Title: Heroine origin
Subject : Sapphire
Source: Induction Interview 5/6/96 \

Hi, my name is Tamara Havens and I guess I better say something about myself and why I’m here now. Well I had a totally normal childhood and adolescence, but my life totally changed at nineteen when I was away on my first university geology course dig in the hills to the North of Kensington. I was there prospecting the hills when I unearthed a pure blue sapphire, it was absolutely perfect. I was just standing there all alone holding this fully cut and polished gem in my hand wondering; one, how my classmates had been able to plant it without me seeing them and two, when they were going to jump out on me shouting ‘fooled you’. I was just standing waiting when I started to feel some strong vibrations course through my body.

The tremors were strong but the really crazy thing was that the hand holding the sapphire was being slowly forced up to my forehead. I couldn’t stop it but was getting pretty scared by the whole deal. The sapphire was being rammed against my forehead by my own damned hand. I screamed out for help as I felt the gem forcing itself into my skull feeling bone dissolve as the gem pushed against it. This was the end I thought, nobody around nobody to help, bye bye Tam, the end !. I figured I was dying as I saw the ground rush up into my face, but I guess I only fell unconscious from the pain and shock.

Well by the time I woke it was nite-time and pretty dark in the hills but I could see OK because of this eerie blue light coming from my head, seriously weird. At nineteen with a strong sense of personal grooming I took out my mirror from my tote bag and looked at my reflection. Wow, I had this third eye type thing only this one was glowing blue. ‘Headlamp head’ I could just hear the name, my social life was going to be a disaster from now on. Now I admit I wasn’t thinking straight, but after my day who would be. Anyway carefully touching the stone with my fingers I tried to get it out of my head but it wouldn’t budge, it seemed to be fused into my skull, I was stuck with it.

I was feeling OK apart from the light, in fact I was feeling great. No I mean really really great, strong, fresh, more alive than I ever had felt before, maybe some fringe benefits?. I wiped the back of my wrist across my forehead to catch some sweat and BAMM no more light, plus I felt flat suddenly powerless. Checking in the mirror no glowing gem just a normal forehead, now I promise you I’ve never done drugs, but I was beginning to wonder what was happening. So I did it again and wiped my forehead with the wrist. Back with the light and after a split second feeling like my stomach was leaving my body, I was back feeling great. I tried the on and off thing several times, worked every time. Great so I could impersonate a bedside lamp.

Well I had to get out of the hills so I set out walking, I realised after a few paces I’d left my bag on a rock, I didn’t want to go back but was just turning round when POW my bag just leapt into my hand from twenty five feet away, something seriously strange was up with me. Getting back to base camp was a dream I seemed to be walking on air. Actually I was, six inches above the ground to be exact. As I made out the tents I decided to do the wrist across the forehead trick, I didn’t want to share any of this yet. Anyway out went the light and, damn, down I came falling all of six inches, twisting my ankle about 20 yards from safety. My class mates came out to save me from hobbling the last few feet, where the hell had they been earlier, and started to fuss and complain over me.

I couldn’t explain what had happened, well could you?, so I didn’t try I just let them go on about the poor food intake of young girls coupled with their periods (pardon me!) leading to fainting spells and went to sleep around the fire. I had some really strange dreams over the next few weeks more or less laying out the powers the stone gave me. Basically with the gem glowing in my forehead I could fly, the six inches above the ground thing was only for beginners, but as I found out learning was painful. I could protect myself and others, if they were close enough, with a force field that certainly worked against bullets, knives and the like. I could move objects about at will, it takes a lot of practice to get it working right though. Oh and neatest of all I can blow things up, well actually I can focus energy through my hands. I go all the way from mild heating, suitable for drying small wet kittens and getting them all nice and warm; to making holes in buildings. I had to practice long and hard to get those power levels right.

I said all this needed practice but never explained how I got it. Well I started by playing about like any teenager, throwing objects up and around. OK so I put a car on a roof, but I got it down again. This sort of behaviour got noticed and luckily by the right sort of people, good kind people, in fact the Megapolis Superheroines mainly Ultra Woman, let Tania find rest wherever she is, and Amber. They taught me how to use my powers and how to help others. It took about six months before I could control my powers and another six before they’d let me go solo on the streets to fight crime but I made it and now I’m proud to take my place amongst the superheroines of Megapolis as Sapphire.

Title: Fitness Evaluation Report:

Subject: Sapphire aka Tamara Havens

Source: Dr. Brent Cardhue, Unit psychologist

I was called to evaluate the behaviour of the subject after she had been rescued from criminal elements led by Silver Sorceress. Her physical injuries (SHU 004765/C453/98-1) although severe were no longer life threatening, and were being adequately attended to by Dr Mycroft and her team. My remit was to determine if the subject could make a sufficient recovery after her multiple rape and torture experience to continue her crime fighting career.

It was apparent that the psychological trauma of capture and the extensive abuse she had suffered had taken a significant toll on her. She had clearly been effectively brain washed by the Silver Sorceress, during her period in captivity, though a mix of magical and psycho-sexual techniques. It is believed that the subject was forced to act as a slave satisfying the various twisted sexual requirements found within the Sorceress’s gang. These multiple rape experiences being used to re-enforce the psycho-sexual conditioning effectively turning Sapphire into a plaything of the Sorceress, unable to exercise her free will.

However the most significant factor preventing her recovery is the blame she attaches to herself for the disappearance of Ultra Woman. Having being forced, by her conditioning, to take part in Ultra Woman’s capture and subsequent torture her feelings of guilt are considerable. Initially it appeared to me that these feelings were considerably more than those expected between co-workers, even allowing for the relatively supportive relationships between superheroines. After further investigation it appeared that the two women shared a close physical, sexual and emotional relationship. It is my opinion that this lesbian bonding, coupled with the unexplained loss of Ultra Woman and Sapphire’s own actions in those events is currently unbalancing the subject.

I recommend a cycle of corrective hypnosis to erase her memory of selective incidents, shielding the young woman from her recollection of past events. I also believe mild hypnotherapy should be taken to increase her heterosexual urges in a attempt to reshape her life, preventing her dwelling further on her experiences with Ultra Woman.

[Action Approved Garawski, Chief]

My corrective therapy has completely revived the Subject. The totally introverted victim persona of two months ago has been replaced by a dramatic almost excessive extrovert. Physical improvements are obvious in terms of deportment and training readiness. Her confidence levels are admirable and she requests return to active status on regular intervals.

There is one aspect I have a concern about relating to her new choice of costume. She has totally redesigned her uniform and while it appears to reflect her new persona I feel it contains elements of an overtly erotic style favoured by Silver Sorceress. This could suggest a potentially dangerous retention of memory and I request further time to ensure all the Silver Sorceress’s conditioning has been adequately removed.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

CHAPTER 1: To Protect and Serve

I was strolling down the main steps from the geophysics department, going across campus to the cafeteria when I heard Bob call out my name.

“Tam hold up, let’s go and get a coffee together”.

Not exactly the most original pick up line, but to be honest as he’d used a much better one five months ago and I’d been with him ever since, he just didn’t need to try that hard. We walked across campus hand in hand, I occasionally nuzzled against his shoulder, he’s 6’4” to my 5’10 so I fit on him really neatly. We got to the cafeteria and went in for a coffee and chocolate Danish, the high point of my day.

We settled down with some other post docs and started to scheme about the weekend, we planned to go dancing down at the ‘New Moon’ club on Saturday nite and just stay on till they kicked us out sometime on Sunday. I was going to have to be a little careful as to time as I was on superheroine patrol from 6 p.m. on Sunday together with Shadowgirl, making sure the weekend closed peacefully across Megapolis.

I tried to ration out my time between my crime fighting, Bob, my job at the University, Bob, my social life, and Bob. To be honest everything was just a little hectic and as I could be called out as Sapphire to handle any emergency at any time, that part of my life hit into all the other carefully separated parts. But then again it is really tough to be a superheroine and try to maintain a ‘normal life’.

We broke the group meeting up after fifteen minutes to get back to work. Bob walked me back to my lab before going back to his building. I think he’s really sweet making sure I’m safe. It would really depress him to find out I was a superheroine and could look after him so much better than he could ever manage to look after me but then again that was my secret and he’d never find out. On the way back we made a date for later on in the evening at my house I knew Bob was planning his standard seduction routine: wine, pizza and bed, personally I didn’t need the pizza or even the wine when he was around but it was nice to be coaxed into these things.

I was sorting out a set of rock deposits from the Nile delta in Egypt, trying to put them into a geo-chronological order when I remembered I needed to go to the bank to pay in my rent, my building’s owner was a reasonable guy, except where money was concerned. So I hurried out of the Lab and made across campus to my branch of the Bank of Megapolis, just outside the University complex. I figured I could just make it back and finish with the rock chronology before I had to break off in the afternoon to meet with Allyson McAuliff, better known as the superheroine Lightning at the Haven.

Just as I rounded the corner leading from the park up to the bank there was a commotion outside on the sidewalk. I saw a bunch of customers try to run out of the bank before they were pulled back in by some neanderthal with a gun. I ducked back round the corner and flattened against the wall. This was clearly a situation that needed resolving, I recognised the guy with the gun he was pretty unstable but the rest of his gang were like animals. In their previous robberies most of the women hostages had been groped big time and one woman had been kidnapped and then gang raped before she’d been freed.

Running back into the park I quickly ducked behind a row of trees and stripped out of my regular work day clothes of jacket, blouse and jeans revealing my new costume. I had had to dispense with my old Sapphire velvet dress costume as it was just not me any more and was taking me way too long to get ready for action, dangerously slowing down my response time. My new costume, although being very minimal, allowed me to change in an instant. My record from outdoor clothes to fully costumed superheroine was twenty seconds, though that was a little rough on blouse buttons, so I usually took about thirty seconds to complete the change.

