We’ll be hitting town as soon as we sort something out.

I had never walked down the stairs quite so quickly. Then again, this was the first time that a mostly naked woman appeared next to me and told me that I possess a superpower that I needed to train. Sure, it was a little more complicated than that, I was technically still powerless but with a magical toy, but that didn’t really matter in my mind. I had been granted the opportunity to become a heroine, and I would not waste a single second that I could be putting into getting in crime-fighting shape.

The sound of rattling chains followed me all the way down to the main floor. “Not that I don’t admire the enthusiasm, but would you fill me in on why we are rushing to this? I’m pretty sure that there are going to be a similar amount of pedestrians walking around in five seconds as there will be in five minutes.” Strangely, she didn’t sound tired in the least. Stopping made me remember that I needed air to live, and I was gasping heavily, yet Regina looked completely unbothered.

But that was a conversation for another time, she asked me a question and it’s going to start looking bad eventually if I always take an hour to answer. “Sorry Regina, I’m just way too excited for this!” I smile as I take her by the wrists, jumping up and down with excitement. “I might be getting way ahead of myself, but this might be my chance to become a superheroine!” I was so happy that I simply had to hug her. “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!”

Strangely, she seemed to have found something funny in what I said. Then I realized that the big dumb smile in my face made me close my eyes, and that my head was currently surrounded by something other than air. “What’s the best thing? This, or the heroine thing?” Regina joked as she pushed me to stay buried between her breasts. She didn’t hold me there with much ****, so I was able to escape quickly, but I felt like I had been set on fire. Before I could get another word in, the skye-haired lady clapped her hands to demand my attention.

“So, this is really a world with superheroes, isn’t it?” She smiled, but it seemed strained. Was she not from here? I guess interdimensional travel could explain some stuff, but something like that felt like it could only happen in fiction. Then again, the list of things that couldn’t be real grew shorter and shorter each day. “Not that it’s my place to tell you what to do, since you clearly seem like an expert on this stuff, but I might as well say it for the sake of not going back into the ring before the night ends because you bit the dust. Shouldn’t you try to disguise yourself first? You know, in case people think you’re a villain?”

“What?” I asked, shocked at her suggestion. “But why would anyone think I’m a villain? I’m the kind of person that volunteers to help clean up the street and regularly donates to charity.” I tried to defend myself.

“And I’m a magnificent cook and a great Shakespeare reenactor, but what most people see is that I’m horny all the time and that I’m the best lay alive. You’re about to go change how random strangers on the street are, Hera. Maybe you’ll want to err on the side of caution in this one.” I couldn’t believe my ears, but Regina was completely correct on this. I had gotten so excited that I forgot what this could look like. And I made this mistake despite knowing how often this could happen to newbies as they start in crime-fighting.

“Shoot, now I’m going to need to climb all the way back to my apartment.” I hung my head low and began walking, before Regina caught me by digging her fingers into the waistband of my pants. She pulled me backwards, throwing me off balance before gracefully catching me. Sure, she was groping my ass big time and she took a chance to kiss my chest before letting me stand on my own feet, but her movements were still graceful for someone who acted like such a scamp.

“Firstly, it’s adorable that you still say ‘shoot’ instead of cursing. Really makes you seem like an innocent ball of sunshine.” While I didn’t like to be patronized, I was weirdly appreciative of being told that she found something about me adorable. “Secondly, aren’t you a woman? Why not use the ring on yourself?”

I defeated the temptation to bury my face in my hands, and opted for just following the advice. I didn’t want to think about this too hard, since I wanted to put a lot of thought into a hero costume and I shouldn’t be making one of those until I was ready to do heroics. There was the possibility of using someone else’s costume, but it was for the better if I didn’t give anyone else bad publicity. In all honesty, what I had to go for was something discreet but casual, and to change up my face so this couldn’t be traced back to me if something went wrong.

So, I ended up puffing my cheeks up, growing my nose a bit larger and increasing the gap between my eyebrows. Not exactly the most exciting changes, but they should do the job in making me someone else without standing out, and even this little stuff caused the ring to feel warmer than it did the first time. I also changed my top into a graphic t-shirt with a weird eye design a coworker of mine was wearing last week, and my green pants into a pair of blue jeans.

“Not that I’m trying to pressure you to do anything…” Regina lied. “But you do know that you can give yourself a bigger pair of tits, right?” She asked as she put a hand on one of my boobs, disappointment in her face as she saw it was the same size as the first time she squeezed it.

“What’s with you and touching my tits?” I really should have been more annoyed at her over this, but… She was also undeniably hot. Like, she shouldn’t get away with this just because I thought she was hot… but I wasn’t pulling her hand away either.

“I mean, I just got a handful of your ass a minute ago,” she said, as if what bothered me was an unequal amount of attention between the front and the back. “And you’re always more than welcome to touch mine.” An idea seemed to come to her, and I watched in slow motion as she grabbed my wrist with her free hand and put it on top of her tit. Which, unlike mine, wasn’t covered by anything. “Squeeze it.”

Not even a minute later, she was rubbing a red cheek (and not the kind that she would have been happy about) and undoing the top buttons of the business suit I just had **** on her. “A simple ‘not now, maybe later’ would have gotten the point across just as well.” She made an effort to put on a show of being hurt, but the smirk remained across her face. “I’m glad you’re being open about being a sadist, though.”

“What can I say? This is a learning experience. You’re learning about my world, I’m learning about the ring’s powers, and we’re both learning that you’re an attractive creep.” I tried to barb with her as we walked out of the building.

“Ah, but you think that I’m attractive. At the end of the day, isn’t that what counts the most?” I turned to face her with full intent to tell her what I thought counted, but then I saw that she had unbuttoned both her blazer and her shirt and was proudly presenting the fact she wore no bra. I decided it would be better to look for a distraction, and thankfully, a cry for help was just what I needed.

“We’ll talk about that some other time, someone needs saving and I don’t see any heroes around here.” I felt my chest erupt as I started running and yelled “Other than us!”
