Chapter 9 by The-Drunken-Bandit The-Drunken-Bandit

Does Dr. Girlfriend take your offer?

At first no, but after some more disscusion she agrees...

Dr. girlfriend goes quiet at your question at first, but slowly soon shakes her head as she comes up with an obvious response.

“No. I’m sorry I can’t help you, honey. In case you haven’t forgotten I’m a super villain, I steal and destroy things for a living. What you’re asking of me is completely out of my league and field of expertise. What you need are heroes honey, not villains.” Sheila says as she rejects your offer at first. However, you expected this response from her and knew you needed to elaborate further on what you're truly going to do to prepare for planet fusion’s invasion.

“I haven’t forgotten Sheila; the thing is I’m not going to go out and gather all the heroes of the multi-verse to prepare for planet fusion’s invasion.” You explain to the villainess as she quirks a brow in questioning and asks a rather logical question.

“What? Why not? With this ship, it would be a pretty simple job to simply go around and collect the strongest heroes throughout the multi-verse to simply pound fusion into a green smear on the floor.” Sheila questions as she crosses her arms and looks at you with a look of confusion. At this question, you simply shake your head and elaborate further on just exactly why you’re not doing what she suggested.

“Because Shelia that plan may not actually work considering the wildly different personalities, backgrounds, and moralities of the many different heroes that exist throughout the multi-verse and that’s not even considering what will happen when their respective villains catch on to the fact that there are other worlds out there where they can get stupidly powerful in a very short amount of time. I mean really Sheila tell me what happens when a villain suddenly learns of the possibility of gaining a great amount of power in a very short amount of time with little effort?” You ask the deep-voiced woman and in response she goes quiet for a bit, before suddenly turning pale as she slowly gazes downwards as her mind recalls the many different incidents and absolute catastrophes that have happened back on her earth and in comic books in general when a supervillain suddenly gains the ability to become incredibly powerful in a very short amount of time.

Seeing this look of horror on the professional number two of the Guild of calamitous intent, you continue onwards with your explanation.

“Seeing your reaction, I think you are now coming to the same realization that I had when I first started coming up with plans to fight planet fusion.” You begin as Dr. girlfriend breaks her downward gaze and raises her head to look you in the eyes once more. As she did so, you immediately raised one index finger upwards and began listing off the plans you had when it came to combating planet fusion.

“The first plan I came up was the one you first suggested, to gather all the heroes of the multi-verse to fight back against planet fusion. However, I realized that this plan would never work, for three main reasons. One, the heroes from across the multi-verse would be too far divided to actually work together cohesively in a unified front. Two, many heroes are arrogant opportunists who think they know better and as a result, they may end up causing more problems than planet fusion. Finally, Three, once the Pandora’s box that is the combined multi-verse is open to them, it won’t be long until the problems of their worlds start spilling out into each other, i.e. villains, organizations, and power-hungry maniacs.” You explain to Sheila as you list off the first strategy you had in mind combating planet fusion.

As you explain this strategy and why it wouldn’t work, Sheila remains completely quiet, but after some time she closes her eyes and sighs as she begrudgingly nods in agreement with your words.

Sigh… I hate to say, but you're not wrong. I've spent my entire career in supervillainy surrounded by egomaniacs on both sides of the fence when it came to heroes and villains. All of them rarely, if ever, worked together and even then their alliances were only temporary or were simply just a part of their job and were **** to work with each other. Usually more often than not these damn alliances of their’s would only end up blowing up in everyone's faces, both the heroes and the villains, often due to the ego’s of everyone involved.” Shelia sighs out as she details her past experiences with team-ups, both the heroic and the villainous, with disdain and weariness as she rubs her eyes with her thumb and index finger in frustration, before looking back up at you continuing.

“Not to mention your right about what will eventually happen in time if you did contact the other heroes for help. Honestly, when I think about their problems trickling out their worlds, especially some the problems that exist in DC and Marvel, I can feel my damn heart freeze up in fear.” Shelia tells you as you can see her shiver slightly, though you are unable to determine whether it is from fear or from her catching a cold due to her water soaked clothes.

You are looking at her with some concern you order a drone to zap a towel up to the command center, along with a dry set of clothes. Immediately a small flash of blue light appears as a plain white towel, a white t-shirt, grey sweatpants, and a pink bathrobe with pink bunny slippers appear on the command centers coffee table.

Dr. girlfriend’s eyes quickly catch onto the flash of light, and she looks behind you to see the source of said flash sitting on the command centers coffee table. Seeing the neatly folded clothes and towel sitting there, her eyes quickly go back to you. Seeing the questioning look on her face, you look at her with a slightly flustered look as you scratch the back of your helmet in nervousness.

