Wonder Woman: Closing In
Version 2
By Night Creeper
A man wearing a black ski mask trudged through the knee-high sludge as he approached a dimly lit cabin. He heard a growl in the distance and the sound of something crashing against the water. The man hurried his movements, hoping that he could reach the cabin in one piece. He knew that his journey would not be easy, but he kept on reminding himself of the rewards if he made it. The reward was enough to give him the extra boost of energy as he quickened his pace. The cabin got closer and closer, which was a good thing, because the sound of splashing water was getting louder, and it wasn't coming from him. "Made it!" the man finally huffed in triumph as he pulled himself onto the front porch of the cabin. He picked himself up and was about to knock on the door when it swung open.
"Come in," a female voice ordered. The man quickly entered the small cabin and approached the woman who was seated at a circular table with a crystal ball in the middle. There was smoke inside the cabin and it was hard to focus as if the walls were moving. The man could not see any other furniture and almost backed out of the cabin when a loud growl was heard coming from the porch. Luckily the door slammed shut. "You can either approach or leave. If you decide to leave, I cannot guarantee your safety. If you stay, I cannot guarantee your safety either, but I promise you that it is safer in here," the woman spoke softly, keeping her head down.
"I've come . . ." the man spoke as he approached the table.
"I know why you're here. I heard the engine of your jeep an hour ago. I heard the beating of your heart long before you entered my home and I read your thoughts even before that."
"If you know so much about me then you must know why I am here."
"I said I knew your thoughts. So that means I already know," the woman spoke as she raised her head.
The man was shocked to see that she had no face. However, he remembered the stories about the woman. She was human, but in her cabin, nothing was what it appeared to be. So summoning all his courage, the man spoke. "Can you help me?"
"I can."
"How much?" the man finally asked after a long minute of silence.
"The amount inside your vest will do," the woman replied.
The man quickly took out a hefty envelop from his vest and placed it on the table next to the crystal ball. He then took out another envelop and plopped it down on the table as well. "The items that you need are in the second envelop," the man spoke.
Suddenly, both envelopes disappeared. A few seconds passed before black metal box, no larger than a shoe box, appeared on the table. "Take it. It is what you need. I have left instructions for you inside the box as well. Follow them to the letter and your plan will succeed. Miss a step and it will fail," the woman replied lowering her head.
"Thank you," the man spoke as he headed toward the door even though it remained close. As he tried to open the door, the growling from the porch grew louder. "How am I . . ."
"Leave," the woman spoke as the man found himself pulling on the handle of his jeep, miles away from the cabin.
Three Weeks Later
Police Commissioner Michael Thompson sat behind his desk and watched the news report with some of his senior staff. They were delighted to hear that several drugs deals, bank robberies, carjackings, and murders were all thwarted by Wonder Woman. "It's amazing what that woman has done for this city. We need to help her out more. This isn't her city and she's just helping us out. We need to find as much information as possible during her stay, so that we can quash the crime families that have used our fine city as a breeding ground," the man spoke.
"Sir, with all due respect, I don't know if we can collect any more information," Lieutenant Thomas Manly, a well built man with brown hair and brown eyes, spoke as others nodded. "We use to have one major crime family in this town, but the families have increased to ten. If we allow things to continue, I have a hunch that the families will just wipe themselves away. We don't need to risk the lives of our officers."
"I don't want to risk lives either, but we have to stop crime. Crime has increased every year for the last five years. It has only decreased in the last two months because Wonder Woman is here. Now, informants have already reported that the various mob families have teamed up to get rid of Wonder Woman. She's risking her life, I see no problem in risking ours. We can't wait for her to leave only to find that the mobs were slowing down operations in hopes that she would leave," Michael Thompson replied.
"Yes sir. If it helps, the Bartoni family, our original mob family is losing its control," Thomas spoke.
"Let's make sure that all the families lose control."
"Yes sir!" the officers agreed.
"Gentlemen, we need to destroy Wonder Woman," an old balding man spoke as he sat in the darkness.
"Mr. Bartoni, we have already come up with a plan to get rid of her," a man wearing a ski mask spoke.
"I've heard of this plan, but I haven't seen it. For weeks, our plans have gone up in smoke. We use to control this town, but we're losing control now. Our rivals are gaining on us and the police are shutting us down. Wonder Woman needs to be stopped," the old man coughed as he eyed the four men wearing ski masks in front of him. Mr. Bartoni had a loyal following, but he preferred that they all wear ski masks. The reason behind it was to keep their faces hidden from the public so that eyewitnesses couldn't identify his men other than the ski mask.
"Trust me, sir. During the failed bank heist, we obtained a souvenir from the encounter with Wonder Woman. That souvenir will turn the tide. Take a look," the man spoke as he pointed to the TV on wall.
"Big deal. I see Wonder Woman chasing our boys through the sewers. She's catching up on them too. And she looks very confident!"
"That was three weeks ago. Here's two weeks ago."
"So she caught two less men this time. What's the point?"
"Wait. This was last week."
"She still caught two less men. In all, she has captured over twenty of our family members. With each week, she captures two less. That's a good thing because we don't have that many people! Worse yet, she's probably only slowing down because she knows that the jails are full!"
"But sir . . . as the weeks passed, she has slowed down and she seems less confident. That was the point of our plan."
"I don't care for a progress report. I want the plan to work. I want her to stop capturing our men before we run out of men. I can't afford to have the other families gain anymore ground."
"Don't worry, Mr. Bartoni, we'll get them. We've already split hairs with Wonder Woman," the man with the ski mask laughed.
