Murky Marsh (Delta City Villains no. 5 ) pt. 1

by Sigma

 

I

Welcome to Murky Marsh. Population: 30,000

 

That was the sign that greeted Flag Girl, Azure Angel, Got Chic, and Amazing Babe when they pulled over to the side of the road just outside the small town 75 miles from the Delta City limits.

 

The car, a four door sedan decorated in red, white, and blue, idled while the heroines stared down the road at the small town situated in the middle of a swampy expanse of land.

 

"Do we really have to go there?" Azure Angel asked.

 

"Yes," Flag Girl told her. "And we need to be careful, too. Maisie Tyler has family here, and there's one person in particular who might give us trouble once she finds out we're coming."

 

"You wait until now to tell us?" Angel asked, only to go ignored.

 

"Ugh, this place is a total hicksville," Got Chic complained.

 

"Yeah, really. Let's just grab Maisie and get back to civilization..." Amazing Babe said.

 

"This is her town," Flag Girl reminded the other heroines. "It might not be a simple grab and run scenario. There's a motel we'll be staying in while we figure out how to tackle this. I brought some clothes for everyone so we can blend in if we need to."

 

The other three teen heroines simply groaned and got back in the car. Flag Girl then climbed in the driver's seat and continued toward town.

 

***

 

Maisie Tyler walked up to the front door of the Horny Gator Saloon, one of the town's watering holes, and nervously looked over her shoulder. She tossed her black hair back and scanned the parking lot, packed with trucks, motorcycles, and jeeps, as the sun began to set over the town.

 

When she opened the door, loud southern rock music flooded out and loud conversation among the bar's patrons carried on the air as she scanned the crowd, hoping to find the one person able to help her.

 

"Oh, shit..." Carson Tyler groaned when a double shot of whiskey slid in front of him. His younger brother, Cody, laughed and slapped him on the shoulder while the woman behind the bar poured another one for herself.

 

"Really, ma?" Carson asked.

 

"Stop being a baby and take the shot, Carson," 'Mama' Adelyn Tyler told her oldest son. She then grabbed hers and slammed it back before putting the glass down, not so much as flinching when she swallowed the drink.

 

Carson exhaled and took the glass.

 

"Come on, now Carson, your daddy, God rest his beautiful soul, is looking down on you."

 

In one quick move, Carson took his whiskey, downed it and then shuddered. Adelyn and Cody both laughed and Adelyn rubbed her son on his shaved head. She then looked past her sons and nodded. "What the hell's your sister getting into over there?"

 

The boys turned around to find their sister, Caitlyn, the oldest of the Tyler children, laying back on one of the pool tables with her shirt pulled up to her chest to expose her tight stomach. She sprinkled a generous helping of salt on her tummy and put a lime wedge in her mouth. Another man, Billy Crawford, then poured tequila on Caitlyn's stomach, lapped the drink and the salt up, and then took the lime wedge from her mouth with his. Cheers shook the bar walls and Adelyn laughed and shook her head before pouring a second shot. "Your turn, Cody."

 

Mama Tyler's youngest grinned, took his shot and threw it down immediately, much to the annoyance of his brother and Adelyn simply laughed at her two boys when Carson punched his little brother in the shoulder.

 

"Oh, look. I guess Handsome Barry wants a go with your sister now," Adelyn pointed out. When the boys turned around they saw Handsome Barry, a man with a heavily scarred face in greasy mechanic overalls, approach Caitlyn where she sat on the pool table. She turned around, took one look, and pushed the man away before climbing down and lowering her shirt.

 

"That boy will never learn," Mama Tyler laughed while cracking open a beer can. She then looked at the front door and furrowed her brow when she saw a dark haired girl walk in. "Is that...it can't be..."

 

Maisie looked over at the bar and saw a woman with shoulder length brown hair waving a tattooed arm at her, and her face lit up as she pushed through the crowd and ran to her.

 

"Aunt Addy!" Maisie hugged her. "Oh my god, I'm so glad I found you."

 

"I'll be damned!" Adelyn exclaimed happily. "Maisie Luann Tyler, if I haven't seen you in an age! Boys, look who it is!"

 

The brothers got up to hug their cousin and Maisie held them close, seemingly reluctant to let go.

 

"I heard you were still out there in Delta," Cody said.

 

"I was, but I ran into some trouble and I need your help," Maisie told her family.

 

"Well I don't believe it," Caitlyn said, walking up to them. She pushed passed her brothers and looked her cousin up and down. "Ain't seen you in, what, six years, Piggy?" she taunted, poking the curvy Maisie in her soft belly. "Ow!" Caitlyn grunted when Adelyn grabbed the offending finger and bent it back, nearly forcing Caitlyn to her knee.

 

"What'd I tell you 'bout callin' her that, Caitlyn?!" Adelyn chastised. 