“I-A, don’t want you to catch a cold. If you want, I could zap a privacy wall up here for you to change while we talk.” You tell Shelia nervously to which she looks at you with a slight smile, as she walks over to the center of the room where the coffee table sits with the couches.

“Thank you, and yes I would like that privacy wall very much if you don’t mind.” Shelia thanks you with a smile as she walks over to the table. Complying with her request you ask the ship to zap up a collapsible privacy wall for Sheila to change behind.

Immediately a 3-piece oval-shaped chrome covered privacy divider appeared into the room in a small flash of blue light, next to the coffee table, behind one of the couches. Seeing this Shelia took the clothes that rested on the coffee table before disappearing behind the divider to change.

“Ok, so plan A was a bust for the reasons mentioned before, what about plan B then?” Shelia questioned from behind the divider as she took off her pink coat and threw it on top of the divider.

“Well, plan B was for me to create a recruit a strike team of heavy hitters to whittle away at planet fusion and essentially starve it out by denying it worlds to consume. However, this was also a bust as I figured it would be impossible to combat planet fusion on all possible fronts since it is a living planet that can simply jump wherever it wants. Also, it would take to long to train these heroes to be ready to properly fight planet fusion before it became active and started eating worlds.” You tell Shelia as you walk over to the couch facing the one shes changing behind and took a seat to wait for your possible hench to finish changing.

“That makes sense I guess, I don’t suppose you had a plan C in mind?” Shelia asked as you could see her put her white high heeled kneehigh boots off to the side of the divider before taking off her lacy purple undergarments and placing them on top of the divider with her pink jacket and button cap.

“Plan C was essentially me cloaking all the worlds throughout the cartoon multi-verse in order to hide them from planet fusion’s awareness. However, this would be a futile task as for every world that I successfully cloak, there would be another that fuse would consume because I wasn’t fast enough to get to it.” You tell Sheila as you cross your legs and wait patiently for the villainess to finish changing. You have to wait long for soon after your response Sheila walks around the divider dressed in the clothes you gave her before and takes a seat on the couch opposite to human in front of the divider.

“Okay, plan D?” Sheila asks as she takes a seat. You grimace slightly at the thought of plan D as he began to explain it to the supervillainess.

Ehh… Plan D was me destroying a world before fuse could get to them. I immediately rejected that plan for obvious reasons; I... I don’t like talking about it.” You tell Dr. girlfriend squeamishly as your eyes diverted off to the side at the thought of plan D. Sheila’s eyes go a little wide at such an **** option, but she relaxes after you explain that you have no intention of going through with such an insane plan.

“Yeah, I can see why. I gotta ask you do you even have a plan to fight fuse? Or are you just drawing straws right now?” Sheila questions with a curious and slightly sarcastic tone as she quirks one her delicate brows questioning.

“Oh no, I do have a plan! Thing is I’m not sure how you’re going to react to it…” You nervously explain as your eyes dart off to the side once more as you scratch the back of your head in nervousness. In response, Sheila seems to relax a little bit more and crosses her legs and leans back into her couch and looks at you with a joking look.

“Oh come on now honey, you know who I am and the things I've done. Just spit it out already, I'm a big girl and trust me when I say I've heard it all before because believe me I have.” Shelia tells you with calm confidence as she puts a hand on her chin as she leans forward in curiosity. You stay silent for a second or so, before sighing to yourself. Well, its all or nothing now…

“Well to start off with I found this data file that was left by one of the original alien creators the ship, and it detailed a specific mechanism within the ship that allows the user to gain powers and abilities from the planets that he or she conquers. This file also asked the user to essentially go out into the multi-verse and essentially conquer worlds and deny their resources to planet fusion. Which is what I’m planning to do…” You begin your explanation to Sheila to which she just looks at you with a small smile as she waves off that little detail.

“heh. Is that what you are worked up about honey? You do know that world conquest is par for the course when it comes to being a supervillain right?” Sheila chuckles a little bit as she takes her hand off her chin and leans back into the comfortable couch with her arms crossed.

“Though now I can see why you brought me up here now. You don’t look like you have any experience at being a bad guy, and so I guess that's why your recruiting me, as you’d have a teacher who could show you the ropes. Honestly, if that’s all you needed to from me, I would gladly help teach you how to be a villain honey.” Sheila tells you with a small smile. In response, you grimace slightly as you bring up the small caveat that this plan depends on.

“That’s not the part I’m worried about Sheila; I knew you wouldn’t have any hang ups on teaching me how to be a villain. It’s the other part of the plan that I’m concerned about and how you’ll react to it.” You nervously tell Sheila as she just raises a single brow in curiosity.

“Really? Why what is it?” Sheila questions slowly in both curiosity and concern. You go quiet for a minute or so before answering the deep-voiced woman.