A Week Later
"Officer, are you okay?" Wonder Woman asked the man, who was busy rubbing the top of his head while holding a towel against the side of his head, trying to keep the blood from dripping down his face.
"I'll live. They just hit me with the butt of the gun before running. CRAP! The bank robbers got away . . ." he spat.
"Which way?"
"Down there," the officer pointed at the open manhole. "I radioed for backup and I had them scope out some of the covers. If those guys decide to come back up, we'll grab them."
"How many are there?"
"Manholes?"
"Bank robbers."
"Five."
"If they don't come up then you won't be able to catch them. I'm going down there," Wonder Woman spoke as she made her way to the manhole and descended the steel ladder that was connected to the sewer pipe. Something in the back of the heroine's mind told her to go back up the steps, but she knew that she had to track down the criminals. She could hear the splashing of water up ahead. It was faint, but she knew it belonged to the criminals. However, she couldn't get her legs to move.
"Are you okay down there?" the bleeding officer asked as he peered down the manhole.
"Yes. Just trying to figure out which way they went," Wonder Woman lied. She had already figured out which direction the men went. However, ever since a couple of weeks ago, she hated cramped quarters since it was hard to breath. At first she thought it had something to do with the stench, but it really didn't bug her much especially since most the pipes and ducts were quite clean. It was like the criminals wanted a getaway without trudging through crap. And even though the size of the pipes were exactly the same, Wonder Woman's breathing problems persisted. In fact, at times she felt that the walls were closing in, which was ridiculous since the walls never moved.
"Do you need a flashlight?" the officer asked.
"No. I'm fine," Wonder Woman spoke as she began to walk. Once the officer couldn't see her, her stride became shorter and her breathing increased as her chest rose up and down as if she had just ran several miles. For almost a three weeks, the criminals had made a concentrated effort to use the sewer and Wonder Woman was getting damn sick of it. Part of her wanted to climb out of the sewer, but another part urged her to continue and not to give up. Eventually that part won as it always did and Wonder Woman continued to make her way through the pipe.
After several long minutes, Wonder Woman emerged from the pipe and stood in a familiar room, roughly the size of a gymnasium. "This place again," Wonder Woman muttered to herself as she saw a huge pool of water in the center of the room with various tunnels entering the room. "They could have gone anywhere."
"Wonder Woman!" a male voice called out from the top of the room. "Have you spotted the criminals?"
Wonder Woman looked up and saw Lieutenant Thomas Manly, the man who was in charge of the task force to apprehend the bank robbers. "I haven't seen them, but I believe they came here," she replied as she waited for the man to descend the steel ladder with a horde of officers behind him.
"They never came back up. This is the eighth time that they came to this room. We placed some surveillance cameras here, but they've all been disabled just hours before the robbery," the officer spoke as he stepped into the center of the room and looked at the pool of water.
"Did you catch a glimpse of the people cutting the wires?" Wonder Woman asked as she leapt from her position and landed gracefully next to the man.
"None. I think it's an inside job."
"Sir, permission to search the tunnels," an officer spoke as he approached the two.
"Denied. According to the technicians, they're going to flood this room in a few minutes. I'm not about to read an article of officers being swept away from sewage water," Thomas replied.
"Technically, it's not just sewage water. That tunnel over there leads to the water filtration plant. Some of this is water from the reservoir as well as some underground waterbeds," another officer replied.
"Regardless, we have to get back up soon. Reinstall the cameras and add a few more. If they come back here. We'll spot them," Manly spoke as he made some of the other officers climb back to the surface.
Wonder Woman glanced at the various officers installing and replacing the cameras. She kept an eye on them to make sure that they weren't sabotaging them, but she noticed that the officers didn't even care what the other ones were doing, decreasing her suspicions. She had seen this scene quite a few times since she had been in the room several times in the last three weeks. Much like her previous trips the robbers always seemed to manage to find the room when it got close to pump water to the plant. As Wonder Woman stood and pondered on which tunnel that the robbers used, she realized that she never had problems breathing or moving when she reached this room. "What is going on?" she thought to herself.
One Week Later
Michael Thompson watched from the command post with several aides by his side. He could see Thomas Manly and his unit moving through the sewer. The chief could see the tunnels and hear the splashing of water, but he could not see the criminals. About an two hours ago, another bank was robbed and the crooks fled into the sewer. He watched intently as all the men entered a tube where several small explosions were heard as an orange gas filled the screen. "What was that?" he asked his aides.
"The gas is some just gas, sir. It was suppose to stop the officers from searching that tunnel. Our men started coughing, but that was the only effect of the gas," an aide replied.
"I can't take that risk. We either petition the other departments for gas masks for my regular officers or we only send the SWAT guys," Michael Thompson spoke.
"That might not be necessary, sir," Thomas Manly spoke as he entered the office.
"Of course it's necessary. I just saw what happened three days ago. If these crooks are putting traps inside the tunnels and they are able to cut off the cameras before anyone can see them, they are a dangerous bunch and I will not risk the lives of my officers!"
"But sir . . ."
"What if that gas was poisonous?"
"It wasn't sir.
"But it could be. From this moment on, we are not pursuing them down into the sewers! If I find any officer that goes into the sewer, I will have their badge! Now get out of here and rest up!"
"What happened?" Wonder Woman asked Thomas Manly as he stepped back into the hallway.
"The chief has just banned all officers from chasing the crooks into the sewers. He thinks it's too dangerous. He's even going to take the badge away if an officer disobeys orders and goes down into the sewer," the man spoke, shaking his head.
"Will he change his mind?" Wonder Woman asked.
"I doubt it."
"Maybe we're going about this all wrong. I think I'll search the tunnels before they strike. Perhaps, I will bump into them when they try to flee."
