MIND CONTROL - R&R equals Revenge and Riches
(Last Revision: 27-Jul-96)
by Sharon Best
This episode continues from Chapter 11-0, where Kara fell into the clutches of Eric, an unscrupulous Terran researcher who has discovered an Arion Mind Control device that seems to have great potential, but that may actually be of very questionable real use! He has used this device to enslave Kara’s mind, enabling him to seemingly control her every thought and action. At least that’s what his partially translated Arion manuals said it would do!
This chapter opens the morning after the wild orgy that took place at the Health Club of the Hollywood Hilton.
* * *
The morning after Kara’s erotic performance at the hotel health club, she and Eric checked out of the hotel and began driving aimlessly around the freeways. Eric was looking for some safe way to use Kara to quickly solve his money problems, but he didn’t really want her to just walk into a bank and rob it. He had no problem with her ‘performance’ being a public one, he just wanted one that was away from the security cameras and the cops.
The brake lights were all on ahead of him as the 405 began slowing, the van moving slowly up the east side of the Sepulveda Pass. Staring intently ahead of him, his eyes focused on a huge Wells Fargo armored truck about 10 or 15 cars ahead of him. Yes, he thought, that would do it!
He turned to smile at Kara while turning the mind control Device on once again. “Kara, I want you to slip out the door of the van and run forward to get all the cash in the back of that truck. Meet me over at the dunes at the west end of LAX when you are done.”
Kara didn’t hesitate for even a moment, immediately opening the door of the van to jump out into the forty mile per hour traffic. Her long legs were a blur under her tiny red skirt as she easily ran after the truck until she got ahead of it, her bright Supergirl costume and flying blond hair catching everyone’s eyes. After getting a couple of car lengths ahead of it, she suddenly turned to stop directly in front of the truck, right in the middle of five lanes of traffic. Bracing her arms, she stared up at the armored truck driver as his right foot urgently attempted a panic stop. Yet he had barely touched the brake when the massive truck smashed into the young girl’s strong outstretched arms.
Eric could barely see what was happening as the massive truck crashed into Kara, although he could tell that the impact was incredible, so strong that the back wheels of the truck momentarily lifted off the ground! Yet despite Kara’s awesome strength, her body was pushed backward by the inertia of the massive truck, her bare feet digging two long grooves into the hard cement. She leaned ever more strongly against the truck, having decided to do this without using her flying powers, her feet digging two trenches nearly an inch deep in the hard concrete roadbed as she finally brought the truck to a shuddering stop. Shaking the shattered concrete from her feet, she paused briefly at each of the front tires to jab her fingernails into them, and the truck settled forward on the exploded flat tires as she slowly walked around to the back.
The traffic was now stopped behind the truck as the lanes on each side continued to flow past her, horns honking in annoyance. She just ignored the drivers, biting her lip in concentration while working her fingers around the edge of the door until she could get a good grip on it. Her slim arms began flexing dramatically now as she squeezed the steel so firmly that her hands deformed it, her fingers sinking deeply into the steel from just the power of her startling strong grip. The steel screamed and groaned as her hands proceeded to slowly peel the armored door completely off the van, the hinges finally snapping off as the massive door clanked down onto the roadbed.
Kara smiled back towards Eric, noticing that he had been forced to stop about ten cars behind the truck. She continued smiling softly to herself as she turned to step up into the back of the truck, and was caught totally by surprise when the guard inside opened fire with his service revolver!
Kara felt several sharp blows to her face, and her head was thrown backward so suddenly that she lost her balance, her feet tangling to trip her. She fell backward to land hard on the roadbed, her long blond hair splayed all around her. She lay still for nearly a minute as people started to get out of their cars to walk toward her, wondering if she was really dead! Her short skirt was flipped up on one side, her long legs so visible, but her beautiful face was covered by her long hair.
Several of them had almost reached her when she suddenly rolled over onto her stomach and pushed herself up with her arms, her long blond hair still hanging down onto the filthy pavement as she paused for a moment, resting on her hands and knees, her head hanging low. She finally flexed her arms in a final pushup that launched her all the way back to her feet in one smooth movement, her fingers flicking several pieces of lead from the corner of her eye.
Slowly smoothing her tiny red skirt back down and straightening her top, she smiled reassuringly at the concerned faces before turning to step back up into the open doorway.
The guard didn’t even raise his weapon this time: he was frozen in place, paralyzed with amazement as the girl he had just shot in the face reached forward gently to take the gun away him. She raised it up in front of his face as she slowly crushed it into useless scrap metal in her powerful grip, her hands finally tearing it into two pieces of metallic slag. The guard’s eyes were like two saucers as she gave him a silent warning look before handing the crushed remains of his revolver back to him!
Kara quickly scanned the bags in the van with her super vision until she found a half dozen that contained only cash. Gathering them up in her arms, she turned to fly out the back of the truck. She was just leaping into the air when she felt the guard hit her with a flying tackle, his arms surrounding her waist as his face pressed between her tight glutes. It was too late to stop herself without falling onto the road, so she flexed the same muscles that his face was buried in and accelerated upward into the blue sky, the guard clinging to Supergirl’s gorgeously tight ass for dear life.
* * *
Eric’s eyes were nearly falling out of his face as he sat in his van, watching his new girlfriend tearing the armored car open with her bare hands. He heard the shots a moment later and saw how she was thrown down onto the road when the guard fired directly into her face. He was just beginning to be get worried about her when he saw her swing herself back up into the truck, her faint smile making it clear that she was unhurt!
She was in the truck for several minutes before he finally saw her emerge from the dark interior with her arms full of money bags, the guard desperately hanging onto her legs for dear life. He tried to follow her with his eyes, but his view was quickly blocked by the roof of the van as she soared up out of sight into the gray sky.
