End: Atlantis

Water. Endless expanses of it. Strange creatures of the deep, tossed up by the storm. Bloated and distended from the pressure change. There was a bubble around her face. Her body stiff, frozen to the core. She welcomed the numbness it brought, the surcease from pain. Even carrying her, Aquaman cut through the dark depths with ease. This was his world, and Lois Lane closed her eyes and let the darkness take her.

No time passes, when you surrender to the depths.

No dreams. Nothing.

As if you had never been.

As if you will never be again.

Life is as a dream, ephemeral, forgotten.

Was there ever such a person as...

"Lois Lane?"

The reporter's eyes opened. She woke like a cat, all at once. No grogginess, no slow journey to wakefulness. One moment she was nothing, and the next she was here, awake...and starting at red hair framed by a golden tiara shaped like a starfish.

The woman smiled. "I am Mera, Queen of Atlantis. How do you feel?"

The room was made of milky white marvel shot through with veins of silver. Columns with a Grecian aspect rose up to an oddly curved ceiling; their were little carven motifs that reminded Lois of coal and seaweed. She found herself naked in a bed like a great golden clamshell, floating on a pool of water...warm water. It reminded Lois of the one time she had gone to the Dead Sea. That same strange buoyancy. Through an open archway she could see Superman speaking with Aquaman. Lois stared down at her nude form...

There were stretch marks on her abdomen. It still looked saggy and puffy from her recent ordeal...but also oddly swollen. Lois frowned ruefully at the state of her ruined body...but there wasn't much pain. Just an odd tenderness. She said as much.

"The excess skin will be removed...and we have medicines based on certain seaweeds which will heal you without scars," Mera said. One pale hand slid over the reporter's brow. "Unfortunately, your ordeal is...not quite over."

Lois frowned, and opened her mouth to ask what she meant...when she felt, and saw, something squirm beneath the bulging, shapeless mass that was her abdomen.

"A few lesser starspawn were...left behind after your ****," Mera said. "I did not wish to awaken you so soon, but it is too dangerous to leave you in a coma. I'm afraid you'll have to be away for this next bit."

Superman stepped into the room. He came to the edge of the pool opposite Mera, and reached down to hold the reporter's hand. Lois gave him a weak smile.

"You know, all the times I dreamed of having you hold my hand while giving birth, I thought it would be to our kids," Lois joked. He gave her hand a little squeeze.

"We can still make those memories," he said.

"Really? Even with my body utterly ruined?" Lois raised an eyebrow. He grinned back.

"You're beautiful, Lois. Be strong."

Mera moved into the pool, between the reporter's legs, and gently spread Lois Lane's legs wider apart.

"This next part," the Queen said. "Is going to feel very weird."

She raised her hands...and Lois felt her pussy expand. Warm, briny water flooded the reporter's birth canal. Lois bit her lip and tightened her grip on Superman's hand.

"Mera has the ability to manipulate water," he said. "We discussed the procedure...I know this is going to be strange Lois, but you can do this."

"You know," Lois said. "The more people tell me that I can survive this, the less I feel like...Great Caesar's ghost!"

Many women experience it when their waters break...the amniotic fluid in their uterus letting loose as their cervix dilated. Lois Lane was now among the few women to experience that in reverse.

Before the reporter's unbelieving eyes, the loose skin of her abdomen filled out. Her abdomen began to dome as Mera **** the warm, salty water back into her womb. Lois couldn't even begin to describe the sensation of her cervix **** open by the pressure of the current....the terrible pressure building up inside of her, achingly familiar...or the terrible alien sensation of things swimming inside of her. Minute after minute, Lois watched her stomach swell like a slow-filling balloon...the slack skin growing taut as the passed what a woman might look like at full term. She groaned as the outie belly button began to stretch...the veins dark and clear on the surface.

"Does this procedure involve me popping?" Lois said, gritting her teeth as shooting pains ran through her abdomen. her cunny felt stretched to its limit, and the things inside of her were tremendously active.

"No," Mera said. "The superbrine is distressful to the starspawn. They will seek to escape, but they aren't strong enough to break through your uterus. They'll find the exit soon enough."

Lois swallowed. She looked at Superman. "I hope you have a really big penis," she said. "Because otherwise, I don't think you're even going to touch the sides."

He gave a smile. "Mera has a seaweed for that."

Lois rolled her eyes. "Of course she haaaAAAGGGH!"

Something bluish-black poured forth from the reporter's womb, cloudy like ink...and the reporter gave a strangled cry, knuckles white as she gripped superman's hand, as something squirmed and struggled down the short passage between her cervix. Their squishy, easily deformed bodies easily squeezed through her cervix, but then they expanded in her birth canal, tentacles wiggling and gripping...and then Aquaman was there, with a trident in hand, stabbing at the dark water between the reporter's legs...

It took several long minutes. Superman stared at her swollen abdomen. He said the words that every women dreads to hear.

"There's one left."

"Hmm," Mera said. "Her cervix is dilated enough, I suppose one of your big, strapping men could reach in and grab it..."

Lois gave a little mewling sound. Mera smiled and winked.

"Just kidding. I've got it."

The queen made a fist...and the water inside Lois Lane's bloated belly contracted. THe reporter coughed, eyes bulging out of her socket as with a single massive torrent, the water vacated her swollen uterus and out her distended cunt...and carried the last of the starspawn along with it. Aquaman's spear came down a final time...and then, at last, it really was over.

"If it makes you feel any better," Mera said as Lois closed her eyes to let the darkness take her again. "After this, giving birth should be a snap."

Which were not words Lois Lane had ever expected to hear on her night out...but there were worse ways to end a night, than naked and holding Superman's hand.
