Sue Storm Finds Herself Being Flirty

"You're looking well, Susan," Dr. Stone said as they took their seats.

"You're not looking so bad yourself," Sue Storm shot back.

The two blonde women smiled at each other. Sue wore a white blouse over her Fantastic Four uniform, hair tousled, just a hint of makeup. Dr. Stone was dressed more formally, a tight grey sweater with a deep v-shaped neckline which, with a push-up bra, gave her an amazing amount of cleavage; the black pencil skirt, two-inch heels, glasses, and hair up in a bun added to the "hot for teacher" appearance.

"Sleeping well?" Dr. Stone said.

"Lonely nights," Sue admitted. "Reed has been in the lab, working on his own version of the negabands or something. I'll bet you don't have that problem."

Dr. Stone raised an eyebrow, her lips turned up at the corners.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" the psychiatrist asked.

"Oh come now, doctor. You're young, single, beautiful—I'm sure you could have any man or woman you want in your bed every night," Sue said.

The Invisible Woman wasn't sure where this was coming from. Jealousy, perhaps; or frustration at her inability to achieve any sexual release all week. Or maybe it was just seeing in Dr. Stone the path not taken: to be single, no kids, no spouse, able to pursue sex freely—Sue hadn't really ever had that. She had gone straight from university to superheroine to wife and mother.

"Does that bother you?" Dr. Stone said as she crossed her long legs, the nylon of her stockings sliding against each other. "The idea of someone being sexually promiscuous?"

"No, of course not," Sue said. "I suppose I'm just—a little jealous. Being a superheroine, a wife, a mother has its rewards, but satisfying orgasms isn't one of them."

The blonde heroine paused, not sure if she'd shared too much. Except Dr. Stone smiled wider, showed teeth.

"The grass is always greener. Being single isn't all its cracked up to be. The dating scene is still a mess for adults, trying to find someone I'm compatible with is—well—difficult. Which is why when I just want sex, I go to an app just for that purpose," she said.

"An app? Really?" Sue leaned forward a little. "You mean, when you want sex, you just...advertise?"

Dr. Stone fished out her phone from the purse at her feet. "It's a little more complex than that. Everyone on the app has to be approved. Regular medical test results uploaded to show you don't have any STDs. Anybody who gets rough or gives a bad vibe gets locked out. But it is pretty much designed for quick, anonymous sex. You see who's online and if you like the look of them, you swipe—start messaging them."

Sue Storm saw. Most of the pics involved both men and women's faces as well as their genitalia. The cheeks of the Invisible Woman blushed as she saw the parade of cocks and bushes.

"Oh my," then she saw the little gold ring sigil that was the app's symbol. "What does that mean?"

"Oh. Well, this is an app for—cheaters, basically. Married men and women who want to play. Single women like me are allowed on, but mostly it's married people."

"You—you cheat?" Sue was breathless for a moment. "What if that breaks up their marriage?"

Dr. Stone shrugged and put the phone back into her purse.

"Their relationships were already compromised. They weren't getting the sexual satisfication they needed through their normal partner. Some of them are in open relationships. But as I said, the point isn't an emotional connection, it's just sex. When I've had a long day and I need a hot tongue in me—well, maybe I enjoy a sex-starved housewife that needs to experiment a little."

There was an awkward moment between them. Then Sue Storm gave a little chuckle.

"This is not what I expected when I signed up for therapy," she admitted. "Staring at dick pics and talking about your sex life because mine has been nonexistent."

Dr. Stone chuckled as well. "You're right. We should focus on you. And since we're talking about your sex life—how should we improve yours?"

"Not with a hook-up app!" Sue said.

"No," the psychiatrist said. "But maybe...if you're open to it...another sort of app might help."
