Laura White's suburban kitchen... early Halloween afternoon...

"Oh, My Dear!  It must have been awful for you!" The beautiful, and athletic, ash blond realtor and homemaker, said to her young cousin, the equally beautiful SuperGwendoline.

"Y-yes, she did horrible things to me!"  SuperGwendoline sniffed, still finding it hard to come to terms with being defeated, abused and even enslaved by the forces of evil.  (See SuperGwendoline's Distress By GW) "It's just a miracle, that I managed to escape this morning.

"Here, Dear, let me pour you some more Coke. It always makes me feel better, when I'm blue!"  Laura said, in her soothing, maternal voice, as comforting as the Coke, itself.

"Thanks, Cousin Laura! You really are Super!"  SuperGwen replied, and managed a wan grin, at her little joke, for in her spare time, the beautiful housewife was, in reality, the invincible Woman of Steel, Supermom.

"Confidentially, I had a bad experience myself, this summer!"  Supermom confided, lowering her voice. "Those devilish brats next door got hold of some Kryptonite, somehow. They rendered me helpless, and then they subjected me to terrible indignities!" Supermom's voice trailed off almost to a whisper, and her face flushed, as she remembered the terrors of that afternoon.  (See Supermom's Rose Garden By GW)

"I w-won't go into details, but if Bobby and Amy hadn't rescued me, I don't know what would have happened. It was awful; those kids next door are truly evil monsters! Of course, I blame the mother; she lets them run wild with no supervision. That wasn't the end of it, either.  The nasty little beasts, and their mother, told everyone!  I've become the laughingstock of the neighborhood. I was president of the P. T. A. but when I came up for reelection last month, I didn't get a single vote. They unanimously elected that horrible Leticia Luther, those awful children's mother, of all people!"

"People can be so cruel!" SuperGwendoline sympathized, patting Laura's hand. "I don't think they always realize, or appreciate, how much we superheroines go through, to protect them!"

"Well, enough about my troubles!"  Laura said, with a brave smile.  "I wish the kids hadn't gone away for the holiday with their father, though!  They always enjoy your visits, so much, and they'd cheer you up!"

"Yes, I'm sorry I missed them!"  SuperGwendoline replied in disappointment.  She was genuinely fond of her young cousins.

"I'd have gone too, but I didn't want to leave the house empty on Halloween!  Even without Kryptonite, there's no telling what those little brats, next door, might do!  Well, we'll stay here together, and have a girl's night!  We can hand out  treats together, to the 'trick or treaters'!"

"Oh, that will be fun!"  SuperGwendoline said, clapping her hands in delight. "I always loved Halloween the best, of all the holidays, when I was a kid!"

"Me too!" Supermom agreed, enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, far away, at D'Arcy Castle, it was late afternoon, but Lady Erotiqua Dastardly-D'Arcy was just waking up. The spoiled, self-indulgent aristocrat was never an early riser, and, of course, her avocation of jewel thief, made for especially late hours!  She rang, imperiously, for her maid.  She was accustomed to her captive, superheroine maidservant rushing to answer her summons, using all of her super speed; the penalty for tardiness was too awful to contemplate.   This afternoon, though, there was no response to Lady Erotiqua's insistent ring.

"Demn-me! Where is that gel. Isn't it enough, I give the slatternly slut every other Thursday afternoon off, from four to six?"  Lady Erotiqua rang again, but there was still no response.

"Oh!  That impudent gel will pay!"  The voluptuous noblewoman seethed, in fury. Just then the phone by her bedside rang. Lady Erotiqua picked it up, with an angry gesture of annoyance.

"Why Leticia Luther! Good to hear from you!"

"Just called to see if you were going to make the annual Coven gathering, tonight, Erotiqua?  We had such fun last year, tormenting that dumb bunny,  Mary Marvel, I've been looking forward to it all year! (See Marvelous Halloween by GW)

"No, Leticia!  Unfortunately, I have business this year! The Raja Diamond is on display in India. It's only taken out of the vault, once a year, and I've always wanted a stone of that size and cut for my tiara, dontcha know, for official occasions!"

"Oh Hades, Erotiqua, that's too bad!" Leticia answered in disappointment.  "I hoped this year we might torment my next door neighbor. It's supposed to be a secret, but everyone in the neighborhood knows, that she's really Supermom!  She's such an uptight, prissy bitch, and this is the one night a year when we possess the Dark Power of the Coven!  She has another superheroine visiting her, too!  It would have been such deliciously devilish fun! It's that SuperGwendoline, who the papers said disappeared a few months ago!"

