Brianna Cobb stood in the training room with Jesseca French smiling widely at her.

“What?” Arson asked.

Diapered Dandy shook her head. “Nothing, I’m just glad to have you back.” she said.

Arson smiled. “We’ll see how happy you are when you’re rolling on the ground trying to put the fire out.” she said.

As the two friends began to battle Arson began to think back on her time with the Freedom Phalanx Reserve. She thought about how far she’d come from being an orphaned street urchin with a sordid past to being a protector of the city.

Brianna used to have a mother and father, a sister and a happy home. All of that changed when her sister was killed by a stray bullet from a drive by shooting. Her parents were so distraught by the loss of their beloved Lindsey that they sought revenge against the gang responsible for taking their daughter. One night Brianna’s father went to the hideout of the gang and killed two of their members before he was gunned down himself.

After the loss of her husband and daughter, Brianna’s mother went insane and was deemed unfit to care for her remaining daughter. Brianna was put into Foster care and was bounced from home to home because of her tendency to act up. By the time she was fifteen she was running with a gang of anarchists bent on bringing down big corporations and law enforcement in Paragon City.

When she was eighteen she was knocked into a vat of chemicals by a police officer during a bombing attempt she was trying to carry out at a Crey Pharmaceuticals facility. The chemicals altered her DNA and gave her the ability to control fire. Looking back on it now, it was probably what saved her life as she escaped the burning building and collapsed in a nearby alley. She crossed paths with Dementia’s Knight one night and was recruited by him into the team she now knew as her family.

As the two heroes continued to spar Jesseca French was also thinking about how far she’d come in her own life, and how grateful she was to be a part of the team and to have friends like Arson and the rest of her teammates.

Diapered Dandy seemed to be doomed to wear diapers for her entire life. As an incontinent woman she was forced to wear the absorbent garments to keep herself safe from an even greater embarrassment. Being an extremely smart young woman, the twenty four year old was on the fast track at her University and earned a grant for her research in the field of curing incontinence.

During the demonstration of her invention Jesseca was bombarded by an altered energy blast caused by the interference of Clockwork minions that caused her machine to malfunction. When she finally woke up in the hospital she found that she could charge her fists with energy and encase her feet in stone.

After that she’d run into Half-Life Hannah and was recruited in The Freedom Phalanx Reserve she found her true calling as a super hero. She’d met new friends and overcome great obstacles in the name of justice and virtue and was stronger than ever because of it.

Jesseca helped Brianna up from the floor of the training room as the young hero massaged her sore ribs courtesy of a stone footed kick to the torso care of Diapered Dandy. “Don’t worry, you’ll beat me some day.” Jesseca said as she put her arm around her friend.

Arson put her arm around Jesseca and walked with her to the door of the training room. “I’m not worried, as long as I can use the toilet I’ll always beat you.” she joked.

The two friends laughed together as the door to the training room opened and they went back to their rooms.

Carl and Sarah Madison were in their room playing a video game together when Sarah paused the game and sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Carl asked his twin sister.

“This isn’t what I thought being a hero was going to be like.” she said as she got up from the floor and sat down on her bed.

Carl got up and took a seat on his own bed across from his sister. “You mean being grounded?” he asked.

Sarah nodded. “This is almost as bad as the circus.” she said.

The Madison twins had been born with heightened agility and regenerative abilities. When they were ten their mother died and they were put into the custody of their uncle. Barlow Madison ran a circus in Paragon City and used his niece and nephew as sideshow attractions. Outfitted with swords for Carl and metallic claws for Sarah, the two were forced to fight eachother for the entertainment of the nightly crowd.

A year before they turned fifteen they escaped from the circus and registered as heroes of the city. They were recruited by Electro-Cute and Fantasy into The Freedom Phalanx Reserve and were overjoyed at the chance to turn their lives around.

“This isn’t anywhere near as bad as the circus.” Carl said. “At least here people seem to really care about our well being.” he added.

Sarah nodded. “I guess you’re right, except for Miranda, she’s just a bitch.” she said.

“Yeah, she’s not very nice, but everyone else seems cool.” Carl said.

“I just wish we could train more and get better and stronger.” Sarah said.

