Amazing Woman: The Serpent's Lair

"Escape is futile Amazing Woman," explained Electro-Man.

Electro-Man was about six-foot tall. He was in his early thirties. His custom was made from green spandex and had yellow lighting bolts running through it. He had pale skin and silver hair.

"You'll never get away with this," cried Martha.

"We'll see," said Electro-Man as he pressed a device he was holding into Martha's stomach.

"ARRRAGGGHHH," The Amazing Woman cried as her body shock as she felt an electric shock.

"Hmmm," said Elecrto-Man, "It think I will call this latest toy of mine the Charger... You already gotten a charge out of it."

"You bastard," moaned the Amazing Woman.

Electro-Man grinned and pressed the Charger against Martha's right breast and then the left.

"NOOOO!!!!" screamed Martha, as her body jolted. Her 38DD sized breasts were in terrible pain.

"How does such a beautiful get such a foul tongue," he asked.

"Go back to hell," cried Martha.

"You first," said Electro-Man pointing to the desk, "I believe you already seen my second toy."

The Amazing Woman opened her eyes. She saw the bomb placed on the table.

"I'll be leaving you now," Electro-Man explained, "I hope your will rest in peace.. or should I say pieces."

Martha watched Electro-Man exit the room. Her hand opened revealing the metal wire she had clutched in her hand. She carefully slid the wire into the keyhole of the handcuffs. She jiggled it about and heard the sounds of the cuffs unlocking.

Martha removed cuffs and soon freed her legs, which sent her falling to the ground. She quickly got and ran to the bomb.

"Now which wire is it again," Martha said to herself running her carefully through the wires of the bomb, "Green wire, yellow wire, red wire... any wire.."

Finally guessing, Martha picked a wire and yanked it out. Luckily it was the right wire, the bomb was now disabled.

***********************

Electro-Man opened his car door. He looked back at the building.

"That bomb should have gone off by now," he said to himself.

Then he looked up again and saw the Amazing Woman descending from the sky hanging onto a rope. Her boots crashed into his stomach and Electro-Man was sent flying backwards. The Charger dropped from his hands and fell to the ground.

Martha grabbed the Charger as she saw the villain reaching for a gun. She then shoved the devise into his crotch and activated it.

"ARRRRAAAGGGHHHH!!!!" screamed Electro-Man as he fell to the ground. His hands covered his groin as the Amazing Woman stood over him.

"Electrifying isn't it," remarked the Amazing Woman as she heard police sirens coming.

********************

Two weeks later...

The Amazing Woman dashed inside Mary Langstrom's office. Mary was behind the desk as usual. She smiled at the black heroine dressed in green. Mary was dressed in police uniform.

"What's wrong," asked the Amazing Woman.

Mary looked up and placed a file on her desk and said, "The Serpent has escaped!"

"I remember him," the Amazing Woman folding her arms, "Bank robber, likes to use mind altering drugs. Although he does have his standards... he refuses to use hypnotics or subliminals during his crimes... his fetish is drugging people."

"Yes I know," explained Mary, "It's all there in his file.. His real name: Max Brosnan, White male at age twenty-eight, Height: six foot two inches tall."

"I know," said the Amazing Woman, "Any idea what he might be after this time?"

"Not really," Mary shrugged, "but we right now we are make sure there are extra patrols around the chemical factories, and we have an A.P.B. out for him, and the other stuff."

Martha nodded, as she looked over the folder at his past crimes. After a long pause the both asked each other at the same time...

"How is your son?"

"How is your sidekick?"

"I heard from him last week, he recently moved to West Side City," said Mary, "It took me by surprise he married so quickly after he turned eighteen."

"What was the name of girl he married again," asked Martha.

"It's SuSu," answered Mary, "How's your new sidekick coming along?"

"I'm teaching her the ropes," explained Martha. "Although she has an alternate motive for being my sidekick."

"What's that," asked Mary puzzled.

"She doesn't want me to wreck her stuff," explained the Amazing Woman as she head to the door.

******************************

Martha headed to the Amazing Car. Sitting in the passenger was her twenty-four year-old younger sister Jasmine Knight. She was dressed in a strapless satin purple bustier with a green "E" logo at the center and she had on tight purple spandex shorts, plus purple knee high boots. Unlike the Amazing Woman, Jasmine wore a purple spandex mask to hide her identity. Jasmine Knight was now the heroine in training known as Ebony.

The Amazing Woman sat down inside the driver's seat of the car. She started the engine and the Amazing Car moved onto the streets of Metro City.

"The Serpent is back town," explained the Amazing Woman.

"Did Mary give you a list of his known hideouts," asked Ebony.

"No," said Martha, "The Serpent never returns to hideout after it has been discovered. Mary is having the police search all the chemical factories for him."

"I guess that's we start," said Jasmine.

"No," said Martha, "We'll start at the old Pepper Factory."

"The Pepper Factory," asked Jasmine, "but that isn't a chemical factory."

"Not legally," said Martha while driving, "but years ago drug runners used to store drugs there after the factory became abounded, until I stopped them. Still most of the drugs where hidden by the thugs... and the police believe there still may be some drugs still stored there somewhere hidden. The Serpent might be aware of this, and might want search the place hoping to find the drugs. And the factory is located just beside the riverbanks of Metro City, it would make a perfect hiding place from the police."

******************************************

Meanwhile at a bank, a small bank, the tellers were talking to one another as a guard stood by the door. A single customer, starts to go though and endorse the 30 checks to deposit for his home business when a trashcan started to smoke, yellow vapor started to flow out the tin can.

"What..." gasped Diana, one of the three tellers she pointed at the gas.

"Let's get out of here," Frank the security guard moved towards the door, trying to get it open it. But the doors remained closed, as hidden devices slapped on an hour earlier kept them mechanically locked.

"I can't breathe," screamed another teller named Tina.

The gas filled the room. There was no escaping it.

"Must... get..." gasped Frank as he fell to his knees. He fell face first and lay unconscious on the floor.

Moments later all in the room where asleep. The three female tellers lay lined up in a row on the ground as if they been knocked over like dominoes. The customer lay slumped over on his side.

As the gas died down, the hidden devise suddenly allowed the door to open, and a man approached the bank door, opened it and stepped inside.

The man was dressed in normal street clothes, denim jacket and jeans. He was twenty-eight in age, and stood six foot two inches tall. He had pale skin and sandy brown hair and brown eyes.

He looked down on the fallen people inside. He smiled admiring his work like an artist admiring his masterpiece.

The man's name was Max Brosnan, but to the world he was the Serpent.

The Serpent slowly walked around after double-checking that the magnetic device around his belt was working, if he ever walked in front of a camera it would distort the picture, leaving only a gray blob.

Careful not to leave any fingerprints, he got the money from the cashier's draw, careful not to set off any silent alarms. He then quickly strapped several surgical masks dipped with various chemicals on the tellers face. He smiled and realized when they woke up; they would all be acting strangely and probably destroy any evidence that he had left behind.

Three minutes later, Tina's eyes slowly blinked open. She looked around and tried to focus, she thought the bank looked like a jungle and she was an amazon princess, as the drug started to have its thirty minutes effect.

Tina stripped out of her gray business skirt, and pinstriped blazer, which just left her in her bra and panties. She began trashing things inside the bank as she begun to believe she was trapped inside cage. Tina knocked over computers and papers flew everywhere.

