It appears that one of the creatures has found a way to alter himself into something closely resembling one of our shock troops. Fact transmissions remain uncertain about how it happened but the new powered individual identified as “Dragon Lady” has been involved. It is unclear if this indicates that the building creatures are aware of my surveillance and are preparing for what is to follow. On-site observation and even interaction is becoming more imperative. Data gathering for insertion plan is still ongoing and no plan has been selected as yet. \n\nEnd update report[/i]\n\nThe observer switched off his reporting device and turned his attention back to his monitors. He hadn’t mentioned it in his report but neither Dragon Lady nor this “Brute” had been seen since they’d exited the lab. His own monitors were having a difficult time locking into where they might be and this troubled him. Had he been asked, he would have answered it was duty that caused his concern but in the privacy of his own thoughts, even he wasn’t certain that that’s all it was.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning[/b]\n\n“Pardon my bad manners, Zeph-er, Ms. Mayor. Do you take anything in your coffee? Or do you even drink coffee?” Dr. York kept flitting about her kitchen. It looked a bit cluttered but everything was clean. \n\n“Black please.” Mayor Dakota Jackson answered, doing her best to shake the metaphorical cobwebs from her head. Dr. York’s bed next to Danielle had been comfortable enough but getting settled down enough to sleep had taken some time. First she needed explanations and assurances about what had happened to her friend in the first place. Once those had been satisfied, she tried to call Todd while Placid made her first examination of Gordon’s mutated state. Not being able to reach Danielle’s husband only made things more difficult for her to get some sleep but eventually the pronghorn allowed herself to slow down enough to doze for a while. Sleeping wasn’t so tough but getting going again could be problematic for her. The pronghorn gratefully accepted the cut and took a sip. It was like pouring gasoline on a fire and it didn’t take much to get Dakota going. “How is your cousin doing?” \n\n“Based on the preliminary results I’ve been getting, it appears that Dragon Lady’s aggressive, um, shall we say treatment worked and the formula is burned out of him. He won’t physically be changing any more than he already has. However, it appears that what changes have been made will mean a overproduction of semen and testosterone. Basically, he’ll be very horny and very virile until I can find a way to counteract that part of the change. What data I have is incomplete and I’m having to reverse engineer the formula from blood samples I’ve taken from him. I don’t have any of his original blood to work from so I’m having to use mine as a comparison and it will take the longer to come up with that way. Right now, he’s resting though he claimed not to be tired. I also looked in on Dragon Lady and she’s still sleeping. I wouldn’t be surprised if she does for most of the day.”\n\n“Wow, I do believe I understood all of that. Congratulations doctor for explaining something like this and not going right over my head doing it. And thank you for taking care of Dragon Lady and for your discretion. We- she cant’ exactly just head into the hospital for things like this. Too many forms and questions and tests. Not to mention you know my little secret.” The coffee was really beginning to kick in, making Dakota fidget for sitting a bit too long.\n\n“Well, she did help my cousin but beyond that, I think she’ll be capable of helping a whole lot more. I want to help her discover her abilities and her limits not so I can write some tell all book but because I believe she can help us all and maybe someday save our collective asses, Ms. Mayor.” The alligator beckoned to Dakota to come take a look at something. Grateful for even the little bit of activity, the pronghorn followed and found herself in a good sized space. Inside it resembled a museum with what appeared to be several lexan cubes. Many seemed to have their own climate control and others completely sealed to the outside. All contained something related to The Starfighters, the superhero group Dakota had belonged to.\n\n“I believed in what you and the other Starfighters did then, even after the big disaster. Now that I’m older, I still believe more than ever. And I want to believe in what she can do, not because I think we need a savior, but we do need something to aspire to, some level to strive for. She’ll be there well ahead of us if she isn’t practically there already.” The pronghorn looked right at Placid and could see the conviction of those words right in her eyes. “But I can hardly believe how cool it is you’re standing here. I’ve pieced together some things studying ever bit of data I could find and extrapolating others and plain guesswork but I still have so many questions.” Dakota rubbed her head waiting for the inevitable what was so and so like and how did it feel to kick so and so’s ass and who did she have the hots for but she motioned for the alligator to ask anyway.\n\n“I think the biggest one I’d really like to know is what was up with that fringe on your outfit? It seemed like it would create a lot of drag while you were running, get caught on things and be a general nuisance.”\n\n“Placid, honey, call me Dakota. I think we’re going to be great friends.”\n\n[b]Schuster Square Apartments #411, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning[/b]\n\nTrent awoke leaning against the doorway of the hallway bathroom in the apartment he shared with Leonora Stone. The lioness was still sleeping. Trent looked about then touched his mouth to find out what happened to his tongue. It was back where it belonged and he almost dismissed it as a dream but he pulled on it. The simple tug pulled out far more than it should have and Trent panicked for a second, wishing his tongue were right back where it had been. His tongue whipped out of his hand and right back into his mouth.\n\nThe okapi blinked then stuck his tongue out again so he could have another look at it. It was still that same odd purple-blue color it was last night after he had gone down on Leo. He thought for a bit, then tried touching his ear with his tongue. Something warm and wet tickled his ear and it flicked. At the same time he tasted his own ear and felt the short fuzz that covered it. He did the same with the other ear.\n\nThe okapi grinned around his still extended tongue and wondered what else he could do when he noticed the tent in his jeans. He undid his pants and pulled them down as best he could from his seat on the floor. Trent moved a bit so he was hunched over his own black erection and flicked his tongue over the head. He shivered as the slightly saline taste of his own precum registered in his brain at the same time the touch of his tongue had. Trembling in excitement, Trent wrapped his tongue around the head of his cock. Having licked his girlfriend clean numerous times after sex, he had an idea what his own cock tasted like but never so strongly or so intimately. The okapi wrapped his tongue around his entire length and stroked it a couple of times before intense embarrassment stopped him. After all there was an available pussy nearby and Leo loved it when he ate her out. \n\n“Aww c’mon honey. You were really onto something.” Trent looked up to see Leonora propped up on her elbows, a lustful grin on her face. Already her pussy was dripping at the sight of her boyfriend doing himself with his own tongue. “Jerk yourself off with your tongue, Trent.” Knowing there would be no way he’d get any pussy until he did what she wanted, the okapi went back to stroking his erection with his tongue. If asked, he would have compared it to having wet snakes wrapping around his dick but he could also feel and taste what the “snakes” were wrapped around. With such overwhelming stimulation, it wasn’t long before Trent popped and semen coated his tongue. Like the taste of his own cock, the taste of his semen wasn’t all that unusual to the okapi but he’d never experienced an orgasm like this and he made much more than the usual mess he did inside of Leo. He could also swear that he could practically feel some of the sperm wiggling on the surface of his tongue. \n\n“Well? Clean yourself up.” Trent withdrew his tongue and licked up the mess. After she had watched him lick every last dollop, Leonora rolled onto her hands and knees and lowered her chest to the floor. She raised her tail. The okapi’s cock perked up a bit and he drooled. “Gimme the deepest rimjob ever, lover! And maybe a couple of those electric shocks while you’re at it.” In an instant, Trent’s expression fell. Leo wasn’t the greatest at cleaning shit out of her fur.\n\nTrent got behind her and licked at the lioness’s anal pucker. To his surprise, she was fairly clean and she smelled strongly of the scent he loved most. He pushed his tongue inside of her to find her relatively clean inside too. He remembered the electric shock and just as he was wondering how to do it again, he gave her anus a slight jolt that made Leonora squirm and gasp. Emboldened by her reaction and not finding anything to ruin the mood so far, the okapi pressed deeper inside of her, zapping the lioness with slightly stronger shocks as he went. He worked his tongue in and out of her as if it were his cock, pumping the sphincter and zapping as he did. Finally, Leo clenched, roared and squirted all over his lower body. His erection twitched, making its needs clear. Trent eased his tongue out of Leo’s ass, then gave her enlarged clit a small jolt. Leonora shuddered. \n\n“Okay, honey, you earned it.”, she practically purred though big cats shouldn’t have been able to do so. “Fuck me!” Trent grinned and mounted her enthusiastically. This would be one fuck she wouldn’t forget. \n\n[b]Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning[/b]\n\n“I’m coming, dammit!”, Toni hollered as she kept struggling with getting her pants fastened. She wished she’d just tossed on some sweat pants instead. It was probably just her parents again. They had been so fussy last night and earlier this morning after bringing her home from the hospital late last night. “Honestly I’m fine! Can’t a woman take a piss in peace?”, she muttered under her breath. She finally got her button fly to catch and managed to waddle to the door. \n\n“Heya, sis!” Toni gasped and flung her large arms around her very tall older sister. “I saw the news and talked to mom and dad. I couldn’t get Todd or Danielle but I was headed here first anyway. How are you?”\n\n“I should be tired, Tori. You know how I get hauling this bulk around.” Toni jiggled her belly.\n\n“Toni baby, I wish you wouldn’t do that to yourself. You are a beautiful young woman.” Tori Dharken gave her sister a hug. “Someday I’ll see to it you see that for yourself.”\n\n“Yeah, well Dragon Lady and that Brute didn’t see things that way.” The younger rhoanthekan then related what had brought her to the lab, her discussion with Jodi on the way there, talking to Director Midland then getting trapped and the circumstances of her rescue. Tori listened intently, hugging her sister when she felt the younger woman needed it.\n\n“Well hon, it sounds like Dragon Lady had to do something about this Brute fellow.”\n\n“Hah, she could have flipped that table as easily as he did. It wouldn’t have taken her a couple of seconds where it took the security, fire and policemen two and a half hours.” Tori did have to concede that point. \n\n“At least you’re safe now. And what about this Director Midland? She sounded like she was interested in you.” The older rhoanthekan gently poked her sister’s belly. “All of you.”\n\n“I finally thought about that too while I was stuck for so long. I found her later at the hospital. By then all she could think about was that damn Brute. That was all most of them could do including Jodi for a while until she remembered her son.” Toni’s shoulders slumped. The older woman rested her chin against her sister’s cheek and gave her a kiss for support. \n\n“You know I love you.” Toni leaned into her sister. \n\n“Yes I do.” Tori was about to make a move that was sure to get her sister out of the dumps and into a whole new mood when the younger rhoanthekan straightened up. “OH!! I almost forgot. I found these notes. I know I shouldn’t have taken them but they looked too important to leave just lying around.” Toni fetched the notes and handed them to Tori. The older woman studied them for a few minutes while thinking of her sister’s story. Several things clicked into place.\n\n“Honey, do you mind if I stay with you while I’m in town?” Toni clapped her hands in delight and hugged Tori tightly. “Thanks. Is your computer still in your office? I’d like to have a look at these discs too.”\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – late morning[/b]\n\n“So what’s the fastest you’ve been able to cum, sweetie scales?”, Dakota asked, while fingering the young alligator’s pussy. Placid did her best to compose herself when the words “fast friends” flashed into her mind. The reptile woman giggled at the thought, then tried to focus again on the question.\n\n“Hmm, maybe 10 minutes? I was really horny and this snake girl did me at a garden party. Ohhh, her tongue…!” Placid sighed at the memories. She’d been tipsy at the time, very into this snake girl and it had been outdoors very near a large group of people. Somehow those thoughts melted into those of the past couple hours as she and the pronghorn had looked over her collection and talked. It hadn’t been long before Dakota had noticed that the alligator wasn’t wearing anything under her lab coat. Placid confided that she usually went about her lab naked, one of the major pluses of owning so much property so close to the city, that she very, very much preferred the company of women, and it had been far too long since the last one. It wasn’t long after that revelation that the scientist found herself naked on one of her living room sofas with an also naked pronghorn between her scaled legs asking questions about how quickly she could get off.\n\n“Mmm, not bad. So, fingers or tongue?” Dakota licked her lips, knowing which she would prefer.\n\n“Tongue.”, Placid whispered. No sooner had the word left her mouth than the older woman was lapping and nibbling at the alligator’s already flowing slit. Dakota attacked the reptile’s cooler, sensitive flesh and in perhaps two minutes, the young woman’s body twisted and writhed, wracked with orgasm after orgasm, a cycle the pronghorn kept her in for a good number of minutes.\n\nWhen Placid recovered her wits, the pronghorn planted a kiss on her snout. The alligator could taste herself on the mammal’s muzzle and tongue. As they kissed, Dakota took the reptile’s cool hand and slid it between her warm mammalian thighs. The cool digits slid up inside the slick, hot pussy and Placid worked them around as Dakota humped against her hand.\n\nWhen their lips parted, Dakota pulled off of the gator’s dripping hand and lay on her back, spreading her legs. Placid slipped in between those warm thighs and buried her snout in hot, dripping mammal cunt. Never in her wildest fantasies had the alligator dreamed she’d get to eat out her favorite superhero and she absolutely never imagined that Zephyr could taste so good. She lapped, licked and nibbled the delicious pussy and was soon rewarded with a juicy squirt of pronghorn cum followed by others until Placid’s face was dripping with Dakota’s release. The older woman sat up hugging Placid to her and licking some of her own cum off of the younger reptile’s glasses. \n\n“Damn! That was so good I could use a cigarette.”, Dakota sighed. Neither of the Dharkens had picked up the habit despite their parents having all smoked when the kids were younger – all except Bernard. The pronghorn almost laughed ruefully realizing he was the one that wasn’t around. “Nasty habit I know. One of the villains made me learn. He thought it made me look young yet mature. Used to give him a raging boner. Did you ever see a duck boner? I still can’t go to the guys side of The Pond. My mother had me keep it up.” The way Dakota said ‘mother’ made Placid curious but something about the tone also warned her not to ask. Instead, the alligator shifted opening a drawer in the cocktail table next to the sofa. She fished something out and handed it to Dakota. It was a package of the pronghorn’s favorite brand of cigarettes. Dakota looked at Placid.\n\n“My aunt. She taught some bad habits along with how to love a woman.” Dakota considered putting the pack back down. “I haven’t had a smoke in a while myself-“, the alligator continued, “-but like you said, that was so good I could really use one.” The pronghorn slid two cigarettes out of the pack and handed one to Placid. The alligator produced a lighter and lit Dakota’s. Before she could light her own, the pronghorn leaned close and lit hers with Dakota’s already lit cigarette. Both women took a drag as their bodies remembered how and exhaled. \n\n“Ohhh, not you too.”, Dakota groaned, seeing a magazine she’d rather have forgotten even existed in the drawer of the cocktail table. Placid was confused for a moment until she remembered what else was in the table. She grinned sheepishly. \n\n“Sorry. My aunt knew I was a fan. She bought me, um, several copies. I’m afraid I ruined a couple before I learned to masturbate after looking. I have few stored for safe keeping and scanned all of the pages a while back but I still like holding the real thing sometimes.” Dakota took out the alligator’s copy of the infamous magazine to find her younger self smiling back at her. The pronghorn flipped to the middle pages, uncharacteristically grinning at her own mostly naked body as she remembered posing, especially spreading her pussy for the photographer. She blushed as she also recalled the fucking he gave her afterward too, telling her she’d really been quite a tease.\n\n“I was underage when I did this. My mother made up some bullshit story about being my agent which really wasn’t far from the truth actually, probably one of the few times she wasn’t lying her ass off. She watched and she filmed me getting fucked by the photographer after the shoot.” Dakota said it all flatly, as emotionless as possible, but it answered a number of questions for the alligator. For a while, the pronghorn quietly flipped through the magazine while the pair smoked their cigarettes. Placid finished hers first and started fingering herself. When she moaned, Dakota looked at her, noticing the reptile was still covered in the lady mammal’s goo. Dakota put out her cigarette and took Placid’s in the ashtray that had been in the drawer.\n\n“Mmm, someone could use a shower. Have you ever been fisted while warm water pours over those lovely back scales?” Placid was about to answer that question when the pair was interrupted by someone clearing their throat from the doorway. Leaning naked in the doorway, Dragon Lady would have been the picture of perfection and temptation for the alligator except for the crossed arms blocking her perfect double D’s and the disapproving scowl on her face.\n\n“I didn’t have her call you just so you could get into her panties, Dakota. Do you really need to make it with everyone that has tits and a pussy? Wasn’t Zoe enough for you?” Placid perked up at that name.\n\n“Zoe? I know a Zoe. A punker pegasus uptown at the Pleasure Dungeon. She’s cute, kinky and good in bed bu-“ The scowl from Dragon Lady stopped her in mid-syllable though it was more directed at Dakota than her but the alligator still wished she had the power to shrink from sight. She settled for scrunching herself up against the pronghorn. \n\n“Look, Da- Dragon Lady, Zoe ended up going home with Melani, though for some reason they’d both still like to get to know you better. As for this young lady, she happens to be a fan of The Starfighers and mine-“, Dakota rose up defensively.\n\n“And you thought you’d ‘cash in’ on your past celebrity?” A thought occurred to Placid that hadn’t before and she silently cursed herself for not thinking of it earlier. \n\n“Uh, hey, I didn’t mean to stumble into the middle of a lovers’ quarrel here. If I slept with your woman, Ms. Dragon Lady, I am so sorry.\n\n“Her woman?” Dakota laughed. “I’m nobody’s woman but she’s married.” Both Placid and Dragon Lady managed to look hurt at that for differing reasons. “Look, the truth is she is married but she and her husband play around. They’re both really bi but love each other too much not to be married. And I love them too much to not be a part of their lives but I have commitment issues so I play around too, mostly with other lovely women like yourself, Placid. I just can’t help myself. Girls like you and Zoe are too damn cute not to play around with.”\n\n“Hmm, how about that shower?”, Placid asked without expecting an answer as she took Dakota’s arm. “You’re welcome to join us if you’d like to, Dragon Lady, but remember, I’m a big girl and can make my own decisions about who I fuck.” The alligator turned back to Dakota. “You mentioned something about fisting in a shower? I’ve had a few adventures but that sounds delightful. And you said her husband was bi. Does that mean he sleeps with other guys? Does he take it up the ass? I may be a lesbian but I’ve always wanted to see two guys going at it.” \n\nDragon Lady stopped listening as Placid’s voice faded and powered down again. She sat on the sofa and curled her legs up to her in something of a fetal position, wondering if she’d really blown it with Dakota this time and any chance she might have had with Placid too. She wasn’t crying but damn close to it and she felt so tired too. Then she wondered if her mother had ever had it this rough back in her super hero days, especially at the beginning when she’d been involved with Todd’s mom and dad before her own father had come along.\n\n[b]Schuster Square Apartment #411, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – late morning[/b]\n\nThings weren’t going Trent’s way at all. He tried fucking his girlfriend as hard as he could but she claimed it wasn’t enough for her. At her suggestion, he fisted her and went in much easier than he should have. He was in past his elbow when he realized that wasn’t going to do it for her either. He finally hit the shower for a cold one while Leonora called up one of the other women from work and jilled herself while they talked about that Brute guy. \n\nOnce in the shower, the okapi decided he didn’t want it nearly as cold as he thought he did. He still had a half-boner from trying to get nail his lioness earlier, who on second thought didn’t feel so much like his lioness now. He pondered stroking himself then remembered his trick in the hallway earlier that Leo had forced him into. He blushed fiercely but that orgasm had been so intense. He licked his lips and decided to try it again.\n\nHe snaked his tongue down to his cock. Just a touch was all it took for it to come fully alert and erect. He wound his tongue around his hard on, then put his hands against the wall and spread his legs as he’d seen numerous times on cop shows. He slithered his tongue around his balls pausing to savor the new taste sensation and finally snaked the tip back under his tail. Trent concentrated on stroking first, then on squeezing his balls gently and finally touched the tip of his tongue to his anus, zapping it with a slight electrical jolt. His body reacted immediately and his cock spasmed. With only a couple more very mild jolts, the okapi came hard against the shower wall. He fell against the wall, holding himself up and barely holding onto consciousness. He wound his tongue back up into his mouth, getting a taste of his own cream again. He paused deciding he really should clean up his mess and licked the dripping spunk up careful not to get a taste of soap scum with it. He thought to himself that this could be a decent fallback plan for a while just in case Leo did decide to dump him.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-day[/b]\n\nDanielle was still trying to get herself together when she heard a familiar ringtone. It was coming from Dakota’s coat hung over the back of a chair. Normally she wouldn’t mess with Dakota’s phone but that particular ringtone meant Todd was calling and right now she really needed to talk to him. \n\n“Hey honey.” She tried her best to sound calm and even.\n\n“Hi Dani. Are you okay? I had a message from Dakota that didn’t make a lot of sense but she seemed very concerned about you.” \n\n“Yeah, I-“ She paused knowing he’d know it was a lie. “Honey, do you think you could come home tonight? I really need you right now.” \n\n“Sure, love. I can be there. Is there anything I can do right now?” \n\n“Uh, do you suppose it could just be us for a while? Just for a bit. Dakota needs help too but I need you to myself for a bit.” \n\n“Sure thing, dear. Is everything okay between you and Dakota?” Danielle paused.\n\n“We’ll talk about that later if you don’t mind. I’d probably better go. I love you, Todd.”\n\n“Sure honey. I love you and I’ll see you tonight.” Dani ended the call and slid the phone back into Dakota’s jacket. She felt like she was betraying the pronghorn especially after her confession last night. Nor could she have known about the feelings Dani already had for Doctor York. The more she thought about the situation, the more she felt she should leave. She took out Dakota’s phone and typed in a message, then left it back in the coat. She went back to Placid’s bedroom, careful to avoid the shower, looked in on Gordon who was still resting, then looked about for her costume.\n\nShe could have flown home at super speed so no one would see her but she didn’t necessarily want to do so naked. In the bedroom, she found her costume folded up only when she picked it up, it wasn’t her costume. Looking closely, the fibers were carbon composite, no, better than carbon composites. She then noticed the note. It read, Thank you so much for helping Gordon. Placid (Dr. York). Danielle sighed and pondered reconsidering going but decided she really wanted to be home more than anything. In a flash, her costume was on and Dragon Lady was nearly at her doorstep.\n\n[b]Roger “Double .00 Buck” Buckminster, Senior’s office, Washington D.C. – mid-day[/b]\n\n“Thanks for letting me make the call, Buck. I’m going to have to head home after the meeting. Danielle needs me. I’m afraid I won’t have time for playing around later.” Todd hoped that being a married man himself that the buck would understand. “In fact, I should probably head back now.”\n\n“That’s okay, Todd. We were pretty much done with the information I had anyway.” The buck deer loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt. “But it could be rather awkward if you arrived so soon after your call.”\n\n“What are you doing?”, Todd asked, puzzled why the deer would be undressing.