Gunning the engine, he cut several people off as he quickly changed lanes, impatiently following the traffic until he could exit on the Howard Hughes Parkway, finally driving around LAX to stop at the dunes.
* * *
Meanwhile, Kara had flown rapidly down over the side of the elevated roadway as the guard clung desperately to her bare legs, his voice screaming with fear. She flew low over the ground until she saw a wooden fence coming up. The funny smile returned to her lips as she slowed down, flying her body right through the center of the fence!
The guard’s hands were torn free of her waist as she scraped him off her body, her last glance back showed him getting to his feet on the soft grass, angrily shaking his fist at her.
Eric turned off the Pacific Coast Highway and drove up one of the abandoned roads into the dunes, very glad that the guard was no longer in sight when Kara came into view around a corner, forcing him to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting her!
Now standing in front of the van with her hands on her hips, she looked very pleased with herself, an equally big grin spreading across his own face. Skipping forward like a young girl, she opened the rear door and tossed the heavy money bags in before joining him in the front seat again.
“Well, did I do OK, Eric?” she asked like a little girl, a big smile lighting her face.
“Do OK? You were incredible, Kara! You know, I’d read about what you could do and saw some of your strength back in the hotel. But I had no idea what that all really meant for the two of us until I saw you ripping the back of that armored truck open. You were unbelievable!”
Kara beamed at him as his praise made her feel so warm and content, so loved. She leaned over to place her hand on his thigh while softly kissing his cheek.
She lowered the tone of her voice, deliberately making it sound deeper, almost masculine. “So, lover, you like to watch my muscles of steel in action, huh? Well, as long as you make your own type of steel while you’re watching me, then you’ll be giving me all the power I need to do more!” With that, her hands slipped down to massage the growing hardness in his pants, the thrilling sensation of Supergirl touching him there almost driving him crazy with desire!
* * *
It took all of his concentration to start driving again, his next planned stop being the house of a man who he had been dreaming about getting even with for years. This man had been his partner once, the two of them had worked together on one of his earliest projects. But as they had neared the end of that project, the man and his girlfriend had taken all of the schematics and software and sold it to a commercial engineering firm. They had received more than a million dollars for the design, but had denied that it was anyone’s work but their own. Since the two of them had been doing this work ‘off the books’, Eric had no records that proved he had really been the inventor of most of the real technology in the design. He had never forgiven his ‘friend’ for selling him out that way and was now determined to even the score!
His former ‘friend’ now lived in a very expensive hillside house in BelAir. Eric and Kara drove up his driveway an hour later, the metal security gates at the bottom of the driveway suddenly torn and mangled from Kara’s rather dramatic entrance. Stopping the van in front of the door, Eric gave her some new instructions.
“Kara, I want you to take me into this house and help me find the man who lives here. I expect he and his wife to be totally crushed when they see what I’ve done with this mind control invention, when they see that this device far surpasses anything they could even dream about building.”
Kara nodded knowingly as he talked about crushing the people, she knew how to do that! Quickly opening the van door, she led Eric up to the locked and barred front door of the house. Yet this was no real obstacle for Supergirl as she reached up with her strong hands, tendons suddenly standing up strongly along the back of them. The steel bars groaned for a few moments before they began bending under the inexorable power of this alien girl’s muscles.
At the same time, Eric looked down to admire the incredible definition he saw, tanned skin very visible down the deeply cutout back of the cocktail dress she had slipped over her costume. The muscles of her shapely back were absolutely gorgeous as she pulled her arms outward to tear the bars apart.
Just as she started to tear the thick bars apart, he reached up to touch her shoulders, to feel the firm contours of her hard muscles as they flexed larger, filling his hands. They felt just like warm flexing steel again, yet living steel. Placing both hands on her strong shoulders, he felt her stretching her arms out to the side to rip the barred door open, quickly tearing the lock off the inner door.
The house alarm began to scream loudly for a couple of seconds until she turned her head and glared at it. Violet beams leaped out to destroy the alarm box up under the eaves, a shower of sparks falling down over the two of them. Giving him a quick reassuring smile, she turned back around to push the door open as she began scanning the house with her super vision while Eric rather irritatedly quenched the sparks that had made small burn marks over the front of his shirt.
The walls seemed to melt away before her remarkable vision, her eyes quickly finding a man curled up with an attractive older woman in the upstairs bedroom. She saw him leaping shakily from the bed and reaching into the night table to get a gun.
Pushing Eric behind her for safety, she led him up the stairs until she was standing in front of the bedroom door. Quietly motioning Eric further to the side, she suddenly tore the locked door wide open.
* * *
Sam had woken with a start to the sounds of someone breaking into the house and his heart was now beating frantically as he listened for further sounds. His gun was shaking wildly in his hand as he suddenly saw his double-wide bedroom door crash open. His reflex was to squeeze the trigger, the gun jumping in his hand as he saw a ragged hole appear in the rounded contours of the chest of a very pretty young girl! He had been expecting someone with a mask and maybe a gun of his own, but instead, the most beautiful blonde teenage girl he had ever seen stood in his doorway, a girl he had just shot!
He was stunned and shocked, appalled that he had just shot this girl! Yet she seemed unharmed somehow, holding her arms straight out to her sides as she held the remains of his shattered bedroom door. She paused for a moment as her looked down at the hole in her dress before they rose to meet his again. Her smile grew broader as she walked boldly into his bedroom.
