When Vladi Met Kara

by Vladi the Wizard 

Supergirl owned by DC Comics, and Warner. Vladi owned by moi... of course. This is a story about what happened when Harry met Sally.... er, I mean, when the wizard met the superheroine, that led to one of the greatest ... ahhh... love stories (yeah... that's the ticket!) in our genre! Of course, they are from two different worlds, quite literally. Of course, in the story telling I am going to use terms and words and measurements (etc) that you are all familiar with, and not what the various characters would use/say/think, as a way to make things easier for all of use "in the translation". Also, the time frame that I will be using is when I first became aware of Supergirl, which was with Adventure #400, which was published wayyyy back in 1972! (Yup, she gave birth to the pervy old wizard back when he was 11 years old!) I am also putting this in the time frame when Linda Danvers left Stanhope College and moved to San Francisco. And, of course, this is taking place upon a world not exactly our own. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter Fourteen - There's A Train Wreck Coming!

Vladi watched as more golems flew out of the chest of the giant golem below him. To him, the thing seemed to be magical, in principle, but from his observations, it did not appear to actually be magical in practice. He chewed his lip in thought as he paid more attention to the processes that the giant golem was going through, than the actual peril that Supergirl was now facing. There were so many things happening at one time, and he was finding it difficult to keep his mental attentions on any one thing. He decided that he would try to investigate the way that the giant golem was able to make more of the smaller golems from within it later, and that he would pay more attention to his feminine guardian.

Kara, of course, did not know that Vladimire was watching her from his invisible astral state, and even if she did, it would not matter to her as all her attentions at the moment was to defeat the growing number of robots that were facing her. Before the five flying robots got to her, she saw something below her and then dived towards the ground, landing near a number of stacked rail ties and tracks. The heroine picked up a thirty foot track segment, and balanced the twelve hundred pound steel as she lifted up to get some clearance with the rail then threw it like a javelin towards the nearest robot. It was not able to avoid the streaking steel as it punched through it fore to aft, and the robot fell sparking to the ground to impact into dozens of pieces.

Supergirl turned and swooped down to grab another of the long rails, and flew up and away from the four that were closing in on her. She told herself not to concern herself with the green glow at their chests, and to get the job done of destroying them, and she suddenly turned herself around and flew the forward two robots, closing the distance before they could surround her, and using the rail as a lance, drove it into the body of the one to her right, and then swung it towards the other to her left as she soared through the midst of the robots.

The speared robot sparked and slumped into the steel that punctured it, but the second was only given a glancing blow as it darted upwards at the last moment, so that Supergirl only clipped it's stubby legs with it's deceased brother, causing the robot to spin wildly into the distance.

The flying superheroine was larger than the miniature robots, but was quicker and faster than they were, because of their thick stocky build, and that they only had rockets (albeit powerful) in their feet to give them thrust. They also were not as maneuverable as the lithe heroine, who now had only two of the small flying robots to worry about. She suddenly stopped in mid-air and twisted around, and flung the rail at the closest of the robots as it was turning about, and was satisfied by the loud clanging sound as the rotating rail with the impaled robot slammed into it's chest. The two robots twirled down with the rail to splash into the bay, leaving her with one last small robot to deal with.

Matrix-Beta was not standing still and just watching as Vladi the Wizard was, but was flying towards the scene to get itself closer to the action as one by one it's tiny clones were being destroyed by the nubile Kryptonian. It was recording everything that it's clones were experiencing, using such information to make later models of it's clones that much better and more efficient. 

Supergirl was now in a looping and twisting dog-fight with the last of the mini-robots, which was now sending out brilliant green beams from it's chest plate towards the weaving and juking superheroine, who returned her own fire in the way of dual rays of steel melting heat from her eyes.

Kara could not get a good solid bead on the little robot as it's green kryptonite ray was keeping her on the move so that she could not finish off her metal opponent. And, with each passing moment, she knew her odds were lessening as she saw the large robot getting closer. She also knew that the one robot that she had batted away was probably not destroyed, and that the one that was knocked into the bay probably would be back before too long. She dove and turned and looped to avoid the green blasts, but the near misses were still close enough to her for her to feel the draining effect of the kryptonite upon her strength and abilities. 

As Matrix-Beta closed in on the darting Supergirl, it was busy calculating her flight characteristics and her pattern of avoidance. It then activated it's beam weapon, and tho it was not of kryptonite like it's drones, it was still a very powerful beam of concussive energy. 

"GGGGGuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Supergirl cried out as the beam from the Beta's chest plate slammed into her from behind, throwing her off her flight path, and into the glowing green energy beam of the small robot chasing her. The force of the concussive energy was enough to tear her bright red cape into several streamer like pieces, as the alien energy was more than a dozen broadsides of a Missouri class battleship.

"AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," she groaned as the kryptonite energy wracked her lithe form, and sapping her of her power of flight. The stunned superheroine dropped to the ground, to land heavily on the heavily tracked land of the rail yard, with the small robot following close behind her. 

The giant Beta robot directed the other two remaining robots, which had now made it back to the area after being clobbered by Supergirl, to join the other small drone with dehabilitating the stricken superheroine, it's alien computer mind knowing that the best path to her defeat lay with removing her powers via the green kryptonite energy of the drones primary chest weapons.

Kara, now up on her hands and knees, was having a hard time in her attempt to get to her feet, as the small robot hovered over her, and kept the glowing green beam of kryptonic energy shining down on her. 

"Must....oohhhhhhhh... get.... away .... from .... uuuuhhhhhh... here...," she moaned as she looked for a way out of her plight. She was not able to fly at the time, and knew that if she didn't get out of the field of green energy that she soon would not be able to move at all. She saw a number of parked rail cars, and pushed herself forwards towards them, scrambling on her hands and feet and knees. Each foot travelled was harder and more painful than the last, but finally she was able to half dive and half roll under the nearest of the cars, getting herself out of the agonizing beam of kryptonite energy. 

Vladi followed her with his astral form, his heart racing as he watched the drama unfold below him. He was feeling as if he was actually there and involved, but he knew that wasn't really the case with him, but he was having a hard time understanding why he was feeling such an ... excitement. And, he wasn't feeling that way when she was in combat with the golems, but only started to feel that strange beating in his breast when the creatures started to get the upper hand over her in the chaotic three dimensional battle field. 

The Matrix-Beta was joined by the other two smaller droids as it came to a stop in the air over the line of parked railcars. The other beam robot was slowly cruising up and down the line as it searched for the blonde superheroine that had disappeared from it's targeting computers. The robots knew that Supergirl was hiding from them, and the Beta calculated that it was so that she could regain her strength and powers.

The hidden wizard watched as the largest of the golems moved itself to one side of the line of the long metal boxes on wheels, while the three smaller copies of it flew to place them over them. Then from the chest of the giant golem a beam of energy shot out, and slammed into the last metal box of the line of a dozen. Vladi heard the metal protesting as the box was crushed as it was lifted and tossed off the ground where it was resting on the metal rails. Supergirl was not there. The golems then moved to the next metal box, and another beam of power was shot from the giant golem's chest, and that car was hammered off the rails to land in a smoldering heap a hundred yards away. 

Again, no Supergirl. 

Kara crawled as fast as she could along under the cars as she heard one after another being blasted off the tracks behind her. She was still very weak from the earlier blasting that she had taken, but was feeling better as the steel of the cars was between her and the flying robots. She thought for a moment about tunneling to gain her time, but didn't feel that she had the ability to develop the spinning speed and thrust needed to get herself very far. No, at this time it meant to crawl to gain time. And, as car after car was being knocked away and wrecked, she knew that her time was rapidly running out.

Chapter Fifteen - Supergirl Is Secured For Delivery

Supergirl's time ran out when the Matrix-Beta robot quickly blasted two railcars off the tracks, one after the other, the first displaying her red boots as she scurried up under the car before it, then that car was soon knocked off the tracks to reveal the svelte heroine in her torn up cape before them. Now, instead of one drone with a kryptonite projector in it's chest, she faced three of them, and they did not waste any time in catching her in three of the emerald green rays.

Vladi watched from his invisible state wide mouthed and google eyed at the drama unfolding on the ground below him. Supergirl arched and twisted and tossed on the rail tracks as the glowing green beams wracked her body. The three smaller robots situated themselves equal distance apart in a hover over the writhing superheroine to keep her bathed equally from her left shoulder, her right shoulder, and from her feet. The Matrix-Beta slowly moved over the smaller drones until it was floating just over the groaning heroine with the goal of assuring her defeat. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh," Supergirl cried out as the concussive blast ray from the Beta's chest slammed into her from above. The blow was particularly devastating since she was weakened from the three kryptonite rays from the robot's drones. The blast lifted her completely off the ground and flipped her about, holes being blasted from the force into her blue body dress. 

