John set the girder down and reverted to his flesh and bone form revealing a large and very handsome African American gentleman. “Well, if y’all want me, I can’t say no to a pretty lady.” he said. “Hey Tito, I’m off to be a super hero!” John shouted to his boss and walked out of the warehouse with Hanako and Jesseca.

“I’m glad that you all decided to join the team.” Hannah said to all of the new heroes that had gathered in the meeting room along with the rest of the team.
Slice and Dice, Tidal Wave and Metalicious sat next to eachother at the large round table smiling at the fact that they were now a part of something greater in the grand scheme of life.
“I’m glad that the rest of you could be here as well because I have an announcement, I’m splitting up the team.” Hannah said.
The assembled members of the team looked from Hannah to one another in surprise at the announcement.
“Elysa will take the younger members of the team and form a faction of her own here in the base. My hope is that this will teach her a lesson in responsibility and teamwork that she has displayed a lapse in recently.” Hannah said.
“So you reward her being a brat by making her a team leader?” Fantasy asked.
“No, I’m giving her this task as a learning experience not as a reward. I prefer to think of it more like a punishment than anything else.” Hannah said.
“And what if she fails to learn anything and gets her team hurt or worse?” Flower Child asked.
“I believe that she will rise to the challenge and I would hope that the rest of you would support my choice and help her to succeed.” Hannah answered.
“So who’s on her team?” Jesseca asked.
Hannah picked up a list with the team divisions on it and read off the names. “Elysa’s team will be comprised of Flower Child, Slice and Dice, Tidal Wave, Electro-Cute, Fantasy, and Arson if and when she recovers.” Hannah said. “My team will be Ataris, Drool, Keyword, Diapered Dandy, and Metalicious.” she said.
“What about Sue and Premiere and Knight and Severe?” Jesseca asked.
“If and when they return the teams will be adjusted accordingly.” Hannah said.
The tone of the room was one of doubt and uncertainty as the realization of what was happening to the team became painfully clear to everyone.
To Be Continued…
<center>Part III: Broken Home
Chapter III: Over Before The Beginning</center>
Elysa stood in front of her mirror and splashed some more water on her face. The young hero was nervous about her first day of captaining a team. She’d requested that her team meet her in the training room for a few practice sessions before heading out into the city for a hands on exercise. Taking a deep breath she headed out of her room and to the training room, her diaper crinkling softly and bulging only slightly beneath her uniform.
“You do realize that it’s only five in the morning, right?” Fantasy asked Elysa as she approached the door to the training room where her team was drowsily gathered.
“I wouldn’t worry about that, no amount of beauty rest can help you Miranda.” Electro-Cute said with a wink toward the young telepath.
“Funny Sammy, keep it up and I’ll have you believing you’re a monkey before lunch.” Miranda shot back with a smile.
Elysa opened the door to the training room and beckoned her team inside before following them in and closing the door. “Ok, I think our first lesson should be teamwork.” she said as the lights came on in the vast room.
Tidal Wave and Slice and Dice marveled at the giant room and wondered what kind of training they’d be receiving within it’s walls.
“From what I understand, Carl and Sarah have a very strict training regimen already. They know eachother’s moves and style so well that they can anticipate the other’s moves without much thought. The goal is to have you all in tune with eachother in that same way.” Elysa said.
“It’s pretty easy for us, we have some kind of twin psychic bond.” Sarah said with a smile.
Elysa moved off to one side of the training room and motioned for the team to follow her. “Miranda and Samantha, I think I’d like to see the two of you go first.” she said.
Fantasy and Electro-Cute moved to the center of the training room and waited for their exercise to begin.
“Computer, downtown King’s Row.” Elysa commanded.
The room changed instantly from an empty space to a downtown city scene, startling the new members of the team.
“Give me ten Outcast gang members all level twenty.” Elysa told the computer system.
“Looks like we might have some fun after all.” Miranda said.
Miranda and Samantha took to the air and began searching for their targets. They found three of them standing near a burning barrel chatting.
