Porkum Catches Sue Storm Unawares

Porkum's snout twitched. He paused in his incessant work and lifted his head to sniff the air. The smell was faint, but distinct. Pussy. And there was only one woman likely to find his little hideout. The pigman grinned as he stood up and waddled out of the bathroom. He wanted to prepare a proper welcome for the Invisible Woman.

Silent and invisible, the Invisible Woman crept through the former pork processing plant. She didn't dare use your "invisi-vision" again, for fear of letting Porkum know she was here, but she had memorized the layout of the plant from the blueprints. Even though it had been remodeled, she had a good idea of where Porkum was...and Sue stalked toward her prey.

She took the stairs downstairs, so as not to alert Porkum by using the elevator. It was dark at the bottom of the stairwell, and Sue used her powers for a moment to check for alarms or cameras around the door to the basement. There were none that she could see—but the Invisible Woman took no chances, and used an invisible hand to open the door.

The space beyond was almost perfectly dark. Only a pale yellow light, far from the door to the stairwell, provided any light. Sue grimaced, and wished that she could see in the dark. She could make part of the ceiling invisible and let light shine in that way, but that would be tantamount to revealing she was here. With a silent prayer, the Invisible Woman limped into the darkened room.

She stood there for a while, to let her eyes adjust to the dim yellow light up ahead. Shadows hid most of the room she was in, but it seemed to be an immense kitchen. There was the overpowering scent of chocolate, and something else—something that made Sue Storm's mouth water and pussy clench involuntarily. In the dark, she inhaled and exhaled slowly, three long breaths. Nothing moved. With infinite stealth, she slid forward on an invisible platform, toward the light.

It was a sickly yellow light that did little to illumine the darkness, and only gave shape and depth to the shadows. Sue passed counters, ovens, industrial mixing bowls, and monolithic refrigerators whose chrome shells gleamed like dirty gold. The nearer she drew to the source of the light, the more aware Sue was of a sense of apprehension. The hairs stood up on the back of her neck, her wounded leg throbbed. Yet she couldn't see or hear anything untoward. There was no sign of life, not even a rat or a roach.

She was within a few strides of the light source when she realized what it was. A gigantic yellow crystal, amost transparent, on a kind of transparent plinth. The crystal gave off that sickly yellow luminescence in the dark. Sue swallowed hard as she recognized it for what it was. The same kind of crystal that had hit her that day in Central Park. That was proof that there was some connection with Porkum. Proof that she had been victim of some dastardly plot!

Sue wavered in place, suddenly indecisive about what she should do. Retreat? Porkum would escape. Take him and the crystal into custody? That might be the safest action, but could be tricky. She hadn't been prepared for this. The small shard of that radioactive crystal had speared right through Sue's **** field. The heroine remembered the agony and blood as she went down. She had never felt so helpless, unable to concentrate due to the pain. Even now her heart thundered in her breast as she thought of it.

Then the Invisible Woman looked down and saw that, in that yellow light, she could see herself. The crystal was somehow negating her powers!

And if I can see me, Sue thought wildly as her pulse beat in her ears and a cold sweat broke out, so can Porkum...

For a fat man, Porkum could move quietly when he had to. It helped that Sue was distracted, disoriented, and facing the other way. One rough shove to the middle of her back sent the Invisible Woman sprawling until she crashed against the pedastal that held the crystal. Porkum grinned as he pressed a button. Around the crystal, low-grade adamantium bars shot up from the floor, straight to the ceiling. As Susan Storm recovered herself from her stumble, she stared at the naked villain who grinned devilishly in the pale light of the Defraudium.

Automatically, Sue raised her hand. She willed an invisible battering ram to smash the pig-man in his face.

A spike of pain went through Sue's skull...but nothing happened.

Porkum grunted. His left hand idly began to stroke something at waist height. Sue grimaced in disgust as she recognized the elephant-trunk-like pink hose that hung off the naked mutant was his own grotesquely elongated penis.

"Welcome," Porkum said. "I've been wanting to meet you. From the moment I first saw you."

His small, dark eyes glimmered as they reflected the yellow light of the Defraudium.

"We're going to have a lot of fun."
