Hellbent: Picture Perfect

A photoshoot. Great. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s for a swimsuit calendar and because it’s going out to Meta Life members this fall, the company wants heroines only. Of course that means me.

Kaitlyn O’Hern, the woman also known as Kai Steel, stares out of the window in the car as she nervously thinks about the shoot. Kaitlyn had no idea why she ever agreed to take this job as spokeswoman for Meta Life. It honestly felt more like they just wanted her to PR for the company while whoring her steel-covered rear out at every opportunity. Maybe that wasn’t fair. They did take good care of her. Here she was riding in a nice car, being chauffeured all the way over to a private beach in Eden and she was still being paid a bonus just to do this calendar shoot.

As the Chrysler 300 sedan limo crossed the Old Angel Falls Bridge over Cherub Bay, Kaitlyn forgot about how uncomfortable it was going to be standing around half naked all afternoon. The view of the bay from the bridge was breath taking. She had never been out to any of the islands in Angel Falls before this.

“David, may I open the window, please?” Kaitlyn asks eagerly, leaning towards the driver’s seat.

“Of course, Miss Steel. Shall I open the sunroof as well?”

“Yes, if you would please, and David? Please stop with the Miss Steel. I prefer if you called me Kai.” David was a young man, about 24 years old. He was very accommodating, but he had a habit of using formalities even when no one was around.

“Yes Miss Steel, I remember. I’m sorry, but Mr.-“ David begins.

“Right, never mind. It’s fine.” Kaitlyn sighs quietly. She forgets about everything and lets the world melt away as the fresh sea air pours in the open windows. The sun would feel so wonderful right now if she hadn’t needed to transform before riding out here. It would appear it’s about time to play Kai Steel already, speaking of which.

The sedan pulled through a gated access point and David parked it just outside of a large bungalow. Dave quickly came around to open the door before Kai even thought to reach for the handle. Stepping out of the car, she took in the view of the beautiful beach front and the rather modern, but obviously lavish bungalow.

“Thank you, Dave.”

“Of course, Ma ‘am.” David opens the trunk and pulls out a garment bag, the contents of which Kai has yet to be shown. She gave serious thought to taking it from David and taking it herself, but she was all too aware of how much he’d fuss about it. Instead, Kai just followed behind David as he walked up to the bungalow’s front door. Before his hand even began to reach for the knocker, the door flew open.

“Ah! Miss Steel! Wonderful! Please come in. My name is Jean LaClaire, and I am the set producer for the shoot, but of course you already knew that!”

Kai had absolutely no idea who this lanky, Calvin Klein poster child was, but it was apparent he thought everyone should. She wasn’t sure if Jean was truly French or if he was just playing the part because it was somehow expected. He just kept right on talking about all of his accomplishments amongst about a hundred other things. Kai wasn’t really listening anymore. She just followed him obediently with a polite smile as Jean walked her through the bar, kitchen, and then down a wing to a room.

“…and this is your wardrobe room. Miss Reese is right across the hall, and let me tell you. I am such a fan! So, it will just be the two of you this afternoon along with Ms. Olsen, who is down the hall. Maiva is our on-site fashionista. All of today’s swimwear are her designs, and she made several different outfits for each girl. She will direct you as to what you shall be wearing and how. Ah! Here she is now. Maiva, this is Kai Steel. Please get her dressed for the set like ten minutes ago. The other girls are already on the beach and the lighting is perfect.” Jean walks off, still talking as he disappears around the corner.

“Miss Steel, let’s head into the room and get you ready, if you would please.” Maiva is a dark skinned, middle aged woman who is rather attractive. Given the rather provocative way she is dressed, it’s likely the dark fashionista is aware of that fact.

“It’s just Kai, please.” Kai says as she heads into the room. Maiva takes the garment bag from David and shoos him away before closing the door.

“That’s what Miss Reese said also, but we are professionals here Miss Steel.”

Kai smirks and asks, “Sapphira Reese asked you to call her Kai also?” Given the eat-shit-and-die look Kai received, it was a pretty good guess that her attempt to break the ice failed miserably. They must not believe in fun around here, she guessed. The sooner she could get this over with, the better.

“Of the three pieces of swimwear, did any not fit appropriately?” Maiva asks as she begins withdrawing the aforementioned swimwear from the garment bag.

“Actually, I have never seen them before now…” Kai had no idea she was supposed to try them on before hand. If metal could blush, she was certain that she’d be bright crimson.

Maiva just stared at Kai like she had grown another head. “Never mind. Take off everything down to your undergarments and step over by the stool.”

“Can’t I just change and see how they fit… You know. Alone? I mean-“

“I don’t care how big you are, Miss Steel. I will remove that Dolce & Gabbana suit like it came from Target. Clothes off now, and put this on.” Maiva sounded a lot like Kai’s mother, and before she knew it, her clothes were folded on the bed and she stood stark naked. Maiva put the suggested swimsuit up to Kai’s torso, then dropped it to the floor. She tossed another onto the bed and handed Kai the last one: A two-piece that was chocolate brown and bright green. “Put this on. These colors will be perfect for your skin color. The cut will also fit better as you are a little wide in the hips. Because of that, and your height, the thick band on the briefs will bisect your body at the widest point and give the illusion that you are not quite so… Big.”

“I normally appreciate honesty, but maybe you could soften it with a few little white lies now and then,” Kai mumbles as she pulls on the bikini briefs. The top was built with very thick bands and was obviously designed for her body. She clasps the band around her chest and then pulls the neck straps up and ties them when they feel snug enough. Looking in the mirror, Kai wasn’t too sure about how comfortable she’d be wearing this outside. Not that she had much time to dwell on it. Maiva was already ushering her out the back foyer and onto the beach. There was a silk canopy set up outside and she could hear Jean’s voice coming from inside.

Closer to the water’s edge, Kai could see two women going through poses and half a dozen photographers snapping away with their cameras. One of which was probably Kai’s favorite Triple F fighter, Sapphira Reese. The second was Babs Olsen, an upstart female pro wrestler who had become quite popular with the die-hard fans of the sport. Both women were posing for different shoots, but everytime Babs looked in Sapphira’s direction her face had a look of disgust on it. She was most certainly a beautiful woman, athletic yet slender, very well proportioned, and she had beautiful blonde hair spilling down about her shoulders. Kai supposed Babs’ apparent dislike of Sapphira must stem from the fact that no matter how beautiful she may be, next to the light caramel skinned Sapphira, Babs may as well have been the girl next door. Kai certainly sympathized with her, as she felt like a Plain Jane.