Again and again the giant robot blasted the helpless Supergirl with it's powerful chest weapon, blasting more pieces of red and blue away from her uniform and displaying more and more of her lithe body. The astral wizard watched as her cape was blasted away as she contorted on the rough ground below him. There was nothing he could do to help her, and indeed, at this time, he didn't want to, even if he could. He didn't really think much on the strangeness on why he wouldn't help her, if possible, because the of the way that the dance that she was performing under the golems relentless attacks was mesmerizing to him. 

Kara bucked and arched and thrashed under the kryptonite beams. Each second seemed like an eternity to her, an eternity of green pain and terrible draining weakness. Time and time and time again she was reminded of what invulnerability was protecting her from as she was hammered relentlessly from the large robot's horrible concussive beams, which tore and ripped groans and cries from her just as they tore and ripped her once proud costume.

"Uuuhhhhhhh aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," the hapless heroine moaned as she was made weaker and weaker by the ongoing kryptonite onslaught. Each concussive blast shredded her costume moved her closer and closer to unconsciousness, and she knew that unless someone came to help her very soon, she would be defeated by the merciless robots. 

Vladi floated as close as he could to watch the affair unfold with a perverse fascination. He wasn't worried about getting too close and getting in the way, as much as he didn't want to get too close where he would miss something on the outskirts of the action. So, he floated just far enough off the ground to keep all the golems in view, while watching Supergirl writhe and twist slowly below. His heart was racing as he saw more and more of her spectacular body being bared by the horrible blasts that blew apart more and more of her costume. Her long red gloves where just a few strands of material that barely held onto her forearms and a few fingers. Her thigh high red boots were in a little bit better condition because they were leather, but they were also starting to fall apart at the seems and revealing more and more of her long muscular thighs and calves. Her blue dress like tunic was badly damaged, so that one perfect breast was revealed, as were her abs of her remarkably flat and perfect stomach. The wizard felt a tingling flowing through him, and knew that if he was in corporal form, he would be sporting a gigantic erection.

The Matrix-Beta stopped his concussive attacks on the near unconscious superheroine, and launched another pair of drones from it's robot factory within it's chest, which flew down to join the other three drones. However, these small robots were not duplicates of the kryptonite energy shooting drones, but were made for a different purpose. The others were made to depower and defeat Supergirl, these were made to capture and restrain the Kryptonian superheroine. They were of the same size as their brothers, and looked similar, but these had two sets of arms to go along with their rocket footed legs. One set of arms ended with gripping 'hands', while the second set of arms ended with pinchers as well as special metal extruders.

"Nooooo..... uuhhhhh.... wha... what is... going on??" the dazed superheroine gasped as she was grabbed by one of the new robots at her shoulders and lifted up into the air. The robot was behind her and easily controlled her by holding onto her upper arms. The three beam projecting drones took up positions to either side of the weakly writhing Supergirl, with the third positioning in front of her to keep her caught in the midst of the three intersecting kryptonite rays. The second binder robot then came up from underneath and took ahold of her ankles, so that she was now held helplessly by the two robots in mid-air.

"Uuuuughhhhh... No... oohhhh... stop... can't.... get... uuuhhhhh... free..." Supergirl tried to keep her wits about her, but she was feeling so very weak. The kryptonite rays seemed to be lessening in their intensity now that she was being held above the ground, but she did not have near the amount of strength needed to do anything more than squirm. She was glad that she was in the middle of a mostly abandoned work area in the middle of the night so that no one could see her, since the robots holding her with one set of hands were removing the remains of her damaged costume with their other arms, using sharp pinchers to cut away the rest of her red gloves and boots, and what little was left of her blue tunic, leaving her only in a pair of red bikini panties.

Vladi moved in closer, as he saw Supergirl stripped to nothing but a pair of tiny bottoms. His heart was beating harder in his non-corporeal chest as he stared at the blonde superheroine as she slowly squirmed in the firm hold of the golems metal hands. He was recognizing that the green energy from the chest of the flying golems was making Supergirl weak, and could see how her energy signature was greatly reduced under the strange green power from the golems. It was fascinating to him, how someone so powerful on this planet could be so weakened. But the thing that was most fascinating to him was that the whole scenario was arousing him greatly.

