Issue 21 – How Night Fox Girl became a woman

 

Gloria Barbarossa stepped off the Pan-Am flight at Miami airport.  She walked silently out of the terminal.  Warren was waiting in his convertible.  They drove downtown without saying a word.

The funeral home was already crowded.  Most of the guests were retirees, snowbirds from Megapolis who knew Wes Adams there.  Others were people he had helped in the last two years in Miami; the grandmother swindled by the con artist, the store-owner in trouble with a loan shark, and the family whose house was burned down by a greedy developer.  They lined up to express their condolences to Warren, he just nodded and thanked them quietly.  No one took much note of Gloria, which was for the best.  It would awkward to explain her connection to the late millionaire. 

Her job was to wait by the door and watch for a certain kind of guest. 

She spotted one, a tall, tan muscular man, his teeth were almost unnaturally white, his eyes sparking with their own light.  She smoothly moved to intercept him before he joined the other mourners.

“Colonel Liberty” she whispered “I think you want to join the ‘private service’ in the rear salon.”  The man smiled and nodded and ducked through the door she indicated.  There was a flash of light from under the door and Gloria moved back to the wake.

The Minx spotted a few other heroes and heroines and showed them to the ‘private service’.  The wake was almost over, but she was dreading what would come next.

Then she spotted her.  She was older of course and they had never met in person.  She’d retired almost 20 years ago after all.  But the Minx had spent years studying Wes’ files, and even grey hair, wrinkles and an extra 30 pounds couldn’t hide that face.

“Night Cat” she hissed.

***

Night Cat – During the early 50s this sexy cat burglar bedeviled Night Fox and Ferret, committing daring cat-themed robberies and setting up elaborate death traps.  Rumor had it her whole career was just a ruse to get the Cunning Crusader’s attention.  She disappeared in 1953, some said it was due to a broken heart when Night Fox refused her affections.  – The Kirby Guide to Heroes and Villains, 1971 edition

***

“Excuse me madam, how do you know the deceased?”  Gloria asked while politely but firmly taking her arm.

“Oh we had a professional relationship.  Professional and personal you might say.”

“It must have been some time ago.”

“Oh you’d be surprised, we stayed in touch over the years.  I’d like to pay my respects.”

Gloria looked her over.  The former villainess seemed sincere.  And she was certainly in no shape to cause any real trouble.  She released the aging villainess’ arm and let her go.

The aging woman shuffled in, whispered something to Warren, left a flower on the coffin, sobbed a few times and left.

The Minx watched her carefully, she thought she saw a hint of a smile.  But only a hint. 

Finally the wake was over and guests had left.  Warren told them Wes’ remains would be cremated and scattered on the grounds of stately Adams Manor.  Everyone agreed it was a touching gesture.

The Gloria and Warren wheeled the coffin into the back room and started peeling off their clothes.  Gloria took a vacuum-sealed coat out of her bag, as soon as she opened it, it expanded to full-size.  For Warren it was a bit hard to squeeze into his old Ferret costume but he managed.  She nodded and he pushed a button on the apparatus.  There was a flash of light, and they were gone.

***

They appeared in a flash of light aboard the old Avenging League of Justice satellite.  Everyone was waiting.  Dozens of them.  Some in black suits, some in costume, all there to honor the fallen Night Fox.  Even the Minx couldn’t name all of them.

Warren greeted them.  “I… I just want to thank you all for coming.  I don’t think I’ve seen so many of us together since the Liberator and the American Dream died in that plane accident.  I just want you to know, Wes… Night Fox, would really appreciate this.”

There were murmurs of agreement from the assembled heroes.  Someone handed Warren a glass and he raised it.  “To Night Fox!”

“To Night Fox!”  They all echoed and downed their glasses.

The mass of heroes split up into different cliques.  The Minx and Ferret made a slow circuit, talking to each one. 

Here was a knot of Night Fox’s old comrades from the World War II Invading Society of Justice.  There were his allies from the 60s Avenging League of Justice.  Finally there were some modern heroes.

Ferret exchanged cordial greetings with them while the Minx tried not to make eye contact.

“Armor Man thank you for coming.”  She muttered unconvincingly.

“Always a pleasure foxy, always a pleasure.”

“And Liberator Woman… nice to uh, see you again.”