“I’ll soften them up for you sparky.” Fantasy said with a giggle as she set to subduing the enemies ahead of them. Using her powers she forced the three gang members to believe that they were covered with venomous spiders. As the enemies began slapping at themselves to remove the imaginary arachnids Samantha hit them with bolts of electricity and sent them flying backwards and writhing on the ground.
Moments later the three gang members were back up again. The orange skinned Scorcher hurled several fireballs at the two heroes, they evaded them and Samantha fired another bolt of electricity at him and put him down for good. As Samantha was downing the fire controller, Miranda had her hands full with the blue skinned Freezer.
Fantasy was finding it hard to concentrate on forcing a fantasy on her foe as she was dodging his multiple volleys of icicles. “Boy do I wish Arson was here.” she thought as she flew above a tight grouping of projectiles. “Any chance I could get you to help me out with this guy?” she shouted to Samantha.
Samantha had her own troubles in a stone covered gang member. Every bolt of electricity she hurled at him was completely ineffective because of his stone armor. “Be right there.” she shouted back.
As the two heroes fought against their own opponent they failed to notice a mob of five more Outcasts coming up behind them. Electro-Cute was hit in the back by a fireball and fell hard to the ground below. Fantasy turned to check on her teammate and got a volley of icicles in her back, bringing her to the ground as well.
“Computer, end simulation.” Elysa commanded. “Congratulations, you’re both dead.” she said to the two heroes with a mock applause as they got up from the ground.
“We’d have been fine if you had helped me with Frosty.” Miranda spat angrily at Samantha.
Samantha scoffed. “Yeah, and as I was saving your butt I would have gotten flattened by the stone guy there.” she argued.
“Enough!” Elysa shouted. “You guys are on the same team, that’s the point of the exercise, work as a team! Maybe if you two stopped arguing so much you’d be able to get along long enough to stay alive.” she scolded.
“Well, if you’re such a great team player why does Arson have a bruise on her head?” Miranda asked.
Elysa fumed. “That was different.” she said as calmly as possible.
Miranda nodded. “Yeah, we were arguing like adults and you were throwing a little temper tantrum.” she said.
“I am your team leader and you will show me some respect now!” Elysa yelled.
Miranda only smiled at her team leader. “And if I don’t, are you gonna attack me too? Or maybe you’ll cry and run to big sis.” she said with a small mental suggestion to Elysa to make her believe that she was an upset toddler.
Elysa began to cry out of frustration. “You’re just a big mean poop head!” she screamed at Miranda and ran out of the training room crying as her attacker laughed uproariously at her victim.
“Why are you being so mean to her? She’s trying her best to be a good leader.” Tidal Wave said to Miranda.
“I’ll be damned if I’m gonna take orders from some overgrown baby.” she said.
“If you ask me you’re the one that’s acting like a child here.” Tidal Wave said with a scoff.
Miranda glared at the young scientist. “Good thing nobody asked you then.” she said.
Tidal Wave felt a tickle in her brain and suddenly felt compelled to put her thumb in her mouth.
“There, I like you much better like that.” Miranda said with a satisfied smirk at her mental handy work.
Tidal Wave glared at her and suddenly turned to a human shaped mass of water freeing her from Fantasy’s mental attack and shot a torrent at Miranda, sending the woman sprawling backward and skidding across the floor.
“Well that wasn’t very nice.” Electro-Cute said and blasted at Tidal Wave with a bolt of electricity.
Tidal Wave altered her form again and became mist allowing the attack from Samantha to pass through her harmlessly and collide with Carl sending him flying backward.
“Hey!” Dice yelled as she ran at Samantha and leapt at her with her claws bared.
Samantha took flight and dodged Dice’s attack only to be knocked out of the air by a blast of water from Tidal Wave.
“Enough!” Hannah shouted from the entrance to the training room.
The quarreling young heroes stopped what they were doing and looked to Hannah and Elysa as they walked into the training room.
“Do any of you understand the concept of teamwork?” Hannah asked with a look that was mixed with anger and disappointment.
Each of the heroes averted their gaze from Hannah and opted not to answer her.
“Fantasy! You will not use your powers on your teammates if you want to remain a part of this team. Am I understood?” Hannah asked the dripping wet young hero.
