One of the guys went down with a thunk and Shadow Wing turned to me again.
"I said run!"
Even more interesting. That voice was decidedly feminine. Sure she was trying to cover it up by making it sound of sort of deep and a tad gravelly, but there was no mistaking that this wasn’t a dude standing in front of me beating the crap out of those criminals. I wondered if the cover-up was intentional? Most of the criminals seemed to agree that the Wing was the scariest dude in the city other than Fialux. And Night Terror, of course, if you'll allow me to toot my own horn. Perhaps she worried they wouldn't take her seriously if they knew she was a woman?
Which was ridiculous. The biggest villain in the city, yours truly again thank you very much, was a woman. The biggest hero in the city was a woman now that Fialux was flitting around causing trouble for the criminal element trying to make a dishonest buck. Starlight City was pretty equal opportunity when it came to heroics and villainy.
Or maybe it was something simpler than that. Maybe it was a criminal conspiracy. Maybe the hardened criminals who got the shit kicked out of them and ended up in jail were afraid to admit that they'd all gotten beaten by a girl.
The final thug broke free from Shadow Wing and ran towards me screaming with a tire iron raised over his head. I realized it was my buddy who was threatening me at the beginning. He’d somehow managed to last until the very end, not that it was going to help him very much. Maybe he figured if he was going to get the crap kicked out of him then at least he was going to take me with him. Shadow Wing turned and followed at a sprint, but it was obvious she wasn't going to make it in time. His snarl turned to a wide smile.
"Damn it! Run!" Shadow Wing shouted.
I let him get within two steps of me before I hit a button on my wrist control and my disguise was teleported a few feet to the right revealing my Night Terror suit underneath. As my disguise dematerialized one of the matter transporters in my belt materialized my trusty mask over my face and the HUD sprang to life feeding me the information I craved in situations like this. I just hoped it was dark enough that the Wing hadn't gotten a good look at me while she was fighting off the thugs.
A girl’s secret identity was a big deal.
The head thug skidded to a halt and if anything the look of terror on his face when he thought he was just dealing with Shadow Wing turned to one of pure abject horror when he realized he'd just tried to mug Night Terror. I grinned and waggled my fingers at him in a friendly wave.
"That's right buddy," I said. "You and your friends picked the wrong alley to go robbing in."
He turned and ran in the other direction. Unfortunately Shadow Wing's fist was also waiting for him in that direction. There was a loud crack followed by a grunt and he slammed to the ground.
Shadow Wing knelt in the darkness and looked up at me, her eyes glowing slightly. Must be some sort of night vision device she was using. I had similar toys, although mine didn't make that pesky glow. I wasn't sure if that was an aesthetic choice on her part, or if she just didn't have access to some of the more advanced toys I enjoyed. Probably the latter.
"Night Terror."
I sketched a little bow. "None other than."
"I don't know what you're doing with these thugs," Shadow Wing said. "But I'm going to haul all of you in and find out."
"No need to pull the tough girl routine," I said.
Those glowing eyes narrowed. Now that was an interesting trick. How did she manage to pull that one off? There was no rational explanation for how the infrared illuminators on a pair of night vision goggles would narrow like that. Maybe it was a special modification? The Wing was supposed to have the most wonderful toys.
"I'll tell you exactly what I was doing here. I was fishing for a hero."
Shadow Wing stood and brushed a speck of dirt off of her suit. "Fishing for a hero?"
"Sure," I said. "I was hoping I could lure Fialux with a little damsel in distress routine, but I'm assuming since you're out here she's not going to be found on the side of town, right?"
Shadow Wing's attack was almost faster than lightning. The only problem is I was ready for it. The instant she darted forward I activated the anti-Newtonian stasis field and her fist stopped just an inch from my face. It wasn’t exactly catching Fialux off guard, but it was a start. At least that proved that I could stop someone with the stasis field if they weren’t putting out the kind of power that Fialux was capable of. After all, the Wing was a mere mortal for all the impressive gadgets she had.
And now that she stood there in the glow of the stasis field I could get a good look at the hero behind the mysterious shadowy figure who was so terrifying to the criminal element that they'd been known to pee themselves at the sight of any moving shadow on the off chance it was her.
And let me tell you, this girl was hot. I suppose that's to be expected for someone who keeps herself in good enough shape to go out and tangle with criminals on a nightly basis, but I was still getting over the surprise of Shadow Wing being a girl rather than the hulking guy rumored throughout the city.
I walked around and gave her a good once over. She wore a dark gray form fitting suit very similar to what I wore. No cape, which was a sensible choice for a mortal hero. Fialux could get away with a cape since she was impervious to practically anything and it didn't matter if she got tangled up for a few minutes while a giant death robot pounded her with every weapon in its arsenal, but a mortal hero had to worry about that sort of thing. And from what I'd heard about the Wing she was nothing if not practical.
And the body inside that suit. Damn. She had a slim figure with an amazing set of tits and an ass that was begging to be squeezed.
I shook my head. What was happening? Here I had probably the number two heroine in the city and all I was thinking about was how much I wanted to squeeze her ass? Then again, I suppose I was out here trying to capture the number one hero because of similar ass squeezing designs so who was I to question that line of reasoning?
