Part 1 – A Whole New World

 

It was November of 2000.  Much to everyone’s surprise the year 2000 was almost over and we had not had an environmental, nuclear, computer or divine apocalypse.  The phrases hanging chad and pregnant chad entered our vocabulary and became Jay Leno punch lines for the next twenty years.  The internet was obsessed with the deep and hidden significance of the phrase “All your base are belong to us!” and people actually took Survivor seriously.

With all this going on it’s easy to see how the world media had little time for the appearance of two new heroines in Megapolis…

***

“Surrender Global Gals!  You can’t stop me from destroying Megapolis!”  Dynamo yelled.

“Oh yeah?”  Maple Leaf yelled back.

“Yeah!”  Dynamo replied.

Maple Leaf frowned.  That was lame.  The Canadian heroine had hoped the art of witty superhero banter would come to her naturally but after almost a year she still had trouble with it.  Maybe there was a course she could take?

A blast of lightning singed her hair and brought her back to reality.

Dynamo was a powerful electrically powered villain who was threatening to blow up Giordano Dam and flood the whole city.  That was something else Maple Leaf just didn’t get, why flood the city?  What did this guy stand to gain?  Did he own a rubber raft shop or something?  Supervillains just didn’t make any sense to her.

But while she was musing about silly comic book plots, Dynamo just blasted her.  This time he caught her.  Maple Leaf’s body went rigid, her hair stood on end, she felt the front of her thin spandex costume vaporize and felt cold air on her bare breasts.  She began to fall.

Dynamo considered letting the Canadian die but then he saw those rigid nipples sticking out and he just had to save her for later.  He awkwardly flew down and caught the helpless heroine, and copped a feel of her breasts.  They were so firm!  He couldn’t believe it.  But distracted by his libido he didn’t see the other heroine.  Until she almost took his head off. 

Valkyrie landed another punch and swooped down to grab Maple Leaf before she hit the ground.  She slowly hovered down to the top of the dam. 

“Maple Leaf?  Can you hear me?  Are you OK?”  She couldn’t believe her leader had made that mistake!  Right before the battle Maple Leaf had warned them that Dynamo was too powerful and too quick for them to get distracted and that any distraction could be fatal.  And yet Maple Leaf had just hovered there daydreaming like a school girl while Dynamo blasted her.

These thoughts were still going through Val’s head when Dynamo blasted her.  Right in the ass.  She felt the back of her costume disintegrate and fell helpless on top of her leader.  Dynamo liked the sight of that ass and blasted her again.  The blond Swede cried out, but y’know, it sounded like a moan of pleasure.  Weird. 

Distracted he almost didn’t notice Tigress flying up behind him.

Almost.

His electrical senses detected the battery in the cell phone tucked in her thigh-high boot.  He smirked.  This was going to be too good. 

Tigress grinned; the stupid white man was too obsessed with the white women to notice her.  He’d be easy prey.  Naturally the overconfident white women had allowed this fool to defeat them.  Tigress always thought they lacked her killer instinct and clear understanding of what must be done.  A result of their spoiled First World upbringing no doubt.  Well she’d show this villain what a real heroine could do-

“AH!” She cried out as thousands of volts of static electricity hit her from all sides.  Her thin spandex costume disintegrated totally and she fell helplessly to the ground joining her two friends.

Dynamo shook his head at the hot helpless heroines sprawled out on the dam. 

Damn.

He thought about what he’d do with them. 

Damn.

But business before pleasure.

“Stupid broads.  I’m gonna blow up this dam and there’s nothing the three ‘Global Protectors’ can do to stop me!”

“Three?  Who said there are three Global Protectors?”

He saw white and blue blurs just before the punches landed on his face.  The last thing he remembered before blacking out was two gorgeous girls laughing at him.

***

The Global Protectors are a start-up superheroine team from Megapolis.  Their three members have the rather predictable superpowers of strength, flight and limited invulnerability and wear unimaginative costumes consisting of a bathing suit, gloves and thigh-high boots.  The only interesting twist on this team is their claim to be ‘truly global’ since each member hails from a different country.  Their members are Maple Leaf from Canada, Tigress from Africa and Valkyrie from Switzerland. – The Kirby Guide to Heroes and Heroines, 2000 Edition

***

The next day…

Maple Leaf looked at the team’s entry in the Kirby Guide which she had taped to the door of their office.  On one hand it was a sign they had arrived, the Kirby Guide was the definitive guide to every superhero and heroine since World War II.  But on the other hand it was a reminder of how far they had to go to become respected heroines.  While Ultra Woman got a 4 page listing and multiple photos the GP had one paragraph that positively dripped with scorn.  It even left out Tigress’ country (Africa’s a big place!) and listed the wrong country for Val!  Well today that would change; today she was going to put the GP on the map!  After today, everyone would know the Global Protectors.