My new costume was basically a pair of blue lycra bikini briefs with two lengths of material extending up from the front panel which crossed over and contained my breasts, almost like sashes, before fastening firmly behind my neck. I also had a red utility belt containing a miniature comlink for calling the police after I had rounded up any bad guys. My gloves and lovely velvet boots had gone in the makeover being replaced by thin soled red boots made of a durable material called ‘polydure’ it was meant to be real strong, temperature resistant and waterproof, time would see if it was.

While fishing into my tote bag for my much compressed boots and belt I wiped my hand across my forehead activating the latent power of the Sapphire, preparing for my full transformation. I felt the usual tingling all over and the slight dip in the pit of my stomach as the power of the stone flowed into me, slightly altering my stance and appearance, at least it meant I didn’t have to wear a mask to disguise my identity. As the stone became visible in my forehead and grew in brightness I felt the elemental energy course around me empowering both my body and my mind. As the transformation effect eased off I hurriedly slipped on my belt and boots and made my plans for dealing with the robbers.

In any robbery situation the one thing you had to do was get the robbers away from their victims so I couldn’t try a direct assault on the doors without endangering lives. I was just starting to use my comlink to inform the police when I saw the gang bundle out of the bank dragging a screaming woman and several bags of money with them to a waiting car. As the car sped off I dashed over to the bank and checked inside. No one seriously injured, but the bastards had obviously groped several of the women present judging by the torn blouses and sobbing faces I saw in my brief visit.

I had to leave them and the bank to the police my job was to catch the crooks in the car before they could hurt the woman with them. I raced outside and took off into the air, angling my flight along the road the car escaped down, it was heading into Zwicken no surprises there. I quickly spotted the car racing through the crowded streets, tailing it from above as it weaved into a backstreet area, the ‘Hells Kitchen’ of North Zwicken. I had been following for about five minutes when suddenly the car pulled a sharp left into an alley and sped through an open door, which was rapidly shut hiding the car from view. I landed silently by the door and peaked through a window into the garage beyond. The gang was piling out of the car, there were four of them, the woman had been pushed out first and now lay sprawled on the floor, sobbing, the gang members surrounding her, at least two of the animals rubbing at their crotches and laughing.

When I had last seen her being dragged out of the bank she had looked very stunning, wearing a neat two piece suite in peach, although the jacket was open and the blouse ripped revealing her matching bra. I could imagine her terror during the brief minutes of her journey in the car trapped with the men being manhandled stripped and groped as now she had no jacket, blouse or bra, her breasts only being covered by her arm, in an attempt to protect herself. The skirt had also gone with her peach colored panties being shredded about her waist while her pantyhose were ripped from crotch to foot. The animals had even brutalised her by sticking a dildo into her. She had been violently assaulted, demeaned and undoubtedly was now about to be raped. Well no one was going to do that to any other woman on my watch. I blew the door with an energy discharge and burst in landing just behind the tallest of the would be rapist-robbers.

With some crooks you can go easily but there are some where you just have to act in the extreme. So I have this constant law enforcement problem either I blow people into piles of ash, tempting in this case, or else I have to do the fighting thing, it was going to have to be the fighting thing again.

“Time to say good bye, scum” I snarled as I slammed my foot in between the legs of the hood in front of me dropping him like a stone, wish I could have seen his face. I punched out at the same time catching the guy on my left just behind his ear and sending him reeling. I did a rapid turn in the air and started to kick out at the guy on my right when I realised my left boobie had managed to escape from under my sash. My intended target was clearly impressed as I saw his expression change from fear, to amazement, to lust all in a few seconds. I landed and did a quick tuck and tidy job before I continued, I’m just not the sort of girl who runs into battle breasts bared.

Now sometimes I get myself in difficulties fighting, generally when I stack up problems, this was one of those times. My momentum had been broken while hiding my boobies and all in all I knew I should have retreated and regrouped but sometimes when I fight I get carried away and then I get careless, first problem. Now the second problem was related to my confidence, over confidence that is. Although I can fly and do a whole variety of really neat destructive stuff, blowing the door etc., as well as a variety of telekinesis I am not the possessor of super strength or invulnerability To be honest I train and I train hard in all the fighting arts and I can easily take on four or five strong men and walk away leaving them much the worst for wear but the confidence it gives me sometimes is pretty dangerous as well.

Anyway I ploughed on into the gang jumping over the woman to take on the uninjured members of the gang. That was my third problem I forgot I missed on one of my first targets and I forgot whoever closed the door. I was just squaring up to take out the ‘last’ gang member when I was grabbed round the waist, my arms trapped down to my sides, and lifted off the floor. Whoever this was he was huge his arms were massive, almost like tree trunks locked round my waist. It was the neanderthal I’d first made out at the bank. He put the squeeze on me using all his strength trying to make my stomach meet my spine, I was starting to fade out and needed some air or I’d be in real trouble.

I was flailing my legs to try and unbalance the neanderthal, I would have done it as well, only the door man came round and dived his hands straight towards my lycra covered crotch. He had got the dildo out of the woman on the floor and was clearly planning to put it in me. Show any gang member a dildo and he just has to try and shove it in a superheroine, they think were are all amazons and would be instantly defeated by the ‘Curse of Troy’. Well it wouldn’t have any mystic effect on me but would hurt like hell so no way was he going to get a chance to stick me with it. No luck with this girl buster I thought as I planed to kick out and take him down when “uuugghh” I got punched hard on the side of the head by another one of the gang.

I lost the plot for a second than I felt the crotch of my lycra bottoms and panties being pushed aside and the dildo start to batter against my pussy. I was slightly moist, fighting always makes me aroused, and the damn thing was still slick from the other woman and so it started to slide up me. I could hear them laughing as they beat me around the head and kicked at my legs while this little guy shoved the dildo deep into me. All the time the neanderthal was squeezing the life out of me.

“Arghh, Jesus you bastards!” I cried as I was finally let go by the neanderthal and pitched forward clutching at my poor punished pussy trying to pull the now throbbing pole out of me. The lights seemed to dim I felt pretty sick and totally out of it as I hit the floor.

They all fell on me at once turning me over on my back and tearing at my costume My top was ripped from around my neck freeing my breasts, so much for my earlier modesty. The neanderthal was really into my breasts he squatted over my waist squeezing at my boobies digging his fingers into my nipples till I squealed in pain. The door man was thrusting the dildo in and out of me as I became more and more slick. One of them kicked my legs apart I knew what was coming next and no way was that going to happen to me.

That was where they lost out they didn’t expect me to come back into the game before they had stripped and probably raped me. But I wasn’t going to play by their rules, I used some telekinetic power to immobilise the door man just before he could manage to move that dildo another inch. I guess it felt like a heart attack to him as he just stopped and fell back unconscious, I didn’t damage him really merely put a small bit of pressure on his pump, only for an instant. For the neanderthal I used my hands by bringing both my fists up and banging away at his ears with a rapid series of hard punches, I saw his lights go out as he tipped forward almost trapping me under his bulk.

The crook who had really hurt me was the leg kicker I felt the bruises already, I lifted him into the air by telekinesis and threw him against the wall once maybe twice, he slid down unconscious and no danger to me any more. The remaining two hoods had stayed down. I must say I felt a little guilty about my first victim he was still rolling, about clutching at his groin, but considering what they had done to several women and to that poor woman on the floor and hell to me, they deserved all they got.

I was sitting on the floor with my legs spread pretty wide, a little bold but I had to get the dildo out of me, it hurt, and even though I had lubricated quickly enough to stop any real damage to my vagina I was sore as hell from the first rude thrusts when I was too dry. I gently pulled the crude thing out of me it was only eight inches long but it was ribbed with a diameter of about two inches, way to big for such violent action.

When I felt able to get up and walk, having that thing pushed into me was pretty debilitating. I went over to the woman she was still sobbing, “its all over now they can’t hurt you any more” I whispered into her ear, gently stroking her head until she stopped sobbing and opened her eyes. She looked absolutely terrified. What they must have done to her in the car and what they had said to her about her fate, the fear she must have felt as they pushed her out of the car must have been immense, I was glad I had hurt them all, if only for her.

I hunted around for some clothes for her I managed to find her jacket, mostly OK, and the remnants of her skirt, mostly not. I took the jacket off the neanderthal, it could almost have made her an overcoat, but at least it provided her with some vestige of modesty. With her covered and at least less scared I called up the police and started to check my own costume out.

My bikini bottoms and panties were fine, after some readjustment. The sashes fastened back all right again but as an arrangement for covering my breasts they had been a total failure in close contact fighting. I didn’t want to risk exposing my boobies again in any serious fights. Against a supervillain it could be really serious, those guys really were looking to take any of us down they seemed to enjoy totally destroying superheroines. Already several superheroines had disappeared, presumed kidnapped, or had been raped and killed while on duty. It was a dangerous life trying to keep the city safe for the innocent masses.

I grabbed the door mans coat and put it over my shoulders just in time as the police unit arrived. I ave them a overview of what had happened and left them to pick up the pieces. I was just flying off as the ambulance arrived, I hoped they’d take the woman first and leave the scumbags to suffer a little longer.

I flew straight to the Haven, I needed its healing embrace. Now the Superheroine’s Haven was a really neat idea hatched between the Mayor and the Superheroine Unit of the Police. Basically it’s a secure office building about a block from the SHU itself. The Haven provides us superheroines with a computer center for our crime intelligence, fed from the police net. Houses our civilian helpers and our scientific database. More importantly for yours truly it has a gym and health spa, workers benefits for all of us good girls. It also had a fully staffed Health Centre, it can really be a rough job sometimes. In the Haven we could recover, relax, train and even have a facial. Best thing the Mayor ever did, it certainly won my vote at the last election.

I called in at the Medical Centre and chatted to the nurse, she is very used to the dildo induced sore vagina problem and was able to select the coolest and most comforting salve for my hottest and sorest area. Although the Nurse volunteered I got to apply the ointment, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. I definitely wanted to be in good condition for Bob tonite, luckily for me my gem was pumping healing energy into me, mending me, healing any imperfection.

I had been resting for about an hour when Allyson McAuliff better known as the crime fighter Lightning came in and asked if I wanted a work out.

