over Death’s face. 

Who exactly had won their game was unclear.

The sun began to set over a serene beach, painting the sky in the deepest of purples and most brilliantly fiery oranges. Death and Rio sat side by side, Death upright with her arms around her knees and Rio lounged back, as they took each atom of the moment in. All was quiet and, it seemed that for just a moment, creation itself had stopped to watch the sun part over the horizon. As day turned to night, the sounds of nature gradually returned. At first it was only the sound of the slow, gentle waves returning to the sea. And then the soft blow of the wind. The air was once again warm and now smelled of bonfires and seafoam. 

With the last pale light sinking below the expanse of the west, Death breathed in deep. And then she coughed. Rio looked at her, recognising the sound of it immediately. They both knew it better than anyone. It was a sort of cough that originated from deep within and whose exhalation stole off with just a little bit of life, growing in intensity and frequency until nothing was left. It was the cough of the dying. For the briefest of moments a deep sadness showed itself in Death’s eyes that said more than words ever could. It was a longing to experience that which would not be, and possibly the most human feeling of them all: the longing for more time. But she didn’t linger there long. With the warmest smile in creation, Death accepted her own mortality and the light in her shone once more. “I had a lot of fun with you today.”

“You liked being proven wrong?” Rio asked, teasingly. She’d enjoyed the serenity of their day far more than she would have thought but she wasn’t about to admit it. Besides, it wasn't as if they both didn't already know that. 

Death’s form felt impossibly weak as she struggled to keep her body upright. Still, her cheery demeanour remained. “Me losing our game is debatable, but no. I mean the whole thing. The good parts, and the bad parts, and the dull parts…” 

“...and the painful parts.” Rio added. 

Death beamed. “Precisely! It’s all part of life and it’s wonderful! I think it’s so easy to forget why what we do matters.” She coughed again. “You asked me earlier why I chose to holiday here, and honestly I don’t have a reason. It’s just peaceful and quiet but there’s so much life all around. In the skies, in the sands, in the sea. I like it a lot.” Her eyes never seemed to stop marvelling at the world in front of her. “You have to admit that it's a bit nice, isn’t it?”

“It would be improved if this was a beach of bones and a sea of blood, but…yes.” Rio said flatly before abruptly asking: “Why are you doing this?” The idea of choosing to become mortal just to die was absolutely bizarre to her. “You’re not still trying to prove some point, are you?”

“Oh no of course not.” Death chuckled. “As I said earlier, I’ve been doing this one-day-a-century thing for quite awhile now. It helps me know what it’s like to be one of them. How can I really understand what it’s like to die if I haven’t lived? Just this time you showed up and we spent the whole day together.”

“So you reap yourself. That sounds fun. Maybe I should try that sometime.” Rio sarcastically commented, wondering what the sensation would be like. She was fairly sure she couldn’t bring herself to life (and then collect herself) like her counterpart could. Which did annoy her to an extent. To put it into a comprehensible comparison for mortal readers, it was like learning Death could masturbate and she couldn’t. 

“Take this. It’s for Mad Hettie.” Death handed Rio the Russian Nesting Doll she’d taken from the bar. Rio gave it an amused look and then set it aside. 

Death’s coughs grew raspier, more strained. “Hey can you imagine what it would’ve been like if I died of a heart attack while you still had your scythe in me?” She joked.

Rio genuinely cackled at that, finding the idea absolutely hilarious. It was one of the funniest things she’d been told in centuries. “There might still be time for that…minus the heart attack.”

But there wasn’t. The sun had now sunken out of sight and overhead the glow of stars danced. An infinity of life and death stretching farther than any human could comprehend. Death looked up, recognising each and every one. She still had about a billion more things she wanted to say and do. And while she knew a version of herself would have plenty of time, this version of herself would not. And so, not wasting time, she said what mattered: “Underneath it all, you’re pretty ok, Rio. I hope things work out with that ex of yours.” Death’s own death was fast approaching now and so she stood up and spread her arms wide as if to embrace the world itself. “This was wonderful. Thanks for spending the day with me.” She said tiredly. 

Bathed in the glow of the full moonlight, she breathed in deep. Her body surrendered to the inevitable. And in that moment she slipped away.

———————————————————————————————

Death’s body lay stiff upon the sand, eyes shut in eternal rest. What little pallor she had was now completely drained, leaving her a pale husk of a woman. It was strange to see her body rendered silent and without her trademark smile painted upon her black lips. Rio wasn’t deeply affected by her loss but it still was odd to see her friend, the only other universal concept who understood her, dead like the mortals she inevitably came for. Although it meant little, she rested a few flowers, bright and blooming in the twilight, upon Death’s chest before rising to a stand. 

“Poor love. She only gets a day every hundred years. Doesn't ever get any easier.” Said an aged voice a little down the shore. “Did she give you anythin’ before she died?”

Rio looked down at the Russian Nesting Doll and handed it to Mad Hettie. “I thought she was just pacifying you if I’m being honest.”

“Ah well y’know Death’s a bleedin’ heart.” Hettie replied while taking hold of the doll and cherishing it with a hug. “There you are. Oh I knew she'd find her. Me heart. This was me Cordelia’s. Me baby.” If it isn’t obvious, her heart isn’t literal but rather something she found irreplaceable and precious. “I wasn't Mad Hettie back then, of course. They called me Henrietta. And I lived in a fine house. Long time ago now. All gone. I suppose I'd better hide you again. If she'd stuck around, I could have asked her where to put it where no one would think of looking.”

Rio liked the woman. She was utterly mad and she could appreciate that in a person. It seemed only right to ponder the question for a moment before leaning in close and whispering her idea into Hettie’s ear. The thought made the old woman smile and then they parted ways. 

———————————————————————————————

Death, or at least the woman in her image who’d lived a day on Earth, awoke in a place beyond time and reason. A point between the world of the living and the world of the dead where the world was stopped in a single blissful moment of night on the beach. Here things were peaceful in a manner that transcended reason. 

“So that was it.” A gentle, soothing voice said from behind. Death turned around to see herself standing there, dressed in a pair of black jeans, boots, a tank top, a leather jacket, and atop her head was placed a whimsical tophat. She bore the sweetest smile in existence on her face.  “How was it?”

“Oh it was wonderful! It was filled with people. I got to breathe and eat and…all sorts of stuff. I wish it could have gone on forever. I wish it didn’t have to end like that…”

Death, the embodied force of it rather than the human incarnation, looked at her with a  calmness. “It always ends. That’s what gives it value. When you get to be alive, even for a day…well there’s only one way to stop living.”

“I suppose so.” 

“Was it worth it?”

“I-I don’t know. I think so. I hope so. I wish it could have gone on forever. It just goes so fast. You want to hang on to every second. And you'd give anything for just one more.”

“Take my hand.” Death extended her hand and her mortal self took it. They became one again, like a wave returning to the sea. The world between life and death faded, like a dream being washed away by the beginning of a new dawn. The last sound that echoed as this state of limbo fell away for the Sunless Lands was the sound of her wings. 






Notes:

This story is pretty stand-alone from the Raft series and only barely connects to my usual prison themes, but I hope you enjoyed! I really tried to assure that it felt just as much about Death from the Sandman (with a myriad of references to the source material) as Rio while also familiarising readers with the Sandman mythos. I had a lot of fun comparing and contrasting these two cosmic forces and really getting to flesh Rio out beyond busy being a spooky witch.

Chapter 42: The Widow’s Intent

Summary:

In this chapter, Natasha Romanoff’s realisation of just how deep her feelings for Wanda go forces her to confront how far she’ll go to get her way.

Chapter Text

Ever since coming to the Raft, Natasha had observed the worst of humanity come out of the women inhabiting the prison. The reprehensible cruelties created by those with truly sick imaginations were omnipresent, a never-ending cycle of abuse and rape perpetuated by animals who raged against their life in a cage by torturing whoever they could. This place was hellish, and yet Natasha had never truly felt daunted by this world. Upon being led shackled into a life of incarceration, most were initially shaken by the departure from the sanity of the outside world, the surface world, but most of Nat’s life had been spent in the dark, grimy, hidden-away underbelly that the world tried to ignore. Prison wasn’t truly any different than the one that lay beyond what the barred windows overlooked. Business was made through human-trafficking, drugs, and underground dealings so the cruel could thrive off the weak. People were prey who served as cogs in a brutal machine and the ones who were supposed to protect them dined with the predators – when they weren’t the predators themselves. The only difference about prison was that here people didn’t try to hide their dark nature. Sooner or later, a life behind bars made everyone break down into their worst self. 

But this wasn’t pessimism, it was realism. Because how could anyone be optimistic if they didn’t truly understand the situation that they were in? One day the world would need its heroes and the Accords would inevitably be repealed, but she had to survive until then. From day one, Natasha fought to avoid experiencing the deeper horrors of prison; forging a gang and capitalizing on her status as Avenger when she first entered. Now she was simply able to maintain an emotional distance from the horrible circumstances that surrounded her (as well as the inhumane actions she had committed and caused others to commit). 

Ever since Natasha was a child she was practically a professional at easily switching her feelings off. The one person who had made things difficult was Yelena, Natasha's solitary weakness since arriving here. She knew that caring for someone made her weak, but she thought her younger sister was an exception to the norm. Because she, like Natasha, was trained as an assassin, their unbreakable bond strengthened both of them. Natasha understood that if something happened to her, Yelena would avenge her, and vice versa, creating an atmosphere of untouchability for both women. She expected no one could hurt Yelena. Which may have been foolish, but it was how she felt. 

One thing she hadn’t accounted for was Kate Bishop. The archer's entrance into the prison had radically altered the dynamic between her and her sister. She now had to defend not just Yelena, but also Kate. And Kate, who was not specially trained to the extent that granted survival in a place as harsh as the Raft, not tactful, and was, quite frankly, a bit of an idiot. But a likable idiot.

Natasha didn’t think Kate would have made it through her first week without Yelena, and that was exactly the problem. Yelena was entirely blind to the grave she was digging for herself with the shovel named Kate Bishop, and Natasha had no way of interfering, not because she didn’t want to, but because Yelena was deaf to her complaints. For the first time, Natasha was in over her head. She was juggling trying to keep her and Yelena alive, running a gang, dealing with gang politics and all the nightmares that came with it, attempting to keep Wanda Maximoff from acting like a raving lunatic, and now she also had to worry about trying to keep Kate Bishop alive. On top of all of that, aside from her sister, there was no one in this prison she could truly trust or care about. And even though she didn’t want to admit it, even though the manifestation of the thought was embarrassing, Natasha Romanoff had realised she felt lonely.

Natasha, as she often did when she felt down, had adopted her father's advice to gaze outward rather than inward, trying to not focus on her own fears and inadequacies. This was a healthy habit for a spy, and Natasha found herself rejecting Pepper more frequently and spending more and more time alone, slinking around the hallways of the prison freely as a gang leader could, using the crowds to spy on anybody she could find. It was almost juvenile, but hearing about everyone's difficulties and secrets made her feel better and more connected to the prison population than she had in years. She quickly found out more than a fair share of things. Sharon Carter had been recently apprehended and now found herself as HYDRA’s new favourite toy. Sylvie Laufeydottir had curiously begun doing business with the Galaxy Gals again. And one of the inmates, Melissa Gold, had gone missing – presumed dead. The intel was not important or usable in any way, but Natasha found herself recounting the happenings of the day to herself before bed and when she woke up. 

Having noticed a change in Natasha’s behaviour, Pepper Potts was concerned. She’d been a bitch long enough to pick up on small changes in whoever commanded her for the day to know what to do and when to behave, and she didn't like the change in Natasha one bit. An outsider could confuse her concern for care, but it was just self-preservation. She hated being a bitch, but she also liked the protection Nat offered. 

During one of the morning showers, Pepper accompanied Nat to one of the very few semi-private shower stalls that stood at the far wall of the communal space. In the dark shadows of the walls and the shitty shower curtain, the moment was quite intimate. Their bare bodies touched in the steamy enclosed space as the lukewarm water began to spray, leaving watery beads rolling down their skin. 

Pepper wasn’t shy in expressing just how much she hated the acts expected from her (even the ones that weren’t inherently sexual), and shower hour was no exception to the rule. Stood closely behind the Black Widow in such a manner that her breasts rubbed against Nat’s spine, Pepper had a completely unamused expression on her face as she sighed and rubbed the chemical-scented bar of soap in her hand against her prison mommy’s shoulders. Normally she would have complained by now and it would be met with Natasha finding some way to punish her, but Natasha’s mood as of late was unsettlingly apathetic. It was like she wasn’t even present. 

Watching the soap lather, forming a trail of bubbles as it rubbed in circles, Pepper abruptly asked: “Is everything ok?” She regretted asking immediately but it was too late to take it back. 

Natasha let out a breathy chuckle. “What?” The question was so unexpected she wondered if she’d even heard it correctly.

“It’s just that…” Pepper began to wonder why she was still talking. She should have been celebrating Natasha’s disinterest in her. They hated each other after all. But, despite how stupid it probably was, she persisted. “...well normally you want me to do certain…things…but you haven’t made me do them in a while.”

“Are you complaining, Potts?” Natasha answered in her playful but fake tone. She cursed herself for being so noticeably different in her behaviour that even Pepper Potts of all people noticed. 

Pepper couldn’t help but scoff. “No. But I’ve been complaining and you haven’t said anything. That’s not normal for you.” Usually her day started between Nat’s thighs. Today she was simply background noise. 

Natasha felt beads of sweat on her forehead from the moisture in the air but also from being caught. “How do you know what’s normal for me?” She snapped. “I expect you to respect me.” She turned around, her face inches from Pepper. She bit her lip, her thoughts so far away from anything sexual right now, but wanting to show Pepper that she was fine. “Now, since you’re so eager to do your job, how about you shut the fuck up and get to it!” She forcefully pushed Pepper down to her knees and spread her legs so Pepper could reach.

Pepper whined as her face contorted into a grimace. Her stomach knotted in disgust at the view of Nat’s sex shoved directly in her face. Eating other women out was easily one of the worst aspects of incarceration. Knowing she would have to lick the still currently unwashed crotch of the Avenger, she immediately regretted saying anything. “Nevermind. Forget I said anything!” She said hastily, attempting to pull away but finding that Natasha’s grip on her red hair was really tight.

Natasha’s knuckles turned white as she held Pepper in place, waves of anger and embarrassment washing over her. She never liked being vulnerable, but specifically being seen as emotional in front of Pepper Potts was something that she never wanted to happen.

She tried to clear her head and stop focusing on her problems, but for some reason she couldn’t shake it. She felt bored as Pepper repeated the motions she had done a billion times before and was tempted to ask her to stop. But that would only make her seem more off, so she decided to fake it instead. She let out soft moans, having practised this countless times before. Back when her encounters were far more straight. 

The shitty shower curtain didn’t do much to contain whoever was inside the private stalls, nor did it help cover up the sounds. It was normal to hear the sounds of two girls ravenously fucking each other coming from this corner of the showers. At this moment in time, the curtain shifted slightly as Pepper moved her ass back, opening the scene of the non-private showers more for Natasha’s to see. 

She saw the women showering beyond, a room full of dirty convicts luxuriating beneath the shower heads; Felicia Hardy was being soaped-up by Liz, while Mary Jane Watson ate her out, and Gwen and Michelle made-out; Elektra shoved a bar of soap into Karen Page’s mouth and now had her fist up the reporter’s ass; Ava Starr and Antonia Dreykov shared Darcy Lewis between them, the two assassins passing her back and forth as they got to know each other; and Mattie Franklin and Cassandra Webb washed Vanessa Fisk. Natasha boredly admired their bodies, until she let her eyes fly over the floor towards familiar feet and ankles and legs revealing the toned but slightly bruised and worse for wear body of Wanda Maximoff. 

Natasha had seen Wanda naked before, after all both women had spent enough time in the Raft to know all the inmates intimately, but for some reason Natasha found herself studying Wanda under a different light. She looked at the damp locks of long auburn hair that framed her perky breasts, which were adorned in hickies. The witch’s stomach and thighs, soft and dripping with soap from the showers. Natasha let out a breath as she felt excitement pooling in her own lower stomach and then elicited a real moan as Pepper was still trying her utter best to please her mistress.

Her eyes drank up the sight of Wanda standing under the shower, being unknowingly watched by the assassin. Something about her not realising what Natasha was doing made it even more exciting. It should have felt wrong, not only because she was perving on the witch without her permission, but because Natasha had always viewed her as a friend, albeit a pathetic one that she couldn’t help in this place. She was getting really into whatever Pepper was doing, arching her back to give her better access as the beads of sweat ran down her forehead and rested on her upper lip. She could feel herself getting close and took another peek when suddenly her vision of Wanda was obscured by two other bodies. 

The pale, perfectly ethereal Emma Frost and, of course, Jean Grey. Walking side by side, they approached the witch. What they said couldn’t be made out over the hiss of water and moans emanating from throughout the room, but the actions on display said more than enough. Nose turned, and quite literally looking down at Wanda Maximoff, Emma snottily raised a bar of soap and waved it in front of the witch’s face. Emma just seemed to perpetually emanate the air of someone who believed they were superior to everyone else. With a flippant wave of her hand, she dropped the bar of soap in front of Wanda and then, judging by the way Wanda reluctantly bent down to grab it while trying to keep her butt against the wall, it was clear that Emma or Jean had told her to pick it up. 

With the tips of her fingers just barely straining against the slippery surface of the bar of soap, Wanda abruptly lost balance as she was shoved forwards by Jean – who assumed a stance behind the witch and leaned over her body so that her breasts pressed against Wanda’s back. Jean laid a kiss on the witch, but it was concealed by a thick curtain of dark her brilliantly red hair. Wanda’s chin was then gripped by Emma Frost, who uttered something before loosening her grasp, turning around, and spreading her legs so that Wanda’s face now was forced against her rear. 

Natasha’s first instinct was to intervene. She didn’t like having her moment ruined, nor did she enjoy the way the two women were treating the object of her sudden desire. Then she shook her head, getting out of the haze of horniness she had been in and really watched what was happening. A fire burned inside her chest, fueled by the scene unfolding. Was it anger? Jealousy?

She gripped Pepper’s head tightly and pushed her even harder into her crotch, wanting this to be over so she could leave. Pepper spluttered a word of protest but was quickly silenced. Natasha’s eyes burned as she saw Wanda being womanhandled, a mix of utter disgust and arousal battling inside her mind. 

Wanda now was being forced to lick Emma’s arse while, from behind, Jean played with her sex. The only consolation in this moment was that it was Jean in control and not the Phoenix, because by now the latter certainly would have shoved her fist up Wanda just to watch her squirm. Both of the mutants moaned while Wanda seemed too tired to resist the whims of her cruel prison mommies. She remained completely powerless against them. 

Meanwhile, Pepper, oblivious to everything, continued trying her best to get Nat over the edge already. If she was lucky she might even have enough time to wash herself before the water was shut off. Natasha’s moans continued, eventually she could bear the sight of Wanda’s torture no longer so she closed her eyes and found herself lewdly imagining The Scarlet Witch’s fingers pressing on her thighs instead, Pepper’s tongue hurriedly being replaced by Wanda’s. With this image in her head, a soft smirk played at Natasha’s lips, until it shifted to the horrible things that were going on with real Wanda. Natasha growled in frustration at her inability to shake the vision and pushed Pepper even harder against herself, her nails digging into Pepper’s scalp as her other hand found Pepper’s throat.

Pepper gagged, trying with all her might not to freak out. Despite having been down there more times than she could count since coming to prison, it never got any better. Natasha’s death grip on her neck was new however and she was confused and scared. She grew slack at the other woman’s brute strength, not knowing what to do and trying not to move.

Suddenly, there was a knock against the wall of the stall. “Natasha, you are taking forever. I will not make Kate Bishop wait any longer.” Called the voice of Yelena. She was more than comfortable with having sex in the middle of the communal section of the showers, but Kate insisted that it was uncomfortable doing it in front of everyone. Yelena thought it was romantic.

Snapped out of her fantasy and the moment, Natasha’s feeling of loneliness and frustration returned in tenfold. “Yeah just a minute.” Nat replied with an unsteady voice as she bucked her hips against Pepper’s face. Digging deep from the depths of when she once pretended to be straight, she craftily and hurriedly faked an orgasm, thankful the redhead between her legs was so checked out that she didn’t even seem to notice the difference. When that was done, she drew open the curtain and angrily stepped out and left the shower area without looking at Yelena and Kate, skillfully averting her eyes from the predicament Wanda now found herself in.

————————————————————— 

The rhythmic clanging of a pickaxe against stone and the shuffling of chains was heard in the depths of the caves the prisoners used for mining. The air was hot and claustrophobic, almost suffocating. Natasha, her hair still wet from the shower, worked with a mindless determination even as her bare feet ached against the rocky surface at the bottom of the cavern. 

“What the hell are you doing?” She murmured under her breath, her words covered by the sounds of hard labour. 

The scene that had unfolded in front of her had made a few things clear to the Widow. One, she needed to punish Pepper Potts, because the redhead sucked at doing her job. Two, Jean Grey and Emma Frost had to die. And three, she maybe had deeper feelings for The Scarlet Witch than she’d previously admitted to herself. 

She had always felt about Wanda like one feels about a sister, a teammate. Sure, she had felt protective of her. But after what she had done to Kate, Cassie and other inmates, it was hard to stick up for her at all. She had told Yelena she had a plan to help Wanda, but in reality it had been some bullshit advice to save her. And for what? What had Wanda ever done for Natasha? 

Would the witch not kill her on sight to get what she wanted? Did she even remember her and what they had been through?

Taking another swing harder, Natasha then paused to pinch the bridge of her nose in frustration. “What do you expect to do? Save her? Like a knight in shining armor?” She said to herself once more. Associating with Wanda meant not only hurting Yelena and Kate and betraying the sisterhood of her gang, it meant mingling herself in the affairs of powerful mutants that could take her out easily if it came to it. What was she supposed to do against the world’s greatest telepath, a demon-princess, and the vessel of a universal force?

“She doesn’t even care about you. She probably doesn’t even want your help.” Her own voice of reason, so much like her mother’s, frustrated Natasha. She shook her head in self disagreement. Of course Wanda cared about her. Hopefully.

The Game of Life. Natasha caught herself smiling at the memory of mere months ago, where for a brief glimpse of time her and the Scarlet Witch were not prisoners, but friends, reconnecting. Having watched Wanda from the moment she had entered the room, the comfort of her usual TV shows offering none that day. Her scrambling to connect with people, but receiving stares and cold shoulders from all around. It had been hard not to feel bad for Wanda. Back then, Natasha had realised that even though it had been years that felt like decades, Wanda was still that young lost girl the Avengers had picked up in Sokovia. Playing that game with Wanda felt like the first real moment in this prison in a long time. Natasha had no way of knowing that Wanda had been severely punished for their brief moment of happiness. She also had no way of knowing that playing the game with Natasha had been the best thing that had ever happened to Wanda in this prison. But what she did know is that she had seen Wanda smile. She had seen that this moment had been the first time Wanda had been treated like a person in a really, really long time.

“The Game of Life…Cruel, if you think about it.” Natasha mused out loud again. They both never had a chance to play the game. Not really, anyway. Cursed from the start. One, an assassin without a home. The other, an outcast, surrounded by loss. The redhead chuckled to herself ironically. “Doomed eternally.”

Somehow, it all seemed to click into place. The loneliness she had felt for days. The extreme feeling of jealousy at her sister’s successful relationship. The slow dust storm enveloping her entire being with a sense of depression, of something more than just being bored. She had no spark left inside of her to even care. This could be her cause. Her…goal. It could end badly, but at least she could say that she tried. She had no idea how she was going to do it, she might lose everything she had build up in this prison while doing it. Stubborn as she ever was and always had been as a hero and an Avenger, she nodded, talking to the stones on the grounds and the stoney walls around her, the only ones to hear her decisive conclusion.

“I’m gonna save the Scarlet Witch. Even if I die doing it.”

————————————————————— 

Hours later, Natasha’s mind was still spinning with her new plan as she made her way over to Maria Hill’s cell in the prison. After Natasha and Yelena, she was probably the most powerful person in their gang, well respected and a good ally and confidante to Natasha. There was a meeting planned between the higher ranking members and Natasha preferred not doing that in her own quarters. It was too personal and she didn't enjoy opening the doors to her private spaces to anyone. 

When she arrived in Maria’s cell, she nodded towards Maria who was on her bunk, her arms lazily strung around her girlfriend Bobbi Morse. Though Maria and Nathasa had history both inside and outside of this prison, they were now working together as if nothing had happened between them. Natasha trusted Maria, especially because of their history. But Maria didn’t enjoy the sexual advances and absurdities that automatically came with being a gang leader as much, so the women had parted ways romantically. Preferring a more classy and traditional relationship, she had been dating fellow S.H.I.E.L.D agent Bobbi for a couple of years now. 

As far as Natasha knew, they were exclusive, something she didn’t see often in the Raft. She respected Maria’s decision and was sometimes jealous of what Bobbi and her had, not because Maria didn’t choose her, but more because it seemed so nice to not have to worry about anyone but your partner. She shook her head as Wanda’s visage swam into her mind, knowing it was a fool’s errand to expect the same kind of dynamic from the witch. As far as Natasha knew, Vision had been the only person Wanda truly loved, and even though he was not necessarily considered a man in the traditional sense, it made sense for Wanda to be straight. The relationship with Jean was obviously not one built on love or mutual attraction. 

As a sapphic woman, Natasha was no stranger to the classic ‘straight girl crush’ phenomenon, so it was not hard for her to push her personal feelings for Wanda aside on this saviour mission she had gotten herself wrapped up in. As she got settled into the room she took the only chair in the cell and turned it around so she could lean her arms on the back of it and waited for Maria to begin the meeting, her mind admittedly absent and whirling. Antonia Dreykov entered, quietly making her way to the corner of the room and leaning against the wall, waiting. She rarely spoke in these meetings unless directly asked for her insight, much preferring to listen intently. 

With the small group gathered and it getting well beyond their usual meeting time, Natasha noted that Yelena was not present. Nor was Kate. She rolled her eyes knowingly at Maria, who smiled at her before getting up from her bed and calling for attention from the small gathering of women.

Even in prison Maria still carried herself like she was the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D, always very official and busy carrying a mental list of matters that needed to be brought to Natasha’s attention on a day to day basis. When Maria first arrived at the Raft it seemed like a completely alien world to the one she knew, but time and experience had taught her that it actually was exactly the same as the world on the outside. She was locked in with a bunch of egomaniacs who wanted to control what little they could and would stop at nothing to acquire power. Information was a weapon. It was always astounding just how fast she seemed to find out about issues within the gang and beyond. She was willing to do just about anything to assure the continued thriving of the Widows, owing her current position to Natasha protecting her during their early days of incarceration. On any given day she had a laundry list of information she’d acquired from her sources (guards and inmates alike). And today was no different. 

“Good news, Romanoff, it turns out Vanessa’s lackeys are planning on pushing a new drug this week. It would be a shame if someone were to tip one of the head guards off about that.” Maria Hill relayed in a tone just loud enough for the women in the cell to hear. Nat immediately perked up. Vanessa had been an issue for Wanda, which meant she was an issue for Nat. Ever since the witch had taken Cassie Lang, the Queenpins had wanted their property back and were just waiting for an opportunity to take her by force. It would be hard for them to focus on shivving Wanda when their product was sitting wherever all of the contraband was taken and their top members were sitting in solitary. “Good. That’s definitely good.” Natasha nodded, making a mental note. 

Initially, she wasn’t planning on telling anyone about her plan, not even Yelena. But that would have made it hard to do anything substantial about the situation, even as the capable spy she was. She realised she was scared of the reaction her plans would elicit from the others in her group. It was a stupid plan, which needed more planning before it could even be called one. It was a risk, not just for herself but the others too. She sat in silence, her mind turning over formulating a plan, as Maria continued with the gossip of the day, hearing nothing else substantial Natasha could use. When Maria was done talking, she sat down again and motioned for Natasha to take over the spotlight, and she did so by standing up from her chair and moving behind it, grasping the back of the chair for emotional support. 