I know I’d only recently gained a more than academic interest in the female figure courtesy of my attraction to Fialux, but this mouth watering appreciation of Shadow Wing was definitely an interesting data point. Up until now I’d assumed that my interest in the fairer sex was purely an interest in Fialux, but judging from the way my breathing was picking up and I felt a rush in the pit of my stomach and all points immediately below as I looked at Shadow Wing it was clear that new fascination with the fairer sex extended to all women and not just women who’d traveled to our planet from another star with the express goal of putting me out of business.
Shadow Wing spoke in that gravelly voice again and pulled me out of my reverie.
"Whatever you have planned, you won't get away with it," Shadow Wing said.
I finished my full circle around the Wing, enjoying every inch of her body that I saw in that skintight suit. One thing that you could say to recommend the heroic lifestyle, it definitely left a lady in excellent shape. My mouth was watering just looking her up and down. She was no Fialux, but judging by the stirring between my legs the chance to check her out more than made up for not finding Fialux tonight.
I found thoughts running through my head that had been reserved for Fialux. In an odd way it felt like I was betraying Fialux somehow with those thoughts even though we weren’t anything approaching an item unless you consider leveling half of downtown as part of a super powered fight to be a good first date activity. And yet as I looked at Shadow Wing I couldn’t deny my attraction. And I thought I detected something in the way she was looking at me. Something that intrigued me. Something that had me hoping and wondering where the night might lead.
Well, I knew exactly where I was wanting the night to lead. I felt heat between my legs and an ache crashing through my body. I’d discovered a few things about myself and I desperately wanted to move from theory to practical trials.
The only trick was getting the great Shadow Wing to go with it.
"Oh but you haven
't even heard what my evil plan is," I said.
I stood in front of her and leaned in until I was inches from her face. The glow from her night vision goggles disappeared and her eyes appeared beneath the mask. She had striking brown eyes. Brown eyes that I felt like I'd seen before somewhere, but who knew? The city was lousy with secret identities, and who was to say I hadn't run into Shadow Wing's secret identity at some point? Hell, she could be the barista where I got my coffee every Friday or a cop that I avoided vaporizing on a regular basis. There was no telling.
To my surprise Shadow Wing inhaled deeply as I leaned into to her. Her eyes opened wide, and then she squeezed them shut and shuddered. Now that was definitely interesting. That was exactly the kind of shudder I'd experienced the day before when I had my little performance in front of the holoprojector.
Was this costumed hottie actually getting turned on? By moi? Sure I’d seen guys react that way to me. I knew objectively that I was attractive enough. You had to be a looker to a certain degree if you were going to go with the tight outfit and masked costume route rather than hiding yourself completely, but I was still surprised to get that reaction from a woman. I guess this was all so new to me, I was still so not used to these strange new feelings, that the idea that another woman would have those same feelings and would react that way to me was outside the realm of possibility.
Except I couldn’t deny the way she reacted. I smiled. Maybe the great Shadow Wing was feeling some of the same conflict that the great Night Terror had been feeling over the past couple of weeks regarding the great Fialux.
I was always a fan of scientific experimentation. Time to test that hypothesis.
I reached out and put a hand under her chin. One of the fringe perks I’d discovered with my newly developed stasis technology was that whatever I wanted not moving definitely couldn't move, unless it was Fialux of course, but it was keyed to my biometrics so if I needed to manipulate the field all I had to do was reach out and touch whatever I’d caught in my web of super science. My fingers tingled as my hand brushed the underside of her chin and pulled her face up to look into mine. I'm not sure if the tingle was because of the stasis field, because of how damned hot she was, or maybe a combination of both. I didn't have a large enough sample size to tell one way or the other.
I took a deep breath. This was all so new to me and I wasn’t sure how she was going to react. It was amazing. I was the hottest and biggest villain in the city and here I was with butterflies in my stomach because I was worried about how this beauty might react when I hit on her! I felt like I was back at a middle school dance hanging around the edges plotting ways to turn the DJ’s lights into a hypnotic pattern that would allow me to overthrow the school and institute my benevolent regime of all academics and no gym class rather than deal with the terror of wading out into the sea of hormones raging at the center of the gym dance floor and risk sinking in that vast and treacherous ocean.
No. I was villainy. I was the Night Terror. I could be confident enough to hit on someone even if this was completely uncharted territory for me.
I leaned in closer so my lips were almost brushing against hers. Then I moved to the side so my mouth was even with her ear. Her breathing picked up, and was that another shudder? Definitely interesting. Definitely the reaction I was looking for. Hell, I was starting to shake just a little myself. Here I was a girl who’d maintained her cool and composure fighting against the best this city had to offer and now I was shivering like a school girl with a crush as I got near Shadow Wing!
"What if my nefarious plans aren't quite as nefarious as you might think?" I whispered into her ear.
