Chapter 7
-----
After settling on the new name "Kylie Reese" for the assassin formerly named X-23, it was a short time before they spoke again. When they did, it was the newly-named cyborg who had questions she wanted answered.
It was the worst case scenario Jubilee had feared. Kylie had wanted an explanation of the love scene, and why it made her feel strange to watch it. Worse, when Jubilee mentioned the word "sex", she reacted with shocking intensity, growling and demanding to know what it was, voice burning with intimidating forcefulness. What was simply awkward and embarrassing had gone to dangerous in mere seconds.
"W-what do you know about it? I mean, how come you know what it is without knowing what it is? I can't really explain until I know what you already know."
The genetically engineered cyborg assassin went silent for a moment, eyes growing distant as she began to recount a decidedly unpleasant set of memories.
'"It was during my early testing, still in the labs... one night, in my cellroom, several guards came in. They sedated me like normal, and I thought it was going to be just another test, but it was different. They took my clothes off, like for an examination, except they didn't use any equipment and no one recorded anything or took any notes. And they used their hands all over me, but in some places in particular, mostly my chest and between my thighs and buttocks. It just got stranger from there, as some of them began taking off their clothes too and some of them even began to touch me with their mouths and tongues. At least one of them put fingers inside me, between my legs. Nothing like that had ever happened before, all my other examinations had been cold and direct, and done by scientists, these were guards and they were rough and sloppy. It didn't make any sense."
Jubilee's blood ran cold at the description, and she shuddered softly as she asked what happened next even though she was pretty sure she didn't want to hear it.
"They were in the middle of whatever it was they were doing when the lights went on and a commander and two soldiers came in, with one of the lead scientists. He was furious, but not at me, and he didn't hurt me at all. He yelled at them and cursed them and called them names, and he used that word 'sex' saying I wasn't supposed to find out about it and they were exposing the secret. He was so angry he had the commander shoot one of them dead right on the spot, and said the others would survive only if they warned the others what would happen to them if they tried anything like it. Then the others were arrested and they all left. I never found out what that word meant and nothing like it ever happened again."
Jubilee sighed, and fixed sympathetic eyes on her. "That's awful, I'm so sorry..."
Jubilee was startled though when the girl snarled and growled out a demand. "Don't tell me sorry, tell me what it is! They killed someone to keep me from knowing, and you know, don't you dare keep it secret." As Jubilee stammered, stunned and embarrassed, the assassin interpreted it as trying to evade her questioning and crawled stalkingly across the bed like a predatory cat, pinning her against the wall with one clawed fist held menacingly beneath her chin as she repeated her demand for information.
Taking a deep breath and steeling her nerves, Jubilee put one hand on the clawed fist and locked eyes with Kylie and spoke as sincerely as she could with her voice as weak and shaky as it was. "Put away the claws and get off of me, and I'll tell you everything I know ok?"
Kylie nodded, backing off of her but growling in warning. "Don't hold out on me, I'll know if you're lying."
Jubilee nodded, trying to sort out how to explain this to her in a way that would make sense. Drawing a blank, and growing more nervous and less able to think as the assassin grew more impatient and growly, she struck on a plan. Explaining sex from scratch would be hard as hell, so instead she'd show her. Explaining her plan, telling her it would be easier to show her a "training video" rather than explain it all herself, she went to the TV box and ordered a porno from the pay-per-view menu. As it began, she made a few opening comments to explain.
"As I'm sure you figured out, what the guards did to you and what Reese did with Sarah are related and all tied into the whole sex thing. There's a lot more to it though they didn't show in the movie and the guards didn't get to with you before they were stopped. This movie will show the whole process from start to finish. I'll explain what it means when it's done."
Satisfied with this, at least for now, the deadly mutant cyborg grew quiet and settled to watch, sharp eyed and ready for the answers that had eluded her for so long. Jubilee, by contrast was not nearly so looking forward to it, cuddling a pillow to herself as she pulled her knees to her chest and tried to fight her nervousness and embarrassment. There was no going back now, and though her face was burning red and her insides were made of ice, she grit her teeth and vowed to herself to get through it. After all, things could be worse... somehow.
-----
Ninety minutes and three quarters of a bottle of schnapps later, the pornographic film was over and Jubilee was not dead of embarrassment --though there were definite moments there where she had wished otherwise. Glancing over at the other woman, she found those intense eyes locked on her with a quizzical quest for answers written in her expression. Frowning, she former assassin expressed herself in a single short phrase.
"I don't get it."
Jubilee blinked. "Huh? What don't you get? That's sex. It's what Kyle and Sarah did, and the guards tried to do to you. Couldn't you tell it was the same thing?"
Kylie nodded, but still looked confused. "I did, but why? What's it for? And why is it a secret?"
Jubilee shrugged a bit, and said simply. "There's a biological purpose behind it, but it's complicated and I don't feel like getting into the details. I'll get you a book on it I promise." At the narrowed-eye glare and beginnings of a growl from the other, she quickly continued. "What's important is two things, that it feels really good and there's a natural desire for it. Like a hunger. That's why the guards tried to do it to you, and why you felt weird watching it. You have the hunger for it but didn't understand what you were feeling. Now, you know."
Kylie was silent for long moments as she absorbed this, nodding slowly to herself as she sorted out this new information and it clicked into place with what she knew and had felt. There was still one question left though, and she repeated again. "So why the secrecy?"
Jubilee pondered a moment, then offered her best theory. "I'd guess it's because you were meant to be a living weapon... they wanted you focused on the mission and nothing else. Sex is a powerful instinct, if you didn't know about it you couldn't be distracted by it and it wouldn't get in the way of you getting the job done."
Again, Kylie absorbed this in silence as the truth of it sank in. It all made sense, now. She understood. And with that understanding came a decision. Eyes set in determination, she gave voice to her thoughts.
"You said I don't have to be what they wanted, right? I can do what I want instead?" Jubilee nodded agreement, so she continued. "They killed one of their own to keep me from learning about this 'sex' so I wouldn't do it instead of following orders. If they wanted me not to do it so badly, then I think it's exactly what I should do."
Jubilee grinned a bit at that, liking the tone of rebellious self-determination in her voice. "That's the spirit!"
In response, the former cloned assassin X-23 turned free woman Kylie Reese turned to Jubilee and said simply. "All right. I'm ready when you are."
