1X01 – Sentinel – Teaser

It was really late, or perhaps really early.

The only light came from floor to ceiling windows, letting through street lamps which glowed an off shade of whiteish-blue, casting long shadows across the empty cubicles and office chairs.

There was no sound except the huffing of someone running for their life.

Bobby Drake rounded a corner of the cubicles into a side hallway, throwing up an ice wall the moment he was clear. Taking quick, deep breaths he put his mental back into it and increased the thickness of the ice to nearly four inches.

He jumped as the ice wall was hit by a mass of flesh and claws causing cracks to splinter it like glass.

Reaching out he reinforced the ice, drawing the moisture in the air to add at least another inch of thickness to the barrier. There was a slight shake in his hands, but it wasn’t from the cold.

Then it got quiet.

Bobby’s breathing the only sound.

Perhaps the beast had ran off after an easier target? Bobby didn’t dare take the ice wall down to check but his curiosity led him to step closer so that he might be able to see through the cracked ice for any movement on the other side. His breath was amazingly warm, ghosting a fog over the solidified liquid.

A clawed hand burst through the ice and wrapped around his neck.

Shouting intelligible curses, Bobby was pulled through the ice which gave way easily now that its structure had been compromised. His body was tossed like a doll through the air, slamming into one of the cubicle walls which collapsed under his weight.

The clawed hand grabbed his jacket and flipped him over onto the ground, the beast lording over him.

“Sabretooth,” there was no mistaking the tall, muscular build, with shaggy blonde hair and two inch talons for nails.

“So you heard of me,” he grinned, showing all his teeth to be as sharp as his claws.

The feral mutant must not have expected a reply as he grabbed Bobby by the throat again. Instinct led Bobby to pull pointlessly on Sabretooth’s fingers as the Ice Man felt his wind pipe being slowly cut off.

“Someone…” he managed to gasp, “help me.”

The only reply was Sabretooth’s laugh as it echoed down the empty halls.