 

"Ow, ow! Goddamn! Sorry, ma!" Caitlyn withdrew and looked at the floor while her brothers suppressed chuckles after their mother let go.

 

"And don't blaspheme," Adelyn said, smacking Caitlyn in the head. "Now," Adelyn put her hands on Maisie's shoulders. "Have a seat, sugar. Carson's gonna get you a drink while you tell Aunt Addy why you blew into town like that."

 

Maisie took a deep breath and sat on a bar stool. She took a moment to collect herself and then took the beer when Carson gave it to her. She then took a very long drink before putting the bottle down.

 

"All right, so, you know how I headed out to Delta City to get my own thing going makin' and sellin' Bliss, right?"

 

"Uh huh..."

 

"Well, I got busted, Aunt Addy. A bunch of those teenage capes broke up my gig and ran me outta town. They beat up all my boys. They almost threw my ass in jail but I managed to give 'em the slip. I know they followed me, though. They might be in town already."

 

"Which heroines?" Adelyn asked.

 

"I never really bothered learnin' who was who, I was just keepin' my head down and tryna make money. I know one of 'em is Americana's sidekick, though."

 

Adelyn's face darkened at the mention of Americana's name. She glared at the door and rubbed Maisie's shoulder while nodding. "All right, sugar. You did the right thing comin' to me for help. Aunt Addy's gonna take care of you. Cody, take her back to the house and set her up in one of the guest rooms. Go out the back."

 

"You got it, ma," Cody said, taking Maisie's arm and leading her behind the bar and through the kitchen.

 

"We gonna have to throw down with some capes, ma?" Carson asked.

 

"Lord willin'. I'm gonna need you two at my side, too," she told Carson and Caitlyn.

 

"Of course, ma," Caitlyn said.

 

Almost on cue, the front door was kicked opened and four woman in bright, skimpy costumes stood in the entrance, drawing every eye inside the bar. The chatter died down right away as the heroines of Teen Squad scanned the room.

 

"Good people of Murky Marsh, my name is Flag Girl. We're looking for a fugitive named Maisie Tyler. Point us in the right direction and we'll be on our way."

 

"How 'bout you snot-nosed bitches get outta my town before I mess you all up," Adelyn said. She approached the four and stood in arm's length.

 

"Ma'am, there's no need for that kind of language," Amazing Babe said. "We just..."

 

"Wait..." Flag Girl stopped her and pulled her back. "This is the woman I told you Americana warned me about when I said we were coming here. Adelyn Tyler, known one time as Wildflower..."

 

"Oh..." Amazing Babe said, backing up.

 

At 6 feet tall, Adelyn towered over all four of the teens and maintained her chiseled, athletic, curvy physique at 45 years old. Her very presence seemed to cast a shadow over them and everyone in the bar seemed to defer to her.

 

"I'm gonna give you all just one chance to leave my town. Maisie is my kin, and you ain't goin' anywhere with her."

 

She and Flag Girl stared each other down, and while they did, the other bar occupants looked at the heroines. Amazing Babe looked to her left at Handsome Barry, who seemed to be eyeing her up and down. She recoiled in disgust and stood behind Flag Girl.

 

Flag Girl looked at Adelyn's tattoo, a long network of vines that wrapped around her left arm and ended in flowers around her wrist. "Ms. Americana told me about your days as Wildflower. We don't have to be enemies..."

 

"When you're threatening my family, yeah we do. Besides, I gotta bone to pick with your boss anyway."

 

"I know...that's not going to stop me from doing what I need to do."

 

Caitlyn and Carson stood at their mother's sides.

 

Flag Girl realized things weren't in their favor and signaled for the team to leave the bar. "You're not going to get away with harboring a criminal, I don't care how much good you used to do. You'll be seeing me around..." she said before they all left.

 

Once the teens were out of the building, Adelyn turned to her daughter. "Follow them and find out where they go."

 

"You got it, ma," Caitlyn said before leaving. 

 

"Carson, go home and keep watch over Maisie with your brother. I'm gonna go warn our partners about these bitches..." she told him. Carson left to go do what he was told.

 

Adelyn then smirked and looked around. "What are you fools all starin' at? Get back to drinkin'!"

 

II

Following the teens had been easy enough, their car certainly stood out.

 

Caitlyn sat in her car at a roadside motel right near the edge of town and watched the second-floor room that the heroines had gone into. She tapped her hand against the side of the door. "I should call and tell mama where they are, but I think I can take these bitches myself..." she said.

 

***

 

"So...as it stands, the Tyler family runs pretty much all of the crime in Murky Marsh, including the drug trade that finds its way to Delta," Lydia Willis explained to her friends. They had a series of photographs and newspaper articles spread out on the table in the rather large room. "Finding someone who will cooperate won't be easy. From what Brenda told me, everyone here is either afraid of Adelyn or loyal to her."

