Tess Tempest is Naked

Sue Storm had caught a glimpse of Mae on her website. She had noted the exaggerated hourglass figure, the ridiculous, blimp-like breasts and wide hips, the blonde hair worn shoulder-length in a style Sue herself often favored. Yet even the transparent outfit on the front of Tess Tempest's website had at least preserved a little modesty. Yet the woman that answered the door, the woman who was the same age as Sue, with her hair in the same style, almost the same height...was completely and shamelessly nude.

The Invisible Woman was so shocked she couldn't move for a moment. Frozen in utter shock as if she stared into some perverted funhouse mirror. Sue and Mae had always shared a certain resemblance, as two young blonde women of the same age and height must, but Mae had exaggerated the resemblance in some ways—the blue eyes had to be contacts, the formerly red hair dyed blonde—and in others, with implants and fillers, had exaggerated it into a sexual caricature of the motherly figure of the Fantastic Four.

"Sue! It is you!" Mae smiled and lunged forward. She enveloped the heroine in a quick hug, and then swiftly ushered her into the entrance hallway.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have answered the door like that, but I was just so excited to see you, to hear your voice..." Mae smiled. Sue blinked. Now that she had time to adjust, to focuse her eyes on Mae's face, she could see her old friend. A decade older, with better makeup than they had ever managed back in university, a bit of lip filler.

"It's alright. I'm sorry to just drop in on this, I know it's been years," Sue said, weakly. "Were you changing or...?"

"Oh!" Mae looked down at herself. "No, no. I'm a nudist, at least when I'm at home, and when I can get away. Sometimes at the office, too. You can get away with that, in the porn industry. You might say I'm the Visible Woman!"

The chuckle of laughter was pure Mae. Sue felt herself relax a little.

"I can throw something on, if you're not comfortable," Mae said as she took Sue's arm and guided her toward the living room. The couches, Sue noted, were all upholstered in blue leather. Easy to clean. There were awards that hung on the wall, framed posters from some of Tess Tempest's bigger features, a few framed photos of celebrities. Sue caught a glance of their graduation photo above the electric fireplace.

"No, it's all right," Sue said as she sat on the edge of a couch. "I mean, it's your house, I don't want to impose."

"Nothing you haven't seen before," Mae said with a chuckle as she sank down into a chair oppositie Sue, a low glass-covered coffee table between them. Sue did her level best not to stare as Mae crossed her legs, but she felt the heat on her cheeks as she caught a glimpse of a shaved bare pussy.

"That's...actually what I want to talk to you about," Sue said. "I feel guilty about just coming out and saying it. We haven't really spoken since college. Once Reed and Johnny and Ben and I graduated and we went up in that rocket...I lost touch with a lot of people."

"You were busy saving the world, hon," Mae said as she leaned back. "And getting married. I watched the wedding on TV. You know I made a move based on that?"

"I...I didn't," Sue blushed harder. "Honestly, I haven't followed your career. I didn't even think to look you up until today because...well...you remember those glamour shots we did?"

Mae's smile froze. The lids on the eyes lowered a touch. Sue felt herself conscientiously twist her wedding band, then stopped herself.

"I remember," Mae said, voice a little softer, all the laughter gone out of it.

"They've started to leak onto the internet. I...never told my husband about it. Never told anyone, really. I've told my son 'Don't Google mommy,' but that's all related to superhero business. Not..."

"You want them taken down," Mae said. Her eyes were a piercing shade of blue, utterly unnatural. Sue could see the edges of the contacts. "So you came to me."

"I was hoping you knew the name of the photographer, or who he sold them to..." Sue began, but Mae waved her hand.

"I bought him out years ago. I own the photos. The negatives, the originals, and the rights," Mae said.

"Would you...consider selling them to me?" Sue said. "That way I can issue a takedown notice..."

Mae nodded, absently. As if thinking of something else.

"All these years, and you walk back into my life. Right back to that night," Mae said. Sue could see that her old friend was deep in thought. Memories of the past, maybe...or plans of the future. A knot seemed to tie itself in Sue's gut. She was here because she had hoped Mae would help her. Yet she hadn't known her for over a decade. A long time. People change. And Mae, now, knew she had something on Sue. Something Sue wanted.

"Yes, I'll give you the rights, the photos, the negatives. Everything," Mae said simply. "But in exchange, I want..."
