Sue Richards (Invisible Woman) has dinner with Blastaar the alien king!

Sue stared back at Blastaar with a look of defiance and arrogance. She felt above Blastaar, but a dark curiousity crept into her mood. She wanted to find out more about this powerful being at the table with her. " What do you want with me?"

"It's simple," Blastaar said. " I want you to be my bride. We'll rule this planet together."

A strange rush of power went through her. Sue was surprised that the offer of power over an entire world would excite her, but she was starting to like the idea. " But I'd have to marry you. I won't."

Blastaar ushered to a servant with his hand. " Don't rush such a decision. Let's talk about it. My chef has prepared some wonderful food." Sue was presented with a plate of some food she didn't recognize, and a goblet of bright red wine was placed beside her plate. " Enjoy."

Sue crossed her arms and just stared at the food. Blastaar dug into his food and gave Sue another look that disturbed her. More and more, her hate for Blastaar was giving way to her dark side. She could be a queen. Maybe is wouldn't be so bad marrying him. The next thing that came to her attention was the smell of the food.

Cautiously, Susan Richards took the goblet of oddly bright red wine and sipped it. It was, simply put, delicious. She'd always thought Blastar too much of a brute to try anything really sneaky, and he seemed to be drinking the same thing so she doubted it would do anything.

She was wrong, of course.

As Sue drank the wine her mind began to swirl. Images of her former life passed through her mind, followed by the images of her future as Queen of Blastaar's kingdom. Never before had such power been offered to her. Never before had she seen the possibilities within her. She saw herself beside Blastaar. An image that at first disgusted her. But now, the dress brought out her evil desires, and she saw herself ruling. And ruling cruelly.

Blastaar notices his prizes eyes roll into the back of her head. He smiled. The wine and the dress were taking hold. Soon it would be permanent. With that, a servant came into the hall. "An emissary from Annihilus wishes to speak with you, my lord."

Before Blastaar could answer, the once kind and gentle invisible woman spoke first. "Can you not see we are eating worm." The servant bowed. "I am sorry." Sue turned quickly "You will be if you do not leave."

With that Sue and Blastaar ate their food. It tasted exquisite to Sue. Her mind began to slip further, and soon she found herself walking the halls of the castle beside the brute Blastaar. They came to a balcony overlooking the courtyard of the main Baluuran city. Below them, grey humanoid subjects moved to and fro trying their best to do their jobs to please Blastaar. "All this can be yours," he told her.

She looked out upon the subjects, the wine, and dress taking effect. Blastaar put an arm around her waist. He spoke sternly. "This and so much more. If you accept me as your mate, husband, and King we will conquer this and every universe together."

Something dark began to form deep inside Sue. She knew her husband was somewhere on Earth. Knew she was a hero who promised to protect the innocent. But yet she turned to Blastaar and said.....