The wizard's arousal grew when he saw the golem hold Supergirl's upper body use it's second set of arms to pull her arms behind her back, and pressed her wrists together. Then, from extruders between the pinchers came out a strand of metal strapping, which it wrapped around her wrists. The strapping was then welded together to form a single band around the Kryptonians wrists, the pinchers having a bright sparking coming from one of the tips to melt the metal together. The golem then finished off by using it's razor sharp pincher to trim off the end of the remaining strap to make the restraining band neat and clean.

"uuuhhhhhhh.... no.... aaaaaaahhhhhhh... stopp.... so... uhhhh.... tight...," Kara groaned as she felt the heat at her wrists by the welding of the metal strap to create a unbreakable metal band. She was finding it so very hard to keep her eyes open, let alone trying to look around her to try to figure out her situation. She felt another band going around her ankles, and then the brief heat through the metal as that robot welded the strap and snipped off the end of the metal to make a solid band around her ankles. At least she gave herself the comfort that if they were binding her, then they were making a point of capturing her, and not killing her outright. With the kryptonite and kinetic attacks that she had been put through, it would of been all too easy for the robots to kill her. But, now she wondered what lay ahead for her. However, she was finding it hard to think too far ahead as more pain came to her as she felt bands going around her legs above her knees, as another band was looped around her arms, then tightened above her elbows to pull them tightly together. 

"AAaaaaauuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Supergirl groaned as Vladi saw her elbows and knees being bound tightly together. Though he was in spirit form, he was feeling a great sense of physical discomfort from within as he was getting more and more sexually excited by the superheroine's plight. He was familiar with restraints and captivity from earlier times and places, but those were cases of holding others in place, so that they could not escape a coming judgement. However, at no time till now had he been so dramatically impacted by bondage. He didn't consider the implications or the whys or wherefores of the new feelings, only that they existed. Supergirl being captured and weakened and bound was stimulating him like nothing has in decades... centuries even! 

Matrix-Beta directed the binding of Supergirl. The straps were of thin steel that the drones were able to expel from within them, much like it expelled copies of itself. The miniature helpers had the lithe form of the superheroine well in hand, and though the straps were not of kryptonite as it's programing gave the highest priority to, the steel was more than strong enough to restrain her in her weakened state... as long as the projector drones kept her within their kryptontic energy field. The Beta's computer brain, however, was still working on contacting its owner to give it a destination on where to transport its captive, so it calculated that a secondary site would be needed to keep Supergirl at while it awaited further instructions with her disposition.

"Uuhhhhh.... ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... so.... tight.... ooohhhhhh...," Kara moaned as she was bathed in the emerald green rays of the trio of robots surrounding her as she felt more bands being placed around her body. She didn't think that anything more was needed to keep her helpless, but it was obvious that the robots were not taking any chances with the superheroine as a new band was put around her long legs at mid-thigh, as another band went around her upper body, just above her firm jutting breasts, to lock her arms tightly against her torso. She gasped as the robot then fastened a final strap around her waist, pulling the steel in tightly so that she sucked her stomach in as much as she could before it welded the strap to make a band that held her arms tightly to her back. Now it was hard for her to get a good breath after all this straining and exertion from the kryptonite, which was only making her weaker.

The Beta then flew over and took ahold of Supergirl by her ankles in one of it's massive metal hands, and the helpless heroine was held dangling upside down over the train tracks while the two binding drones went back into the chest cavity of their giant master, to be broken down and recycled by the internal factory for whatever the Matrix-Beta had need for later.

Vladi saw that the giant golem was now flying off with the near naked Supergirl and was about to follow when he felt a sudden internal pulling against him.

Chapter Sixteen - Vladi Saves The Day

"Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!," Vladi cried out as he jerked awake, and sat up quickly as he came awake in the hospital. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and he quickly lay back down again to regain his senses, taking in the sights and sounds of the strange environment that he found himself in. There were a number of tubes and wires that ran from to machines which flashed and beeped at him, and he removed the needles from his arm and groin and the item clamped over his finger, which caused the machines to clammer even louder. 

The room had a strange smell, and was fairly dark, though a bright light shone in from an open doorway. He saw that there was a window and that from view outside that the sun was making its presence known as it started to rise up against the eastern horizon. The view was much different now that he was in his physical form, and he was not able to see the various energies that he had been viewing just moments before while in his astral form. 

He sat up again, slower this time, and pulled the light coverings off him, to see that he had been reclothed in some strange tunic which was completely open in the back, except where it was closed with a few ties. He felt a wetness against him and looked down and saw that he was bleeding from where he pulled out the thickest of the needles, and absentmindedly cast a minor spell of healing upon himself, closing up the wound immediately. 

