Rise and Fall of Superheros ~ Closed ~

[katalynn]

Hi, my name is Faeliea.

It has been nearly a month since the disappearance of my sister, Kayleen and within that month, much as happened. First, the love of my life decided to betray me, killing one of my very best friends out of jealousy. Which lead me to wonder how true she was, to the point of not even knowing if the name she gave is a real name or not. To make it worse, I found this truth out on the night I had planned on proposing to her. Naturally, that proposal never happened, instead I’m the one that gets stuck with hunting her down and letting justice do its work on her.

However, I never did that, I never wanted to go hunt down the love of my life like that. Instead, I fell into quicksand and simply kept sinking deeper with no way out. Shortly after the events with my ex-girlfriend, I found out that my sister had disappeared and has been gone for nearly a month now. During that time, I also lost our mother, which now that I think on it, sister wasn’t there at all. At the time, I didn’t put any thought into as I was very close to mother, and it was a devastating loss for me. From that point on, I fell deeper into the quicksand and basically disappeared from the world.

Being a superhero, I was the face of this city and everyone always came to me for help of some kind. Kayleen was the opposite, she stayed out of the spotlight as it does cause a lot of drama and no privacy at all. It was certainly that way for me. My reputation fell as the rumors started to fly high, talk of me turning to drugs and drowning myself in the bottle… The second rumor isn’t wrong, I did turn to the bottle for a time. Drugs however, I would never do such a thing…

A few days ago, a random portal opened in one of the districts. It is typically my job to go investigate these portals. They are meant to have some kind of identifying marker on them to show where the portal is from. This one however, had no identifying marker on it. Which is why I was alerted about the portal in the first place. Although, with all that I have been through recently and just now finding about my sister… I had decided to ignore this portal and go in search of Kayleen.

Little did I know that one random portal is the one that brought Kayleen back. Or at least someone that looks like her. I had gone for a walk the night the portal opened, I had to clear my head a bit and decided to go to mother’s grave. This is where Kayleen had shown herself to me, although she most certainly looks like Kayleen, there was something a little off about her. Either way I was more than happy to have her back, whatever her journey had been, I took that as the reason for this…. Off feel about her. For now, I decided to ignore it, pretend like nothing is different.

We decided to grab a bit to eat and was having a peaceful catching up chat when some fools decided to stir up some trouble. It was more than obvious that I wasn’t in the mood to deal with them, so Kayleen went to take care of them for me. As I sat there, I could hear the yelling, the cussing of a group of men, a few thud sounds and some garbage cans crashing to the ground. They were clearly putting up a good fight, however, it is simply a warm-up for Kayleen.

Before she left me though, she had done something that she has never done before… She kissed me. Not a sisterly kind of kiss either, a full blown, on the lips kind of kiss. For a moment while she was off dealing with the scumbags, I was left sitting there shocked by the simple action. There’s no way it could mean anything, yet the way her soft hands held my face in that moment… then her soft lips kissing mine… I can’t deny that there was a spark from it on my end of the kiss. Obviously, I didn’t have time to react to it either. I wasn’t quite sure of what to think… I also can’t deny that it felt good too. My one greatest weakness is kissing and… after that one tiny teaser of a kiss… I wanted more…

Yet, she is my sister… I’ve never thought of Kayleen that way. The more I think about that kiss and her, being in the light of the diner, I realized that her hair and eyes are a different color. Sure, she could be wearing contacts and could have dyed her hair. That didn’t sound like something she would do though…

 

[JadeKnight]

My name was Jacob Rider, former billionaire and superhero. I had been a successful superhero known as Masked Rider Zero until things came crashing down around me. An ancient virus had escaped from a newly discovered arctic animal, devastating the world's population. It was only with Doctor Doom's help that a handful of survivors were able to escape though one of his devices that could create a portal between dimensions.

As far as I knew, I was the only one to end up in the current dimension. However, things did not go quite as I planned or could have foreseen. I had ended up in a completely new body and some extra items. Kayleen, the woman I had ended up in went through a few changes as well in the combining. Our merging had turned us into a shemale, but we seemed to have the same power of magnetism. The merger of powers seemed to make them even stronger, though we did not get to test them. My metal suitcase with my super suit came with me, but there was also a small purse. It was filled with cash, along with a variety of cards for all the superheros and villians of this dimension.