***

“And so the Global Protectors are proud to welcome our two newest members, La Sola and Rising Sun!”

The half dozen reports applauded politely as the two new heroines descended gracefully from the sky.  One was a tan voluptuous Latina, her dangerous curves barely constrained by her blue and white costume.  The other a slim, willowy Asian feeling dangerously exposed in white and red spandex.  The handful of reports present perked up as the girls arrived, cameras came out and a few wolf whistles were heard.

On stage Maple Leaf, the leader of the newly-formed Global Protectors, tried not let her irritation show.  She had hoped this would be a big day, with reporters from all the networks and the major dailies but only half dozen freelancers had shown up and they seemed more interested in the free doughnuts than the real story here.  She took a deep breath and carried on; maybe this would still work out OK.

“La Sola, whose name means ‘the sun’ in her native Spanish is from Argentina!  As a civilian she was known for her charitable work and she’s very excited to have this chance to help people all around the world!”

Jillian Havre tactfully omitted the part about La Sola being shot and left for dead by a death squad.  The process that gave the Global Protectors their powers only worked on women who were near death.  Jillian had never quite understood why.  When she asked their benefactor Dr. Boyd he went on about psychic trauma and the need for psychokinetic catalyst.  Or something.  Frankly Jillian suspected that he was just making up nonsense words and didn’t know how the process worked either.  Whatever.

“So please give a big hand to welcome, LA SOLA!”

Carmen Mendez turned towards the knot of reporters and gave them a great big, natural smile.  She deliberately leaned over to give the photographers a good look at her cleavage (she’d modified her costume so it dipped a bit lower than the others’) and was rewarded with an explosion of flashbulbs. 

Her sensitive ears picked up several reports muttering “she looks just like J-Lo.”

Jillian nodded approvingly and turned to the other new heroine.  “Our first Asian member takes her name from her country’s flag, she is Rising Sun!” 

Kisume Hiro tried to hide her face behind her black hair.  As an engineer in Japan she was used to fading into the background.  She never wanted to be any kind of heroine; she just had the bad luck to be in the lab when those Yakuza thugs broke in looking to steal her work.  She honestly didn’t remember much about what happened; just that she’d foolishly tried to stop them and had been shot.  She spent months in a coma before she found herself reborn with strange new powers and was told that she was now a superheroine.  Kisume went along with it but now in front of these cameras, shivering in her spandex bathing suit she was wondering if she was really cut out for this. 

“Now then” Maple Leaf began “I would like to share some of the Global Protectors’ accomplishments over the last year-“

A cell phone rang.  One of the freelancers muttered an apology and answered it.

“Besides saving the city and capturing Dynamo last night-“

“Hey guys!  The Teen Angels are opening a new Gap on Finger Street right now!”

“-we also saved the lives of thousands of Kenyans during the tragic forest fires-“

“Crap is the Teen Angel thing today?”

“So that’s where everyone is!”

“Damn, now those are some hot heroines!”

“Come on we can share a cab!”

“Hey uh, Captain Canada thanks for the doughnuts!”

“Um, right, any time, don’t forget to pick up a press release on your way out…”

***

“It’s not your fault Maple Leaf, there’s no way you could have known the Teen Angels were doing something the same day.”

“We can’t blame them for going for the big story.”

“It’s the way of the world mi amiga.  When you’re dealing with men, even beautiful underdressed women must make way for beautiful underdressed teenagers.”

They all laughed at that. 

“Thanks ay… but let me tell you, I promise that someday reporters will be ignoring those tramps to cover OUR achievements!”  She took a deep breath and put on a smile.  “OK who wants to grab a beer?”

They all headed for the showers to put on some real clothes.

***

That night…

“Actually the correct Spanish would be ‘La Sol’. ‘La Sola’ actually means ‘alone’ or ‘the loner’.”

“Opps, sorry about that ay?”

“I’m sure no one noticed and it should be easy to fix later.”