“Have we met?”  The blonde asked innocently.

“No, we never have.”  She turned away.

“Oh, Arrow Man.”

“Foxy.”

“Um, thanks for coming.”

“Yeah, well, I only met him a few times but Night Fox was a stand up kind of guy.  Not like some people you meet these days.”

“Um, yeah…  Thanks.”

“Oh Minx!  Good to see you again!  I’m so sorry about Night Fox, I never met him but I studied all about back on the island.  He was a real hero.  Oh and Timmy sends his condolences too.”

“Thanks Princess Patriot, that means a lot to us.  I’ve uh, gotta go.”

***

“What was that all about?”  Warren whispered.  “You acted like you were trying avoid them.”

“It’s complicated.  I sort of slept with Arrow Man, and Armor Man, and then I caught him in bed with Liberator Woman.  Princess Patriot’s sweet but she’s been sleeping with Timmy O’Leary.”

“Oh.  Yeah that is complicated.”

“Let’s just move on.  Hey it’s Fernando!”  She ran over and hugged Wes’ old butler. 

"Fernando, I'm so glad you made it, how's life on your own?  You must be glad to finally be out of that drafty mansion and damp cave."

"Yes Miss Barbarossa, quite happy."

"Well you must come back to Megapolis to visit. I can show you the Minx Pad and everything I've built."

"Thank you Miss Barbarossa I would appreciate that very much."

"Actually I prefer Ms- oh just call me Gloria, we're old friends after all."

"Yes Miss- I mean Gloria, perhaps I can come next week."

"Great next week then!  Hey there's my partner let me go say hi."

"Of course Gloria, see you soon."

The she saw Stella lurking in a corner.  The Minx came near and the girl of the stars gave her partner a hug.  

“Gloria, I’m so sorry.  I know how much he meant to you.”

“Thanks Lynn.  I really appreciate it.”

“I just wish you’d told me he was sick.  Stellar Man had this alien cancer drug at the Fortress, I totally would have-“

“Um no Lynn, it’s OK.  Believe me I thought about it but Night Fox, he really didn’t like magic and alien technology.”

“Oh.”

“Anyway thank you for coming but you’d better get going, don’t you have an appointment at Mega University?”

“Huh?  Oh stars and comets yes I do!  Thanks Gloria!”

“See you later Lynn.”

***

Stella materialized on a rooftop back in Megapolis and headed for the University.  Her heart was beating like a drum.  On one hand this appointment could be the chance she’d been waiting for, the chance to lead a normal life!  But what if it was another terrible disappointment?  How could she face it?

The Minx’s directions were as precise as always and Stella was soon knocking on Dr. Corvidae’s window.

“Ack!  You are the famous Ms. Stella ja?”

“Um, yeah, hi.”  The scientist was short and hunched over with protruding pop-eyes and bad breath.  Stella felt nauseous just looking at him, he was so creepy.

“Your friend, herr Minx, she haff explain your problem.   You are wanting me to make the ray of radiation of stellar.”

“…ray of radiation of stellar…”  The girl of the stars repeated along trying to follow his broken English.  “Um, yeah.  I guess.  I mean I just want to be normal for a while, is that so wrong?  Stellar Man used to have this ray that would take our powers away but it got broken when I… I mean, it’s broken and I don’t know how to build one.”

“Vell, I tink I haff juss the ting.  Please to enter the lab yes?”

***

The Minx downed a martini and mixed herself another. Warren poured some mineral water for himself.  An hour ago they’d shot Wes’ remains into the sun and the funeral broke up.  Now they were alone on the satellite.

“So that’s the story… this kid, Blackout, wants me to take her under my wing.  Demands it even.  Can you believe the nerve?”

Warren smiled, “What?  A pushy girl trying to get her idol to notice her?  Demanding she be trained?  I can’t imagine anyone like that.”

“Ouch.  That’s not fair Warren.”

“How old is this Blackout chick?”

“I dunno.  Nineteen, twenty.”

“So, two or three years older than when you started.  And a good five or six years older than when I started.”

“That, that was different!  I didn’t just present myself and expect to be trained, I proved myself!

“Funny Gloria, that’s not how I remember it…”

The Adventures of Night Fox and Ferret!

 

21-3.jpg          21-4.jpg

 

(with special guest star Night Fox Girl!)