Fantasy looked at Elysa and then back at Hannah. “Yes ma’am.” she answered quietly through gritted teeth.
“Good. As for the rest of you, I’m very disappointed in you and never want to see you carry on like this again.” Hannah said. “Training is done for today, you are all to stay in your rooms except for meals and missions for the rest of the week.” she added.
The scolded heroes gasped and mumbled complaints as Hannah and Elysa left the room.
<center>****************</center>
“Morning honey.” Jesseca said to Brianna with a smile as she entered the room and saw the young fire controller sitting up in her bed.
“Morning Jesseca.” Arson said with a smile.
“You got your memory back?!” Jesseca asked with a smile at being called by her name and not by the name of Brianna’s sister.
Arson nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I woke up a little bit ago and the fog just started clearing.” she said.
Jesseca leapt onto the bed and hugged Arson tightly. “I’m so glad you’re ok.” she said.
“Me too.” Arson said in agreement. “Thanks for taking care of me.” she said.
“You remember all of what happened?” Jesseca asked.
Arson nodded. “It seems like a dream, but I remember everything.” she said with tears forming in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Jesseca asked her.
“My sister Lindsey died when I was little. There was a drive by shooting near the park where we used to play and a stray bullet hit her in the head and killed her.” Arson explained with a wavering voice filled with sorrow.
Jesseca began to shed tears of her own as she listened to her friend. “I’m so sorry.” she said.
“It’s ok, because you made me feel like I never lost my sister.” Arson said as she hugged Jesseca even tighter.
The two heroes were now blubbering messes as they hugged eachother on the bed. “I’ll be your sister anytime you need me to.” Jesseca told her.
“You’ll always be like a sister to me Jess.” Arson said with a smile.
Jesseca nodded. “I feel the same way about you.” she said returning Arson’s smile.
As the sun rose outside a new relationship thrived and blossomed within the walls of the Freedom Phalanx Reserve.
<center>****************</center>
“I’m gonna get that little bitch Elysa and her sister too.” Fantasy said to Electro-Cute as they sat in Miranda’s room.
Samantha sighed. “Maybe you should just let it go.” she said in an attempt to save her friend from more trouble.
“No way, she can’t ground us like we’re her damn kids.” Miranda said.
Samantha shrugged. “It’s her team, she can command it any way she wants.” she said.
“Who’s side are you on anyway?” Miranda asked.
Samantha sighed again. “Yours I guess.” she said.
Miranda smiled. “And why is that?” she asked coyly.
Samantha smiled and blushed. “Because you’re my mistress.” she said quietly.
Miranda stood from her seat and went over to the bed where Samantha was laying and straddled her midsection and gently pinned her arms to the bed and started kissing her on the neck and nibbling her earlobe. “That’s right, and you wouldn’t want Mistress to be cross with you, right?” she asked her submissive lover.
“No Mistress, I only want to please you.” Samantha said with a quivering voice from the love and attention she was receiving.
“Good.” Miranda said with a smile as she proceeded to tie Samantha’s wrists to the bedposts and undress her.
<center>****************</center>
“I changed my mind, I don’t want the team leader job.” Elysa said to her sister with puffy eyes still red from crying.
Hannah put her arm around her sister and pulled her close to her. “Don’t quit just because of one bad day.” she said.
Elysa shook her head. “It’s not just them, it’s me. I can’t keep fighting what I am anymore.” she said with fresh tears brewing in her eyes.
“What are you?” Hannah asked.
Elysa stood up and dropped her pants revealing the yellowed diaper sagging heavily between her legs and put her thumb in her mouth. “I’m a hewpwess wittle baby.” she said.
Hannah smiled at her sister and took her by the hand and led her to the nursery to take care of her diaper.
Chapter IV: Behind Closed Doors: Elysa’s Team</center>
Hanako Masamura sat in her room in the middle of the floor with her legs crossed in a meditative position. The young hero had her eyes closed and was focusing on the plants sitting on her window sill. The various flowers blossomed and wilted with the help of her powers, several of them re-seeded the small garden and sprouted new flowers with her help.
“So very bored.” she thought to herself as she opened her eyes and stood up.
