It really had been a long time since Penumbra had a proper shower. Sure, Dark Phantom had been accommodating, but she didn't feel comfortable taking her time with so many men around. In the privacy of her own home though...
She unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor. She cupped her breasts in each hand and sighed out. It felt nice to be free of the constricting garment. If it weren't for how big they were she'd go a day or two without even wearing a bra. Her hands went down her stark body, removing her panties and socks. The accident had burned off all the hair from her body, except her eyebrows and eyelashes, leaving only dark shadows that were downright transparent in the daylight.
Penumbra stepped under the warm water, not even bothering to close the shower door. Mainly because she thought she was alone in the house. She ran her hands up and down her body, letting the water wash over her as she was finally relaxed after all the stress of her life. The villainess needed this badly as she felt her muscles finally loosen as the warm water relaxed her, soothed her, let her mind run away to places where she could be honest.
She missed Sunblast over the aftermath of the Miss Heed incident. That much was obvious and it felt different than losing just a friend or just a roommate. It was something... more...
It's been a while since she'd done this, more so in the shower. Just going over the curves of her body, lathering herself up in scented soap. Penumbra was rather flexible and able to get in those hard-to-reach areas with ease. Just stretching her muscles in certain directions felt more and more relaxed but began to feel wet in more ways than one and it may or may not have to do with a certain hero who she couldn't get out of her mind.
Penny imagined what it would be like if Sunblast was here right now. What would she do? What would she say to him? What did she want to say to him?
"I don't know… I thought maybe, maybe we'd stay together?" She thought. "I know that's crazy, now he's back to normal and back to being Atreno's protector. He's got his life back, just like he wanted..." She mumbled sadly as she scrubbed herself with body wash. She went over her breasts in circular motions, feeling her nipples harden from the attention. She moaned slightly, giving in, and feeling herself.
"I missed you," she murmured out loud.

Just outside Sunblast made it to Penumbra's house he could see that she no longer had to use the hologram. Sunblast then changes clothes to his civilian form, and takes a deep breath as he walks towards the door. "Ok man, just talk to her...what would you say? I mean...is she seeing someone else. I mean she could be older than you…" Sunblast says to himself as tries to figure out what to say to Penumbra. He clears his throat and is about to knock on her front door when he starts to hear a sound.
Sunblast then listens to the sounds of a water running and assumes that she was busy. "Well, I don't want to disturb her…" Sunblast shrugs as he begins walking away. But he stopped short, his curiosity was getting the best of him. He followed the sound of her moaning, and he just couldn't stop letting his curiosity get the best of him. "Ok… maybe just one peak… I mean how old would she be…? She could be hot. No, she could be oldish. I mean she wouldn't..." Sunblast looked at her through the window crack and his jaw dropped. "She's a babe." He whispered in awe.
Saul couldn't stop looking. He would be disgusted by her appearance if it weren't for the fact that she looked like a model, and she looked beautiful to him.
"She's…a goddess…" Sunblast whispered to himself as he saw that she seemed lost in thought.
Then suddenly Sunblast stepped on a twig that made a "CRACK" sound and made her open her eyes in panic.
While Saul looked down at the offending twig. "Oh shiii…" he muttered before being cut off by her voice.

"Wh-Who's there!?" Penumbra called out. She reached for the blaster she kept under the sink in case of emergencies. "I'm warning you I'm armed!"
"Uhhh Penumbra it's me!" Sunblast says as his hands were in the air.
"Oh..." Penumbra lowered the blaster. Then the pale lady realized she was still naked. "What the hell are you doing?!" She felt angry, relieved and embarrassed all at once.
"I... wanted to talk to you, and I got curious when your water was turned on." Sunblast says as he looks away in embarrassment.
"Well... let me put a towel on." Penumbra hid behind the large gun and managed to wrap herself with one hand. She still felt very exposed like this, and questioned what the point was even since he just saw her naked not two seconds ago.
Sunblast was blushing as he could see Penumbra's exposed legs. They were like the legs of a professional dancer, and her thighs were just so plump for a skinny woman. "Ok I'll wait for you outside…." Sunblast muttered out.
"Thank you," she mumbled. She quickly threw a robe on and walked to the front door. "It's just Sunblast," she told herself. "You know him. He lived with you for months! You can do this!" She hesitantly opened the door for him. "Come in."