"Mister Meyer! You're up!! You're not supposed to be up!" a woman dressed in a light green smock and matching pants stated with some alarm as she barged into the room, and took quick note of the protesting machines and that her patient was now standing up and out of the bed after being in a coma for so long. "I mean, it's good that you are awake! But, you really have to lay back down so I can have the doctor look at you," the girl quickly said as she took ahold of Vladi's nearest arm and tried to sit him back down onto the hospital bed. He took in what she said and determined from her actions that she would be a nurse, who were skilled assistants of the doctors who were the primary healers of this world.

"No, I am fine, thank you, Nurse," the wizard answered as he gently took his arm away from the nurse and started towards the doorway. His language skills were now set to his environment and he was able to converse readily with those around him. He knew he still had much to learn about this world, but as it was now, he was more than ready to face it with his skills and knowledge as a wizard. 

First off he needed to get some better clothes on him, as he was feeling quite the 'draft' from his rear, so he conjured himself up a set of clothes to replace his hospital gown. The nurse yelped and jumped away from him, knocking over a metal stand that held a number of plastic bags with tubes running from them. The wizard was now dressed in all black, from tall leather boots over the legs of black pants, a black long sleeve shirt with an open shirt, and a black jacket over that. He quickly patted the various pockets to make sure that they were filled with his normal accruements for mage craft. He ignored the nurse as he stalked out of the hospital room and into a hallway that led to more of the same type of rooms that he was in. 

Vladi heard the nurse calling for a Mister Meyer again, and finally figured out that they though his name was Meyer. He had no idea why they would think that, and put that away from his mind as he put his thoughts to locating Supergirl. He brought up a dimensional door of blue spinning energy before him and stepped through before medical personnel could converge on him, and they were shocked into stunned disbelief as the roiling vortex of energy "popped" closed behind the mysterious Mr. Meyer. 

Vladi stepped out of the other end of the doorway, and onto the hospital's roof, where he had a much better look of the city that was just starting to be greeted by the morning sun.  But, he knew that right now, he needed different eyes to see with, eyes that would better see the lines of the various energies that flowed over and around and through the city of San Francisco, much like the vision that he was awarded by the planet when he first came to this dimension. He closed his eyes and concentrated his inner-self to reconnect with that ability, and before long he felt a tingling in his eyes, and he opened them to see that he was rewarded once again with that special sight.

The mage slowly looked around for the major landmarks that he had seen from his astral journey, and when he had determined the correct bearing to his last location, started to concentrate his vision on the energy pathways and signatures. Normally, Supergirl would stand out quite prominently because of her great power, but now that she was weakened by that other energy that he had seen the golems use, he would have to look for that energy source, instead of hers.

Though he was above ground level on the roof of Saint Mary's hospital, he knew that he had to get higher, so he cast upon himself a spell of levitation and rose slowly skyward. It was easier to hold such a spell than a flight spell when he was concentrating on finding a particular energy output in a sea of energy that came from people and vehicles, power plants and generators, electrical devices and power lines. Plus, it was easier to see over the mass of tall buildings that blocked his vision across the San Francisco Bay, where he had last seen the battle between the glorious superheroine vision and the blocky ugly metallic golems.

He concentrated on focusing more on the area of the construction to the east and south of his location, in the area of the Bay Farm Island, where he recalled was a place where flying machines had gone to and from as being a place that he recalled from his astral flight. He then was able to pick out residual pieces of energy left over from the battle that took place a bit south and east of the landmark, and willed himself to begin to slowly start to move in that direction, as he tried to follow the pieces of energy to where Supergirl, or the golems could be, for he knew that where the golems where, Supergirl was sure to be, as well, as their captive.

The city was still much asleep, though there were a few vehicles that were starting to move about on the roads and water and airways of San Francisco as those that provided services to the populace started to make their ways to their jobs before the majority of the citizens got out of bed. Bleary sleep filled eyes were more concerned with the path before them than to the man in black that slowly moved across the sky across The Bay towards the rising sun.

Meanwhile, the Matrix-Beta had found a building that showed little recent human activity, and after easily making a hole in the warehouse's roof, it flew down with it's bound prisoner to land on a wide open space within the dimly lit and dusty building. The three drones followed soon after, quickly taking place around the giant robot to keep Supergirl in the midst of their green energy rays. The Beta robot saw a dangling chain with a hook at one end descending from a pulley nearby, and moved to attach the heroines banded ankles to the ready hook, to leave the beautiful Kryptonian suspended upside down from the warehouses ceiling, twelve feet above the grime covered concrete floor. 

