Wonder Woman: The D-Day Trap The German defenders of the channel coastline were on high alert as they had been for nearly a month. All of them knew that the Allied invasion of Western Europe was imminent. Just across the waters in England the Americans and the British were gathering thousands of men, scores of tanks, and enough aircraft to block the sun. Every German soldier was on edge waiting for the showdown. So that's why they would have been horrified to learn that their security was being breached this night. Wonder Woman sat in her invisible plane crossing into occupied France under the cover of darkness. The darkness and her special plane allowed Wonder Woman to sneak in without raising any alert among the Germans below. Diana was heading into France at the request of the Allied High Command the mission they sent her on was of critical importance to the war effort. There was also a personal reason for the Amazon Princess to take on the mission, a good friend of hers was in trouble. Major Steve Trevor had gone into Occupied France just a few weeks earlier. The American officer was laying the groundwork for the pending invasion with the French Resistance. However Trevor had missed the last radio check and London was getting worried. If Trevor had been captured he could reveal details about the pending D-Day operation, putting thousands of Allied lives at risk, not to mention the outcome of the war itself. General Eisenhower had personally asked for Wonder Woman's help in locating Major Trevor. Even with the weight of the war now resting on her shoulders, Diana couldn't help but feel more worried about Steve. No telling what those Nazi thugs are doing to him if he's been captured, Wonder Woman worried. She shook head to get focused as the plane began to descend for landing. Once the plane was down in an isolated field Diana hopped out of the cockpit and checked her surroundings. Standing outside the jet Wonder Woman's tiara glinted in the moonlight. As always Wonder Woman looked amazing in her patriotic costume; red and gold bustier, star spangled briefs, golden belt of strength, the lasso of the truth, the bullet deflecting bracelets, legs dressed in hosiery, and her boots. Wonder Woman knew that Steve had been last spotted heading for a meet outside the town of St. Claire's. It didn't take long for Diana to reach the town. As with most small villages in this part of France, the town was locked down under a curfew. Wonder Woman carefully avoided the German patrols heading to the farmhouse Steve should have met his contact at. Diana knew Steve had to be in trouble by time she got there. Patrolling the outside of the farm were more German soldiers. It looked like a fight had occurred there as well, with bullet holes in the barn, and surrounding trees. Going for the direct approach Wonder Woman took on the guards. They were surprised to say the least but trying to fight back against Diana was pointless. With her Amazon strength she tossed them aside like ragdolls. A bullet fired by a German rifle bounced off her bracelet. Dropping her hand to the lasso, Diana threw the golden lariat around the soldier's weapon yanking it out of his hands. It took only a minute but when it was over there were a pile of German troops lying unconscious on the ground in front of the barn, except for one. A lieutenant the young man was wrapped up in the golden lasso which Wonder Woman held with a tight grip. Giving the lasso a yank she demanded, "Now tell me where is Agent Trevor?" "He's ... .uhhh ... " the proud German officer tried to resist but as all caught in the lasso's threads, couldn't fight it's power, "He's been brought to the old manor house two kilometers north of here." Wonder Woman nodded untying the lasso, "Thank you lieutenant." She politely knocked him out with an Amazon blow to his neck, it was painless. Once she had her lasso back at her waist Wonder Woman sprinted off to save Major Trevor. Unknown to the Amazon a dark clad figure watched her from the trees. Lowering binoculars the watcher raised a radio to their lips, "She's on her way Oberst." In the manor house a blonde woman acknowledge the report with a smile, "Excellent, come back to base." After receiving the report from her operative, the colonel in charge of the operation looked out the nearest window. Her image was reflected in the glass, a lovely and athletic blonde, wearing a tight black German uniform jacket. A matching skirt went down to just above her knees. Her legs were dressed in black stockings leading to her boots. With a sinister smile she told the glass, "I have been looking forward to our reckoning for a very long time Wonder Woman." ... ... ... ... ... ... Diana watched the manor house from the safety of a tree line. There were some more guards, the soldiers clad in black marching about in their distinctive fritz helmets. It suggested they were different troops from the ones she fought at the farmhouse. Maybe German intelligence, Diana thought. Wonder Woman now decided to op for stealth she figured that Steve and her would have to fight their way out so no need to make things harder by having to also fight her way in. Carefully Wonder Woman made her way across the grounds to the building. Diana reached a wall which had a balcony located up on the second floor. It was easily reachable with her powerful legs but just as she was going to jump Diana heard a quiet whoosh. Just as she was about to look for the source of the sound there was pin prick on her body. "Ow." Diana hissed, looking for where her skin had been pricked. A turn of her head though showed here she had been pricked, right below her butt. On the backside of her hosed leg right under the star spangled briefs she wore was a dart sticking out. Its needle topped head had pierced her nylon entering the back of Wonder Woman's calf. "Haltz!" Wonder Woman looked up to see a German soldier armed with an odd looking rifle. He was taking aim at her again when Diana went into action. She dashed over knocking the strange metal gun into his face. The blow rendered the German unconscious causing him to drop like a sack of potatoes. Diana reached for the dart just under her bum. She winced pulling it out. Looking at it she saw it had some sort of liquid inside most of which was gone, and its contents pumped into me. Wonder Woman didn't feel anything at the moment so she decided whatever they had shot her with had no effect. Besides my Amazon constitution can handle a tiny amount of whatever drug the Nazi's have cooked up, Diana thought confidently. Feeling no ill effects from the Nazi's odd dart weapon, Diana leaped up to the second story balcony. Landing on her boots Wonder Woman immediately heard, "What are you doing here?" The cry came from a light haired woman sitting in a chair in front of a dresser with a mirror. Diana saw that she was in a state of undress wearing only a black bra with matching black pantyhose over her panties. Wonder Woman was going to tell her not to worry when she saw the jacket with a Nazi armband lying on another chair. This woman was a German! She reached for her desk pulling out another strange looking metal gun. She fired it and Diana raised her wrist expecting a bullet. However the shot was slower than a bullet and as a result Wonder Woman actually missed it! The dart connected with her arm and Diana felt the prick of the needle. She grabbed at the dart tossing it away but more were coming. The German lass got to her stocking feet firing her dart gun quickly. Wonder Woman did a better job deflecting the shots this time but one more slipped pass her defenses, landing on her stomach. Out of darts the stocking clad lady ran for the door, "Guard!" Diana whipped out her lasso throwing it to wrap around the German agent's legs. The lasso wrapped up the lass around her ankles. The light haired lass fell to the ground smacking her head on the edge of a chair as she did so. She moaned for a moment before slipping into unconsciousness. Wonder Woman went over to make sure the woman was okay. As she did so Diana pulled the latest dart out. Satisfied the woman was alright, Diana moved to the door after gathering her lasso. Right when she reached the door though Wonder Woman felt a little lightheaded. Putting a hand against the door she rested for a moment trying to clear her head, got hit with more of those darts, not feeling too bad still have my strength but I've got to be more careful. Wonder Woman composed herself opening the door to see if there was a guard coming to the woman's rescue. With none in sight Diana moved down the hallway listening for anymore German soldiers. Eventually she reached a center staircase. From the second floor she could see into a wide hall where two German soldiers were talking. Wonder Woman