The Cheetah Lives! by Steve Zink Part 2 Little did I know, that one of the most prolific writers of Wonder Woman fan fiction stories lived on the other side of town from me. He, too, had plans to attend the convention, and was going to portray his favorite heroine, Wonder Woman, once again. Dave Gibson had a very small build, and could easily use foundation garments to become an almost normally built female. He used this to his advantage in years past, making ever more detailed Wonder Woman costumes to wear, and stun viewers at parties and conventions with his ability. I had seen photos of Dave's Wonder Woman in magazines and on fan websites, but never knew that the person portraying her lived just down the road from me. For the upcoming comic convention, Dave went through his collection of Wonder Woman costume pieces, picking those which would be put to further use. He had all but the top, which he was going to make even larger this year. Dave called Frederick's of Hollywood to order the largest silicone breast forms they had, which turned out to be 40DD, and a shoulderless Wonder Bra in which to place them. How ironic, he thought after hanging up the phone, getting a Wonder Bra for Wonder Woman! Dave went to work at his sewing machine, crafting the metallic gold and red spandex material into the bustier for his new costume. Frederick's shipped Dave's new breast forms by FedEx, and he was hefting them in his hands only two days after ordering them. The bra, on the other hand, was a more popular item, and was back ordered. It was going to be delivered by the USPS, since there was obviously no high speed delivery being set up. As fate would have it, the package from Frederick's was sitting on the rack at the PS regional sorting center right next to my boots on the day Bill was fired. Dave's Wonder Bra was going to create wonders. With two months remaining before the convention, Dave went about his normal day to day activities, working at an ad firm during the day, and reading, writing and watching TV at night. The magically endowed bra had been packed with the rest of the Wonder Woman costume, working its magic upon the other pieces of the outfit. Dave would be in for a shock once every part of the costume was on. He felt no need to test fit his costume before departing for the convention, since most of it had already been worn in the past. The costume was merely packed away with the rest of Dave's clothes in his luggage, the long black wig being the most carefully packed item. Dave arrived in San Fran on Friday afternoon, and after dropping his bags in the hotel room, he went to the convention hall to scope it out and see what might be new this year. Row upon row of dealers selling older comics were already in place, and Dave was lucky to find a few ancient Wonder Woman books before others had a chance to get to them later in the show. The booths for the various comic publishers were still being set up, but they already had some of their own models dressed up in costumes to draw onlookers, and a few costumed attendees were also being seen. Dave decided to let his new Wonder Woman make her first appearance after dinner. Dave got back to his room shortly before 7:00PM. He took a quick shower to rinse off the day's sweat, carefully shaving the hair off his arms and hands while doing so. Dave wasn't worried about losing the hair, since he could wear long sleeved shirts at work while it regrew. Once he had dried off, Dave started his transformation into the amazing Amazon. Dave folded his penis back between his legs, then put on a gaff to hold it there. Flesh colored panties were then pulled on over the gaff. Two pairs of shiny tan spandex tights were pulled onto his legs to give them a smooth feminine look, smoothing out his leg muscles in the process. Dave then put bright red press on nails onto each of his fingernails, making his small male hands look that much more feminine. Dave pulled the corset around his already small waist, and tightened it until his midsection had been drawn in to an appropriate hour glass shape. The tops of the tights were then pulled over the bottom of the corset, making a continuous show of glossy leg from the waist down. Dave reached for the magic Wonder Bra next, and hooked the back together while it was in front of him. After rotating the bra into position, Dave inserted the new breast forms into its cups. Dave was well pleased with the shape they took on, standing out from his chest considerably. He pulled the golden bustierre on, the red spandex covering his belly and sides while the golden globes fitted nicely over the Wonder Bra. The dark blue, almost not there shorts with a smattering of white stars were pulled on over the bustierre, and Dave worked at making sure the bottoms were even on both sides, so high that they were almost to his waist. The golden power belt was secured around Dave's now tiny waist, covering the tops of the shorts. The golden lasso was hooked to the belt, then silver bracelets of submission were put on, extending from Dave's wrists to mid-forearm. Dave sat down, then zipped on the shiny red vinyl boots with 3 inch heels. Dave had found over the last two years that these heels were easy to