Gamma-Irradiated Saline Infusion

"Susan, are you sure you want to do this?" Reed Richards asked his wife. "I know you asked for this, and according to the calculations it should be safe, but I really have to tell you there's nothing wrong with the size of your breasts?"

"Reed? Darling?" Sue Storm said as she settled her bare shoulders against the back of the chair. "Please. Just infuse me with the radioactive saline, okay?"

They were in Reed's lab. Sue sat in a padded metal chair. She had stripped off her top and bra. Her husband, in his costume and labcoat, had forgotten to turn up the heat, so goosebumps prickled her skin, and the Invisible Woman's dark nipples were stiff and swollen.

At least, she told herself that's why they were rock-hard.

The saline infusion was a clear, translucent, light green liquid. Two IV bags of it hung on metal hooks on either side of her. Reed, his hands already covered in disposable surgical gloves, wiped down the top of his wife's breasts with an **** pad.

"According to Bruce Banner, this is a safe and effective means of temporary breast enhancement," he said. "I'm going to insert a needle into each breast, and the gamma-irradiated saline is going to slowly infuse your tissues. Your body will absorb the excess liquid and cause temporary swelling; the gamma irradiation should strengthen your pectoral muscles and make them more...perky."

He seemed flummoxed at the unscientific term, but recovered himself as he disposed of the **** pad and continued.

"Some slight discoloration may be expected. There is a slight possibility of side effects, including persistent swelling, but you should not expect any permanent growth. The infusion should result in equal swelling but there is a possibility of...well, you might end up lopsided."

"Do it," Sue said firmly.

Carefully, Reed pressed the needles beneath her skin, and taped them down. The Invisible Woman endured the slight pain without complaint. She stared straight ahead, where Reed had set up a mirror where she could see herself.

Then he turned the taps and the pale green liquid moved down the tubes. Sue braced herself—yet all she felt as the liquid entered her body was a spreading coolness.

It took about thirty minutes. Sue's eyes were locked on the mirror, even as she felt the radioactive liquid fill her breasts. It wasn't like a pair of balloons filling up with water. Rather, it was like watching her breasts fill out during pregnancy. She felt the sense of fullness before she saw any visual change. Like when she had been lactating. That constant pressure that grew and grew. Then she could see it, slowly but surely, the way her breasts filled out.

She gripped the arms of her chair, not out of pain, but out of excitement. Her pale breasts did take on a slight green tint, but more importantly her skin grew taut, swollen bigger. Sue could actually feel her muscles tighten as her breasts seemed to defy gravity, the little sag disappeared as they lifted up, the nipples pushed out.

Yet the growth stopped. The IV bags were empty. Sue Storm's breasts were notably swollen, she could feel the flesh bloated, like when her tits were overfull and in need of having her milk expressed. But they weren't that much bigger. Her 34C's might have become DD's. Which a few weeks ago, would have been impressive. Now, however, she said:

"Is that it?"

Reed frowned. Licked his lips.

"Well...no. You should feel a bit of a tingle as the gamma radiation causes secondary growth," he said.

Which is when Sue Storm felt it. The burn, inside her inflated tits. Like a sunburn from inside. Expectantly, she stared at the mirror.
