Part One
\nRebecca Hooper was surprised when Arnie asked her to go out to Tiava's for\ndinner that night. It was a pretty fancy place to eat, and they usually did\npizza or fast food or a place like Ground Round or Red Lobster if they felt like\na sit-down meal. She asked why he wanted to go there, and he mentioned it was\ntheir second anniversary. It was two years ago that evening when she stepped\ninto his van and he kidnapped her. That was the evening he figured out Rebecca\nHooper, his old high-school classmate, was Glory Girl, and she found out the\nfellow trying to start a career as a super-villain was her ex-math tutor, Arnie.\nInstead of adversaries they became friends and lovers, and she was so happy that\nhe wanted to do something special to mark the date. When he came to pick her up\nthat evening, she was surprised and very pleased to see he'd rented a limo and\ndriver! All through the wonderful dinner, Becky's nerves were on edge as she\nwondered if he was going to do what she suspected. Sure enough, after dessert,\nArnie came over to her and dropped to one knee. \"Becky, I really love you and\nwant to be more than your boyfriend.\" He pulled a small black box out of his\npocket and opened it. She gasped at the sight of the gold band with a pair of\nsparkling diamonds. \"Beck, will you marry me?\"
\nShe swung over and wrapped her arms around him, and started blubbering like a\nbaby. Tears ran down her face and words stumbled badly as they tried to come out\nof her mouth. \"Ohh.... Arnie.... it's beautiful... you really want to... I\nalways thought you were too nice a guy to... the ring is gorgeous...\" Arnie\nbroke in. \"Ahh, can I get a yes or (gulp) no here?\" Becky looked him right in\nthe eye and said. \"Totally, positively YES!\" After this excitement, they got\nback in the limousine, and Rebecca expected a ride back to Arnie's place.\nInstead they headed towards her house. She kept staring at the ring on her\nfinger. Suddenly, she thought to ask. \"Why the two diamonds, Arnie?\" He smiled,\nand whispered in her ear, \"To signify my beautiful fiance has two identities -\nRebecca Hooper and Glory Girl!\" She gave him another big hug and a long\npassionate kiss for that comment! When they got back to Becky's house, they\nentered to find Becky's folks as well as Arnie's Mom and Dad waiting with\nglasses and a bottle of champagne to toast the newly engaged couple. Becky\nlooked over at her fiance, and asked. \"Did you tell them?\" Arnie had a stunned\nlook on his face, \"No, I don't see how they...\" Thomas Belham, Arnie's dad,\nbroke in. \"A couple of days ago when you got that call from the jeweler, I\noverheard you tell him you'd be right over to pick up the ring you ordered. I\ncould see right away what was going on. I've noticed how crazy you are about\nthis young lady, and when I heard you were buying a ring, it was obvious. I\nspoke to your mother and mentioned it to Becky's folks. When we heard you two\nwere going out for a fancy dinner tonight we all were sure you were going to pop\nthe question.\" Donna Hooper spoke up. \"And we were also sure that Becky was\ngoing to say yes. The two of you are so much in love...\" Donna, and Helen\n(Arnie's Mom) both began to get misty-eyed and dabbed at their eyes with\ntissues. Patrick Hooper popped the cork on the champagne and filled the six\nglasses. \"Let's have a toast to the future of these young people -- All the best\nfor them!\"
\nThe next day, Rebecca passed on the wonderful news. She called Barbara Gordon in\nGotham, Diana Prince in Washington, and Kara Zor-El up at the Justice League\nWatchtower space station to tell them. A day later she had a lunch date at a\nDenny's with Leona, Carla and a few of the other hookers who were her good\nfriends and who she used to keep track of what was going on in the Granite City\nunderworld. She showed off her ring and told them of her engagement. The ladies\nall were so happy for Becky, and they insisted on celebrating. The group went to\na place called The Landing Strip, an adult club by the airport which offered\nafternoon shows for ladies. Becky and her friends were set up at a table right\nby the runway where several really well built studs in thongs strutted their\nstuff and were spending a lot of their time at the little party who got very\nwild and rambunctous. Champagne and several much stronger drinks kept coming to\ntheir table, and Rebecca kept getting talked into one more glass, or to try one\nmore different type of drink. The other ladies were stuffing bills into the\nthongs of the dancers, and Becky sort of recalled doing the same. She thought\nshe could remember standing up and dancing to the music. She was up on the\nrunway, her left hand holding the chrome pole as she swung around it. Her right\nhand went up and twirled... something... a brassiere?... in the air over her\nhead. Oh shit! That was her bra! The next thing Rebecca knew, she was getting\nout of a cab with Leona at home. Only with Leona's assistance was she able to\nwalk to the front door. Donna answered the door and was furious at the state her\ndaughter was in. Leona sheepishly apologized for letting the party get so out of\nhand. They put Becky to bed so she could sleep off her intoxication. As she was\nleaving, Leona suddenly recalled something. She reached into her large purse and\npulled out Becky's brassiere. She handed it to Donna, and mumbled, \"Ahhh...\nummm... well, this is hers... really nice meeting you...\"
\nPart Two
\nBecky was harshly hung over the next morning, and swore she would never again\ntouch alcohol for the rest of her life. Lots of aspirin and coffee that day\nmanaged to put her in a better state by dinner time, when Dad got home and Arnie\njoined them. Donna did not bring up the events of the previous evening, and\nBecky didn't go into great detail about her wild activities. But the looks\nRebecca got from her Mom during the day were harsher than anything Donna could\nhad said. Dad brought up a question. \"Well, now that you two are engaged, what's\nthe schedule. Have you decided when you want to have a wedding?\" Becky and Arnie\nlooked at each other and they each figured that was something they hadn't\ndiscussed yet. \"We haven't talked that over yet, Dad. We are not in a big rush,\nbut I suppose we should figure out something.\" Arnie nodded. \"Should we pick a\ndate right away? I guess we have to figure that out first if we're gonna get all\nthe details set up. Are we gonna have a big wedding?\" Becky was about to respond\nwhen her mom spoke. \"Do you want to invite people to share the event? You have\nfamily and friends, and they would be disappointed if they were not given the\nchance to be part of your big day. If you don't elope, you'll have a long list\nof people who deserve to be there.\" Arnie and Rebecca looked at each other and\ndidn't reply. This was going to be complicated, and take a lot of work. After\ndinner, the four sat and chatted for awhile about some of the details that were\nneeded for a wedding, then Arnie got up to leave. At the door, he stopped to hug\nand kiss his beautiful fiance. He whispered into her ear. \"My dad went over to\nmom's place for dinner tonight. I think they are starting to reconcile, babe. If\nthey get back together, I may ask you to move in with me.\" Becky was really\nhappy to hear that bit of news. If she had a chance to move in with Arnie, that\nwould be great!
\nThe next afternoon, Rebecca grabbed the phone as it rang. She recognized Barbara\nGordon's voice on the other end. \"Hey girl. I need your help on something. I\ntraced a certain clown from Gotham here to Granite City, and we may have to stop\na little activity he has planned.\" Batgirl usually spoke in riddles on the\nphone, as she'd emphesized to Becky that you could never tell when something\nmight be overheard. Rebecca figured that statement meant that the Dark Damsel\nhad discovered the Joker was up to something here in Granite City, and there\nwould be a little action tonight. Becky replied on the phone. \"OK, friend, I\nthink I follow you. Shall we meet someplace?\" Batgirl spoke again. \"In a half\nhour, on the corner where you enjoyed the great salad bar. See you.\" Becky was\nconfused for a minute, then she recalled the place they met for lunch a few\nweeks back. They had each had a chicken sandwich and the salad bar, and the\nsandwiches had been terrible. Barbara had commented that she even thought the\nsalad bar sucked, but Rebecca had joked that compared to the chicken, the salad\nbar was great. That place was on the corner of 70th and Regent, so she now knew\nwhere to catch up with Babs. And if anyone had been listening in they would not\nhave a clue where the ladies were getting together.