When I ran into Faeliea, my mind and Kayleen's mind had started to slowly merge together. I was beginning to understand that Kayleen had a little crush on her sister, but never did anything about it. I also learned that she had actually died horribly while on some sort of research trip. Taking advantage of the state of my now sister, we went to enjoy some late night ramen to talk things out. That was interrupted by a stupid little gang fight in a nearby alley. Leaving my sister with a surprise kiss on the lips, I took care of the problem.

Unlike normally when I was fighting crime, I was feeling a true rush of adrenaline as I beat up the gang members. I left them bloody and wrapped up in some trash cans and other metal parts for the police to deal with. As I walked back to the lone ramen cart, I wondered if Faliae would like my new outfit. It seemed that it was a new design her sister had been working on and wanted to show off. Although it was a bit splattered with blood, it didn't take away from the appearance.

I smile inside the mask as I tapped her shoulder lightly.

"Those creeps are all taken care of. Oh, what do you think of my new outfit? I came up with it while I was traveling."

I step back a little, doing a little twirl to show off beneath the streetlights.

 

[katalynn]

I got lost in my thoughts while Kyleen dealt with the scumbags. I thought about everything that took place over the last few weeks. It may have only been a month, yet, it feels like it's been at least a year. It still amazes me at quickly my reputation in this city took a turn, one moment I was highly respected, everyone looked up to me for guidance. In the next moment, I may as well have been replaced by another superhero.

Then there is Kyleen, my sister. The little things simply weren't adding up, like where as she been all this time? I knew she wanted to go off on some research project. Although, admittedly, she never once told me exactly what it was about, only that she would be back in a few days. Then when she does come home, she has a whole new look and some unknown portal opened up in the same night. Shaking my head, I sighed, trying to convince myself that it is nothing. That i'm overthinking on the little details more than I should be.

The tap on my shoulder caused me to jerk a little, only to smile when seeing Kyleen sneaking up behind me.

"I love it. I remember you showing me rough drafts of the design. It loos beautiful on you."

I giggled softly at the twirling, however, something about her caught my attention. It could be the lighting playing tricks on me as well, but I could have sworn I saw a hint of a bulge between her legs. For obvious reasons, I didn't want to keep staring also when she stopped, the dress part of the outfit hid any sign I thought I saw. I smiled all the same, believing it's just the lights and me being tired.

"I also love the new look of your hair and eyes. I never thought you were into dying your hair and wearing contacts.."

I turned for a moment to ask for the food to be boxed up and then my attention went back to her.

"You know, you didn't have to stash your things in a nasty trash can. I could have watched it for you.."

I teased with a soft smile, a smile I haven't had in awhile. I take the bag with the food and stood up..

"Let's go home, get you cleaned up and I'm sure you could use some rest after all that traveling you've done recently."

 

[JadeKnight]

I smile inside the mask at hearing her praise for my outfit. Though she can't see my face, I do raise an eyebrow at the suggestion that I dyed my hair and wore contacts. I don't believe they are like that, but that is something I would have to figure out once we got back to the house. It doesn't feel like I was wearing contacts though.

"Oh, it's alright. I made sure the trash can was empty and clean before putting them in. I'll remember that for next time though."

I giggle for a moment before stepping back a little bit. I float into the air about a foot before pulling apart the pieces of my suit and reforming them into flat pieces so they could go back into the suitcase, leaving me in my street clothes once more before dropping to the ground gently.

"A nice hot shower and a warm bed sounds good right now. "

I move to the trash can, pulling out my purse and suit case before nestling the outfit inside and locking it with a click. Since my hands are full, I move back to her, offering my arm so we could walk to together. I really don't say much on the way home, just enjoying the company of my sister.

"Do you still want to head out of town for a few days? And where do you want me to crash?"

I ask with a smile for a moment as we arrive at the door of her apartment.

 

[katalynn]

As we walked, I kind of let Kayleen do the leading without thinking too much on where our feet were taking us. The silence allowed me to drift into my own world once again, only this time I couldn't stop glancing over her. I simply couldn't place what was different about her. The overall attitude is pretty much the same, she always did take care good of me, especially when I get lost like I am now. Other than the difference in her hair and eyes, there is a very light difference in the tone of her voice too. It's nothing anyone else would notice, yet growing up with her, I was able to notice it.

When we stopped and she spoke up, breaking into my thoughts, I looked to see where we were and I just smiled.

"That's right... You were gone when I moved. Here, follow me.."

