Returning to the nest on the sublevels of the Baxtor
Building, Susan Storm carried a change of cloths with her and a large bundle of
vials of the drug she used on herself in the other hand, created with help from
Herbie. When she got back, she was beyond disgusted. By now several of her
children had hatched, crowding the large space with a dozen male creatures who
went straight to work building the hive by pumping their shafts to douse the
walls and floors with their resin, her older children tended to Alicia who was
currently nursing the latest born of their hive and watching as one by one they
became enveloped in cocoons and latched themselves to the ceiling. As soon as
the formally blind woman caught sight of Susan exiting the elevator, the she
creature stood to her feet and practically scampered towards the tall woman and
pulled her into an embrace. Surprising Susan with a passionate kiss that had
her tongue snake into her mouth and dance with her own tongue.
“Look at you Susan… You’re magnificent!” Purred Alicia, nuzzling
into Susan’s cleavage and letting her hands roam over her back and down to her
rear, Susan took this time to pull out a vial from the bag in one of her hands.
“Come… Join us Susan, be our Queen.” The look in the woman’s reptilian eyes was
a look of drunken arousal, if she still had the capacity her cheeks would have
been blushed and her eyes fogged and unfocussed. Cupping the woman’s cheek in
her hand, Alicia nuzzled into it when Susan presented the vial to her. “What’s
that?”
“Drink it, it’ll clear your head.”
Doing as she was told; Alicia unstopped the vial and drank
its contents. The moment she did, her eyes suddenly went sharp, shaking her
head to clear the cobwebs, Alicia looked around in confusion as if she had just
sobered up from a night of heavy drinking. “W-what happened? What have I been
doing?” Looking up at Susan Storm, Alicia Masters was a little taken back to
see that the she-creature had given herself a pair of antlers that gnarled and
arched around her face and tentacles, like a headdress or crown. “Suzie? What’s
with the new look?”
Sighing in relief, Susan hugged the confused woman and
handed her several vials with her many hands. “I did some research… The bad
news is I can’t fix us, but the good news is I think I can put the worse of our
nature in its place, help be give this to our kids and HOPEFULLY we wont need
to bring a mop down here to clean up.”
Nodding sheepishly, Alicia began distributing the drug along
with Susan to the rest of the hive. One by one each of the creatures was
medicated. Alicia started with Greg, Carl and Steve, finding that they openly
accepted the vials and drank them, a sudden clarity going over them as the
gnawing ache in their loins died out.
Susan distributes drug to her ‘younger’ children, the ones
freshly hatched and completely feral. Prepping one vial, Susan was almost
caught off guard when one stomped up to her and pulled her close, his barbed
cock thumping against her inner thigh before she caught him by the neck and
pushed him away. “No…” Using one of her free hands to administer the serum even
as it hissed and growled at her. When the drug took root, the male creature
stopped, standing listless as if it had absolutely no idea what to do. By the
time she had completely administered the tonic to all her current children,
Susan found herself surrounded by her hive who for the first time looked to her
for guidance utterly.
She almost had to shake her head at the sight, did
procreation take up the entirety of their being? Moving up to one of her
children, she gently checked him over, tilting his head, checking his reptilian
eyes, all the while there was no aggression in his hunched composure. It was
seeing the before and after of turning a vicious timber wolf into a
domesticated beagle; calm, docile, totally dependant. “Well… It’s a start, but
at least this is something I can work with.”
Moving away, she bent down and pulled free a bundle of
clothing she brought with her and tossed them to Alicia. “I brought you some
spare cloths, I hope they fit, almost none of my old cloths fit me anymore.”
“Why’s that?” Alicia asked innocently, looking over the
clothing before looking back at Susan in all her 6’3 stature getting dressed.
“Oh…”
Breathing slowly and reverting to her human form, Susan
began to get dressed, pulling on her Fantastic Four uniform which thankfully
stretched to fit. Even so, it clung to her body and accentuated her long
athletic legs, firm physique and healthy curves. Pulling free her long blonde
hair to flow out behind her back, Susan patted herself down to remove any
wrinkles. Breathing deeply again, the all too familiar voice in the back of her
psyche that taunted and cajoled… Was now completely livid!
"You think you can just hold off your nature with
drugs? it won't last!"
Smiling to herself, the Invisible Woman handed another
bundle of clothing to her eldest sons, the trio looking over the garments
before putting them on. For the others, Susan passed books to her younger
children, watching intently as they absorbed and soaked up pages worth of information,
force feeding an education in seconds what would take a human over a decade.
Giving Alicia instructions on how to handle any newly hatched adults with the
sack of vials she brought down with her, Susan returned to the elevator to head
back to the top of the skyscraper. Leaning against the chrome wall, her smile
widened as the inner voice fumed.
"You think you've put out the fire? All you've done is
make a powder keg, and I can't wait to see your face when it goes off!"
Hugging herself gently, Susan’s smile never left her lips. “You’re
angry… You’re angry because I finally hurt you.” Hearing silence, Susan
continued. “I’m taking my life back, and now that I know I can, you can’t stop
me.”
“You can NEVER go back to your old life, that woman is gone,
there is only the swarm… And you know that!” Shrugging off the looming
statement, Susan stepped out of the elevator and gasped at the sight.

“Ah… You’ve arrived Susan Storm, excellent.”
Victor Von Doom had invaded the Richard’s apartment, the
living room had been smashed to shambles and her friends and family left unconscious
on the floor. Victor, in his chrome polished armor and dark green cloak held an
unconscious Reed Richards in his grip while several of his doom bots hovered
outside the windows which had been blown out from his entrance and attack. Each
one was different, each designed it seemed to deal with an ability the
Fantastic Four had and could counter; with freezing weapons, impact gel armored
carapaces and concussive sound cannons, and each of them were modelled after
their creator either in likeness or silhouette.
“REED!”
The moment Susan stepped out of the elevator, several of
Victor’s Doombots took aim at her before Dr. Doom raised a hand and they
lowered their arms.
“I have lost all patience in this matter Susan; I have come
to take you away from all this, you were better suited by my side than this human
rubber band.” Hoisting Reed further away from himself, his Doombots changed
their attention to the still and silent Reed, still hanging from the scruff of
his uniform, where several targeting lasers aimed at his face. “Come with me,
and I will spare them.”
Looking down at her brother and Ben Grimm unconscious on the
floor and her two children Valaria and Franklin bound in steel cables and unconscious
at the far corner in the room, a rage bloomed in Susan she never knew she could
feel, her skin dimpling as she tried with all her might not to change right
then and there. “If I go with you, do you promise not to harm them?”
“No! But I offer you this, now, before I change my mind.”
Her nostrils flaring, Susan slowly nodded and stepped
forward to join him. Her eyes darting to her husband being dropped unceremoniously
to the floor as Doom called his transport. The green and chrome metal flying
machine lowered into view and lowered a platform for the two to walk and enter
the vehicle while the Doombots kept their aim at the Richards family and
entered the vessel also.
Looking out the gate of the ship as it closed, Susan’s last
image was her unconscious family… And what she planned to do to Victor Von Doom.
