The New Sue

In the days that followed Mephisto’s defeat, Sue was amazed to see all physical evidence of what had happened fade away, and everyone seemed to wake from a dream, and the memories of that dream were already fading. It was as if none of it had really happened.

But Sue knew otherwise.

She could almost pretend at first that it had all been a nightmare, but then she had seen her reflection staring back at her in shock from a bathroom mirror. The scarlet skin, the voluptuous figure, the curling black horns that sprouted from her forehead, and the golden slits of her eyes. Her forked tongue darted between her sharp fangs as she gasped at the sight.

Everything else had reverted to how it had been before the nightmare had begun, but not her. She was back in her own body, but it still bore the transformation on it by Mephisto’s evil sorcery. After a quick test, she found that she retained the powers of the Invisible Woman, but now she had the additional powers of the Succubus.

She could change her appearance at will, and without any apparent effort. Just as well, because she couldn’t yet face the idea of anyone knowing that she still retained her demonic form, or having to explain how she’d got it. Taking on the appearance of the old Susan Storm-Richards, she wandered out into the world and her other powers became apparent very quickly.

Even with her old appearance, and dressed in baggy and unflattering clothes, she drew admiring gazes from all who passed her, men and woman alike. She was able to dial down this magical allure with a conscious effort, but if she chose to focus it, she could make herself irresistible to any mortal being.

She could also look at anyone and see their deepest desires, their fetishes and fantasies. The more dominant the desire, the more easy it was to detect, and passions and perversions almost screamed from some people like glowing neon signs. She could tune this out if she chose to, but when she walked along a New York sidewalk, she was assailed by a storm of sexual urges and desires from all directions.

She couldn’t help but be aware of her own team’s desires also. Thankfully there were no deep and terrible secrets there. Johnny was a total horn-dog who wanted to screw almost every attractive woman he saw, but that was hardly news. Yes, he had some fantasies about Sue, but that was hardly news either. But these were kept in check and were balanced by his strong moral sense and his healthy love for his sister.

Ben Grimm, likewise, had a natural and healthy interest in his attractive team-mate (in particular, he always gave her perfect ass a glance or two as it swung into action with the FF) but that was about as far as it went. Morally speaking, he was sold as a rock and remained true to Alicia Masters.

Reed was the least surprising, but perhaps the biggest disappointment. She almost wished he had some deep secret fantasies that she could act on to add spice to their marriage, but there was very little to work with there. As she’d always known, he was far more excited about the idea of probing into undiscovered areas of science than any other kind of probing…

Even so, despite the lack of any perverse little fantasies of her husband’s, their sex-life had taken a major boost since the Mephisto incident. How could it not? Even though he didn't know it, he shared a bed with a Succubus! She did her best to inflame his passions and he was certainly aware that his wife had shown a sudden increase in her sex drive which he had responded to, but as always, his mind was on other things.

Her sex drive had certainly increased. She barely ever thought of anything else. Her mind was constantly swamped with sexual images and scenarios that she picked up from the people around her, even when she could shut them out to a greater extent. And the succubus within her responded to these urges and desires, wanted to play on them, inflame them, and feed on them.

She sensed instinctively that she could be a sexual vampire, seducing and corrupting any victim, feeding and fueling their lusts, and if she fucked them, she could absorb the sexual energy they gave off. She knew this energy would swell her power and give her an incredible kind of pleasure that no normal sensation could ever produce.

But she knew all too well what could happen if she went down that route, and using all her reserves of willpower and self-control, she kept those urges in check.

Since it had been her careless indulgence of her secret passions that had led her into Mephisto’s evil clutches and almost resulted in a trans-dimensional catastrophe, maybe this was some sort of punishment from the higher power that had set things back as they should be? To make sure she never forgot that there were consequences from playing with forbidden fires.

If so, she would do her best to atone for those sins. She pondered how she could use her new Succubus powers for the benefit of mankind, just as she always had with her powers as a member of the Fantastic Four. One obvious use was that she could easily spot sex offenders from a mile away. Setting herself to this task, she was soon able to detect serial rapists and abusers even from a distance, and it was easy enough to give anonymous tip-offs to the authorities, or loved ones, or potential victims.

Soon, she was responsible for various arrests and the downfall of various politicians, businessmen, and celebrities who had been taking advantage of their status to perpetuate all manner of sexual on their victims. She remained anonymous in this, but word soon spread that someone was targeting sexual predators and doing a good job of it!

This made her feel that she was doing something worthwhile with her new powers, but there still burned deep within her, the constant urge to sample the very depravity she was crusading against. Each time she delved into the dark, seething passions of some deviant, she could feel them calling to the dark lusts that boiled and seethed somewhere in the essence of her Succubus form.

What if she weakened, and the allure of the forbidden became too much for her to resist, once again? She was sure Reed would be able to help. Or maybe someone like Dr Strange, or the Scarlet Witch? On more than one occasion, she’d begun to confide in Reed, and tell him about her transformation, but each time, she hesitated then held back. For some reason that she barely understood, she felt that she must keep this secret for as long as she could.

So, from an outsider’s perspective, things were back to normal and it was business as usual for the Fantastic Four. She was back to juggling her time between serving as a member of the superhero team and as a wife and mother. And now, when she had any time to herself, she could no longer ‘amuse herself’ by using the perception filter and indulging her secret fantasies. She could change shape easily enough, but it would be far too dangerous to indulge her secret desires! Instead, she took to visiting clubs and bars in disguise, so she wouldn’t be pestered by paparazzi or heroine fanboys. She could also scan the people around her for sexual predators and use the time productively by taking their lives apart and seeing to it that they were punished for their abuses.

On just such a night, when the rest of the FF were busy elsewhere and she had a few hours to kill, she was sitting in a bar, sipping a martini and observing the clientele, when her senses began tingling at the approach of a very strong sender of sexual passions. It was one of the darkest, and most intoxicating sexual auras she’d detected since becoming a Succubus. She focused her senses and watched as the source of the aura entered the bar…

Elsewhere, Christy Chang stood with her hands on her hips in a pool of light, and stared defiantly into the darkness around her.

She spoke in a brash, authoritative voice that seemed not to fit the delicate Asian beauty.

“Listen to me, and listen well. I am not as I appear. Within this body, lives the soul of the TRUE Susan Storm! Not the simpering fool who clings to the pathetic Reed Richards. The one who came close to ruling this world. The one who SHOULD rule this world, and usher in a glorious new dawn of evil depravity. I have come to you, because I think you can help me achieve this. What do you say?”

She looked expectantly at the figure who moved slowly into the light…