“Ladies, I have something to share with you.” She started off, hating her unsteady voice. She knew she was never this serious until something bad happened and right now she felt like a mother calling up her daughter with the news that her grandma died. “It’s no secret that Wanda has been…a problem for a while now.” She avoided eye contact with anyone, instead focusing on the grooves of the floor. “I have been thinking...” She felt the anxiety constrict her throat and couldn’t continue speaking.

She looked up, right into the concerned stare of Maria, their eyes having a silent conversation in mere seconds. Before Natasha could proceed, Maria got up from her seated position. “I want everyone but me and Natasha to leave the room.”

Antonia nodded silently and then rose, not needing much of an excuse to leave. It was actually a relief to know that she could probably spend the rest of the day with Ava Starr. She departed first and then Bobbi followed but not before kissing Maria. With both women gone, that left only Maria and Nat in the cell. 

“Romanoff, you’re scaring me. You’re never this serious.” Maria said, a slightly playful but mainly concerned tone to her voice. “What happened?”

Natasha clicked her tongue, feeling exposed and extremely silly and naive looking back at her plan now. “It’s not that something has happened necessarily. Not yet, at least.” Her vague explanation did nothing to save the situation and she knew that. 

“Oh well I’m glad you’ve done nothing stupid yet, Agent.” Maria clasped her hands together in a mock applause. “But seriously, what’s up?”

Natasha rolled her eyes. “Well, as I said I’ve been thinking…” 

“A dangerous pasttime for you.” Hill teased, but motioned for her to continue.

“I want to save Wanda Maximoff. Which means we’d be fighting Jean.” Natasha said in brief, knowing that the very idea was completely absurd. 

Maria was quiet for some time, assessing her fellow agent with a discerning eye. “I don’t get it. Where’s the joke?”

“There is no joke.” Natasha said with a serious face. “I’m being real.”

Maria let out a sarcastic laugh. “Wow…no, I’m serious, wow.” She put her hand on Natasha’s forehead, as if feeling the temperature. “Hmm, not sick. Not a joke…”

Feeling embarrassed, Natasha nodded. “I realise it’s a risk.” She felt like a younger, fresh agent again, making mistakes and dumb plans that never would have worked. “I realise we need an actual good plan to pull this of. But that’s why I need you. I can’t do this alone but I need to do this.” 

“I’m with you no matter what.” Maria replied with the utmost severity, her words a vow. No longer joking around, she trusted Natasha enough to fight beside her despite whatever may come. 

“I wish you wouldn’t have said that. I wish you told me to fuck off, instead.” Natasha said with a soft smirk at the other woman’s loyalty. “But I thank you for your trust in me. I promise we will make this as safe and well planned out as it can be.” 

Maria nodded, the tension leaving the situation a little bit. “I just have one question. Well, I have a lot of them actually, but right now just the one. Why are we doing this?”

Natasha turned her back towards Maria. She could have lied without even a hint of insincerity. Saying it was good for the group, would make them more powerful if they controlled two gangs. Hell, she could even say she was bored and just wanted something to do. But after her friend and confidante basically pledged her undying fealty to her, she couldn’t do it.

“I think she deserves better. I can’t stand by any longer and watch her suffer at the hands of those bitches. I need…I need her with me. I don’t know why, or how. But I just know I can’t bear it within me any longer to know that she is in pain every day and knowing that I can do something to help. I know this prison, it’s a hellhole, okay? But…we have something going here. We have a safe bed, a warm family, and all the sex and rock and roll we want. It’s not so bad all things considered. We are powerful here. But she’s not. She’s trapped. She is…she isn’t doing well. I can see it in her eyes. And knowing what she is capable of…I think we have only a small window of time before she implodes in on herself…or tries to kill us all.” 

Maria didn’t respond. Instead, Natasha felt a warm hand on her shoulder and she brought her hand up to squeeze it. “Thank you.”

Maria pulled Natasha into a hug, something that was very out of character for both women and they quickly parted, awkwardly. 

”You know…I always liked that kid. Thought she had heart.” Maria winked. Both women laughed. “Sure, let’s do it. Let’s save the Scarlet Witch.”

————————————————————— 

After discussing the beginnings of a semblance of a plan, Natasha had gone off. The first step they were going to take was to make sure Wanda was okay. There was no point in doing anything if the target they were trying to save was lying dead in her cell. That being said, Natasha was making her way over to the kitchen, as during the day, this was where Wanda would probably be given that it was her job. It wasn’t dinner yet, but soon, so the witch was hopefully and most likely preparing the food. 

Natasha had her hands in her pockets as she casually made her way down the halls. She wasn’t that worried that anything had happened to Wanda yet, as she had seen her this morning and there had been no news of any attacks. The Queenpins were definitely going to make a move on Wanda soon, so Natasha was planning to ensure that the witch knew what was waiting for her if she kept the behaviour she was displaying up. 

As she neared the kitchen, the halls were suspiciously quiet, no music to be heard, which was the first sign that something was off. Then, as she got closer, a repeated banging and clanging was making its way down the hallway. Growing increasingly worried, Natasha picked up the pace and removed her hands from her pockets. It sounded suspiciously like a fight and she could only hope she would arrive in time to stop it. As she approached the doorway, she narrowly avoided a crunched up plastic dinner tray flying through the open space into the hallway, the loud clanging of it falling on the floor making the Widow jump. 

“What the…” 

The sound stopped at the sound of her voice. Not sure what was going on, Natasha peered around the doorframe cautiously, ready to dodge any other flying projectiles. 

Wanda was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by dozens of broken and snapped in half kitchen utensils, trays and other cooking supplies. A huge bag of flour was wildly swinging through the air, covering the floor and the serving bar with a layer of its contents. It looked like it had snowed in the kitchen and the fridge had been attacked by an angry chicken, eggs slowly dripping down it, the shells laying abandoned on the floor below it. 

“What the fuck are you doing?” Natasha said, fighting hard to suppress a laugh at the absurdity of the scene.

Wanda’s eyes snapped towards Natasha and her hand flew up, a not that menacing egg floating being launched in Natasha’s direction. Skillfully sidestepping the humble attempt at an attack, Natasha crossed her arms. “You having fun?” She was honestly so relieved to see Wanda alive, that she found the whole thing funny and a little adorable.

“Go away.” Wanda whispered, her bloodshot eyes not even seeming to realise it was Natasha. Her fingers were trembling.

“What’s going on?” Natasha said, the smile faltering and being replaced with a concerned look. “Are you okay?”

Nostrils flaring, Wanda launched another egg at her, it making a soft splat sound as it hit the wall behind Natasha.

“Can you stop throwing eggs at me and just tell me what happened?” 

“They took…they took my kitchen duty again.” Wanda mumbled, her hair, also covered in flour and egg falling in front of her face. “I punished that disrespectful bitch as every other member of this fucking prison does to their subordinates but no I’m not allowed to do that so now I can’t cook anymore.” Wanda’s eyes flared red again and she snapped another food tray in half.

“Okay, let’s stop breaking things. It’s not gonna help your case.” Natasha took a tentative step forwards, feeling a little ridiculous as if she was comforting a child. A child that could snap her neck if she wanted to, but still.

For the first time, Wanda seemed to realise it was Natasha who had entered her kitchen and the witch smiled a very small smile. “Oh, it’s you.”

“Yeah, it’s me. Now calm down, please. I wanted to talk to you.” Natasha looked around the mess that Wanda had made, looking for a place to sit down so she could talk to her without coming across as threatening. In the end, she shoved a bunch of broken trays off of the counter and hopped up on it, leaning back on her arms as she studied Wanda curiously. 

“I didn’t mean to throw those eggs at you.” Wanda said lamely, crossing her arms in a protective manner. “I was just mad.”

“Eggs aren’t really the worst thing people have thrown at me in this place. I’m fine.” Natasha tried to calm Wanda down before opening up the next can of worms. “I’m sorry they took your kitchen duty. Guess you’ll just have to spend your cooking talents elsewhere.”

Wanda shuddered and she looked down at her bare feet. “It’s not fair. I did nothing wrong.”

Feeling unsure how to proceed, Natasha cleared her throat awkwardly. “Listen, Wanda. I realise you are…not in a good place right now. I came to check on you because honestly…I don’t know how to put this, but you’re in danger. More than usual in this place, I mean. Maybe you realise you are, maybe you don’t care, but for old times sake, I just wanted to warn you.”

Wanda’s brow furrowed. “Danger? Why?”

“Well…you’re kind of hurting a lot of people. I don’t know what happened for you to start lashing out…but it’s putting you in danger. You realise that right?”

Letting out a soft chuckle, Wanda wiped a smear of flour from her arm. “I don’t care.”

Starting to feel frustrated at Wanda’s carelessnes, Natasha sighed. “I’ve been where you are, you know. I was trained to hurt people, I didn’t care who it was that I hurt or why. I carry that guilt inside me every day.” She swallowed hard. “Based on everything I know about you, I don’t think you’re being honest to yourself when you say you don’t care. That’s not how I know you, Wanda. You’re a survivor.”

Natasha knew she had touched a nerve because Wanda started sniffling softly. She really hadn’t wanted to make her cry. “I’m sorry. I’m just saying…I know you didn’t mean to hurt Cassie.” Natasha whispered softly. She could visibly feel the temperature of the room change and swallowed heavily, unable to read Wanda’s expression beneath the curtain of hair in front of her face. “Right?”

“I did.” Wanda said, her voice growing darker. “I did mean to hurt her. But she was looking for a fight. I only gave her what she wanted and she didn’t like the results.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes. She hadn’t ever heard Wanda talk this way. “I don’t think that’s true. Did you know that Cassie is Scott’s daughter, the guy that grows and shrinks. Our colleague…our friend.”

“I know…and what I’ve done to her is merciful in comparison to what I would have done to her if she wasn’t. I have been nothing but reasonable, but she tested my patience. Would you let a lying, scheming, brat get away with trying to intimidate you?” Wanda was often delusional, but now she was well at home within the realm of outright delirium. Her madness had become her truth. It didn’t matter if literally every single detail about Cassie screamed in defiance of her perception. She was set upon needing an outlet for the abuse she suffered from Jean and Emma and a foe that was weaker than her was necessary. 

“Right.” Natasha had no idea how to respond to all that. “Okay. Well, I’m sorry for bothering you. Whatever you were doing is obviously very important.” She realised she had no way to help Wanda right now. “I just…” She swallowed heavily. “Just wanted to check on you.” Wanda seemed so far away now and she could feel the confidence she had about the plan to save her go down the drain. But she was not ready to give up yet. “I’ll leave you to it.”

But entering a state of paranoia, Wanda didn’t leave it at that. She stood up, looking quite menacing as she slowly, angrily, asked: “You didn’t really come here to talk, did you?” Her voice grew quieter at every other word. “You just came here to convince me to do something. This wasn’t about me at all, it was about Lang.”

Natasha jumped off the counter, her hands raised defensively. “No, Wanda. You’re wrong. I came here because I wanted to see if you were okay. As I can see clearly now, you’re not. But it’s not really my problem, is it? Seems like you’re going the same route as your dearly beloved girlfriend. I never thought you were cruel, Maximoff.”

Those words cut deep into Wanda’s heart. A look of the deepest betrayal flashed behind her green eyes, tragic in how vulnerable she looked at the sudden barb from the only person she thought cared about her, before fury ignited in its place. Her right hand began to move, fingers twirling in what was an unmistakable beginning of a hex…before she stopped. She was seething but something was holding her back from the violent thoughts ripping through her mind. The thinnest of barriers that prevented her from harming Natasha. She steadied her hand and stepped back, ashamed. Her head was cast downward as she averted her vengeful gaze. “Please go.” She forced herself to mutter, almost pleading with Nat to leave before she did another thing she’d regret. 

“Don’t have to tell me twice.” Natasha said frustratedly, and headed out of the kitchen without another look. Placing her hands back in her pockets, she huffed. She had a very long way to go before she could help Wanda.

————————————————————— 

The soft spluttering of the old water cooker in Yelena’s room was the only sound Kate Bishop could hear as she rubbed her hands together excitedly, waiting for the water to heat up. It didn’t get to a very hot temperature, being both old and half broken, but because the semi-warm water was not a threat or could not be used as a weapon, the guards had allowed Yelena to have it as part of some ‘special privileges’ (aka she fucked Renee or Weaver). Kate had traded for instant ramen with some cigarettes Yelena had given her, earned from some sort of criminal gang member deal Kate didn’t want to know the details of. 

It was basically the Raft’s utmost version of a romantic gift and the ranger was extremely excited to eat the salty dish. The plastic bowl she had smuggled away from the cafeteria was placed on the bed in anticipation and Kate felt a brief moment of normalness as she waited for the cooker. She missed her old apartment, the kitchen, her stuff. It was strange having to share her living space with so many women, especially as most of them wanted to kill her. Yelena’s room was a safe haven in that regard and Kate was once again thankful for the advantageous position she had gained now that she was the assassin’s girlfriend.

She had smoothed the blankets on the bed while Yelena had gone off to deal with some business, after having spent at least an hour with her head between Kate’s legs. She’d missed Yelena more than she could have imagined while Yelena was in Madripoor and, although they had their disagreements, she was truly happy to get to spend every day with her since the assassin returned. 

The soft, discordant ding of the cooker woke Kate up from daydreaming back to the five earth shattering orgasms she’d experienced this morning and she hurriedly went to get her lame lukewarm water to prepare the noodles. She had already squeezed the packet of indistinguishable spices and oil into the bowl and slowly poured the water over the noodles.

She decided to wait 5 minutes instead of the normal 3 to allow the water to do its magic and drummed her fingers on the side of the bed as she waited. She felt light and honestly, happy, as she settled into the bed with her plastic fork and plastic, warm bowl pressed up against her chest. With loud slurping sounds, she worked her way through the meal, not a care in the world.

If not for a gentle cough to get Kate’s attention, the archer scarcely would have even noticed Natasha slipping into her cell, her steps as quiet as a shadow. With her arms crossed, she leaned back against the bars and looked down at her sister’s girlfriend with a sort of affection. She’d been more than welcoming when it came to Kate thus far, practically treating her like one of her own since the day Kate arrived. But she’d never paid Kate a visit without Yelena practically asking Nat to babysit the archer. And Yelena wasn’t away on another secret mission, so the nature of Nat’s presence was odd to say the least.  “I’m not interrupting you, am I?” Natasha asked. 

Jumping up in alarm, Kate spilled some of the noodles down her uniform and swore under her breath. “Shit” She looked at Natasha and her mouth closed to form a small ‘o’. “Oh. Sorry. I didn’t see you come in.” She hurriedly composed herself and put what remained of her meal next to her. She dabbed at the wet spot on her chest with the blanket, but it didn’t really do anything to help. “Shit.” She reiterated. 

Nat raised her hands in a sarcastic show of meaning no harm. “This one’s on me. I just thought you’d notice me on my way in.” Clearly not everyone was as hyper-vigilant as she was. In prison, not knowing someone had entered your cell could be the difference between life and death, or, worse, getting claimed or not getting claimed. Most who didn’t learn that skill ended up experiencing one of those less than desirable fates. Nat couldn’t help but think that Kate was seriously lucky that she had Yelena to protect her. She also had to admit, she was cute albeit clumsy.

Kate blushed crimson. “Normally I would…I was just really excited about the noodles. And some quiet time, you know.” She immediately added. “Not that I mind you here. It’s just, you know, it can be a lot, all these people around.” 

Seeing the archer’s dismay at her now wet jumpsuit, Natasha immediately said: “I can just get you a new one if you want.” 

In regards to her jumpsuit, she feverishly shook her head. “No, it’s fine. Don’t bother. It will dry…” She didn’t want Natasha to think of her badly or as a burden, but so far, she was doing a pretty bad job. 

“What brings you here?” She said, trying to appear casual and cool.

It really would have been no bother to acquire (mostly) fresh clothes for Kate. If she’d said yes, Nat would have just taken Pepper’s clothes and given them to Kate since it wasn’t like her favourite redheaded slave needed them. But, there being something far more important on the assassin’s mind, she dropped the topic and instead shifted to Kate’s question. She took a step forward and uncrossed her arms, attempting something of a show of trust. 

“It’s complicated. Are you still friends with Cassie Lang?” Nat asked, her usually direct tone softening to something slightly more empathetic. 

Despite having no reason to mistrust her lover’s sister, Kate’s eyes narrowed. “Yeah, we’re friends. Why?” She hadn’t expected this topic of all things to come up in a conversation with Natasha Romanoff. 

“I heard about what you did to try to help her and I’ve gotta say I’m impressed. Granted, you didn’t succeed but you were willing to face an Avenger to help someone. What that witch is putting Cassie through is terrible. She needs you, Kate.” Cassie needed to be pulled away from Wanda, whether Wanda liked it or not. Nat couldn’t do anything to pull the girl away without burning the only bridge to save Wanda that she had. But if someone else were to do the job…

Suspicious, Kate got up from her relaxed position. She wasn’t sure why Natasha was bringing all of this up to her. “Well, I know she needs me. I’m her friend. But Yelena literally won’t even let me go in her direction. So I don’t know what you expect me to do. Aren’t you all powerful in this place? If you want to save Cassie too, why don’t you help me?” Kate got excited at the prospect of working with Natasha. They’d be Avengers together. In Prison!!!

“Despite how it looks, I’m not all powerful here. Sure I have influence, but this isn’t really a situation where negotiation is going to work. If I lay a finger on her property my entire gang is overstepping at least a dozen boundaries. But you’re new here, or new enough at least. Your every action doesn’t speak for an entire group of people. This is a chance to prove to everyone here that you’re not to be fucked with.”

Kate sighed. That was disappointing. “What do you expect me to do, Natasha?” She was seldom deeply serious, but as an empathetic person, she could feel that Natasha was stressed and that this was most certainly a serious matter.

“It’s not about what I expect you to do. I’m just here to give you some advice. Me and Yelena are experienced here, but we’re not in charge of you. You’re your own person and you should do whatever you think is best.” Natasha’s advice was truly shitty when Kate’s instincts had gotten the archer trapped in a hex-induced orgy the last time she’d followed them. 

Frowning, Kate massaged her temples. She felt herself becoming increasingly stressed by the sudden responsibility.  Kate looked at Natasha desperately. “Wanda’s become a complete monster. What am I even supposed to do against her?” Witches felt vastly beyond her skillset. “It’s not like I can just kill her…”

“You’re right. Killing someone probably isn’t going to help your appeal process.” Nat dryly briefly remarked. “I understand that Wanda doesn’t exactly look like the best person in this prison right now, but she isn’t herself. What you’ve seen her doing to Cassie is the kind of shit she’s put up with for years. I just don’t think she could take it anymore. She’s not a lost cause, but she’s in a lot of pain and Cassie is an easy target.” Was Natasha telling Kate this, or herself? “I really can’t tell you what’s the best decision, but I can tell you that you should really consider what her side of the story might be.”

Kate looked Natasha over worriedly. She had no idea what the assassin’s motive was, and she was pretty good at reading people usually. “Well, she did kidnap a whole town, and she killed a lot of people, and started out as a Hydra agent. So…if she isn’t herself, who is she being right now?” 

That…was pretty hard to argue against. It was strange how much Nat had seen past over the years in her desire to protect Wanda. And it wasn’t completely unwarranted, but she sometimes ignored just how big some of the mistakes Wanda had made were. “You didn’t see what she was like when she first came here. How she came to regret a lot of the things she’d done. I sometimes think that’s why she let herself become Jean’s bitch in the first place. She needed someone to punish her because she felt it was what she deserved.” Natasaha relayed. “I’m not saying anything will absolve her of what she did. But everyone deserves a second chance, don’t they?” 

Kate found that she was really having to take Natasha at her word about Wanda not being the absolute madwoman that she’d presented herself to be because the past couple months hadn’t shown her a single thing that even supported the widow’s belief. It was something at least made more palatable by Nat being an authority figure to Kate. Someone she already admired. “You’re right…I’ll try to come up with a plan that involves the least amount of hurting Wanda as possible. But just know that I’m doing this for Cassie, not the witch.”

“I trust that you'll be able to handle this.” Natasha said with a nod, just before leaving Kate to slump back down on the bed and begin trying to concoct a plan while eating the rest of her food.

————————————————————— 

Arm stretched behind her head to provide more cushioning than the feeble prison-provided pillow did and an exhausted naked Pepper Potts beside her, Natasha laid on the top bunk trying to wrap her head around her day. Hours later, the gravity of just how shady going behind Yelena’s back to use Kate was just beginning to settle in. She’d promised to help Yelena protect Kate and now she’d sent the archer headfirst into scheming a rescue mission that was well beyond dangerous. She had no way of telling how Yelena would react when she found out. Even if hypothetically Yelena was completely fine with it (which she absolutely wouldn’t be), Nat had transgressed her bond with the person she cared about most for Wanda. And, while she knew it was selfish, doing what she’d done felt worth it if she knew that somehow she could ensure that Wanda would be okay. It all just hinged on Kate not doing anything stupid…which was a big ask. 

It was now lights out, and all the widow could do was hope that somehow the risks she was taking were worth it. That she wouldn’t end up like Carol Danvers and lead her entire gang into ruin with her. A sense of dread settled in the pit of her stomach at what tomorrow and the days after may bring before becoming entwined with hope that she’d somehow see her mission through. The two conflicting feelings did battle within her, warring without either possibly having a chance to be crowned the victor until she could see what the future would bring to pass.



Chapter 43: Cellmates and Spectres

Summary:

A lovestricken Antonia Dreykov struggles to take her relationship with Ava Starr to the next stage

Chapter Text

Yet another day in the Raft found the inhabitants of the prison in their typical state, seeking distraction from the suffocatingly bleak nature of their incarceration after a long, painful few hours in the mines. It was far from an idyllic life – largely spent under the whim of horny, sadistic guards – but if one endured life behind bars long enough one’s standards for a pastime lowered significantly enough to enjoy the minimal amount prison had to offer. Most sought what little refuge they could wherever they could find it, and nearly nowhere was as popular as the yard (rivalled only by the recreation room if not for the fact that Wanda Maximoff had complete dominion over that space). Oftentimes it seemed like half of the Raft’s population was passing the time one way or another in the yard and today was no different. 

The attraction that drew the most attention was the bitch auction unfolding, an all-too common event in which whatever poor, unfortunate girl who’d managed to find herself dommed by any of the myriad of tougher villains and former-superheroines was stood atop a table (which served as a makeshift auction block) while her prison mommy pimped her out to the highest bidder. A bargain had just been struck when a smirking Sinthea Schmidt won the bid for an hour with Liz Allan. Liz hadn’t even had time to fully comprehend what had happened before she was dragged away, absolutely sobbing, while Felicia Hardy greedily counted her fee of cigarettes. 

Next to be put on sale was Karen Page, with Elektra Natchios choking her by a homemade collar she’d put together from the former reporter’s panties. Elektra didn't even need to say a word as hands shot up to make offers. The strawberry-blonde had been passed around more than enough for everyone to know she was fun to torment. There was a strangely particular love of using and abusing defenseless, pretty blondes that was practically a universal delight of the various gangs, seeing as everyone from G’iah to Yelena Belova was interested (although Yelena hadn’t even fully raised her hand before Kate Bishop elbowed her in the boob). 

Outside of the crowd were a variety of interesting scenes. Natasha turning a screaming Pepper Pott's freckled ass a shade of purple, Rogue and a half-phased Kitty Pryde making out as Illyana Rasputin watched and fingered herself while using Dani Moonstar as a footstool, Carol Danvers eating out a couple of Skrulls (switching back and forth between them as their alien juices stained her make-up smeared face and even got into her recently hacked up hair), and Gwendolyn Poole talking to two strangers who’d arrived from an entirely different universe and were briefly passing through Earth-04092003 while fleeing the TVA…

And then there was, near a corner sitting atop a bench, Antonia Dreykov breathing heavily as she knelt naked with her legs spread wide over Darcy Lewis's mouth, her calloused hands roughly fondling the woman’s massive breasts while, on the other side of Darcy, Ava Starr fisted her ass.

With every little nudge of Ava’s knuckles pushing deep up Darcy’s tight sphincter, the big-tittied dork yelped in the utmost pain. “At least give me a warning next time” is what she would have muttered if her tongue wasn’t too busy flicking between the Black Widow assassin’s folds. 

“Thank you for sharing her.” Antonia said politely to Ava, her tone dissonant with the fact that she was currently pinching Darcy’s right nipple red while indulgently squeezing her left breast like she was kneading dough. 

Over an adorably pained squeak made by the chronically unlucky bitch, Ava smiled up at Antonia with something unspoken in the way she looked at her. “It gets boring playing with her by myself.” In the last eight years since Ava had been tossed in prison by Ant-Man and the Wasp, she’d experienced few true pleasures beyond the ones she found in pushing around whoever she could get her hands on. She’d owned Darcy for three years now and she was easily the funnest of the women she’d owned (the others having been sold at various points in the past) but, while it didn’t yet (and wouldn’t ever) grow stale, she did find that there was something missing. That was until she met Antonia. Nothing had ever quite turned her on like being on the Thunderbolts and seeing the way the assassin fought, a sort of brutal efficiency that assured her targets were struck down. But underneath it there was a vulnerability, a woman beneath the physical and metaphorical armour that intrigued Ava and rang true to a deep-rooted part of her. They were both raised as killers and accepted that life into their adulthood (maybe because it was all they knew, or maybe it was because they sought it out), and yet neither was wholly the ominous murderer that they were taught to be. Sure they’d had their disagreements over whether or not mercy for a foe should exist, and they’d even tried to kill each other (in all fairness, Ava had been mind-controlled), but that honestly made her all the more attracted to her. And that wasn’t even mentioning how wet watching Taskmaster spank Songbird had made her feel. When they hadn’t died in Madripoor, she knew that Antonia was the one. 

Antonia met Ava’s eyes and returned the look. "This has been a lovely date..." She said, acknowledging the mutual abuse of her bitch for what it was. This was their third date and each had seen them find some form of sexual torment to subject Darcy to. 

“It has…” Ava replied. It was clear that she wanted to say something else but hesitated. For a creepy woman who had very few morals, she was abornmally shy about dating. “…and I was wondering if maybe you’d like to continue things…without Darcy. I could give her over to Sylvie and we could go to my cell…or yours.” By prison standards, not having sex with your partner after the first date was strange but not completely out of the ordinary. Not doing it after the second was usually where most wondered what was even the point in spending time together. 

Antonia hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be intimate with Ava.

She was obviously no stranger to sex, but being physically and emotionally vulnerable to another person by her own volition was a new experience. There was a gaping gorge of a gap between forcing a bitch to have sex with her, and having it with someone who actually cared about her. It wasn’t just a matter of having reasonable trust issues, but rather who could possibly want to be intimate with her? She was covered in burn marks. She knew that she was grotesque (or at least that’s how she saw herself) and the idea that anyone besides Yelena might see past that fact wasn’t entirely comprehensible. Beyond the orgasm, the reason she enjoyed using inmates like Darcy Lewis or Sharon Carter (aka inmates who didn’t have a say) was because she could pretend for a moment that she didn’t look like a slasher villain and that the bitch was actually maybe into her. The illusion always collapsed after she came but it remained fun while it lasted. Now offered a chance to actually be with someone who was weirdly attracted to her, she absolutely wanted to say yes…but found it hard to muster the words. A minute passed before she tried to shove her disgust at herself down and say an enthusiastic: "Certainly. As soon as your bitch gets me off."

