As Sue roused herself from her nap she could still feel the delicious feeling of the drugs taken in her dreams, but reality was quickly closing in on the heroine and even now she realized that it wouldn't be long until she was again feeling the bite of withdrawal. As she rose from the bed she noticed her 'knight in shining armor' lost in his own visit to the land of nod. The blond beauty smile wryly as she gently kissed the man's forehead and thought 'You deserve a lot more than that, Tony, but for now enjoy your dreams.  I hope they are as fun as mine were.'

Captain America looked surprised to see the heroine up as she exited the bedroom.  She couldn't help but chuckle slightly as he moved to the side to hold the meeting room door open for her.  The thought 'Poor guy can't help being a boy scout.  Too bad, we could have so much fun!' The hero returned a small smile as he said "Good to see you smiling Susan. We've had some... developments.  Your team can fill you in.  In the mean time, where's Tony?"

Sue nodded toward the room she just left and purred "Poor dear passed out in the love seat watching over me."  As the hero nodded politely and walked to the indicated room, Sue took a moment to admired the hard chiseled body of the Living Legend as his strong tight muscles moved in perfect erotic unison under his skin tight uniform.  Even the extra durable body armor couldn't hide his flexing glutes from the horny wench's hungry stare as she thought to herself 'Maybe, just maybe, I'll have to help you out with that problem sweetheart.'

In the conference room Reed was conferring with Roberta and Ben as Johnny fumed "God DAMN it! I had the bastard in my sights.  He should be a charcoal briquette right now!"

Roberta was quick to interject "You would be a murderer then Johnny." As the young hero turned to respond, she continued "I know that you would consider that a small price to avenge your sister and friends but you must know that I could never allow you to make that sacrifice.  Your safety and the safety of the family is my reason for existing."  The halogram looked profoundly sad as she said "I must take responsibility for this.  I should have been able to neutralize the intruder long ago.  It is my failing that allowed him to have a back door escape.  It is my failing now that I can not track his precise whereabouts.  I offer my most profound apologies."

Johnny immediately replied "No, Roberta, it isn't your fault anymore than it's Sue's or Gina's! That prick took advantage of everyone he could get his hooks into and when I get a hold of his greasy hide I'll roast him alive!"

Sue was mortified as she grabbed her brother and pulled him into a tight hug "Johnny, please don't say things like that!  We are OK.  He couldn't destroy us. He may deserve the worst we have to give, but we deserve better than to be lowered to his level.  Please promise me you won't kill anyone for revenge."  The young hero couldn't find the words to answer his sister as he returned her hug in silence.  Sue looked up at Ben and said "I assume you found Killgrave?"

Ben nodded as he replied "Yeah, we had the worthless loser dead to rights but he was better prepared than we expected.  He had a safe word that activated the teleporter and poof, the nasty cuss was gone in a flash. Ya know, I wouldn't let Johnny kill him, but I have ta admit I was lookin forward to playin hacky sack with his skull myself.  Sorry I let ya down Suzy."

Sue put a sympathetic hand on Ben's shoulder as she replied "That's enough from all of you.  No one in this room is God.  No one is perfect and all knowing. Blame isn't going to erase the last few months or improve our situation one bit.  Let's concentrate on how we move forward."

Reed smiled at his wife as he replied "Well said. Apparently Killgrave not only installed the safe word, he had a scrambler added to the transporter signal.  Roberta reported that she can't precisely pinpoint his escape vector, but perhaps she can get us close enough to continue the search on our terms?"

Robert answered "I have tracked his position to within a 100 kilometers of Tblunka, the capital of Slorenia. The probability of him being within the zone of interest there is 93.452%. Unfortunately after Ultron's devastating attack on that country it has been a battle zone ruled by competing warlords that even S.H.I.E.L.D. avoids."

Johnny roared "Come on, Roberta, lets call it what it is.  That hell hole is right next to Latveria and that means Doom's involved. I say we go in guns blazing and kill two birds with one stone!"

Reed was quick to correct "No, Johnny, I'm sure that is not the case.  Victor would love to humiliate us and Killgrave's powers would be interesting to him, but his sort of crude sexually immature manipulation would be well below Doom's tolerance of the fool.  Killgrave might well be hoping that Doom would welcome him for his efforts against us, but rest assured that Victor would deal with the miscreant even harder than you or Ben could imagine."

Ben added "Yeah, and come to think of it, S.H.I.E.L.D. might be a good call right now.  I know Nick and Maria pretty good and they know how ta deal with things delicately.  Why don't I just call in a few favors an see what we can get goin?"

