The rescue, Part 2

Gwen stared at Wonder Woman in absolute awe as the Amazon stood tall, a determined look on her face. This was her first look at Wonder Woman up close, and she looked even more magnificent -- and even sexier -- than Gwen could have imagined.

The Tamaranean guard charged at Diana, attempting to quickly swarm her, and Diana deftly displayed her experience and skill, cutting through the numerous guards who had foolishly attacked her. As she slammed her shield into the head of the last of the attacking guards, she once again stood tall as the other surrounding guards began to realize who they were dealing with, their thoughts of victory now giving way to fear.

Diana sheathed her weapons and confidently strode towards Cassie before turning and glaring at the frightened elite guards.

"Never, ever mess with one of my lovers," Diana said authoritatively, hooking her arm around Cassie's waist and pulling her in for a deep kiss that was both forceful yet loving. Cassie melted into the kiss, captivated by the confident authority of her dominant lover as she always was.

Meanwhile, Gwen couldn't help but gawk at the unbelievably hot kiss between the Amazon women, her pussy growing wet at the sight. She'd realized her growing attraction to Cassie, and she knew the two had a connection, but seeing Diana lock lips with the blonde stirred a lust inside her she couldn't ignore. She imagined herself between Cassie and Diana, exchanging kisses with both women not unlike the one she was witnessing at that moment, and shivers coursed through her body.

Most of the Tamaranean Guard had fled at that point, realizing that with Wonder Woman leading the group of heroes, their chances of victory were slim to none. Larfleeze, though, had other plans.

"The famous Wonder Woman! You now face the famous Larfleeze! Your tiara is so pretty, too pretty for anyone's head but mine! I will take that tiara and wear it proudly! It will be MINE!"

"Conner! Cassie! Ghost-Spider! I'll deal with Larfleeze... keep his undead constructs off my back!" Diana commanded.

The Orange Lantern charged at Diana, his constructs turning their attention to the Gwen and the other Titans. Emboldened by Wonder Woman's entrance, Cassie, Gwen & Conner took the fight to the undead Orange Lantern Corps, outmaneuvering the corpses as they attacked and deftly incapacitating them.

"Y'know, we make a pretty awesome team," Cassie told Gwen as the pair took out corpse after corpse. "Ever think about joining the Titans?"

"Can't say I have, but now that you mention it... hanging out with you guys all the time? That's a reeeeeally tempting offer," Gwen answered. "All the worrying about my best friend aside, I'm having a great time."

"Same here. And I'm sure MJ's gonna be OK -- I get the feeling she's really tough."

"That she is," Gwen confirmed. "Most people run away from the psycho goblin dude with the pumpkin bombs or the giant scorpion guy, but not MJ. She's saved my ass more times than I can count."

Cassie smiled, encouraged by the thought that MJ would be OK after this. "You two are gonna have to tell me all about that sometime."

Meanwhile, Diana quickly gained the upper hand in her fight, calm and collected against Larfleeze's mindless greed. The Orange Lantern was powerful, but Diana had had plenty of experience fighting both alongside and against Lanterns before. She skillfully parried and blocked the orange constructs Larfleeze threw at her.

Frustration mounted for the Orange Lantern. Even with everything he'd thrown at her, Larfleeze couldn't slow down Diana's advance, and she was closing in on him. Knowing he wouldn't stand a chance against Wonder Woman in hand to hand combat, Larfleeze conjured as much power as his ring could muster and summoned a massive fist, which he swung as hard as he could. It connected with incredible impact, shattering windows and knocking back anything that wasn't nailed down -- but Diana, standing in a defensive stance with her shield drawn, didn't budge. She lunged at Larfleeze with all the speed of Hermes and struck him with the hilt of her sword, knocking him out.

"And that takes care of that... Nice work out there, Titans."

"Good to see you, Diana. You couldn't have shown up at a better time," said Conner, shaking the goddess' hand.

"Good to see you, too, Conner. And the rest of you. And you -- you're the Ghost-Spider, aren't you? I've heard good things about you. It's a pleasure to meet you," Diana said to the extending her hand towards the awestruck Gwen.

"Uh, um, yeah... it-it's a pleasure to meet you too," Gwen stammered, accepting Diana's handshake.

"I saw you dealing with Larfleeze's constructs. I'm impressed," Diana lauded.

I impressed Wonder Woman. This is the greatest day of my life, Gwen thought to herself.

"Oh, uh, thanks. That means a lot coming from you," said Gwen.

"I'm flattered to hear that. I look forward to getting to know you better soon," Diana told Gwen. Gwen held herself together quite well at that moment, but she was squealing with glee inside.

"In any case, I'm here to help rescue MJ," said Diana. "I take it she's being held at the palace?"

"That's right," said Conner. "We were separated from the rest of the Titans before we got cornered. We think Blackfire's planning to execute them."

"Then we've got no time to lose," Diana said as she led the team to the Tamaranean palace.

Mary Jane stopped in her tracks upon seeing Kori restrained, a shocked look one her face as she saw who she was supposed to execute.