waited for a little bit eventually being rewarded with one of the guards walking away. Deciding to take a chance, Diana undid her lasso and threw it down to rope herself a German trooper. So caught by surprise he didn't even get a chance to shout. Diana pulled him up onto the second floor and then into a room. Here the German soldier struggled to reach for his rifle. Wonder Woman was about to order him to remain still with the lasso when he fired off a bunch of shots. Diana winced as several darts struck her hosed leg. "Ugh." She hissed yanking on the lasso and commanding, "Sleep!" The German soldier dropped to the ground out cold. Wonder Woman meanwhile yanked darts out of her leg. By Hera's will if I get hit one more time by these ... these ... darts, but Diana's frustration was interrupted by a tingle of weakness coming over her body. Wonder Woman stumbled a bit in her walk as she leaned against a wall for support. With her back to it she closed her eyes trying to recover. "Hera ... just give me some strength ... " she muttered cursing her own foolishness. After a moment of rest Diana felt stronger. Wonder Woman collected her lasso again and continued on her search for Major Trevor. Eventually she saw there was a heavily guarded double door around a corner further down the hallway. After a careful peak Wonder Woman saw the two German guards standing at the door with those damned dart guns. Not wanting to get hit with anymore of the darts, Diana reached for her tiara. The two guards were looking down the hallway when a spinning object rounded the corner and struck the first in the helmet. The blow knocked him out and the second guard was right behind the first. Wonder Woman stepped into view catching her boomeranging tiara as they two passed out on the ground. "Hold on Steve here I come." Wonder Woman told the doors. Taking hold of the handles she pushed the door opened expecting to see a captive Steve Trevor. Instead she was granted the sight of someone who she never expected, "Fausta!" The blonde woman turned a smile on her face as she admired the sight of the surprised Wonder Woman, "Greetings Wonder Woman, thank you for walking right into my trap." A mix of German women dressed like Fausta came out holding dart weapons. Wonder Woman eyed them all she raised her arms but felt woozy. The blonde German spy grinned sinisterly at the sight of the sluggish superheroine, "Feeling a little run down Wonder Woman? Maybe you should have been more careful with my troops." "What are you ... talking about Fausta?" Wonder Woman's vision blurred as she stood her arms wavering a moment before they resumed their ready position. Fausta could see Wonder Woman wavering, my trap has worked! Striding forwards she placed her hands on her hips showing off her confidence, "You've been dosed with a slow acting tranquilizer Wonder Woman. You see initially there are no effects but as time passes the feelings of weakness, fatigue, and disorientation grow, especially when you've been hit numerous times by the darts." Wonder Woman shook her head feeling all the effects Fausta just told her back. Sighing she put a hand to her head as her booted feet stumbled. Diana's hosed legs felt weak and rubbery. The Germans all smiled seeing that their leader's plan had worked. Wonder Woman meanwhile looked to Fausta her face twisted in confusion, "But ... you pledged to help ... the Allied cause ... " Fausta laughed, "A ploy for your benefit Wonder Woman. I would never betray the Reich and now I have the means to save it in my hands." Wonder Woman dropped to a knee feeling even weaker now, " ... I'll never help you ... .nor will you gain ... my powers." "I don't need you or your powers Wonder Woman, at least not at the moment." Fausta stepped closer now standing over the weakening Wonder Woman. She knelt next to Diana her hand reaching for Wonder Woman's waist, "I just need your lasso." Summoning her strength Wonder Woman shoved Fausta away causing the blonde spy to fall on her derriere. Looking up at Wonder Woman with a sneer she ordered, "Fire!" The women raised their dart guns firing with wisps of compressed air. Wonder Woman raised her arms trying to block the incoming tranquilizer darts, but her strength was severely drained. She managed to reflect some of the incoming projectiles but most began to land on her. Two impacted her pantyhosed thigh, another landing squarely on her chest, more struck her arms as she tried to block the shots. Diana stumbled back the new impacts causing her fatigue to become stronger. Fausta raised a hand signaling her people to stop firing. The German spy mistress smiled as she watched Wonder Woman, no need to hit her with anymore darts, Wonder Woman is my prisoner. Diana slumped against the wall her strength gone. Rolling onto her back the mighty superheroine slowly slid down to her butt. Wonder Woman's long hosed legs spread out from her body as her arms landed limply at her sides. Slowly moving her head back and forth Diana felt so weak. Fausta came over enjoying the sight of the now helpless heroine. Placing a boot on Wonder Woman's chest Fausta announced, "Sleep Wonder Woman, dream about your defeat, because once again I have completely defeated you." Wonder Woman couldn't hear her as her head came to rest on her left shoulder. Diana's lips sighed as the power of the drugs claimed her conscious mind. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. Wonder Woman groaned as she came too. Diana was lying flat on her back. She felt cold metal against her skin as feeling began to return to her limbs. Something was pinning her to the table, made of leather lying over her stomach, arms, and legs. A quick pull of her wrists revealed these too were secured. Wonder Woman thought they might be in some leather restraints based on the feelings from her wrists. As her vision cleared Diana saw bright lights shining down on her face. What happened ... .last thing I remember ... .Fausta ... .oh no, Diana realized. She had been captured by the blonde beauty once more. Immediately she tried to struggle but her efforts were wasted. She was securely bound. "Don't bother, your body is strapped down tight Wunder Woman." The voice was that of a woman's, heavy with a German accent suggesting English wasn't her first language. Wonder Woman ceased her struggled both for this reason and another, she was feeling awful weak. "Let's give Wonder Woman a better view shall we doctor?" Wonder Woman recognized that voice, it was Fausta's. There was a whirl of mechanical parts and the table Diana was resting on pitched forwards. She saw that she was in a bare concrete bunker adorned with a single Nazi flag. Standing at some controls was a German woman with blonde hair and black glasses, a white lab coat worn over her black uniform and tights. Fausta was there too looking smug her hands once more on her hips, "Well isn't this familiar Wonder Woman." The heroine looked down at her restraints. She was secured by thick leather straps pulled across her body. Diana was able to now see why she still felt so weak; her belt of strength was gone. Fausta walked closer and put her had on Diana's waist, "Yes as you remember I know your weakness my dear. Your belt is secure and well out of reach, I won't be letting anyone ruin my plans this time!" "And what plans are those?" Wonder Woman asked trying to stay defiant even though she was captured. Fausta happy to explain her master plan began, "To use your lasso to gain the intelligence Berlin needs to stop the Allied invasion in its tracks. We in fact don't have Major Trevor in custody, I had hoped to capture him but he evaded my troops. Luckily though, you and the Allied command proved to be so predictable. I knew you would come to rescue your precious Major Trevor and deliver the ultimate intelligence tool into my hands." Diana saw Fausta reveal the golden lasso showing it off, "With this we will be able to force any Allied agent we capture to tell us all of their secrets. We will know where to meet your invasion force and crush it under the treads of our mighty Panzers. Once we've defeated the Americans and Englanders, we can deal with the Soviets." "You'll never defeat the Allies Fausta!" Diana confidently told her, "I won't let the tools of my people be used for your war of conquest." "You don't have much choice Wonder Woman." Fausta sneered, leaning up to look Wonder Woman in the eyes, "I've captured you, stripped you of your power, and I have your lasso. Soon my scientists will learn all your Amazon secrets so that we can also use your powers against our enemies." Fausta had dreams of an army of Valkyries who she would of course lead into battle. Wonder Woman pulled on her restraints, she had to escape. Fausta shook her head turning back to her scientist, "Heidi