I took one of her bags to free up a hand so I can hold it we walked down an alley. I glanced around to make sure no one is following us, I waved a hand over one of the bricks, a soft green glow came from my fingertips and I spoke a few words. Soon the one brick began glowing green, then another, followed with another until the bricks opened up into a pathway.

"I had found the very last island of this part of the world, just sitting there, doing nothing. I had heard rumors of it, never thought it to be true until I went searching for it."

Taking her hand and leading her through the tunnel, at first it remained dark and behind us the wall started to close up. I spoke a few more words in a dead language, slowly the cracks in-between the bricks started to glow green, creating a path. We walked a little further into the tunnel when a vehicle came zooming towards us, not touching the ground and it glowed green as well. I took her bags and set them in the vehicle.

"This is my new toy, it has gone through many changes since you last saw my drawings of it."

I smile, taking her hand again and following in behind her as we settled in the seats, with a wave of my hand, the vehicle began moving again. During this entire time, I had been thinking of her question. As the vehicle moved along, I remained silent for a couple of moments before speaking.

"Yes, I do wish to leave the city for a few days. Perhaps longer, I haven't decided yet. It has been quite sometime since I've taken a road trip and went sight seeing. See what has changed over the years, I've been so busy with protecting the city that I never have time for myself these days."

Soon the stone of the tunnel turned into glass, showing that we are traveling beneath the water now. Another few minutes and we can see my new home through the glass as it moves upwards and begins to slow down to a stop.

"You can pick any room you desire, they are upstairs and all have a private bathroom with jacuzzies. Make yourself at home, there's plenty of food as well."

As we walk into the living room area, there is a pile of boxes in a corner, a couple of boxes on the couch half full, what is clearly my ex-girlfriends things spread all over the living room.

"Don't mind the mess though, I'm still getting it all packed up.."

 

[JadeKnight]

I whistle softly for a moment at the sight of the car, liking it very much.

"You did a wonderful job on it. I can't wait to ride in it."

Climbing into the car, I wiggle a little at the plushness of the seat. I can't tell what type of material it is, but it conforms quietly nicely around me. I have hear my sister agreeing to my idea of taking a trip, mesmerized as we move from under the city and into the water. Although I had been in a car plenty, I had never been in one while underwater. It was a bit of a rush at just how close to danger we were. Not that I had constantly been close to danger in what i normally did on a daily basis.

Her house is just as amazing, though it did seem to be overkill for one person. Although who was I to say anything, my place had been just as lavish.

As we walk into the living room, I give a little giggle.

"I'm surprised you have the mess. Don't you have a maid or team of them to clean up somehow?"

I take my purse and suitcase from her before giving her a gentle kiss on the lips for a moment.

"I'll go get cleaned up and might come back down to see what food you have around."

Moving upstairs, I move from door to door before picking the third door I came to. I really don't pay attention as the door doesn't close completely behind me by a couple of inches. My bags get tossed on the large bed before I move to the closet. A trail of discarded clothing is left from the closet to the bathroom where I hang up the silk bathrobe I had pulled out to wear after the shower, the bathroom door slightly open as well. I whistled softly at the jacuzzi shower stepping into it.

"This will be nice."

As I turn on the hot shower jets, I begin to wash my body with some sweet smelling bodywash. I begin to sing a little as I shower. It seems to be a song that Kayleen knew as a child that she would often sing in the shower as well. After lathering up, I slowly turn around in the shower so everything got rinsed off before switching on the bath and having a soak.

 

[katalynn]

I smirked at the idea of having maid.

"For as nice as that sounds.. the idea of some stranger touching my things sounds horrible!"

I laughed while watching her her head upstairs. I've never looked at her in any way other than my sister. Yet, I couldn't take my eyes off the way her hips moved with each step. The soft sway of her hair caressing her back. All I could think about is touching her... which only reminded me of the kiss.

Biting my lower lip, shaking my head.. i can't... shes my sister. Taking in a deep breathe to calm my thoughts. I head into the kitchen to fix up something simple. Considering we just ate not too long ago, I didn't think she would be hungry enough to come back down. I smiled thinking of a treat. Pulling out some icecream, cutting bananas into slices... getting all the fixings for banana splits.

At first i was just going to wait to see if she would return. Then i looked at the living room, I really didn't want to stay in this room with mess. With that, i set everything on a tray on proceeded upstairs. Smiling when hearing her singing, she did have a beautiful voice. I followed her voice to the room she chose.