"Are you suggesting living down there?"
Wonder Woman thought about for a quick second and remembered how she couldn't move or breath when she was in the tunnels. She hated that feeling, but she didn't want to share it. Instead, she blocked the memories and stared at the man. "No. I'm just going to check out the tunnels and maybe if I get lucky, I can bump into them when they flee."
"Sounds dangerous, but I'll see what I can do to assist you."
"How about supplying me with the water treatment plant's schedule?"
"They don't give out that information."
"I know. That's why I haven't searched that room."
"Tell you what. Let me try some of my connections and see what I can dig up."
"Thanks, Thomas."
"No. Thank you, Wonder Woman. If it was up to the chief, we would be letting these crooks make fools off of us all and getting rich in the process," Thomas groaned as he walked down the hall leaving Wonder Woman to her thoughts.
Hundreds of Miles Away
"I can't believe I am doing this," a man wearing a ski mask repeated over and over again as he trudged up to the opened door of the old cabin.
"What do you want?" the all too familiar female voice replied.
The man poked his head through the doorway and still saw no one inside, just like last time. Except this time, he was sure nothing was chasing him. "Where . . . where are you?" he spoke as his teeth chattered.
"Don't waste my time!" the voice snapped, which sounded more like an ominious warning.
"My employer wanted to make sure that the plan was succeeding. So far, everything seems great, just as you said. But we never thought that . . ." the man paused.
"SPEAK UP AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT!" the voice boomed as the room was engulfed by a fiery red light.
The man fell on his ass and began to push his feet away from the doorway. That's when he heard the growl behind him. Without even looking back, he leapt to his feet and dove head first through the open door, which slammed shut behind him. "Tha . . . tahn . . . thank you," he finally panted even though he wasn't quite sure if was safer inside the cabin or to be stuck outside.
"See how easy that was? With the right motivation, someone will crash through a door without even thinking. You just darted inside my home without even thinking about the consequence. You simply did it out of instinct. I cannot change instinct, but I can change the situation. Remember that!"
"But . . . but I need to . . ."
"You need to know if your boss is getting his money's worth. Rest assured that is the case. If I wasn't delivering results, you and your boss would be out of business by now. There is already a great deal of doubt that has infested the target's heart. Soon, it will need to cling to something, something close, something that the heart trusts. The items that you gave me on your first visit were of great value, but they are no longer here. When the time comes, they will presented to your employer. What your employer decides to do with them will affect the outcome. Your employer can be ruthless and destroy everything or follow the opposite path. The walls are closing in."
"But that's why we hired you! We wanted to make the walls stop! We must be able to operate!"
"You hired me? How dare you?"
"My apologies!" the man shouted as he dropped to his knees.
"I am not an evil person. I am not doing this for profit. I am not doing this to be malicious. I am simply doing this. If you or your employer question my motives again, our deal is off, and it will be your heads that has to pay."
"But . . ."
"But nothing. Be gone!" the female voice snarled as the man was teleported inside his car this time. The befuddled man could still hear the woman's voice inside his head. It caused his skin to crawl as he shook and whimpered.
"This is silly," Wonder Woman chastised herself as she slowly made her way through the sewers. The heroine didn't know what was going on, but the longer she walked in the sewers, the more she felt like she was suffocating. She thought the walls were closing in on her, which made it hard to breath as she forced herself her advancement. Yet, she was superheroine with duty and commitment, and she wasn't about to let some tunnels get the best of her.
Eventually Wonder Woman arrived at the now familiar room that the crooks often used before disappearing. As she reached the end of the tunnel, she could see a small man dressed in black leaping about like an acrobat, pulling the wires out of the cameras, killing them. "That's how they're doing it," Wonder Woman snarled to herself as she balled her fists before she quickly opened them and gripped her lasso. But before she could use her lasso, the small figure in black landed on the far side of the room and disappeared down a tunnel that was big enough for a standing man to walk through without any problems.
Giving chase, Wonder Woman tried to maneuver as stealthily as possible through the running water. When she reached the tunnel that the man disappeared into, she noticed that it looked very new. Then it dawned on her that the tunnel was never present when the police searched the room and it was not in the viewing area of any of the cameras. "This is how they get in and out of here unseen," she thought as she heard water splashing behind her. Without any hesitation, Wonder Woman leapt up into the air, and landed on a small platform, barely able to fit the heels of her boots. However, she was able to flatten her back against the wall and keep her balance.
"Man! We did it again!" a man dressed in black with a ski mask spoke happily as he entered the room, flanked by three accomplices in the same attire.
"This is getting so easy!" another laughed as he holstered his automatic pistol.
"The cops will never catch us at this rate," another laughed as he pointed at the tunnel.
"Good point, man. We need to get out of here before the cops come and before the tunnel closes. Everybody in!" the third man yelled as the crooks quickly disappeared into the tunnel.
Wonder Woman waited for several seconds as she heard the water stop splashing. Then she saw the tunnel closing, so she quickly leapt from her place, and dove into the tunnel. The amazon made quite a splash. However, she wasn't quite able to stop the noise since her momentum from her dive, was causing to basically hydroplane the entire length of the tube.
"What the fuck is that noise?" one of the crooks inquired as he heard a loud rumbling behind them.
"Well you shut the fuck up! We're a few feet away from the secret hideout. There's a manhole cover a few feet above our heads right now. People can hear!" another one admonished the crook.
"Shouldn't you be keeping your voice down?" another man laughed as he pointed his shotgun up at the top of the tunnel. The man was not prepared for Wonder Woman, who basically plowed into all four men. The shotgun went off and shot up into the air. Unfortunately for the crooks, the bullets went up an escape tunnel and basically blew the manhole cover off. This caused quite a commotion on the street above.