 

Anita Jackson, Got Chic, picked up a picture of a tall brunette in a green bikini costume. "Is this her? As Wildflower?"

 

"Yeah," Lydia confirmed. She was active in Delta City for about three years. She was pretty powerful, having control over plant life. But her methods for dealing with criminals were also pretty brutal. Eventually, Americana and some of the others banded together and told her to leave before they arrested her. She had her three children with her, but she packed up and left, came back here to her hometown. That was about 10 years ago."

 

"So why turn to a life of crime?" Jessica Lockhart, Amazing Babe, asked.

 

"You'll have to ask her," Lydia said. "All I know for sure is that crime used to be run by a gangster named Fat Kenny. When Adelyn came back, Fat Kenny vanished and his operation fell apart. Violent crime all but vanished after she took over, but smuggling and the drug trade increased."

 

"Does anyone else think this is above our pay grade?" Yumi Wong, Azure Angel, asked from where she stood by the window that looked out into the parking lot.

 

"What do you mean?" Flag Girl asked.

 

"You said yourself that Americana had to team up with a few others to make Wildflower leave. That must mean she's pretty tough, right?"

 

"But if we grab her too, then we deal a blow to a big drug smuggling ring in Delta."

 

"How so?" Anita asked.

 

"Mama Tyler...as she's called...mainly runs a crew that smuggles drugs and other stuff like stolen goods into the city. Murky Marsh is along a major highway and it's the last stop before Delta coming from the west. We take her out, we cripple that operation. Maisie's just a bonus," Lydia told them.

 

"I don't like it..." Yumi sighed. "But, there's someone sitting outside...she's been following us since we left the bar," she reported.

 

"What?" Lydia asked as all the heroines gathered by the window and peered out into the parking lot.

 

***

 

Caitlyn thumbed the screen of her cell phone in one hand and kept watching the motel room. After a long wait, the door opened and a short, curvy Asian girl walked out and leaned against the railing on the walkway outside the room.

 

Caitlyn looked down at her phone and unlocked it to text her mother.

 

Ma. They're at the motel on the edge of town.

 

When she looked up, the Asian girl was gone. Caitlyn jumped at someone knocking on her window and turned to see that same girl, who smiled and waved at her. Caitlyn climbed out of the car, only to realize the other three teens stood around her car and had her completely surrounded. They swapped out their costumes for casual clothing, but there was no mistaking who they all were.

 

Caitlyn looked around, the heroines closed in on her, and she sighed and swung, hitting Yumi across the face with a sucker punch. The attack surprised them all, and Caitlyn took the opportunity to run toward a heavily wooded area across the road from the motel. When she glanced back, she saw the four heroines were in pursuit.

 

"Oh, I hope this works..." she said to herself as she disappeared into the trees.

 

***

 

Anita stood at the front of the group as they wandered into the woods. "Anyone see her?"

 

"No," Yumi said. "I don't like this. Can you fly up and see her from there?"

 

Anita shook her head when she looked up. "The trees are too dense."

 

"Ugh, she hits pretty hard. My jaw is still sore," Yumi complained while rubbing her face.

 

"That was Caitlyn Tyler, Adelyn's daughter," Lydia explained while peering around trees and in the low-laying growth while the heroines ventured deeper into woods. "We have to assume she's like us."

 

Jessica glanced around the area, listening to the ambient sounds of the woods as the girls crushed leaves and twigs under their feet. "I don't think this is a good idea. She no doubt knows these woods..."

 

The four of them were spread out in a somewhat cleared area, overshadowed by the trees. The road was in the distance now, so far off that they could barely hear the passing traffic.

 

Anita looked at her. "I agree, but if we grab her, it'll be easy to draw her mom out. Then we can...AH!"

 

Before anyway realized it, Anita was gone, snatched into the canopy of trees by a system of vines that crept down, grabbed her by her narrow waist, and yanked her into the air. Her screams were lost in the treetops.

 

"Anita!" Jessica yelled before flying up to find her. When she got off the ground, more vines lowered from the trees, grabbed her limbs and tightened, suspending the busty teen in midair, high above her two remaining friends. "Hey! Let go!" she struggled and tried breaking free, only for a vine to wrap around her mouth like a natural gag.

 

"Well ain't that somethin'..." Caitlyn said, stepping out of seemingly nowhere and looking up. "I wish I could fly..." She then looked at Lydia and Yumi. "Now, that evens the odds a bit, don't it, girls?" she smiled.

 

They both took fighting stances and eyed Caitlyn, who adjusted the straps on her tight tank top, letting her tits bounce as she watched them both. "I hope you girls are ready for a fight."

 

Yumi looked up. "Lydia...what were Wildflower's powers?"

 

"Nature manipulation. She was so strong she could even control it in the most urbanized parts of Delta City. It looks like Caitlyn inherited the same power."