\nBatgirl hung up the pay phone on a corner in the south part of Granite City and\nwalked back to her bike. She had made all the arrangements, and hoped Glory Girl\nwould enjoy tonight's activities. Two blocks away, a gray van sat at the curb\nwith the engine running. Inside, a beautiful young woman in a purple body suit\nand a cat mask held the headphones for the listening dish that had been aimed at\nBatgirl. Shadowing the crimefighter this far had been tricky, but the tracking\ndevice on her bike had allowed the three vans to shadow her at a distance where\nthey couldn't be spotted. Barbara's bike had a special electronic scanner built\nin to detect and jam tracking units, but the device Selina had hidden on the\nbike was a special ultra low frequency module that Catwoman had gotten from\nLex-Corp. Selina felt she was finally going to get Batgirl in her clutches! She\npurred with excitement at the prospect. Her last chance at that had been stymied\nwhen that new heroine, Glory Girl, had been with Batgirl and the Huntress when\nthey all fell into Selina's clutches. But the blonde had pulled a trick and\nturned the tables. Catwoman had gotten away, and she now owed the Granite City\nheroine a little taste of her whip for that. Batgirl had spoken to someone on\nthe phone about a meeting... probably Glory Girl, the local crime-fighter. If\nthat was the case, the pair would soon be once again at her mercy! Selina\ngrowled at the driver. \"Don't you dare lose her. And if you get too close and\nshe spots us, I'll take my whip to you. Argent, be damned careful!\"
\nRyan Argent, the van's driver, bristled at the rebuke. He calmly replied, \"Yes,\nMistress.\" But he was seething at being treated like a wet-behind-the-ears new\ngoon. He was a trained villain's henchman and had spent many years working for\nsome of the most notable evil masterminds. He'd even worked his way up to an\nimportant position in Lex Luthor's organization. He still wore a fancy Rolex\nwatch that Lex had presented him with for work well done. That had been the\npinnacle of his career. But one mistake setting up a ray unit had been his\nundoing. When Supergirl burst in to Luthor's lair, the ray unit had\nmalfunctioned and the day had resulted in disaster. Luthor blamed him for the\nfiasco, and had fired him. Now nobody in Metropolis would hire him and he was\nstuck in Gotham City where half of the super-villains were maniacs. There was no\nway he would take a job with Two-Face or the Joker, they were too unstable. He'd\napplied with the Penguin, who was marginally better, but the guy was in the\njoint now. So he was reduced to working for this half-crazy dame. What a life.
\nThe van with the Catwoman followed their target. Catwoman kept in radio contact\nwith the other two vans that held back, but stayed close enough to be ready to\nhelp. The three vans held a total of twenty goons to help capture Batgirl when\nthe time was right. The Dark Damsel pulled up and stopped at a corner, and when\nthe before-mentioned half hour had passed, Rebecca Hooper in her garb as Glory\nGirl pulled up. \"Hi Bats. What's going on here?\" Barbara smiled at her close\nfriend. \"As I hinted, the Joker has a caper planned in the neighborhood, and is\nsetting things up nearby. I want to hit the place early and catch him unawares,\nand since this is your town, it would be impolite to do this without inviting\nyou along.\" Batgirl got on her bike, and the pair of cycles roared off. The van\nwith Catwoman followed, far enough behind to avoid being spotted. The other two\nvans held back a little further, but still close. Catwoman was puzzled about one\nthing. She'd heard on the grapevine that Joker was planning something outside of\nGotham, but the rumors she'd gotten had been that he was headed out to\nCalifornia to put a couple of porn merchants through the ringer. He and Harley\nhad run across a sex flick called \"Halley Queen Bets on the Jokah.\" Neither of\nthem had been amused by the trash and were going to show the producers and\ndirector of the smut the dangers of mocking and making fun in a film of someone\nwho was a homicidial killer. Catwoman would never admit it to either of them,\nbut she thought the flick was hilarious. So what was Joker doing here in Granite\nCity, just down the road from Gotham?
\nThe two lady crimefighters pulled up near a building that stood on a corner, and\nBatgirl and Glory Girl went up to the back door and quietly entered. It was a\ngood-sized place, a bar with meeting rooms and a large hall in back. Catwoman\nsignalled the other two vans to catch up and they parked across the street. All\nthe men got out and she smiled. If the two ladies were busy with the Joker and\nhis men inside, they wouldn't expect an attack from behind by a swarm of her\nmen. Selina smiled as she contemplated having Batgirl in her clutches and that\ntroublesome blonde also at her mercy. She stood at the head of her men as she\nopened the door and they streamed in. There was a hallway and she heard voices a\nlittle further on, in the hall. She was rubbing her hands together as she\nanticipated her triumph! She reached out and pushed the doorway open and led her\nforces into...
\nIt wasn't anything she had expected. Batgirl and Glory Girl were standing by a\ntable in the middle of the hall. There were red, white and blue streamers and\nballoons hanging from the ceiling, and a large sign on the wall said,\n\"Congratulations!\" The table was stacked with boxes wrapped in brightly colored\npaper and ribbons and bows. Glory Girl had opened one of the decorated packages\nand was pulling a sexy red negligee out of it. Standing to her right was\nSupergirl, and on the other side, next to Batgirl, was Wonder Woman. At tables\nnearby sat Big Barda, Star Girl, Gypsy, Huntress, Black Canary, Hawkgirl and\nVixen. Rebecca was very happy when Babs had lead her into the hall and everyone\nyelled \"Surprise!\" Now all of the guests stared at the intruders and they was\njust as surprised.
\nCatwoman stared back and forth, taking in the lineup of heroines who were\nstaring at her. She and her men could have taken Glory Girl and Batgirl, but...\nGypsy, probably... Huntress, Black Canary and Vixen would have been a lot of\ntrouble... Hawkgirl, Star Girl, and what little she knew about Big Barda would\nhave made her avoid running into them if she could... but... SUPERGIRL and\nWONDER WOMAN?!? Selina could have had another two vans full of men and she would\nnot have wanted to take on ONE of those two powerhouse ladies. Oh shit... what a\nmess. Selina cracked a smile, and broke the long silence. \"Well, Glory Girl...\nahh... what a great party -- I really didn't want to miss it! Sorry I'm a little\nlate. My gift... ohh dear, I think I left it in the car. I'll go get it and be\nright back. Congratulations. When are you due?\" She backed up a half step, and\nturned to try to get out. She knew it wasn't going to work. Sure enough, in a\nblink, Supergirl was on her right with a hand holding one shoulder, Wonder Woman\nwas on her left side with a hand on her other shoulder. Both seemed casual\nenough, but Catwoman could tell there was no way she could elude the grip of\neither one of them. Batgirl walked over and leaned towards Selina. \"It's not a\nbaby shower, Selina. It's an engagement party.\" Selina continued to flash a\nsappy grin, as nothing was going right. She cracked another comment, \"Well,\nsure! I was just kidding around.\" She wondered if her men would try anything\nstupid, but as she glanced around, she saw every one of them was standing with\ntheir hands up. She guessed they were not as dumb as they looked.
\nPart Three
\nOn a planet far, far from Glory Girl's engagement party, human beings lived and\nloved and suffered and died. A world very much like Rebecca's, but it had many\nthings that were different. On this world, there were people so similar that\nthey could have attended Glory Girl's party and felt they were with friends. It\nwas the differences that made this world important. On this world a group of\ncostumed heros and heroines fought villianous characters and groups for control\nof the planet. You ask how this was different? Only in the names and appearances\nof these people. They were not Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man or Captain\nAmerica, but they had the same heart and the same grit.
\nOne of the people who fought for righteousness was a strange example. Her life\nwas a mystery to the heroes and people of that world. Facts and rumors about her\nwere reported. She had the power to shrink her body to small proportions, but\nsmall or full sized, the blonde woman was a calculating, fiece warrior who\ndevastated anyone who opposed her. Nicknamed the Maid of Secrets, she had\nsuccessfully fought foes that other heroes had a lot of difficulty with. In fact\nwhen the Celestial Goddess (one of this world's greatest heroines) had been\ncaptured by Count Intelligencia and Sinestra the Sorceress, only the fact that\nthe Maid had also stumbled into the conflict resulted in the deaths of the two\nvillains and the rescue of the Celestial Goddess. Asking the other to keep her\nexistence a secret, the Maid vanished afterwards, and the Goddess wondered who\nthe miniature warrior had been.