Meanwhile the others in the room started to wake. Frank began to think he was a wild dog and stood on his hands and knees barking. Diana woke up believing she was the Queen of England. The third teller named Linda believed she was strip dancer and begun slowly dancing around the bank while stripping off her clothes.

By the time the police arrived, the bank was a complete mess and the Serpent was long gone.

***************************

The Amazing Car was parked outside the Pepper Factory, while the black heroines known as the Amazing Woman and Ebony investigated inside. Knowing their foes choice of weapons they both had on gas masks.

"I don't think anyone's here," explained Ebony.

"Wait," said Martha pointing to a paper bag lying in the corner, "That's paper bag is from McBells, a new fast food chain that opened in Metro City recently."

The women walked over to the bag. Ebony picked up the bag and looked inside. Suddenly a trapdoor triggered and the heroines fell into the room below.

Amazing Woman and Ebony landed hard on their backs. They quickly got up and found themselves trapped in a glass cage. They both noticed air vents on the floor inside the cage.

Amazing Woman slammed her fist hard into the glass hopping to crack the glass open, but to avail.

"Ahhh," said the Amazing Woman shaking her hand, "That glass must be bulletproof."

"Look," said Jasmine pointing at the air vents which was admitting a green colored gas into the glass cell, "Good thing we're wearing these gas masks."

"Yeah," said the older black heroine dressed in green, "Then why do I fell so tired..."

"Me too," gasped Jasmine, "Gas... must... be... able to... affect us... fixation on our skin... our costumes leave our shoulders, arms and... legs exposed..."

At that moment Martha and her younger sister Jasmine collapsed. Their bodies slumped together, and both were sound asleep.

**************************

Mary Langstrom frowned and shook her head as the various people in the bank were taken away. "The first victims realized who they were when we got here, these it may be several hours until they realize who they actually are." She shook her head and looked to her second in command, Rachel Polaski.

Rachel nodded, "I think he is planning something big... very big, hopefully Amazing Maiden will put things right before things get to bad." 'Or else,' she thought to herself, 'The Serpent might interfer with plans of my own.'

************

Martha meanwhile slowly woke up and looked around she was strapped to a table with heavy ropes. After a few seconds, she realized that she could not get up, she looked around and saw Jasmine, on a nearby table, unbound.

"Jasmine... WAKE UP!" she yelled.

Jasmine's eyes slowly opened, and then she looked around. Martha could see that she had been drugged.

The Amazing Woman looked down at her waist and saw to no surprise that the villain had removed her utility belt while she had been knocked out. However as Martha looked back at her younger sister Jasmine, she realized that her sister's belt was still around her waist.

Jasmine stood up. She saw her sister bound on the table across from her.

"Jasmine," said the Amazing Woman, "I know you have been drugged, but can you untie me."

Ebony smiled placing her hands on thighs.

"Jasmine," asked Martha as she remembered the Serpent liked to mess with his victim's mind, "Do you know who you are?"

"Don't be silly, oh course I do sister," said the young black woman dressed in purple, "My name is Jasmine Knight lately known to the world as Ebony!"

"Oh good," said Martha revealed, "for a moment there, I thought that the Serpent might have messed with your mind."

"Now why would he do something like that," asked Ebony, "I am his partner in crime!"

"Oh no," moaned Martha.

Then at that moment Max Brosnan opened the door and stepped inside. He was still dressed in a denim jacket and jeans. He never wore a traditional super villain costume.

"I'll make the necessary adjustments to the car Max," Ebony said as she stood up from the table and headed towards the door. She kissed Max on the cheek as she passed him.

"What have done to Ebony," demanded the Amazing Woman struggling in her bounds.

"I drugged her of course," explained the Serpent, "I thought about drugging you as well, but then I realized that three would be to much of a crowd!"

"It won't last," said the black heroine dressed in green, "Your hallucination drugs only last normally thirty minutes."

"True," agreed the Serpent, "but I didn't use a normal hallucination drug, instead I used a mind altering substance called E-346, a drug the government secretly uses in military combat overseas. It's not fatal but leaves holes in a persons memories and makes them very subjective to whatever they are told when they first wake up."

"E-346," said the Amazing Woman, "How did you steal that?!"

"I didn't," explained the Serpent, "I just copied the formula from a well trusted friend on the Internet!"

Amazing Woman grew angry as she remembered what happened to her last sidekick, "I won't let you turn Ebony into your sex slave!"

"Now there's a thought that hasn't crossed my mind," The Serpent laughed, "I only told Ebony that she was my partner in crime."

"But I saw her kiss you on the cheek," said Martha.

"Hey it's not my fault she's attracted to me," taunted the Serpent.

"Why did you brainwash her anyway," demanded Martha.

"Simple," explained Max, "For years I worked only, but in working alone you realize how lonely that is. I picked brainwashing Ebony over you cause she's closer younger and closer to my age... I know what you're thinking, that I'm nothing more than a deluded thug, but when all is said and done, Ebony and I will be very rich thugs!"

"So what becomes of me," asked the Amazing Woman struggling to free herself. Martha hoped to get free and defeat the Serpent quickly so she could reverse the effects of the E-346 before it became permanent.

"I need time to buy a distraction," explained the Serpent as he a needle in his hand, "The police are tightening security at all the banks in Metro City. This hallucination I am about to inject into your bloodstream will last only a few hours. Once I drop you off at Police Headquarters you will solve all my problems nicely."

Martha squirmed, turning left, then right trying to get free, or make it harder for the Serpent to inject the chemical, but she helpless as he injected the chemical into her. "No.... you can not... I won't listen...."

"Yes, you will listen," The Serpent gently brushed her hair back and smiled, while looking into her eyes, "soon I will take you and toss you out the new Serpent Mobile, in front to the headquarters of the new Alien Invaders. These Alien Invaders want to kidnap all the women and then impregnate them and turn them into sex slaves."

Max grinned as he put a blindfold over the Amazing Woman then slide on a pair of cuffs on her wrists and legs.

At this stage the drug was making the Amazing Woman confused and disoriented. Max picked Martha up and carried her over his shoulder carrying her to the Amazing Car, which was now the new Serpent Mobile.

Max smiled as he saw Ebony sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle. Martha was placed the back seat of the car and Max sat right next to her.

"Next stop Alien Headquarters," grinned Ebony starting the car.

"Aliens," moaned Martha, "Must stop... the aliens."

"That's right," said Max rubbing Martha's knee, "You must stop the aliens!"

The Serpent Mobile raised towards police headquarters.

*********************************

Larry McDonald was happy, it was his first day on the job at Metro City, in other places like Springfield or Riverville, there were huge villains causing problems. But Metro City had Amazing Woman to keep it safe. As he started to enter the police percent when he saw the Amazing Car pull up. He quickly went to the curb to see the city's best protector.

He looked at surprise when Amazing Woman was shoved out the door. Before he could do anything, the door was slammed shut and pulled away.

"Amazing..." he reached down to help her up, " are you OK."

As soon as he touched her shoulder, she looked up at him with anger. "I will never let you rape me alien," she screamed and jump up at Larry's throat.

The Amazing Woman forced Larry to the ground. He was in utter shock of what was happening.

"You will pay for trying to invade the Earth in my city," said Martha as she straddled her legs over his chest.

Larry was a slender young rookie cop fresh from the academy. He was having trouble breathing and Martha's hands were wrapped tightly around his throat.