The giant robot had been unsuccessful in it's attempts to make contact with it's makers, and determined that it would have to gain more altitude for it's antennae to get a better signal. Thus it's computer brain made the decision to launch into space to get itself out of the Earth's magnetic field, and thus better able to send and receive messages. It then launched itself out of the warehouse and into the morning sky, and aimed itself towards space, leaving the three smaller drones to keep the captive Supergirl within their fields of kryptontic energy.

The search wizard spotted a flow of energy that was not similar to the normal flows of energy, in that while the normal flows of energy were horizontal along the Earths various byways, this flow was vertical. And, that it was close by to where he had last seen the golems he willed himself to move in that direction to get a better look at it's source. The energy flow was fairly recent, but not an active one, but he could tell, as he got closer to the trail, that it was indeed made by the largest of the golems, his eye for such energies much like the nose of a bloodhound. 

He soon saw a building below with a large hole torn in it's metal roof, and from the heat signature still radiating from the rended edges, could tell that the hole was fairly recently made. He moved his way to the roof and slowly lowered himself down onto it, and then carefully looked over the edge into the darkness below. Of course, to his glowing silver eyes, the darkness did not hinder his vision at all, and he was able to see that his search was over, for below him was Supergirl hanging from a chain and surrounded by the three golems with the glowing chests that kept her in their green lights. 

Vladi straightened himself back up after getting a good look of the large room under him, and dispelled the levitation from his form. He kept his mystic vision in place, as he figured that it would better serve him once he was within the darkened building with the three golems, and better able to face them if he was better able to see them, though his native half-elven vision was sharper than human's normal realm of sight.

The wizard sat down cross legged on the roof top next to the hole and closed his eyes to meditate for a few moments, to gather up his energies and to ready his mind for combat. He was a battle mage, and skilled in magical as well as martial techniques of warfare. Thus, he knew that it was always best to prepare for battle, if battle could not be avoided. He didn't think that he would be able to avoid battle, since the golems would most undoubtedly be ready to stop anyone from rescuing their charge. He had a good idea of what he would do, as he had faced golems a number of times in the past, and that he would be able to used their metallic nature against them.

The battle was quick, brutal, and a bit anti-climatic. The tightly bound and near-unconscious Supergirl found herself looking at a ball of blue energy, which quickly widened and flattened out, and from within a figure in black stepped out. The robots surrounding her paid no attention to the newcomer until it was too late for them, as the man said something and a bolt of fire shot from his right hand and blasted through one of the robots and turned it into a smoldering mass of slag, while the other two robots were picked up from the floor and slammed into each other with massive force, causing them to blast apart into hundreds of pieces. Supergirl felt a relieving surge of strength almost immediately as the three kryptonite rays that bathed her form were snuffed out.

Chapter Seventeen - Gifts and Gratitude

"Oohhhhh... thank...Krypton...." Supergirl moaned with relief as the affects of the kryptonite lights upon her stopped. She could still feel that there was some kryptonite still near by, as the two glowing green discs from within the robots were now scattered on the ground, as were the rest of the pieces of the destroyed robots. She was still weak from the radiations, and knew that she would need a bit more recovery before she was able to burst her bonds, so just concentrated on becoming aware of her surroundings, and her rescuer, who she saw was now approaching her.

Vladi made his way towards the suspended superheroine, pausing only to pick up the two pieces of glowing green stones that had been blasted out of the metal bodies of the two golems that he had caused to suddenly and dramatically join each other in strong massive magnetic attraction. He didn't know when the giant golem would return, or if it would feel the destruction of it's smaller 'children' that it had birthed from it's chest. He suspected that it would be aware, as he was aware of his own mystical constructions, as they always had a little piece of his own self within when being made.

The mage put the glowing green discs into one of his jacket pockets, and the radiation from them ceased to reach the helpless superheroine, as the pockets were mystical in nature, and the kryptonite was actually placed into tiny dimensional pockets, so they were no longer on the same plane as Supergirl.

"What the... Who are you?" Supergirl shivered as the man came closer, not because of her near naked state, but because of the eeriness of this eyes, which came out first from the gloom, as they were glowing silver orbs.

