It was just another day as a young, super heroine for me; fighting thugs on the streets, saving lives in peril, and tracking down villains who were up to no good. At the time I wasn't considering going out with anyone. I tried to date a little, but I just felt so different to all of the guys at my high school. After all, how many girls were capable of stretching their bodies to nearly any length? No, I was going to be a superhero, one of the only girls in a man's domain, but a superhero nonetheless. I was Elastigirl, protector of the innocent.
I was stretching from building to building when I suddenly noticed a bus of school children had crashed on the bridge, and was about to fall into the river below as it was balancing on the ledge. I rushed over to the vehicle and looked inside. The children were all crying out to be saved while the driver laid unconscious at the wheel.
"Don't worry kids," I assured them. "I'm here to help. I won't let anything hap-"
But just then the bus began to slide even further over the edge. The children screamed in fear, so I did the only thing I could think of. I stretched myself out to keep the bus from falling any further. The strain was unbearably painful and I couldn't possibly hold on for much longer.
"Need assistance?" a voice calls out to me.
I glanced up at the bridge to see a handsome superhero looking down at me from the edge. Immediately I was relieved to have some help. He rushed over to the back of the bus and blew a hole through the door with a radiation blast. Quickly he grabbed each child and helped them climb down. He finished saving the children and went in to carry out the driver.
"We're all set!" he calls down to me.
I loosen up and allow the bus to fall into the water below. I slowly try to pull myself up to the ledge of the bridge. The superhero that assisted me comes over and bends down to offer me his hand up with a charming smile. I take his hand and he pulls me up into his arms. I was taken away by his courteously and allure as he gazed into my eyes.
"Are you alright?" he asked me.
"Yes," I answered. My face had started to heat up and my heart skipped a beat. "My name is Hel- I mean, Elastigirl."
"I know who you are," he chuckles stroking the side of my face with his hand. "I've seen you in the news lately. You're much more beautiful in person than I thought."
"You're… You're Gamma Jack aren't you?" I ask as my hands slide over the insignia on his chest.
"Yes I am," he tells me. "And I apologize if I am being too forward about this, but are you doing anything later?"
I swear my face must have blushed so red at that moment. I try to find the words to answer him. "No… but if you want to I'd love to spend the evening with you…"
"Awesome, than I'll meet you at Vinney's at six?"
"Of coarse!"
Just then we noticed the crowd of people who were cheering for our bravery. We both turn to wave and take the applause. Gamma Jack keeps one hand around me, and I felt on top of the world. There were plenty of girls adoring his looks, but I felt special.
Photographers had taken our picture together and not too long afterwards there were newspaper articles reading that we were a couple. Gamma Jack and I found this to be cute.
At dinner, we discussed our heroic exploits and shared our secret desires as we enjoyed expensive Italian food. We went to the park after dinner just as the sun was setting. I was laughing so hard from Gamma Jack's jokes, and from his playful tickling. He led me to a park bench where we sat down and watched the sunset. I laid my head against his shoulder while he held his arm around me.
"This is a beautiful sunset," I point out to him. "I like oranges… the pinks… the yellows…"
"Sure this sunset is beautiful," Gamma Jack agreed with me. "But I have here a super heroine whose beauty is far beyond any sunset I have ever seen."
I hopelessly smile as he places his hand underneath my chin and kisses me. At that moment, I melted into his embrace and fell helplessly in love with him. He stares into my eyes afterwards making my body tingle with excitement.
"I really enjoyed this date," I said to him.
"I really enjoyed your company, Elastigirl."
We kiss again for a brief moment until we hear cries for help as a random woman has her purse stolen. We both get up and rush off to assist this helpless woman together. From then on, we were quite the heroic couple.
We had been going out for over two weeks. Most of our dates consisted of fighting crime or saving people together. We barely ever had time to take a hiatus and actually date. However, after we saved the lives of innocent people, we usually snuck off whenever we could and found an alleyway where we could make out. We had been moving quickly in our relationship because we couldn't get enough of each other. We began with simple pecking of the lips and went to licking the insides of each other's mouth in heated passion. I allowed Gamma Jack to fondle my breasts and my butt as he sucked on my neck giving me the most sensational hicky. I admit that I grabbed his ass from time to time as we locked lips. However, I began to suspect that the speed of this relationship might have been spiraling out of control.
We had just finished making out after stopping yet another bank robbery when Gamma Jack wanted to talk about something.
"What is it Babe?" I asked him as he held me tight.
"This is by far the best relationship I have ever been in. Even with our tight heroic schedules I feel like we have stayed so close to one another...."
"I feel the same way…"
"I love you Elastigirl," Gamma Jack told me.
"I love you too Jack…"
"Then would you like to prove it to each other?"
I feel oddly worried when he asked me that question. "What do you mean?"
"I want to make love to you Elastigirl…"
I step away from him breaking our embrace. This struck me dumbfounded.
"We can't… We had only just started… We don't even know each other's true identities."
"Than this is the perfect chance," Gamma Jack tells me as he steps towards me and places his hand on my shoulder. "I want to know the girl behind that mask, and I want you to know the man behind this one."
"I never had sex before."
"I can walk you through it," he assured me. "I've had it a few times before, and I was able to please the girls just right. I bet that you'd be great yourself with your special abilities…"
That last statement struck my nerve. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"I'm only saying that you'd make a great sexual partner… You're beautiful, limber, and full of spark…"
I backed away from him. "Is that all you ever thought about with me? Sex?"
"I thought about you in all sorts of ways. Not necessarily sexual all the time, but from time to time I do. Why, have you never thought about me in that way?"
"I have," I admitted. "But I never wanted it to be that soon. I don't want to have sex with someone I wasn't meant to be with…"
"You're not saving yourself for marriage are you?"
