SRU: The Costume Box, 

CATching the Party

by Steve Zink

The fraternity was hosting a costume party for Halloween. The
elder members of the frat made sure that the pledges weren't given
word about the party until only one week before Halloween. This left
the pledges with two basic problems. For one, most of the available
females would have been already invited. More importantly, at this
late date, finding adequate costumes would prove very difficult. The
theme of the costume party was comic book heroes, heroines and
villains, and most shops would have rented out or sold all these type
costumes by this time.

Leo Dalton was one of these unfortunate pledges. Upon hearing of
the party and its theme, he did a quick check around campus, only to
find that all the girls had already been asked to come. When Leo went
to the fraternity council to complain about the timing, he was told
that this was a test for the pledges to check on their determination
and originality. Leo went back to his dorm to try to think of ideas,
but started to get despondent when he came up blank.
 
Figuring there was nothing to lose by searching the shops at the
mall in an effort to satisfy half the party requirements, Leo went
there to check out the toy stores and gift shops. He found a few
remaining horror costumes, but nothing to help him with his need for a 
superhero or villain. As Leo was starting to feel totally lost, he
happened upon a little shop tucked into the corner of the mall. 
Noting some masks and fright wigs on display in the window, he looked
above the door to find the shop's name - Spells Are Us. Leo stepped
in and started looking at masks along the wall. Eventually he figured
he'd better ask someone if there was anything left he could use, and
went to the counter.

There was no one to be seen. Assuming someone had to be there if
the shop was open, Leo called out, "Hello, is anyone there? Hello?"
After a moment he heard a thud from behind the counter, and shortly an
old man in a cloak peaked out from behind the curtain. "Good evening,
Leo," said the old man as he put his wizard cap atop his head, "I
understand you have a couple of problems for the costume party." Leo
thought, "Wait a minute, how did he know my name, and what could he
possibly know about the party?" The old man cut him off. "What do
you think I'm wearing this hat for, eh? I'm a wizard. I know things.
For instance, you Leo are one of the last fraternity pledges to be out
trying to find a costume, and you cannot find a date." Leo's jaw
dropped, and the old man smiled, saying, "Hold on a sec, Leo. I think
I've got just the thing to solve your problems."
 
As the old man went back behind the curtain, Leo started to wonder
about the name of the shop. "Spells Are Us. I wonder, is this guy
for real with the goofy wizard hat, and knowing stuff without my
telling him? I should get out of here while the getting is good, but
still, if he can help me get back at the creeps in the fraternity".
Sure enough, the old man came back out with a large box in his hands.
"Now then, Leo, this should make a dynamite costume for you, and
eliminate your need for a date. There are some rules to follow".
Leo noted little of the rules, mostly that he had to be careful of
what he was using for a subject, and that a curse was put on the
costume such that the first derogatory mention of his name in the
presence of the costume character would cause a rather interesting
effect.

As he took the box from the old man, Leo hefted it to find that the
box felt empty. "What the?", he started to say, but was cut off by
the old man. "Like I said, be careful in what you choose for your
comic character. The box will supply you with a costume for whatever
character you're looking at after it is opened and changes you to
physically resemble that character. You'll be able to remove the
costume when you get back to the box in your dorm, but not before.
Have fun!" Leo picked up his box, and as he headed out the door, the
old man muttered, "Here we go again!"
 
When Leo got back to the dorm, he put away the box and got out his
Encyclopedia of the Batman Universe. Flipping past Azreal he got to
Batman, but thought, "Naw, that's too common." Getting to Batmite,
Leo pondered, "Hmm, magic character, Halloween". As he continued to
flip, Leo got to Catman, and the significance immediately struck him.
"Catman! With a name like Leo, what could be more appropriate?"
Putting a bookmark on the page, he set the book on the box and decided
to call it a night. Now he couldn't wait for Halloween!
 
On Halloween night, Leo decided he didn't want to make too early an
arrival at the party, and so waited a while before getting the box and
the book. He set the box on his coffee table, then placed the book 
next to it and opened it to the Catman page. What Leo had failed to
notice since he stopped abruptly at the Catman entry the night before,
was what came next. As he was taking off his clothes, he failed to
note that one of his pant legs brushed up against the book and turned
the page. A denuded Leo opened the box and looked down to see an
illustration of the Catwoman in the costume she wore in only one
story, in Lois Lane numbers 70/71.