Jim suddenly saw Eric Cantlebend walking in behind the girl! And why wasn’t this girl dead? His shot should have punctured a lung at the very least! And Eric… damn, he never thought he would see him again! What the hell was he doing here, and how could a geek like that be accompanying this beautiful teenage girl?! Eric had never been a ladies’ man - his scrawny unkempt body had always turned women off. Yet here he was with the most striking young woman he had ever seen! A woman who was also apparently bullet-proof!
“Well, well, Sam, we finally meet again,” Eric said as he walked confidently across the large bedroom with Kara at his side. He reached out to put his arm around her waist to hug her close to himself. “I’d like you to meet the girl you just shot, my girlfriend, Kara. You can call her Supergirl, everybody else does. We came to pay you a little visit and let you know that I haven’t forgotten how you ruined my life a few years ago. “
“What do you want, what are you doing here?!“ Sam asked anxiously, finding he was having trouble catching his breath. “You can’t just walk into my house like this. How did you get in here anyway?”
Kara saw the gun wavering in his hands, his finger twitching on the trigger. Wetting her index finger in her mouth, she quickly stepped forward, moving almost too fast to see, as she stuck it into the end of the barrel!
Walking forward, Kara pushed him backward with just her one finger, finally pinning him against the wall. She could feel him struggling to free his gun, the handle pressed uncomfortably against his chest. Yet instead of releasing him, she took the barrel of the gun in her other hand, withdrew her finger and raised it up to put it between her teeth. Biting down, she felt the steel giving way between her pearly whites, the gun steel collapsing until the barrel was crushed flat!
She gave him a little smile as she reached down to twist the gun from his hands while lowering it, muscles flexing strongly all across her upper body and arms as she held it in front of his chest. He heard a groaning sound as the steel frame of the gun suddenly stretched and ripped into two pieces! As she shifted her grip to squeeze the handgrip of the automatic, he heard some muffled BANGs as some of the bullets exploded harmlessly in her grip, the girl tossing the crushed pieces of the gun onto the bed! She then placed her hands back on her hips, her green eyes staring calmly at him.
Eric looked over to the side of the bed to see the ‘silent alarm active’ light on the control panel of their house alarm system. He knew he didn’t have much time, so he walked up and shook Sam’s hand.
“Sam, what you see in front of you is the result of an invention that even you can’t steal from me. This is Kara, the girl you’ve seen on TV with the super strength, the one they call Supergirl. I finally perfected that mind control box that we always dreamed about back in school. She is now completely under my control and will do anything for me.”
“Anyway, Sam, no hard feelings, OK? I just wanted to see how you were doing and tell you thanks for cheating me back then. If you hadn’t stolen all my work, I wouldn’t have kept trying to recreate it and I wouldn’t have developed what I have now. And I wouldn’t have Supergirl as my girlfriend.”
Eric was surprised as he found that he was now actually more interested in showing off his ‘girlfriend’ than anything else. Sam had always made fun of the fact that women had always avoided him. But now here he was with the most fabulous female on the planet as his girlfriend!
Knowing how incredible her body felt to touch, he suddenly had this insane desire to show her off again. Pulling Kara’s willing body tightly against himself, he stood on his toes to kiss her for a moment.
“Kara, why don’t you give them both a big hug and a kiss to say goodbye and we’ll then be on our way.”
Kara now clearly remembered what he had said about crushing them and she figured this was his way of telling her to go ahead and do it now. She first walked over to the woman who was standing beside the bed. She was a very attractive tall brunette, her voluptuous body clearly visible under her sheer nightgown. She looked confidently and a little angrily into Kara’s eyes as she walked up to her, the mature woman in her not intimidated by a young girl who looked like she should still be cheerleading back in high school!
Kara paused in front of her as the woman suddenly lashed out with her hand, slapping Kara’s face with her full strength. There was a slight cracking sound that was audible even above the sharp slap, the woman suddenly reached up to hold her wrist while crying out in pain. Kara just smiled at her: the haughty lady had just broken her wrist against the invulnerable steel of her own face! She responded by grabbing both the woman’s hands in hers, her grip tightening as more crunching noises filled the room, the woman’s screams echoing from the walls as Kara crushed every bone in both hands!
Yet this woman was a fighter, twirling her toned body around as she smashed her elbow into the young blonde’s stomach, the resounding impact nearly breaking it as it struck the Girl of Steel. The woman was suddenly shocked as the blonde reached up to wrap her arms around her, the girl’s soft lips melting into her own. She suddenly became very frightened when she found she couldn’t move in her tight embrace!
Kara slowly placed her hands around the woman’s back, feeling a momentary pang of regret at what she was about to do… it didn’t seem right somehow! Pausing, she tried to remember the reason for taking this woman’s life, but could only remember that Eric had clearly told her to do this, to crush them both! She wished there was a better way to teach these two a lesson, but Eric had been quite specific about what she was supposed to do.
Shrugging, she lowered her arms until they surrounded the woman’s back as she continued to kiss her. Suddenly, as the woman began to beat desperately on her back with her broken hands, Kara gave her a strong squeeze, every bone in her upper body snapping as the woman was crushed against the steel of Kara’s ribs!
Kara relaxed her grip as she stepped back a couple of steps, her green eyes sparkling and glowing slightly as the woman’s expression was frozen on her face, her last expression one of glaring anger. The woman was still struggling to open her mouth to say something, her spinal cord snapped in half a dozen places, when Kara released the full power of her heat vision. Her eyes slowly traveled down the woman’s body while the violet beams turned her body white-hot. Her outline seemed to glow and shimmer for a few moments before she suddenly vaporized into thin air.
Kara heard the men gasping as she turned back around with a satisfied look on her face, a light puff of smoke being the only visible remains of the man’s wife! She had done as Eric had asked and she hadn’t even made a mess.
