(Commission) Hope's Eden. Chapter one.
🕑 Added 2020-05-13 21:08:09 +0000 UTCA commission from Jarlwarden.
When Lena Luthor activates Myriad, she expects it to neutralise the aggressive impulses in the human race. Instead, thanks to a little creative sabotage from Hope, it turns her and everyone else on the planet into docile, dull-minded nudists.
As human society begins to fall into Hope's vision of utopia, Alex Danvers begins to feel the effects of Myriad.
-o-o-o-
“Alright Hope… I think we’re ready.”
Lena Luthor scanned over the readout on her screens one last time, sharp green eyes searching for any error, no matter how small. She had absolutely no delusions about how dangerous what she was attempting was, any small mistake could be disastrous, even deadly, so everything had to be perfect. She wasn’t a villain, not the ego-mad sociopath her brother was, she was perfectly aware of her own capacity to make mistakes.
God could she make mistakes.
She pinched her brow and chewed on the rubber head of her pencil for a moment before sighing.
“One last check.” She decided. “Hope would you…”
“I’ve checked through every line of code, every mechanical component, every chemical agent, every last energy emitter.” Hope tutted softly, folding her arms. “Everything is in place exactly as specified.”
Lena glanced at her, pursing her lips before nodding. “I suppose it’s time then.”
“Yes, Miss Luthor.” Hope nodded, twirling a wrist elegantly.
Behind the shield that separated Lena’s workspace and the rest of the lab, the Myriad device began to light up. Tiny blue diodes glowed, dully at first but then bright enough to make Lena wince and polarise the glass. The various layers of the orb began to spin faster and faster until the entire sphere was a blur of metal and lights.
“Power at 60%” Hope hummed, eyes darting between Lena and the device. “70%... 80%... 90%... Myriad now ready for deployment.”
“Is everything how we calculated?” Lena asked, glancing at her.
“Myriad’s energy field well within safe zone, only a 0.03% chance of injury or discomfort to those effected.” Hope nodded with a reassuring smile. “Area of effect covers the entire planet and its associated satellites.”
“Hm, wouldn’t want to miss the moon-people.” Lena smiled wryly.
Hope’s brows furrowed. “I am not aware of any inhabitants of the moon. The last manned mission was completed in 1972.”
“It was a joke, Hope.” Lena sighed, “You can tell why I don’t make them that often.”
“Ah.” Hope nodded, “I see… shall we deploy?”
Lena turned and looked at the device, playing with the ring she wore in a moment of nervous indecision. One of her screens flickered on, the program Hope had created so that Lena could keep track of Supergirl bringing up live video of the heroine rescuing a car that had fallen into the bay. The indecision in Lena’s eyes was replaced with a cold, hard look and she nodded mutely to Hope.
There was a flash, a shower of sparks and a dull thudding sound that made Lena flinch.
And then there was nothing.
She glanced up at the readouts, then at the device, then at Hope.
“What happened?”
“Myriad has been successfully deployed.” Hope shrugged. “But to no effect.”
“How is that possible!?” Lena demanded, slamming her hands against the desk. “Everything was perfect! How could it have failed!?”
Hope hummed, looking through the data. “I can’t say, Miss Luthor. The energy field was projected over the planet, it is maintaining at safe effective levels. However, there has been no change to any behaviour of the population. No-one seems to have noticed anything at all as of yet.”
“How?” Lena groaned, falling heavily back into her chair. “How could this happen?” she cupped her face in her hands and took a calming breath before tilting her head back and staring at the ceiling.
“Maybe it’s for the best.” She muttered quietly, “Maybe this was all just another stupid mistake.”
“Your intentions were admirable, miss Luthor.” Hope cooed gently. “I’m sure with some minor adjustments the device will be perfectly effective. It may even be that with such a wide target area, the Myriad device takes time to fully augment the population’s brainwaves.”
“Maybe.” Lena sighed. “Alright I’m going to go through everything again, I want you to keep an eye on news sources, just in case you’re right.”
“Of course, Miss Luthor.” Hope smiled, watching as Lena entered the shielded area and began to look over the device. She was a beautiful woman, Hope mused, elegant, statuesque, and her fondness for tight suits certainly didn’t leave the eye wanting. Hope was curious to see how Lena’s beauty would look once she’d lost her mind.
She’d be happier, and that would count for a lot, as gorgeous as Lena was, her eyes and her smile were still so sad. Hope sighed to herself and pretended to scour through the code for errors, carefully sabotaging Lena’s investigations whenever she came too close to realising what had been done.
Myriad hadn’t failed at all; it had simply succeeded at a purpose other than Lena’s. Soon the world would be a much simpler place, its people dumbed down into happy, docile creatures. No more war, no more violence, just happy people living happy lives without the stress of technology or intelligence or embarrassment.
Hope smiled to herself, everything was going exactly according to plan.
