As long as he has to stay naked.

Richie and Tabitha sat huddled together side by side and facing one another in an invisible tent made from Richie's armor.

“Are they still out there looking for us? Tabitha asked of her naked compatriot.

“Let’s see.” Richie removed his right hand from his crotch leaving only his left hand as his sole remaining covering. He reached up and touched his tent making connection with his armors nanites and specifically the invisible sensors he had formed from his nanites and placed on top of the tent. “Yep, they are still there sweeping the area for us.”

“Are these guy’s ever going to give up we have been here for a couple of hours now.” Tabitha whined.

“Morning will be coming soon I doubt they will continue the search in broad daylight, it would bring too many questions they don’t want to answer.” Richie said.

“Morning, aw geez my mom will kill me if she finds out I was out all night.”

“See now it is talk like that that makes me feel dirty even if you are 18.”

“Just because I am over 18 doesn’t mean I want my mom on my case. I think you should make it up to me and show me your penis.”

“I am not going to show you my penis just because you keep asking for it.” Richie said. If for no other reason than that would mean you win and that isn’t going to happen.”

“Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the reason you can’t keep your armor on is because you haven’t shown me your penis yet?”

“How do you figure?” Richie asked.

“Well my power strips boys naked right, whether I want them to or not it just sort of happens, so maybe my power keeps twisting reality so that you have to be naked because I have yet to see you in all your glory.”

“OK let’s say that I buy that, it could still be a subconscious desire of yours that your power is manifesting.” Richie replied.

“Exactly my point. My subconscious is like acting out all my ENM- embarrassed naked male fantasies and believe me, you have starred in most of them, so my power keeps arranging things to keep you naked until I get the full goods.” Tabitha said with her mischievous little smile turning the corners of her lips. “So, the only way you’ll get to not be naked is for you to make the big reveal and let me see that darn penis of yours.”

“I’m not falling for that.” Richie stated matter-of-factly.

“Hey, it’s not a trick just a theory and it’s better than the alternative that since you are the star of so many of my ENM fantasies, you are now doomed to go through life constantly being stripped naked and humiliated. “

“Very funny.”

“Whose joking it is a working theory.” Tabitha said laughing.

“Why are you so into ENM anyway.” Richie asked.

“I guess it all stems from my next-door neighbor and best friend growing up. We used to do everything together. One day his older cousin was babysitting us and we did something to annoy him, so he stripped off Lonnie’s swimming trunks and locked us both outside. Poor Lonnie was so embarrassed he cried, and I had to comfort him. He was just so cute all naked and embarrassed that even after we found a way back into his house and got him some clothes to wear, I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. So, the next time I was over there I accidentally walked in on him changing. I saw absolutely everything again and he accused me of doing it on purpose. I of course denied it but when I walked in on him in the shower a few days later he pretty much knew I was lying. Ever since then I have been obsessed with the fantasy and as my powers have grown so has my obsession.”

“So, you think your power is acting out this fantasy of yours but at the same time growing it into...”

“A complete obsession.” Tabitha finished for Richie. “Yes, I know it is not normal for girls to think about naked men as much as I do, or be as turned on by the sight of naked men as I am. You would think I was a guy I am so obsessed by it, except I don’t even think about sex that much unless the girl is fully clothed, and the guy is completely naked why they are having sex. It is always about the male being nude and the woman or women fully clothed. It’s like I am some pervert or something.”

“I wouldn’t say that. I mean it’s not like you are purposely stripping every guy you meet.”

“No but i am still ending up doing it and I am enjoying every minute of it. Even as long as we have been here, I am still enjoying you being naked, and I would gladly keep you like that if you left it up to me.”

“Yeah, I am totally not leaving that up to you.”

“You see, and proving my perverted-ness even more, it is totally driving me crazy that you won’t show me your penis!”

“I see that and it’s still not going to happen, in fact, because of that it’s not going to happen.” Richie said confidently.

“I am so taking that as a challenge.” Tabitha shot back.

“Yeah, I would expect nothing less from you, my friend.” Richie laughed.

“Do you mean it.” Tabitha asked hopefully.

“Oh, yeah of course. I mean we have been sitting here for hours with your stupid power forcing us to overshare. I’ve told you things I’ve never told anyone before. In fact, you feel more like a little sister to me.” Richie said frankly.

“Boo, just what every girl who has crushed on a guy for years wants to hear ‘I think of you like a little sister’” Tabitha said obviously disappointed.