Leo blinked, and the box's magic worked that fast. As her eyes
reopened, Leona brushed her shoulder length black hair out of her face
and reached into the box. The first things she grabbed were some
sleek black panties which she stepped into and pulled up to her crotch
and a corset which she laced around her waist after first tucking it under
her new 38DD breasts. Next out of the box was the shiny black lycra
spandex catsuit with a high collar in back and a plunging neckline to give
emphasis to her ample chest. Leona then pulled out a purple pair of boots
which had stiletto heels and tops which turned down just below the knee,
and put them on. She found a cape which she hooked to her shoulders and
a cowl which she pulled down over her head and secured under her chin.
A pair of gloves with claws at the fingertips was then put on, and then a ring
 which she slipped onto her left ring finger. Lastly was a weapons kit
 on a belt which she secured around her hips. Stepping proudly over to
 her mirror, Leona saw her transformed self and purred her approval.
 
Upon entering the hall where the party was occurring, Leona noted
an assortment of characters from the pages of the major comic book
companies, assuming that the males were frat brothers and the females
were their sorority sister dates. It was readily apparent that many
of the women were not built for the character they were portraying,
and a lot of the guys left a lot to be desired also. Many of the
frat brats took one look at Leona and lost all interest in their
dates, wondering who this awesome woman was. One, dressed as Superman
to match his ego, sauntered over to Leona and said, "We've been
keeping track of those coming to the party. I must say, my dear, that
you have us stumped. Such an excellent costume, with nobody to
accompany you. We thought all the females on campus were accounted
for. We half expected to see that dork, Leo, come here in some lame
costume, but he's not been seen."

No sooner had he said this that the old man's curse took affect.
Where moments ago had stood Superman, Batman, Spider-man, Supreme and
others, now stood Superwoman, Batwoman, Spider-woman, Lady Supreme 
and
the female versions of every male character that had been there. The
wimpy looking Batgirl, Black Cat, Glory, Lady Death and others now
developed physiques to match their well endowed comic bad girl
representations. More importantly, no one there had any clue as to
who they had been before coming to the party, with the exception of
Leona. However, she took one look at the room full of bad girls and
said to herself, "This is too good to be true. I'm the Catwoman, and
with my cat's eye ring I can hypnotize all these broads into being my
willing kittens. Yes, I think we can say goodbye to Leona. My name
is Selina Kyle, and once I've gotten this band of kittens into their
Catgirl costumes, we're going on a crime spree that will make this
city tremble!"

Just after the Catwoman had formed her plans for further
transforming the now all female party goers into her gang of Catgirls,
the old man dropped in to make his traditional check on how his
customer was doing. Knowing in his own way that this Catwoman was in
fact Leo, the wizard approached her just before she could turn her
cat's eye ring on the group. "Well Selina, it appears that the box
did well in providing you with a costume and the body to fill it. Are
you sure it is actually you wanting to go on this crime spree, or is
Leo still inside you somewhere?" At this, a spark showed in
Catwoman's eyes, and she lowered her hand, covering the ring. "Glad
you made it before all hell broke loose, old man," she responded.
"After your spell worked its magic on all these comic book bad girls
here, something in me turned my mind besides my body into Selina Kyle.
Now, thankfully, I'm Leo again, at least on the inside. What will
happen to all these babes now, though?"
 
The wizard looked out over the crowd and uttered a brief spell.
Turning back to the Catwoman, he said, "It's all fixed now. As each
party goer leaves the building, he or she will revert to the form they
were in before the insult derived spell took effect, with no memory of
the change. In the meantime, though, this is going to be a party that
Eddie Glover would have loved to attend. These girls are going to
have some real fun for the next few hours!" Taking Catwoman in hand,
he led her to a quiet corner. "Now then, what about you? Is it Leo
or Selina who will continue? You are not affected by the reversal
spell, so if you go back to your dorm to change, you'll be Leo again.
Otherwise, if you stay away from your dorm, you'll remain as Selina
Kyle, and I'm not sure if something else could trigger her control of
your mind, returning to a crime spree."
 