Kai takes her eyes off of the two far more beautiful women and walks up to the silken refuge. “Jean, um, where do you…” Kai starts, unsure just what she should be doing.

“Ah! Yes, yes! Miss Steel. Go down with Miss Reese and Clive will see to getting you started.” Jean then dismisses Kai and turns to looks down the beach at Babs. “Miss Olsen! Take a break!” He yells, practically in Kai’s ear. Babs Olsen appears frustrated as she stomps up towards Jean’s canopy. She looks to be a little younger than Kai had assumed, her ample chest making the red, white, and blue bikini jiggle as she stomps up the beach in a manner that would mesmerize any man. Babs looks Kai over in what could only be called disgust before proceeding to tear into Jean LaClaire’s deaf ears. Kai feels a little more self-conscious than she already had, but walks down to meet her photographer and Sapphira Reese anyway.

Upon spotting the large metal woman, Sapphira Reese watches as Kai makes her way through the photography equipment and over to where she’s standing.

“Hi Miss Reese. I’m Kai Steel. I am absolutely floored to be meeting you in person! I got to see one of your fights at the Angel Dome last summer when you fought Claire Black.”

“Yeah and I beat her ass good. Lookin at you though, I’d say you’d been eatin’ whatever it is Yolanda’s been puttin’ down, tall as you are!” Sapphira Reese winks with a smile and extends a hand. Kai takes it and is amazed at the strength of Sapphira’s grip. “Call me Phira. That Miss Reese shit is for the birds. Come on. They want us to do some paired shots before they hit you up for your session.” Sapphira turns around and walks towards a set director, who’s actually brushing the sand, while dragging Kai behind her. Kai can’t help but notice just how beautiful Sapphira Reese was, more so in person than on tv or in pictures. She had to be the only woman Playpet didn’t airbrush for a photoshoot. She was wearing an exotic one-piece that managed to somehow cover up less than Kai’s two-piece. Sapphira’s bottom was one step shy of a thong, the perfect curvature of her posterior pumping with every step. Kai thought she herself had a ghetto booty, but Phira’s made Kai’s just look plain ghetto. The words “BAD AZZ” were boldly tattooed on the small of her back. Eyes scanning upwards, Kai looked at the cybernetic implants running up Sapphira’s spine, disappearing behind her long, raven hair. She absently began to wonder if it would be dangerous to use her abilities near Sapphira for fear of destroying all the metal in her body.

“You look like you’re constipated. Ya need to loosen up some if you’re gunna get through this crap. It’s not so bad, you just need to have a little fun, is all! Ain’t that right, Clive?” Sapphira slaps a photographer, who must be Clive, on the rear as she drags Kai to the spot the director just had brushed flat.

“Miss Reese, I wish you wouldn’t do that…” the young redheaded man named Clive complains as he gently rubs the area upon which Sapphira likely left a hand-sized bruise.

“Sometimes havin fun comes at someone else’s expense,” Sapphira whispers towards Kai with a devious grin. “Hey Clive, hurry it up already. I am friggin’ hungry and you cheap-asses didn’t provide nothin’ but water. Do we look like anorexic underwear models to you? There’s a burger joint right up the damn street! Why don’t you send the freakin’ lighting boy to go make a food run. I mean who the fuck needs lighting when we are standing under the noon sun, on the beach?”

“Miss Reese, please. I already told you two minutes ago that we sent Penny to get you something from the Burger Barn. Can we get in some shots while the lighting is perfect?” Clive, obviously used to Sapphira’s antagonizing by this point, doesn’t even look up from loading his cameras.

“Alright, damn! Let’s take some pictures already.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen storms back up to the bungalow and heads straight for her room. She slows down when she notices her door is ajar. Quietly padding up to the door, Babs reaches out to push the door open when a man’s deep voice stops her.

“It’s just me Babs. Come in and close the door.”

Babs Olsen walks into the room and closes the door behind her. The man she knows as Silverback is sitting in one of the lounge chairs that make up the small seating area portion of Babs’ room. Silverback is a large man, middle aged, and he keeps his jet-black, yet graying, hair pulled back. He is resting a hand on a black case sitting atop the end table.

“That jerk pulled me off the shoot for the big metal bitch! Can you believe that? She isn’t nearly as hot as me! I mean really! On a scale of one to ten, she’s onl-“

“Babs. Shut it. That’s not why we are here and you know it. This wasn’t all worked out by You-know-who just so that you could play calendar girl.” Silverback motions for Babs to sit down opposite himself.

Babs plops down on the sofa with a sigh. “I could totally kick that bitch’s metal ass.” She drops her chin into the palm of her hand and glares.

“You will get your chance.” Silverback opens the case and lifts the lid. The interior is lined with foam. One side has two cutouts in the liner containing a pair of 18-inch long cylinders. Each cylinder has a glass vial of green liquid inserted into one end while the opposite ends are capped with needles nearly half the width of a normal woman’s pinky finger.

“That’s them? How are we supposed to inject her with one when she’s all, you know, metal?” Babs Olsen cocks her head to the side with a look of disbelief.

Silverback removes a cylinder from the case and holds it before Babs, who leans forward intently. “I am surprised you even thought to ask. I asked the very same question when they were given to me. The good Doctor told me, ‘You see, the reason they are so large is because of what they do. Obviously a normal needle wouldn’t penetrate the Steel Bitch’s hide because it’s too thick, much like Babsy’s skull.’”

“He said what?!”

“Let me finish. He also said, ’To defeat this little problem, I acquired these little gems. When you press the activation switch, that’s the one labeled ‘on’ for Babs, these injectors will allow the needle to penetrate nearly any material. The needle works on the principle of nano molecular displacement using high frequency vibrations in a manner that allow these over-sized syringes to act like atom-splitter blades. That term is apparently trademarked by some techno junkie in one of these illustrious hi-tech corporations residing in Angel Falls. Just turn it on and stab the bitch. Once the compound takes effect, it’ll shut off her abilities and she’ll take a nice long nappy-poo. You two will have about four hours to get her ass over here before it wears off. Don’t fuck it up.’”