Kara smiled even more brightly as the man, the one Eric had called Sam, screamed at her in outrage, guessing that this was just the effect Eric had been looking for! Her smile fixed, she walked across the bedroom to put her arms around his back to give him a similar hug. It still didn’t really feel right to do this to him, but he was now saying some really bad things about her. Besides, Eric HAD been very specific about crushing them both.
Slowly pressing herself against him, she felt her breasts compress for a moment against his strong chest, his frightened eyes staring down at her dramatic cleavage as she put more and more strength into her arms until she felt his ribs bending inward against her tightly compressed breasts.
She suddenly hugged him a little tighter, and a popping sound was clearly audible as his ribs separated around the dramatic contours of her own out-thrust chest. His ribs spread around the rounded shape of her incredibly firm breasts until she finally felt his heart beating frantically against her right nipple. The rapid throbbing sent a thrill through her tit, causing her nipple to become slightly erect as she pressed herself against him even harder. She suddenly felt a funny wet pop against her right nipple, the entire front of her body suddenly covered with warm blood. As she turned back toward Eric she heard him shouting for her to stop!
* * *
Eric was so staggered by what he saw that his legs failed him, his body crumpling to the floor beside the bed. “What... what did you do to them?” he asked, so weak that his voice was barely audible.
“Just what you said, Eric, you wanted them crushed so I crushed them.”
“My god, Kara, I meant to mentally crush him, to make him sorry for stealing my invention. I didn’t mean to physically crush the life from them, you dumb bimbo! You’ve killed them both... God DAMN, we’ve got to get out of here, and now!“
Kara knew he was mistaken, his early instructions about crushing them were still very clear in her mind even if he had forgotten them. She smiled patiently at Eric’s confusion, after all, he was only a Terran, while calmly reaching down to pick up the man’s lifeless body, focusing her heat vision on him like she had the woman. His body exploded into white-hot flames for a moment before he also was reduced to just a puff of smoke in the air.
She then turned and casually stripped off her blood-soaked dress before vaporizing that as well. She was feeling confident and completely relaxed now as she walked into the bathroom to jump into the shower, quickly rinsing the front of her body off before slipping back into her costume. She then grabbed a dress from the dead woman’s closet that looked like it would fit her as she ran down the stairs after Eric.
She was giggling like young girls often do as she caught up to him, amused at the funny - almost stern - look on his face. Scrambling into the back of the van, she quickly changed into the dress she had borrowed as Eric roared down the street in the van, squealing the tires as he rounded the first corner. He had just made it to the next street when he saw a police car race past him, heading toward the house they had just left.
Turning to Kara, Eric started screaming at her at the top of his lungs. “My god, Kara, don’t you EVER hurt people like that again unless I specifically TELL you to do it. They didn’t deserve that kind of treatment regardless of what they had done to me! They didn’t deserve to DIE!!”
Kara calmly brushed her hair as she listened to him, fully understanding what he was saying… but what the hell. His earlier instructions still echoed clearly in her head even if he was getting more and more confused about them. Oh well, they were just Terrans, so what was the big deal? Eric hadn’t liked them anyway, and she had simply helped him even up the score! Besides, they had been mean to him first.
* * *
Eric drove wildly now as they traveled out of the city and up into the canyons to the east, his entire body trembling from an attack of nerves as he thought back on what had just happened. It was now apparent to him that this mind control device was so powerful that it had completely replaced any morality or compassion, not to mention any common sense, that Kara might once have had. He was now worried that he couldn’t completely predict her actions, and the slightest misunderstanding could be catastrophic with her powers! He would have to make sure he was a lot more specific in his instructions in the future, he could ill afford to leave any room for confusion when he was controlling Supergirl!
They now had to get out of the country, and he didn’t want to leave without something that would negotiate him a very comfortable living in countries that were outside the civilized world. He knew they both would have to take up residence in one of the ‘outlaw’ nations that supported terrorism and violence as he used Supergirl to extend his power across the planet. He had always had dark dreams about bringing the corrupt and paralyzed governments of the West to their knees while sweeping them away with fresh clean ideas and people. He knew that he now had the power, in the form of this teenage girl, to change the entire world!
And there was only one thing that he knew he could count on to ensure that he and Kara could finance his bold plan. He needed something far more valuable than even money, something that he could negotiate with so he could have his way with the leaders of those outlaw countries and escape any laws. While Kara could force their cooperation, he wanted to buy their help instead, knowing that violence begat only more violence. The unique substance that he knew would allow him that leverage was bomb-grade Plutonium! And he knew where to get it and, with Kara under his control, he now knew how to get it.
He still remembered the exact location of an experimental and very secret ‘breeder’ reactor out in the desert, one that was used to convert uranium into plutonium during the later years of the Cold War. He had actually worked on a project to build some special test equipment for that lab and had driven out there once to install it himself. No other reactors of this type had been built in the US as they were very dangerous, mainly because they ran at very high temperatures, requiring liquid sodium metal as a cooling agent.
Turning the Device on again, he phrased his commands very carefully this time as he told Kara to fly the van out near the research lab in the Arizona desert, describing in detail the route she should take. She immediately slipped out the door, Eric hanging on for dear life as the van suddenly lifted into the air, his girlfriend’s powerful arms flexing beneath it.
The wind shrieked around the windows of the van as Kara flew at nearly two hundred miles per hour across the California desert, climbing several miles above the ground. At one point, Eric found himself having trouble breathing in the thin air, and was suddenly concerned - he had not told her the maximum altitude to fly at!
Yet he wasn’t in any real discomfort, just a little short of breath, and the view was incredible. He finally relaxed a bit as she leveled off, leaning back in his seat to study the brown desert as it floated slowly past about three miles beneath him. They flew this way for several hours, Eric finally giving new directions to her, struggling to get enough air in his lungs to shout at her as he tried to make sure she understood him. Finally, he saw the high security lab coming into view. Shouting again, he told her to land on the road behind a hill about a mile and a half from the lab while he began scrounging around in his bags for the plans he had once seen for this place.
