The Mark Seven

 

by Boomer

 

It was two years since the brother's McCoy were convicted of kidnapping Barbara Gorman, and their ABC Garage demolished. General Anesthesia had reluctantly abandoned the underground facility at the gas station, and moved his operation to a nearby lake, where he established a luxury Motel Resort, using it as a disguise for another underground cyber headquarters, built under the lake. When the Foundation for Law and Justice raided the old location two years ago, the only things found were the remnants of an abandoned drug lab and distribution network. Not any sign of spying or terrorism. However, Wonder Lady and her sister, Wonder Lass were never convinced that the secret organization they uncovered were actually gone.

 

Two years later Biddy Birdwell came back to Plainview from her P.I. practice in Charleston to investigate this new Motel. She had never forgotten the helicopter disappearing into the hillside, nor the two super ladies she helped to rescue. No one believed her tales of Aliens and super beings, and kept ridiculing the young Deputy Sheriff, causing her to leave the area and set up a P.I. practice in the Capitol. Now she was back in Clark County, standing in the lobby of  a  new elegant Motel. The cute petite blond walked to the desk. “I have a reservation...Biddy Birdwell.” she said, looking around to admire the luxuriousness, and recalling her time at the dingy garage a few miles away.

 

“Yes Ms. Birdwell, you're in cabin 12...Charles will take your bags, so follow him.” The man directed and then called the Major. “She's arrived.”

 

Later that night, two figures dressed totally in black and wearing black ski masks, picked the lock on the mountain cabin door, entered quietly, and then proceeded across the darkened room. One of them stumbled, when his foot caught the edge of a braided area rug, waking the young   woman in the bedroom from a sound sleep.

“Hello? Is someone there?” She opened the drawer of her nightstand, took out the service revolver, and then slowly moved towards the living room, wearing nothing but a pair of white cotton panties. The room was mostly dark, except for moonlight filtering through the lacy window curtains. “Stop don't move.” Spotting someone in the corner, she raised the nine millimeter automatic, and started towards the dark figure in black. “Take off that mask.” She ordered emphatically. Suddenly two large arms  reached from behind, and wrapped around her body, pinning both arms to her sides. “Hey, NOOO!!” After lettin the pistol drop, she wriggled fiercely within the strong man's grasp.

“Silence the B****” The unseen attacker blurted out, as he held the ex-Deputy tightly just under the two large firm round breasts, with her shapely bare legs flailing wildly in the air, as the big burly man lifted his captive off the floor. Biddy watched the other intruder come from the corner, pouring some liquid from a brown bottle onto a red kerchief with yellow letters SSDD along the edge.

“No..don't do tha..MMMStop..MMMPPHH!” She twisted her head from side to side until the man pressed the kerchief hard against her face, cutting off all the air. “MMMMMMM!” Within a minute Biddy's lungs cried out for relief, so she stopped all movement concentrating on gasping for some of the life giving oxygen. “What do these men want?.....what for heavens sake?” She felt helpless...not able to defend herself against the impending doom. “Ohhh..pleeeezzze...noooo.” Suddenly the pressure against her nose was released, and she gasped, filling her lungs. But instead of pure air she felt the stinging sensation of the pungent sickly sweet fumes passing through her nostrils.

“Now breathe deep and let it work.” The man said while his evil eyes stared into hers.

“It's too.... late...can't..resist..wha...” Her clenched fists relaxed, her legs bent like wet noodles, and the man holding her let Biddy's limp body slowly sink to the floor, where she lay sprawled out and moaning. The last thing she heard was one of the men instructing the other to tie her, and then those deep blue eyes rolled up, letting the darkness overwhelm her senses.

A few minutes later a big black sedan drove into the underground garage of the newly built lodge   that was completed just a couple months ago. Two men dressed in black opened the trunk and peered down at the very attractive blond, who was lying there unconscious, bound and gagged. “Let's get her to the lab.” Carrying the woman between them they entered the elevator and one of the men pushed the big red maintenance button, sending the chamber down instead of up.

 

The next morning a tall brunette entered the lobby and approached the desk. “Good morning, I have a reservation.” She stated to the desk clerk. “The name is Diana Duke.”