"You're not getting away this time," Wonder Woman snarled as the crooks dropped their loot and ran.
"Let's get out of here!" a man shouted as everyone quickly entered another large room with chairs and tables. The men tipped over several chairs and tables as one reached a steel door at the corner of the room and tried to open it.
"You're not going anywhere," Wonder Woman spoke as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Fry her!" one of the crooks shouted as they opened fire. The amazon used her bracelets to deflect the bullets while the man was struggling with the combination lock on the steel door.
"We're out!" one of the crooks yelled hysterically as all of them ran out of bullets.
"You're out of luck," Wonder Woman replied as she approached the men.
"She's only one dame! We can handle her!" one of the men yelled as he charged at Wonder Woman. Within seconds, all three men barreled down on Wonder Woman, who nonchalantly blocked their punches and pushed them back.
"Got it!" the crook at the door yelled triumphantly as the steel door opened. At the same time, the doorway that lead into the room slammed shut as the walls began to close in.
Luckily for the three crooks, who were fighting Wonder Woman, they were pushed back and landed close to the door. Within seconds, they scrambled past the steel door and tried to slam it shut. Wonder Woman was prepared to give chase, but stopped when she saw the walls begin to close in. Instead of chasing the men, she froze in place as she watched in horror as the steel door closed. There were several things that she could have done. She could have spread her arms out to stop the walls if they got any closer or she could have tackled either door and tried to bash them open. Instead, she stood perfectly still. The amazon started hyperventilating as she struggled to breath. The closing of the walls was just too much for her.
Suddenly the door leading into the door blew open as Thomas Manley and some SWAT officers entered the room. The lead detective threw his gun to the floor, ran to Wonder Woman, and quickly pulled her out of the room with seconds to spare.
"I need backup. I repeat, I need backup. We are at the docks in Warehouse 4," Thomas Manly spoke into his radio as he and the SWAT members advanced. The police officers waited several minutes after the walls slammed together. Within seconds, the walls retracted. That's when Wonder Woman and the officers advanced on the steel door. The police were going to blow the door open, but Wonder Woman simply ripped the door from the hinges. The officers then quickly advanced through the large tunnel that eventually led to an office. Wonder Woman saw some papers and the officers glanced through them as Thomas Manley radioed for backup.
"You sure we're in Warehouse 4?" another officer asked.
"These order papers all say Warehouse 4. Besides, our next step is to search this entire place. I want people . . ."
"Footsteps below," another officer spoke as he glanced down at the darkness that engulfed the warehouse.
"I knew I should have requested night goggles," Thomas snarled as pounded his fists.
"What now, sir?"
"We're going down there. Since there's nine officers, I think groups of three will suffice. Wonder Woman, feel free to tag along with any group. Here's a radio. Please check out some of the documents and radio backup if I gave them the wrong warehouse number. Now, let's go," Thomas spoke as he opened the door leading out of the office and slowly descended the steps, leaving Wonder Woman with the radio.
"Boss, we've got problems," a highly agitated man panted as he ran toward a limousine while carrying a black cell phone.
"What kind of problems?" Mr. Bartoni inquired as he slowly got into his limousine.
"The broad, Wonder Woman, has led an army of cops to our warehouse."
"Those idiots! What about the office? Did they get all the documents?"
"Did you get all the documents?" the man inquired. "SHIT!"
"WHAT?"
"They forgot them all in the office!"
"Tell them to get those documents!"
"They left the warehouse already."
"Tell them to go back!"
"Yes sir," the man replied as he began to bark orders into the cell phone.
Mr. Bartoni watched with a sour look on his face. Suddenly inspiration hit him as he picked the phone inside the limousine. He quickly dialed and had a huge smile on his face when his call was answered.
Wonder Woman peered down at the documents. She could see the order forms and shipping manifests for several ships. The amazon even saw the signatures that authorized them. So far, they were all signatures belonging to mob bosses. She quickly collected them and placed them inside a large brown bag that she had found inside the office. Wonder Woman was ready to carry the bag out of the office when the door to the warehouse came tumbling down as four cars crashed into the warehouse with machine gun fire flying all over the place. The amazon could see the guns of the officers' as they returned fire. Without any hesitation, Wonder Woman dropped the bag and leapt out of the office.
Once she landed, she saw some of the officers scrambling for position. Their job was a little easier as the cars all had their headlights on, which made it easier to get a lock on the assailants. However, the warehouse began to fill up with gas. The officers coughed as they scrambled to get their gas masks on. Without the constant barrage of gun fire, several crooks slipped into the warehouse and began to make their way to the office. Wonder Woman saw this and quickly radioed the officers. "More of them have entered the warehouse. Be on your guard," the woman spoke as she darted toward her right and tackled two crooks, knocking them unconscious.
"I read you, Wonder Woman. Thanks for the heads up," one of the officers replied as he started shooting at the cars again. One by one, the officers thanked the amazon and tried to advance, all except Thomas Manly.
Wonder Woman thought it was odd that the man never replied. As she made her way through the warehouse back toward the office, she found out why; Thomas Manly was unconscious as he laid face first on the hard warehouse floor. Almost immediately, Wonder Woman dashed toward him only to fall into a trapdoor. "Great Hera!" the woman shouted as she found herself inside a hole that was no wider than a tube at a water park. Wonder Woman knew she could easily jump out of the hole, but when the door closed, she found that she couldn't move again. Once again, fear gripped her as her hands pawed at the sides. Although the walls weren't moving, the woman felt they were and because of this, her breathing increased as sweat poured down her face. Then without warning, the woman screamed and cried like a lost child.