“No way Ally” I said “I’ve been mixing it with the forces of evil already today”, explaining my recent run in.

“Oh, Ouch!, well how about a hot tub” she came back, raising her eyebrows.

Now I was aching enough for a hot tub but my pussy might not be ready. But, she was very persuasive and so I soon found myself inching down into the tub moving very slowly as the water rose into my crotch, actually it wasn’t too bad. Allyson just flopped herself in. We soaked for a while then she said she’d soap my back, I really liked the gentle massage she does and soon I was leaning back on the side my hands under my chin floating the rest of my body on the surface with her giving me a wonderful back soaping. She gently got her hand under my waist and slowly turned me over and started to soap my breasts and belly. Now Lightning really prefers girls over boys but I’m much keener on the male sex and so as she started to dip down toward my pubes I thought I’d better call a halt and so slowly, maybe even a little reluctantly, I pushed her hands away and sunk back under the water. She didn’t mind the rebuff, I didn’t mind her trying, we were close friends and it would take more than that to cause us problems.

“Saph, do you want to have a proper training session later on this evening I’m not on duty till nine and I like to limber up before I go out, how are you fixed for some practice?.

Normally I would be happy to get some exercise but I had a date with Bob tonite and that was my priority. “Sorry Ally, if I get any workout tonite its going to be with Bob, and I doooo hope we do”, at least I had the decency to blush.

“I’ll never get what you see in those males of yours Sapphy baby but at least I know what they see in you.” she said, without any blush at all.


CHAPTER 2 Horror at the Haven


I drove home from the Haven I rent a small detached house in Kingston right by the Wellingham, actually too close as it floods even though it’s elevated, anyway that why I can afford the rent. I parked the car in the garage and climbed up the stairs to the main door. I felt much more relaxed, even if I hadn’t finished sequencing my rocks. It was six p.m. and Bob was coming at seven so I had to do some creative house work, before preparing myself to be loved. I moved my washing; panties, bras and pantyhose, from the bathroom finding somewhere else to dry them, did some washing up to get clean glasses and then settled down to decide what to wear. Now I normally wear the Sapphire costume under my regular clothes BUT considering what I (and I guess He) were planning that wasn’t such a good idea. I found out my newest and sexiest matching panties and bra set, straight from Victoria’s Secret, they were cream colored smooth, shear and silky they felt so good on and I knew Bob would love to find them. I put on a shortish really slinky floral skirt that just shimmered and shook as I walked around and finished the outfit off with a neat silk blouse, that matched in with the background color of the skirt. I checked with the mirror, no lines hinting at underwear. Hah, let him search. I spread some of my most expensive perfume around and sat and waited for my man.

Five past seven and the door bell went. There was Bob on the landing looking seriously great wearing casual slacks and shirt, clutching two bottles of wine, a video and a bunch of lovely flowers. I did say he was sweet. He came in and put the things on the table stepped back and took me in. I gave him a twirl round, I knew the skirt would be a great twirler. He came over and we kissed I had to stand on tiptoe, its crazy how that makes you feel, so small and vulnerable. He pulled me into him by cupping my buttocks in his hands and I melded with his front rubbing my pubes up and down his now very pronounced bulge. Bob said hold on as I slipped my tongue into his mouth, he always prefers to take the lead. So we broke off and cooled down while he put the wine on the table in the lounge and got me to put the flowers out. I wanted to say to hell with the flowers and get on with seducing and being seduced, but hey it’s just not maidenly !.

We sat down and did some creative talking about our day, OK not my Sapphire day but enough to fill it out for him. We ordered up a pizza by phone not too many scary toppings, far to dangerous for any oral action and settled back to watch the video. It was one of his, Barb Wire, maybe he wasn’t always that sweet. Still I liked the opportunity of stealing him away from Pammy Anderson with her on video and me close up to him, no contest, bye bye Pammy.


Darkness fell early around the Haven that nite becoming almost pitch black by one of the side entrances while the rest of the town was only drifting into darkness. Out of the darkness came Onyx only the low glow from the dark gem in his forehead showed against the darkness, and even then he seemed to swallow light where ever he went. He cast his darkness over the surveillance cameras on the side door as he overrode the locks and forced his way into the building, a dangerous alien presence violating the safety of the Haven.

Onyx drifted through the building heading to the security desk where two uniformed guards were sitting drinking coffee and checking over the close circuit monitors, they had seen no hint of Onyx’s break in. As the lights grew dim around them the eldest man made a move to stand up, it was his last ever move as Onyx pounced and with a single blow snapped the guard’s neck. The younger man tried to reach for the alarm button but Onyx struck him down as well, silencing him forever.

Behind the desk Onyx operated the button that unlocked the internal security doors leading to the inner sanctum of the building, an area normally restricted to the heroines and their female assistants. As the toughened door opened he moved through it silently planning his next moves in his mind He had checked through the buildings occupancy, only two persons lay through the gates one heroine, Lightning, and an assistant both totally unaware of his violation of their female sanctuary.

As he glided through the building he checked his bearings he knew exactly what he wanted and where he could find it. Arriving at the brightly lit computer room he could see only one young female operative at her desk. Silently he opened the door but something made her turn and for a brief second she looked straight at the Master of Darkness caught for once in the full, but dimming lights.

Sally Andrews only had time to scream and try to push out of her seat as the huge man dressed all in black swooped down on her enveloping her in a deep darkness. She was terrified as the gemstone on his forehead burned with an eerie light that felt intensely bright, almost blinding her with darkness !.

Onyx grabbed the woman between her breasts, by her blouse and bra, and dragged her up an out of her seat. She screamed but even to her ears it sounded muffled and strange, Onyx knew no sound could escape his field of darkness. He needed information from the woman, but also she was pretty and would make an enjoyable play thing. He tore off her blouse scattering buttons on the floor, her bra resisted tearing but spilled her breasts as it was forced up around her neck. He pushed the shocked woman back in her chair and instantly reached between her momentarily spread thighs ripping off her panties and pushing up her short skirt to reveal her to him. In less than ten seconds he had totally denuded the young woman and left her in no doubt as to her eventual fate, her mind almost closed down with fear as she thought of being taken against her will by this horrifying male.

Onyx leaned in close his right hand taking possession of her pussy while his left pushed her down in the seat. He brought his lips to her ear and whispered. “You have only one chance of surviving me Give me access to the computer and I’ll leave you alone otherwise you’ll feel my full power just before you die”.

Sally had a strong personality and was a fit young woman, but she had been devastated by his sudden assault and now felt just so totally dominated by his appearance, the all enveloping darkness and his brutal actions that she could only nod and splutter out “Anything I’ll get you onto the computer, please don’t hurt me”.

He smiled as he released her letting her turn to the keyboard and access the databases he required. Access the section on Heroines, I want everything you have on the Sapphire bitch.”

I took five short minutes to output the information on Sapphire, all the security systems were breached by Sally’s desperate fingers as they flew across the keyboard. “Only Sapphire, Only Sapphire” Onyx kept repeating in her ear as he pinched her nipples in time to his words while the information spooled over the screen. The secrets of the other heroines were ignored while Sapphire’s life was laid bare in front of the villain. When the files had been emptied he ordered Sally to disable the computer then he hit her on the side of the neck, making her slump over the keyboard, he didn’t need this mortal now he wanted Sapphire in his power. He knew her secret identity and now possessing information about Tamara Havens he could continue with his plan to defeat her.

Onyx left the unconscious operator and started to leave the building when he heard noises through a nearby door, It could only be Lightning. She was as powerful as he and her brilliant bursts of light energy could destroy him. When he last fought her he had only just escaped, heaping curses on the heroine as he had run away. He slipped back into darkness and started to move slowly past the door, not wanting to fight a strong heroine without a detailed plan to neutralise her powers. But his interest was aroused and he decided to see inside the room to spy on her and he moved silently to the door.

Lightning was limbering up in the gym going through her set routine before going out on patrol. She was dressed in sweat pants with a skimpy top and was using all the equipment she needed in the empty gym. Onyx slipped into the gym using the low light to camouflage him as he pressed himself against the wall. He saw the sweat staining the front of her top with a ragged ‘V’ and noted the fluidity of her breast as they moved under the material, they were clearly free of any encumbering support. He was aroused as the heroine went through her work out oblivious to his presence. To see the beauty scissoring her legs wide open then closing them again coupled with her straining muscles as she lifted weights, made him want to sample her body.

Allyson finished her routine feeling the glow of satisfaction emanating from her body. She skipped down from the weight stand and went to the shower stalls unaware of the movement of darkness in her wake. As she showered Allyson paid particular attention to her breasts soaping them gently in her hand with an occasional tweak at her partially erect nipples. She was missing her live in lover Jenny who had been on a buying trip to Paris for the last two weeks and wasn’t expected back for another week. Allyson smiled to herself, better stop now or someone might need to be rescued from a horny heroine she thought quickly turning the flow of water to cold to snap her together before running out of the shower squealing as the cold water beat down on her hot back and buttocks.

Onyx saw her emerge from the shower and had his best view of the statuesque twenty five year old as she wrapped a white towel around her body. Her breasts were full and pert the large nipples stood out from her aureoles and looked juicy and tender morsels, suitable for a Dark Lord to feast on. Her pussy’s lips were shaded by a thin vertical track of pubic hair, starting just above her slit in the same rich brown color as her long thick hair. As she started drying herself he had seen enough to know he must conquer her and force his seed deep into her. He made his plan and moved back into the locker room to wait for her.