"I don't know… But could we just wait a while longer? I still think we need some time to reveal our identities to each other, and even then we need time after that before I can even consider having sex with you. Is that alright?"
Gamma Jack sighs. "Alright. I can wait… For you."
I smile and caress his face. "Thank you."
We went off to do more superhero work that day. Our relationship continued for a few more days, but even during that time, I felt like there were some unresolved issues.
I heard of Gamma Jack's run in with the beautiful Blazestone the next day, but I thought nothing of it at the time. She was quite the woman who every man wanted to have but couldn't. I was entirely convinced that I could trust Gamma Jack to stay faithful even though at times he appeared to enjoy the attention of other women far too much.
The next few days proved to be so much torture for me since Gamma Jack appeared too busy to hang out as much and spent more time with Blazestone. I was compelled to have a serious talk with him, but we had never revealed our secret identities to each other. Contacting a man in a mask was harder than I thought it would be.
I decided to track him down late one night instead of my usual patrol for crooks. I spotted him coming out of the sewers with Blazestorm after what looked like a harsh battle. They were covered in sludge and were very tired. I stayed in the shadows as I snuck up closer to them to hear better.
"Thank you for the
assistance Jacky Boy," the heroine complimented him. "I wouldn't
have defeated the Gator Gang without you."
"No problem
Blaze," Gamma Jack assured her. He sniffed his arm and felt sick by
his own stench. "Pew! We really need to take a bath!"
"Here," Blazestorm takes his hand and leads him. "Follow me back to my place. You can use my shower. It isn't too far."
"I really should be going," Gamma Jack obliges. "I have plans to meet someone soon."
"Well, you don't want to smell awful do you?"
"I guess not… Alright then, but then I have to get going."
"That's fine by me."
The idea of my boyfriend taking a shower at another woman's place seemed suspicious to me, so I followed them as they snuck back to her place. Blazestorm leads him to her window where they enter her apartment. She turns on the light and leads him to the bathroom with a spare towel. I watch from the window upside down as my neck stretches to just barely give me a view. Gamma Jack comes out clean in only a towel and his mask. Both Blazestorm and I stare in admiration of his bare, built chest.
"I don't suppose you have anything to clean my suit do you?" he asked her holding his suit with the tip of his fingers.
"I have a machine out in the TV area. Just lift the picture of my dog and press the button underneath."
Gamma Jack goes out to the TV room to clean his suit just as Blazestorm passes by him to take a shower herself. They share an awfully suspicious look as they pass each other. Gamma Jack finds the washer alright, but suddenly Blazerstorm's suit is thrown to his feet.
"Could you wash mine while you're there?" Blazestorm asked as she stuck her head out of the bathroom door. It was obvious that she was naked in that room.
"Sure," Gamma Jack tells her. I got awfully angry that he seemed quite pleased to do that.
I patently watch Gamma Jack as he sits waiting for the machine to finish cleaning their suits. I notice my boyfriend peeking over every so often to see if the girl was done. The machine finishes with their costumes just as Blazesrorm comes out of the shower. She too only wears her mask and a towel to cover up her beautiful extremities. Gamma Jack was dumbfounded. It made me angry that he seemed to be attracted to this other woman.
"Here's your suit Blaze," he says as he hands her the cleaned suit from the machine.
She smiles as she takes the costume. "Thank you Gamma."
"Well, I guess we should get dressed…"
Blazerstorm walks up to him and caresses his face with her hand. I got furious when he caressed her hand back.
"Gamma, I know you've been seeing Elastigirl lately, and I know that we said our make out sessions were supposedly one time times… but I can't help myself. I want to be with you, Gamma. Please, just take me in your loving embrace."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"I can't Blaze, I'm still with…"
Before he could even finish his statement, Blazerstorm allows her towel to fall onto the floor to reveal her beautiful naked body. Even I knew she was attractive for a girl. Gamma Jack just stared at her like a horn dog. He didn't even try to stop her when she leaned forward to kiss him. I watched in horror as they began to make out on the floor as Gamma Jack's towel falls off.
"Damn you!" I shouted at him. I watched him turn his head towards the window in surprise.
"Elastigirl!" he called out to me. "Wait, I can explain!"
I didn't want to hear any of his excuses. I recoiled my head back up and ran away from that place. I could hear him calling back to me, but everything he said sounded muffled under the sound of my own sobbing. I remembered the emotional pain and the wet tears that streamed down my face that night. I could barely sleep that night.
The next day I went out patrolling the building tops for some super hero action. I tried to focus at the matter at hand, but I was deeply hurt by the incident the night before. I couldn't get Gamma Jack out of my mind even though he was a total bastard. This was one of my first few relationships.
"Elastigirl?" a voice called to me from behind. "Can we talk?"
I turned around to see the jerk standing before me with a concerned look on his face. I couldn't allow him to see how hurt I was, so I glared at him angrily and turned away.
"What is there to talk about?" I questioned him. "You were cheating on me…"
"I'm sorry," he apologized, even though it was all empty to me. "I just got so impatient to have sexual relations again that I didn't control myself. You have to believe me, this was a one time mistake…"
"You're right, that was a one time mistake. Because I'm leaving the city tonight...."
"What?? Are you kidding me?? This city is full of crime and you have been helping out a good deal. Don't tell me you're leaving just because you want to break up."
"I was only here for the summer," I explained to him. "This was only my vacation. I have to go back to school in my hometown, where there's plenty more crime for me to take care of."
"But the city needs you," he exclaims as he wraps his arms around my waist. "I need you…"
"No," I pushed him away from me before he could kiss me. "You obviously don't need me, and the city will be just fine with you and Blazer… This is goodbye Gamma Jack…"
"No!" he calls out after me as I swing away from building to building with my stretching abilities. I continue to cry as I swung away.