 

"Ding, ding! You ain't as dumb as you look, blondie," Caitlyn teased. "Your friends ain't getting out of those vines anytime soon, so I got you two for as long as I want."

 

Without warning, Yumi charged first. She ran and jumped, attacking with a flying kick and was stopped short when Caitlyn stomped on the ground and made a mound out of the earth under her feet. Yumi gasped and corrected at the last minute, softening her blow so her leg bent and she kicked off the mound and flipped back. She prepared to strike again, only to realize something had wrapped around her ankle. When she looked down, she saw a thick tree root snaking around before it suddenly yanked back and pulled her down.

 

"Ow!" Yumi yelped, only to be held down by more roots around her legs and arms. "Hey, what are you...stop!" she demanded as the roots, controlled by Caitlyn, tore off the shorts and top she wore, exposing the busty Asian teen's body to the cool evening air. The end of a root slithered up her thigh and towards her vulnerable snatch, and Yumi couldn't do anything but brace herself for penetration.

 

Caitlyn laughed as Yumi yelped when she got penetrated. She tightened the roots, making sure Yumi wasn't getting back up, and then commanded some of the vines holding Anita and Jessica. Their muffled cries echoed from the tree tops as they found themselves at nature's mercy.

 

"Alrighty," Caitlyn said, bouncing up and down and shaking out her muscles. "One on one now," She said, looking at Lydia.

 

The blonde teen heroine said nothing, she simply charged and threw three punches, causing Caitlyn to back up and block them.

 

"Fuck!" Caitlyn groaned, clearly not expecting the girl to attack with such intensity. A punch snuck past her defense and caught her in her tight stomach, and then another in her face, knocking her back.

 

She rubbed her jaw and put her hand to the trunk of a tree behind her and then paused when nothing happened. "What the hell? Come on! Ow!"

 

Lydia grabbed her by her head and slammed it into the tree before throwing her to the ground. Caitlyn quickly got up, but Lydia nailed her with more hits, causing her to curse and stagger back. She pinned her back to another tree and Lydia continued on, only to be stopped by a tree root around her ankle.

 

On the ground, Yumi's eyes rolled back in her head and her swollen tits heaved as the tree root pumped in and out of her tight snatch. She balled her hands into fists, trying to push the sensation out of her mind. She looked up and could see Jessica and Anita in the same situation overhead, their vulnerable, supple bodies wrapped in vines and being pumped by the subjects of Caitlyn's manipulations. Yumi arched her back against the damp grass, her pussy twitched, and she tried kicking her thick legs to get free but to no avail. When she looked up, she bit her lower lip and saw Lydia and Caitlyn fighting. Then she saw Lydia get stopped by a root around her ankle. At the same time, Yumi noticed one of the roots holding one of her arms had withdrawn.

 

She still had enough of her senses that she was able to act quickly to free her other arm, and then she began working to free her legs.

 

"Haha!" Caitlyn taunted Lydia as the root around her ankle tightened its grip. It grew in length, wrapping the teen's lithe body and shredding the simple sweatpants and t-shirt she wore. Caitlyn approached the struggling heroine and pulled her hair as the root immobilized her further. "Oh yeah...I'ma have fun with you, honey," she teased, cupping one of Lydia's bare tits and licking the side of her face. Before she could violate her any more, Caitlyn glanced behind her and noticed a busty, naked Asian girl running toward her.

 

"Shit! How'd she get free?!" Caitlyn cried out and backed up, only to get knocked to the ground by a flying kick. Yumi took a fighting stance and, at the same time, the roots wrapping Lydia up began withdrawing into the ground until she was free.

 

"Oh shit..." Caitlyn gasped. She then got up and began running deeper into the woods. Yumi went to follow until Lydia put a hand on her shoulder and shook her head.

 

"No, we lucked out..." she told her. "She could be leading us into another trap." The two were then interrupted by two thumps on the ground behind them. When they turned around, Anita and Jessica were on their asses, naked and covered in vines, with dripping pussies and dazed looks in their eyes.

 

"I hate this town...." Yumi sighed.

 

III

"Don't fight them. You ain't ready. Just come back to the house for now."

 

Adelyn sat in the living room of her home, a large, eight-room manor on the southern end of town, and put down her phone after several minutes of not getting a reply from her daughter. "Dammit, Cait..." she said and looked over to an old picture. In it, she wore a dark green, skimpy costume and matching mask. She posed with hands on hips while two bank robbers were suspended from the air, wrapped in vines.

 

Another picture showed her shaking hands with Delta City's chief of police at the time. Her hair, the same chestnut brown, was long and straight then instead of shorter and curly, and her arm didn't have the tattoo, but she still smiled when looking over those old pictures. She then sat up. "I better make sure them teen bimbos ain't stuffin' Cait in the trunk their car..."

 

"Aunt Addy?"

 

Adelyn turned around to see Maisie standing in the doorway.