 

21-5.jpg

 

It was the year 1964… President Lynden Johnson declared a ‘war on poverty’, the Beatles released their first American album and the Warren Commission announced that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.  And in Megapolis seventeen year old Gloria Barbarossa was having trouble with her new career.

“Come on Night Fox!  I saved you from the Sports Spoilers Gang and from the Green Golfer!  And I caught the Candlestick Maker myself!  You have to train me now!”

“Holy women’s lib!  She’s got a point there Night Fox.”

“Now, now old chum. Crime-fighting is a serious business, it’s not for everyone, certainly not for such a young member of the fairer sex.  Little Miss Night Fox Girl had better be getting home, isn’t this a school night?”

The 17 year old heroine bristled at that.  Despite her young age her photographic memory allowed her to already finish high school and she was halfway to her college degree! 

“But… but…”

But the Crafty Couple were already swinging away.

A tear rolled down Night Fox Girl’s cheek.

***

The next morning…

“Daddy, what do know about Night Fox?”

“Night Fox?”  Commissioner Barbarossa answered.  “No one knows much about him at all.  If we did it would compromise his ability to fight crime.”

“But daddy you’re the police commissioner, surely you must know who he really is or where the Fox Den is.”

“Sorry sweety but I don’t and I don’t want to.  I know that Night Fox is always there when we need him, and that’s enough for me.”

“But daddy-“ Gloria took one look at her father’s face and knew the issue was closed.  “Sorry daddy.”

“I know you’re a fan of Night Fox sweetie but this is serious, no one must ever find out his real identity.  If they did criminals would strike at him when he was unaware.  That’s the crafty crusader is so careful about protecting his identity.  You can be sure the world’s greatest detective doesn’t go around leaving clues.”

“Yes daddy.”  Gloria smiled.  Sure the world’s greatest detective was trying to keep his identity a secret but if she could outsmart him.  Well he’d have to take her seriously then!

***

She did estimates, how much would it cost to build a car like the Fox Mobile or a plane like the Flying Fox?  How much to develop special equipment like Night Fox’s utility belt? 

How many years would it take to train to become the world’s greatest detective?  How long to train your body to the peak of human perfection?  To master the martial arts?  And what sort of man would choose to do all of this?

With all of that in mind young Gloria Barbarossa attacked the city library like a woman possessed.  Newspapers, city records, social registers, nothing escaped her sight.  The librarians were so impressed they offered her a job after graduation.

After all of that she came up with…

No one.

There was simply no one who met all of her criteria.  Sure there were suspects, handsome Detective Gregg Stanley had the skills to be Night Fox but not the wealth.  Besides he was too young.  Daredevil adventurer Ace Armstrong had the money and skills but had died four years back trying to cross the English Channel with a jet pack he designed.  Mystery writer Christopher Angus certainly had the devious mind to be the cunning crusader but was overweight and walked with a cane.  Ace reporter Ken Clarkson was the right age and the right build and a habit of mysterious disappearances but he’d been seen with Night Fox on several occasions.  Millionaire Wes Adams had the money, but he was a well-known wastrel and playboy.

It seemed no matter who she studied there was something to rule them out.  But that was to be expected when matching wits with the world’s greatest detective.

Then she saw it.

She was pouring over old news clippings from Night Fox’s first appearance in the last 30s when she saw Fernando Alfredo at the reference desk returning a pile of books on radball, an Austrian game similar to soccer on bicycles.  An odd subject for Wes Adam’s butler to be reading about, unless of course you knew that a criminal gang riding bicycles used an exploding ball to rob an armored car last week.  She watched him leave and went up to the counter.

“Hey Judy can you help me out, what’s Mr. Alfredo taken out the last few months?”

“Gloria you know library records are private!”

“I know, I know but… keep this a secret but I really think Fernando is cute and I kind of have a think for older men.  I was hoping if I knew what he was interested in…”

The librarian hesitated for a second but she was a woman too and understood these things.  She smiled and opened up Fernando’s file.

“Wow he’s quite the bibliophile.  He must take out a dozen books a week and one everything under the sun.  Radball, log rolling and Jai Alai this week. Last week it was Egyptian treasures and before that medical texts on swamp fever.  Gee Gloria, his tastes are almost as odd as yours.”