It surprised me to find the door slightly open, as I peeked in, I watched a reflection of her settling down into the tub, which hid everything from site. Again, biting my lower lip silently calling her a tease.

Regaining my composure, I lightly knocked on the door, letting it slowly open more. Waiting until the water shut off before calling out..

"Mind if I come in? I brought some icecream if you want any.."

 

[JadeKnight]

I give a little giggle as I hear my sister calling to me from my room. I don't reply for a moment, letting my hands floating on the surface of the bubbling, warm water. The bubbles break up the surface tension just enough that she wouldn't be able to see clear at all of my body. I wonder if I should reveal the new changes to her just yet, or wait a little longer. I decided to play a tease a little longer.

Shifting around so that my knees are on the bottom of the tub and the middle of my breasts are cut off by the water, I reached for the door. Pulling it open, I smile out to her.

"Ice cream sounds wonderful. Although, eating it here in the warm water will make it melt faster."

I smile teasingly for a moment.

"Maybe you should come and feed me. The water feels so good right now that I don't want to come out."

I reached back and upped the temperature a little more, crossing my arms on the edge of the tub before resting my chin on them to watch what she does.

 

[katalynn]

I just grinned at the idea of feeding her.

”Just like you to come up with an excuse like that.”

I giggled while walking into the bathroom, pulling a little tv tray I tend to use while in the bath, I had one in every room. Setting the tray down on it and moving next to the tub, making myself comfortable on the floor.

”I suppose you are right though.“

I say with a giggle, thinking of how wonderful you were making the bath look. I take a spoonful of of ice cream and just for my own amusement I brought it to her lips.

”As for the mess in the living room. I wouldn’t want a maid to touch that. Its my ex’s and it’s going into the storage for now..”

I gave a weak smile while scooping up a bite for myself while she finishes hers. I also reached over to a cupboard on the side of the sink, pulling out some chilled red wine and two glasses.

“A little something extra..”

I giggled and opened the bottle, pouring it into both glasses…

 

[JadeKnight]

I mmm softly as I take the mouthful of ice cream, pulling back slowly as I clean the spoon. I giggle and smile as I lick my lips.

"Strawberry, my favorite. You spoil me sis."

I feel a twinge of jealousy for a moment as you mentioned about your ex. However, since she is out of the picture, I can push it aside.

"Oh nice."

I watch her pour the wine before picking a glass up carefully. I reach it forward, rubbing the chilled glass against her right cheek teasingly before taking a sip. I do wonder what you think about my flirting, but don't say anything.

"Then it's settled. We'll go to the cabin and spend a few days there, just the two of us. I am feeling a little tired after all of today's excitement, so I'll go to bed shortly. We can pack and head out first thing."

I smile before parting my lips for another spoonful of ice cream.

 

[katalynn]

For some reason I felt the heat rising straight to my cheeks as I felt kiss of the glass on my cheek. Then watching her take the second bite. There is something in the way she licked the spoon clean. That teasing twinkle in her eye…. I never thought I would be in this position…. Whatever this position is…

I did find curious when she “Oh nice” to the news of my ex. However, sis never did like her to begin with. In fact she warned me bout her a few times. Yet, my love and lies I was fed caused me to be blind towards those warnings.

All I can do now is smile, and apparently, blush brightly as I spoon fed my sister…

“Sounds like a wonderful plan. It sounds like you had a rough trip. Hey, that reminds me.. Did you return here through a portal? One opened up tonight in District 5, it didn’t have a security code on it. Only reason I ask is because of the coincidence of events. I have to report it.”

I continue to feed her, somehow it became relaxing. Could be simply because she’s finally home, perhaps the scented steam of the bath. I’m sure the wine has a tiny bit of play in it too….Whatever the cause, it’s clear that I’m far more relaxed than compared to earlier…

”You know how Steve gets with unsecure portals…”

I laughed as we finished up the ice cream…. Finishing off my first glass while making eye contact with her over the rim of the glass. The blush seemed to return in that moment…

 

[JadeKnight]

I giggled softly as I saw the effect I was having on my sister. Well, it was a start in getting things going in the right direction. I pursed my lips for a moment as she mentioned about the portal, wondering if I should tell the truth. Well, there really wasn't a reason that I couldn't tell her the truth.

"Yes, that was me. There were a few technical problems on the other side, so there was no way to really work in a security code. And Steve will get over it. Way too uptight sometimes."

