Supergirl and Wonder Woman - ApokolipsNow
Supergirl and Wonder Woman have escaped from Granny but are still trapped on Apokolips!
Without their powers, without help, without hope how will they survive? And what will they sacrifice?
In our last episode the two nearly-powerless women were seen falling to their doom from Granny's tower…
Will they survive?
If they don't it'll be a pretty quick story huh?

Chapter 2 - A Tour of Armaghetto
Imagine the worse industrial wasteland you've ever seen. Worse than Detroit, worse than East St Louis, worse even than New Jersey. A place where the sky is always black and the only light is the glow of the miles-wide fire pits that dot its surface. A place with no plants, no color and no hope. Where endless slums are broken up only by hulking fortresses and weapon factories.
You have imagined Apokolips, a world of evil gods under the absolute unyielding rule of Darkseid.
Today Apokolips sees that rarest of things however.
Disorder.
Far above the slums of Armaghetto a window shatters and two brightly colored figures fall. One a blonde dressed in a blue crop top, a blue pleated skirt and a red cape. The other a brunette, dressed in a red and gold corset that barely manages to hold her wondrous breasts.
On their world they were two of the mightiest heroines alive but now they were beaten and nearly powerless, falling to their deaths.
Or so it seems.
"Ow" Supergirl said.
"Ow. I should be dead. But I can't be dead. I hurt too much." The Maid of Might lay sprawled a stagnant pool of filth, it stank of human waste and rotting sewage. It soaked through her cape and costume and even got in her panties. But she wasn't dead.
Next to her Wonder Woman grabbed at the stone wall and pulled herself to her knees. "I couldn't fly, too weak, but at the last minute I was able to g-glide on some air currents. An old Amazon trick. I guided us in for a soft landing."
"Oh, thanks. You might have given me some warning you know?"
"I did! I kept trying to show you with my eyes."
"Is that what that was? I thought you were having a fit!"
"Well I could hardly say 'here's my plan to escape' could I?"
"Yeah, guess not. How you doing?"
"Well I feel about a hundred times better now, but nowhere near normal." She took out the remnants of her magic lasso, just three feet of yellow rope. "It looks like we're going to have to be careful here." She extended a hand and helped Supergirl out of the pool of muck. "How are you?"
"A bit better but I should be fine once the sun comes out." Supergirl pulled off a boot and shook it trying to get some of the slime and filth out.
Wonder Woman looked up at the ash-black sky and pointed to a faint sickly glow. "I think the sun is out. If I remember correctly Apokolips is under a constant eclipse."
"Oh. This just gets better and better doesn't it?" Supergirl sighed.
"They don't call it Apokolips because it's a great tourist spot." Wonder Woman said with a wry smile. "We're trapped on a world of evil gods with technology far more advanced than anything we have. We barely have any powers and you can bet Granny's already looking for us. Plus we don't know what happened to Earth or how long we've been out."
"So much for the good news. What's the plan?"
"We get off this rock and back home. By any means necessary."
Supergirl wrung out her other boot. "Sounds good to me." She looked around. The waste pool was in a cul-de-sac surrounded by crumbling stone walls with one narrow alleyway leading out. She could see shadowy figures crossing in front of the alleyway, where ever they were there were people around. "I wonder if there's anywhere we can get food or a hot shower?"
"Supergirl…"
"Hey, we have to stay upbeat right? Anyway call me Kara, I'm not feeling too super right now."
"Only if you'll call me Diana, I'm not feeling too wonderful either."
Supergirl heard something moving overhead and looked up. Just in time for a pail full of waste to be dumped on her face.
"Haw! Got her!" Shrill laughs filled the air from the level above and Supergirl sighed. She wiped her face with her already filthy sleeve and said "I hate this place."
Soon the two heroines joined the milling throngs who filled the endless streets and slums of Armaghetto.
