Super Ticklish Part 3 By: D.T. Johnson stares at Val for a few seconds to insure that she is actually asleep. He then open-handedly slaps her very lightly in the face to see her reaction. Nothing happens. He is satisfied and walks over to his desk and boots up his computer. Val's eyes suddenly begin to flutter as she awakens. She is very groggy and struggles to keep her eyes open. She looks over to Johnson and mutters incoherently. Johnson swivels his chair around in surprise to see her lips moving under the clear gas mask. "What's that? I can’t understand you", he asks. Val elects not to repeat her utterance and drifts back to sleep. She comes in and out of consciousness several times over the next couple of hours. Johnson is too involved with his work on the computer to notice and eventually become accustomed to the interruptions and ignores them. That however, was a big mistake. The tank of sleeping gas was only one third full compared to the fully charged oxygen tank. The last time Valentina awoke, her thinking was not impaired by the drowsiness and she realized that she was no longer being fed the full anesthetic mixture, only the oxygen. She closed her eyes to give the illusion of sleep while the knockout gas was being flushed from her system. Those couple of hours of sleep allowed her super strength to return. When Val figured she was free from the drug's affect, she quickly broke her nylon bonds. Johnson turned around just in time to receive a blow to his head from Val that knocked him out cold. She then proceeds to tie him to the same chair she had just been held captive in. She then ran out of the lab way she had entered, her immense mammaries bouncing with every stride. Val grabs her boots and quickly covers her feet again with them. She notices that there were no people there to impede her escape and all of the vans in the parking garage were missing. Valentina eventually reached the outside to see the light of the morning sun. Unfortunately, she didn't see the three blimps that she had previously seen late last night. She spun around to look in the general direction of Metro City. Three tiny dots could be seen slowly moving toward the metropolis. Valentina realized that a sizable portion of the city's 900,000 citizens would be in the downtown area at this time of day going work and their daily morning routines. Although she wasn't wearing a watch, the position of the sun indicated to her a time of around 8:00 AM. She quickly levitated into the air and chased after the dirigibles. If that laughing gas affects large numbers of people the way it had her, there was going to be a huge mess to deal with. Imani stands behind Victoria and Siccola as they man the flight controls of the number one blimp. Numbers two and three fly parallel to it on either side at distances of half a mile each and at an altitude of 3,500 feat to achieve the maximum effect of the gas. All three airships have been painted to resemble advertisements for Firestone tires, something a little less benign than their actual intent. Imani speaks into her walkie-talkie, "we're reaching the central business district, numbers two and three, begin releasing the payload." Imani walks towards the rear of the blimp. There are two huge tanks about the size of city buses on the port and starboard sides of the ship. Imani gathers all of her strength to turn a huge valve on the first tank. Then she releases the contents of the second tank. Immediately, waves of pink mist spray from vents on the sides of all three airships. The gas slowly makes its way onto the streets and the waves of people shopping and going to work. Lewis and Taylor, a male and a female police officer respectively, sit in their Metro City police cruiser stuck in morning traffic. Hey Taylor, look at those people over there. What are they so happy about" Lewis points out with his hand to people at an upcoming crosswalk who are laughing incessantly. "I dunno, maybe they're laughing at a street performer or a wino or something I can't really see from the driver's side. We'll see it when we pull up to the intersection. If this traffic ever hurries the hell up", Taylor replies nonchalantly. The light finally turns green and traffic slowly proceeds. A car suddenly runs the red light and strikes another car with the right of way. "Uh oh, trouble Lewis. Hit the siren." Taylor orders. Lewis flips a switch and the police cruiser wails and flashes its lights for a few seconds. The police car enters an open lane and drives several yards into the intersection. Several people stumble into the intersection to witness the drama. A chorus of chuckles and belly laughs commences. "HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HEHEHEHEHE HAHAHAHA." All of them are laughing hysterically at the officers and are pointing at the wrecked cars. The cops quickly exit their car. Lewis attends to the driver at fault and Taylor sees to the victim. Lewis approaches a middle-aged woman in a late model Buick. "Ma'am, are you all right", he inquires. "HAHAHAHAH I I've never felt HAHAHAHHAHA better in my HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA life", the woman barely managed to say. Lewis then looked around at the crowd of people and the intersection in general. Something wasn't right. There