At that moment Rachel Polaski dressed in a woman's police uniform with very short skirt was leaving police headquarters. She gasped at the sight of the Amazing Woman on top of the young cop. Martha's back was turned and she didn't see Polaski.

"How dare you aliens try and rape Earth women," yelled the Amazing Woman.

"H-Help," cried the rookie.

"Hmmm," thought Polaski, "Sounds like the Amazing Woman has been drugged by the Serpent. I have my own plans for this city, and I can't afford for anyone suspecting anything from me other than I am a well trusted second in command for Sheriff of Metro City."

Rachel pulled out her gun. She silently walked towards Martha.

****************************************

"Where to now," asked Ebony while driving the Serpent Mobile.

"Well Ebony, we need to find a new hideout, and then give this car a different colored paint job" suggested the Serpent as he claimed into the front passenger side seat from the back.

"I know just the place," smiled Jasmine. She changed course and headed towards the Amazing Lair.

*************************

"No..." Larry gasped, "don't... fire..."

Martha quickly turned around and saw a green blob raise up with a tentacle and try and fire. She ducked down as the bullet hit the cement and did a flying leap at it. "You will never take me alive."

As the heroine was straggling with Rachel, Larry quickly took out his billy club and whacked down hard on Amazing Woman's head. She turned around and her face got hit again, as her eyes started to roll up into her head.

"I'm sorry I had to do that," a stunned Larry looked as he dropped his baton.

"Augggghhhh," moaned Martha fighting unconsciousness.

Rachel and Larry wasted no time pulling out their handcuffs and restraining the black heroine dressed in green. Rachel cuffed Martha's arms behind her back and Larry tried cuffing her legs together, but the cuffs wouldn't fit around her green boots and he had to remove the boots completely and then wrap the cuffs around her ankles.

"No," screamed Martha as they picked her up and carried her inside. Martha believed that the slimy aliens had wrapped their tentacles around her arms and legs. Amazing Woman cried as she fought to escape, "No, I won't let you alien scum have your way with me!"

Larry asked, "What is Metro City going to do now that Serpent has drugged the Amazing Woman with hallucinogens?"

"Well then its up to Metro City's finest then," explained Rachel, "But lets get her inside and sedated for now, but I fear it's up to me to give that bad news to Mary!"

The two quickly picked up Amazing Woman, and then dropped her off in a nearby small room, normally reserved for integration, or keeping drunks until they sobered up.

Rachel leaned forward and felt Amazing Woman's pulse. She felt the heroine's heart beat very fast. "Why don't you go get Captain Langstrom, while I cuff Amazing up in case she starts to wake up again." Larry nodded and quickly left.

Rachel grinned, Amazing Woman would not be up for at least half an hour, as she shoved the bloody head up against the wall. She quickly got off the belt of Amazing Woman and started to search though the various items, while slipping a small tracer into one of the pockets. Polaski almost missed it, but she saw a small hidden pocket in one of the pouches, she quickly removed the out of state driver's license and credit card, belonging to Martha Knight. "I know who you are now, and when my plans for this city start to go, you will not be an obstacle in my way."

Rachel quickly put it back, just as Mary Langstorm and Larry's footsteps could be heard as the came back down the hallway.

***********************

The Serpent Mobile rode inside the entrance of the Amazing Lair. Ebony parked the car and she and Serpent got out.

"It's more impressive then you let on," said Max as he looked at all the different computers, gadgets, and souvenirs from pervious adventures that filled the inside of the cave.

"Yes," said the young black woman dressed in a tight purple bustier and spandex shorts, "All this belonged to the Amazing Woman, before I joined forces with you and became the criminal known as Ebony, I helped her construct all this. I decided the computers, her weapons, I even custom built the Amazing Car for her, which is now your Serpent Mobile!"

"Simply amazing," Max replied, "How does the Amazing Woman afford all this?"

"She is secretly employed by the S.W.O.R.D!"

"Ahhhh," said the Serpent, "So the secret anti-criminal origination allegedly funded secretly by the government does exist!"

"Can these computers be reprogrammed," asked Max, "and made to be programmed to formalize and commit plans of perfect criminal actions instead of being programmed to prevent crime?"

"That should be easy as pie," explained Ebony, "but there's something I need to ask you first."

"What's that," asked Max raising an eyebrow, he wondered if the drug the former heroine was wearing off early.

"If we are partners," asked Jasmine placing her hands on the trim of her mask, "Shouldn't you at least know who I really am."

Jasmine paused as she looked deep into Max's eyes. She felt like she just met him, there's was something about him though. Maybe because she was black and he was white, however she felt that wasn't quite it. Maybe it was because he was the wrong kind of man, a criminal mastermind, a villain, but then so was she wasn't she? Maybe thought Jasmine it has been so long since she worked so closely with a man, she always did fall in love fast and hard. One thing she knew for sure was that the Serpent was a lot more handsome to look at than her sister was.

"No," said Max. He had caught that look in her eyes under her mask. The eyes of a woman who had deep crush. He didn't know how to handle it; Max may have been a criminal mastermind, but he very little with women. He didn't want to hurt her; he so much looked forward to working very closely with her. And he did find her attractive, very attractive.

"No," asked Jasmine.

Max smiled and walked closer to her. He placed his hand on her chin and gently placed his thumb on Ebony's lips, "Leave it on for now, I like the mystery."

"Oh my," said Ebony as felt her heart raising by his touch, and his words. She was definitely falling in love with him.

Max smiled and said, "We should set some traps in case the Amazing Woman should return here.

***********************

The next morning at Metro City Hospital,

The doctor was examining Martha. The doctor had nicely cleaned up Martha's head injury and even found a cure to the drug that the Serpent had used on her. However it had its side effects on her.

As Martha rested on a hospital bed, her entire body was in a cold sweat. Her mind was raising with thoughts of her past, friends, lovers, enemies, sexual fantasies, her mind was on a rollercoaster, going on and on and around and around until...

"JASMINE!!!" Martha screamed leaping forward. Her body was shaking as sweat soaked her entire costume.

The doctor jumped back. He was very old, and almost could have had a heart attack

Martha pulled the sheet off of her and moved off the bed. She was in her green satin costume, however she realized was barefoot as her feet touched the carpeting.

"I got to get to her..." Martha explained almost babbling, "Have to save her!"

"You better lay down," explained the doctor, "You are in no condition to even be standing, let alone going around rescuing anyone!"

Martha didn't know where she was. Her last memories were being captured and drugged by the Serpent. She had no memory of attacking the police or even hallucinating about aliens.

At that moment Rachel Polaski entered the room. She was dressed in full uniform.

"Polaski," moaned Martha, "Well you tell this clown he's interfering with police business by getting in my way."

"Afraid I can't help you Amazing," said Rachel, "You are under house arrest!"

"What," demanded Martha, "Once Marry hears about this..."

"Mary Langstrom gave the order herself," snapped Rachel, "You are to remain here under house arrest until the doctor gives you a clear bill of health! You are in no condition to even take down a litterbug, let alone face the Serpent!"

"I must agree," said the doctor, "Your body needs rest. I'll get security to administer a sedative if you try and leave. There is plenty of cops here!"

"Cops," asked Martha.

"That's right," explained Rachel, "Mary Langstrom has about twenty cops here guarding you from any villains who might harbor a grudge against you!"

The black heroin in green sat down on the bed placing her hands on her thighs. She never liked Polaski; she was always so hard headed, as if she had something against her. Then how could she not? She was Mary's second in command, yet when Mary needs help who does she call and rely on? A stranger, that's who. If Martha was in Polaski's shoes she probably have quit a long time ago.