Allyson was covered with her towel and patting her hair dry as she opened her locker and took out her Lightning costume. She dropped the towel and stepped into her soft cotton panties and pulled them up into her crotch spreading the front and back panels wide over her pubes and buttocks, there was nothing worse than having to do a lot of crime fighting action while giving yourself a painful wedgie. Slipping her white lycra pantyhose up her legs she smoothed down the thin material making sure there were no creases. She reached out to get her sports bra from the locker placing it round her waist back to front to close the clasp then pulling the bra round so the cups were under her breasts. Sliding the bra up she carefully nestled her breasts into the cups before shrugging into the shoulder straps. Her silver lycra top, with its bold Lightning bolt motif picked out in red, fitted snugly and she had to wriggle her shoulders before she got the fit just right, she bent to fix the top’s crotch strap in place and then straightened up to make sure she was comfortable. She adjusted her breasts in her bra again making sure that the daring plunge in her top revealed only the amount of cleavage she wanted and no more. As she stepped into her silver micro skirt she looked in the mirror, seeing the transformation nearly complete. Just the hair, tiara, boots and bracelets now she thought as she caught up her hair and started to give it her trademark strong plait. Settling her hair into place she positioned her tiara, and again turned to the mirror to check the results.

“Onyx what the hell are you doing here” she yelled as she caught sight of the dark figure in the mirror. She swept round reaching for her silver bracelets, the key to all her power.

Onyx had positioned himself between Lightning and her bracelets as he knew that without them he would not be fighting a powerful superheroine but merely a young woman, quick, strong and resourceful but no match for him. “I’m the man whose going to have you in a minute bitch” he sneered.

“You’re not man enough for that, no man is” the young heroine bantered back, desperately looking for a way to reach her bracelets while maintaining her all important self confidence.

“Onyx flared into anger “You may have beaten me last time bitch but this time you’re powerless. I’ll make you squirm under me, I’m going to have my revenge on your body. I’m very good at getting revenge like that”. Onyx saw a small flicker of fear cross Lightning’s face and felt more confident.

“Yea, I’m sure you are, bet you also like pulling the wings off flies don’t you” despite her brave words Lightning was feeling real fear now and was running through her options to fight or to escape.

They were both squared up to each other looking for a weakness and preparing to pounce. Lightning saw her chance and made a feint to her left then dived to the right catching Onyx off guard and slipping past him, diving straight toward her bracelets and safety.

“Arggh, Oh let go” she screamed when her hand was almost touching her bracelets. Onyx had twisted round and grabbed her hair and was pulling back hard on her plait. With only pantyhose for grip she slipped back and fell down hard on her buttocks. Her eyes were watering from the hard pull on her hair but she quickly scrambled up and tried to reach the bracelets realising they were her only hope of survival against Onyx.

She tried a quick kick back to keep him at bay as she reached her feet but he grabbed her again, this time getting her in a tight neck lock crushing in at her throat and depriving her of oxygen. As the grip locked around her throat Allyson tried to kick back at him, then reached back with her hands but he evaded her. She was desperate now as the lack of oxygen began to tell, she felt a pounding in her ears, she moved to attacking his arm around her neck frantically attempting to prise it away. Despite her struggles his arms remain locked at her throat driving the energy out of her limbs.

Oh Hell she thought I’ve got to get free somehow. She stopped struggling and went limp in his arms trying to trick him into an early release. Jesu I hope he’ll release me soon she thought as she dangled in his arms feeling the pounding in her ears grow ever louder.

Onyx suspected a trap and maintained the pressure relentlessly. Suddenly Allyson started panicking unable to master her fear any longer in case he planed to kill her straight away. She was writhing desperately in his grasp, all attempts a trickery forgotten, frantically trying to pull his arm from her throat as she kicked back. She heard him shout out in pain and felt the grip slacken for an instant but it was too late her eyes started lose focus as darkness swirled in front of them as she fell into unconsciousness from oxygen deprivation.

Feeling her dead weight slump into his arms Onyx released the neck lock hearing her suck in vital oxygen through her crushed throat. He let her crumple to the floor draping her at his feet. She was there unconscious, lying flat on her back and unable to resist, utterly vulnerable to him. Her costume was still nearly perfect only slightly creased as he examined her intently. He scanned up her legs first seeing how her microskirt had rucked up, now not quite covering her crotch where he focused his gaze He moved up her body seeing the swell of her breasts beneath her top. He reached down and pulled at the front of her top revealing her bra for an instant before the material sprung back into place, he used both hands to rip her top apart from its plunging neckline to her skirt waist revealing her magnificent chest. He hurriedly tore at her bra releasing her breasts watching them jiggle briefly on her chest as the violence of their release dissipated.

Bending down he slid his palms over her breasts encompassing each fleshy mound and flattening them to her rib cage. Taking advantage he massaged the breasts moving them round her chest feeling their plump resilience. Then he pulled his hands up making the breasts conform to a more usual conical shape as his finger moved up and around her aureoles before finally leaving her breasts by squeezing hard on her nipples. The assault on her sensitive nipples drew a moan from the still unconscious woman and spurred him to continue stripping her.

Tearing her skirt from around her waist He used his powerful hands to continue ripping her top destroying the crotch strap and flinging the now tattered garment across the room. He stripped off her pantyhose leaving her clad in only her thin white cotton panties. The panties were so thin that her line of pubic hair was clearly visible outlining her slit. He laid his finger along her slit and pushed his knuckle slowly down onto her cotton covered labia. She moaned at the contact and although still unconscious she squirmed to avoid the unwelcome touch.

Lifting his knuckle from her panties he held it to his nose, getting her scent, He now felt tremendously aroused and had to have her. He ripped her panties off by grabbing through the right leg hole and tearing across baring her pudenda and leaving the tattered underwear looped around her left thigh. Spreading her thighs he unzipped and freed himself before lying down between her legs the tip of his eight inch cock brushing the hair fringing her labia.

He started to lick and suck at her breasts, teasing her nipples erect with his tongue, making the most of her inability to resist him. He gathered both her hands into one of his large hands and pulled her arms above her head pinning them to the ground. He used his other hand to reach between their bodies and started to stroke her pussy. He needed to get her body aroused and reacting to him before she could regain consciousness and her mind could take control over her nature.

He suddenly grunted in pleasure as he found a hint of moisture at the base of her slit, only a small amount but it was enough to allow him entry as he burrowed his finger between her labia finding more slick moisture to help him as he went. Now he was able to run his finger all along her slit lubricating her outer lips to allow for the eventual penetration with his cock. But he wanted to fuck her when she was conscious so she would know what was happening to her so he satisfied himself by slipping one, then two, then three fingers into her vagina stretching her channel and coaxing more liquid from her helpless body.

Lightning moaned slightly as she slowly regained consciousness “Oh my God, No, stop you Brute get those out of me stop, Uhggg how dare you” She was horrified as she found herself pined down by his weight and repulsed by what he was doing to her. She also felt how aroused she has become and struggled squirming under him to try and release herself as she also tried to regain control over her body. She desperately tried to free her arms but without her bracelets she was merely a young weak female beneath a strong and ruthless heavy male opponent and he managed to hold her hands above her head with ease and despite her struggles he was denied nothing by the squirming woman. As she writhed around he enjoyed watching her breasts move around on her chest but he kept a relentless pressure on both her breasts and pussy never stopping stimulating her, making her wet and wide, preparing her for her violation.

As he became more and more aroused and certain of possessing the now moaning and writhing woman he became more confident, over confident, as he toyed with her. “Not so sure of yourself now are you bitch, I said I’d have you under me squirming around and there you are. Bet it’s the first time any man’s got this far huh. You don’t look so tough now”. He let go of her arms and moves his hand to cup her rear squeezing her buttocks. Through her rapidly shredding mind she saw a chance to be free and turn the tables on her tormentor.

Although her arms felt weak she started to bravely batter him about the head. her punches lacked power at first and he ignored them preferring to pump his fingers into her liquefying pussy but she got stronger hurting him and he stopped pumping for a minute. There was a desperate fight for a second as she tried to keep her hands free of his grip but it was to no avail as he gathered her hands together and wrenched them back over her head. he was lying on her using his weight to dampen her writhing and kicking legs and holding her arms fully stretched out above her head in his right hand. With his left hand he located two points in her arm pits and then struck fast and hard under both her left and right arms. She screamed in agony as the two blows took out her pressure points leaving her arms temporarily paralysed and useless, lying on the floor above her head only moving with every jolt to her body.

She started sobbing, “Oh God don’t hurt me any more you’re destroying me, please don’t do anything else please just leave me alone now please”, she was broken by his violence, knowing now that she could do nothing else to prevent him doing whatever he wanted with her. She was sobbing in pain, fear and frustration feeling how utterly under his power she was.

Onyx knew that she could not do anything to him and started back at her licking and teasing her breasts and pumping his fingers relentlessly into her. He put his body weight fully on her left leg and used his legs to force her right leg further away. He kept on spreading her legs further and further apart until she screamed “ Please Arghh, No more, I’m too wide, Oh Hell Ahh what the hell do you want Oh please let me close a little Oh please I feel too open it hurts”. He had forced her to concentrate her thoughts between her legs knowing that she would feel so vulnerable and defenseless spread wide beneath him. He knew he almost had her as he moved to the culmination of his actions. He felt her increasingly frantic responses to his touches and her desperate cries that told him she was nearing orgasm from her enforced fondling. He gave her no chance to resist or regain control and, as his fingers felt her begin to spasm he spread her labia and slid his thick cock into her, causing her to scream out with pain and horror.

Allyson felt him slide past her labia and desperately tightened her vaginal muscles to keep him out, but as she did so she pushed herself over her peak and her orgasm overtook her. Her vaginal pulses caused her to moan out aloud as she squirted out her orgasmic fluids over Onyx’s cock. As the waves of contraction subsided she could not resist his penetration as his attention to her breasts and pussy had made her too wet to keep out his iron hard cock and all of her vaginal strength had been used in her orgasm. He thrusts deep into her grunting out his triumph as each inch sunk into her accompanied by her howls of horror at her violation.

When he had forced his full length in her he stopped and looked into her sweat stained face smeared with tears. He slapped her and forced her to open her eyes “I’ve got you now you bitch. I’m in you and now I’m going to give you the fucking of your life”.

She closed her eyes, turning her face away from her violator it couldn’t be happening to her she was devastated. No man had ever bested her in any fight before and now here she was naked, helpless, lying flat on her back, a man’s cock deep in her, she was being raped just like any ordinary woman. No longer the proud superheroine all her spirit destroyed she sobbed uncontrollably.