"This isn't going to work." Supergirl hissed pulling her cape around her. "Look around they're all dressed in rags, even covered in crap we stand out too much." Supergirl wasn't exaggerating, the denizens of Armaghetto wore ragged cloaks that covered most of their bodies and faces and walked with a defeated attitude the proud heroines could not properly emulate. And while Supergirl was too polite to mention it but nearly all the residents also had scars, burns, missing limbs and other obvious malformities from their hard lives. The two superhumanly perfect heroines were already attracting much too much attention.
"We need to keep moving." Wonder Woman hissed back. "We're still too close." She pointed to the dark stone tower that still loomed behind them.
Supergirl looked at it and shuddered. She couldn't summon her X-ray vision but her eyes were still sharper than any human's she noted the window had already been replaced. She could see Parademons flying around the tower and the slums, no doubt looking for them.
"What is this place anyway? I mean it's an alien world but it looks like the slums in Nigeria or Gotham. Only worse, even the worst slums on Earth still have music, and flowers and life. And how come everyone here speaks English? And what's with the crazy names like Granny Goodness?" Supergirl babbled as they walked.
"They're not really speaking English you know. Stop and listen."
Supergirl cocked her head and listened carefully.
"Careful now, Parademon patrols are out."
"I hear Glorious Godfrey is hiring work crews to build his new palace."
"Pretty girl, you want to play?"
"New Genesis sympathizers blew up the relay station, no power in sector 11."
"Alms, alms, please, alms?"
"Rao! You're right, it's not English, or Kryptonian, or any language I know. But I understand it perfectly. How?"
"It's like Granny said, this is a world of gods. They're communicating on a primal level, our minds just perceive it as English or Greek or Kryptonian. It's the same with the names, I'm sure Granny Goodness is not that woman's real name, but that's the closest our minds can come to understanding it. Maybe even their faces and bodies, we see these people around us as ragged slum dwellers because that's something our minds can understand. Who knows what their real forms are."
"Whoa, that's a bit out there Diana. I'm just going to take things as I can see them and worry about the metaphysics after we get home."
"Smart move. We see the gods on Paradise Island all the time and we still don't understand them."
Supergirl looked around the crippled beggars, the hungry kids, the stink and poverty. "So these people are gods? I mean real gods? Not just ragged peasants? I mean what's that guy the god of public urination? And that guy's the god of lice? And she's the god of skin rashes?"
"I don't think it quite works that way" Wonder Woman said smiling for the first time since she awoke in Granny's lair. "From what I gather these lowlies are all the same race as the people on New Genesis or the leaders of Apokolips. Maybe even the same race as the gods of Olympus. But Darkseid keeps them down, makes sure they can never realize their potential."
"Rao! So these people could have all kinds of powers and abilities but Darkseid won't let them. That's one of the most evil things I've ever heard. I swear we're going to do something about this place Diana. Whatever it takes we're going to help them!"
Wonder Woman nodded. "But first we have to find a way to get home."
"Well we're not going to get much farther unless we can blend in." Supergirl stopped and leaned against a building to catch her breath. "Or get some food and some rest." She added. "I'm not used to being this weak."
"Kara we don't have time-"
"Diana you can play the indomitable Amazon all you want but I've seen you limping and stumbling too. It won't be much of an escape if they find us passed out in the street. Besides…" She tapped the heavy iron collar around her neck. "Unless we find cloaks or something these are going to make us stand out."
Wonder Woman sighed and nodded. "Fine, fine, I'll make us a reservation at the Hilton."
Supergirl chuckled. "Nice to see your sense of humor is as good as ever."
"How does that look?" She gestured towards a crumbling four story building, there seemed to be quite a few people moving in and out, all of them couples. Supergirl saw some of them exchanging money.
"Uh Diana you realize that that's um… y'know." Supergirl blushed.
"I know. Believe me I know. But it's our best bet right now. You don't look like you can go much further."
"Sure, blame the wimpy blonde, maybe if a certain athletic brunette hadn't tossed me out a window I'd be feeling better."
"You can bring that up with Granny any time you want Kara. Now let's see about getting a room."
The two filthy heroines crossed the busy street and ducked into the building's dark doorway. They averted their eyes from a couple rutting in the foyer and turned to an old woman behind a crude table.
"We are uh, travelers from far away and seek lodgings for a brief rest."