\nThe Maid of Secrets had fled to avoid any chance of the Celestial Goddess\nfinding out the real truth. The Maid had been Marilyn McKendricks, a patrolwoman\nwith the Pine Branch Police when she had been kidnapped and recruited by a band\nof four young geniuses who had thought of taking over the world. At first they\nused their scientific knowledge to alter the woman, shrinking her body to twelve\ninches high and improving her agility, strength and endurance. When they\nfinished she had highly enhanced recuperative powers and a telepathic link to\nthe the Sinister Quartet. Their control made her do their bidding. As their\nagent, she used stealth to alter the world around her, furfilling the plans of\nthe four as they bent the world around Pine Branch to ease their eventual being\nthe power in the community, running everything in secret. But Marilyn soon saw\nthat the group were not really evil. They worked behind the scenes, destroying\nforces that were the true menaces to society. The Maid of Secrets began to think\nshe may be doing some good in the world. But when she faced the true evil of\nCount Intelligencia and Sinestra the Sorceress in their hidden lair, she kept\nsecret who she was and where her abilities originated. When she rescued the\nCelestial Goddess, she begged the heroine to never tell anyone about who had\ncome to help her. She feared what a group of true heroes would think of her for\nworking for the Quartet in their secret agenda.
\nBut the word leaked out and the media called her the Maid of Secrets. The\nCelestial Goddess broke her vow and revealed to the rest of the Terra Force what\nlittle she knew about the mysterious little heroine. Many were suddenly deeply\ninterested in what was behind the curious individual, and Marilyn became fearful\nthat the truth would get out. The Sinister Quartet had recruited select other\nindividuals who had been miniaturized to act as other agents for them, and they\nhad been the only ones who knew the truth about Marilyn. The Quartet decided to\ncreate a massive hoax to cover up their operation. The Maid of Secrets was\nrevealed to the world as the Warrior Champion of the land of Dollainia, an area\nthat was the last remnants of a destroyed planet. It was put forth that the\nChampion was searching the world for other survivors of her destroyed Kingdom,\nwith her origins causing her to want secrecy. A woman who had become a puppet of\nthe Sinister Quartet after Marilyn saved her life was miniaturized and given the\ntask of playing the Queen of Dollainia. In fact, the place was created out of\nthe space of an empty bunker beneath the surface of where the Quartet resided.\nBut as Marilyn followed orders and gave support to thie story being given out to\nthe world, she grew afraid and agitated. She was their heroine, and her missions\nbrought her into conflict with horrible terrors and dangers. She became a cold,\ncalculating fighter who killed when she had to. No one who died at her hands\ndeserved any less, but it still tortured the young woman who never thought she\nwould be driven to such measures. And the lies she was living meant that every\nencounter she had with the Terra Force caused her to tell these people more and\nmore falsehoods about who she was and what she was doing. The super group asked\nher to join, as they worried she was too blood-thirsty to stay on her own. These\nheroes and heroines had been people she looked up to before she had gained her\npowers. How could she tell them her entire life was built on a lie?
\nShe got some solice from Sarah, the woman who had been given the role of Queen\nof Dollainia. The red haired woman grew close to Marilyn and comforted her. In\ntime, they grew to love each other, and Sarah's companionship was a place where\nMarilyn's mind could rest and recouperate after her excrutiating missions. The\nlast mission had been the worst. Terra Force contacted her and said the\ndaughters of Steel Maiden had been kidnapped by a sorcerer who the Warrior\nChampion had once battled. They asked her for help. She knew that to help them\nwould be dangerous. But she did it anyway. The pursuit led to England and a mad,\nviolent dimension where a horrible demon the Maid of Secrets had killed had been\nreborn. He wanted revenge on Marilyn and on Terra Force and all of them barely\nsurvived the battle. Warrior Champion nearly lost an arm and was driven mad with\npain as she suffered intense agony to get close enough to once again kill the\ndemon. The rest of Terra Force found Steel Maiden's daughters and opened a\nportal to get them home. But when they looked back, they found the Maid of\nSecrets had been trapped in the other dimension when the doorway snapped shut.\nIt took months to find a path back to that dimension. They found Marilyn was\nstill alive, but she only survived because in her mind she had become the\nvicious bloodthirsty killer that had been her cover story. She had become the\nlie. Brought back to Earth, she wanted to kill everyone. Only Sarah had been\nable to shut the rage down and start Marilyn on a road of healing that restored\nher.
\nNow, the two women stood in one of the laboratories of the Sinister Quartet and\nwatched the four young people work on an experiment. Trevor worked at a machine\nthat pulsed with power and hummed. \"It is obvious that we have to discover some\nsort of inter-dimensional transport device so that if you ever get in that same\nmess, we won't have to wait for Terra Force to find a way to get you back. This\nshould work.\" Marilyn immeadiately thought, \"Should?\" Marla turned to her and\nsaid, \"Yes, it should.\" As usual, Marilyn had forgotten that the four could\nlisten in on her thoughts. The twin sisters, Danielle and Denise, were at the\nfar end of the room setting up a one-foot in diameter steel sphere that held\ninstruments and sensors. The four were going to use the projector to produce a\nburst of modulated energy that should send the sphere into another dimension.\nThen they would fire the unit again and the sphere would return. Marilyn was\nlooking forward to seeing if it came back in one piece. Most people looking at\nthe four young people would discount them as young geeks, but each was a prodigy\ngenius who was capable of doing amazing things. Together, the Sinister Quartet\nwere able to do what the rest of the world thought impossible. Everyone got\nbehind a heavy plexiglass shield and listened to the machinery build up in power\nfor the experiment. Trevor threw a switch and the light grew very bright and in\na flash, the sphere was gone. Marla smiled. \"It worked!. Or maybe we\ndisintegrated it...\"
\nPart Four
\nBatgirl and some of the others rounded up the henchmen and used plastic cable\nties to secure their hands behind their backs. Black Canary groaned. \"Well,\nguess we have to call the police and have these party crashers hauled away. That\nwill kind of bust up the party.\" Star Girl heard this and turned to look at\nDinah Lance. \"What! Aww, mannn! We all get together to have some fun and\nthen...\" Huntress shook her head and spoke. \"No way. We're just getting started!\nWhy not just lock them in the back room for awhile? We can call the local law in\nwhen we finish up.\" The other ladies nodded, agreeing with the impromptu plan.\nBut Batgirl broke in. \"Wait a minute. We can do that with all of the bozos\nexcept for Selina. I don't trust her and want her handcuffed in the corner so I\ncan keep an eye on her. I don't want any chance of her slipping away,\"
\nAs the party got back in the swing, drinks (mostly non-alcoholic, Becky was\nhappy to notice) and snacks were handed around, and they went back to opening\nsome of the gifts. Glory Girl asked Barbara what was coming up on the agenda.\n\"Are you going to trot a bunch of male strippers in here?\" Batgirl chuckled,\n\"Sorry, girl friend. With secret identities and stuff, we dodn't have any male\nstrippers of catering crew here at the party. Everything was set up before we\ngot here, and we figured we could relax by ourselves. We didn't ecpect the\nCatwoman to storm in!\"
\nHuntress walked over to the side and punched some buttons on a jukebox, getting\nthe tunes going. Vixen stood by her and pointed to a one-foot in diameter sphere\nthat was hanging overhead. \"What's with that?\" Huntress glanced up and laughed.\n\"Oh, when Bats and I arranged for this place, the owner said this room is used\nfor their Saturday night disco event once a month. Says he packs them in!\"\nHelena reached over to a switch alongside the jukebox and flipped it. At once\nthe disco ball, covered in mirrors and miniature lights, began to twirl and\nflash. The other ladies glanced up and some laughed at the sight. But suddenly\nthe ball began to vibrate and hum, and the light grew in intensity, becoming\ndeep red. The smiles around the room vanished, and Batgirl cried out, \"What the\nheck... Is there something wrong with it?\" With her enhanced vision\ncapabilities, Supergirl stared up at it and called out, \"It's pulsing with some\nsort of energy, and the light is wavering in the red to infra-red range. Maybe I\nbetter take it outside...\" Kara wasn't sure, but as she looked she could swear\nshe thought she saw two different spheres trying to both occupy that same spot\nnear the ceiling. Huntress, still standing by the jukebox, reached for the\nswitch once again. \"At least I can turn the damned thing off...\" But before\neither of them did what she was thinking about doing, there was a high pitched\nwhine that filled the hall. Everyone winced at the sonics, and the light grew\nextremely intense. Huntress tried to go for the switch, but it seemed that she\nsuddenly could not quite reach it.
\nThe sphere pulsed with power and a wave of energy swept out, flowing over the\nentire hall. The heroines were all stunned by the pulsations that washed their\nbodies, and stumbled backwards. Even the most powerful of their assembly, Wonder\nWoman and Supergirl, could not resist being pushed backwards by the event. All\nthe women were dazed by the energy that pulsed through their bodies, their\nminds. None of them could concentrate on her surroundings, and they didn't know\nwhat was happening and what they could do to recover.
