Henry sat in his secret lair under DCU. The blood samples from the jocks had been analyzed and now his super serum was finally ready.The skinny nerd stabbed himself with the needle and pushed the plunger. He began screaming and collapsed to the floor…..
Two days later the DCU football had open tryouts to help fill the positions left open by the murders. In walked Henry with a cocky grin. He was bigger than he was just a few days ago and despite some snickers from the onlookers it was apparent that he was working out.
“I want to try out for the team coach.” Henry said.
“I haven’t seen you around campus son, you new here?”
“No, some of your players were familiar with me though.” Henry said as he scanned the sideline players and noticed which ones had picked on him at least once.
“Okay son, let’s run some drills and see how fast you are…”
Henry excelled at every drill that was thrown his way. He broke the school speed record and could catch any ball thrown his way. He could also throw the football and place it anywhere he wanted to. Coach even had the team simulate kickoff returns and Henry scored each time. Henry made the team that day and played his first game the following weekend. Henry was the lone stand out in that game and was credited with the win. It was almost like Henry didn’t even need the rest of the team.
Henry quickly became one of the most popular students on campus which caught the attention of the captain of the cheer squad. Penelope Peters was the second hottest girl next to Josephine and Penelope was all over Henry. Not to mention all the other girls who found Henry the hottest guy at the college.
“Now I have it all, brains, brawn and women!” Henry boasted to himself.
Josephine was cutting across campus walking to her next class when she heard the familiar voice of Henry behind her..
“What’s up nerd!” Henry said as he slapped Josephine’s books out of her arm. Henry laughed as Josephine bent over to pick up her books. So did Penelope and the other hot girls hanging around Henry. All of which hated Josephine for being naturally gorgeous, but were too afraid to tell her how they felt…until now.
“Thanks Henry, that was real classy of you.” Josephine said.
“Yeah whatever nerd, I mean, Josienerd. Ha ha! Maybe you didn’t hear, but I’m a big football star now so I bet you wish you took me up on my generous offer to be my girl huh?”
“Henry I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but it’s not good. I wish you could be the good kid I always knew.”
Penelope spoke up quickly..
“Hey Josephine, you had your chance bitch! Now Henry belongs to me! So back off!”
“Henry, you’re being an obnoxious jerk. I’m happy for you and your success, but I hope you realize you’re acting like the very guys who always picked on you your whole life.” Josephine said.
Henry laughed at Josephine… “Hey Josephine, you’re just an overrated piece of ass. I get hotter chicks than you every night!”
Josephine was stunned at the way Henry was talking to her and would never forget the words that had just fallen out of Henry’s mouth. She turned around and walked away hearing Penelope and Henry laugh at her….
[Two days later….]
The Delta City Pride Celebration was an annual corporate sponsored event that promoted pride in Delta City. Superwoman originally declined an invitation to speak, but a company had dangled a large donation to the Childrens Hospital if she appeared. Superwoman agreed to make an appearance for charity.
Superwoman was flying high in the sky when she heard the Mayor announce her at the large outdoor stadium style venue. There was even a super jumbo tron. It was more like a rock concert setup. Superwoman flew above the crowd as they all cheered for their heroic protector in red. She flew very low and stuck her arm out while the lucky crowd got to actually high five Superwoman flying over them! She landed on the stage in front of the microphone stand to thunderous applause and cheers. Her giant image behind her on the massive jumbo tron. It took almost five minutes for the crowd to stop cheering “Superwoman! Superwoman! Superwoman!”
“Hello Delta City! I’m so happy to be here for charity and to see you all! I just want to say that I’m not the only one with Super powers in this city! You all have the power to keep Delta City a great place to live by doing your part and having pride in our city!”
The crowd was going wild for their resident Super heroine in red. Suddenly the jumbo tron behind Superwoman turned to static and a voice started to boom over the loudspeakers…..
“Very nice Superwoman! You have this whole city thinking you’re something great don’t you?”
The crowd gasped in horror as the jumbo image of Superwoman turned into a live camera feed of Black Mask! Superwoman turned around to view the horrifying image….
“Look how she stands on that stage, soaking up your praise like a sponge! You’d almost think she was worth it!”
Superwoman took the mic from the stand and spoke up…
“Black Mask! You’re going down for your crime!” Superwoman said as her voice boomed through the stadium. The crowd cheered for Superwoman’s bold statement.
“My crime? What crime? Do you have proof of this “Crime”? Maybe kicking your ass twice is the crime you’re referring to?” The crowd booed Black Mask.
“I know it was you that killed those football players Black Mask, your signature is all over that crime!”
“Ladies and gentlemen of Delta City it’s Superwoman the detective! Not only is she a gorgeous snob, but she’s also an amazing super sleuth! Apparently no evidence is enough to convict me of a crime! Let me show you exactly what your “Superwoman” really is Delta City!…..”
The jumbo tron went dark then a video of Superwoman falling to the gas bullets started playing. Superwoman helpless and nearly unconscious with Black Mask’s foot on her shoulder holding her down. The second gas bullet exploding on her chest as she passed out. The next video was Superwoman succumbing to the leaking gas tank as she was video taped being tied to the tree.
The capacity crowd stood silent as they watched their unbeatable heroine fall twice to the same villain…
“That’s your great heroine Delta City! Easily defeated and easily erased! I can KILL Superwoman any time I want! I am Black Mask and none of you are safe!”
“Enough Black Mask! I’m not falling for another one of your gas traps!” Suddenly Superwoman’s microphone popped open and a mini explosion produced a flood of white gas directly into her face!
Before she knew what happened Superwoman had breathed in a healthy dose of Black Mask’s KO gas….
“You were saying SUPERwoman?….” Black Mask laughed.
Superwoman dropped the microphone then stumbled across the stage finally falling to her knees and onto her hands coughing. The crowd began to panic. Superwoman looked up at the giant image of Black Mask staring down at her from the jumbo tron. She didn’t want to pass out in front of the whole city on a massive stage. She tried desperately to stand up, but fell back down in a pile on her toned sexy belly….
Black Mask looked down at Superwoman who was barely conscious and said… “Hey Superwoman, you’re just an overrated piece of ass. I get hotter chicks than you every night!”
Superwoman’s vision was going dark as the last thing she heard was Black Mask’s insult….”henry?” Superwoman thought to herself as her body went limp on the stage! Superwoman was defeated again by Black Mask!
“You see Delta City? You see how I can defeat your champion whenever I want? This city is not safe! Superwoman is just another stuck up bitch who thinks she’s better than everyone else! But now it’s time to make sure Superwoman never shows her face again! From this moment on if Superwoman stops another crime or shows her pantyhose in Delta City ever again I will detonate the multiple murderous gas bombs I’ve placed throughout the city! You’ll never find them so don’t bother looking and If I see a mass exodus of Delta City I WILL blow up every road leading out of the city! Live in fear Delta City! Superwoman is finished!!!! Black mask out!”
The crowd began screaming as the police struggled to maintain control. The Mayor looked down at the unconscious Superwoman and shook his head in disbelief. “Pick her up and get her away from these news cameras. God help us.”
The last footage that night of Superwoman on the evening news was her being dragged off stage by two police officers.