The seventeen year old hero known as Flower Child looked around her room for some form of entertainment, she picked up a magazine and flipped through it briefly before flopping down on her bed with a heavy sigh.
As her mind began to wander she thought about how she’d come to be involved with the Freedom Phalanx Reserve a little over a year ago. She remembered coming to America with her parents, she remembered the feelings of happiness that they all had for what they thought was a new lease on life. The journey to America turned out to be a disaster as they became slaves to the Tsoo, an American cell of the Yakuza.
Hanako remembered the months that her and her family toiled in a camp working for the Tsoo until her father attempted to free himself and his family from the camp. She remembered watching her parents die at the hands of the Tsoo guards, she remembered running and getting cornered by her attackers. After that, she only remembered waking up in the base she now called home with Ataris standing over her assuring her that everything would be ok.
According to Ataris she’d killed the Tsoo that were attacking her and had escaped the camp. Hanako was confused at first at how a normal teenaged girl could kill half a dozen trained killers and escape a slavery camp. After many tests Hanako learned that she was a mutant, her powers had decided to appear in her moment of need and saved her life.
Ataris took Hanako under his wing and helped her hone her powers. Though she was still a young woman she was still a pinnacle member of the Freedom Phalanx Reserve, through the many missions she’d been a part of she’d proved her mettle as a hero to her leaders.
Now that she was relegated to her room through no fault of her own she was starting to wonder why her teammates couldn’t be as dedicated to the team as she was.
“So very bored.”she thought to herself again and closed her eyes to take a nap to pass the time.
<center>****************</center>
Elysa Knowles sucked on her thumb as her sister Hannah wiped her diaper area clean and sprinkled some powder on her and rubbed it in gently before pulling the new diaper up into place and taping it up snugly.
As far as sisterly relationships went, Elysa and Hannah’s had become quite an unconventional one indeed. At seventeen and twenty nine the two sisters were too far apart in age to take part in normal sister activities like playing together and double dating. Hannah had taken to looking after her sister when she was little and had never really stopped. Now she was more like a mother to her than anything else.
Elysa had begged her parents to allow her to go with her sister to the big city when Hannah had gotten her powers of radiation control from a few years work in the core of the Terra Volta reactor. Though they didn’t want their young daughter to leave home and possibly put herself in danger by following her sister to the city they allowed her to and told Hannah to protect her from harm no matter what they did.
After a few months of living in the city Elysa began to crave attention and approval from her sister and took to wetting the bed. Hannah had held her crying sister many mornings as she shivered in her soaked pajamas. After that got her some attention she moved on to having daytime accidents, Hannah became worried about her sister and had taken her to the doctor to try and find the problem. When the doctors found no cause for the accidents Elysa broke down and confessed everything to her sister.
At first Hannah was unsure about how to deal with the problem and pondered sending Elysa back to their parents, but then she saw her sister sucking her thumb one night while she slept and decided to give her sister what she desired most, love and attention unconditional.
The first time Hannah had diapered her sister they were both extremely nervous and nearly stopped before they had started, but they had pressed on and had reached a new level of bonding by doing so. Elysa’s own powers of ice control emerged several months later, and she started joining her sister on her patrols and then coming home for a bottle of warm milk and a story before bed.
Now, thanks to Malta, Elysa was completely incontinent. She had tried to push past her desires to be a baby and grow up, but now she had given into it completely and dropped her role as team leader for the younger and inexperienced heroes of the team and become the big baby that she knew she was.
Hannah helped her sister off of the changing table and led her by the hand to the rocking chair in the middle of the large nursery that was Elysa’s room. Hannah grabbed a bottle of milk from the fridge on the way and used her powers to heat it up and pulled her sister into her lap and pressed the bottle to her lips and rubbed her stomach gently and rocked the chair while she nursed the bottle.
“Whatever you want to be, I’ll support it.” Hannah whispered to her sister as the young blue haired heroes eyes began to droop as she drifted off to sleep.
“Fank oo.” Elysa mumbled from behind the nipple of the bottle.
Hannah kissed her sister on the forehead. “Anytime baby.” she whispered as she continued rocking her sister to sleep.