"Plus a shower! And some clean clothes, or cloaks or rags or whatever you've got." Kara added.
The woman chuckled and smiled a toothless grin. "You think Hunger Dogs dumb? You no travelers, you runaways from Granny. You bring trouble. Why I help you?"
"We are heroines form the planet Earth and we-"
"Uh excuse me Princess, maybe I should do this? We'll make it worth your while, we'll give you her tiara, it's gold."
"What? Kara this was forged by Hephaestus, it's the royal crown of an Amazon Princess!"
"Come on Diana you probably have a box of them back home."
"It's also a weapon, it can serve as a boomerang and has a cutting edge. We might still need it."
"Fine, whatever, keep your hairclip. What else do we have to trade? I've got twenty bucks in my skirt but I don't think she'll take it."
The old woman reached over the table and wiped some filth from Wonder Woman's bustier. She tapped the two Ws. "This goldy gold too."
Supergirl looked hopefully at Wonder Woman. "But this is my emblem, the sacred symbol of the champion of Paradise-" She looked again at Supergirl's face rolled her eyes and nodded. "Fine."
"We want a room, a bath, a meal and two cloaks!" Supergirl said.
"Deal!" The woman said reaching forward and then she tore the golden emblem from Wonder Woman's top. The two golden Ws disappeared into the woman's cloak.
"How did you-? My armor was woven by Hera and-oh never mind." She pulled her top up a bit to cover more of her breasts with the ragged red cloth.
"Third floor, second room on the left. I'll have a boy bring up some water and some bread."
The heroines were too exhausted by then to argue details of what counted as a bath or a meal and staggered up the stairs.
Soon a pail of mostly clean water and a pile of rags arrived so they could wash off the worst of the filth.
Then they stumbled into the single bed and fell fast asleep.
While they slept a tray of food was dropped off along with two cloaks that would hide the women's features. The exhausted heroines didn't even notice the door opening and closing.
They woke up to the sound of rats attacking their meal.
Supergirl jumped up and shooed the rats away.
"Sorry." She said offering Wonder Woman a few crusts of bread and a bowl of porridge.
"Can't be helped." Wonder Woman replied. "How are you feeling?"
"Better, but still no flying, no X-ray vision, and my heat vision is barely enough to give a rat a hotfoot. I'm a bit worried, what if that's as good as it gets here?"
"Then we'll make do. I've been in tougher spots."
"You? Seriously? You're Wonder Woman, nothing bad ever happens to you!"
"Ha, I wish. Remind me to tell you sometime about rescuing Artemis from the depths of hell."
"Bad huh?"
Wonder Woman was chained to a stake in a demonic castle surrounded by rivers of lava. Her proud costume was torn to shreds, only a few rags and strands of hair protected her dignity. Demons circled her cracking their barbed whips.
She'd been beaten severely and lost a lot of blood, demonic venom burned in her blood, the demons were laughing, taunting her. Worse than that was the knowledge that her sister, the woman she had come to save, the Amazon Artemis had joined the demons and as Wonder Woman suffered she fulfilled her carnal lusts in the tower above.
"Just say it Diana" their leader said. "Just one simple word, you don't even have to mean it. Just call me Master."
Wonder Woman raised her head weakly. The demon's face floated in front of her, no, his head wasn't moving, her eyes couldn't focus. She moaned and croaked, he leaned in to hear.
She spat in his face.
"Bad enough. Lucky Artemis came to her senses in time. She ended up saving us both. So yeah, I've been in tough spots."
"Yeah, I suppose I have too. Did I tell you what happened in Gotham last year?" Seeing Wonder Woman shrug she continued. "This inner city school invited me to speak to their astronomy club and you know how Kal is always blah-blah-blahing about how we should help the poor kids in Gotham so I went. Turns out the 'Astronomy Club' consisted of a dozen horny nerds with a cape fetish and a chunk of kryptonite."
"Hi guys I'm Kara Zor-El, better known as Supergirl!" The blonde announced as she descended through the open skylight.
She smiled at the awestruck boys, seeing hero worship in their eyes, when in fact they were still stunned from seeing her blue panties at them when she landed.
