Alicia Masters Wanders In Before Sue Can Get Her Powers Under Control

Stop it, Sue! The Invisible Woman told herself. Concentrate!

Yet the universe provided a distraction.

Alicia Masters, in her tight-fitting yoga spandex, stepped gingerly into the exercise room. The blind woman stared sightlessly, her strawberry-blonde hair cropped short, one hand seeking and finding the guide-bar that had been installed around the room exactly for this purpose. Her body was lithe, less muscular and athletic than Sue's own, with a thinness that spoke to a good metabolism, careful eating, and regular exercise, not because she needed to go on adventures but because for a blind woman life was an adventure, and keeping in shape was a necessity for navigating a strange world with limited senses.

"Hey, babe!" Ben Grimm grunted.

"Hello, sweetheart," Alicia called out.

"Hello, Alicia," Sue managed, and was relieved that the blind woman couldn't see Ben's thing so utterly exposed.

"Oh, hello Susan," Alicia smiled and turned toward her voice. "Would you like to do some partner exercises this morning?"

"Sure!" Sue said, and was glad to see Ben's pants fading back into visibility as she made her way over to the corner of the room where Alicia waited for her.

Partner exercises were something both Sue and Alicia enjoyed. Squat bridges, crunch passes—the interaction pushed both women to work a little harder, added an interactive element that made the mere rote exercises more interesting. Some exercises like tossing the medicine ball weren't practical, given Alicia's limitations, but the young blind woman was flexible and considerate as a partner.

Sue threw herself into the exercise as they moved together. Stretches, first, to warm up. Then crunch passes. The two women set themselves on the floor, feet flat and intertwined, facing each other. Sue held a basketball in her hand.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Ready," Alicia said.

"On three," Sue said. "One...two...three..."

The women both rose, abs contracting as their torsos rose. Sue brought the basketball forward. Alicia found it, grabbed. The pass completed, they both went back down to the floor, and then rose again for another pass.

Back and forth. Back and forth. Set after set and...

As Sue Storm rose, abs burning, she saw that Alicia's spandex had gone invisible. The young blind woman looked completely naked; her pink nipples and small breasts completely exposed, her labia, waxed and hairless, on clear display.

Sue Storm's heart sank.

Not again... she thought.