"Thanks, and woah! This place is now smaller than I remember…" Sunblast says as he looks around and sees Curie. "Curie… oh hey there little buddy!" Sunblast says happily.
Curie squealed happily, running over to the edge of the sofa, and reaching out for herold friend. Sunblast held out his hand and the mouse instantly crawled up to his shoulder. Penumbra couldn't help but think he looked so sweet like that.
"She missed you." She spoke. After a while she worked up the courage to say, "I missed you too."
"Yeah...well...I... uh…" Sunblast was flabbergasted but was trying to keep his ego. Or whatever remains left of it. "Uh well I didn't…" Sunblast blurted. "I mean not that much...I… Well…." Sunblast couldn't stop looking at her eyes.
"O...ohh..." she looked away. "Of course. You must be happy to be back in the spotlight, Mr. Hero." She smiled at him sadly.
'Look the spotlight doesn't matter to me anymore...what matters is that Atreno is safe and out of Miss Heed's control, and... I'm glad that you are ok.' Sunblast said to himself as he tried to look her in the eyes. "Ok tell her…" Sunblast muttered to himself. "Uh Penumbra! I…"
She brushed her shadow hair behind her ear. It was always more solid when it was damp like this. "Yes?"
When Penumbra brushed her ghostly-like hair like that, it made Sunblast blush that he had to stop talking about his feelings. "I still need to stop you when you try to block the sun."
"Well, I won't need to do that if the sun doesn't shine constantly. Remember what happens with umbrams and sunlight?" Penumbra warns
"Ahh, yeah..." Sunblast rubbed the back of his neck. He couldn't put her- HE MEANT HE COULDN'T PUT THE PEOPLE OF ATRENO at risk like that.
"Yes, I know, but...it is my job, but I promise I'll go easy on you, I mean I won't hurt you as much...I mean!" Sunblast kept stuttering "... I may have to pretend that I defeated you."
"Pretend you defeated me?" Penny asks
"Yeah, so that way we wouldn't have to fight, you know. And if storm clouds cover Atreno every now and again... maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing." Sunblast suggested
Penumbra just frowned and turned away as Sunblast continued "Look I cannot let the Department of Security or P.E.A.C.E see that we are buddy buddy. I mean it's my job and I..." Sunblast said as Penumbra was getting sadder and more frustrated by the second. "I'm sorry." He finally said. She looked back over her shoulder. "I...I don't want to hurt you anymore. But..."
"But what?" Penumbra said as she snapped at him.
"I wish there was another way for us to be together." Sunblast says as he finds a sense of courage "I... When I was with you, I learned just how much of an oppressor I was, and I learned so much from you… I know it wasn't your fault for what happened. How you became this way. You're beautiful and smart..." Sunblast said until Penumbra grabbed his hand.
"You...you think I'm...beautiful?" She sounds as if she didn't fully believe it but looks to his eyes for an answer.
"Well, I used to think you were old...nerdy...saggy..." Sunblast says until Penumbra leads his hand close to her chest and he blushes a fierce red.
"But then I... I actually got to know you. I got to see you, the real you. You never were the villain they… I made you out to be."
She brought his hand up near her chest. Her robe was slipping open, and he could see the top of her breasts
"Penumbra I…" Sunblast touched her bare chest, and it was so plump. "Wow, so soft…" Sunblast said dreamily as Penumbra mischievously smiled.
"It's a hydrating body wash. Makes my whole body...soft."
"Woah, I thought you hated cosmetics?" Sunblast says as he gets closer.
"I hate cosmetic companies that experiment on animals and damage the environment." She corrected, letting her robe slip down her shoulders. "This is all natural." She purred.
Sunblast looked at her upper nakedness and said, "You don't need all that stuff even if it is natural, because you are beautiful." Sunblast says as he got closer and lifted Penumbra's chin to his face.
"Sunblast..." She whispered. Their faces came closer, and closer. Her eyes shut from the slightest touch of their lips.
Sunblast felt a calm of shadow in his body as if the dark was filling the empty light he had in him.
Penumbra felt warmness and whole as light completed the dark in her
Curie made some quiet squeaking noises and scurried down Sunblasts arm. She made her way back into her house and left her roommates to their business.