Kara jumped back into the van after setting it down, her pretty shoulders just a bit pumped from holding the van over her head for so long. He turned to run his hands worshipfully over those strong muscles, trying to massage the steel of her shoulders and back as he felt her muscles relaxing slightly under his touch, carefully explaining to her at the same time how he wanted her to go into the reactor storage room under the reactor complex and remove the plutonium metal.
He drew a map that showed her what he remembered of the inside of the building, telling her how to go into the storage area at the lowest level of the complex and then to remove as many canisters of the material as she could carry. He described the markings that she should look for to identify the right ones. He finally told her to carry the canisters out into the desert and find a place to hide them underground. She should then get herself completely decontaminated before rejoining him. He was especially careful to explain how to do that before she slipped out the door of the van and began jogging across the hot sand toward the complex.
* * *
Tired of flying, Kara decided to jog across the mile and a half of sand, stopping when she finally came up to a huge fence, one covered in warning signs that said it was charged with high voltage electricity! Pausing for only a moment, she reached up to grip it, immediately feeling an explosion of energy cross her body. Sparks flew from her hands and feet as she discharged the current into the ground. It felt kind of funny but pleasant as she looked down to see the sparks traveling down her arms and legs, bolts of electricity arcing between her tingling nipples, each discharge making them feel even warmer and more tingly.
She paused to enjoy the pleasant sensations for a moment before she grabbed the chain links, pulling her arms apart to tear a large hole in the fence. Letting go of the torn fence, she turned to squeeze though the opening, her breasts scraping against the torn fence, the narrow gap forcing her to suck her chest in to make it through the opening. Yet it was too small, a sudden wonderful burst of tingling warmth running across her chest as her nipples brushed against the ragged but still charged edge of the fence! She gasped in pleasure and paused once again, enjoying the warming sensations as she drew more and more of the energy into herself, feeling her breasts responding as they stored the increased energy. She finally saw smoke rising in front of her, and quickly moved the rest of the way through the fence. Looking down at herself, she saw that her nipples had burned little holes in the top of her dress. Shrugging her shoulders, she shifted her dress a bit to cover herself before casually continuing to walk across the complex.
A loud alarm was sounding in the main building and several men with automatic rifles were rushing out the door to bar her way as she approached the largest building, the one in the middle of the complex. She gave the men a little smile, waved, and continued calmly towards them.
“Halt or we’ll shoot. This is a national security area. No one is allowed in without special permission. Stop and put your hands behind your head.” Kara ignored the warning as she started up the long steps toward the doorway. Surely their silly rules didn’t apply to her!
The first soldier she reached was a young man just out of infantry training. In his naiveté, he saw only a dazzlingly beautiful girl about his own age in front of him, not a security hazard. Her clothes may be a little torn but her eyes were bright and animated as she stared into his.
Blinking furiously, he struggled to remember his training, finally stepping in front of her while pressing the point of his rifle against her flat stomach.
Kara stopped for a moment, drawn to the sight of the man’s young and very excited face. She finally gave him a bored smile as she casually reached down to pull his rifle out of his hands, bending it into a U-shape before tossing it over her back. The soldier was so stunned that he just stood there, still directly in her way. Shrugging her shoulder, she reached out to grab the top of his shirt, and sent him flying over her head with just a slight flick of her wrist!
The sergeant in charge of the detail saw what the intruder had done to his man and decided that, beautiful girl or not, he had his orders to enforce. This was obviously one FUCKING STRONG bitch! He had been truly shocked when he saw her throw the guard over her head as if he were made only of feathers!
Despite the fact that she looked like a wayward cheerleader from the local High School, he had been clearly ordered to use lethal force against any intruder and this situation now seemed to require it; this blonde bimbo was obviously dangerous despite her disarming looks!
He flipped the safety off his rifle as she slowly walked toward him, backing up until he was pressed against the door, the girl ignoring his shouted commands for her to stop. Finally out of choices, he pointed the rifle at her stomach, waiting until the last possible moment before finally pulling the trigger!
Kara saw the flashes and smoke from the gun and felt more than a dozen bullets impacting against her, marching up from her stomach and across her chest. She was flung violently down the steps, her dress nearly ripped from the front of her body, the bullets bouncing off her steel-hard skin in a riot of bright sparks. Collapsing into a crumpled heap at the bottom of the stairs, she almost felt herself passing out from the sharp pain of the steel-jacketed bullets. Doubling over, she grabbed her stomach and chest as she curled herself up into a ball. My God, that hurt!
She lay in this fetal position for a few minutes until the pain subsided a bit, shuddering as she slowly got back to her feet. Looking down at her torn dress, she could see that her skin was largely unmarked except for some lead marks where the steel jackets of the bullets had burst. She experimentally rubbed those off as she looked back up to see the soldier still standing at the top of the stairs. Taking a hesitant step, she suddenly felt dizzy again, staggering a couple of times while she struggled to get her footing back, feeling very disoriented for some reason.
Yet Eric’s instructions drove her on. Pushing her long hair behind her back with both hands, she slowly started back up the steps. Despite the pain, Eric had clearly told her again that she HAD to enter this building.
She braced herself this time as the older soldier fired at her once again, crying out in surprise as a bullet struck the center of one of her sensitive breasts, her hands reaching up to protect them. One bullet finally ricocheted off her collarbone and bounced back to hit the man in the shoulder, and the strong impact threw him backward, knocking the rifle from his hands before he slowly slumped to the ground. His eyes now simply stared in amazement at her as he struggled weakly to pull his handgun from his holster.