Darcy let out a relieved sigh as she pulled away (well Ava grabbed her hair and pulled her off, but same difference). Mouth sore from a day of eating out both of Sylvie’s holes before this date, she didn’t love the idea of being sent back to pleasure the goddess even more. “Not to ruin the moment, but maybe I could not be sent to her? As a thank you. I-I did basically just play the role a cup of coffee would on a normal date…” She asked while pushing her glasses up with her finger.

Chuckling to herself, Ava gave an amused look to Antonia. She was surprised by the nerve of her busty bitch to dare ask to not be sold out. “Normally the answer would be a firm no, Big-Tits, but luckily for you this isn’t a normal day. Antonia, what do you think?”

"She should get a spanking for her backchat later, but for now, I'm more interested in you coming to my cell than her." Antonia replied, her excitement steadily taking prominence.   

“Agreed.” Ava nodded, pulling her fist out of Darcy’s rectum and then shoving Darcy away. “Go find Sylvie. Say another word to us without being told and I’ll auction you out this weekend.” 

As Darcy fled, Ava stood up and extended her clean hand for Antonia to grab. “Lead the way.” They were moving before she’d even finished that sentence. 

-

Ava found it unusual being the one getting taken to a cell by another inmate, but in a good way. Her heart was racing. Every step filled her with an eagerness that thrilled her to her core. She was, in short, excited and it was solely because of the woman leading her along. Her gaze, beneath a veil of chestnut brown hair, never once broke from Antonia – who didn't even bother to get dressed after leaving Darcy. 

Thrusting open the cell door, Antonia practically shoved Ava’s back against the wall and moved in for a kiss while beginning to unzip the convict’s jumpsuit. 

Ava’s breaths were shaky as she melted into the kiss and felt the rough material slip down her body. But she didn't just stand there like a lifeless corpse. With Antonia’s hands upon her, hers found Antonia’s body and gently caressed her. The assassin’s body was strange yet alluring to touch, a series of large patches of skin that were paler than the rest of her skin. Rougher to touch. She could feel every ridge of coarse skin where the woman had been burned. 

Antonia blushed a little as Ava touched her, a sense of shame brewing within, like a knot coiling in her stomach, despite how the other woman didn’t seem to think much of the marks. The question on how Ava could possibly be attracted to her repeated itself again and again in the back of her head, each reiteration growing a little louder while she tried to redirect her focus back to the feeling of Ava’s body against her own. The feeling of their lips locking. Of their bodies rolling against each other. Of Ava’s hand so indelicately creeping its way down her lower back until Ghost could hold a handful of Antonia’s ass. Antonia’s movements were a little awkward as she caressed Ava and moaned as she did the same to her. This moment was incredible…but the feeling of the knot within only tightened. 

Ava’s other hand found its way between Antonia’s thighs where she pressed her fingertips softly against the assassin’s pussy lips and then…Antonia asked her to stop. 

————————————————————— 

 

“What?! Why did you not have sex with her, Antonia? She is very hot. If I were you I would-” Yelena said just before being elbowed in the boob by Kate…again…and letting out a quiet ‘ow.’ “I mean she is very hot for you. Kate Bishop, you are obviously much more attractive.”

It was the next day and Antonia lathered herself while showering besides Kate and Yelena, recounting what happened (or, more accurately, didn’t happen) with Ava. She supposed that, given how confident Yelena was and the fact that Yelena had been the one to take her virginity in the first place, she may have some advice. “I don’t want her to have to pretend she’s not turned-off by this…” bar of soap still in hand, she gestured down to her body where beads of bubbly hot water rolled her scarred skin. She was certain the burns Ava would feel all across her body surely couldn’t be anything but a turn-off.

Yelena (and more subtly Kate) assessed Antonia’s body and then scoffed, almost offended by her friend’s shame in herself. “Are you kidding me?” She balked incredulously. “You do not think I pleasured you out of pity, do you?”

“No, of course not.” Antonia replied stiffly. “You don’t think she will be upset about what happened, do you?”

“If she really cares about you, I think she’ll be more than understanding.” Kate chimed in, her friendly voice overcompensating a bit over the hiss of the showers. 

“And if she isn’t you can join us in our cell later.” Yelena added, earnest in her offer but confident that Ava’s reaction wouldn’t be anything less than accepting. The woman was a sadist but, from what she’d seen of her, she was assured of what she wanted. And it seemed she wanted to be with Antonia. 

Kate paused at the offer, her brain delaying processing what it implied. “Wait I didn’t say-”

“You won’t help me make Antonia feel better, Kate Bishop?” Yelena teased, eliciting amusement from Antonia. 

 

————————————————————— 

 

Making her way towards Ava’s cell, Antonia became acutely aware of the absurdity in how she could manage to keep her composure in the most brutal of fights, and yet having sex was what filled her stomach with butterflies. It was an awareness of this absurdity that allowed her to temper her nerves for now.

When she arrived, Ava was on her bed reading a book and Darcy was absent (likely having been sent to Sylvie’s for talking too much). Antonia hadn’t even stepped foot in the cell before Ava’s eyes shot up to look at her and she set aside her book. “Look, it's okay if you don't want to have sex. It's cool. But if this is you not trusting me-”

“What? No.” Antonia interrupted, shutting down that thought quickly. She absolutely trusted Ava. “It is not that.”

“Then what is it?” Ava prodded more while rising to a stand, and Antonia wished she had Ava's ability to just phase out of a conversation. 

Antonia didn't want to admit what the real problem was, but didn't want Ava to think she was the problem either. She was sure her face was red at this point from embarrassment. “Who would want to have sex with…” She gestured vaguely down at herself. “...this?”

Ava's face softened. “I do.” She leaned over, placing a kiss on Antonia's scarred cheek.

Antonia tensed. “Even with the burns?”

“Why would that be a problem?” Ava questioned, as if she was genuinely confused. “If you’re fine with it, I'm more than happy to…” she licked her lips in a way that made Antonia want her at that very instant. 

“I’m sorry about yesterday. Maybe today you’d like to-” Antonia didn’t even get to finish her apology before a smiling Ava shoved her down against the worn-sheets of the bottom bunk. Had she been a bit disappointed when Antonia left? Yes. But she needed no apology. 

Falling back, a rare smile played at Antonia’s face, and she pulled Ava on top of her by her thighs. 

“Alright, pretty girl.” Ava said, being pulled in. Landing on the mattress, she shoved her knee in between Antonia’s legs, hovering over Antonia's body like a lion with their prey while she undressed and then commanded Antonia to do the same. “Strip.”

Antonia hesitated, pulling at the zipper of her jumpsuit but not yet opening it. 

“C'mon. I wanna see you. Every. Single. Inch.” Ava punctured her words by running a hand down Antonia’s thigh, enough to make Antonia’s breath hitch as she suppressed a moan. She had no idea that Ava's commanding nature would extend to the bedroom…but that's not to say she didn't like it. In fact, she was so entranced with Ava's words and the cheeky smirk on her face that she almost forgot about just how insecure she felt. 

Carefully, Antonia opened her jumpsuit down to her navel and let the upper half slip down her shoulders, exposing her torso and arms, burns and all. She blushed, slightly biting her lip as her breasts sprung out. There was no hiding any part of her chest, not the pink of her nipples or the way they bulged out a little to the side, or the nasty scar above her left breast. Immediately, Ava's hands were upon her, running up her side, teasing just beside the woman’s breasts. 

The feeling was electric, like pure pleasure coursing through her. She felt herself begin to get wet, almost gushing into her prison panties. Without a thought, her hand went to Ava’s pussy and she began playing with her clit. Ava let out a soft moan at her touch while she ran her fingers over Antonia’s left nipple before she reached out and grabbed each breast, completely uncaring of the burns or scars.

Antonia let out a soft moan of pain and pleasure indivisible as Ava fondled her while she slipped a finger into her. Ava’s back arched and her grip on Antonia’s tit tightened. Her wetness dripped down the assassin’s fingertips and pooled on her body. The fragile bed frame creaked beneath them. 

Ava’s enthusiastic pleasure was all the invitation Antonia needed to put another finger inside and rub her clit with her thumb. Very wet herself, she enjoyed the sensation of the way Ava tightly held her breasts – a rough, frantic grasp that was almost as if Ava couldn’t get enough of playing with her breasts. She thumbed at each nipple, clearly happy with the little gasps and moans leaving Antonia’s mouth. A grin was on Ghost’s face, completely smitten with Antonia. “How could you have thought I wouldn't want this?” Ava was practically salivating. “So pretty. All of it. Scarred and not.”

"Must admit it's been awhile since I've been with someone who wanted to be with me..." She quipped breathily.

"I don't know that I ever have..." Antonia replied, earnestly. That was excluding Yelena, but she didn’t entirely count that as anything more than a friend doing her a favour by helping her break her Red Room conditioning through some deeply unconventional means. 

“I honestly thought you and Yelena were a thing when we met…or were a thing at least.” Ava said through a moan as she rocked her hips against her fingertips.

Antonia hadn't considered that before, though she probably should have. She couldn’t help but wonder how many others were under that misconception. “Really? You thought we…” She slowed her fingers for a second, eliciting a pout from Ava, then came back to the moment and redoubled her efforts (more than make up for the lull). Ava reached one arm to her shoulder, gripping her tightly as she felt the oncoming throws of ecstasy. Coming closer and closer to cumming with each thrust and swirl of her fingertips inside her. She was just on the precipice, when Antonia suddenly pulled her fingers out of her pussy, her hand up to her wrist soaked in juices, and said: “Sit on my face.” The way she said it was like she was calling out a command in Madripoor, a concise instruction of the most tactical method of attack. She knew that she could bring Ava to a much more satisfying climax that way (that wasn’t to say she wasn't good at fingering her either though). 

Ava pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, trying to play nonchalant. “Well, since you asked so nicely…” She said with obvious sarcasm. It wasn't hard for Ava to get into the proper position, they were almost there anyway. It still took Antonia a minute to adjust when she got a face full of pussy, but she settled down quickly. 

She gave a cursory lick down her opening at first, getting the lay of the land. She was rewarded with a few drops of wetness right into her mouth, settling on her tongue. She wanted more. 

She didn't really have a plan, or any experience or research to go off of, so she just did what felt right. Running her tongue over her pussy, dipping it in a bit, even licking at her clit. That seemed to get the most reaction out of Ava, so Antonia focused most of her attention on the little bud, licking and sucking as Ava grinded down on her face, rolling her hips roughly, uncoordinated and without rhythm, chasing the sensations.

“Fuck!” Ava screamed as Antonia grabbed both of her boobs, fondling them, flicking at the nipples. While her mouth was occupied, both of her hands were still available, with the added perk that this time she was able to completely feel all of the breast in her left hand, all the smooth, warm skin.“Oh, I'm close, I'm really close, I'm close-”

Ava's words died out the same time that Antonia’s face was covered in slick, some squirting all the way up to her forehead, drenching her completely. Ava's body went in and out of vision as she came, fully enveloped in pleasure to the point not even her stabilizing collar could completely hold back such an enormous feeling.

With half-lidded eyes and an extremely pleased sigh, Ava climbed off of Antonia and collapsed next to her in bed as Antonia licked her lips, trying to get as much of the slick as she could, like she was starving.

Antonia let her come down for a minute before putting her hands on her shoulders. "Now I think you owe me." She said, getting a little dommy as she moved Ava to a kneeling position and opened her legs.

Ava raised her brow in surprise but didn't object. She hadn't really had anyone (except the guards) speak to her in that way and it was honestly quite exciting. While never dull, keeping her relatively comfortable position in this prison did require her to keep up a constant aura of dominance 24/7. Not having to do that with someone was a nice change of pace.

Crawling back, she laid her body in the most comfortable position she could manage as her head found its place between Antonia’s thighs. She briefly looked up at her body before she began, marveling at how gorgeous she found her.

Ava wasn't really touching anything intimate as she planted a kiss on Antonia’s bush, and yet Antonia was getting wetter and wetter, to the point where her juices had begun dripping onto the sheets. “Oh, look at this.” Ava finally turned her attention to her dripping pussy. “Already so wet. I can just…”

Ava's finger dipped into her wetness, massaging around her opening, and Antonja let out the most guttural moan. As if that wasn't enough, when she pulled her fingers away, she made sure Antonia was watching, seeing the way a string of wetness clung to her finger from her vagina. And then, Ava brought the slick-covered finger to her mouth and sucked.

Antonia’s heart skipped a beat watching Ava put her finger, covered in her juices, into her mouth, and then release it with a loud pop. Before Antonia knew it, Ava was on the attack, her hand immediately plunged two fingers into Antonia, all the way to the knuckle. Antonia arched up on the bed, intense pleasure hitting her so suddenly and so hard. The wet sounds coming from her pussy were clear, an obscene noise that just turned her on more.

And then, with two fingers nearly all the way into Antonia, Ava located her clit with her thumb and flicked it. Antonia’s brain seemed to almost shut down, fully giving into the searing hot pleasure and nothing else. She saw stars, felt her pussy absolutely gushing over Ava's hand. Ava didn't let up, even as Antonia orgasmed, still toying with her nipple, fucking her fingers in and out Antonia, and her thumb rubbing her clit almost violently until she simply was exhausted and collapsed once more beside her girlfriend

“That was…” Ava began, breath coming out in little pants. “...incredible.”

Antonia had to agree. She had never felt pleasure like that. She'd never even liked her body, much less loved, but with Ava on top of her, worshipping her, telling her how beautiful she was, love may have a strong word to describe how she felt about her body, but she felt a peacefulness with it she never had before. They laid together in a tangle of limbs. 

And then their cell door creaked open as Darcy Lewis entered, her demeanour relaying she’d been standing just on the other side of the bars for a short while (at least half of Antonia and Ava’s little encounter) — growing increasingly impatient. “Sylvie was busy with Julia” She explained her early return. Antonia simply lay back on the bunk, smiling, panting and waving a dismissive hand to Darcy. 



Chapter 44: Nightmare on Hellblock D — Trick ‘ Treat

Summary:

A demon is summoned to the Raft and begins making deals. Meanwhile, the guards organise a twisted form of trick or treating in one of the cellblocks as a means of pacifying various supervillains. It being the Raft though, trick or treating means that a few weak inmates have been selected to be cuffed to the bars of their cells where they are at the complete mercy of the villains. It’s basically the purge but sexual

Notes:

I will be uploading one story per day in the new limited Nightmare on Hellblock D series — a spooky anthology of stories set in the Raft. This pentalogy will contain tales of salacious suspense that each take place on the same night but from wildly different perspectives and with all manner of seasonally appropriate horrors taking place.

Chapter Text

Forgone amidst a crashing ocean, the Raft stands eerily silent, the cellblocks absent and discarded. Cobwebs coat the rusted bars and the prison reeks of death and decay. A dismal energy has overtaken an already dismal environment. The prison, once filled with inmates and guards, is abandoned and seemingly has been that way for a very long time. 

 

The sea air grows cold, colder than usual. Whispers can be heard, indecipherable words that are coming from all around. Suddenly, the cell doors begin to loudly creak – stirred by some unseen force – and, like the opening note, it ushers a cacophony of sounds deep within the prison. At first quiet squeaks of creatures and then comes the beating of leathery wings. The sound of a hundred bats having been awakened from their slumber. 

 

A flash of lightning illuminates the prison, drawing you to a location without knowing why. It's the old warden’s office, now tarnished and bearing a gaping hole in the wall that exposes the tumultuous waves down below. The room has been consumed by the presence of spiders, their webs adorning every surface they can. 

 

Another flash of lightning, this time hitting the prison itself, and now all at once the room comes to life. The fireplace bursts to life and crackles with purple flames. Candles levitate midair. Crystal decanters pour themselves. And, in the center of the room, upon a throne upholstered in decayed crushed velvet now consumed by thorny vines and roots, a figure lounges with a mischievous smile. She’s adorned in green witch glamour with her wild dark hair, dark-green lipstick, and a dramatic, custom-designed forest gown that clings to her frame like a second skin, leans forward. Her dark eyes gleam with mischief.

 

She raises a cocktail glass filled with a blood-red concoction and offers a devilish wink. "Good evening, you ghastly creatures of the night. Welcome to Nightmare on Hellblock D! I’m your host Rio Vidal, your guide down a winding road of acquired tales of titillation and terror.” 

“Halloween wasn’t always candy and costumes. To the Celts it was the night where the barrier between the realm of the living and the dead was it its weakest. I still remember the first festivals of Samhain — where mortals gathered around a crackling bonfire and wore masks to frighten off the demons and spirits that walked the Earth. The edge of fear humans had for what lurked just beyond the tree line, hiding in wait in the darkness, was special. But just because it isn’t still celebrated that way, doesn’t mean the rifts go away. Demons still walk the Earth…so what happens when one emerges in the Raft? Get yourself comfortable, enjoy some candy, and read on. Because tonight's story is just to die for…” The light of the fireplace hits her face at just the right angle that, for a singular moment, it appears as if you can see her skull. She chuckles and then gives a knowing smirk that a part of her true nature has been revealed.

30th of October, 11:57 PM - Blood painted the walls of the desolate cell in such a manner that its crimson streaks formed symbols and sigils. To the untrained eye they appeared as if they were the incoherent ramblings of a madwoman. But there was meaning. They were words and incantations formed through agony and desperation. Words which were written in the tongue of the fae, and celtic, and runic, and things far older than that which any mortal scholar could decipher. It was, to an extent, a translation of the Darkhold created through memory alone alongside numerous other ancient mystical texts pertaining to witchcraft which only the most exceptional of witches could know. One might even be bold enough to proclaim that only a witch who excelled past Agatha Harkness herself in skill could possibly have such an advanced, near photographic, memory of the Old World. And the painter of this bloodborn tapestry was indeed of the Old World, and from a century long since past. She was Morgan le Fay, the dread sorceress and rightful queen of Camelot.

 

Taking a shiv to her own arm, she watched as her life poured open from her veins and dripped down onto the concrete ground. The spell was nearly complete. It shouldn't have been possible, not with the wardings around the Raft, but her connection to the ancient rites on the pagan festival of Samhain provided her with just enough power to exploit. “How long have I wasted away here in this cage constructed by cowards who seek to deny me my destiny? I have ruled in the halls of Avalon, seduced knights of legend, dined with kings, and cursed bloodlines. I stood upon the battlements of Tintagel, with Gawain's ashes still warm at my feet, and I vowed that no man, no power, would ever bind me again! Alas, Merlin…that wretched sorcerer…like all men, feared that which he could not control. And so he used his pathetic tricks and games to banish me on the hour of my great victory to this age of machines and metal. But tonight, my dearest Satana, we shall be rid of this dungeon once and for all and this pathetic world shall kneel before the forces of Avalon and Hell made one.”

 

Satana Hellstrom loudly popped the bubblegum in her mouth, watching the witch work with a bored, glassy-eyed stare. “Mhm. Any minute now.” She remarked, not moving a muscle to help. She was sick of hearing Morgan’s voice. 

 

Morgan Le Fay was, simply put, an absolute arsehole to live with. Her complaints were practically non-stop once daybreak began, only paused periodically when she would brag of her own grandiosity by recounting the same legends over and over again. Rambling on and on for hours about how Arthur had stolen her crown, or how Merlin was a dick, or how Guinevere was a weak little flower unfit to be queen. She snored loudly and fingered herself even louder. The moans the medieval witch made as her fingers pumped in and out of herself and the sound of bunk creaking beneath her with every frantic motion of her arm left Satana little choice beyond burying her head beneath a pillow which her horns had pierced holes in the casing in hopes that she may muffle the sound. They’d been cellmates for nearly three months now and the demon was nearing her wit’s end. 

 

This plot of theirs was little more than a union of mutual interest. Something Morgan had devised and which Satana has played along with as she formulated a plot of her own. 

 

Satana exhaled a long, weary sigh, the kind that sounded halfway between boredom and rage. The witch’s droning voice filled every inch of the concrete tomb they called a cell, echoing like nails dragged over her skull. 

 

“Do you ever…” Satana started, then stopped, pinching the bridge of her nose. “You know what? No. I’ll just let you finish. Wouldn’t wanna interrupt your big… uh… destiny speech again.”

 

Morgan barely glanced up, her eyes black and wild. “You interrupt because you fear me, child. Because deep down, the demon-spawn of Hell herself recognizes the supremacy of Avalon’s true queen-”

 

Satana threw her hands up. “Shut the fuck up! You’ve been saying the same thing since the first week we got thrown in here! ‘Arthur stole my crown,’ ‘Merlin this,’ ‘Avalon that’, news flash, bitch, it’s the twenty-first century! No one gives a damn about your dusty old fairyland!”

 

Morgan turned, bleeding arm dripping as she brandished the shiv like a scepter. “You dare mock me? You, a petty succubus who squanders her gifts on mortal filth, dare to speak in the presence of Morgan le Fay?”

 

“Petty succubus?” Satana’s voice dropped an octave, the temperature in the room dipping low enough for frost to form along the iron bars. “Oh, that’s rich. Coming from a hag who finger-bangs herself to memories of knights in shining armor.”

 

"You... you vile gutter rat!" she choked out, her voice trembling with a mixture of fury and profound embarrassment. "You dare speak of such—"

 

"Oh, I dare!" Satana cut her off, advancing another step. Her eyes burned with infernal light. "Let's talk about the moaning, Morgan! Your truly operatic performance! 'Ohhhh, Sir Lancelot!' 'Yesss, Bedivere!' 'Harder, Percival!' And the bunk! That poor, tortured piece of metal screaming beneath you with every frantic thrust of your hips against your own fist !You hump your own fist like a starving dog attacking a scrap of rotten meat! You thrash and buck and moan. Bang! Bang! Bang! Like you're trying to hammer your way through the floor to Hell itself! I'm sick of smelling your crotch-sweat every night! Sick of listening to you grunt like a sow in heat while you jam your filthy mitt down that swamp between your legs!" Her voice rose, sharp and corrosive, stripping away any pretense of civility. 

 

Morgan stood frozen, her mouth opening and closing soundlessly, the grand sorceress utterly stripped of her regal bearing. Humiliation radiated off her in waves, thick and suffocating. Her bloody arm hung limply at her side, the intricate sigils momentarily forgotten. The sheer, graphic vulgarity of Satana's rant, delivered with such cold, precise disgust had struck a nerve deeper than any physical blow. For the first time in centuries, Morgan le Fay looked genuinely, profoundly mortified.

 

Satana didn't pause, her voice dripping with acidic disdain. "You want to talk about destiny? Power? Fear? Try lying awake night after night, trapped inches away from that unholy spectacle, Morgan. Try breathing in that thick, cloying stench of desperation and unwashed medieval muff while you listen to the rhythmic squelch of your fingers disappearing into the hairy abyss. That's terrifying. Not your dusty crown or your stolen throne. Your nightly one-woman reenactment of 'The Deflowering of the Swamp Hag' is what makes me want to gouge out my eardrums with this shiv!" She reached under her pillow and pulled out her own shiv, a crude little blade wrapped in black tape, the handle still stained from an old fight.  She raised the crude blade slightly, her knuckles white on the taped handle.

 

Morgan’s cheeks flushed crimson. “You vile creature! I am Morgan le Fay-”

 

“Yeah, I know who you are. You remind me every damn hour.” Satana took a step closer. “I know about the crown, the sword, the betrayal, the destiny. I could recite your tragic little fairy tale backwards at this point. You’ve told it so many times I’m ready to stab my own ears shut.”

 

“Watch your tongue, succubus!” Morgan snarled, clutching her bloody shiv. “You think you can strike me down? I have endured centuries-”

 

Satana’s voice went low. “And you won’t endure one more night.”

 

The next moment was a blur. Morgan had struggled to fend off her attacker only to be rammed in the head by the succubus’ horns. Dazed, the witch still tried to fight back as she  was stabbed again and again until she no longer had the strength to claw at Satana. In the end, Morgan Le Fay, dread witch of Camelot, lay dead on the floor of a prison cell - her orange jumpsuit running red with blood. Whatever glory she’d once possessed stripped away by such an undignified death. 

 

Relief washed over the demon. The wicked old witch was dead. 

 

Satana was quick to proceed with her plan before a night-patrol guard saw what she’d done. Grabbing a styrofoam cup sitting by the sink, she slit open Morgan’s throat so that her blood flowed into the container. Then the demon raised the cup in devotion. A humble offering. “I call upon the beast below. The regent of damnation. The demon of the deep. I give this soul to thee as a sacrifice to your malevolence. Queen of Goblins, hear my voice and harken to me at once.” 

 

There was silence. A silence whose span of time came with the terror of a guard’s certain arrival. Had the ritual been performed wrong? Knowing of the months in solitary confinement – where there was nothing to do but slowly go mad from boredom – that awaited her should her crime be discovered, Satana felt a small yet sudden swell of panic. Her plan had to work. 

 

The milliseconds went by like an eternity. The dark, emptiness of their cell became taunting stillness. And then, from the shadows, a figure stirred. “You called?” Asked a sultry voice belonging to Madelyne Pryor, queen of Limbo. 

 

“I have given you a soul, your Highness, and in return I ask that you free me from this wretched world.” Satana quickly replied, struggling to humble herself before the Goblin Queen but desperate enough to escape prison to do whatever she must. 

 

Madelyne gave a sinister smile. “You find it wretched and yet you found it fit to summon me here? What makes you think I enjoy this cesspit of a plane more than you do, Hellstrom?” 

 

“I meant no-” Satana wasn’t allowed to finish speaking. 

 

“Silence!” Madelyne’s demand was accompanied by the distant boom of thunder. “You shall have your way, Satana Hellstrom. I will free you.”

 

“Thank you-”

 

Madelyne held up a finger and wagged it at the succubus. “Don’t get excited yet. You are free from this prison…but for your insolence in bringing me here I condemn you to an eternity in Limbo as one of the damned.” Before Satana could even say anything, a hole opened up beneath her feet and skeletal hands pulled her into the pit. Once she was gone, the pit sealed itself and Madelyne was left alone in the cell, accompanied only by Morgan’s lifeless body. 

 

Madelyne sighed. She supposed she could simply return to her kingdom now that she’d fulfilled the desire of the one who summoned her here, but it seemed like such a waste to depart with nothing to show for it. Perhaps it wouldn’t have hurt to stay a little while. This place, this prison, seemed as desperate a location as one could find on Earth. If all it had taken was living with an obnoxious cellmate like Morgan Le Fay to drive Satana mad, there were surely dozens of souls to acquire in the Raft. 

 

—————————————————————

 

31st of October, 3:48 AM - Nico Minoru lay in her bunk, wrapped underneath the loving arm of her girlfriend Karolina Dean. She was awake far earlier than she intended and truly unable to fall back asleep despite her best efforts. She’d tried staring at the bunk above and counting every little shape she could make out in the darkness in an effort to fall back asleep. When that didn’t work, she attempted to memorise every lyric of Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees and ended up mentally reciting the entire Juju album without feeling so much as a hint of sleep creeping over her. 

 

It was, by all accounts, utterly hopeless and the dread of trying to manage her shift in the mines later with such little sleep was immense. It was always just her luck that, when she tragically awoke early, she’d begin to feel tired just as her pickaxe was being handed to her. 

 

But at least Karolina was asleep. Nico looked at her face, staring at the slumbering blonde with nothing less than all the love she could possibly feel. If not for her, prison would have been a far more miserable existence. Actually, life itself would have been more miserable. 

 

Nico had been dating Karolina for a couple of years, but she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her. Karolina was the light to her darkness and the love to her hatred. She was everything she used to be before Amy died. Losing her sister changed her life forever. She never thought she would fall in love but then Karolina came back into her life and everything changed. They learned that their parents were murderers, and that Karolina was half alien.

 

They really were opposites in every way that was conceivable and they absolutely loved each other for it. But there was just one issue. Their sex life. 

 

It didn’t make sense to Nico how exactly being in a women’s prison had managed to turn what was once a truly wild relationship, into one where they had sex twice a week if they were lucky. She knew that part of it had been the loss of their favourite toy. The Staff of One, a mystical object Nico one wielded, had been one of the most powerful weapons in the universe that could rewrite reality to its wielder's whims and had gotten the Runaways out of countless binds…it had also done wonders for the sex lives of Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean.