Supergirl took out a holoprojector from the pouch in her cape. "I figured I would start with a presentation on my home Argo City."
"Actually Supergirl we wanted to start by presenting you with a souvenir of our esteem."
"Huh, um sure, OK."
The pimply-faced boy smiled at her showing off his braces. He took out a box, a lead box. If Supergirl had been a bit more savy she would have run right then. Instead she stood there smiling awkwardly as he walked up to her and opened it.
The world turned green.
Supergirl doubled over clutching her slender stomach. She broke out in a sweat instantly soaking her top. Her knees turned to rubber and she fell down. She opened her mouth to say 'Excuse me gentlemen but I think I am experiencing an adverse reaction to your kind present' (or words to that effect) but instead puked out her guts over her modest breasts.
Someone kicked her in the back and she landed limply on her chest. Then he flipped up her skirt exposing the tightest ass in the world. Supergirl moaned in humiliation, she'd wet her panties.
"Holy shit! It actually worked."
"I totally cannot believe Luthor never tired this."
"So who gets to take her cherry?"
"I think we can settle this the usual, civilized manner."
"Oh, that must have been rough."
"You can't imagine, so there I was on the floor, puking my guts out, watching my fingernails turn green while these geeks are playing a game of Magic the Gathering to decide who gets first crack at Supergirl's virginity. I would have told them they were a year too late if I thought it would help."
"Great Hera! I never knew!"
"Well thankfully Batgirl tracked their ebay purchase and burst in through the skylight before they got around to me. We decided to keep it out of the courts and the papers. As far as anyone know they the astronomy club fell down the stairs and broke some bones. I mean can you imagine if it went public? It sounds like some perverted internet fanfic, I'd never live it down. My hair smelled like puke for a week after that, I finally had to fly through the sun to get the smell out."
Supergirl unclipped her cape and pulled off her top exposing her smallish breasts tipped by small pink nipples.
"Anyway, speaking of things that smell like puke, there's some water left, I'm going to see if I can't get my clothes somewhat clean."
Wonder Woman tried not to roll her eyes, they had to get moving, they'd needed rest but this was no time for vanity. But she also knew she had to show some patience, they were both near their breaking point. She climbed out of bed and headed for the door.
"I'm going to walk around a bit, get the lay of the land, see if I can find any clues about how we can get off this rock."
"OK, you do th-AHHHHH!"
"Uhh!"
As soon as Diana stepped out the door Supergirl screamed in agony while Wonder Woman was able to keep it to a low moan of pain. She crawled back and the pain ceased.
"Rao, what was that?" Supergirl finally managed between pants. "It made kryptonite feel like a mosquito bite."
Wonder Woman touched her collar, it was warm. "I think it's these collars. I guess we're not meant to get too far away from each other."
"Oh well. Hand me your top."
"I really don't need-"
"Diana if I have stay within 10 feet of you then I am going to wash the shit off of your clothes."
Wonder Woman sighed and shook her head but complied. She reached behind and undid the fasteners, her red bustier almost burst off her body as the most admired breasts on Earth sprang free. They were perfectly round, firm and full, tipped with large brown areolas and nipples.
Supergirl stared.
"Uh Kara? You're staring."
Supergirl shook her head and took the torn top. She dipped it in the bucket and rung it out. Then her skirt and panties followed. Wonder Woman noted that Supergirl kept her nether hairs trimmed in a neat landing strip. She wondered how the normally invulnerable teen did it but decided not to ask. Soon her own star-spangled satin shorts followed. Finally Supergirl draped the clothes out on a chair to dry a bit. While the heroines waited for their uniforms to dry they climbed back into bed.
"Y'know Diana, with all the complaining I never thanked you for saving me." Kara whispered.
"It's OK Kara, I know-mmmph!" Supergirl had leaned over and kissed the Amazon on the lips while applying one delicate hand to her companion's full breast. Wonder Woman's instincts took over, she shoved the blonde out of the bed.
"Oh no! Great Rao I'm sorry, I thought, I mean I heard, I mean… oh no…" Supergirl started to cry.