“Still I feel bad…”

“Don’t worry Jillian!  It’s actually a little funny, because ‘the loner’ definitely does not describe me…”

La Sola eyed some of the men across the bar… She’d been thinking about super sex lately and well… she did have something to celebrate tonight.

And across the table…

Val-san you still use cell phones to communicate?”

“Well yes, we’d like something more advanced but we just don’t have the money…”

“Well I am an engineer; perhaps I can come up with something.  Give me that napkin.”

Rising Sun took out a pen and started to sketch designs.  The others looked on impressed.  She was glad to have something concrete to work on.  Something where she was the expert.  Surrounded by these confident aggressive women in this strange country she really felt out of her depth.

***

Three days later…

“Surrender Global Protectors!  You will never stop us from robbing this bank!” the blue and grey armored robot yelled.

Maple Leaf wondered why a robot would bother yelling its plan.  Wouldn’t robots just operate silently and efficiently, communicating with the other robots by radio or something?  Surely they wouldn’t just stand in the middle of the street and yell threats?

Distracted by these thoughts Maple Leaf was tackled from behind by another of Doctor Droid’s warbots.   She struggled with it but to no avail; it was too strong for her.  Then it started to pull at her shoulder straps, obviously intending to strip her publicly for some insane reason.  As the first strap started to tear Maple Leaf snarled and elbowed the warbot hard enough to break its titanium endoskeleton and send it flying back.  She spun and jumped on top of it. 

“DAMNIT!  This is my last costume!  Do you have any fucking idea how much these cost!?” 

She felt like her strength was at a new level as she tore the warbot apart with her bare hands.  Yeah.  That felt good.

Glowing with perspiration she looked around to see how her comrades were doing.  Val and Tigress were trading blows with some of the warbots, she saw Val tear the head off one and Tigress spear another with a lamppost. 

Good.

Looking up she saw La Sola flying overhead dodging plasma blasts from two flying warbots.  The Argentine flew faster and faster and then dove sharply.  The two ‘bots shattered like toys when they hit a concrete wall at more than 300 miles per hour.  Maple Leaf grinned, Doctor Droid was the first villain the team had fought and it was good to see their new member was a match for his evil robots.  She looked around for their Japanese member but saw no sign of her.  Maple Leaf hoped nothing bad had happened.

***

“Run away!”  Rising Sun cried hysterically as she held up the ceiling.  The droids’ plasma blasts had started a fire and she was trying to get everyone out of this old building before it collapsed.   “Run!”

Smoke was filling her button nose and her eyes were watering.  Despite her powers she could feel the heat of the flames, despite her super strength she could barely hold up the ceiling.  Finally the last person got out (an old woman holding a box with several cats) and Rising Sun let go.  She ran for the door but was a second too slow, the ceiling finally collapsed on the young Japanese girl pinning her under a ton of flaming wreckage.  She screamed in fear and it enveloped her.  Panicking, she desperately tried to crawl out but could barely budge the wreckage that pinned her.  She started to scream!

As with all of the Protectors, Rising Sun’s powers were derived from a psychic field that surrounded her, protecting her from harm and allowing her to lift great weights or defy gravity.  Like all psychic abilities her powers were affected by her state of mind, fear, doubt and stress hindered them considerably.  But this was only her second battle, the poor girl had no idea that panicking was the worst thing she could do.

The wreckage started to move, Rising Sun reached up and felt two strong hands grab her wrists and pull her free.

“Val-san?  Is that-“

It wasn’t Valkyrie.

The blue and grey warbot gazed at Rising Sun’s soot-covered body with soulless yellow eyes.  It let go of her wrists and put her on her feet.  The frightened girl started to stammer “th-thank yo-“.

Then the robot punched her between the legs.  Rising Sun gasped once and crumpled into a fetal position.

The warbot kicked her in the gut for good measure and then cruelly grabbed the girl’s hair pulling her off the ground.  Razor sharp claws popped from its left hand.  It held them close to her face waving them slowly in front of her wide eyes.

Then it let go and kicked her between the legs.

The heroine squealed and landed with a thud on a pile of trash.

The robot leapt on top of her.  One metal hand wrapped around her willowy throat, the other waving claws before her.  The dazed girl could barely speak.

“P-please…”

The robot relaxed its grip slightly.

“Please what?” it barked in a thick Austrian accent.