A few minutes later, the door opened. Although Wonder Woman had only been in the hole for a few minutes, it seemed like an eternity to her. "Jump up, Wonder Woman!" Thomas Manly spoke as he used his machine gun to keep the door from closing.
"There's not enough room for me to jump," Wonder Woman lied. "Please get me out!"
"The lasso! Toss me the lasso!" the officer shouted.
Slowly Wonder Woman forced her hand to her side where she gripped the lasso. Then with a mighty throw, she tossed the lasso up. The officer caught it and quickly wrapped it around his wrists and began to pull. Within seconds, Wonder Woman was out of the hole. "Thank you," the amazon spoke as she took her lasso from him.
"We have to go up!" Thomas spoke as he ran up the steps to the office. Wonder Woman was right behind him as they entered the office and surprised the four crooks inside.
"Blas . . ." one of them tried to shout as Thomas tackled the lead man and knocked two others to the ground. A third grabbed a green duffel bag and ran down the tunnel to the room with all the crushed chairs and tables.
"Wonder Woman! Stop him!" Thomas yelled as he delivered a mighty uppercut to one of the crooks, knocking him silly.
Without reply, Wonder Woman dashed after the man. The man had a pretty decent lead as she ran through the various corridors underneath the city. Although she was familiar with the corridors, part of her told her to stop since the walls were getting closer. However, due to the chase, the woman was able to block them out, a bit unaware that the walls were shrinking.
Eventually, she catches up to the point where she can see him slamming a wooden door shut. Without any hesitation, Wonder Woman locked on the door, and crashed through it. As she landed, a metal doors slammed shut behind as gas began to fill the room. The amazon coughed as she covered her mouth. Then her worst fears came true as the walls moved in on all. Except this time, the roof was also coming moving. Wonder Woman was gripped by fear as quickly tossed her head from side to side, watching the walls close in on her. Then, she spotted another wooden door at the far end of the room.
Without thinking things through, the woman quickly smashed through it. Instead of landing on the floor, Wonder Woman fell down a long slanted chute. Wonder Woman slid for a few seconds as she saw a wall fast approaching. She stuck out her hands and braced herself for impact. Her hands slammed into the wall and prevented her from headbutting the wall. However, once she hit, the floor began to shift. Wonder Woman discovered that the floor beneath her had opened up and swallowed her, trapping inside a metal drum. Trapped in the dark, Wonder Woman screamed and pounded on the walls, but her fists didn't have any power behind them as she desperately gasped for air. Wonder Woman was unsure how it happened, but she realized that she was claustrophobic now. That was little comfort as the woman began to bawl like crazy as she begged for rescue, totally forgetting that her super powers should be enough to escape.
As time passed, Wonder Woman's condition grew worse. The confidence had disappeared as she cried like a little kid. She even curled up into a little ball. "Wonder Woman?" Thomas Manly spoke in shock as he opened the metal drum. The amazon didn't reply. The officer saw that the woman was almost catatonic and he sprang into action. Quickly, he pulled the woman out of the drum and placed her against the wall for support. "Wake up! Wake up!" the man screamed hysterically as he shook her.
"Th . . . Thomas!" Wonder Woman yelled gleefully as she opened her eyes. The cop almost drowned in her beautiful blue eyes. Of course, his almost popped out of his head when Wonder Woman hugged him. His heart almost burst when the woman kissed him hard on the lips. The officer almost turned to jell-o in the amazon's arms.
Two Weeks Later
"Now don't run," Wonder Woman spoke softly as she gripped her lasso tightly as it ensnared crook, who had just robbed the bank.
"Good work, Wonder Woman," Thomas Manly panted as he finally caught up to the pair. "Any idea of where his friends went?"
"Where are you partners?"
"Down there," the crook replied as he pointed down at the exposed manhole.
"I'll get them," Thomas spoke as he stepped forward.
"I'll get them," Wonder Woman spoke as she handed him the lasso and stared at the darkness beneath her feet. The woman then took a deep breath before leaping down into the sewer. The woman landed with a splash as her boots kicked up water. The sudden rise of water set off an alarm and a trapdoor opened up beneath Wonder Woman. The woman fell in as water poured all over her face. The amazon panicked as she splashed the water about and vainly tried to pull herself out of the trap.
"Grab on!" Thomas Manly shouted as he used the amazon's own lasso to rescue the woman. Wonder Woman opened her eyes, spat out some water, and gripped the lasso for dear life as the cop pulled her out of the trap.
"Thank you," Wonder Woman smiled as she hugged him.
"We got to stop doing this," the man panted.
"Where's the crook?" the woman asked as she pulled away.
"He got away. I had to remove the lasso from him when saw you fall into that trap. I didn't have a chance to cuff him."
"I'm sorry. First the documents disappear and now this. I'm really sorry."
"No problem, Wonder Woman. Rescuing you is enough to make my day."
"But it's because of me falling into these traps that have cost you your case."
"It's not mine anymore. The top brass even think it's best that I take an early retirement. All those officers risked their lives to stop those crooks and I let them down."
"You let them escape that warehouse in order to rescue me."
"And I would do it again," the man spoke, forcing a smile, knowing full well that his career was over.
"Let me make it up to you," Wonder Woman spoke.
"It's okay."
"No it's not. Let's go to your place," the woman spoke softly as she took his hand.
