[This story takes place in the future. Brenda Barnesworth is the daughter of the last Superwoman, Josephine, and has now claimed the mantle of Superwoman.]

Joe was a horrible man and an even worse father. He used to beat his wife, Ann. As a result of the abuse his baby daughter Michelle was born mildly mentally challenged. He hated women and loved to beat them, especially those “uppety” women, the ones who worked high powered jobs and were leaders in their feilds.  He would sometimes stalk them and then beat and rape them. He wanted to “put them in their place”. His wife left him and is trying to raise her daughter alone.

Luckily for Ann Delta City has an outreach program for abused women. With their help she was able to get on her feet and her daughter Michelle who is 11 spent time after school at the Youth Center. Ann decided it would be a great idea for Michelle to be enrolled in the “Big Sister” program. Michelle needed a positive female role model and Ann hoped the program could help. Ann was too busy working 4 jobs just to make ends meet and really needed help guiding young Michelle.

Brenda Barnesworth loved children and thought it would be a great idea to inspire them as Superwoman. One afternoon Superwoman went to the Youth Center and began spending time with the children talking to them and just getting to know them. Superwoman made a habit of visiting the Center at least once a week. She loved visiting the children and the children loved seeing a real live superheroine be their friend. The Councilers at the Center thought it was great having Superwoman’s support, it was a win win situation for everyone. As time went on Superwoman became great friends with the mildly retarded Michelle. Superwoman adored Michelle, she was so innocent and friendly. Superwoman also admired her mother Ann, working 4 jobs and raising a child was harder than fighting a Supervillain in her opinon. Superwoman adopted Michelle as her “Big Sister sponsor”. She would spend time with Michelle once a week after school. Superwoman would take her flying or to a movie, or whatever Michelle wanted. She loved her “little sister”. The human interest aspect was so compelling that a news crew went to the Youth Center one day and interviewed Superwoman about her work at the Youth Center.

Meanwhile….

Joe sat on his couch watching the TV. He was a big intimidating looking man. His long black hair and tattooed body made him look like a common thug and he was just that, a common thug. As he watched the news he saw the story about the Youth Center and Superwoman.

[News Report]

[female reporter] “So Superwoman tell the viewers about this cute little girl you’re sponsoring.”

[Superwoman] “Her names Michelle, she’s…tell everyone how old you are honey….”

[Michelle] “I’m eleven and 2 months old” Michelle said as cute as could be.

[reporter] “Superwoman she is adorable, tell us more about your involvment with the Youth Center”

[Superwoman] “Well, these kids are all great, but they come from tough homes. It’s easy for them to fall between the cracks and get lost. Michelles mom for example is a fantastic woman, she works 4 jobs and unforetunately can’t always be there for her child. Her husband abandoned them. I just want to make sure these kids know they can count on things, like the Youth Center, for help if they need it.”

[reporter] “Thank you Superwoman, and I’m sure all the kids at the Center love having you around. Michelle is there anything you want to say to Superwoman?”

Michelle reaches up to hug Superwoman and Superwoman bends down to recieve the impromptu show of affection “I love you Superwoman”.

[reporter] “Don’t we all Michelle, don’t we all. This is Nancy McNeil from the Delta City Youth Center, back to you Brett….”

Joe was furious that Superwoman had the nerve to show him up by helping raise his kid. Even though he didn’t care about Michelle he just wanted an excuse to be angry.

“That uppity Super bitch. She deserves a good beating. Man if I knew how to take her out I’d teach her a lesson she’d never forget!”

Michelle and Superwoman talked alot about lots of things. One day Michelle asked Superwoman what made her so powerful. Letting her guard down, Superwoman told Michelle about her magic artifacts. Michelle promised she would never tell anyone but Superwoman wasn’t worried. She knew Michelle was honest and good hearted.

Superwoman dropped Michelle off at her home around 5pm. They had spent a wonderful day at the City Festival. Michelle’s mom wouldn’t be home for another couple hours and Superwoman offered to wait, but Michelle said she’d be okay. Off in the distance Superwoman spotted a fire on the other side of the city, she needed to get to it fast. She told Michelle to lock the door and mommy would be home soon.

A few minutes later Michelle heard a knock at the door. “You put out that fire already Superwoman?” she said as she rushed to open the door. When she opened it Joe, her father, was standing there.

“Hi baby, long time no see”

“Mommy said you’re bad and I can’t talk to you”

“Oh don’t be silly Michelle I bought you a new dolly, I just wanna talk about your friend Superwoman. I won’t hurt you I promise”.

“Okay” Michelle said as she was very trusting.

“So what do you and Superwoman talk about?”

“All kinds of things, girl stuff, she’s awesome.”

“Do you know what makes Superwoman so strong?”

“Yes, but I can’t tell because I promised Superwoman and she’s my friend.”

“Well, Michelle if you dont’ tell me what you know about Superwoman’s powers I’m going to beat the shit out of your slutty mother and kill her right in front of you, would you like that you little retarted fuck?”

Michelle began crying, she was scared and knew Joe was serious. He made her tell him all about Superwoman’s artifacts.

“Good you little retard. Now next week when Superwoman picks you up I want you to tell her to pick you up here. Since your slut mother’s working all the time it’ll be just you, me and your good friend Superwoman. Don’t tell anyone about this, not even Superwoman, or I’ll come back and kill your mother.”

Michelle was scared, but obeyed her terrifying father.