Catwoman put one of her claws to the old man's lips to hush him.
"Don't you worry. I'm going straight back to the dorm after this
party is over. If you don't mind, though, I'm going to hang on to
your costume box. After seeing all the comic heroines and
villainesses here tonite, I'd like to try on some of their bodies in
the future." With a glint in his eye, the wizard smiled and said, "Of
course, Leo. By all means, keep the box. I'm sure you'll have lots
of fun with it in the future." As he turned to leave, all kinds of
images were forming in the wizard's mind as he conjured Leo's near
future. "My, my, my," he thought, "I'll definitely have to let Eddie
know about this one!"

part 2 The More the Merrier

As the party wore on that evening, Leo, still in the form of
Leona wearing her Catwoman costume, made mental note of some of the
female comic characters she was seeing amongst all the part goers.
The Marvel Universe was not very well represented, with only Storm
and Rogue of the X-Men and the Black Cat from Spider-Man on hand. DC
was represented by a good number of characters, including Supergirl,
Batgirl, Batwoman, Mary Marvel, Black Canary from the JLA, Saturn Girl
from the Legion of Super Heroes and Cascade from the Sovreign Seven.
Image and other smaller comic companies which relied heavily upon
their 'bad girl' characters for sales were obviously well taken care
of. What had Catwoman really puzzled was the total lack of some of
the more likely characters. This got her to thinking of just what to
start with when she would start experimenting with the box again.
 
When Leo got back to his dorm room, he took off the Catwoman
costume and placed it in the box. As soon as he did so, he reverted
back to his male identity. Leo then put away the Batman Universe
book, and checked his comic collection for any Wonder Woman books.
Sure enough, he found a few, and bringing one over to the box, he
reached in. While he felt his body changing once again, Leo pulled
out the Wonder Woman costume. This time Leona was becoming Diana
Prince, and when she had the complete costume on, she started to
attain the knowledge of her powers as Wonder Woman. She also wondered
why it was that no one at the party had done her. As she preened in
front of her mirror, she took note of the fact that her magic lasso
appeared, clipped on her belt. Trying an old trick she remembered
from the old TV show, Wonder Woman spun with her arms spread and soon
appeared as her alter ego, Dianna Prince. "Ah," she thought, "this
could come in handy at some point!" Changing back to Wonder Woman in
another spin, she took off the costume and then finally went to bed as
Leo.

A few days later, Leo went back to the mall to tell the Old Man
at Spells R Us about the way the box had worked again for him. "I
had a feeling you'd find a few good uses for that box, Leo," the Old
Man told him. The wizard then showed Leo a few items he'd pulled off
his computer, amongst being a couple of stories and some good artwork
pulled down from some comics websites. "There is one story here you
might want to take special note of, Leo," he continued. "There is a
guy named Joseph who has come to me about some real and imagined
changes he wrote about, so I helped him out just a bit. I think you
have the means to give Joseph a real run for his money." "Oh, you mean
get him to use the box?", asked Leo. "Precisely, my friend," the
wizard responded, "so far he has only wished to be a female for one
night after dreaming about being one earlier. With your Magic Box,
you can give him an experience he may not be prepared for, but will
probably thoroughly enjoy!" With Joseph's address in his hand, Leo
left the shop, forming some ideas while driving back to the dorm.
 
Leo got his phone book out once he was back at the school, and
finding Joseph's number, gave him a call. Reaching Amanda, who told
Leo that Joseph was out, he told her that he'd like to get Joseph to
come over to the school to visit him and discuss their respective
comic book collections. He gave her his phone number and asked her to
have Joseph call when he got in. By sheer luck, at that moment Joseph
came in, and Amanda passed the phone to him, Leo going thru his spiel
one more time. It was arranged for Joseph to come by at 8:00 that
evening.

Leo answered a knock on his door to find Joseph shivering there
in a sweater but no jacket. "Come on in," Leo invited, "you look you
could use some coffee!" Shaking Leo's hand, Joseph stepped in and
said, "That sounds like an excellent idea." Sitting at the coffee
table in his living room, Leo and Joseph then talked about their
respective interests in DC and Marvel comics. Leo took note of a
glistening in Joseph's eyes while talking about Spider-Man and his
girlfriend, then wife, Mary Jane Watson-Parker. "Bingo," thought Leo,
"I think we're on to something here!"
 
