  A look into the mind of one Emma Frost~

  -x-X-x-

  Emma Frost smiles from where she sits in her offi Frost Industries’ main building. Her eyes are lidded shut and she lets out a breathy sigh as she feels what Thaddeus is currently doing to the Bck Widow he’s mao ensnare just by being him. The moment that Thaddeus had decided to take ‘Natalie Rushman’ up on her offer, he’d reached out to Emma telepathically, allowing for her to detect his ‘ping’ and reach back with her far stronger psychic powers.

  Though admittedly, she was only strohan him because he’d made her that way. Their weekend of ceaseless fug had delivered results that Emma was still adjusting to even now.

  Still, hitg a ride on Thaddeus’ senses had allowed Emma to see through his eyes ahrough his ears without actually being able to read his mind directly. Nor could she reach out and read ‘Natalie’s’ miher, but in the end she didn’t o.

  Natasha Romanoff. Agent of SHIELD. And a Bck Widow at that. Emma had heard about this ‘SHIELD’ in passing from other members of the Hellfire Club, but they’d never seemed to think much of the anization. Small fish in a big pond was the general sensus that Emma had gotten. Given that this SHIELD didn’t seem to know much about the Hellfire Club iurn, Emma would have been ined to agree with them.

  Except for ohing. She knew what the Red Room was. She knew was a Bck as. She didn’t know the asha Romanoff specifically, but that didn’t really matter. She believed the other woman when she said she was a former Bck Widow. And that meant SHIELD had mao turn a Bck Widow from the Red Room.

  That made them far more than just a small fish in a big pond. It at least made them the scrappy new kid on the block but there was also a potential for them to be an anglerfish, the sort of deep-sea creature that used a small unassuming light to lure in prey while secretly hiding their true strength behind seeming inpetend obscurity.

  Could it be that SHIELD was more than they seemed? More than just annorant gover agency way iheir head? It was entirely possible… but in the end, it mattered little. Together, she and Thaddeus would deal with them just like they would deal with all other adversaries. With Thaddeus and her w together, their ast was iable.

  Especially when the young man was just so good at turning the eo their side. What he’d doh Laura Kinney and Kitty Pryde was ohing. What he’d doh Mystique and Rogue was another entirely. And now here was a Bck Widow, all but succumbing to the potential he offered. Emma couldn’t really bme Natasha of course, but it was still incredibly hot to watch as Thaddeus fucked the red head against the staircase wall, pounding into her with his throbbing mast.

  Biting her lower lip, Emma lets her hands wander. In the sanctity of her office, she was not going to be disturbed… so why not py around a little bit? Watg Natasha Romanoff whore herself out to Thaddeus in the name of more power… mm, it was exceedingly arousing.

  One might say Emma had dohe same thing of course, but she sidered her and Thaddeus’ retionship to be more of mutual be than that. What did Natasha really have to offer Thaddeus save for her loyalty? He could gaihing she was capable of just from fug the X-23 experiment some more… or by fug that blonde girl arently got bit by a radioactive spider and gained super strength along with some other bes from it.

  Gwendolyn Stacy was ahat Emma would have to keep an eye on going forward. When she’d inally decided to include the blonde in Thaddeus’ dorm, she hadn’t actually realized what the young woman was capable of. It was only after Thaddeus had revealed to her that Gwen Stacy ider-Woman that Emma had begun looking into the girl, which had in turn led her to the experiments being done on araids over at Oscorp.

  Norman Osborne really o get a hold on his assets, but it wasn’t like Emma was about to tell him that New York’s test superheroine roduct of his bullshit. After all, they were petitors. Her pany, Frost Industries, might not be quite on the same level as Oscorp… but one day. One day she would-

  A phone suddenly rings as Emma is id ba her chair in the middle of toug herself while watg and listening to Thaddeus Cummings fuck his new pet Bck Widow in a stairwell. She freezes in pce for a moment before scowling angrily as the phone keeps ringing.