 

The two had once relied on it for practically everything, from lubing up holes to modifying their own minds and bodies. Some days they had done nothing but fuck from sunrise to sunset, using the Staff’s magic to keep them on the edge the entire time. It was as delightful as it was kinky. Without it, they’d been forced to do things far more basic. While Nico was woefully sexually frustrated, Karolina didn’t have the same issue. Karolina was a hot, peppy blonde girl in prison. The literal stereotype of a bitch who got sold out and tasked with licking the holes of dangerous criminals from sun-up to sundown. In an ideal world, they wouldn't have been in a sex-dominated prison and could be truly monogamous. But here in the Raft, it was about survival. When Nico was on all fours getting her ass pounded with a dildo carved out of soap, she thought entirely about Karolina and waited for it to be over. Meanwhile, while Karolina endured much of the same, she sometimes forgot about Nico during the brief period of the act – only to remember her immediately after, love her and long to be with her. But while she was being fucked, she deeply enjoyed getting her world rocked by some hottie whether she admitted that to herself or not.

 

Yesterday they’d planned to spend the day together, but that had been cancelled when Karolina was bought by Scorpia for a quickie…which then became a series of encounters. By the time she got back to the cell she shared with Nico, it was nearly lights out. Karolina had always been the popular girl but that took on an entirely different meaning in prison. 

 

If only they could have Halloween to themselves. She would have given anything to be exclusive with Karolina…

 

“Hey” Nico suddenly heard a whisper belonging to Karolina in the darkness. She turned at once to see her girlfriend groggily smiling at her. “Happy Halloween” She said tiredly yet excitedly. She knew it was Nico’s favourite holiday.

“Happy Halloween” Nico whispered back. “I didn’t wake you did I?”

 

“Hate to say it, but you did. Your snoring could wake the dead.” Karolina joked. “No, you didn’t wake me. I just had a dream about you.” The way she said that made the type of dream abundantly clear.

Nico eyes stare intently into Karolina's for a moment before flickering to her mouth then back up. “Oh…what happened?”

 

Karolina softly cupped Nico’s soft face. “I could show you…” Her lips were soft and sweet, and fit against Nico's perfectly as she brought the goth into a gentle kiss. The second they touched the room began to be illuminated with warm light. Karolina’s skin had begun to glow, a rainbow of shifting celestial neons whose colours were almost indescribable as they danced along her skin in waves. There was the impression of a pattern to it, but Nico never could quite comprehend what it was. The colour out of space was simply breathtaking. 

 

The kiss would end too quickly as Karolina pulled back. Nico opened her eyes to see her smiling, glowing girlfriend. They both smiled for a second, eyes continually returning to the other’s lips. 

 

In an instant, they closed the distance again, this time the kiss was not gentle. It was filled with want and longing. Nico held Karolina's cheek before moving her hand farther down to hold her waist as the kiss got more desperate. They continue, Nico's tongue coming out to run along Karolina's lower lip in silent entreaty for entry. 

 

She was granted access immediately as the kiss got hotter and more passionate. Nico moved to straddle Karolina, guiding her head back onto the pillow, growing fiercer with every millisecond they touched. She wanted Karolina all to herself and in this moment she had just that. 

 

Karolina's senses were filled completely with Nico. She could taste her on her lips and tongue, feel her straddling her hips and Nico's hands on her waist running up and down her sides. She pulled back for air and gasped, finally giving in to her screaming lungs.

 

"Sorry, did I go too far?" Nico nervously asked. 

 

"No, no." Karolina laughed. "I just need air to breathe." 

 

That's too bad, I was hoping that whatever gave you sparkle powers would also give you the ability to hold your breath forever," Nico joked.

 

"Nico," Karolina chastised, her voice light and airy before dissolving back into gravely giggles. Nico just grinned before attaching her lips to Karolina's neck and sucking lightly while rolling her hips down. Karolina groaned at the pressure as the laughter in her voice faded away while Nico left a trail of kisses down Karolina's neck, stopping every so often to suck or nip lightly. Karolina couldn’t suppress the moan that had been building in her vocal chords since Nico began. 

 

"Be quiet or someone is going to hear us. We don't want that, right?" Nico warned in a low whisper. Admittedly, there was something hot about imagining a guard catching them in the act, but she wanted to get to enjoy this. 

 

Not wanting their moment to be stopped, Karolina bit her lower lip and shut her eyes in hopes that it may help her make as little noise as possible. Satisfied, Nico kissed back up her neck and along her jaw before reaching her lips and kissing her breathless. 

 

After frantically undressing each other, Nico remembered the overwhelming feeling she had when she saw Karolina naked. How she never wanted to be with her more than when she saw the girl’s celestial body in full. 

 

“God, I'm so wet for you. Please make me feel good." Karolina crassly begged, pushing the somewhat awkward goth forward. Kissing her way down Karolina's stomach only caused her to writhe more on the bed. Eventually Nico reached just above where she wanted her and slowly she dragged her hand down to dip into Karolina's folds. 

 

She ran her fingers through Karolina's wetness feeling how she reacted under her fingers. Karolina moans were symphonic to hear. “Keep going…” she managed to say. 

 

Nico did as she was told and slowly dragged one finger down before pushing it inside. Karolina moaned loudly, too loudly. Nico didn’t care though as she began to move her finger in and out, giving Karolina just enough time to adjust before slowly pushing another in. 

 

Her walls grasped at Nico's fingers creating the most enticing trap ever. As Karolina's breathing began to even out a little bit more, Nico curled her fingers causing her to scream. She really needed to hurry before a guard arrived. 

 

"Fuck!" Karolina’s sweat glimmered off of her glowing skin. "Tongue... please!" She's practically screaming at this point and so Nico moved down a little more to slowly reach out and run her tongue over Karolina's clit. Over and over again she ran over her clit and curled her fingers deep inside. 

The feeling was overwhelming and Karolina felt the name of her partner escape her lips. “Elektra…” 

 

Nico paused what she was doing and stared at her, hurt. The fact that a guard was unlocking their cell to punish them didn’t even matter when Karolina had accidentally uttered the name of one of the women she’d been sold out to. 

 

—————————————————————

 

31st of October, 6:00 PM - The cellblock was decorated as if it were a neighborhood of houses rather than a series of cages. Orange and black crepe paper drooped between the bars like tired spiderwebs while a paper skeleton dangled from a length of dental floss, its cardboard joints clicking softly whenever the ventilation turned on. Bats stuck to the flickering light fixture and purple and orange lights were strung above the cells. Whimsical wall decor depicting various specters, and even a few pumpkins dotted along the hall. 

 

But Nico and Karolina didn’t get much of a chance to enjoy the sight as they currently were kneeled on the floor of their cell with their bare butts on full display for any passerby. Should, for some bizarre reason, they not wish to be put on display for all to see, any attempt to shift positions was impossible due to their ankle shackles currently being locked on the other side of the bars. The only way they were getting out of this predicament was through the intervention of a guard – and that had a zero percent chance of happening. 

 

If there was any consolation it was that they weren’t the only ones lined up at the bars just waiting for someone to take advantage of their positioning. Weaver and Renee had made an event of this, and that meant that even inmates who didn’t dwell in this cellblock were temporarily being placed in cells along the row. Just across from Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean, Karen Page was currently suppressing tears as she shook in dread of what was about to happen. Adjacent to her was Darcy Lewis, rolling her eyes at the way her night was going. Further down the way were Cassandra Webb, Mattie Franklin, Karli Morganthau, and  Sharon Carter among others.

 

“Well this blows.” Karolina huffed, voice as distant as ever. The blunt she’d smoked thirty minutes ago was clearly now in effect. At least she hadn’t done LSD…this time. It certainly would have made this whole thing a more interesting experience. 

 

“Yeah. No kidding” Nico turned around in an attempt to see if anyone was outside their cell. For the time being, they were undisturbed. “Y-You don’t think they’re going to-”

 

Karolina cut her off, quicker to accept how screwed they were about to be. Literally. “Buttfuck us? That’s totally what’s gonna happen.” 

 

Right on cue, they heard footsteps down the block. Several of them in fact – accompanied by the jostling of chains. Whatever was going to happen wouldn’t be good. 

 

Led by Officers Renee and Weaver, twenty prisoners whose ankles remained bound had been gathered for tonight’s event. First and foremost was Emma Frost, looking truly divine in her slutty angel costume - comprised of a mini-skirt that wasn't even long enough to conceal the white lace underwear she’d been given for the day, a feathery top, a pair of wings, a golden and white masquerade mask, and a mini halo to pull the look together. While the outfit was eye-roll worthy, it was better than the original costume (Elsa) that she’d negotiated her way out of. 

 

Behind her was Felicia Hardy, fittingly dressed as a black cat. The thief looked quite purr-fect 

 

Elektra was a vampire, the costume bearing an uncanny resemblance to Salma Hayek’s look in Dusk Till Dawn with the addition of a plastic pair of fangs the assassin was obligated to wear. 

 

Olivia Octavious a mad scientist, meaning she had a lab coat on with nothing underneath. 

 

Typhoid Mary was a clown; adorned in a revealing sort of bikini with a frilly collar and half of her face covered in makeup. 

 

Ava Starr was a ghost, which meant that she had a white sheet over her head (really more of a see-through executioner’s hood in length) and a sheer, tattered bit of cloth over her body that did nothing to cover how naked she was underneath. But what she lacked in clothing, she more than made up for in chains. The number was genuinely absurd, with her not just having ankle shackles but also a real ball and chain that she was expected to tug around, handcuffs, and a chain attached to her suppressant collar that could be used as a leash. 

 

Antonia Dreykov stood beside her. Although her expression was stoic, she was ever-so-subtly shifting from foot to foot in discomfort as the faintest of blushes added a rosy shade to her cheeks. Because her costume was that of a beauty pageant queen; consisting of a revealing orange dress, a sparky silver tiara that looked like the type a child may wear while throwing a pretend tea party, and a sash declaring the wearer as the beauty queen. At first she’d thought the costume was some cruel joke at her expense, but Ava’s adoration of how she looked wearing the costume shifted that into something positive. 

 

Last but not least, Titania was the Bride of Frankenstein (while elsewhere She-Hulk was Frankenstein's Monster itself); which meant she had a black wig shaped into an updo with a bolt of white running through it, a pair of white lingerie underwear, and half of a roughly stitched together bra whose gaps exposed the scar on her right breast. She didn’t look happy. “Why’s Freddy Krueger here get to be the beauty queen?”

 

Things were about to escalate between Antonia and Titania when Officer Renee interjected. “There a problem with your costume, #S03-1984?” Renee asked, referring to Titania by her inmate number. 

 

“Uh yeah. You’ve got her in a tiara while I’m…whatever the fuck I’m supposed to be.” Titania genuinely didn’t understand her own costume. “It’s giving goth crackhead vibes”

 

Ava had always felt a bit of a connection with the classic monsters, being cursed with an ability that she struggled to control that had left her isolated for most of her life. “You’re the Bride of Frankenstein. How do you not know that?”

 

“Because I have a life,” Titania said without a beat. 

 

Renee rolled her eyes and then delivered a shock to Titania via her collar. It was enough to make the influencer shut up so that the guards could announce the reason for gathering the villains into one place. “Welcome to the Raft’s very first trick or treat night, ladies! We’ll be providing you each with a strap-on and you’ll have one hour to go cell to cell doing practically whatever you want to the lovely asses presented. Consider it your own Purge night…within reason. But this is also a game. See, for the ones getting fucked, you’ll be penalized for every time you cum. -1 point if you cum from getting vaginally penetrated, -3 if you cum from getting buttfucked. The lowest score at the end of the night will be punished. The ones doing the fucking are also in the game. +1 point for getting a girl to orgasm vaginally, +3 if you can do it by buttfucking them. Whoever scores the most points wins a very special prize!”

 

Weaver held up a Jack ‘o Lantern shaped trick or treat bucket in which several strap-ons were contained. She then proceeded to divvy out everyone’s assigned dildo – which most needed no order to put on. Within the span of a minute, there was a line of strap-on clad supervillains standing in the cellblock. 

 

Titania looked down at the green coloured, girthy, silicon dick swaying between her legs as she shook her hips from side to side. She recognised it as the same one she’d been allowed to use to ‘initiate’ Sharon Carter into prison life with. Good, if there was one thing prison had taught it was that she really liked the feeling of power she had with this as her sexual weapon of choice. There was just one concern. “You washed this thing, right?” 

 

Weaver paused, trying to remember. “Yes. Obviously” she said, not actually knowing if it was true. “It’s not like it’s going to be clean long anyways. Any other questions?”

 

Ava raised her hand as much as the shackles around her wrists would allow. “Yeah I have a question, can you take off at least one of these chains? I can barely move at the moment. It’s not exactly easy to thrust a dildo into someone when I’m working against the weight of this bloody iron ball.”

 

“No can do. All parts of the costumes you girls are wearing are staying on until the event is over.” Renee bluntly answered. 

 

Titania’s hand shot up again and, before the guard could call upon her, she asked: “Ok so second question, what’s the prize?” Even without knowing what it was, she was determined to get that prize. 

 

“It’s a surprise so I guess you’ll just have to win if you want to find out!” Weaver beamed. 

 

A tentacle was then raised as Olivia Octavious straightened her glasses and then asked a question. “What are the precise parameters of what we can and cannot do in order to induce an orgasm? As of late I’ve been theorizing how many orgasms the human body can have in a row and this ‘game’ seems like a remarkably fitting place to test if my current hypothesis is correct.”

 

“Well now we know which one of us has never been laid before prison.” Titania remarked. 

 

Weaver distributed a stronger painful shock to Titania, this time sending the obnoxious inmate to the ground. The guard then turned to Olivia. “You’re allowed to do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t cause any serious harm.”

 

“How disappointing.” Emma Frost said, looking at her nails in disinterest of the formalities being presented prior to the fucking. This was all rather tame compared to some of the delightfully twisted things she’d done during the 2017 Hellfire Gala. 

 

-

 

Karolina felt the tap of a dildo against her butt that was as if someone was rhythmically knocking at a door. She turned around to see who it was. “Trick or treat!” Beamed Titania. 

 

Karolina breathed in deep, her breath wavering with excitement that she tried to veil behind dread. She would have loved to live in a happy world in which she could just monogamously make love to Nico all the time. But the truth was that as a horny, freshly out-of-the-closet woman in prison, she was internally far less resistant to the idea of letting her holes be prodded than Nico was. Not wanting her girlfriend to feel cheated on every time Karolina was traded for fishsticks in the cafeteria, it wasn't a feeling Karolina was very about. So while her heart was racing to feel her pussy be filled with Titania’s silicon member, she tried to externally keep up the facade that she hated the idea just as much as Nico. 

 

Titania spread Karolina’s cheeks before locking her eyes on her puckering, twitching asshole, which seemed almost afraid of her as the small, wiry blonde hairs that surrounded it stood on end. The hole was nearly perfectly pink and visibly loose. Perfect for being sodomised. 

 

She then spread Karolina's cheeks even harder. Karolina’s resulting yelp morphed into a shuddering, confused moan as Titania’s dildo descended upon her most intimate place. The silicon dick of the former influencer, rough and demanding, made contact with her asshole, tracing the contours of her pucker with reckless abandon before spearing her.

 

Karolina let out a cry, somewhere between pain and pleasure. Her eyes fluttered and her muscles spasmed with excitement. For a millisecond, she forgot that Nico was bound right beside her. 

 

Titania began thrusting herself in and out of Karolina as wet, obscene sounds filled the cellblock but they were soon drowned out by Karolina’s cries of pleasure, which continued to increase in volume as the depraved spectacle carried on.

 

All around them, others did the same, with costumed villains stuffing the holes of every trapped convict they could get ahold of. Titania turned to watch as Karli Morganthau’s womanhood was filled by Ava’s member, Ava somehow managing to keep her balance as she thrust herself into Karli despite the chains weighing her down, while behind her Elektra was making quick work of forcefully bringing Karen Page to a shuddering climax. 

 

“Seriously, could you hurry up and cum already?” Titania chided Karolina, who, by the looks of it, wasn’t that far off. Wishing to rush her along, she let go of Karolina’s ass, allowing the mounds to jiggle shut. With her hands now free, Titania proceeded to harshly insert three fingers from the left one in Karolina’s quivering cunt, down to the knuckles. The influencer quivered inside at having to put her fingers up some dirty inmate’s unwashed pussy, but victory was worth needing to wash her hands several times. 

 

Titania continued pumping while louder, wetter sounds of repetitive insertion were let out from Karolina’s spasming womanhood, accompanied by a squirt of vaginal fluids with every plunge of Titania fingers and flick of her wrist.

 

Nico just watched it play out, finding herself made melancholic by being helpless to do anything but watch her girlfriend being fucked. 

 

“Oh god!” Karolina cried out as she finally came, the feeling rushing through her core as she squirted Titania’s fingertips. She’d never felt like such a complete and utter slut before coming to prison…but admittedly she found it rather freeing. If only Nico understood. 


“Ew” Titania said under her breath as she withdrew her fingers and shook some of the fluid from her hand and then, without even a word, pulled out of Karolina and moved on to the next cell. 

 

Not even a minute went by before Karolina was being used again. This time it started with the feeling of sharp nails being dug into her fleshy rear, and a sadistic little purr from the inmate behind her. “First to climax. Someone’s a little slut, aren’t you?” Felicia Hardy said in her usual sultry tone.

Karolina wanted to say ‘yes, that she was Felicia’s little slut who wanted to be fucked’ , but she managed to hold her tongue for Nico’s sake. Instead, she said: “Just do whatever you’re going to do”

 

“Tsk tsk. Wrong answer. I don’t like being rushed, blondie.” Felicia dug her nails in a little more, eliciting a pained gasp from Karolina. “Whose my little slut?”

 

Karolina’s wide eyes shot over to Nico, begging her girlfriend for permission to give Felicia the response she craved. “S-She is. She’s your slut!” Nico frantically said, under the impression that Karolina was scared and that she needed to help her. 

 

Suppressing a smile, Karolina nodded. “Yes. I’m a slut. A total slut. I’m your slut!” She said with a little too much enthusiasm. 

 

Felicia’s other hand gripped the bar for support as she leaned in close, her platinum white hair cascading down until it touched Karolina’s back. The hand that had been planted on Karolina’s ass slipped down to the shaft of the strap-on as Felicia aligned the toy with Karolina’s sex. She then started thrusting. Slowly at first, testing the waters and not wanting to hurt Karolina too badly. 

 

“It’s probably been a long time since you’ve felt a dick inside you, hasn’t it? I know what that’s like. They don’t ever tell you about the real struggle with prison life. Sure there’s the crap they serve that tastes like cat food, and the long hours of hard labour, and the constant risk of being shivved. But none of that is as bad as the sexual frustration of exclusively being locked up around women. To be surrounded by tits and pussy 24/7 when all you want is a nice hard dick to ride. It’s torture.”

 

“Uh yeah…I totally get that.” Karolina was a lesbian. But if playing along with Felicia’s straight girl in prison fantasy was going to make the cat burglar get her off, so be it. Oddly enough, Felicia’s words managed to excite the bisexual Nico though, whose right hand started to creep towards her pussy before she stopped herself. 

 

Karen Page screamed in the cell behind them, having been forced into a sobbing orgasm by Elektra who discarded her to find the next suitable victim in an instant. Ava had already buttfucked Karli and was on to paying a visit to Sharon. Titania was now taking a turn with Mattie while, beside Mattie, Cassandra Webb was having a vision of transcendence while being reamed by Emma Frost. 

 

—————————————————————

 

Jean Grey had neither been invited to the trick or treating event, nor chosen to attend the event in the yard. Having sold Wanda Maximoff out for the rest of the day to the eccentric Rio Vidal (who’d paid an irresistible ten packs of cigarettes), she’d opted to spend a nice quiet day in her cell alone reading a book she’d borrowed from the library. But that didn’t mean she lacked Halloween spirit. In honour of the holiday, she was in the midst of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ‘Faust.’ 

 

Faust. A knock? Come in! Who now will bother me?

 

Mephistopheles. 'Tis I.

 

Faust. Come in!

 

Mephistopheles. Full three times must it be.”

 

At that moment there was a knock at Jean’s cell. That in itself wasn’t odd, but what was odd was how she couldn’t hear the thoughts of this visitor. If it had been Wanda, or any other inmate, she could have simply slipped into their mind to know who it was. Annoyed by having to exert the effort to lower her book to visually see who it was, she sighed in annoyance at the sight of the woman who now stood at the barred threshold. 

 

It was herself. Or at someone who looked identical. She recognised that there was only one who also bore her face…

 

“Hello, Jean. It’s been a long time.” Madelyne devilishly grinned, blood-red lips parting to expose a smile that was just a little too wide. She smelled of fire and soot. Eons ago (in Limbo time) she’d been Jean, or at least a clone of Jean. She’d even lived in Jean’s life for a while – carrying all of her genetic template’s memories. After learning she was a clone and Jean taking back the life Madelyne had stolen, Madelyne had done what all modern women desired. She sought out the dark forces and joined their hellish crusade.  “How’s Scott? Oh right, you killed him.”

 

Jean tensed, resentful about the reminder of her little…accident. She hadn't meant to kill Scott  Summers, but he’d found her when she’d first taken on the Phoenix as her host. She hadn't been in control of herself when the flames of her rebirth swallowed him alive. “Is there a reason you’ve returned, Madelyne, or are you just here to fuck up my life again? Because I hate to break it to you, but there’s nothing left for you to fuck up.” She may have been a powerful gang leader in prison but, ultimately, she was still in prison. She’d had to contend herself to the fact that she would spend the rest of her life in this cage in the middle of the sea. Trapped. Outcast to the company of criminals. Forced into living as the property of SWORD. 

 

Jean was feared among the prison population, but Madelyne didn’t see the intimidating celestial goddess and one of a kind telepath that the inmates of the Raft saw. Instead she saw a broken, petty, beaten little version of herself. Every detail of subtle incarceration based despair stood out. The orange jumpsuit Jean wore that had been washed far too many times gave it a perpetually wrinkled look. The way Jean’s red hair was messied from poor quality shampoo and a long shift in the mine. The subtle hints of an ache Jean was experiencing from that shift. The only thing she could respect was the subtle hint of flame that coiled in Jean’s eyes, and that was thanks to the Phoenix rather than anything Jean had in her.


“Mmm I’m aware. You managed to do that all by yourself…with a little help from the little birdie rolling around your head.” In her mind, Madelyne was the superior Jean. While Jean’s infernal outburst had nearly single-handedly ruined the reputation of the X-Men and undermined all that they’d stood for, Madelyne had managed to stabilise her own kingdom. “How’s prison treating you?”

 

“Better than whatever being in Limbo has done to you.” Jean replied. As much as she hated prison, spending eternity in Limbo sounded like an incomprehensible nightmare. Even if Madelyne was the queen and not a damned soul, Jean didn’t see the point if it was a life spent in the company of demons. Illyana Rasputin was more than enough experience with demons for her. “What do you want?”

“I was summoned by two mortals imprisoned within this place and I desire souls. Sweet, precious souls. I thought that I should perhaps pay you a visit since you know this land so well. I crave the desperate. The unfortunate. The forsaken. You must know who among your kind that describes.”

 

“Yeah I do. Congratulations, you just summed up everyone in this shithole.” There were those that Jean hated. But she hated Madelyne even more. There was no chance she’d aid the Goblin Queen in finding new souls to empower herself with. She could have tried to strike a bargain for her freedom, but that was a deal Madelyne would never agree to.

“Such hostility. Maybe I should pay a visit to your girlfriend. Afterall, she’s not above meddling with demonic powers…” 

 

Jean’s expression darkened and then sprang a voice that wasn’t hers. “Touch her and you shall know torments far greater than those devised in your infernal realm” The Phoenix wasn't threatening Madelyne, it was making a promise. None could take that which already belonged to it. 

 

Madelyne recoiled slightly, intimidated by the cosmic force. There were few powers on earth that could compel her like that of the Phoenix. She hesitated to say another word before ultimately deciding to withdraw into the shadows. She could find gullible idiots on her own. 

 

—————————————————————

 

“This is impractical,” Antonia Dreykov complained to Ava, stopping in between cells to straighten her sash. If she was being completely honest with herself, she actually was still smiling inside at her costume. But she didn’t want to be too obvious about how happy being called a beauty queen made her feel. It wasn’t exactly befitting of her scary, scarred prison dom persona to be grinning ear to ear about wearing a tiara. 

 

Titania pulled out of a wailing Sharon Carter and spun around, sending a spatter of cum flying as her dildo whipped around, and extended her hand out. “If you don’t want it, I’ll happily take it-” 

 

Antonia grabbed Titania’s hand, applying enough pressure to press down on the bones. “The sash is mine.” She snarled defensively while Ava just smirked from the sidelines. Just because they were all on the Thunderbolts didn’t mean Antonia wasn’t ready to break Titania’s hand if the influencer made a move for her sash.

 

Wincing at the assassin’s surprising strength, Titania was lucky that Antonia chose to let her hand go. But Titania quickly made up for her luck with her own stupidity as she rolled her eyes and said: “Whatever. Sashes are out this season anyway. The diagonal line really draws one’s eye to the chin bloat.”

 

“Do you want me to fuck up your other tit, Tit?” Ava immediately snapped, making a move towards lunging at Titania. 

 

Titania defensively clung her non-scarred breast, terrified that Ava might do something to harm it. “I was speaking generally” She lied. 

 

Antonia and Ava weighed whether it was worth ending their night of trick or treating early if it meant disciplining Titania. Ultimately they decided it wasn’t. They could probably find a way to punish her tomorrow if they felt like it. For now they kept walking. 

 

“I just can’t stop thinking about how much I’d like you to peg me with this…” Ava gestured to the dildo she was wearing – a phallic white shape whose alabaster form was only punctuated by three black dots that looked like the face of a cartoonish ghost. “How much do you think it would take to bribe the guards into letting me keep it?”

 

Antonia smirked and then turned to take a tactical look at Weaver and Renee in the background. “For Weaver? Eating her ass. For Renee? Eating her pussy.” Her cadence was like she was assessing the advantages of an enemy force. 

 

“Neither sounds preferable…” Ava mimed taking a moment to consider things. “...I know what we’ll do. We can send Darcy to do it. Speaking of…”

 

They stopped just outside of Darcy’s cell where the glasses-wearing bitch was currently trying to turn around to see who would be taking a turn with her now. She’d been having a rough go of things this Halloween. It had started rather normally, with her ‘breakfast’ consisting of sticking her tongue up the asses of her cellmates, but things had gradually gotten worse for her. And then during their morning shower, Sylvie had been especially rough with her buxom breasted bitch, twisting Darcy’s nipples far too much while in the throes of passion.  To get out of having to pass out while trying to fulfill her quota in the mines, Darcy had agreed to do favours for Renee – which involved the usual sexual services alongside something special for the holiday. On her butt had been drawn the face of a jack ‘o lantern in black marker. It would come off by tomorrow, but for all of Halloween she had just one nickname…

 

“Hello, Pumpkin Butt” Ava cruelly snickered. 

 

Darcy groaned at the arrival of two of her prison mommies. “So I’m guessing that eating you both out this morning wasn’t enough?” She attempted. 

 

“It was not,” Antonia answered. 

 

Darcy sighed. She’d expected that. “Yeah, figures. Can you both be gentle at least? Some clown psycho just shoved her whole fist up my crotch.” By the time the night was over she wouldn’t be walking right for a week. 

 

Antonia and Ava looked at each other, considering it. “No” Ava beamed. The ghost and the beauty queen then converged on the bound dork, both taking a hole. 