“Hmm, yes, they certainly are Judy.  Thanks.”

Gloria’s mind raced as she left.  The sports books corresponded to their recent case with the Sports Spoilers, the books on Egypt were taken out just when Night Fox was investigating the theft of an Egyptian burial mask and the texts on swamp fever matched up to the time of Night Fox’s illness.  It wasn’t proof but it certainly was a lead.

She reviewed what she knew about Wes Adams.  He was a millionaire playboy who slept during the day and partied at night.  He lived alone in his mansion with his ward Warren Herbert and his butler Fernando Alfredo.  Warren was an ex-circus acrobat whose parents were killed just before Ferret the boy wonder began his career.  As for Wes his parents were also killed when he was quite young.  That was why he’d been a prime suspect early on.

The pieces all fit, except of course for the times Wes and Night Fox were seen together.  But surely for the world’s greatest detective that wouldn’t be too hard would it?

But suspicion wasn’t proof.  And if Gloria wanted to impress Night Fox she’d need a lot more.

***

“Oh Miss Barbarossa, this is unexpected.”

“Fernando!  Are Mr. Adams and Mr. Herbert home?”

“No, I’m afraid they were called out of town on um… urgent business.”

The Avenging League of Justice’s battle with the Black Baron no doubt.  Gloria had confirmed they were with the team before driving out here.  Good.  Just as she planned.  She was dressed in her old school uniform, a white button-down shirt and pleated plaid skirt.  Of course she’d been out of high school for two years and the outfit was a bit small on her these days, the skirt barely covered the bottom of her pink panties and she’d tied the tails of the shirt under her breasts.  She smiled up at the tall distinguished-looking Mexican butler.

“Oh that’s such a shame.  I’m doing a project for school about famous houses in Megapolis and stately Adams Manor was on top of the list.  I drove all the way out here on my scooter but I guess I have to go back now…”

“What?  No, I won’t hear of it.  I’m certain Master Adams would be glad to have you look around.”

“If I’m not disturbing you…”

“Nonsense, I welcome your company.  Please let me show you around the manor.”

Gloria spent the next hour wandering the halls of Stately Adams Manor, taking pictures, making notes and asking questions about its rich history.  She also made a big show bending over a lot, climbing on furniture to get a better view and standing uncomfortably close to the Mexican butler.

Finally they passed by his quarters.

“Ooo, can I take a look?”  Without waiting for an answer she ducked into Fernando’s Spartan room. 

“Senorita Barbarossa, I’m afraid this is not part of the-“ She grabbed his tie and pulled him into the room, with a kick of one strong leg she slammed the door.  She pulled him close and kissed deeply.

“Senorita!”

“Mmm, I love older men, they’re so… experienced!”

“This, this is most…”  Gloria unzipped his fly and pulled out his dick, it was already hard.  “Im… im… improper” he whispered. 

She pulled him onto his neat cot, kissing his neck and shoulders while her delicate fingers worked on Fernando’s throbbing dick.  She rubbed her young silky thighs against his member until finally.

“Ah!”  He gasped and his seed spilled out on the white sheets.  He sighed and relaxed and soon he was fast asleep.

Gloria climbed off of him.  The tantric techniques she studied worked perfectly.  Sure there were other ways to put Fernando to sleep but none that would leave so little suspicion in his mind. 

She was glad she’d been able to bring him to climax using only her hands.  She’d never really ‘been’ with a man and this certainly wasn’t how she wanted her first time.

She quickly walked through the halls.  Her photographic memory helped her turn the rooms she saw into a floor plan and her keen analytical mind put them together and identified the gaps.  Some of the gaps were obviously structural columns, laundry chutes and dumbwaiters but there was one.  It was an area almost 10 feet by 10 feet near the library that did not belong to any room.  She faced the wall, it was behind a bookshelf.  But a careful examination of the floor showed odd scruff marks, as if the bookshelf was frequently moved back and forth.  She gave it a push but it didn’t budge.  She felt around it for a switch or lever but found nothing.  Finally she sighed in frustration.  She sat down on the reading table.  She looked at the bust of Shakespeare, “tell me Billy, if you were Night Fox how would you open that door?”  She looked at the bust again.  It was typical bronze piece, the sort of thing you’d expect to see in any rich man’s library.  But there were also some scratches on the neck.  She touched it, the head swung back exposing a red button.       

