MobGirl: Through The Ages 1 By Dru The high seas rolled beneath a chaotic thunderstorm, a high noon sun unable to penetrate the dark anger of the clouds. Below the churning chaos of the storm, there was a more peaceful scene. The surface fish rode low, afraid of the lightning, and the larger creatures didn't seem hungry. Perhaps the rolling movement of the water unsettled their stomachs even at the depths they sought to escape it. There was a burst of strange lightning that startled all the creatures into a new flurry of activity. They darted away from the purple flash, clearing the way as Emily Lahey materialized in the air and dropped into a steep wall of wind blasted water. Still clutching the Kryptonite in her hand, Emily drifted past the surface fish toward the murky depths beyond. Unconcerned by her environment, she was getting worried about how long she could handle the pain. Breaking a few pieces of rock as she touched down in total darkness, she opened her eyes to see where she was. Recognising the ocean floor, her anger at Lex Luther doubled. He really wanted her dead and he may have succeeded. Trying to hold the rock harder, having obliterated much tougher looking stuff in her grip before, Emily attempted to crush it. But in her weakened state the rock cut into her fingers. Letting the pain fuel her anger into a blind, desperate rage, Emily summoned enough control to get her other hand into the equation. Still the stone resisted her efforts, but she could hear it straining and so continued surging the pressure. Now Emily could see the watch, and to distract herself from the incredible pain, she read the face and took in the fact that the readout had a flashing red light next to three tiny letters and a full-stop. "B.lo". But that seemed unimportant as she read the date and time beneath the location line. "12:23 06/03/12000 BCE". Suddenly the Kryptonite exploded into a misty cloud, the boom hurting fish for miles around but only killing those unfortunate enough to be too close. Emily was free of most of the pain, but it took a while for it fully subside. Her cramped body relaxed and felt terrific again, and Emily stretched to enjoy the feeling of super-strength returning to her firm body. The cuts on her hand were soon forgotten, having healed and left no scar by the time she cleared the clouds. Resetting the watch seemed to be enough to drain it. By the time Emily got around to the year, the red light became constant and the readout blank. As it turned out, Lex was covering all bases. As Emily started to think about her boggling situation, the watch exploded from her wrist. It didn't hurt much, in fact not at all, but the blast left her with no way home. "Maybe it didn't work," she thought aloud, happy with the idea for a moment. "It was too small to be a time machine anyway." Flying low through the massive weather system, Emily enjoyed both the turbulence and the lightning bolts that struck her. She flew smoothly into clearer skies and saw the coast of America. It was a little different. The cities weren't there. The coastline was a little different too. The trees were massive, and Emily knew all too well what these things meant. She was in the past. She stopped and hovered above the ancient fauna. She had been banished to a time far removed from her father. "Shit." And her way home was gone. "Fuck." So Emily had two options. She could hover there and think up a way to get home. Or she could have a look around first. Darting across the continent, Emily marvelled at the receding glaciers of the ice-age, and picked out herds of mammoths striding the vast plains of the tundra. Looking a little closer to home, Emily made her way toward Metropolis. As the terrain flashed past she counted hundreds of tribes of Indians. There even seemed to be a few battles going, thrilling Emily but not distracting her. She had to know what her home town looked like. It wasn't what she expected. The area was all covered in dense forest. And there were no tribes here. Amazed by the wildlife for only a moment, Emily soared into orbit to take a look at the big picture. The planet below her was very different from the one she knew. There were no cities, no planes, and no big ships. But there were people, though not nearly so many. Emily didn't know that humanity had spread so far and wide so early in history, but she found humans on all continents. As Europe rolled by far below, Emily was reminded how far back in time she had travelled. Most of the settlements she found were centred around caves, and the people were dressed in animal skins. But Emily got her biggest shock when she spotted a city. A small city, but the buildings were out of place on a globe covered by primitive man. They were stone, with slate roofing. When Emily saw a dark haired man walking about with several women tagging along behind him she gasped in surprise. He was Kryptonian. She explored the city and discovered that there were about twenty Kryptonians living it up among a population of far weaker Earthlings. "Well how about that!" Most of the Kryptonians she saw were males, though there were a few ladies hovering about the place. Focusing her hearing toward the surprising discovery, Emily listened in on a few conversations, not missing a word in any of them. They spoke English, and so did most of the civilians. She could not wait a moment longer, and dropped toward the largest building. As the city grew to fill her vision she saw all the Kryptonians look up. She smiled and waved as she dropped behind the trees surrounding what Emily surmised to be the head-honcho's pad. There were ceremonial guards standing at the door. Emily expected them to look startled, but they had seen flying people before many times, and were not startled by her sudden appearance. She approached the heavily built warriors and stopped a few feet away. "Who lives here?" she asked them, tilting her head and straightening her hair. "This is the home of Zeus," one of them bellowed, "King of the Gods." Emily nearly laughed, but managed to keep it down to a grin. "The King of the Gods, eh?" Piercing the walls with her handy visual talents, she sought out the Kryptonian who called this place home. He was splayed out beside a pool wearing odd white bathers. They looked like something out of the forties. She gasped when she saw his elite-athlete physique. "Ohh! Go get him for me." "Who are you?" "Never-mind. I'll go." Leaping into the air, Emily left the guard and flew into the courtyard of Zeus's villa. The Kryptonian