Kara just ignored him, flicking his body a couple of feet to the side with her foot before forcing her fingers into the gap at the edge of the armored steel entrance. She strained just a bit as she pulled her hands apart, the armored door bending outward, almost ripping off its hinges!
She was still standing nearly on top of the injured man, forgetting all about him as she stepped forward to begin walking through the torn opening into the lobby. Suddenly, she felt an incredible hot burning impact up between her legs while hearing a loud BANG, her body almost lifting off the ground as several sharp blows struck under her skirt: BANG BANG BANG! The repeated blows finally threw her forward and off balance. As she tumbled to the ground, the sharp impacts marched up between her legs and across her buttocks, the soldier firing into her prone body at almost point-blank range as he lay on the ground beneath her.
She raised herself up onto her knees and tried to get back up, turning her head to look back at him as he lay behind her. She suddenly gasped loudly as she felt two more sharp impacts, this time up against her sex, as it felt like something had actually entered her! Her hand flashed down to flick a hot bullet from between her tingling labia as she felt the guard fire his last few rounds into her tight ass before he slumped backward, finally passing out cold.
Kara’s body was tingling from head to foot now, as much from pain as from the violent arousal of those penetrating bullets. She finally staggered back to her feet, her knees turned inward as she staggered forward. Her mini-skirt was now half torn off as she held her hand between her legs, her fingers firmly massaged her burning and tingling sex as the strong sensation from the intruding bullets gradually faded away. She finally was able to stand straight again as she walked crookedly into the lobby while still rubbing her crotch and massaging her buttocks, pulling the remains of her skirt back down as she passed the astounded receptionist, the woman seemingly frozen in shock!
Walking over to the elevator, she punched the Down button, the doors opening immediately. Taking the elevator down to the lowest level that was marked on the control panel, she had no sooner stepped from it when the whole corridor was filled with a green smoke. Glancing up to read the warning signs, she saw the skull and crossbones warning about lethal nerve gas that would be deployed automatically during an intruder alert. She took a deep breath of the green gas, finding that it had a very unpleasant odor. But it didn’t seem to bother her, so she walked down the hall until she came to the reactor entrance door.
She leaned forward and again shoved her fingers deeply into the hard steel frame of a door, slowly ripping it from its hinges as her back exploded into a maze of sharply defined muscles. Stepping through the now torn doorway, she saw the huge steel reactor vessel rising up nearly four stories above her, the placards on the front warning of high radioactivity inside. Smiling, she knew that she had just found the storage area that Eric had told her about.
Glancing at the monitors, she saw that the breeding reactor was running at more than 600 degrees Centigrade. The meters also showed that the radiation level inside was measured in the thousands of Rads per minute level; enough to fry an ordinary Terran from the radiation alone in no more than a second or two. Reflecting on that, she thought again about how fragile these Terrans were, somehow feeling separate from them now, despite having grown up as a fairly normal girl here on Earth. She wondered at the significance of her sudden thoughts about Terran fragility, this was the second time she had thought about that in the last day. Bringing her thoughts back to the present, she flicked her hair behind her and decided to ignore the placarded warnings. They may be appropriate for Terrans, but not for her, not for Supergirl!
Walking forward, she placed her hands firmly against the thick steel containment vessel while using her super vision to check the thickness of the wall. She was surprised when she found that she couldn’t see through it, guessing that it made sense that they would probably install a lot of lead shielding in these walls.
She didn’t see any easy or obvious way to open the chamber up, so she clenched her right fist and slammed it into the steel wall, her initial blow smashing a small depression about two inches deep into the hard steel. She then proceeded to smash her fist into it several more times until her hand was finally buried in the steel up to her wrist. Now grabbing the edges of the hole with both hands, she began to tear at it with her fingers, stretching the steel apart with the strength of her back and shoulders.
Her powerful hands gripped deeply into the steel edges of the hole while her fingers started to distort it, each digit sinking deeply into the hard steel. She felt the remains of her dress ripping slightly across her shoulders as her muscles really began to work now. She began tearing handfuls of the hard steel from the door and throwing the ragged balls of steel onto the floor, actually feeling her muscles straining and getting a little bit sore as her hands slowly ripped a ragged hole about three feet across and nearly as deep into the wall in front of her.
Suddenly, Kara felt one finger tearing into one of the liquid sodium pipes, her body suddenly sprayed with the 500 degree liquid metal as it gushed out and covered her! The remains of her dress and even her Supergirl costume, the one borrowed from the studio, were instantly vaporized as she leaned her face into the stream of hot glowing metal. It gushed down over her body, and felt very uncomfortably warm, and she struggled against the force of it for a moment. Finally stepping backward, she lifted her hands up to wipe the cooling metal from her eyes, really glad that the flow of liquid metal had quickly subsided. That stuff was HOT!
Squeezing her slim body forward into the hole, she continued to tear through the remainder of what turned out to be a four foot thick steel wall! She eventually was able to ease her shoulders into the opening as she pressed outward, her slim arms pressing so strongly against the steel that the impossibly thick metal wall began to bend outward on either side of her! She felt her shoulders straining harder than she had ever felt them work before as the four foot thick wall distorted, her back muscles flexing wonderfully as she placed her palms against each side while struggling to spread her arms further outward, the entire four foot thick wall bowing outward where her hands touched it.
At the same time, she felt an incredible growing heat all across the front of her body as she finally forced herself into the reactor capsule. She could see the glowing plutonium canisters, looking just like Eric had said they would. She also realized that there were a lot more canisters here than he had said she would find.