"With that many cops here," started the Amazing Woman, "Metro City is too far unguarded!"

"Tell me about," said Rachel with her teeth clinched. "You think I want to be baby-sitting a heroine who got her ass kicked by villain who still threatens Metro City?!"

With that Polaski turned and left. Martha placed her hand over eyes and cried. She never felt so helpless before in her life. Jasmine needed her. Metro City needed her. And there was nothing she could do!

**********************

Max looked around, and sighed, as Jasmine slowly moved and set up the final traps if Martha ever came back.

"Ebony..." He looked at the computer, "how hooked up to the countries computers are these machines."

"Well," she sat at the computer, and started to press a few buttons, "I can practically get into every single computer government computer in the nation, thanks to S.W.O.R.D."

Max smiled, "Even the Federal Reserve." Ebony nodded a yes.

"Good," He smiled, "what we are going to do is go in and brake into the Metro City Federal Reserve, and take a good look at their money."

"Steal it you mean?" Ebony got excited at the idea of trying to steal all the money and what she could and would do with it.

"Nope," he smiled, "we are going to put some chemicals on the money, and soon that money will be touching the hands of every single person as a contact chemical. It will act as the primer for all of my other chemicals." He smiled as they started to look at the schematics for the Federal Reserve's security system. "Most of the compounds I use, normally appear as a cloud of gas, or they smell, be injected, or something. But if a person has the primer in their body, via contact, I have a secondary compound which most of them can not detect and use."

"Just imagine," He lightly put his arms around Jasmine, and started to stroke her shoulders, "if you were a perfume that made everyone feel like you were important and that you needed to be cared for. You could just walk up to someone and ask them for their keys to a limbo. I have a chemical that would work, but normally it would smell like dead fish and eggs, which would get most people suspicious and off guard, but with the primer already in their body, it would be odorless, and undetectable to the human scenes."

Ebony nodded and smiled, it sounded as if the Serpent had big plans for Metro City, once everyone was infected with the primer.

*************************

Martha realized she had escape from the Hospital. She knew Rachel would check on her again in the next twenty minutes, so placed the satin sheet over her body and pretended she was asleep. Moments later Polaski returned.

Rachel came in to make sure the Amazing Woman was asleep. She saw the sheet covering Martha's body and walked over and carefully pulled to pull back down the sheet to reveal heroine's face. Martha's eyes suddenly blinked open and she reached up and delivered a quick karate chop to her neck that knocked Polaski unconscious.

Martha got up and moved Rachel to the bed. She removed Polaski's uniform and then used her own handcuffs to cuff her to the bedpost of the hospital bed. Martha then placed the bed sheet overtop Polaski's body.

Martha quickly dressed putting on Polaski's police uniform. With so many cops in the hospital it would be easier to blind in and slip through them dressed in a police uniform.

Martha quickly walked down the hall, nodding to one nurse then another. As she went to go out. Larry, was chatting a nearby on-duty nurse when he spotted someone, it looked like...."Hey stop!" he yelled, as Martha quickly broke into a run and went around the corner. She jumped over a cart and sprinted as Larry tried to catch up, but wasn't able to. Martha rammed though the front doors of the hospital and with her speed made it several blocks away.

Larry struggled to get out the front door, and looked around. "She got away... but it was not as if she was under arrest... I guess I need to either find Rachel, or tell Captain Langstrom." After a moment of indecision, he decided, "I'll find Rachel, she will tell Captain Langstrom."

*************

Jasmine smiled and glanced at Max. A simple electrical surge though the city's power-grid had sorted out the Reserve's air conditioners.

A simple interception of a phone call, and the two were in to 'repair the air conditioner' at the Federal Reserve.

Jasmine waited in the back of the repair van that they had 'borrowed.' Moments later there was a knock Jasmine claimed to the front seat of the van as Max opened the passenger side door.

"Everything go as according to as planned," asked young black woman in purple.

"Yes," said Max sitting into passenger side seat, "I placed that devise inside the new air conditioner you designed, it's now located over top of where the money is printed. Tomorrow morning the money that is shipped out from the Reserve will tainted with the primer-chemical. Within a few weeks or even days all of Metro City will be infected with the primer!"

The van drove off to the location where the Serpent Mobile was left.

**************************

The Amazing Woman walked up the outside entrance of the Amazing Lair. The black heroine was now just dressed in her green costume and boots. She had discarded the police uniform. She didn't have her utility belt though, the police having removed it from her during under the influence of the drug and the spare belt was inside the Lair.

Martha looked down on the ground and saw the fresh tire tracks leading into the Lair. She knew that the Serpent and Ebony had full access to the Lair, and if she was them, she would place traps inside the Lair in case the Amazing Woman would return.

"I hate having to chances like this," said Martha to herself, "I still have to go in there... Only the Amazing Computer can access the governments files on the E-346, so I can restore Ebony!"

The black heroine carefully approached the entrance of the mountain.

The Amazing Woman spotted a dim red light on the side of the entrance to the cave, with agility she jump up and over the inferred light and continued on. She carefully walked forward, and jumped back when she sent off a tripwire, that caused a net to fall down to the ground.

Martha said to herself, "Ebony defiantly does not fool around when it comes to traps."

Martha slowly slid around the wall, looking around the corner and pulled back her head as several tranquilizer darts hit the cave wall where she was moments ago.

"That was to close," Martha breathed.

She frowned and them moved along the wall, crouching this time. Unfortunately, she missed the small camera in the ceiling, which detected her motion. She looked up and saw gas coming down from the ceiling. Realizing she had nothing to loose, she jumped up and ran towards the rest of the Amazing Lair, dodging and tumbling past several traps, and jumping over the pit. She saw the entrance to the lair and her heart jumped with gladness as she ran towards it. Suddenly she fell back as she hit a glass wall. She turned around and heard the second glass wall descend from the ceiling locking her in. She pounded on the glass as she smelled ether in the room. She tried to get out, pounding with all of her strength, but it was no use, as she collapsed against the glass.

*******************************

Jasmine smiled at Max, "I think it worked." She grinned as took out a small Personal Assistant from her utility belt and watched one of the lights blinking red.

"Very good," smiled Max, "Now we just got solve the problem of what to do with her. Any suggestions?"

"I'm sure you'll think of something," said Jasmine wickedly.

Ebony placed the devise back in her utility belt as the Serpent Mobile arrived at the foot of the mountain. She pulled out another devise and deactivated the traps inside the Lair.

********************************

The Serpent and Ebony placed the Amazing Woman on a table. Martha's eyes were closed and her body was very relaxed is she was in a deep sleep.

"She looks very relaxed," smiled Jasmine removing her sister's green boots, "I know she keep thin devises hidden in her boots, so it's probably best if we kept her barefoot. Hmmmm."

"What is it," asked Max.

"I just remembered she also keeps a small pocket knife concealed in her bra," said Jasmine, "Would you mind checking for it?"

"Ummmm... sure," said Max pausing before placing his hands on Martha's chest, his hands carefully massaged gently over her 38DD sized bust, then he found what he was looking for and pulled the pocket knife gently out of the right side of her bra under her bustier.

"Come on," said Jasmine teasingly, "Your starting to make feel jealous here!"

"Is that so," asked Max as he smiled at Jasmine, "Well the Amazing Woman well be under for a few more hours... so any suggestions on what we should do?"