"Kill her, Mary Jane," Komand'r hissed, frustrated with MJ's hesitation. Everyone else who had been fitted with a control chip had obeyed her orders without a second thought -- how could MJ defy her?

"MJ... it's me, Kori... you can fight this!" Kori encouraged. "Think of us, MJ. Think of all the time we've spent together!"

MJ slowly stumbled towards Kori, seemingly unsure of what to do. The control chip was compelling her to carry out Blackfire's demands. But she looked at the woman in front of her, tears in her green eyes, and knew she couldn't hurt her, ever.

"Please, MJ! You're the most important thing in this universe to me... I love you... I love you!" Kori begged.

"I... would never... hurt... you..." MJ said as she dropped the sword. Komand'r looked on in complete disbelief -- nobody had ever defied her orders when outfitted with a Tamaranean control chip. And now, as a result of her defiance, the chip had gone haywire. MJ let out a pained scream and dropped to the floor, writhing in agony.

Upon seeing MJ in pain, Kori snapped. Her hands charged with energy and she broke free of her restraints, letting off quick starbolts to free her teammates before charging at her sister.

In their prior battles, Komand'r had always been the victor. This time, though, Kori's rage overwhelmed her -- the younger sister hit her with bolts and beams of burning energy far stronger than anything she'd been hit with before. Kori kept up the ****, and upon getting close enough, began hitting her sister with a flurry of vicious punches.

The other Titans ended up making quick work of the guards in the room, thanks in part to M'gann and Raven, who used the fear they'd felt witnessing Kori's unbridled rage against them by amplifying it -- With Nightwing, Cyborg and Beast Boy's training and skills, the guards were now sitting ducks. Terrified, trembling sitting ducks.

When the smoke cleared, Starfire stood triumphantly over her sister. She bent down and grabbed Blackfire by the throat, her eyes glowing with rage.

"Komand'r. Stay away from my girlfriend," Kori hissed. "If you don't, I swear by X'Hal than next time, I will make you suffer far worse than anything you have ever put me through, and as I have just demonstrated, I now have the means to do so. Do I make myself clear?"

"Unhnnhhh..." Komand'r moaned, still in shock from the beating she'd just received. Kori had never been able to defeat her in combat before... how much had she changed? Kori angrily threw her sister to the ground before turning and walking towards the other Titans.

Raven stood off to the side, her eyes wide. "Well, that was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen... and my dad's Trigon."

"You're telling me," said Beast Boy. "In all the time I've known Kori I've only seen her this angry, like, once, and I had nightmares for weeks afterwards."

Raven nodded in agreement. "It's always the sweet ones, isn't it? You never want to piss off the sweet ones."

"Words to live by," Gar agreed.

Kori looked over at her teammates, and her gaze quickly fixed on Cyborg, who was tending to MJ.

"MJ!" Kori ran over to her girlfriend. Cyborg looked at Kori and let her take MJ in her arms.

"I've successfully deactivated and removed the control chip, Kori. MJ's gonna need some rest, but she'll be fine."

"Thank you Victor," Kori said with a tearful smile. "I owe you."

"Anytime, Kori. Tell you what -- buy me a pizza sometime and we'll call it even."

At that point, Wonder Woman walked into the palace's throne room, flanked by Gwen & Cassie as they were accompanied by the other Titans who hadn't been captured.

"It looks like you've taken care of everything here," said Diana. "Speaking of which, we've dealt with the royal guard and the Orange Lanterns. More importantly, how is Mary Jane doing?"

"She'll be fine. Just needs some rest," Cyborg repeated.

Diana sighed in relief, her mind at ease knowing her new lover was unhurt. She began to think of how she could comfort MJ after this ordeal -- it wasn't long before her mind was filled with ideas she knew the redhead would love.

"You have no idea how relieved that makes me. Now where's Blackfire? I'd like to teach her a lesson..." asked Diana.

"I don't think you need to -- Kori already did that and then some," Raven answered, pointing out Komand'r's badly beaten, barely conscious body.

"I see. I've heard stories of that legendary Tamaranean rage."

"I may never sleep again!" commented Gar.

Meanwhile, MJ began to stir. "Kori...?" she said weakly, looking up at Starfire.

"MJ..."

"Kori... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," MJ whimpered, tears in her eyes. "I remember everything... but there was nothing I could do..."

"It wasn't your fault. You were being controlled by my sister."

"But... I nearly killed you..."

"No, that was Komand'r, not you. I knew it was you -- the real you -- when you broke free. You have such a strong mind, MJ."

"Heheh... yeah. I guess I am pretty amazing, aren't I? You really got through to me then... I heard everything. By the way, I love you too," MJ smiled weakly. Kori smiled back, tears in her eyes.

"Awwwwwwwwwwww," Gar cooed jokingly, smiling at the couple. "So cuuuuuuuuuuuute!"

"I know, right? I think I'm gonna puke hearts and candy," Gwen said, a wide smile on her face.

"I think I'm just plain gonna puke," Raven countered, a slight smile on hers.

"You looooove it," Gar teased Raven.