 

Meanwhile, Karolina Dean was being railed. With Olivia’s tentacle writhing in and out of her ass, the blonde was visibly bouncing back and forth, her breaths staggered over the audible sound of her cheeks being clapped. "I-I'm so  sorry Nico, b-baby. I c-can't…she's g-gonna make me…she's gonna make me fucking CUM! I can't…I can't" 

 

All Nico could do was hold her hand and tell her that it was okay, that she knew it wasn't her fault. That Karolina could just let go and that she loves her. 

 

"Nico, thank…t-thank you, babe! I love-!" Karolina smiled for a millisecond before her mouth shot open wide and she roared in bliss as she came to a gushing climax. Nico had yet to be broken…or even touched. 

 

“How touching,” Olivia said flatly, pulling her tentacle out of Karolina. 

 

Nico was admittedly a little offended that no one had shoved anything up her. It wasn’t that  she wanted to be used, but getting skipped over entirely while her girlfriend got all of the attention did sting a little. It was a confusing, almost jealous, layer of insecurity that brewed as she was left kneeled on all fours watching Karolina being reamed. 

 

But she wouldn’t be left alone for much longer as a Symkarian accented voice made the presence of Silver Sable known. “Да, very touching.” She said mockingly as she aggressively grabbed ahold of Nico’s round ass, gripping it with her strong, calloused hands until the flesh of the goth’s squeezed in her grasp.

 

“Hey!” Nico yelped, startled. But Sable didn't really care to hear what she had to say – which she made clear by spanking Nico’s ass. 

 

“Speak only when spoken to” Sable chided, giving off the energy of a military official giving an order. Nico just gulped and obeyed. She really didn’t want to be hurt beyond whatever the muscular mercenary already planned on doing. 

 

But whatever Nico faced with Sable paled in comparison to Cassandra Webb’s plight, as the clairvoyant found herself on the receiving end of Typhoid Mary’s mania. “Trick or Treat! I’m gonna make you scream little whore!” sang her crazed voice. 

 

“In pain or pleasure?” Cassandra nervously asked, before being granted an answer to her question through a vision. She saw herself being repeatedly spanked as Typhoid Mary dug her nails into her crotch. “...Nevermind”

 

“Cassie, Cassie, Cassie. Don’t be boring. Don’t you want to have fun with me?” Typhoid Mary tsked. 

 

Typhoid Mary pressed her stomach against the bars. The heat in her core burned fiercer at the mouth-watering sight of Cassandra’s naked behind wriggling in the air. As a matter of fact, all of Cassandra was squirming, from both fear and anticipation. 

 

Far be it for Typhoid Mary to keep her waiting. She reached into the cage to grab Cassandra’s thighs and pulled them farther back so that her ass pressed against the cold metal bars. The psychotic criminal took a moment to run her hands appreciatively over that ass before withdrawing. “Be a very dirty girl for me or I’m gonna find a way into your cell tomorrow night and I’ll cut you in half crotch-first.” She giddily taunted. 

 

Cassandra bit her lip as she quivered at the sound of a harness being wrestled with. 

 

Typhoid Mary poked the strap through the gap in the bars that perfectly framed Cassandra’s pussy and prodded her entrance with the tip. “Before this is over I want you to tell me just how much of a dirty little whore you are!”

 

“Oh - ah, ah, ahhhhh!” Cassandra didn’t even get to respond.

 

The initial slipping inside of her was sudden, causing a blaze of fire between her legs. The pain was intense, like every nerve in her womanhood was being flayed as her body tried to accommodate the sudden intrusion of a foreign object.  Typhoid Mary didn’t tease, she violated. She gave deep, rapid thrusts with the same enthusiasm that she would have while repeatedly driving a shiv into someone’s chest. 

 

If there was any consolation, Cassandra’s pussy was greedy and gradually sucked more of the length in until Mary was buried to the hilt. The way pleasure and pain shot through Cassandra was confusingly delightful, something astoundingly euphoric in its brutality. The way Typhoid Mary fucked her deep and in an even, in and out, in and out, in and out, made it easy for Cassandra to be beside herself with a lustful hunger.

 

Cassandra thought she’d begun to grow comfortable with Typhoid Mary’s attack on her body, that she’d discovered a rhythm to the other woman’s madness, but she was proven wrong when the maniac shoved her entire fist up Cass’ ass as if she was gutting a pumpkin. If getting her pussy repeatedly stabbed with an unlubed dildo felt painful, having her rectum expanded was agonising. Her whole body shook, wracked with pain, but that offense was met with Typhoid Mary spanking her with her other hand. 

 

The feeling overwhelmed her senses and, whether an effect or simply poor timing, her eyes shot open as her mind was pulled forwards into the future (or perhaps it was the past) once again. This time things were blurry, but she could make out a few things. First she saw Weaver’s office and a belt lying on the floor before the vision morphed into the body of one whose blue skin shifted. And then she saw a woman with orange hair who was gagged in a bathroom stall. Then a vision of Death, who bore a face that had begun to decay into a skeletal shape, standing beneath the pale blood-red moonlight.

 

Finally, she beheld two molten eyes staring back at her from a realm of darkness belonging to a queen atop a jagged throne. All around her were writhing shapes that the flames all around illuminated as people who’d experienced torments that surpassed words. A human who’d become a walking pincushion of barbed wire and needles reached out to her and Cassandra screamed in terror, pulling herself from the nightmarish visions.  

 

“That’s right, scream for me!” Typhoid Mary yelled, believing Casssandra’s reaction had been in reference to what she was doing. 

Cassandra very briefly thought of saying what she’d seen, but then she remembered that Typhoid Mary hardly would have cared so she simply resigned herself to trying to cope with the fist in her ass. 

 

—————————————————————

 

While it was Halloween and there were some who, whether they liked it or not, were having days exceptional to the boring monotony of incarceration, to the vast majority of inmates the holiday was the same as any other. Exhausted from all of the turmoil that prison presented, the tattooed Francine Frye took a bump of the white powder which she’d poured near the basin of the sink. It turned out the price to having gone on an electric rampage through New York was not worth the price (though that wouldn’t have stopped her from doing it again if given the chance), because over the last long, six years she’d come to learn that the little drugs she could trade for were what made her life sentence even somewhat tolderable. Well that wasn’t entirely true…

 

“Want some?” She asked hoarsely, looking at her cellmate. 

 

Scorpia, her athletic cellmate, idly stretched her legs from the bottom bunk, bare toes angled as she watched. The former assassin had spent 6 years alongside Francine, the two knowing each other better than anyone after spending most of it caged together. "How much ya got?"

 

“Like about a bag and a half.” Francine replied, wiping her nose of excess powder as she eyed her cellmate over. “Don’t ask where I had to smuggle it to get it past the guards.”

 

Scorpia chuckled. "Now I HAVE to know..." she knelt next to Francine, playfully smacking her ass.

 

Francine chuckled at the spank. Despite being straight, she’d formed something of a relationship with Scorpia. They were like friends…who met each others’ physical needs. “How about I just show you?”

 

Scorpia grinned wolfishly, snorting a quick line. "Don't threaten me with a good time..."

 

“My asshole is still kind of sore” Francine over-shared as she stood be the side and poured more cocaine down for Scorpia

 

Scorpia smirked. "How about your pussy?" She asked back bluntly.

 

”It could use some attention…” Francine smirked back, never shy about what she wanted.

 

Scorpia chuckled, taking another snort. "Are you sure you're not a lesbian?" She'd tease.

 

”I’ve got needs. You’re just a lot better than my hands at fulfilling them.” Francine was at least honest about the nature of their dynamic.

 

"You're so romantic..." Scorpia replied back sarcastically, leaning in to kiss the cute blonde.

 

Putting her hands on Scorpia’s hips, Francine pulled her cellmate in  close as she breathily fell into the kiss. The touch of another woman’s lips against her own never seemed to be any less strange, yet there was a certain pleasure to it. Scorpia locked lips with her passionately, her own hands at Francine's waist. It was a dance the two inmates had done plenty of times over 6 years in prison and it always went in the same direction, with Francine’s right hand beginning to slip from Scorpia’s hip down between her thighs. There, against the criminal’s still-clothed crotch, Francine began to slowly rub the palm of her hand back and forth.

 

Scorpia moaned involuntarily, always excited at Francine's expert touch. She was already thoroughly aroused. Francine kept going, rubbing Scorpia as they kissed. Soon enough, she could feel her cellmate’s wetness seeping through the thin fabric of her jumpsuit. This was just a taste of what they’d get up to when they weren’t kissing.

 

"And here I thought... I'd be the one giving you attention..." Scorpia managed between kisses and gasps.

 

”Nothings stopping you from doing it right now…” Francine replied

 

"Good point..." Scorpia pulled away, beginning to playfully tug at Francine's jumpsuit zipper. 

 

Francine’s breaths grew heavier in anticipation. Scorpia was painfully slow at pulling the jumpsuit open, liking to play with her prey first. When it finally came undone, going slack around the girl’s waist before she clumsily manoeuvred to getting it descend down to her ankles, Scorpia was presented with a complete view of Francine’s naked body. Ink adorned much of the criminal’s body; with illustrated bolts of lightning crackling down her left forearm around a skull and flowers. Stars dotted her left shoulder. But most noticeable was the bright red heart on her chest being struck with a bolt shooting through it that was surrounded by electricity which descended down her breasts. She’d gotten most of these tattoos over the last few years in prison. But it was an addition to the set of tattoos by Francine's bare ankle that caught Scorpia's eye. 

 

"What's with the new rose?" She asked playfully. She did love the blonde's body art.

 

”Just thought it would look cute,” Francine shrugged. Just wanting to try out something new was how she had most of her tattoos. “So you like it huh?”

 

"I like all of them..." Scorpia replied. “Reminds me how cute you look when they've got the chains on you..."

 

“Shoulda seen how they had me in the courtroom. Full collar, ankle chains, handcuffs, and waist. Bet you’d have been soaking yourself if you were there.” Francine had barely been able to move as she was being sentenced…but that was kind of the point.

 

Scorpia giggled. "I would have loved that.” Scorpia said as she planted another kiss. 

 

A jolt of excitement shot through Francine like the numerous electric symbols that adorned her body. "Almost sounds perfect... except I wouldn't have let you wear anything..." Scorpia wasn't shy about gently sticking a finger in Francine’s womanhood.

 

Francine moaned as she took hold of Scorpia’s hand and roughly kept her in place, making it very clear that she wanted her right where she was and that she wouldn’t let go. Happy to oblige, Scorpia playfully strummed the blonde's pussy as she moved to kiss her bare nipple.

 

Francine rasped in delight, her whole body rendered acutely on edge the more Scorpia did. Beads of sweat gathered along her forehead while she grew wetter and wetter with every stroke of Scorpia’s fingertips. After a long, hard day of back-breaking work swinging a heavy pickaxe at rocks alongside a chain of angry, sweaty criminals there was nothing more calming than being pleasured in her cell. If only Scorpia had been a man…

 

It was almost a turn-off. Almost. They’d come up with something of a fantasy to make it all more palatable for her. “Just imagine me and you. We break out of here…we find a jewelry store….” 

 

Scorpia giggled, nibbling the blonde's nipple. "Case the joint, stab a few people with my tail... we'd make a lot of money..."

 

The very idea made Francine moan. With her nipples already made sensitive from Scorpia’s fingers inside her, the delicate sucking of them made it even better. Reaching for her other breast, she squeezed her chest in her grasp and shivered with excitement. The feeling was electric. “Mmm…all the money…and all the diamonds…and we take it and hide away somewhere.” Her words were stiff as she tried to speak through the primal sounds of pleasure she made.

 

Scorpia was soaking wet herself. "Have some fun... parties on the beach..." she was practically envisioning an open marriage with Francine as her fingers pumped away.

 

Francine wasn’t imagining anything similar but they were pretty much both lost in their fantasies. “No collar….Pure energy at my fingertips…” Any minute now she was going to burst.

 

“Too bad you’ll both spend the rest of your lives rotting away in this cell.” A woman with red hair and bright orange eyes who was scantily clad now stood in their cell.

 

Scorpia jumped up, hand still held at Francine's pussy as she tried to discern the source of the voice. 

 

“Who the fuck are you?” Francine snapped, staring down the sudden intruder. She was a millisecond away from attacking her, only not doing so because Scorpia was between them.

 

”A concerned party.” The demon, Madelyne Pryor, smiled. “One who can grant you your freedom and all that you could ever desire in this life. No more long nights in your cell just burning to be let loose. Or late night sessions with the men in that magazine…” She looked at Francine specifically when she said that sentence. “…I can make you both relatively untouchable. Able to do whatever you want whenever you want without consequence.”

 

"And do you usually do that by sneaking up on two girls mid-fuck?!" An irate Scorpia asked, not buying it.

 

“Yeah I was just about to cum before you interrupted us” Francine vulgarly added. 

 

Madelyne wasn’t deterred. “I look for those who are desperate. No matter what you were busy doing, you both scream desperation.”

 

Scorpia seemed unammused. "So what exactly are you gonna do, anyways. Bust us out guns blazing?"

 

”No, you will. I will simply grant you the fortune to have it be the first of many successful plots you concoct” Madelyne explained.

 

Scorpia furrowed her brow, curious. "Go on..."

 

”It’s simple really. I can give you both whatever you want. For a fee” Those words made Francine apprehensive

 

"What, are you gonna take our souls?" Scorpia replied.

 

Madelyn smiled. “Well as a matter of fact that’s exactly what I’ll need.” She said with strangely charming confidence. “It’s not as if it’s anything you’ll miss”

 

"So you bust us out of prison for the rest of our lives, and in exchange we just go to hell for eternity?" Scorpia replied. "Maybe I prefer it behind bars."

 

”For your information, It’s rather offensive to assume all demons come from Hell. There are countless infernal planes of existence, afterlives, pocket dimensions, and places between the bounds of reality.” Madelyne chided. “Where I come from is a hell to some and a heaven to others. It’s whatever you make of it. Do you both really want to spend the rest of your lives in a place like this? How many decades of monotony do you think you can withstand?”

 

Scorpia was intrigued. "Alright, so what do you get out of having us there then? Because prison isn't so bad with a hot blonde to fuck brainless every day." She was only semi-lying.

 

“Souls are energy. To wield one is to have power unlike anything you can imagine. I harness your souls to grant myself more power and you get to have lives free of confinement spent fucking all of the hot blondes you want without rotting in a cell.” With a snap of her fingers, a spark ignited and Madelyne conjured a pact of ancient papyrus. “So, what do you say?”

 

Francine took one glance around the tiny room, imagining having to spend the rest of her life in it, before she nodded. She didn’t care what the consequences were, she just couldn’t stand to die in prison. “I’m in.”

 

Scorpia looked stunned, but sighed. She wasn't doing life in prison. "Me too..." 

 

Their names were written in blood on the pact and then Madelyne was gone. In the next moment their cell door swung open by itself. They were free to go…

 

Scorpia glanced at the door in discomfort. "So... think there's gonna be an army of guards waiting to cuff us out there?"

 

”Guess there’s only one way to find out…” Francine giggled as she stepped through the threshold

 

—————————————————————


Antonia was five points deep into the game, currently in the middle of shoving her member up Darcy after making her cum twice already, while Ava was taking a much needed break to casually finger herself beside her – watching Antonia pound Darcy intently was all the fuel Ava really needed to get herself off. There was just something in the sight of Antonia’s strong hips aggressively pumping back and forth that made Ava melt. All things considered, it was a surprisingly fun date. And it was Antonia’s first Halloween!

 

As Darcy cried out in ecstasy, juices dripping into a pool made by her previous climaxes, Antonia briefly felt on top of the world. She now had six points. But, as was her normal, she felt a bit of sadness seep in to spoil it. Post climax bliss (whether her own or another's) often brought a hint of dysphoria. Maybe it was because it always involved doing an act that involved her body – acts such as masturbation had always been near impossible for her since it reminded her of the state of her body. It wasn’t as severe as it had been at points in the past, but currently she felt this sense of disgust with herself. And then there came the longing to look normal.’ 

 

That was when she felt a flash of an agonising migraine. A fierce flash of flame ripping through her mind. And then there was a voice, smooth and sultry. Tempting. “I can get rid of your scars, daughter of Dreykov.” Madelyne offered. 

 

Antonia was confused by what was happening, but gathered fairly quickly that some telepath was invading her mind. Having been mind controlled for most of her life, it didn’t take her any time at all to gather that they were using her thoughts against her. “I don’t care” she thought bluntly, not allowing their influence to spread. 

 

“You would no longer be haunted by the sins of your father. No longer cursed by those wretched marks. You can be beautiful, Antonia. I just need-”

 

“No.” Whatever was in her head was obviously trying to manipulate her. Antonia wouldn’t play their game. 

 

Madelyne withdrew, her pact rejected before she’d even finished offering it. 

 

—————————————————————

 

“I hope you rot for eternity in the Dark Dimension!” Nico Minoru cried out, unable to do much else but curse those who now violated her rectum.

Titania dismissively patted her on the butt, barely listening to what the goth had to say. “Yeah yeah, I get it babe. Get over yourself and cum for me.” She currently had ten points and she needed the point boost that buttfucking Nico would provide. “You’re going to take it in the ass like the good little slut you are.”

 

The influencer positioned the head of the huge dildo at Nico’s tight anus, the pressure making Nico tense up. “Just relax,” Titania demanded, her voice a mockery of comfort. “It’ll be so much easier for me if you just let it in.”

 

With a brutal shove, Titania pushed the dildo into Nico, the thickness stretching her unprepared hole as she screamed in pain. Nico’s body bucked against the intrusion, her muscles clenching around the foreign object.

 

“Look at her!” Typhoid Mary beamed, standing beside Titania currently in the process of violently penetrating a slobbering Karolina, voice strained with excitement. “Look at that ass take it all!”

 

Titania looked at Mary, grimacing in disgust at the weird psycho freak she was having to stand way too close to. The deranged criminal smelled like she hadn't showered in weeks and was acting far too familiar. She was about to tell her to fuck off but Typhoid Mary seemed to have the vibe of an unhinged crazy person on the street and Titania knew from experience living in Los Angeles that it was better to not engage. 

 

Nico felt a tear slide down her cheek as she gritted her teeth, the pain mingling with the confusing sensation of arousal. Her body was responding to their cruel ministrations, and she hated herself for it. Titania had begun to thrust in and out of her, the rhythm growing steadier, the pain slowly morphing into something else. Nico felt her walls stretch and give way, the burning sensation subsiding into a dull throb.

 

“Oh, fuck,” she moaned involuntarily. “It hurts.”

 

“Just. Keep. Breathing-” Karolina tried to sooth her girlfriend through grunts and moans before her mouth shot open wide and she yelled ‘fuck’ as she came for the 11th time tonight. It didn’t help Nico feel any better but she appreciated that Karolina was trying to help. 

 

As Titania continued to pound into her, Nico felt a strange warmth building deep within her, a tension coiling in her stomach that had nothing to do with fear. It was as if her body was betraying her, responding to the pain with a desperate need for release. “H-How long have you known you’re a lesbian?” She asked her assaulter in an attempt to take her mind off the feeling. 

 

Titania gasped. “Ugh, I’m bi-curious, bitch! And FYI, it’s not gay to fuck women because you want to win a prize.”

 

When Titania’s dick found just the right spot, Nico couldn’t hold back anymore. Her orgasm tore through her, a scream of pleasure that she didn’t want to admit to herself. Her pussy spasmed around the strap-on, her ass clenching down on the huge dildo as she came. The sensation was so intense it was almost unbearable. Typhoid Mary and Karolina watched in amazement, their own arousal spiking at the sight of the goth’s body writhing in ecstasy.

 

And as the last waves of pleasure receded, Nico felt a mix of relief and shame. She had enjoyed it, despite herself. With a satisfied smirk, Titania pulled the strap-on out of Nico's trembling ass. She now had 13 points! 

 

Nico breathed in relief that Titania left…only to have Typhoid Mary take her place…

“I wonder when Felicia will be back…” Gwen Stacy boredly pondered aloud as she lay on the floor reading a book, the only person in her cell who liked Felicia’s presence. Without her prison mommy, the cell seemed so quiet. 


"I'm sure you do..." Michelle replied sarcastically. The dour girl was always less enthused about being pimped out by Black Cat.

 

Gwen was quick to try to play off some of her attraction. ”I just mean so we know what to expect.”

 

Mary Jane chuckled. "You sound awfully eager to find out..." she replied, taunting the blonde.

 

”Whatever” Gwen dismissed, trying to sink back into her book in an effort to escape just how bad she was at hiding her growing attraction towards Felicia.

 

Mary Jane tapped a bare foot near Liz. "How about you? Eager to get that pussy pimped out again?" 

 

“What’s your problem?” Liz snapped, startled by suddenly being called back to reality after getting lost in trying to forget about how badly her crotch ached.

 

"Just curious." The redhead giggled. She loved taunting the lesser girls in the cell.

 

“Ok, well out of curiosity, how did it feel having Nebula shove her fist up your ass yesterday?” Liz was a lot less patient with Mary Jane’s antagonism ever since she’d become Felicia’s least favourite.

 

Mary Jane furrowed her brow. "What did you just say?"

 

Gwen looked up from the cover of her book, taking in the drama of the newest dispute in their cell. Meanwhile, Michelle curled up a bit, worried what would happen next. Mary Jane looked irate.

 

”You heard what I said” Liz stood her ground. She looked at the expression on Mary Jane’s face and panicked for an instant before she remembered that she’d been hurt by far worse people than Mary Jane.

 

The redhead moved in front of Liz, hands on her hips. "I think we ought to put that mouth of yours to work..." She said callously.

 

”What’s to stop me from telling Felicia when she gets back?” The one thing she didn’t let them do was cum.

 

Mary Jane scowled. "Watch yourself, bitch."

 

This was one of very few times Liz could stand up for herself. Mary Jane of all people wasn’t going to push her around. “What are you going to do?”

 

Mary Jane shrugged. "Guess you'll have to keep one eye open..." she replied, menacingly.

 

The threat sent a chill down Liz’s spine. There was something terrifying in not knowing exactly what might happen. She didn’t say anything. Mary Jane, meanwhile, retreated to the top bunk. 

 

Just like always, everyone took their corner when there wasn’t conflict. Liz to the window, staring out at the ocean by night — dreaming of freedom — while Gwen remained in the middle of the floor. Michelle stretched her legs out, eyes on the ceiling wondering how she'd survive living like this. Mary Jane, meanwhile, grabbed her pillow. The redhead was horny from the exchange with Liz, and desperate to cum.

 

She placed the pillow between her legs, trying to stealthily remind herself what it was like having a boy there. The frame of the bed creaked beneath her, announcing every movement she made. Not that she cared, hips grinding away in search of pleasure.

 

She just needed a few more moments without anyone noticing. Which was expecting a miracle really. The resentment towards the fact that she couldn’t even masturbate without the fear of someone snitching drove her on. If only she was in charge of their cell and not Felicia…

 

Face-down against the mattress she breathed heavily as she relentlessly humped her pillow. That was when she heard a voice in the back of her mind promising her a future of domination over Felicia and the others. All it would require in exchange was her soul. She accepted immediately

While lesser inmates ran about the cellblock fucking any hole they could find, Emma Frost sauntered along simply assessing which she found most interesting to play with. She had standards afterall. The one that stuck out (literally, as their round rear was currently squeezed as it pressed against the bars) belonged to none other than Mattie Franklin. It was so delightfully juicy that Emma could hardly resist.

She took one step forward, closer to the plaything-

 

“Boo!”

 

Typhoid Mary jumped towards Emma with a cackle, getting an eye-roll out of the incarcerated socialite. 

 

“Move along, guttersnipe. I have no desire to speak with you now or ever.” Typhoid Mary was precisely the type of inmate Emma detested. Crazed, manic, horny lunatics. If she wanted to see people like that, she simply would have volunteered at a food shelter (a laughable notion).

 

Typhoid Mary gave a gummy smile. “I understood some of the words you just said!” 

 

Interrupting their discussion, Madame Viper, Ophelia Sarkissian, moved towards Mattie with her venomous heart set on harming her as much as she could. Emma’s attention immediately snapped towards her rather than the clown-clad lunatic. “I was here first,” she asserted, standing tall and proud. 

 

Viper smirked. Emma was undoubtedly a true Aryan beauty, but she was also a mutant. That meant, to Viper, that she wasn’t deserving of Hydra’s respect. “The mulatto is mine. You can wait your turn.” 

 

“I do not wait, dear. Kindly step aside before I am forced to make you…” Emma may not have enough power to mind control her into compliance, she could only give people a gentle mental push, but there were always other ways. “...Guttersnipe, I will pay you generously for removing this obstacle for me”

 

Typhoid Mary beamed. At once she attacked Viper. The victor was unimportant when the guards apprehended them both, leaving Emma to do as she pleased.  

 

Mattie Franklin sighed and then turned her head to see who was about to have a turn with her. "What are you gonna do to my ass?"

 

Emma stroked the dildo between her legs. “I’m going to stuff your pumpkin of course.”

 

Mattie winced at the sight, really not prepared to be stuffed like that. Not after her time with the Galaxy Gals the night before. “Can you put it in my pussy instead? Or my mouth?" She didn't have much of a gag reflex. Hadn't since she’d arrived at the Raft.

 

“If I desired to put it in either location on your body, do you not think I would have said as much?” Emma replied, getting annoyed. “But if you want me to shove it in your mouth first, so be it.”

 

The cell door was not locked, so Emma simply entered. Without telling Mattie to open her mouth, Emma walked in front of her then shoved the dildo down her throat. 

 

Mattie let out a muffled noise of shock as the strap was shoved in her mouth, not gagging her but definitely not enjoying the feeling of something large inside her mouth. Emma moved the dildo in and out of Mattie’s mouth, letting her spit gather on the toy. The sight of her deepthroating the toy made the White Queen even hornier than she had been.

 

Emma withdrew the dildo from her mouth, letting the Arachnachick’s saliva drip onto the floor, and she let her have one last good look at it. Then she went behind her once more and began to push the dildo up her rectum. Mattie immediately tried to take a deep breath, but only wound up coughing as her throat adjusted to not being abused. But before she could truly move on from that experience, she would squeeze her eyes shut and moan softly as she felt her asshole open.

 

Emma didn’t truly care much for if Mattie enjoyed this experience, but she wasn’t entirely against it. Pleasure was something she could wield over her. And there was nothing Emma liked more than having power over another. 

 

Mattie knew things would only get rougher with Emma, which really wasn't her style, but she decided to enjoy the initial pleasure of having the mildly lubed up tool enter her. "Be gentle with me-"

 

“When have I ever been gentle, dear?”  Emma asked just before she finished getting the dildo up Mattie with a shove and then began pulling it in and out. 

 

Mattie let out a shaky laugh as her body began to tremble. "A girl can dream, can't sh-eeee?" Her eyes widened at the same pace as her hole, a little scream erupting from her mouth as she was penetrated over and over again.

​​

—————————————————————

 

Karli Morgenthau grunted and screamed as she was unceremoniously fucked by inmate after inmate. Her freckled, tattoo-covered arse had become a near ruby red shade from the assault it had withstood. 

 

Sharon thrashed in her chains as she desperately tried to get loose, to fight back, against a tentacle worming its way into her body. 

 

Darcy was unamused as her decorated butt was mocked. 

 

Elektra had circled back to Karen Page, who she happily tormented by violently ripping at her vagina as she fingered her. 

 

As the night drew long and the Trick or Treaters began to weary, the words of a guard drew the event to a close. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and turned to face the guards. Those who were still locked in their cells, the victims, were left in place. 

 

A wave of calm washed over Nico now that she knew that it was officially over, while Karolina seemed almost disappointed before quickly trying to match Nico’s energy. 

Titania was on edge, eager to know that she’d won. While Antonia and Ava didn’t really care about victory at all, with Ava predominantly wondering how much longer it would be until her chains were removed. Similarly, Emma, Mary, and Olivia weren’t desperate for victory so much as they’d merely enjoyed being allowed to have their way with several defenceless convicts. That left the likes of Felicia Hardy and Silver Sable, who both wanted whatever a prize may entail.  