"Well Max," said Jasmine in a deep voice, "My old bedroom is located in the next room over there. I just love for you to see it!"

Max smiled as looked into the young black woman's eyes under the mask she wore. He couldn't believe Ebony was so wild.

Jasmine smiled as she took Max back into a separate room, she then pinned him into a wall. "Ready for some fun." She smiled as she started to kiss him.

"Yes..." was the moan Max gave back. Suddenly Jasmine was moved back grabbing at the needle her leg.

"Just relax," Max smiled, "I wanted to inject you with something that would make this experience a lot more better." He grinned, seeing the effect start to take effect in her eyes.

"What did you do to me, I feel like I'm in heaven," gasped Ebony as sat down on the bed.

"A none-addictive pleasure drug," said Max still holing the needle. "It's of my own design, it gives a heighten sense of touch."

The needle was still half full and Max injected the rest into his arm. He looked over at Jasmine sitting at the foot of her bed. He sat down beside her and placed his hand on her right thigh.

"OH MY GOD!!!!," cried Jasmine in ecstasy, Max's gentle touch wrapped around her every nerve.

"Oh yesss..." Max breathed. He felt the extreme amount of please his hand moved across Jasmine's smooth dark thigh.

Max removed his hand and crawled behind Jasmine. Holding his breath he began to loosen Ebony's costume.

Max smiled, as he slowly moved his fingers over Jasmine's skin. She shivered in delight felling his hands. Ebony turn around and slowly kissed him while slowly pulling the villain's shirt up higher and higher. Until it went over his head, their two lips broke for a moment, before they were locked together again.

Martha in the other room, she groaned slightly, lifting her head up and trying to focus on the area. And then closed her eyes again, as she went back to unconsciousness.

**********************************

At the hospital Larry went around looking for Rachel, he looked in various locations, and then went back to the room Amazing Woman was in. He saw the form a woman laying on the bed with the covers drapted over her. Larry took a deep breath and then pulled down the covers. He could only stare at the red headed figure who was handcuffed and gagged to the bed.

Rachel tried to yell, "HHHGMPPPH!!!"

Polaski's face was red with anger and humilation at being tied up.

Larry just stood there, she was naked except for her underwear, showing her body, which while not that of a 22 year old Supermodel, was very stunning for its 29 years.

Rachel glared at Larry, as he just stood, spellbound by her appearance.

Rachel screamed again, "HHHMMMMPPPPHHH!!!!!"

"Ahhh... right," said Larry as he removed the gag from Polaski's mouth.

"Larry," she screamed, "Stop staring and get me free!!"

******************************

Both Jasmine and Max were now both completely naked now with the exception of Jasmine's mask. Jasmine ran her fingers up and down Max's chest while he had her legs straddled with his own.

"Oh yes," breathed Jasmine, "Your touch.... This feeling... Make love to me... to my white prince.."

"Yes," breathed Max while he placed both his hands on Jasmine's breasts and gently massaged them, "Yes... my Ebony Queen."

**********************************

Larry tried to use his handcuff keys to free them, but found out that it was a different version. "Where are your keys?" He looked at Rachel, who was getting madder at the second.

"Down there you nimb wit..." she nodded with her head, pointing at the key which were right between her legs.

After touching more of her skin then was necessary, Larry grabbed the key and unlocked the cuffs on her right hand. Rachel grabbed the key and took it from him, and then shoved him away.

"Slow rookie..." she mumbled underneath her breath, promising vengeance once she had real power.

"Now," Rachel grabbed a simple nightgown. "Where is Amazing Woman?" She turned around showing that her authority radiated more from the police badge, but from her inner will.

"She..." a terrified Larry responded. "She....es... escapped."

"Well, how is Mary conducting a search for her?" Rachel started to walk towards the door, and turned around after touching the handle, hearing that Larry had not answered.

Larry wanted to shrink into a corner, "I... I have not told her yet...I was... hoping..." He gulped. "You could...."

Rachel frowned and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her as Larry wondered if he should follow or just stay behind.

***********************

After several minutes, Martha woke up again. She stumbled forward looking around. She heard the activity of the two in a nearby room. "I am in no shape to take either of them on..." she stumbled towards the computer. "...now... but if I can find an antidote for the gas...." She tried to concentrate to type something on the single keyboard in front of her that looked like 7 keyboards. "... or for E-346...."

Martha typed a few words into it, trying to gain access to the S.W.O.R.D. informational database, hoping she did not type in the wrong passwords that would activate the alarms.

The Amazing Woman held her breath as the computer processed the data. Then the data to the E-346 appeared on the view screen including the antidote to it.

"Excellent I'm in," thought Martha as read over the list of chemicals needed to produce the antidote to the E-346.

Suddenly an odorless gas came from the vent underneath Martha's. She breathed in the gas not even realizing it. The black heroine in green began to feel weaker, her vision even more clouded.

"Hard... to... think..." muttered the Amazing Woman, "Feels... like I'm..." Martha passed out before she finished the sentence.

**************************

Two hours later...

Martha's eyes opened slowly. She saw the Serpent and Ebony standing over her, both were fully dressed. Martha started to get up but soon realized she tied hand and foot to Ebony's bed.

"What happened," groaned Martha. Her head was still feeling the effects of the drugs in her system.

"You helped us access the S.W.O.R.D. mainframe," announced Max, "And I now have the antidote to the E-346! I so much wanted it!"

"You didn't already have it," asked Martha her head still spinning.

"Nope," said Max, "Originally I thought Ebony would be able to break into S.W.O.R.D. for me, as she did the other government computers, but she didn't have the computer access code that was entrusted to you. And since I made the mistake of letting you go earlier, I had to wait until you returned to the Lair."

"So you tricked me into accessing the computer for you," said Martha.

"That's right," said Max, "Why else do you think I left you unattended too and untied?"

"You bastard," said Martha struggling to free herself.

Max smile as he picked up a needle in his hand off the dresser. Martha frowned as she what was in his hand. Then suddenly Max turned around and injected the drug into Ebony's ass.

"Ahhh," cried Jasmine, "Max..."

Ebony fell to the ground unconscious.

"What did you inject her with now," yelled Martha as she struggled to free herself.

"The antidote to the E-346," said Max, "I still needed to test it, about an hour from now Ebony will awake and have her own memories back, however minus the memories she had while effected by the drug unfortunately."

"Why," said Martha surprised by Max's actions.

"Because no matter what you may think of me I do have a heart," explained Max placing the empty needle on the dresser and then picking up another, "Ebony fell in love with me of own free will while she served as my partner. And after awhile I fell in love with her. The problem being I loved her so much... I couldn't bare to see her as a puppet. When she awakens the time she sent with me will be long gone from her mind, and will be long gone as well."

"So you're letting her go," asked Martha.

"Yes," answered Max walking over to Martha with the new needle, "However you on the other hand... that's a different matter entirely!"

***************************

The next day...

"The Amazing Woman should be arrested," demanded Rachel slamming her fist down hard on Mary Langstrom's desk. "She assaulted me, a police officer! Stole my clothes, my uniform so could impersonate being a police offer, then once discovered she avoided arrest! And you now tell me you won't put out an APB for her arrest?!"

Mary Langstrom frowned as she sat behind her desk. It was like watching her son when he was five throwing a tempter tantrum.

"I won't do it," said Mary, "The Amazing Woman has saved Metro City from disaster more times then I can count. I won't arrest her because the Amazing Woman was in no doubt trying to do her job!"