Gloria smiled and pushed it.

The bookcase slid open exposing two fire poles tagged ‘Night Fox’ and ‘Ferret’. 

Gloria pushed it again and the bookcase slid shut. 

She headed back to Fernando’s room, he should be getting up soon.

***

A week passed and Gloria still wasn’t sure what her next move should be.  Should she confront Night Fox one night on patrol?  Confront Wes Adams?  Sneak into the Fox Den?  Surely it was protected by all sorts of alarms and traps.

She obsessed over it, coming up with countless scenarios and possibilities and rejecting all of them.  It was so frustrating! 

Finally fate took a hand.

"Thanks Foxy, with Night Fox out of town I never would have cracked this case without you."

"No problem Ferret, you know I enjoy working with you.  In fact I've been thinking you and I could work, y'know more closely..."

"Foxy if this is another talk about us training you-"

They were standing on the roof of an old warehouse.  The area was dark and deserted, no one for miles.  The teen girl snuggled close to the 'boy' wonder (now over 30) and put a hand on his shoulder, another on his hip, just brushing his furry jockey shorts. 

She whispered in his ear.  "Who said anything about training big boy?  I just said let's get closer..."  Her gloved hand strayed lower, ruffling the feux fur over his loins.

"Foxy I... we... Night Fox-"

 She kissed him.  He tried to pull away, she pulled him close.  He could feel the heat from her body through her thin costume.  That tight tan costume that left nothing to the imagination. 

"Foxy I..."

Somehow his tunic came undone, he could feel her breasts against his bare muscular chest.  She covered his chest in kisses while her deft fingers worked on his utility belt.  He barely heard it hit the ground.  He felt her fingers inside the waistband of his furry briefs.  Ferret opened his mouth to complain but his words turned into moans as her delicate fingers brushed his burning member.  Moans turned to gasps as her fingers wrapped the shaft.

Gloria licked her lips and dropped quickly to her knees in front of the aging sidekick.  She kissed the tip of his dick and tasted the salty bead of cum.  Her hands went higher, caressing his hairless chest.  She licked the hot dick, sucking on it and stroking it with her tongue, just like those forbidden books in the back of the library taught.

Ferret was muttering something under his breath.  Gloria thought she caught him saying ‘sorry’ but couldn’t be sure.

Finally she felt the member throb in her mouth and quickly jerked away.  A shower of thick cum shot out onto the dirty roof. 

‘Wow’ she thought ‘how long has he been accumulating that load!’  But she said nothing and stood up and kissed Ferret on the cheek. 

“F-Foxy I…”

“Hush Ferret, hush now.”

“But I…”

She reached up and slowly peeled off his domino mask.  The tiny mask didn’t do much to hide his identity and once it was off she was sure.  “Hush Warren, everything’s OK.”

“You, you know!?”  The former boy wonder seemed to be in a state of shock.

“Of course I know.  I mean I am the world’s greatest girl detective aren’t I?”

“But… but… oh my God, Night Fox will freak out!”

“Sssh.  We don’t have to tell him do we?  This can be out little secret.  You and me, partners.  Special partners.”  She hissed the last two words into his ear.

“What?  No!  We can’t!  No!”  He turned to run but tripped over the jockey shorts around his ankles.  He struggled to pull them up and jumped off the side of the building.

Night Fox Girl sighed and rolled her eyes.

“How queer, how can he be so brave against crooks but scared of a girl?”

***

Night Fox Girl drove her scooter into the alleyway behind her home and hit the remote control.  A section of brick wall swung open and she pulled into an old coal cellar.  Gloria had found it a year ago and converted it into her own Foxy Den.

She peeled back her brown leather cowl and shook out her long straight hair.  She unclasped her cape and hung it neatly on a hook.  Her leather gloves and high-heeled boots followed.  Then she took off her utility belt and put on the workbench.  She made a note to restock her smoke bombs.  She unzipped the brown leather miniskirt she wore.  It was entirely superfluous, but she liked the feminine image it added to the costume.