help Wonder Woman relax." "Of course Oberst." The German woman smiled using the German word for colonel. She placed a bottle of chloroform on the table and produced a rag to soak it in. Diana watched helplessly as the mad scientist soaked the rag with the soporific. She caused the table to tilt back so that Wonder Woman was staring at the ceiling again. Once she had the table in place and prepared the sleepy cloth the Nazi strolled over. Fausta looked on ready to enjoy the show. "You'll never get away with this!" Wonder Woman exclaimed. "Yes we shall Wonder Woman, thank you again for helping the Third Reich achieve victory!" Fausta taunted. The blonde scientist smiled with glee as she placed the chloroform over Wonder Woman's face. Diana screamed into the cloth. The two Germans watched as Wonder Woman's head twisted or titled trying to get the cloth off her face. But Heidi held the chloroform on with a vice like grip. Diana moaned as her strength began to ebb. It didn't take long for her head to stop moving all over the place. Fausta leaned over the bound Amazon her face smug with victory, "Sleep peacefully Wonder Woman." Diana's eyes, heavy with fatigue looked back at Fausta with concern. She was completely helpless at her captive's hands. Can't ... fight it ... .too weak ... ..must sleep ... .sleep ... ..slee ... ... TBC The French Resistance woman was nervous. Her Allied contact was late and that didn't bode well for him or her. She was supposed to escort him to their communications station but was now wondering if she shouldn't head off herself. Clutching her submachine gun tightly the Frenchwoman was about to leave when she heard in her own language, "Hot Dog." Turning she saw a man approaching, she raised her gun but realized that it was the code words. She was supposed to answer back with the proper code response. Which the fighter realized she needed to do so before the stranger decided to fire on her, "Nathan's." The approaching figure relaxed lowering what the Frenchwoman now realized was a gun of his, "You scared me there dear." Major Steve Trevor stepped into clear view. He was wearing the clothes of a farmer with a leather jacket and cap, "I take it you're my ticket to a radio." She nodded leading the American who despite his clothing was quite handsome to the young lady. Eventually the two arrived at an underground wine cellar. Steve saw the French had hidden their radio in a large wooden barrel usually used to store wine. Sitting at the British supplied radio he donned a headset and dialing in the frequency for the SOE, "This is Thunderbird, calling Ultimate." "Thunderbird, this is Ultimate you're very late." An annoyed British voice responded over the radio. "Sorry couldn't be helped." Trevor went on to explain the reason for his disappearance. Heavy German patrols actively hunting for resistance members had forced him and his group to go to ground. The British intelligence officer on the end answered back with concern. "Thunderbird we thought you were captured. In fact we sent in your friend to find you." Trevor was confused, "My friend?" "Your lady friend." The radio said with a hint of emphasis. Then it dawned on Trevor, Wonder Woman, "so the Angel is in town. Funny I haven't seen her." "That's what's got us worried. She was supposed to contact us if she had found you or not by this time. The bosses got worried, real worried." The British SOE man responded. "Where's her last known position. I want to go looking for her." Trevor wanted to find Wonder Woman because she had saved his butt more times than he could count. Not to mention she was a pretty lady one who the major had hopes of becoming more than friends with. "Well you're a little late on that front, the bosses have sent in the cavalry as your Yanks would put it." Trevor furrowed his eyebrows wondering who London was sending in, "Who Rangers, SAS?" "No." the British officer's distain was felt through the radio link, "Another 'Angel' as you'd put it." Trevor thought about it for a minute and then smiled, "When and where?" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... . The C-47 transport rocked as more German flak shells exploded around them. Two pilots one male and the other female were carefully guiding the plane through the German defenses trying to avoid the worst of it. The plane wasn't marked with the standard Allied colors but in fact painted dark blue. A symbol on the side of the hull showed who the plane belonged too, an Allied star with an eagle over it. Only a handful of officers knew what that symbol represented. The OSP, Office of Strategic Projects, a secret group established by the Western Allies to develop new weapons, technology, and even abilities for against the Axis. Designed to counter German research into similar areas the program had a few successes but none more so than who the plane was carrying. Captain Helen Rodgers yelled back as she and Lt. Michael Williams struggled to avoid being shot down, "Hey Sam just take your sweet time getting ready back there!" The British copilot focused on the sky in front of them but still managed to add, "Now Captain Rodgers, you should know as lady one does not rush them in their preparations for a night out." "Balls." Helen answered in her usual unlady like manner, "We're going to get an 88 up the skirt because ... " she turned her head back to needle her friend again, "Somebody can't get a parachute on quickly!" A blonde haired woman in the back was just at that moment putting some goggles on over her eyes, "You know Helen you're welcome to switch places. Jump into occupied France, get shot at by Nazis, fight your way into a stronghold, rescue Wonder Woman, and then escape back to England." Helen thought about it for a moment as if she was seriously considering it, "Nah, I'll just fly the plane, the heroics I leave to you Sam." Samantha Collins laughed feeling some of the stress of the upcoming mission easing off. A little livery before an op tended to relax her nerves. She had been doing things like this for at least two years now but it still scared her a little bit. She had her chute on, standing by the open door watching as German tracers lanced up at them wind whipping at her hair. With a shout she yelled, "Ready!" Michael checked their position quickly proving his worth as a navigator, they were right over the target, "Right, we're over the drop zone!" A green light flashed on confirming what he had already told her. Sam yelled as she leapt out of the airplane, "Geronimo!" The yell caused Helen to roll her eyes as the aircraft turned away from the gunfire finally, "Showoff." ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... . The German sentry was checking the perimeter around the farmhouse where his unit was camped. An aircraft had overflown the area receiving the attention of the anti-aircraft batteries stationed in the countryside. Absentmindedly he wondered if the flak gunners had hit anything. In any case his commander wanted the area checked for Allied paratroopers or commandos. He didn't expect to find anything as most of the anti-aircraft fire was to their east. So he was just casually moving through the woods at the edge of the farm. He shined a flashlight around and was barely paying attention. A swipe of the light caught the glint of something. Intrigued he shined it back to the spot and his eyes widened upon finding what it was. It was a woman, bent over putting something away. She was dressed strangely, with flesh tone tights similar to the ones dancers or showgirls wore, blue boots topped with white, a star spangled bottom, and what had originally reflected off his light a golden belt. The woman turned to face him. Her star spangled attire was actually a leotard that also had red gloves and a red/white stripped section on top. Her clothes looked like an American flag. The girl had shoulder length blonde hair with a lovely face which was hidden partly under a red and blue mask. "Sorry was just burying my chute, you snuck up on me there." The woman said without any real concern. "Watz? Haltz!" the German soldier went for his shouldered rifle, trying to unsling it. "Yeah don't think so ... " the woman said. She dashed forwards with amazing speed slamming a punch stronger than the young man had ever experienced from a woman. He coughed deeply as he tumbled over the air nearly knocked out of him. The American woman pushed him to the ground but snatched his rifle up first. He watched as she snapped the rifle in half with little effort. Scared now, he felt her foot press down on his chest, showing off her long and strong hosed leg. In pitch perfect German she asked, "Now be a dear and tell me where that special German unit is?" "Who are you ... " he asked back in his native tongue. She smiled answering back in the same language, "I'm Miss America and you are going to tell me where Wonder Woman is." ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. Wonder Woman groaned as the Heidi held her arm. There was a brief prick of pain as the blonde scientist was working on taking a blood sample from the Amazon with a syringe. Diana had been fighting as best she could but she was restrained. Also the Nazi scientist would simply give her some more chloroform to keep her weak. It had occurred several times thus far leaving Diana without even her regular strength. Heidi smirked as she filled the syringe with some of Diana's blood, "Not much more Wunder Woman." "You'll ... gain nothing from my blood." Diana tried to bluff. Heidi was no fool though, "Ha! You lie poorly Amazon. I have a chance now to study your blood and see how it is different from ours as well. Once I understand these differences I can duplicate your precious powers." The thought of Nazis with Amazon strength caused Diana to shudder, "Never ... ." Heidi frowned, "hmmm maybe my test subject needs some rest." Wonder Woman weakly fought her leather restraints but could offer no resistance as the mad scientist came close. Once more she held a cloth soaked with chloroform in hand. Diana suspected the German was getting a kick out of delivering these repeated knockouts. Heidi grinned as her hand pressed the cloth against Wonder Woman's face not doing much to disprove Wonder Woman's theory. Diana mumbled into the cloth her eyes quickly became heavy with sleep. She would have passed out then and there but Fausta arrived. "Report!", she snapped to the scientist. Heidi was forced to pull the cloth away, holding it in her hands like she had been caught sneaking into the cookie jar, "Oberst, I've completed my first tests. I've also taken samples from the Amazon despite her resistance." Fausta spotted the chloroform cloth and smiled, "I can see that." She looked over the fabulous form of Wonder Woman, who was semi conscious as she laid on the lab table, "Here let me." Heidi, a small hint of disappointment on her face, handed the cloth to her boss. Fausta took the cloth and held it for the partly unconscious Wonder Woman to see. Diana looked up with weak eyes at Fausta, "Please ... Fausta ... .you once ... pledged to help me ... " "I'll help you Wonder Woman." She said seriously for a moment before laughing sinisterly, "Help you sleep!" Wonder Woman groaned as the cloth returned her nose and mouth breathing in the sweet sickening fumes. Fausta laughed as she had Wonder Woman completely at her mercy. Her defeat at the heroine's hands before had caused grief for Fausta. It had taken her awhile to build up her power within Germany again. Now she wanted to repay the superheroine back. Heidi too watched with anticipation. She was very excited by the sight of her leader knocking out the Amazon Princess. Wonder Woman sighed as her strength was once again suppressed by the chemical. Fausta held the cloth in place even after Wonder Woman's eyes shut and her head titled to the side. With a sneer she pulled it away tossing the cloth back Heidi. "If you are done with her place her in the special cage." Fausta ordered. "Of course Obrest!" Heidi waited till Fausta had stepped out of her lab before she went over and gently ran a hand down Wonder Woman's body, "It will be a pleasure my colonel." ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Samantha peered through the trees to observe the French manor house where according to the German she had been talking too, where Wonder Woman was being held. Well, in fairness where that 'special unit' was located, she thought. However the U.S. Army officer had no illusions that the arrival of a hush hush German unit and the disappearance of Wonder Woman weren't connected. The blonde stood up having taken a knee to observe the manor. Sam had no need for binoculars thanks to her enhanced vision, letting her see far objects in almost crisp clear quality. Done scoping out the area with her 'eagle eyes' the superheroine began her approach to the building. As she moved through the fields around the house Sam looked at her brightly colored costume. She did like the patriotic clothes, almost as if she was wrapped up in the flag, a symbol of American justice, but it wasn't the best for sneaking around. Two German soldiers clad in black battle dress carrying rifles were on patrol and spotted the colored blur of her moving. They called out in confusion forcing Miss America to mumble, "Well so much for stealth." Samantha dashed towards them with speed that Jessie Owens would envy. The Germans yelled raising their rifles which then cracked with gunshots. Miss American smiled as she leaped into the air the bullets smacking into the ground where she had been. The enemy soldiers tried to adjust their aim but Sam crashed into one of them feet first. Knocking the soldier to his back the German had the wind knocked out of him. Miss America grabbed the other's rifle while he was distracted. Yanking it out of his hands Sam smashed the gun over her hosed knee. Her opponent tried to engage in hand to hand combat with her. Miss America smiled as she easily dodged his punches. Eventually she got tired of playing with the guy so Sam ducked under his next punch and then slammed one of her own into his jaw. The solider cried out as the blow knocked him out. The other trooper she had landed on was trying to get up. A swift kick across his chin sent the German into dreamland. Shouts were coming from the other troops outside the building, they were rushing towards her. Samantha shook her head, "Well I do like some good PT." With that the superheroine moved to take on the Germans. ................. Fausta walked into her command post demanding to know what was going on. The alarm had been sounded and a report of Americans attacking. She had left the transfer of Wonder Woman to Heidi who probably relished the chance to hold the captured Amazon close. One of her officers handed her some binoculars as Heidi came into the room. Placing them to her eyes Fausta looked out across the field to see a brightly colored woman taking apart her perimeter troops. It took a moment for the blonde agent to identity the figure having only seen her picture before in intelligence reports, "Miss America." "She must be here to rescue Wonder Woman!" Heidi sad excitedly observing the blonde maiden fighting against their troops. "Indeed..." Fausta was already thinking. Looking back to her scientist she asked, "Are the security arrangements for Wonder Woman in place?" Heidi nodded, "Of course mien Oberst, I prepped them myself." Fausta grinned, "Then we may be able to double our gains. Instruct the guard force, resist but let the Ami into the cell area." Her officers went to carry out her orders wondering what she had planned. Putting her binoculars back to her eyes the woman watched as another Fraulein fought with her special gifts. With a grin Fausta spoke to herself, "Enjoy yourself now Ami, because soon you will be mine." ................ Sam brought her knee violently against the face of another German guard, knocking the man aside as the blow put him out. Miss America had craved her way through the guards knocking them aside. Her power set while not near what Wonder Woman possessed was still impressive. She had enhanced strength, enough to break most metals along with lifting several tons above her head. Sam's speed was increased as well allowing her to run nearly seventy miles per hour. As she moved inside the lower levels of the manor house Miss America rubbed her shoulder. It was a little sore but soon enough her enhanced healing would take care of her aches and pains. As she stepped onto the cellar floor the lights overhead cut off. Samantha froze for a moment, seemingly caught off guard by the light change. Four German soldiers closed in ready to get the jump on her. "You know I can see in the dark right?" Miss America smirked. They were thrown off first by her comment and the fact she spoke German. Sam didn't give them long to wait as she dashed to nearest German grabbing his gun. It didn't fire a gunshot but a whoosh of air. Darts, Miss America thought as she took the gun and bashed a nearby soldier with it. One of the guards came from behind her wrapping his strong arms around her upper body and arms. He laughed, she did too, "Nice try buddy." Miss America pushed her arms out breaking the soldier's grip. As he stumbled back, Sam turned and kicked the guy in the chest sending the soldier crashing against the stone wall. The three other soldiers tried to rush her after watching their buddy get kicked away. Miss America jumped up grabbing a supporting beam that was part of the ceiling. Tucking her legs in she waited for the