"What! SuperGwendoline is in the states?" Lady Erotiqua snorted angrily.

"Why yes, I just saw her in the backyard, next door.  She's impossible to miss in that garish, yellow and red costume! You can spot it a mile away!  Oh Erotiqua, it wasn't you who made her disappear, was it?" Leticia asked in admiration.

"Well, you might say that!" Erotiqua replied, proudly.  "Although, she didn't really disappear! She took up a new position, as my lady's maid, albeit, a trifle reluctantly, I might add!  But now, the worthless slut appears to have run off! I shall have to retrieve her!"

"Oh, you lucky thing; I've always wanted a superheroine maidservant!"

"She is a convenience, but such a bother sometimes, dontcha know?" Lady Erotiqua yawned, complacently.

"Does that mean you're coming, then?"

"No, regrettably, Leticia, business before pleasure, as they say. I shall have to send someone, but who?"  Lady Erotiqua mused, half to herself.

After she hung up the phone, Lady Erotiqua pondered for a few moments, then half aloud to herself, muttered.  "Well, I suppose I shall have to send my idiot, half brother, Jack Lantern!  He is family, after all, in a backdoor sort of way, though what Pater was thinking, when he debauched that  imbecile dairy maid, Meg Lantern, I'll never know! And the lad is such a dimwit!  He does nothing, but sit in front of that silly computer, reading internet stories, about ravished superheroines!  Well, he should enjoy recapturing a buxom super wench, like SuperGwendoline, for me! I shall let him use the D'Arcy Girdle of Dark Power!  With that power, even he should be able to apprehend that blonde twit!"

Once she made up her mind, Lady Erotiqua immediately summoned her young, bastard brother to the castle.

Jack hurried off from the humble cottage, in D'Arcy Village, that he shared with his mother. By coincidence, it was just down the lane from the other humble cottage where SuperGwendoline's mother, Sweet Gwendoline, was born. Jack was in awe of his arrogant, older sister, and wouldn't think of keeping her waiting for a moment, although he secretly thought her a nasty, conceited bitch.

In Lady Erotiqua's chambers, the imperious noblewoman, in diaphanous wrap, looked over her brother, shaking her head sadly, and thinking. "Such a disappointment to poor, dear Pater!  We shall have to do something to make him look a bit more menacing, at least!"

Eighteen year old Jack was trembling in excitement, at thought of meeting SuperGwendoline.  "Gee Erotiqua, you mean you've had SuperGwendoline here at the Castle for two months, and didn't even tell me? I'd have adored meeting her, and maybe even getting her autograph!"

"One doesn't ask servants for their autograph, You Simpleton!" Lady Erotiqua snapped. "And you know I disapprove of you interfering with the serving wenches!  It gives them ideas above their station!  However, if you recapture the slattern for me, you may debauch her, if you wish!  I suppose, a roll in the hay never really hurts a maid servant!  Pater always said, 'that's what nature made them for, anyway'!  No offense to your mother!"  Erotiqua added, maliciously.

"Bitch!"  Jack thought, but afire to be off, on this greatest adventure of his life, he held his tongue.  It was a dream come true! Instead, he answered eagerly. "Really, Erotiqua, I can have my way with her? You mean it? Boy, that'll be super! But how am I going to get to America, tonight?"

"You can use my spare, Coven broomstick! On this night, it can fly anywhere in the  world, nearly instantly!  I'm going to India myself, on mine!  Unfortunately those powers only work this one night of the year, so be back with here, with SuperGwendoline, by Midnight!"

"Yes, sure, Erotiqua, whatever you say!"  Jack said, champing at the bit, to be off on his Halloween adventure.

A short time later, Jack Lantern, newly outfitted by his evil sister, in a costume appropriate for his dastardly mission, flew off into the darkening sky, on the Coven broomstick.

At the White residence, it was just getting dark, when Supermom noticed that the huge pumpkin, the centerpiece of her tasteful Halloween, autumn, porch display was missing.

"Oh Dear, Gwen!  I was sure, my display would win first prize in the Neighborhood Association, holiday decoration contest, too!  I was sure I'd win the summer award, but those nasty children, next door, destroyed my prize roses!"  Supermom said sadly. "I suppose it was those awful brats, who took the pumkin, too!"  She shook her head, in resignation.

