Enter the Imp

 

By Abashful1

 

Mr. Mxyzptlk was in a grumpy mood.  It seemed like forever since he had been able to have any fun. Imps were far longer lived than humans, so what would be huge chunks of our lives was nothing to him, but *this* was ridiculous.  All work and no play was making Myx a very dull and grumpy imp.

 

What few beings outside the Fifth Dimension knew was that Mr. Mxyzptlk was actually a being of great responsibility there. He was almost a superhero to the people of his home dimension.  His trips to the Third Dimension in fact were only done on 90 day intervals due to his busy work schedule, not the alignment of inter dimensional forces as Superman had believed.  Myx loved his trips there though as they were like a vacation to him.  No one was more surprised than he when his *job* forced an unscheduled stop there.

 

For what Earth folks would have called two years, energy from the Fifth Dimension and been leaking into the Third; barely a trickle at first, but steadily growing.  It wasn't that this energy loss would have ill effects in his home realm.  It was that the energy and especially the acceleration of its flow would eventually cause irreparable damage to a lower plane of existence like the Third Dimension.  Tracking the problem had kept Myx so busy that he had missed several vacations, but ironically if he had taken time off he would have solved his problem.

 

Once he arrived on Earth, Myx could sense the energy all around him.  He could see that a large percentage of the world's population had been exposed to it.  He could feel hundreds of sites world wide that were just bleeding energy and nearly a billion people had so far been heavily contaminated.  As he started looking into the problem, he sensed the site where the flow had started from; a small lab in a STAR Labs office in a Midwest town.  The lab was not in use anymore, but this was definitely where the problem started.  Myx could sense the presence of a familiar playmate nearby and thought "She must be trying to solve the same problem I am.  Maybe I can get her to help and have some fun too."  A wicked grin framed the imps face as he popped off looking for both help and comic relief.

 

Myx appeared over a seedy street corner not two blocks from the lab.  Under a blue street lamp leaking some of the vary extra dimensional power he was following stood his quarry, but even Myx could not believe his eyes.  There stood Supergirl in the sluttiest clothes and makeup he could imagine.  As she happily smoked her cigarette men propositioned her and *she accepted*!  "Man, this is better than one of my jokes." Myx said to himself.

 

After watching Supergirl finish with the men who had just paid for her expert services, Myx popped in on the former heroine "Hey Super Babe!  How's tricks?  No pun intended."  He said with a wink.

 

Linda just looked the strange floating little man over for a second before approaching him and purring "My, my!  Such a cute little Meta.  Well, I'm expensive, but I think you will find me well worth the money."  Linda wasted no time showing him the goods as she posed seductively for him and gently stroked his hardening penis through his pants.

 

"No, no Supergirl.  I need you in super heroine mode, not as the streetwalker poster child.  Come on, change the duds and let's get moving. I might still get some joke time with your stiff cousin if we fix this up quick enough."  The imp pointed up at the street lamp as he spoke.

 

Linda gave him a look like he was absolutely nuts.  "Look baby, I can play superhero, cop, naughty nurse or whatever floats your boat, but before we look for a stiff *anything* lets see some money first."

 

"Supes!" Myx said "You act like you don't know me.  After all the good times we have had, surely you remember your old pal Mr. Mxyzptlk?"

 

Linda just drew out a cigarette and lit it before she laughed in his face.  "Look Myx, I have had 'good times' with half the Midwest.  I'm the most popular piece of ass for over a hundred miles.  If I fucked you a hundred times, you wouldn't stick out in my memory.  So are we going to fuck or not?"

 

Myx could see that she was saturated with the energy and obviously it had been used to overwrite her old heroine self with the new whore that stood before him.  As he started to turn her down he thought 'Hey, what the hell?  Like she will be in the mood for this after I set things right.'  Myx produced enough cash to keep the super slut working on him for several hours.

 

The next day, Myx set off to find other heroes and heroines.  Without exception everyone he found were contaminated with huge amounts of the energy.  Every woman was a whore and every man was in line waiting to pork one of them.  Wonder Woman, Powergirl, Zatanna, Batgirl... It didn't matter.  They were all whores.  Incredibly fantastic whores to be sure, but whores none the less.  He was even more surprised at how Mary Marvel had fit in so well at the Keystone City Casino and Bordello.  He 'investigated' her new slutty lifestyle for even longer than he did Supergirl's.  The only woman that wasn't converted to prostitution was Lois Lane who he was surprised to find as the JLA's press secretary and the Elongated Man's favorite slut on the side.