Having Joseph stay at the table while he went to get something to
show him, Leo went to his bedroom closet and got out the Magic Box.
Bringing it into the living room, he put it on the couch and asked
Joseph to get one his books and find a good illustration of Mary Jane.
When Joseph brought it over to him, Leo told him to set the comic down
then open up the box. Leo stepped away, then watched the fun start.
Before Joseph could even say anything, he morphed into Mary Jane, a
gorgeous redhead with a figure that could easily make her a model or
actress, just as the comic character did. Reaching into the box, Mary
Jane pulled out an outfit consisting of a sweater, tights, miniskirt
and 5" heeled shoes. Putting the ensemble on, Mary Jane turned to Leo
and asked him what was going on. "Well, Joseph," Leo told her, "I saw
how fondly you looked at Mary Jane in the book, and a certain friend
of ours told me about a certain wish you had. Your wish is now
granted. But I've got something else I want to show you. Why don't
you wait here, and I'll go to my bedroom for a few minutes and show
you something else."

Leo got out the Wonder Woman picture, opened the box, and once
again became the Amazon Princess. Spinning, she then became Dianna
Prince. Walking back out into the living room, Dianna called to Mary
Jane, who turned and saw the ebony haired goddess in civilian clothes.
"Let's go to the mall before the shops close," Dianna proposed, "and
we can show the old man what we've come up with!" To which Mary Jane
responded, "Oh, THAT'S the mutual friend you were talking about!
Yeah, let's go see how many heads we can turn, and maybe hit the
Victoria's Secret to see if they have any knockout goodies that will
fit THIS body!" Grabbing one of Leo's leather jackets, Dianna put it
on, then left with Mary Jane for the mall.
 
After visiting the SRU shop and seeing the wizard's eyes get
saucer-like, the girls went to the Victoria's Secret where they had
the staff drooling with envy. Going back to the exit, a guy walked up
to the duo and put himself in front of them before they could ge out
the door. "Good evening, ladies. My name is Steve, and I saw you
earlier as you were shopping. I've just got to ask you - I can't help
but think you two look like a couple of comic characters from books I
have in my collection. Dianna Prince," he said while looking into
Dianna's face, and turning to Mary Jane, "the prettiest girl in
Marveldom, Mary Jane Watson." "Well, you're close Steve," said Mary
Jane. "Did you forget that I got married a few years ago? It's now
Mary Jane Watson-Parker. A mouthful, but it keeps all my old fans
happy as well as the newer ones." Dianna turned to Steve, saying,
"You must be a big comic fan, Steve. Would you like to see the
collection I have back at my room? If you'd like, you can join us for
the ride back." With his eyes starting to bug out, Steve jumped at
the chance and said, "Sure, I'd love to join you two. Let's go!"
Dianna turned to Mary Jane, and whispered, "He'd like to join us, eh?
Just wait 'til we get back to the room. I'll show you both a new trick!"

Steve was seated on the couch, putting down some more of the
coffee and talking to Mary Jane while Dianna went to get some more
comics. Setting the box down next to him, Dianna asked Steve, "Are
you familiar with the Wonder Woman books, Steve? I've got some here
I'd like you to see." "Well, which era of Wonder Woman are you
asking about, Dianna? The Golden Age one, the Silver Age up to the
early 80's, or the current one done rather nicely by a number of good
artists? I'm pretty good with all three, with the 70's best,"
replied Steve. Dianna laid down a book, saying,"The 70's era is what
I'm actually working with, Steve. Do you know the character on that
page?" While he turned to look, Dianna opened the box. "Yes, of
course," said Steve, "that's Priscilla Rich in WWII," and as he turned
back to Dianna he faced the open box. The next moment, a gorgeous
young blonde was sitting on the couch, and as she reached into the
box, she found a business suit which she proceeded to put on. "Now
you have joined us, Priscilla. How do you like your new comic
identity?" asked Dianna. "I think I'm going to love this," said
Pricilla, "now I know how you two got to look like comic beauties."
Grinning, Dianna turned to Carol then Mary Jane, and said, "You two
are now going to find out just exactly why I had you change into the
women you're so glad to be portraying!"
 