Though, the redoubtable Supermom would take on comets, space aliens, or evil terrorists, without a moment's hesitation, since that horrifying day last summer, the Matron of Might was extremely reluctant to interfere with the devilish tots, next door.

(As it happened, Leticia Luther had sent her two imps to steal the pumpkin earlier in the day, planing on winning the prize, herself, this year!  She had also sent Billy and Wendy to play in the Rose Garden next door last summer, and now the Outstanding Summer Garden Award rested proudly on her mantelpiece.)

"Can't we get another pumpkin?" SuperGwendoline asked, helpfully, sharing her cousin's disappointment.

"Well, there is the old pumpkin patch in back of the development!"  Supermom replied, thoughtfully.  "But I hate to leave the house on Halloween.  I don't want to miss any of the 'trick or treaters'!  They look so darling in their little costumes!  I always serve them Coke and doughnuts! That Leticia Luther only gives them cheap, generic, supermarket cola and crackers... on Halloween, too!"

"I'll go look for one!"  SuperGwen generously offered.

"Oh, would you, Dear? That would be wonderful!" Supermom answered, her spirits brightening.  "Just go through the backyard,  You can't miss it!  There's never anyone there, this time of year, at least since that strange little boy down the street moved away. He used to sit there every Halloween night, waiting for the 'Great Pumpkin' to arise from the pumpkin patch, and distribute toys to the children of the world.  It was so adorable, but kind of sad, too!"

It wasn't to be the Great Pumpkin, though, that SuperGwendoline met in the Pumpkin Patch that night!

The voluptuously curved heroine found the pumpkin patch easily, and diligently began searching for the biggest, most perfect pumpkin.  She hardly noticed how dark it had grown, despite the newly risen, full moon overhead, until she heard a strange sound. Startled, she looked around.

"Gee, it's awfully dark out here! Sort of spooky!"  SuperGwen murmured, with a little shiver of nervousness, as she peered through the murky darkness.  "Oh well!  It's lucky, I'm a superheroine, and not afraid of the dark, even on Halloween!"  The plucky crimefighter told herself, proudly, and went back to her search.

Just then, someone tapped the caped, and booted, blonde heroine, on the shoulder.  Superheroine, or not, SuperGwen jumped about a foot, in the air!  She spun around, eyes nervously wide.  A dark, masked figure confronted her!  Lady Erotiqua had indeed done an effective job in making her nerdish brother look menacing. In the murky gloom, Jack Lantern looked like the "Boogie Man" incarnate, to the nervous superheroine, but it would take more than evil looks to intimidate the indomitable SuperGwendoline

"Wh-who are you?"  SuperGwendoline demanded, drawing herself up to her full height, and imperiously doing her best, to recover, that disdainful dignity, so befitting a world renowned superheroine.

Instead of answering, the dark  stranger had the temerity to reach out, and fondle the gorgeous superheroine's more than generous bosom. "Wow!  Those are some Halloween pumpkins!"  He laughed, with an evil leer.

"I'll show you Halloween pumpkins!"  SuperGwendoline snapped angrily, and swung her mighty fist, but the stranger in black ducked, and her strong arm whistled, harmlessly, over his head.

As our darling heroine tottered off balance, Jack Lantern knavishly slammed his fist into her succulent midsection, and then rising to his full height, lanced a kick into her side.

"Hey, that stuff from those Kung-fu movies really works!"  Jack thought, excitedly, as SuperGwendoline stumbled, and almost fell. "Maybe, I can do judo, too!" He grabbed the shapely blonde superheroine's arm.  SuperGwen squealed, in shock, as Jack twisted her arm painfully, and kicked her leg out from under her.   A moment later, she sailed through the air, and hit the ground with a loud thump.

Unnoticed, at the edge of the pumpkin patch, two small figures watched the terrible assault on right and justice, from a secure vantage.

"Wow!  That guy is really taking SuperGwendoline apart!" Billy Luther whispered to his sister.

"Yeah, he sure is!" Wendy Luther smirked, back.  "You run home, and tell Mom!  She wouldn't want to miss this!"

"Aww, I don't want to miss any of it!"  Billy grumbled, but his older sister glared at him.

"Awwright, but it isn't fair!"  Billy groused, as he ran home to get his mother.