“Why yes of course, Ms Duke. The porter will take your bags up to room 310, while you avail yourself of our breakfast bar.” The man replied, as he summoned the young female porter. “I'll let you know when the room is ready, Ms Duke.” He watched the woman swagger into the dinning room, her short skirt drawn tight across the two nicely rounded firm buns, and those two finely sculpted long legs enhanced by the spike high heel shoes. “That's a mighty fine piece.”

“Major Midnight, I think you should take a look at this.” A voice came over the intercom to a handsome young man with a finely honed athletic body dressed in a neatly tailored military uniform. He sat in a soft leather chair in front of the fireplace, reading the morning paper.

“Put it on the monitor, Cecil.” The young man folded his paper, placed it on the end table and then clicked the remote. An image of the front desk instantly appeared, showing the desk clerk staring at something. “That's really interesting Cecil, but I don't think it worthy of interrupting my reading.”

“Let me roll it back.” The voice said, returning the image to show a beautiful brunette dressed in a tight knit sweater, that molded to her two large round mounds, walk up to the desk. “I think it's her, sir.”

Major Midnight paused the image, admiring her endowments, and then went to the desk to open an album. He flipped through the pages, coming to a picture captioned Diana Duke, Aka Wonder Lady. “Yes it is. Good work Cecil.” Thinking about his sudden good fortune, and eying the image of a gorgeous legendary female, the young executive called the desk. “What room is Ms Duke in?” Upon receiving the information, he then asked Cecil to get the General on the phone.

General Anesthesia was at the present time in the Syndicate Headquarters discussing a knotty problem with the Division heads. “Ladies and Gentlemen we seem to have an unexpected problem with the Mark Seven software.” He looked around the large oak table at three men and two women, who were charged with controlling the Syndicate operations within their geographical jurisdictions, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, North America , South America, and Australia.

“Something wrong with the development General?” Lullaby asked from the opposite end of the table.

“We've finished the development stage Number 6. The problem has arisen as a result of our initial test.” He waved to a young woman in a white frock. “I need some more coffee, Kate.” After taking a sip of the hot brew he continued. “The Mark Seven seemed to work perfectly. The State Department records were accessed, and decoded without any apparent detection.”

“That's great news General.” Declared a large bald headed Asian.

“It would be except that one of your own contacts in China reported to Headquarters that someone offered to sell that Government some of the secrets we had just stolen, presumably without anyone knowing about it.” He drank some more of the coffee. “I need something stronger, Kate.”

Another young woman in white entered the room with a phone in her hand. “I'm sorry General, but there's an urgent call from Major Midnight. He says it's really important.” She handed the him the phone.

“Hello Major, this had better be important. I'm in the middle of a meeting.” The General listened intently, then downed the glass of whiskey in one gulp. “I'll get there as fast as I can. Take care of her.” He slammed down the phone, and stood. “Number 7, I want you to check with your contact to see if he has any further information. In the meantime I'll be at SSDD.”

Diana got her key card from the desk clerk, strode over to the elevator, and entered the car with two other men. When they reached the third floor the door slid open, and the men each grabbed an arm, then a third man rushed forward to thrust a wet rag in her face. “MMMPPHHH!!” Wrenching her body from side to side, she tried desperately to loosen the men's grip on her arms, while the other attacker wrapped his arm around the back of her thin waist, crushing her breasts against his chest. Her head was forced backwards, so she was now staring at the fluorescent light in the ceiling. “MMMPPHHH!” Every time Diana hesitated to take a breath, the man jerked her body closer to him, causing an instant gasp, thus inhaling more of the deadly foul smelling fumes.

“Watch it Chuck, she's breaking loose.” Protested the man holding the rag, as Diana yanked her right arm free. “OHHH!” He then felt her knee hit him between the legs, causing him to drop the cloth.

Diana threw a clenched fist at the man holding her other arm, and then stumbled out the still open elevator door. “Ugh..this is a helluva way to greet a guest.” She ran down the hall to where a maid was pushing a cart, but as she passed the woman in white, a foot stuck out tripping the fleeing heroine. After falling face forward onto the plush carpeting, Diana rose to her hands and knees in an attempt at regaining her footing, but a severe pain to the base of her skull stopped that. “UUNNNGGHH!!” Wonder Lady's alter ego was paralyzed for an instant, and stayed motionless with her mouth agape, her eyes bulging and her head tilted back. Then her body collapsed groaning with pain.