He slowly withdrew from her, almost clearing her pussy but then he grasped her round the buttocks and started a furious thrusting into her wet hot pussy . He pounded down forcing every inch into her, constantly filling and emptying her vagina with his thick cock, breaking her down and degrading the normally proud and strong willed woman with every thrust.

Still unable to resist him she was just sobbing and moaning “No, No” as she was plundered. She felt horrified as she realised she was going to come again and tried to resist but his powerful deep thrusts forced her out of control and she began to moan “uhg, ghh, uh,” in time to his thrusts. She fell into another orgasm despite of herself. She felt the orgasm hit her mind and she totally lost control it’s power was so shattering. She was moaning and bucking under Onyx, drumming her heels on the floor totally lost in the sensations flooding out from her pussy.

Onyx was moaning in time with his thrusts but as he saw her starting to climax so strongly again he laughed as she came. She felt humiliated as he laughed at her, burning with shame at her weakness but she still couldn’t resist him.

He continued raping her thrusting deep into her and pulling out before thrusting back again and again. She felt him start to tense and heard him grunt out almost in pain. She desperately didn’t want to have his sperm in her defiling her body, she knew she was in the fertile stage of her cycle and had never needed to use birth control “No for God sake take it out of me I don’t want that in me please. Oh please take it out before you come.. Uhhgh”. She was screaming at him but he powered on grabbing her by the buttocks as her pumped deep, her useless arms still lying above her head jerking with his every thrust. He came with a massive grunt burying himself deeply in her and forcing his semen straight out into her cervix filling her receptive reproductive system with hundreds of millions of his sperm, each searching for one of her eggs to rape and impregnate. She screamed at her defilement kicking her legs out on either side of his body in impotent rage.

After a minute of quite as they were both silent breathing hard he raised himself up “You’re not bad for a dyke, I guess it was different than with a dildo huh. Hey, maybe I’ve knocked you up, wouldn’t that be a great reminder for you not to mess with me again. Anyhow now I know you’re a bit of a slut when it comes to your cunt let’s see how you are with your other holes.”

“Nooo” she screamed in terror but she still had no power to resist or deny him anything as her humiliation continued. He turned her over on her belly spreading her buttocks and positioned himself to plunder her small puckered anus, as he once again prepared to demean the heroine forcing himself into her, continuing his merciless revenge on his fallen adversary.


CHAPTER 3 Home is where the heart is


I had gradually moved from sitting close to him, he was watching the film. To leaning on him, his interest in Pam lessened. To sitting on his lap, Pammy might as well have gone home. We had drunk a glass or two of wine and I was now enjoying checking out his dental work with my tongue. He was no slouch either as my blouse was undone and there were two wet patches on my bra over each nipple from his lips and tongue, he had made my cry out more than once from teasing at them. He now had me squirming on his lap as he had slipped his hand up under my skirt and along my leg and started to stroke me through my panties I was moaning pretty loud as he traced me out with every stroke he made, getting wet and very aroused. I was kissing him passionately losing myself in the sensations when the door bell rang out.

We separated, why the hell hadn’t I cooked frozen pizza, the delivery guy had broken in at a great moment. I stood up feeling rather unsteady and looked down at Bob . I was pretty flushed with passion and hardly presentable but looking at his lap at least I would be able to walk, did I mention another reason why I adored him !

“Just coming”, chance would be a fine thing, I called out to the door as I pulled my blouse together and rebuttoned, tidying my hair as I walked to the door, relying on gravity to sort out my skirt. Opening the door I saw the delivery guy 17 years old, maybe 18 tops, grinning all over his face, I wondered if he’d been listening at the door, I’d been pretty loud, still must be one of the perks of the job. I paid for the pizza feeling my face get progressively redder as he looked at me, grinning all the time. As he left I shut the door behind me and leant back on it, I was going to have to work on my composed under all circumstances face .

I walked back into the lounge, the TV was off, guess I’d seen off Pam he’d put a CD on and soft music was drifting round the room. Bob was lying back on the couch his arms behind his head “Maybe we could heat up the pizzas for later and just spend some time together now” he murmured slowly. I had a feeling I knew how he wanted to spend the time so I put the pizzas down on the table and stood in front of him.

I wanted to give him a little show I was proud of my body and had chosen my clothes carefully for him tonite, if I wasn’t careful he’d only experience them by touch, but I wanted him to see and feel. I stated to sway in time to the music as I unbuttoned my blouse and did a slow strip tease for him while he lay there. I slipped my blouse off and draped it over his face before slowly pulling it off him and letting it slid to the floor. I reached behind and unzipped my skirt letting it slide down my legs and puddle round my feet. I could see from his face that the money I’d spent at Victoria’s Secret had been worth it as he scanned up my body taking in my panties and bra and sliding his gaze up to my face. He looked pretty excited and he was arousing the hell out of me just by lying there looking at me. He was shifting around on he couch starting to move toward me but now I didn’t want him to get up, I was enjoying having the initiative for once.

I moved in closer to the couch “Uh uh wait your turn He-Man” I said pushing his hands away as they snaked up my legs. I knelt down on he floor and kissed him long and deeply our lips were locked together as I felt him reach along my back and unclip my bra, he’s really too damn good at doing that one handed. I still wasn’t ready to yield the initiative and broke the kiss. I pulled back for a second slipping out of my bra and moved down his body keeping my eyes locked on his as I started to unzip him.

It couldn’t have been more than five minutes before the phone started ringing, “Tam don’t bother with it you’re machine will click on in a second” Bob was pretty keen that I wasn’t disturbed, I could see his point of view, and he was right the answer phone would click on in a second. But I recognised the ring tone it was a special divert set up so the police could ring Sapphire but never know they were getting Tamara. Hey though I was off duty and resting!, they just had to give me a break but I listened out anyway just in case.

I leave it on monitor and when I heard the voice on the phone I froze, I recognised Detective Vortelli’s distinctive voice as he asked me to pick up if I was listening. I knew if he wanted me it would have to something real important, damn not now. As I stood up and moved to the phone I murmured “sorry”, I heard Bob give a sigh but he was pretty sweet so I knew He wouldn’t be too mad.

I got the phone and took it from the autoanswer. “yes what is it” I said realising Bob was only a few feet away and I’d have to be careful what I said.

“Sapphire, I’m sorry to call through to you but there’s been a serious incident down at the Haven, we’re calling in all the heroines. Some bastard has killed two of the guards, beaten up on an assistant and swiped info from the computer. Uh.. Saph.. Sapphire I’m sorry but whoever it was also beat up real bad on Lightning she’s at Mercy Hospital. Can you come to the Haven now and help out.

“What happened to her, which hospital again” I knew both of the guards, Sam and Joey, who were on tonite, it was terrible, but I wanted to help my friend Lightning.

“Sapphire, God I’m sorry I know you gals are close but she was beaten badly, almost certainly raped and God knows what else happened to her. The doctors are with her now, It’s Mercy hospital, will you be going there instead”.

“Yes I’ll be there as soon as I can I’ve got to see if I can help her. Look thanks for calling Albert I really appreciate it, I’ll be seeing you”.

Bob had got up and tidied himself by he time I’d finished and was looking pretty concerned as he looked at me “What is it Tam ?, sounds like bad news”

“A girlfriend of mine has”, Oh hell what do I say, “been in car smash she’s in hospital I’ve got to go and see her Bob I’m so sorry”.

“That’s terrible, look I’ll drive you down there and stay while you find out what’s wrong”

He was really concerned and trying to help, that’s why I loved him. But although he might help Tamara he wouldn’t be able to help Sapphire “No Bob I’ll go alone I don’t know how she’s going to be”.

“OK then”, his face fell, “but let me stay here, you may need a friend when you get back”.

The crazy thing is he really meant it, I could sense that he wasn’t angling for a rerun of the sex he just wanted to be a friend and give me a shoulder to cry on. I was really smitten with him, my ideal mix of lover and best friend.

“OK but I don’t know when I’ll be back, maybe not tonite even. Sack down on the couch or my bed I’ll wake you when I come in if you’re still here”.

“I’ll be here, don’t fret, I hope she’ll be OK”

I was already going down the hall to my room as he spoke, shutting the door behind me. I wanted to fly off to the hospital straight away but I had to protect my secret identity. I pulled open the hidden panel and took a fresh Sapphire costume and stepped into the lycra bikini pants, I left my Victoria’s Secret panties on, I always wore something under my costume, normally cotton panties I admit, or I just didn’t feel decent. This more exotic underwear would be hidden by my costume belt anyway, so wouldn’t be a problem. I pulled up the front sashes carefully fitting my breasts into them I hoped the material would retain them OK I hadn’t got a chance to enhance it’s breast holding abilities. With my boots on I pulled a long overcoat over my costume and ran through the house shouting “Bye” as I dived into the car and drove off into the nite.

I turned out of Melrose Drive and took the next left onto Wellingham Parkway before pulling off to the side of the street. I slipped out of the coat and got out of the car making sure no one was about and took off flying to the hospital. I landed on the roof helipad and dashed through the doors leading to the lifts and stairs. I knew where she would be, Vortelli had told me, I went to the room. There were two policemen and a policewoman on guard outside the door. They saw me and opened the door allowing me into the room where a doctor and nurse were looking down at the bed.

The medics turned round as I entered, the nurse shielding the bed from my view as I walked in. “How is she?” I asked as I came up to the bed. The body in the bed was naked but the nurse rapidly drew the sheet up to a badly bruised neck. I had seen enough though Lightning was a mass of bruises all over her body were red blue blotches where someone had beaten her severely. Her face was puffy her eyes and mouth looked so much bigger where she’d been beaten.

“Sapphire I’m glad your here she’ll need someone she knows when she comes round” the doctor was Jane Mycroft from the Haven. As she looked round at me and spoke I could see she’d been crying as she’d tried to repair the damage caused to Lightning.

“What happened to her, how could anyone beat someone like that?” I had seen some bad beatings before but for that to happen to Lightning, with all her power it was terrible and scary too.