“Well… _Sigh… _You see simply starving planet fusion by denying its ability to eat worlds isn’t enough. In order to truly and fully destroy planet fusion, you need the power of a God to do so. Thankfully before the aliens died they created a powerful device that could allow me to eventually grow into the powers of a God if given enough energy.” You explain slowly and hesitantly to the villainess as you can start to feel the sense of unease sink into the room. Dr. girlfriend’s brows furrow as she looks at you with great concern at your words.

“What kind of energy?” Sheila asked slowly and tentatively with a slight undercurrent of concern in her voice. Welp. It’s time to see how she’ll react to the news of the Tantric battery.

“The kind of energy that comes from love and lovemaking…” You hesitantly tell Sheila with the wince.

Sheila can only give a straight flat look at your words, but you can see a slight undercurrent of anger behind her eyes as she looks at you. However, she eventually sighs to herself and closes her eyes tight in frustration and pent up rage as she pinches the bridge of her nose.

Sigh… So, you’re mean to tell me that the only plan that you have left is to essentially become a multiversal playboy to gain enough power permanently destroy planet fusion.” Sheila states slowly with frustration and anger evident in her voice as she continues to pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration. In response, you grimace and wince at the slightly angered expression on her face and immediately try to apologize to her for the… lewdness of the plan.

“Look I’m sorry, but if there was any other way I would’ve immediately-!“ “Honey. Just stop.” Sheila cuts you off with a hand raised as she stops pinching the bridge of her nose and looks at you with a flat frustrated look, despite this though you could see a glimpse of understanding and weariness behind her eyes.

“Just stop. Look. I get it if there was any other way I’m sure you would have tried to find it, but from the looks of it, you don’t have the time to come up with anything else. So again, I get it I really do. An despite my own personal… Misgivings about the situation, I can understand that we have literally no other choice.” Shelia tells you wearly as she uncrosses her legs and begins to stand up from her position on the couch.

“We? Does this mean-?” “Sigh... yes, it means you got yourself a certified guild of calamitous intent number two. Now, where am I staying during this insane little adventure of ours?” Dr.girlfriend asks as she agrees to be your commander and your henchwoman as she walks over to you as you begin to stand.

“Great! I’ll show you where your room is later. First, we’re going to have to get you a new outfit and have you go through a medical check-up in the med bay!” You tell your new Hench woman cheerfully as you stand and begin to lead her to the elevator. As the two of you start to walk you can see a Sheila quirk a brow in questioning at your mention of a checkup.

“The costume I can understand, but a medical checkup?” Shelia questions as the two of you enter the round elevator.

“Well yeah, I can't send you out into the field without you being in tip-top shape, also don’t you want to fix your voice?” You ask your number two who goes still at the mention of her nicotine-ravaged vocal cords. Immediately Shelia looks up at you with her eyes wide as she places a hand gently at her throat.

“You… You can do that?” Shelia questions slowly in shock and surprise as she rubs her throat slowly. At this, you nod and cheerfully explain further to your new number two as the elevator makes its descent to the ships med bay.

“Of, course! With the advanced tech on this ship, anything is practically possible within the realm of reason! We could do more in time, but we would need a trained doctor to update the sub-routines within the ships med-bay. Oh! That reminds me here.” You stop yourself as you immediately bring up a hard light holographic display the size of a clipboard in front of you and quickly hand it over to Shelia. Shelia freezes for a second before taking the document and narrows her eyes at the document in front of her and begins to read the contents of the display out loud.

“Congratulations, this... is... your Contract of employment?!” Shelia questions loudly as she pauses in her reading of the document to look back up at you. In response, you shrug your shoulders as you explain the contents of the document.

“What? I thought you would be okay with some basic ground rules that include some basic stuff to protect you legally from some of the weird stuff we might encounter?” Shelia blinks a few times at your words before turning back to face the document to read off some of the benefits that it offered.

“Vacation days, Full health and Dental, free room and board, and a weekly paycheck of…” Shelia’s deep voice dies in her throat as she goes still at the sheer size of her new paycheck and her jaw drops slowly at the amount of zero’s she sees. As Shelia’s brain trys to find a way come back to planet earth, the elevator has reached its destination, and the door slowly opens up into the white and red lined walls of the medical deck of the ship.

“Well, we’re here I'm going to set out a path for you to follow down to the nearest auto-doc, their the large silver tubes with the staff of Hermes on it. Just step in, and the auto-doc will do the rest, Once your done your new outfit and gear are waiting for you with a minion once you step out of the auto-doc.” You tell Shelia as she numbly steps out of the elevator and into the hallway and as the doors close behind her you got to ask yourself…

What kind of outfit and gear should Dr.Girlfriend have?