 

"Hey, sugar. Don't just stand there. Come on in and have a sit," she motioned before patting the empty space next to her. Maisie had swapped out the leather jacket and jeans she had been wearing for an oversized shirt that still didn't fully hide her generous curves.

 

"I gotta go find some clothes..." she lamented.

 

"That one of Carson's?" Adelyn asked as her niece sat down.

 

"Yes ma'am. I can't fit none of Caitlyn's clothes and I literally left Delta City with only the clothes I had on my back. All my stuff's at my apartment, but the cops probably got it all now..."

 

"It's all right, sugar, we'll go and pick you some stuff out tomorrow. You need money, too?"

 

Maisie shook her head. "My accounts are safe," she said, raising her cell phones. "None of 'em got my real name on 'em so they'll be lookin' in the wrong place."

 

"Your daddy taught you well," Adelyn laughed, jabbing her in the ribs with her elbow. She then sighed, "Him and Pete was thick as thieves, weren't they?" Her gaze went to another photo on the coffee table. It showed a young Adelyn Tyler and her husband "Pistol" Pete Tyler with a baby Caitlyn many, many years ago.

 

"Yeah," Maisie said, looking to a picture next to it that showed Pete and his brother Frankie "Sticky Fingers" Tyler. "Brothers 'til the end..." she said, picking the picture up.

 

"How's your mama doin'? I ain't heard from her in a while," Adelyn asked Maisie, playing with a strand of the girl's long, pitch black hair.

 

"She's up in Delta City women's prison. She was rippin' off old men with her scams again. She been in there for like a year and a half now. The judge gave her seven this time but she can be out in three if she behave."

"I ain't surprised to hear that. I told Tammy to bring her ass back here where she'll be safe, but you can't help some people, I guess."

 

"Yeah...she'll be fine, I think, though. Mama never minded prison. Said it was nice not havin' worry about what she was gonna do every day. I can't do it, though..." 

 

"Well, you don't have to worry as long as you're here, sugar. Ain't no bimbo in a cape gettin' her hands on you."

 

"Thanks, Aunt Addy," Maisie smiled before putting the picture down. "I gotta ask: what happened to you in Delta City? I never did hear the whole story."

 

Adelyn sighed. "After Pete and your daddy got killed, I packed up the kids and headed to Delta City. I had to get away from here, and doin' what I can do, I figured I could help clean things up out there, so off we went. I got a costume, came up with a name, kicked some ass, got my ass kicked some, but I was keeping people safe and making the world better for Caitlyn and the boys. I got a little rough at times, but those bastards out there deserved it, sugar: Rapists, slavers, all kinds of shitbag sons-of-bitches. I had my own territory but I still watched over as much of the city as I could. A few years passed and a new crop of crimefighters started comin' up. One of 'em was a young girl named Ms. Americana. She was new, but she had that natural leadership quality, you know? We crossed paths sometimes and she questioned my methods, asked why I needed to be so ruthless."

 

"You ever kill anyone, aunt Addy?"

 

"Yeah, and they had it comin'. But she had a problem with that. Turned the other heroines and the police against me, sayin' I was no better than some of the people I was putting away. I saw the writin' on the wall. They weren't putting me in one of them collars and takin' my kids away, so I packed up everything, got the kids and came back here. That was the second worst day of my life, right after the day Pete died..." she trailed off.  "I tried carryin' on as Wildflower for a while when I came back..." she said, looking at her tattoo. "But after I took out Fat Kenny and shut down his whole thing, I realized controllin' crime was a better solution than fightin' it, so I did that. I shifted away from violent crime that plagued Murky Marsh and just focused on what we got going now. Everyone's happy."

 

Maisie nodded. "That's what I was trying to do out in Delta, makin' and sellin' Bliss, but a girl can't even make money while helping people get fucked. I bought an extra-potent formula too, off this lady named Dragon Queen. She was smart as hell, made the stuff pure like I ain't ever seen but didn't have the desire to make it on a mass scale, so I paid her 5 million for her formula."

 

"Woo," Adelyn whispered.

 

"I made that back in two weeks when I started manufacturing, Aunt Addy. Hell, my whole op was gonna bring in just under 130 million for the year, according to the guy runnin' my books. Then them teenage skanks came skippin' along and fucked it up. That stupid blonde one who's supposed to be their leader called me a fat bumpkin and said them girls in the women's prison were gonna make me squeal like a pig after they locked me up..." Maisie pouted. "I'd like to see her dumb ass try to identify chemical formulas just by lookin' at 'em..."   

 

"Tch. I know, sugar," Adelyn said, rubbing her niece's shoulder. "All that money I paid for your chemistry degree and these bitches couldn't just let you be. I'll deal with 'em, though." Adelyn sighed and then turned to face her niece. "Hey, you don't got any of that Bliss on you, do you? I split that last batch you sent me with the kids and we burned through it all." 