\n\n“I’d say providing you with an alibi but that would be a lie. Despite my position, I’m not politician enough to lie.” The deer shed his shirt, undid his belt and pants and pushed them to the floor. “Speaking of positions, you really should strip and assume yours, you know, that on your hands and knees with your tail up one I love so much.” Without bending down, the deer slipped out of his shoes and stepped out of his pants. With the help of repeated practice, he removed his socks by stepping on the ends and pulling his feet out of them. The buck stepped up next to Todd completely naked and already sporting an erection. “You didn’t think I was going to let you leave without getting a piece of that tail, did you?” \n\nBuck kissed the younger rhoanthekan as he carefully undid the buttons on Todd’s shirt and quickly undid the younger man’s pants. In less than a minute Todd was as naked as the older buck who used his cybernetic arm to spin the dragon around, pin Todd’s arms and secure them tightly with the deer’s tie. The stag turned him back around and kissed the rhoanthekan again, deeper and longer this time. When they parted, Todd could see the aching need burning in the deer’s single eye.\n\n“You know what a frigid bitch my wife is. I can’t promise I’ll be gentle but I will be copious.” Buck pushed the dragon onto his knees and took a firm grip on his horns. The stag’s erection bumped into Todd’s snout and the dragon gave it a lick making it jump and Buck groan. Having felt the moist contact, the buck’s hips thrust forward, jabbing his hard cock into the rhoanthekan’s maw. Had Todd been another species, he might have gagged on the cannon the deer sported. Clearly Buck hadn’t been getting any in a while and wasn’t in the mood for any foreplay. \n\n“Oh god!”, Buck grunted as he humped the younger man’s snout. “You only have your father to blame for this. I was perfectly straight until he started waving his tail about and flirting. I had to fuck him to get the teasing to stop.” Of course Todd knew. Buck gave the same little speech each time he screwed the young rhoanthekan going back to their first time when Todd was an early teen. The buck groaned but never paused fucking Todd’s mouth. “Oh damn!! Then there was you, you sweet little dragon bitch. I saw you boning Zephyr after your twelfth birthday and couldn’t get you out of my mind. It’s like you were teasing me too. I finally got your parents to leave you with me so I could pop your sweet anal cherry!\n\nApparently the thought was one that still got to the buck. He thrust his spasming cock deep into Todd’s mouth and a mighty blast of deer spunk splattered into the dragon’s throat. A few more hard spurts followed but Todd managed to swallow them all and the buck pulled his dick out. It was now evident to the rhoanthekan just how much in need the buck really was. Even after that orgasm, his penis was still rock hard and ready for more.\n\nBuck kneeled on the floor next to his young lover. With his still flesh left hand, he stroked Todd’s own cock a bit as the rhoanthekan heard him rummage for something. There was a squeeze on the dragon’s balls and he opened his mouth. The buck shoved something hard inside and cinched it tight with a strap. Now bound and gagged, the dragon was shoved onto his chest on the floor and he felt a strap tightened around his tail. Buck jerked it up and slipped the other end under the strap of the gag and fastened it securely to keep the dragon’s tail from getting in the way. \n\nThe stag picked up the bottle of personal lubricant he had placed with the gag, poured some of it out and stroked it up and down the length of his cock. Buck poked one well-coated fingertip into the dragon, pulled it out then raised up and slammed his dick inside Todd. The rhoanthekan whimpered around the gag. The stag pumped his hard-on roughly into the dragon’s tight ass and cried out as his warm spunk blasted into Todd. \n\nThough he was older, the deer wasn’t done yet. Todd had started to relax when the buck surprised him by fucking the dragon again. The thrusts weren’t as hard but Buck definitely had energy to spare and he was going more for a marathon this time. Todd moaned loudly around the gag, his own cock throbbing against his belly. After several minutes, the stag’s thrusts came harder and faster until his hips slapped against Todd’s ass like a speed metal tune. It wasn’t anywhere near what Dakota was capable of with a smaller size strap on but very impressive for Buck’s age. The stag slammed in one last time and cried out, emptying his balls of their pent-up stores.\n\nAfter several spasms, twitches and a couple more hard spurts, Buck pulled his spent cock out of the dragon. His spunk squirted out of Todd’s ass even as it dribbled from his flaccid penis. The buck grinned as the rhoanthekan relaxed again. Even now, he still had plans for Todd. The deer rolled the drake over and stroked some lube onto his very hard cock. Buck raised up and sat down on the rhoanthekan’s erection. Todd’s cock pierced the cervine’s ass and slid in. The stag humped up and down on the dragon, clenching his ass as he did. Todd whined loudly even with the gag in his snout then filled the stag’s ass just as Buck had done in the dragon earlier. The older deer pulled off of the drake’s also spent dick. Still clenching tightly, Buck undid the gag and pulled it out of the dragon’s maw, then turned around and stuck his ass in Todd’s face. The deer released and the rhoanthekan’s semen dribbled into his own mouth.\n\nOver in a corner of the room, an unseen voyeur saw the buck dribble the dragon’s own cum into his mouth and couldn’t hold back from his own release. He pumped his cock as his eyes flared bright purple and shot his cum on the floor where it evaporated into rainbow mist. Despite his orgasm, the visitor wasn’t at all satisfied. Neither male could see him yet. He wasn’t even a hint of something out of the corner of their eyes…yet. Soon though, he told himself. Getting the highly-repressed horny buck to fuck the very cute dragon was easy enough. All it would take was a few more times just like this and he’d be doing the fucking. \n\n[b]Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon[/b]\n\n“Been a while, honey?” Toni moaned and squirmed as Tori stroked her fingers between the thick folds of her younger sister’s wet pussy. The two had spent the past few hours pouring over the notes Toni had come by, when the older sister thought they should do something fun and relaxing. It hadn’t taken much to convince Toni that fun and relaxing meant a little incestuous lesbian playtime. Once again, Tori pitied anyone who couldn’t look beyond her sister’s larger curves to see the delightfully horny young rhoanthekan she knew Toni to be. Knowing exactly what would make the younger woman scream in delight, Tori worked the magic her fingers could and Toni squirmed and screamed out, coating those fingers as the older sister had planned. “I love you.”, Tori whispered, holding her sister close. Toni whispered something that sounded pretty much the same but was fading quickly and in moments, she was asleep. Tori held her and thought about the formula, wondering just how it might be able to help her sister.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon[/b]\n\nGordon wakened from dreams of beautiful women, large monsters and rapacious sex. It took him a minute or two to recall that they weren’t dreams but memories of the previous day. Instantly, the mutated scientist felt a weight of guilt. The enormous alligator pushed himself up off of the giant airbag his cousin had inflated for him to sleep on and onto his feet. He shuffle-stepped to the other rooms of the lab, sniffing as he did so. He caught a couple of familiar ones and another he didn’t recognize. One of the familiar scents was faint. Dragon Lady had already left the lab somewhat recently. The other familiar scent was his cousin who was seriously aroused by the other unfamiliar but equally strong female scent. A few more sniffs told him they were having a great deal of intimate fun together, brining a smile to his big snout, especially after finding out just last night Placid was a lesbian.\n\nHe moved on to the lab and found a pair of round framed glasses in his original prescription fashioned to fit his resized snout. After putting them on, he was able to check the results of Placid’s very early morning tests. Nearly every fact and figure caused him to frown and rumble disapprovingly. Thanks to his own work, Gordon didn’t need to see the results of the DNA tests to know his was altered probably beyond the ability of any treatment to return to normal. That didn’t trouble him so much. He rather liked this big new body. What he didn’t like were the fluctuations in hormonal levels taken over just a few hours. The results could still be considered preliminary but he had a sense they would read the same or worse. He thought about the young women he’d accosted again and made a decision.\n\nOne phone call later, he was set to turn himself in. Placid and her companion were still in the shower. He chuckled thinking of the water bill she must be incurring, then turned to her computer. Very, very carefully with a pencil he tapped out a message to his cousin. Once he was done, he let himself out of the big hanger doors and made his way to the gate to the bay.\n\n[b]Dharken residence, Cliffside housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon[/b]\n\nDanielle roused from the nap she’d been taking since getting home earlier. She had the briefest sensation of the sound of a giant bird landing in the backyard before coming fully awake. The rhoanthekan shook her head trying to rid it of any other dream remnants when the sound of the key in a lock captured her attention completely. In an instant, she was on the other side of that door.\n\nTodd stepped into the door and acted surprised his wife was standing there completely naked despite knowing she’d be standing there before he had opened the door. She leaped at him, wrapping her arms around her husband and sealing her snout to his in a kiss. Even with Dani clinging to him, Todd managed to shuffle through the door and close it behind him. For a while even after they stopped kissing, Todd stood quietly hugging his wife as she remained wrapped around him. She was actually beginning to worry him when she released her embrace and stood back to smile up at him.\n\n“Hey you, I am so glad you’re home. I’ve really missed you.” Dani moved in close again and laid her head against her husband’s chest. He almost started to say it had only been a day or so but in truth, the rhoanthekan hadn’t been around for his wife since the afternoon of the attack at the museum. And there was whatever had happened between she and Dakota to consider but he felt now wasn’t the right time for that either. He had an idea of what she probably wanted most but didn’t want to make any assumptions. When all else fails, ask.\n\n“I’ve missed you too, lover.”, he whispered, kissing her forehead. “What can I do for you right now?” \n\n“Hold me. Caress me. Kiss me. Most of all, I need you to fuck me – mouth, pussy, ass, I don’t care which but I need you to cum in me. I need to know that I’m your wife.” He sniffed her. She wasn’t in heat but he could sense a great deal of tension and an overwhelming scent he’d come to associate with lust and the need for a good rutting that had nothing to do with reproduction. \n\n“How about a nice massage that gets into all of the places?”, Todd suggested. Dani was already unbuttoning his shirt and working on undoing his pants. \n\n“Why don’t we move on to the main event right here in the living room.” It wasn’t a suggestion. She sniffed him as she bared his chest. “Mmm, you smell like Buck. How is the old stag?”\n\n“Horny. You would have loved watching us. He tied me up and at the end sat on me and milked me.” \n\n“Not dry I hope” Dani scowled. She pulled her husband’s underwear off and his erection sprang out.\n\n“Honey, for you there’s always some left in the tank.”\n\n“Good!” And with that, the female rhoanthekan pounced her husband pinning him to the floor and squatted on his delightful cock.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon[/b]\n\n“Ooooh, you do that so well, Dakota!” Placid grinned leaning back against the pronghorn and rubbing her tail playfully. A couple of the reptile’s scutes slid against the older woman’s cleft just right and she peaked instantly. For an instant her knees went weak but she recovered faster than the normal eye and many cameras could detect. The only outward sign anything had happened as the mammal’s ejaculate trickling inside her thighs.\n\n“Mmm, and you do that so well!”, the pronghorn remarked, taking no note that Placid had heard her at all. Dakota grinned then it melted into a frown. The younger woman had touched something in her that usually only Todd or Danielle usually did and she remembered her earlier statement about commitment issues came back to her.\n\nThe pronghorn was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice she and the scientist had started walking again until she ran into Placid who had stopped suddenly. The reptile stood slightly shivering, her eyes staring ahead but unfocused as if she were looking at something else. For a few moments, Dakota wondered if Placid was having an epileptic seizure.\n\n“Oh no!”, Placid exclaimed, then blinked several times. “Oh nonononono!!” The reptile made a mad dash for her laboratory only stopping at the computer running the information gathered from the early morning tests run on Gordon. Her scaled fingers dug into that impossible brown hair. “OH SHIT! Shitshitshit!!! I-h-GAH!! The dumb shit’s gone to turn himself into the police!! Gordon, you dopey bas-“ Placid stopped mid-word and clicked on another window. Her eyes scanned numbers that didn’t look like much to Dakota’s untrained eye. “oh-!”, Placid exclaimed in a very small voice that sounded like a discovery and understanding. The reptile’s snout tipped downward and she put a scaled fist to her forehead. The younger woman looked about to cry, then composed herself and simply stated, “There’s nothing I can do about his condition. It’s irreversible.” \n\n“If I can be said to have learned anything positive over the years, honey, it’s that there’s something that can be done about just about anything. You only have to try and not be willing to give up. And the first step-“ Dakota stood next to the alligator fully clothed, then Placid noticed she was also dressed. “-is to stop your cousin from doing something stupid so you can really start helping him. Dragon Lady’s gone. I’ve already checked. Oh!” The pronghorn had her phone out and noticed the note she’d been left. She only frowned a moment, the hit the speed dial she was looking for. \n\n[b]Dharken residence, Cliffside housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon[/b]\n\nDanielle had a tight grip on the bar countertop that she was pushing against. She’d already coaxed a couple of loads from her husband thanks to riding him cowgirl fashion. With his semen already trickling down her thighs, she decided to reward him by allowing him to fuck her ass as hard as he liked. Tired as he already was, Todd jumped at the opportunity as Dani didn’t offer her ass up as much as he would like. Having already popped three times in the day and with his wife squeezing her ass tightly as he thrust in, Todd came fast and hard inside Danielle who snarled delightfully and dug her fingers into the countertop.\n\nAs Todd pulled out, Dani looked at her hands, her eyes going wide. She rather carefully removed her fingers trying not to draw attention to them. If her husband did notice, he didn’t let on preferring to give her some kiss and nibbling on her neck as a way of thanking her. She straightened up and leaned against him, rubbing her tail against his belly as his seed dribbled down the back of her legs.\n\n“Feeling better dear?”, Todd whispered. Dani nodded. “Good. Now maybe you can tell me what happened between you and Dakota?” The lady dragon froze. She and Todd hadn’t kept secrets from each other before, not even about their alternative notions on sexuality or their various encounters. But this thing with her powers, she wasn’t sure how to handle it. She was thinking as quickly as she could when her cell rang with Dakota’s ringtone.\n\n“Well, that’ll be her now. She’s probably just asking if I want to go out to dinner. She doesn’t know you’re home yet.” Danielle answered the phone as Todd looked to be headed to the bathroom. That would help avoid some hasty explanations or covering up what needed to actually be said. With a bit of trepidation, the female rhoanthekan hit the talk button. \n\n“Hello? Look Dakota about earlier, I- um, I’m fine actually. Todd’s home again and- OH! You mean fine like that?” Danielle glanced at her countertop. “Uh, everything seems to be good to go. Why?” The pronghorn quickly summed up Gordon’s results and his note to Placid. “I’ll see you there.” Danielle dashed to the bedroom and slipped into the costume the female alligator scientist fabricated. It slipped on much faster and easier than the one Dani had fashioned herself. She knocked at the bathroom door. “Honey? Dakota and I need to have one of those women only talks. I’ll see you after we try to get this sorted.” And she was gone.\n\nTodd knew she was gone already but waited a few seconds just to be sure. Once out of the bathroom, he knew she was already gone out of the house. Without hesitating, he left too though no one outside ever saw him go.\n\n[b]Memorial Cove near the Gammorah Bay memorial museum, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon[/b]\n\nGordon glided through the water as easily as one of his wilder cousins would through the swamps of southern Florida. The cooler waters didn’t bother the mutated alligator. The environment in general didn’t seem to bother him now. He pondered trying a bit of fishing with his new body but didn’t feel hungry. By everything he knew, he should have been starving. His tail swished gently propelling him effortlessly through the water. Gordon had never been much of a swimmer but now he felt as if he could qualify for the Olympics without trouble at all. He almost lost himself in his delight of simply swimming that he’d just about forgotten why he started his journey from Placid’s lab in the first place. The bulky reptile altered his course toward the shore.\n\n“You know, if I hadn’t listened to you about that little street fight up in the Bridgeport district last night, I would have had pictures of this guy already. Harlot and Charmer aren’t real news these days. And our photos and story wouldn’t have been dumped to page 5 instead of Donaldson’s sketch ending up on the cover page.”, Denise “Shutterbug” Wachs buzzed in irritation at Gregory “SnapDragon” Pierson. The hybrid asian dragon ignored her as best he could. She always followed him about then got mad at him when they weren’t where the breaking news was. “I know the real reason you wanted to cover the fight. You have a thing for the skimpy outfits those two wear. I keep telling you they’re lesbians. Even if they weren’t, I’m not sure they’d be all that impressed with your-“ Sometimes she could really get under his scales though and she had just reached that point. He growled.\n\n“I didn’t make you come with me. And in case you didn’t even look at your own photos, that ‘little street fight’ was a gang war that involved 15 square blocks which Madam Thunder probably ordered to get rid of Harlot and Charmer. Then again, I guess you were too busy snapping those crotch shots of Harlot to notice.” Thought out to knock the sass out of the honeybee for a while, Greg thought.\n\n“Maybe I didn’t notice the ‘gang war’ but the editor bought ALL of my pictures, Snaps. Even if they were for her personal use. I keep telling you the sooner you realize our editor is totally into these super babes, the more you’d be making too.” Ever the professional, SnapDragon turned to her and stuck his tongue out. Something moved in the bay looking like it was approaching the shore. Greg turned and snapped some shots of it. It looked like a series of spikes that disappeared down into the water as they got closer.\n\nOnce close to the shore, Gordon dove and using his powerful tail, launched himself into the air. He landed heavily several feet from the broken edge of the bank. Dragon and bee snapped file after file determined to capture the front page this time. Already awaiting the gargantuan reptile were units of the Gammorah Bay police department as he’d arranged earlier with his call from Placid’s lab. He wanted to surrender here so Placid wouldn’t be involved as an accessory then remembered they’d probably traced the call anyway. The alligator slammed his giant palm into his forehead. The action seemed to make the police nervous so he held up his long arms as best he could.\n\nBefore any officer could actually move in to take custody of Gordon, a maroon, black and white streak appeared and resolved itself into Dragon Lady. She stood between the police and Gordon, indicating the officers should keep their distance. Shutterbug and SnapDragon shifted into high gear and Greg, remembering Denise’s words about the editor, snapped a few closeups of the superheroine. Gordon shuffled to her side.\n\n“What are you doing? I’m here to surrender myself for what I’ve done. I’m a danger to everyone! Those poor women-“\n\n“-May not feel the way you think they do.” Dragon Lady nodded to a small group of police struggling with some very active and familiar women. The ladies broke through and arrayed themselves between Gordon and the police just as Dragon Lady had done. Gordon recognized them as the ladies from the lab. All of them, including Director Midland, were saying they refused to press charges and that he was a good, kind and gentle man. Gordon blushed at all of the attention he seemed to be getting. Uncertain what to do, the lead officers stood conferring with one another. \n\n“Ugh, I hate it when they just stand around and talk.”, Gregory grumbled. A sudden gust of wind rushed past he and the honeybee, cooling them both temporarily. It was a reminder what a warm day it was. “It’s too hot already for this crap.” Out of some of her compound eye, Denise noticed a large, familiar shape. The shape extended something resembling an awning over them and the pair felt cooler. Greg looked up, puzzled when it felt cooler without a cloud in the sky. He shrugged at the honeybee. \n\n“Thank you.”, Denise spoke to the shape and buzzed in delight when she got a happy rumble in response.\n\n“For what?” Greg gave her a strange look.\n\n“Just thanking the dragon for the shade.” The asian hybrid dragon looked around them not seeing either the dragon or the shade the insect was talking about but he did have to admit it did feel cooler than it had before the wind gust. Perhaps it had cooled them off and some breeze he couldn’t feel coming off of the waters of the cove were still keeping them cool. Greg shook his head and turned back to what was going on just as Mayor Jackson emerged from the crowd trailed by another alligator, a woman. The reptile’s lengthy straight brown hair really attracted his eye and Greg snapped several images of her, curious about who she might be. \n\nDakota took charge immediately and introduced Plaicd to several of the ranking officers, then indicated Gordon. SnapDragon strained but couldn’t make out what was being said especially over the noise of the crowd that had gathered or the women surrounding the mutated scientist. \n\n“I don’t suppose your imaginary friend can hear what’s going on.”, he muttered to Denise, annoyed he would probably have to wait for some official press conference and not get the full story even then.\n\n“Well he didn’t say so, but he’s not imaginary. I’m not sure I understand him in words per se but he’s giving me the sense that the mayor is urging the police not to arrest the big guy there. He’s just a scientist what tried something and the experiment way backfired on him. It doesn’t look like it backfired to me. He certainly doesn’t have anything to be ashamed about in the meat department” Denise produced a whistle somehow, possibly by rubbing or vibrating her wings a certain way. Greg felt a pang of jealousy that he quickly dismissed not wanting to interrupt his insect companion’s narrative. “The alligator woman with the mayor is the big guy’s cousin and Mayor Jackson insists that she can find some way of helping undo what he did to himself.” The mayor motioned for Dragon Lady to come join the discussion group. The superheroine approached but it was clear to the sharp-eyed dragon hybrid that something was up between her and the mayor, something likely personal and quite possibly involving the young lady alligator. There was more discussion in the knot of people. “Now he says that Dragon Lady is working to assure them that she will take personal responsibility for his behavior. It sounds like the police are reluctantly agreeing to let Dragon Lady look after the big guy, mostly under some pressure from the mayor.”\n\nThe group seemed to be breaking up with Mayor Jackson, Dragon Lady and the lady alligator approaching the ring of women and the mutated alligator. The pronghorn explained things to the women as the lady reptile approached her cousin and hugged his enlarged snout. Dragon Lady put a hand on the younger woman’s shoulder and said something to both alligators. Denise’s source seemed strangely quiet now. SnapDragon pulled out his cell phone and placed a call to the Epoch’s office. He turned to Denise and hit speaker phone.\n\n“How about we share the byline on this story? We only know what we do because of your, um, source.” Shutterbug buzzed happily. “But we won’t mention how we know all of this. Confidentiality and all that, right?” \n\n[b]Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon[/b]\n\nTori frowned at the television. Breaking news coverage about the mutated scientist, this Brute, that Toni had told her about had interrupted the program the sisters were watching. Toni excused herself once Dragon Lady appeared but Tori had to watch, had to see what was going to happen. After a discussion between Mayor Jackson, the police and Dragon Lady, the alligator monster was going to get away scot-free. All of this plus her sister’s story had Tori fuming. She stabbed the off button on the TV remote and whirled out of the chair heading for the room she was staying in. An idea was beginning to form but she’d need to take stock of what she had to figure out what else she’d need to make it work. There was the formula to consider too. And a proper venue of course.