Dianna spun into her Wonder Woman identity. Upon seeing Wonder
Woman, a change came over Priscilla, who shook her head, dropped her
face into her hands, then looking up scowled at Wonder Woman.
Opening the book to a different page, Wonder Woman said, "Your costume
is in the box, Cheetah, go ahead and put it on. Priscilla reached in
and pulled out a spotted catsuit that went from head to toe as a
single piece, with spike heels at one end, clawed fingers in the
middle, and a full head covering cowl at the top. When she had the
costume on, Wonder Women wrapped her lasso around the Cheetah and told
her that she had no past as anyone other than her current identity,
and memories of Steve and even Priscilla were erased. "I will give
you back your identity in due time, but for now, you are only one
person,"said Wonder Woman, "the Cheetah!"
 
All this time Mary Jane was watching in awe. Wonder Woman then
turned to Mary Jane. "You didn't think you were going to get away
easily did you, Mary Jane? I have here a rather interesting story I
pulled off a Spider-Man website which fortunately was illustrated,"
said Wonder Woman as she placed the story and the box near Mary Jane.
"In this story, it wasn't Eddie Brock who was the recipient of the
alien symbiote costume, it was Mary Jane!" Mary Jane looked at the
story, and as she reached to the box, an evil looking, shiny black
material shot out to envelope her completely, resulting in a slightly
different looking She Venom from the one which had been Eddie's ex-
wife in the Venom comic. Once again, Wonder Woman put her magic
lasso to work, winding it around the ex-Mary Jane, saying, "The
Other, as your symbiote is called, is now controlling you. Until I
release you, She Venom, this is how you will be living. Now then,
ladies, let's go have some fun!

Part 3 The Plot Thickens

Wonder Woman, Cheetah and She Venom, otherwise known as Leo, Steve and 
Joseph, spent the night in true comic book fashion, with Cheetah doing her best 
to try and kill Wonder Woman, and She Venom just acting like the raving lunatic 
she was. Wonder Woman was able to keep both girls in hand and eventually led 
both back to Leo's dorm room. If anyone had noticed voluptuosly built, garishly 
clad women going out or back into the dorm that evening, they were keeping it 
to themselves. 

Leo had been thinking all evening about how to extend the fun and games she'd 
started with Joseph and Steve earlier that night. Before changing 
from her Wonder Woman identity, she once again put the magic lasso to use. 
Wrapping it around the waist of the raging Cheetah, she told her that she would 
once again be able to assume her earlier identities of Priscilla and Steve. Wonder 
Woman then instructed her to fall into a deep sleep, at which Cheetah closed her 
eyes, and dropped to the floor into a fetal position. Wonder Woman then 
wrapped the lasso around She Venom, allowing her to once again become Mary 
Jane and Joseph. Leading She Venom to the box, Wonder Woman opened it by 
her side without any imagery next to it, and the symbiote rapidly oozed off her, 
leaving Mary Jane standing there. 

"Mary Jane," said Wonder Woman, "I'm planning on having a bit of fun with 
Cheetah here before I allow her to transform back. Would you like to spend the 
rest of the night and the next day the way you are now, then come back 
tomorrow evening?" Mary Jane pondered this suggestion for just a moment, 
then replied, "Sure, Wonder Woman. Amanda isn't around tonight, so I can go 
home and explore the options of this female body. Have fun!" Mary Jane put on 
the faux fur she had picked up earlier at the mall, then departed.

Wanting to watch the interesting mental conflicts again, Wonder Woman then 
woke up Cheetah. Seeing her enemy immediately upon opening her eyes, 
Cheetah hissed at Wonder Woman, then reached with outstretched claws toward 
her throat. Wonder Woman used this opportunity to wrap the lasso around 
Cheetah's wrists, and told her to become calm. The rage left Cheetah's eyes, and 
she relaxed from the attack stance she had been in. "Cheetah," said Wonder 
Woman, "when you become Priscilla again in a few moments, you will be filled 
with the need to release your sexual tension. The first male you see will be the 
answer to this need." With that, Wonder Woman undid the lasso from Cheetah's 
wrists, and watched the scowl form on her face once again. Doing her classic 
spin, Wonder Woman disappeared to reveal Dianna standing there.