“This will help that headache.” The third man bent over the helpless woman in agony, lifted her waist off the floor and then placed the damp cloth over her face. He watched with amusement as Diana made a weak futile effort to pull at the rag.

“MMMMMM” The heroine felt everything go black, and simply hung limply in the man's arms.

“Take her to the lab.” A voice rang in her ears from the darkness.


Mark Seven Part Two

Later that day “There were two of those Super Gals, so where's the other one?” General Anesthesia peered down at Diana's unconscious figure. “How do they change themselves?”

“I'm not certain how they transform, General.” Major Midnight replied. “As for the other one, we're checking on any new residents, and guests. Her photo is being circulated among all our people, so if she's here, we'll find her.”

“I think there's a better way to accomplish both goals.” After explaining his plan, the General took one more long look at the naked female, removed the straps restraining her to the metal table, and then exited with the Major close behind. “When she wakes, perhaps she'll see the need to become a Super Heroine, thus we'll find out how she transforms.”

“Aha, and then the electric door will shock her into submission.” Major Midnight commented on the Generals simple plan. “But what if she escapes through the ventilation duct.” He remembered the report by Colonel Asphyxia about the first time the woman was captured.

“You're thinking is much too direct, Major. I hope she does escape, and then lead us to the other one.” The general laughed as he opened the door to the interrogation room.

Up in the lobby, the desk clerk answered the phone. “No she hasn't.” He then looked through the reservation book. “There's no reservation for a Diana Duke. Yes I'm quite sure.” He then hung up.

On the other end of the phone call, a puzzled Dru also hung up. “That's odd, Diana should have already checked into the lodge.” She then went out on the cabin's small porch, and stared out at the lake. “Somethings gone wrong.” Pondering her next move the young heroine spun in place, producing a brilliant flash of light, which transformed the young woman into the Super Heroine, Wonder Lass. She then sped along the road so fast she was merely an unnoticeable blur, until reaching the rear of the Lodge. “I must check this out personally.” Pressing the red circle in the middle of her golden tiara, Wonder Lass became invisible for the next ten minutes, and walked in the back door, down the long hall past the kitchen, security offices, and the manager's office on the way to the lobby. Then proceeding behind the desk, she perused the registration book. “It's been altered.” Using her exceptionally sharp vision her eyes perceived the erased name of Diana Duke in room 310. “Now to investigate the room.”

While below her, the General and the Major entered the darkened interrogation room, and saw the naked figure of ex-deputy Birdwell bound with her arms behind a wooden chair, with her head bowed, so they could only see the blond curls. “Turn on the lights.” The General suggested as he walked over to the unconscious woman, grabbed a tuft of hair and lifted up the cute little face.

“Uh, uh...uh” Biddy moaned aloud three times when the hand slapped her cheeks. She tried to open her eyes, but they simply fluttered from the effort. Her head flopped back down “Ooohhh..where..am I?” Slurring the question, she was barely audible.

Then the General cupped his hand under her chin to lift up her face once again, but this time he could see two very bloodshot eyes through the small slits Biddy had managed to open. “I need to ask you some questions and you will answer me truthfully.” He reached over to a metal tray containing several small vials and needles. “We'll start with the Sodium Pentathol.”

Biddy heard the words through the clearing haze that was clouding her mind. “Nooooo...pleeezze.   wha..dooo..yooo..owww.” The needle pricked her arm with a sharp pain. “I..uhh..pleeze..” Her eyes glazed over, and she felt a warm sensation flow through her body, until her mind went blank.

“That's good.” He watched as her head flopped backwards, so that she gazed blankly at the ceiling. “Now, sit up straight.” The general watched with amusement as the young woman struggled to obey his command. “That's good. Tell me your name.”