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon[/b]\n\nPlacid York felt on the verge of collapse. She felt the need for a cigarette more than she had earlier during her time with Dakota, though the craving was brought on by stress rather than euphoric pleasure. After the tense confrontation with the police and nervously explaining, more like lying her ass off, to the police how she could help her cousin to keep him out of jail, the women surrounding him had wanted to follow him wherever he was going. The mayor had arranged for their transportation but it had been up to Placid to accommodate them once they go to the lab. \n\nPerhaps most stressful was the tension that remained between Dakota and Dragon Lady. Placid felt guilty for it despite the pronghorn’s assurances that it had very little to do the young reptile. They had traded a few terse words, all related to the problem had hand rather than what had happened. It was all very much like waiting for the other shoe to drop. It also didn’t help that the pronghorn had been rather cool to her since those reassurances. She was really beginning to regret giving in to her urges to get it on with Dakota. It was like opening Pandora’s Box and letting all her pent up sexual demons run riot through her. In fact, it was all she could do right now to keep from dashing to Debauchery Row, buying a couple of hundred dollars of dildoes and other toys and hiring a half dozen hookers just to fuck her silly. The alligator rubbed her forehead with a couple of fingers. There were too many very personal shoes waiting for her liking.\n\nA buzz from the alligator’s smartphone derailed her thoughts but it took her a few moments to recall the significance of the noise. It buzzed a couple more times and she picked up the custom created device. Tapping the screen, it displayed the public entrance to her lab complex. Standing at the gate was an unexpected pair – a tall, gorgeous lady snow leopard and not as tall but still tall and equally comely female osprey. Placid had a feeling she’d regret her next move but that never stopped her from doing such things before. And that’s exactly what had her cousin in such a mess right now. \n\n“Yes?”, Placid asked very hesitantly.\n\n“Dr. Placid York?” The osprey’s voice made Placid’s thighs tingle uncharacteristically for a reptile but she had this feeling of dread like one of those shoes she’d been thinking about earlier was about to drop now. Damn hormones. She never could think straight thanks to them.\n\n“Yes?”, Placid replied even more hesitantly.\n\n“I’m Tricia Williams and this-“, the avian indicated the snow leopard, “-is Celine Anson. We’re image consultants and talent agents-“ Here it comes, thought Placid. “-and we’d like to speak to you and your cousin. We think there’s a real opportunity here to help you with recent events and how the public views them.” Placid suppressed a sigh. She could see so many ways this could go wrong. Unfortunately, her intuition wasn’t giving her any insight into how to handle this so the alligator gave way to her curiosity about the osprey and whether she looked as hot in person. \n\n“I’ll be right out to escort you in.” The osprey flashed a thumbs up to the leopard who serenely grinned. \n\nThe osprey didn’t look as hot in person. She looked hotter. And those rectangular wire frame glasses! If Placid had been male, she’d have been trying to hide a raging boner. As it was, her panties were getting soaked. The soaking turned into a trickle when Tricia shook the reptile’s hand energetically and gave Placid a hug. By contrast, Celine was much more reserved though she did give her associate and the alligator an interesting look. \n\nOnce inside, Placid introduced the pair to Gordon, his “harem”, Dragon Lady and Dakota. Tricia showed most of the same energy for each as she had outside though clearly her eyes favored Placid. However, Celine showed more than polite interest only in Dragon Lady. After the introductions, the consultants switched to business mode producing a laptop with well prepared multi-media presentation. During the presentation, Placid ran a thorough check on pair using her smartphone, even going through some encrypted databases she’d hacked. Interesting stuff there, Placid noted mentally tagging some things to check through later, but nothing turned up on the consultants. They were exactly who they claimed to be. Satisfied they weren’t plotting against her cousin on behalf of some agency that wanted his research, the alligator turned her attention to the particulars of the deal they were laying out, though Placid found it difficult to follow. Though she was handy with physics, electronics and several other –ics, economics confounded her. And Tricia was quite diverting too. The glances Celine was casting Dragon Lady’s way weren’t going unnoticed either.\n\nAs the pair wrapped up their presentation, a couple of Gordon’s ladies asked questions, clearly having followed the economics end of things better than Placid had. The alligator slid away from her own seat and over to where Dakota and Dragon Lady had stood for the show. As she approached, she could sense the tension was still there. Neither woman had so much as looked at each other the entire time though they were standing fairly close to each other. However, both looked at her and smiled.\n\n“What do you think?”, the reptile asked, leaving the question open for either woman to answer.\n\n“Interesting.”, Dakota answered first. “Those were some looks you were getting. I’d say go for it.” Placid frowned for a second as her mind processed the unexpected response. Then her eyes widened as blood rushed to her cheeks. The scientist saw the same look on the superheroine and realized the pronghorn had left the comment open enough for it to apply to both women. For the first time, Dragon Lady cast a glance at the mayor who winked at her, then at Placid. \n\nTricia was still answering a couple of questions as Celine made her way over to the trio of women. Dakota hip bumped Dragon Lady, catching the younger woman off guard and sending her stumbling toward the snow leopard. The superheoine couldn’t decide whether to scowl or look hurt at the pronghorn but being close proximity to the feline reminded her that she’d interrupted some rather hot, much needed fucking from Todd and Dakota knew her well enough to tell what she needed right now. Celine smiled slyly at the mayor as she led the rhoanthekan away under the pretense of discussing some event she and Tricia had in mind to help Gordon’s public image. \n\n“The deal doesn’t sound bad either but I’d warn your cousin, the public eye can be really dangerous waters. I’d sooner swim with a school of hungry sharks covered in thousands of paper cuts.” Before Placid could remark at the odd metaphor, Dakota nodded at someone else. “Your turn, sweetie scales.” The doctor turned to see Tricia heading for them. The pronghorn playfully patted then gently pushed Placid’s ass. “Go ruffle her feathers.” The alligator didn’t understand what Dakota was up to but she couldn’t ignore those damn hormones either. The osprey and the alligator headed away, likely to the reptile’s room. With the discussion still going with Gordon and his entourage about the deal, Dakota went off to find a quiet place where she could do some super-speed finger fucking.\n\n“I say make them put something in writing before you decide anything, dear.”, Janet Midland spoke up clearly trying to take charge of the discussion. Having run the Coldwater Biological Research Institute, the duck felt she had the greatest qualifications to speak about the business aspects of the proposal and securing Gordon’s financial future was her priority.\n\n“I say go for it, honey!”, Leonora Stone roared. The lioness wanted the rest of the world to see her enormous cuddly alligator the way she did and love him for it. “Get out there. Let them see the real wonderful you that I, uh, we love!” Janet frowned. In just a few short days, Leonora had changed a great deal from the quietly efficient office worker the waterfowl had known for the past few years. \n\n“And I advise patience!”, Janet would have growled if she could. “There’s no need to rush into anything and make mistakes. Your first impression wasn’t exactly the best, sweetie. Your next step has to be carefully planned and all the ramifications considered.”\n\n“There’s no time like the present!” Leonora did growl. “Everything happens faster these days and gets splashed all over the internet in minutes. The public has a short attention span and you need to jump on this while they’re still thinking about you.”\n\nWhile the pair bickered, the donkey sisters, Bridget and Michelle, started to get frisky with Gordon’s enlarged penis and with each other while Jodi the sheep hooker lavished attention on the mutated alligator’s snout. In response to their affections, Gordon laid back as the ladies stripped off their meager clothing. His shaft sprang to life and the donkeys wrapped their bodies around it, writhing, licking and kissing the enormous throbbing pole. As they did, the reptilian mutation carefully kissed Jodi, mindful that his explosively enhanced physique could easily harm her if he didn’t maintain a tight control of himself – control he was rapidly beginning to lose as Belinda and Michelle did their full contact dance on his erection. Gordon wanted Jodi to straddle his snout but needed to deal with the bickering members of his “harem” before the situation got out of hand. His plan involved getting them in hand though, literally. \n\n“Ladies! Get your asses over here and join the party already in progress.” The duck and lioness broke off their arguing immediately and rushed over to his side, stripping as they did. Gordon laid out his hands, palms up and wiggled his middle fingers on both hands. The fighters each took a hand and readily impaled themselves on the waggling digits. “Ah-ah, facing each other ladies.” They slid around on his thick fingers to face each other as he had directed.\n\n“C’mere Jodi, put your lovely ass in my face, then show these two how to kiss and make up. I won’t have anyone hanging around with me fighting like that.” The sheep straddled Gordon’s chest facing away from him, then turned to the duck and gave Janet a passionate kiss. The waterfowl passionately returned the kiss as the giant alligator finger thrust and twitched inside of her. As the kiss broke, Jodi shifted to Leonora, planting her lips on the lioness with equal passion. The feline whimpered in delight as Jodi’s tongue explored her mouth and Gordon’s finger probed her pussy. As before, the sheep pulled away then guided the duck’s beak and the lioness’s short muzzle to each other’s. Janet and Leonora kissed each other as deeply as they had Jodi. “That’s better.”, Gordon rumbled softly before slithering his tongue up into the sheep’s vagina. The duck and lioness attacked Jodi’s bouncing breasts as the donkey sisters finally got Gordon worked up to leak all over them. Between their work and the squirming and moaning of the sheep and the pair leaking all over his fingers, Gordon rumbled and spurted all over himself and his entourage. \n\nRather than being sated, the release had the opposite effect. Gordon extricated his fingers from the duck and lioness then motioned Bridget and Michelle out of his way. The alligator grabbed the sheep as he raised up. Carefully he deposited her on her back. Understanding exactly what he needed, Jodi spread her legs. The mutated scientist pressed the giant head of his cock against her vulva. Defying belief, it stretched allowing him entry. As much as his body screamed for him to just take her, he did it slowly. Jodi betrayed no sign of discomfort as his shaft stretched her body. When he went in as much as he dared, he stroked in and out of her. Though there was plenty of lubrication, the tightness of her body put a delightful pressure on tip of his cock. It didn’t take long before he groaned and filled Jodi with his spunk. \n\nGordon eased out of the euphoric mammal and the donkey sisters descended on her gaping pussy, gobbling up the gator’s semen. Gordon pondered taking one of the two donkeys next when a whistle attracted his attention. Leonora was laying on her right side, her left leg lifted into the air and her left hand spreading her pussy open. It was a clear invitation and Gordon accepted readily.\n\n“No need to play nice with me, baby. Fuck me! Fuck me hard!!”, the lioness growled. Sensing she meant what she said, the mutated alligator mounted her roughly and humped her hard and fast. The feline was as tight as the sheep and squeezing as much as she could on the enormous pole spreading her open. Despite the hard pounding, Leo didn’t feel the slightest discomfort or pain. Just like with Jodi, it didn’t take long for Gordon to peak and fill the lioness up with more cum.\n\nHe pulled out of Leonora, leaving her very satisfied but the alligator still wasn’t completely satisfied. Gordon turned his attention to the donkey sisters again. Bridgit was still cleaning up Jodi while Michelle was moving to start on Leonora. Before he could decide which, triangular tail feathers wiggled to get his attention and the mutant reptile’s eyes zeroed right in on Janet’s shapely ass sticking in the air. Gordon moved up behind her bent over body and gave her exposed slit and anus a lick. The duck shivered at the touch, especially when his tongue lingered on her ass. \n\n“Ohhh yesss, fuck me in the ass!”, Janet begged. Not much for foreplay in his current state, the hulking alligator rose up over the eager waterfowl, pressed the large head of his shaft against her anus and forced his way in. He went in easily enough but she was much tighter than he expected and it took him several pumps to realize he was taking her backdoor virginity. Aside from some moaning and squirming, Janet never made a sound of protest as he humped her rectum. She was so tight that he exploded in her after only a couple dozen thrusts. Unlike the other girls, he couldn’t help himself and kept fucking and filling her ass with more spunk. When he finally stopped, Janet’s cum swollen abdomen gave her the appearance of being pregnant. Gordon grinned sheepishly as he got a look at the well fucked duck. He eased out of her and her bowels immediately forced a gusher of cum out, splashing it all over the alligator too. \n\n“Janet? Are you okay?” The duck groaned but smiled as broadly as her beak and tired state would allow and flashed a thumbs up. Gordon raised himself up to his usual hunched standing position where he towered over the women. \n\n“Leonora? Janet? I appreciate your thoughts, comments and concerns. I think I’ll take the deal but not without looking at everything in writing. And I’d like both of you to do that with me, please. I’ve read plenty of grant paperwork but nothing at all like you’ve seen. Thank you, Bridgit!” One of the donkeys handed him a towel from a pile she’d found while the other handed some to the other ladies so they could clean up.\n\nA few minutes later, Dragon Lady and the leopard lady came walking back with big smiles on their faces. Clearly they’d been up to something together and the girls exchanged knowing smiles amongst themselves. Moments later, the osprey returned with a smile on her beak but Placid, appearing shortly after, looked rather glum.\n\n“Are you okay?”, Gordon asked quietly, shuffling up to his cousin. \n\n“I’d rather not talk about it.” Silence hung between then for a moment.\n\n“Um, I think I’m taking the deal they’re offering.” \n\n“If that’s what you want to do. They check out as legitimate.”, she said flatly and not at all like herself. Gordon shuffled closer, putting a massive arm around her. “I’m fine.”, Placid snapped.\n\n“I know you better than that.”, he rumbled softly.\n\n“You wouldn’t understa-“, she stopped, taking a look up at him and remembering all of the times she looked down instead. She thought about what drove him to this state and realized he of all people she knew probably would understand. Not even Aunt Windy would be able to but Gordon would understand perfectly. “I’ll tell you later. Let’s get this sorted out first.” Placid walked beside her hulking cousin to help him answer the ladies’ proposal. \n\n[b]Undisclosed warehouse, Eastbay district, Gammorah Bay – late afternoon[/b]\n\n“What are we doing here again?” Toni Dharken frowned looking at the dusty, shabby looking warehouse. “This place has no sense of style to it. I thought all lairs had at least some style to them.” \n\n“Everyone has to start with something. Think of it like the clay you’re always puttering with. It doesn’t look like anything until you start sculpting it, right? You’d just have to do a bit more sculpting with this than that place you were eyeing on the internet out towards mom and dad’s. When you do, it’ll be all your own style.” Tori hoped she sounded more encouraging than she actually felt. She had some of her sister’s reservations about the place but could see its potential in the plan. Plus it was within the budget they’d worked up to get this venture started. “It’ll be perfect. No one would think to look here.”\n\n“You’d be right about that.”, Toni muttered under her breath. “Are you sure about this whole thing?” \n\n“No! You have to be the one that’s sure about it. I’m only helping to get things rolling. I’ll admit I have mixed feelings about it myself. When I pick up where dad left off, I might end up having to work with this Dragon Lady sometime.” Tori snorted, not nearly as impressed at what she’d seen as the rest of the city seemed to have been. Toni looked around with a more careful eye, her mind already whirling with possibilities. \n\n“Yes. This’ll do nicely.”, Toni nodded. Her sister already had her phone in hand and the number dialing the commercial real estate agent that worked off the normal property registry that Tori’s research had turned up.\n\n[b]Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – two days later[/b]\n\n“So you say that your powers faded after helping my cousin but they’ve come back and you feel stronger than ever? Have you changed anything in your diet? How you’ve slept? Who you’ve done it with?”, Dr. York asked, mostly curious about the last question more than any of them.\n\n“Not really. I started work but I haven’t exactly maintained a regular schedule of sleep. I’ve eaten a lot of the same things and some different ones. I can’t say there’s any real consistency, except maybe getting it from my husband a lot more often.” Placid frowned a bit but noted that. She frowned even more when it didn’t reconcile with the other data she’d been mentally compiling. The reptile made a mental note to check atmospheric and meteorological data and cross reference it with tidal and astronomical information. \n\n“Will you please strip and step into the biometric scanner again?” Dragon Lady grinned but took off her cape and handed it to Placid. She started pulling off her costume top.\n\n“If I didn’t know any better, Doc, I’d say you just like seeing me naked.” She tugged the top over her face.\n\n[i]Oh shit, she’s on to me![/i], Placid thought frantically, freezing in place. Dragon Lady grinned broadly under her costume top, able to see the scientist freeze thanks to a new vision power she’d discovered earlier in the week. Handing the top over, the heroine stripped her bottoms off and they joined the top. She posed rather provocatively and any air of Placid’s scientific objectivity dropped. The alligator stared in open admiration. Dragon Lady withheld a chuckle and stepped into the scanner.\n\nThe scientist started the scan and as the data started coming in, her attention zeroed in completely on the facts and figures. Without needing to consult her earlier test results, she could tell that the heroine was indeed stronger than before. Plotting the graph in her mind, Dragon Lady would be 10 times as powerful as the previously known most powerful individual in a matter of days. Something about that unsettled the alligator, not because she feared the rhoanthekan but rather she didn’t like not knowing where all of that power was coming from or why.\n\n[b]Debauchery Row, Bridgeport district, Gammorah Bay – two days later[/b]\n\nDr. York’s frown had only deepened in the past couple of days and not just from the mystery of Dragon Lady’s power. Yesterday’s search had proven fruitless and today’s wasn’t going much better so far. The young alligator had plenty of entreaties from the high number of prostitutes along the Row but not the ones she was looking for. She was surprised at how many were into women. Had she not been so focused on her objective, Placid might have noticed just how many gave her more than the customary customer courtesy glances or quoted very discounted rates. She was startled by a couple that had offered freebies and almost considered taking them up on the offer but was afraid she’d miss who she was actually looking for. Rather than decline the offers out of hand, she told them she’d be back if she didn’t find her very specific couple of girls. Of the hookers she talked to about the pair, all of them smiled, chuckled, and tried to offer helpful hints where that pair might be working. Even checking in with the punker pegasus clerk Zoe at the Pleasure Dungeon hadn’t turned up much other than a two day old report that the pair had been in restocking on lube, condoms, and a couple of choice toys. Placid politely turned down an offer of a free backroom demonstration and returned to her search.\n\nThe alligator had reached the end of the Row and was considered turning back to try that backroom demonstration to work out her frustrations when her intuition told her to go around the corner. Getting a bit giddy, she ran right into the very pair she’d been looking for. After a hasty introduction and arranging a more private “meeting”, the trio headed to a room at the Lush Fantasy hotel. Several pairs of eyes looked enviously at the gryphon and rattlesnake.\n\nOnce in the room, the gryphon grabbed Placid, pushed her face down on the bed, held the reptile down and bound her with her own tie. With her glasses knocked askew, the scientist twisted her head around and squinted to try to get a view of what was going on.\n\n“Jess?! What the hell? She hasn’t even had a chance to tell us what she wants yet. We don’t even know if she’s into BDSM.” Something about that statement and her current predicament had the alligator’s thighs tingling. The rattlesnake’s tongue flicked out a few times. “OH! Never mind. She’s totally into it.” With a grin, the snake shed her clothing and slithered onto the bed next to the pair.\n\n“Jo, check her pockets!”, the gryphon barked. The snake frowned but did so, then checked the alligator’s handbag when the contents of her clothing proved to be ordinary.\n\n“Hmm, says she’s a doctor. Really? Which field? Gynecology perhaps? I’m looking for-“ A glare from the gryphon stopped the slinky reptile in mid-sentence. \n\n“What she could be is an assassin from Madam Thunder! She was asking around after us way too much for my liking.\" \n\n“Wait! I’m a scientist! I have doctorates in a lot of fields, especially genetics. I’ve been helping Dragon Lady to chart her powers. I know you two are Bridgeport’s heroes, Harlot and Charmer-OWW!!” The gryphon wrenched the alligator’s arms up hard cutting off anything else she would say.\n\n“See?!! She even knows who we are! I told you we were going to have to do something like this one da-“ The rattlesnake put a calming hand on her lover’s arm.\n\n“Easy honey, she’s telling the truth about helping Dragon Lady. Give her a chance to explain.”\n\n“Okay. Start explaining, gator girl.” Jesse eased up but made no effort to undo the tie around the alligator’s wrists. The way the gryphon was grinding her hips, Placid didn’t mind being tied at all. Getting her mind back on the task at hand proved difficult but the scientist explained everything including why she sought the pair out. \n\n“See? I told you.” Jolene flicked her tongue at her partner, a gesture Jess knew was the snake’s way of teasing the avian. “Now we can let her loose.”\n\n“Oh? Who says?” The rattlensnake flicked her tongue in the way that indicated surprise. The gryphon grinned teasingly. “People usually pay us for a good time, not an interrogation.” Jesse leaned over the alligator and winked at the snake. “This one’s on the house. Even the room.” The hybrid avian and serpentine reptile started taking certain liberties with their extremely willing captive much to Placid’s tortured delight.\n\n[b]Temporary lunar observation post, Clavius crater, the moon – three days later[/b]\n\n[i]Advance scout observation update report recording.\n\nIn the past “week” (reference time measurement index appendix), the self-enhanced creature, now identified as “Brute” by the creatures’ transmissions has become what they call a “celebrity”. He has been the subject of most of the information transmissions nearly as much as “Dragon Lady”. There is to be a special information transmission tonight with this Brute and Dragon Lady to assure the population of “Gammorah Bay” that Brute is not danger to them, then Dragon Lady will answer questions about herself. It is unlikely the population will learn what I’ve discovered but I will view the transmission for any additional information that may possibly be learned.\n\nEnd update report[/i]\n\nThe observer sighed, rubbing his eye ridge. He so hated reports. He’d be watching the transmission tonight but he had his own reasons for doing so even if he wouldn’t admit them even to himself. Rather than getting too introspective, he tapped for access to some of his observational recordings saved for his personal perusal, selecting a couple of choice encounters between Dragon Lady and the mayor, then the pronghorn and the alligator scientist to finish with. After double checking the time and programming his playback to switch to the transmission after playback finished, he was surprised to find his dark shaft already out demanding attention. It was even dribbling a bit already. It didn’t take long for him to peak but he found the energy to beat his personal best record for number of orgasms over the next few hours.\n\n[b]“Brute Manor”, Headland Heights, Gammorah Bay – mid-day[/b]\n\n“NNGGAAHHHHH!!! Give it to me, YOU BEAST!!!!”, Dragon Lady howled lustfully as she slammed her hips down. The Brute roared as his cock thrust up to meet her frenzied humping and blasted his semen deep inside of her. She stopped atop his bulk for a moment to let him catch his breath, her mane falling into place over her blazing eyes. \n\n“Is that all you’ve got, stud?”, the rhoanthekan purred proactively, her mouthful of sharply pointed teeth showing in her fierce grin. The Brute shook himself and grinned back just as toothy. Without pulling out of her, he shifted her body and his bulk around until she was on her hands and knees and he loomed above her. “Do me.”, she hissed, barely audible but he still managed to hear her. The mutated alligator pulled back and slammed into her with a loud squelch as he took his own sloppy seconds. He pounded the dragoness like a heavy surf slamming against a rocky coast. She snarled and hissed loudly ramming back against him. The beast arched his back, driving his erupting cock deep into her as more of his spunk splashed about inside of her.