suddenly seemed to be an epidemic of minor fender benders and people laughing all within his field of view. He actually began to hear a chorus of laughter begin. It became louder and louder every second. He looked down all four streets forming that major intersection. People of all walks of life, business people, young slackers, housewives, senior citizens, mailmen, were all in on some really hilarious joke that he and his partner haven't gotten. At least not yet. He looked towards Taylor. His young, beautiful partner is sitting on the roof of the struck car laughing uncontrollably. He runs over to her and says, "what's wrong? You're not about to start too are you?" "I HAHAHAHHAHAHA don't HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA know what's wrong HAHAHHAHHAHAHA with me! I can't stop HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH laughing. Everything is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH soooo HAHAHHAHA funny to me HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" Taylor says as she hops off of the roof and wraps her arms around her partner's back so she can keep her balance. A smile suddenly erupts on Lewis' face. He begins to giggle, "hehehehehehehehehe I see hehehehehehe what you mean hehehehe. What's hehehehhehehehe ha haha happening to us hehehehehehe?" The man in the struck car gets out and falls to the ground holding his stomach and laughing cheerfully. The gas is affecting not everyone however. There are several strategically placed vans parked on the side streets of downtown Metro City. Men and women dressed in black jumpsuits and wearing protective gas masks suddenly pour out of the vans. They quickly enter the various banks and armored cars that are in close proximity. Some even manage to swipe jewelry off of various people's person. They will meet little resistance. The gas is building up in concentration and is entering buildings through the HVAC systems. The city streets become shrouded with a thin, pink, low-lying fog that turns anyone breathing it into a helplessly giggling mess. Valentina is approaching the number one blimp. But just as she comes with 2,000 feet of it she stops in mid air and floats. The gas is already being released. Should she stop it at the source or take care of the problems down below? She quickly decides when she hears the distinctive honk of a city bus. She looks below her and sees a public bus going out of control. Val has to save lives first so she forgets the blimps for now and makes a beeline to the bus. The vehicle is traveling at 40 mph in an area of the street that is only sparsely occupied by cars. But it will soon reach the major intersection of the previous accident and will no doubt kill several victims too drugged to know what hit them. The bus driver is drunk from the laughing gas but manages to see the cars at the intersection and suddenly swerves right to avoid them. But now he is heading for a crowd of stoned people who point and laugh at the bus that is about to kill them. The bus will squash most of them into the building they're in front of. Val flies to the front of the bus, brings herself upright and plants the heels of her boots into the asphalt to make the bus brake. Her face grimaces as she struggles with all of her might to stop the 30-ton behemoth. Screeeeeeeeeecccccchhhhhhh!!! She stops the bus just five feet shy of the onlookers. Her boot heels are smoking from the friction. The men in the crowd are making catcalls and lewd comments about various parts of Valentina's anatomy in between laughs. She is visibly annoyed but ignores them, walks over the door of the bus and forces it open. She climbs up the steps. "Is anyone hurt", she asks the passengers. "HAHAHAHAHAHAH HEHEEHHEHHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA", is the only response she gets from the riders. "Never mind", she growls in disgust. Val suddenly becomes light headed. The laughter of the passengers is becoming contagious. A slight smile cracks her frown. "I've…got…to maintain… my composure", the superheroine utters to herself as she tries to contain her chuckles. Being gassed alone was one thing but to experience nitrous oxide intoxication with others produces a more powerful effect. "I've…got …to…get out of…here", she utters again in her Shatnerian style. Val slowly stumbles backwards down the steps trying to maintain her balance. She misses the last step and falls on her cushy, brown ass. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." The crowd's level of laughter increases. Valentina can no longer contain her urges. She throws her beautiful head back and lets out a hearty belly laugh. Her breasts begin to jiggle and her abdomen spasms. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She is now one of several hundred people being affected by the pink gas cloud. Val looks up in the air and sees the number one zeppelin pass directly overhead. However, there's nothing she can do in her state. It was necessary for her to surrender her sobriety so that the people on the bus and the street could be saved. Not that is matters though, the gas is quickly making her lose any remaining sense or responsibility she had as her mind becomes a haze and everything around her becomes an extremely hilarious joke.