Back in the lab Diana's eyes flickered and then opened. She lay very still on top of the cold metal table, trying to comprehend her situation. “I'm in that lab again.” She peered around slowly, and without realizing she wasn't restrained , sat up on the edge of the table, feeling her aching head. “Never thought they'd move on me so quickly.” Then hoping down she felt her bare feet hit the floor, and became aware of her nakedness. “I need to take care of that.” Spinning in place, she created a flash of light that instantly transformed her into Wonder Lady. Then walking over to the door, she carefully tested the knob. “Doesn't seem to be booby trapped, but it is locked.” That made her feel better that it was not a trap, and with little effort she used her Amazon strength to pull open the door with no apparent consequence.

Lullaby sat in her little sport car, waiting for any sign of the Super Heroine Wonder Lady, and soon her vigil was rewarded, as the heroine emerged from the back door. The lovely, seductive villain in black prepared to follow her prey, but was startled when Wonder Lady took a few steps towards the road and then vanished in a blur of speed. “Wow that was something.”

Wonder Lass turned the knob to room 310, leaned hard against the door, and entered. “She's been here, I can smell her perfume.” Looking around the suite, there was no sign of her sister. “They cleaned up pretty good. Where do you suppose they took her?” She said to herself out loud.

“Why don't we take you to her.” Two burly men dressed in the maroon motel uniforms stepped into the room. “The General thought you might be snooping around.” They moved slowly towards the young super Heroine.

“Why not just tell me where she is?” Using her super speed, Wonder Lass dashed between the two men, and then standing behind them grabbed both their necks. “I asked you politely, where is my sister?” Unfortunately, the heroine didn't notice a third person enter the room behind her, carrying a long metal stick. “AARRGGHHH!!” A sharp pain ripped through her shoulders, causing Wonder Lass to release the two men. “WHA..AARRRRRR!” Another stabbing pain jabbed her in the thigh, and she stumbled forward. Then as she turned to see what was causing the sudden discomfort, a metal rod rammed her forehead, sending an excruciating pain through her brain. “UUNNGGHH!! HELLLLPP!” Her mind went blank momentarily, and she fell to her knees, not realizing her strength had vanished.

“This old cattle prod works wonders.” A short young woman also attired in the maroon motel garb, stood smiling down at the stunned super Heroine. “Think maybe you boys can handle her now?” She said, handing one of them a towel soaked with chloroform.

The dazed and confused Wonder Lass remained on her knees as the big man straddled her back and thrust the damp towel over her face. “WHATHE..MMMMM!” She felt a pleasant sensation flow through her body as the sickly sweet aroma was inhaled into her system. “Mus..resis..uhhh..feels sooo..nice.” There was an instinct telling her she was in danger, but in her confused state...

”How..could..somethin..soooo..good..be bad?” Everyone watched their victim willingly inhale the deadly fumes, and slowly sink into unconsciousness. Her limp body hung there in the man's grip, with her arms dangling loosely at her sides.

“Put her in here.” The pudgy maid rolled a canvas linen cart into the room, and Wonder Lass's sleeping body was tossed into it. “Take her to the General.”

Meanwhile Lullaby watched the blip move along the GPS screen. “Aha, wait there and I wont be very long.” She said to herself when the blip stopped.

The Mark Seven Pt 3

After an hour of intense interrogation the General stood, and ushered the Major from the room. “That woman knows nothing about the Mark Seven.” Frustrated, he rushed down the corridor to the Major's office, where he checked on the status of the prisoner in the lab, and discovered she had escaped as planned. “Where is she now?”

“At a cabin located on the south side of the lake, General... Lullaby is tracking her.” The voice informed him.

“Why has the Foundation sent those two Super Babes here?” He asked the Major a rhetorical question.

“To recheck the area for any signs of.....” He wasn't allowed to finish.

“No,no, they don't know anything about the Mark Seven either, and if they're in the dark?” He paced around the office staring at the ceiling. “There's only one person, who knew about the Mark Seven, and could have stolen the codes, as well as used them. It's been so obvious that I ignored the possibility.....Asphyxia!!!”

“Is he still alive?” The Major looked stunned. “I never mentioned the possibility, because....” Once again he was interrupted.

“Where's Lullaby?” The General knew the answer, and pounded his fist on the desk. “I want two teams at that cabin, and bring me Lullaby.”