I’m afraid that she has been virtually strangled then very badly beaten, punched and kicked. She has been raped several times, both vaginally and anally and has been abused with some object, looks like some sort of billy club but I can’t be sure. I know that it looks pretty horrendous but thank God even after all that happened to her there doesn’t seem to be major internal injuries. The external injuries will fade with time but psychologically, well I really don’t know yet. Whoever did this to her was an animal though and should be hunted down like a dog, will you be searching for him?.

“Him, only one beast did this” I was amazed I guessed she’d been set upon by many men to overpower and brutalise her like this.

“We only found one individual’s semen on and in her, the police seemed to think she had been taken unawares by a supervillain but they couldn’t say who”

“Can I sit with her, I’d like to watch over her, I know others are looking for whoever did this”

“Sure sit down were just finishing up. What she needs is rest at the moment. The aids and VD tests will be back soon and we’ve already started to give her emergency birth control just in case”.

I guess doctors get rather insulated from their feelings working with this sort of stuff, what she had just described sounded absolutely horrifying to me. Waiting for tests, emergency birth control made it all seem so terrifyingly normal. How many other women had suffered this before, this time it was different I knew the victim.

It had been about two hours and I was looking directly into Lightning’s face when I spotted the first hint of movement. She opened one puffy eye and focused slowly on me.

“Jesus Saph what the hell did the bastard to do me,” her voice was weak and her lips were too puffy to speak clearly through but at least she could recognise me and could reason things through.

“Who was it that did this to you ?”

“Onyx the rat he got me as I was changing, I didn’t have the bracelets on he just took me apart and then he..he.. Oh God he raped me, Oh hell it hurt so much” she tried to move but lapsed into unconsciousness again.

Onyx, he had a jewel like mine but he was all evil, he had tried to injure me on several occasions and had made it clear when he almost defeated me last May what he would do to me if he ever managed to defeat me. I shuddered, I was afraid, I had only just beaten him off last time he was a strong foe. We were equally matched in our powers but he was physically much stronger than me, I would need help in fighting him or else I could end up like Lightning. Jesus what was I thinking about. Onyx had attacked one of the superheroines we, all of us, wouldn’t rest till he had paid for his crimes. No time for personal fears.


CHAPTER 4 Double jeopardy


I was dozing by her bedside when the phone went off, I quickly picked it up so it didn’t disturb Lightning, it was Captain Harker of the SHU.

“Sapphire, thank God I found you. We’ve just found out it was Onyx at the Haven, look he went through the computer taking out all the information about you, ONLY YOU, stay where you are. Don’t go home, he’s managed to get all your details, everything about your real identity, Hell he knows more about you than we do, I can’t access any of that stuff”.

Chilling that’s the only way I can describe it, I felt chilled to my very soul. Having my cover blown was bad but by this animal it was terrible. “Do you think he’ll try my home” I felt numb as I said the words.

“Well he could bu..”

I put the phone down and dialed home I had to warn Bob tell him to get out. On the forth ring the phone picked up, but it wasn’t me giving the welcome message, there was just silence. “Hello whose there” I tried praying that it would be Bob answering and no one else.

I heard Onyx’s voice on the phone “Sapphire, you little whore I guess you found out what I did to the Lightning bitch by now, but she was just for fun It’s you I want to fight to see whose most powerful.

“What have you done with ..” I started

“SHUT UP AND LISTEN YOU WHORE” he roared down the phone. “I’ve got your puny boyfriend with me now. I want you here, only you alone, anyone else and he dies. Oh and you’d better hurry he’s not got any time to waste he’s hanging about waiting for you. Oh and I do mean hanging”

The phone cut off I felt sick to my stomach. Bob was in terrible danger I’d put him at risk. I looked down at Lightning seeing what Onyx was capable of. I knew what he would try to do to me, knew what he could do to Bob. I moved back to the bed and bent over Allyson, kissing her gently on the forehead, I murmured “I’ll get the bastard for you my love” and ran out the door and up to the helipad taking off into the nite sky desperate to reach home and save Bob.

I flew fast and low straight down to my house it was standing there all alone, it looked odd, then I realised there was a deeper darkness round it than around any other building in the street. I knew I was going into a trap but it was one that I had to spring to have any chance of rescuing Bob, I had to risk everything.

I walked as silently as I could up the stairs to the front door, any element of surprise could be useful, and tried the door it swung open. Inside it was total darkness but the light from my gem cut through the blackness, so much for any surprise. I moved slowly to the hall hunting for any sound or motion to help me find Bob and neutralise Onyx

I saw Bob straight away he was hanging by his neck from a chain dangling from the ceiling, slowly circling around as he kicked out, his feet about 20 inches from the floor. He was alive though and desperately trying to stop being strangled by supporting his weight himself clutching onto the chain. He must have been tired his hands were clawing at the chain, I saw blood drip down from them. I ran into the room to help, directing some telekinetic power to support him and take his weight.

As he felt my support Bob dropped his hands and I was able to send a blast of energy against the chain to shear it. I saw the blue energy leave my hand and dart towards the chain but as it arrived the chin was wreathed in darkness and my bolt dissolved into nothing the chain remained intact. Although I couldn’t see him in the gloom I knew Onyx was about to show his hand.

I spun round using my gem’s light to illuminate the room keeping my telekinesis focused on supporting Bob. I thought I saw a vague outline against a wall and sent of an energy pulse. I could see my blue energy dissipating as it fought through the darkness but when it hit the wall there was plenty of power, but sadly no target to fry.

I was hit hard by some sort of solid darkness it hit me on the back causing my shields to flare blue as they absorbed the energy, some got through and threw me forward. I knew it was only a projection Onyx didn’t want to show himself yet. I heard Bob shout out in pain and spun round to face him, he was surrounded by darkness and being beaten by whirls of dark energy. I blasted out at the swirling darkness knocking it away from him with bolts of my blue energy. I drew on my shield power and spun a protective energy cocoon around him, I saw it flare as the darkness returned to probe against it, I knew he’d be safe within as I fought Onyx. I was hit again by a bolt of darkness harder this time and slipped to the floor as more dark energy penetrated my shields. As I struggled up I was searching for the fiend. I needed to find him quickly all this was draining my energy reserves.

My gem was burning brightly illuminating the room pushing away at the darkness that now only skirted round the walls, at last I saw him and fired of a bolt of destructive power directly at him. He became visible as my bolt struck at him, he was tall, bulky and mean looking, but at least I could see to fight him now. He deflected my bolt power with a wall of darkness, and struck back straight away by launching sheets of dark energy at Bob and me. As our shields flared I saw Onyx running straight towards me.

I braced myself for collision as he ploughed into me catching me round the waist and knocking me down. I jumped up as he turned for more and tried to punch in at my head. I caught his hand and deflected it throwing him to the ground as I side stepped. Jesus he felt much stronger than when I’d last met him, but he was still no trained fighter relying too much on his brawn

He rolled away from me and directed his next attack against Bob hurling energy toward his protective cocoon, as I strengthened Bob’s shield I lost sight of Onyx . I turned slowly around hunting for him and suddenly felt a movement behind me I spun round and took a huge blow to my right shoulder. The bastard was using my own prized Baseball bat, a present from my father to his tomboy daughter. The blow smashed through my weakened shield and caused me to yelp with surprise and pain my whole right arm felt numb and I felt sick to my stomach but just avoided slumping to the floor. I began to feel lie a mouse being played with by a cat as Onyx repeatedly managed to get kicks and blows though my shield.

I was pretty well disorientated by now, Onyx was appearing in front then behind me off to my side, constantly on the move. I was unsteady from the blow to my shoulder and the kicks and I was feeling pretty drained by supporting two separate energy shields. Then I felt myself being goosed, Onyx had taken a feel of my buttocks. He went for my chest next I felt my left breast being freed from my sash and squeezed, he flicked my nipple then tickled me briefly on my lycra covered pubes. The bastard, he was just toying with me now, none of these strikes had been designed to hurt just to humiliate. No one was going to take those sort of liberties with this heroine I pulled my self together and slapped him away, getting in one good punch to his chin.

I was desperately trying to get close to Bob so that my shields could reunite protecting both of us using less energy. Onyx kept between us, striking in earnest this time, constantly attacking Bob or me, wearing me down either by bolts of energy or pure physical violence. He kept disappearing behind a wall of darkness and coming out to hit me. I saw a pattern two strikes left and one right he’d done that four times now, I’d be ready for the next one. As he disappeared I turned to the left to be ready for him but he changed and came in from the right swinging the baseball bat again and targeting my arm. This time the bat struck through my shield and pounded into my arm. The pain blossomed out from my arm washing over me I must have blacked out for a second as I felt my legs go from under me and I felt the floor hit the side of my face.

Onyx came at me again kicking and punching at me as I was down and sending wave after wave of his darkness battering against me. I was weakening under his assault I’d diverted too much of my power to saving Bob and this fiend was punishing me for it now. He grabbed my damaged arm and I screamed in pain He wrenched at it pulling and twisting, the pain making me feel sick. I didn’t figure what the hell he was doing until he bent back my wrist and pushed it against my forehead. I tried to push it away before it touched but my damaged arm was not up to it. He touched my gem with my own wrist and I felt the power drain out of me as the stone disappeared, leaving me powerless.

I screamed out in frustration, and terror knowing that Bob and I were in really big trouble now. Oh God Bob, I struggled round as Onyx straddled me and started to randomly grope my body and saw Bob dangling again from the chain now my telekinetic and shield support had evaporated. He was back to trying to pull himself up the chain using his poor ripped hands. Onyx looked across at him I was afraid he would strike out at him with a energy bolt and begged “Please don’t hurt him he’s nothing to do with this just leave him alone”.

Onyx stopped feeling my breasts and looked down into my face, his eyes were black and cold deeply set into his masked face. “Oh I don’t plan to hurt him yet, I thought it would do him good to see how a real man takes care of a woman, anyway I’ve always wanted an audience.

