Saved by the stray cat...

Trying to fight against the invisible braces keeping her floating a foot off the ground, Susan found herself powerless to even budge at her own powers used against her. All around her, her friends and loved ones were bound overhead like trophies while her multi-dimensional copies were driven insane by the hate monger, so filled with rage and insanity they were screaming like caged birds. It was a nightmare! Not in her wildest dreams did she think this could ever happen. Seeing the bloody and broken man that was her husband hanging suspended with his head down and a bloody lip brought tears to her eyes, something that didn’t go unnoticed when Malice approached her and traced a gloved hand under her eye to wipe the tear away.

“D’aww… Don’t fret sister, SHE went easy on him.” Chuckled the woman as she watched the Invisible Woman pull her head away from the gloved hand in disgust in her eyes. “You should see what I did to MY Reed, the insufferable sack of meat was always a bane of my existence, so much so I had no use for his BONES after I striped the flesh off of them.”

Scowling back at the leather clad woman, Malice smiled back at Susan’s hatred for her, soaking in her contempt and rage.

“Oooh, I LOVE that look, it tells me that deep down inside, there’s a little bit of ME in there…” Turning around, Malice joined the Vampire and Dictator, admiring their personal trophies hanging overhead. Susan’s direct loved ones were frozen in place crying out in panic, beaten **** like Ben, Johnny, and Reed, or driven insane with rage like the other Susans held up in place.

“Such a lovely sight, would you not agree?” Purred Susan Von Doom, looking up their prisoners.

“Oh yes, all of the worst thorns in our sides perfectly contained in the palm of… Hmm.” Folding her arms in front of her and tapping her lip, the vampire looked across their prisoners and narrowed her red eyes. “We’re missing one.”

“Oh?” Asked Von Doom, letting her mask unfold and retract behind her head to let down her flowing blonde hair and pulled back her hood, looking up at their prizes. “Which one?”

“The one you forgot to pay in full!” A blast of solid **** knocked the three women off their feet, causing them to lose their concentration and free their prisoners who all collapsed to the ground in a heap or tried to get their footing in the chaos. The ones driven insane quickly found themselves in bubbles of solid light they struggled to break free of, screaming and clawing at their prisons as the perpetrator revealed herself. Wearing a full body latex suit in the style of a cat

Falling to the ground and free of the solid light bindings that kept her bound, Susan looked up to find the latex wearing cat-burglar of herself keeping the victims of Malice’s hate monger at bay as she looked over her shoulder down at the prone woman. “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET OUT OF HERE!”

Getting to her feet and trying to reach Reed on the ground, her hand recoiled with a blade of pure shadow cutting between him and her hand. The blade quickly became a wall that separated her from her still awake children who pounded their fists against the shadow barrier calling for their mother for help. Looking up, she found the vampire already up to her feet and giving off a hiss better found from a viper, as the same darkness pooled and shot out from the shadow under her feet. The cat-burglar using her own powers of invisible light to counter the solid shadows trying to stop their escape. The model and former sex **** managed to get to their feet and ran towards the Invisible Woman, seeing the Cat-burglar one last time who called out to them to flee just as Malice and Von Doom got back up to their feet.

“INSOLENT BITCH! DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE GIVEN LENIENCY?!”

Very quickly the fight became three against one, where Susan led the other versions of herself out of the building and tried to escape all while a huge battle raged in the lab. Getting to the hanger, the model was in tears of fright and her other sister was faring no better, running into the Fantasticar and setting the controls to turn the vehicle on and make their escape.

“What about the others?” Worried one of the women behind her, strapping themselves in just as the vehicle hovered off the pad and turned to make an exit. Ignoring both their questions and please, Susan slammed her foot to the accelerator and flew out of the landing pad. Minutes passed and Susan managed to get far enough and high enough over the city to keep them above the clouds. “WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?!”

“BE QUIET!” Screamed Susan, beside herself as she spun back in the driver’s seat and need a moment to collect herself. “We can’t go back! Not right now… We’d never be able to stand up to them let alone save everyone.”

Silent save for the coughed whimpers from the other two women, the trio were at a loss for ideas on how to stop the three back at the Baxtor Building doing who knew what to their loved ones and friends. Crossing her arms and letting her shaking hand drape over her face, Susan remembered back from two days ago.

“Fury! We have to go to Fury, I’m not sure the Avengers can help, but they’re the only ones I can think of who can take on me on my worst day.” Turning back around in her chair, Susan set the controls and turned the Fantasticar to head out into the bay, hoping to find the SHIELD Helicarrier and with it, help.