\nRebecca was confused. Suddenly she seemed to be somewhere else. Had she been\nteleported away? She was laying on her back, naked, while a thick cloth tarp\nseemed to be covering her. It seemed like it was a huge red tent that had\ncollapsed on top of her. She shook her head and wiggled along the ground, on top\nof more of the red canvas as she tried to find a way out of this. She wondered\nhow this had happened and what had happened to her friends. The others were in a\nsimilar predicament. Laying naked under heavy layers of thick cloth, each of\nthem was confused and worried about the others. Each of them wondered where she\nhad been transported to, and thought of past opponents who may have caused this\nbizarre attack. Supergirl punched up at the canvas that covered her, but it\nwould not tear, so she pushed her way to one side, trying to find the edge of\nthe material that covered her. Batgirl slid along under the sleek blue-grey tarp\nthat covered her, detremined to get to the bottom of the situation. One heroine,\nStar Girl, trembled a little as she looked to get out of her confinement.\nCourtney Whitmore had lost all her confidence when her costume, cosmic belt and\nshaft of power vanished. She worried that she was suddenly just a scared, naked\n16 year old kid in a situation that terrified her. Catwoman was disturbed by the\nsudden change in circumstances. Where had she ended up now? She tried to slink\nalong under the purple tent that was collapsed on her. She knew that if the\nheroines were similarly effected, she had a chance to escape. Whatever was going\non would distract them just enough. And Selina was never one to waste an\nopportunity. She wiggled along under the heavy cloth that covered her, and hoped\nthis would allow her to get away. In her cloth trap, Kara finally got to the\nedge of the material. She saw the light and she got to see out from under the\nmaterial. And she was struck dumb, totally stunned by what she saw...
\nPart Five
\nIn the back room, Ryan Argent had managed to find a steak knife in a drawer and\nsaw off his bindings. He freed more of the men, and one of them had pried open a\nwindow in back. About half of the men slipped out, happy to be getting away from\nsuch a bad situation. Facing the likes of Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and\nthe others had not been suggested when they hired on with Catwoman. But as the\nrest of the men prepared to take off, the lights in the room flickered, went\nout, and after a few minutes came back to normal. The seven remaining men who\nwere there with him paused as Argent spoke. \"Something may be up in the other\nroom. I think we should check it out before we take off. It may be something we\ncan take advantage of. You guys want in?\" One of the men, called Highline by his\nbuddies, spoke up. \"We can take a look, but if those damned super bitches are\nall still in there, we are gonna book.\" So they followed Ryan as he moved to the\ndoor and picked the lock. It was easy - heroines weren't the only ones who hid\nlockpicks in their clothes. The crook opened the door a crack, peeked out into\nthe hall. then opened it wide. He was confused. The women were not out there\nanymore. He saw only their costumes scattered about, laying on the floor. The\nonly other thing of note were a handful of Barbie dolls scattered over the room.\nThen he saw a couple of the dolls move...
\nArgent sprang into the hall and reached down to grab one of the little animated\ndolls. It was a living, breathing, miniature person! He grabbed another one. He\nshouted to the other men. \"Grab them! The bitches were shrunk, and now they're\nhelpless... and worth a furtune to us!\" The other men rushed in and ran about,\ngrabbing the little figures who were still a little dazed from their\ntransformation and not able to react fast enough to escape. Hawkgirl was about\nto take flight when a man grabbed her and wrapped his fingers around her wings\nand her body. Wonder Woman stared up at the looming giants who came at her and\nshe could not shake off the befuddlement that ran through her mind fast enough\nto avoid one of the men grabbing her. She winced at the pain as the man squeezed\nher naked body. Huntress rolled under the open palm of one man who grabbed at\nher, and ran across the room. But a second man caught her. Argent held the pair\nof tiny women he'd caught, and watched the rest of the men scamper about,\ncapturing the dolls they saw. He dropped the pair he had into a large cardboard\nbox that was sitting on the gift table, and reached for another women who was\nrunning nearby. Kara still stood at the edge of her costume and shook her head\nback and forth sharply, trying to get rid of the dizziness she'd felt as soon as\nshe emerged from the clothing she'd been trapped in. She saw Big Bar... emm...\nLittle Barda scampering and trying to avoid a man's grasping hand\nunsuccessfully. Argent had bent down and grabbed the heroine, and Kara heard\nBarda squeal at the pressure on her body. Supergirl saw the women were helpless\nagainst the giants. Even Wonder Woman could do nothing since she had shrunk out\nof her belt of strength. But Kara knew, at any size, she was still super. At\nregular size, she could lift an ocean liner. Even at about one foot in height\nshe still could mop up the place with these thugs. There was one guy reaching\ndown at a tiny red-haired figure on the floor. Before he could grab Batgirl,\nSupergirl swooped up and plowed into his midsection. pushing him up and off the\nfloor and letting him fly back and crash into the wall. She turned, and flew\ntowards the one holding Barda and was going to deck this guy too, but not as\nhard. She didn't want Barda to go flying if he released her. Kara flew at Argent\nand as he saw the naked blonde doll coming at him, he instinctively put up his\nleft hand to stop her. As Supergirl got close, she suddenly felt weak, and would\nhave dropped from the air if Argent hadn't snatched her form out of midair. Ryan\nArgent held the figure who'd been flying, and he brought it up to his face to\nget a closer look. \"Supergirl! The bitch who once ruined my life! You don't look\ntoo happy, bitch. What's up?\" Kara didn't respond, but she was beginning to\nrecognize the weakness and pain running through her body. It felt like she was\nbeing exposed to kryptonite, but where was it? Argent figured it out right away.\nThe Kryptonian had been powerful until he held up his left hand in her path. His\nwatch! The hours of the dial were marked with tiny, glowing green bits of the\nrare, alien material. The tiny chips of kryptonite on the dial, normally\nharmless to Supergirl, were enough to knock out the bitch at this size. He\nwalked to the bar, where he'd seen a scissors and a roll of duct tape. He took\noff his watch, unclipped the band, and put the watch against her back. Then he\ntook a length of tape and wrapped it around her belly, attaching the deadly\nwatch to Kara tightly. He grinned as he looked at the suffering of the goddamn\ncunt who had gotten him in such trouble with Luthor. \"Payback's a bitch...\nbitch!\"
\nThe men looked about, and didn't see any other tiny women scampering about. One\nof the men gave a cheer. \"We gottem, boss!\" Argent smiled as he looked at the\nothers. They were accepting him as their leader, following his orders. It felt\ngreat! A man shouted, \"OK, we caught these things, now what did you mean when\nyou said they would be worth money to us?\" Agent smiled. \"When I started out,\nyears ago, I worked for a guy on the West Coast who dealt in white slavery. He\narranged for pretty young ladies to be snatched and moved into the harem and\nbordello market. He made really good money on it. But he once had contact with a\ncrazy old magician who took a few beauties and shrunk them to a couple of feet\ntall. I saw the auction he ran on them and the bidding was crazy. There were men\nfrom all over the world who bid, and the tiny cunts went for nearly a quarter of\na million each. There were men who would go to great lengths to have miniature\npussy. If we offer these sluts on that market, we'll all be fucking rich. Also,\nthat was for ordinary women. If we put Batgirl in a birdcage, what do you think\nthe Joker, Two-Face and Penguin will bid? You know the interest that the slavery\nnetwork has always shown for captured heroines. These ones have enemies, and\nhave been rendered helpless. Every perverted millionaire on the planet will put\nin a big bid to own Wonder Woman!\" The men nodded in agreement. One of the guys,\nholding a helpless Huntress, poked at the chest of the tiny heroine. \"And until\nwe sell them off, they are ours to play with. Hey, litle bitch, all heroines are\nsluts, you know...\" He pulled her arms over her head and held them tight with\none hand while the fingers of his other hands ran over her torso. A finger\nmassaged and prodded at her crotch and another finger rubbed and poked at her\nbreasts. She screamed at the attack and vainly wiggled, trying to get out of the\nman's grip. he chuckled in amusement. \"Shit yes, the little bitch is getting\nexcited. I can feel the fluids oozing out of her pussy.\"
\nThe other miniature victims were grabbed by men who molested them the same way.\nArgent was enjoying running his fingers over the chest and crotch of Supergirl.\nHe saw her wince and moan in pain, but he didn't poke too much. He cried out to\nthe others. \"Goddamnit, go easy on the little bitches! I told you they are worth\nbig cash to us, and that won't be the case if you fuck them up to much. Mitch,\nGreg -- gather up those costumes and pack them up. They can probably sell for\ngood money on internet auctions. And see if we have all the little cunts. Wait\n-- where is Catwoman?\" Selina was hiding under the table that held the party\ngifts. A tablecloth ran down to the floor, and the men who had looked under the\ntable in the search had failed to spot her as she cowered in the shadows by a\ntable leg. She peeked out of her hiding place and felt real terror take over\nher. She saw the horrid way the men were treating the ladies they had caught,\nand she knew it would be even worse if they got their hands on her. She had been\nrough on them, as she never was very good at handling her underlings. If Argent\ngot his hands on her... well, the tone of voice when he'd noticed she wasn't\namong the captives was nasty. She looked over to the doorway to the kitchen. If\nshe worked her way over there, she might be able to get out of the building\nand... and what? Escape to a world where she was helpless, a toy or plaything\nfor anyone who saw her? She had money, but like this she would not be able to\nget to it. And everyone she knew would sell her out to torture the little doll\nshe was. In here she was screwed. Out there would be just as bad.