Almost immediately, Dianna saw Cheetah get a blank look on her face. In mere 
moments, Cheetah shook her head, reached to her face with her clawed hands, 
and pulling them away, remarked, "Dianna, what am I doing in this costume? 
Have I been the Cheetah once again this evening?" Taking Cheetah's hands in 
hers, Dianna said, "Yes, Priscilla. Unfortunately, Wonder Woman made an 
appearance earlier this evening and your alter ego took over your mind. Now 
that she's gone, you are Priscilla once again. Your clothes are still over on the 
couch, go ahead and change." As Cheetah started to strip out of her costume, 
Dianna left the room with the box in her hands.

Back in Leo's bedroom, Dianna spun into Wonder Woman again, openned the 
box, and reassumed Leo's form. Leo edged his way passed the doorway to 
check on Priscilla, and seeing her once again in her suit, walked into the living 
room. Priscilla looked up, saw Leo, and started to heat up. "Well hello there, 
sir," she said, "could I possibly interest you in some sexual fun?" Leo smiled, 
and responded, "Yes, Ma'am. I would very much like to join you in bed. Come 
this way." Leo took Priscilla by the hand and led her into the bedroom.

Priscilla stripped in a feverish frenzy, making Leo wonder if maybe he'd had 
Wonder Woman get her a bit too frantic for sex. After he disrobed, Leo reached 
to Priscilla, and brought her into his arms. Feeling her monstrous tits press 
against his chest, he went into high gear himself, and started to lick and gently 
chew the aroused nipples on her breasts. Priscilla moaned in ecstacy, then threw 
Leo onto the bed. In short order, she found herself on her back, with Leo using 
his tongue to eagerly explore her body. Soon Leo was inside her, pumping 
slowly at first to get her lubricated. As Priscilla felt her juices starting to flow 
and her vaginal muscles clamping down on Leo's prick, she squealed in glee. 
Leo took this as his cue, and started pumping furiously. He was being patient, 
though. As Priscilla started to quiver and moan with more fervor, he figured she 
was close to orgasm. When she burst forth with a primal cry and shoved her 
pelvis up into his groin, Leo gave a final massive push himself, and imbedding 
his prick deep in her vagina, he came also, pumping an awesome load of sperm 
into her waiting pussy.

As she started to relax, Leo again started licking her body, and as Priscilla cooed 
in approval, he started to slowly back away from the sexual demon he's created. 
"Now to resolve this situation," he mused to himself. After getting redressed, 
Leo went back to the bed and lifted Priscilla by a hand. He brought her over to 
the box, and opened it. In moments, where his recent amoure had stood, now 
stood Steve. "Wow, I have vague memories of being turned into a comic book 
female earlier this evening," he said, "but my mind's a blank as to what I or we 
have done all night." Leo told him, "I'm the owner of the box which 
transformed you, Steve. My name is Leo, and if you remember from the mall 
earlier on, I was Dianna! A friend of mine named Joseph was Mary Jane, and 
SHE is still in that form at his house. Mary Jane will be coming back later this 
evening." 

"In that case, Leo, can I make a suggestion to put your box to use again when 
she comes back?", Steve asked. After passing on his suggestion, Leo nodded, 
then got out a sheet and blanket for Steve to use so he could spend the night on 
the couch, while Leo bedded down in the same spot he'd just had the best sex he 
could remember with a partner now totally unaware of the time spent there. Both 
slept soundly. 

Spending the better part of the following day discussing comic book collections, 
Leo and Steve bided their time until late in the afternoon, when they started to get 
prepared for Mary Jane's return. Steve had Leo dig thru his comics until he 
found a copy of Green Lantern number 16, then they both searched until they 
found a copy of World's Finest number 169. Leo set up the box in the living 
room, then put the Green Lantern book next to it. Steve stepped over to the box, 
opened the book to an appropriate page, and when he opened the box became a 
raven haired beauty with a lean but well built body. She was now Carol Ferris, 
Green Latern's girl friend. Flipping to a different page, Carol reached into the 
box and pulled out a gleaming purple gem. She didn't need the box for her 
costume; as soon as she caught sight of the gem, her clothes transformed into a 
pink leotard, high heeled pink boots, purple gloves, a wide white belt around her 
waist, a pink domino mask and a pink tiara upon her forehead. Star Sapphire 
picked up her gem and placed it in her tiara, then walked to the center of the 
room. As Leo had been instructed earlier, he then said, "Carol Ferris," and Star 
Sapphire reverted to her earlier form. They put the sapphire into a small box until 
it would be needed later. 