three Germans to come at her. When they were in range Sam swung forwards and then slammed her boots into them. The blow knocked the three guys down with two of them being stunned. The last was slow to get up and Miss America snap kicked him the face. The other two soldiers she knocked out with quick punches. With the guards down Sam moved deeper into the cellar. A solid reinforced door was blocking her way, "Must be the place." Miss America pushed against the door with her strength. The hinges cracked and snapped as Sam pushed through sending the door to the floor. The room was made of bare concrete with the only items of note being a white light hanging from the ceiling, and Wonder Woman lying back on hospital like gurney. Concerned Sam dashed over and touched Wonder Woman on the shoulder, "Wonder Woman...Wonder Woman, wake up." Diana heard someone speaking to her, lightly touching her, it caused her to stir. Slowly her head moved and eyes opened. A lovely figure was above her and at first Wonder Woman mistook the blonde hair for someone else, "Get...get away from...me." Weakly Wonder Woman tried to push Miss America away. Sam gently to her hands and put them on the Amazon's stomach, "Wonder Woman, its Miss America I'm an American Army officer, here to rescue you." "Miss..America..." the name was familiar. Then it came to her, Miss America a superheroine who had been appearing off and on for the last few years, "You're here to...rescue me?" "That's right, how are you feeling?" Samantha asked the other heroine helping the Amazon sit up. Wonder Woman slowly moved into a sitting position guided by her patriotic colored counterpart. A hand over her forehead she looked sluggish and Sam could tell she wasn't doing well, "We...can't leave...not tilll....I get my..." "Get what?" Miss America inquired. Wonder Woman was about to tell her when Miss America heard something mechanical starting up. The cranking and grinding of gears caused Sam to turn her head towards the source of the sound. The door she had just knocked down was being replaced by blue-steel colored bars. Sam cursed and headed over to the bars grabbing them. Pulling with her strength Samantha was shocked to find that the bars weren't bulging, "Crap." Diana saw the metal, "Some...sort of...reinforced...or specially made metal....probably meant for me." "Of course...." Miss America muttered. She pulled on the bars willing her arms to break the metal as they had countless times before but never with anything this strong. Wonder Woman tried to move to help or do something but that's when she saw something coming down from the ceiling. Her eyes widened, "Miss America!" Sam glanced back as she caught the first signs of white gas drifting down, "Crap." She pulled at the bars with renewed vigor, straining her muscles. Wonder Woman got the first whiff of the gas which caused Diana to cough. Diana felt terrible not just from the gas but the fact that she couldn't help them escape. Now Miss America was going to be trapped as well. Samantha could hear Wonder Woman's coughs meaning she didn't have long. Miss America put a boot against the bars and pushed with her strong leg muscles. The white gas though arrived and she coughed as it began to effect her. Wonder Woman slumped off the bed falling to her knees. Her eyes closed slowly as the Amazon slipped off the bed falling to her side. Miss America backed away from the bars, too weak now to try and break them. Putting a hand against the wall Samantha struggled to stay upright. Just like the Amazon Princess, Miss America had no resistance to drugs other than it too strong ones to knock her out. The gas trap had been built to contain Wonder Woman so it would surely defeat her as well. With a sigh the blonde bombshell fell to the ground landing face down. Weakly Sam pushed up on her arms trying to stay awake. Finally as the white gas filled the cell down to the floor she collapsed into her arms. A long drawn out sigh left Miss America's body as she passed out. The white gas lingered for a bit to ensure that the two superheroines stayed out. A few more minutes passed before a fan whirred to life. It sucked out the white gas leaving the two superheroines out cold on the ground. Boots tapped on the ground as Heidi, some guards, and Fausta came to the cell. The heavy metal bars rose upon a command from a remote control. The blonde German colonel smiled as she stepped inside, complimenting her scientist, "Excellent work Heidi, the new metal worked as you promised." "It exceeded my expectations!" Heidi said excitedly. She was actually more enamored with the two sleeping superheroines. Now she had another heroine to examine. Fausta walked over to Miss America, using her feet she rolled the heroine onto her back. Kneeling down she touched the blonde girl's mask. It didn't come immediately off but that didn't bother her. She would have time to learn more about this American heroine soon enough. She stood back up looking to her people, "Take them to Heidi's lab and bring Wonder Woman's lasso." She looked back to Miss America, "It's time to learn this Ami's secrets." TBC The sound of someone speaking to her brought Sam back around from her slumber. Sam started to open her eyes and take in her surroundings but was rewarded with a blurry field of vision at first. Eventually her eyesight cleared and Sam saw she was slumped over in a chair staring at her hosed legs. At the moment though it felt like she had no strength left to lift her head. An effort to pick up her blonde covered mane resulted in her head titling up a few inches before settling back down. A soft sigh left Sam's pretty lips as her strength felt quite drained. So she settled on resting, trying to recover from whatever the Germans had gassed her with. As feeling returned to her form, Miss America saw the Nazis had done their best to make her accommodations 'nice and comfortable'. Black chains were wrapped around her legs keeping them pressed together. More steel wrapped around her chest and arms, with Sam's wrists being bound in her lap, chains coiled around them. Gradually more of her strength returned and Sam was able to lift her head up. As she did this, the superheroine saw her captor standing before her. "Good morning Miss America." Fausta told her newest captive. They were in a second story room inside the manor house. She could have interrogated the newly captured heroine in Heidi's lab but Fausta preferred her comforts. Sam looked defiantly back at the German, "Fausta, I've read your file. Funny I thought you'd be taller." The spy laughed, "American humor, I've always enjoyed it." "Well when your with the humorless lot that's the Nazis, you guys are probably starved for some comic relief." Miss America shot back. She wasn't going to be intimated by this athlete turned spy. "Quip all you like my dear but as you can see you are not in much of a position to argue." She moved aside to show Sam the secured form of Wonder Woman. The Amazon Princess looked at Miss America with a neutral face. Much like Sam she was chained in a chair but when Fausta focused on her Wonder Woman's neutral face switched to one of defiance. Fausta however could care less, she had both Wonder Woman and Miss America helpless. Her pleasure at all this showed as she spoke with an air of arrogance, taking the time to get in some more gloating, "Your rescue of Wonder Woman has ended in failure and soon I will know your secrets as I know hers." "I'm not going to talk Fausta." Miss America told her captor. Wonder Woman's face broke for a moment clearly wanting to say something to Sam but didn't speak. Fausta revealed something as she spoke, her hands having been hidden behind her back, now bringing them to the front "I suspect you have military training to resist interrogation Miss America but any training or ability you have to resist my questions is mute." Sam saw she was holding a golden rope and Miss America put it together her eyes widening a bit, "That's right its Wonder Woman's lasso." Sam struggled against her chains but she was still too weak to break them. Fausta enjoyed the sight of the struggling heroine as she placed the lasso around Miss America's shoulders and pulled it tight. Miss America let out a quiet gasp as the power of the lasso washed over her, a tingling feeling that went down from her spine to her toes. Fausta holding the other end of the lasso leaned in and said, "Now let's learn about those powers of yours." ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... . Steve had gotten worried when Miss America and Wonder Woman hadn't showed up at the meeting point. He gave them an hour, then two, but by the third was going crazy. He had radioed for instructions from London but they had given him the expected response, wait for orders don't do anything. Trevor though wasn't a man who was accustomed to sitting around. It was one of the reasons he got into so much trouble, which thankfully Wonder Woman bailed him out when needed. It was time he paid her back. After some talking with his French Resistance comrades it was decided to take some action. The French were interested in getting back at the Germans. The moving in of the special unit had disrupted their activities and killed some of their comrades. Steve of course wanted to make sure Wonder Woman and Miss America weren't left to the tender mercies of the Nazis. They had managed to get ten people with him including the lady who had met him earlier that night. Armed with some light weapons, the heaviest of which being one machine gun, they set out for the manor house. About an hour later they were camped out along the edge of the trees around the manor house watching the Germans. The guard numbers were down, maybe twenty guys. Steve figured there wouldn't be a better chance to strike. As his French counterpart got his people ready Steve settled down into a spot next to the woman he met earlier. She was lying in the ground next to him holding a German submachine gun in her hands he could tell she looked nervous. Putting a hand on her shoulder Steve told her, "Don't worry, just keep your eyes open, and everything will be fine." The woman smiled feeling reassured just as the Resistance leader came over and told Trevor, "We are ready." "Then let's go." ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... . "What is your name?" The question was mundane enough but still Sam tried everything she could think of to not answer it. It was pointless though as the power of the mystical lasso worked on her just as it worked on everyone who was bound in it. She spoke, "Samantha Collins." "Are you an officer of the U.S. military?" Fausta asked next her voice dripping with evil glee as she made Miss America talk. "Yes, a Captain in the U.S. Army." Sam answered her eyes pained as she tried not to speak. "Excellent, it's so much easier when one has this." Fausta remarked as she played with the lasso. Sam wanted to spit at her but found her resistance subdued. Wonder Woman sat disgusted as her Goddess gifted tool was being misused. Unable to hold her tongue anymore she snapped, "Enough Fausta, you want to question someone, question me." "All in due time Wonder Woman." Fausta looked back, smiling at the Amazon's helplessness. She turned back to focus on Miss America, "Now let's get to your powers, how did you come to acquire them?" Miss America struggled a moment before answering, "An accident, while I was working at OSP. I was exposed to a chemical solution, to enhance human abilities." "You possess superior strength, speed, and vision a very successful accident then." Fausta noted, "Tell me what do you know about the chemical?" "Nothing." Sam answered growing tired of being forced to spill her secrets. Fausta frowned, "A shame but of course Heidi can start studying you to find out what makes you so special. Tell me your what is your weakness, how can you be rendered helpless, and kept prisoner?" Sam gritted her teeth but the magic of the lasso was too strong, "I...can be knocked out with various sedatives, chloroform for example. Like any mortal woman I'm weakened by these drugs." "Excellent you are as easy to keep prisoner as Wonder Woman." Fausta couldn't help herself having to get another jab in on the Amazon. She pulled the lasso tight now because it was time for the big question. Fausta had no idea if the lasso worked better if she did this but the answer to her next question that must be answered. Looking into Miss America's eyes she demanded, "When are the Allies coming ... ." The cries of gunfire rang out cutting off Fausta's question and she looked towards a window. Flashes of guns were visible in the treeline as her guards were suddenly taken under by the weapons. As she stared out the window, Fausta's grip on the lasso loosened causing the golden rope to slip off her shoulders. Sam sighed in relief at the fact and feeling that she was free of the lasso's truth inducing power. With Fausta distracted by the surprise gun battle outside, Miss America decided to flex her muscles a bit. Sam carefully pulled on her wrists wanting to see if she had recovered enough. Her lips broke into a thin smile as her chains bent slightly, my strength is back! Looking at Wonder Woman Sam blinked. Diana got the hint preparing herself for Miss America's play. Sam looked at Fausta, "Hey you forgot something Fausta." "What?" the blonde asked confused by the question and gunfire. Sam smiled liked a fox, "Out all my powers you forgot one, I heal really fast." With a pull she snapped free of her chains breaking them with ease. As the metal coils fell off her, Sam bounced up to deal with Fausta. The blonde agent didn't flinch at having to take on the superheroine as she tried to hit Miss America throwing a judo chop at the side of her neck. Sam's reflexes were faster as she stopped the blow by grabbing Fausta's wrist. The German struggled but couldn't free herself. Miss America smiled as she released Fausta's wrist and sent the Nazi flying with a shove of her arm. Fausta flew back crashing into a wall. With their captor taken care of, Sam moved to help free Wonder Woman the sounds of battle from outside still echoing. "Who's attacking?" Diana asked as she prepared to move. Miss America shrugged her shoulders as she broke Wonder Woman's chains, snapping them with her hands, "No idea but I'm not complaining, time for us to go." "Not yet." Wonder Woman stood up rubbing her wrists as she worked out the kinks from her prolonged bondage. Diana looked at the crumpled Fausta along the wall, "My belt, it grants me my powers I have to find it." More gunfire and grenades going off were echoing from outside. Miss America looked at Wonder Woman, "Alright while your doing that, I'll try and help out who are hopefully our rescuers." "Stay safe." Wonder Woman told her as Sam headed for the door. Miss America stopped though right before the door and looked to Fausta who was getting up, "What about her?" Diana smiled clearly enjoying what she was complementing, "Leave her to me." Samantha exited the room leaving Wonder Woman with Fausta. Almost immediatelly after leaving the room she encountered guards. However they hadn't expected her to be free and Sam met them with a smile. The crashing sounds of physical combat rang out as Miss America began moving through the second floor taking out the scrambling Germans as she did so. She had knocked aside and out a few dozen guards with not too much trouble and was entering main entrance way. Miss America jumped from the upper balcony and landed on the floor. Almost immediately she was surrounded by Heidi and a quartet of guards. She smiled at Miss America, "Sorry Mizz America you're escape ends here!" With a shout she told the men, "Fire!" They raised their tranquiler guns and Sam didn't wait for them to shoot. With a leap she jumped up into the air on her powerful legs, throwing off their aim. As darts whizzed by she adjusted her fall so that he connected with a Nazi on the way down. Miss America's blow knocked the German flat as she landed. The others whiled around their weapons trying to hit her before she could move again but Samantha was too quick. With a snap of her leg she kicked one of the tranq guns from a guard's hand. The other she grabbed from the man yanking it away and using it to smack another of his pals aside. With a yell the two remaining guards tried to rush Miss America and squeeze her between them. Sam shot out both her arms grabbing them by their uniform jackets. Once she had them in hand, Sam smirked and slammed the two Nazis together. The crack of their helmets together knocked both Germans out. Miss America smiled, another set of goons down. Suddenly she was attacked from behind a white cloth forced over her pretty face. Heidi laughed with evil glee as she grabbed the superheroine, "Sweet dreams Miss America!" The sudden whiff of chloroform caused Samantha to loose her strength and allowed the physically weaker Heidi to get a tight grip on her. Grabbing at the German's arms Miss America couldn't seem to pry the blonde off her. Heidi meanwhile held onto her prize excitement growing as she watched Miss America struggle, that's right Ami, your finished! ............................. Fausta had recovered from her earlier rough handling at the hands of Miss America. She stood across from Wonder Woman who had retrieved her lasso. The Amazon and the Nazi glared at each other with Fausta wondering what Wonder Woman was up too. She didn't have to wait long as the heroine announced, "Its time you and I settled this Fausta." "I believe