\nOnly one other female was still free in the hall. After Stargirl had been zapped\nto tiny status, Courtney Whitmore had scampered in terror to cover as the men\ngrabbed the others. The sixteen year-old had never felt the confidence of the\nother heroines she worked with. The fact that she was smaller and younger than\nthem made her feel she didn't belong. Only the look of her costume and the power\ngiven her by her cosmic belt and shaft of power made her feel she was an equal\nto the other heroes. Now that she was naked, powerless, even smaller and\nthreatened by perverted giants, she was terrified out of her mind. She had\nnoticed on one end of the hall was a slightly raised platform where bands could\nset up for events that were held. It was only eight inches high, but there was a\nsmall opening in the facing and she scrambled over to duck into a hiding place.\nShe looked in the hole and saw darkness. But anything in there could not be as\nterrifying as the danger in the hall, so she scampered in, crawling through dust\nand cobwebs. She cried and trembled at her predicament.
\nPart Six
\nThey couldn't find Selina, and decided to keep playing with their toys. The goon\nnamed Mitch made a comment. \"Rich guys must be pretty perverted, guys. I mean,\nit's fun playing with the tiny twats like this, but you can't fuck something\nthis size.\" Another goon chuckled. \"Quit complaining, Mitch. It's the first time\nany broad has ever claimed your dick is too big!\" The others laughed. But\nHighline, who was molesting Dinah Lance with his fingers spoke up. \"Oh, I think\nwe can have a little more fun.\" He loosened his trousers, pulled them down, and\npulled out his limp cock. Sitting down, he pulled the heroine close to his face\nand whispered to her. Everyone heard Black Canary scream out. \"NEVER! You won't\nget that from me, you perverted sack of shit!\" But he held her tight and began\nto smack his fingers against her ass. She screamed from the painful punishment,\nand her ass grew red. Finally she relented. \"OK! I... I'll do it.\" He dropped\nthe tiny lady in his lap, and threatened her. \"Do it right or I'll take the skin\noff your butt!\" Black Canary moved to the monster cock and put her arms around\nit, then began to kiss and lick at the head. It soon grew erect by her and she\ntook a step back in horror at the size of it, as it was huge in comparison to\nher. Highline's hand came up behind her and poked at her sore ass, pushing her\ninto the cock. \"DO IT!\" Dinah hung her head for an instant, then followed\norders. She climbed up on the stiff dick and wrapped her arms and legs around\nthe trunk. She rubbed her torso against the thing, and kissed and licked at it\nas she moved. The crook leaned back and groaned in pleasure at the sensations\nhis cock was experiencing, and soon came, spraying his cum. The other men,\nhaving seen this, all began to chatter. \"Holy shit, that was great! How did you\nevery get that idea?\" Breathing hard, Highline smiled and answered. \"I've been\nto a website that is devoted to weird meta-human sex rituals. It described how\nMr. Fantastic, with his rubbery cock, fucks his wife so deep she goes crazy. It\nmentioned how the mini-bitch in the Avengers does it this way with her husband.\nThere was a description of how Scarlet Witch mesmerizes other heroes to fuck\nher. It said Superman can fuck a bitch and when he cums in her, he blows her\nbrains out.\"
\nIn the cardboard box, Rebecca snorted. \"that's not true, Superman does not...\"\nAlongside her, Barbara Gordon looked over at Glory Girl and gasped. \"Becky? You\nand Superman? When the hell did that happen?\" Rebecca looked at her best friend\nand grimaced. \"Oh, geez. I''m sorry, Babs. I meant to tell you but it was kind\nof embarrassing. And the story was so complicated...\" Their conversation was\ninterrupted as the goons grabbed up the women and began to force the captives to\ndo that same vile act. Wonder Woman was spanked over and over, but despite her\nblood red ass, she refused to do what they asked. Greg finally went to the bar,\nreached back and grabbed a glass and a bottle of scotch. \"I'll just have to get\nyou in the mood, bitch.\" He poured a glass of the stuff, took a swig, then held\nthe Amazon Princess upside down and dipped her head into the liquid. She held\nher breath as long as she could, but then she had to try to breath and drew a\nmeasure of the booze into her. She coughed, and coughed and Mitch yelled at her.\n\"You do it or you get dunked again!\" Woozy from the alcohol, she began to work\nher body over the man's cock. All the others were forced to do the vile pole\ndance for their captors, and they suffered from the misery the were subjected\nto.
\nUnder the stage platform. Courtney quaked in terror as she saw what her friends\nwere being subjected to. She couldn't do a damned thing to help them, and hiding\nin the dark she had to know that if the men had gotten their hands on her, she\nwould be going through the same hell right now. In another little hiding spot,\nSelina Kyle fumed at the horrors the women were being subjected to. They were\nher enemies only a short time ago, but now she was on their side. She wished\nthere was some way to help them. The other miniature ladies had friends who\nwould help them, and connections to people who might be able to help them resume\ntheir original size. Selina knew she had to throw her lot in with them to have\nany chance. But what could she do? Slowly, a plan formed in her mind.
\nThe men were sitting or laying about the room, being sexually satisfied by the\nbizarre ritual that Highline had shown to them. Ryan Argent lay on a couch with\nSupergirl being forced to rub his cock. It felt great, and the fact that the\nKryptonian bitch was doing it meant so much more to him! Ryan suddenly heard a\nsqueaky little voice from nearby, and he glanced down to the floor and saw\nanother little female figure, nude except for a blue cape made of gift wrap\ntissue billowing behind her. He questioned her. \"Catwoman? You didn't get away?\nWhat are you up to?\" Selina bowed, and spoke. \"I'm here because I want to be in\nyour hands, Argent. You're the one in charge, keep me just for yourself and I'll\nbe much more obedient to your wishes. I know you hate Supergirl and you hate me.\nHow would you like it if you got the cock treatment from the two of us at the\nsame time? Just for you... master!\" Argent scooped her up and dropped her into\nhis lap, alongside Kara. \"Alright, slave. If you satisfy me, you stay in my lap.\nOtherwise you get passed around for everyone to play with. Get to work,\nSupergirl isn't very active down there.\" Selina noticed that the Kryptonian lass\nwas weak, sweating, and breathing hard as she tried to massage and rub the\nmassive cock with her arms and legs. Catwoman moved over and climbed on the cock\nopposite where Kara was, and began to work on it. The efforts of the two little\nprisoners excited Argent, and he moaned with pleasure. His head went back and he\nlay there ready to enjoy the activity. But when his eyes were no longer on her,\nSelina brought out a small sliver of sharp metal she'd found on the floor and\nhidden in her makeshift cape. She reached around and cut at the tape holding the\nwatch to Supergirl. The edge of the fragment cut into the palm of her hand, and\nshe winced in pain as she tried to free the heroine. One side of the tape\nparted, and she switched to Kara's other side. She whispered to Supergirl, \"Keep\nstroking him. Don't let him look down here to see what's happening!\" Kara\nnodded, and pushed every bit of strength she had left into massaging the prick\nwith her arms and legs. Selina finally cut through the tape again and the watch\ncame free. She reached over and pulled at it, lifting it and finally flipping it\nto the side, where it dropped with a clatter to the floor. Argent moved a bit,\nbut Selina worked hard at rubbing her entire body against the man's cock, and he\nsettled back with a huge moan of pleasure. After a couple of minutes of this,\nKara whispered to the villainess, \"Drop free, and watch the fun!\" Selina slid to\nthe side and watched as Argent moved upwards and begin to scream. For Kara had\nlifted the man just with her hold on his cock and then threw him across the\nroom. She flew about, smashing into each of the other men, pummelling them until\neach was knocked out. Then she flew to the bar. She was about to grab that roll\nof duct tape when she saw an entire case of the stuff behind the bar. She\nsmiled, then took roll after roll and wrapped the hoods up until they were\ntrapped like egyptian mummies. Then she flew them into the back room and stacked\nthem up.
