Victor Creed has posed:
It is cold. Colder than Victor can ever remember it. Why is he so cold?

Everything is dark. And he is not breathing.

Why am I not breathing?

River Banks has posed:
    Everything was light. February has had an upsettingly long warm spell, and though most people weren't pleased with it, Kyra Meza didn't mind it at all. It meant more jogging booty tiktok videos, more likes, and more people hitting up her tip jar so she didn't have to work. Her dark hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. She had custom bright pink airpods in, and she was jamming to tunes on her phone as she took a corner, and began to jog nearer to the riverside.

    "Pics gonna be stellar out here in the sunset." she states to herself as she pauses to try and find the best angle to get some skyline, some water, and most importantly, herself!

Victor Creed has posed:
Slowly, awareness began to creep back into Victor Creed. He was in water. That girl had used water. Turned it against him. He tested out his limbs and found he could control them. He could move them, and they could move him. He started moving through the water, towards the edge. Not strictly speaking swimming, but he was getting there. He was starting to feel more like himself as the pain of his body knitting itself back together again began to fade.

River Banks has posed:
    Someone must have done a real number on Creed.

    Kyra, however, was oblivious. Utterly unaware of the danger that she was in as she paused near the river's edge. She pouted her lips out, she flashed a V-for-Peace sign and catches some of the buildings and rive rin the background.

    #SoFit #FitLifeNYC!

    A couple of Instagram uploads for thirst traps. A couple tips. She'll be satsfied at the end of the night with a couple hundred bucks from her loyal followers.

Victor Creed has posed:
Slowly but surely, Victor reaches the shore. One hand reaches up, no claws just yet, and then the other, and he slowly hauls himself out, waterlogged and sopping wet.

He sees the would-be influencer and his first reaction is to snarl in anger. But the sound does not come out quite right.

"She took my fuggin teefh!" roars Sabertoothless in fury.

And lacking the true target of his anger he turns his attention to...Kyra.

River Banks has posed:
    Kyra blinks a moment as someone soggily slogs their self out of the river, and she leans over the fence. Someone... took his teeth?

    "Hey... hey ohmigod --" she begins to record. This will get TONS of views later. "HEY! Hey do you need an ambulence my man? Look at you, you're soaked through!" she calls out, and she doesn't seem to realize the danger she's in.

    "Do you need me to call you a cab? Were -- were you roofied? See, FitFans, it happens to guys too!"

Victor Creed has posed:
There is no pause or hesitation. The fury of Creed is unleashed and he leaps at the girl. He may be without his teeth, but the claws on his hand come right back upon command.

River Banks has posed:
    And the Teeth should grow back, right? He's got that grin...

    Kyra screams as the man leaps out at her. The phone drops, clattering to the sidewalk and then into a storm drain, flipping around in the bogginess beneath the walking trail -- video recording until her screams and please fade off in the distance.

    Sabretooth had returned.