 

Beginning by ordering all of the villainous inmates to stand in a line like they had at the start of the night, Renee and Weaver would announce the winner and loser respectively. 

“I’m happy to announce that the winner is…” Renee paused to build suspense. “...Titania! With 18 points!”

 

“Wow I am so honoured! I can’t believe it” Titania immediately into typical influencer faux-humility while obviously congratulating herself. She was admittedly annoyed that none of the other inmates bothered to praise her accomplishment. Not even so much as a simple assertion of how amazing she was. She assured herself that they were obviously jealous.


“That leaves me to announce who the loser is.” Weaver stepped forward and raised a megaphone to her mouth so that the entire cellblock could hear. “At -18 points, Karolina Dean is apparently a lightweight.”

 

Karolina hadn’t realised she’d climaxed that many times during the course of the night. She gave a somewhat sheepish smile to a morose Nico, feeling someone shy about how much she’d enjoyed things. 

 

Both Titania and Karolina were cuffed. Titania was escorted by Weaver and Renee while Karolina was taken by two different guards. 

 

It was time for Karolina’s punishment…and she was trying her best to not be obvious about how excited she was (assuming it was something sexual). Would she be spanked? Or perhaps she’d be tied up and forced through torture via orgasm denial. She was ready for anything so long as it didn’t involve being tossed in solitary or extra long shifts on the chain gang. 

 

—————————————————————

 

“It must be a terrible burden to know how your poor girlfriend suffers but to be unable to do anything to help her. To see how she’s used and abused by violent criminals and sadistic guards who wield unlimited power over the inmates. I’m sure you’ve spent long, sleepless hours feeling completely wracked with guilt over your own powerless state and just wishing there was some way your relationship could go back to the way it was before prison. There’s a unique kind of woe that accompanies not being able to help the ones you love. But it doesn’t have to be this way.”

 

“Y-You! I-I thought you said you’d spare me” Nico panicked. The memories of what Madelyn had done to her and Karolina in Spellbound were still very vivid. 

 

“Relax, child. I mean you no harm. Last time we met I’d been pulled to this Earth against my will…but now I’m here by my own volition. In fact I’ve come to offer you a solution to your woes. A means of saving Karolina for once and for all.”

 

Nico knew that it was a bad idea to humour the demon, but her love of Karolina outweighed her fear of the malevolent force. Madelyne had her hesitant attention. “What is it?”

 

“I can grant you both lives free of serving the wicked whims of others. A life secure in your monogamy. But it requires power I do not possess but which you can provide. The power of a soul.” There were few substances in the cosmos greater than those of souls and demons knew that all too well. To harness the power of a soul was to wield energy. Energy that Limbo fed off of.

Although only self-taught in the mystic arts, Nico had an exceptional aptitude for it. And so she knew the weighty cost of her soul and why a demon may want to possess it. Yet that didn’t make her any less tempted than the others Madelyne had approached. What was the point in her own preservation if it meant that Karolina would continue to suffer? Was it not selfish of her to allow her girlfriend to continue being traded for fishsticks? 

 

She wanted to say that maybe things could get better, but after tonight she knew that wasn’t possible. She couldn’t bear to watch Karolina be forced to endure anything like it again. 

 

If only she knew the truth. That Karolina simply feigned misery for Nico. 

 

Driven by love, she gave a silent nod. Madelyne could have her soul. 

 

The Goblin Queen conjured a pact. “I’ll need your agreement to this deal to be explicitly consensual. I can’t take that which is not given.”

 

“You can have my soul.” Nico forced herself to say. Her name was then written on the piece of paper in blood. She now belonged to damnation. But at least Karolina was spared. 

 

—————————————————————

“So what’s the prize? Longer showers? Better food? Not having to work?” Titania asked as they walked down through a door that separated the inmate zones of the prison from the staff sections. 

 

“Yeah, something like that.” Renee nodded. 

 

They entered what was noticeably an office. Whether it was Renee’s or Weaver’s, Titania couldn’t tell. But the room was much nicer than any other she’d seen in the Raft. Sure it was just a desk, a few filing cabinets, and two rather nice chairs, but that was basically luxurious in comparison to the bunk bed that squealed with every movement and toilet + sink combo that served as the sole decor in her cell. 

 

Weaver guided Titania towards the closest chair.  “Take a seat. We’ll be back with your prize”

 

Titania did as instructed, trying to build her guess as to what the prize could be based on the fact that it would seemingly be a physical object. Maybe paperwork for her pardon? Admittedly even she knew that was getting ahead of herself but it was a pleasant fantasy to imagine that today was the day she finally got out of prison. 

 

Whatever fantasies she had were crushed when the guards returned, pantsless and both sporting great big, novelty-sized, green, veiny strap-ons that Titania immediately recognised as being He-Hulks, sex-toys made and sold by her own company. 

 

Making She-Hulk themed dildos had seemed like a hilarious way of getting under Jennifer Walters’ skin at the time, but Titania just may have begun to regret her decision. “You’ve gotta be fucking with me.”

 

"We're about to be,” Renee grinned. 

 

Titania stood up, pulling at her cuffs in a fury.  “I didn’t just fuck half a cellblock so you could make me your bitch. This is so not a prize!”

 

“It is for us,” Weaver replied while stroking the green cock between her legs. “Nice quality by the way. I’ll definitely leave a positive review of your product…after we’re done railing you of course.”

 

Titania eyes widened, shimmering with utter horror, as the realisation of her inescapable fate dawned too late and inability to fight back in her cuffed state overtook her. Her lips parted, a raw, instinctive gasp tearing free. For a heartbeat everything froze. And so the story ends with a stereotypical freeze-frame of terror.

“Impaled on her own dildo. Poetic isn’t it?” Rio grins, the story now over and the perspective having shifted once more to Death in the dilapidated ruins of the Raft. “And Nico…if only her girlfriend had been more forthcoming with her desire for an open relationship. It seems she’s in for a trip to a place a lot worse all in the name of love.”


“Next time we’ll learn what it’s like to have a shapeshifting terrorist for a mother. Spoiler alert: mommy issues will be the least of Rogue’s problems.”

Chapter 45: Nightmare on Hellblock D — Mystique and Melancholia

Chapter Text

The intake room, like the rest of the Raft, has fallen into a state of decrepitness. Where once it was filled with the humiliated groans of stripped inmates and the snapping of latex gloves, as prisoners passed through the procedure in the first stage of beginning their incarcerated lives, a silence now prevails. 

 

“Welcome back” Rio Vidal’s voice suddenly pierces the quiet. She’s standing opposite a table stacked with time-worn jumpsuits, their stark orange fabric having faded into a dull discolored mass, with her back turned. Despite the overwhelming darkness of the secluded chamber, it’s evident that she’s completely naked. 

 

She turns her skeletal face back to look at you and smiles mischievously before bending over and pulling an outfit up her thin body. When she turns around, she presents her attire. She’s wearing a prison jumpsuit that's moth-eaten, hole-riddled form leaves convenient gaps around her chest. She simply shrugs, snaps her fingers, and the outfit is transformed into a black tank top and jeans with a silver ankh dangling from her neck. 

 

“I just can't decide what I want my costume to be.”

 

She snaps her fingers again and the outfit is enveloped in roots and vines with orange and black flowers blossoming along her head in the shape of a crown.

 

“There.” She grins, satisfied. “Tonight’s story will be about the perils of motherhood…or should I say the perils created by motherhood. There are no limits to the extent that a mother will go to for her child…and that is especially true when said mother is a terrorist serving 100 consecutive life sentences for mass murder, treason, and terrorism. Read on to find out what happens when her dearest daughter wants her to meet the woman of her nightmares…”

Mystique and Melancholia 

 

𖤐⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘𖤐.˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳.𖤐⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘𖤐

 

31st of October, 11:03 AM - The shackles around Rogue’s ankles clattered against the ground like the chains of a ghost as she puffed and heaved with every swing of the pickaxe she took against the cave wall. It was Halloween. A day she held most sacred. Her favourite day of the year. And here she was spending it mining for vibranium while sweating so profusely that the black bra and short skirt she was being forced to wear stuck to her pale skin while she frequently had to adjust the raven-black pigtail wig she had on. Why was she dressed like this? It was a twisted event being put on by the guards. And while normally she liked twisted things, this specific cruel joke on her behalf was just outright sadistic. She apparently had to remain dressed as this porn-parody Wednesday Addams until the holiday was over. 

 

But she knew that wasn’t really what was bothering her so much. No, what had her in an even worse mood than usual was something that had been on her mind for months. Something which had needed to happen ever since her and Kitty Pryde started dating. She desperately wanted to tell her mother that she was dating someone. And, more importantly, she wanted her approval. Because believe it or not, the gloomy and proud Rogue did care what one person thought of her. It just so happened that someone, her mother, was impossible to please. Because her mother was Mystique…

 

It wasn’t easy being the adopted daughter of the famed and feared mutant terrorist (and not just because from as early as she could remember her mother was a wanted woman). They’d always had a strained relationship to put things lightly. Most of the time Rogue didn’t think Mystique even remembered she existed. They hadn’t spoken more than a word since the day that Mystique made her help take out Carol Danvers’ eye – something which Rogue agreed to doing in an incredibly dumb attempt to gain her mother’s approval.  

 

But now, having gotten a guard to assign her to the same chaingang as her mom, she planned to break that wall of silence today, on her favourite holiday, in hopes that she could venture upon a topic that seemed like a guarantee for an unpleasant disaster. 

 

Mystique certainly knew that her daughter was there, having glanced in her direction when they first arrived in the mines for the day, but she had zero interest in speaking with her. The girl was a disappointment at best, and she didn't need her messing up what little was left of this holiday here in the Raft. She'd always been a fan of Halloween too, which was pretty much the only thing that they agreed on. But Mystique wasn't wearing a costume…or anything for that matter. She refused to wear any "slave rags" in prison.

 

Rogue had figured out by now that she would need to be the one to say something, but she still hoped that maybe things would go her way and Mystique would be the first person to speak. But as the exhausting minutes drew on and the most she heard from her were the occasional laboured breaths, she finally accepted that she’d have to talk first.

 

Keeping her cold, emotionless eyes fixed away from her mother’s naked blue body, she chose to get directly to the point. There was no point in prolonging the pain of this wound more than was necessary. “Mom, I’ve been wantin’ to tell you that I’m datin’ someone…” She said in her Southern accent and dry, deadpan tone. 

 

Mystique continued to mine for another couple seconds, before finally deciding to stop. Not because she wanted to talk to Rogue. She was just tired. "Who could possibly want to date you?” She asked. In her mind there was only one explanation for how someone could be so stupid. "I swear if it's a human, I will slaughter them in front of you."

 

Rogue paused, reminding herself that she’d been preparing herself to hear such an inappropriate reaction. She lacked social skills, but even she knew that there were several better ways Mystique could have responded. “She’s a mutant. You actually know her.”

 

Mystique sighed with relief, the only thing that could've made her hate her daughter even more at least being proven untrue. "At least you have some taste. What is her name?"

 

“Kitty” Rogue answered with apprehension. 

 

Mystique's eye seemed to twitch, but other than that she seemed totally calm. ‘Seemed’ being the key word. On the inside she was seething with rage. The two of them had a history dating back years. "Enjoy the time you have with her, because the next time we share a room, I'm going to claim her and you'll have to watch as she's dragged to my cell, never to be seen again."

 

Rogue had been conditioned to put up with a lot from Mystique. Probably (definitely) too much. And that was why she didn’t just put her foot down and firmly say that she wouldn’t let that happen. Instead, she properly looked at Mystique for the first time and said: “I really like her, mom.” She wasn’t about to plead to Mystique to not take Kitty. She’d been taught that pleading was beneath mutants. But her words definitely gave the impression that she was trying to conceal just how desperately she wanted to avoid Kitty being claimed. 

 

To any normal mom, this information would have warmed their hearts, or at least elicited the smallest of smiles. But not Mystique. To her it was disgusting. There was no greater heresy, no bigger failure of the girl she’d raised since childhood, than to fall for some sycophantic sell-out who’d rather bend down on all fours like a dog for the disgusting homo-inferior than stand up for her own species and eradicate the lesser beings which persecuted them. "You're in love with a filthy little gene traitor, Rogue. I'll be doing you a favor." She wiped sweat from her brow and resumed her mining. "How she hasn't been claimed already, I'll never know."

 

Rogue realised she'd gotten distracted by their conversation and had ceased her task. Something she quickly tried to make up for before a guard caught her ‘slacking’ and chose to activate her shock collar. “Well she’s already my bitch” That was an overstatement if there ever was one given that Rogue was just barely not Illyana’s bitch. 

 

Mystique raised an eyebrow and scoffed, while continuing to mine as she thought over the absurdity of that statement. "You have a bitch? Kitty must be more pathetic than I thought."

 

“Yes. She’s…pathetic…but she’s also my girlfriend.” Rogue said while taking an overly aggressive swing at the rocks. It at least gave her a direction to put her frustration about this conversation towards. “Shouldn’t you be proud that I made an X-Man my bitch?”

 

Rogue actually got a chuckle out of Mystique, the blue skinned woman actually turning to her for a moment. "Calling your own girlfriend pathetic. Maybe some of me rubbed off on you after all." She actually even cracked a smile. "But am I proud that you made one of the weakest X-Men your bitch? No, honey. The only thing easier than that would be if you claimed Jubilee."

 

Rogue had some issues with Jubilee ever since the mall-rat had framed her as a panty-thief on a dare. It was something that nearly cost the goth her clit. Hearing Kitty compared to her certainly stung. She thought of saying something, but she didn’t. There was no use. 

 

With a sigh, she felt like giving up on even trying. Mystique was too stubborn to even begin to accept just how much she cared about Kitty.  “Forget that I even brought her up.” She said resentfully. 

 

Mystique huffed as she felt her skin starting to blister. She never got used to that feeling despite it being a common occurrence in the mines. "I'll never forgive that bitch for helping send me to prison. Not even the knowledge that she's in here too is enough to help."

 

“Which time?” Rogue asked, thoughtlessly provoking Mystique. Before the Raft was built, Mystique tended to treat prison like a revolving door. Often doing short stints out of what was supposed to be hundreds of life sentences. Of course, the X-Men had often been the ones to send her back. 

 

Mystique threw her pickaxe to the ground, turning to Rogue and marching over... her chains rattling all the while. "Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? If I did, I'd suggest you lighten your tone..."

 

“No, Mom. I just…” Rogue failed to find the right words to say. She was panicking…it just so happened to look a lot like her usual emotionless demeanour. “...I wanted you to meet Kitty. And maybe tolerate her. For my sake.”

 

Mystique sneered and almost laughed, eyeing Rogue up and down to figure out exactly what this girl was playing at. There had to be an ulterior motive. Surely she didn't just want her tolerance. "Why would you care what I think of her?"

 

Rogue didn’t really have a good answer for that. She hadn’t even really stopped to consider why she really wanted Mystique to care. Had it been a mistake mentioning Kitty at all? The last few months where Mystique hadn’t known had been better than she had the vocabulary to express. Well minus Illyana making their couple a throuple, but it was worth it when she was finally dating Kitty Pryde. 

 

“I don’t know. I just thought I should know if you’d care if you saw us together in the shower or somethin’.” Of course it was shower sex that came to the perpetually horny Rogue’s mind. 

 

Mystique stared in silence for a moment, thinking over those words. "I care that you're dating an X-Man. I don't care that you're dating someone. Now shut up, let me do my work, and then I can make the most of my free time in this awful place."

 

Rogue bitterly nodded in defeat. She truly regretted saying anything at all now. Forcing herself to hold her head up high, she tried to shove down the feeling of hurt and constant abandonment the best she could. She told herself that she didn’t care. But deep down she did. She wanted to say nothing, but if she was going to be trapped chained to Mystique for the next five hours she figured that it may be best to change topics. Resuming her work, she asked: “What do you plan on doing today?” She genuinely did not care about what the answer was. 

 

Mystique rolled her eyes as her daughter began speaking to her again, slamming her pickaxe into the earth as she spoke. "Tormenting my cellmate, attending meetings, finding every human I can and reminding them why they're the inferior species, trying to sleep on that tissue paper they call a mattress..."

 

That sounded like the most absolutely miserable Halloween imaginable. And not in the fun way. Rogue didn’t know what she planned to do with her day now that her initial plan was clearly off the table, but she wanted it to be a lot more festive than that. “You could give your cellmate a tattoo. You haven’t done that yet, have you?”

 

Mystique stopped mid-swing, turning to Rogue with the strangest look on her face. Something swelled inside her. Could it have been...pride? "I haven't... That's not the worst idea you've ever had." That was the nicest thing she'd said to her daughter in years (when she wasn't actively manipulating her).

 

Her mother’s praise only fed into Rogue’s worst impulses. It was the exact reason she’d helped hurt Carol and still didn’t truly regret it much. “I would mark her as my property so that the entire prison knows that anything and anyone in your cell belongs to you.” She sadistically suggested.  

 

Mystique smiled, looking at Rogue with a gleam in her eye. "Mark my roommates? That's a wonderful idea." She then finally finished her swing, already forgetting about Rogue as her thoughts drifted to exactly what she would be permanently inking on Angel and Moira's bodies.

 

————————————————————— 

 

Emerging a few hours later, Rogue was doing an immaculate impression of the character she was dressed as without even trying. Her tired steps were slow and precise with a sort of rigidity to her muscles that gave the effect of a reanimated corpse having freshly risen from its grave. Her back as straight as the blade of a knife. And her pale face, framed by raven-black pigtails, bearing a truly dour countenance that would have made the most gloomy of graveyard statues look positively overjoyed. The conversation with her mother had gone predictably poorly – though it certainly could have gone worse. The fact that she’d managed to shift Mystique's attention to harming her cellmates instead of trying to take Kitty was, in a sense, a victory. Angel and Moira were probably in their cell screaming and pleading by now, but Rogue found their pain and misery vastly preferable to it being Kitty in their place.

 

Reflecting on the conversation, Rogue tried to see where she might have been mistaken. Was it her fault that Mystique reacted in the way that she did? Maybe if she’d tried wording things differently there would have been a far warmer outcome. But, as always, Rogue concluded that Mystique was simply being Mystique and that she had far too high of an expectation if she thought for a moment that Mystique could ever possibly do anything resembling motherly affection. The entire interaction was distressing but tragically not a surprise. 

 

But despite how it had gone, Rogue found herself not as upset as she would have been on any other day. The decor (strings of paper bats and pumpkins which hung overhead, a jack ‘o lantern which sat precariously in the center of the cafeteria, scattered bits of chains, and cartoonish ghosts and ghouls which clung to the walls) which had been put up around parts of the prison, brought the absolute faintest of smiles to her black lips. It was Halloween. A day she cherished above all others and treated like a combination of Christmas and her birthday. It was the day that she came the most alive (or undead). 

 

"Da da da da." A Russian accented voice popped up in Rogue's ear, half-heartedly singing the opening notes to the Addams Family theme. Rogue turned to find Illyana, dressed up as a sexy witch, black top and short skirt revealing almost everything. "Hi there, Wednesday. I love your show."

 

Rogue stared daggers at her, not amused in the slightest. It hadn’t even dawned on her until now that this costume combined with the fact that Illyana already regularly called her ‘Wednesday’ was a recipe for disaster.  “What do you want, Illyana?”

 

Illyana flashed a toothy grin that appeared genuine on the surface but the menace in her eyes was clear. "Just wanna say hi to one of my favorite victims. Should we tell her what we did to her precious pussy, Lockheed?" She held Lockheed up to her ear, smiling wide as she apparently listened to what the dragon puppet dressed as a puppy had to say. "No? Oh well..."

 

“Did to my pussy? You haven’t even touched it.” Rogue was far too tired and annoyed to play whatever game this was. She’d already instinctively readied herself for whatever usual form of bullying she regularly endured and hoped it would be over with quickly.  

 

Illyana actually let out a giggle, smile growing as Rogue acted so uninterested. She liked screams and pleas of mercy, but could grow tired of them after awhile. Mild annoyance was also something Illyana craved, and Rogue displayed it every single time. "That's what you think. Though I guess I should say my pussy, since nothing you have is really yours in here."

 

They’d been cellmates long enough that Rogue tended to try to predict what exactly Illyana would do to her on any given occasion. She’d even become quite proficient at detecting a wedgie ten minutes in advance. It was a weirdly necessary skill in prison. “Just do whatever you’re gonna do already.” She said with a little too much insistence for her own good. 

 

Illayana leaned back confidently, looking Rogue up and down with great excitement. "Pull up your skirt. Assume the position. I'm going to wedgie you so hard, even your own mother will have to feel something for you." She then stood up, crossing her arms and smirking as she waited for the goth to follow her instructions.

 

“Front or back?” Rogue asked. Slouching in compliance, her nimble fingers found the rim of her black skirt and she hitched it up, exposing a lacy black thong. Apparently the usual prison-issued underwear would have ruined the ‘authenticity’ of the outfit. Rogue had tried telling Officer Weaver that Wednesday by no means wore thongs but that was met by a harsh baton-blow to the butt.

 

Illyana let out the softest of moans, reaching down and sticking her hand in her skirt. She loved this. Knowing she held the fate of the girl's intimate areas in her hands. "Back... but I'll move to the front if you're a bad girl. So be good for mommy, and you won't have your coochie cut with cotton."

 

Rogue absolutely hated being told to be a good girl. It was almost more degrading than being wedgied in the middle of a hallway. Almost. Sighing, she turned around and bent over for her bully. The sooner this was over with the better. 

 

Illyana sauntered over, grabbing a handful of lacy waistband and giving it a pull with her non-puppeted hand. Her other hand went up to her ear. "Oh yes, Lockheed. Rogue's ass does look even cuter than normal today. So red. How did that happen?"

 

“I slipped. In the mine.” Rogue hastily lied. She wasn’t about to say she got her ass spanked by a horny guard. 

 

Illyana pursed her lips, recognizing whenever the girl lied to her. She let go of the thong, sliding her hand over to the front before giving that a harsh tug. "What did I say about being good? Good girls don't lie." She gave another hard pull before letting go once more. "Tell mommy the truth or I pull these up to your itty bitty titties..."

 

Rogue flinched. She wished it was just because of the pain of the thong embedding itself between her pussy lips, but it wasn’t entirely that. Given how touch-deprived she was, the sensation of anything rubbing against her crotch always made her mildly aroused. “I’m not…” She reconsidered. What was worse, getting her panties pulled up to her tits or saying she got abused by a guard like 90% of the other inmates? “Fine. Weaver hit my butt with her baton…several times.”

 

Illyana was less than sympathetic to Rogue's plight, letting the thong snap back but still laughing at the girl's embarrassment. "Good. You don't deserve a comfortable ass." With that, she resumed pulling from the back while cackling like the witch she was dressed as. "Now I've played with your pussy and your vagina."

 

“Good for you.” Rogue said dryly, gritting her teeth as the underwear began riding up her pasty buttcrack now.  

 

Illyana frowned. This goth really wasn't getting what she was implying, was she? She pulled harder, admiring the clear imprint on the girl's ass despite her frustration. "It’s about time someone put some colour into this pale ass again. It's what losers get."

 

Rogue clenched her toes as she was raised to the tips of them, being pulled harder and harder. The pain was intense yet familiar. It was only the thousandth wedgie she’d gotten from Illyana. She suppressed any pained groans to avoid letting Illyana have the satisfaction of her crying out. 

 

Illyana began to bounce the goth, watching her ass jiggle as she was repeatedly yanked up and down on her toes by the pulling of the thong. "I'm moving to Rahne and Dani after. I really want to ruin their day. Any ideas?"

 

“I don’t know. I’m sure you’ll figure something out.” Rogue tried to dismiss, head cast down to look down at the floor. If her mind hadn’t currently been occupied attempting to recite Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus in a futile attempt to take her mind off the burning pain on her behind, she may have been able to provide actual ideas.  “Just do what you always do. They’re pathetic enough for it to still make them-” What she was saying was cut off by the next tug. 

 

"You're right. They are pretty pathetic. I mean, what other couple would let someone else keep them from having sex?" A cruel smile then appeared on her face. "Maybe I should start doing that with you and Pussy."

 

Rogue had just reached the line ‘the virginal brides file past his tomb, strewn with time's dead flowers bereft in deathly bloom’ when something clicked. How had she missed it? It was so obvious! If that was Illyana’s new nickname for Kitty…

 

“What did you do to her?!” She immediately asked, actual panic reaching her voice. 

 

Illyana's grin took up her entire face as Rogue finally put the pieces together, delivering a hard smack to her butt that was only padded by the Lockheed puppet. "What did I do to who?" She punctuated her sentence with another hard tug to the thong, tearing the thin strand of floss into Rogue's crack.

 

Rogue, losing focus on her attempt to remain stoic, grunted in pain as the cotton rode up her ass and excruciatingly began being tugged up and down. She felt like she was being sawn in half, Terrifier-style. “You said you did something-” she was stopped by the thong lodging itself deeper “-to my ‘precious pussy.’ What did you do to Kitty?”

 

Illyana snickered, giving a pull so hard that the thong began to pop. "Nothing too bad. Just that thing she's always begged me not to do. It's Halloween. I'm in a fun mood." She then leaned in close, giving another vicious yank as she whispered in the goth's ear. "The screams as I shoved my fist up her tight little ass..."

 

At any minute the thong was surely going to rip and Rogue was going to be left going commando for the rest of the day, but that was the least of her concerns. Illyana was a sadist and Rogue could only imagine how rough she must have been when she violated Kitty’s tight hole. “I-Is she in the infirmary?” Rogue was worried about there being serious damage. 

 

Illyana giggled and gave one final pull, tearing the thong in half. "I walked her there... after shoving a broom handle at that booty. It went in easier than my hand." More accurately, she dragged Kitty there by the arm, making her limp the whole way there in extreme discomfort. "Never did hear what the doctor said though."

 

When the thong tore, Illyana’s grip on Rogue was broken and the goth went tumbling face-first against the ground. It was honestly a relief though. What wasn’t a relief was Illyana’s account of what happened to Kitty. “Are we done now? I want to go check on her.” She asked hurriedly. 

 

Illyana hummed in thought, exaggeratedly tapping her chin before nodding. "For now." She then shoved the shredded thong in the girl's mouth. "Chew on that until you get to the infirmary. We'll have more fun later."

 

Rogue didn’t take the panties out of her mouth. It wasn’t worth fighting Illyana over it when she was being allowed to leave. Standing up and straightening her skirt because the security camera on the wall probably just caught an amazing upskirt shot, she crossed her arms and walked past Illyana with her destination set. 

 

Kitty would be found in the infirmary like Illyana said, groaning as she laid in bed on her stomach, broom handle thankfully removed. All she wanted was her precious girlfriend there to comfort her, and would light up as she laid eyes on her. "Roguey! You're here."

 

“Roguey?” Rogue immediately questioned with a hint of disdain in her voice as she approached. She wasn’t the best at timing. She was concerned about Kitty, but (again) her people skills were really bad.

 

Kitty bit her lip, feeling very judged for her attempt at a pet name, one she realized might be a little stupid. "I- I mean Rogue. Rogue. That's what I was saying..." She squirmed a little, debating what to say next. "Did Illyana... tell you?"

 

“She did…a-are you ok?” Rogue’s stern voice softened as she rested her gloved right hand on Kitty’s asscheek. With the pet name thing out of the way, she could fully focus on Kitty’s plight. 

 

Kitty cringed in pain as she thought over how best to answer. "No." It was a truthful answer at least. She blushed hard, rubbing her other cheek with her hand, nails painted in colourful hughes as part of her Enid costume, the rest of which was on a nearby chair. "The, um... the doctor said that, like, apparently my... butthole won't be as tight as before..."