“He also said to let his favorite dairy cow know that if she screws this one up, she’ll be spending time in the tank.” Silverback adds with a grin before pushing one of the oversized injectors into Babs’ hand.

“Are you serious?! He did not either!” Babs shrieks as she jumps out of her seat in a fit.

“He also said to tell you ’Yes I did say that, Babsy, my dear.’” Silverback removes the second injector and stands. “Now let’s go get this chick before You-know-who lobotomizes us and we end up dumber than the Iggies.” Silverback pulls a mask over his head as his body swells. His muscles grow to abnormal proportions as his body also grows in stature. Normally standing at seven feet tall and 300 pounds, Silverback is a large man. Now nine feet tall and three times as heavy, he is a monster.

Babs on the other hand appears to be in pain, her skin turning blue. Her body begins changing from the curvy blonde woman that she was into a blue-skinned amazon. Thick fiberous strands begin weaving into horns on the sides of Babs’ head, while the muscles all along her once athletic body grow to abnormal proportions. Standing nearly as tall as Silverback, Babs becomes the massive horned woman nicknamed the Blue Ox.

Babs’ bikini does not survive her transformation into the massive new form. “Where is my outfit bag, Sil?” She looks around the room unable to locate what she is looking for.

“You forgot it like I said you would. Just put on the bikini with the cowprint. That’s about as close to your silly wrestling outfit as you are going to get. Let’s go.” Silverback heads out the door, making his way to the beach photoshoot.

“Dammit. Alright, I’m coming.” Babs quickly pulls on the new bikini and tucks the injector into one of the straps, then follows Silverback.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai Steel and Sapphira stood back to back, hands entwined. Sapphira’s plump lips form a seductive pout as she leans into the larger metal woman. Kai leans her head back over her shoulder, biting her lower lip. Turning slowly, Sapphira tugs Kai around to face her. Reaching up to the much taller woman, Sapphira puts her hand behind Kai’s head, forearm resting on her neck in a lover’s caress. She gently pulls the steel woman down towards her, their noses touch, their lips a breath apart.

“Okay, perfect ladies! That’s the end of that roll. Take five and we’ll set up for the next series. Oh, and Miss Reese? Penny has the food you requested at the refreshment table,” Clive says as he turns to start directing the rest of the team for the next setup.

Sapphira lets Kai go and taps her metal lips with a forefinger. “Damn girlie! Were you tryin to make out with me or what?” The exotic beauty smirks devilishly.

“Wha-I-you… I wasn-“ Kai stammers.

“I’m just fuckin’ with ya! Let’s see about some damn grub!” With that, Sapphira lopes off towards the refreshment table with the look of a lioness on the prowl. Penny looks up from setting out the spread she hauled back from the Burger Barn and quickly backs away from the table with a yelp. Kai stands right were Sapphira left her, watching the other woman raid the best Burger Barn has to offer. She doesn’t even notice the crew all heading back to the bungalow for more equipment and film.

Kai also failed to notice the two large forms of the Blue Ox and Silverback charging headlong in her direction. With the sound a hammer striking an anvil, both of the giant meta humans drove shoulders into Kai’s back and side, her body tossed a few yards back.

Hearing the loud impact, Sapphira Reese turns around to look back in the direction of Kai Steel, half a Big Moo Burger hanging out of her mouth. Seeing the two meta humans standing over Kai’s prone form, she spits it out. “What the Hell?” The woman with the blue skin pulls out some kind of oversized syringe and kneels down over Kai Steel, who is only just starting to get past being dazed. Sapphira Reese runs across the sand at full speed and delivers a kick to the blue bitch’s gut that would make any NFL coach proud.

The large man in black and silver turns towards Sapphira after taking a step back. “You needn’t involve yourself in our affairs,” Silverback states, as he cracks his knuckles and neck. He thumbs his nose and takes an offensive stance.

“Well you best consider me fuckin’ involved.” Sapphira turns her body to avoid the punch Silverback throws. His large fist whistles by and Sapphira smiles. “I hope that ain’t you’re A-game, otherwise this’ll be quick.” The man growls and comes at her again. She begins moving him away from Kai as the steel woman stands up, a look of rage contorting her face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai Steel had no idea what was going on, but as she watched Sapphira fight a large man in black, she knew she was going to get some answers. She turned to look at the horned, blue-skinned girl getting up from the sand where Sapphira left her. Kai was tired of this crap. Everyone felt the need to push her around. She’d had enough.

Standing up, Kai Steel stood every last centimeter of her eight-foot, four-inch frame. She watched as the blue woman picked up a large injector from the sand and turned towards Kai.

Screaming in anger, the Blue Ox charged straight for Kai’s midsection, horns held low. She came at the metal woman like a truck. Kai caught both horns and was pushed backwards by the charge. She was strong, but that couldn’t save her from physics. Kai dropped to her back and kicked the horned woman overhead.

Kai rolled up to stand over the Blue Ox. “You picked the wrong day and…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“…the wrong woman. You really should get out more,” Sapphira says to Silverback, as she ducks under another punch before driving a fist under his solar plexus. Silverback violently expels the air from his lungs. Sapphira then comes up under his arm and wraps it behind her, following up with a strike from her elbow into his armpit. She feels his shoulder dislocate with a wet pop and he roars in pain. Sapphira then rolls around in front of the large man and using the momentum of her spin to pivot off her hips, Sapphira jabs Silverback in the eye socket with a rock-hard fist. He rocks back, stumbles, and falls face-first into the sand moaning in pain. “I’m sorry, I didn’t make that out.” Sapphira tears the mask from Silverback’s head and he spits blood onto the sand. “Huh. Ain’t you a lil old to be messin with younger girls?”

Silverback reaches out with his good arm and yanks Sapphira’s legs out from underneath her. She hits the sand hard and rolls away quickly and stands up. Silverback whips around with a roundhouse kick, catching the recovering Sapphira in the side of the neck and sending her sprawling.

Sapphira lifts her head up to look at the large man. “So you have a little fight left in ya, huh?” Before she gets up, Silverback drops an axe kick, aimed for her head. She feels the heavy blow whip by as she dodges out of the way. Sapphira returns the favor by reaching out and jerking his leg upwards and out. Off balance, the giant of a man is thrown on his back. Not one to sit idle, Sapphira gets up and throws herself towards Silverback, dropping on his chest hard with both knees. The dense musculature isn’t enough to prevent a few ribs from breaking and he rolls over, doubled in pain before Sapphira kicks him hard in the side rollinghim onto his stomach.