"Oh, my apologies, Supergirl. Here, let me make things a bit more light here for us," the mage spoke as he closed his eyes to will his eyes back to normal, while speaking a spell of illumination, and a small ball of glowing energy materialized above his head to brighten the area for about twelve feet around him.

Kara gasped in surprise, first by the lovely tone of the strange sing-song that came from the man before her, then by the light that appeared to float over his head, to then show her that her rescuer was none other than the mysterious Mister Meyer, who she had caught falling from the heavens those many long weeks ago.

"Mister Meyer?!?" she asked, surprised to see him up and walking when the last time she had seen him was in Saint Mary's hospital in a nearly two month long coma. And, not only up and walking, but with as much power as to destroy three robots within mere seconds with hardly any trouble. Three robots of the type that gave her a very hard battle and had actually defeated and captured her in the end.

"Actually, no, my name is not Meyer, my dear Supergirl, but VladiMIRE," the mage corrected her, as he motioned up at the chain that she was dangling from, causing a number of the steel links to soften and thus stretch like rubber, so that she was slowly lowered to the ground. 

"But, you can call me Vladi," he continued as he carefully took ahold of her shoulders and guided her to the ground, as politely as he could, laying her upon her side so that she was facing away from him, knowing that these humans were not very comfortable with their skins, needing to wear much clothing when around others of their kind.

"Oh, thank you, Vladi. But, you have to know, that there is another of those robots out there, and he is lots bigger! Be careful!" Supergirl warned, very aware now of how gallantly gentle the handsome man in black was being with her, realizing how she must look as being near naked but for a pair of small tight panties, and tightly and helplessly bound.

"A robot? Ah yes. I understand that term now. I thought it was a golem. It has left the area into the sky not long ago. I think to your space over your world. I do not think it will return soon, but we should be leaving this place quickly, just in case, no?"

"That sounds like a good idea. Now, how are you going to free me? These are steel straps that have been welded together and are very strong... ohhhh...," Supergirl gasped with sudden relief as one after the other the bands disappeared from her body at the touch of Vladi's finger. There was a sudden warmth and then a soft pop as each strap was dispelled, wrists then elbows then shoulders and waist.

"Ohhhh... that feels... so much better," Kara sighed with gratefulness as the bands at her ankles, knees and thighs then soon followed into nothingness, leaving the blonde superheroine finally free. 

"Now, I know that your clothes have been destroyed," the mage stated as he helped the still weakened damsel to her feet, "but, I think I will be able to make you a new costume for you, if you will allow me?" 

"Sure, knock yourself out, handsome," Supergirl smiled to Vladi as she felt her strength returning, but still accepted his help in standing and holding herself up to her feet. She was not ashamed of her body, nor as prudent as most of those in this American society that she found herself defending, so did not try to hide herself to the mans very approving looks, though she could tell that he was doing his best not to be too blatant with his visual attentions. 

"Knock myself out...?" Vladi asked, as he searched his memory for that reference. He had recalled hearing it on a number of times in the entertainment shows from the television that was on in his hospital room, being used as a casual way to give permission. He smiled and nodded his understanding and closed his eyes to visualize what he would do.

Holding Supergirl's elbow with his left hand, he used his right hand to gather up the energies that he would need, taking ahold of the energies of the dispelled steel bands as a means to make the Girl of Steels new costume. He visualized the type of clothes that many of the younger women wore around San Francisco that he thought were especially fetching to him.

Kara again found herself mesmerized by the man's voice, and realized that he was casting a magic spell. Her savior was a magic user, and that caused a strange tremor to wash through her at that realization. She wondered if this Vladimire knew that her only other weakness, besides kryptonite was magic! She would be defenseless against this man's magical abilities if he meant her harm, but she was gratified that he was there to help her, and chided herself for her momentary lapse into fearful disquiet.

"Vladi!!!" she suddenly called out as she felt a strange sensation rush up and about her body, and looked down to see her feet clad in red shoes, much like slippers with fashionable balls around the ankles. She saw, and felt, that she was now wearing a pair of very short and daring red shorts, which really didn't need the yellow belt to keep them attached to her hips. Her bright blue eyes then went to the brilliantly blue shirt that snuggly held her form from shoulders to waist before being tucked into the shorts, but with puffy loose sleeves which were closed with golden yellow buttons at the blue cuffs, buttons which matched the golden belt buckle of a stylish "S" at the front of her shorts. A small but obvious red and yellow "S" emblem of her families crest adorned her left breast, while she felt more than saw, that there was a larger emblem in the middle of the red cape which was attached to her shoulders to flow behind her, the end just touching the backs of her thighs below the bottom of her short shorts.