it is Wonder Woman." Fausta shot back as she actually quite liked the idea, "Last time you bested me with your powers, but right now you don't have them." Wonder Woman answered, "I won't need them Fausta because I'm going to beat you in a straight up match of our strength. Once I win you are becoming my prisoner and you'll be locked away in a POW camp for the rest of the war." "No, it is you who will become my captive Wonder Woman." Fausta declared as she removed her black uniform jacket. Wonder Woman had assumed a fighting stance, "Not a chance." "We shall see!" Fausta yelled as she charged Wonder Woman. The two locked arms and immediately Diana could appreciate the blonde's former reputation as an Olympian. Even without her belt, Fausta could feel the natural strength Wonder Woman had as an Amazon. The two locked together and struggled with one another, each trying to gain an advantage over the other. Eventually it was Fausta who broke the stalemate by getting her leg inside Diana's defenses. With a strong kick she drove her knee into Wonder Woman's gut. It loosened her grip which Fausta used to gain the advantage instantly pushing Wonder Woman against a nearby wall. The Amazon crashed against it with Fausta attacking her by quickly delivering punches. Having pinned the heroine in place Fausta thought with a smile, I am the superior woman, I am the WONDER WOMAN! .......................... Miss America had dropped to a knee. Heidi was still behind her keeping the strength sapping chloroform cloth tight to her face. The German scientist cackled with glee as she continued to bringing the superheroine back under her control. It was a thrill to her, especially at the thought of being able to knock out the mighty Fraulein. Samantha however had no intention of going under. Summoning her remaining strength she pushed back taking Heidi off her feet. Pushing them both back Miss America slammed her attacker into the wall. Heidi groaned as her body impacted the wall the pain from the impact causing her grip on the cloth over Sam's face to lessen. The tiny bit of fresh air gave Miss America enough of a breather to get some strength back. Elbowing Heidi, Miss America broke away and gained some distance turning to face her attacker. Samantha didn't need much time to recover since her healing factor was so high. Just even a few moments away from the cloth would help. Heidi suspected as much and rushed her trying to get the chloroform back in place. Miss America was waiting though and she kicked her in the gut causing the Nazi scientist to fall over. Sam wasn't one to make somebody suffer so she offered a chance to surrender, "It's over, give yourself up!" Heidi was down on her hands and knees facing away from Miss America. She shook her head and replied, "No its time for you to give up American!" She turned and whipped something at Miss America. Due to the minimal distance between the two, Sam had no room to dodge as the object smashed against her chest. It was a bottle which shattered on impact and quickly soaked the front of Miss America's costume with something, "What the hell?" Heidi smirked as Sam brushed some bits of glass off her suit with the heroine wondering what the German was up too. That's when the fumes hit her. Miss America's eyes fluttered as she recognized the scent, "You...tossed a bottle of chloroform...at me?" "Crude but effective." Heidi grinned as she stood back up, "You can't escape those fumes now." She's right...its sapping my strength...short of taking my leotard off...can't escape from it, Miss America's feet became wobbly as she tried to get away from Heidi. The German scientist had picked up her chloroform cloth from earlier and was once more advancing on the superheroine. Her face filled with glee Heidi told Miss America, "Bedtime for you my dear." Sam stumbled to the ground her head feeling so dizzy. Heidi dropped down and possessively straddled her chest. With a cruel smile she shoved the chloroform cloth over the heroine's face. Once again Miss America gasped into the cloth struggling to get it off her nose and lips. Heidi though was now the stronger one easily batting away the heroine's efforts to get off the cloth. Sam meanwhile felt herself growing weaker, she couldn't get the cloth off her, Heidi was keeping her pinned, and there was still no sign of their rescuers. Miss America's eyes were growing heavy in her mask. With each passing movement the heroine's eyes grew closer to being closed. ......................... Diana was pinned against the wall grunting from the pounding Fausta was giving her. The German spy laughed as she slammed some thudding punches into the Amazon's midsection. With the Amazon gasping for air Fausta eased off the blows to seize the Amazon by her shoulders and hold her in place. Fausta smiled wickedly and then headbutted Diana right in the face, dazing her. With her foe stunned Fausta preceded by tossing Wonder Woman to the ground. She fell hard landing on her arms and knees. Before the Amazon could recover Fausta drove her boot into the small of Diana's back. Wonder Woman went flat against the floor and felt Fausta grind her knee into her back, "You see, you are nothing without your belt Wonder Woman!" She grabbed A fist full of Wonder Woman's hair pulling her head back. Fausta slipped her arm around the Amazon's neck and began to squeeze with a tight sleeper hold. Wonder Woman gasped as she grabbed at Fausta's arm, the pressure on her neck cutting off the blood flow to her head. The German agent though wasn't budging her arms locked around Wonder Woman's neck and head. Leaning in she spoke into Diana's ear, "As you were told once before Wonder Woman, sleep peacefully you will soon awaken in the Fatherland...for good this time!" "Never..." Wonder Woman grunted. Summoning her training from home, Diana rolled her body throwing Fausta off balance. They ended up with Fausta thrown onto her back and Diana facing up. The sudden move and crunch from the heroine's weight caused Fausta to grunt and ease her hold. Freed from her opponent's arms Wonder Woman got up and backed away her arms going up into a fighting stance. Annoyed Fausta too got up and prepared for another bout. Diana smiled at Fausta with a smirk, "My sisters and I have been wrestling since I was a kid Fausta, you won't be able to best me." "I'll show you Wonder Woman!" Fausta charged again. Wonder Woman caught the approaching German by her arm and used her own momentum to pull her off balance, Diana shoved her into a nearby wall. Fausta grunted as she hit and soon found herself being attacking by Wonder Woman. The Amazon connected a hard kick to her stomach that doubled the Nazi over. Wonder Woman followed up with a punch to her jaw, however Fausta blocked the punch and performed a Judo chop, striking Wonder Woman against her windpipe with the side of her hand. The Amazon let out a wheezing sound and held her throat while gasping for air. The Nazi swiftly moved behind Wonder Woman and slammed an elbow into her back, right between her shoulder blades. As Wonder Woman grunted in pain Fausta kicked the back of her knee and forced the Amazon to her knees. "Without your powers you can not best me, I am the superior woman." Fausta said mockingly as she looked down at the heroine that had been brought to her knees. Fausta raised her arm for a Judo chop to the side of her neck to knock her out. However at the last moment Wonder Woman raised her arm and blocked the strike. Wonder Woman got back to her feet and connected an elbow strike to the surprised Fausta's stomach, which made her stagger backwards. As Fausta was surprised by this sudden comeback Wonder Woman charged in slamming her fists into the German's gut. Each blow caused Fausta to gasp, she was shocked by how strong Wonder Woman was without her powers. Gasping for air Fausta tried to reply with a palm strike to Wonder Woman's face. Seeing the strike coming Diana caught Fausta's arm and tossed her to the ground with a perfect shoulder throw. She was on the blonde in a moment wrapping her legs around Fausta's neck. The scissor hold clamped tight around Fausta's neck with the blonde's head trapped between Diana's thighs. Shocked at the pressure on her neck, Fausta's hands gripped Diana's legs to try and force Wonder Woman's steel legs apart. Her fingers though just slipped off Wonder Woman's stocking clad thighs. "Now Fausta you should be feeling a little light headed now." Wonder Woman told her trapped foe. She was indeed. The hold was sapping her strength fast and despite all her wiggles, smacks to Wonder Woman's legs, and brute strength she couldn't budge the Amazon's strong legs. Growing weaker she heard Wonder Woman continue, "Now I'll let you out of this if you submit right here and now." "Ne..ver..." Fausta