Looking at the fallen giant, Sapphira notices the injector in the back of his belt and takes it before she straddles the large man from behind. Pulling his good arm around his back, she uses it and pain to pull Silverback up towards her. “Let’s see what this does, shall we?” Without pressing the activation button, Sapphira reaches around and stabs the large needle into his chest. The autoplunger injects the green liquid into his bloodstream. Once it’s empty, She tosses it into the sand. The effects are almost immediate. Silverback begins to diminish in size and become less muscular. “Oh shit! It’s some kinda anti-meta serum!” She looks over to see Kai Steel locked in combat with the big blue bitch, who has the second injector in hand…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Ox had Kai’s right arm pinned behind her back while locking her in a choke hold. The blue woman reversed her grip on the injector and slid her arm away from Kai’s neck, bringing it into a position to ram it into the steel woman’s chest. Grabbing the injector as it plunged downward, Kai was able to prevent it from penetrating her skin… Barely. This woman was incredibly strong. Kai couldn’t push her arm back, merely hold it immobile. She could hear the blue giantess grit her teeth and felt the plunger getting closer by a hair’s breadth. The arm Blue Ox held pinned was caught between Kai’s back and the Blue Ox’s chest. Looping a finger under part of the other woman’s bikini top, Kai flicked her wrist and felt it slip beneath a blue breast. While Blue Ox didn’t let go, it was enough to distract her. The horned woman loosened her hold in surprise just enough for Kai to throw her over a shoulder and into the sand.

Blue Ox immediately recovered and stood up only to find Kai Steel standing before her, injector in hand. “I believe you lost something.”

“You bitch! What the Hell makes you so special that he would want YOU?!” she screams and swings a mighty blue fist at Kai’s face. Kai rolls with the punch and counters with a backhanded swing into the Blue Ox’s temple. She feels the blue woman’s cheekbone crack.

“He?! Did HE send you?! Are you doing Jaren’s dirty work?” Kai throws the injector across the beach as Blue Ox uppercuts her in the stomach. Kai feels the breath being forced out of her lungs, but uses the natural reaction of her folding body to smash her head against that of the blue woman. The blue flesh of her nose gushes a stream of blood and she cries out in pain.

“I don’t work for that creep, you stupid bitch!” The giant blue woman barely manages to get out before Kai drops a double over-hand blow to her clavicle. Blue Ox drops in agony. Kai sees red and doesn’t hear the blue woman’s cries. She can only see the face of the man who haunts her nightmares: Jaren Lawrence. Kai straddles the larger woman as she falls on her back, and throws punch after punch into the Blue Ox. She feels bones threatening to give way and blood splatter. The Blue Ox tries to defend herself, her previously demonstrated strength seemingly a fading memory. Kai screams and lifts her fists above her head.

A pair of strong hands stay her blow. Kai Steel turns on her new aggressor only to find Sapphira Reese standing over her. Kai looks down to see the Blue Ox warding off the blow that is no longer coming.

Looking at her hands, Kai is horrified by what she has done. Without even thinking to, she releases her ability and as a mist rises from her skin, Kai’s body shrinks down and returns to normal.

Feeling the difference in weight, The blue giantess pushes, the now much weaker, Kai off of her and moves to get up, and up she goes. Sapphira Reese lifts Blue Ox by her neck and thigh before side-slinging her to land face down a few yards distant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen’s face twists in rage. That bitch was going to die! She rolls off of her back and to her stomach in an effort to launch herself full bore at the tan beauty. Feeling a new and intense pain, Babs looks down at her chest and sees the second injector, the green serum quickly being pumped into her body. She falls face down into the sand, no longer the powerful Blue Ox, and no longer conscious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wounds she suffered at Jaren’s hands are still too new, and now she has lost control. Just like she did all those years ago when that bastard tried to force himself on her… It was all too much for her to deal with, but then that is what he wanted. He was getting his wish and she was giving it to him. Kai knew this was something she had to deal with, and soon, but it didn’t make things any easier. She laid in the sand where Blue Ox had shoved her, staring at the blue sky. The beautiful face of Sapphira Reese, framed by that dark hair, partially blocks her view.

“Comon. I think we’ve had enough of the beach for today.” She pulls Kai up to her feet, who in turn collapses into Sapphira’s arms and starts sobbing quietly.

“Just let it all out, girl. Just let it all out,” Sapphira wraps an arm around the naked wreck that had been Kai Steel. She runs a hand through the other woman’s hair and walks her back up to the bungalow, grabbing a silk sheet from Jean’s canopy. Sapphira wraps it protectively around Kai’s shoulders, as it would seem they had attracted quite an audience.

“I’m sorry, Phira. I messed up…”

“Hell you did. That bitch deserved what she got far as I’m concerned. She’s lucky she got a taste of her own medicine or I’d ‘a fucked her up so bad her momma would be feelin’ it.” Sapphira flexes and winks. Kai smiles.

“What should we do about them?” Kai asks, indicating the two prone forms in the sand.

“We’ll call SCU. I doubt those two are goin anywhere by the looks of ‘em.”

“Thanks Phira. I… I’m glad you were here today.”

With a far-off look in her eyes, Sapphira smiles. After needing shoulders to cry on herself lately, it felt good to be there for someone else this time. “Well, the day ain’t over yet and someone interrupted my lunch. Let’s get you dressed again and I’ll take you to get some good eatin, my treat. Unless you prefer to walk around naked, cause I’m sure no one would mind, miss curves.” Kai pulls the sheet tighter and Sapphira laughed so loudly the residents on the mainland probably heard her.

Kai manages to smile at Sapphira’s mirth, but the woman’s laughter is infectious and before Kai realizes it, she’s laughing as well. Well, things could be worse, she supposed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen and Silverback both look like they have been to Hell and back, as they stand in the elevator of an abandoned hospital. An Iggy supports each meta human. If the Doctor hadn’t sent Salamander to retrieve them, they’d both be in Tartarus by now.

Both of them wished the SCU had gotten them first.

The annoying elevator music doesn’t bother them today. The Iggies don’t seem so stupid either. They have come to see the Doctor. Unfortunately, this doctor can have a fatal bedside manner when his patients fail him.

Babs Olsen and the man known as Silverback failed.

“The Doctor will see you both now.”