“D-don’t hurt me… please”

It punched her in the face cracking her lip.

“Why not?”

“I’ll do anything!  Please!  Please! P-“

“Yes.  You will.  Remember that.” 

The robot tightened its grip. 

For Rising Sun the world went black.

***

“How you doing ay?”

Rising Sun groaned.  Someone was shouting at her.

“Good job there!”  She felt someone hit her on the arm.

Rising Sun opened her eyes.  It was Maple Leaf grinning at her.

“Saved a whole apartment building of people!  Not bad for your second case ay?”

“B-but…”

“I know, the falling rubble knocked you out.”  Maple Leaf wiped a bit of blood from Rising Sun’s lip.  “Looks like you got banged up, but don’t forget we have rapid healing powers.  You’ll be OK in a day or two.”

“R-right.”

“Any hey, good job, you’re a real heroine now!”

***

La Sola quickly joined the search and rescue effort.  Although there did not seem to be any fatalities the robots had done a lot of damage.  She flew into some of the damaged buildings helping to hold them up while firemen and paramedics searched for the wounded.  After a few hours she was hot, sweaty and covered in soot.  But she didn’t mind, they’d found five wounded people and gotten all of them out in time.  Now it was time for a shower and a good rest.

Carmen yawned and arched her back stretching luxuriously. She had to smile as she noticed the firemen staring at her ample assets on display.  She listened to the whispers and whistles as she passed the cops and firemen but was hardly offended.  If anything she was flattered.  From what she had gathered the other girls on the team had been plain Janes before Doctor Boyd’s process has changed them.  Rising Sun and Valkyrie for example were obviously uncomfortable with men’s stares but Carmen was quite used to being the center of attention.  In Argentina her father was a prominent politician, her mother a beauty queen.  Carmen herself had some local fame as a designer and a beauty herself.  She knew the poor men just could not control themselves with so much tan female flesh around.  She waved to them and smiled.

She licked her lips for a second at the naughty thoughts it gave her but… no.  She was going home to get some rest.  She took a few steps forward and got ready to take off when…

“Cigarette?”

He was young good-looking fireman in a navy blue uniform, with curly blond hair and a charming smile.  He introduced himself as Johnny Five.  La Sola wondered about his odd name and decided he was worth a few minutes of her time.  They chatted a bit and he got her number.  Flying home she wondered if he’d call later.

***

Kisume Hiro toweled herself off and put on her pajamas.  Rapid healing powers or not, her bruises still ached.  She hoped the rest of her career wouldn’t be like this.  Her Megapolis apartment was tiny, even smaller than her old apartment in Tokyo.  She just couldn’t afford anything else on her meager stipend from the team.  Maple Leaf was looking for way to get more money but for now…  Kisume shook her head.  It was too late for doubts and regrets, Doctor Boyd had saved her life and she owed this to him.  She was glad no one had seen the robot humiliate her and make her beg.  If anyone ever saw her like that her career as Rising Sun would be over.  She would have to try to be brave, try to be like her teammates.

Rising Sun drifted off to sleep with these thoughts warring in her head.

The corner of her small bedroom blurred as a Wardroid dropped its holographic camouflage. 

***

Toweling herself off after a hot shower Carmen Mendez put on her camisole and jeans so she could go out.  Her father made sure her Megapolis apartment was not too far below what she was used to.  It was no match for her family villa in Buenos Aires of course but it was acceptable. 

Her phone rang, it was Johnny the fireman.  He asked how she was.  He asked if she was feeling better.  He asked what she was wearing.  He happened to mention he had a bottle of white wine and wondered if she would like him to come over.

Carmen thought about that one for a second.  Maple Leaf had explicitly told them to make sure no one could connect their real identities with their superhero identities.  Without secret identities the Global Protectors would be vulnerable to attacks, lawsuits and tax audits!  Bringing someone to Carmen Mendez’s apartment was a big no-no.

But then again… It was just one guy and Carmen would be very discreet.  Besides after today’s victory didn’t she deserve a bit of relaxation?  Of course she did. 

Carmen invited the boy over.

***

In Rising Sun’s bedroom the robot moved silently until it climbed on top of her sleeping form.  The robot started unbuttoning her pajama top bit by bit.  As it undid the last button the girl stirred restlessly and Kisume awoke with a start. 