 

A grin crossed Maisie's face as she opened her cell phone case and took out a tiny plastic bag with a small pink tab with a stamp of a pair of luscious lips on it. "I got a bag full in my trunk. The cops probably destroyed all the rest and shut down my lab, so I can't make anymore."

 

"Attagirl," Adelyn smiled and took the Bliss. "And don't you worry. I'll set you up so you can get right back at it. We can run the stuff to Delta through Barry's trucks."

 

Maisie hugged her aunt. "Thanks, Aunt Addy."

 

"Ain't nothin', sugar. You hungry? I got three kids, so the kitchen's always stocked."

 

 "Nah, I'm good. I just wanna rest for a bit."

 

"Okay, off to bed, then. I gotta go make sure your cousin hasn't gone and gotten herself Shanghaied. After that, I'ma go to my room, take this Bliss and watch some videos of Idris Elba. Ooh lord, the things I wanna do to that man..." She then noticed Maisie recoil. "What?"

 

"I don't wanna picture two old people fuckin', Aunt Addy..."

 

She jabbed Maisie in her ribs again and they both laughed. "You watch who you callin' old, little girl."

 

They were then interrupted by the front door opening and closing. Adelyn got up and paused when Caitlyn appeared a few seconds later, her clothes filthy with dirt and leaves. "What the hell happened to you?"

 

"Mama, I got in a fight with them capes. All four of 'em. They almost got me. My powers stopped workin', mama!"

 

Adelyn put her hands on Caitlyn's shoulders and told her to breathe. Once Caitlyn calmed down Adelyn looked her in the eye. "You fought all four of 'em at once?"

 

"Yeah," Caitlyn nodded.

 

"Your powers didn't stop working, you just tried to do too much too quickly. I never trained you to use your powers on so many people at once like that. It's a focus thing. A mental thing. Your powers are fine, baby."

 

"Oh..." Caitlyn sighed with relief. "Okay, that makes sense..." she then laughed. "Boy, I thought I was done for sure." She then looked past her mother at her cousin. "Hey, Piggy. What's up? Agh!!" she groaned when Adelyn squeezed her shoulders. "Mama!"

 

"What's her name, Cait?"

 

"Maisie!"

 

Adelyn let her go and shook her head. "You girls go get some rest. I'll keep watch."

 

***

 

"Ow, ow, ow..." Jessica winced while picking another thorn out of her plump, red ass. The other three super teens were in similar states, spread out about the motel room, stark naked and bruised, and cleaning off dirt of plucking thorns from tender young flesh.

 

In the time since they had shambled back into the motel room, Lydia had explained more about Adelyn's time as Wildflower and why she was driven from Delta City. Yumi argued that the four of them were out of their depth dealing with someone like her, and Anita was starting to agree, but Lydia convinced them they needed to stay the course.

 

"If we have to deal with this..." Yumi said, wincing as she dabbed a cotton ball of rubbing alcohol on a scrape. "Can we at least call for backup?"

 

"We'll never get taken seriously if we have to ask the others to bail us out all the time," Jessica reasoned.

 

"Yeah, but..."

 

"She's right, Yumi," Anita said, wincing and plucking a thorn from her right tit.

 

Yumi sighed, not bothering to say anything to Lydia. She already knew she was outnumbered three to one.

 

"We have to take her down," Lydia said.

 

"We barely handled her daughter..." Yumi warned.

 

"But we know what her powers are like, now. We'll be fine," Jessica explained.

 

"Guys, I really think we need to reconsider this. She runs this whole town, she's got powers and at least one of her kids does, too. Let's just call home and..."

 

She was interrupted by a knock at the door and all four heroines snapped to attention.

 

"Oh, that's probably the takeout I ordered," Jessica smiled. "That was fast."

 

Anita opened the door to find the delivery boy standing outside holding bags of food in both hands. Before anyone could say anything, Lydia reached over Anita's shoulder, grabbed the boy by his collar, and yanked him into the room. She threw him into the chair. Jessica grabbed the food and began going through the bags.

 

"What's your name?" Lydia asked.

 

"B-Billy Crawford..." the young man answered, finding himself surrounded by four naked, shapely teens.

 

"Well, Billy Crawford, you're going to answer some questions for me, okay?"

 

"Y-yes ma'am..."

 

"Hey, Billy..." Jessica said, raising her head from a bag of food. "Where's the orange chicken?"

 

"Uh...other bag..." he pointed.

 

Jessica went through it and opened a container. "Ahhh! Awesome!" she ate a piece of orange chicken. "Oh my god, so good!"

 

"Billy, it's simple," Jessica started. "I want you to tell us about Adelyn Tyler and what she does here."

 

Billy looked around as Yumi, Jessica, and Anita stood around him. "I...I don't know anything, miss. Can I go? I got other deliveries."