Hellbent: Picture Perfect

A photoshoot. Great. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s for a swimsuit calendar and because it’s going out to Meta Life members this fall, the company wants heroines only. Of course that means me.

Kaitlyn O’Hern, the woman also known as Kai Steel, stares out of the window in the car as she nervously thinks about the shoot. Kaitlyn had no idea why she ever agreed to take this job as spokeswoman for Meta Life. It honestly felt more like they just wanted her to PR for the company while whoring her steel-covered rear out at every opportunity. Maybe that wasn’t fair. They did take good care of her. Here she was riding in a nice car, being chauffeured all the way over to a private beach in Eden and she was still being paid a bonus just to do this calendar shoot.

As the Chrysler 300 sedan limo crossed the Old Angel Falls Bridge over Cherub Bay, Kaitlyn forgot about how uncomfortable it was going to be standing around half naked all afternoon. The view of the bay from the bridge was breath taking. She had never been out to any of the islands in Angel Falls before this.

“David, may I open the window, please?” Kaitlyn asks eagerly, leaning towards the driver’s seat.

“Of course, Miss Steel. Shall I open the sunroof as well?”

“Yes, if you would please, and David? Please stop with the Miss Steel. I prefer if you called me Kai.” David was a young man, about 24 years old. He was very accommodating, but he had a habit of using formalities even when no one was around.

“Yes Miss Steel, I remember. I’m sorry, but Mr.-“ David begins.

“Right, never mind. It’s fine.” Kaitlyn sighs quietly. She forgets about everything and lets the world melt away as the fresh sea air pours in the open windows. The sun would feel so wonderful right now if she hadn’t needed to transform before riding out here. It would appear it’s about time to play Kai Steel already, speaking of which.

The sedan pulled through a gated access point and David parked it just outside of a large bungalow. Dave quickly came around to open the door before Kai even thought to reach for the handle. Stepping out of the car, she took in the view of the beautiful beach front and the rather modern, but obviously lavish bungalow.

“Thank you, Dave.”

“Of course, Ma ‘am.” David opens the trunk and pulls out a garment bag, the contents of which Kai has yet to be shown. She gave serious thought to taking it from David and taking it herself, but she was all too aware of how much he’d fuss about it. Instead, Kai just followed behind David as he walked up to the bungalow’s front door. Before his hand even began to reach for the knocker, the door flew open.

“Ah! Miss Steel! Wonderful! Please come in. My name is Jean LaClaire, and I am the set producer for the shoot, but of course you already knew that!”

Kai had absolutely no idea who this lanky, Calvin Klein poster child was, but it was apparent he thought everyone should. She wasn’t sure if Jean was truly French or if he was just playing the part because it was somehow expected. He just kept right on talking about all of his accomplishments amongst about a hundred other things. Kai wasn’t really listening anymore. She just followed him obediently with a polite smile as Jean walked her through the bar, kitchen, and then down a wing to a room.

“…and this is your wardrobe room. Miss Reese is right across the hall, and let me tell you. I am such a fan! So, it will just be the two of you this afternoon along with Ms. Olsen, who is down the hall. Maiva is our on-site fashionista. All of today’s swimwear are her designs, and she made several different outfits for each girl. She will direct you as to what you shall be wearing and how. Ah! Here she is now. Maiva, this is Kai Steel. Please get her dressed for the set like ten minutes ago. The other girls are already on the beach and the lighting is perfect.” Jean walks off, still talking as he disappears around the corner.

“Miss Steel, let’s head into the room and get you ready, if you would please.” Maiva is a dark skinned, middle aged woman who is rather attractive. Given the rather provocative way she is dressed, it’s likely the dark fashionista is aware of that fact.

“It’s just Kai, please.” Kai says as she heads into the room. Maiva takes the garment bag from David and shoos him away before closing the door.

“That’s what Miss Reese said also, but we are professionals here Miss Steel.”

Kai smirks and asks, “Sapphira Reese asked you to call her Kai also?” Given the eat-shit-and-die look Kai received, it was a pretty good guess that her attempt to break the ice failed miserably. They must not believe in fun around here, she guessed. The sooner she could get this over with, the better.

“Of the three pieces of swimwear, did any not fit appropriately?” Maiva asks as she begins withdrawing the aforementioned swimwear from the garment bag.

“Actually, I have never seen them before now…” Kai had no idea she was supposed to try them on before hand. If metal could blush, she was certain that she’d be bright crimson.

Maiva just stared at Kai like she had grown another head. “Never mind. Take off everything down to your undergarments and step over by the stool.”

“Can’t I just change and see how they fit… You know. Alone? I mean-“

“I don’t care how big you are, Miss Steel. I will remove that Dolce & Gabbana suit like it came from Target. Clothes off now, and put this on.” Maiva sounded a lot like Kai’s mother, and before she knew it, her clothes were folded on the bed and she stood stark naked. Maiva put the suggested swimsuit up to Kai’s torso, then dropped it to the floor. She tossed another onto the bed and handed Kai the last one: A two-piece that was chocolate brown and bright green. “Put this on. These colors will be perfect for your skin color. The cut will also fit better as you are a little wide in the hips. Because of that, and your height, the thick band on the briefs will bisect your body at the widest point and give the illusion that you are not quite so… Big.”

“I normally appreciate honesty, but maybe you could soften it with a few little white lies now and then,” Kai mumbles as she pulls on the bikini briefs. The top was built with very thick bands and was obviously designed for her body. She clasps the band around her chest and then pulls the neck straps up and ties them when they feel snug enough. Looking in the mirror, Kai wasn’t too sure about how comfortable she’d be wearing this outside. Not that she had much time to dwell on it. Maiva was already ushering her out the back foyer and onto the beach. There was a silk canopy set up outside and she could hear Jean’s voice coming from inside.

Closer to the water’s edge, Kai could see two women going through poses and half a dozen photographers snapping away with their cameras. One of which was probably Kai’s favorite Triple F fighter, Sapphira Reese. The second was Babs Olsen, an upstart female pro wrestler who had become quite popular with the die-hard fans of the sport. Both women were posing for different shoots, but everytime Babs looked in Sapphira’s direction her face had a look of disgust on it. She was most certainly a beautiful woman, athletic yet slender, very well proportioned, and she had beautiful blonde hair spilling down about her shoulders. Kai supposed Babs’ apparent dislike of Sapphira must stem from the fact that no matter how beautiful she may be, next to the light caramel skinned Sapphira, Babs may as well have been the girl next door. Kai certainly sympathized with her, as she felt like a Plain Jane.