"No, no, Kara" she climbed out of bed and hugged the naked teen. "I was just… surprised that's all. And you should never surprise an Amazon."
"It's just I mean we're alone and I'm scared and I know you don't like me and I don't know if we'll get home and I everyone says that y'know, you like girls so I thought if maybe…"
"Wait, who says that?"
"Everyone! I mean all the people on the internet and Superboy says he once saw you and Starfire and-"
"No, not that, I uh, I read the internet too. I mean who says I don't like you?"
"Huh? I mean you're always sighing and rolling your eyes and I know I complain a lot and we never really hung out before and you're like Wonder Woman and I'm just Superman's cousin and… and I talk a lot when I'm nervous."
"I hadn't noticed." Wonder Woman chuckled. "But to answer your question, no I don't not like you."
"Don't not like…"
"I mean I like you, it's just when I'm under stress I well… I get bitchy."
"Seriously? I hadn't noticed." Supergirl laughed.
"Now about those internet rumors, not true. And Superboy is lying little shit."
"But I always figured, y'know, island of women, it just made sense."
"Let me tell you a secret, and if you tell anyone I swear I'll tell them how you got a pail of crap dumped on your face."
"OK, OK, I swear, locked in the vault."
"OK, I grew up on an island of women yes, but I was also the only child, and the queen's daughter at that. So I'd go out to the hot springs and hear all kinds of panting and moaning but as soon as little Diana shows up… suddenly everyone has their hands to themselves and discussing Plato and Aristotle. There's a lot going on Paradise Island, but not for little Diana."
Kara giggled at that. "OK so I guess you and Steve-"
"Hold your horses Kara, once I came to the Man's World things got even more… complicated. I mean Steve Trevor's in love with me and we go on these 'dates' but to him I'm like this untouchable icon. We never got past holding hands or a kiss on the cheek. That's like what… Negative First Base? Course it doesn't help that we can't go anywhere without Cheetah or Dr Psycho attacking. Anyway needless to say every other man either figures I like girls, or I'm with Steve. So um, my nights aren't exactly busy."
"So wait, you're saying."
"Yep, the original Old Maid of Might, that's me."
"Never?"
Diana shrugged.
"Ever?"
"Wait a second, are you saying you-"
Supergirl blushed and looked away.
"What about I mean the invulnerable hymen, girl of steel, boy of tissue paper…"
"Red sun lamps, magic, Bottle City of Kandor…. To tell the truth none of the logistical issues were as much of a problem as the world's most overprotective older cousin."
"So how… who?"
"Well the first time shouldn't count, I was brainwashed into thinking I was a lab assistant in Kandor while another Kryptonian took my place. One night me and Men-Tor were working late and, y'know, stuff. Then there was this green boy in the 30th Century. Then I had amnesia and married this alien…"
"Merciful Aphrodite… I never even thought…"
"No one does. Not even Kal. Everyone just figures I'm his sweet innocent little cousin who never kissed a boy. Yep, good old Supergirl, the Maiden of Might!"
"Huh, I guess you can't believe everything you hear."
The two looked at each other, they were naked, in each other's arms and scared. Supergirl's lips trembled.
"Our uh, costumes should be dry by now." Wonder Woman said getting to her feet.
"Uh right, our costumes, yes, get dressed, right."
Soon, once more garbed in their costumes, covered by ragged cloaks, the two heroines were on their way.
Afterword
Ah so I guess they didn't die, that's cool. Now all they have to do is escape a world of pure evil.
And how hard could that be?
Supergirl's little flashback is something I made up, it started as a one-liner, then grew with more detail and finally a full-fledged flashback. By contrast Wonder Woman's flashback actually happened, yes, including Artemis' orgy with demons. It's from the Artemis: Requiem miniseries in the 90s, one of those 90s artifacts that makes you wonder how the hell that ever got printed.
Anyway more chapters are on their way, so let me know how I'm doing and what you want to see. In the meantime check out Chronicles of the Crimson Cobra and Superman Enslaves the DC Universe, there's now chapters for both in progress.