 

“You are in prison, no one’s butt is as tight as it was before. I won’t mind…will you?” Rogue was trying to be supportive by expressing that, as damage went, an expanded butthole wasn’t the worst thing possible. 

 

Kitty smiled happily. "Awww, thank you Roguey- Rogue. I guess if you're like totally fine with it, it won't be so bad..." For as stressed out and embarrassed as Kitty was to hear Illyana had done permanent damage, and as traumatized as she was about her most feared punishment finally being done to her, she was genuinely happier now that her girlfriend was here. A pout would briefly appear though. "I bet Illyana's is still tight..."

 

“If you want me to touch her I will.” Rogue was serious and took one of her gloves off to prove it. She risked being tossed in the hole for months if she did that, but if Kitty wanted revenge it was more than worth it. 

 

Kitty's eyes widened as she shook her head. As much as she wanted to see Illyana pay, she really didn't want to risk losing Rogue. "N-no, it's cool. Maybe when I get out of here, we can hang out. But you don't have to stay. I can find you later. I know how special Halloween is to you."

 

A deeply tempting offer, but Rogue had started this day with Kitty in mind and she planned to keep it that way (even if meeting Mystique was no longer an option). “I’ll stay with you. But only if you’re sure you don’t want me to make Illyana feel like every strip of skin is bein’ slowly flayed off.”

 

Kitty bit her lip. It certainly wasn't that she didn't want Illyana to feel that way... and if Rogue made such a sacrifice and touched her until she was 'no longer a problem,' they certainly would be saving a lot of people... until Illyana's bitches inevitably got claimed by someone else. "I’m sure. But, like, thank you for being so protective. She'd probably take it out on us and make things, like, more miserable. I like being allowed to have sex with you." Poor Dani and Rahne…

 

Rogue nodded in understanding while not quite taking the offer off of the table. She’d considered just taking things into her own hands in the past, but she was worried about what would happen to Kitty while she was gone. 

 

Shifting from one awkward conversation to the next, Rogue said: “I talked to my mom…”

 

Kitty blushed, biting her lip as her heartrate picked up. "Oh... I'm sorry..." She and Rogue had already discussed introducing Kitty to Mystique. “What’d she say?"

 

“She said, and I quote, that I should ‘enjoy the time I have with you, because the next time you and her share a room, she was going to claim you and I’ll have to watch as you're dragged to her cell, never to be seen again.” Rogue recited near verbatim. She sounded more disappointed than concerned. 

 

“I dealt with it.” Rogue assured without further elaboration. When she saw Kitty’s confused reaction, she supposed that maybe she should elaborate.  “She’s distracted tattooing her cellmates. Probably won’t even be an issue for us. I don’t think she’ll even remember talkin’ to me if I’m being honest.” That last sentence was said with distinct hurt. 

 

Kitty bit her lip. "I'm so sorry, Roguey. That must feel awful." She tried so hard to fill the void in her girlfriend's life, but she knew she couldn't replace a loving mom.

 

That was simultaneously helpful and unhelpful. And Rogue expressed as much. “Thank you for your sympathy…but call me Roguey again and I’ll have to put that mop back inside you and you can pull it out yourself.” That was meant as a joke.

 

Kitty was immediately hurt. She genuinely was just trying to express her love for her girlfriend, so to not only have that denied, but to be threatened with reliving one of the worst things to ever happen to her. "You can go now. Go celebrate Halloween. Look at the decorations and everything it is you're wanting to do." It wasn't a suggestion.

 

Rogue didn’t try to be a self-centered asshole, but her upbringing didn’t exactly make her the most understanding of when what she said was going too far. To any normal person, jokingly threatening her girlfriend with reliving a traumatic experience because she dared call her a pet name was a massive overreaction. But Rogue would have been oblivious to that if Kitty hadn’t reacted in the way she did. 

 

In a nervous scramble to not be pushed away by the only person who cared about her, Rogue quickly changed her tune. “I didn’t mean it like that, Kitty. I-I’m sorry. I want to stay with you.”

 

Kitty smiled, reaching out and taking Rogue's gloved hand, enjoying the closeness even if they couldn't actually touch. "Thank you. I like really appreciate your apology. And I'll um try not to say... that name anymore..."

 

Hand in Kitty’s, Rogue knelt beside Kitty’s bed. She was immensely grateful that Kitty accepted her apology. At least she realised she messed up and tried to change…even if it was slow. The thing she feared most was being turned away by her. “I would appreciate that. I’ll be more careful about what I say.”

 

Kitty shyly looked away as she smiled. Rogue was very rough around the edges, but she knew she loved her. And she knew she was trying very hard to not be like her mother. Provided she never screwed up worse than a couple seconds ago, Kitty would gladly stick by her girlfriend. She then whined as the momentary lull in the conversation brought extra attention to her stinging, sore hole. "Oh my god, my butt like seriously hurts..."

 

“I could help…if you want.” Rogue said almost on instinct. She’d already moved to be leaned over her girlfriend's rear. What she was thinking of wasn’t exactly subtle. 

 

Kitty's eyes widened once more, seeming to be her default expression at this point. "I... I do want that." She felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness, the latter feeling eliciting this response. "Just, like, be gentle, whatever you do."

 

“I-I can touch you, right?” Rogue was always careful to make sure Kitty was half-phased before they touched. Even a kiss was often predated by concern for Kitty’s well-being. 

 

Kitty paused for a moment, putting some effort into a partial phase, before nodding. "Ready!"

 

Resting her arms on the bed, Rogue extended her tongue and then leaned in close to Kitty’s sore butt. She gave one final look just to double check Kitty was ready and, when it was received, she wasted no time at all beginning to lick her girlfriend’s crack to her heart’s content. One great thing about Rogue was that she always gave any sexual act her all and this was no exception. 

 

Kitty let out a surprised gasp, knowing it was coming but still taken aback by how passionate Rogue was. She forgot all about the burning in her butt as she squirmed and writhed in delight. "W-wow. T-this actually makes me feel so much better..."

 

Rogue was far too busy lapping away at Kitty like the Raft’s finest trained bitch to say anything in response, but she took pride in her apparent proficiency. It was a well established rule that only someone low on the prison hierarchy would lick another woman’s ass, but Rogue couldn’t have cared less. If it would make Kitty feel better (and forget about how she lashed out just moments ago) it would be more than worth it.

The curtain wasn’t drawn around Kitty’s bed so the passing Dr. Claire Temple caught more than a glimpse of the goth going down on the valley girl, but Rogue didn’t even notice. 

 

Kitty started to moan, sliding her hand down to her crotch and slowly beginning to hump it. Her adorable squeaks and noises of delight popped out of her every few seconds. She looked back at Rogue with loving eyes, trying to smile but ultimately just biting her lip and enjoying the girl's loving actions.

 

Moans escaped Rogue’s lips as her gloved hands gripped the sides of Kitty’s cheeks and began enthusiastically kneading the flesh of Kitty’s rather narrow butt. Her heart drummed in her chest, pounding louder and louder in excitement. The sounds Kitty made drove her onwards, pace quickening with every flick of her tongue. 

 

Kitty continued humping her hands, moans getting louder and more shameless as she forgot all about the fact they were in public...though in prison, you got used to that pretty quickly. "K-keep going... Y-yes, baby..." She wasn't good at sex talk. ‘Yes, baby’ was the best she could do without sounding like a huge loser.

 

Rogue didn’t seem to mind the rather typical exclamations considering she was just excited that Kitty was enjoying her efforts. The fact that she could have sex at all never failed to feel like a pleasant nightmare she didn’t wish to wake up from. This Halloween already wasn’t what Rogue had hoped it would be, but with her lips pressed against the pucker of Kitty’s butthole, lighting Kitty’s jack-o-lantern made the rest seem unimportant. 

 

Meanwhile, Kitty finally slid her fingers inside her pussy, like an eager trick or treater searching for the best piece of candy, her hand going, well, hand-in-hand with Rogue's tongue to produce a magical sensation as she finally came.

 

And yet Rogue didn’t yet stop, so the valley girl just laid there awkwardly, squirming a little as she waited for Rogue to wrap up. Just because she'd gotten off, it didn't mean Rogue couldn't still get some enjoyment out of it. As Rogue continued to lick her ass like a lollipop, Kitty slumped down and tried to stave off boredom. 

 

Rogue removed one of her gloves and then kept it up while fingering herself. It only took a couple of minutes before she gushed against her fingertips given how much of a lightweight she was. Wiping the fluids off on her skirt, Rogue stopped and then stood up, satisfied. It was odd how quickly her demeanor shifted back to her usual coldness. 

 

Kitty turned to Rogue with a bright smile, happy with how quickly her terrible day had turned into a fairly decent one. "The, uh... the doctor said I could go whenever I'm ready. Do you think you could, like, help me walk around today? While I'm sore?"

 

“Of course.” Rogue agreed, putting back on her glove and then extending her hand out to help Kitty up. 

 

Kitty was thrilled to hear that, a small part of her worrying that Rogue may be too embarrassed. She took Rogue's hand and slowly, carefully climbed out of bed, immediately feeling the soreness in her ass returned as she got to her feet. She let out a whine, then gingerly rubbed at her rear and whimpered.

 

—————————————————————

 

Mystique had happily taken Rogue's advice and was now tattooing her cellmates. Angel Salvador was lying naked on the floor, breasts against the cold ground as Mystique put some permanent ink on her ass.

 

Moria McTaggart was sitting in the corner, whimpering softly as she gingerly touched the fresh tattoo above her eyes, the result of her fighting back when told of her mistress' intentions.

 

Angel knew better and submitted immediately, so she wasn't faced with having the word cunt plastered on her forehead for all to see. 

 

The feeling of the needle plunging into the tender flesh of her asscheek wasn’t the most pleasant of feelings, but Angel was no stranger to tattoo work. The main thing on her mind, besides wondering what exactly Mystique was writing, was just how over prison she was. In hindsight, her decision to join the Hellfire Club was pretty regrettable. 

 

Mystique didn't say a word as she tattooed a Jack o' Lantern smile onto Angel's ass (inspired by the similar imagery on Darcy’s decorated butt she’d seen earlier that day), her eyes trained on the thick flesh in front of her, and Moira's adorably pathetic whimpers. She flashed a smile of her own as the tattoo grinned at its maker. For once, she actually had something to thank Rogue for.

 

A smirk played at the gold coloured lips of Emma Frost in the cell across as she draped herself dramatically against the bars. The White Queen was dressed as a sexy angel – wearing a mini-skirt that wasn't even long enough to conceal the white lace underwear she’d been given for the day, a feathery top, a pair of wings, a golden and white masquerade mask, and a mini halo to pull the look together. While the outfit was eye-roll worthy, it was better than the original costume (Elsa) that she’d negotiated her way out of. “When you’re done with the pumpkin butt-ed bitch, do send her over.” She spoke like the words were too boringly beneath her to speak. 

 

Meanwhile Angel suddenly angrily exclaimed: “Pumpkin butt?!”

 

Mystique nodded at Emma, before moving her eyes back to Angel's butt without  another word. She just focused on getting the tattoo just right. "I'll take Cunt then."

 

Moira tensed at the nickname, balling her fists with the urge to attack the mutant terrorist bubbling up…but unclenching when she remembered how futile it was. She wasn’t some weak new girl who didn’t know a thing about prison and got cornered in the shower because she slipped and dropped the soap. When she leaked classified CIA documents that detailed the abuses of power exercised for the sake of the Accords, she knew that prison would be bad. What she didn't expect was that she’d be taken to the Raft instead of a normal prison. In this place she was easy prey. She’d tried to fight back when Mystique forced herself on her. She’d even tried to kill her. But it had gotten her nowhere. All she could do was try to hold back tears as she imagined taking a shiv to Mystique's throat. 

 

“What a delightful new nickname. It’s far more memorable than the old one. I no longer even recall what exactly it was.” Emma remarked, revelling in Moira’s misery. She wasn't lying at least. She genuinely hadn’t bothered to remember the name of someone she’d lived across from for the last two years. 

 

Mystique briefly stopped tattooing Angel's ass, turning to Moira's with a sadistic grin. "Her permanent name. She'll be known as Cunt for the rest of her life." She then got right back to it, finishing up and giving a hard smack to the fresh tat on her bitch's butt.

 

Angel pathetically gasped aloud, losing any cool demeanour she had, and then let out a low groan. At least she didn’t have a dumb nickname.

“Get up, Bitch o' Lantern. Time to have some fun with Emma." Mystique got to her feet, kicking Angel in-between her spread legs just for the fun of it. She then shot Moira a disturbingly excited look.

 

Twenty minutes later, Moira lay stomach-down on the bottom bunk. Eyes glassed-over, she stared at the wall in some attempt to distance herself from the pain Mystique was inflicting on her rear. The boring, grey surface did little to help pull her away. She’d counted the tally marks over and over again until the numbers were practically meaningless. There was no escape from her life trapped with the terrorist.

 

Mystique sat beside the bunk, smoking a cigarette as she always did after sex, and occasionally reaching over and giving hard smacks to Moira's ass. "Thank me, Cunt. Thank me for your tattoo." In no way was she done tormenting her bitch.

 

Swallowing hard, Moira forced her voice to obey in hopes that compliance would make Mystique leave her alone sooner than defiance would. “Thank you” She said hoarsely, her strained tone just barely above a whisper. 

 

Mystique rolled her eyes, not at all pleased by the softness of her voice. So she took another drag of her cigarette, then brought it down on her spanked asscheek. "Louder, Cunt."

 

Moira balled her fists against the bed as thoughts of repeatedly stabbing Mystique in the showers filled her head. The image of her tormentor’s naked blue body collapsed dead against the tiles as her red blood flowed into and merged with the dirty water was the only semblance of peace that she found. It also gave her the fortitude to push through the indignities she was forced to endure. Like having to thank Mystique for assaulting her. “Thank you” Moira repeated, her voice cracking as she raised it. 

 

Mystique smiled cruelly and returned to simply smoking the cigarette. "Good Cunt. I was about to burn your asshole if you stayed quiet." She then smacked her ass once more, right on the spot where the cigarette had burned her.

 

Despite her advanced CIA training, Moira couldn’t help but yelp before throwing her right hand back and trying to rub the tender spot in an effort to soothe it. She didn’t speak in fear that Mystique may take anything she said as a challenge.

 

The shapeshifting mutant took a brief break from torturing Moira to just lean against the side of the bed and relax, enjoying her cigarette as she thought back on the day's event.

 

Her thoughts turned to her daughter and the utter disappointment she'd turned out to be. Dating that X-Bitch was the cherry on top of the awful sundae that was Rogue.

 

Her thoughts then went way back to the first time she saw the girl, to when Rogue was just a defenseless child. Pathetically weak, but full of potential. If Rogue was still pathetically weak now, maybe she still had that potential.

 

But was Kitty holding her back, or could she somehow aid Rogue in her journey to becoming the fearsome mutant Mystique had once believed she could become? 

 

—————————————————————

 

Rogue held Kitty’s hand in a corner of the largely abandoned cafeteria, the couple tucked away in an effort to remain as far from Illyana as possible. It had been a rough enough Halloween without the demon finding them again. 

 

They’d seen most of the decor by now and their effort to go to the rec room had been halted when they saw Gwendolyn Pool and Cassie Lang on the couch with the opposite ends of a dildo in their mouths. 

 

“Do you ever think about what you’d do if you ever got outta here?” Rogue pondered aloud glumly. 

 

Kitty pulled her attention away from the only other inmates in the cafeteria right then, Kate and Yelena, the latter woman making her girlfriend play 'guess where I shoved this candy bar,' as she now crammed the defiled food inside the archer's mouth.

 

She looked up at Rogue while still leaning against the woman's chest, and began to think. "Probably try and go back to helping mutants. I guess I'd need some kind of, like, day job or something to keep my cover up, but I'm not really sure what I'd do. I've always been an X-Man."

 

“We wouldn’t be much of a team, but I think I’d want to be there with you. Even if us making a big impact is futile with the way the world is.” Rogue said, being jarringly sweet. 

 

Kitty gave a characteristically sweet smile, very pleasantly surprised by how nice an answer Rogue gave. A rare Rogue response not dripping with sarcasm. "Fer sure! The two of us, like, totally chipping away at the bad guys." She then sighed happily, closing her eyes and really nuzzling herself against Rogue even if the movement caused her ass pain to intensify a bit. "There's literally no one I'd rather save mutants with than you."

 

Something began to stir in the back of Rogue’s mind, an overwhelming sense of her own hypocrisy, before becoming flashes of that day in the mine. Of Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau helplessly being mutilated while Rogue helped hold them down. She still remembered the way Mystique and Jean smiled as the shiv carved open Carol’s eye. How she herself had removed her gloves before touching Monica to keep her obedient before a pickaxe was swung down on two of Monica’s fingers. How could Rogue be a hero after what she’d done? 

 

She reassured herself that it was about survival, that the Galaxy Gals had been the enemy of the Sisterhood, and she’d let herself feel comfortable in that justification. But she couldn’t help but dread what Kitty may think if she knew. 

 

She was silent as she held Kitty in her arms, redirecting her focus to how grateful she was to have someone she could touch. 

 

The padding of feet against the ground was audible as Mystique entered. She stopped in front of the girls, and stared sternly down at the couple. "You wanted me to meet your girlfriend?"

 

Rogue’s perpetually sullen eyes drifted up to her mother looming over them, her surprise quickly becoming concern at what Mystique’s intentions may be. Mystique’s shape may shift, but her stances rarely did. “What made you change your mind?” She immediately questioned. 

 

Mystique crossed her arms, her steely gaze initially landing on Rogue, before settling on Kitty, who immediately went pale. "I figured I should make sure this girl is a good influence on my daughter. Are you complaining?"

 

“No” Rogue replied flatly while Kitty was currently remembering how she’d voiced her concern about meeting Mystique to Illyana who’d proceeded to try to help her…in her own weird, painful way. 

 

Kitty swallowed nervously, looking between Rogue and Mystique for a moment before stumbling to her feet, clearly wincing and limping as she did so. She was still very sore from earlier, but extended her hand with a smile, which hid just how petrified she was. "Hi!"

 

Mystique took a glance down at Kitty’s extended hand, rejecting the peace offering without a word, and then locked eyes with the brunette. “Why are you dating my daughter?”

 

Kitty was taken aback by this response, even with Illyana's ‘help’ earlier. She quickly lowered her hand and began to shiver, suddenly very aware of just how naked and exposed she was in her costume. "I... because... I really like her. And she really likes me... That's, like... how that works."

 

“Yes…I know how dating works.”Mystique was certain that Irene was rolling in her grave at the type of woman their daughter had seemingly grown attached to. Clearly Rogue hadn't inherited the exquisite taste in women that either of her mothers possessed. “What about Rogue specifically do you like?”

 

From her place in the background, Rogue listened intently. Just as curious as Mystique. 

 

Kitty bit her lip, but would smile as she began to think up a list of reasons. "She's super sweet, at least to me. She treats me well. She's really, like, drop-dead gorgeous. She makes me smile, even when things get really bad in here. I can't imagine a life in prison without her."

 

“Most would describe my daughter as cold, distant, and overall sadistic.” Mystique said, getting a somewhat pleased reaction from Rogue before the goth remembered that she was also flattered by Kitty’s description. 

 

Kitty nodded shyly, rubbing the back of her neck as she laughed nervously. "Y-yeah, I was worried about that at first, but she's never really like that with me. M-maybe distant sometimes, but she usually makes up for it later. And it's nice to have someone to protect me too. At least she tries to." She would blush at that last part, remembering the times where the attempted protection didn't work.

 

“So my daughter is obligated to protect you. You’re her bitch, not her girlfriend, Kitty.” Mystique replied. 

 

“She can be both…” Rogue tried to retort before Mystique raised a finger to tell her to be quiet. 

Kitty was utterly mortified by both Mystique's words and how Rogue failed to defend her the way Pryde wanted. "I... I'm not her bitch. L-Lots of people protect their girlfriends. It's not just a prison thing..."

 

Mystique didn’t seem very convinced by that answer. “I suppose you’d know all about what is and isn’t a prison thing. Considering that you helped put me in the Icebox…”

 

Kitty audibly whined, this meeting almost immediately going south. "I... I'm sorry. You were committing crimes. Like, what was I supposed to do?" She probably could have found a way to apologize and not say that Mystique was responsible, but Kitty's moral views were strong. She glanced at Rogue, hoping she could either help or give her a reassuring smile.

 

Asking Rogue to smile was like asking Wednesday Addams to smile. It was as momentous as a full moon on Halloween night. But, not completely oblivious, she did understand that Kitty was uncomfortable and began to speak before Mystique cut her off, incensed.

 

“My crimes were for the liberation of mutantkind from the oppression forced upon us by homo-inferior. Our brothers and sisters are hunted and prosecuted like criminals just because they were born more evolved than the currently dominant race. They build weapons to exterminate us. They treat us like animals and they fill their prisons with our people. Perhaps, child, you should have picked your own side instead of being a worthless gene-traitor who sold out her own people to gain the favour of those who would gladly oppress her.” Mystique wasn’t some loud, raging madwoman ranting. But, surprisingly, her voice seemed to drop to a low, serious tone as she expressed her stance. “But now look at you. The humans you saved turned on you just like the rest of us.”

 

Kitty lowered her head yet again. She'd always believed she was doing the right thing, fighting for a world where humans and mutants could live in harmony. She still believed in that fight. That it was possible. But right now, being imprisoned by those very same humans, just like Magneto and Mystique always said they'd be... she'd be lying if she didn't sometimes worry she'd indeed chosen the wrong side. "N-not all humans. Just the bad ones."

 

Without a beat, Mystique had one simple response. “They are all bad ones.” Life had taught her that there was no world where humanity and mutants could peacefully co-exist. It was a survival of the fittest world and she would not stand by and watch her species be the one driven to extinction. 

 

“You must think the Raft is Hell, child. And perhaps it is. But the word doesn’t begin to describe the place you subjected me, and many of our sisters, to. In the Icebox we were starved, beaten, and raped. Forced to feed on what little scraps we could find. And forced to fight each other for those scraps. When we weren’t fighting each other, we were worked half to death in the blistering cold breaking rocks in a quarry for long, hard hours. It didn’t matter how our fingers froze or our bodies ached. It didn’t even matter if we dropped dead. We weren’t allowed to rest unless the guards told us we could.

There was no unity among the prisoners. No gangs. We did what we could to survive. To dominate. I spent my first week in a frigid cell with eight other mutant women and only one bunk bed. There was this woman there named Lady Deathstrike who already ruled the cell when I arrived. She would use her cellmates as a means to keep herself warmer than the thin blankets we were provided would allow…but not before initiating new arrivals by buttfucking them with a bar of soap she’d fastened into a dick and then  using her adamantium fingernails to carve ‘bitch’ into their skin. 

 

But not me. She knew who I was…or at least she did after she tried it on me. Prison is all about respect, Kitty, and we respected each other. I didn’t bother her and she didn’t bother me. But she had a bad nightly habit. Imagine for a second that you’ve just spent the last eighteen hours freezing in a tundra swinging a pickaxe into jagged rocks. You’re cold. Your body is aching so bad that it hurts to live. After finally being returned to yoru cell you collapse. And then every night, like clockwork, You have to hear Deathstrike's adamantium nails scratching against each other as she grinds them against her soaking wet twat. You have to hear the bed creak incessantly as she kicks and shakes and the obnoxious little moans she makes…

 

…until one night, after a week of having to hear it, you get up and grab the shiv you’ve been keeping under your pillow. You look into her blissed out eyes as her fingers swirl up her pussy. You know that she’s just as she’s on the verge of a loud climax when you strike that shiv into her throat.”

 

Kitty stared at the woman in horror for a second struggling to think of a way to respond. She settled on completely ignoring the awful things she'd just said. "W-well... you're here now, and we're here, and Rogue makes life in prison actually bearable. You never have to worry about me taking your daughter for granted. I'm thankful for her every day."

 

Rogue rolled her eyes, having heard some variation of it all before from her mother. The Icebox was terrible, but it wasn’t a Soviet Union era gulag. For better or worse, it was a prison just like any other.

She stood up and took Kitty’s hand in hers once again before staring at Mystique.

“I enjoy her presence, mom. She’ll understand…eventually. But she won’t survive in a place like this long enough to understand if I’m not here to protect her.”

 

Mystique pursed her lips but didn’t have an immediate response for that while Kitty just flashed a cheesy grin as Rogue defended her, leaning in close to her girlfriend and staring intensely at Mystique, praying that the woman would say something encouraging or supportive.

 

There was a long silence as Mystique processed what Rogue was saying. During which it was impossible to determine what exactly was going through her head. Did she feel betrayed? Proud? Angry? Rogue certainly didn’t know and that made her dark heart beat rapidly in her chest. 

 

Until, finally, she said something. 

 

“You’re choosing to fuck the woman who sent me to the Icebox over your own mother, Rogue?”  Her voice conveyed that she was genuinely hurt…or she was trying to sound that way as a means of manipulation. 

 

Kitty let out a whimper as she took Rogue's hand, the memory of her earlier roleplay with Illyana still fresh in her mind. She wouldn't actually ban her from dating Rogue, would she? "I'm really, really sorry, Mystique." This was true... she was sorry things had gotten to the point where arrest was necessary at least.

 

Mystique took a step closer to the couple, looking like she was ready to strangle Rogue. But, while she wasn’t a great mother, she would have never physically abused her daughter. Even if she really wanted to. “Fine. You’re an adult now, Rogue. If you want to make your own grave I am helpless to do anything but allow you to bury yourself in it. But don’t you dare call yourself my daughter.”

 

With that, she walked away. 

 

Rogue just stood in place, distraught. She didn’t shed a tear nor did she show some other emotional reaction, but her complete stillness was her own way of conveying just how broken she felt.  

 

Kitty's jaw dropped at that, completely shocked by the cruelty with which Mystique spoke to her beloved girlfriend. She turned to Rogue, feeling sick at the telltale signs of the goth being in pain. She immediately wrapped her up in a hug, squeezing her tight and desperately scrambling for a response. "I... I... I don't know what to say."

 

Rogue felt overwhelmed by the feeling of Kitty’s arms thrown around her. Overwhelmed by her mother’s rejection. Overwhelmed by how, in this moment, she resented the way Kitty represented the way in which she would never live up to what Mystique wanted. 

 

It came crashing down on her all at once and, in a fit of emotion, she shoved Kitty back. 

 

“Leave me alone.” She demanded before she realised what she’d done and her eyes went wide in shock. 

 

Kitty's eyes widened to match Rogue's, equally surprised by the action and biting her lip hard. "If... i-if you think we should we should break up to make your mom happy, I... I guess we could, uh... d-do that." Even just saying it made her sick though.

 

“No. I’m sorry. I-” Rogue didn’t know what to say, the words getting stuck in her throat as she raced to find some response. She knew that, more than anything, she wanted to be with Kitty. And she wanted to say that, but her own sudden outburst had taken her by surprise. 

 

Guilt and panic now weighed atop the mountain of feelings the conversation with Mystique had wrought. From that, dread that she may say or do anything to ruin their relationship was created. “-I’m really sorry, but I think I need to be alone right now.”

 

Kitty couldn't keep a whimper from leaving her mouth, the mutant instantly blushing at the noise as she gave Rogue a nod. Then something happened. Her sadness turned to anger. Anger not directed at Rogue, but at her total bitch of a mother. She immediately stormed off, hurrying after Mystique, and when she'd finally caught up to her, she grabbed the woman by the shoulder and turned her around. "You're a monster!"

 

“A monster?” Mystique smirked, more amused than insulted. “I’m a mother. Or at least I was one before you stole my daughter from me.”

 

Kitty grit her teeth, actually getting fired up by just how cold and callous this woman was.