“You bastard” I spat kicking out at him, he was pinning both my arms to the floor now using his weight to restrain me. I knew what he was planning he’d defeated me and now he wanted to conquer me completely and he was going to make Bob part of my humiliation I didn’t want this but at least it could keep us both alive while I tried to figure a way out.

He turned me over on my belly, even though I was struggling fiercely against him, then he pulled my arms round to my back. As he moved my right arm I thought I was going to pass out from pain. He tied my hands together tightly using several turns of fabric, the swine was using some of my normal Tamara type pantyhose, he must have been going through my bedroom before I’d arrived. I was completely secured and couldn’t move my hands or arms at all, no chance yet to regain my powers, it would be a question of waiting till he made a mistake, I hoped to hell he would and soon.

Onyx pulled me up to my feet and forced me to go over to where Bob was hanging. Onyx had now formed a solid patch of darkness that Bob was standing on, if he stood on tip toe he wouldn’t strangle himself. I guessed Onyx really wanted Bob to witness my humiliation.

“Know who this is you dumb bozo” Onyx shouted up at Bob.

“It’s Sapphire you son of a bitch, let her go and fight me like a man, none of this fancy darkness stuff”

“Look at her again you Moron”, Onyx held me out in front of him directly in front of Bob, clearing some of the darkness away and letting Bob look down on me. Without the gem’s sapphire light I was there just as Tamara un-transformed, only wearing my thin costume, no hint of Sapphire’s power remained.

“Tam, it can’t be you, why are you wearing her costume?”

“Hell man can’t you guess, check out the rest”. Onyx ripped my sashes from around my neck releasing my breasts, tore off my belt and tugged down my lycra bottoms leaving me squirming in his harsh grip in just my panties in front of my now wide eyed boyfriend. Bob had seen me standing in front of him like this only a few hours ago. I saw his face go almost purple with rage as he tried to strike out at Onyx.

“You bastard let her go now, stop hurting her what the hell she ever done to you, come on try me if you can cope in a fair fight”.

“Its not you I want to try it’s this ex-superbitch, but you get a front row seat. He spun me round so I was facing him He was holding me by my shoulders, I tried to knee him in the groin but only got a couple of slaps to the head as he dodged my slow attack, I was now having to fight a supervillain as only a normal female no real contest but I wasn’t going to give in without a fight.

“On your knees bitch I want to see how you perform for me. Maybe I’ll give lover boy there some pointers on technique”

I spat up at his face “Drop dead Onyx the Unit will be on their way they’ll take you in if I don’t get you first”. I wasn’t feeling at all sure about any of that stuff, aching and feeling the pain in my arm as it gnawed though me, but I wasn’t going to let him humiliate and dominate me I just had to try and throw some doubt into him.

He slipped his hands down from my shoulders to my breasts grabbing my nipples between his thumb and forefinger before I could move back. He started to squeeze down with his thumbs trapping me between his finger and his thumb nail the pain was intense, I screamed out and tried to pull away but he had me too tightly. I couldn’t think straight through the additional pain as I writhed in his grip. He held off pinching for a second letting me get my breath but he still kept tight hold. Bob was yelling at him but I really didn’t hear much I was concentrated on my hurt too much. I realised Onyx was talking at me as he tweaked me to get my attention

“You’re as dumb as your boyfriend here, no one in the Unit knows who Sapphire really is. By the time they get that computer up and running and anyone figures out I’m here we’ll have finished our little transaction. I going to get your gem you bitch, I’m making a collection. But first we’re going to have a good time. As for you getting me, you sure as hell are going to get me, but only my way as I fuck you. You’ll be just like that other superbitch, she sure as hell was surprised. Bet she’s not so high and mighty now I’ve been in her, I sure as hell gave her a good work out”.

I didn’t bother to struggle as he used his grip to force me to my knees in front of him I knew he could batter me down if he wanted to but I knew he was trying to force me to scream out again as he pinched in at me while he drove me down and I wanted to be able to defy him to remain silent in front of him. I was able to keep silent although I was sweating from the effort as he pushed me the last inch onto my knees, my face only six inches from his groin.

“Now you know what I want from you, You’d better be damn good, don’t even think about any biting or lover boy get croaked.

He unzipped and I was faced with his cock staring me in the eye. He rammed it to my lips I heard Bob shout “No don’t let him Tam, try to bite it off the bastard, I’ll be OK”.

But I couldn’t take the risk I opened my lips and slowly took Onyx’s cock into my mouth. He was large not quite as long but certainly thicker than Bob, I needed to open my mouth wide to accommodate him as he came to rest, his cockhead just pressing at the back of my throat. He grabbed my hair and shouted “come on bitch lets see what you can do”. I pulled back a bit, he allowed me to, and started to suck and lick along his length. I could hear Bob cursing Onyx as I worked on him. I looked across at Bob he was standing on tip toe pulling on his chain trying to get free. Onyx slapped me bringing my attention back to him, then he started to pull me back and forward by my hair using my mouth as a surrogate vagina.

“Come on you slut work at it or I’ll kill him in front of you” he snarled.

I was doing my best sucking and licking at him as he pumped in at me but he was going too deep making me gag. I heard my tormentor begin to moan as I continued to suck at him. He started to stiffen and I tried to pull away but he had me firmly by the hair and started to thrust himself further and further down into me. He forced his cock deep down into my throat, as I started to gag he came filling my mouth and throat with his cum. “Swallow it all down you slut there plenty more for the rest of you yet” he shouted down at me as he held himself deep within my throat. I had plenty of his cum forced down my throat before he softened in my mouth and I was able to push him out with my tongue and spit any of his remaining slimy salty load out my mouth.

“Bastard, how dare you do that to me”.

“I dare cause I beat you you little bitch, it’s called the right of conquest”.

Bob had almost shouted himself horse but as I looked up I could see some tears in his eyes, this must be as bad for him as it was for me. I had to try and end this. I’d beg and plead if it would help but I didn’t think it would. “Onyx, please you’ve proved yourself and have beaten me completely just take my gem and leave us both alone, I can’t do anything to you without the gem, please just leave us alone.

“No way you little bitch, I wanted you and now I’ve got you I’m going to rape you anyway I like and for as long as I like. If your man up there doesn’t like it too bad. Hey are you afraid you’re going to find me so much better ?. Anyway when I take your gem you’ll be dead so I wouldn’t wish your time away. I might just leave him alive though I want people to know what happened. Hey you up there do you want your own slot on ‘True Crimes’ telling the world how you felt as you watched me hump your girlfriend the superheroine”.

“You bastard, leave her alone or else so help me I’ll kill you with my bare hands superpowers or not” Bob tried to kick out but Onyx was well out of range.

I was silent still kneeling in front of Onyx, I was in shock, my throat felt raw I could feel his slime at the back of my mouth and dripping down my chin. I was thinking about what Onyx had said I guess after being beaten up and then having him force himself on me I hadn’t really put two and two together. I had tried once and knew I couldn’t remove my Sapphire it was a living part of me now. I guess the only way was to prise it out of my skull. Onyx didn’t look like the gentle brain surgeon type so I guess when he took my gem it was going to be the end of me. I felt empty inside, a huge cold emptiness, I’d lost a fight, a single damn fight, and I was going to end up dead. I just wasn’t prepared for any of this.

Onyx pushed me down on my back from where I was kneeling, with my arms still tied behind my back I couldn’t do anything to break my fall and when I hit the floor with my head it knocked me senseless for a minute. I was brought back as the pain swelled up in my arm again. The pain was really bad, I guessed my am was broken, but at least it jolted me out of my despair, I had to find a way out of this for Bob and me, failure was most definitely not an option I could survive.

Onyx and Bob were shouting at each other I was not really listening to the detail it was Onyx goading Bob describing what he was going to do with me, Bob was losing it totally he was a strong guy and Onyx was pushing him too far, despite of how trapped he’d got him.

As I’d been pushed straight back from kneeling on my knees my feet had got trapped under my butt and basically I was now lying resting most of my weight on my neck and shoulders with my arms tied under me my hands brushing against my feet. From Onyx’s position it must have looked inviting as hell my pubes were raised up to him and my knees were sticking up, I couldn’t keep them tightly closed together in this position, it was giving him all the wrong signals. He virtually leapt on me with a growl of lust and pulled my knees apart looking straight down at my crotch. It was terrifying to be forced open like that but it let my feet free and released my legs from the terrible strain they’d been under as my butt finally hit the floor. He grabbed at the front panel of my panties and pulled hard, my panties ripped apart at the sides and ended up in his hands, he laughed and waved them above his head in triumph causing Bob to start swearing at him again.

I watched Onyx in disbelief as he sniffed at my torn panties, it was disgusting to think this brute was going to rape me but to do that as well, Oh it was just too gross.

“Hey Lover boy, your woman has a good strong scent looks like you’d started her off well tonite, did you manage to get into her or did she keep her legs closed on you?. Well she hasn’t got that choice with me”.

I felt ashamed, my panties must have held my earlier scent of arousal when Bob had been stroking me, it was further humiliation. Onyx was just starting at my crotch I felt myself becoming redder and redder in the face with shame as he gazed down at my most intimate region.

“Hell woman where’s your fur gone you’re so smooth down there. I reckon you’ve got the sweetest tidiest slit in the world”.

He was cupping my shaved pudenda his hand rubbing against my labia, feeling me, taking me all in his hand. I had to keep my pubes free of hair since I’d changed my costume there was no other way to keep tidy, he was making it just so embarrassing for me, making me feel so small and dirty. Suddenly he pushed a finger straight into me. I squealed from the surprise and pain, I was dry. I knew he was going to do it sometime it was just the speed and violence of it. He pulled out of me again causing me more pain.

“You bitch you can’t keep me out by being dry like that, don’t pretend you didn’t enjoy me down your throat. I’ll just have to heat you up”.