turned his head to look, but didn't get up as she came to a stop two feet above the water. "Have you been sent by the Council?" he asked, closing his eyes again and seeming to focus on sunbathing as though it were very important and difficult. "Because if you were, the first thing I should say is 'Fuck off'." Emily said nothing. She was checking him out, surprised to find that her eyes were powerful enough now to see through him. The realization that she was twice as powerful as the thick-bodied Zeus gave her quite a thrill. She was, after all, comparing herself to an ancient god. "We're not going back. The council can't make us, either. Because anyone they send here, like you, won't want to go back once they taste it." He leaned up on one elbow and stared into her eyes, using his enhanced speed in an attempt to impress her. "I see you've been flying. Did you like it?" Emily beamed at him. "I love it." "Have you seen all the other things you can do? The sun gives us..." "I know." He looked it at her strangely. "How long have you been here? No-one saw your ship." "I was born here." He laughed. "So you're going to stay, then?" "What's so funny?" Emily demanded, not smiling anymore. "Well...I mean...you are going to stay? Why go back to Krypton when there's so much we can do here?" "I've never been to Krypton. How long have you been here?" Zeus floated to his feet, clearly concerned. "If you were sent to take us home, you would know that. Who are you?" "No-one sent me to fetch you, Kryptonian. I came here to fuck you." "That's enough!" "Hera!" Zeus turned to see another beautiful woman fly down over his pool. "Who's this slut?" the new arrival demanded. Emily hardly seemed to notice the woman, letting her rude question slide. She resumed her examination of Zeus. She bit her lip, and ran her hands over her own flawless curves. "You get me so hot, Zeus." She moved up to him, and felt his biceps. "You must be so strong..." "Hey! That's my husband!" "I don't see a wedding band," Emily told her, addressing Hera for the first time but not taking her eyes off Zeus, who seemed mesmerized. It was the first time Emily had been hit by the full force of a Kryptonian. She had been so absorbed in Zeus and the feelings developing within her body she didn't realize Hera was going to strike. The jealous lover lashed out with a furious kick, intending to kill this stranger. While Emily soared several thousand feet in the air tumbling head over heels, Hera grabbed her sore foot in surprise. She had not felt pain since arriving on this planet. Emily corrected her flight and hovered back toward the ground. The blow may have sent her flying, but the dull thud she had felt was far from painful. "What was that for?" she asked, floating down and stopping in front of Hera. "You stay away from my man!" Emily just smiled, looking at the cracked bone in Hera's foot. "And what are you going to do about it?" Hera forgot the pain in her foot, and lashed out with more anger than before. This time Emily was prepared, and held herself. She could feel the blows, and people could hear each impact for miles. But they didn't hurt much. When Hera scratched her face, digging the invulnerable fingernails of each hand in as deep as she could, Emily moved for the first time to defend herself. Grabbing both Hera's wrists firmly enough to draw a surprised gasp, Emily tightened hands a fraction more and stared coldly into the wriggling woman's eyes. "Don't do that," she told her, "You'll break a nail." "What are you?" Hera asked weakly, her situation dawning on her. This strange newcomer possessed strength Hera had never dreamed possible, even since her arrival on Earth. Before Emily could formulate a witty reply, Zeus jumped her from behind and put her in a choke hold. "See that?" she asked, exerting herself only a little to prevent Zeus from pulling her off Hera. "He even wants me!" The other Kryptonians posing on Earth as gods started to arrive. Most of them hovered well back from the action, but a few went to their commanders aid. Despite being twice as strong as any of them, Emily could see how the odds had changed and released Hera. Taking a breath, she accelerated her senses until the birds froze in mid-flight. The Kryptonians saw her become a blur and Emily could see them moving as fast they could. Playing with them for a moment, Emily flew around and demonstrated to them what super-speed was really all about. Realizing that they had no chance of laying a hand on her, Emily started laying them out with tight-fisted blows designed to drive them into the ground. Those watching were stunned as one by one the mightiest of the Kryptonians were slammed deep into the Earth. They all vanished except for Zeus. Emily flashed up to stand in front of him. "I hope you Greek gods are better lovers than fighters," she whispered, aware that the rest of Zeus's cronies were sneaking up from behind. She reached for the frozen face of their paralysed leader, her other hand stroking her breast. But just as the closest Kryptonian tried to take her from behind she disappeared, leaving the brave alien to fall into Zeus taking both them into the pool. "You fools have no idea what you're up against," Emily told them, lying on the edge of the pool as Zeus realized she had taken care of the others already. Zeus glared angrily at her, his heat vision charring and melting the tiles beneath Emily's alluring curves. Basking in the pleasant warmth, Emily tilted her head and smiled at him. "Thank you, baby. That's nice." Not surprised that his heat vision couldn't hurt her at all, Emily decided against giving him a taste of her own. She turned her head over her shoulder and looked at the villa Zeus had constructed. Closing a nostril with her finger, Emily blew through her nose. The palatial villa collapsed, and the debris was blasted through the city leaving little untouched. "What are you?" Zeus demanded, horrified by the incredible demonstration of casual power. Emily just smiled, floating out over the water toward him. "I'm hot for you, Zeus," she told him, aware and unconcerned by how slutty she sounded. This guys was a pushover compared to her, but she was excited by what he might be able to do for her. Before Zeus knew she had moved, Emily had her shapely legs around him, carrying him into the stratosphere. "You just relax," she whispered, easily preventing his escape. Her pheromones reached him, and as her tongue entered his mouth and wrestled his to the side with frightening ease, Zeus stopped struggling to escape.
