251 L’amour En Abondance Part Four

After another evening with Lisa, that she kept trying to claim wasn't the best sex she ever had, I ensured she was asleep and would stay that way until morning, then I was off again and finishing off the slave traders. There was a surprisingly high number of normal and average people that owned slaves. It was both shocking and saddening, and I should probably start a graveyard with all the bodies piling up.

Henchmen, guards, friends, sometimes family members, and one I caught with a father and son sharing a young woman with short black hair by spit-roasting her. My heat vision melted their heads and I caught the abused and naked woman before she could be pulled down onto the floor as the two bodies fell.

She gave me wide eyes and I couldn't help checking her mind to see how she was doing. I was shocked to find out she was fully cognizant and was planning to steal the son's handgun the next time he took her to his room and she was going to deal with the both of them on behalf of her friend, whom was already broken and had given up. They had been kidnapped during a trip to the Caribbean.

“Who are you?” She asked, defensively.

“My name is Atlas. What's yours?” I asked.

“It's Sue. Sue Dearbon.” Sue answered.

I barely stopped myself from gasping after I learned her identity. She was supposed to become Elongated Man's wife in the future, Sue Dibny. Her friend's identity on the other hand, was a shock to learn. She was the wife of Victor Zsasz, the wealthy business tycoon and possible future serial killer.

I was pretty sure this might be the thing that sets the man off on his spiral of depression, too. He eventually gambles away his fortune and ends up with nothing left to live for, except killing those he believes are also a waste of space in order to make the world better.

“Where are they keeping your friend?” I asked before I distracted myself with finding the man. I healed her up as I silently tossed both the father and the son into a portal to the moon behind her back.

“In the locked bedroom at the end of the hallway.” Sue said and caught her breath when she was covered in a stylish dress that covered her completely and the magic spells I used to clean her had made her skin tingle.

I also fixed all of her issues by using Panacea's power on her as I scooped her up into my arms and she looked surprised. “I'm a hero. I'm supposed to carry you like this when I rescue you. It's in the rules.”

Sue gave me a deadpan look and didn't comment, so I took that as acceptance and carried her across the room to the door. When I paused briefly, she spoke. “It's locked and barred. One of them should have the key.”

“Key? Where we're going, we don't need keys.” I said and kicked the door into splinters.

“Where were you when I was kidnapped?” Sue asked.

“How long ago was that?” I asked.

“A couple of weeks.” Sue said.

“Ah, I was in a pocket dimension applying to a magic university, only to find out the headmaster was an amoral bitch that enabled both heroes and villains. I had some clean-up to do after I left.”

Sue's deadpan expression came right back and there was a bit of a glare to her eyes, too.

“I'm being honest, Sue. Where did you think your clothes came from?” I asked.

Sue opened her mouth, closed it, and looked thoughtful.

We reached the room at the end of the hall and it was locked and barred as well. I didn't want to scare anyone that was trapped inside, or possibly hit them with debris or splinters, so I used my heat vision to cut off the hinges, the locks, the bar, and the handles. A quick silence spell on it and a very small tap with the toe of my boot, let the thing fall into the room without a sound.

“No!” Sue gasped and leapt out of my arms and rushed over to her friend that had just sliced her wrists. “I told you we were escaping soon!”

“Too late. Too late.” Renee whispered and closed her eyes.

Sue wasn't going to let her friend go like that and shouted at me. “Do something!”

I knelt beside her and touched Renee, used Panacea's power to heal her, then checked her mentally. Thankfully, she wasn't as far gone as some of the maids and nowhere near losing her self-identity completely like the broken sex slaves. I shored her up as best as I could and tried a mind cheering charm on her.

Surprisingly, it worked in combination with Sue's constant words of encouragement to bring Renee out of her depression temporarily. Constant cheering charms would actually harm her, so I couldn't do more than bolster her slightly.

Sue looked relieved as Renee opened her eyes and smiled at her. When her eyes went to me, Renee noticed me as well.

“Dammit, I'm married.” Renee said, surprising us both.

Sue softly laughed and hugged her. “Yes, yes you are. I'm not, though.”

“You're too young for him.” Renee huffed.

I opened my mouth to tell them I was only 15, then realized no one would figure that out if I didn't tell them. It would also keep my civilian and hero identities separate. “I think you both need to be taken care of for a while.”