"I should've done this earlier," Wonder Woman spoke softly as both her hands caressed the cop's face as she maneuvered onto his lap, her legs straddling his as he sat on his couch. Without warning the woman kissed the cop, who eagerly returned it. The kiss was extremely slow like the ones that are pictured in movies. Small nips were mixed with slow wet smacks, followed by the caress of tongues. Wonder Woman's hands gently stroked the man's face as his hands slid down her sides to her hips. A soft muffled moan escaped Wonder Woman's lips as she accepted the cop's tongue in her mouth. The woman had never kissed a man before, but the mere fact that Thomas Manly had sacrificed the career that he spent his entire life to build, just to save her, was enough to convince Wonder Woman that this was the right course of action.
Thomas couldn't believe it when the amazon accepted his tongue. Nor could he believe the fact that she actually sucked it into her mouth while her arms slipped around his neck. Saving people, fighting crime, and making the streets safe just weren't a priority now. The man couldn't believe his fortune especially when Wonder Woman began to grind her hips, making herself more comfortable on his lap. Thomas decided that Wonder Woman shouldn't have all the fun. Thus, he grabbed and groped her hips through the thin material, hoping that he would have the honor of seeing what was under those stars and stripes. Once again, the woman moaned, which only made Thomas slide his hands down to her firm ass. He then placed his palms on her posterior and lifted her up. This caused the amazon to pull her head slightly away, allowing the man's tongue to escape her mouth. That's when she circled her tongue around the head of his, before swallowing it, allowing it to slide past her sensuous lips, and eventually filling her mouth as both parties sealed their lips. The woman's action made Thomas bolder as he grabbed her hips briefs and began to pull them down.
Wonder Woman sensed the cool air caressing her sex as the man tug on her briefs. Fueled by lust, the woman slowly tilted her and pulled her arms away from the man's neck. Her hands then reached behind her and unzipped her bustier as she reluctantly pulled her face from his, freeing his lips. Wonder Woman then stood up before Thomas, who quickly yanked her briefs down to her knees. The amazon shook her legs as Thomas watched them drop to the floor, where she quickly stepped out of them. Then she removed her bustier and revealed her flawless breasts to Thomas, who began to drool. This only made the amazon happier as she straddled his lap again and kissed him deeply while her arms wrapped his neck.
Thomas was in heaven. He could feel the woman's magnificent breasts pressed against his chest. His hands gripped her hips and pulled her roughly down against him. The cop's manhood strained against his pants as the soft cloth rubbed against Wonder Woman's crotch.
The response was immediate from Wonder Woman, who moaned loudly. Her hands clutched his shoulders, where she lifted herself up. This allowed her to rub her breasts all over the man's face. Thomas moved his hands to her ass where he massaged her soft skin as he rocked the woman back and forth, fucking her exposed sex against his covered tool. All the while, the cop slurped noisily at her breasts as Wonder Woman placed affectionate kisses all over the top of his head.
Eventually, the amazon was pushed to the brink, she had to have him inside her. Thus, she lifted herself up a little higher, smothering Thomas with her breasts. The cop immediately released the woman's buttocks as he undid his belt, unzipped his pants, and quickly pulled out his erect cock. Without any fanfare, Wonder Woman slowly impaled herself on the man's member. Her moans turned into high pitched gasps as more and more him entered her. "Oh Hera!" the woman gasped. Wonder Woman's head flung backwards and her back arched as the officer's manhood disappeared into her.
"Wonder Woman!" the man gasped as he gripped her hips and slammed himself against her over and over again.
"Thomas!" the amazon grunted as she bounced on his lap. The pleasure from her loins was something new to her, but she enjoyed it immensely. Which is why the woman slammed herself against the man, meeting every one of his thrusts.
The pair continued to moan and grunt as they fucked. Eventually, Wonder Woman's body stiffened and her eyelids fluttered. Thomas desperately tried to keep his own eyes open to admire the woman's beautiful blue eyes. The eyelids' movements were quite mesmerizing. They pulled Thomas in like a moth to a flame. Within seconds, the man was lost in them just as Wonder Woman was lost as she climbed to heights she never climbed before. Then without warning, both individuals climaxed, engulfing the room with their screams, which were loud enough to make objects in the room shake.
Two Weeks Later
"So why did you become a police officer?" Wonder Woman asked Thomas Manly as he gripped his pistol.
"I never knew my parents. All I had was this letter from my father, who supposedly was a straight arrow of a police officer. The guys on the force tell me that he was a great cop. Well, their parents told me. I've seen some pictures of him in old newspapers. He use to go around saving cats from trees for little girls. But he also saved lives. The last article that I read was about his death. One of the mob bosses thought he was getting too close and they killed him. My mother arrived home with me during the actual act according to the paper. They killed her and were about to kill me, but something happened. Their bodies were found next to my parents. The paper never identified the caller, who reported the murder. I was too young to remember any of this, but years later, the people at the orphanage informed me that when the police came to the house, I was crying, but safe. Instead of being surrounded by dead bodies and lying in a pool of blood, I was tucked inside my crib, far away from all the death. As I grew older, I decided that being a cop and doing the right thing would be the perfect way to honor my parents. Not to mention, make this city a lot safer," Thomas spoke, trying not to break down in the final parts of his tale.
"That's great to hear, Thomas. You've done a lot of good for this city," Wonder Woman replied as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You think so?" the man inquired as he turned to stare at her deep blue eyes. "The top brass wants me to retire. The say that these crooks have robbed too many banks and that crime is up."
"Bank robberies are up," Wonder Woman corrected him. "Murder is down and so far, no one is getting hurt during these robberies."
"That's because you're around. Anybody who shoots at you gets caught."
"I wish. Those people at the warehouse got away."
"True, but they left the money behind."
"But the documents got away."
"A minor setback, but I'm sure someone will find them. Probably won't be me since I'll have to retire soon."