Suddenly Larry barged into the office yelling, "Your never going to believe what just came down off the wire!"

"Believe what," demanded Polaski turning her attention onto Larry. She was still ticked at him too.

Larry shouted in almost disbelief, "The Amazing Woman has just robbed a bank!"

"WHAT?!" gasped Mary Langstrom almost falling backwards out of her seat.

"Looks like the Amazing Woman was no match for the Serpent's mind drugs," said Larry.

"Or perhaps Mary Langstrom's faith in the black heroine was unfounded from the start," interrupted Polaski almost grinning, "Now you no choice to put an APB on her!"

Mary frowned. "You can not do that, I have the final authority in things like this. Right now we need to find the Serpent."

"Well, the mayor can over rule you, order you to put an APB out on her, or even remove you from your post." Rachel smiled. Mary knew that Rachel had some connections in City Hall, but not how much pull.

"OK," Mary sighed in defeat, "I will but out an APB, BUT" she emphasized the word, "she is not to be harmed and non-lethal force."

*******

Amazing Woman smiled. She had just stroke a blow for freedom against tyranny and fear on those capitalist pigs. She knew, as she drove into the warehouse, that capitalism must fall.

Max was sitting on the sofa in the living room area of his new hideout. His thoughts were on Ebony. Did he make a mistake in letting her go? Could she have any way of tracking the Amazing Woman's movements? Could figure where he was? And did he deep inside really want her to?

At that moment the Amazing Woman stepped inside the room. In both her hands were heavy bags loaded with cash, diamonds, and jewelry. She had robbed two banks, two jewelry stores, and an ATM machine.

Martha tossed the bags aside. She walked over to where the Serpent sitting.

"Every thing went according to as planned, Robin Hood," Martha said looking at Max. The black heroine in green placed her hands at her hips. "The capitalist pigs are really hurting now!"

"Very good, Amazing Woman," Max said, "Your assistance has proven most valuable... in fact I have a reward for you."

"A reward," asked the Amazing Woman, "That's not necessary I gladly..."

"Now Amazing," interrupted Max, "I really must insist!"

******************************

Meanwhile back in the Amazing Lair, Jasmine couldn't believe what she saw on the news. The Amazing Woman a bank robber?! The last thing she remembered was entering the Pepper Factory with Martha and then triggering a gas trap and then blacking out. She woke in the Amazing Lair all by herself, with no memory of she got there. The worst part was the amount of time that had passed.

Jasmine paced back and forth trying to figure all this out. Then she looked up on one of the walls and saw t one of the cameras she installed inside the Amazing Lair about two months ago.

"That's it," Jasmine said to herself dashing towards the Amazing Computer, "The security cameras should have a record of every thing that has happened inside the Lair for the past forty-eight hours!"

Jasmine frowned as she found out on the computer that entirely erased. The she remembered she had hidden a back-up file. She remembered how Martha had deleted the files after her encounter with the Nypmhomania drug and had spent 24 hours in the cave and she did not have any record of it. So she promised herself that would never happen again.

"Oh.... oh my...." Jasmine was struck stunned by what had happened to Amazing Woman, but she was even more stunned by the feeling she felt for this villain. And she thought it was real.

*********

Martha frowned. "I do not need any reward for destroying those money loving pigs."

"Well, we will make them hate money..." He held up a container. "Once this has been sprayed over the city, all of them will hate their cash, it will cause them to get rid of it, to avoid getting any rashes, then we can collect it so the evil money can not be used any more."

Amazing Woman smiled. "How are we going to spray it all over the city?"

"I thought we might use one of the police helicopters." was the Serpent's reply.

"That's an excellent idea," said Amazing Woman still standing Max, "I should go out now and steal the helicopter from under this city's dirty police headquarters!"

"That won't be necessary Amazing," explained Max.

"It won't," asked the Amazing Woman confused.

"Sit down and I'll gladly explain," said Max.

"Alright," Amazing Woman said sitting down on the sofa next to Max. She crossed her legs as she leaned back to relax, "How do we get the helicopter?"

"That's simple," explained Max, "We get inside help! By now everyone in Metro City has been exposed to the primer in the money coming from the Federal Reserve, so we just have to gas someone who could bring us the helicopter. And I think I know the woman to do it too."

"Mary Langstrom," asked Martha.

"Nope," said Max, "Although probably a good choice, Mary is too high profile at police headquarters. We shall drug her second in command Rachel Polaski instead!"

***************

Jasmine watched the tape again. It appeared that she was the one who set the traps that captured Martha.

"Oh no," gasped Jasmine, "This is all my fault! He must have drugged me and I served him as a loyal sidekick!"

Jasmine felt tears running down her cheeks. She still didn't understand why she had feelings toward the Serpent. Her mind was raising, some memories managed to resurface, but not enough that could give her the full story of what happened the previous night.

The young black heroine dressed in purple sighed, "Well I got one type left... maybe the secret camera in my bedroom picked up something!"

***********

Max smiled, "I had this already planned, I took the address of her house from the S.W.O.R.D. computers. She lives in an upscale part of town, so let's go there and great her." He smiled but wondered how Rachel could afford that type of house on a police officers budget.

"Of course." Amazing Woman started to move to the Amazing Car.

*********

Larry frowned, he was taking Rachel home. Apparently Martha had taken Rachel's car and used it as a get away vehicle and it was in the impound lot being searched for clues.

"Do you need me to do anything?" he asked nervously as he started to drive his car into her driveway.

"No..." Rachel frowned wanting to get rid of this annoyance as soon as possible. The she look started. "That was the Amazing Mobile parked a block away. Perhaps she went into my house." She quickly jerked out a gun.

"Why would she do that?" Larry looked started at the gun.

"I will ask her if she is still alive when I capture her." She quickly got out of the car.

"What...?" Larry jumped out of his card and followed her. Perhaps Larry was useful, they would never trust a cop killer, no matter what Amazing Woman's past record was.

It would be so easy to frame the Amazing Woman for Larry's death, thought Rachel. Once she defeated her of course and removed her famed utility belt, she would use one of the many devises on Larry at close range. And since the Amazing Woman had already been drugged by the Serpent, Martha would no doubt confess thinking she actually did become a murderer while under the drug's effect.

Larry and Polaski carefully entered the house through the front door. The first thing the both realized was that the air inside the house was very thin, and hard to breathe. They began to feel lightheaded as they searched the house over.

"Something's wrong," gasped the younger officer, "Room feels like its being... being... fogged down."

"Must... be an odorless gas," gasped Rachel dropping her gun. The both of them while in a haze started to dash to the front door. However they never made to the door instead there minds fell into darkness instead.

Martha and Max slowly entered the room, looking around at the two helpless police officers. "It looks as if we caught two of them." Martha smiled, "but we only need one." Martha reached down preparing to inject Rachel with the sleeping antidote and the E-346.

"Wait a moment, let's go take them both back to the base, where I have a second dose of E-346. If the Serpent was crushed and destroyed in a fire, then no one will look for him." Max smiled looking at Larry who had a similar build. "We may have a use for him also."

Martha nodded and quickly lifted the two up and started to carry their small bodies to the Amazing Car.

***************************

Ebony raised through Metro City on the Amazing Cycle. She built the motorcycle herself it was loaded with the latest in crime-fighting gadgets and spying devises.