Leo put the World's Finest next to the box, and making sure he had the right 
page open, opened the box. As Leo's visage melted away, the form which took 
his place was a brown haired vision of feminine perfection. She reached into the 
box to get her costume, and Black Flame, one of Superman and Supergirl's 
superpowered foes from the bottled city of Kandor, put on a sleeveless blue 
body stocking with expanded shoulders. This was followed by blue gloves 
which covered most of her arms but not the hands, and ankle high stiletto heeled 
red boots which she pulled on. Black Flame then hooked a red cape to her 
shoulders, put a red domino mask over her eyes, and finally placed a ring on her 
right ring finger. "We will use this same book to let Mary Jane do her next 
transformation. Then just watch what I will do with this Brain Command ring," 
Black Flame said to Carol. Black Flame then asked Carol to change into Star 
Sapphire to use her gem to generate some civilian clothes for her to wear. This 
done, Black Flame once again spoke Carol's name aloud, and with both women 
in civilian garb, awaited Mary Jane. 

That evening, Mary Jane knocked at Leo's door, and was met by two women 
she didn't rcognize but assumed to be Leo and Steve. "Good evening, ladies. I 
hope you'll let me in on what you have done before my arrival," Mary Jane said 
as she hung her coat. "Why certainly, Mary Jane," replied Black Flame, "we've 
checked some more comics and found some more characters to do. A new one 
for you is waiting in the bedroom. Why don't you go on in, the page is already 
set for you. Just open the box, and your next character will appear. We'll wait 
out here for you." As Mary Jane proceeded to the bedroom, Black Flame quickly 
got back into costume. Carol watched, biding her time. 

In short order, a petite blonde in a striking blue leotard and skirt with red boots 
and cape came into the living room. "Hello, Supergirl," said Carol. "Wow," she 
replied, "how could you have known this was another of my favorite characters? 
I've got all of Supergirl's powers, and in this form I could be a real force for 
good!" Supergirl then watched in awe as Carol opened a tiny box, and was 
transformed into Star Sapphire. Black Flame then said, "Do you recognize me, 
Supergirl, or can I call you Kara?" "Sure," Supergirl rsponded, "Kara is fine, 
but I'm sorry, I can't place you." "That's too bad, Kara," sneered Black Flame, 
"because if you had you'd have known that I'm Black Flame, and not to let me 
get near you!" 

Black Flame, equally as strong as Supergirl, grabbed onto her arms to hold her 
still. Aiming her Brain Control ring into Supergirl's eyes, she said, "Kara, 
forget any thoughts you had about being 'a real force for good.' In a different 
story, a part of you split off to make a totally evil twin with no scruples at all. 
You, Kara are now that evil twin. Your name is Satan Girl. Star Sapphire, 
would you please give Satan Girl her costume?" Star Sapphire concentrated on 
Kara's form, and in moments the blue and red costume was replaced with a 
black one which covered Kara's body competely, 
from the cowl to her toes, which she happened to be standing on thanks to 
the incredible heels on her boots. Being super meant walking in the boots was 
no problem. "Ah, thank you for this opportunity, Black Flame, Star Sapphire," 
Satan Girl said. "Now, do me a favor and come a bit closer." As the other two 
super villains gathered closer to Satan Girl, she put her super hypnotic ability to 
use. "You both probably have full recollection of who you have been, as I still 
do. Unfortunately for you, I command you to lose all ties to past identities. 
Where we had been two villainesses and a heroine, then three villainesses, with 
probable plans by you to merely act out a role while having fun, you are both 
now the evil characters you are portraying, and thanks to you, Black Flame, I'm 
the vilest of the lot! Now, let's go create some havoc!"

Will any way be found to restore Supergirl to her right mind, bring back Black 
Flame and Star Sapphire to their original identities, and prevent the collapse of 
civilization as we know it? The Old Wizard at SRU may be the only hope....