As Billy reluctantly ran off, Jack drove his left fist into SuperGwendoline's jaw. When that punch nearly knocked the beautiful blonde crimefighter over, Jack hit her again, with the other fist.

The second punch knocked SuperGwendoline for a loop; she could hardly stand up. Before the tousled blonde fell, Jack flung his arms around her svelte waist, and lifted her off her feet.

Jack had never been so close to a real girl before, and now he had his arms tightly wrapped around one, and a gorgeously beautiful superheroine to boot.  A girl's body had a much more substantial, satisfying heft to it, than he had imagined. Gwen's voluptuous body, squirming desperately in his arms, nearly took his breath away. This was no time to let lecherous desire interfere with his assignment, though; he squeezed her middle for all he was worth.  Her sweet little midriff rubbed maddeningly against his body. Despite her firmly toned muscles, it was surprisingly soft. Her big, defiantly uptilted breasts bobbed in his face.  The temptation to kiss one of those breathtaking globes of delight was overwhelming, but Jack knew that wouldn't be fighting fair.

SuperGwendoline struggled with frightened desperation. Oh, this couldn't be happening to her, not again!  Was another villain to triumph over her? Was there no justice in the world?  She beat against the villain's chest, but he just smiled at her. How infuriating, it was!

Just as Jack raised SuperGwendoline into the air, Billy, out of breath from running at top speed, so as to miss as little as possible, returned to the pumpkin patch.  His mother trailed along behind, at a more leisurely pace, befitting her well upholstered form.  Leticia Luther with her long, flaming red hair would have been an exquisitely beautiful woman, if she ate a little less, and exercised a little more.  Like her daughter, Leticia was dressed as a Halloween witch, only her witchly powers were real, for this one special night of the year, at least.  Real witchly powers or not, Leticia's outfit came from the same supermarket, where she had found the sale item, 'trick or treat' cola. Leticia was known, throughout the neighborhood, as being one of the most frugal of housewives.

Leticia's feet hurt from the tight shoes she had found in the back of her closet, to go with her witch's costume, and she was grateful to sink down on the ground beside her kids, and watch the unique Halloween festivities.  No one enjoyed seeing a superheroine defeated and tormented more than Leticia, and SuperGwendoline was being well tormented, indeed, that night. Leticia had only one minor regret. "Too bad it isn't that super bitch from next door!"

As Leticia watched in appreciation, the dark stranger's strong arms cut off SuperGwendoline's breath and reduced her to quivering helplessness. The lovely crimefighter was no longer worried about her superheroinely pride, or the triumph of justice. It was a deadly struggle just to stay conscious, one she was rapidly losing.

Jack saw the girl's eyes flutter and felt her body go limp.  Her large shapely breasts settled against his shoulders in rather alarming intimacy. "Oh Gee! I think she's passing out!" Jack instantly loosened his arms. He didn't want to kill SuperGwen!  Erotiqua would be furious at that!  And, a voluptuous Superheroine would be a terrible prize to waste.

SuperGwendoline collapsed on her hands and knees. Jack grabbed her golden curls, and fiercely pulled the half conscious crimefighter to her knees.  He stretched her arms painfully behind her back, planting his foot in the small of her back.

Poor SuperGwen howled in pain, as the evil stranger bent her backward with relentless, intimidating strength.

"Oh Gosh! I didn't mean to hurt her!"  Jack thought,  guiltily, at SuperGwendoline's bloodcurdling cries.  "Gee, I thought Superheroines were impervious to pain, but it sounds like she's really hurt!"  He let go of the blonde heroine's arms.

When SuperGwendoline failed to return in a reasonable time, her cousin Laura began to get nervous. "Oh Dear! I hope she's okay! The poor darling had such a frightful ordeal with that awful Erotiqua woman! I hope she didn't run into any more trouble! Maybe I better go see if she's all right!"

In a flash, the comely, demure, suburban housewife and mother became the World's Mightiest Superheroine, Supermom!

Seconds later, Supermom entered the pumpkin patch, just in time to see a tall,
black-clad, masked villain drop her swooning cousin across a pumpkin.

As the half conscious SuperGwendoline collapsed across the pumpkin, the hard green stem digging painfully into her delectable little tummy, Jack Lantern glanced up to see the world's Mightiest Woman standing before him, in all her righteous wrath!  He hadn't counted on fighting two superheroines in one night, but it was too late to turn back now.
