"Oh no, don't worry about it." Jenny responded to her sister with a smile, as she made sure to keep her costume hidden. "Harry and I have our own en suite bathroom so you can consider this one all yours." She wondered for a moment if the selfies were for Chastity's husband or other people before she dismissed the thought. So long as Lucas and Chastity were fine with it, it wasn't any of her business. An attitude that was a far cry from the one she wold have had a week ago. Jenny tucked the idol under her pillow and stripped out of her new costume. She was still mildly warm from the thugs attack and her sweat had dried, sticking to her skin so she had a quick shower before she returned to her bedroom. Jenny stood naked trying to decide what to put on for the evening and thought all of her usual choices would be too hot, so she settled on a revealing lingerie set that was in the back of her closet. She'd always considered it too 'slutty' but now her opinion had changed to simply 'cute'. When she found her husband in his office she wanted to crawl into his lap and just fall asleep with him holding her; but she still concerned about his injury so she settled on giving him a hug and letting him bury his face in her breasts. "Hi babe." she said exhausted "I had a long day, and I really don't want to talk about it. How was yours?"
"I-I know nothing!" The man shouts, raising his hands defensively, as the two of them land in a deserted parking lot.
Spoiler: Combat Rolls D100: Heart: 52 Mantis: 77 Boys: 41 Heart Bound! Movement Restricted As the alien goes for Mantis, the woman's lip curls upward and Heart realises she just ran into a trap. The redeemed villainess uses her lasso with incredible speed, and suddenly Heart feels her arms pinned to her torso.
As they land, Vanessa puts down the worker. "Let's try that again." She said with a smile, "What were you doing in that factory?" She asked in a more threatening tone, as her smile turns into a glare.
"Don't remind me." The woman shudders. "I still think Chen's a moron - but it so happens that I need money really badly, so I'm supporting this hare-brained scheme until I get paid." Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: Azura: 20+10 ???: 73 Blunt Force Damage: 43 Azura's Health: 57 As Azura attacks, the woman encases herself in another force field, the impact enough to spin her around, but doing little damage. The villainess looks over her shoulder at Azura. "Not bad..." She fixes her dress, which had flown up above her thighs. "Now, it's my turn." She turns, and suddenly Azura's flying backwards, propelled by a great tidal wave of invisible force, tables and mahjong pieces going flying, and parts of the building's woodwork splintering.
Spoiler: Combat Rolls D100: Sonata: 69+10 Brute: 65+10 Slashing Damage: 4-10 (Ineffective Weapon) Brute HP: 32 Sonata manages to get in a few good slashes to the man's stomach, but they do practically nothing. Meanwhile, his claws whizz past the hero's face, frighteningly close with each strike.
"Oh, pretty normal - no progress on this whole multiverse thing Infinity has us on." He sighs, hugging her tightly and eagerly nestling his face against her chest. "If 'long days' make you wear that around the house, I kinda hope you have them more often." He chuckles, gesturing to her lingerie, before his face softens sympathetically. "Well, I know the best cure for what ails you - wine, candles, and a massage. Meet me in the bedroom in a few minutes." Reluctantly, he tears himself away from her, and as she enters their room, she finds it illuminated by candlelight, with a glass of red wine on the bedside table. "Ta da." He chuckles. "Now lie down so I can take care of you."
Jenny felt tears welling in her eyes when she looked towards her husband after she saw what he had done to their bedroom. "I love you." she said, her voice broke slightly and a smile that showed she was touched by what he'd done. She did as he asked and lied down on the bed, relaxing into the mattress.
Spoiler: Intimidation Roll D100: 94 (Crit) "Alright, alright! Just don't hit me!" The man raises his hands defensively, even though she hasn't moved. "I don't know exactly - I was one of the workers, not one of the scientists, but from what I understood, the idea of the machine was that it could take the power from a super, and give that power to another person. At least in theory."
"What?" Vanessa gasped, Now it really is a good thing I didn't stick around for that explosion. She thinks to herself, but since her powers came from a collar, would it have even worked on her? "Next question, is there any more hidden factories like this? And do you happen to know about the location of one of these scientists?" She asked, although she doubt he'll know much, it was still worth a shot.