"Do you think they'll change their minds?"
"Doubtful. They're pinning all the failures on me."
"That's quite unfair."
"It's actually alright with me. At least this way, no one else will be blamed. Might not be able to save the city by myself, but at least I'll help out my fellow officers this way. None of them will have to take the fall and who knows, maybe one of them will end this crime spree."
"You're a good man," the amazon spoke as she squeezed his shoulder.
"You think so?"
"I know so," Wonder Woman replied, almost fluttering her eyelashes like a schoolgirl.
"Well then. Why don't we go inside the bank and arrest those felons?" the man spoke with a wide grin.
"Only if we retire at your place for the night."
"You've got a deal," Thomas replied happily as he planted a kiss on Wonder Woman's cheek, only to have her grip his cheeks, and plant a long wet kiss on his lips.
Two Days Later
"Are you sure you want to do this? Police Commissioner Michael Thompson inquired as he sat behind his desk, totally dumbfounded. "I mean this is a big change for you. Are you really willing to retire? I always thought you would be in this to the bitter end. Or at least crime was down to zero. But if that is your decision, I'm all for it."
"Sir. Is that wise?" one of the lieutenants asked as six of them stood behind the man.
"I see no reason to allow it."
"But sir. It would undermine our force. No disrespect," another one quickly replied.
"But the city would feel safer when they hear this," another one chimed in.
"I feel safer already," another one smiled.
"I really don't see how this helps," the first person spoke, still uncertain. "It's true that the papers have said that an officer needs to take the heat for all the crime and they even went as far as naming a few. But is this truly the wisest thing to do. There might be a backlash, not only in this city, but others. Officers may feel slighted. City workers may even feel slighted. Basically, anybody that fights crime may very well feel slighted if we go through with this."
"First off, the people will love it," Michael Thompson corrected the man. "Police officers everywhere will feel great. In fact, officers will feel exonerated for all their decisions, right or wrong! Second, the press will have a field day with this story and it will be a virtual lovefest. They won't have a single negative thing to say. Hell! They've probably used up all the negativity already! And third, we gain the respect of everyone. Can you imagine what this will do for us? Can you imagine what this says to all our citizens? Or to the world? No boys, this is great news!
And I will accept the retirement."
"YES!" the others cheered.
"Thus it's with great pride that I accept the retirement of the superheroine, Wonder Woman, and welcome her to the ranks of our police force!" Michael Thompson spoke as he stood up and saluted the happy woman in front of him. Of course, none of the men inside were as happy as Wonder Woman's boyfriend, Thomas Manly, who was leaning against the door, trying to hear everything.
Six Months Later
"This is my favorite room, next to the kitchen," Wonder Woman spoke as she kept her hands tucked deep in the pockets of her red, white, and blue robe as she stood next to Thomas Manly. The amazon couldn't believe her luck. In the old days, she lived in an apartment. When she met Thomas, he owned a condo, slightly bigger than her apartment. The rooms were pretty spacious, which wasn't much since the condo had one bedroom and one bathroom. Then there was the kitchen that was part of the living room. It was modest, but it was all he could afford and Wonder Woman felt comfortable in the condo since every room was the same height and width, except the bathroom. However, to alleviate the fear of claustrophobia, she would keep the bathroom door open, partly because of all the missions where doors closed. She never told Thomas of her fears, but Thomas could sense something was wrong even though he didn't mind the view from the bedroom. As the months passed, the new duo on the police force gained recognition. The city couldn't force Thomas to retire and his name had been restored, thanks to the number of criminals that Wonder Woman and him were able to capture. But as luck would have it, Thomas discovered that he had won a contest from one of the local reality shows. It was one that fixed up old houses for needy families. When it was discovered that the famed officer lived in a condo, the television station decided to reward the man with a brand new house, after they fixed it up of course. Although Thomas couldn't accept it. In fact, he was a bit taken back that part of the floor plan seemed to be an exact copy of the house that his father died in. The station owner informed him that it was Wonder Woman's idea to use part of the blueprints to remind him of the family that he once had. Now that the city was safer, perhaps he could raise his own family like what his father wanted to do before his life was cut short. After hearing this, Thomas couldn't help but accept and now they have been living in the house for two months.
"I do have to say that this bedroom is twice as big as the one in the condo. Of course, the kitchen is definitely bigger than our old one. Except the bedroom and kitchen seem to be the same size," Thomas spoke as he stood behind Wonder Woman and rubbed her shoulders. He could feel the fuzzy cotton robe beneath his hands, but when Wonder Woman tilted her neck and moaned, making the man very excited.
Wonder Woman knew exactly what Thomas was saying. She had instantly noticed it when they moved into the house. The kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom were the biggest rooms in the house. The study, garage, two guest rooms were smaller and the hallways that lead to them seemed cramped. This made her hesitant to go to those rooms. In fact, she found the staircase to be small too. Often, she would stay in the kitchen or living room until Thomas took her hand and lead her to the bedroom. And since she spent so much time in the kitchen and living room, the woman was quite proficient at cleaning and cooking, something that the male cop would have never dreamed of. Except there were a lot of things that he never dreamed of coming true. When Wonder Woman saw how happy he was, she decided to pursue the activities with even more gusto. Hence, once in the bedroom she knew exactly what to do. "No more massage, honey. Get on the bed," she cooed as she took his hands gently off her shoulders.
"Okay," the man spoke dumbly as he hopped onto the bed like a giddy boy during the holidays.