 

Myx spent long days and nights investigating the heroes and heroines.  Well, *mostly* the heroines.  He investigated Wonder Woman and Powergirl three times a piece.  Big Barda was a lot of fun too, but that's another story.  When not 'testing the bounds of their contamination', the Idol of Millions of Imps checked out the factories that churned out the mind controlling devices and the casino/brothels, where he went through a whole lot of money.  Almost every police station had the same mind numbing lighting as the casinos... even the FBI and JLA.  Nobody batted an eye at the illegal operations.  From what Myx saw, he couldn't see why anyone would have had a problem with them even without the extra dimensional programming, but this world was *so* stuffy that it was amazing that no one was out for blood over this.

 

Having had his fun with the darling babes formerly of the ranks of heroes, Myx finally thought 'Hey, where's Super Stick in the Mud! Even *he* isn't raising a fuss.  Even with Lois deep throating a human super ball everyday!'  Myx had been so busy mixing business and pleasure that he had forgotten his favorite straight man.  With a little concentration, Myx sensed him at a casino in LA.  As quick as thought, Myx popped in invisibly on his old sparring partner. 

 

Myx almost fainted!  Then he laughed until he cried.  Here was the mighty Man of Steel dressed in a black fishnet tee shirt, skin tight black leather pants, and a dog collar proudly tagged as 'Madam's Toy'.  It wasn't too hard to figure out who Madam was either.  Superman hovered behind her like a love sick puppy, always guarding her like a zealous worshipper.  Of course, she was a total babe and he could see why most guys would love to be her slut-toy, but she wasn't close to Wonder Babe's league.  Lois's either. Still, this Madam loved to demonstrate her command of the hero.  She was almost constantly caressing the man's most erogenous zones and frequently inviting public displays of devotion.  Myx followed the couple for the better part of a day.  She frequently had her Super Slave carry her from establishment to establishment.  She spent half her day checking out her illegal operations and the other half meeting with authorities corrupted by her mind control.  At the end of the day, she met with her number one aide, Mistress Judith. 

 

Although Supes was the Merry Madam's favorite, Judith was obviously the force behind her success.  This woman had a devotion to her work that impressed even Myx.  It seemed like Judith would not be happy until her Madam ruled heaven and hell too.  Myx had finally seen enough.  He decided a very private powwow with the good Madam was in order. 

 

The Merry Madam was quick to notice Judith's fixed stare and unresponsiveness.  Even before Myx began talking, she knew something was wrong "So you are the new designer of this run down dimension" the imp began.  "Gotta say I like what you did with the place, but you have to know that it has to go back, right?'

 

The Madam knew that time had stopped for all in the room but she and her unwanted caller.  "So, you must be Mr ... ummm... I'm sorry, but this is your name, right?  Could you pronounce it for me?"  She swiveled a flat screen monitor his way with the word Kltpzyxm on it.

 

The imp smirked at her. "Nice try, but I'm sure your files don't say I'm stupid.  The name is Mr. Mxyzptlk, but you can call me Myx.  Besides, since I am here on business, that little trick holds no power on me."

 

"Hmmm... Business is it?"  The Madam purred as she pressed a button on the console.  Immediately four figures shimmered into existence and the JLA teleporters brought some of her prized employees into the room. The former Mary Marvel, Wonder Woman, Power Girl, and Supergirl all smiled and cooed enticing greetings to their recent playmate.  The girls looked at each other and giggled as they exchanged knowing looks.  The Madam smiled at Myx and said "I have to admit, I love your job and your work ethic.  If you are *really* in the mood to get something done, I can call the other 20 tarts you drilled this week."

 

Like Judith and Superman, the working girls all froze in place too.  "Not tonight darlin, but thanks for the offer." Myx replied, but he was mostly business now.  "Look, I have spent time watching what you have gotten done in the last two years.  You have improved things over all.  Wars are the last things on people's minds and so is violent crime.  In fact the streets are safer than they have been in over a century.  Bravo.  But here is the bad news.  In about 50 years, your dimension is going to implode if we don't stop the flow of the energy you are using soon.  Then you and every one here is toast.  It's not a threat and if you read your files, you know I don't do punishment.  It is just the way reality is on the dimensional scale.  I have to set things right before I go."

 

Myx soon learned that his adversary was more than able to defend her position.  "If I can believe you, I could understand why we would have to stop using the blue light devices, but I think things are *already* pretty damned right.  Last month my 'corrupted' heroes and villains kicked Darkseid's gravel ass back to Apokolips in record time.  We wiped out three quarters of his armies, including his elite.  Would the JLA have done that before?  You know how any human lives were lost in that invasion? *None*!  There is less poverty world wide now too.  You know why?  Because I send seed money there and have the heroes and villains secretly work on their infrastructure there.  Someday they will be some of my best customers.  Why does *that* have to end?"