A wide smile on her face, Kori looked affectionately at MJ and kissed her cheek. "Let's go home," she said. "We can talk privately later."

"Good idea," MJ yawned. "I could use a nap right now anyway..."

MJ fell asleep in Kori's arms, her head resting on the Tamaranean's shoulder.

"And what about her?" Nightwing asked, pointing towards Blackfire's now **** figure. "It's your call, Kori..."

"Leave her," Kori answered. "As Queen, losing to me in battle will humiliate her. Even if she were to restore her honor, She won't dare risk losing to me again."

"Have it your way. All right everybody, we're done here."

Kori looked over and MJ's sleeping face and smiled, carrying her out alongside her teammates and friends.

"Hey, Gwen! Wait up," Cassie requested as the team made their way back to the Javelin. Gwen stopped and let Cassie catch up to her, and the pair continued walking. "I wanted to tell you that it was pretty awesome teaming up with you. I really hope we can do it again sometime."

"Same here," Gwen said back. "I can't think of anyone else I'd wanna beat up undead orange corpses consumed by greed with."

"Heheheh, neither can I," Cassie laughed.

Gwen rubbed the back of her neck. She'd had something on her mind since the voyage to Tamaran, and now was as good a time to say something as any. "So, Cass, I gotta ask you something... when we were talking on the Javelin on the way here, you kinda blanked out when I mentioned Wonder Woman being such a dominant ****. Were you, uh, thinking of her... ahem... 'dominance' in the bedroom?"

Cassie blushed deeply, an embarrassed smile forming on her face. It was a personal question, to be sure, but Cassie felt she'd built enough of a rapport with Gwen that she didn't mind answering. Besides, the look of curiosity on Gwen's face said it all. "Yeah, I was... sorry about that. I kinda got lost in a fog there remembering our first night on Themyscira. She threw me on the bed, tied my wrists together, and wow this is probably TMI for you..."

Gwen didn't mind -- in fact -- she wanted to hear more, much more -- but she also realized that the mental image of Cassie submitting to would cause her to zone out the way Cassie did. "It's cool. But I gotta say, you did look pretty funny, staring into space like that."

"Like you wouldn't do the same thing," Cassie retorted with a grin. "But I've been doing some thinking, especially since we met -- as much as I love Diana, and as much as I love submitting to my mistress, I think I kinda need a girlfriend I'm on the same level as, y'know? Someone who's more my 'equal' in a relationship kind of way."

Gwen smiled in agreement. "I think I know what you mean. I think that's a really smart way of looking at things."

"I mean, I'd never give up my relationship with Diana. She's meant so much to me, and I love being her sub. The sex is so incredible..."

"...I can imagine," Gwen nodded. "It's freakin' Wonder Woman, after all. No surprise she'd be a sex goddess on top of everything else."

"...You have no idea. Anyway, I like you, Gwen. And I think you like me too. So, if you're interested, do you maybe kinda sorta wanna go on a date sometime?"

"That sounds awesome. I'd really like that," Gwen smiled, looking into Cassie's eyes. Cassie smiled back, and her hand made her way to Gwen's and closed around it as their fingers interlocked, and they continued walking to the Javelin, together. As they smiled at each other, both women couldn't help but think that it was only a matter of time before Diana had them both in bed with her, a thought that made their hearts beat a little faster.

Watching them holding hands on the way back to the ship, Diana couldn't help but smile widely herself -- she was delighted for her protege, feeling that Gwen was a perfect match for Cassie, and she was also thrilled at the prospect of a new sexy lover. Between Cassie, Gwen, Kori & MJ (and maybe more?), she was sure she'd be spending a lot more time at Titans Tower soon. A lot more.

That night, MJ and Kori made slow and gentle love, taking the time to enjoy one another's affection. Everything felt a little sweeter, the kisses were a little more tender, their climaxes felt a little more intimate.

"MJ, I must tell you... before we met, I believed my next visit to Tamaran would be to reclaim my throne from my sister," Kori said, beaming with happiness as she looked into her girlfriend's eyes. "But after she took you from me... all I could think about was getting you back. My old life, my throne... none of that mattered to me. Tamaran is where I was born, but my home is here now... with you."

Happy tears formed in MJ's eyes, and she smiled warmly at the alien princess she'd come to love so deeply. "The feeling is mutual, babe. Even when I was under your sister's control, the moment I saw you there... I know I couldn't hurt you. That chip was screaming in my head to kill you. God, the pain... I've never felt anything like that before. But I couldn't do it... because I love you. Wow, that feels so amazing to say... I could say it over and over to you for hours."

Kori smiled back, her eyes filling with joyful tears of her own. "I love you too, MJ. Wherever life takes me... I want you by my side."

"Good, because there's nowhere else I'd rather be," MJ whispered. "Of course, I have plans of my own..."

"And I want to be by your side for those," Kori said as the two softly kissed again. They both thought about how much they had changed since their first meeting. How they began to explore their increasing attraction to other women. Their blossoming relationships with Cassie, M'gann & and Diana... among others. Who would they meet on their next adventure? They smiled, thinking of the amazing possibilities as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
