N'ta-Sha traveled quickly, stopping only once to rest, eat, and enjoy Bobbi's shapely body, especially her luscious tits...though she did not take as much pleasure in doing so as she normally would in being serviced by such a lovely raid-slave. Despite her best efforts, she simply could not forget that Bobbi was not just a buxom beauty but an unnatural abomination.
It was therefore a relief to arrive at the borders of the lands of the Shieldmaidens. The Fury dwelled in the center of that realm, within the enormous hulk of twisted metal that, for reasons no one could recall, was known as the Carrier. To most, it was an impenetrable fortress, but the Black Widow knew every inch of it well, and would have no trouble entering not only the Carrier, but the Fury's own chambers, without any Shieldmaiden knowing she was there.
Of course, technically, there was no need for such things. She was, after all, a friend of the Shieldmaiden; she counted many lovers among the Shieldmaidens, and was happy to call several her sisters. But were she to approach in the open, she would be asked why she sought the Fury's counsel, and she felt too much shame to do so. So, stealth it was.
She looked over at Bobbi. It was possible that the Hydra agent would be able to match her stealth as well as she had her speed...but N'ta-Sha was not certain. The Black Widow was certain, however, that showing an agent of the Hydra the secret passageways within the Carrier would be a violation of the trust the Fury placed in her.
"Slave," she said, unwilling to dignify the creature with a name. "You will peacefully approach the first Shield patrol you encounter, and allow them to capture you. You will tell them you are an emissary of the Water Snake Tribe. You will make no attempt to spy, to escape, or in any way act in a fashion that would harm the Shieldmaidens. You will make no mention of me, or your true nature."
N'ta-Sha climbed into the trees, and watched her unnatural raid-slave be met by a pair of sentries, who subsequently bound the raven-haired creature hand and foot and bore her away into the thick jungle that surrounded the Carrier. Satisfied that the Hydra woman was not running loose, N'ta-Sha set off.
She traveled from tree to tree, never touching the ground as she headed closer to the Carrier. She found the secret doorway known only to her and made her entrance. She crept quietly, whenever possible sliding her lithe body through the small tunnels that carried air throughout the Carrier. It was not always possible to do so, and she periodically had to pass through corridors and rooms. Many of these rooms were abandoned, but not all, as N'Ta-Sha discovered, when she peered through the grate that sealed a tunnel and saw two Shieldmaidens fucking in a usually abandoned room. One had her face buried between the other's spread legs, but they were easily recognizable, for though the tattered fabric of their Shieldmaiden uniforms thrown aside. they were not entirely nude, wearing metal gloves upon their hands and lower arms.
They were the Jahn-Sehn sisters, Day-Si (called the Quake) and Dai-Sy (called the Skye). They were lovely, and even lovelier together. Despite herself, the Black Widow paused to watch the beautiful sisters make love. Which proved to make a mistake, for Day-Si (who was the one being eaten out) threw back her head in ecstasy and caught sight of N'ta-Sha staring at them through the grate.
Resigned, N'ta-Sha slid out of the tunnel and addressed the duo.
"Do not let me interrupt," she said. "I must see the Fury."
Dai-Sy liffted her headd, and grinned at N'ta-Sha, her gorgeous face made more so by being covered by her sister's juices. "Good luck. The Old Fury communes with her."
The Old Fury was the Fury's mother, and the previous leader of the Shieldmaidens. She was still strong (and still sexy), but she had chosen to step aside for her daughter and became a priestess. On the one hand, her presence was a blessing; the counsel of two such wise leaders would surely be greater than that of only one. But, meetings between the two were not held in the Fury's chambers, but a different space, one which had no secret entrance.
"Who guard them?" N'ta-Sha asked, though she suspected she already knew the answer.
"M'ria-Hill," Quake and Skye answered sat once.
N'ta-Sha sighed. M'ria-Hill was the Fury's second-in-command, a skilled warrior, hunter, and lover, who's loyalty to the Shieldmaidens was without question. She was, not, however, loyal to the Fury. She did not intrigue against her openly, but made no secret that she coveted the Fury's position. She also made no effort to hide that she felt the closeness between the Shieldmaidens and Vengers the Fury cultivated was in error. She did not like N'ta-Sha, and it would not be easy to get past her.
The Jahn-Sens clearly knew this, for Dai-Sy spoke. "If you would honor us by joining in our lovemaking, we would be happy to help you bypass M'ria-Hill so you may speak to the Fury and Old Fury without her interference."
The offer was tempting. Very tempting. But if the Jahn-Sens helped her sneak in and were found out, they would be punished, and she was reluctant to have friends punished for her sake.