“I’m sorry, I’m eight years older than you with a lot of superhero mileage that makes me feel much older than that, I can’t help seeing you as a kid I need to protect and teach, not a romantic love interest.” Richie said gently but firmly. “Besides before today all you had ever seen was the mask and the persona not the real me.”

“Yeah, well now I’ve seen literally almost everything beneath the mask and the persona, and it hasn’t made me like you or admire you any less, if anything I love you more than ever. Hey, wait a minute you said teach, does that mean you are going to let me be a member of the Justice Warriors?”

“If there is going to be another Justice Warriors. I have to talk to the other surviving members and see how they feel about it, but either way these guys are going to come after you now, so you have to be properly trained to defend yourself, so no matter what we call ourselves we’re a team now.”

“EEEEEEEE! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You won’t regret this.” Tabitha said rising up to her knees and hugging her naked companion for all she was worth. “What if my power keeps stripping you naked though?”

“That is one of the things we will work on.” Richie assured her. “You remember TechWitch the girl my age that worked with me and TechKnight right?”

“Uh yeah! How many times do I have to tell you I was your biggest fan girl?”

“Right, well when TechKnight was training us her control over the nanites was much greater than mine. One time while we were sparring, she even took control of my nanites and accidentally stripped me naked. TechKnight seeing this then did what any father figure would do, he **** TechWitch to strip me naked every time we sparred until I could stop her from doing it. Then he looked for any other of my friends who could exploit other weaknesses and strip me naked with their powers and then he made them do that to me every time until I could overcome their powers to. We just need to do the same thing in reverse with you until you get it under control so that I never end up naked in actual combat again.”

“Wait how many more heroes had powers that could strip you naked?”

“Just Golden Girl who could electro-magnetically disrupt my nanites and Warrior Princess when she used her soul knives to psychically break my connection with my armor.”

“That makes three not including me and if the younger versions could do it, I am sure Warrior Queen and Metalic Man could do it too. If so, many different heroes can strip you naked, how is it you were never stripped naked in battle before the end of the Justice Warriors?” Tabitha asked perplexed. “And seriously if all those women have seen your little Richie, why won't you let me see it?”

“It’s not little and the whole point of my story was I overcame each of their powers and we will learn to control your powers too.”

“I’m not so sure about that.” Can you check again, is the coast clear?” Tabitha asked for what seemed to Richie like the fiftieth time.

“Hey, wait a minute...I think they are actually gone now. Yes, I confirmed it the coast is clear!” Richie said triumphantly as he melted away their tent and reformed his armor around his body.

“Perfect timing, I have plenty of time to get home and even make a little errand before going home and getting ready for school.” Tabitha said as a portal opened up in front of her. “Oh, sure when we needed a portal before none would open but now here, we go.”

“Are you sure it will take you where you want to go if you can’t control them?” Richie said concerned.

“Sure, I mean like at least 60% sure.”

“That isn’t very good odds.” Richie said shocked.

“Sure, it is smile!” Tabitha said as she took a photo with her camera that she had separated from her suit once again.”

“You can’t see me smile through my helmet.” Richie said half mockingly.

“Are you sure!” Tabitha said triumphantly as she switched to video. “Gotcha!”

“What do you mean?” Richie asked confused.

“I mean I win, big boy.” Tabitha said and then pointed down at Richie’s penis laughing.

Richie looked down at what should have been his armor covered crotch only to see that Twist had used her powers to somehow make his whole armor go completely invisible fully exposing Richie’s naked body and more specifically his naked penis to Tabitha. “Ha ha very funny. Congratulations, now you can at least stop obsessing about it.” Richie said making no move to cover himself. Tabitha had seen him, now there was no point to fighting it any longer.

“Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that big boy.” Tabitha said with a wink. “Your not so little boo there is definitely worth obsessing about.”

“Tell me you did not just give my penis a nick name!” Richie said blushing from head to toe.

“You bet your boo I did hot buns or should I call them your ha ha’s. Your boo and ha ha’s and how about ro ro’s for your balls.” Tabitha teased.

“Twist!” Richie yelled threateningly.”

“Don’t get your ro ro’s in a bunch, boss man I’m out of here. Catch your boo and ha ha’s later.” Tabitha said as she jumped through the portal laughing her head off. Richie looked down and was relieved to see his armor was visible again. He formed a grappling hook and shot it up to the roof of the building next to him. He ascended ready to head home and sleep and relieved that that was over not realizing that the seat of his pants was still invisible and that his buttocks were completely exposed.