I licked my lips slowly after finishing the last bite of ice cream. After finishing off the glass of wine, I smiled to her. I leaned forward after I sat the glass down on the tray, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead.

"Thank you for the ice cream and wine. The company made everything even sweeter."

I winked playfully for a moment before laying back down. I yawned for a moment, covering my mouth with a hand before smiling.

"Why don't you get everything cleaned up so we can go to bed?"

I smile as I wait for her to gather the dishes up, watching till she left the bathroom. Waiting just a few moments longer, I turn off the Jacuzzi and drain the tub. I dried off carefully, hanging the towel up beside the door. Looking through the closet, it took me a few moments to find a nightie that i liked. Once I crawled into bed, it only took a few moments before I was sound asleep.

Since we weren't really in any hurry to get up, I didn't even bother to set an alarm. As it was, it was the morning sun streaming through the window that woke me up. After getting dressed for the day, I dug into packing for a few days at the cabin. With the slow merging of memories, I knew that it was the middle of summer and the area would get pretty hot. It took me a few minutes to pack everything I felt was needed, including a little surprise for later. I even packed a bathing suit, but knew I would have to wait for the right time to wear it.

Once everything was packed, I grabbed my purse, outfit suitcase, and packed suitcase before heading out to the living room.

"Are you all packed and ready sis?"

 

[katalynn]

I smiled as she finished the treat and then saying how tired she is. I had idea what her journey was like, yet it seems like things had so bad, she needed an emergency portal.

“Yea, sleep sounds good. You gave a good night.“

I gathered everything up and headed out, stopping at the door for a moment, looking back.

”It is good to have you home sis. I have missed you. Sweet dreams..”

Then I left the room, closing the door behind me. I didn’t go to bed though, my thoughts were too troubled. I did clean up the kitchen and dishes. Took a long hot shower myself, packed up a few things for the trip then headed downstairs, putting the bags near the door. Wrapping the midnight blue silk robe around a matching top and shorts set.

I didn’t want to leave the living room like this, I certainly didn’t want to come home to it either. I sent a quick email to Steve, explaining the portal, or at least what I knew of it. I cleaned up the mess, packing everything of my ex’s into boxes, piling them up into a corner. Leaving an email to a trusted friend to come pick them up, with instructions of where to take them.

I only laid down on the couch for a moment. Yet, morning came and I’m passed cold, curled up on the couch. My face buried into the back of the couch to keep the light out. Back facing outward, one leg exposed since the robe slipped over the edge of couch. Because it ended up being such a late night, I crashed hard and never heard her calling out me as I slept...

 

[JadeKnight]

I laugh softly at seeing the state of my sister on the couch. I shake my head for a moment, letting her lie there for a little longer. I grabbed my bags and hers, setting them out by the car to be loaded later. Heading back inside, I paused for a moment beside the couch. I grin for a moment before giving her ass a hard smack for a moment before heading into the kitchen.

I really hadn't planned on breakfast, but my stomach was growling at me. Letting my sister to her own devices, i hummed as I moved through the kitchen area, gathering up ingredients. It isn't long before I have some bacon, omelets, and orange juice laid out on the bar for us to eat.

"Come and eat lazy."

 

[katalynn]

I’m dead to the world, brain refuses to wake up as the dreams start to pick up more. However, these dreams weren’t like any dream I’ve had before. They were of my sister. They started out innocent enough, only to get more intense….. Sexually…. Of all things. The strange part of the dream is that she had a cock!!!

Just when things in the dream were getting …. Interesting… A hard slapping sound, followed by burning and stinging instantly woke me up..

“What… The? That hurt!!”

I glared at my sis considering she’s the only here. Rolling my eyes when watching her walk off. I could only groan, rolling over to protect my ass from another smack. I did close my eyes, though didn’t really go back to sleep. mostly thought about that strange dream for a couple minutes. All the while listening to sis in the kitchen.

Eventually I did get up, sticking my tongue out at her while heading to my room to freshen up. Changing into some simple jeans and loose purple tank top. Making my way back down to sit at the table.

”This looks good sis. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a real breakfast.. I normally jump straight to lunch..“

I laugh, only to give a little glance between her legs as she moved to the table. It was a quick glance, not nearly enough to see anything.. then, that look turned into a smirky glare..

“ ya know, you didn’t have to smack my ass so hard. I can still it burning..”

sticking my tongue out again..