\n\nGordon eased out of the superheroine and collapsed on his back next to her. Slowly, sense returned to his eyes but hers still flamed brightly. He grinned broadly at the rhoanthekan as he wriggled his upper body back and forth, which couldn’t have been easy considering his large triangular scutes.\n\n“AHHHH!!! Thank you, Dragon Lady. I was getting to be too much for the girls to handle. I actually wore Leonora out.” The dragoness chuckled.\n\n“My pleasure, sweetie. And my responsibility. I did agree to take care of you to assure the police you wouldn’t rampage again. I do wonder how we’ll ever explain this to the gathering at the theater tonight.” \n\n“Delicately, my dear. Delicately.” \n\n“There isn’t much that’s delicate about you, you Brute.” Dragon Lady winked playfully. “C’mon, love. Let’s hit the shower and clean up so the ladies and I can get you into that suit Placid put together to cover your rather prodigious condition.” \n\n“But there’s still a few hours-“\n\n“Not if we’re going to do it again in the shower. I love getting fucked under running water.” Gordon rumbled lustfully, starting to feel brutish again as he rose and shuffled behind her headed for the shower then he paused.\n\n“Um, before that shower would you mind helping Michelle, Bridgit, and Jodi with Denny? He’s gotten a bit out of hand the last couple of days too. He’s, well, he’s one of my earlier animal experiments with the formula, a quadruped stallion.” Dragon Lady’s eyes flared brightly at the word stallion.\n\n“Far be it from me to let an animal suffer. Lead on, big guy!” The rhoanthekan licked her snout in anticipation of her encounter with Denny.\n\n[b]Stanley Theater, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – early evening[/b]\n\nPlacid rocked on her feet and heels as she always did when she was extremely nervous. Getting her contingency plan backstage had been easy enough but she was concerned if Gordon and Dragon Lady would show in time and how well the interview would go. She kept glancing up into the backstage rafters and was sure she spotted her contingency plan in place. Sometimes having these intuitions really bothered her. They weren’t specific enough for her. For all she knew, the trouble she sensed could be nothing more than the eagle Joshua Deacon Wright’s morality movement protest outside of the theater, though they were trouble enough for any event. Too many variables, she kept chanting over and over in her mind making her all the more nervous.\n\n“Damn girl! Take it easy. Or do I need to drag you off to the bathroom for some ‘stress relief’?” The alligator jumped a bit though she recognized the voice of the mayor. Hands gripped Placid’s shoulders and provided a little high-speed massage settling her nerves a bit. \n\n“Thanks, madam mayor. I just hate situations with so many unknowns.”\n\n“Honey, it’s just Dakota for you. You know me too well for that ‘madam mayor’ crap.” The pronghorn winked walking up next to the jittery reptile. “And it’ll all go fine. Your cousin seems to have a good head on his shoulders when he’s not letting the one between his legs control him. And Dragon Lady needs to learn to deal with pressure situations, even if that pressure is facing the press.” Before Dakota had a chance to bring up the restroom break, a now familiar pair of faces approached the politician and the scientist.\n\n“Madam mayor. Hello, Placid.” Tricia the osprey nodded warmly at each woman. “Everything is ready for your cousin and Dragon Lady.”\n\n“Tricia.”, the alligator replied, a coolness in her tone, and Dakota noted she wouldn’t make eye contact with the raptor. The pronghorn regretted her own distance from the young reptile after getting so close. She rubbed a reassuring hand on the scientist’s shoulder and the corners of Placid’s mouth turned up slightly. From behind the osprey, Celine greeted everyone with a grin on her face and her tail swishing about. \n\n“You don’t suppose Dragon Lady will bring her husband tonight, do you?”, the snow leopard whispered to Dakota when the others weren’t looking. The question caught the pronghorn completely by surprise. No thanks to recent tensions, she hadn’t been with Todd or Dani in the past week but the way Celine was acting, the leopard had. Before Dakota could respond with anything, Todd came walking up to them. Celine immediately latched on to him. The pronghorn glared at Todd and he somehow knew he was in for it though not what for. Somehow sensing trouble, Tricia pried Celine away from Todd with the excuse that they had last minute preparations backstage. Dakota introduced the rhoanthekan as one of her closest and oldest friends in a way that suggested their relationship was so much more than that but Placid was already putting some pieces together. She kept her conclusions to herself as the pronghorn introduced her to Todd. \n\n“Doctor York? So your cousin is this ‘Brute’ that’s just about everywhere now?” Todd shook the scientist’s hand with a warmth that made her thighs tingle, something no man had been able to do to her before. \n\n“Yes, I’m afraid so.”, she finally answered, realizing she was daydreaming about those blue eyes and running her fingers through that golden mane or better yet, getting a firm grip on those horns as that snout got busy between her legs. “I’m sorry.”\n\n“No need to apologize to me, doctor. I’ve had a lot of extra work this past week thanks to all the new ad campaigns.” Todd smiled and the alligator grinned toothily for no other reason than he was. “I’m a graphic artist and my workload has tripled since Mr. Scheuller signed all of those endorsement contracts.”\n\n“Oh, I wasn’t apologizing for him, I mean that I, well, um-“ Placid grinned sheepishly, not sure how to explain what she’d really been apologizing for. She was saved from further embarrassment by Dakota who had turned up someone else she wanted to introduce, a wolf dressed a bit more smartly than Todd’s ordinary suit and sporting a pair of goggles. \n\n“You remember the Gungewolf show, don’t you Todd? I’d like you to meet the Gungewolf himself.” Todd held out his hand and shook the stylish wolf’s.\n\n“Hey, interesting shows you put on here. I hope to catch it someday.” Dakota flashed the expression that usually let Todd know he had done or said something awkward.\n\n“I wish you could but the last one was a couple of nights ago.”, the wolf said plainly. He didn’t seem overly sad but not happy by any means. He might have still been in a state of shock. “The theater decided not to allow me to sign them up again and I can’t find another location.” Not sure what to say, Todd turned to Dakota instead.\n\n“Why didn’t you say anything?”\n\n“I might have but you were busy.” The pronghorn’s emphasis on the last word made it clear exactly what the rhoanthekan had been doing. \n\n“Aw, yeah. That. Sorry. Not quite my idea.” Placid had the sense that if anything Todd was understating the truth. “And I’m sorry about the show. I would like to have been to it at least once.” The wolf shrugged but grinned doing so.\n\n“It may be gone but now I can pursue some of the bigger projects I’ve had to put on hold.” There was a particular gleam in the mammal’s eye that captured Placid’s attention. Before she had a chance to ask what projects he was referring to, Dakota ushered them all into their seats as the theater started filling up. As guests of the mayor, theirs were all I the front row.\n\nThe wolf sat along the center aisle seat with Dakota to his right. Todd took the seat to the right of her and finally Placid next to him. The next two seats were reserved for Tricia and Celine and the rest of the row filled with journalists. The two in the seats to the right of the empty ones intrigued the scientist. She rubbed her middle finger on the rim of her glasses and her view zoomed in on their name tags. The honeybee was Denise Wachs and the oriental looking dragon was Andrew Pierson. The alligator recognized the names from photos and coverage of the attack during the museum opening and Gordon’s surrender to the police. Another of her intuitions told Placid these two would bear watching in the future and in some way confirmed her fears about the evening.\n\nSomeone’s cell phone sounded a text message alert. It ended up being Todd’s. He glanced at it then back up into the crowd behind him. A blue rhoanthekan, a deep red draconid and a gryphon waved down at him. Todd and Dakota waved back and he replied to the text.\n\n“Who’s that?”, Placid asked hoping she wasn’t nosing her snout in where it didn’t belong. Something did look a bit familiar about her though. \n\n“My mother-in-law and her two girlfriends. She wondered about having dinner after the interview was over. My wife had to work tonight so I have to message her to find out what time she gets off and we can go from there, that is if you’d like to join us. You’d better come too Dakota. Remember your condition and bring Mr. Gungewolf. I may not get to see the show but at least he could tell me about it.” Placid grinned. It seemed the red rhoanthekan had learned how to emphasize certain words to convey a great deal of meaning from the pronghorn. Still curious about the blue rhoanthekan, the alligator looked back and zoomed in on her. Turning around, she thumbed through her pictures on her custom phone to one she kept of The Starfighters and withheld a gasp. She glanced back up at the rhoanthekan then at the draconid. They had to be none other than Bombshell and Star Power. More pieces were falling into place.\n\nPlacid’s attention was distracted from her analysis by the entry of Gordon’s entourage of ladies. All of them looked stunning in their dresses, probably having been selected by Tricia and Celine. The pair had good taste. The alligator waved at Janet and Leonora and they waved back as they took their seats. \n\nThe whole auditorium went quiet as Dragon Lady stepped onto the stage, followed by the shuffling bulk of the mutated alligator most of them were there to see. Placid smiled to herself at the suit she’d designed to minimize Gordon’s biggest attribute since his change. And he looked darn sharp if she did think so herself. She turned to her other bit of fashion design also up on stage and grinned. Placid was still damn proud of Dragon Lady’s costume. A sharp intake of breath drew her attention back to Todd, who was staring at the shield on the lady rhoanthekan’s chest and Placid wondered if she’d taken a real gamble on her inspiration. \n\n“Wow, that looks so much like something I drew up for my wife” The alligator gulped and practically winced but Todd grinned. “Looks much better on her chest than it would have on business cards. I guess whoever had the idea must have tuned into the same wavelength.” Placid breathed a mental sigh of relief. “Are you okay?” The reptile stiffened.\n\n“Ju-just nervous about the interview! For my cousin. I’ve known him all my life but almost everyone here doesn’t know him at all. All they’ll ever see is a monster if this doesn’t go well.” Unconsciously, the rhoanthekan put a comforting arm around her. Placid normally didn’t think much of most guys and even less of being touched by them but she actually welcomed Todd’s strong, warm arm and hand on her shoulder.\n\n“It’ll be fine. You’ll see.” Tricia and Celine took their seats as television newscaster Sandy Trott stepped up to emcee and moderate the interview and the following question and answer session. The equine introduced Gordon first to the hoots, whistles and some shrieks, especially from his ladies. As soon as Sandy introduced Dragon Lady, the theater erupted into a standing ovation. Dragon Lady waved and smiled but Placid could see a touch of embarrassment at all of the attention.\n\nAfter everyone settled down, Ms. Trott started asking Dr. Scheuller about how and why his transformation had taken place. Gordon related how he was rather physically undeveloped and nowhere near anyone’s choice for romantic interest. He felt a career in science, especially genetics and chemistry, and research was the best way to overcome his inadequacies. Placid looked around and saw many people nodding. She was very surprised to notice that Leonora was one of those nodding most emphatically. The lioness was gorgeous. She also noticed that people were actually sympathetic to her cousin’s reasons. It looked like Todd might be right and the alligator settled against the rhoanthekan relaxing a bit. The gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Dragon Lady who almost missed a question about her role in taming the “beast”. The superheroine did her best to phrase her answer delicately but several minds in the audience were already reading between the lines. Some of Sandy’s seemingly more pointed questions weren’t helping either. \n\nPlacid wriggled against the warmth of the rhoanthekan she was leaning on and he held her tighter. The reptile grinned and nuzzled his chest. On the other side of Todd, Dakota was stroking the wolf’s thigh and giving him significant glances. Beside Placid, Tricia was getting powerfully snuggled by her snow leopard business partner and on the other side of them, the honeybee journalist was nudging the slightly more focused or oblivious asian dragon. If the alligator had been at all interested in looking elsewhere she would have seen all the members of the audience cuddling and snuggly with each other, including Gordon’s “harem”. Everyone was getting so friendly, it was starting to attract the attention of Dragon Lady, then Gordon. Sandy Trott drew there attention back with another series of pointed questions that both heroine and scientist were having trouble delicately responding to.\n\n“Whew! Is it getting warm in here or is it me?” Placid slid out of her coat and into Todd’s lap. “How about you really heat me up some more, studly?” She started fiddling with the buttons on the rhoanthekan’s coat and shirt. Behind her, Celine worked a hand under Tricia’s skirt, pulled the avian’s panties aside and stroked her slit. Beside them, the bee was making progress attracting the dragon’ s attention. On the other side, Dakota wasted little time dipping her hands into the wolf’s pants.\n\nOn stage, the equine reporter laid back in her chair crossing her legs provocatively and finally asked the mutated alligator about his size and how had Dragon Lady had handled him. That put the audience over the edge. The mayor got on her knees in front of the wolf, eased his penis out of his pants, and wrapped her mouth around it, sucking eagerly. The wolf immediately gasped and squirmed in his seat. Emboldened by the pronghorn’s actions, Placid pulled the rhoanthekan out of his seat, shed her pants and panties, sat back in the seat and beckoned Todd between her legs. The dragon dove in eagerly and the alligator cried out in pleasure as his tongue lashed her pussy and clitoris. Beside them, Celine bent the osprey over the arm of the seat and slammed her barbed feline shaft inside Tricia. The raptor squawked, delighted to finally be mounted by her snow leopard partner in so many ventures. The honeybee and dragon were getting off to a slower start but Denise was bringing him up to speed quickly in getting him undressed. And they weren’t alone. The theater exploded in unbridled lust.\n\nDragon Lady rose to her feet to get to the bottom of things. Sandy Trott leaped to her feet as well, her body seeming to shimmer and waver. The wavering finally resolved itself into another rhoanthekan, a rather upset looking orange-ish red female with a long spiky blonde mane decked out in dark purple dominatrix gear that accentuated her curves but still hid everything. Something about the other dragoness seemed very familiar, alluringly familiar.\n\n“Hold it right there, you slutty charlatan!” The dominatrix pointed an accusatory finger at Dragon Lady. “You can’t fool me and when I get through, you won’t be able to fool them either!” In the audience, Andrew managed to shake whatever was affecting him enough to snap pictures of what was happening on the stage even as Denise was having her way below his belt. Not only was what the insect doing proving a distraction, everyone else getting it on plus whatever was in the air made it difficult to hold the camera but what was going on with Dragon Lady would be important someday. He just knew it.\n\n“Who the hell are you?”, Dragon Lady challenged as she gestured to Gordon to stay put. Whatever was affecting everyone else wasn’t affecting them and the heroine had a feeling that the mutated alligator might be responsible for that. \n\n“I? Who am I?!! I-“, the dominatrix gestured theatrically, “-am Mistress Diabolica!”\n\n“Uh…yeah. So, um, like what do you want?”\n\n“What do I want?! WHAT DO I WANT?!!! Hm, what do I want? Oh yes! I am going to expose you for the glory-hogging tart you really are, not this altruistic fraud you’re trying to pull on these poor hapless, er, horny- no, VERY horny people… Wow, look at them go and those two. Is that even physically possible? Whoa, go gator girl, go!! Ride that dragon!!” Dragon Lady shifted her eyes in the direction to see Dr. York romping up and down on her husband reverse cowgirl style. “Hey! Why aren’t you rutting your brains out right now? [b][i]GASP!!![/i][/b] You’ve figured out my plan!! How dare you, you- you super strumpet!!!” The tirade left Dragon Lady dumbstruck for a couple of minutes. Mistress Diabolica sidled up close. “If you want a job done right-“ and she planted a kiss right on Dragon Lady’s lips. Deranged or not, the other woman knew exactly how to handle the heroine. She was about to give in until a thought occurred to her.\n\n“Wait, you did this? How-“ Dragon Lady pushed the dominatrix away, albeit reluctantly.\n\n“It’s likely airborne. Possibly in aerosol form I would say.” Gordon spoke up. “You and I are probably unaffected because my own pheromones are acting as a shield. \n\n“Airborne huh? You, Mistress Malevolence, stay put until we can get you back on your medication. Keep an eye on her Gordon. If she moves, let me know and I’ll handle her.”\n\n“How about some help with crowd control?”, a voice sounded from above. A gryphon dropped down from above the stage with a rattlesnake hugging her from behind. Both were dressed in what seemed like costumes. The hybrid avian was dressed in dark red street clothes and a leather hood while the snake was barely covered in light blue bands. “Harlot-“ the gryphon nodded then jerked her head in the direction of the snake, “-and Charmer. Dr. York thought you might need some back up.” The rattler flicked her tongue at the rhoanthekan, as her golden, slitted eyes focused on the dragoness. \n\n“Oooh, can I keep her?” The gryphon rolled her eyes and looked up at the ceiling shaking her head. \n\n“Don’t mind her. Her thing is working with emotions of others usually. Right now, all of them,” Harlot pointed at the seething sex crazed crowd, “-are overwhelming hers. She’s normally a sweetheart., just not so forward.” \n\n“Well then, let’s take care of them and get her back to normal.” Dragon Lady inhaled then blew out creating a gust inside the theater that blew the air up and out of the vents in the ceiling. The air may have been cleared but the crowd was still very much under the spell of the Mistress’s creation. It did give Charmer the break she needed to get herself back under control. “Now let’s peel them off of each other – gently.” \n\nIt took a while to get everyone untangled. The real Sandy Trott was located backstage trussed up, all sexually frustrated with a desperate desire to work it off. While Gordon sorted his ladies out, Dragon Lady helped up Dakota and her wolf friend. The pronghorn was already making plans with him to continue their fun elsewhere using words like “messy” so the rhoanthekan turned to her husband and Dr. York to give the mayor some privacy. The dragoness eased the alligator to her feet where Placid stood knock kneed and unsteadily as Todd’s semen dripped out of her. Todd could only grin sheepishly and shrug in his defense. Dragon Lady frowned in mock disapproval. In truth it had been really hot to watch her husband get it on with the lesbian alligator and the rhoanthekan couldn’t wait to get her turn once this was all sorted out.\n\nDown the row, Denise reluctantly released Andrew but made him promise to finish what they started once they’d filed the story with the newspaper. In the end only the pair of Celine and Tricia refused to be separated except of their own volition in their own time. Dragon Lady got them moved to a dressing room in the back where they could finish in private. The rhoanthekan let Harlot and Charmer help her mother, Althea and Katie out. The last thing the heroine wanted to do tonight was explain how she could violate the promise she made to Karyn. In the meantime, Mistress Diabolica had worked the device that allowed her to masquerade as Ms. Trott rendering her invisible and she slipped quietly away.\n\n“She’ll be back again.”, Placid proclaimed confidently. “Don’t be too surprised if she ends up as your arch enemy.” Dragon Lady frowned not sure if she was at all comfortable with the idea of having an arch enemy, especially one that seemed so familiar. \n\n[b]Maya Mountains, Belize, Central America – late evening[/b]\n\n“Can you believe they pre-empted my show for this?”, the black rhoanthekan snarled staring at the playback from the Stanley Theater he received via satellite on the laptop screen. \n\n“Oh no, we can’t.”, the emerald boa replied sarcastically. “You’ve only been ranting about it all damn night, Obsidian. Oh and news flash! These super heroes are news, not like finding some moldy, forgotten tomb in the middle of the jungle, especially when everyone tears off their clothes in a giant orgy like that.” The snake leered at several of the men in the footage wishing she could have been there in the middle of it all.\n\n“Esmeralda, let Mr. Dharkarius get it out of his system.” The boa glared for a moment at the senior archeologist for the expedition. The cobra let the glare slid off like water on her scales. Evelyn Conners had worked with Esmeralda Montoya long enough not to get too mad at her for these outbursts. It was just the boa’s way of venting frustration just like Obsidian’s raging at the TV and his producers back home. “He’s- we’ve all waited a long time to get into this tomb. It’s not going anywhere, Obsidian. They promised to reschedule you a couple of days from now and we’ll open it then when our representatives from the Belize government get back. For now, let’s get some rest like the others.” The cobra grinned at the pair knowing that’d be the last thing they’d do. They’d already been ‘exiled’ away from the small camp already for keeping others up at night. As she slithered away to her tent, Obsidian wrapped a black arm around Esmeralda and led her back to his, now their, tent.\n\n“’Ranting all damn night?’ We’re starting to bicker like an old married couple.”\n\n“Then let’s make up like an old married couple.” The boa slid out of her clothes as easier than she shed her skin. Liking to take better care of his designer clothes, Obsidan took a bit longer but soon he was naked and pressed up against her verdant scales. Already his thick erection was pressing against her slit for access. Esmeralda shifted a bit and impaled herself on his long shaft. They kissed and wriggled together before he lay her out on the cot for the good, hard rutting she’d waited all day for but she had one last thought. “Hey, honey, why don’t we get into that tomb ourselves? Just you and me and a little hand held camera. It won’t be live but the discovery will be all ours and maybe you and I can nab a little something off camera just for us.” \n\n“Oh you sneaky snake. Must be why I love you so damn much. Fine, I’m with you. Now can we get back to some hard, passionate sex?” Esmeralda kissed him deeply as the tall ebony dragon humped her eagerly.\n\n[b]Undisclosed warehouse, Eastbay district, Gammorah Bay – late night[/b]\n\nToni Dharken sat fingering the mask and holding a small note bearing the words, [i]It’s all up to you[/i]. She frowned watching the recording made from the Stanley Theater the previous evening, replaying the part where The Brute explained about his pheromones again and again. Tori was already in the air, having booked a flight that left a couple of hours ago. It really would be all up to her until her sister returned but do it she would. She traced a finger along the plans they’d drafted together and grinned as she looked up at the dark shape in the shadows outside the single light over the table she was at. [i]Soon, very soon[/i] she thought to herself.\n\n[b]Grant residence, Beachport housing development, Gammorah Bay – late night[/b]\n\nA pair of black eyes eagerly watched the interview and subsequent sexual display on the headline news channel over and over again. The female shark shifted in her chair but didn’t move from it. By now Carrie’s attention had focused on the phony Ms. Trott but not on the fact she was a fraud. The equine looked so poised and confident posing questions to The Brute and Dragon Lady. The young fish’s therapist had suggested Carrie try to get out more among people and challenged her to find something that would really get her out of the house. The shark couldn’t think of anything more challenging and out among the people than being a newscaster. It would fit well with the correspondence degree she got in journalism and possibly make use of a couple of the others. She resolved to call her dad tomorrow to see what favors he might call in to get her on the air. \n\n[b]Temporary lunar observation post, Clavius crater – half lunar night[/b]\n\nThe observer was also running the recording from the Stanley Theater. The spectacle had been so grand but eventually he focused in on the one identifying herself as Mistress Diabolica. An idea was beginning to form, something so perfect he’d totally forgotten his usual update report just to focus on it. He ran the footage over and over again. His idea was audacious, outlandish, and reckless but it felt so fitting given what he had observed with these heroes and villains so far. And fun, he thought as the concept took full shape in his mind. Oh so much fun. More than all of his other assignments pooled together. Some of the details were still unclear but there was enough in place that he could relax and mull the finer points over.\n\nHe was just about to shut off the recording when his attention went to the scarcely clad rattlesnake. When she turned in the direction of the recorder, he paused and enhanced the image focusing on her face. Those eyes, he thought, there was something in those eyes. Something very, very familiar. And very, very lost to him or so he had believed. He had to be sure. His idea would not fulfill another goal now, a far more personal one.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "
Dragon Lady