"Not that anyone is going to doubt you're a girl.  Ferret sure won't" she giggled.  She said to the mirror and stuck out her spandex-covered breasts and shook them.  They'd developed quite a bit over the last year, she'd gained two inches and a full cup size and she figured the girls weren't finished yet. Of course 'Gloria Barbarossa' Commissioner Barbarossa's shy little daughter had to hide them under bulky sweaters just like she hid her face behind thick glasses and her hair in a matronly bun.  But 'Night Fox Girl', she could flaunt it!

Gloria reached behind and unzipped her tan bodysuit.  It was just a normal dancer's leotard with a silk-screened fox head on her chest but it did the job.

Now dressed only in her bra and panties she posed in front of the mirror and smiled.

"I did it!"  She exclaimed.  "I landed Ferret!  Next I go for the big bad fox himself."  She sat down on a stool facing her bulletin board.  It was covered by dozens of photos of Wes Adams and Night Fox grinning down at her.  The teen heroine smiled up at him and blew him a kiss.  She pulled up her legs and closed her eyes dreamily.  "Mrs. Gloria Adams..." she muttered and put her hands on her breasts.  "Mrs. Night Fox..." she moaned, slipping a naughty hand between her legs, she squeezed them tight feeling the warmth of her hand against her sex. She rubbed it gently.   "Mmm, take me Night Fox, make me yours, mmm soon, Wes soon...  Yesss..."

Lost in her fantasies Gloria didn't hear the man behind her.

"Mmm touch me there We-"

Her moans were smothered by the chloroform rag over her mouth and nose.  A strong arm wrapped around her small body yanking her off the stool. Consciousness fading she kicked and struggled but her captor held tight.  She felt darkness creeping into her mind.

***

"Ah!"  Night Fox Girl sat bolt upright and screamed.

Memories flooded back.  Her mind raced to catch up.  She was back in her costume, fully dressed, the only thing missing was her utility belt.

She was on some kind of stone platform.  A spotlight high above illuminated her but the rest of the room was pitch black.  Her hands were bound behind her, cuffed, she pulled and found they were chained to a ring in the stone.  She tried wiggling free but the cuffs had no give.

"Don't bother. You won’t get out.  I designed them."  Came a gravely voice from the shadows.  She recognized it instantly, Night Fox.  But not his normal friendly tone, none of the joviality he usually showed as he outfoxed crooks.  No, he was all business.

Gloria was suddenly very scared. 

"Night Fox?  What's going on?"

WHAM!

The blow knocked Gloria off her knees and left her sprawled on the rock, she could feel a bruise forming under her cowl.

"Night Fox I-"

WHAM!

The second blow came from the other side and was just as savage.  The foxy crime-fighter was again knocked on her side.  Her cowl was knocked askew blocking her vision.

"Night Fox what-"

WHAM!

Tears filled her eyes.

"Night Fox please-"

WHAM!

"Night Fox I'm sorry!"

She flinched, waiting for the next blow.  It didn't come. She risked continuing.

"Night Fox I'm sorry!  I'm so, so sorry, I just, just didn't see any other way.  It's just..."  She sobbed.  "I love you so much!"

There.  She said it.  And she meant it too! Couldn't he see it?  She was a teen girl putting on a costume and risking her life every night.  Why?  For justice?  Of course not!  It was for him, all for him!  And he couldn't ignore it now.

She heard his answer, it started small but grew.  That terrible mirthless laugh she'd heard so many times before.  It was the sound of Night Fox gloating over a fallen foe.

"Love me?  You love me?  And that makes it OK?  You think it's that easy Gloria? Just bat your eyes-"

A strong hand grabbed her cowl and it pulled it back exposing her face.  "No!"  She squealed.

"Shake your tits-"

A hand grabbed the front of her costume and pulled.  The thin material and her bra tore loose, Gloria's breasts hung free. 

“And I’d fall for you?!”

WHACK!

He backhanded her across the face and the teen girl sprawled on her back.

Gloria could feel her heart pounding like a kettle drum, she was scared now.  Really, really scared. 

“Did you really think all I wanted was… THIS?!”  Night Fox grabbed the waistband of her skirt and tights and pulled, they came loose easily.  The teen whimpered softly, now dressed only in her cape, boots, and ragged bits of her once-proud costume.

Night Fox stepped into the light.  She gasped.  He too was naked but for his cape and cowl.  Between his legs his shaft protruded nearly 12 inches, aimed directly between her legs!

“Night Fox?”  She asked, her voice breaking in fear.  He couldn’t, we wouldn’t, no!  Not like this!