Kai takes her eyes off of the two far more beautiful women and walks up to the silken refuge. “Jean, um, where do you…” Kai starts, unsure just what she should be doing.

“Ah! Yes, yes! Miss Steel. Go down with Miss Reese and Clive will see to getting you started.” Jean then dismisses Kai and turns to looks down the beach at Babs. “Miss Olsen! Take a break!” He yells, practically in Kai’s ear. Babs Olsen appears frustrated as she stomps up towards Jean’s canopy. She looks to be a little younger than Kai had assumed, her ample chest making the red, white, and blue bikini jiggle as she stomps up the beach in a manner that would mesmerize any man. Babs looks Kai over in what could only be called disgust before proceeding to tear into Jean LaClaire’s deaf ears. Kai feels a little more self-conscious than she already had, but walks down to meet her photographer and Sapphira Reese anyway.

Upon spotting the large metal woman, Sapphira Reese watches as Kai makes her way through the photography equipment and over to where she’s standing.

“Hi Miss Reese. I’m Kai Steel. I am absolutely floored to be meeting you in person! I got to see one of your fights at the Angel Dome last summer when you fought Claire Black.”

“Yeah and I beat her ass good. Lookin at you though, I’d say you’d been eatin’ whatever it is Yolanda’s been puttin’ down, tall as you are!” Sapphira Reese winks with a smile and extends a hand. Kai takes it and is amazed at the strength of Sapphira’s grip. “Call me Phira. That Miss Reese shit is for the birds. Come on. They want us to do some paired shots before they hit you up for your session.” Sapphira turns around and walks towards a set director, who’s actually brushing the sand, while dragging Kai behind her. Kai can’t help but notice just how beautiful Sapphira Reese was, more so in person than on tv or in pictures. She had to be the only woman Playpet didn’t airbrush for a photoshoot. She was wearing an exotic one-piece that managed to somehow cover up less than Kai’s two-piece. Sapphira’s bottom was one step shy of a thong, the perfect curvature of her posterior pumping with every step. Kai thought she herself had a ghetto booty, but Phira’s made Kai’s just look plain ghetto. The words “BAD AZZ” were boldly tattooed on the small of her back. Eyes scanning upwards, Kai looked at the cybernetic implants running up Sapphira’s spine, disappearing behind her long, raven hair. She absently began to wonder if it would be dangerous to use her abilities near Sapphira for fear of destroying all the metal in her body.

“You look like you’re constipated. Ya need to loosen up some if you’re gunna get through this crap. It’s not so bad, you just need to have a little fun, is all! Ain’t that right, Clive?” Sapphira slaps a photographer, who must be Clive, on the rear as she drags Kai to the spot the director just had brushed flat.

“Miss Reese, I wish you wouldn’t do that…” the young redheaded man named Clive complains as he gently rubs the area upon which Sapphira likely left a hand-sized bruise.

“Sometimes havin fun comes at someone else’s expense,” Sapphira whispers towards Kai with a devious grin. “Hey Clive, hurry it up already. I am friggin’ hungry and you cheap-asses didn’t provide nothin’ but water. Do we look like anorexic underwear models to you? There’s a burger joint right up the damn street! Why don’t you send the freakin’ lighting boy to go make a food run. I mean who the fuck needs lighting when we are standing under the noon sun, on the beach?”

“Miss Reese, please. I already told you two minutes ago that we sent Penny to get you something from the Burger Barn. Can we get in some shots while the lighting is perfect?” Clive, obviously used to Sapphira’s antagonizing by this point, doesn’t even look up from loading his cameras.

“Alright, damn! Let’s take some pictures already.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen storms back up to the bungalow and heads straight for her room. She slows down when she notices her door is ajar. Quietly padding up to the door, Babs reaches out to push the door open when a man’s deep voice stops her.

“It’s just me Babs. Come in and close the door.”

Babs Olsen walks into the room and closes the door behind her. The man she knows as Silverback is sitting in one of the lounge chairs that make up the small seating area portion of Babs’ room. Silverback is a large man, middle aged, and he keeps his jet-black, yet graying, hair pulled back. He is resting a hand on a black case sitting atop the end table.

“That jerk pulled me off the shoot for the big metal bitch! Can you believe that? She isn’t nearly as hot as me! I mean really! On a scale of one to ten, she’s onl-“

“Babs. Shut it. That’s not why we are here and you know it. This wasn’t all worked out by You-know-who just so that you could play calendar girl.” Silverback motions for Babs to sit down opposite himself.

Babs plops down on the sofa with a sigh. “I could totally kick that bitch’s metal ass.” She drops her chin into the palm of her hand and glares.

“You will get your chance.” Silverback opens the case and lifts the lid. The interior is lined with foam. One side has two cutouts in the liner containing a pair of 18-inch long cylinders. Each cylinder has a glass vial of green liquid inserted into one end while the opposite ends are capped with needles nearly half the width of a normal woman’s pinky finger.

“That’s them? How are we supposed to inject her with one when she’s all, you know, metal?” Babs Olsen cocks her head to the side with a look of disbelief.

Silverback removes a cylinder from the case and holds it before Babs, who leans forward intently. “I am surprised you even thought to ask. I asked the very same question when they were given to me. The good Doctor told me, ‘You see, the reason they are so large is because of what they do. Obviously a normal needle wouldn’t penetrate the Steel Bitch’s hide because it’s too thick, much like Babsy’s skull.’”

“He said what?!”

“Let me finish. He also said, ’To defeat this little problem, I acquired these little gems. When you press the activation switch, that’s the one labeled ‘on’ for Babs, these injectors will allow the needle to penetrate nearly any material. The needle works on the principle of nano molecular displacement using high frequency vibrations in a manner that allow these over-sized syringes to act like atom-splitter blades. That term is apparently trademarked by some techno junkie in one of these illustrious hi-tech corporations residing in Angel Falls. Just turn it on and stab the bitch. Once the compound takes effect, it’ll shut off her abilities and she’ll take a nice long nappy-poo. You two will have about four hours to get her ass over here before it wears off. Don’t fuck it up.’”