Jasmine couldn't believe what she had seen on the type. She had made love to the Serpent, not just as a willing partner, but in truth the actual aggressor. She knew at the time she believed what the Serpent had told her, but... but she still in love with him?

"I'm doing this to save Martha," she told herself as she followed the blinking light on the radar screen. It was a god thing the tracking system inside the Amazing Car was still working. The car was now moving again.

*********************************

Later...

The Amazing Woman carried Larry in her arms inside the factory. The Serpent was already in the other room with Rachel Polaski.

Martha placed him on a table and began removing his uniform. He was still unconscious and he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. She stopped when he left in just his silk black boxer shorts. By just looking at his body Martha pegged him to be only around twenty, twenty-two at the most.

"Probably fresh from the academy too," Martha said to herself.

"I must admit," the black heroine in green as she ran her fingers down the unconscious cop's bare chest, "You money loving white cops really do know how to stay in shape!"

The thirty-five year old heroine had the strangest feeling like as if she was doing something really forbidden or against her character.

Martha smiles as Rachel started to wake up from the effects of the E-436. "Now you are a simple henchwoman here to help me spread this chemical over the city."

Max frowned. "Give her more information, the more detailed you make it the more she will believe it."

Martha nodded, as Max continued, "It does not have to be believable just something very different from her personality with lots of facts which will slowly become true. And since we will not need it afterwards you can make it as wild as you want,"

"All right," Martha grinned, "Rachel you are actually a dominating lesbian nazi bitch wanting to take over the world and make everyone your sex slave. You trust and completely believe Max and myself because we have proven our worth and value our lives above all else, including your own life. With all else the men should be killed unless they serve a purpose for you and the females should be enslaved."

Max let out a low chuckle hearing what Martha had planned. She really could be evil if she put her mind to it.

"Ummm yes," said Rachel shaking her head still waking up. She did remember wanting great power, but the world..? Well it seems a bit much, but it was about right to her.

"How do you feel," asked the Amazing Woman.

"I feel fine," snapped the red headed female officer. Although she trusted the heroine completely for some reason got the impression that she never liked the woman. Maybe it had something to do with being a nazi and the Amazing Woman being black. "Just thinking..."

Polaski looked around the room and saw Larry lying on the table. He was unconscious and only wearing his boxer shorts. She remembered now she was Mary Langstrom's second in command, she was plotting to one day replace her and set her plan for real power into motion. Still there was holes in her memory.

Why was Larry at her hideout, she thought. Then she remembered plotting to betray and then kill him. That was to be the fate of all the men who did not serve a purpose to her needs, wasn't it? A selected few would be allowed to live to continue the human race.

"What is he doing here," demanded Rachel getting up from the table. Then she paused as she saw needles laying on a table marked "E-346" and said, "Wait I think I might remember."

"You do," asked Max surprised.

"Well if you remember, we were going to gas Metro City" started Polaski placing her right hand on Larry's shoulder, "and we needed an expert pilot... who better then Larry, I even trained him myself how to fly. Besides it would be too suspicious if I were to fly the helicopter. Looks like he could more useful alive then I thought."

"Well I guess that makes sense," said Max reluctantly. He had so much wanted to fake his death and be able to start over. It was starting to disturb how quickly Polaski was starting to take over.

The Amazing Woman readied another needle asked, "Any special instructions I should give him, Rachel?"

"I really don't care what you tell him," said Polaski, "And from now on I'm to be called the Baroness!"

"Serpent, I like to talk to you about this plan alone!" said Baroness as she turned and exited the room. Max grinned secretly picking a needle of E-346 off the table and then followed Polaski. Perhaps he just tweak her programming just a bit.

Meanwhile Martha saw Larry was starting to stir. She grinned wickedly and injected the needle into his arm.

*************************************

Meanwhile outside the factory, Ebony drove up to where the Amazing Car was parked. She pulled a dart gun from her utility belt loaded with the antidote to the E-346. Luckily she able to access the files that where left running on the Amazing Computer when she awoke.

"I hope this works," said the young black heroine with a heavy heart. Her feelings for Max were still there. What was she going to do if she saw him?

***************************

Martha gave an evil smile as she slowly began to inject the E-346 into Larry. "Larry, I want you to listen to me. Do you hear me?"

"Yes...." Larry replied in a dreary voice.

At that moment, Ebony ran into the room, smashing down the door. "I know you are acting evil, but you are a good person at heart, you are actually the heroine Amazing Woman."

"No," Martha dropped the empty syringe on the floor.

*****************

"Quick to the car and to the helicopter." Max screamed and ran for the door, not wanting a conversation with Ebony. He didn't even wait to see if either Amazing Woman or the Baroness was following him.

The Baroness hoped in the driver seat of the Amazing Car, as Max got in on the passenger side seat.

"Do you think drive this high-tech roadster," asked Max.

"We'll know in a second," replied Rachel starting the engine. "Should we wait for..."

"No," said Max, "And something tells me when we meet up with the Amazing Woman again... she's not going to be on our side anymore."

"Good," said the Baroness we put her foot the gas and spun the Amazing Car into the streets of Metro City.

"I don't think we should proceed with stealing the helicopter," said the Baroness. "If Larry talks... they'll be expecting us."

"I know," said Max, "And we better dump this car too, it's probably loaded with tracking devises."

"Then we go to plan B," said the Baroness.

"Plan B," asked the Serpent.

"Yes," said Rachel with an evil look in her eye, "It's time for my plan!"

******************************

"Yes, I'm the heroine known as the Amazing Woman," said Martha as lunged towards her younger sister, "I shall save this city from the money grubbing pigs that rule it!"

"No," gasped Jasmine as her older sister collided with her knocking her to the ground, "I don't want to fight you..."

"You got no choice Jasmine," said Martha as she pinned her younger sister's back to the floor. She sat down on Ebony's stomach. The dart gun had been knocked out Ebony's hand was now on the floor inches from her reach.

"Larry," screamed Ebony, "Help me!"

"Yes," said Larry waking up. He moved off the table and walked to the two black heroines. Larry bent down and wrapped his arms around Martha's waist and pulled her off Ebony.

"NOOOO!!!!" screamed Martha as she kicked her legs and wiggled her body trying to get free.

Jasmine took a deep breath and quickly grabbed the dart gun off the floor. She aimed the dart gun and fired a dart into Martha's right thigh. Martha's eyes closed as the drug's effect kicked in, she fell asleep instantly.

"Place her on the table," ordered Jasmine and Larry did as told, "When she wakes up hopefully she'll be herself again."

Ebony fired another dart this time at Larry. It hit shoulder and he started to fall backwards until Jasmine caught his arm carefully guided him to the floor.

Jasmine found Larry's uniform on the ground. Picked it up and began to redress him in it, so he wouldn't feel really embarrassed when he did wake up.

****************************************

An hour later...

The Amazing Woman moaned as she opened her eyes and saw someone standing over her.

"Ebony," asked Martha as she started to get up.

"It's okay," said Ebony as she helped her sister to her feet. Martha looked around and saw that they were not alone.

"How do you feel," asked Mary Langstrom. "You know that since while you were under the Serpent's you committed a few crimes like bank robbing, kidnapping? I'm legally bound to have you arrested."

"Oh," asked Martha, "Then why am I not in handcuffs?"

"I'm also on my coffee break," smiled Mary, "How much do you feel?"

"Like I've got one hell of a hangover," said the black heroine dressed in green as she got to her feet. The Amazing Woman shook her head. "Last thing I remember is the Serpent injecting me with the E-346..."

