Coming home, coming clean.

A shimmer of light glowed over the clearing of the African jungle, the sound of songbirds overhead as the glow took shape and became the astral projection of Doctor Stephen Strange, hovering in the air with his legs crossed and a collection of books orbiting his projection. “Good news! I think I may have found a way of draining out the excess energies in your system; it will require a couple hours of incantations to do but…” Looking up from the three books hovering around him, the Sorcerer Supreme looked around to find the group of succubae had all shrunk back down to their normal heights and figures, all huddled around the glowing projection of the man with a mixed look of boredom and impatience. A far cry from the 15 to 20-foot-tall monsters they were the last time he saw them.

“Oh… Okay… Well then, guess you solved it without me.” Closing the book in his hand shut, Doctor Strange waved the books away and looked around.

“So, where’s Susan?”

“Up here!” Called out the woman’s voice overhead. Looking up, the Doctor was pleasantly surprised to find Susan flying over their heads, but instead of using her powers to create a platform of solid light, the blue succubus was flying under her own power with her new wings. Circling the group, with the widest smile on her lips, Susan flapped her wings and hovered on the spot before gracefully landing in front of the astral projection, her wings folding up behind her. Catching her breath from all the excitement, Susan wiped her silver hair out of her eyes and stood before the man, with a hand at her ample hip.

“My goodness Susan, you look so… So…” The man tried to explain, averting his eyes as she was still very much still in the buff, but without any clothing and since everyone else was naked, Susan didn’t quite care. “Slim?”

“Angelic.”

Snorting and waving her hand at the sorcerer, Susan rolled her eyes, her wings fluttering at the compliment after she crossed her arms.

“So how DID you flush out all that essence? There had to have been tens of thousands of souls worth of sexual energy.”

“Well… I hugged a tree and poured everything I could spare into it, we all did.”

Muttering in the affirmative, the rest of the blue skinned succubae surrounding the Sorcerer nodded, some even mimicking the act for full disclosure. Nodding and making a face that he was impressed, Strange crossed his arms and smiled. “That’s a lot of energy, I kind of wonder what kind of effect that has on wildlife when its distributed that way…”

Suddenly the ground began to quake all around, startling the demon women as they looked around to find the source of the tremors. Right before their eyes the plants and trees began to grow, RAPIDLY! Putting bamboo to shame, saplings quickly sprouted from the Earth and reached up from the ground at a speed of a meter a minute, their leaves branching out like they were animate and reaching higher by the second. Smaller plants practically exploded with growth, going from small shrubs to full blown bushes within seconds. Even the dead trees began to come back to life! With moss spreading over their bark once new branches broke free and reached up into the sky.

Waving his hands and muttering an incantation, Doctor Strange created a portal for Susan and the others to go through. “EVERYONE INSIDE PLEASE! HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!” Running through the portal as fast as they could gather, the group of succubae found themselves in the lobby of the Sanctum Sanctorum, just as Janet was the last to cross the portal and in the nick of time when it was closed behind her to find the forest swallow up the clearing they were in.

“Are we good?” Asked Felicia, not knowing if causing a forest to explode with growth was a good or bad thing.

“Maybe… But I wouldn’t be surprised if the news says the Congo got bigger…”

Turning his attention back to the group of succubae in the room, Strange quickly realised AGAIN they were all naked and waved his hand, conjuring cloths for all of them to wear. Looking down Janet turned and looked down at the plain yellow sundress she found herself in, shaking her head as the garment left nothing to the imagination with her Amazonian physique and curves. “Really? Seems simplistic isn’t it?”

“I’m a sorcerer Miss Van Dyne, not a fashion mogul, that’s your expertise.”