\nPart Seven
\nThe tiny women stumbled into the center of the hall, and they were happy that\nthey had been delivered from their torture. But they were hardly out of the\nwoods. Huntress came out and voiced their concerns. \"Thanks, Supergirl. But\nwe're still stuck as mini-people. What the hell are we gonna do to get out of\nthis mess?\" They all had somber looks on their faces as they looked about.\nWonder Woman groaned and staggered in place. She was still woozy from the dose\nof liquor she'd been forced to take in. Batgirl made a comment. \"We're still\nalive. We have to contact the JLA and hope that somebody can figure a way to\nreverse what was done to us. Oh god, do I need a bath...\" Supergirl flew in the\nkitchen and filled a small bowl with warm water, then brought it out into the\nhall. They found a clean bar rag and tore it into small pieces, then they began\nto get themselves cleaned up. They felt a little better, and wrapped pieces of\nthe rag around themselves like towels.
\nBut all of them looked up as they saw the disco sphere mounted on the ceiling\nstart to pulse and glow with energy once again. Rebecca groaned. \"Oh shit! Not\nagain! We can't afford to get any smaller!\" Supergirl lept up and flew towards\nthe unit, hoping she could tear it out and get it out of the building before\nfurther actions caused even more trouble. But as she flew closer and closer, the\nenergy radiating outwards from the sphere began to push back at her, harder and\nharder. She reached it, but as she pressed her hands against the sphere, she\ncould barely get a grip on it. It was pushing her back, and she was losing her\nstrength. Hawkgirl flew up to try and help, then noticed something. When the\nenergy pulse from the sphere had shrunk the women, the glow had been red to\ninfra-red. Now it seemed to be glowing purple to ultra-violet, the opposite end\nof the light spectrum. Hawkgirl had a hunch, and she thought it was worth a\ngamble. She swooped over near the juke box and flipped the switch for the lights\nin the ball. As the little lights on it came on, it began to shudder and whine\nas it had done before. All the little heroines on the floor held their breath\nand stared up at the gizmo.
\nThen another burst of light and energy radiated from the sphere. Supergirl and\nHawkgirl were knocked out of the air and the other ladies were pushed back from\nwhere they stood. Again they were scattered about the hall, dazed. Each of them\ntried to get her senses back, and wondered if she was now only a inch or two\ntall. Rebecca had her eyes closed from the throbbing in her head as she rolled\non her hands and knees and struggled to get up. She cried out and winced as she\ncracked her head on the underside of the table. She hadn't realised she'd rolled\nunder it. That damn thing caught her on the back of her head and it hurt like\nhell... but then she opened her eyes and saw the table was normal sized to her!\nShe looked about and saw the other women, all groaning and trying to get up.\nThey too reacted with joy as they saw they'd been restored to their original\nsize. Becky dashed over to Barbara and threw her arms around her friend. They\nsmiled, not knowing what to say at such a moment. Becky turned and saw Kara, and\nmoved to hug her also. Barbara turned to someone and locked her arms around the\nwoman, murmuring, \"Oh god, we made it!\" Babs suddenly noticed that the person\nshe was embracing was Selina Kyle! She jumped back, and yelled, \"Selina! You are\ngoing to jail for what you've done this time! You won't get away...\" But\nSupergirl put her hand on Barbara''s shoulder. \"Batgirl, she risked a lot to\nhelp me. Those little bits of kryptonite were hurting me so bad they might have\nkilled me. If not for her, none of us would have been freed. When the light show\ncame up again, the men probably would have pulled us out and we would still be\ntheir little prisoners. We owe her our freedom.\" Glory Girl spoke up. \"Can we\nlet her go, just this once, Batgirl? Don't you think she deserves it?\" Barbara\nwas stunned. She stared at Rebecca, then over at Kara and all of the others. She\ncould see they all were in favor of this. So she slumped her head and sighed.\n\"OK, Selina. We'll let you go. But I'm only giving you a day's headstart. If I\nsee or hear of you after 24 hours pass, I'll be coming after you!\" Selina looked\nup. \"That sounds fair. I\"m sure we...\" But Wonder Woman and the others had found\nthe boxes that held their clothes and gear, and the Amazon Princess had come\nback with her golden lasso. She flipped a loop over Catwoman's neck and spoke to\nthe villainess. \"Catwoman, you will forget the faces of the ones here you saw\nwithout their masks. I don't want you to figure out who Batgirl and Glory Girl\nreally are!\" Catwoman stood still, mezmerized while the women redonned their\ncostumes and masks. Then Selina put on her outfit and walked towards the door.\nShe stopped, turned back to the gathering, and smiled. \"Well, Batgirl. It's been\nfun. You really know how to throw one hell of a party.\" Then she was gone. Vixen\nglanced down into the box that had held the costumes and noticed some gear still\nin there. She recognized the blue top and shorts. \"Hey, what happened to\nStargirl? I haven't seen her since we got shrunk.\" Black Canary grimaced. \"Oh\nno! If she got out of the building, she may be out there someplace still a foot\nhigh!\" A voice came from one end of the hall. \"No, I'm... I'm down here. But I'm\nstuck!\" They all looked about, wondering where the voice was coming from, but\nSupergirl's extra vision powers allowed her to see the girl still under the\nstage platform, but now at full size and pinned in place by the supports. \"I\nheard you capture the men, but I was too frightened to come out. Then when I was\nfinally about to, the flashing sphere made me dive back in here, where I banged\nmy head and knocked myself out. When I woke at normal size, I was stuck here!\"\nSupergirl peeled part of the platform away to free Courtney, and Stargirl\nbrushed most of the dirt and cobwebs off herself before grabbing her costume and\nputting it on. After she did, she moved to Supergirl's side and looked over.\nThen she sighed. She was still the shortest. She had really hoped that when the\ngizmo enlarged her, it would have given her an extra inch or two!
\nBlack Canary used the phone to call the cops, and Rebecca finished opening the\ngifts while they waited for the police to arrive. She packed up the stuff she'd\ngotten and went around to thank everyone for coming to her party. She and\nBatgirl packed the gifts in a couple of duffel bags and went to tie them to the\nback of their bikes. But when the got outside, Glory Girl's motorcycle stood\nalone where they had parked. They looked about, and Rebecca asked, \"Babs, where\nthe hell is your bike?\" Batgirl got extremely agitated, and shouted. \"GODDAMN\nIT! SHE STOLE MY BIKE!\"
\nFar off, on that very distant world, the Sinister Quartet looked up to see the\nresults of their experiment. The sphere had returned. Daniele looked over the\ntelemetery and tried to make sense of the readings. \"Did we get the return\nsignal out to the sphere? It seemed like it had gone far beyond where we could\nkeep it touch with it.\" Trevor looked at his monitors. \"No, I think the signal\nnever reached it. But the sphere had a back-up system in it that was set to\nautomatically power up a reverse energy pulse to return it here even if it\ndidn't get our signal. How are the recording units inside it? Can we figure out\nexactly how far it went?\" Marla had trouble getting the access plate off,\nbecause the outer surface was pitted, dented and really beat up. Finally it\npopped loose. \"No good. The stuff inside is all totally fried. No records of\nanything about the trip this thing made.\" Trevor cursed. \"Oh, damnit! All this\ntrouble and we don't know how far it went or if it encountered anything or\nanybody out there.\" Marla, who was examining the outer surface suddenly gasped.\n\"Oh my... I think we can be sure it ran into something... or somebody. Look!\"\nThe Quartet assembled by the sphere, and Sarah and Marilyn came over to also get\na look. All of them were surprised to see the tiny handprints that some\nminiature person had pressed right into the tempered steel of the sphere's\nsurface!