“What about the super Heroine?” The Major was confused by the General's change of direction.

“Eliminate her, and get rid of that other one.” Taking a bottle from the liquor cabinet, he took a swig, and threw the bottle into the fireplace. “Lullaby was suppose to take care of him.”

Diana stood on the deck with her hands leaning on the railing, while looking out at the small lake. “Dru must have gone to search for me, when I didn't contact her.” Looking at the sky light up from the setting sun, she wondered what it would be like to be normal and not have the responsibility for fighting these sinister characters.

“A penny for your thoughts.” A female voice rang out behind her. “What are you doing back here?” Lullaby asked, as she slowly walked across the deck.

“Funny, I was just wondering the same thing.” Wonder Lady spun around to face the beautiful villain clad in the the sexy revealing black costume. “But you've really put an end to any doubts I had about being here.” In a flash she was standing behind Lullaby, and was going to wrap her arm around the villain's neck, when the woman turned to face her.

Lullaby stared into Wonder Lady's big blue eyes, momentarily mesmerizing her. “You will come with me.” Her voice had taken on a hypnotizing effect, freezing the heroine in place. “You will relax and let me touch you.”

Wonder Lady put her arms down and was transfixed by the sound of the woman's voice, while staring into those big black pupils. “Can't seem to move...what's happening to me?” Her mind was no longer hers, as it became a blank, unable to think on its own.

The raven haired beauty placed her hand on the heroine's bare right shoulder. “You feel sleepy, and your muscles are becoming very weak.” She watched the familiar sight of her victim's legs start to wobble, and then placed her other hand on Diana's left shoulder, as she slowly sank to her knees. Your eyes will now close, and you will fall into a deep sleep.”

“Sooo..tired..need to go to sleeeep.” There was nothing Wonder Lady could do to resist the feeling of being so tired that she must go to sleep, so she closed her eyes, and felt her body begin to go limp. Suddenly there was a noise behind her that broke the spell.

“Lullaby, step back and turn around.” A man in uniform stepped out onto the terrace, followed by several others. “Please, do as I say.”

“What is this all about?” Releasing Wonder Lady, she watched the heroine fall lazily face forward and lay sprawled out at her feet.

“The General wants you back at the complex immediately.” He replied, and having been warned of the lady's unique abilities, his next words were. “Put her down, fire.” Several shots rang out, sending tranquilizer darts into the beautiful raven haired villain.

“Ow, ow, ow.” She winced from the multiple hits, staggering backwards to the railing. “Dammit, the idiot finally figured it out.” Although stunned by the drug, her unusual metabolism allowed Lullaby to absorb the poison without feeling the total effect, so she toppled over the rail to land on the soft ground below.

Thinking that the woman was unconscious from the tranquilizers, the men were in no hurry to give chase but first checked on the condition of Wonder Lady. “My orders are to dispose of this one. You and Harold weight her down and dump her in the lake.” The Sergent ordered, and then went to get Lullaby. “SHE”S GONE!!” He leaped over the rail, as he ordered “FIND HER!” Instantly all but two of the men disappeared to look for Lullaby.

“This one's a real beauty.” Harold fondled Wonder Lady's breasts as they rolled her over. “Lullaby did a real number on her.”

“Too bad we have to drown her.” The other man drooled over the possibilities that had been presented to them.

“There's a boat down by the lake, so let's tie her up, take her to the middle of the lake and dump her as ordered.” Harold retrieved some rope from the truck, and began the work of securing the unconscious, helpless and alluring young female figure.

Meanwhile, Lullaby had staggered back to her car, and managed to speed away. “Hello, I'm glad you answered.” She spoke into her cell phone. “I've run into a bit of trouble, so we need to act now.” Looking in her rear view mirror, Lullaby saw the headlights of two trucks following . “ I need to get to the rendezvous point.”

Meanwhile, the two men at the cabin lifted Wonder Lady between them. “She's heavier than she looks.” They carried her to the small boat and rowed to the middle of the lake. “OK, throw her in.” There was a small splash as the limp, unconscious female body sank below the surface. “Look there are some bubbles.”

“That won't last long. Let's get back to the others.” Rowing towards the shore, the man regretted not taking advantage of the situation.