Remembering enough of her high school physics to know not to get too much of that metal in too close a proximity to itself, she grabbed two of the largest containers in her outstretched arms. She held both arms straight out to her sides as she turned and squeezed back through the opening to walk back down the hall toward the elevator. She saw her own reflection in the polished metal of the elevator door, her body glowing incandescently; her breasts nearly white-hot, the heat fading rapidly across her chest until her shoulders had only a dull red glow. She was amazed! While she felt very warm, the heat hadn’t really bothered her all that much!
The plastic elevator call button melted as she leaned against the wall to press the button with a free finger, but the door still opened as she stepped inside. Yet the door had hardly closed when the wood-paneled walls burst into flames from the heat being given off by her body. She held her breath as she stood in the middle of an inferno of flame and smoke while the elevator slowly rose up, the door finally opening in the main lobby.
Stepping out of the flaming elevator like a mythical Phoenix, Kara walked across the lobby and out the front door. She saw everyone, including the guards, leaping into vehicles and driving away down the road, most of them skidding wildly as they accelerated. She saw a sign on the wall that was flashing “CONTAINMENT FAILURE” in bright red letters. Shrugging, not really understanding what she had just done, she walked out the front doors and, with a burst of strength from her steel-thewed legs, she launched herself high into the clear blue sky.

Streaking south across the desert at high supersonic speed, she crossed the border into Mexico in a matter of a few minutes. Her keen eyes searched the desert landscape ahead of her until she found a cave that was more than twenty miles from the nearest road. Soaring gracefully downward, she begin digging a shelf in the rock wall of the cave with her fingers, and finally stashed the containers there. Then, streaking back into the sky, she flew out toward the ocean to start the decontamination procedure that Eric had told her about.
* * *
More than an hour later she flew back in from the ocean, searching the desert for Eric’s van. Surprisingly, it wasn’t parked near the reactor anymore. She widened her search and eventually found it about forty miles from the test site, Eric driving it wildly across the open desert at more than 90 miles per hour. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but decided to swoop down to match speed with him. She smiled in the passenger-side window at Eric, then casually opened the door against the strong slipstream to slip back inside.
She had hardly taken her seat when Eric started yelling something at her once again, but she ignored him and quickly moved into the back, changing back into the short cocktail dress with the black stockings that she knew he liked so well.
Eric was still in shock after hearing the radio warnings about evacuating the area. As before, Kara had made a fucking mess of things. Of all the idiotic things she could have done, tearing into the reactor capsule was the dumbest! He had wanted her to get the plutonium from the storage area in the next building, not to force a reactor containment breach!
He was beginning to further realize some of the limitations of the mind control device. People were compelled to do stupid things they would normally not even attempt to do; they lost all measure of restraint and caution after the device had modified their mental patterns! The goal of the modifications were clearly to make the person subservient and passive, to make them do exactly what they were told, and not to exercise any independent thinking or judgment. Eric now wisely grew afraid of asking Kara to help him any further as he drove at full speed across the desert.
* * *
Meanwhile, as Eric was driving frantically and Kara was leisurely smoothing her dress across her body, Fairchild and Chris were watching the news on CNN from their house in Hawaii. They were curled up together on the couch as they talked about what must be happening out in the desert. TV reports were coming in rapidly now, some of them showing the evacuation of everyone from the nearby counties. Fortunately, the military reactor was a long way from any large city, but the experts were still saying that an explosion was imminent, and could cause a huge radioactive cloud in the worst case.
“Fairchild, you’ve got to get over there and try to control this thing. I don’t think any team of scientists is going to be able to help, they’re all evacuating with just as much panic as anyone else. I think you’re the only one who can do it.”
Fairchild sighed as she reluctantly agreed with him. She was comfortably curled up with him for the night and had no desire to go flying off to save some government site 4000 miles away. However, the danger looked very real and she agreed with Chris, there really wasn’t anyone else who could do it, except perhaps Kara. Wherever she was tonight. That girl always seemed to disappear when there was work to do! Fairchild finally sighed and set her wine down, gently easing herself from Chris’ arms to stand up.
Walking into the bedroom, her body was a blur as she rapidly changed into the tiny costume that she wore when she publicly appeared as Aurora. It was made of the last remnant of clothing she had from Velor, fabric that had so far proved to be as invulnerable as her own body. Walking back from the bedroom a few seconds later, she paused to give Chris a quick kiss before walking outside onto the patio. Flexing her legs, she leaped two miles into the air with a single flex of her incredible legs!
Chris’ heart was still pounding strongly a moment later as the sonic boom of her departure rattled off the nearby cliffs. My God, he thought to himself, that tiny costume of hers always took his breath away!
* * *
It was less than 20 minutes later when Aurora started decelerating rapidly over the California desert as she approached the reactor site. She could see a plume of steam escaping as she flew down to land lightly in front of the armored main door.
She was immediately shocked to see that the door was bent open and ripped from its hinges! Other than the Arions, she knew of only two people who would have the strength to do that, and she was one of them! Looking closely at the marks that had been left in the steel door, she saw that it looked just like the door had been torn apart by someone with very strong hands. Even worse, the fingers of that person’s hands had been about the same size as her own!
She was starting to get a bad feeling about this as she walked through the twisted steel doors and approached the elevator. Those doors were also collapsed and partially melted, mostly from the incredible heat that she could feel rising up from the lower level: she could see that matters were getting critical down there. Turning quickly to the side, she ran down the stairs until she reached the steel door at the bottom.
The door was glowing red-hot as she placed her hand on the handle and tried to pull it open, a sizzle and burst of steam evaporating the moisture from her hand. Twisting the handle firmly, the door wouldn’t budge, apparently jammed outward against its frame from the heat expansion. Crouching down near the floor, she shoved her long fingers into the door jam, feeling the already softened steel giving way easily under her strong fingers. Then, with a shrug of her strong shoulders, she reached around behind the door and slowly peeled it back away from the frame.