Second Renaissance


Temporary lunar observation post, Clavius crater, the moon – quarter lunar night

Advance Scout’s update report recording.

Some very interesting developments have been, well, developing.  It appears that one of the creatures has found a way to alter himself into something closely resembling one of our shock troops.  Fact transmissions remain uncertain about how it happened but the new powered individual identified as “Dragon Lady” has been involved.  It is unclear if this indicates that the building creatures are aware of my surveillance and are preparing for what is to follow.  On-site observation and even interaction is becoming more imperative.  Data gathering for insertion plan is still ongoing and no plan has been selected as yet.  

End update report

The observer switched off his reporting device and turned his attention back to his monitors.  He hadn’t mentioned it in his report but neither Dragon Lady nor this “Brute” had been seen since they’d exited the lab.  His own monitors were having a difficult time locking into where they might be and this troubled him.  Had he been asked, he would have answered it was duty that caused his concern but in the privacy of his own thoughts, even he wasn’t certain that that’s all it was.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning

“Pardon my bad manners, Zeph-er, Ms. Mayor.  Do you take anything in your coffee?  Or do you even drink coffee?”  Dr. York kept flitting about her kitchen.  It looked a bit cluttered but everything was clean.  

“Black please.”  Mayor Dakota Jackson answered, doing her best to shake the metaphorical cobwebs from her head.  Dr. York’s bed next to Danielle had been comfortable enough but getting settled down enough to sleep had taken some time.  First she needed explanations and assurances about what had happened to her friend in the first place.  Once those had been satisfied, she tried to call Todd while Placid made her first examination of Gordon’s mutated state.  Not being able to reach Danielle’s husband only made things more difficult for her to get some sleep but eventually the pronghorn allowed herself to slow down enough to doze for a while.  Sleeping wasn’t so tough but getting going again could be problematic for her.  The pronghorn gratefully accepted the cut and took a sip.  It was like pouring gasoline on a fire and it didn’t take much to get Dakota going.  “How is your cousin doing?”  

“Based on the preliminary results I’ve been getting, it appears that Dragon Lady’s aggressive, um, shall we say treatment worked and the formula is burned out of him.  He won’t physically be changing any more than he already has.   However, it appears that what changes have been made will mean a overproduction of semen and testosterone.  Basically, he’ll be very horny and very virile until I can find a way to counteract that part of the change.  What data I have is incomplete and I’m having to reverse engineer the formula from blood samples I’ve taken from him.  I don’t have any of his original blood to work from so I’m having to use mine as a comparison and it will take the longer to come up with that way.  Right now, he’s resting though he claimed not to be tired.  I also looked in on Dragon Lady and she’s still sleeping.  I wouldn’t be surprised if she does for most of the day.”

“Wow, I do believe I understood all of that.  Congratulations doctor for explaining something like this and not going right over my head doing it.  And thank you for taking care of Dragon Lady and for your discretion.  We- she cant’ exactly just head into the hospital for things like this.  Too many forms and questions and tests.  Not to mention you know my little secret.”  The coffee was really beginning to kick in, making Dakota fidget for sitting a bit too long.

“Well, she did help my cousin but beyond that, I think she’ll be capable of helping a whole lot more.  I want to help her discover her abilities and her limits not so I can write some tell all book but because I believe she can help us all and maybe someday save our collective asses, Ms. Mayor.”  The alligator beckoned to Dakota to come take a look at something.  Grateful for even the little bit of activity, the pronghorn followed and found herself in a good sized space.   Inside it resembled a museum with what appeared to be several lexan cubes.  Many seemed to have their own climate control and others completely sealed to the outside.  All contained something related to The Starfighters, the superhero group Dakota had belonged to.

“I believed in what you and the other Starfighters did then, even after the big disaster.  Now that I’m older, I still believe more than ever.  And I want to believe in what she can do, not because I think we need a savior, but we do need something to aspire to, some level to strive for.  She’ll be there well ahead of us if she isn’t practically there already.”  The pronghorn looked right at Placid and could see the conviction of those words right in her eyes.  “But I can hardly believe how cool it is you’re standing here.  I’ve pieced together some things studying ever bit of data I could find and extrapolating others and plain guesswork but I still have so many questions.”  Dakota rubbed her head waiting for the inevitable what was so and so like and how did it feel to kick so and so’s ass and who did she have the hots for but she motioned for the alligator to ask anyway.

“I think the biggest one I’d really like to know is what was up with that fringe on your outfit?  It seemed like it would create a lot of drag while you were running, get caught on things and be a general nuisance.”

“Placid, honey, call me Dakota.  I think we’re going to be great friends.”

Schuster Square Apartments #411, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning

Trent awoke leaning against the doorway of the hallway bathroom in the apartment he shared with Leonora Stone.  The lioness was still sleeping.  Trent looked about then touched his mouth to find out what happened to his tongue.  It was back where it belonged and he almost dismissed it as a dream but he pulled on it.  The simple tug pulled out far more than it should have and Trent panicked for a second, wishing his tongue were right back where it had been.  His tongue whipped out of his hand and right back into his mouth.

The okapi blinked then stuck his tongue out again so he could have another look at it.  It was still that same odd purple-blue color it was last night after he had gone down on Leo.  He thought for a bit, then tried touching his ear with his tongue.  Something warm and wet tickled his ear and it flicked.  At the same time he tasted his own ear and felt the short fuzz that covered it.  He did the same with the other ear.

The okapi grinned around his still extended tongue and wondered what else he could do when he noticed the tent in his jeans.  He undid his pants and pulled them down as best he could from his seat on the floor.  Trent moved a bit so he was hunched over his own black erection and flicked his tongue over the head.  He shivered as the slightly saline taste of his own precum registered in his brain at the same time the touch of his tongue had.  Trembling in excitement, Trent wrapped his tongue around the head of his cock.  Having licked his girlfriend clean numerous times after sex, he had an idea what his own cock tasted like but never so strongly or so intimately.  The okapi wrapped his tongue around his entire length and stroked it a couple of times before intense embarrassment stopped him.  After all there was an available pussy nearby and Leo loved it when he ate her out.  

“Aww c’mon honey.  You were really onto something.”  Trent looked up to see Leonora propped up on her elbows, a lustful grin on her face.  Already her pussy was dripping at the sight of her boyfriend doing himself with his own tongue.  “Jerk yourself off with your tongue, Trent.”  Knowing there would be no way he’d get any pussy until he did what she wanted, the okapi went back to stroking his erection with his tongue.  If asked, he would have compared it to having wet snakes wrapping around his dick but he could also feel and taste what the “snakes” were wrapped around.  With such overwhelming stimulation, it wasn’t long before Trent popped and semen coated his tongue.  Like the taste of his own cock, the taste of his semen wasn’t all that unusual to the okapi but he’d never experienced an orgasm like this and he made much more than the usual mess he did inside of Leo.  He could also swear that he could practically feel some of the sperm wiggling on the surface of his tongue.  

“Well?  Clean yourself up.”  Trent withdrew his tongue and licked up the mess.  After she had watched him lick every last dollop, Leonora rolled onto her hands and knees and lowered her chest to the floor.  She raised her tail.  The okapi’s cock perked up a bit and he drooled.  “Gimme the deepest rimjob ever, lover!  And maybe a couple of those electric shocks while you’re at it.”  In an instant, Trent’s expression fell.  Leo wasn’t the greatest at cleaning shit out of her fur.

Trent got behind her and licked at the lioness’s anal pucker.  To his surprise, she was fairly clean and she smelled strongly of the scent he loved most.  He pushed his tongue inside of her to find her relatively clean inside too.   He remembered the electric shock and just as he was wondering how to do it again, he gave her anus a slight jolt that made Leonora squirm and gasp.  Emboldened by her reaction and not finding anything to ruin the mood so far, the okapi pressed deeper inside of her, zapping the lioness with slightly stronger shocks as he went.  He worked his tongue in and out of her as if it were his cock, pumping the sphincter and zapping as he did.  Finally, Leo clenched, roared and squirted all over his lower body.  His erection twitched, making its needs clear.  Trent eased his tongue out of Leo’s ass, then gave her enlarged clit a small jolt.  Leonora shuddered.

“Okay, honey, you earned it.”, she practically purred though big cats shouldn’t have been able to do so.  “Fuck me!”  Trent grinned and mounted her enthusiastically.  This would be one fuck she wouldn’t forget.  

Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – mid-morning

“I’m coming, dammit!”, Toni hollered as she kept struggling with getting her pants fastened.  She wished she’d just tossed on some sweat pants instead.  It was probably just her parents again.  They had been so fussy last night and earlier this morning after bringing her home from the hospital late last night.  “Honestly I’m fine!  Can’t a woman take a piss in peace?”, she muttered under her breath.  She finally got her button fly to catch and managed to waddle to the door.  

“Heya, sis!”  Toni gasped and flung her large arms around her very tall older sister.  “I saw the news and talked to mom and dad.  I couldn’t get Todd or Danielle but I was headed here first anyway.  How are you?”

“I should be tired, Tori.  You know how I get hauling this bulk around.”  Toni jiggled her belly.

“Toni baby, I wish you wouldn’t do that to yourself.  You are a beautiful young woman.”  Tori Dharken gave her sister a hug.  “Someday I’ll see to it you see that for yourself.”

“Yeah, well Dragon Lady and that Brute didn’t see things that way.”  The younger rhoanthekan then related what had brought her to the lab, her discussion with Jodi on the way there, talking to Director Midland then getting trapped and the circumstances of her rescue.  Tori listened intently, hugging her sister when she felt the younger woman needed it.

“Well hon, it sounds like Dragon Lady had to do something about this Brute fellow.”

“Hah, she could have flipped that table as easily as he did.  It wouldn’t have taken her a couple of seconds where it took the security, fire and policemen two and a half hours.”  Tori did have to concede that point.  

“At least you’re safe now.  And what about this Director Midland?  She sounded like she was interested in you.”  The older rhoanthekan gently poked her sister’s belly.  “All of you.”

“I finally thought about that too while I was stuck for so long.  I found her later at the hospital.  By then all she could think about was that damn Brute.  That was all most of them could do including Jodi for a while until she remembered her son.”  Toni’s shoulders slumped.  The older woman rested her chin against her sister’s cheek and gave her a kiss for support.  

“You know I love you.”  Toni leaned into her sister.  

“Yes I do.”  Tori was about to make a move that was sure to get her sister out of the dumps and into a whole new mood when the younger rhoanthekan straightened up.  “OH!!  I almost forgot.  I found these notes.  I know I shouldn’t have taken them but they looked too important to leave just lying around.”  Toni fetched the notes and handed them to Tori.  The older woman studied them for a few minutes while thinking of her sister’s story.  Several things clicked into place.

“Honey, do you mind if I stay with you while I’m in town?”  Toni clapped her hands in delight and hugged Tori tightly.  “Thanks.  Is your computer still in your office?  I’d like to have a look at these discs too.”

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – late morning

“So what’s the fastest you’ve been able to cum, sweetie scales?”, Dakota asked, while fingering the young alligator’s pussy.  Placid did her best to compose herself when the words “fast friends” flashed into her mind.  The reptile woman giggled at the thought, then tried to focus again on the question.

“Hmm, maybe 10 minutes?  I was really horny and this snake girl did me at a garden party.  Ohhh, her tongue…!”  Placid sighed at the memories.  She’d been tipsy at the time, very into this snake girl and it had been outdoors very near a large group of people.  Somehow those thoughts melted into those of the past couple hours as she and the pronghorn had looked over her collection and talked.  It hadn’t been long before Dakota had noticed that the alligator wasn’t wearing anything under her lab coat.  Placid confided that she usually went about her lab naked, one of the major pluses of owning so much property so close to the city, that she very, very much preferred the company of women, and it had been far too long since the last one.  It wasn’t long after that revelation that the scientist found herself naked on one of her living room sofas with an also naked pronghorn between her scaled legs asking questions about how quickly she could get off.

“Mmm, not bad.  So, fingers or tongue?”  Dakota licked her lips, knowing which she would prefer.

“Tongue.”, Placid whispered.  No sooner had the word left her mouth than the older woman was lapping and nibbling at the alligator’s already flowing slit.  Dakota attacked the reptile’s cooler, sensitive flesh and in perhaps two minutes, the young woman’s body twisted and writhed, wracked with orgasm after orgasm, a cycle the pronghorn kept her in for a good number of minutes.

When Placid recovered her wits, the pronghorn planted a kiss on her snout.  The alligator could taste herself on the mammal’s muzzle and tongue.  As they kissed, Dakota took the reptile’s cool hand and slid it between her warm mammalian thighs.  The cool digits slid up inside the slick, hot pussy and Placid worked them around as Dakota humped against her hand.

When their lips parted, Dakota pulled off of the gator’s dripping hand and lay on her back, spreading her legs.  Placid slipped in between those warm thighs and buried her snout in hot, dripping mammal cunt.  Never in her wildest fantasies had the alligator dreamed she’d get to eat out her favorite superhero and she absolutely never imagined that Zephyr could taste so good.  She lapped, licked and nibbled the delicious pussy and was soon rewarded with a juicy squirt of pronghorn cum followed by others until Placid’s face was dripping with Dakota’s release.  The older woman sat up hugging Placid to her and licking some of her own cum off of the younger reptile’s glasses.  

“Damn!  That was so good I could use a cigarette.”, Dakota sighed.  Neither of the Dharkens had picked up the habit despite their parents having all smoked when the kids were younger – all except Bernard.  The pronghorn almost laughed ruefully realizing he was the one that wasn’t around.  “Nasty habit I know.  One of the villains made me learn.  He thought it made me look young yet mature.  Used to give him a raging boner.  Did you ever see a duck boner?  I still can’t go to the guys side of The Pond.  My mother had me keep it up.”  The way Dakota said ‘mother’ made Placid curious but something about the tone also warned her not to ask.  Instead, the alligator shifted opening a drawer in the cocktail table next to the sofa.  She fished something out and handed it to Dakota.  It was a package of the pronghorn’s favorite brand of cigarettes.  Dakota looked at Placid.

“My aunt.  She taught some bad habits along with how to love a woman.”  Dakota considered putting the pack back down.  “I haven’t had a smoke in a while myself-“, the alligator continued, “-but like you said, that was so good I could really use one.”  The pronghorn slid two cigarettes out of the pack and handed one to Placid.  The alligator produced a lighter and lit Dakota’s.  Before she could light her own, the pronghorn leaned close and lit hers with Dakota’s already lit cigarette.  Both women took a drag as their bodies remembered how and exhaled.    

“Ohhh, not you too.”, Dakota groaned, seeing a magazine she’d rather have forgotten even existed in the drawer of the cocktail table.  Placid was confused for a moment until she remembered what else was in the table.  She grinned sheepishly.  

“Sorry.  My aunt knew I was a fan.  She bought me, um, several copies.  I’m afraid I ruined a couple before I learned to masturbate after looking.  I have few stored for safe keeping and scanned all of the pages a while back but I still like holding the real thing sometimes.”  Dakota took out the alligator’s copy of the infamous magazine to find her younger self smiling back at her.  The pronghorn flipped to the middle pages, uncharacteristically grinning at her own mostly naked body as she remembered posing, especially spreading her pussy for the photographer.  She blushed as she also recalled the fucking he gave her afterward too, telling her she’d really been quite a tease.

“I was underage when I did this.  My mother made up some bullshit story about being my agent which really wasn’t far from the truth actually, probably one of the few times she wasn’t lying her ass off.  She watched and she filmed me getting fucked by the photographer after the shoot.”  Dakota said it all flatly, as emotionless as possible, but it answered a number of questions for the alligator.  For a while, the pronghorn quietly flipped through the magazine while the pair smoked their cigarettes.  Placid finished hers first and started fingering herself.  When she moaned, Dakota looked at her, noticing the reptile was still covered in the lady mammal’s goo.  Dakota put out her cigarette and took Placid’s in the ashtray that had been in the drawer.

“Mmm, someone could use a shower.  Have you ever been fisted while warm water pours over those lovely back scales?”  Placid was about to answer that question when the pair was interrupted by someone clearing their throat from the doorway.  Leaning naked in the doorway, Dragon Lady would have been the picture of perfection and temptation for the alligator except for the crossed arms blocking her perfect double D’s and the disapproving scowl on her face.

“I didn’t have her call you just so you could get into her panties, Dakota.  Do you really need to make it with everyone that has tits and a pussy?  Wasn’t Zoe enough for you?”   Placid perked up at that name.

“Zoe?  I know a Zoe.  A punker pegasus uptown at the Pleasure Dungeon.  She’s cute, kinky and good in bed bu-“  The scowl from Dragon Lady stopped her in mid-syllable though it was more directed at Dakota than her but the alligator still wished she had the power to shrink from sight.  She settled for scrunching herself up against the pronghorn.  

“Look, Da- Dragon Lady, Zoe ended up going home with Melani, though for some reason they’d both still like to get to know you better.  As for this young lady, she happens to be a fan of The Starfighers and mine-“, Dakota rose up defensively.

“And you thought you’d ‘cash in’ on your past celebrity?”   A thought occurred to Placid that hadn’t before and she silently cursed herself for not thinking of it earlier.  

“Uh, hey, I didn’t mean to stumble into the middle of a lovers’ quarrel here.  If I slept with your woman, Ms. Dragon Lady, I am so sorry.

“Her woman?”  Dakota laughed.  “I’m nobody’s woman but she’s married.”  Both Placid and Dragon Lady managed to look hurt at that for differing reasons.  “Look, the truth is she is married but she and her husband play around.  They’re both really bi but love each other too much not to be married.  And I love them too much to not be a part of their lives but I have commitment issues so I play around too, mostly with other lovely women like yourself, Placid.  I just can’t help myself.  Girls like you and Zoe are too damn cute not to play around with.”

“Hmm, how about that shower?”, Placid asked without expecting an answer as she took Dakota’s arm.  “You’re welcome to join us if you’d like to, Dragon Lady, but remember, I’m a big girl and can make my own decisions about who I fuck.”  The alligator turned back to Dakota.  “You mentioned something about fisting in a shower?  I’ve had a few adventures but that sounds delightful.  And you said her husband was bi.  Does that mean he sleeps with other guys?  Does he take it up the ass?  I may be a lesbian but I’ve always wanted to see two guys going at it.”  

Dragon Lady stopped listening as Placid’s voice faded and powered down again.  She sat on the sofa and curled her legs up to her in something of a fetal position, wondering if she’d really blown it with Dakota this time and any chance she might have had with Placid too.  She wasn’t crying but damn close to it and she felt so tired too.  Then she wondered if her mother had ever had it this rough back in her super hero days, especially at the beginning when she’d been involved with Todd’s mom and dad before her own father had come along.

Schuster Square Apartment #411, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – late morning

Things weren’t going Trent’s way at all.  He tried fucking his girlfriend as hard as he could but she claimed it wasn’t enough for her.  At her suggestion, he fisted her and went in much easier than he should have.  He was in past his elbow when he realized that wasn’t going to do it for her either.  He finally hit the shower for a cold one while Leonora called up one of the other women from work and jilled herself while they talked about that Brute guy.  

Once in the shower, the okapi decided he didn’t want it nearly as cold as he thought he did.  He still had a half-boner from trying to get nail his lioness earlier, who on second thought didn’t feel so much like his lioness now.  He pondered stroking himself then remembered his trick in the hallway earlier that Leo had forced him into.  He blushed fiercely but that orgasm had been so intense.  He licked his lips and decided to try it again.

He snaked his tongue down to his cock.  Just a touch was all it took for it to come fully alert and erect.  He wound his tongue around his hard on, then put his hands against the wall and spread his legs as he’d seen numerous times on cop shows.  He slithered his tongue around his balls pausing to savor the new taste sensation and finally snaked the tip back under his tail.  Trent concentrated on stroking first, then on squeezing his balls gently and finally touched the tip of his tongue to his anus, zapping it with a slight electrical jolt.  His body reacted immediately and his cock spasmed.  With only a couple more very mild jolts, the okapi came hard against the shower wall.  He fell against the wall, holding himself up and barely holding onto consciousness.  He wound his tongue back up into his mouth, getting a taste of his own cream again.  He paused deciding he really should clean up his mess and licked the dripping spunk up careful not to get a taste of soap scum with it.   He thought to himself that this could be a decent fallback plan for a while just in case Leo did decide to dump him.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-day

Danielle was still trying to get herself together when she heard a familiar ringtone.  It was coming from Dakota’s coat hung over the back of a chair.  Normally she wouldn’t mess with Dakota’s phone but that particular ringtone meant Todd was calling and right now she really needed to talk to him.  

“Hey honey.”  She tried her best to sound calm and even.

“Hi Dani.  Are you okay?  I had a message from Dakota that didn’t make a lot of sense but she seemed very concerned about you.”  

“Yeah, I-“  She paused knowing he’d know it was a lie.  “Honey, do you think you could come home tonight?  I really need you right now.”  

“Sure, love.  I can be there.  Is there anything I can do right now?”  

“Uh, do you suppose it could just be us for a while?  Just for a bit.  Dakota needs help too but I need you to myself for a bit.”  

“Sure thing, dear.  Is everything okay between you and Dakota?”  Danielle paused.

“We’ll talk about that later if you don’t mind.  I’d probably better go.  I love you, Todd.”

“Sure honey.  I love you and I’ll see you tonight.”  Dani ended the call and slid the phone back into Dakota’s jacket.  She felt like she was betraying the pronghorn especially after her confession last night.  Nor could she have known about the feelings Dani already had for Doctor York.  The more she thought about the situation, the more she felt she should leave.  She took out Dakota’s phone and typed in a message, then left it back in the coat.  She went back to Placid’s bedroom, careful to avoid the shower, looked in on Gordon who was still resting, then looked about for her costume.

She could have flown home at super speed so no one would see her but she didn’t necessarily want to do so naked.  In the bedroom, she found her costume folded up only when she picked it up, it wasn’t her costume.  Looking closely, the fibers were carbon composite, no, better than carbon composites.  She then noticed the note.  It read, Thank you so much for helping Gordon.  Placid (Dr. York).  Danielle sighed and pondered reconsidering going but decided she really wanted to be home more than anything.  In a flash, her costume was on and Dragon Lady was nearly at her doorstep.

Roger “Double .00 Buck” Buckminster, Senior’s office, Washington D.C. – mid-day

“Thanks for letting me make the call, Buck.  I’m going to have to head home after the meeting.  Danielle needs me.  I’m afraid I won’t have time for playing around later.”  Todd hoped that being a married man himself that the buck would understand.  “In fact, I should probably head back now.”

“That’s okay, Todd.  We were pretty much done with the information I had anyway.”  The buck deer loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt.  “But it could be rather awkward if you arrived so soon after your call.”

“What are you doing?”, Todd asked, puzzled why the deer would be undressing.

“I’d say providing you with an alibi but that would be a lie.  Despite my position, I’m not politician enough to lie.”  The deer shed his shirt, undid his belt and pants and pushed them to the floor.  “Speaking of positions, you really should strip and assume yours, you know, that on your hands and knees with your tail up one I love so much.”  Without bending down, the deer slipped out of his shoes and stepped out of his pants.  With the help of repeated practice, he removed his socks by stepping on the ends and pulling his feet out of them.  The buck stepped up next to Todd completely naked and already sporting an erection.  “You didn’t think I was going to let you leave without getting a piece of that tail, did you?”  