 

"Billy, Billy...relax," Lydia said, smiling. "I think we can do something for you if you tell us what we need to know. One of these three girls here will give you a handjob like you've never had if you talk."

 

"Really?" Billy shifted in his chair and smiled. His cock stiffened and pressed against the inside of his pants.

 

"Not it!" Anita and Jessica said immediately.

 

"Not...AGH!" Yumi groaned. All eyes fell on her and several silent seconds passed. She then sighed and shook her head, muttering something harsh in Japanese before she approached Billy and unbuttoned his pants.

 

Lydia and Anita stood back and watched, joining Jessica in the food that Billy brought.

"Come on, baby..." Adelyn whispered to the small bed of plants that she knelt over. They sat in the shadow of much larger, more robust plants that filled the greenhouse behind her home. When she brushed her fingers against the budding plants, they sprang to life, growing several inches in length over the course of a few seconds. A smile crossed Adelyn's face when she felt the sensation of footsteps just outside the door and saw a man approach and knock. She stood up and walked to the door. The sheriff of Murky Marsh, Clem Jameson, tipped his hat once the door opened. 

 

"Evenin' Adelyn..."

 

"Clem..." she nodded while coming out.

 

He looked past her and at the greenhouse, which itself was the size of a three-room house. "No exotic plants this season?"

 

"You made me get rid of my man-eaters after Fat Kenny."

 

"That I did, Adelyn. Got a minute?"

 

"Sure do. Let's go to the front. You want something? Water? Lemonade?"

 

"I'm all right. I won't be staying long. I just came to talk to you about our out of town visitors," he told her as they made the short walk to the front of the house and up the porch.

 

"I'm gonna handle it, Clem."

 

"That's what I mean, Adelyn. I can't arrest them because they ain't done nothin' wrong. Maybe you should just give those girls what they want. Let 'em take Maisie and they'll go away. If you push this, they may call for backup, and my deputies can't help you against someone like Omega Woman."

 

"It ain't happening, Clem," Adelyn said while climbing to the top of the steps on her porch. "Maisie's my niece, I promised her daddy I would look over her. She might not be a fighter like me and Caitlyn and the boys, but I love that girl and she ain't going anywhere she don't wanna go. Especially not with some teenage bimbos who see fit to come into my town and try and tell me what to do." 

 

Clem sighed, took off his hat and scratched his brow. "I figured as much, but I had to try...if it comes to it, try to keep the damage to the town to a minimum, ya hear?"

 

"You know I'll pay to fix whatever I break, Clem."

 

Clem put his hat back on and tipped it. "I'll leave you to it, then," he said before going back to his car.

 

"How's Franny doin', Clem?"

 

"She's upset with me about something. Dunno what."

 

"You gotta eat her pussy every once in a while, Clem!" Adelyn laughed as the sheriff climbed back in his car and waved before driving away.

 

Adelyn turned to go inside and found Maisie standing in the doorway. Before Adelyn could say anything, Maisie ran at her and wrapped her arms around her tight. Adelyn was caught by surprise but hugged her niece back and kissed her on the top of her head. They embraced for several silent moments.

 

"All right, now, Maisie, go on inside. You ain't got any pants on."

 

Before they went inside, they were interrupted by the sound of a roaring car engine. They turned around to find a beat up coup slide on the gravel roadway in front of the house before coming to a stop just inches from the stairs. The door flew open and Billy Crawford ran up to the porch, his pants tight with an erection.

 

"William Alexander Crawford, Jr., what the hell are you tearin' up my road at this hour like that for?" Adelyn asked with her hands on her hips.

 

"Oh, is that who that is?" Maisie asked, standing at her aunt's side. "Hi, Billy."

 

Billy caught his breath and blinked. "I'll be goddamned. Maisie Tyler, how are ya girl? Ain't you looking nice and healthy and delicious?" His gaze took in every inch of her generous curves. "Woo-wee. I swear, the good lord blessed us by giving the world you Tyler women. Turn your pretty self around and let me see that butt."

 

Maisie blushed and averted her eyes. She began to spin until Adelyn grabbed her arm and held her in place. 

 

Adelyn looked at Billy's erection. "Flattery will get you everywhere, but keep that thing in your pants for now, Billy. And don't blaspheme in my house again or I'm gonna punt your skinny butt to the town limits. Now, why are you here?"

 

"It's trouble, Ms. Adelyn. Them Delta City girls jumped me and made me spill all the beans," he explained. "Made me tell 'em about how you run your town and where you house was and all that."

 

Adelyn walked down the stairs and approached the young man. "Made you how, Billy?"

 

"Th...they tied me up and did things to me, ma'am..."

 

"Billy Crawford, Jr., you let four skinny little city girls get the better of you?"

 

"They was tough, Ms. Adelyn."