\n---< Author's Note >---
\nThis chapter of the adventures of Glory Girl was inspired by the Officer Dolly\nstories done by Skytower at the story pages of Scarlet's Sanctum. I have long\nenjoyed that series of adventures of the wonderfully crafted character. I\ndecided to do an adventure where Glory Girl and others would be subjected to the\nperils of miniaturization, and in doing so I decided to borrow the world of\nOfficer Dolly, the Mystery Woman, and use a mangled version of her story as a\nchapter in this tale. I made the origin of the energy that shrinks the ladies\ncome from a far-off world where Officer \"Molly\" exists. If any of you have not\nyet read the Officer Dolly series, go and do so now!
\nI am very interested in hearing from you readers about how you feel about my\nstories. Please e-mail me at therat4040@yahoo.com and tell me your opinions.\nAlias the Rat 11/08
\nA little bonusGlory Girl story...
\nEpisode 10A: The Fan
\nby Alias the Rat
\nRebecca had taken part of the morning to do some shopping. She returned a few\nthings she'd gotten at the party the evening before, and took just a quick look\nthrough the stores at wedding gowns. Just doing this for a short while made her\ndizzy. They were all so beautiful. She could hardly imagine seeing herself in\nsuch a wonderful gown. As she zipped home on her motorcycle, she got a cell\nphone call from Barbara. She pulled over to the curb to take it. Babs called to\nlet Becky know that she'd gotten her bike back. Selina had borrowed it and left\nit parked in front of a police station in Gotham, where Batgirl was sure to get\nword of where it was. Apparently Catwoman had only taken it to irritate Batgirl.\nShe must have decided if Babs was going to act as if she would not forgive\nSelina for the past, all bets were off. Batgirl said she would be spending the\nday scouring Gotham for her nemesis. Becky chuckled, and wished her friend good\nluck. Getting her bike rolling again, Becky was looking forward to showing Mom\nthe clothes she'd gotten in exchange for the returned gifts. She pulled into her\nstreet and approached her house when she screeched to an abrupt halt.
\nShe looked over at her driveway and her heart sank. This was bad. No, worse than\nbad. There was a car in the driveway, and it had Arkansas plates. That meant\nAunt Lisa and Uncle Bob were in town. She was her Dad's sister, and she'd\nmarried the fellow and moved to the Ozarks to live on a farm and grow ginseng.\nEvery so often they came up to visit and nit-pick the Hoopers and point out\neverything the family was doing wrong. Lisa would point out that her brother\nshould have gotten a better job. They would point out how Pat should have\nmarried one of other girls he knew in high school, instead of Donna, who was a\nvery nice person, for someone who was just a plain old housewife and not really\nthat good a cook. All of these comments were the result of the visitors being\ntotally unaware of the dual lives the Hoopers had lived. They didn't know that\nPat was the famous masked hero, Mr. Patriot, and that the boring housewife he\nwas married to was actually the Shady Lady, famous and beloved heroine of\nGranite City for many years until she retired after getting married. Growing up,\nthey thought Rebecca was too skinny, too loud, too everything compared to their\ngirl, Amy Sue. The only good thing about their visits was that the last couple\nof trips, Amy Sue didn't come with them.
\nRebecca sat on her bike in the street not really wanting to go into the house.\nMaybe she could go over to Arnie's and stay for a day or two... Then her phone\nrang. When she answered it, she found it was Mom. \"Becky, I heard your bike\ncoming up the street, and when I looked out, I saw you parked out there. Get in\nhere!\" \"Oh, Mom, I don't want to see them! Can't you just say I'm in the\nhospital?\" \"They would want to come visit you...\" \"Tell them I'm terribly\ncontagious!\" Donna Hooper's voice grew icy. \"Young lady! They were in Gotham for\na convention of ginseng farmers and wanted to stop by and visit. When they heard\nthat you were engaged, they really wanted to see you. Get in here!\" Becky\nsighed, and parked her bike. Then she reluctantly walked in the front door. Her\naunt and uncle were in the living room with Becky's parents, and Aunt Lisa came\nover and threw her arms around her niece. She hugged tight and spoke with\nenthusiasm. \"Of Beck, we're so happy about your news! Your parents say the\nfellow is a real nice boy with prospects. You must be very happy!\" Becky smiled\nand nodded.
\nA voice came from behind her, and Rebecca looked around to see her cousin on the\nstairs. \"Hey, ReeBee! I'm looking forward to meeting your fiance. He sounds\nreally sweet!\" Becky greeted her cousin. \"Hi, Amy Sue. It's been a while, how\ncome you didn't stay home this trip? Just felt like you'd like to see the big\ncity again?\" Amy nodded. \"Yeah, I wanted to see the sights and do some shopping\nup here. And I really wanted to see you, girl!\" The six of them sat in the\nliving room and began to chat about life on both sides of the family. The\nvisitors spoke of the convention and about how the farm was doing back home. The\nHoopers gave a highly sanitized version of the past year's events. They could\nnot mention anything about the activities of Mr. Patriot, Shady Lady or Glory\nGirl in the recent past, but did go over the enchanted necklace and how Becky\nand Donna had suddenly found themselves in the position of priestesses to a\nnative american diety. Bob, Lisa and Amy Sue were stunned and fascinated by the\nstory, and asked for more and more details. Donna and Lisa went into the kitchen\nto put together something for lunch, with her aunt mentioning that she would\nhave to get some cookbooks for Rebecca as an engagement present. \"Your beau will\nbe happiest if you show him you're a good cook. The way to a man's heart is\nthrough his stomach, they say!\" Becky groaned, then suddenly realised that she\nwasn't very good at cooking, and wondered if Arnie might assume she was. Maybe a\nfew cooking lessons wouldn't be a bad idea. Once they were married, they\ncouldn't live on pizza.
\nAt lunch, in the midst of more conversation, it was brought up that the visitors\ncould stay one night before they had to get back to the farm. They had just\nplanned a quick trip up to Gotham for the convention of ginseng growers to check\non new techniques for their operation. Amy Sue had asked to come along and\ninsisted they swing over to Granite City long enough to visit Uncle Pat and Aunt\nDonna. That puzzled Becky, as the past couple of trips, her cousin had insisted\nshe had too much going on at home to accompany her folks to visit. Amy asked her\ncousin, \"ReeBee, you think we could do a little running around town this\nafternoon? I'd like a chance to see the sights.\" Becky reluctantly agreed, and\nthey took Amy's bag upstairs to Becky's room to unpack.
\n\"So, Amy, how is your boyfriend? Any plans to get serious?\" Rebecca's question\nbrought an unhappy reaction as Amy sighed and had a miserable frown. \"That's all\nover. I found that turd in a compromising situation with Marla Cochrane one\nafternoon. They were in the barn with his hand where no man's hand awughta be!\"\nBecky was shocked, and felt sorry for Amy. \"In her blouse?\" Amy made a face.\n\"No, she didn't have any top on when I got there. And his hand was due south of\nher hooters!\" Becky groaned. \"Oh, geez, Amy, that's terrible. Sorry to hear\nabout it.\" \"Yeh, I got hotter'n a lady should, and kicked him right in the balls\nbefore I stormed out of there. Which is one reason why I wanted to come with my\nfolks on this trip. You know, ReeBee, I see you still have that poster of Wonder\nWoman on the wall. I... I guess I should apoligize for teasing you about that\nwhen you were a kid. It wasn't right for me to do that. Nowadays, I'm become a\nbig fan of a new lady on the hero scene, and I've got her pictures on the walls\nin my room.\" Becky found this interesting. A new heroine? Hmmm. Stargirl had\nonly been in the spotlight for about a year. That was probably who Amy was...\nHer cousin interrupted Rebecca's train of thought. \"She's an inspiration to me.\nI joined her fan club and I worked my way up to regional vice president of the\nsociety. When Mom and Dad said they were coming to Gotham for a couple of days,\nI talked them into bringing me along and making a side trip to Granite City. I\nreally want a chance to see her in the flesh. Maybe I might even get a chance at\nGlory Girl's autograph!\" Becky was stunned! Amy Sue was a big fan of Glory Girl\nwithout even knowing she was a close relative of the heroine!
\nBecky hopped on her motorcycle and Amy Sue climbed on the back. \"We'll go around\ntown and do some shopping. I don't know if you'll see Glory Girl. I live here\nand... I've never even seen her.\" Amy Sue groaned. \"Shoot. If you haven't seen\nher, what are the chances I might in my little visit. I didn't even get an\nanswer from my fan mail letter I sent her.\" Becky felt bad when she heard that.\nIn the house, down in the basement were a couple of bags of mail sent to Glory\nGirl that she had been putting off going through. If half of those letters were\nfrom people who were fans like Amy Sue, she really should take care of that.\nThey stopped at a mall, and the girls went from store to store looking over\nclothes and accessories.