Buck kissed the younger rhoanthekan as he carefully undid the buttons on Todd’s shirt and quickly undid the younger man’s pants.  In less than a minute Todd was as naked as the older buck who used his cybernetic arm to spin the dragon around, pin Todd’s arms and secure them tightly with the deer’s tie.  The stag turned him back around and kissed the rhoanthekan again, deeper and longer this time.  When they parted, Todd could see the aching need burning in the deer’s single eye.

“You know what a frigid bitch my wife is.  I can’t promise I’ll be gentle but I will be copious.”  Buck pushed the dragon onto his knees and took a firm grip on his horns.  The stag’s erection bumped into Todd’s snout and the dragon gave it a lick making it jump and Buck groan.  Having felt the moist contact, the buck’s hips thrust forward, jabbing his hard cock into the rhoanthekan’s maw.  Had Todd been another species, he might have gagged on the cannon the deer sported.  Clearly Buck hadn’t been getting any in a while and wasn’t in the mood for any foreplay.  

“Oh god!”, Buck grunted as he humped the younger man’s snout.  “You only have your father to blame for this.  I was perfectly straight until he started waving his tail about and flirting.  I had to fuck him to get the teasing to stop.”  Of course Todd knew.  Buck gave the same little speech each time he screwed the young rhoanthekan going back to their first time when Todd was an early teen.  The buck groaned but never paused fucking Todd’s mouth.  “Oh damn!!  Then there was you, you sweet little dragon bitch.  I saw you boning Zephyr after your twelfth birthday and couldn’t get you out of my mind.  It’s like you were teasing me too.  I finally got your parents to leave you with me so I could pop your sweet anal cherry!

Apparently the thought was one that still got to the buck.  He thrust his spasming cock deep into Todd’s mouth and a mighty blast of deer spunk splattered into the dragon’s throat.  A few more hard spurts followed but Todd managed to swallow them all and the buck pulled his dick out.  It was now evident to the rhoanthekan just how much in need the buck really was.  Even after that orgasm, his penis was still rock hard and ready for more.

Buck kneeled on the floor next to his young lover.  With his still flesh left hand, he stroked Todd’s own cock a bit as the rhoanthekan heard him rummage for something.  There was a squeeze on the dragon’s balls and he opened his mouth.  The buck shoved something hard inside and cinched it tight with a strap.  Now bound and gagged, the dragon was shoved onto his chest on the floor and he felt a strap tightened around his tail.  Buck jerked it up and slipped the other end under the strap of the gag and fastened it securely to keep the dragon’s tail from getting in the way.  

The stag picked up the bottle of personal lubricant he had placed with the gag, poured some of it out and stroked it up and down the length of his cock.  Buck poked one well-coated fingertip into the dragon, pulled it out then raised up and slammed his dick inside Todd.  The rhoanthekan whimpered around the gag.  The stag pumped his hard-on roughly into the dragon’s tight ass and cried out as his warm spunk blasted into Todd.  

Though he was older, the deer wasn’t done yet.  Todd had started to relax when the buck surprised him by fucking the dragon again.  The thrusts weren’t as hard but Buck definitely had energy to spare and he was going more for a marathon this time.  Todd moaned loudly around the gag, his own cock throbbing against his belly.  After several minutes, the stag’s thrusts came harder and faster until his hips slapped against Todd’s ass like a speed metal tune.  It wasn’t anywhere near what Dakota was capable of with a smaller size strap on but very impressive for Buck’s age.  The stag slammed in one last time and cried out, emptying his balls of their pent-up stores.

After several spasms, twitches and a couple more hard spurts, Buck pulled his spent cock out of the dragon.  His spunk squirted out of Todd’s ass even as it dribbled from his flaccid penis.  The buck grinned as the rhoanthekan relaxed again.  Even now, he still had plans for Todd.  The deer rolled the drake over and stroked some lube onto his very hard cock.  Buck raised up and sat down on the rhoanthekan’s erection.  Todd’s cock pierced the cervine’s ass and slid in.  The stag humped up and down on the dragon, clenching his ass as he did.  Todd whined loudly even with the gag in his snout then filled the stag’s ass just as Buck had done in the dragon earlier.  The older deer pulled off of the drake’s also spent dick.  Still clenching tightly, Buck undid the gag and pulled it out of the dragon’s maw, then turned around and stuck his ass in Todd’s face.  The deer released and the rhoanthekan’s semen dribbled into his own mouth.

Over in a corner of the room, an unseen voyeur saw the buck dribble the dragon’s own cum into his mouth and couldn’t hold back from his own release.  He pumped his cock as his eyes flared bright purple and shot his cum on the floor where it evaporated into rainbow mist.  Despite his orgasm, the visitor wasn’t at all satisfied.  Neither male could see him yet.  He wasn’t even a hint of something out of the corner of their eyes…yet.  Soon though, he told himself.  Getting the highly-repressed horny buck to fuck the very cute dragon was easy enough.  All it would take was a few more times just like this and he’d be doing the fucking.  

Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon

“Been a while, honey?”  Toni moaned and squirmed as Tori stroked her fingers between the thick folds of her younger sister’s wet pussy.  The two had spent the past few hours pouring over the notes Toni had come by, when the older sister thought they should do something fun and relaxing.  It hadn’t taken much to convince Toni that fun and relaxing meant a little incestuous lesbian playtime.  Once again, Tori pitied anyone who couldn’t look beyond her sister’s larger curves to see the delightfully horny young rhoanthekan she knew Toni to be.  Knowing exactly what would make the younger woman scream in delight, Tori worked the magic her fingers could and Toni squirmed and screamed out, coating those fingers as the older sister had planned.  “I love you.”, Tori whispered, holding her sister close.  Toni whispered something that sounded pretty much the same but was fading quickly and in moments, she was asleep.  Tori held her and thought about the formula, wondering just how it might be able to help her sister.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon

Gordon wakened from dreams of beautiful women, large monsters and rapacious sex.  It took him a minute or two to recall that they weren’t dreams but memories of the previous day.  Instantly, the mutated scientist felt a weight of guilt.  The enormous alligator pushed himself up off of the giant airbag his cousin had inflated for him to sleep on and onto his feet.  He shuffle-stepped to the other rooms of the lab, sniffing as he did so.  He caught a couple of familiar ones and another he didn’t recognize.  One of the familiar scents was faint.  Dragon Lady had already left the lab somewhat recently.  The other familiar scent was his cousin who was seriously aroused by the other unfamiliar but equally strong female scent.  A few more sniffs told him they were having a great deal of intimate fun together, brining a smile to his big snout, especially after finding out just last night Placid was a lesbian.

He moved on to the lab and found a pair of  round framed glasses in his original prescription fashioned to fit his resized snout.  After putting them on, he was able to check the results of Placid’s very early morning tests.  Nearly every fact and figure caused him to frown and rumble disapprovingly.  Thanks to his own work, Gordon didn’t need to see the results of the DNA tests to know his was altered probably beyond the ability of any treatment to return to normal.  That didn’t trouble him so much.  He rather liked this big new body.  What he didn’t like were the fluctuations in hormonal levels taken over just a few hours.  The results could still be considered preliminary but he had a sense they would read the same or worse.  He thought about the young women he’d accosted again and made a decision.

One phone call later, he was set to turn himself in.  Placid and her companion were still in the shower.  He chuckled thinking of the water bill she must be incurring, then turned to her computer.  Very, very carefully with a pencil he tapped out a message to his cousin.  Once he was done, he let himself out of the big hanger doors and made his way to the gate to the bay.

Dharken residence, Cliffside housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon

Danielle roused from the nap she’d been taking since getting home earlier.  She had the briefest sensation of the sound of a giant bird landing in the backyard before coming fully awake.  The rhoanthekan shook her head trying to rid it of any other dream remnants when the sound of the key in a lock captured her attention completely.  In an instant, she was on the other side of that door.

Todd stepped into the door and acted surprised his wife was standing there completely naked despite knowing she’d be standing there before he had opened the door.  She leaped at him, wrapping her arms around her husband and sealing her snout to his in a kiss.  Even with Dani clinging to him, Todd managed to shuffle through the door and close it behind him.  For a while even after they stopped kissing, Todd stood quietly hugging his wife as she remained wrapped around him.  She was actually beginning to worry him when she released her embrace and stood back to smile up at him.

“Hey you, I am so glad you’re home.  I’ve really missed you.”  Dani moved in close again and laid her head against her husband’s chest.  He almost started to say it had only been a day or so but in truth, the rhoanthekan hadn’t been around for his wife since the afternoon of the attack at the museum.  And there was whatever had happened between she and Dakota to consider but he felt now wasn’t the right time for that either.  He had an idea of what she probably wanted most but didn’t want to make any assumptions.  When all else fails, ask.

“I’ve missed you too, lover.”, he whispered, kissing her forehead.  “What can I do for you right now?”  

“Hold me.  Caress me.  Kiss me.  Most of all, I need you to fuck me – mouth, pussy, ass, I don’t care which but I need you to cum in me.  I need to know that I’m your wife.”  He sniffed her.  She wasn’t in heat but he could sense a great deal of tension and an overwhelming scent he’d come to associate with lust and the need for a good rutting that had nothing to do with reproduction.  

“How about a nice massage that gets into all of the places?”, Todd suggested.  Dani was already unbuttoning his shirt and working on undoing his pants.  

“Why don’t we move on to the main event right here in the living room.”  It wasn’t a suggestion.  She sniffed him as she bared his chest.  “Mmm, you smell like Buck.  How is the old stag?”

“Horny.  You would have loved watching us.  He tied me up and at the end sat on me and milked me.”  

“Not dry I hope”  Dani scowled.  She pulled her husband’s underwear off and his erection sprang out.

“Honey, for you there’s always some left in the tank.”

“Good!”  And with that, the female rhoanthekan pounced her husband pinning him to the floor and squatted on his delightful cock.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon

“Ooooh, you do that so well, Dakota!”  Placid grinned leaning back against the pronghorn and rubbing her tail playfully.  A couple of the reptile’s scutes slid against the older woman’s cleft just right and she peaked instantly.  For an instant her knees went weak but she recovered faster than the normal eye and many cameras could detect.  The only outward sign anything had happened as the mammal’s ejaculate trickling inside her thighs.

“Mmm, and you do that so well!”, the pronghorn remarked, taking no note that Placid had heard her at all.  Dakota grinned then it melted into a frown.  The younger woman had touched something in her that usually only Todd or Danielle usually did and she remembered her earlier statement about commitment issues came back to her.

The pronghorn was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice she and the scientist had started walking again until she ran into Placid who had stopped suddenly.  The reptile stood slightly shivering, her eyes staring ahead but unfocused as if she were looking at something else.  For a few moments, Dakota wondered if Placid was having an epileptic seizure.

“Oh no!”, Placid exclaimed, then blinked several times.  “Oh nonononono!!”  The reptile made a mad dash for her laboratory only stopping at the computer running the information gathered from the early morning tests run on Gordon.  Her scaled fingers dug into that impossible brown hair.  “OH SHIT!  Shitshitshit!!!  I-h-GAH!!  The dumb shit’s gone to turn himself into the police!!  Gordon, you dopey bas-“  Placid stopped mid-word and clicked on another window.  Her eyes scanned numbers that didn’t look like much to Dakota’s untrained eye.  “oh-!”, Placid exclaimed in a very small voice that sounded like a discovery and understanding.  The reptile’s snout tipped downward and she put a scaled fist to her forehead.  The younger woman looked about to cry, then composed herself and simply stated, “There’s nothing I can do about his condition.  It’s irreversible.”  

“If I can be said to have learned anything positive over the years, honey, it’s that there’s something that can be done about just about anything.  You only have to try and not be willing to give up.  And the first step-“ Dakota stood next to the alligator fully clothed, then Placid noticed she was also dressed. “-is to stop your cousin from doing something stupid so you can really start helping him.  Dragon Lady’s gone.  I’ve already checked.  Oh!”  The pronghorn had her phone out and noticed the note she’d been left.  She only frowned a moment, the hit the speed dial she was looking for.  

Dharken residence, Cliffside housing development, Gammorah Bay – early afternoon

Danielle had a tight grip on the bar countertop that she was pushing against.  She’d already coaxed a couple of loads from her husband thanks to riding him cowgirl fashion.  With his semen already trickling down her thighs, she decided to reward him by allowing him to fuck her ass as hard as he liked.  Tired as he already was, Todd jumped at the opportunity as Dani didn’t offer her ass up as much as he would like.  Having already popped three times in the day and with his wife squeezing her ass tightly as he thrust in, Todd came fast and hard inside Danielle who snarled delightfully and dug her fingers into the countertop.

As Todd pulled out, Dani looked at her hands, her eyes going wide.  She rather carefully removed her fingers trying not to draw attention to them.  If her husband did notice, he didn’t let on preferring to give her some kiss and nibbling on her neck as a way of thanking her.  She straightened up and leaned against him, rubbing her tail against his belly as his seed dribbled down the back of her legs.

“Feeling better dear?”, Todd whispered.  Dani nodded.  “Good.  Now maybe you can tell me what happened between you and Dakota?”  The lady dragon froze.  She and Todd hadn’t kept secrets from each other before, not even about their alternative notions on sexuality or their various encounters.  But this thing with her powers, she wasn’t sure how to handle it.  She was thinking as quickly as she could when her cell rang with Dakota’s ringtone.

“Well, that’ll be her now.  She’s probably just asking if I want to go out to dinner.  She doesn’t know you’re home yet.”  Danielle answered the phone as Todd looked to be headed to the bathroom.  That would help avoid some hasty explanations or covering up what needed to actually be said.  With a bit of trepidation, the female rhoanthekan hit the talk button.  

“Hello?  Look Dakota about earlier, I- um, I’m fine actually.  Todd’s home again and- OH!  You mean fine like that?”  Danielle glanced at her countertop.  “Uh, everything seems to be good to go.  Why?”  The pronghorn quickly summed up Gordon’s results and his note to Placid.  “I’ll see you there.”  Danielle dashed to the bedroom and slipped into the costume the female alligator scientist fabricated.  It slipped on much faster and easier than the one Dani had fashioned herself.  She knocked at the bathroom door.  “Honey?  Dakota and I need to have one of those women only talks.  I’ll see you after we try to get this sorted.”  And she was gone.

Todd knew she was gone already but waited a few seconds just to be sure.  Once out of the bathroom, he knew she was already gone out of the house.  Without hesitating, he left too though no one outside ever saw him go.

Memorial Cove near the Gammorah Bay memorial museum, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon

Gordon glided through the water as easily as one of his wilder cousins would through the swamps of southern Florida.  The cooler waters didn’t bother the mutated alligator.  The environment in general didn’t seem to bother him now.  He pondered trying a bit of fishing with his new body but didn’t feel hungry.  By everything he knew, he should have been starving.  His tail swished gently propelling him effortlessly through the water.  Gordon had never been much of a swimmer but now he felt as if he could qualify for the Olympics without trouble at all.  He almost lost himself in his delight of simply swimming that he’d just about forgotten why he started his journey from Placid’s lab in the first place. The bulky reptile altered his course toward the shore.

“You know, if I hadn’t listened to you about that little street fight up in the Bridgeport district last night, I would have had pictures of this guy already.  Harlot and Charmer aren’t real news these days.  And our photos and story wouldn’t have been dumped to page 5 instead of Donaldson’s sketch ending up on the cover page.”, Denise “Shutterbug” Wachs buzzed in irritation at Gregory “SnapDragon” Pierson.  The hybrid asian dragon ignored her as best he could.  She always followed him about then got mad at him when they weren’t where the breaking news was.  “I know the real reason you wanted to cover the fight.  You have a thing for the skimpy outfits those two wear.  I keep telling you they’re lesbians.  Even if they weren’t, I’m not sure they’d be all that impressed with your-“  Sometimes she could really get under his scales though and she had just reached that point.  He growled.

“I didn’t make you come with me.  And in case you didn’t even look at your own photos, that ‘little street fight’ was a gang war that involved 15 square blocks which Madam Thunder probably ordered to get rid of Harlot and Charmer.  Then again, I guess you were too busy snapping those crotch shots of Harlot to notice.”  Thought out to knock the sass out of the honeybee for a while, Greg thought.

“Maybe I didn’t notice the ‘gang war’ but the editor bought ALL of my pictures, Snaps.  Even if they were for her personal use.  I keep telling you the sooner you realize our editor is totally into these super babes, the more you’d be making too.”  Ever the professional, SnapDragon turned to her and stuck his tongue out.  Something moved in the bay looking like it was  approaching the shore.  Greg turned and snapped some shots of it.  It looked like a series of spikes that disappeared down into the water as they got closer.

Once close to the shore, Gordon dove and using his powerful tail, launched himself into the air.  He landed heavily several feet from the broken edge of the bank.  Dragon and bee snapped file after file determined to capture the front page this time.  Already awaiting the gargantuan reptile were units of the Gammorah Bay police department as he’d arranged earlier with his call from Placid’s lab.  He wanted to surrender here so Placid wouldn’t be involved as an accessory then remembered they’d probably traced the call anyway.  The alligator slammed his giant palm into his forehead.  The action seemed to make the police nervous so he held up his long arms as best he could.

Before any officer could actually move in to take custody of Gordon, a maroon, black and white streak appeared and resolved itself into Dragon Lady.  She stood between the police and Gordon, indicating the officers should keep their distance.  Shutterbug and SnapDragon shifted into high gear and Greg, remembering Denise’s words about the editor, snapped a few closeups of the superheroine.  Gordon shuffled to her side.

“What are you doing?  I’m here to surrender myself for what I’ve done.  I’m a danger to everyone!  Those poor women-“

“-May not feel the way you think they do.”  Dragon Lady nodded to a small group of police struggling with some very active and familiar women.  The ladies broke through and arrayed themselves between Gordon and the police just as Dragon Lady had done.  Gordon recognized them as the ladies from the lab.  All of them, including Director Midland, were saying they refused to press charges and that he was a good, kind and gentle man.  Gordon blushed at all of the attention he seemed to be getting.  Uncertain what to do, the lead officers stood conferring with one another.  

“Ugh, I hate it when they just stand around and talk.”, Gregory grumbled.  A sudden gust of wind rushed past he and the honeybee, cooling them both temporarily.  It was a reminder what a warm day it was.  “It’s too hot already for this crap.”  Out of some of her compound eye, Denise noticed a large, familiar shape.  The shape extended something resembling an awning over them and the pair felt cooler.  Greg looked up, puzzled when it felt cooler without a cloud in the sky.  He shrugged at the honeybee.  

“Thank you.”,  Denise spoke to the shape and buzzed in delight when she got a happy rumble in response.

“For what?”  Greg gave her a strange look.

“Just thanking the dragon for the shade.”  The asian hybrid dragon looked around them not seeing either the dragon or the shade the insect was talking about but he did have to admit it did feel cooler than it had before the wind gust.  Perhaps it had cooled them off and some breeze he couldn’t feel coming off of the waters of the cove were still keeping them cool.  Greg shook his head and turned back to what was going on just as Mayor Jackson emerged from the crowd trailed by another alligator, a woman.  The reptile’s lengthy straight brown hair really attracted his eye and Greg snapped several images of her, curious about who she might be.  

Dakota took charge immediately and introduced Plaicd to several of the ranking officers, then indicated Gordon.  SnapDragon strained but couldn’t make out what was being said especially over the noise of the crowd that had gathered or the women surrounding the mutated scientist.  

“I don’t suppose your imaginary friend can hear what’s going on.”, he muttered to Denise, annoyed he would probably have to wait for some official press conference and not get the full story even then.

“Well he didn’t say so, but he’s not imaginary.  I’m not sure I understand him in words per se but he’s giving me the sense that the mayor is urging the police not to arrest the big guy there.  He’s just a scientist what tried something and the experiment way backfired on him.  It doesn’t look like it backfired to me.  He certainly doesn’t have anything to be ashamed about in the meat department”  Denise produced a whistle somehow, possibly by rubbing or vibrating her wings a certain way.  Greg felt a pang of jealousy that he quickly dismissed not wanting to interrupt his insect companion’s narrative.  “The alligator woman with the mayor is the big guy’s cousin and Mayor Jackson insists that she can find some way of helping undo what he did to himself.”  The mayor motioned for Dragon Lady to come join the discussion group.  The superheroine approached but it was clear to the sharp-eyed dragon hybrid that something was up between her and the mayor, something likely personal and quite possibly involving the young lady alligator.  There was more discussion in the knot of people.  “Now he says that Dragon Lady is working to assure them that she will take personal responsibility for his behavior.  It sounds like the police are reluctantly agreeing to let Dragon Lady look after the big guy, mostly under some pressure from the mayor.”

The group seemed to be breaking up with Mayor Jackson, Dragon Lady and the lady alligator approaching the ring of women and the mutated alligator.  The pronghorn explained things to the women as the lady reptile approached her cousin and hugged his enlarged snout.  Dragon Lady put a hand on the younger woman’s shoulder and said something to both alligators.  Denise’s source seemed strangely quiet now.  SnapDragon pulled out his cell phone and placed a call to the Epoch’s office.  He turned to Denise and hit speaker phone.

“How about we share the byline on this story?  We only know what we do because of your, um, source.”  Shutterbug buzzed happily.  “But we won’t mention how we know all of this.  Confidentiality and all that, right?”  

Toni Dharken residence, Kirby Park housing development, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon

Tori frowned at the television.  Breaking news coverage about the mutated scientist, this Brute, that Toni had told her about had interrupted the program the sisters were watching.  Toni excused herself once Dragon Lady appeared but Tori had to watch, had to see what was going to happen.  After a discussion between Mayor Jackson, the police and Dragon Lady, the alligator monster was going to get away scot-free.  All of this plus her sister’s story had Tori fuming.  She stabbed the off button on the TV remote and whirled out of the chair heading for the room she was staying in.  An idea was beginning to form but she’d need to take stock of what she had to figure out what else she’d need to make it work.  There was the formula to consider too.  And a proper venue of course.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – mid-afternoon

Placid York felt on the verge of collapse.  She felt the need for a cigarette more than she had earlier during her time with Dakota, though the craving was brought on by stress rather than euphoric pleasure.  After the tense confrontation with the police and nervously explaining, more like lying her ass off, to the police how she could help her cousin to keep him out of jail, the women surrounding him had wanted to follow him wherever he was going.  The mayor had arranged for their transportation but it had been up to Placid to accommodate them once they go to the lab.  