She tried to scream but the robot thrust a metal hand into her mouth.  The Japanese girl struggled and tried to fly up or to throw it off but she could not budge it.  She could feel its other hand moving around be her ear and even feel a probe entering her ear canal, doing something in there.  There was a moment of pain as she felt something stick to her inner ear and then the probe withdrew.

Thin needles pierced her skin on the neck and she felt a sudden wave of cold through her body.  She wondered what drugs she had just been injected with.  She felt weak and could not feel her biokinetic field any more.  Her heart began to pound.  She hadn’t been able to beat these robots with her powers, if they could take them away…  She heard a voice in her ear; it was deep and strong, clouded by a thick Austrian accent.

“Hello again heroine.  Are you ready to keep your promise?”

Rising Sun’s eyes went wide, she remembered her fearful words to Doctor Droid, what would he want from her?  She tried to shake her head, to be brave.  The robot’s blank face seemed to smile.  Once again it held a hand in front of her wide eyes and popped out razor sharp steel claws from its fingertips.  It ran the claws down her cheeks just grazing the smooth skin without piercing it.  Yet.  It removed the hand from her mouth and locked it around her long willowy neck.  The voice in her ear repeated the question.

Courage forgotten, Rising Sun nodded frantically.

“Good heroine, good.  Now what was it you said you would do?”

“A-anything… anything… please don’t kill me.  Please…”

The robot climbed off of her, the girl pulled a sheet up to her neck to hide the exposed strip of flesh down the middle of her body.

“Anything you say?”

Rising Sun just nodded, unable to deal with the shame of admitting it again.

“Say if I asked for your friend’s secret identities.  Would you tell me that?”

Rising Sun hesitated, if she gave Doctor Droid that information he could kill her friends easily.  And it would be her fault!  “No, not that, please don’t ask me for that…”

The voice in her ear laughed.  It was not a pleasant laugh.  The robot popped its claws and took a step forward.  Rising Sun screamed! 

“I’ll tell you!  I’ll tell you!  I’ll tell you!” she yelled in Japanese. 

The voice laughed again.  “Pathetic.  The others lasted so much longer than you.”

“Others?”

“Do you think you’re the first heroine I’ve taken a liking to?”

Rising Sun froze, she’d never thought of that.

“You’re not.  You’re just weakest.  Even the Teen Angels showed more spirit.”

Rising Sun lowered her head in shame.

“I won’t ask for your friends’ secret identities, let’s just say I don’t need to hear it from you.”

“Please don’t hurt my friends!”

“You’re a demanding one.  First you would do anything to save yourself and now you expect to buy your friends’ safety too.  Well we’ll have to see.  Stand up Rising Sun.”

Rising Sun climbed out from behind the sheet and stood helpless before the Wardroid.  She reached to close her top.

“Right idea, wrong direction.  Take it off.”

Rising Sun fought down a sob and took of her top exposing her lean body and small breasts.

***

The fireman knocked on Carmen’s door within fifteen minutes of calling.  She greeted him at the door with a caste kiss on the cheek.  He brought flowers and the promised bottle of wine.  She poured two glasses and they sat on the couch.

She listened to his stories of saving lives and admired his muscles.

He listened to her stories of saving lives and admired other parts of her body.

They got a little closer.  Then a lot.  He peeled up her camisole and sucked on her breasts.  She opened the fly on her jeans; he reached in and fingered her.  Carmen convulsed as his fingers brushed her engorged citreous.  The couch fell over backwards spilling both of them to the floor.  They didn’t care.

***

Rising Sun winced as the robot touched her face again, expecting it to cut her to ribbons but instead it was just a soft caress.  With its other arm it undid the draw string on her pajama pants; they fell to the floor leaving the frightened Japanese girl dressed only in her white panties.  She shivered.

“Pretty, pretty” the robot said in the same voice as the one in her ear.  What was it going to do?  Rape her?  Why would a robot even be interested in that?  What did it want?

“Put this on.”  It held out a sheer pink nightgown that would not even cover Kisume’s butt cheeks.  She wiggled into it.

“And take those off.”  Kisume turned her back and pulled down the panties.  Now she felt more exposed than before, she could see her black pubic hairs through the thin material. 

“N-now what?  S-sir?”

The doorbell rang.

“Answer the door and do what you have to do.  And remember I’m watching.”  The robot moved back to the corner and disappeared again behind its holographic illusion.

Shivering Rising Sun walked to the door.