"Tell me what you think. I can form you something else if you disapprove of this garment." The wizard then motioned before them, and the air solidified and took on a reflective nature, to form a floating mirror that the dazzled superheroine could look at herself within.

Kara was feeling much better and she was recovering her strength rapidly. She could feel the powers of her abilities starting to come back, but she was more concerned about the vision that she saw before her in the strange floating mirror.

"Vladi! It's... wonderful!!" she gushed as she slowly turned one way then the other, then did a quick spin so that her cape flowed out behind her to reveal her toned round ass, that was so perfectly fitted by the shorts.

The mage slowly stepped back, to get Supergirl room to pose herself before the floating mirror, smiling at the girl's joy which was so abundant. It was a great thing to see after not too long ago her look of pain and weakness from the strange green energy. A slight frown crossed his features as he felt the stirring within him rise up a moment as he recalled her bound and helpless form. He quickly pushed that away as he looked back to the superheroine as she looked at her cape through the reflection of the mirror, before running her hands along her sides and hips.

"And it feels so... smooth and ... unlike anything I have ever felt before! How did you do it??" she asked the wizard, stopping her posing before the mirror to look straight at the man before her. She saw again those intensely pale blue eyes looking at her with a look that she didn't often see. The look of how a man looked at a woman. It was disconcerting a bit to her, as she often only saw looks of amazement or lust or fear, or the combinations of all three. The way a mortal would look at a goddess. But this man, did not look at her as a being greater than him, or even lesser than him, as some of her foes had done on occasion. No, he looked at her with a gaze that was curious and open, the look of someone that was looking for more. That was seeking something deeper. And, as it came from the eyes of a very powerful being, who she was finding herself more and more attracted to. Kara was realizing that this was a man that was not afraid of her, in the least, and that was starting to make her feel very nervous.

"Oh, by magic, of course my dear!" he answered with a broad smile and then gave her a deep bow with a flourish, finishing up by taking her right hand and bringing her knuckles to his lips in the finish, "but, no where near as magical as you are to me!"

Kara blinked several times, caught by surprise by the sudden movement which caught her entirely off guard. She blushed and brought up her left hand to cover her lips as they went into a large embarrassed grin. She had been complimented before, many many times, and even had others kiss her hand in much the same gallant manner. But, never had she felt a tingling course through her veins as when Vladi's lips touched her skin.

Her heart started to race in a new manner as she felt a heat starting to build in her loins. It was too fast, too soon, and it was timing itself with her growing powers and abilities. A panic started to set in as she was finding herself no longer in control. Sure, she was not in control when she was bound and helpless by the robots, but this was different. Before it was her body that was captive, now she was afraid that it was her heart that would soon be a captive to this strange and mysterious Vladimire. She didn't want that, didn't need that, as she already was in a relationship with her boss at the San Franciscan television station KSF-TV, Geoffrey Anderson. Was he casting a spell on her??

"Than... thank you, Vladi... Thank you for... for everything!! But... but... I have to go. My... My people... they need me," Supergirl stammered as she slowly took her hand back from the dashing man in black, his pale eyes seeming to glow from his dark features, as he slowly straightened up and took a step back, understanding that look that she was giving him, a look that he had seen quite often in the eyes of people who did not understand magic and were afraid of it. He wanted her to know that there was nothing to fear from him, and almost told her that when something stopped the words from emerging from his mouth. Vladimire had always strove for honesty, because words had to be true when given by a mage, since words were so important for magical spells. Thus, wizards may stretch the truth, or avoid the truth, but in the end, they always told the truth. At least, as long as they wanted their powers to remain pure and powerful and under their control. And, he suddenly had a feeling deep within himself, seeing the way that she looked at him, knowing the way he felt when he had seen her powerless and helpless, that he so wanted to see her thus like that again, only this time under his control.

"Certainly, my dear. I understand. You must be off. But, be assured that we will meet again," he promised her with another bow, this time towards the rising figure as Supergirl felt her flight powers taking ahold of her before she really wanted them to, as she took off into the morning sky, fleeing the attraction that was filling her with such strange dread.

The wizard watched her as she disappeared from sight through the hole in the building's roof, his right hand back into the dimensional pocket, fingering the strange green discs.

"Of that I promise," he whispered to himself, which was heard by the super-hearing of Supergirl as she fled towards downtown San Francisco in her daring new costume.