Perhaps most stressful was the tension that remained between Dakota and Dragon Lady.  Placid felt guilty for it despite the pronghorn’s assurances that it had very little to do the young reptile.  They had traded a few terse words, all related to the problem had hand rather than what had happened. It was all very much like waiting for the other shoe to drop.  It also didn’t help that the pronghorn had been rather cool to her since those reassurances.  She was really beginning to regret giving in to her urges to get it on with Dakota.  It was like opening Pandora’s Box and letting all her pent up sexual demons run riot through her.  In fact, it was all she could do right now to keep from dashing to Debauchery Row, buying a couple of hundred dollars of dildoes and other toys and hiring a half dozen hookers just to fuck her silly.  The alligator rubbed her forehead with a couple of fingers.  There were too many very personal shoes waiting for her liking.

A buzz from the alligator’s smartphone derailed her thoughts but it took her a few moments to recall the significance of the noise.  It buzzed a couple more times and she picked up the custom created device.  Tapping the screen, it displayed the public entrance to her lab complex.  Standing at the gate was an unexpected pair – a tall, gorgeous lady snow leopard and not as tall but still tall and equally comely female osprey.  Placid had a feeling she’d regret her next move but that never stopped her from doing such things before.  And that’s exactly what had her cousin in such a mess right now.  

“Yes?”, Placid asked very hesitantly.

“Dr. Placid York?”  The osprey’s voice made Placid’s thighs tingle uncharacteristically for a reptile but she had this feeling of dread like one of those shoes she’d been thinking about earlier was about to drop now.  Damn hormones.  She never could think straight thanks to them.

“Yes?”, Placid replied even more hesitantly.

“I’m Tricia Williams and this-“, the avian indicated the snow leopard, “-is Celine Anson.  We’re image consultants and talent agents-“ Here it comes, thought Placid. “-and we’d like to speak to you and your cousin.  We think there’s a real opportunity here to help you with recent events and how the public views them.”  Placid suppressed a sigh.  She could see so many ways this could go wrong.  Unfortunately, her intuition wasn’t giving her any insight into how to handle this so the alligator gave way to her curiosity about the osprey and whether she looked as hot in person.  

“I’ll be right out to escort you in.”  The osprey flashed a thumbs up to the leopard who serenely grinned.  

The osprey didn’t look as hot in person.  She looked hotter.  And those rectangular wire frame glasses!  If Placid had been male, she’d have been trying to hide a raging boner.  As it was, her panties were getting soaked.  The soaking turned into a trickle when Tricia shook the reptile’s hand energetically and gave Placid a hug.  By contrast, Celine was much more reserved though she did give her associate and the alligator an interesting look.  

Once inside, Placid introduced the pair to Gordon, his “harem”, Dragon Lady and Dakota.  Tricia showed most of the same energy for each as she had outside though clearly her eyes favored Placid.  However, Celine showed more than polite interest only in Dragon Lady.  After the introductions, the consultants switched to business mode producing a laptop with well prepared multi-media presentation.  During the presentation, Placid ran a thorough check on pair using her smartphone, even going through some encrypted databases she’d hacked.  Interesting stuff there, Placid noted mentally tagging some things to check through later, but nothing turned up on the consultants.  They were exactly who they claimed to be.  Satisfied they weren’t plotting against her cousin on behalf of some agency that wanted his research, the alligator turned her attention to the particulars of the deal they were laying out, though Placid found it difficult to follow.  Though she was handy with physics, electronics and several other –ics, economics confounded her.  And Tricia was quite diverting too.  The glances Celine was casting Dragon Lady’s way weren’t going unnoticed either.

As the pair wrapped up their presentation, a couple of Gordon’s ladies asked questions, clearly having followed the economics end of things better than Placid had.  The alligator slid away from her own seat and over to where Dakota and Dragon Lady had stood for the show.  As she approached, she could sense the tension was still there.  Neither woman had so much as looked at each other the entire time though they were standing fairly close to each other.  However, both looked at her and smiled.

“What do you think?”, the reptile asked, leaving the question open for either woman to answer.

“Interesting.”, Dakota answered first.  “Those were some looks you were getting.  I’d say go for it.”  Placid frowned for a second as her mind processed the unexpected response.  Then her eyes widened as blood rushed to her cheeks.  The scientist saw the same look on the superheroine and realized the pronghorn had left the comment open enough for it to apply to both women.  For the first time, Dragon Lady cast a glance at the mayor who winked at her, then at Placid.  

Tricia was still answering a couple of questions as Celine made her way over to the trio of women.  Dakota hip bumped Dragon Lady, catching the younger woman off guard and sending her stumbling toward the snow leopard.  The superheoine couldn’t decide whether to scowl or look hurt at the pronghorn but being close proximity to the feline reminded her that she’d interrupted some rather hot, much needed fucking from Todd and Dakota knew her well enough to tell what she needed right now.  Celine smiled slyly at the mayor as she led the rhoanthekan away under the pretense of discussing some event she and Tricia had in mind to help Gordon’s public image.  

“The deal doesn’t sound bad either but I’d warn your cousin, the public eye can be really dangerous waters.  I’d sooner swim with a school of hungry sharks covered in thousands of paper cuts.”  Before Placid could remark at the odd metaphor, Dakota nodded at someone else.  “Your turn, sweetie scales.”  The doctor turned to see Tricia heading for them.  The pronghorn playfully patted then gently pushed Placid’s ass.  “Go ruffle her feathers.”  The alligator didn’t understand what Dakota was up to but she couldn’t ignore those damn hormones either.  The osprey and the alligator headed away, likely to the reptile’s room.  With the discussion still going with Gordon and his entourage about the deal, Dakota went off to find a quiet place where she could do some super-speed finger fucking.

“I say make them put something in writing before you decide anything, dear.”, Janet Midland spoke up clearly trying to take charge of the discussion.  Having run the Coldwater Biological Research Institute, the duck felt she had the greatest qualifications to speak about the business aspects of the proposal and securing Gordon’s financial future was her priority.

“I say go for it, honey!”, Leonora Stone roared.  The lioness wanted the rest of the world to see her enormous cuddly alligator the way she did and love him for it.  “Get out there.  Let them see the real wonderful you that I, uh, we love!”  Janet frowned.  In just a few short days, Leonora had changed a great deal from the quietly efficient office worker the waterfowl had known for the past few years.  

“And I advise patience!”, Janet would have growled if she could.  “There’s no need to rush into anything and make mistakes.  Your first impression wasn’t exactly the best, sweetie.  Your next step has to be carefully planned and all the ramifications considered.”

“There’s no time like the present!”  Leonora did growl.  “Everything happens faster these days and gets splashed all over the internet in minutes.  The public has a short attention span and you need to jump on this while they’re still thinking about you.”

While the pair bickered, the donkey sisters, Bridget and Michelle, started to get frisky with Gordon’s enlarged penis and with each other while Jodi the sheep hooker lavished attention on the mutated alligator’s snout.  In response to their affections, Gordon laid back as the ladies stripped off their meager clothing.  His shaft sprang to life and the donkeys wrapped their bodies around it, writhing, licking and kissing the enormous throbbing pole.  As they did, the reptilian mutation carefully kissed Jodi, mindful that his explosively enhanced physique could easily harm her if he didn’t maintain a tight control of himself – control he was rapidly beginning to lose as Belinda and Michelle did their full contact dance on his erection.  Gordon wanted Jodi to straddle his snout but needed to deal with the bickering members of his “harem” before the situation got out of hand.  His plan involved getting them in hand though, literally.  

“Ladies!  Get your asses over here and join the party already in progress.”  The duck and lioness broke off their arguing immediately and rushed over to his side, stripping as they did.  Gordon laid out his hands, palms up and wiggled his middle fingers on both hands.  The fighters each took a hand and readily impaled themselves on the waggling digits.  “Ah-ah, facing each other ladies.”  They slid around on his thick fingers to face each other as he had directed.

“C’mere Jodi, put your lovely ass in my face, then show these two how to kiss and make up.  I won’t have anyone hanging around with me fighting like that.”  The sheep straddled Gordon’s chest facing away from him, then turned to the duck and gave Janet a passionate kiss.  The waterfowl passionately returned the kiss as the giant alligator finger thrust and twitched inside of her.  As the kiss broke, Jodi shifted to Leonora, planting her lips on the lioness with equal passion.  The feline whimpered in delight as Jodi’s tongue explored her mouth and Gordon’s finger probed her pussy.  As before, the sheep pulled away then guided the duck’s beak and the lioness’s short muzzle to each other’s.  Janet and Leonora kissed each other as deeply as they had Jodi.  “That’s better.”, Gordon rumbled softly before slithering his tongue up into the sheep’s vagina.  The duck and lioness attacked Jodi’s bouncing breasts as the donkey sisters finally got Gordon worked up to leak all over them.  Between their work and the squirming and moaning of the sheep and the pair leaking all over his fingers, Gordon rumbled and spurted all over himself and his entourage.  

Rather than being sated, the release had the opposite effect.  Gordon extricated his fingers from the duck and lioness then motioned Bridget and Michelle out of his way.  The alligator grabbed the sheep as he raised up.  Carefully he deposited her on her back.  Understanding exactly what he needed, Jodi spread her legs.  The mutated scientist pressed the giant head of his cock against her vulva.  Defying belief, it stretched allowing him entry.  As much as his body screamed for him to just take her, he did it slowly.  Jodi betrayed no sign of discomfort as his shaft stretched her body.  When he went in as much as he dared, he stroked in and out of her.  Though there was plenty of lubrication, the tightness of her body put a delightful pressure on tip of his cock.  It didn’t take long before he groaned and filled Jodi with his spunk.  

Gordon eased out of the euphoric mammal and the donkey sisters descended on her gaping pussy, gobbling up the gator’s semen.  Gordon pondered taking one of the two donkeys next when a whistle attracted his attention.  Leonora was laying on her right side, her left leg lifted into the air and her left hand spreading her pussy open.  It was a clear invitation and Gordon accepted readily.

“No need to play nice with me, baby.  Fuck me!  Fuck me hard!!”, the lioness growled.  Sensing she meant what she said, the mutated alligator mounted her roughly and humped her hard and fast.  The feline was as tight as the sheep and squeezing as much as she could on the enormous pole spreading her open.  Despite the hard pounding, Leo didn’t feel the slightest discomfort or pain.  Just like with Jodi, it didn’t take long for Gordon to peak and fill the lioness up with more cum.

He pulled out of Leonora, leaving her very satisfied but the alligator still wasn’t completely satisfied.  Gordon turned his attention to the donkey sisters again.  Bridgit was still cleaning up Jodi while Michelle was moving to start on Leonora.  Before he could decide which, triangular tail feathers wiggled to get his attention and the mutant reptile’s eyes zeroed right in on Janet’s shapely ass sticking in the air.  Gordon moved up behind her bent over body and gave her exposed slit and anus a lick.  The duck shivered at the touch, especially when his tongue lingered on her ass.  

“Ohhh yesss, fuck me in the ass!”, Janet begged.  Not much for foreplay in his current state, the hulking alligator rose up over the eager waterfowl, pressed the large head of his shaft against her anus and forced his way in.  He went in easily enough but she was much tighter than he expected and it took him several pumps to realize he was taking her backdoor virginity.  Aside from some moaning and squirming, Janet never made a sound of protest as he humped her rectum.  She was so tight that he exploded in her after only a couple dozen thrusts.  Unlike the other girls, he couldn’t help himself and kept fucking and filling her ass with more spunk.  When he finally stopped, Janet’s cum swollen abdomen gave her the appearance of being pregnant.  Gordon grinned sheepishly as he got a look at the well fucked duck.  He eased out of her and her bowels immediately forced a gusher of cum out, splashing it all over the alligator too.  

“Janet?  Are you okay?”  The duck groaned but smiled as broadly as her beak and tired state would allow and flashed a thumbs up.  Gordon raised himself up to his usual hunched standing position where he towered over the women.  

“Leonora?  Janet?  I appreciate your thoughts, comments and concerns.  I think I’ll take the deal but not without looking at everything in writing.  And I’d like both of you to do that with me, please.  I’ve read plenty of grant paperwork but nothing at all like you’ve seen.  Thank you, Bridgit!”  One of the donkeys handed him a towel from a pile she’d found while the other handed some to the other ladies so they could clean up.

A few minutes later, Dragon Lady and the leopard lady came walking back with big smiles on their faces.  Clearly they’d been up to something together and the girls exchanged knowing smiles amongst themselves.  Moments later, the osprey returned with a smile on her beak but Placid, appearing shortly after, looked rather glum.

“Are you okay?”, Gordon asked quietly, shuffling up to his cousin.  

“I’d rather not talk about it.”  Silence hung between then for a moment.

“Um, I think I’m taking the deal they’re offering.”  

“If that’s what you want to do.  They check out as legitimate.”, she said flatly and not at all like herself.  Gordon shuffled closer, putting a massive arm around her.  “I’m fine.”, Placid snapped.

“I know you better than that.”, he rumbled softly.

“You wouldn’t understa-“, she stopped, taking a look up at him and remembering all of the times she looked down instead.  She thought about what drove him to this state and realized he of all people she knew probably would understand.  Not even Aunt Windy would be able to but Gordon would understand perfectly.  “I’ll tell you later.  Let’s get this sorted out first.”  Placid walked beside her hulking cousin to help him answer the ladies’ proposal.  

Undisclosed warehouse, Eastbay district, Gammorah Bay – late afternoon

“What are we doing here again?”  Toni Dharken frowned looking at the dusty, shabby looking warehouse.  “This place has no sense of style to it.  I thought all lairs had at least some style to them.”  

“Everyone has to start with something.  Think of it like the clay you’re always puttering with.  It doesn’t look like anything until you start sculpting it, right?  You’d just have to do a bit more sculpting with this than that place you were eyeing on the internet out towards mom and dad’s.  When you do, it’ll be all your own style.”  Tori hoped she sounded more encouraging than she actually felt.  She had some of her sister’s reservations about the place but could see its potential in the plan.  Plus it was within the budget they’d worked up to get this venture started.  “It’ll be perfect.  No one would think to look here.”

“You’d be right about that.”, Toni muttered under her breath.  “Are you sure about this whole thing?”  

“No!  You have to be the one that’s sure about it.  I’m only helping to get things rolling.  I’ll admit I have mixed feelings about it myself.  When I pick up where dad left off, I might end up having to work with this Dragon Lady sometime.”  Tori snorted, not nearly as impressed at what she’d seen as the rest of the city seemed to have been.  Toni looked around with a more careful eye, her mind already whirling with possibilities.  

“Yes.  This’ll do nicely.”, Toni nodded.  Her sister already had her phone in hand and the number dialing the commercial real estate agent that worked off the normal property registry that Tori’s research had turned up.

Dr. Placid York’s laboratory, New Southbay, Gammorah Bay – two days later

“So you say that your powers faded after helping my cousin but they’ve come back and you feel stronger than ever?  Have you changed anything in your diet?  How you’ve slept?  Who you’ve done it with?”,  Dr. York asked, mostly curious about the last question more than any of them.

“Not really.  I started work but I haven’t exactly maintained a regular schedule of sleep.  I’ve eaten a lot of the same things and some different ones.  I can’t say there’s any real consistency, except maybe getting it from my husband a lot more often.”  Placid frowned a bit but noted that.  She frowned even more when it didn’t reconcile with the other data she’d been mentally compiling.  The reptile made a mental note to check atmospheric and meteorological data and cross reference it with tidal and astronomical information.  

“Will you please strip and step into the biometric scanner again?”  Dragon Lady grinned but took off her cape and handed it to Placid.  She started pulling off her costume top.

“If I didn’t know any better, Doc, I’d say you just like seeing me naked.”  She tugged the top over her face.

Oh shit, she’s on to me!, Placid thought frantically, freezing in place.  Dragon Lady grinned broadly under her costume top, able to see the scientist freeze thanks to a new  vision power she’d discovered earlier in the week.  Handing the top over, the heroine stripped her bottoms off and they joined the top.  She posed rather provocatively and any air of Placid’s scientific objectivity dropped.  The alligator stared in open admiration.  Dragon Lady withheld a chuckle and stepped into the scanner.

The scientist started the scan and as the data started coming in, her attention zeroed in completely on the facts and figures.  Without needing to consult her earlier test results, she could tell that the heroine was indeed stronger than before.  Plotting the graph in her mind, Dragon Lady would be 10 times as powerful as the previously known most powerful individual in a matter of days.  Something about that unsettled the alligator, not because she feared the rhoanthekan but rather she didn’t like not knowing where all of that power was coming from or why.

Debauchery Row, Bridgeport district, Gammorah Bay – two days later

Dr. York’s frown had only deepened in the past couple of days and not just from the mystery of Dragon Lady’s power.  Yesterday’s search had proven fruitless and today’s wasn’t going much better so far.  The young alligator had plenty of entreaties from the high number of prostitutes along the Row but not the ones she was looking for.  She was surprised at how many were into women.  Had she not been so focused on her objective, Placid might have noticed just how many gave her more than the customary customer courtesy glances or quoted very discounted rates.  She was startled by a couple that had offered freebies and almost considered taking them up on the offer but was afraid she’d miss who she was actually looking for.  Rather than decline the offers out of hand, she told them she’d be back if she didn’t find her very specific couple of girls.  Of the hookers she talked to about the pair, all of them smiled, chuckled, and tried to offer helpful hints where that pair might be working.  Even checking in with the punker pegasus clerk Zoe at the Pleasure Dungeon hadn’t turned up much other than a two day old report that the pair had been in restocking on lube, condoms, and a couple of choice toys.  Placid politely turned down an offer of a free backroom demonstration and returned to her search.

The alligator had reached the end of the Row and was considered turning back to try that backroom demonstration to work out her frustrations when her intuition told her to go around the corner.  Getting a bit giddy, she ran right into the very pair she’d been looking for.  After a hasty introduction and arranging a more private “meeting”, the trio headed to a room at the Lush Fantasy hotel.  Several pairs of eyes looked enviously at the gryphon and rattlesnake.

Once in the room, the gryphon grabbed Placid, pushed her face down on the bed, held the reptile down and bound her with her own tie.  With her glasses knocked askew, the scientist twisted her head around and squinted to try to get a view of what was going on.

“Jess?!  What the hell?  She hasn’t even had a chance to tell us what she wants yet.  We don’t even know if she’s into BDSM.”  Something about that statement and her current predicament had the alligator’s thighs tingling.  The rattlesnake’s tongue flicked out a few times.   “OH!  Never mind.  She’s totally into it.”  With a grin, the snake shed her clothing and slithered onto the bed next to the pair.

“Jo, check her pockets!”, the gryphon barked.  The snake frowned but did so, then checked the alligator’s handbag when the contents of her clothing proved to be ordinary.

“Hmm, says she’s a doctor.  Really?  Which field?  Gynecology perhaps?  I’m looking for-“  A glare from the gryphon stopped the slinky reptile in mid-sentence.  

“What she could be is an assassin from Madam Thunder!  She was asking around after us way too much for my liking."  

“Wait!  I’m a scientist!  I have doctorates in a lot of fields, especially genetics.  I’ve been helping Dragon Lady to chart her powers.  I know you two are Bridgeport’s heroes, Harlot and Charmer-OWW!!”  The gryphon wrenched the alligator’s arms up hard cutting off anything else she would say.

“See?!!  She even knows who we are!  I told you we were going to have to do something like this one da-“  The rattlesnake put a calming hand on her lover’s arm.

“Easy honey, she’s telling the truth about helping Dragon Lady.  Give her a chance to explain.”

“Okay.  Start explaining, gator girl.”  Jesse eased up but made no effort to undo the tie around the alligator’s wrists.  The way the gryphon was grinding her hips, Placid didn’t mind being tied at all.  Getting her mind back on the task at hand proved difficult but the scientist explained everything including why she sought the pair out.  

“See?  I told you.”  Jolene flicked her tongue at her partner, a gesture Jess knew was the snake’s way of teasing the avian.  “Now we can let her loose.”

“Oh?  Who says?”  The rattlensnake flicked her tongue in the way that indicated surprise.  The gryphon grinned teasingly.  “People usually pay us for a good time, not an interrogation.”  Jesse leaned over the alligator and winked at the snake.  “This one’s on the house.  Even the room.”  The hybrid avian and serpentine reptile started taking certain liberties with their extremely willing captive much to Placid’s tortured delight.

Temporary lunar observation post, Clavius crater, the moon – three days later

Advance scout observation update report recording.

In the past “week” (reference time measurement index appendix), the self-enhanced creature, now identified as “Brute” by the creatures’ transmissions has become what they call a “celebrity”.  He has been the subject of most of the information transmissions nearly as much as “Dragon Lady”.  There is to be a special information transmission tonight with this Brute and Dragon Lady to assure the population of “Gammorah Bay” that Brute is not danger to them, then Dragon Lady will answer questions about herself.  It is unlikely the population will learn what I’ve discovered but I will view the transmission for any additional information that may possibly be learned.

End update report

The observer sighed, rubbing his eye ridge.  He so hated reports.  He’d be watching the transmission tonight but he had his own reasons for doing so even if he wouldn’t admit them even to himself.  Rather than getting too introspective, he tapped for access to some of his observational recordings saved for his personal perusal, selecting a couple of choice encounters between Dragon Lady and the mayor, then the pronghorn and the alligator scientist to finish with.  After double checking the time and programming his playback to switch to the transmission after playback finished, he was surprised to find his dark shaft already out demanding attention.  It was even dribbling a bit already. It didn’t take long for him to peak but he found the energy to beat his personal best record for number of orgasms over the next few hours.

“Brute Manor”, Headland Heights, Gammorah Bay – mid-day

“NNGGAAHHHHH!!!  Give it to me, YOU BEAST!!!!”, Dragon Lady howled lustfully as she slammed her hips down.  The Brute roared as his cock thrust up to meet her frenzied humping and blasted his semen deep inside of her.  She stopped atop his bulk for a moment to let him catch his breath, her mane falling into place over her blazing eyes.  

“Is that all you’ve got, stud?”, the rhoanthekan purred proactively, her mouthful of sharply pointed teeth showing in her fierce grin.  The Brute shook himself and grinned back just as toothy.  Without pulling out of her, he shifted her body and his bulk around until she was on her hands and knees and he loomed above her.  “Do me.”, she hissed, barely audible but he still managed to hear her.  The mutated alligator pulled back and slammed into her with a loud squelch as he took his own sloppy seconds.  He pounded the dragoness like a heavy surf slamming against a rocky coast.  She snarled and hissed loudly ramming back against him.  The beast arched his back, driving his erupting cock deep into her as more of his spunk splashed about inside of her.

Gordon eased out of the superheroine and collapsed on his back next to her.  Slowly, sense returned to his eyes but hers still flamed brightly.  He grinned broadly at the rhoanthekan as he wriggled his upper body back and forth, which couldn’t have been easy considering his large triangular scutes.