***

Carmen bit her lip as the fireman entered her.  This was INCREDIBLE!  She’d never gotten this hot this fast.  Johnny started to pump into her and she began to hyperventilate.  Was he this good?  Or was she this horny?  After a few seconds the Latin temptress no longer cared.

***

Rising Sun opened the door slowly, hesitantly, expecting a robot attacker or even Doctor Droid himself on the other side.

But it was just a chubby balding white man.  He leered at her greedily.

“Goldie Honeypot I assume?”

Rising Sun froze.  No!  Not this! 

“Ah!”  She clutched her ear as the electric shock hit.

“You said ‘anything’; you’d do anything to buy your life.  Well this is how you’ll earn it.  Be very, very nice to ‘John’ here and I’ll let you go.  Or…”

Rising Sun nodded “yes, yes, hai!

“Um, are you OK?”  The girl had answered the door and stumbled like someone bit her.

Eh?  Me?  Yes!  Fine, fine, beri fine, tank you.”  Stress made her forget her English.

‘John’ leaned in for a kiss, Rising Sun offered only her cheek.  After another shock she turned and offered her lips.  His tongue invaded her unwilling mouth.

“Mmm, you’re not like the other escort girls, they never let me kiss.  Course I knew that when I saw your ad in the Megapolis Image last week, you looked so sweet and innocent.  You’re worth the $200 baby.”

Rising Sun winced at that.  But somewhere in the back of her mind she realized what it meant when he saw ‘her ad’ a week ago.  How could Doctor Droid have known?  How?

John started kissing her neck and pulling down the shoulder straps on her sheer pink nighty.  Kisume moaned unconsciously at the stimulation.  She didn’t even notice until John had pulled the nighty below her erect nipples.  She started and tried to pull away but another shock hit her and made her squeal.  Naturally John misunderstood.

“Want it rough huh?  Good.  I like it rough!”  He pushed her to the ground and started biting her nipples hard.  He thrust his clothed crotch into her pelvis again and again.  The Japanese girl shrieked and started to struggled but another shock reminded her of her predicament.  John started to unzip.  Kisume bit her lip and awaited the inevitable. 

***

“OH Madre de dios!  YES! YES! Oh God YES!”

Carmen whipped her head from side to side as the third orgasm hit.  She was being pushed up against a wall by the fireman; she could feel the plaster crack behind her. 

***

“Not bad heroine.  Not bad.  You were enjoying it by the end.”

The robot was holding her in an embrace, forcing her slim body against its cold metallic one.  Small tendrils were extending once more into her ear, removing the bug it had implanted earlier.

“N-no… NO!  I wasn’t…”

“You can’t lie to my sensors heroine.  Tonight Rising Sun was a rising slut.”  Somehow the robot managed to chuckle dryly. 

“But…”  She silently admitted defeat.  A few hot tears leaked from her eyes.  “W-why?  Why?  You could have killed me, or kidnapped me or anything, why do this?”

“Why not?”

“Damn you!”  Rising Sun impotently pounded her fists against the robot’s chest.  Her super strength was still gone.  She had more ability to hurt the titanium and ceramic droid than any other woman.  The robot chuckled again and seized her wrists.

“Behave yourself, unless ‘Goldie Honeypot’ wants some more customers.”

Rising Sun stopped struggling.

“This was a lesson for you.  They can give you powers.  They can give you a pretty costume and a heroine name.  They can dress you up and put you in front of the cameras.  But you are no heroine.  You are a frightened girl.”

“N-no!”

“Terrorists entered your lab to steal your work.  What did you do?”

“I tried to stop them!”

“Did you?”

“I wanted to… I really did…”

“You hid.”

“Yes.”

“And then?”

“I… please don’t make me say it!”

“Allow me.  They found you.  You crawled out begging them not to hurt you.  You offered to fuck them if they would let you go.”

“How do you know?”

“What happened then?”

“They… they shot me.  And left me to die.  The next thing I remember was waking up in Dr. Boyd’s lab.  He said I was a hero; I’d risked my life to stop terrorists.  I… what could I say?”

“You could have said the truth.  You are no heroine, you are a coward.” 

“NO!”

The droid raised and fist to hit her and the Japanese girl flinched and hid her face.

“I’m sorry!  I’m a coward!  I’m sorry!  Sorry…”

She sobbed for a few minutes waiting for a blow to land or for more harsh words but none came.  Finally Rising Sun looked up. 