“Uhm… Speaking of fashion…” Turning their attention to where Cleo pointed to the new additions to the group, it took all of Mary Jane’s willpower not to laugh when she found the sons of Susan, Janet and Jen all wearing dresses, looking down at the garments in confusion. “Ooops.” Snapping his fingers, the fourteen blue skinned incubi found themselves wearing simple slacks and button shirts. For the most part they looked just like their parents… In the regard they had blue skin, horns, a tail and cloven feet, but they were also built tall and strong, Sporting lean and wiry physiques and handsome faces. But although they were physically attractive, they were not very intelligent, still looking down in confusion at their cloths, even having one sniff at the cuff of his shirt and lick at the buttons. Watching their behaviour, Doctor Strange leaned over to Susan and whispered. “Not too bright, aren’t they?”

“They’re my kids Strange!... Besides, they were literally born yesterday.”

Blinking in surprise, Strange looked back at one of the incubi sniffing at his shirt and tugging at the collar, a look of anxiety on the demon’s face. “Ah, perhaps I can help with some of that.” Moving up towards the demon man, Doctor Strange closed his eyes and muttered an incantation, his fingers glowing brightly until he tapped the man on the forehead. Rearing back and clutching his horned head, the incubus groaned until his voice began to form words. “Fffoooooouuuuuuck! What a headache…” Looking up and around, the blue skinned demon found his brothers and parents looking back at him, surprised and confused. “What?”

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, might I introduce to you all the knowledge charm, capable of giving your child a grade 12 education with a flick of my finger, any desires for HIGHER education will of course cost extra.”

Later at the Baxter building...

Stepping through the front door of her home in her human form, wearing a copy of the jogging cloths she left her apartment in and closing the door behind her, Susan Storm sighed and smiled when she found her entire family leap from the couch and run to her. “MOM!” Called out Val And Franklin, running up to hug their mother at the door, followed by Johnny and Ben who waited for the kids to move aside to give hugs of their own. “Geez sis, you had us worried there.”

Yeah Suzie, where'd you go last night?” Calming down her children at her legs and trying to come up with an answer, the woman found her husband cross the hall and join them all, hugging his wife a little bit longer than Susan had expected. Hearing the man whisper that he was deathly worried for her.

“Well, I got sidetracked and ended up somewhere I shouldn’t have, and I guess I forgot my phone here, didn’t I?” Still holding onto her hands in his, Reed looked up to his wife pleadingly and pulled her with him towards the bedroom. “Susan… Can I have a word with you?” Seeing the worry in his eyes, Susan nodded and joined him, closing the door behind her as Reed turned and sat on the bed, a look of fatigue and confusion on his face.

“Susan… I know you’ve been keeping secrets from me, I’m not sure what kind of trouble you’ve been in, but I want you to know I can never be angry with you, please just tell me the truth.”

Closing her eyes and breathing in sharply, Susan nodded. “Alright honey, you deserve that.”

Spreading out her arms and shaking her shoes off her feet, Susan closed her eyes and transformed before her husband’s eyes. Her feet grew at the arches, and her toes merging into a pair of cloven hooves. Her skin took on a sky blue tint as a tail pushed its way out from above the hem of her shorts and extend out until it coiled around her legs. Her physique became more pronounced, taking on a more athletic muscle tone and more curvaceous figure with her hips becoming wider and her sport’s top groan from her breasts growing 3 cups larger. Becoming almost 7 feet tall. Lolling her head and sighing, her hair turned silver and grew out until it reached her lower back, with three sets of horns growing out from her skull, a combination of cattle, antelope and ram’s horns now framing her beautiful face. Taken back Reed was still in for a shock when a pair of dove white wings sprouted from her back and spread out to fill the entire wall of the bedroom before closing behind her. Opening her eyes, Susan’s irises gave off a warm golden glow.

“Reed, I’m a succubus, I’ve been a succubus for several months now, I feed off the lusts of men and women to sustain me, b-but I USE that energy, that essence to help and heal others… Please don’t be mad.” Folding her hands in front of her, Susan waited on his response.

Stunned silent, Reed pulled out the business card out of his pocket, his eyes never leaving the stunning demonic beauty looking down at him pleadingly. “I was going to ask you about this…”

“Oh… OH! Uhm… Surprise?” She shrugged, smiled with her fanged teeth.