Without saying a world, a mischievous grin appeared on the woman's face as she pulled her hands out of her pockets and flung the robe off. Thomas almost stopped breathing as he saw Wonder Woman standing before him with a pair of white thigh-high stockings with two straps that connected to a red garter belt. Her hands and arms were adorned with a pair of blue silk opera gloves while she wore a pair of five inch pumps. The man's member jumped to attention as Wonder Woman cupped her breasts and sauntered to the bed. She landed like a feather before planting a long wet kiss on his trembling lips. "Hmmmmm," she cooed. "Excited aren't we?"
"I . . . I . . ," the man stammered as Wonder Woman undid the cotton belt that held his robe together. Thomas quickly regained his senses as he stared into Wonder Woman's clear blue eyes and he quickly threw open the robe.
With a smile, Wonder Woman inserted his member into her sex and slowly lowered herself, moaning the entire time. Once she was halfway down, Thomas gripped her hips and continued to pull her toward him. The woman's moans filled their bedroom as she arched her back and thrust her hips wantonly.
This brought a huge smile to the cop's face as he gripped her hips tightly and began to pump deep and hard, making sure that he rubbed her clit with every thrust. The man was rewarded with Wonder Woman's pleasurable yelps as they reverberated against the walls. And even though the pair had done this numerous times, Wonder Woman remained tight as a vice, and the friction was quickly driving the couple to the height of the mountain. But Thomas couldn't neglect the woman's huge breasts. Thus, his hands released her hips and held her bouncing breasts.
"Hmmmmm," Wonder Woman moaned as she felt his hands squeezing and caressing her breasts. The woman then leaned forward and placed her gloved hands on the man's shoulders before sliding across his chest. The amazon then began to increase the speed of her thrusting hips. She could feel her lover's cock stiffen inside her as her body began to tense. Wonder Woman knew what was going to happen soon and welcomed it.
"OH GOD!" the man yelled as he slammed his head into the mattress and shot his seed deep into Wonder Woman.
"GREAT HERA!" Wonder Woman screamed as she too climaxed. The amazon fell on top of Thomas as their bodies continued to quake. Wonder Woman clenched her vaginal muscles in order to milk the cop's manhood, which only caused the man to moan as he caressed her lovely face.
"I love you," Thomas Manly spoke softly.
"I love you too," the woman replied as her blue eyes reflected his image.
"Then marry me."
"Oh Thomas!" Wonder Woman screamed in glee before she planted her mouth over his and made his cheeks puff out as she continued to scream in his mouth.
At that same time, hundred of miles away, an old woman watched the images of Thomas Manly and Wonder Woman in a crystal ball. Her hands tapped the table nervously as she watched the two continue to mate. A small tear dripped from her right eye as she blew them a kiss. "So she loves him?" the woman asked.
"My magic can only do so much," a female voice replied.
"So they're in love?" the old woman asked again as her voice trembled.
"It is."
"It has nothing to do with these then?" the old woman asked as she reached under the table and grabbed a shoe box. She placed the shoe box on the table and pulled out two dolls, one of Wonder Woman and one of Thomas Manly. The dolls were holding hands and were inseparable.
A woman with black hair and even blacker skin appeared across the table from the old woman. The woman didn't look a year over twenty, yet no one really knew her age. Without even staring at the dolls, the woman grinned. "At first, the Wonder Woman doll was left alone in a smaller shoe box. Never did I close it. As time passed, I would close it, but I always used the doll of Thomas to open it. I repeated the process over and over again. Eventually, I placed both dolls in the box and never closed it. As the days progressed, they moved closer and closer. So I decided to move them to a bigger box. Then one day, they held hands and I couldn't separate them. My magic only enchanted the dolls, they made their own decisions," the woman replied.
"The Bartoni family and the other families have already left the city. Of course, most of the other families are in jail, except the Bartoni family."
"Yes. That is what you wanted."
"I wanted the cop to be happy."
"And he is."
"So let's keep it that," the old woman replied as she placed both dolls back into the shoe box and slid it across the table.
The black woman smiled as the shoe box disappeared with the two dolls. "You made the right decision. I had a few qualms about accepting this job, but I knew there was something about you."
"I know you think I'm an evil person, but I'm not. I wanted to see crime stop as much as anyone when I was young. That's why against my father's wishes, I married a cop. The other families saw this as a weakness and they moved in. They killed my husband and would have killed me if it wasn't for my father's men storming the house and killing my assassins. I couldn't save my husband's life, but I knew I could save my son's life. I faked my own death by paying off the coroner. No one was the wiser. I sent money and gifts to the orphanage and I wanted the people who worked their to extol the virtues of his father, the man I fell in love with. They did and Thomas decided to become a police officer. It's a dangerous job and it appeared that he was on the same dangerous path as his father. So when I heard Wonder Woman was here, I decided she would be the best protector that a mother could ever find," the old woman sobbed.
"I have a feeling that these two would have found each other eventually, Ms. Bartoni," the woman spoke as she pointed at the image of pair inside the crystal ball.
"All that matters now is that they did. You can remove the claustrophobia from Wonder Woman now."
"There is no need for that. Just as there is no need for us to meddle with their relationship."
"Tell me. Were you the one that stopped them from viewing the documents in the warehouse?"
"I didn't stop them."
"Did Wonder Woman see the birth certificate?"
"No."
"Good. Then I shall take my leave. At least my father's men were able to retrieve the documents," the old woman stood up as the cabin door opened for her.
"You don't want him to know?"
"He doesn't need to know. It's better this way," she kissed her fingers and placed it on the image of her son.
"Goodbye Ms. Bartoni."
"Call me, Mrs. Manly. And I thank you for your help," the old woman spoke as she bowed her head and left.
"Anytime. From one mother to the other," the magical woman replied respectfully as the entire cabin disappeared.
The End