"Hey, it's nothing much." He shrugs, kissing her slightly. "I love you too." He straddles her as she lies on the bed, his hands massaging and working out the tenseness that built up during her battle with the redhead's thugs - something the powder she has stashed away could probably do just as well, but this is pleasant in its own way, especially as she feels her husband's hard on pressing against her lingerie clad ass, though he makes zero attempt to try and transition the massage to sex. "I, uh, know this is not really the time and place..." There's a very potent twinge of nervousness in her husband's voice, as he speaks up after a few minutes of quiet massaging. "B-But after we watched that video together... There's something I have to tell you...about my past. I just... I'm worried you'll think less of me."
"F-Factories?" He gulps. "I think so, but I swear I don't know where! A-As for the scientists, n-no, I don't know much about them. I-I do know that the machines were made by one scientist in particular, a really creepy looking bald guy with a beard and these dumb circle glasses." He gulps, as Vanessa recognises the description of one of the city's notorious villains.
Jenny let out soft moans of pleasure as her husband worked her muscles. But when he started speaking her attention perked up. "Harry, you can tell me anything. Nothing will ever make me love you less." She said with affection.
He's real tough. Sonata changes tactics since the ancestral blades don't seem to be working very well. He tosses the knife in his left hand into his right, allowing Sonata to place a palm against the giant's abdomen. The young, prospective hero attempts to send waves of sound coursing through his opponent's body, bursting organs and blood vessels if he can find the right frequency and amplitude.
"A bald guy... and glasses? Was it Straz? Strass?" The heroine mumbled, trying to recall his name, and his location. "Right, thanks for answering, you can go now." Vanessa then flies away, leaving the worker as she figured she's done her job. I don't think storming that doctor's hideout is a good idea, I'll retreat for now, and try to think of a plan. She flies back to the mansion, changing back into her civilian outfit to see how Jacob is doing.
Her husband continues to massage her, as he works up the courage to speak. "You...You're the love of my life... But you're not my first love. I-In high school, I had a girlfriend. She was a lot like you - an indescribably beautiful blonde, popular, captain of the cheerleading team, but for some reason I never understood...she loved me. Like...we were really in love. I never thought I'd feel anything more intense, until I met you." There's a long pause, with the only sound in the room being her soft moans. "Back then, I was getting bullied pretty badly - it started with just teasing, but pretty soon the football team were beating the crap out of me. T-They...told my girlfriend that they'd stop - if she had sex with them. I-I walked in on them one day..." His hands move harder. "She was naked...the jocks were taking turns moving behind her, fucking her harder than I ever had - harder than I thought she'd like, but...she loved it. She was screaming, cumming, begging them for more. She and I didn't last long after that." There's another protracted period of silence, before Jenny's back cracks, and the sound seems to spur Harold into speech once more. "The other night, that fantasy... I loved it - but I'm terrified of losing you. I'd loved my girlfriend, but I got over her when I met you. If I didn't have you, though...There'd be no getting over it - You're everything to me."
Spoiler: COmbat Roll D100: Sonata: 60+10 Brute: 48+10 Sonic Damage: 12 Brute's HP: 20 The huge man reels back as Sonata hears something...liquidy...sound from inside his body. He gives a scream of pain, long claws tearing chunks of brick out of the wall, eyes crazed in a fury. Looking at the man, Sonata guesses she's sent him into some kind of rage.
The worker scurries away without another word. Thinking about Strasse, Vanessa knows that his location is unknown, but he has contacts with a lot of the city's criminals. Maybe if she looked at a list of known associates, she could get him that way? Heading back to the mansion, Vanessa reaches the solid oak double doors leading to her bedroom, when she hears a familiar feminine moaning, modulated slightly through a television.
Right, might as well let Vince know what I... I mean my "wild dog" found out. Vanessa sighed as she was about to enter her room, until she heard the moans. Her eyes go wide as she hurriedly enters, and shuts the door behind her. She immediately looks at whoever was watching those videos in her room.
After his confession, Jenny turned around so that she was looking up at him with nothing but compassion and love in her eyes. "Oh Harry... you'll never lose me. I promise." She pulled him down to kiss him then, meaning every word. To emphasize her point she used her telepathy to project every ounce of her love for him into his mind so he would know how much she meant it. Her hands pulled him down on top of her and she held him for a long while before she asked. "Do you want to talk about it? Your fantasy?"