Sue and Renee gave me squinted looks.

“No, no. I'm not offering. I just had an idea of a place that you could go to recover.” I said and gave them a smile. “For now, I have a recently purchased mansion in Russia that you can stay at as I try to make arrangements for your recovery with the other women that have been captured.”

Atlas shook her hand and let it go before he sat in the chair in front of her desk.

Diana tried to not feel neglected when he hadn't bent over hand to kiss it and she noticed a twitch of his lips as if he fought to not smile. That let her know she hadn't stopped her own face from showing her disappointment and she softly laughed.

“You didn't do it on purpose to avert my expectations.” Diana said and walked around her desk to sit behind it.

“No comment.” Atlas said with a smile.

Diana lost the amusement and gave him a pointed look. “Tell me what happened and what you think you can expect from me.”

Atlas gave her a single raised eyebrow.

“What you think I can do and what I can actually do, may be two different things.” Diana said.

“If you were any other person, I might believe that.” Atlas said. “However, you are Wonder Woman and your people have been doing what I need them to for decades.”

“And what is that?” Diana asked.

“I need you to take the victims I've rescued and let them recover from being raped multiple times by scum that I've already dealt with, so there will be no courts or chance of them getting away on a technicality or because they hired the best lawyer and gamed the legal system to only get probation or found not guilty.”

Diana was silent for a few moments as she processed that statement. “So, you acted as judge, jury, and executioner, without due process or giving them a chance to prove they were innocent?”

“It shouldn't take tens of thousands of dollars in court costs to find a criminal guilty when he was caught balls-deep inside the crime at the time he was found.” Atlas said and she caught her breath. “However, not all of them are rape victims. Some are being brainwashed to worship criminal organizations and then they'll be raped multiple times to train them to get used to it, making the act become so casual to become meaningless, which makes it much easier for them to seduce their targets for assassination.” Atlas told her and she gasped.

“When can you bring them here?” Diana asked. “No, forget that. Where do we pick them up? We need to get them into treatment as soon as possible and Alana is arranging for a large boat...”

“There's no need. I can make a portal.” Atlas said and waved a hand at the wall and a white door opened to show a fancy lobby.

“Is she another friend?” The maid there asked.

“Not like that. She's going to help you all, just like I promised.” Atlas said.

The main smiled a huge smile. “Thank you, new master.” She said and pulled her uniform off of her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. “Will you bend me in half and pound my slutty pussy? I haven't has sex in two days and I need it, master.”

Diana saw Atlas blush slightly.

“I can't do that, Kay. You know Alice won't like that you're trying to get ahead of her.” Atlas said.

“Fuck that cute bitch.” Kay said.

“That's what I said she wants.” Atlas said and Kay sighed. “Once Princess Diana contacts her people, I'll open the way to get there, okay?”

“I'll tell Bizzie.” Kay said. “She's going to be disappointed she can't sneak in and join us.”

Atlas chuckled. “Tell her she might have more than she can handle soon.”

Kay smiled and the white door closed and disappeared.

Diana gave him two raised eyebrows.

“It's not what you think. Kay Challis has multiple personality disassociative disorder. Alice and Billie are only two of her 84 personalities.” Atlas said and Diana sucked in a sharp breath. “Yes, she's been that traumatized by her father and his friends since she was a child and I'm hoping her main personality, Jane Morris, comes to the forefront to handle the rest of them better.”

Diana wasn't sure what to say to that, so she just nodded. “Can you make a portal to Themyscria?”

Atlas closed his eyes for a moment and then waved his hand at the wall again. The scene through the door was the throne room of her mother castle.

“Daughter?” Queen Hippolyta asked. Surprisingly, it was not the comic version that looked like an older version of Diana. She was the one that appeared in the movies with long blonde hair and a much older face than she should have as a practically immortal woman.

“Hello, mother.” Diana said and stood. “We have much to discuss.”

Queen Hippolyta looked at Atlas and gave him a once-over, smiled, and looked back at her daughter. “When should I expect a grandchild?”

“MOTHER!” Diana gasped and blushed.

Atlas chuckled and nodded to her, acknowledging her right to take the opportunity to tease her daughter over something she should have had decades ago.