 

"You were a champion wrestler at Murky Marsh High," Adelyn scolded, putting her hands on her hips. "Wait til I tell Billy Sr. 'bout this."

 

Billy looked down at his feet as Adelyn grabbed his jaw and looked him over. "They ain't even leave a bruise, boy!"

 

"N...no ma'am. They ain't hit me, but..."

 

Adelyn tilted her head to the side.

 

"Well, one of 'em, I think she was Chinese...she's got a real delicate touch, so the others tied me to a chair and the Chinese one went in my pants and..." 

 

Adelyn looked at Billy's erection and her face twisted. "All right, Billy, All right. Lord have mercy. They said they were comin' here?"

 

"Yes ma'am."

 

Adelyn turned toward the house and took a deep breath. "KIDS! GET YOUR BUTTS OUT HERE!" she bellowed.

 

The shout made Maisie flinch because of its volume and presence. Moments later, all three Tyler children filed out of the house and onto the porch.

 

"We got company comin'. Cait, you're stayin' here with me. Boys, take Maisie and hide her over there at the Velvet Palace. Stay with her until you hear from me or Cait, ya hear?"

 

"You got it, ma," Carson said before having his brother and Maisie follow him.

 

"Aw, they get to go to the palace?" Caitlyn frowned.

 

"They ain't goin' to party, Cait. Stop pissin' and moanin'."

 

Caitlyn mumbled something and then turned to her brother. "Hey, Carson."

 

"What?"

 

"Don't let your dick fall into Natalie Perez's mouth when you go in this time!" Caitlyn teased with a grin.

 

Adelyn sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

 

"I'll make sure of that when you make sure not to 'accidentally' fuck Zach Moss and Sammy Hayden at the same time on the roof again."

 

At that, Caitlyn's face turned red and she charged at her brother. "You little shit! Come 'ere!"

 

"'Ey!" Adelyn yelled and had both of her children by their collars before they could tear into each other. She lifted either of them a few inches off the ground with one hand each, the lean muscles on her arm flexing as she glared at them. "This can wait. Cool it, both of you," she growled before setting them down. Brother and sister glared at each other.

 

"Fucktard," Caitlyn hissed.

 

"Cock guzzler," Carson fired back.

 

They both winced when Adelyn slapped them across the backs of their heads. "It ain't funny, Cody. Stop laughin'" she chastised her youngest.

 

"Sorry, ma," her youngest straightened his face.

 

"I can't with you two. I swear to the good lord, I have half a mind to return you two, keep Cody and claim Maisie as my own instead," she threatened.

 

Maisie smiled and stuck her tongue out at Caitlyn when she noticed her glare.

 

"Now, you all got your marchin' orders. Git!"

 

Maisie and the boys went inside while Caitlyn plopped down on a chair on the porch and folded her arms with a frown on her face. 

 

Adelyn turned to Billy. "Go over to the Palace and tell your brother Maisie and the boys are comin'."

 

"Yes, ma'am," Billy nodded before getting back in his car and driving off.  

 

Adelyn watched him go and then turned to Caitlyn and stared at her sullen daughter, who looked out at the expanse of wooded area in front of their home.

 

Adelyn looked ahead, too. "I dunno what I'm gonna do with you and Carson. When I was little I had a pair of cats who ain't fight as much as you two."

 

"He started it."

 

"What is with you, girl? You fight your brother, you pick on your cousin. Why are you so ornery?"

 

Caitlyn didn't say anything. She just tapped her foot and stared ahead, looking at Adelyn when her mother sat down next to her.

 

"Talk to me, princess."

 

Caitlyn stiffened at the nickname. It was one Adelyn had mostly used when Caitlyn was little, and one she heard less and less since her teenage years.

 

"...I just...you was right all them times you said I should take my powers seriously. I never listened and I almost got my ass handed to me because of it. I fought them Delta girls because I thought it'd be easy."

 

"That's on me, Cait. You never fought someone else with powers before. Honestly, I didn't think you'd ever have to. I shoulda prepared you for it. It looks like we're gonna fix that soon, though."

 

"Can we win, ma?"  

 

"Them bitches are crazy for attacking us here of all places. We can handle 'em," she explained while rubbing Caitlyn's shoulders. "You can pay 'em back for earlier."

 

"I'd rather go to the Palace..."

 

"You can go tomorrow, ya hear?"

 

"Yes ma'am..."

 

"I'm gonna make some tea while we wait. You want some?"

 

"...Yeah, I'll take some."

 

"Good. Now stop pokin' your lip out and lookin' like someone pissed in your cereal," Adelyn scolded before kissing her daughter on the forehead and going back inside.

 

The door to the house closed behind Adelyn and Caitlyn settled in her seat. She jolted at the sound of something seemingly impacting the roof, and then looked at the night sky, swearing she saw a purple streak flying through the air, going in the same direction as Billy's car.

 

"What the fuck was that...?"