walk in, making his display of Wonder Woman something he could handle. From the neck down, Dave now looked like Wonder Woman. He stood, and walked back to the costume parts on his bed to complete his costume. Dave had his own female face mask which he used to portray Wonder Woman, making it unnecessary for him to worry about facial structure and makeup for costume shows. An artist friend of Dave's had done the makeup on the mask, using actual airbrushed paints to make the face look elegantly beautiful. Dave lifted the mask into position in front of his face, then pulled the latex over his own features, pulling the nose, cheeks and lips over his own, at the same time making sure the eyes were directly in front of his. Dave slipped his ears into the molded ones, then pulled the flaps together at the back, where he laced them tightly. The bottom of the mask matched his own skin tone nicely, but still was readily apparent on the neck, so Dave had added one thing to Wonder Woman's costume that the original didn't have - an inch wide blue choker with white stars was pulled around his neck, neatly covering the join line with the mask. Dave reached for the shoulder length black wig which had served him so well for the past two years, and carefully brushed it out. He put it into position over his mask, then once again took the brush to it. It had been teased to have a fluffed front and top, with sides and back falling straight then curling at the bottom. Dave put down the brush, then reached for the last item of the costume, Wonder Woman's golden tiara. He placed the tiara into the fluffed hair on his scalp while looking closely at his reflection in the mirror. With the tiara in position, Dave felt a strange wave of energy go through him. He closed his eyes in reaction, wondering what was happening. He briefly felt a churning of his insides, and when the energy seemed to fade, Dave reopened his eyes. Only, they weren't his eyes - they were Wonder Woman's eyes! Dave saw that the face looking back from the mirror was a very real, solid flesh, drop dead beautiful image, appropriate for an Amazon Princess. The hands reaching up to this face were exquisitely formed female hands. Dave was at a loss for an explanation of how she had actually become her favorite heroine. When she started to say, "What...," Dave stopped when she heard the contralto voice saying it. Then the realization hit Dave. "I truly am Diana Prince, I am Wonder Woman!" It was then that she noticed that her reflection was higher in the mirror. Dave looked down, and saw that her boots now had the sky high heels that Wonder Woman was known for, appearing to be at least 6 inches in height! Dave reached with her new hands to feel what she assumed she'd find on her chest, and found flesh and blood filling out the golden bustier even more prominently than the fakes had, with lots of cleavage showing above the gold straining to hold it in. There was also no sign of the bra underneath the bustier, or for that matter, the corset or any of the other underwear Dave had put on earlier. The corset certainly was no longer needed, as the golden Amazon power belt seemed to have shrunk in size, yet didn't even feel tight. Wonder Woman was bare legged, her smooth, tanned skin proudly displayed between the boot tops and her shorts. A quick jab to the crotch told Dave that she was, indeed, a complete woman. She also noticed that her golden lasso now seemed to be glowing slightly. Placing her arms akimbo, Wonder Woman stood in a heroic stance with her legs spread, then checked herself out in the mirror. "Well," she proclaimed, "I don't think I'll be needing this anymore!" She reached to her neck and pulled off the blue choker. Dave was now more than prepared to give the convention goers a new Wonder Woman this year. She decided to see if the magic inherent in the storied Amazon would work for her, and started to rapidly spin counter- clockwise with her hands outstretched, thinking of a business suit. When she stopped, Dave was dressed in a business suit with a pastel yellow blouse, light grey jacket and miniskirt, and round toed, grey pumps with 4 inch heels. A light grey purse hung from her shoulder. Opening the purse, Dave found a wallet with all his old credit cards and other ID's, but saying Diana Prince, with her photo included! Even the convention pass and ID had her name on them. Dave wondered right then if she should start thinking of herself as Diana instead of Dave. She was having fun acting out the role she'd written so much about, but for real now! Still wearing her business suit, but carrying the jacket draped over her shoulder with her purse, Diana went back to the convention hall. She was waved in by the gate guards, as if she'd been in and out all day. Once inside, Diana made a point of checking out the publisher's booths to see if any more had opened up, or added more models to their displays. She chuckled when she went by the DC Comics stand, guarded by a skinny Wonder Woman with no muscle tone! The costume looked good, being paid for by a company that not only had the money to do so, but owned the character as well. Too bad the woman inside the costume didn't have an Amazon build. Diana decided to show them what the real Wonder Woman looked like. She found a secluded spot at the back of the hall, with no one around, and once again spun counterclockwise. Back in costume, Wonder Woman made her way back to the DC stand, being ogled by comic fans all the way, many camera strobes flashing. She marched majestically in her 6 inch heels. Super powers sure come in handy, she thought. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I knew I was going to have to get up early for my flight on Friday morning, so I had to curtail my streetwalking a bit earlier than usual on Thursday night. Before I retired to my bed, I called the airline to confirm the reservation for Priscilla Rich on the San Fran flight early the next day. The magic had even worked far enough to change the reservation in Steve's name to Priscilla's. That done, I washed up and went to bed, anxious to see what was waiting in San Francisco. Priscilla was given a First Class upgrade on the flight the next morning, something I think Steve never would have gotten. Good looks, blonde hair and money are worth a lot, at least to the airlines. My costume was carefully packed into my carryon bag, since I didn't want to take any chances whatsoever with it. My checked bags had plenty of clothes for Prissy to wear on the streets of San Francisco, especially since they were so lacking in material. The various pairs of stilettos took up the most room. After getting breakfast served in the first hour of the flight, I napped for the remainder of the trip, since I wanted to be fully alert for my evening's activities. When I got to SFO, I waited for my checked bags to come around on the carousel, but even with First Class tags on them, it seemed to take forever. I was about ready to go into the ladies' room and change into my Cheetah costume, to scratch somebody badly, when my two bags finally came around. In the back of my mind, I could barely feel Steve trying to say that this was normal for the airlines, but I was doing my best to keep him from influencing my actions. I got a skycap to gather my bags, then went out front to hail a cab. The cabbie I eventually got seemed more than happy to have a beautiful blonde to take across town to the hotel. Prissy got some early activity when I brought the cabbie into my room to "tip" him for the drive and carrying my bags upstairs. He left the hotel looking like a very satisfied cabbie. The last vestige of Steve's personality was screaming weakly from the back of my mind after the way Prissy thanked the cabbie, and then died away completely. I'm glad the hotel allowed early check ins, because it was only noon by the time I was settled in my room. Foregoing lunch, I decided to sleep in for the afternoon, to have an active evening. When the wake up call came at 5PM, I hopped into the shower for a quick freshup, then had room service bring up a salad for dinner. I ate slowly, savoring the small amount of greens on the plate. I decided to go to the convention across the street in the most daring clothes I could wear, but not look ridiculous carrying my shoulder bag with costume inside, and room for books and art I might find at the show. I put on smoky grey hose, a black spandex miniskirt, and a white spandex turtleneck leotard. I pulled a pair of ankle high white boots onto my feet, and I was ready to go! I fixed my makeup, emptied my purse into the shoulder bag, then slung it over my shoulder. I can't wait to see if Wonder Woman dares to show her face at the show! I could feel the eyes of those around me lusting for my body as I crossed the street, and I put on a Cheshire Cat grin to tease them. Once I'd made my way inside, I found that the show was picking up momentum, with many used book dealers filling half the hall, and comic publisher booths open or about to open in the other half. There were so many comic characters walking the aisles that the costuming judges were going to be very busy, and it was only Friday! I saw a number of Batgirls, Catwomen in different costumes from over the years, and a lot of guys in Batman costumes who did not have anything like the bodies they needed to be Batman. I made my way to the used comics, and found a few good copies of older Catwoman books, and even the issue of Wonder Woman with me on the cover. I almost had the impression that the dealer was ready to say that just being able to look at me had paid for the books, but I pulled my wallet out of the shoulder bag, and gave him his money, along with a slip of paper with my room number on it. I decided to go check out the models at the publisher's booths, and was pleased to see a number of perfectly done costumes at the Image booth. Marvel had a good looking Spider-Man and Wolverine, but the Storm and Rogue characters looked a bit wimpy. As I turned the corner, I saw what had to be DC's own purple Catwoman, so I knew the DC booth had to be nearby. When I got there, I saw TWO Wonder Women! One was staying close to the booth, and actually looked a bit scrawny, but the other, hogging all the attention in the aisle outside the booth, looked just as I'd remembered her. She was a goddess, in both shape and being! It was time for Cheetah to make her appearance at the show!