Johnny threw up his arms as he growled "Do what you want Ben, but I'm not waiting for an act of congress to look for this clown. By the time you get S.H.I.E.L.D. off their shadowy butts, Killgrave will be halfway around the world!"

As the Human Torch stormed out of the room, Cap returned and said "I picked up the last bit of that conversation.  Ben, that's not a bad idea working directly with Nick and Maria, but I would recommend not letting this get any further.  We don't want some government watchdogs moving in here to 'control' the situation.  Tony and I have decided that at least for the next couple weeks we will stick with the team to help until things settle.  We will be taking 24 hour shifts here at the Baxter Building until you get back on your feet or until more help is needed. I've got the first shift so Tony is on his way home to let Pepper know what is going on."

The heroes talked for the better part of an hour before Ben went to meet with Maria Hill and Reed retired to his lab.  As Sue went to leave, Steve asked "Susan, could I have a word with you?"  Sue stopped and turned to face the handsome hero as he continued "I realize that right now is a difficult time for you on many levels and perhaps Tony is a more comfortable person for you to relate to right now, but I wanted you to know that I am here to help you as you deem needed.  No judgement and no disrespect; I'm just a friend here to support another friend."

Sue smiled as she thought about his words and replied "You know, Steve, I believe you believe that.  I want to believe it to.  I just keep thinking of our last conversation and I just want to see something."  The lovely heroine tapped an invisible object on her wrist and suddenly the visage of the woman changed,  Her honey blond hair changed to platinum blond bleached hair with deep black roots.  Her blue eyes shifted to a striking jade green.  Her blue uniform morphed into a sheer see through red halter top and skin tight black micro mini dress. Her makeup was darkly erotic as were the floral tattoo sleeves on both arms. Her tramp stamp could be seen over her skirt as well as the sexy rose tattoos showing through her fishnet stockings.  All in all, even the living legend had to stare in awe of the erotic vision before him as she cooed "This is how I look on the street, stud.  The name's Starr and believe me, I earned that name honey." The sultry vixen stalked her prey like a wild tigress as she continued "Mmmmm, aren't you the strong viral one too, baby! Tell me, sweetie, are you looking for a date?"  Her hands roamed her lush body slowly to draw the man's attention to her wares as she continued "See, I'm all pent up and lonely, baby, and I would just *love* some of your attention!" She held his rat gaze as she stroked his firm chest "Tell you what, I can give you a special. Wouldn't it be nice?  How about a suck and fuck for half price?" She turned and shook her booty for the man as she smiled evilly over her shoulder and purred "Or maybe you're an ass man.  What do you say honey? Do you want to plow my Hershey highway? Mmmm, I bet you would love that, wouldn't you?"  Then she turned back to face her perspective client as she moved in closer and kneaded her bountiful boobs "Or maybe you're a breast man. Wanna tit fuck me? Believe me, its a heavenly experience. I've got enough up top to cover the biggest shlongs and I'll make it tighter than a virgin's twat for you.  Mmmmm, I can feel your hot cum all over my face and tits already.  Maybe you just can't decide, is that it?  Tell you what, stud, $200 gets you an hour with me and you can do any damn thing you want with me and it will only cost you $150 for every hour after.  What do you say, baby"

Sue enjoyed her affect on this fine specimen and truth be told she wasn't 100% sure she wouldn't follow through if he took her up on the offers but what he said next surprised her as he hoarsely replied "Ummm, if you're safely back at the Baxter Building, why are you still wearing the Perception Filter?"

Taken off guard, the heroine felt the erotic enjoyment of the moment fade.  It was a good question and one that she even now felt embarrassed to admit, but part of her felt it only sporting to give the man an honest answer.  With another tap on the invisible device on her wrist her visage shifted again.  This change was not nearly so different.  The uniform was that of the Invisible Woman and so were her eyes.  She didn't have a speck of makeup on, which normally would have mortified her, but right now no makeup went well with naked honesty.  Her hair was clearly Starr's as were the tattoos on her arms, legs and torso.  She looked at Cap and said "This is what I look like now without the filter.  My pimp liked Starr's look and convinced me to make it real. The hair I can fix and the eyes were green continuous wear contacts."  She held up her arms and continued "The tattoos are another story though."  Steve looked the arms over and noted that while they were as beautiful as those in the Perception Filter, they were only half done.  The sexy siren looked over the half done inks and purred "The arm and leg tattoos were my idea from the filter but the kiss and demon tattoos were Slick's idea and now are just humiliating.  Still I have to admit I really like the ones I designed and wouldn't mind finishing them off."

For the second time in a short period, the Hero of World War II surprised her by saying "Yes, well, I think you look great right now, but you're right. You would look much better with the sleeves done."