\nAs they rode towards a mall on the other side of town, they heard sirens nearby.\nBecky pulled over as a fire department ladder truck rolled by. They looked over\nand saw smoke pouring out of a multi-story apartment building several blocks\naway. Rebecca wondered if there was anything Glory Girl could do to help, but\nthen worried how she could slip away from Amy. As she thought about that, Amy\nlept off the back of the bike and ran towards the fire. \"She might be there! See\nyou later!\" Given this opportunity, Becky ducked in an alley and donned the red\nand blue costume and tri-colored mask of Glory Girl. She lept to the roof of the\nbuilding next to that alley and jumped from roof to roof until she was across\nthe street from the building engulfed in flames. Some of the fireman were aiming\nhoses and spraying water on an attached building to the north, as the fire was\nspreading that way. Looking down at the street, she saw the fireman holding back\na women who was trying to run inside. She screamed that her little girl was\nstill up there. Becky looked about and saw a child standing inside one of the\nfifth floor windows. The little one was banging on the window pane, unable to\nget it open. None of the firefighters seemed to have seen the child, so Glory\nGirl braced her legs and jumped across to land on the fire escape near that\nwindow. It was stuck, so she signaled the child to back up and kicked out to\nsmash the glass. Becky reached in and grabbed the little girl, and was going to\ntake her to safety when she sobbed and cried out, \"No! Mr. Whiskers is still in\nthere! Please! You have to save him!\" Glory Girl listened, and she faintly heard\na creature meowing in the apartment. Putting the girl down on the fire escape,\nshe told her, \"Stay here and don't move! The firefighters will come for you.\"\nThen Rebecca stepped though the window, being careful not to touch the broken\nglass. She looked about, but the smoke was getting thick. Then she heard the cat\nonce again, and scooped it up. It wiggled a bit, but heroine and feline got back\nout on the fire escape quickly, Rebecca handed the cat to the girl, who began to\nchatter a lot of gratitude. Becky smiled and sneezed. Still allergic to pets,\nshe admitted. She grabbed hold of the child and cat and leapt down from the fire\nescape to the street, and passed the girl to her teary mother, who also was\nstammering as she tried to thank the heroine. Becky's eyes stung as a batch of\nsmoke swept down into the street. She looked up and saw flames were starting to\nshoot out of the window she'd been at. Wow, that had been close! And then she\nsneezed again.
\nShe moved down the street, stopping for handshakes from the firemen who thanked\nher for the assistance. As she reached the barricades, a couple of reporters\nasked her about the rescue, and many other people were shouting for an\nautograph. Glory Girl heard a voice that was familiar, and she turned to find\nherself face to face with... Amy Sue! Her cousin has holding out a Sharpie pen\nand a copy of Amazing Super-Heroines Monthly that had a great color photo of\nGlory Girl on the cover. Amy stammered, \"Ca... ca... can I have an autograph?\"\nBecky panicked. What if her cousin recognized her? She quickly turned the other\nway and moved down the street. Behind her, Amy Sue's face sank as her hero wlked\naway. Amy tried to move down the barricade to try again to get her attention,\nbut someone else trying for an autograph knocked Amy aside. Her pen flew from\nher hands and the cover of the magazine was torn in half. Amy bent down to get\nthe pen, and by the time she stood up, Glory Girl was gone. Becky changed back\nfrom her costume and was at the bike when Amy returned. Rebecca looked over at\nher cousin and asked, \"Did you see her? You sure were lucky that we happened...\"\nBut Amy looked miserable and there was a tear running down her cheek. \"I was so\nclose... I thought I could get an autograph, or at least shake her hand... but\nshe just ignored me and turned away. Like I was nuttin.\" Becky asked her cousin\nif she wanted to do any more shopping, but Amy only wanted to go back to the\nHooper house. \"I wanna take a shower. I smell of the smoke. Wow, ReeBee, so do\nyou.\" Becky thought fast. \"Yes, I was over in the crowd too, trying to see Glory\nGirl. The wind pushed that smoke right into us.\"
\nAt home, the cousins sat in Rebecca's room while she tried to cheer Amy up. But\nAmy poured out a litany of miseries. \"Oh, ReeBee, why can't I be as lucky as\nyou. You were always so pretty, so well liked. You were a cheerleader in high\nschool, you have a nice boyfriend who is going to marry you. I had one boyfriend\nwho stabbed me in the back, I finished my schooling to be a dental tech only to\nfind out the economy is so bad I can't get a job. I find somebody I really\nadmire and she didn't even want to look at me.\" Becky was stunned to hear that\nher cousin had been envious all this time. \"Well, you don't know that. Maybe she\njust had to hurry off to some other emergency.\" Becky suddenly sneezed. \"Oops,\nsorry.\" Amy responded. \"Bless you, darlin'. You mind if I just lay down up here\nand rest for awhile?\" Becky nodded, then went downstairs and looked over the\nmorning paper. After a few minutes, she had a thought and went down into the\nbasement where she opened a bag of the fan mail. Flipping through it, she found\nthe letter from her cousin. \"Dear Glory Girl: I am really a big fan of yours and\nlike the way you try to help people. I am in your fan club and hope to see you\nwhen I visit Granite city next week. I will be staying with my Uncle Pat Hooper\nwho is a retired police officer. I hope he will have many interesting stories\nabout you. Bestest, Amy Sue Lockhart.\" Becky read the short note over and over,\nand began to realize for the first time how devoted some of her fans were. Then\nshe got up, and glanced at the clock. She had to run to the mall for something\nonce more before dinner. At dinner, Amy Sue felt a little better, and the three\nvisitors were all happy to meet Arnie. Aunt Lisa had whipped up a dinner of her\ngreat home-made lasagna that her brother really liked, and Becky noticed Arnie\nalso raved over it and had three huge portions. Well, if he liked it that much,\nshe resolved she was going to have to get Aunt Lisa to show her exactly how it\nwas made.
\nNext morning, the trio were getting their bags together and carrying them out to\nthe car when a panel van pulled up. The driver popped out and walked to the\ngroup. \"Hi. I'm delivering something for an Amy Sue Lockhart.\" The cousin walked\nover, and the delivery man handed her a long mailing tube. When she opened it,\nshe screamed. \"Momma! Daddy! LOOK!' She unrolled a huge life-sized poster of\nGlory Girl. Along the bottom was written, \"Best wishes to a really big fan of\nmine. GLORY GIRL!\" Rolled in the poster had been a small note. Amy snatched it\nup and read. \"Oh, wow! She said she couldn't stop by to shake my hand, but since\nI said in my fan letter I was gonna be at the Patrick Hooper residence, she\nwanted to send me this!\" Now very cheered up. the families hugged all around as\nUncle Bob was itching to leave. He spoke, \"Well, Pat, it was really nice to see\nyou again. But I gotta long drive. Got some info at the convention that's gonna\nreally improve my crop yield next year.\" Amy embraced Becky and whispered in her\near. \"Thanks for the poster, ReeBee.\" Becky whispered a denial. \"What? I didn't\nsend that to you, Glory Girl did!\" Amy chuckled. \"I know. But in thinking things\nover last night, I remembered a few details. Yesterday you smelled of smoke a\nlot worse than I did. And I still recall the time I brought Topsy along on a\ntrip out here. You were sneezing and sneezing until we put him out in a cage in\nthe garage. Glory Girl sneezed the same way after rescuing that cat. And then\nyou did.\" Becky leaned back, and the two cousins smiled at each other. Amy held\nup her hand with a couple of fingers crossed. \"It'll be our secret, ReeBee.\"
\n---< Author's Note >---
\nWhat's this little tale doing here? Well, in re-using famous bits from comics\nand comic history, I thought of the old secret identity sub-plot and how hard\ncomic book characters fight to keep their secrets. In another vein, I wanted to\nestablish a little backround about Becky's close relatives. And just family in\ngeneral for a costumed super-heroine. Also, I wanted to cover the question of\nwhat heroes do with fan mail.
\nI am very interested in hearing from you readers about how you feel about my\nstories. Please e-mail me at therat4040@yahoo.com and tell me your opinions.\nAlias the Rat 11/08