 

[JadeKnight]

I grinned and rolled my eyes when she complained about the smack to her ass. It's wasn't really that hard of a smack. I watched her head out of the living room to get dressed. While she got dressed, I placed everything on the dining room table.

"Well, if you cooked more often, then you wouldn't have to worry about skipping meals."

I didn't notice her glance towards my crotch, the thick skirt hiding things pretty well for the time being. I smirked as she complained once more about the smack.

"Oh quit complaining about it. I didn't do it that hard, and it was the only way to wake you. It was also a pretty tempting target."

I wink playfully as I sat down before starting on breakfast.

"Oh, I already put our bags in the...what is that thing called anyway?"

 

[katalynn]

I stick my tongue out playfully at her comment. Only to smirk slightly at the question..

"First, I cook all the time, I just haven't been in a breakfast mood is all.. Secondly, It's still a car, just severely upgraded. I've been talking with a few dealers about producing it for sale to the public."

I took a few bites, thinking about the actual name for it, a brand. Then I shrugged, finishing my plate off..

"It doesn't have an official brand name yet, I had a few ideas, but none of them really fit.. perhaps you can help with that.. You were always good with naming things."

I got up, drinking off the rest my juice and went to clean up the kitchen. It's the least I can do since she did the cooking.

"I'm pretty much ready when you are, just need to do a couple quick things and we can be outta here."

 

[JadeKnight]

I smile and give a nod at her suggestion of having me come up with a name.

"Well, I wouldn't say that's too much of a tall order for me to do. I should be able to come up with something while we're at the cabin then."

I finished up my own breakfast and juice before setting the dirty dishes in the sink for her. Before I head out, I give her a playful hip bump and another light smack on the ass.

"I'll be waiting outside in the car then. Just don't take too long or I might have to punish you."

I give her a little kiss on her cheek before heading out to the car. I do go to the car and open the doors, but don't get in yet. Instead, I move to the railing, leaning against it as I take in the view and hum quietly.

 

[katalynn]

I smile at the kiss, typically I wouldn’t think anything of it. This time however, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. She seems to a bit more flirty than she used to be. Normally she’s pretty quiet and sticking to herself. Sure, sis has always been playful in her own way, yet with me at least, never flirty. All this teasing kissing, especially the one last night at food stand… I really had to wonder what has gotten into her.

I sighed, shaking my head while finishing up the kitchen. I made one last round through the house, shutting curtains and turning lights off. I wasn’t too worried about fools breaking in, for one it’s difficult to get to… second, my security system has a mind of it’s own if you don’t know how to handle it.

Once, I had everything all set, grabbing a small handbag of last minute things I forgot last night. Then headed out, smiling when seeing sis. I’m not sure why I chose to do it, but when walking past her, I lightly glided my hand across her ass.

”Beautiful view isn’t?“

I say softly, tho I don’t stop walking and went straight to the car, glancing up to watch her. Almost like noticing her true beauty for the first time. Of course she’s always been beautiful….. just in a sisterly kind of way. The colors of the rising sun brought out a different kind of beauty in her…

“Well, you coming sis?”

I giggle as I got into the drivers seat…

 

[JadeKnight]

She had taken so long, well it technically wasn't a long time, that I had almost zoned out looking out over the water that she caused me to jump a little. I did grin for a moment as I felt her light touch across my ass, feeling that my flirtations were being rewarded.

"Of course I am."

I smile before climbing into the passenger seat and closing the door. I buckled up for the ride before settling back. As the ride goes a long, I divide my attention between looking outside and looking over at my sister.

"It's been awhile since I was at the cabin, even longer for the two of us. Has anything changed since then?"

 

[katalynn]

I kept trying to push back the questions I wanted to ask. Your return and what little information you have provided left me with more questions. You said something about having to leave in a hurry, there was no time for a proper portal. I wanted to know why and to ask what happened in the other realm. Is it a threat for this world? Did something follow you back to here that is a threat?

Hearing your voice broke the silence and I ended up shrugging the concerns off for now. There is plenty of time of time for such questions later and if there is a threat... it will be dealt with whether I'm there or not.

"Honestly it's been awhile for me too. I doubt a whole lot as changed tho. Most likely just overgrown by now. Nothing we can't handle though."

I smirked and smiled at you for a moment before turning my attention back to the road. Surprisingly the traffic was starting to slow down. Which is odd for this early.