“He also said to let his favorite dairy cow know that if she screws this one up, she’ll be spending time in the tank.” Silverback adds with a grin before pushing one of the oversized injectors into Babs’ hand.

“Are you serious?! He did not either!” Babs shrieks as she jumps out of her seat in a fit.

“He also said to tell you ’Yes I did say that, Babsy, my dear.’” Silverback removes the second injector and stands. “Now let’s go get this chick before You-know-who lobotomizes us and we end up dumber than the Iggies.” Silverback pulls a mask over his head as his body swells. His muscles grow to abnormal proportions as his body also grows in stature. Normally standing at seven feet tall and 300 pounds, Silverback is a large man. Now nine feet tall and three times as heavy, he is a monster.

Babs on the other hand appears to be in pain, her skin turning blue. Her body begins changing from the curvy blonde woman that she was into a blue-skinned amazon. Thick fiberous strands begin weaving into horns on the sides of Babs’ head, while the muscles all along her once athletic body grow to abnormal proportions. Standing nearly as tall as Silverback, Babs becomes the massive horned woman nicknamed the Blue Ox.

Babs’ bikini does not survive her transformation into the massive new form. “Where is my outfit bag, Sil?” She looks around the room unable to locate what she is looking for.

“You forgot it like I said you would. Just put on the bikini with the cowprint. That’s about as close to your silly wrestling outfit as you are going to get. Let’s go.” Silverback heads out the door, making his way to the beach photoshoot.

“Dammit. Alright, I’m coming.” Babs quickly pulls on the new bikini and tucks the injector into one of the straps, then follows Silverback.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai Steel and Sapphira stood back to back, hands entwined. Sapphira’s plump lips form a seductive pout as she leans into the larger metal woman. Kai leans her head back over her shoulder, biting her lower lip. Turning slowly, Sapphira tugs Kai around to face her. Reaching up to the much taller woman, Sapphira puts her hand behind Kai’s head, forearm resting on her neck in a lover’s caress. She gently pulls the steel woman down towards her, their noses touch, their lips a breath apart.

“Okay, perfect ladies! That’s the end of that roll. Take five and we’ll set up for the next series. Oh, and Miss Reese? Penny has the food you requested at the refreshment table,” Clive says as he turns to start directing the rest of the team for the next setup.

Sapphira lets Kai go and taps her metal lips with a forefinger. “Damn girlie! Were you tryin to make out with me or what?” The exotic beauty smirks devilishly.

“Wha-I-you… I wasn-“ Kai stammers.

“I’m just fuckin’ with ya! Let’s see about some damn grub!” With that, Sapphira lopes off towards the refreshment table with the look of a lioness on the prowl. Penny looks up from setting out the spread she hauled back from the Burger Barn and quickly backs away from the table with a yelp. Kai stands right were Sapphira left her, watching the other woman raid the best Burger Barn has to offer. She doesn’t even notice the crew all heading back to the bungalow for more equipment and film.

Kai also failed to notice the two large forms of the Blue Ox and Silverback charging headlong in her direction. With the sound a hammer striking an anvil, both of the giant meta humans drove shoulders into Kai’s back and side, her body tossed a few yards back.

Hearing the loud impact, Sapphira Reese turns around to look back in the direction of Kai Steel, half a Big Moo Burger hanging out of her mouth. Seeing the two meta humans standing over Kai’s prone form, she spits it out. “What the Hell?” The woman with the blue skin pulls out some kind of oversized syringe and kneels down over Kai Steel, who is only just starting to get past being dazed. Sapphira Reese runs across the sand at full speed and delivers a kick to the blue bitch’s gut that would make any NFL coach proud.

The large man in black and silver turns towards Sapphira after taking a step back. “You needn’t involve yourself in our affairs,” Silverback states, as he cracks his knuckles and neck. He thumbs his nose and takes an offensive stance.

“Well you best consider me fuckin’ involved.” Sapphira turns her body to avoid the punch Silverback throws. His large fist whistles by and Sapphira smiles. “I hope that ain’t you’re A-game, otherwise this’ll be quick.” The man growls and comes at her again. She begins moving him away from Kai as the steel woman stands up, a look of rage contorting her face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai Steel had no idea what was going on, but as she watched Sapphira fight a large man in black, she knew she was going to get some answers. She turned to look at the horned, blue-skinned girl getting up from the sand where Sapphira left her. Kai was tired of this crap. Everyone felt the need to push her around. She’d had enough.

Standing up, Kai Steel stood every last centimeter of her eight-foot, four-inch frame. She watched as the blue woman picked up a large injector from the sand and turned towards Kai.

Screaming in anger, the Blue Ox charged straight for Kai’s midsection, horns held low. She came at the metal woman like a truck. Kai caught both horns and was pushed backwards by the charge. She was strong, but that couldn’t save her from physics. Kai dropped to her back and kicked the horned woman overhead.

Kai rolled up to stand over the Blue Ox. “You picked the wrong day and…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“…the wrong woman. You really should get out more,” Sapphira says to Silverback, as she ducks under another punch before driving a fist under his solar plexus. Silverback violently expels the air from his lungs. Sapphira then comes up under his arm and wraps it behind her, following up with a strike from her elbow into his armpit. She feels his shoulder dislocate with a wet pop and he roars in pain. Sapphira then rolls around in front of the large man and using the momentum of her spin to pivot off her hips, Sapphira jabs Silverback in the eye socket with a rock-hard fist. He rocks back, stumbles, and falls face-first into the sand moaning in pain. “I’m sorry, I didn’t make that out.” Sapphira tears the mask from Silverback’s head and he spits blood onto the sand. “Huh. Ain’t you a lil old to be messin with younger girls?”

Silverback reaches out with his good arm and yanks Sapphira’s legs out from underneath her. She hits the sand hard and rolls away quickly and stands up. Silverback whips around with a roundhouse kick, catching the recovering Sapphira in the side of the neck and sending her sprawling.

Sapphira lifts her head up to look at the large man. “So you have a little fight left in ya, huh?” Before she gets up, Silverback drops an axe kick, aimed for her head. She feels the heavy blow whip by as she dodges out of the way. Sapphira returns the favor by reaching out and jerking his leg upwards and out. Off balance, the giant of a man is thrown on his back. Not one to sit idle, Sapphira gets up and throws herself towards Silverback, dropping on his chest hard with both knees. The dense musculature isn’t enough to prevent a few ribs from breaking and he rolls over, doubled in pain before Sapphira kicks him hard in the side rollinghim onto his stomach.