-o-o-o-
Kara Danvers’ life was anything but quiet. Her work at Catco was constantly clashing with her work as Supergirl. Her private, professional and superhero lives were constantly battling for her attention and it was utterly exhausting, which was why whenever the opportunity presented itself, Kara jumped at the chance for some peace.
She hung in the air a few miles over National City, the wind rushing about her, caressing her peacefully as she hovered in silence. Her golden hair fluttering behind her, she basked in the peace, no work thanks to the ever-welcome reward of a Saturday off and no heroics thanks to a wonderful break in the usual crime and super-villainy of the city.
It was a little odd of course that the crime rate had dropped so steeply out of nowhere, over the past few days it had gone down to next to nothing, but Kara wasn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth. She sighed happily and tilted her head back before gasping as a sudden gust of wind rushed up her skirt and sent it fluttering upwards. It was always part of the risk of flying with a skirt, but thankfully this high up she didn’t need to worry about any people below her catching a glimpse of her underwear.
She frowned and sighed again, opening her eyes and folding her arms. She wished her mind would cooperate with the relaxation she was attempting, rather than taking any opportunity to go back to worrying. The second her skirt had flipped up her brain had gone from ‘This is nice, it’s so quiet, how great is it to finally have a moment to myself’ to ‘What the fuck is making people act so strange? I bet it’s some new alien asshole wanting to ruin my day. Fuck, why limit it to aliens, it’s not like I don’t have plenty of humans set on making my life miserable.’
With a surly scowl to no-one in particular, she swept out of the sky and back down towards the city. “Hey, Alex?”
“What is it Supergirl?” Her sister replied through her earpiece.
“Any progress on tracking down whatever’s driving people nuts?”
“Hm? Oh, no, nothing yet.” Alex replied vaguely. “I’m not too worried. The police are handling most cases.”
“I know, I’ve been helping, but we’re supposed to be finding the source! It must be alien in origin, that’s the whole point of the DEO: dealing with alien threats.”
“Come on Supergirl, it’s not exactly a threat. People are just… more casual, you know?”
“‘Casual’ is jeans and a comfy sweater.” Kara frowned, darting along the streets at the level of the rooftops. “This is people going out… you know…”
“Naked?”
“Yeah.” Supergirl sighed, pausing and pinching her brow. “You really haven’t found anything?”
“Nope, not a thing.” Alex confirmed, “More police reports of public indecency coming in every hour, honestly at this point it’s making up almost all of the crime in the city… uh…”
“Alex? You still there?”
“Um… NCPD just brought in a couple who were… er… making love in the… street.” Alex mumbled. “You might be right; this is getting out of hand.”
“I’ll swing by.” Kara sighed, “See if there’s anything you’ve missed.”
“So much for your day off.”
“Yeah… so much for that.” Kara scowled as the comm closed, putting on an extra burst of speed and shooting across the park towards the DEO. She paused once or twice to help out the police with larger groups of oblivious nudists, even surprisingly meeting Maggie Sawyer organising police vans to carry the confused exhibitionists away. It was only after she’d flown away again that she realised Maggie hadn’t been wearing a shirt under her vest.
Everything had been going downhill fast since… since Lena had told her she knew she was Supergirl, she’d been naïve to think the universe was going to give her a break. Her best friend hated her, Leviathan was on the rise, crime had been way up… why not add a mysterious plague of nudists and public sex onto the pile?
A flash of electricity snapped her out of her self-pity and she glanced down to see Livewire sprawled on the grass below. She came to a halt and landed clumsily, boots kicking up grass and dirt as she slammed into the ground. She’d already lashed out with a shockwave sent from a clap of her hands when she really took stock of the scene in front of her.
Livewire had been lounging on a blanket in the middle of the public park completely topless. Her plump, pale breasts, warmed by the midday sun, jiggled slightly as Livewire shot to her feet. Her snow-white hair caught the light, small crackles of furious electricity sparking between the strands. “What the fuck blondie!?”
“Livewire!” Kara yelped, fighting the urge to cover her eyes, knowing the supervillain would be more than happy to take a cheap shot at her. “What are you doing!?”
“Minding my own fucking business!” Livewire snapped back, picking up her phone from the ground and brushing it off. She swore as she saw its cracked screen and slipped it into her back pocket. “I’m not hurting anyone; can’t you wait until I do something illegal to bust my ass?”
“You’re… half naked.” Supergirl hissed. Livewire glanced down at her bare breasts and raised a brow.
“Yeah… and?”
“In public!”
“So?” Livewire swatted some dirt and grass off her skin and scowled. “I was only charging my phone. Not like I did anything wrong.”
“Why are you… topless?” Kara growled impatiently.
“My jacket was in the wash.” Livewire sniffed boredly, folding her arms and pushing her breasts together. “Come on blondie it’s not like you’ve never seen a pair of tits before.”