croaked. "Fine then I'll just knock out, of course this move has its dangers. More than one Amazon was injured by this..." Diana told her. Fausta struggled some more but was growing so weak. Her whole body felt num as she found her vision growing blurry. A glance of her eyes showed that Wonder Woman was showing no pity or mercy. For a moment she worried that the Amazon was speaking the truth. Fausta gasped and with regret said, "I...submit!" Wonder Woman nodded and eased her neck scissors. Fausta gasped for fresh breath as well as she laid on her back recovering from the near knock out. As her eyes closed slightly for a moment of rest she was suddenly hauled into a sitting position. Before she could protest Fausta felt Wonder Woman wrapping something around her. With her eyes opened now Fausta realized she was being bound by the Amazon's lasso. The golden threads clinched tightly around her upper body causing Fausta to feel the effects of the lasso. It was as if something had dulled her desire to lie or resist and oddly enough seem to enthuse her with more alertness. Wonder Woman holding the lasso behind Fausta's back asked, "Alright Fausta where is my belt?" Fausta tried to say something defiant or curse out the Amazon but she was forced to answer, "The case...in the desk." Diana nodded, "Stay put." Commanded by the lasso to stay in place, Fausta watched as Wonder Woman walked over to the desk. It didn't take long for Wonder Woman to find her case which held the belt. Opening it Diana removed it and placed it back around her waist. Eyes closed Diana felt the goddess granted strength flow back into her along with removing any aches or sores from her fight with Fausta. Walking back to the bound German the blonde was defiant to the end, "You'll pay for this Wonder Woman I'll escape, you will be my prisoner, your powers will be mine!" "Shut up." Wonder Woman ordered grabbing the tail end of the lasso. Fausta obeyed instantly but still glared at Wonder Woman. Her expression changed though just before Diana's boot connected with her face. ......................... Heidi was straddling Miss America who was almost out. She loved the feel of having the superheroine helpless underneath her. Tightly she kept the chloroform cloth over Miss America's face. Leering at her the blonde told Sam what she'd be doing with her, "Soon you'll be back in my lab. Once there I've got some experiments to run on you. Of course I'll need to slip you into something...less concealing." Samantha couldn't answer as she was almost out. Not wanting her last conscious thoughts for a while to be what the sinister scientist had planned, she let her mind drift to her friends in OSP. In particular a handsome pilot with a nice accent, I know...he's going...to worry. As her eyes began to close suddenly the pressure on her chest lifted and her lips felt cool air not wet cloth. Sam's vision was cloudy so she didn't see anything but heard a series of thuds along with a crash. Resting on her back Miss America had no idea what was going on. Someone knelt next to her then with gentle hands lifted Miss America up into a partial sitting position. They allowed her rest on their leg and Miss America felt her body starting to heal, cleaning out the chloroform from her system. As her strength recovered Sam's vision cleared. The smiling face of Wonder Woman was revealed, "Hey are you doing alright?" "Uhhhh...yeah...just sleeping on the job." Sam joked. Wonder Woman laughed, "I think you earned it." A few more moments passed and Sam's healing factor allowed her to get on both her feet. Wonder Woman provided a shoulder for her to rest on though as they moved out of the room. The sounds of firing outside had tapered off leaving Diana wondering who had prevailed outside, their rescuers or the Germans? Heavy booted footsteps from ahead of them caused Wonder Woman to tense for another fight. However it wasn't a uniform German but a man dressed in workman's coveralls with a leather jacket and hat. He raised his British Sten Gun for a moment but then realized who the two people where in front him. Flashing a smile, and a quick glance at the heroines' long legs he said in french, "Le Resistance." Diana nodded while Samantha sighed with a bit of relief. The three of them exited the manor house finding the remains of a battle outside. Some fallen German troops were mixed with wounded Resistance fighters. Major Trevor ran over happy to see the two heroines, "Wonder Woman, Miss America are you alright?" "Not too bad." Samantha answered. Wonder Woman passed her fellow heroine to the Major who like a gentlemen helped her take a seat. Miss America rested for a bit with each moment feeling more like herself. She also used the moment to wash some of the chloroform remnants on her top off with a donation a of French woman's canteen. Wonder Woman returned with her prisoner, Fausta bound and out cold. Trevor nodded in appreciation, "We could learn quite a few things to help with the invasion from her." Another resistance fighter arrived telling something to Steve he nodded, "He says there's more German troops on the way time for us to go." Miss America got up feeling back to her old self, "Lead the way Major." The Allied troops fell back into the woods heading for the Resistance's safe house leaving the battered manor house behind. A Week Later Captain Samantha Collins was sitting at a London cafe enjoying some coffee. It was only powdered but she wasn't going to complain. The British had been living under the knife of Nazi German for nearly five years and the majority of supplies were going of course to the war effort. However she noticed in her travels around London the Brits walked with a slight spring in the step. The D-Day landings had occurred and the Allied forces were now ashore in France. Sam too felt a little bit happy, while the war was far from over it was now just a little bit closer to the finish line. She returned to her paper reading about the recent Russian summer offensive which would put even more pressure on the Germans. "Excuse me is anyone sitting here?" Sam looked up. A Yeoman was standing by the table, her dark naval uniform matching the thick glasses she wore. Like Sam, her uniform consisted of a jacket, knee length skirt, and a hat although hers was a naval cap as opposed to Sam's OSP soft top. The blonde officer was about to say sure when she realized that there was something familiar about the woman. It's her eyes, Sam thought, I've seen those eyes somewhere before... "You're..." "In need of a seat Captain, please?" the Yeoman asked. Sam remembering that stumbled in her reply, "Of course...take a seat." "Thank you." the woman smiled taking a seat. She held out her hand, "Yeoman Prince, but you can call me Diana." "Samantha, or Sam." the blonde replied. With a slight smile she asked, "What are you doing in London?" "Oh my boss is in town. He is being debriefed, I can't say about what of course." Diana told Sam. She ordered some tea and the two then looked at each other for a moment. They couldn't hold their smiles for long as Sam gave her friend a hug. "So that's how you find out where you're needed." Sam commented with appreciation for Diana's secret identity. "It does help. I apologize for sneaking up on you like that but I did learn your name in our recent adventures." "No problem, but OSP is classified how did you know I'd still be in London?" Sam asked curious. Diana looked over her glasses with a smile, "I have my ways." They laughed and Diana told Sam, "I just wanted to say thank you again for coming to my rescue." "Hey, you did the same for me when that crazy scientist wanted to make me her sleepy plaything." Diana nodded but continued, "Still you are a fine warrior Samantha worthy of the title of Amazon. Maybe when this war is over you could pay a visit to my home." Sam was shocked, "I'm honored." They talked for a few moment minutes exchanging some stories of their adventures. As they talked Sam noticed the approach of Major Trevor. He was back in uniform like themselves approaching the table with a smile, "Diana!" They stood up with Sam saluting a superior officer. Trevor returned the salute but ordered her to relax, "Diana I owe you a dinner at one of London's finer establishments." He then explained for Sam's benefit, "Yeoman Prince here flew all the way out to London at a moment's notice. She's best assistant I've ever had and she deserves a proper meal." Sam nodded, "Well you two enjoy your meal, I'm due at General Patton's headquarters soon. Best not to leave him waiting." They all made their goodbyes with Diana and Trevor walking away down the street. Diana though turned her head one more time and gave Sam a wink, till next time. Samantha smiled and nodded back, right back at ya. The End