An incredible blast of heat greeted her, the force pushing her off balance enough for her to fall backward onto the floor, a strong pinprick sensation spreading across her chest.
Picking herself back up, she quickly surmised that the pinpricks were from the incredible hard radiation coming from the reactor. She doubted it could hurt her, but it was certainly uncomfortable, especially against her sensitive breasts! Taking a deep breath of superheated air while she steeled herself, her lungs filling with air so hot that the paint in the stairway was now bubbling and smoking, she walked from the relative protection of the stairwell to enter the nuclear hell of heat and radiation inside the containment dome!
Fair immediately saw that her earlier suspicions had been correct, someone had obviously torn their way through the thick steel walls of the reactor with nothing but their bare hands! Forcing herself forward against the incredible heat, her eyes nearly closed as she instinctively protected them, she walked over to look into the reactor and at the torn hole in the vessel. It had to have been Kara, or maybe some insane Arion Prime. Nobody else could have done this! But if it was Kara, what was she doing causing damage like this?! And if not her, why would an Arion do this? They could get Plutonium from far easier sources than this! They even used it as part of their Warp engines, the breeder effect guaranteeing they never ran out of energy!
Aurora shook her head, deciding to worry about the why later. Looking around, she clearly saw that she didn’t really have much time anyway - the steel cylinders containing the plutonium were beginning to melt! She knew that if enough of the material flowed together down into the dished floor of the reactor, it would combine to reach critical mass and cause a very significant nuclear explosion.
Taking a deep breath, she slipped through the hole in the vessel to enter the out-of-control reactor, the incredible heat almost painful as her body sizzled and steamed from every orifice, the moisture from the unprotected openings of her body vaporizing as her skin heated up to match the surrounding air. Ignoring the weird and often rude sounds her body made as the moisture was boiled out, she began to pick up the canisters, carrying them out into the containment dome to lay them out on the floor about five feet apart.
Extremely reactive liquid plutonium flowed from some of the damaged containers, coating her hands and her arms as it ran down over her bare stomach and legs. She could feel the tremendous heat of the growing reaction across most of her body as she tried to carry the containers out of the reactor, the sensation uncomfortable even for a Velorian Protector! In fact, the plutonium coating her body felt like it was approaching critical mass as it became hotter and hotter against her skin, the reaction growing as if flowed over her stomach and down between her legs! And what was worse, she still hadn’t removed the two containers that were leaking the fastest!
She moved carefully but with deliberate haste, taking less than five minutes to remove all but two of the containers and to isolate them safely from each other. Standing in the relative coolness outside the reactor vessel, temperatures only at 600F now, she wiped as much of the dangerous metal off her body as she could before she walked back once again into the reactor core. Grabbing the last two containers in her outstretched hands, the worst of the leakers, she felt a critical mass starting to form between the plutonium on her body and that in the containers. Even more of the wildly reactive glowing metal now flowed down her glowing arms, convincing her that she had to get out of the atmosphere, and FAST!!
Flexing her gorgeous legs, she thrust herself out of the torn opening of the reactor and smashed through the closed door of the elevator, soaring gracefully up the elevator shaft, finally smashing through the reinforced cement roof of the building. Shattered concrete exploded outward for a hundred yards as her legs and buttocks flexed into living steel, the power of those awesome contractions accelerating her upward at immense speed, her body escaping the atmosphere in mere seconds. She suddenly found herself floating nearly a hundred miles above the Earth, the container in her right hand now starting to burst the rest of the way open from her strong acceleration!
Instinctively clutching the leaking container tightly to her chest, she wrapped her arms around both canisters to try to stop the leaks against her own body. A blaze of energy instantly exploded between her encompassing breasts as she suddenly realized that she had made a BAD mistake! An incredible bright blaze of white light exploded from her generous cleavage, a blast of heat and raw uncontained energy hammering her chest as the material was squeezed together tightly, too tightly, between her breasts, the plutonium instantly reaching critical mass in that intimate confinement! Aurora suddenly squeezed her arms as tightly as she could around the canisters, hoping to contain as much of the energy burst as she could between her arms and breasts!
* * *
The two billion people on the same side of the planet as Aurora were suddenly stunned as they observed an immense nuclear explosion high over their heads, the light bright enough to cast shadows even in the bright sunlight, the Earth’s sun momentarily occluded by a smaller sun that expanded outward in low Earth orbit.
Anyone looking up in the air at that precise moment was temporarily blinded by the immense flash, the huge ball of glowing plasma expanding outward until it was more than twenty miles in width. More than two hundred pounds of pure plutonium had suddenly fissioned, the fireball completely surrounding Aurora’s body as it blasted her arms out to her side and instantly accelerated her body away from the Earth at more than 50,000 miles per hour!
The pain against Aurora’s chest was unbearable, her entire body heating to immeasurable temperatures, the energies so great that her body became transparent from the heat. Her head was swimming with nausea as her glowing body flew outward and away from the Earth at far more than escape velocity. The stars, even the bright Earth beneath her, started to dim, her body feeling very faint as she struggled to control her flying power, attempted to slow her incredible velocity. Yet she had barely managed to turn back to look at the faint image of her beautiful adopted home, its faint image visible through the middle of the dispersing fireball, when a black curtain suddenly came down across her eyes, her body so violently assaulted by unrestrained nuclear energies that it exceeded even the abilities of this young Velorian woman to withstand! Her blue eyes slowly closed as her body tumbled limply through the cold vacuum, the Earth shrinking rapidly behind her!