“AHHHH!!!  Thank you, Dragon Lady.  I was getting to be too much for the girls to handle.   I actually wore Leonora out.”  The dragoness chuckled.

“My pleasure, sweetie.  And my responsibility.  I did agree to take care of you to assure the police you wouldn’t rampage again.  I do wonder how we’ll ever explain this to the gathering at the theater tonight.”  

“Delicately, my dear.  Delicately.”  

“There isn’t much that’s delicate about you, you Brute.”  Dragon Lady winked playfully.  “C’mon, love.  Let’s hit the shower and clean up so the ladies and I can get you into that suit Placid put together to cover your rather prodigious condition.”  

“But there’s still a few hours-“

“Not if we’re going to do it again in the shower.  I love getting fucked under running water.”  Gordon rumbled lustfully, starting to feel brutish again as he rose and shuffled behind her headed for the shower then he paused.

“Um, before that shower would you mind helping Michelle, Bridgit, and Jodi with Denny?  He’s gotten a bit out of hand the last couple of days too.  He’s, well, he’s one of my earlier animal experiments with the formula, a quadruped stallion.”  Dragon Lady’s eyes flared brightly at the word stallion.

“Far be it from me to let an animal suffer.  Lead on, big guy!”  The rhoanthekan licked her snout in anticipation of her encounter with Denny.

Stanley Theater, Central City district, Gammorah Bay – early evening

Placid rocked on her feet and heels as she always did when she was extremely nervous.  Getting her contingency plan backstage had been easy enough but she was concerned if Gordon and Dragon Lady would show in time and how well the interview would go.  She kept glancing up into the backstage rafters and was sure she spotted her contingency plan in place.  Sometimes having these intuitions really bothered her.  They weren’t specific enough for her.  For all she knew, the trouble she sensed could be nothing more than the eagle Joshua Deacon Wright’s morality movement protest outside of the theater, though they were trouble enough for any event.  Too many variables, she kept chanting over and over in her mind making her all the more nervous.

“Damn girl!  Take it easy.  Or do I need to drag you off to the bathroom for some ‘stress relief’?”  The alligator jumped a bit though she recognized the voice of the mayor.  Hands gripped Placid’s shoulders and provided a little high-speed massage settling her nerves a bit.  

“Thanks, madam mayor.  I just hate situations with so many unknowns.”

“Honey, it’s just Dakota for you.  You know me too well for that ‘madam mayor’ crap.”  The pronghorn winked walking up next to the jittery reptile.  “And it’ll all go fine.  Your cousin seems to have a good head on his shoulders when he’s not letting the one between his legs control him.  And Dragon Lady needs to learn to deal with pressure situations, even if that pressure is facing the press.”  Before Dakota had a chance to bring up the restroom break, a now familiar pair of faces approached the politician and the scientist.

“Madam mayor.  Hello, Placid.”  Tricia the osprey nodded warmly at each woman.  “Everything is ready for your cousin and Dragon Lady.”

“Tricia.”, the alligator replied, a coolness in her tone, and Dakota noted she wouldn’t make eye contact with the raptor.  The pronghorn regretted her own distance from the young reptile after getting so close.  She rubbed a reassuring hand on the scientist’s shoulder and the corners of Placid’s mouth turned up slightly.  From behind the osprey, Celine greeted everyone with a  grin on her face and her tail swishing about.  

“You don’t suppose Dragon Lady will bring her husband tonight, do you?”, the snow leopard whispered to Dakota when the others weren’t looking.  The question caught the pronghorn completely by surprise.  No thanks to recent tensions, she hadn’t been with Todd or Dani in the past week but the way Celine was acting, the leopard had.  Before Dakota could respond with anything, Todd came walking up to them.  Celine immediately latched on to him.  The pronghorn glared at Todd and he somehow knew he was in for it though not what for.  Somehow sensing trouble, Tricia pried Celine away from Todd with the excuse that they had last minute preparations backstage.  Dakota introduced the rhoanthekan as one of her closest and oldest friends in a way that suggested their relationship was so much more than that but Placid was already putting some pieces together.  She kept her conclusions to herself as the pronghorn introduced her to Todd.

“Doctor York?  So your cousin is this ‘Brute’ that’s just about everywhere now?”  Todd shook the scientist’s hand with a warmth that made her thighs tingle, something no man had been able to do to her before.  

“Yes, I’m afraid so.”, she finally answered, realizing she was daydreaming about those blue eyes and running her fingers through that golden mane or better yet, getting a firm grip on those horns as that snout got busy between her legs.  “I’m sorry.”

“No need to apologize to me, doctor.  I’ve had a lot of extra work this past week thanks to all the new ad campaigns.”  Todd smiled and the alligator grinned toothily for no other reason than he was.  “I’m a graphic artist and my workload has tripled since Mr. Scheuller signed all of those endorsement contracts.”

“Oh, I wasn’t apologizing for him, I mean that I, well, um-“  Placid grinned sheepishly, not sure how to explain what she’d really been apologizing for.  She was saved from further embarrassment by Dakota who had turned up someone else she wanted to introduce, a wolf dressed a bit more smartly than Todd’s ordinary suit and sporting a pair of goggles.  

“You remember the Gungewolf show, don’t you Todd?  I’d like you to meet the Gungewolf himself.”  Todd held out his hand and shook the stylish wolf’s.

“Hey, interesting shows you put on here.  I hope to catch it someday.”  Dakota flashed the expression that usually let Todd know he had done or said something awkward.

“I wish you could but the last one was a couple of nights ago.”, the wolf said plainly.  He didn’t seem overly sad but not happy by any means.  He might have still been in a state of shock.  “The theater decided not to allow me to sign them up again and I can’t find another location.”  Not sure what to say, Todd turned to Dakota instead.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I might have but you were busy.”  The pronghorn’s emphasis on the last word made it clear exactly what the rhoanthekan had been doing.  

“Aw, yeah.  That.  Sorry.  Not quite my idea.”  Placid had the sense that if anything Todd was understating the truth.  “And I’m sorry about the show.  I would like to have been to it at least once.”  The wolf shrugged but grinned doing so.

“It may be gone but now I can pursue some of the bigger projects I’ve had to put on hold.”  There was a particular gleam in the mammal’s eye that captured Placid’s attention.  Before she had a chance to ask what projects he was referring to, Dakota ushered them all into their seats as the theater started filling up.  As guests of the mayor, theirs were all I the front row.

The wolf sat along the center aisle seat with Dakota to his right.  Todd took the seat to the right of her and finally Placid next to him.  The next two seats were reserved for Tricia and Celine and the rest of the row filled with journalists.  The two in the seats to the right of the empty ones intrigued the scientist.  She rubbed her middle finger on the rim of her glasses and her view zoomed in on their name tags.  The honeybee was Denise Wachs and the oriental looking dragon was Andrew Pierson.  The alligator recognized the names from photos and coverage of the attack during the museum opening and Gordon’s surrender to the police.  Another of her intuitions told Placid these two would bear watching in the future and in some way confirmed her fears about the evening.

Someone’s cell phone sounded a text message alert.  It ended up being Todd’s.  He glanced at it then back up into the crowd behind him.  A blue rhoanthekan, a deep red draconid and a gryphon waved down at him.  Todd and Dakota waved back and he replied to the text.

“Who’s that?”, Placid asked hoping she wasn’t nosing her snout in where it didn’t belong.  Something did look a bit familiar about her though.  

“My mother-in-law and her two girlfriends.  She wondered about having dinner after the interview was over.  My wife had to work tonight so I have to message her to find out what time she gets off and we can go from there, that is if you’d like to join us.  You’d better come too Dakota.  Remember your condition and bring Mr. Gungewolf.  I may not get to see the show but at least he could tell me about it.”  Placid grinned.  It seemed the red rhoanthekan had learned how to emphasize certain words to convey a great deal of meaning from the pronghorn.  Still curious about the blue rhoanthekan, the alligator looked back and zoomed in on her.  Turning around, she thumbed through her pictures on her custom phone to one she kept of The Starfighters and withheld a gasp.  She glanced back up at the rhoanthekan then at the draconid.  They had to be none other than Bombshell and Star Power.  More pieces were falling into place.

Placid’s attention was distracted from her analysis by the entry of Gordon’s entourage of ladies.  All of them looked stunning in their dresses, probably having been selected by Tricia and Celine.  The pair had good taste.  The alligator waved at Janet and Leonora and they waved back as they took their seats.  

The whole auditorium went quiet as Dragon Lady stepped onto the stage, followed by the shuffling bulk of the mutated alligator most of them were there to see.  Placid smiled to herself at the suit she’d designed to minimize Gordon’s biggest attribute since his change.  And he looked darn sharp if she did think so herself.  She turned to her other bit of fashion design also up on stage and grinned.  Placid was still damn proud of Dragon Lady’s costume.  A sharp intake of breath drew her attention back to Todd, who was staring at the shield on the lady rhoanthekan’s chest and Placid wondered if she’d taken a real gamble on her inspiration.  

“Wow, that looks so much like something I drew up for my wife”  The alligator gulped and practically winced but Todd grinned.  “Looks much better on her chest than it would have on business cards.  I guess whoever had the idea must have tuned into the same wavelength.”  Placid breathed a mental sigh of relief.  “Are you okay?”  The reptile stiffened.

“Ju-just nervous about the interview!  For my cousin.  I’ve known him all my life but almost everyone here doesn’t know him at all.  All they’ll ever see is a monster if this doesn’t go well.”  Unconsciously, the rhoanthekan put a comforting arm around her.  Placid normally didn’t think much of most guys and even less of being touched by them but she actually welcomed Todd’s strong, warm arm and hand on her shoulder.

“It’ll be fine.  You’ll see.”  Tricia and Celine took their seats as television newscaster Sandy Trott stepped up to emcee and moderate the interview and the following question and answer session.  The equine introduced Gordon first to the hoots, whistles and some shrieks, especially from his ladies.  As soon as Sandy introduced Dragon Lady, the theater erupted into a standing ovation.  Dragon Lady waved and smiled but Placid could see a touch of embarrassment at all of the attention.

After everyone settled down, Ms. Trott started asking Dr. Scheuller about how and why his transformation had taken place.  Gordon related how he was rather physically undeveloped and nowhere near anyone’s choice for romantic interest.  He felt a career in science, especially genetics and chemistry, and research was the best way to overcome his inadequacies.  Placid looked around and saw many people nodding.  She was very surprised to notice that Leonora was one of those nodding most emphatically.  The lioness was gorgeous.  She also noticed that people were actually sympathetic to her cousin’s reasons.  It looked like Todd might be right and the alligator settled against the rhoanthekan relaxing a bit.  The gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Dragon Lady who almost missed a question about her role in taming the “beast”.  The superheroine did her best to phrase her answer delicately but several minds in the audience were already reading between the lines.  Some of Sandy’s seemingly more pointed questions weren’t helping either.

Placid wriggled against the warmth of the rhoanthekan she was leaning on and he held her tighter.  The reptile grinned and nuzzled his chest.  On the other side of Todd, Dakota was stroking the wolf’s thigh and giving him significant glances.  Beside Placid, Tricia was getting powerfully snuggled by her snow leopard business partner and on the other side of them, the honeybee journalist was nudging the slightly more focused or oblivious asian dragon.  If the alligator had been at all interested in looking elsewhere she would have seen all the members of the audience cuddling and snuggly with each other, including Gordon’s “harem”.  Everyone was getting so friendly, it was starting to attract the attention of Dragon Lady, then Gordon.  Sandy Trott drew there attention back with another series of pointed questions that both heroine and scientist were having trouble delicately responding to.

“Whew!  Is it getting warm in here or is it me?”  Placid slid out of her coat and into Todd’s lap.  “How about you really heat me up some more, studly?”  She started fiddling with the buttons on the rhoanthekan’s coat and shirt.  Behind her, Celine worked a hand under Tricia’s skirt, pulled the avian’s panties aside and stroked her slit.  Beside them, the bee was making progress attracting the dragon’ s attention.  On the other side, Dakota wasted little time dipping her hands into the wolf’s pants.

On stage, the equine reporter laid back in her chair crossing her legs provocatively and finally asked the mutated alligator about his size and how had Dragon Lady had handled him.  That put the audience over the edge.  The mayor got on her knees in front of the wolf, eased his penis out of his pants, and wrapped her mouth around it, sucking eagerly.  The wolf immediately gasped and squirmed in his seat.  Emboldened by the pronghorn’s actions, Placid pulled the rhoanthekan out of his seat, shed her pants and panties, sat back in the seat and beckoned Todd between her legs.  The dragon dove in eagerly and the alligator cried out in pleasure as his tongue lashed her pussy and clitoris.  Beside them, Celine bent the osprey over the arm of the seat and slammed her barbed feline shaft inside Tricia.  The raptor squawked, delighted to finally be mounted by her snow leopard partner in so many ventures.  The honeybee and dragon were getting off to a slower start but Denise was bringing him up to speed quickly in getting him undressed.  And they weren’t alone.  The theater exploded in unbridled lust.

Dragon Lady rose to her feet to get to the bottom of things.  Sandy Trott leaped to her feet as well, her body seeming to shimmer and waver.  The wavering finally resolved itself into another rhoanthekan, a rather upset looking orange-ish red female with a long spiky blonde mane decked out in dark purple dominatrix gear that accentuated her curves but still hid everything.  Something about the other dragoness seemed very familiar, alluringly familiar.

“Hold it right there, you slutty charlatan!”  The dominatrix pointed an accusatory finger at Dragon Lady.  “You can’t fool me and when I get through, you won’t be able to fool them either!”  In the audience, Andrew managed to shake whatever was affecting him enough to snap pictures of what was happening on the stage even as Denise was having her way below his belt.  Not only was what the insect doing proving a distraction, everyone else getting it on plus whatever was in the air made it difficult to hold the camera but what was going on with Dragon Lady would be important someday.  He just knew it.

“Who the hell are you?”, Dragon Lady challenged as she gestured to Gordon to stay put.  Whatever was affecting everyone else wasn’t affecting them and the heroine had a feeling that the mutated alligator might be responsible for that.  

“I?  Who am I?!!  I-“, the dominatrix gestured theatrically, “-am Mistress Diabolica!”

“Uh…yeah.  So, um, like what do you want?”

“What do I want?!  WHAT DO I WANT?!!!  Hm, what do I want?  Oh yes!  I am going to expose you for the glory-hogging tart you really are, not this altruistic fraud you’re trying to pull on these poor hapless, er, horny- no, VERY horny people…  Wow, look at them go and those two.  Is that even physically possible?  Whoa, go gator girl, go!!  Ride that dragon!!”  Dragon Lady shifted her eyes in the direction to see Dr. York romping up and down on her husband reverse cowgirl style.  “Hey!  Why aren’t you rutting your brains out right now?  GASP!!!  You’ve figured out my plan!!  How dare you, you- you super strumpet!!!”  The tirade left Dragon Lady dumbstruck for a  couple of minutes.  Mistress Diabolica sidled up close.  “If you want a job done right-“ and she planted a kiss right on Dragon Lady’s lips.  Deranged or not, the other woman knew exactly how to handle the heroine.  She was about to give in until a thought occurred to her.

“Wait, you did this? How-“  Dragon Lady pushed the dominatrix away, albeit reluctantly.

“It’s likely airborne.  Possibly in aerosol form I would say.”  Gordon spoke up.  “You and I are probably unaffected because my own pheromones are acting as a shield.  

“Airborne huh?  You, Mistress Malevolence, stay put until we can get you back on your medication.  Keep an eye on her Gordon.  If she moves, let me know and I’ll handle her.”

“How about some help with crowd control?”, a voice sounded from above.  A gryphon dropped down from above the stage with a rattlesnake hugging her from behind.  Both were dressed in what seemed like costumes.  The hybrid avian was dressed in dark red street clothes and a leather hood while the snake was barely covered in light blue bands.  “Harlot-“ the gryphon nodded then jerked her head in the direction of the snake, “-and Charmer.  Dr. York thought you might need some back up.”  The rattler flicked her tongue at the rhoanthekan, as her golden, slitted eyes focused on the dragoness.  

“Oooh, can I keep her?”  The gryphon rolled her eyes and looked up at the ceiling shaking her head.  

“Don’t mind her.  Her thing is working with emotions of others usually.  Right now, all of them,”  Harlot pointed at the seething sex crazed crowd, “-are overwhelming hers.  She’s normally a sweetheart., just not so forward.”  

“Well then, let’s take care of them and get her back to normal.”  Dragon Lady inhaled then blew out creating a gust inside the theater that blew the air up and out of the vents in the ceiling.  The air may have been cleared but the crowd was still very much under the spell of the Mistress’s creation.  It did give Charmer the break she needed to get herself back under control.  “Now let’s peel them off of each other – gently.”  

It took a while to get everyone untangled.  The real Sandy Trott was located backstage trussed up, all sexually frustrated with a  desperate desire to work it off.  While Gordon sorted his ladies out, Dragon Lady helped up Dakota and her wolf friend.  The pronghorn was already making plans with him to continue their fun elsewhere using words like “messy” so the rhoanthekan turned to her husband and Dr. York to give the mayor some privacy.  The dragoness eased the alligator to her feet where Placid stood knock kneed and unsteadily as Todd’s semen dripped out of her.  Todd could only grin sheepishly and shrug in his defense.  Dragon Lady frowned in mock disapproval.  In truth it had been really hot to watch her husband get it on with the lesbian alligator and the rhoanthekan couldn’t wait to get her turn once this was all sorted out.

Down the row, Denise reluctantly released Andrew but made him promise to finish what they started once they’d filed the story with the newspaper.  In the end only the pair of Celine and Tricia refused to be separated except of their own volition in their own time.  Dragon Lady got them moved to a dressing room in the back where they could finish in private.  The rhoanthekan let Harlot and Charmer help her mother, Althea and Katie out.  The last thing the heroine wanted to do tonight was explain how she could violate the promise she made to Karyn.  In the meantime, Mistress Diabolica had worked the device that allowed her to masquerade as Ms. Trott rendering her invisible and she slipped quietly away.

“She’ll be back again.”, Placid proclaimed confidently.  “Don’t be too surprised if she ends up as your arch enemy.”  Dragon Lady frowned not sure if she was at all comfortable with the idea of having an arch enemy, especially one that seemed so familiar.  

Maya Mountains, Belize, Central America – late evening

“Can you believe they pre-empted my show for this?”, the black rhoanthekan snarled staring at the playback from the Stanley Theater he received via satellite on the laptop screen.  

“Oh no, we can’t.”, the emerald boa replied sarcastically.  “You’ve only been ranting about it all damn night, Obsidian.  Oh and news flash!  These super heroes are news, not like finding some moldy, forgotten tomb in the middle of the jungle, especially when everyone tears off their clothes in a giant orgy like that.”  The snake leered at several of the men in the footage wishing she could have been there in the middle of it all.

“Esmeralda, let Mr. Dharkarius get it out of his system.”  The boa glared for a moment at the senior archeologist for the expedition.  The cobra let the glare slid off like water on her scales.  Evelyn Conners had worked with Esmeralda Montoya long enough not to get too mad at her for these outbursts.  It was just the boa’s way of venting frustration just like Obsidian’s raging at the TV and his producers back home.  “He’s- we’ve all waited a long time to get into this tomb.  It’s not going anywhere, Obsidian.  They promised to reschedule you a couple of days from now and we’ll open it then when our representatives from the Belize government get back.  For now, let’s get some rest like the others.”  The cobra grinned at the pair knowing that’d be the last thing they’d do.  They’d already been ‘exiled’ away from the small camp already for keeping others up at night.  As she slithered away to her tent, Obsidian wrapped a black arm around Esmeralda and led her back to his, now their, tent.

“’Ranting all damn night?’  We’re starting to bicker like an old married couple.”

“Then let’s make up like an old married couple.”  The boa slid out of her clothes as easier than she shed her skin.  Liking to take better care of his designer clothes, Obsidan took a bit longer but soon he was naked and pressed up against her verdant scales.  Already his thick erection was pressing against her slit for access.  Esmeralda shifted a bit and impaled herself on his long shaft.  They kissed and wriggled together before he lay her out on the cot for the good, hard rutting she’d waited all day for but she had one last thought.  “Hey, honey, why don’t we get into that tomb ourselves?  Just you and me and a little hand held camera.  It won’t be live but the discovery will be all ours and maybe you and I can nab a little something off camera just for us.”  

“Oh you sneaky snake.  Must be why I love you so damn much.  Fine, I’m with you.  Now can we get back to some hard, passionate sex?”  Esmeralda kissed him deeply as the tall ebony dragon humped her eagerly.

Undisclosed warehouse, Eastbay district, Gammorah Bay –  late night

Toni Dharken sat fingering the mask and holding a small note bearing the words, It’s all up to you.  She frowned watching the recording made from the Stanley Theater the previous evening, replaying the part where The Brute explained about his pheromones again and again.  Tori was already in the air, having booked a flight that left a couple of hours ago.  It really would be all up to her until her sister returned but do it she would.  She traced a finger along the plans they’d drafted together and grinned as she looked up at the dark shape in the shadows outside the single light over the table she was at.  Soon, very soon she thought to herself.

Grant residence, Beachport housing development, Gammorah Bay – late night

A pair of black eyes eagerly watched the interview and subsequent sexual display on the headline news channel over and over again.  The female shark shifted in her chair but didn’t move from it.  By now Carrie’s attention had focused on the phony Ms. Trott but not on the fact she was a fraud.  The equine looked so poised and confident posing questions to The Brute and Dragon Lady.  The young fish’s therapist had suggested Carrie try to get out more among people and challenged her to find something that would really get her out of the house.  The shark couldn’t think of anything more challenging and out among the people than being a newscaster.  It would fit well with the correspondence degree she got in journalism and possibly make use of a couple of the others.  She resolved to call her dad tomorrow to see what favors he might call in to get her on the air.

Temporary lunar observation post, Clavius crater – half lunar night

The observer was also running the recording from the Stanley Theater.  The spectacle had been so grand but eventually he focused in on the one identifying herself as Mistress Diabolica.  An idea was beginning to form, something so perfect he’d totally forgotten his usual update report just to focus on it.  He ran the footage over and over again.  His idea was audacious, outlandish, and reckless but it felt so fitting given what he had observed with these heroes and villains so far.  And fun, he thought as the concept took full shape in his mind.  Oh so much fun.  More than all of his other assignments pooled together.  Some of the details were still unclear but there was enough in place that he could relax and mull the finer points over.

He was just about to shut off the recording when his attention went to the scarcely clad rattlesnake.  When she turned in the direction of the recorder, he paused and enhanced the image focusing on her face.  Those eyes, he thought, there was something in those eyes.  Something very, very familiar.  And very, very lost to him or so he had believed.  He had to be sure.  His idea would not fulfill another goal now, a far more personal one.