The droid was gone.

Or was it?

She pulled on a robe and looked around the room.  She felt in the corners and found nothing.  But the door and windows were closed, it couldn’t have left. 

Could it?

Rising Sun started to hyperventilate, was it watching her now? 

Of course it was!  Even if the robot was gone it could have left cameras, bugs, anything!

She quickly threw on clothes and ran to the street.

***

La Sola cuddled with the fireman.  He’d been so good to her but by now he must be spent.  She kissed his neck and he rolled over towards her. 

The doorbell rang.

La Sola ignored it and continued kissing the fireman’s strong shoulders.

It rang again.

And again.

Finally she sighed, threw on a robe and answered the buzzer.

“La Sola! La Sola!  It’s me Rising Sun, please let me in!  You have to let me in!”

Scared, La Sola buzzed her teammate in.

Rising Sun ran in and hugged her teammate.

“Oh Carmen-san, I had to see you it was terrible!”

Johnny walked out wearing nothing but his boxers and asked “Hey, who’s your friend?” 

The fireman locked eyes with Rising Sun and for a second his blue eyes flashed an electric yellow.  Rising Sun shuddered.

“Kisume this is Johnny, Johnny this is Kisume.  She’s a friend from… work.  Now Kisume, what happened?”

“What?  Oh, um, I had a bad dream.  It was very scary.  I’m sorry to disturb you, I’ll go home now.”  She turned towards the door but Carmen grabbed her arm.

“Nonsense!  Come Kisume; let me get you some tea, Johnny, why don’t you take a shower.”

“OK.”

The two heroines talked for a while but Kisume refused to say anything other than she’d had a bad dream and was sorry.  Carmen could see she was lying; the girl was wearing nothing but a tee shirt and a pair of sweat pants and was close to tears.  Something was obviously very wrong but even with Johnny in the shower she wouldn’t say anything.  Finally Johnny reemerged.  Carmen yawned.

“Kisume, I don’t want you going home tonight OK?  Stay here on the couch; we can talk in the morning.”  She gave Kisume a blanket and headed back to bed with Johnny.

With Rising Sun’s enhanced hearing she could not miss the sound of kissing which became moans of pleasure and whispered promises.  She shuddered again.  Had she really seen his eyes turn yellow?  Was ‘Johnny’ really another of Doctor Droid’s creations? 

She waited restlessly almost hiding under the covers. 

The sounds from the bedroom grew into cries and gasps but finally ended, replaced by calm breaths.  Kisume looked again at the front door, she could still get out!

She quietly rose to her feet and reached for her coat.  The bedroom door opened.

“You’ve been a bad girl.  You were going to tell her.”  The voice was cold and mechanical.

Kisume froze.  It was ‘Johnny’, he was naked and his eyes glowed yellow.

“I… I’m sorry.”  She lowered her head.

The robot chuckled.  It took a few steps closer.

“How sorry?”

“Please don’t hurt me!”

“Take off your clothes.”

“Please don’t!”

Johnny’s fingers crackled with electricity.  Rising Sun retreated a few steps and did what he asked.  It took a step closer.  She retreated again.  It took a step; she retreated a bit and hit the wall.

“Please…”  Tears filled her eyes.  She raised her arms to ward Johnny off.  He took her wrists and moved her hands, one to her breasts, one to her crotch.  He moved them around. 

“You know what to do?”

Kisume nodded.  She rubbed her small breasts and massaged her pussy while Johnny watched.  The droid smiled and gave the heroine her instructions. 

***

“Mmm, where’d you go?”

“Just getting some water.  Hey is your friend OK?  She sounded like she had a stomach ache or something.”

“Hmm, I better check on her.”

La Sola walked into her living room and was greeted with the smell of sweat and other fluids.  “Oh Kisume!”

The Japanese girl was rubbing her bare breasts and rubbing her hand between her legs.  She froze when the door opened.

“I…”  What could she say?

“Oh Kisume, I’m so sorry!”

“Sorry?”

“You must have heard us and here you were all alone!  If I had known how you felt I would have invited you to join us!”

“J-join?”

“Well maybe next time, I imagine Johnny can barely walk by now.  So try to cool down, maybe take a cold shower and we can all have some fun in the morning.  Ciao!”

“Join?”

Rising Sun sat for some time.  After a while her enhanced ears picked up a whispered conversation about stamina and appetites followed by the sound of a bed shaking.