  Pulling her senses back from Thaddeus’ mind, feeling his aowledgment of her drawing away like a ‘farewell’ before she’s gone pletely, Emma forces herself to focus ba her office… and NOT on pleasuring herself further even if that’s all she wants to do. Unfortunately, the phohat’s currently ringing is one of the only ones she ot ig was given to her by one individual, an individual that despite all of her power, Emma ot leave hanging.

  Fixing up her clothie the fact that this will just be a phone call, Emma reaches over and picks up ohird ring.

  “Report.”

  Resisting the urge to hiss, Emma sits ba her chair feeling a bit mulish.

  “Things proceed apace. The boy tio grow in strength.”

  There’s a pause at that and then Hellfire Club’s Bck Queen responds.

  “Will he be ready for the Ga at the end of the month?”

  Emma presses her lips tightly together at that. Was Selene really thinking of setting him against Shaw that early? This require crification.

  “I hope you don’t expect him to be able to deal with Shaw that soon.”

  Oher end, the Bck Queen scoffs.

  “Of course not. But it is to be his official debut. Shaw suspeothing. He have zero s. The boy’s pht be growing, but I don’t care about that right now. he trol himself?”

  Liar. Emma scowls, knowing full well that all Selene cares about is Thaddeus’ power. Not for the same reasons that as her or the other women in Thaddeus’ life though. Selene wahaddeus to be powerful not so she could fuck him and in turn beore powerful herself… but so she could drain him entirely. She wao one day sughter the golden goose.

  Of course, the Bck Queen didn’t even know Thaddeus was the golden goose. Emma hadn’t told her everything. Like the fact that Thaddeus’ power boosti both ways. If Selene did know that… Emma shuddered to even think about it. The Bck Queen would probably order Thaddeus brought to her immediately if she ever found out about that part. She would keep him as her personal toy, using him for her sexual gratification until she felt he was growing too powerful and then she would drain him anyways.

  For someone like Selene, w with her peers was a challenging ask. The Bck Queen couldn’t even work alongside Sebastian Shaw for lohan a few years before plotting to overthrow aroy him. Shaw as a tyrant, but so was Selene and if the Bck Queen got her way, she would treat them all like the cattle she viewed them as.

  That was why she couldn’t know everything Emma knew. Fortunately, Selene hadn’t tried to read Emma’s mind and Emma’s powers had grown enough that she was sure she could possibly stop the other woman now if she o. She wasn’t sure that she could actually defeat her however, so that meant a delicate bang act had to be maintained.

  “I will make him ready. He will be able to trol himself, I guara. His debut will be a quiet, uful affair and Shaw will have no idea that Thaddeus represents his doom.”

  Selene hums for a moment before positively purring through the phone.

  “Good. Very good. Then I leave it in your capable hands, Frost.”

  “Wait!”

  Sensing that the Bck Queen was about to end the call, Emma stops her. Because while Selene might not sound suspicious… one could never be too sure. And what better way to subvert any suspis then by being the cautious one in their little arra?

  “Yes? What is it?”

  “I just… I was w if perhaps it would be better to dial things back. To keep the betting… too powerful.”

  There’s a pause from the other end of the li that, before Selene scoffs.

  “What? Are you afraid, Frost? You, the White Queen?”

  Huffing, Emma shakes her head even though Selene ’t see it. The gesture will still be picked up in her wavering tone. All a part of the act.

  “O-Of course not! It’s just… I set him up in the all-female dorm and he’s rapidly gotten to work. He’s fucked more of the women in his hallway then not at this point. And he shows no signs of slowing dowher. The more he fucks, the stronger he gets. Obviously, that’s what we want so he beat Shaw. But what if… what if he surpasses us as well?”

  A scoff es from the other end of the call.

  “Shaw is a nobody. His power, while strong, is nothing. He’s vinced himself that he doesn’t o worry about physical attacks because of his mutation, leading to him fog entirely oal aeric protes. But he’s not yet realized that his so-called invulnerability is in fact his greatest weakness.”