"Luckily I give you and Larry the antidote just in time," said Jasmine, "However the Serpent got away... again!"

"My police officers found the Amazing Car abounded about twenty minutes ago," said Mary.

"Larry," started Martha, "I think I remember something.... The Serpent, he drugged Polaski!"

"Hmmmm," smiled Mary, "I guess then I better put an APB out on her then! I've already dropped the charges against you, and pick up the Amazing Car anytime you like."

"Thanks," said Martha, "Now I think it's time I crushed a serpent!"

Mary, Jasmine, and Martha quickly got into the Amazing Car. "Where do we go?" A stunned Mary asked , looking at all the gadgets and other items in the car.

"To the police helicopter station." Ebony proclaimed.

"Are you sure, they must know, we well have it guarded and prepared for them to go there." Mary asked.

Martha quickly pulled out into the street and quickly passed the other cars with near breakneck speed.

"Well, there is no real other place to go. They might try a news helicopter, a business helicopter, or some other way of dispersing the gas. But there we can get a helicopter of our own and take them out of the skies."

Mary nodded, her face white at Martha's driving between cars, to the police Helicopter pad.

**********

"I would have never thought of this," Max looked surprised at the river that feed into the water treatment faculty.

The Baroness smiled back. A simple drop of the chemicals in here, and it will go all over the system. When a person turns on the faucet and exposes them to air.

"Soon everyone will be giving away their money." Max could almost feel his walet getting large.

"You think to small, I found a few extra's I put in here which should make the city more towards my liking." She tossed the container into the lake, smiling as the container would in the next two are three hours start releasing the chemicals into the water.

"What...no...." Max gripped for the canister as it started to sink, "What did you put in there?" He turned around and looked at Rachel.

"Just a few things that you would never have the courage to use." The Baroness smiled.

"You did not...you would not..." Max gave a small look at the Baroness and dived in trying to retrieve the cylinder.

The Baroness just laughed and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Relax, I know just what I am doing...." She then turned on her radio and activated the emergency police signal, that also sent out her location along with the owner of the radio's identity, former Police Officer Rachel Polaski. Things were going to be shorted out once and for all right here.

The Amazing Woman was listing to the emergency police frequency as she drove the Amazing Car towards police headquarters. Mary Langstrom had called and the police were getting the helicopter ready for the black heroines.

Suddenly the signal was interrupted as a voice came over the radio, "This is the Baroness! I challenge the Amazing Woman and that brat Ebony to meet me at the water reservoir or else!" The signal suddenly cut off, no further words were needed.

"That was Polaski's voice," said Mary Langstrom.

Martha suddenly spun the Amazing Car around and hit the gas.

"Yep," said Ebony as double checked the source of the last transmission using the computers belt into the dash broad of the vehicle, "The satellites confirm that broadcast came from Metro River, on Polaski's own police radio!"

"This has to be a trap," said Mary, "I better contact my officers to met us there."

"Yes," said Martha, "Good thing we're close to the river... if they contaminate the water supply..."

"I just hope they haven't," said Ebony.

***************************************

"What have you done," demanded Max. "The Amazing Woman, Ebony, and the police will be breathing down our necks any minute now."

"I know," said Polaski, "This means I better get out of this silly woman's police uniform, and into the Baroness attire. I want to be at my best!"

"I shouldn't have drugged you," said Max in the heat of the moment, "And shouldn't have allowed you to think you were a lesbian nazi bitch either..."

"What," yelled the Baroness as grabbed Max by the collar, "You mean you drugged me!"

The Baroness slammed her right knee into Max's crotch. He fell to his knees in pain.

"That's why plan seems altered," said Polaski, "Now I remember everything clearly! This actually works to my advantage.... If this plan succeeds Metro City's water supply will turn every citizen into my personal plaything. If should fail, I merely be given an antidote to your silly drug and go being second in command at police headquarters while secretly plotting my own designs. Either way, I win!"

The Baroness reached into a paper bag sitting beside her feet and pulled out a dart gun. She quickly pulled the trigger and dart loaded with E-346 hit his neck.

"Arghhh," cried Max as quickly pulled the dart out. It was too late though... the drug was now in his system.

"Listen closely Max," explained Polaski, "You are going to do as I say! First you going to forget that entire speech I just gave, then after I slip into my new costume you are going to..."

Max moaned as he looked up at the Baroness. She was dressed in black leather bikini and black leather biker jacket. She had a long leather whip in her hand which she slowly pulled threw her fingers.

"You are no longer the Serpent, you are no longer Max, you are just Slave Boy, willing to do anything for me. You want to serve me, you get pleasure just walking in my foot steps. You are willing to do anything, even kill yourself as a distraction for some heroine." The Baroness smiled. "Soon anyone who is near open water will lose their will, and if they get dunked into the water, they will no will of their own. That is what will happen to Ebony, Amazing Woman, and that stuck up prick, Mary Langstrom."

"I don't think so," interrupted the Amazing Woman who stood on the other side on the pear of the r. "It would take a full twenty-four hours before any chemical you might have placed into the river before it would completely contaminate the river! That gives me plenty of time to kick your tail and then find an antidote!"

"Is that so," asked Baroness, "We'll see about that! Slave Boy leap to your doom!"

"Yes Mistress," said Max as he leaped over the side of the bridge, hitting the water at this height could probably kill him. Although there was a chance he might survive.

"No!" yelled the black heroine in green as she suddenly pulled out her grappling gun and fired a rope that caught and wrapped around Max's legs as he fell. The rope acted as a bungie cord that stopped and held him in mid air. Martha started reeling him in, she made the mistake of turning her back on the Baroness.

After the Baroness saw that Max was safely back on the pear ran up behind Martha wrapping her leather whip around the black heroine's neck. Martha gasped for as the Baroness forced her to her knees.

"It's fitting you should now humble yourself Martha Knight by bowing to me," said the Baroness, "Especially after all the times you humiliated me!"

"Y-You know w-who I am," asked the black heroine in green who was now gasping for air.

"You have no secrets from me," explained the Baroness, "Soon you'll be another worthless slave!"

"N-Never," yelled Martha as she reached around and grabbed Polaski's right breast and gave it a hard twist.

"Arrragghhh," screamed Polaski.

Rachel let go and stepped back to the edge of the bridge. Martha quickly got up to her feet and without thinking gave the Baroness a roundhouse kick that sent her flying over the top of the railing.

"What have I done," gasped Martha as she got over the edge of the bridge and looked down. She got there in time to see the look on Polaski's face as she fell.

"NOOOOO!!!!" screamed Polaski as she fell.

By the time Martha got out her grappling gun the Baroness had vanished into the river.

***********************************************

Five days later...

The Amazing Woman stepped inside Mary Langstrom's office. Mary was behind the desk as usual. She saw the black heroine dressed in green entered the room.

"What are you doing here," asked Mary.

Martha started, "I thought I'd come for the latest on the case.."

"Well the Serpent is safely back behind bars," said Mary Langstrom, "Your scientists friends from S.W.O.R.D. determined what drugs placed in the river and placed an antidote into the water supply. The case is closed."

"And Polaski," asked Martha.

Mary Langstrom shrugged, "Still no sign of her body... the river's water currents were awfully strong that day, it could have carried her off further up stream.

"Or she could have survived," said Martha.

Mary nodded her head.

The Baroness had the makings of a very formidable opponent. If she did survived, one day when they least expected it she could return.

The End?