He started to slobber over my breasts, licking and sucking my nipples, he might have thought he was doing a good job of stimulating me but my nipps were still too painful to appreciate any contact. He started to squeeze my breasts but it felt as if he was juicing oranges, as he squeezed and turned. The bastard tried to kiss me on the mouth, I bucked and squirmed shaking my head to keep him away. I had given up hope of avoiding the rape but, crazy though it seems, kissing was just to intimate a thing to let him do to me I wasn’t going to let him without a major fight. I was screaming at him and looking to bite him every time he got near my mouth. He eventually gave up after a few minutes but then he just punched me full in the face nearly knocking me out and splitting my lip. He shoved my torn panties in my mouth to shut me up and went back to work on my breasts leaving me in more pain, drifting in and out of consciousness.

I felt his finger slide in me again but this time I was wet enough to allow him to start finger fucking me I tried to scream out but the panties were still jammed in my mouth. I tried to squirm away from him and get his fingers out of me but he was to strong and too heavy I couldn’t move him, all my struggles and bucking was doing was exciting him. I went limp deciding to virtually play dead as he raped me.

He continued fingering me I doubt if he noticed I’d stop moving. But then he started to tweak my clitty. I tried to ignore it but he kept on flicking at my clitty as he pumped his fingers into me. I couldn’t stop myself from getting aroused, I started to bite down on the panties to stop myself from moaning as he kept on stimulating me. I started to feel my nipples expand one of my first sign of impending climax.

He stopped fingering me, than God the pressure between my legs lifted, I felt my nipples shrink back. He grabbed me by the back of my knees pulling my legs up and folding them back so my knees were pushing into my breasts. The bastard was going to try for maximum penetration, I pushed him off me flinging him off the floor for a second my leg muscles were incredible strong but he held on to my legs and then fell on one leg immobilising it. I couldn’t think what the hell he was doing but I started to batter him with my other leg, I reckoned I was doing damage when he suddenly turned and made his fingers into a thick wedge and dived them towards my groin. I figured he was going to punch me straight in my pussy and prepared myself for the pain but instead he hit me twice very fast and very hard just in the creases where my legs meet my trunk, That hurt like hell but worse my legs went completely numb I couldn’t move them, he’d paralysed my legs totally.

“Try and stop me would you lets see you try that again”. He spread my legs wide on the floor I just couldn’t close them. I was totally open, slick and ready for him.

Bob was crying now mixing shouts and cries as he told me not to worry he’d save me, and to fight as hard as I could to keep away from Onyx.

I wish I could have fought Onyx off but I was totally helpless I couldn’t move anything to protect myself. As I felt Onyx push his cock into me I started crying mainly from frustration I was a superheroine I protected people but I couldn’t even stop myself being raped and killed, what a phoney.

Onyx was big I first tried to lock my vaginal muscle to keep him out but he was too strong and he’d made me too slick for that so then I dilated myself as far as I could. He slid into me with no resistance and I just kept myself dilated as he started to thrust. I figured I could manage to be so open that he’d get no pleasure from me, I was wrong he had other plans.

He hit me and slapped me around the face. “Tighten up you bitch or I’ll make Tarzan up there swing. Start using your muscles you little whore I want to feel you tight against me”.

I could see Bob desperately pulling at the ceiling chain I thought he was being strangled by Onyx so I started to grip my violator with my vaginal muscles. Pulsing against him squeezing him inside of me anything to stop him hurting Bob. I was being pummelled my breast were being flattened by his chest as he thrust deeply into me . He was causing me pain to my trapped arms with every thrust but he didn’t care. He just kept pounding away at me.

I started to feel a building pressure between my legs I was horrified as I started to feel my body respond to him, I know it sounds insane, I was being raped in front of the man I loved by my mortal enemy. I was consciously hating every second but somewhere in my subconscious a million year old program working my vagina was sending out powerful signals I could feel myself start to move my hips making it easier for me and him. I tried to stop but what with having to squeeze him as he pumped into me and nature I started to build towards an orgasm. I tried, God did I try, to stop my self but he was thrusting too long too fast and too hard I felt myself moaning and screaming as I came I was bucking under him as I felt him stiffen and felt a terrible heat in my vagina as he came deep within me filling me with his sperm.

“Nooo!!“ I yelled at the top of my orgasm as I felt him emptying into me alternating between my moaning and his animalistic grunts the bastard had used me completely I’d been completely defeated I had nothing of myself left I’d been taken over by him.

As he stopped grunting he slid out of me and started laughing “They all come in the end, virgin or whore, no matter how hard they try to stop it I always make them come, they can’t stop themselves when I’m in them, stupid bitches..

Those were agonising words they cut straight through me, I wondered how many women he’d forced himself on. How many had heard those words before me. I could feel my hot tears running down my face and his cold semen seeping out of my pussy and dripping onto the floor, pooling under my buttocks.

As he got off me my legs were still wide spread incapable of movement, I felt like a broken doll smashed by the neighbourhood bully. He stood up and bent over me sneering as he grabbed me by the shoulders and sat me up. Only one more hole to try to complete you. Let's put you over the couch, it should make a good picture for the boyfriend, something for him to remember you by before I let him see me kill you.

He picked me up I was totally helpless; no control over my legs, my arms tied behind me the pain as he moved me was crushing. I couldn’t hear as he draped me over the arm of the couch positioning me with my butt raised and head in the cushion ready for his next violation of my body, I saw rather than heard Bob shout at Onyx. Suddenly the villain left me I saw him walk over to Bob, he looked furious. Oh God what was he going to do? “Don’t hurt him please!” I shouted out just as Bob smashed a bottle of wine straight into Onyx’s forehead, splintering the glass over the dark gem and knocking the villain unconscious.

Onyx reeled back falling to the floor momentarily stunned. Bob jumped up and down holding onto his chain and managed to wrench it free from the ceiling. He’d been weakening it for some time and while Onyx was busy raping me had managed to swing far enough to grab the second of our bottles of wine from the table to be his weapon, this was my man. Bob’s fall pitched him close to the slowly stirring Onyx Bob immediately started kicking and punching the dazed villain, but it was no good with his superpowers Onyx started to recover and get up despite of Bob’s blows.

I had been stunned by what was happening but finally I called out “Bob please free my hands then we’ll finish him, come on Bob free my arms. Bob was brave and a powerful fighter but as Onyx recovered Bob’s mortal strength would be no use, I had to be free and had to be Sapphire if we wanted to survive.

Bob understood as he saw Onyx revive and ran over to me clutching some broken glass and cut through the pantyhose securing my arms. My damaged right arm flopped down uselessly at my side but my left was functional. I wiped it across my forehead and felt the power of the gem start to flow into my brutalised body. I still couldn’t move my legs and was draped over the chair’s arm but I took aim with my left arm as Onyx started to charge over to us. Bob was standing firm by my side preparing to defend me from the murderous villain, or die in the attempt. I fired off a devastating bolt of energy catching Onyx’s right side, I saw his dark shield flare as my strong Sapphire power broke through lancing into his body, I heard him scream then the room filled with an inky blackness making it impossible to see. I thought we were doomed that I’d lost my chance to neutralise Onyx and that he’d strike us both down any second.

But there was no attack the darkness gradually cleared from the room, there was no sign of Onyx. But on the floor near where he had stood I could see his severed arm, my energy had ripped it from his body. He must have used darkness like an injured squid used it’s ink to evade danger, escaping with his life and leaving us with ours.

Bob knelt down on the floor by my face I was incapable of moving even though I could start to feel the healing power of the gem repairing me; rebuilding the nerves to my legs, mending my bones.

“Tam how could he, that bastard what he did to you it was .., I just couldn’t stop him I’m so sorry”.

As I said Bob is really sweet and does care for me so much. He’d just saved me from a certain death by risking his life for me and he was only sorry he hadn’t done it sooner. I, we both started to cry as he gently hugged me curling around me, trying to cover me from any more hurt. I felt safe and secure in his arms


Aftermath (1).

I got Bob to ring into the Haven we needed their help urgently. A medical unit from Haven, including Dr. Mycroft came out and picked us up whisking us straight to Mercy Hospital where we were put into separate rooms and stabilised. Bob had numerous cuts, severely torn neck muscles, a damaged larynx and several dislocated vertebrae, he was very lucky with some of the vertebrae he could so easily have been killed. I had broken my shoulder and arm, had some nerve damage to my legs and had some painful internal injuries I won’t go into. In a way I was luckier my gem was helping with the healing process I would probably be fit before Bob. I had to have the same tests and precautions as Lightning, luckily it turned out that although Onyx had been a rat he’d at least he’d been a clean rat.

As for Onyx, no one had found him, or his body, he’d just vanished. His arm provided the finger prints that revealed he was actually a Lawrence Carter. Carter was a chiropractor who had been arrested about four years previously for raping of one of his patients. He had vanished before his trial and had last been seen in the hills north of Kensington. The time and the place fitted I guessed he must have found his gem much as I found mine, only he had already chosen his evil path, the gem’s power must have caused many women to suffer.

Bob and I were soon demanding to be put together and rapidly arranged a joint room, no way were we going to be parted by officialdom after what we’d been through. Lightning was much recovered and visited us every day, we three made up a real neat mix for card games if we didn’t have to move fast. Bob could be trusted with her identity he already knew all about me, several long conversations deep into the nite let him into my whole life.

Physiologically everything seemed fine between Bob and I for about a month, more or less till we left hospital. Then things seemed to break down totally we couldn’t talk to each other and didn’t want to be near each other. The Haven’s psychologist, Dr. Brent Cardhue, diagnosed we’d been through too much together seen too much of each others raw emotions. He suggested a course of hypnotherapy to relieve things. We decided to give it a try, we had nothing to lose by then.


Aftermath (2)

Bob was slowly rowing our boat on the stream, we were heading to a picnic spot we’d been to before. The weather was good and the food in the hamper smelled great. It was a secluded spot and I reckoned love was most definitely in the air, if we took things gently. After all we were both still resting after our car accident, it must have been a hell of a wreck to have knocked me out, thank God Bob was there to pull me out. If he only he knew he’d saved a superheroine from certain death it would certainly perk up his day. Still better that he never knew that I could protect him so much better than he could protect me, it would be so bad for his ego.

THE END