"Must be an accident or construction up ahead. Normally there is little traffic on this road..."

I sighed with a bit of disappointment as I just wanted to get out of here.

"Tell me about your adventures? I always like hearing bout your travels. I'm always stuck here in this boring place. Find anything new on your research?"

I wasn't going to ask bout the grand details, but I have always enjoyed your stories. I've wanted to go with you more than a few times, yet work kept me here.

"You know bout all my boring drama.. not much is new really. It seems you had quite the trip though. Returning with a new outfit and you seem to be a bit more perky than normal..."

 

[JadeKnight]

I was quiet as I looked out at the window at traffic, listening to what happened to the cabin. Part of me wasn't surprised by the news, since I, or rather the merging consciousness of Kayleen was telling me. A shiver ran through my for a moment, the typical cold chill like someone had walked over your grave as the old saying went. Her request to tell what happened with Kayleen or myself made me a little nervous.

I wondered if I should tell how the world where I came from, how I caught the deadly virus, or to keep silent about that. I wasn't even sure if i had caught the damn thing, and if I was asymptomatic if I had. I was just uncertain on that at this point. The virus had been devastating on those who had caught it.

"Well, I had gone to see Doctor Star at her Arctic base to see what new ways I could improve my abilities a few months ago. I got so involved in the training that i lost track of time. Well, I'm not sure when, sometime during my training a unmarked portal opened up. After talking with Doctor Star, we decided to go through and investigate things."

I looked away for a moment as another chill went along my spine for a moment before stopping. That was partially true, but that was also the part of the story where Kayleen and Doctor Star died when a cosmic horror of a creature came through a different portal. There had been a terrible battle between the three before the creature engulfed the whole base and disappeared with the three, leaving no trace behind. Kayleen's spirit ended up merging with me at my cross-over.

"I ended up in a world like ours, but they weren't quite as advanced in their technology. They were still using fuel based vehicles if you can believe it."

I laugh for a moment to try and grinning.

"There were all kinds of supers like us, one of whom helped me redesign my suit. It was a pretty chaotic place, constant wars, economic problems, and not as peaceful as our world."

I listened quietly to my sister, it is more than obvious that there is more to her story which only fed into my doubts and curiosity. All I could do is smile and accept her story as a ‘good enough for now’ type moment.

“In truth, things haven’t been all that peaceful here. A couple weeks ago there was an explosion at the prison island. A bunch of the prisoners had died in the process, along with the guards there. Most of them were caught again instantly before they could get too far, some prisoners were swept up in the waves of the storm that night. Hard to say how many survived that storm. Then of course, a good handful of them were able to escape. A few of the old gangs have reformed and causing petty crimes, beyond that, So far there has been no sign of them, but it’s only a matter of time. I know three of them will be hunting me down for sure…”

At this point the traffic slowed down to a crawl and there were a lot of honking and cussing from other drivers ahead. I flicked on a screen to see what was up ahead and come to find out it was a police blockade. With a heavy sigh and looking around for a second…

“I suppose a few petty criminals is nothing compared to constant war. However, I wouldn’t call this peaceful either.”

With a smirk, I flipped down a switch and the car vanished out of sight, another switch caused the vehicle to hover just above the other cars. With that, I went to the side and pushed forward until we were passed the whole mess. I thought about lowering back down to the road, yet, it’s not very often I get to use this vehicle and honestly, being invisible right now felt rather good.

“Fuel based vehicles uh? Too bad you weren’t able to help them catch up with the times, I’m sure you could of made millions off what you are capable of creating.”

I was quiet as I listened to her describe what had happened in the 'short' time I was gone. It felt much longer that that, even more so in dealing with whole merging I was going through. Having to deal with just petty criminals would be a nice change of pace for me. However, I had a little itching in the back of my mind to stir things up, at least ever since stepping through the portal. Even the secret I was hiding in my handbag helped add to that feeling.

"That would have been fun to do, but I really wasn't there long to be able to make such differences."

As we clear traffic and continue away, I look out at the landscape. It's not long before the hustle of the city is gone and we are over the clear blue sea. It shouldn't be much longer before we reach the island where the cabin is. I continue to watch the water before as dolphins play with each other, a couple of whales surface and dive once more as their water spouts erupt around the car.

"Who are these criminals that will be hunting for you? Perhaps I managed to have a little scuffle with them."

I reach over to her, squeezing her right thigh gently in my hand slowly.