[The Next Week]

Superwoman comes to the door of Michelle’s house just as she had requested. She planned on flying Michelle to New York that afternoon to see the Statue of Liberty. Superwoman knocked on the door, but it was already open. Superwoman walks in concerned.

“Michelle? honey you here?”

“I’m here Superwoman” Michelle said sobbing.

Superwoman ran over to her friend.

“What’s wrong honey? Is everything okay? Why are you crying?” Superwoman was so concerned with Michelle she never noticed Joe step out of the closet behind her.

She felt her artifacts tugged away from her neck and waist and her powers vanished before she knew what was happening. Superwoman quickly thought of calling her aritifacts to her, but she was smacked in the back of her head with the butt of Joe’s gun. She instantly felt dizzy and couldn’t concentrate. Joe threw Superwoman into the wall, her back leaning against it. Joe sent his right fist into the powerless woman’s face 5 times before she fell unconscious and slumped to the floor. Her lip was bleeding and the sexy superheroine didn’t look so super anymore.

Michelle began to cry, she was horrified at what her father had just done to her friend. Joe laughed at his daughter.

“What do you think of Superwoman now you fucking retard? Daddy just beat the shit out her, and that’s what I’m gonna do to your mother later tonight! You think Superwoman can protect you from me? Look at her! She’s just another woman who thinks she’s a big shot, well now she knows it’s a mans world and no woman can beat a man like me!”

Joe pulled Superwoman’s bloody face off the floor and displayed it for Michelle. Pulling her head up by her beautiful dark brown hair. The red mask was barely staying on and her jaw was hanging open with blood dripping from her lower lip. “Look at her! This is who you look up to? She’s nothing!” Joe screamed at poor Michelle. Superwoman moaned something and Joe quickly picked her up again to give her one more shot. A vicious right hook to her head. She was completely limp and unconscious.

Joe began to notice how Superwoman’s legs sparkled in the light. The shimmery line playing from the top of the boot following the curve of her calve and back knee all the way up to her high cut leotard. The red satin material of the sexy bustier, her bare back, shoulders and arms. He was already aroused at the thought of beating Superwoman, but now he was ready to finish the job. But not here, he needed to put her in his black van. He put the artifacts in his pocket and slung the unconscious woman over his shoulder. He left out of the back door, Superwoman’s arms and legs dangling lifelessly over his shoulder. Michelle watched as her best friend Superwoman was being carried out by the monster. She curled up in a little ball and cried until her mother came home.

Superwoman woke up in the back of the van. It was lined with wall to wall orange shag carpet, even on the walls. It was Joe’s pathetic attempt at being sexy for his victims before he raped them. All around the van were panties and nylons he had torn from his victims. Superwoman was tied spread eagle wrists and ankles with the pantyhose. Her boots were by her head and Joe was by her feet taking off his shirt, his pants were already off and he was in his torn tighty whities.

“Welcome back Superbitch! Time for you to learn how a real man feels inside you baby.”

“What did you do to Michelle you pig!”

“That little retard’s fine, but you’re not bitch. If I was you I’d start offering blow jobs in exchange for mercy.”

“You scared that little girl into telling you about my powers didn’t you?”

“Shut the fuck up cunt, I don’t wanna hear your mouth, I just wanna see my cock in it”

Joe pulled out his filthy member, it was rock hard as he held it in his hand. “Get ready whore”. But Superwoman began to laugh.

“You really are a moron Joe. You’re an insecure little man with a tiny penis. You hate strong women and beat them to make yourself feel better. You dont deserve to be Michelle’s father and you don’t deserve a woman as good as Ann.”

“Shut the fuck up! Don’t laugh at me! You’re supposed to be scared!” Joe was furious at Superwoman for laughing at his penis and being cocky. He made a fist and started to bring it down on Superwoman’s jaw, but in a flash the artifacts burst out of Joe’s pant pocket and onto her body. When the fist finally connected Joe was in shock at how much his hand hurt. Superwoman easily broke free of the pantyhose bonds. She pulled her nylon covered feet together and pushed them against Joe’s chest. Joe was pinned against the back of his tacky van by Superwoman’s sexy legs. She began to apply pressure on Joe’s neck with her feet and soon the big “tough guy” passed out.

Brenda had to use the memory helmet she was left by her mother to erase the memory of her artifacts and her beating from Joe. Once that was done Superwoman sent him to the police and entered the van as evidence. Based on the articles of clothing and DNA evidence Joe was convicted of 16 counts of rape and assault. He was sent to prison for 35 years without parole. Detective Brenda Barnesworth took a high level of interest on this case and personally made sure everything went well.

Superwoman went back to Michelle’s house that night. Michelle and Ann were happy to see Superwoman was okay.

Michelle: “I’m sorry Superwoman, he said if I didn’t do it he would kill mommy. I’m not a good person anymore am I?”

SW: “Michelle it’s okay, and you’re still a good person honey. Joe is a monster who preys on your fears. But you don’t have to worry about him anymore, neither of you do. He’s going to prison for a long time.”

Michelle: “I guess I’m not your friend anymore.”

SW: “Sweetie of course we’re friends, best friends, and next week we’ll do something super cool together I promise, okay?”

Michelle left and went to bed as Superwoman stayed to talk with Ann.

Ann: “When I got home and Michelle told me what happened I didnt’ know what to do, so I did nothing! I was afraid of what Joe would do to me. I’m such a coward. You’re such a hero Superwoman.”

SW: “Ann you’re not a coward. It takes courage to do what you’re doing for Michelle. You’re the true hero.”

With that Superwoman flew out of the window into the calm Delta City sky.