Looking at the fallen giant, Sapphira notices the injector in the back of his belt and takes it before she straddles the large man from behind. Pulling his good arm around his back, she uses it and pain to pull Silverback up towards her. “Let’s see what this does, shall we?” Without pressing the activation button, Sapphira reaches around and stabs the large needle into his chest. The autoplunger injects the green liquid into his bloodstream. Once it’s empty, She tosses it into the sand. The effects are almost immediate. Silverback begins to diminish in size and become less muscular. “Oh shit! It’s some kinda anti-meta serum!” She looks over to see Kai Steel locked in combat with the big blue bitch, who has the second injector in hand…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Ox had Kai’s right arm pinned behind her back while locking her in a choke hold. The blue woman reversed her grip on the injector and slid her arm away from Kai’s neck, bringing it into a position to ram it into the steel woman’s chest. Grabbing the injector as it plunged downward, Kai was able to prevent it from penetrating her skin… Barely. This woman was incredibly strong. Kai couldn’t push her arm back, merely hold it immobile. She could hear the blue giantess grit her teeth and felt the plunger getting closer by a hair’s breadth. The arm Blue Ox held pinned was caught between Kai’s back and the Blue Ox’s chest. Looping a finger under part of the other woman’s bikini top, Kai flicked her wrist and felt it slip beneath a blue breast. While Blue Ox didn’t let go, it was enough to distract her. The horned woman loosened her hold in surprise just enough for Kai to throw her over a shoulder and into the sand.

Blue Ox immediately recovered and stood up only to find Kai Steel standing before her, injector in hand. “I believe you lost something.”

“You bitch! What the Hell makes you so special that he would want YOU?!” she screams and swings a mighty blue fist at Kai’s face. Kai rolls with the punch and counters with a backhanded swing into the Blue Ox’s temple. She feels the blue woman’s cheekbone crack.

“He?! Did HE send you?! Are you doing Jaren’s dirty work?” Kai throws the injector across the beach as Blue Ox uppercuts her in the stomach. Kai feels the breath being forced out of her lungs, but uses the natural reaction of her folding body to smash her head against that of the blue woman. The blue flesh of her nose gushes a stream of blood and she cries out in pain.

“I don’t work for that creep, you stupid bitch!” The giant blue woman barely manages to get out before Kai drops a double over-hand blow to her clavicle. Blue Ox drops in agony. Kai sees red and doesn’t hear the blue woman’s cries. She can only see the face of the man who haunts her nightmares: Jaren Lawrence. Kai straddles the larger woman as she falls on her back, and throws punch after punch into the Blue Ox. She feels bones threatening to give way and blood splatter. The Blue Ox tries to defend herself, her previously demonstrated strength seemingly a fading memory. Kai screams and lifts her fists above her head.

A pair of strong hands stay her blow. Kai Steel turns on her new aggressor only to find Sapphira Reese standing over her. Kai looks down to see the Blue Ox warding off the blow that is no longer coming.

Looking at her hands, Kai is horrified by what she has done. Without even thinking to, she releases her ability and as a mist rises from her skin, Kai’s body shrinks down and returns to normal.

Feeling the difference in weight, The blue giantess pushes, the now much weaker, Kai off of her and moves to get up, and up she goes. Sapphira Reese lifts Blue Ox by her neck and thigh before side-slinging her to land face down a few yards distant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen’s face twists in rage. That bitch was going to die! She rolls off of her back and to her stomach in an effort to launch herself full bore at the tan beauty. Feeling a new and intense pain, Babs looks down at her chest and sees the second injector, the green serum quickly being pumped into her body. She falls face down into the sand, no longer the powerful Blue Ox, and no longer conscious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wounds she suffered at Jaren’s hands are still too new, and now she has lost control. Just like she did all those years ago when that bastard tried to force himself on her… It was all too much for her to deal with, but then that is what he wanted. He was getting his wish and she was giving it to him. Kai knew this was something she had to deal with, and soon, but it didn’t make things any easier. She laid in the sand where Blue Ox had shoved her, staring at the blue sky. The beautiful face of Sapphira Reese, framed by that dark hair, partially blocks her view.

“Comon. I think we’ve had enough of the beach for today.” She pulls Kai up to her feet, who in turn collapses into Sapphira’s arms and starts sobbing quietly.

“Just let it all out, girl. Just let it all out,” Sapphira wraps an arm around the naked wreck that had been Kai Steel. She runs a hand through the other woman’s hair and walks her back up to the bungalow, grabbing a silk sheet from Jean’s canopy. Sapphira wraps it protectively around Kai’s shoulders, as it would seem they had attracted quite an audience.

“I’m sorry, Phira. I messed up…”

“Hell you did. That bitch deserved what she got far as I’m concerned. She’s lucky she got a taste of her own medicine or I’d ‘a fucked her up so bad her momma would be feelin’ it.” Sapphira flexes and winks. Kai smiles.

“What should we do about them?” Kai asks, indicating the two prone forms in the sand.

“We’ll call SCU. I doubt those two are goin anywhere by the looks of ‘em.”

“Thanks Phira. I… I’m glad you were here today.”

With a far-off look in her eyes, Sapphira smiles. After needing shoulders to cry on herself lately, it felt good to be there for someone else this time. “Well, the day ain’t over yet and someone interrupted my lunch. Let’s get you dressed again and I’ll take you to get some good eatin, my treat. Unless you prefer to walk around naked, cause I’m sure no one would mind, miss curves.” Kai pulls the sheet tighter and Sapphira laughed so loudly the residents on the mainland probably heard her.

Kai manages to smile at Sapphira’s mirth, but the woman’s laughter is infectious and before Kai realizes it, she’s laughing as well. Well, things could be worse, she supposed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Babs Olsen and Silverback both look like they have been to Hell and back, as they stand in the elevator of an abandoned hospital. An Iggy supports each meta human. If the Doctor hadn’t sent Salamander to retrieve them, they’d both be in Tartarus by now.

Both of them wished the SCU had gotten them first.

The annoying elevator music doesn’t bother them today. The Iggies don’t seem so stupid either. They have come to see the Doctor. Unfortunately, this doctor can have a fatal bedside manner when his patients fail him.

Babs Olsen and the man known as Silverback failed.

“The Doctor will see you both now.”