He roughly pulled her thighs apart and grinned down at the frightened girl.

“Night Fox no!  Please!  I… I’m a virgin…”  She whispered the last part.

He just smirked.  “I know.”  And then he pushed forward, hard.

“AHHH”  Gloria screamed in pain as the thin flesh of her hymen tore.  She felt a thin stream of blood run down her leg.  Hot tears filled her eyes, how could he?  How could he do this to her?

“Like it Gloria?  Not quite what you imagined huh?”

Gloria bit her lip, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. 

“Come on Gloria, let’s hear it, you were all lovey-dovey when you were alone, remember?”

“You-you saw?”  This final violation made her gasp.

“And heard!”  He thrust into her harder.  “Come on, I want to hear some of that, come on you little tramp!  Say it!” 

SMACK!  

He hit her again tanning her cheek bright red.

“I… puh, please Night Fox, h-harder Night Fox.”  She tried to shut out the pain, to remember the pleasure of her own hand between her legs, to make the fantasy of being in Night Fox’s arms replace the painful reality.

“Louder!  Come on Gloria, like you mean it.”

“Night Fox!  Please!  Harder!  Oh God Night Fox!  More!”  She could feel the memories flooding back, she focused her incredible mind on them, on anything but the present.  She could feel her abused body start to respond.

“That’s it Foxy, now you’re getting into it.”  He rammed her harder and mauled her breasts.  Gloria felt her nipples getting hard.  She felt her loins getting warm.  She concentrated harder, remember those long nights in her secret headquarters with nothing but her skilled hands and a few pictures of Night Fox…  She called on all those memories, perfectly preserved in her razor-sharp mind, and her body responded. 

“Uh…”  She moaned.  “Uh, uh…”  She began to gasp.  “Nnnn” she whined.  Her back arched, her toes curled, her hips bucked.  “OH YES!”  She yelled.  Her cry echoed back through the cave and thousands of disturbed bats screeched overhead.

Night Fox finally pulled out.

“Not bad Foxy, not bad at all.”  He reached behind her and unlocked her hands.  She wrapped her arms around his sweaty body.

“Oh Night Fox…”  She reached up and pulled down his cowl exposing the graying hair and ruggedly handsome features of millionaire socialite Wes Adams.  “Oh Wes…”  She kissed him, but he didn’t respond.  “Wes, why?  You know I would do anything for you, why did you-“

He shoved her.  Not too hard but enough to make the exhausted teen tumble to the floor.

“What did you expect?  Judo lessons and forensics tips?  This is serious business Foxy, and we have to play rough.  This isn’t some girlish fantasy, if you want to be part of my team you have to be in complete control of yourself.  Do you think the Jester would be gentle if he caught you?”

“I see..  I think I understand.”  She climbed her feet.  Night Fox grabbed her hair and pulled her close, kissing her roughly.  One hand squeezed her butt.

“Every part of your body had to be a weapon.  Every part!  Even this!”  He cupped her still-wet sex and squeezed.  “Can you do that?  Can you?  Or would you rather go back to your little cellar and finger yourself?”

“No!  Night Fox please!  I’ll do anything you want!  I mean it!”

He looked into her pleading eyes, she didn’t flinch.  Finally he nodded.

“Ferret!  Come here.”

Night Fox’s partner emerged from the darkness of the cave.  How long had he been there?  Gloria wondered biting back fear and humiliation.  How much had he seen?  Like Night Fox he was naked except for his furry cape and domino mask.  And like Night Fox his member was already hard.

Night Fox shoved her towards the aging ‘boy wonder’.  “Show me.”  He commanded.  Gloria stumbled a few steps and looked back at him.  He didn’t really want her to…  did he?  Night Fox took a step back and vanished into the stygian darkness.

“Um, Ferret I-“

SLAP!

“Yeah Foxy?  Got something to say to me?”

“I…”  Gloria fought back tears.  He couldn’t be serious!  He just couldn’t!  Didn’t he understand how she felt?  Didn’t he know?  She looked back into the darkness.  “Night Fox please-“

SLAP!

Anything.  She’d said she would do anything for Night Fox.  Anything.  And he was right, if she was serious about fighting crime she couldn’t expect the villains to worry about her feelings. 