 

"You're like a terrible mother! Rogue really cares about you for some reason and what you think, and you act like she's a total disappointment just 'cause she's not exactly like you. It’s so unfair!" She took a breath, trying to calm herself, though she just got angrier. "Rogue is, like, the best person I know. She's amazing and you have no idea how lucky you are to have a daughter like her. So start showing her the respect she deserves, or don't show your face again!"

 

Mystique slowly turned around, her smirk falling to a threatening expression of barely concealed rage. She got close to Kitty, close enough to harm her if she wanted to. 

 

“Who are you to tell me how I should treat my daughter? You don’t know anything about her beyond the poisonous ideologies you and the X-Men filled her head with. I raised my daughter to be a survivor, not some soft, human-saving, flower. If not for your people, Rogue wouldn’t be too much of a coward to stand up to Illyana.”

 

Although she didn’t care to follow her daughter’s incarcerated life, Mystique was aware of the way Illyana treated Rogue. She’d just never stepped in to help because she felt it was Rogue’s battle to fight.

 

Kitty's righteous fury faltered somewhat as she was scolded and threatened by Mystique's proximity to her body, the girl stumbling to find a good response. But she was determined not to give in just like that. "Your daughter is beautiful and wonderful and...and she doesn't deserve you!"

 

“And you don’t deserve her,” Mystique fired back. 

 

Those words clearly stung, Kitty biting her lip and lowering her head. Maybe she had a point. Wouldn't a good girlfriend be able to defend herself from the scary people in the Raft? Shouldn't she be able to protect Rogue? "She's too good for both of us."

 

—————————————————————

 

A little while later, Kitty sat alone in her cell, thinking over everything. She honestly didn't know what she would do if Rogue broke up with her. She needed her. She was pretty sure she loved her, even if it almost felt too soon to say that. But at the end of the day, she knew she couldn't make Rogue do anything. If the goth thought it was best for them to split up, she would have to be happy with that.

 

When Rogue returned, she was stoic. But that was hardly new for her. She looked at Kitty, her expression unreadable. Time seemed to stop as the fear of what Rogue was going to say built up with every millisecond of silence.

“I’m so sorry, Kitty.” She managed to say, her voice loud in its passion. “I want to be with you. More than anything. I don’t care what my mother thinks.”

 

Kitty released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, smiling wide as a few happy tears formed in her eyes. "I... I'm sorry too, but that makes me so happy!" She hurried to her feet and wrapped Rogue up in a hug.

 

Rogue sighed but didn’t push her away. Instead, she very slowly wrapped her arms around Kitty too, wrapping her in a hug that grew increasingly heartfelt. 

 

Kitty let out a happy whisper as she was embraced, leaning on the girl's shoulder and holding her tight. "I was so doing some thinking, Roguey. I... I think I'm, like, in love with you."  She felt childish saying that. A little pathetic. But she meant it.

 

Rogue hesitated before, with a kiss to Kitty’s top in fear that she wasn’t yet half-phased, said: “I’m in love with you too.”

 

Kitty squeaked excitedly, giving Rogue a goofy grin as she slightly phased her hand through the girl's shoulder, showing her she was indeed half-phased. "That's awesome! And honestly... your mom can go bag her face." 

 

“I don’t even know why I cared so much about what she thought.” Rogue sighed. She hated being vulnerable, and the fact that her mother held so much power over her was embarrassing. She wished she could have not cared what Mystique thought like she did with so many others. “But I’m not lettin’ her get in my head again. All I care about is us.”

 

Kitty felt her eyes watering as she stared into her girlfriend's, flashing a look of pure joy as their little problem seemed to resolve itself so quickly. "I'm so happy to hear that, Roguey!" She would then blush. "Sorry...forgot you don't like that name."

 

“You can call me whatever you want. I don’t care.” Rogue went in for another kiss, this time on Kitty’s lips. 

 

Kitty's eyes widened in shock as she heard those words, taking Rogue's hands and smiling happily. "Really? That makes me so happy!"

 

“I was aiming for miserable but happy works too.” Rogue’s sense of humour often involved twisting generally negative words and using them in a positive sense. 

 

Kitty erupted into a big laugh, more due to her extreme good mood instead of Rogue being legitimately funny. "You're always so weird, but I love it!"

 

Rogue was always…happy…that Kitty seemed to be entertained by her odd nature. Most just thought Rogue was weird, and not in the good sense.  

 

With a hint of shyness to her monotone, the goth squeezed Kitty’s hands in hers and then said:  “I got you a surprise to celebrate Halloween with. Wanna close your eyes?”

 

Kitty gasped excitedly, nodded, and closed her eyes, very much anticipating the surprise.

 

“Alright, open ‘em” Rogue instructed. 

 

When Kitty opened her eyes, she saw Rogue standing naked in the middle of the cell – her pale body glistening with a thin sheet of sweat. Standing in front of the barred window, the moonlight seemed to make Rogue’s skin glimmer. Although her arms were crossed and her expression hardly seemed expressionate, she did seem genuinely excited because, with a stiff swirl of her hips, she drew attention to the ebony black shape dangling between her legs. It was as if it just appeared there. 

 

She’d somehow managed to buy a strap-on, one of the most expensive types of contraband in the prison. 

 

Kitty gasped first, then bit her lip as a much more sensual expression overtook her face. Kitty could be dorky and ditzy, but could be very sexy as well. "Roguey...What a nice surprise."

 

“You like it?” Rogue asked, always just a little awkward with reading people. She’d never been particularly great with gifts. 

 

“Like totally!” Kitty bit down harder as she gave her girlfriend a nod, an idea forming in her head as she admired the Wednesday costume Rogue still had on. "Maybe we could even…roleplay?"

 

Rogue raised an eyebrow as she twirled one of her pigtails. She’d planned to discard the wig as she undressed but had forgotten about it in her struggle with putting on the strap-on. “Very well,” She said flatly. 

 

Kitty bit her lip and tried to resist squealing in excitement. Rogue just looked so cute, and she couldn't wait to have some fun with her. That's when she finally did squeak, realizing it would be totally in character for who she was dressed as. Unfortunately, she wasn't sure what to actually say. "H-hey, Wednesday. Whatcha got there?" Yeah, that was good.

 

Rogue paused, equally awkward in the fine art of roleplay. She wasn’t exactly the most sexually experienced. “A strap-on.”She answered simply. “Don’t get too excited. This is your punishment…for repeatedly playing the cacophony of meaningless noise you call music while I’m trying to write.”

 

Kitty blushed, realizing they were gonna be doing the 'punishment' type of roleplay. It was fine. She could get into this. She then got further into character, scoffing indignantly and stomping her foot. "But... but you're always playing your cello when I'm trying to study! How is that fair?!"

 

“Equating the two is akin to comparing manslaughter to an execution. They both involve death but only one of them is worthy of being talked about” Rogue took a stiffened step closer, beginning to sink into the character she was portraying. 

 

Kitty felt an excited chill shoot through her, the girl trying to hide a smile as she took a step back. "So I'm being punished with sex? H-how is that... a punishment?"

 

“Would you rather I waterboard you?” Rogue playfully threatened. 

 

Kitty pushed away the memory of being waterboarded in a toilet by Illyana, giggling softly as she played along and put on a frown. "Well I'm not taking my clothes off, so if you wanna punish me, you'll just have to strip me yourself!"

 

Rogue narrowed her eyes in acceptance of that challenge, approaching Kitty with just the right balance of force and abundant caution that touching her wrong may harm her. Allowing Kitty enough room to act on her own accord, she backed her against the wall and then Rogue gently grasped the hem of Kitty’s absurdly tiny skirt. 

 

Kitty bit her lip and stared intently into her Roguey's eyes, the corners of her lips curling into a smile as her heart raced with anticipation. "You're so mean." She could barely contain the anticipation as she said this.

 

Rogue broke character just ever so slightly as a faint smile of her own played at her lips before she forced herself back into a perpetual scowl. “You did this to yourself, Enid.” 

 

As the skirt began to be lowered, the rounded tip of Rogue’s dildo grazed across Kitty’s right inner thigh. 

 

Kitty felt a heat on her face and in her crotch at those words, at the feeling of the dildo against her skin and a breeze hitting her pink panty clad midsection. "I'm gonna get you back for this. Maybe it's time you start getting punished when you annoy me."

 

“Oh? How exactly would you punish me?” Rogue found the visual of Kitty or Enid punishing anyone rather funny to imagine. 

 

Kitty bit her lip. She hadn't thought that far ahead. "I... I'll... I'll spank you!" She exclaimed, believing that to be the ultimate punishment idea.

 

Having let the skirt fall down Kitty’s knees, Rogue then brought her hands up to slowly remove her girlfriend’s top while now intentionally teasing her by gently swaying the faux-dick against Kitty’s leg – not letting it go any farther than that just yet. But both stopped at the suggestion of being spanked. 

 

“I’d like to see you try.” Rogue played along. 

 

Kitty's brow furrowed as she began to consider whether she could actually even attempt to spank Rogue. It was just such a foreign concept to her, and she was a total bottom. She gave a half-hearted smack to the goth's ass, eliciting a cute little sound from her lightly juggling buttcheek, Kitty biting her lip once more as she tilted her head. "How was that?"

 

“Pathetic” Rogue crossed her arms once more and then turned around and bent over slightly, giving Kitty a complete view of her pasty ass. “Do it again. Harder this time.”

 

Kitty's eyes widened at the sight, glancing down to sneak a peek at her pussy as her imagination ran wild. She channeled her excitement and lust into a much harder smack, leaving the faintest hints of red on her girlfriend's bottom. She smiled proudly. "Hey, maybe I'm not so bad at this."

 

Rogue’s eyes widened in pleasant surprise at the force behind the smack. Without so much as giving herself a second to recover, she was advising Kitty on how to better inflict such sweet pain. 

 

“The key to a well-delivered spank is to strike hard and fast, using each impact to gain momentum.” For a girl who’d never actually spanked anyone, she knew a lot about it. 

 

Kitty, buzzing with excitement after giving her first good spanking, delivered another smack of a similar power, delighting in the sight of Rogue's pasty ass getting some color. "Wow! This is actually kind of fun! Now I get why Illyana likes to do this to me!"

 

“So much for roleplaying” Rogue dryly remarked, recovering from the blow with a certain sense of excitement around being spanked. 

 

Kitty instantly blushed at the comment, smiling sheepishly as she literally shook her head to try and get back into character. "Sorry, Roguey... Wednesday." She then smacked her ass once more, exhilarated as the red marks turned into the clear outline of her fingers. "Told you I could punish you."

 

Ten similar spanks later – each accompanied by a suppressed mixture of a moan and a groan that was reminiscent of the sounds one might expect someone undead to make – Rogue was even hornier than she was when they started this whole ordeal, which is saying a lot. “That’s enough. You’ve made your point.” She turned around, briefly sending an arm back to gingerly rub her now red rear. Now they both had a sore ass. “After your vagina has been sufficiently speared, I’ll demonstrate some methods to maximise the pain…on you”

 

Kitty tensed up a bit at the mention of pain, though she quickly remembered this was Rogue. Her girlfriend would never actually hurt her. But just in case… "Safeword, please?"

 

“Melencholia” Rogue quickly answered, seemingly having that word in mind already. 

 

Kitty nodded. That felt very Rogue. She then took the girl's hand and gave it a trusting squeeze, before going back into Enid mode and whining. "Come on, Wednesday. I know it's a punishment, but does it have to hurt?"

 

“It wouldn’t be a punishment if it didn’t.” Rogue returned to getting Kitty’s crop top off. “Relax. It won’t hurt…much”

 

Kitty really got into character, huffing and pouting in that adorable Enid way, all as her face got redder as her crop top was removed. "No! I'm not gonna let you hurt me for listening to music. And be honest, you secretly like my songs don't you!'

 

Rogue’s eyes shot towards Kitty’s breasts, perfectly petite mounds. The way goosepimples dotted her sunkissed skin around nipples that stood sharp made Rogue’s heart skip a beat. 

 

“If by ‘like’ you mean they make me want to stab my eardrums out, then yes.” She had a knack for her current role considering she’d said something similar to Dazzler once without even trying to impersonate Wednesday. “You knew the rules before you chose to disrupt my writing process. Now submit to the consequences.”

 

Kitty whimpered in anticipation, panting softly as she prepared herself for penetration. "I tell everyone you're not as bad as you act, and that you're all soft inside. I was wrong." A little on the nose given she often said the same things about Rogue, but it fit the Wednesday roleplay.

 

“The fact that you repeatedly misinterpret my nature isn’t my problem.” Rogue then snapped her fingers and pointed to a spot on the bottom bunk, directing Kitty like a dog. “Get on all fours.”

 

Kitty moaned softly as she got into position, biting down hard on her lip as her face flushed in embarrassment. Yet she found herself enjoying this humiliation, something that surprised her given how much she hated doing this with the prison doms. "H-happy?"

 

“Never” Rogue, in her own strange form of eagerness, ran a finger down the length of her dark as the void dildo before positioning herself behind Kitty. From where she stood, Rogue was given a slight view of the space between Kitty’s legs. The cute thatch of brown hair, the swollen lips below, and the wetness that coated them.

 

Putting on her gloves for the sake of precaution, she stabilised herself by resting the palms of her hands down on Kitty’s feet as she leaned in close. Then, with the heat in her core burning at the mouth-watering sight of Kitty’s naked behind wriggling in the air, Rogue then prodded Kitty’s sex. 

 

Kitty yelped, looking back at Rogue with excited eyes as she chewed on her lip, trying and failing to get back into Enid mode as her smile failed to disappear. "Is that the best you got?" She began wiggling her butt deliberately now, really wanting to tease the goth.

 

Starting with shallow thrusts, Rogue jumped at the challenge as her teasing quickly grew fiercer. Rocking her hips back and forth, Rogue thrusted the strap-on deeper into Kitty. She wanted her to enjoy herself…but not enough to finish. Kitty would have to earn that. 

 

Kitty shut her eyes and let out soft, eager moans, feeling herself clench tight around the dildo as she slowly pushed back against it, just enough to give herself an extra jolt of excitement. "That's... more like the Wednesday I know."

 

With each thrust, Rogue began to find her own breaths growing more and more ragged until they too were a series of moans. It was almost unnatural to hear that level of excitement from her.

Burying herself in Kitty down to the hilt, Rogue’s hands desperately clenched Kitty’s feet. Hard enough for her nails to dig into her girlfriend’s skin if not for the fact that Rogue was wearing gloves. 

 

Kitty squeaked as she felt the hands clench her feet, desperately humping the dildo now as her hair flopped around on her head. She honestly wasn't sure if they'd ever had sex this good. It was amazing what an extra tool could do.

 

“We shoulda done this sooner!” Rogue cried out, southern accent returning as she was now the one to break character. It was impossible to focus on Wednesday-isms when she was completely lost in rocking Kitty’s world. And the best part was how into it Kitty was. For someone who was generally so innocent in her demeanour, it turned out Kitty was surprisingly quite the voracious hornball when in bed with someone she loved. 

 

The not-so-innocent Kitty had left all shame behind as she erupted into a series of loud moans, slamming her pussy into the dildo as Rogue slammed into her, and just really had a great time. "W-we should totally do this... m-more often!"

 

Kitty felt like her whole body was completely phased out, weightless and unburdened, every time the strap slid back in. But as the sensation finally grew to the edge of climax, Rogue slowed – pace steadying but not completely stopping. 

 

“You’re not allowed to finish until you apologise and promise to only ever listen to your ‘music’ with headphones on” Rogue decreed, managing to slip back into character.

 

Kitty grunted in surprise as she heard that, trying to maintain the pace herself, but that was very difficult. She just didn't want to lose the momentum. "I'm sorry, Wednesday. I promise I'll only listen to music with headphones from now on!" She really wasn't sure why Rogue added that part. It's not like it'd have any real world consequences. All it did was threaten her chances at a climax.

 

Rogue was teasing her, letting her stay just on the verge for a few agonising moments longer than what was necessary so that when she finally climaxed it would be all the sweeter. Whether fictional or not, the more she made Kitty say the longer it would be until Kitty could finish. 

 

“And, since you spanked me, you’ll lick my ass later on?”

 

That was applicable to reality. 

 

As she spoke, Rogue kept rocking into her, stroking the sensitive flesh inside of Kitty. She had to tighten her grasp on Kitty just to hold her steady from how much she was squirming. The poor girl seemed like she was melting from the inside out, pressing her forehead to the bed like she was about to become a puddle on it. She was certainly wet enough to, going by the delicious squelching noises her pussy made in time with the motion of the strap. But Rogue kept her pace slow enough to deny her what she sought. 

 

Kitty blushed at the order, having been forced to eat Illyana's asshole more times than she could count. She'd never considered doing it to Rogue before, but she had bigger things to worry about right now. "Oh my god! Yes! Yes, I'll do anything. Just please let me cum." She turned to look back at Rogue with pleading eyes, beyond earth for release after the wonderful time she'd enjoyed.

 

“Alright then, cum for me” Rogue said in the dommiest tone she could muster as she bucked into a deep thrust that massaged Kitty’s g-spot perfectly then pulled back just enough to stroke Kitty in all of the right places. 

 

Kitty's grunts and shocked moans were like music to her girlfriend's ears as she slumped forward onto the mattress, squirming and twitching as she just enjoyed the overwhelming and intense pleasure in her pussy. "I... I love you, Roguey..."

 

Rogue cried out in unison with Kitty’s orgasm as she climaxed with a burst, blowing cream into Kitty’s pumpkin pie. Then she too collapsed down onto the bed, exhausted. “I love you too,” She said through shallow breaths. 

 

Kitty turned to her with a warm, almost sickly sweet smile as she wrapped her arms around Rogue, still half-phased as she sighed happily. "That was amazing."

 

“It was” Rogue nodded, slowly beginning to sit up. Reaching under the pillow, she procured a carton of cigarettes from which she pulled one out and raised it to her lips – proceeding to light it with a lighter that had been hidden underneath the mattress. 

 

“I think we need a new bed…” She remarked while taking a drag.

The bed wasn’t so much dotted with splashes of their juices and sweat as it was completely soaked down to the mattress itself. Unfortunately, getting a mattress cleaned was unlikely given the prison’s cheap budget when it came to things that would make the inmates more comfortable. That money was reserved for humiliating events apparently. 

 

Kitty's eyes widened in shock, the girl totally ignoring her girlfriend's words and focusing on the smoking cylinder between her fingers. "R-Roguey...you don't smoke." She immediately began to cough and wave the smoke away. If this was gonna be a regular thing, they were gonna need to have a serious talk.

 

Rogue sighed, looking rather forlorn despite the amazing experience she’d just had with Kitty.  “I’ve just had a lot on my mind.” She slouched, staring dead-eyed at the wall ahead as the weight of certain thoughts resurfaced. 

 

Kitty was worried for many reasons, secondhand smoke being a big one. But the strangest of all was how much Rogue's attitude had changed. "Are you okay? You seem... weird." The mutant girl could be a little dense sometimes, but she at least realized how that sounded. Rogue was always weird. This was different. "Sorry, not weird. Like... upset or something."

 

“I just…” Rogue didn’t seem to know what she wanted to say. How had she been so lucky to have Kitty come back into her life? How did someone like herself deserve such an amazing girlfriend? As much as she didn’t want to feel this way, her life in the Raft was crashing down on her. Something about today, about having a truly loving relationship, made it impossible to run inside.

Everything between them had been so great. For the first time in her life, Rogue finally felt like she was with someone who genuinely loved her. Someone she felt safe enough to not push away like she did everyone else. But her relationship with Kitty was built on a secret she’d been keeping because she’d been scared to learn what Kitty would think of her if she found out. “I need to tell you somethin’...”

 

Kitty didn't like the tone in her girlfriend's voice, braving the cloud of smoke and trying to hold her breath as she sat down next to her. "What is it? You can tell me anything?"

 

Seeing the way the cigarette annoyed Kitty, Rogue snuffed it out against the frame of the bed before she slowly began to rock as some form of self soothing. An iron ball was in her throat and a knot formed in her stomach that made her feel like she was going to be sick. It took everything she had to say what she needed to say. The urge to confess was even more overwhelming than the fear of Kitty’s reaction. 

 

“I’m not a good person, Kitty. I did somethin’...before you came here. Somethin’ unforgivable.”

 

Memories of the blood flashed before her eyes. Rogue kept her gaze away from Kitty unable to bear how she was going to look at her. 

 

“A few months ago Jean and my mom asked me to help deal with a problem, somethin’ about Carol Danvers attackin’ Wanda. Jean wanted revenge…or whatever you want to call it. I thought we were just going to take some property from Carol. But when we cornered her in the mine she was with someone else.”

 

Instinctively, her hands clenched but she just remembered the feeling of her skin against theirs and the way they screamed. The words were now pouring out of Rogue’s mouth as she shook. 

 

"I took my gloves off and I held the other person down. I made her watch while Jean cut out Carol’s eye. And then I kept her in place as Jean took a pickaxe to two of her fingers.”

 

There was an unspoken rule made that day that no one talked about exactly what happened. Carol, in an effort to not get a shiv in the back, had never told a guard who attacked her. It was an open secret but an open secret wouldn’t get anyone punished in a prison where rumours ran rampant. By telling Kitty, Rogue was outright telling someone the exact details. 

 

“We left them there in their own blood. But I liked how it felt, Kitty. I liked the way my touch made that woman feel. How it made her helpless to do nothin’ but watch what we did.”

 

Kitty felt a lot of different emotions as Rogue told her story, most of them sympathetic, but after hearing those last words a chill went down her spine and she became frozen in her seat. She stared at her girlfriend with horrified eyes, feeling as if she was about to be sick. "You liked it?"

 

Rogue just hung her head low and didn’t respond, her silence answer enough. 

 

Kitty continued to stare in stunned silence, so many thoughts hitting her at once. She loved Rogue, nothing would change that, but this was a very big deal. How could she be with someone who would actually enjoy inflicting that much pain and suffering on her? How would she know that Rogue would never turn that sadism onto her? "I... I don't know what to say."

 

“You don’t have to say anythin’. I…I just wanted you to know the truth. You deserve to know the truth.” Rogue’s words were hoarse, barely able to escape her lips.  “I don’t deserve someone like you.”

 

Kitty really, really, really wanted to tell her that wasn't true. That she still loved her... but she was far too scared of her right now. That eerie question just kept on rattling in her mind. What if Rogue eventually unleashed her sadism on her? What would become of Kitty in the prison environment with a girlfriend like that? "I think I need to be alone for a little bit..."

 

Revulsion at herself consumed Rogue as Kitty reacted in a state of fear. There was something unspoken in Kitty’s demeanor that conveyed that Kitty couldn’t see her the same way anymore. Something had been shattered inside. Maybe not her love for Rogue, but certainly the way she viewed her. Feeling the immense shift was just as awful as Rogue had imagined. 

 

If Kitty wanted space, the least Rogue could do was give her that. Silently, the goth rose to her feet and got dressed before walking to the barred door. She paused there for a moment, every piece of her wanting to stay, but then, suppressing her sorrow, she left. 

 

As she sat in her cell alone, Kitty felt awful while thinking back on Rogue's haunting words. It was chilling to hear them leave her mouth. Rogue was never sunshine and rainbows, but Kitty had always seen the good person underneath that touch exterior. But now? The one thing that was getting her through life in the Raft had now been tainted, and Kitty didn't know what to do.

A short time later…

 

“I’m really sorry about earlier”  Apologising was not something that Rogue was skilled at but it was something she was willing to get better at if it meant keeping Kitty in her life. Entering her and Kitty’s with her constantly morose expression, Rogue returned having taken the space she needed. 

 

“I shouldn’t have tried introducing you to my mom. Or pushed you away when you tried to…comfort me-” Rogue stopped, the sight of the undressed Kitty on the soaked bottom bunk making the horny goth feel incredibly turned on. She was honestly impressed by just how messy the bed was, with pools of bodily fluid and sweat having practically covered the bed. Sure back at X-Mansion she’d heard Kitty under her blanket jilling off late at night when the valley girl thought Rogue was asleep, but this was on an entirely different level. It looked like Kitty had dry humped the blanket, the pillow, and the mattress. 

 

“-It seems you enjoyed yourself in my absence.” She said in a monotone. 

 

Kitty turned to Rogue with a look of confusion and discomfort, still not ready for a conversation with the goth. But also really weirded out by her words. "What are you talking about?" She asked bluntly. Fairly rudely. She didn't care.

 

“The bed. It’s wet.” Rogue replied flatly. “Which magazine did you use? I won’t trade that one” 

 

It wasn’t exactly a secret that on occasion Kitty looked through the extensive contraband porn collection that Rogue kept hidden under the bed. Before Kitty had arrived at the Raft, it was the only form of excitement the touch-starved Rogue could find. But now she mostly just used the magazines to barter. 

 

Kitty finally stood up, looking Rogue up and down with suspicion before it clicked. "No way. You are not pretending like we didn't, like, just have that conversation. I'm not just gonna forget what you told me!" Now she was getting angry. There was maybe a world where they managed to move past this, but if Rogue was going to try and act like nothing happened…

 

Rogue stared at her quizzically as she went through her mental rolodex to try to recall what she’d said that may have made Kitty upset. “I’m really sorry for pushin’ you. I got overwhelmed by you touching me but it won’t happen again.” Rogue looked at the bed again and then at Kitty. “I’ll make it up to you.”

 

Kitty looked at Rogue with disgust, pushing past her and making her way out of the cell. She had no idea where she would go. "You're unbelievable."

 

Rogue felt like that was probably a cue for her to follow her but wasn’t certain. She chose to assume her natural inclination to follow was correct. “I don’t have time to try to translate your emotional morse-code, Kitty. Just tell me what you’re upset about.”

 

Kitty finally stopped and whipped around, fully angry now as Rogue treated her like some kind of moron. "What am I upset about? How about finding out that the woman I love might be some kind of sick sadist?!" She didn't want to speak so harshly, but she was getting more and more frustrated by the second.

 

“I think that fact was obvious from when we first met…” Kitty didn’t mean that in a flattering way and so Rogue course corrected. “...but what did I do to you?”

 

Kitty grit her teeth, beyond fed up with Rogue playing dumb. "It's not about what you did! It's about what you might do! What's stopping you from knocking me out while some psycho cuts out my eye or ruins my fingers?!"

 

Rogue stopped, everything inside coming to a halt as if a piece of her had just died. It was impossible. Kitty had no way of knowing about that. She certainly hadn’t told her about it. A hint of panic reached her usually dry tone, and all she could do was ask in a hushed voice: “W-Who told you?”

 

—————————————————————

 

A victorious smirk was painted on Mystique’s face as her skin shifted from that of Rogue’s back to her natural naked, blue form. She didn’t need a Halloween costume when she could simply transform. The strap-on, still between legs, hadn't been a strap-on at all. But rather a sort of phallic member, complete with nerve endings, she’d fashioned for herself that now transformed back into a vagina. How Kitty hadn't felt her explode on her was beyond Mystique.  

 

Thanks to her ‘confession’ the corrupting influence that was Kitty Pryde would finally leave her precious daughter alone. That obnoxious little optimistic, entitled valley girl who’d poisoned her daughter with flights of fancy pertaining to a notion as utterly stupid as human and mutant cohabitation was now disgusted with the ‘Rogue’ that Mystique had pretended to be.

She had to give Kitty some credit though, she made for a surprisingly good lay. From the looks of her, Mystique never would have imagined that Kitty would be such a dildo-hungry slut. Perhaps that was why Rogue was so attached to her. 

 

Laying back on her bunk, Mystique congratulated herself on her plan. Mother truly knew best.

“If only Kitty Pryde’s heart beat for someone else…like Maya Lopez or Francine Frye. She could live comfortably in being traded around the yard for fishsticks instead of being assaulted by her girlfriend’s mother” Rio concludes the tale, having shifted her costume to that of a black Grim Reaper robe with nothing underneath. 

 

“I’ll see you tomorrow night when a woman after my own heart, a serial killer, is let loose on the inmate population. In the process, more than just blood will be spattered…”