Part 4, The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful

The very moment that Satan Girl hypnotized Black Flame and Star Sapphire, the 
old wizard's mystical warning system went off. The magic used at the Spells 
Are Us shop was intended to cause fun and a bit of mayhem, but never true evil. 
Therefore, whenever one of the SRU-derived spells diverted towards evil, the 
old man got the word. Mere moments after Satan Girl said her fateful words, he 
walked through Leo's dormroom door. 

The three villainesses turned to see who dared to intrude on their scene. The old 
man raised a magic shield just in case, then approached the ladies. "My, my, 
my, what a fix you've gotten into this time! There are enough super powers 
among the three of you," he said, "to easily destroy or rule the world. I'd be 
expelled from the guild if I allowed any of you to harm anyone, so..." The 
wizard raised his right hand, waved it in front of the women, then said, "You've 
all got your identities back now. Now would you please tell me who's who?"

Black Flame spoke up first, saying, "Looks like you've saved the day once 
again. I'm Leo, and just like you prevented me as Catwoman from going too far, 
you've stopped us." "I'm Joseph," said Satan Girl, "you remember, I visited 
you shop last week." Star Sapphire then added, "My name is Steve and I met 
Leo and Joseph yesterday evening at the mall while they were there as Diana and 
Mary Jane." "Okay," said the wizard, "I guess the situation has calmed down 
here. Leo, you're going to have to be more careful in how you use the costume 
box, or I'll have to take it back to the shop." "Sorry, wiz," said Black Flame, "I 
promise I'll make sure somebody always has their own mind as a safety valve 
from now on. Can I please keep the box?" The wizard pondered a moment, 
finally getting a chance to fully evalute the comic character women. "You've 
certainly done a good job using the box," he said, "so I guess I'll leave it with 
you for the time being. Just try to be more careful!" With that, all three group 
hugged him, and before all that ultra feminine chest development could make a 
lasting impression on him, the wizard popped out of the grope and back to his 
shop. 

Black Flame pulled out of the huddle, and said, "Well, we do have these super 
powers. Let's enjoy them for a little bit while we still have them. Satan Girl, 
would you rather go back to Supergirl for the time being?" Looking down at her 
voluptuous figure clad in black, with her feet perched on her toes in the ultra 
sexy boots, she said, "As much as I'm enjoying the way I look right now, I 
doubt this would go over very well if anyone saw us. I guess Supergirl would 
be a better bet." Black Flame motioned to Star Sapphire, and with a bolt of 
purple energy, Kara once more had on her blue and red costume. "Uh, girls," 
Kara said, "I know Supergirl had these wimpy flat heeled boots in most of the 
comics, but in some of them the boots had nice heels. Could we change these?" 
Star Sapphire took aim with her right hand, fired a short burst of magical 
energy, and Kara's eyelevel rose 6". "Ah, much nicer," she said. "Thank you 
very much! 

The three girls then stepped outside and took off to soar through the air. 
Marveling at the experience, they decided to take a speedy trip around the globe 
to see what they could see. "Star Sapphire, are you going to have any problem 
using your gemstone's power to keep up with our Kryptonian derived 
powers?", asked Supergirl. "No," she replied, "my power is derived from will 
power, so no physical exertion takes place. I'll keep up just fine." With that, a 
blue, red and pink blur was seen by those below as the beauties went on their 
world tour. Stopping along the way to cork an exploding volcano and divert the 
waters from a burst dam, the three got back to Leo's dorm four hours later. 

After each of the girls used the box to get out of character, the guys sat down in 
the living room. "This has been a real blast," Steve said. "Yeah," Joseph added, 
"I hope you will let us have some more fun with your box, Leo." "I think as 
long as we don't get the wizard alarmed, we should be able to do all kinds of fun 
characters with the box. If either of you sees some good images or stories in the 
comics and gets some ideas, let me know, and I'll get together with whoever we 
need for the scenario. Now let's all get some sleep! Superwomen may not need 
rest, but I'm bushed." With that, Joseph and Steve departed, and Leo retired to 
his bedroom. 


Will we see more comic good girls? Aw c'mon, you just know it!
