Achievements beget vanity.

“Yeah… I gotta tell ya girl, you ain’t all that.” Complained the man, looking over the Asian woman with her coat splayed open to show off her cocktail dress underneath. Her clothes both dirty and spoiled from being out in the weather for too long. “I’ll give you $20 for the blowjob but I ain’t touching the rest.”

“How DARE you! I’ll have you know my skills are unmatched!” Hissed Christie Chang, pointing an accusing finger at the man she was propositioning in the alley. The last few days had been hard on the former succubus. Being able to keep herself fed and sheltered became increasingly difficult for her, and the fact she was a total bitch lent her no favours either. “You will agree to this deal or I will take my payment with her gouged out eyes!”

Instantly folding the money back into his pocket, the man shrugged and left. “Fuck it, ya lost a customer bitch.”

Fuming as she watched the man leave the alley and turn to join the crowd of pedestrians go on their way, Christie screamed and rage. “INSOLENT PEASANT! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?”

Granted, nobody knew who she was. If they did, they would have been a little surprised and confused. Storming deeper into the alley and sitting down between a pair of dumpsters, the woman frowned. Christie Chang wasn’t her name, but it was the name of the body she was planted into. She was Susan Storm; the Invisible Woman, but more than that, she was the part of the Invisible Woman who had shed off her kindness, love, compassion and empathy and slapped it into this woman long ago. She was a succubus under the thrall of Mephisto and was very close to becoming the RULER of Earth. Then it all went terribly wrong, and she found herself switching places with her ‘better’ half. Now she was stuck out in the alleys turning tricks to pay for liquor while that goody two-shoes lives it up in HER body with HER powers!

“Just you wait, I WILL reclaim my body, I WILL reclaim my POWERS! And when I do, I’ll stick you in a body MORE short-lived then this worthless husk… Perhaps a rat? Yes, I hear the homeless out in these streets eat them on a stick… Yes, you’ll see.”

Mephisto was not pleased.

Things had only gotten worse over the last two weeks, and colder. The damage being inflicted by Susan Storm was becoming more obvious by the day as the temperature dropped from a Hellish 1500 degrees to a lukewarm 1100 degrees. What’s worse, he had sent one of the most powerful incubi to fix the mess and discovered he had been KILLED by the woman but not before she took everything he had. Now there was a blank spot in the second circle of Hell that belong to the former Dominator, and the other lords of Lust were bickering over the now empty property. Last he heard Erebus the Excessive and Salizar the Sadomasochist were fighting over the property now… And the less he knew how that was going the better.

“My, my liege, how tragic it is to see you in such troubled times.” Purred a feminine voice, one smooth as honey with an air of condescension. The space filled with the sound of serpentine coils slithering into Mephisto’s chambered.

Looking up, the demon lord’s frown lessened. “You know why I have summoned you here?”

“Why yes, I heard that a woman on Earth is giving you trouble? Even claimed the Dominator! Impressive, I would VERY much like to meet her.”

“And that is why I am sending you up to deal with that witch.”

With a purr of laughter, the serpentine creature slithered closer, bowing her head and splaying out her four hands gracefully. Revealing she wore rings, bracelets and necklaces of precious metals and gems to match the emerald, sapphire and ruby of her scales. “Oh, you have no fear of my failure my liege, I shall do to her as I have done to so many doomed rulers before her; she will know opulence, power, GLORY! Her pride will grow so great it will no longer be contained in any palace she would reside in…Only for her achievements to shatter in her grasp and her victories spoiled, and like so many of my works of art she will just be yet another tragedy.”

“Then it pleases me that I chose you; Vallar the Vainglorious but be warned.” Standing from his throne and clutching his robes tightly, Mephisto descended the steps so he could look the Pride demon in the eye. “You deal with a woman who has defeated the Dominator; a demon lord fueled by sexual aggression and sadism, one who has spent centuries in the art of breaking the wills of women, this Susan Storm defeated and destroyed him overnight! Be cautious, for there is no depths to the limits of this woman’s cruelty or malice!”