Carl got up and went to his sister and hugged her. “We will, just not today.” he said.

Sarah hugged her brother back. “You’re probably right, I’m just tired or something. I’m gonna take a nap.” she said.

Carl smiled as his sister lay down and closed her eyes and he went to his own bed and did the same, confident that things would get better for him and his sister.

Miranda Adams stood at the foot of the bed, wearing a tight leather outfit that complimented her gorgeous body nicely. She smiled at her dominated lover as she lay on the bed completely at the mercy of her Mistress.

Samantha Davis bit her lip in anticipation as she drank in the sight of her Mistress standing before her, ready to completely dominate her body and mind.

“Are you ready?” Fantasy asked her submissive partner.

Electro-Cute nodded vigorously. “Yes Mistress.” she cried out eagerly.

In Electro-Cute’s mind, Fantasy was now tormenting her nipples with quick darts of her tongue and gentle but firm nibbles. In actuality, Fantasy was seated across the room watching her teammate writhing in ecstacy on the bed as her fantasy played out in her mind.

Miranda had just recently joined the team, but she’d quickly found her niche in it. She’d made friends with Samantha, and kept her on a tight leash by making her believe the fantasy she was currently enjoying was the real deal. In truth, Miranda probably would participate in the real thing with Samantha but she was more interested in plotting against Elysa and Hannah at the moment.

At twenty six Miranda had been using her powers of mental manipulation to get what she wanted from a very young age, coupled with her insatiable sexual appetite, Miranda was destined to open her own brothel. Using her powers to create perfect sexual fantasies for her clients she became very rich very fast in the seedy underbelly of Paragon City. When she was approached by her friend and sometimes client Arson to join The Freedom Phalanx Reserve she jumped at the chance to take her act on the road and try out some new material.

Since then she’d studied her teammates and marveled at how easy it would be to overtake them and become the leader of the team. She planned to start with Elysa and Hannah who seemed to be the two greatest hurdles in her path.

Electro-Cute exploded in orgasm and blew the lights out in her room as her fantasy came to a euphoric end. The twenty four year old hero smiled and let the waves of pleasure wash over her for a moment before curling up in her bed and drifting off to sleep.

Born with the power to control electricity, Samantha Davis was destined to be a hero almost from the time she could walk. She’d been fighting crime since she was thirteen and had seen and done things that people twice her age had only read about.

She’d met Arson while she was battling a mob of Clockwork one night and joined the team when Arson had invited her to. Samantha had found friendship in the team and also potential lovers in her female teammates. In addition to being a mutant, Samantha was also a lesbian, which were synonymous in some circles. Now, in Fantasy she’d found everything she was looking for and couldn’t be happier.

Fantasy got up from her seat and went over to Samantha’s bed. Pulling the covers up over her friend she leaned down and whispered softly into her ear. “Same time tomorrow honey.” she said and made her way to her own room to continue formulating her plans against Elysa and Hannah.

Elizabeth Fierro sighed as she let her bathrobe fall from her shoulders and onto the tile of the bathroom floor as she stepped into the large bathtub and let the hot water envelope her body as she sat down in the tub.

Once a prominent Marine Biology student, Elizabeth had been working on a way to heal wounds through the combination of water immersion and radiation. The experiment that turned her into Tidal Wave was actually a success aside from the side effect of being able to turn into water and control the substance in all of it’s forms.

Now she was a superhero, and despite the annoying behavior of one of her teammates, she couldn’t be happier with the way things had turned out. She felt sorry for Elysa, and wished she could help her out, and she wondered about Diapered Dandy too, it was very odd for a diaper wearer to display her diapers so prominently. As she let the bubble bath filled water wash her body clean she smiled, “This might be the perfect team for us Harold.” she told the yellow rubber duck that floated in the tub with her.

Some time later the water began to drain from the tub as the plug was pulled out. Elizabeth turned herself to water and shot out of the tub and onto the bathroom floor where she turned to her physical form, now completely dry. She walked to her bed and picked up the colorful and childish looking panties that lay on it. Laying down on the bed clad only in her childish panties Elizabeth sighed and curled up with her stuffed bunny and put her thumb into her mouth as she tried to get a nap in before lunch.