She staggered to her feet, threw on her clothes and ran from the apartment.  Robots here!  Robots there!  And her teammate is a crazed sex fiend!  Rising Sun got back home and hid under her covers for the rest of the night.

***

Eventually La Sola drifted off to an exhausted, contented sleep.  Johnny leaned over and started to whisper in her ear.

“Good girl, good heroine.  You deserve this don’t you?  You save all those people after all; don’t you deserve a good fuck?  Don’t you need one?  Don’t you deserve to feel like this every night?”

The ultrasonics and carefully measured tones reached deep into her mind without awakening the sleeping Latina.  She just nodded and muttered ‘si’. 

Johnny was an XTC-69 model, cloned human flesh with a computer brain and enhanced sexual organs.  He could go all night well into the next day without tiring.  In one night he had pushed La Sola’s enhanced body to its limits, making her cum more times than she had thought possible.  And leaving her hungry for more. 

He transmitted the physiological and psychological data to Doctor Droid as he slipped out.  He headed for Doctor Droid’s lab in an abandoned warehouse for reprogramming.   Perhaps next week he would be sleeping with a presidential candidate’s twin daughters or the Teen Angels.  He didn’t care; he was just a droid with as much feeling as a toaster or a laptop.

For Doctor Droid however it had been quite a night.  The XTC-69s had relays built right into their central nervous system.  What they felt, he felt.  And he liked what he felt.

“Well I hope you both had a good rest.”

La Sola nodded lazily and sat back, a content smile on her face.  Rising Sun offered some unconvincing nods.  No one noticed.

They were back in the Global Protectors cramped office at the World Peace Institute.  Maple Leaf was talking about the budget. 

Again.

“The Argentine and Japanese governments have both given us grants to cover your stipends but nothing more.  The World Peace Institute says they have no money to spare, actually they want us to start paying rent.”

“Some thanks we get for saving Chairman Loveless’ life…”

“I know Val, I know.  So I need ideas people, how can we keep this team afloat?”

The heroines started tossing out ideas.  La Sola mentioned a fan club; Maple Leaf didn’t like that idea but said some sort of education and empowerment program for women might be more appropriate.  Val gave them a long list of companies and rich donors that might help the team but no one was too interested in begging for handouts.

Finally Rising Sun spoke up.  “Why do we need donations?  In Japan heroes do not do such things.”

“I suppose in Japan all the heroes are millionaire playboys!  Goddamn rich kid heroes, just build yourself some iron suit and you’re off fighting the Viet Cong or whoever make the rest of us look bad-“

“What do they do in Japan?”  Val asked cutting off her leader’s favorite rant.

“Well in Japan they are like celebrities.  They have TV shows and cartoons and do commercials and-“

“No, that’s not going to work here in America.  I mean superheroes doing commercials?  Everyone knows heroes aren’t supposed to take rewards for what they do.  Course no one seems to know how you’re supposed to pay the rent if you’re not some goddamn millionaire playboy with a stately manor and a cave under it to-“

“So in Japan how do new heroes get started?”  Val tossed in cutting off the rant.

“Well I suppose it’s like any other show business job, they audition.  If they are accepted the agency gets them sponsors and so on.  A few years back Moon Princess went from being an unknown junior high school girl to the highest paid woman in Japan.”

La Sola, Val and Tigress smiled.  Maple Leaf stopped ranting and looked at Rising Sun.

The Japanese girl turned beet red and wished she’d kept quiet.

 

Epilogue

 

Deep beneath Megapolis in a hidden bunker the mysterious villain known only as Doctor Droid looked at the results of this weeks experiments.  They had far exceeded his expectations.  Years ago he had released clones of himself, each with false memories and identities but with all of his genius.  They had gone into different fields, accomplished different things and he had watched from afar.  One, Dr. Drake Boyd had gone into biology, superhuman biology, and with some help from his proud father had developed a very interesting process for creating superheroines. 

The first batch had been successful; they were beautiful, powerful, but vulnerable to anyone who knew their weaknesses.  But this second batch was magnificent.  By instructing Boyd, Droid had eliminated the enhanced intelligence and will power seen in the first three.  In its place was an even more enhanced libido and, based on these readings, an even greater potential for sexual addition. 

Droid studied the readings and began planning improvements Boyd could use for the third group he had planned.