“WHO WANTS FRIED CHICKEN?” Called out Susan in a sing-song voice to her staff, carrying buckets worth of deep-fried chicken in either hand as the succubae in her lounge cheered at the announcement. Flocking around the blonde woman pawing at the food she brought. The recreational room in the office was quite spacious; with several seated tables, some vending machines and a large L-shaped couch with a wide screen television. Wearing a pair of extra-large sweatpants and a baggy sweater, Susan set up the spread of food and stepped back as a gaggle of blue horned women piled in and practically dove into the buckets like hungry cats.

Chuckling to herself and scratching her hair loose of the bun she had it tied in, she sighed and allowed herself to take her other form, her body surging in height and strength as her muscles throbbed larger. Growing to over 8 feet tall, Susan’s curves flared wider and larger. Her sweatpants going skin-tight to contain her muscular ankles and thighs, the fabric protesting to contain her apple bottom rear and wide hips. Even the sweater became tight to contain her melon sized breasts, riding up to expose her back and narrow midriff where her abdominal muscles were on full display, leaving a space at the hem to show off her cleavage. Lastly her skin turned sky blue and two pairs of horns sprouted from her brow to arch and frame her face while her platinum hair grew wild and draped down her backside. “Sigh… Starting to enjoy that more.”

Making herself a plate, the giantess of a woman moved to sit heavily over to the couch where she spotted three of her harem sitting on the floor watching Ocean’s Eleven, pawing at the screen whenever George Clooney or Brad Pitt came on the screen. It had been a couple of days since their first test out in the public and so far, Susan beamed with pride that each and every one of them had turned a shade of sky blue or violet as a result of them using the essence they take during their jobs and giving it freely to people of need. Although some still had splotches of red, the woman shrugged. After all, she didn’t end up like some big blue sex goddess over night. “Sorry girls, I wanna check the news really quick.”

Hearing the succubae pout, Susan smirked and rolled her eyes before changing the channel to the local news. Finding what she was looking for, Susan waved everyone over. “Hey, everyone! Look at this.”

Jennifer, Janet, Felicia and Mary Jane joined in surrounding the couch as the rest of the harem looked up at the newscast showing the pharmaceutical company they were hired to over the weekend. “Oh hey, LOOK, its that guy we turned into a bearded beefcake.”

Watching the screen, the news reporters asked questions to the flashes of cameras while Mr. Peters stood before a podium in front of the company. “I’d like to announce that due to health issues, most of our CEOs are no longer capable of making decisions and I have been left to lead the company.” While more questions rained in, the man waved his hand so he could continue. “The first thing we’re doing is a massive rehiring of our staff, the second is a significant change in the price of our medications and treatments to be more affordable to patients across the country.”

“Aww FUCK I want him.” Husked Felicia, licking her lips and gripping the corner of the couch like a lifeline. “Honestly girls, you really know how to build up studs, don’t you.” Even Susan had to admit the same as she squirmed in her seat, her heart fluttering at the formally old man, her harem having given the man a total makeover into a tall, strong, handsome hunk of a man.

“Before I end the questionnaire, I also commissioned a statue for our main lobby, a testament to the inspiration that encouraged our company to take the new direction it has today.” Waving over to the center of the lobby, two people pulled away the cloth over a statue. The cameras flashed with intensity with the reveal of a polished blue marble statue of a beautiful woman in repose, her figure both curvaceous and powerful holding a vase in her lap, pouring water into a fountain ring around its podium where it sat. The most prominent feature was her massive set of demonic horns and a halo made of solid silver.

Watching the screen and covering her face with both hands to cover the indigo blush on her face, the rest of her staff giggled and laughed.

“WOW Suzie! It’s soooo life like… Don’t remember you having a halo though.”

“Shut up Jen…”
