Livewire

Panic filled the park as dozens of people fled for their lives, the park entrances were all blocked off by the local authorities and police stood armed and ready for anything. Anything except a bolt of lightning casting out from the trees and striking the police cruiser they hid behind, causing an explosion that send the pair of officers tumbling to the ground as their cruiser went up in flames and smoke. More lightning fired out in different directions, forcing the police and everyone else to flee to better cover.

Hovering off the ground with static charge flicking off her feet to keep her aloft, Livewire laughed as she charged electricity through her hands and out across the park, causing lamp posts to explode from the overcharge and small fires to erupt in the grass and shrubs.

“Come on Oooout Missy!” She called out playfully, zapping anything that moved with her electrical powers and giggling to herself at the reaction. She had been at this for 10 minutes and so far, she was starting to get impatient already. “If you don’t come out of hiding in the next five seconds, I’m going to turn my attention on those stupid dweebs in the…”

Suddenly, her attention fell to a gust of wind, and a chill in the air as the fires she caused suddenly went out. Shielding her eyes from the turbulence, her smile grew from ear to ear when she spotted the Man of Steel stop in mid air in front of her with his arms crossed.

“That’s enough Livewire. Why did you call me out like this?”

“You?!” Snorting and covering her face to hide her laughter, the pale woman wrung her hands together in glee at the prospect. “You think I did all of this to get YOUR attention?” Eyeing the man up and down, a gleeful idea spun through her head, just as she reached behind her for her little edge in the fight.

“You know what? Sure, you CAUGHT me, you big ol blue boy scout you. I think someone deserves a surprise.”

Pointing her hand at the man, an arc of lightning shot out between her fingers and zapped the floating Kryptonian straight to the chest. But much to her disappointment, he barely shrugged to over a million volts of electricity coursing around his body like a lightning rod.

“Come on Livewire, we’ve been down this road before, just give up and no harm will come to you.”

“Yeah… Maybe… But I’ve got an edge this time.” Pointing with her other hand, she gripped the kryptonite between her fingers and channeled her electricity through it like a lens. Green lightning struck out against Superman and this time, he felt it.

Crying out in pain and tumbling to the ground like a stone, Superman was pushed back by the intense bolt of green electricity until he struck against a bench which only made the matters worse as the metal in the framework acted like a conduit. Convulsing and twitching in agony, Superman gasped and coughed, barely strong enough to stagger to all fours before he was blasted with green lighting again.

“OOOH YEAH! Now this I like; I might not get to find that lady I’m looking for but putting you in an early grave will put my name on the map in this ho-hum town.”

Striking out with another bolt of green lightning, Clark cried out as the intensity of it set the bench on fire and threw him back even further until he collided into the plinth of a park statue. “Damn, that looks like it hurts big boy! Don’t worry though, this show’s nearly over.”

Bringing her hands up to create a ball of lightning through the lump of kryptonite in her possession, Clark looked up to the green glow in front of him as it intensified. Still too weak to move and fight back, he could feel his heart beating in his ears, too dizzy with vertigo to even sit up. But then Superman realised the loud thumping noise was not his heartbeat, but something coming this way. A tremor that was growing in intensity as it drew closer. Just as Livewire brought her hands out to fire a bolt of green lightning, the ground erupted from an impact of some object landing between the two. Whatever it was that intervened, absorbed the green energy like a sponge, surprising both Superman and Livewire.

With the dust of the impact clearing away, the two looked up at the woman that now stood in front of the prone Superman and faced Livewire in front of him. Wearing a dress that showed off her long-toned legs, ample chest, athletic figure, and clung to her like a second skin, Lois Lane clenched her fists and glared back at the albino woman with a serious look in her green eyes.

“You want me that bad? Well, here I am.”

Taken back slightly by the Amazonian woman staring daggers back at her, Livewire whistled out loud, impressed with the woman standing before her. Spreading her arms out to cast static electricity, the woman began to float in the air to match the woman eye to eye in height.

“Wow… Someone’s been taking their vitamins, been hitting the gym lady?”

“Keep talking and I’ll be hitting YOU!” Threatened Lois, her eyes darting between the woman’s face and the lump of kryptonite in her hand. “No one lays a hand on my husband.”

“Husband?” Leaning to the side to see Superman still recovering from the kryptonite poisoning, Livewire laughed out loud. “WOW! Aren’t you the lucky stud you, did I catch you on your anniversary? Cuz I sure as hell wouldn’t be wearing that out in public!” Mocked the woman, pointing back at Lois and her choice of attire. Seeing the dark-haired woman fume, Livewire’s grin became sadistic.

“Here, do you want a lightshow for your special day? I’ll bring the SPARKLERS!”

Firing twin arcs of kryptonite imbued lightning at the woman, Livewire laughed out loud watching Lois cross her arms to defend herself, enveloped in green tinted electricity that sparked between her arms and coursed through her body. But then something happened the woman did not expect. The dark-haired woman in the slinky red dress should have been screaming in agony, her body twitching and scorched with electrical burns and her hair catching fire. Instead, it was like her entire body was a super conductor. No matter how much current coursed through her, she drained it all completely, the villainess even felt the electricity she poured into the kryptonite nugget being pulled from her and drawn into Lois. What was worse was the red dress wearing amazon seemed to be getting bigger!

The dress she wore creaked and groaned audibly as stitching popped and split. The hem at her thighs split open to free her burgeoning hips and the top button in the v-cut popped off and the straps threatened to rip. Finding herself slowly hovering towards her, Livewire tried to will herself back as more kryptonite tinted lighting danced from her fingers, only to be absorbed by Lois. In panic, the villainess stopped her attack and stumbled back when her feet finally landed on terra firma. Breathing hard and shivering from the sensation, Lois looked up to the confused pale woman with green eyes that looked to be glowing.

Taking a heavy step forward, the act made Livewire step back to match as she met the wild-eyed gaze of the amazon woman, her smile was manic and her sharp, heavy breathing seemed far less out of exhaustion and more out of excitement. Breathing through flaring nostrils, the next few words out of Lois’s lips caused a chill to go down Livewire’s back.

“More…”