 

"Sorry Babe." Myx answered.  "You put up a good argument, but an Imp has to do what an Imp has to do." And with that, a blinding flash of light washed the room away for the Merry Madam.  For a second she felt like she was floating in a calm sea of contentment, but only for a second.  As the feeling passed, the Madam's eyes snapped open with a start.  She was still in an opulent office; however the panoramic views were gone.  In fact, there were no windows at but if anything her computers and security equipment were far better.  Judith, Superman, and all her working girls were gone.  Only she and an evilly smiling imp remain.  Through her shock the Merry Madam growled "What have you done?  Where is everyone else?"

 

"What I did is fix the situation!" Myx chuckled.  "And all your employees are closer than you think."  The 5th dimensional wizard pointed at her wall of security monitors.  To the Madam's horror, every hero, heroine, and villain she had under her control a few minutes ago were pouring into the building.  Not only that, Judith and the Amazons were holding the doors open and getting everyone into position.  Never before had she felt so afraid.  The villains would surly kill her, but would the victimized heroes even try to help.  As the Madam's jaw dropped, Myx put a hand on her shoulder and said "No use delaying it.  It is time to face the music." 

 

After a minute of reviewing her thin hopes of survival, she picked herself out of the chair and moved to face her destiny with courage. 'I have had a great run.  I was even the most powerful person on the planet for a while.  If this is the end, then damn it I am not going to go out shaking in my boots."  Bravely the Merry Madam strolled out into the very gaming floor that Supergirl had been corrupted on and faced the scores of people she had once bent to her will.  The former heroines were all dressed in their old uniforms; former villainess as well.  When she was a third of the way across the room, she heard Supergirl shout "Ok everyone... NOW!"  All in unison the entire group joined together as one to show this evil woman exactly what they thought of her.  All present began singing "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow".

 

The Madam thought she was going to have a heart attack!  Her confusion and surprise were almost too much for even her to bear.  Then everyone in the room froze in place. She surveyed the room and saw Superman sneaking into her office with thier favorite play toys.  Mary Marvel and Big Barda were smoking.  Powergirl had her hand in Batman's pants.  She even caught a glimpse of something coming out of Elastic Man's pants cuff and snaking its way up a very happy Lois Lane's skirt which was completely unnoticed by his wife standing on his other side.  The Madam turned to a laughing Myx with a puzzled look. He responded "Had you going there!  The look on your face was *priceless*.  OK, I *fixed* the place.  That doesn't mean I set it back the way it was.  I replaced your blue lights with something as good but more dimensionally friendly."  The imp held up his left hand which was covered with a gauntlet encrusted with 6 glowing gems.  "This isn't the only universe I work in.  I took this from a mook called Thanos and replaced it with some inferior trinket I made with this beauty.  Anyway, your tech guy has a big enough supply to keep you in whammy lights for at least a year.  Also there are some other changes.  The heroines, heroes, and villains still are your slaves, but they all still act their old selves when they are not on shift with you.  A few hours a day they rescue folks, avert disasters, and save humanity just like they always did; but when no one is looking, they make a bee line to their real job with you.  That goes double for Big Blue."  The madam looked disappointed but Myx continued "Trust me, as much as you had him around before, even a super roll in the hay gets old.  It will be better this way."

 

Something occurred to the Madam and she quickly checked the crowd.  Every Amazon except for Wonder Woman was still dressed as an employee.  Some as madams, some as call girls, some even as street walkers; yet not one was dressed in their old garb like the heroines.  She asked her new friend "Why are the Amazons still dressed like whores?"

 

"You know, I tried to turn them back" the imp stated while scratching his head "but Zeus was quite clear in his orders.  He basically said no redos for them.  He warned them and they screwed the pooch.  Well now they will screw anything and Hera doesn't know it yet, but he has been slipping down here to have his fun with them as well.  I guess it pays to be the patron deity of horn dogs."  Myx smiled and asked "Isn't there something else you want to ask?" 

 

She tried to think of what he was talking about.  When Myx pointed up at the blue lights above she realized what he was talking about.  "The supplies you gave my tech support... how do I keep in supply?

 

Myx winked as he brought the crowd back to life.  He locked his arms around the very willing Mary Marvel and Big Barda and said "I think we can work *something* out."