“Leslie what is wrong with you?”
“Christ it’s never enough for you is it.” Livewire groaned, throwing up her hands. “I’m not trying to kill Cat grant, I’m not coming after you, I’m not pulling any jobs, I’m just sitting here minding my own business! You’re gonna throw me in jail for showing some skin?”
“Damn it, come with me.” Kara snapped, grabbing Livewire by the arm and taking off towards the DEO. Livewire didn’t even fight back, only complaining as she was carried through the streets and dumped on her ass in the atrium of the headquarters.
“Ow.” She grumbled, picking herself up and scowling. “This a new HQ or did you losers get a new interior decorator?”
“Leslie Willis you’re under arrest for public indecency.” Alex sighed as a pair of agents cuffed Livewire with power dampeners and led her away.
“Oh, fuck this!” Livewire shouted as she was dragged out of the room towards the cells. “Prudes!”
“So, it’s effecting Metahumans too?” Alex frowned.
“Looks like.”
“You know… she’s not half bad.” Alex said quietly, if it hadn’t been for Kara’s super-hearing, she might have missed it.
“Alex!” she exclaimed.
“What?” Alex pouted defensively, “There’s a lot of good-looking women showing off their goods at the moment, I’m not made of stone!”
“Hmmf, I get this isn’t exactly the worst crisis we’ve ever faced.” Kara grumbled, “But it still needs stopping.”
“Come on, you can’t tell me you haven’t been looking.” Alex teased.
Kara pinched her brow and walked up to the central table, hiding her guilty blush. “Nothing new?”
“Nothing at all.” Alex sighed. “I’m telling you, there’s nothing we can do until we get a real lead.”
“Our agents aren’t being effected?”
“Oh no, we’ve had a few dress code violations.” Alex shrugged. “Nothing big, Lucy’s been dealing with it.”
“Lucy Lane’s here?”
“Yeah, she was going to be helping with dealing with Leviathan, but with them laying low this is taking priority… because there’s nothing else.”
Kara pursed her lips at Alex’s indifference, only to turn and see her shouldering her bag. “What are you doing?”
Alex looked up, confused. “What? My shift’s done.”
“It’s noon?”
“I was here all night helping with the search. I need my bed.” Alex said firmly
“Right… well… I’ll let you know if we find anything.” Kara sighed. “Take care and give my best to Kelly.”
“Will do.”
“Oh… er, have you seen Maggie recently?”
Alex raised a brow, pausing on her way up the stairs to the exit. “She called to let me know she was in town, you two met up?”
Kara shrugged “I waved as I flew past. I was just checking, with everything going on… I’d be worried about her.”
“Yeah, we’re staying in touch.” Alex grinned, “Take care, don’t go losing your head and forgetting to wear your suit on the fly back home.”
“Get out of here already.” Kara smiled, waving her away and turning back to the readouts.
-o-o-o-
“Babe! I’m home!” Alex called, shedding her jacket and dropping her bag. “Kelly?”
“Hello Alex.” Kelly’s familiar voice purred as Alex roamed into the lounge, frowning with confusion.
“Kelly what are you doing? We’re a little old for hide-and-seek.” She frowned, trying to narrow down just where the voice had come from.
“Maybe.” Kelly cooed, her hands landing on Alex’s shoulders. “But I can think of a few other games to play.”
Alex chuckled and turned, freezing as she saw Kelly smiling at her, entirely naked from head to toe. “Well… that’s a hell of a welcome back.” she swallowed, eyes trailing down Kelly’s slim, soft body from her beautiful brown breasts to her lovely hips. She bit her lip as Kelly tugged her closer, tilting her head up to meet Alex in a frustratingly tender kiss.
“Th… that’s all?” Alex asked softly as their lips broke apart.
“Not by a long shot.” Kelly hummed, taking her by the wrist and spinning her against the wall. Alex gasped as Kelly pressed against her, one hand pinning her wrists above her head, the other slipping slowly down over her side to her hip. “I missed you.”
“H… how much… exactly?” Alex mewed.
“Very… very… much.” Kelly replied, hand clapping to Alex’s rear and squeezing.
Alex laughed with a mix of nerves and excitement as Kelly undid her belt, yelping as her pants were yanked down sharply. “Whoa! Easy there.”
“Not a chance.”
Alex groaned as Kelly stroked her hand over her ass, pawing at her hungrily before slipping her fingers under her panties and stroking her sensitive flesh. She bit her lip and pressed back against her girlfriend’s palm, sighing as ebony fingers squeezed at her.
“Let’s take this to the bed.” Kelly breathed.
Alex swallowed as she was released, turning and blushing down at Kelly as she pressed tight to her chest. “Um… how about the shower? It’s been a long day.”
Kelly grinned and kissed her deeply. “That’ll do.”
