The air in Ultron's secret facility was always cold, a biting chill that seeped into the bones, but the communal bathroom was a different beast entirely. Steam curled through the stark, tiled space like ghostly tendrils, the heat from the showers a stark contrast to the icy corridors beyond. Kyle Brown, barely eighteen, felt the weight of his captivity in every muscle of his super-strong, invulnerable body. His ability to fly was useless here, trapped in a cage with some of the most powerful women he’d ever laid eyes on—Emma Frost, Psylocke, Rogue, Storm, Domino, Scarlet Witch, Polaris, Mystique, and Jean Grey. Each of them was a force of nature, and Kyle, with his raging teenage hormones and an unconventional second mutation he was still figuring out, felt like a lamb among lions.
Dinner had been a meager affair—some slop Ultron’s bots called sustenance—and now, under the emotionless gaze of a hovering Ultron drone, they’d been herded into the bathroom for showers. “Clean yourselves, organics,” the bot droned, its voice a metallic rasp. “Hygiene protocol is mandatory.”
“Hygiene protocol, my ass,” Domino muttered, her dark hair plastered to her shoulders as she stripped off the tattered remains of her uniform without a hint of modesty. Her luck-based powers didn’t do much against Ultron’s tech, but her sharp tongue was a weapon all its own. She shot Kyle a sidelong glance, her lips curling into a smirk as she caught him staring. “Eyes up, kid. You’re not subtle.”
Kyle’s face burned hotter than the steam as he fumbled with his own clothes, his cybernetic arms—vibranium and adamantium-infused—clanking awkwardly. “I—I wasn’t—” he stammered, but Psylocke’s low chuckle cut him off.
“Oh, darling, you absolutely were,” she purred, her British accent dripping with amusement as she stepped under a showerhead, the water cascading over her lithe, toned frame. “Don’t worry, we’re used to boys losing their minds around us. Right, ladies?”
“Speak for yourself, Betsy,” Rogue shot back, her Southern drawl thick as she peeled off her gloves, careful not to touch anyone skin-to-skin. Her green eyes flicked to Kyle, a wicked glint in them. “Some of us ain’t got time for puppy eyes. Though I reckon he’s cute when he’s flustered.”
Kyle tried to focus on the wall, on the cold tiles, on anything but the parade of stunning women around him. But his body betrayed him, his hormones a runaway train as he leaned against the wall, his breath hitching. He thought he was discreet, a quick, private moment in the haze of steam, but Emma Frost’s icy voice sliced through the fog.
“Really, Kyle? In public?” Her tone was pure disdain, but there was a smirk playing on her lips as she crossed her arms, water glistening on her pale skin. “Have some decorum, or at least better timing.”
“I’m—sorry, I just—” Kyle’s voice cracked, but before he could dig himself deeper, Domino sauntered over, her hips swaying with deliberate intent. She leaned in close, her breath hot against his ear.
“No need to apologize, kid,” she whispered, her voice a velvet blade. “But if you’re gonna do it, might as well do it right. Turn around. Let’s give the girls a show.” Her hand pressed against his chest, guiding him with a firm, unyielding grip until his back was against the wall, his heart pounding so hard he thought it might burst.
“Domino, don’t break him,” Jean Grey called out, her voice carrying a commanding edge even over the sound of running water. The redhead stepped closer, her presence magnetic, her green eyes locking onto Kyle with an intensity that made his knees weak. “Though I must say, he’s handling the attention better than I expected. Aren’t you, Kyle? Or do you need a little... guidance?”
Kyle swallowed hard, his cybernetic arms twitching with discomfort as he tried to steady himself. “I’m... fine. Mostly. These damn arms, though—they’re not exactly cooperative.”
Jean’s lips quirked into a sly grin. “Poor baby. Let’s see if we can’t make you more comfortable.” She reached out, her telekinetic touch a subtle caress as she adjusted his stance, her fingers brushing his skin just enough to send a shiver down his spine. “Better?”
Before he could answer, Mystique and Rogue flanked him, their grins pure mischief. Mystique, her blue skin shimmering under the water, tilted her head, her yellow eyes gleaming. “Looks like the boy’s got himself in a pickle. Need a hand, sugar? Or two?”
Rogue chuckled, her gloved hands hovering teasingly close. “Don’t worry, darlin’. We’ll be gentle. Or not. Depends on how much of a mess you wanna make.”
Their combined attention was overwhelming, a risqué double act that left Kyle breathless, his body responding in ways he couldn’t control. The other women watched with a mix of amusement and curiosity, their laughter echoing off the tiles as Kyle fumbled through the encounter, the steam hiding just enough to keep things from getting too explicit—but not enough to spare his dignity.
As the water washed away the evidence of their escapade, Domino and Jean took charge of scrubbing him down, their touches bold and proprietary. “You’re ours now, kid,” Domino said with a wink, her hands firm on his shoulders. “Don’t forget it. And while we’re at it, let’s figure out how to blow this tin can’s operation sky-high.”
Jean nodded, her expression fierce as she worked a lather into his hair, her fingers massaging his scalp with a mix of care and control. “Ultron thinks he’s got us caged, but he underestimates what a group of pissed-off women can do. Stick with us, Kyle. We’ve got plans.”
Kyle’s mind swirled with doubts as the water ran cold. “But what if we can’t get out? What if Ultron’s tech is too much, even for us?”
Storm’s voice cut through his uncertainty, deep and resonant as she rinsed off nearby, her white hair a stark contrast to her dark skin. “Boy, do you know who you’re standing with? We are tempests, each of us. Ultron’s circuits will fry before we bow to him.”
“Damn right,” Scarlet Witch added, her accent thick with determination as she wrung out her auburn hair. “We’ve shattered worse than a glorified toaster. Trust us, Kyle.”
Their words bolstered him, but the weight of captivity lingered as they were herded back to their cage, the Ultron bot’s red eyes unblinking. Inside the stark cell, Kyle hesitated, his gaze drifting to Rogue and Storm as he sought some semblance of comfort for the night. “Mind if I... stick close?” he asked, his voice quieter now, almost shy.
Rogue smirked, patting the spot beside her. “Come on, sugar. I don’t bite. Hard.”
Storm’s smile was warmer, almost maternal, as she gestured him over. “Rest with us, child. The night is long, and we’ve strength to share.”
Emma Frost, lounging against the cage wall in a pristine white bodysuit she’d somehow kept spotless, rolled her eyes. “Really, ladies? Maternal comforts and Southern charm? I could offer him a masterclass in discipline, but I suppose he’d rather cuddle.”
Rogue shot her a mock glare. “Keep your ice queen routine to yourself, Emma. Some of us know how to make a boy feel welcome.”
“Oh, please,” Emma retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Welcome is one thing. Smothering is another. But do go on—let’s see if he survives the night between you two.”
The banter continued, sharp and playful, as the group settled in, the tension of their situation lingering beneath the surface. Kyle nestled between Rogue and Storm, their warmth a small defiance against the cold metal around them. In the dim light, amidst lingering chuckles and unresolved plans, they waited for the next battle—whether it came from Ultron or the fire simmering within their own ranks.