Deep inside Gloria a romantic little girl died.

She wrapped her arms around Ferret.  “Oh Warren, take me!”  She whispered and kissed his neck.  He shoved her against the rock and rammed deep inside her.  Gloria forced her legs around him, somehow she managed a sexy moan.  Desperately she reached for romantic memories.  Something to bring her back into the mood.

Ferret didn’t last long, soon, mercifully he pulled out of her leaving a trail of cum down her legs.

“Good work old chum.”  She heard Night Fox say.  “Now get to bed, tomorrow is a busy day.”

“Yes sir Night Fox.”  She heard the sound of retreating footsteps.  Gloria pulled her filthy cape closer, the cave was cold.

“N-Night Fox?  What should I-“

“Fernando.”  He barked.  The dark-haired butler stepped into the light just behind Gloria.

“What!  NO!”  She yelled.  “Night Fox NO!”

The butler put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around.  He leaned in for a kiss.  He was an old man, Gloria knew a dozen ways she could stop him.  But she had promised she would do anything.

She kissed him.

She unzipped his pants.

She guided his dick into her wet pussy and faked a sigh of contentment.

She did all of this without crying.

Finally he was done with her and vanished into the darkness.  Gloria let out a sob.  All she’d wanted was for Night Fox to love her.  All she wanted was for him to care.

He appeared again, now dressed in full costume.  He wrapped his strong arms around her and pulled her close.

“Good job Gloria.  Well done.”

“R-really sir?  Thank you, thank you…”

She felt him put something around her neck, a small metal pendant, a fox head.

“This pendent contains a small radio receiver.  It will vibrate when I need you.  Call 555-6483 for instructions.”

“Yes sir.  Thank you sir.”

“Good night Gloria.”

“Good n…”  She felt the cloth slip over her nose and mouth, her body went limp.

She awoke hours later in her secret cellar base.  Naked, bruised, filthy.

But there was a new costume hanging from a hook.  The same design as her home-made one but custom fit for her.  It was made from a high-tech nylon fiber that could stop knives and even small-caliber bullets.  A new utility belt was stocked with smoke bombs, a mini-laser and other exotic crime-fighting weapons.  And the fox pendant was still around her neck.

“Wow.”  Was all she could say.

She headed for the shower.

Then she threw up.

***

Back in the present, Gloria looked up at Warren, long-dead memories facing like morning fog.  “He never touched me again you know.  Not once.”

“I know Gloria.  I know.”

“I was Night Fox Girl for another six years and he never even touched me.   He trained me, he sent me on missions but that was all.  Funny.  A lot of people imagined I was sleeping with him every night.  But he never touched me again.”

Ferret nodded.  “It was… I mean… you know how he was.  Always taking and taking and demanding more, but never giving.  He was… he was…”  The middle-aged man sobbed quietly.  “Oh God I loved him so much…”

“I know Warren.  I know.  I wasn’t the only one he hurt.”  She put a tender hand on Warren’s.  They looked into each other’s eyes for a while.  Finally Warren looked away.

“So what am I going to do about this ‘Blackout’ girl?”

“Wait and see if she sleeps with you?”

“Very funny Warren.”

“Honestly, it’s your call.  I mean do you want a partner?”

“I already have a partner, and believe me she’s more then enough to keep me busy.”

“True but she’s not exactly a street-level crime fighter.  And this Blackout girl has a point, Night Shadow trained Wes, Wes trained you and me, there is a tradition to keep up.”

“True, and maybe someday I will train a successor but right now… I’ve got enough on my plate.  I’m just going to have to convince her that no means no.”

“Good luck with that.  As I recall these teen heroines can be hard to discourage.”

“Heh… well I can always tell her how you and Wes initiated me.  If that doesn’t make her run I don’t know what will.”

They got up and headed for the teleporter.

“And what about Stella?  What are you going to do about her?”

“Well we’ll have to see how this scientist I found works out.  If he can’t do the job…  Well…  We’ll see.”

 

 

Afterword

 

This is something I had in mind for some time.  There’s been a lot of stories showing how messed up Stella is and how messed up her upbringing was, during all that time the Minx has been a stable rock.

So I thought it would be neat to show that she’s not much better.

And we still don’t know all the skeletons in her closet yet.

Or Stella’s…

So stay tuned!