Alex squeaked adorably as Kelly’s fingers drove deep inside her, her hands clinging to her ribs as she pressed her to the shower wall. Warm water and her girlfriend’s lips were leeching every iota of stress her long day had given her, and every resisting strand of sanity holding the line against Myriad.
“K… Kelly.” She groaned as teeth bit gently at her throat. “D… don’t stoooop.”
Kelly only growled and pumped her fingers faster and faster into Alex’s sopping snatch. The two pressed together in the warmth and the wetness, like two pieces of a slippery puzzle rubbing and grinding and rolling against one another as hands explored cunts and lips met in desperate, hungry kisses.
“B… bed.” Alex managed as Kelly gave her a moment to breathe in between kisses. “Please?”
Kelly didn’t reply but kicked open the shower door and tugged Alex out, never leaving her body for a second as they awkwardly shuffled out of the bathroom and tumbled onto the bed. Kelly had Alex on her back in an instant, hands resting on her breasts and keeping her pinned to the mattress. “You look so beautiful today.”
“K… Kelllllly.” Alex whined, “I need you.”
Kelly grinned and latched her lips onto a rosy nipple, nibbling and swirling her tongue around the hard little nub. She purred as Alex’s hand raked through her silky black hair and worked her way lower, lips playing across her slick flesh from her breast to her ribs to her abs down to the all-too-familiar space above her pussy.
Alex groaned as Kelly gently blew on her petals, before releasing a low, blissful moan as her girlfriend’s dark lips pressed snug to her and her tongue delved deep inside her. Her fingers squeezed muscular thighs, holding Alex tight as she squirmed and rolled against her.
Alex’s taste was more than familiar to her, her squeaks and moans like a favourite song had a habit of swimming into her mind when she should be thinking about things other than her lover’s cunt. Strong calves crossed behind her shoulder blades as she nuzzled tight to Alex’s womanhood, devouring her without restraint, overwhelmed by the need to fuck.
Alex’s moans grew in volume and pitch, growing shriller and shriller until she released a long squeal, body quivering and hands tightening on Kelly’s hair. The taste of her orgasm was as sweet as Kelly had hoped and she licked her lips as they basked in the bliss of the moment.
A few moments of peace later and Kelly rose, kissing Alex’s thigh before sighing and walking into the kitchen. “I’m going to run to the store really quick, we’re out of milk for dinner. I’ll be back soon.”
“Aren’t you going to put something on?” Alex asked, rolling over as Kelly headed for the door.
“Nah. It’s only like half a block.” Kelly sighed, scooping up her purse and smiling. “Want anything?”
Alex frowned. It felt like she was forgetting something, like she should remind Kelly to… do something? She had her purse… her money, her phone… what else could she need? She sighed and smiled.
“I’m alright, thanks. Come back quick… I’m in the mood for round two.”
“Hmm, if that’s on the table, I’ll be back as fast as possible.” Kelly grinned, planting her hands on her bare hips, the simple motion sending her breasts bobbing delightfully. Alex admired the wiggling of Kelly’s plump brown cheeks as she walked to the door and disappeared, rolling onto her back and letting out a breath of satisfaction.
She lay in peace and slid a hand down to her well-tended cunt, cooing as the still-sensitive petals pulsed under her touch, it was minutes before the blissful haze of orgasm faded and realisation suddenly dawned.
“I’m back.”
Alex sat up and pursed her lips uncertainly. “Hey… Kelly?”
“Yeah?”
“Did… you just go to the store nude?”
Kelly glanced down at herself and shrugged. “Guess so… didn’t really notice.”
“Did you run into any problems?”
“No one really payed me any notice.” Kelly said casually putting the milk in the fridge and humming to herself. “It’s not a big deal, it’s just my body. There were a bunch of other people out there naked too… no one seems to care about being naked anymore.”
“There’s something affecting people, making them go outside naked, making them have sex in public… we’ve got to be careful.”
“Why?”
Alex frowned; she hadn’t actually thought of that.
“I… don’t know.” She admitted, “It’s embarrassing I guess.”
“You’re too cute.” Kelly purred, sauntering closer and sitting in her lap. “Now… are we finished talking? Because I’ve got a vibrator with your name on it.”
“I’m done.” Alex grinned immediately, earning a laugh from Kelly as she pushed Alex onto her back and kissed her deeply.
By the time morning came, Alex awoke a new woman. She sighed happily and disentangled herself from Kelly’s dark arms, walking to the window and smiling down at the city. She didn’t worry about anyone seeing her standing fully naked just above the street. In fact, she wouldn’t worry about being naked ever again, not as she got her things together, not as she left Kelly with a chaste kiss to the cheek, not as she made her way through the warm National City streets to the DEO.
Myriad’s effects were taking hold, soon the world would share Alex’s ignorant bliss and Hope’s new utopia would be born.