  Selene hums for a moment, no doubt sav the idea of Sebastian Shaw being so blind for a moment before tinuing on.

  “So long as we keep the boy away from the wrong sorts, then we have nothing to worry about Frost. Keep him fug nothing but mundane women and he will grow stronger and stronger… but with al ical defeo speak of. This will make him the perfect on against Shaw, because he has no limits to his potential growth. Once he’s strong enough from fug coeds for a year or two, we set him against Shaw and the Bck King will never see it ing.”

  Here, Emma hear the smirk entering Selene’s voice.

  “Then, once Shaw is gone, we step in and… utilize the boy to his full potential, guiding him with a couple of helping hands.”

  What Seleually means is that she and Emma will use their psychic powers to turn Thaddeus, who would be a total meathead in the Bck Queen’s pn, into their meat puppet. A new Bck King for them to use to rule from the shadows.

  Emma doesn’t buy it for even a sed of course. Thaddeus isn’t a puppet to Selene, he’s a potential meal. That’s okay though because this exge has already given Emme all she needs.

  “… You’re right, of course. Everything is still on track. Thank you for listening to my s.”

  “Hm. You have great potential, Frost. Do not fret, I will help you so that you do not squa. For now… goodbye.”

  The call ends and Emma feels a shiver of disgust run down her spi the same time though, there’s a broad smile that spreads across her face. Selene didn’t know. She truly didn’t know.

  To be fair, Emma hadn’t knowher. They’d both thought that the other fas, the X-Men and the Brotherhood, would back off when it came to Thaddeus after they’d made it clear he was officially one of theirs. Emma wasn’t that surprised that her had, but she was a little caught off guard when she’d first learhat the dormitory she’d put together, the stable of young women that she’d inteo feed to Thad to get him stronger… had been infiltrated from practically top to bottom.

  But while it had turned out for the best where her and Thaddeus were ed, it was obvious Selene didn’t know. If she did, she might actually be worried about whether Thaddeus was developing powers that might make him difficult for her to manipute and trol ter on. Which to be fair… he was.

  If the Bck Queen were aware of the sort of women that Thaddeus was fug, or if she’d known Thaddeus had spent the weekend with Emma, she likely would have said something… and probably tightehe colr around Emma’s neck a few more notches for daring to step so far out of lihat she didn’t know, that she was still in the dark about it… it made Emma’s heart soar with happiness.

  This portunity. The month before the Ga, a party hosted by the Hellfire Club, would be critical in terms of Thaddeus’ grorogress. Only, Emma o decide how they were going to hahings. On the one hand, it seemed likely that Selene might realize something when the Ga arrived and Thaddeus visited. Oher hand, the Bck Queen had to avoid showing any i in the man. On top of that, she could be quite… above it all.

  The fact that Selene just didn’t know what Emma or Thaddeus had been up to made it clear she was too distracted with other projects to bother cheg in. She was so vihat she had Emma Frost under her boot heel and doing her bidding that she was leaving Thaddeus pletely in Emma’s hands.

  That was a mistake that would most certainly e back to bite the Bck Queen in the ass. Emma would make sure of it. She was Emma Frost, CEO of Frost Industries and White Queen of the Hellfire Club. And she was sid tired of being treated like nothing but a pawn by individuals like Sebestian and Selene. For all her perceived power within the club, it was the Bck King and the Bck Queen who made all the decisions. But not forever. Not even for much longer.

  She just had to decide which way to push Thaddeus for the month. Should she have him focus more oal powers like hers so he could better defend himself? Should she have him focus more on the esoteric, maybe get him started on some magic? Or should she have him push for physicality above all else on the off ce that Selene checked in on her project?

  Thaddeus already looked like a beefcake, but he could get bigger… and Selene would be expeg him to be bigger by the time the Ga came around. She would be expeg all of his physical attributes to be heightened. Was what he’d already gained from Laura and Gwen Staough though? Or did it o be more?

  Emma’s lips thin out as she siders the issue while tapping a finger on her desk. Then, she makes the call.