I moved back until I was eye to eye with her again. Well, I might as well go for broke if I was going to go for it. I leaned forward and pressed my lips against hers. Her eyes widened in surprise, but then she let out a sound halfway between a growl and a moan. Where it would ultimately land was anyone's guess, but I was getting excited just hearing it.
I continued pressing my lips against hers and was rewarded with her mouth opening to mine. Jackpot! Maybe I wasn’t completely crazy about how she was reacting. Maybe I wasn’t imagining things after all. That shivering grew more intense.
I pulled away and looked into her eyes, my own eyes darting back and forth as I looked for some sort of emotion on that stoic face.
"What are you doing?" Shadow Wing growled.
These emotions were all so new, and I had to experience them to their fullness. I had to experience them with another woman. There was no denying how I felt anymore.
Time to get bold. Time to get stupid. Time to go for broke. This wasn’t an experiment anymore. This was something new for me. This was something the rational and analytical part of my mind wasn’t equipped to deal with. This was pure lust, pure emotion, and it was uncharted territory for the girl who went into everything with a plan.
"Tell me to stop and I will."
I leaned in again. This time when my lips brushed against hers, surprising how soft they were for somebody obviously so tough, her mouth opened slightly. I took that for the obvious invitation it was and darted my tongue out against her lips. She let out another noise, more moan than growl this time, and her mouth opened to mine. Damn that felt good!
I pulled away and decided it was time to give this the ultimate test. The analytical part of my mind might not be in control right now, but it still had enough pull that I wondered if this was all some ruse she was using to try and get free. Only one way to test that. I reached down to my wrist control, tapped a button, and the anti-Newtonian stasis field suffered a not-so-spontaneous massive existence failure. Shadow Wing stumbled forward as the field winked out around her, and then she was standing in front of me staring.
Her eyes narrowed, though it wasn’t nearly as dramatic as when she did it with her glowing night vision headset.
"Why did you let me loose?"
"Because I needed to see how you'd react to this," I said.
I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around her, my hands going down to cup that magnificent ass that felt so firm and wonderful. I pressed my body against hers, our breasts smashing together, and once again I pressed my lips against hers.
This time there was no mistaking the moan as our mouths opened to one another and our tongues swirled together. I continued groping her ass and pressed my thigh insistently against that delicious spot between her legs. God, rubbing against her like that felt more amazing than I ever could have imagined. It was so much more intense than the fumbling dalliances I’d had with men before I embarked on my villainy career and didn’t have time for silly things like dating any more.
We stood in the middle of that darkened alley for several minutes, knocked out thugs sprawled out around us, enjoying the taste of one another. Her hands ran up to the back of my head and another one ran down to my ass which she squeezed. Then she pulled back and stared at me with a thin smile crossing her face.
"Damn," Shadow Wing said.
"I agree," I said. “Though I’m a little surprised.”
“Surprised? Why’s that?”
“Well a dark alley surrounded by thugs isn’t exactly a great spot for picking up a girl…”
That thin smile widened into a gorgeous grin. “That’s the only place I pick up girls, though this is the first time I’ve run into a villain of your… caliber.”
I blushed. Blushed! What can I say? I was a sucker for compliments. “A little better than your average street thug, eh?”
“Oh a hell of a lot better,” Shadow Wing said as her arms snaked around me again. Damn her touch was amazing! She leaned in and kissed me and I was distracted from thinking about anything for a few minutes while I enjoyed that feeling.
Shadow Wing pulled away and her eyes were wide. Her breathing was hot and heavy. Hell, I was feeling the same way.
“Damn. You really are the best in this city!” she said.
I blushed again, but then something occurred to me. That was the third time s
he made a reference to my villainous reputation. Could it be? Did she…
I stepped forward, sure to put some sway into my walk. I was gratified to see her eyeing me up and down as I did so. “So does it turn you on having the best villain in the city defeating you so easily?”
Shadow Wing’s eyes squeezed shut and she took in a deep shuddering breath. Hell, the rest of her body did a little bit of shuddering as well. Now that was very interesting. A hero with a villain fetish. Who knew? Though I wasn’t going to knock it if it was leading to this amazing experience.
Her eyes opened. She locked eyes with me as I threw my thigh up and wrapped a leg around her. I was thankful that I worked out enough that I was able to pull that move off without much trouble. She took in another deep shuddering breath.
"What are you doing to me? Are you sure this isn’t part of one of your crazy plans?"
I couldn't help but laugh. What was I doing to her? I could ask her the same question considering all the new feelings coursing through my body. Only I didn’t. Now wasn’t the time for questions. Now was a time for action.
“Nothing you don’t want me to,” I said. “And right now I
"Mind control isn't my style hot stuff," I said. "And the only plan I have right now is my plan to get into these wonderful pants."
I looked down. "Well, get into your wonderful tights. Whatever those are."
Shadow Wing jumped on me and I barely had time to get my own foot back on the ground. As it was the inertial dampeners were the only thing that kept me from sprawling on the ground with this beauty on top of me, not that I would’ve particularly minded that experience. She wrapped her legs around me and her mouth descended on mine again. I eagerly opened my mouth to hers as our tongues danced once more, her body pressing against mine and feeling absolutely amazing.
